Yan Xi turned to look at Song Beiming, Song Beiming responded with a comforting smile, but didn't ask him to stay.

Yan Xi had no choice but to walk out of the main tent reluctantly.

Han Linmo didn't speak out until Yan Xi was far away: "Meng Ze, this is the end of today's talk, I'm going to get to the bottom of it. Have you ever thought that if you just keep doing the big Han family army and the snow-walking army, we will set up the crown prince?"Where is it? If Chu Jun does not have his own soldiers and horses, he will be like willow catkins in the wind and duckweeds in the water, with nowhere to rely on. Wei Yu is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the soldiers and horses still bear other people's surnames. If one day the war breaks out,He's hit from the back."

Song Beiming was not surprised that Han Linmo brought up this matter, as early as when Han Linmo was transferred to the western region by Emperor Tianxi, Song Beiming had vaguely known about this arrangement.

He listened with a sinking face, without opening his mouth easily.

Han Linmo stared at Song Beiming, and then said: "Meng Ze, I plan to change the banner of the Han army, what do you think?"

Song Beiming asked lightly, "Brother, what banner do you want to change?"

"Let Wei Yu take the banner, and it's all up to him." Han Linmo didn't get a positive response, and was faintly displeased. He stared at Song Beiming and said, "There will be no Han army in the future."

Song Beiming lowered his eyes, avoiding Han Linmo's sight, he pursed his lips, but still didn't answer.

This disappointed Han Linmo, and also made it more difficult for him to say the next thing.

Han Linmo is not good at words, he started planning for today's words when he went to the western region, and when he opened his mouth, he was still very dry: "Mengze, I am your elder brother-in-law, I should take care of you. But I am the elder brother first.General Jing, Prince Shaobao, Master Wei Yu, and my surname is Han next. The Han family army bears the Han surname. After all these years of burning fire, it is time to choose another owner."

Song Beiming listened with lowered eyes, hidden under his eyelashes, so that Han Linmo couldn't see his attitude clearly.

And silence itself is an attitude, and Han Linmo's disappointment gradually increased.

Han Linmo looked at Song Beiming and said: "The Han army is like this, so why not the Snow-Treading Army?"

Song Beiming's thin lips were drawn into a line.

He was handsome, and he was a full-fledged slutty dandy when he smiled; once he turned cold, he was a cold hell king.

Seeing that Song Beiming still refused to answer, Han Linmo felt disappointed.

If it weren't for the seriousness of the matter, Han Linmo would have thrown his sleeves and left long ago. At this time, he suppressed himself, and his voice was a bit cold: "Meng Ze, the western region is in danger, and internal anxiety will definitely encourage foreign troubles. Since ancient times, he has made great achievements.The lord, disaster will come. The 30,000 snow troopers sent to the western region is an opportunity, why not take advantage of the situation, retreat bravely in the torrent, and protect yourself wisely? This move is also a statement to the court, and it can make Beiyuan's situation less embarrassing."

Song Beiming didn't seem surprised when he heard this, and his voice was still deep.

Han Linmo didn't get a response for a long time, he was really angry, and said: "Meng Ze, this matter is too big to be controlled by personal feelings. I don't ask how you treat Wei Yu, I just ask you, as the King of Da Jing, how do you treat the prince?"

"Brother, if this matter has nothing to do with personal relationships, we must not talk about it like this." Song Beiming finally raised his eyes, his eyes were like a thousand feet of cold pool, cold and quiet.

Before he opened his mouth, the cold light flashed slightly, and it seemed that there was an uproar about to break out. He no longer avoided Han Linmo's gaze, and suddenly said with an evil smile: "The imperial court must show full sincerity, and first send a first-rank imperial envoy to Beiyuan.Discuss a few times, and draw up a charter that both parties are satisfied with; after that, His Majesty will personally comfort the army, and everyone in Beiyuan will be promoted to rank.My elder sister and second elder brother must also have titles, and the Song family must also have iron certificates of alchemy, children and grandchildren who violate the law will not be punished, and all crimes will be forgiven, and they will be exempted from the death penalty."

Song Beiming let out a long breath, looked straight at Han Linmo and said, "We have to talk like this."

Han Linmo's face turned ashen when he heard it, but Song Beiming's words were true. If he wanted to deprive the military power without bloodshed, the imperial court had to give real money and the sincerity of generations of honor.

However, Han Linmo still felt offended.

He said in his words that he didn't talk about personal affairs, but he still cared about the personal relationship between Song Beiming and Yan Xi in his heart. Seeing that Song Beiming said it so business-like, he couldn't help but secretly scolded Song Beiming for being a wolf-hearted thing.

Han Linmo was angry and annoyed, feeling worthless for his apprentice.

He stood up abruptly, fisted with both hands, and his eyes were as big as copper bells. With his good temper, good voice and good breath, he had reached his limit, so he immediately reprimanded: "As a courtier, how can you only talk about self-interest?!"

"Self-interest? Is the Snow-Treading Army in Beiyuan just for self-interest?" Song Beiming retorted neither humble nor overbearing, "How many people died for Da Jing? How much money did Beiyuan spend? Has anyone counted it?Listen to Beiyuan's sacrifices over the years. Why do we have to cover our mouths when we have sacrificed? Beiyuan deserves the court's favor, is this wrong?"

Han Linmo was questioned until he had nothing to say.

But he didn't agree with being a courtier arguing with the court, which violated the rules of etiquette. Han Linmo was furious and shouted: "You are disregarding the etiquette of the emperor and ministers!"

A cold smile appeared on Song Beiming's lips and said: "Beiyuan has 200,000 soldiers and horses, which is the barrier to the north of Da Jing. In the past, there was a threat from Jiang Xijun, but now Jiang Xijun is gone, and Beiyuan's family is the only one.To take away Beiyuan's soldiers and horses with the flick of a finger? Even if it is only 30,000 soldiers from Beiyuan, it will not work. Every soldier in the Snow-Treading Army is the foundation of Beiyuan's life."

Han Linmo was furious, pointing at Song Beiming and cursing: "How dare you speak such wild words! You think that Beiyuan is your private land? The Snow-Treading Army is your private army? In the whole world, is it the land of the emperor?Excuse me, could you be a royal minister, how dare you compete with the imperial court to such an extent?"

"But did the imperial court regard Beiyuan as the imperial land?" Song Beiming raised his head, arguing rationally, "The annual military rations of the Snow-Treading Army are 1.4 million shi, because Beiyuan is a feudal land, unlike the guards in various places.There are government supplies, all of which are raised by Beiyuan himself. The 200,000 soldiers on the snow treading army pay four million taels of silver a year, while the imperial court only pays 500,000 taels a year, and Beiyuan earns all the vacant silver.When it comes to money, who regards the Snow-Treading Army as soldiers of the imperial court?"

"Song Beiming——" Han Linmo looked down at him, and asked in a low voice, "Are the monarch, minister, father and son worthless to you?"

"Father and son?" Song Beiming stood up with a sneer, looked straight at Han Linmo and said, "The Song family has lost their parents for the sake of the court. Now the court wants to tell me about the father and son?"

Madness rose in Song Beiming's eyes. Once he thought of the defeat, his anger would drive him to lose his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Five years ago, because of power strife and some people's traitorous pursuit of glory, the Snow-Treading ArmyIn the defense of Yunhu, 50,000 people died! My comrades and my parents failed to come back. That battle should not have been lost. What did Beiyuan do wrong to bleed for the court? 50,000 peopleBlood is a thorn, deeply pierced in the heart of the Snow-Treading Army. Those who survived will never be able to let go. From that day on, Beiyuan only believed in himself. The Snow-Treading Army learned the lesson of that defeat,Self-sufficiency has been achieved, and finally no need to rely on the imperial court."

"Presumptuous! Shut up!" Han Linmo clenched his hands into fists and warned, "Speaking such words is disrespectful, immoral, and disrespectful!"

"It's the imperial court that doesn't care about the life and death of the Snow-Treading Army!" Song Beiming retorted confidently, "What did the imperial court give to the Snow-Treading Army? Because some people have ulterior motives, fearing that my father's reputation will become too famous, they have been obstructing the construction of the Shrine of the Snow-Treading Army.Today there are few nanmu trees, and tomorrow there is no money, and they procrastinate and refuse to let the incense of the Hall of Martyrs be lit. The imperial court can’t even give the Hall of Valor to Beiyuan, but it wants 200,000 soldiers of the Snow Walking Army to sacrifice their lives. Is there such a reason??!"

Han Linmo was forced to the verge of making a move. With his overpowering power as a coach for many years, he stared at Song Beiming and said, "Song Beiming, I think it's you who has ulterior motives now!"

"Even if I had ulterior motives, I was forced by the court." Song Beiming also walked out of the sea of blood and corpses. He also served as a commander and is familiar with the methods of governing people. He didn't have any shortness of breath when facing a well-known general like Han Linmo., Turning his gaze back, he said, "Brother, do you know that there are people with ulterior motives in the court? If there are only a small number of people, it's fine. After years of pondering, I finally know that it is the entire court!Even the Hall of Martyrs in Beiyuan cannot be tolerated. What are they afraid of?"

Han Linmo was questioned.

He also thought about this question.

The merits of the old prince and concubine Song are obvious to all, and the military righteousness of the Snow-Treading Army is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it is shameful that the Hall of Martyrs containing fifty thousand heroes cannot be built.

Although Han Linmo was quick-tempered, he was a reasonable person. He opened his mouth immediately, but couldn't help those people argue, so he stomped his feet angrily, trying to teach Song Beiming a lesson.

Song Beiming straightened his chest and said to Han Linmo, "They are afraid that the army of treading snow will overwhelm the Lord! Every one of them owes the army of treading snow. Their hearts are dirty, and no one dares to face it! Think of me as a dignified BeiyuanThe king of the county can support the Snow-Treading Army, but he can't build the Hall of Martyrs! It's not only the heart of Song Beiming, but also the heart of the whole Beiyuan that makes the court cold."

This is the meaning of "disobedience".

"Bastard!" Han Linmo never expected that Song Beiming would dare to say such rebellious words. He was so angry that he took the thin wooden stick on the sand table and slammed it at Song Beiming.You bastard who lost his head! Since I am your big brother, I will wake you up today!"

Han Linmo's skill was excellent and his strength was great, and when he pulled it down, he broke the wooden stick, and a blood mark immediately appeared on Song Beiming's body.

Han Linmo threw away his stick and whipped him again.

Song Beiming stood upright, let Han Linmo beat him, and refused to let go, saying plausibly: "So, if the elder brother represents the imperial court today and wants to talk to me on business, then I'm really sorry, Beiyuan has nothing to talk about."

Song Beiming was beaten so hard that he still refused to back down: "In the current situation, the treasury is empty and the army is insufficient. These two things will restrict the court to death. No one dares to stand up and really want to take over Beiyuan's military power.This point must be understood by the imperial court. In my opinion, if we really want to talk to Beiyuan, the first thing to do is to find out the truth about the defeat of the Yunhu army five years ago and the misfire of the Shenji cannon;According to people, the third imperial court will provide enough food and pay for the snow treading army in the future, and give preferential treatment to the family members of the snow treading army who died in battle. Only after these three things are done, Beiyuan will be willing to negotiate with the imperial court, and the preferential treatment will be the same in the futurecan not be less!"

"I just said a few words, you want so much from me!" Han Linmo gritted his teeth in anger as he moved his hands, "Look for yourself, these three conditions of yours are either to force the court or exceed the limit, which one?Can report to the imperial court!"

Song Beiming was beaten next to each other without showing any weakness: "These words are well known to all parties. They have avoided all the sacrifices of Beiyuan in the past few years, and they want to humiliate me and support me in Jingdu, which is enough to show their contradictions.and cowardice."

"Song Beiming, shut up!" Han Linmo could understand Beiyuan's grievance, but he couldn't understand Song Beiming's arrogance, and angrily said, "The Han army can take the initiative to hand over 30,000 people, why is it so difficult to get to you?"

"How many people are there in the Han army!" Song Beiming disapproved, "The Han army has not left the border for many years, and it is incomparable with the snow troopers who are begging for life on the tip of their swords every day. Big brother uses the Han army to talk about the snow army, and thenIt is suspected of exaggerating."

"You can do it—" Han Linmo saw that Song Beiming's body was beaten to pieces, and he had already stopped, but this ignorant Song Beiming not only refused to shut up, but also became more and more stupid, and now he is riding on his face to show off his might, Han Linmo was very angry and said, "Song Beiming, you are a prince whose heart is higher than the sky. You look down on the Han army, right? Kneel down!"

Song Beiming knelt down neatly.

He blocked Han Linmo's whip that was thrown down towards his face with his hand, and thought carefully, don't be disfigured by the beating, and Yan Xi detested him when he turned around.Then he poked his neck and said persistently: "So this matter cannot be discussed in an official manner! Otherwise, every soldier in Beiyuan will be stabbed in the heart! From the day when 50,000 soldiers were buried in Yunhu Lake, the Snow-Treading Army resentedIt has been deeply rooted, and I will not trust the imperial court easily."

"You can't talk, so get out!" Han Linmo regretted the whip just now, he didn't slap people in the face, and he didn't want to really embarrass Song Beiming.whip.

Han Linmo withdrew his whip, but his heart was still churning with anger. He pointed the whip at the tent door and shouted: "Go out from here, and I didn't say what you said today, and life and death will be irrelevant in the future. Your Song family is powerful, and our Han familyThere is no need to move up!"

Unexpectedly, Song Beiming knelt forward and grabbed the corner of Han Linmo's robe, not only refused to leave, but also shamelessly shouted: "Master!"

Han Linmo didn't react for a while, the hand holding the whip was trembling with anger, and he raised his hand to hit again.

Song Beiming was beaten so that his clothes were torn and his blood spots were everywhere. Fortunately, he was in good health, so he still said loudly: "Master! So this matter can only be discussed privately.I have 30,000 soldiers, no loan period, no mention of how to use them, just a hint."

"Don't call me Master!" Only then did Han Linmo realize that Song Beiming had been involved. All the analysis and resentment in front of Song Beiming were just digging holes for him, to let him know that there was no other way to go.

Then lead him to the only remaining path, forcing him to admit the relationship between Song Beiming and Yan Xi!

Han Linmo had never seen such a cunning and shameless person. He was furious and scolded: "Song Beiming, you are waiting for me here! I want you 30,000 soldiers, so you have to pull me away!"Go into the water?!"

"Master doesn't decide for me, who will decide for me?!" Song Beiming tightened the hem of Han Linmo's robe, "Not only will I call you Master now, but when I return to Jingdu, I will also call Teacher Shang Baiheng and Mrs. Pei HongFu, call Your Majesty Father!"

"You are presumptuous!" Han Linmo's anger was about to blow off the tent, "You are not afraid that these people will beat you to death! You are disregarding ordinary human relations and etiquette! It is also the foundation and foundation of the prince's future.regardless of!"

"Master, don't make a big deal out of it. In the final analysis, this matter is only about me and Wei Yu." Song Beiming cleverly turned the topic back to the scope of his own control, "I am the king of Beiyuan, and I was supposed to lead troops in Beiyuan, but I ran to the westI have worked so hard to recruit and train soldiers, and none of this would have happened without the light rain."

"You have hatred for the imperial court now, but don't forget—" Han Linmo stared at him and said, "The imperial court finally released you from the capital and did not continue to embarrass you."

"So what?" Song Beiming said generously, "Even if the court refuses to let me go, how long do you think I can be trapped?"

"What's the matter, do you really dare to think about that!" Han Linmo hated that he was not Song Beiming's elder brother, otherwise he would beat Song Beiming to death today, he shouted violently, "Do you really want to...If you make a mistake, you will not succeed!"

The word rebellion cannot be said easily. Han Linmo swallowed the word through gritted teeth, tightened his whip, and stared at Song Beiming viciously.

Song Beiming didn't flinch, he knelt straight, and continued: "Besides, I don't think it was the imperial court who let me go. I didn't have an official document from the imperial court when I left Beijing, and no official gave me a memorial. It was Wei Yu who took the risk to send me out overnight.Jing, I only recognize Wei Yu."

When talking about Yan Xi, Song Beiming's voice gradually moved: "It was also Wei Yu who gave me the golden nanmu, and it was Wei Yu who secretly cleared up the relationship. Wei Yu put a lot of effort behind it, so that the Hall of Martyrs finally opened on the sacred mountain in Jingdu.The incense was lit. My father, mother and concubine, and the 50,000 spirits of the Snow-Treading Army are worthy to enjoy the imperial tomb. Master has been an official in the court for many years, and he must be well aware of the warmth and coldness of the officialdom.Will they come forward to make decisions? The officials of the imperial court are pampered and do not engage in war. They don't know the sufferings of the world and the difficulties of the border. Except for the light rain, who else cares about the life and death of the border?"

Hearing this, the whip that Han Linmo was holding could no longer fall.

Song Beiming said earnestly: "Wei Yu is more sober than anyone else, and also softer than anyone else."

It's not that Han Linmo doesn't know how to break his sleeves, nor is he stubborn, but Yan Xi is the crown prince, and as the crown prince Shaobao, he wants to think further for Yanxi.

If he agrees to Song Beiming now, and becomes a lobbyist for Song Beiming in the future, how can he speak up?Even if he really said it out of shame like Song Beiming, Shang Baiheng, Pei Hong and Emperor Tianxi, which one would nod?

Han Linmo was forced into an embarrassing situation by Song Beiming, unable to speak a single word.

"Wei Yu and I have no suspicions." Song Beiming propped his knees and knelt upright, "He let me leave Beijing, and I will follow him into the Western Region. We didn't make any promises, but everything we did was true.A pledge of eternal love. He needs a guard of the Eastern Palace now, and I, Song Beiming, will be his coach!"
