"Yeah." Song Beiming responded with a buzzing voice, he retracted all the poisonous stings in front of Yan Xi, Yan Xi's warm fingers pressed him comfortably, the pain on his body was nothing at once, he felt the frivolous fingertipsGently brushed across his skin, and pulled away with a gesture of reluctance.

Song Beiming's hand clenched under his sleeve formed a fist, and he resisted the urge to grab that finger with great difficulty, and said obediently, "I was the one who uttered wild words and offended Master."

Yan Xi glanced at Song Beiming from the corner of his eyes affectionately, and said angrily, "This is not allowed in the future, Master is an elder, you must be respectful and humble."

"Understood." Song Beiming took a quick look at Han Linmo, which was definitely a demonstration in Han Linmo's eyes.Song Beiming happily promised, "I will never make Master angry in the future."

"Good boy." Yan Xi's slender, snow-white fingers waved past Song Beiming's eyes, walked up to Han Linmo, bent down and saluted, "Master."

Yan Xi not only did not correct Song Beiming to call him Master Han Linmo, but also admitted Song Beiming's name in words.

Before Han Linmo had a mouthful of old blood blocked by Song Beiming in his throat, now Yan Xi fed him another mouthful of blood.

But Han Linmo couldn't shake Yan Xi's face, so he could only say in a muffled voice, "Sit down first."

Yan Xi didn't sit down, but squatted down halfway, looked at Han Linmo and said, "Master, Ah Ming has a bad temper, don't be on the same level as him, I apologize to you on his behalf."

Apologize for Ah Ming?

Are these two people so shameless and impatient that they can no longer distinguish between you and me?

Han Linmo raised his head abruptly, and looked at Yan Xi questioningly.

Yan Xi didn't flicker, he met Han Linmo's gaze, and said firmly: "Ah Ming is not wrong, you just teach him a lesson, if beating him is not enough, you beat me together until you calm down."

Han Linmo was so blocked that he was about to cross his feet, and he wanted to look up to the sky and sigh. He still had the idea that "Yanxi and Song Beiming are together, at most, they are acting on the spur of the moment, and the dewy marriage is over, and in the end they are going to get married and have children."Seeing the tranquility in Yan Xi's eyes at this moment, he realized that Yan Xi had the same idea as Song Beiming!

Underneath Yan Xi's gentle and calm surface was the same madness as Song Beiming.

These two lunatics!

The Yan Xi in Han Linmo's impression was a ruthless, lustless, clean and innocent young man. It was really hard for him to accept that his little apprentice had been completely touched by others.

He heard Yan Xi's voice was pure and clear, like a young man ignorant of the world.But such a voice, but speaking of pleading for a man, Han Linmo felt a strong melancholy of "I can't help my mother, daughters and dead fish are no keeping wares".

If this disciple was an ordinary person, he would have whipped him until he regained consciousness, but the disciple was so valuable that he couldn't beat him or scold him.

All aggrieved can only knock down teeth and swallow blood, Han Linmo felt uncomfortable, and turned his head away from Yan Xi.

Yan Xi knelt down, which made his eyesight lower than that of Han Linmo, he raised his head, his crooked eyes sparkled, and said obediently: "Master, Ah Ming is my disciple's companion, and also your disciple., take care of me."

Han Linmo was defeated, he couldn't figure out why Emperor Tianxi preferred this youngest son to such an extent.

But at this moment, he seemed to understand a little in front of these eyes.These eyes are so clear and so affectionate, Yan Xi looks at people like this and speaks, as if cutting open his heart for you to see.

Han Linmo couldn't refuse his little apprentice, he said bitterly, "Wei Yu, think of a name."

Yan Xi didn't understand the nonsense words for a while, Yan Xi asked in puzzlement: "What?"

Song Beiming understood the inside story and immediately knew that Han Linmo had agreed.

He was happy in his heart, and he had to take into account Han Linmo's feelings on the face, so he couldn't get too complacent, and said solemnly: "Wei Yu, the new army wants to raise a new banner. It's not called the Han Family Army, the Snow Walking Army, or theThe Western Region Guard Army, this army does not belong to the Western Region, it is an Eastern Palace Guard Army, and it only belongs to you."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, feeling overwhelmed, and said in a slightly lowered voice, "Wei Yu, since the day it established its army, you are like your arms and fingers."

This is a big deal, it is equivalent to the prince supporting the army, since then the prince has his own sword, no one dares to dictate to the East Palace at will, both Jingdu and Emperor Tianxi have to re-evaluate the prince's weight.

Yan Xi will be more free, without having to be good at calculating to achieve a balance, where to point and hit, to break the balance that hinders him.

Yan Xi who was kneeling on the ground was stunned.

Yan Xi's gaze was on Han Linmo, so he saw the gradually warming light in Han Linmo's eyes, saw Han Linmo's relieved smile as if he was relieved, and even saw Han Linmo lift his arms.She raised her hand, wanting to stroke the top of his hair.

This kind of action is very common among ordinary masters and apprentices, but it is too intimate between them.The emotional communication between their master and apprentice has always been very distant and indifferent. Han Linmo believes in the sticks to produce high-level apprentices. During the five years of learning martial arts, the closest contact between the master and apprentice is fighting and Yan Xi being punished and beaten.

Yan Xi thought: But such a strict and impersonal master gave me the property of the 30,000 Han army, and even took care of the matter of the 30,000 snow troopers for me.

Yan Xi lowered his head slowly, and lightly knocked his forehead on Han Linmo's knee. He had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he felt that he had no virtue and ability, and on the other hand, he felt that he had nothing to repay.

At the same time, Yan Xi also felt Song Beiming's eager gaze on him, and Yan Xi closed his eyes forcefully.

He came to the book deeply ashamed for the first time.

He had been avoiding this emotion before, as if he was detached.

Mrs. Pei's secret help for many years, Shang Baiheng's teaching to him regardless of repayment, Zhou Ci's many years of medical treatment, Wen Lan's trust in him, the protection of those unnamed lamp holders, Yan Xu, andColleagues and partners, there are many others, and Song Beiming...

Song Beiming.

Yan Xi owed a lot of love.

He couldn't pretend he couldn't see or care any more.

The evening wind poured into the tent, bringing the smell of Song Beiming by the door, and the dry smell comforted Yan Xi's turbulent emotions.

Yan Xi tried hard to suppress himself from crying. He pressed his forehead to hide the tears that slid down his cheeks, and the snow-white and fragile back of his neck struggled to support the wailing in his heart.

He is one person, with two identities, countless emotions, he is so broken, any heavier collision will shatter him.

He thought: I am a bad person.

He scolded himself: I am a heart-eating goblin, hiding my cruel heart under a beautiful skin.

I enjoy everyone's love, but I keep counting on the day when I will leave everyone behind.

throw it all away.

The 30,000 Han Family Army and the 30,000 Snow-Treading Army became the first heavy straw that crushed Yan Xi's mental support.

Yan Xi cried very sadly in her heart: I am really too bad.

But when he raised his head, his eyes were clear and innocent again, and he forced himself to stop crying before the redness in the corners of his eyes faded away.

He is extremely cruel to himself, he does not allow himself to expose this fragility and brokenness, his heartstrings are so tense that his heart hurts, but he still stubbornly turns back into that clean His Royal Highness, putting on a skin of ignorance and inhumanity, justIt is possible not to be responsible for those heavy feelings.

Yan Xi's acting skills were so exquisite that even the trembling of his body was hidden. His gaze shifted from Han Linmo to Song Beiming, perfectly presenting the process from shock to confusion that normal people should have. He asked: "Master,Meng Ze, you have settled now?"

Han Linmo helped Yan Xi get up, and replied: "It's settled. The Han army, the snow troopers and the recruited new army will be organized into the Eastern Palace Guard Palace. The original guard army in the Western Region will not change the banner for the time being, but they will all obey orders."It’s for you. You set up a beautiful banner like the Snow Walking Army, and you will change the military banner together.”

Yan Xi said softly: "Is this what you guys are arguing about? If it's difficult, actually..."

Han Linmo didn't let Yan Xi continue, and interrupted Yan Xi with a little annoyance, "I didn't quarrel with Meng Ze, so don't think too much, just think of a name."

Song Beiming kept looking at Yan Xi. He seemed to feel that Yan Xi was very sad at a certain moment, but the feeling was fleeting. When he was going to find out, he saw Yan Xi raised his head and everything was as usual. Song Beiming felt a little relieved, but the feeling at that momentDistressed but lingering.

It hurts.

Song Beiming adjusted his breath slightly, calming down the inexplicable pain, and then said: "Wei Yu, Master and I are on good terms, there is no quarrel, you just need to name it."

Yan Xi rolled his eyes, and showed that lover's resentment to Song Beiming again, and asked, "Do Han Taibao, Taifu Pei, and Teacher Shang all know about this?"

Han Linmo said in a solemn voice: "Before I left Beijing, they called me to talk about it. This is the unanimous opinion of the officials of the Eastern Palace and the guests of the Eastern Palace. Your Highness, in this position, you must be safe in everything."

This is no longer a matter of Yan Xi alone. The safety and power of the Eastern Palace involves the most sensitive will of the entire Eastern Palace faction.

Yan Xi suddenly remembered that Shang Baiheng had said "to jump off the chessboard" when he first entered the official position, "If we want to win thousands of miles, we must play the pattern".

Now Yan Xi has jumped out of Jingdu's chessboard, and has the strength to decisively win Jingdu's political situation thousands of miles away.

pattern.

Shang Baiheng's strategizing is creepy.

Yan Xi was slightly shocked by this strategy of counting hundreds of steps in one step.

He was silent, his thoughts were fast, there was a great uproar in his mind, and it quickly returned to calm, his eyes gradually became cold, he knew the pros and cons of this matter, so he didn't hesitate anymore, and said: "At the beginning of ZhehuOpen, a sound of thunder calls the Canglong up. "Historical Records" says that "there is Canglong Que in the east of Weiyang Palace", and the Canglong dominates the East Palace, so it is called the Canglong Army."

Canglong Army.

Han Linmo clapped his hands and got up and said: "Very good! This name is majestic and powerful. The sun rises in the east, and the green dragon rises to the world. It's a good idea! It's called Canglong Army. The totem of the military flag also uses the green dragon. I will give it to Shang Baiheng.Write a letter, he is good at painting and calligraphy, please invite him to draw the blue dragon!"

At the beginning of the opening of the scorpion door, a thunder called the dragon to rise——Song Beiming pondered, and felt that there was something subtle, and these words flashed through his mind quickly:

Waking of Insects.

light rain.

East Palace.

Canglong.

Song Beiming froze, slowly raised his head, and looked at Yan Xi thoughtfully.

Jingdu.

Palace of Heavenly Purity, upper study.

Emperor Tianxi summoned the members of the Inner Pavilion to discuss matters.

There are currently five people in the cabinet, first assistant Zhongjidian University scholar Mei Ren, second assistant Jianjidian University scholar Shang Baiheng, Wenhuadian University scholar and Minister of Industry Pei Qingshi, Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar and Minister of Rites Sun Chang, Wu YingZhou Yu, a bachelor of Dian University and Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

Emperor Tianxi sat behind the imperial case, and Ying Zhu replaced him with new tea. Emperor Tianxi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The sound of closing the cup broke the dullness of going to the study.

Shang Baiheng's white hair shone frosty white under the light coming from the window, and he spoke slowly in this deadly silence: "The evidence of military households escaping from the western region has been conclusively proven, and the evidence sent by Governor XuanI have also asked the Secretary to re-examine them. The Ministry of Punishment has pursued and captured a group of people, and the Ministry of Officials has also started to clear a group of people in the Six Departments. Right now, the Six Departments are cleaning up in exchange for cleanliness. The shortage of manpower is the top priority at the moment. But the Western Territory is more difficult than the Six Departments. The minister advocates, we still need to select a group of people to go to the western border."

Emperor Tianxi put the teacup on the table, which made the academicians hang their heads in shock.

Pei Qingshi sat next to Shang Baiheng, he clenched his fists, raised his head from the silence, and said: "People with official positions are not easy to move, they can be selected from the list of candidates, and there are many students from the Imperial College, many of themWith fame and fame, you can also ask Guozijian to offer wine to help the staff choose candidates."

Sun Chang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is in charge of education, and he doesn't want students to interrupt their studies. He is the oldest in the Inner Pavilion, although he is ranked at the bottom, he does his part when he speaks: "Guozijian is for the imperial court to cultivate talents. If the students in it are more active,In the end, the civil servants will be hurt. If you go to the Imperial Academy to select candidates, you can’t use orders to suppress them. You can only transfer the order to seek talents in the western region. If there are students who are willing to go spontaneously, just don’t stop them.”

Shang Baiheng and Pei Qingshi heard that Sun Chang's first half of the sentence meant objection, but after hearing the final taste, Sun Chang actually didn't stop Western Region from employing people.

Both Shang Baiheng and Pei Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yu was originally Minister of the Ministry of War, but in order to give the position of Minister of the Ministry of War to Yan Xiteng, who was promoted to Governor, he was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment. Thanks to this transfer, he was promoted to the Inner Pavilion with compensation.He has the lowest qualifications in the Inner Pavilion, and he always agrees with what everyone says. Therefore, when Emperor Tianxi looked at him, he wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "The minister seconded the proposal, the minister seconded the proposal."

The old god Mei Ren said lastly on the ground: "Your Majesty, I see that there is no objection to this matter, do you think it's settled?"

Emperor Tianxi withdrew his gaze and looked at the tea.

Ying Zhu leaned forward, leaned into her ear and asked, "My lord, is it still possible to take advantage of the new tea?"

Emperor Tianxi turned his head and saw that Ying Zhu deliberately treated her indifferently today, and he became more and more like Tang Yaoxue. Under Yingzhu's expectant gaze, he picked up the tea again and took a big sip.

Emperor Tianxi's gaze was cold and hard, and he flinched at Ying Zhu.

Ying Zhu saw that the tea was half gone, and knew in her heart that Emperor Tianxi had already made up her mind, and she knew that Shang Baiheng's plan today would probably come true, so he calmly went to pick up the cup, and then poured more tea into it.

The patter of tea, quiet and crisp, rang in the hearts of the great scholars.

Emperor Tianxi withdrew his gaze from Ying Zhu's finger, looked at Shang Baiheng, and said with difficulty, "Then follow Shang Cifu's suggestion."

The atmosphere in the study room relaxed slightly, but Shang Baiheng's underwear was wet with cold sweat.

Emperor Tianxi sat under the specially added lamps on both sides of the throne to look even more majestic. He closed the memorial just discussed and said: "Jiangxi's army is in name only, and there are no soldiers in the west.We all know that we must fill the western region to survive this winter, no matter how difficult it is for the court right now, we have to deal with the western region first.”

Hearing this, everyone thought that the discussion just now was over, but Emperor Tianxi suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Now that Niangziguan is opened, Beiyuan and Western Region are connected together, and 30,000 snow troopers are going south to Western Region, what do you think?"?”

Although this question was directed at everyone, Shang Baiheng was the first to bear the brunt.The adults quietly glanced at Shang Baiheng, and they all broke into a cold sweat for Shang Baiheng.
