On the Jinwen Street in the eastern part of the capital, shops gather, the weather is gradually warming up, and business here is gradually becoming lively.

Especially the shops selling pen and ink classics, because Chunwei is approaching, business is particularly prosperous, even the shops with calligraphy and painting classics are also very lively. It can be seen that a group of scholars keep coming and going.

According to the rules, in the second year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, there will be an Enke. In the past two years, the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty has changed frequently, and the imperial examinations have been more intensive than in previous years. For scholars, it is a great opportunity.

In the bustling atmosphere, only the northernmost storefront of Jinwen Street was slightly cold. Here are all antique gold and jade shops, this kind of shops, business has never had a peak season or off-season, what is important is to open for three years without opening for three years.

In front of an antique shop called Xingluolou, the shop assistant and the shopkeeper were at the entrance of the shop, moved their chairs and lazily basking in the sun, looking at the prosperous book shop in the distance, while chatting casually.

While chatting with each other, suddenly a middle-aged man walked over here quickly.

The men's clothes were ordinary, just coarse cloth, with two patches, and his appearance was even more mediocre. The shopkeeper only glanced at it and knew that it could not be a customer of his store. But the man bent his head down and folded his hands in front of his chest. There seemed to be bulging, and along the way, although he tried to calm down, he inadvertently looked around, revealing a trace of tension.

Are here to sell things! And this look is mostly a thief. don't know if he stole the dowry of his wife at home or stole other people's stolen goods?

The shopkeeper's antique treasure business has been infiltrated for decades, and he has already cultivated a pair of golden eyes.

Before the man approached, he figured out most of him.

He glanced away, the shop assistant next to him immediately understood and greeted him.

Not long after, in the shop in Xingluo Building, the gray-clothed middle-aged man tremblingly took out two radiant objects from his arms.

The shopkeeper took it over and examined it carefully. The tentacles are cold and lustrous, and the texture seems to be two slices of colored glaze, but it is rare to see such a transparent one, a green, like a beautiful jade, and a sea blue, comparable to a gem.

Colored glaze products are not rare at the moment, but they are so pure that the figure behind them can be clearly seen through them, and the color is well-proportioned and bright, which is indeed rare.

The middle-aged man whispered: "This is something made in-house, absolutely rare on the market. You always pay a price."

Built in? The shopkeeper overturned twice, and did not see the built-in logo, but fortunately, there is no logo, otherwise it will be difficult to shoot. If the trace is erased, the integrity of the whole piece will be destroyed and the value will be greatly reduced.

After some identification, the shopkeeper asked casually: "Do you still have it in your hands?"

"There are only two pieces, there are no more." The middle-aged man said.

In the end, the shopkeeper stretched out a hand: "Twenty taels."

After some bargaining, the two parties finally settled for 27 taels of silver.

The middle-aged man suppressed his ecstasy, counted the silver points clearly, stuffed it into his arms, and quickly slipped away.

The shop clerk couldn't help asking: "The shopkeeper, I am afraid that the origin of this thing is not so innocent..." They are time-honored brands in the capital, and they refuse to accept ordinary things.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Those eyebrows and rat eyes are not something of innocent origin. But before Guang Linghou celebrated his wife's birthday, the Baishou peach bonsai customized in our house is missing brightly colored things to decorate the flower pots. Isn’t this inlaid right?"

The shop clerk thought for a while, the bonsai was a hundred peaches carved from red jade, lined with green leaves, and this was inlaid underneath, which was not right.

That is the number one big business in the store this year. It must be done in a decent manner, and if things are cut, the calendar will not be visible. Immediately flattered and said: "The shopkeeper is wise."

*********

Inside the Beginning-of-Creation Palace.

Qin Nuo left the court and called several courtiers routinely at the Beginning-of-Creation Palace.

The person in front of him is Zhan Ziping, the current leader of eastern camp. He is a resolute middle-aged man who was originally one of the deputy leaders. He was from a rare bottom-class military commander of this rank, not a child of an honorable family. He was born and died in the northern border in his early years, and made a lot of credit. He climbed from an ordinary small school all the way to a middle-level officer. He was favored by the Guo family and was promoted to the eastern camp. Although the Guo family wooed him quite a bit, it was not considered a direct line.

On the night of Qin Jian's rebellion, he was the one who set out the chaos in time, restrained his subordinates from participating in the rebellion, and went to the prime minister's house to inform the secret.

This action finally saved the lives of some people in the eastern camp and would not make the entire eastern camp completely disappear, but the internal cleaning is inevitable.

Because of his merits in reporting, he temporarily acts as deputy commander.

This promotion is actually quite sinister. Most of the eastern camp is the best friend of the Guo family. This guy became an informer. Although the starting point is for the sake of the eastern camp, it is definitely a job to be despised among the warriors who advocate iron-blood loyalty. .

This promotion of Queen Mother Huo may not have further weakened the eastern camp and plans to remove it. But then Qin Cong suddenly became seriously ill, and he didn't care about these methods, so there was no follow-up action.

But what is unexpected is that Zhan Ziping did a very good job even though he was only temporarily in charge. There is very little opposition in the camp, which shows its daily prestige.

Qin Nuo has read relevant information. He arranged for the remaining colleagues properly, and tried his best to rescue the colleagues who were unfortunately implicated and purged, even if they were grudges in the past, although the results were minimal. In the past two years, the army has been shut down.

The humiliation of Dai Deyao in front of the Shenbing Camp was already commonplace for him.

Moreover, his own salary and property were mostly used to support the family members of the dead colleagues. He still lives in a rented house. Because of this, the DPRK has quite a bit of discussion with him, and even if he looks back in time, he is still angry with the chaotic party.

After Qin Nuo took the throne, he was formally promoted to the position of commander, and ordered to recruit new soldiers and expand the camp.

Reorganizing the eastern camp and reclaiming it for his own use is the first step for Qin Nuo in the army.

Although his officials had some objections to his promotion of eastern camp, after Huo Donglai took the lead in changing direction, he did not object too much. After all, it has been more than two years since Qin Jian rebelled. Today's eastern camp has been purged several times, and the Guo family's influence has long been wiped out.

Qin Nuo took over at this time, and then applied grace, it was definitely a help in the snow.

Zhan Ziping Gongsheng reported the affairs after the expansion of eastern camp recently. Qin Nuo listened, very satisfied.

"In the past few days, I will withdraw the two soldiers and horses that were originally abolished to the Northern Army and Southern Army to the capital."

Zhan Ziping's figure trembled, fell to his knees, and said sincerely: "The emperor's grace, the eastern camp has nothing to do with it."

Most of the soldiers assigned to the Eastern Camp to the Northern and Southern Army were charged into places like the sinking camp, when called by death squads. To be recalled now is undoubtedly saving his life.

The soldiers dispatched in the past two years have been killed a lot, but to put it another way, almost all of the elites who have not been killed after more than two years of life and death are the elites, which is what Qin Nuo needs now.

He hopes to restore the eastern camp to about 60,000 this year, which is the most elite force he can control.

After talking a few more words, Qin Nuo ordered him to retreat.

Zhan Ziping came out of the main hall, the sun outside the hall was extremely bright, and his always calm and firm face softened a bit.

After so long in the cold winter, now there is finally a glimmer of light, how can people not be happy?

Although the emperor was young, he already had the image of a bright master. Up and down the eastern camp, finally able to walk back to the right path.

"General Zhan is in a good mood today?"

A clear greeting sounded from the side. Zhan Ziping calmed his mind and turned his head to look around. He bowed slightly, "General Cui, I have seen you for a long time."

The other party nodded in response and said with a smile: "I have seen you for a long time."

"I heard that the eastern camp has been expanding its enrollment in recent days. I have heard the news in the south."

"Grace to the emperor, regroup." Zhan Ziping said calmly.

What else Cui Qian wanted to say, Xu Mincai hurried out from the hall and smiled: "General Cui, the emperor summoned him."

Cui Qian then Shi Shiran entered the Beginning-of-Creation Palace.

Qin Nuo only felt his eyes shine when the long and jade youth stepped into the temple.

Although it is not the first time have seen Cui Qian, still can't help but admire him.

He suddenly understood why Qin Cong had been rumored with the person in front of him about the broken sleeve.

Cui Qian was born too outrageous, beautiful and handsome like a plum with snow, a pair of star eyes with a melancholy color, but there is a natural romantic charm between Gu and Pan. The crimson uniform of Pingxi Camp was worn on the body, which made his waist thin and graceful.

Cui Qian is the current leader of Pingxi Camp, among the five commanders of the Five Guards of the Forbidden Army, the youngest one, the 21-year-old general of the third rank, is not unprecedented in the history of the Great Zhou, and is definitely rare.

Most of his achievements are due to his birth. Cui Qian's mother is the eldest princess of Xining, and Emperor Jingyao's only relative sister. So in terms of blood, Cui Qian is Qin Nuo's cousin.

His father is Cui Jing, the father of Ruiguo. The Cui family is also hereditary. It's just that the younger brother is a bit thinner compared to other celebrities of the same level, and has been passed on for several generations. Cui Jing himself was a well-known beautiful man in Beijing, with a literary talent. When the princess of Xining took a fancy first glance, she became a steward, and the couple had a good relationship. It is a pity that Cui Jing died due to some reasons when he was out of Nanchen. The princess Xining heard the bad news, and pity her at the time she was pregnant with Liujia, had a small birth and died on the spot. Before dying, entrust the emperor brother to take good care of his only son.

Emperor Jingyao always pityed this younger sister, and immediately took his four-year-old nephew into the palace and put him under the Queen’s knee to raise him.

So Cui Qian grew up in the palace, and he is no different from the prince.

He even said unceremoniously that the decent nephew before Emperor Jingyao, Cui Qian, was a hundred times stronger than the unfavorable prince Qin Nuo. Even Qin Xun can't be compared, maybe only the favored Qin Ze can barely compare.

He has been with Qin Cong since he was a child. The two were playmates in childhood, and read companions after enlightenment. Queen Mother Huo also loved this child who was raised by one hand.

With such a background, after he became an adult, he entered the army for experience, and soon went straight up. Emperor Jingyao loved him in every possible way and was promoted to the position of Pingxi Camp in a few years.

Even Emperor Jingyao was afraid that Cui Qian would not be able to use his skills in Pingxi Camp, and specifically assigned the authority to clear the waterways of the two ports in the east of Nanchen to Pingxi Camp.

Although the two ports are not the top places for trade and commerce, they are also located in transportation hubs. Just relying on the water checkpoint freight, Pingxi Camp is making money every day, and it is easy to get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every young person.

Therefore, while the colleagues of the Shence Camp were still relying on the opening of the arena to make extra money, the Pingxi Camp was already full of pours, and there was no need to worry about military equipment.

Although the background is hard and the promotion is fast, Cui Qian is too young after all, and the qualifications are a bit difficult to convince the public.

So it didn't take long for him to be in charge, so he invited himself to go north, hoping to gain exploits on the battlefield of Beishuo. However, the two empresses and empresses at the time refused unanimously. Beishuo's battlefield was too dangerous! In the past few years, many high-ranking generals in the DPRK have been there to sink into the sand.

And Cui Qian refused to give up his plan to go to the battlefield. After weighing the two phases, he finally went to Southern Defence General's Residence as a deputy.

Although Nanchen was generally calmed down, the remaining forces segregated several counties in the south. In addition, there were also some local forces with their homeland in mind to revolt from time to time, requiring soldiers and horses to suppress it. On the southern battlefield, Da Zhou's soldiers and horses have an absolute advantage, and there is no need to worry about his safety.

Now after several years of experience, he has accumulated enough military service to convince the public before returning to the capital.

"Cui Qian, commander of Pingxi Camp, see the emperor." Cui Qian knelt on one knee.

Suddenly remembering how the two met for the first time, Qin Nuo lost his senses for a moment, and then said: "Be flat, Cui Qing has worked hard these years."

Cui Qian stood up and smiled, as if feeling affectionate: "On the battlefield of Nanchen, but some tiny thieves, it is hard work. If one day confronts Beishuo Tieqi on the battlefield, he can show his true skills. ."

Cui Qian talked eloquently. He grew up in the palace and was never restrained in front of the emperor. Whether it was Emperor Jingyao or Qin Cong, it was the same in front of Qin Nuo.

Although he is not familiar with Qin Nuo, in memory, this stupid guy is just the most inconspicuous prince. Except for that accident, there was very little intersection between the two. But after that incident, he quickly left the court.

Qin Nuo smiled and said: "Cui Qing is still thinking about the northern border. I am afraid that the queen mother is reluctant to give up. If the emperor brother Quanxia knows, he will not agree to let you take the risk."

Speaking of Qin Cong and Queen Mother Huo, Cui Qian felt sad. Not long after he went to the southern battlefield, he heard about the change in the palace. He wanted to return to the capital immediately. However, at first, Queen Mother Huo thought it was not the time and ordered him An Xin/at ease plays in the South. After that, the situation in the capital became tense. Nanchen happened to rebel without death. He was trapped in a war and it was difficult to escape.

"I'm just about to ask about this. In the past few years, Nanchen local rebellions have been one after another. Why?" Qin Nuo asked sternly.

It has been more than ten years since the Great Zhou captured the capital of Nanchen and Jianye City. Pei Ling suppressed the place with iron-blooded thunder. The enlightenment and strength were combined, and the Quartet Jingping and Nanchen resistance forces were almost concentrated in the southernmost part. County, there is still under the control of the false emperor.

After Beishuo invaded south, Pei Ling went north. Yuwen Che, the lieutenant general of the DPRK, took the post of General Zhennan and continued to attack the remnants of Nanchen. In the beginning, the war was considered smooth. Nanchen's local power was continuously compressed. From the land of the six counties to the present, only two counties remained. Of course, Emperor Chen opened up the power of Wuli Kingdom in the rear. That was another matter.

But while good news on the battlefield were frequent, Nanchen’s original counties had begun to rebels incessantly in recent years. These places that have been under the control of the Great Zhou for more than ten years, logically speaking, should have been used to the new ruler.

Especially in these years, the imperial court has watched Nanchen’s small imperial court become weaker and weaker, and has consciously conquered Nanchen’s repression, so it has gradually curtailed its policy of forced repression, and provided various ways to appease the cliques in Nanchen. Scholars participated. But when the policy eased, the rebellion increased?

Southern Defence General's Residence is now stationed in Jianye City. Two hundred thousand elite soldiers are enough to sweep any forces, but they still can't suppress the momentum of rebellion. Even the inner city rebellion in Jianye broke out several times. It surprised Qin Nuo.

Da Zhou's suppression of the rebels was extremely harsh, with almost countless killings in every battle. From the memorial reported by the Southern Army every ten days, Qin Nuo frowned. Recently, because of the conquest of Nanchen, Qin Nuo turned over all the memorials over the years.

Although on the table, just briefly said how many figures to kill the rebellious and extremely dependents. But behind every number is full of bloody carnage.

He ordered the Ministry of War to count the Nanchen Zoubao in recent years. It can be said that the number of rebellions has increased, and the number of gains has also been increasing.

At first, he even suspected that Southern Defence General's Residence saw that the war was running out, thinking about gaining military merit, even killing good. However, at this time in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the identification of military merit was very strict. It is impossible for things like killing good and doing meritorious service to succeed once and then again by chance.
