There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 224 Restoration of the Regiment Battalion.

Wantong unreservedly reported this result to Emperor Xianzong.

"It's their family?" Emperor Xianzong was obviously surprised: "What good will it do for them after recovery?"

Wantong thought for a while: "Probably the current empress and empress punished Concubine Bai with you...so they think it's better when Empress Wu is here?"

This is pure nonsense!

When Empress Wu Fei was around, she also took care of Concubine Bai.

It is said that after the abolished empress, Concubine Bai would often mock the abolished empress, but in the end, Empress Dowager Qian couldn't stand it any longer, and made people seal her cold palace, so that the abolished empress would not be able to live without rest.

"Insanely stupid." Emperor Xianzong became angry with embarrassment: "Concubine Bai looks beautiful, but she has a father who makes trouble."

He couldn't see Bo Zhen jumping up and down at the beginning, and the talented Empress Wu, who knew that she hurt her beloved Zhen'er, was really unforgivable.

But Concubine Bai was not much better.

Now punishing her to think behind closed doors is to see if she can figure it out, if she can't figure it out, then there is no need to like her any more.

Among the harem, only Zhen'er was irreplaceable, and Emperor Xianzong didn't care much about the other women.

Wantong bowed his head and remained silent. It was better not to say anything about the concubines in the harem.

Emperor Xianzong was satisfied with Wantong's prudence, but he also had some helplessness. He really regarded the Wan family as his own, because they were blood related to Zhen'er, and blood was thicker than water.

Moreover, the Wan family really cares about Zhen'er. Since the three men of the Wan family have the ability, they can send some things to Zhen'er every month, but the three men of the Wan family are very measured and never greedy.

They will take what should be collected, but they don't touch anything that shouldn't be taken. At first, he thought that the Wan family was too careful. Didn't Wu Jun jump up and down before he became a queen?Since Bai Xiang'er entered the palace, Bai Zhen of the Bai family has been tossing and turning upside down all day long.

He even doted on Zhen'er on the bright side, giving confidence to the Wan family.

But the Wan family was still the same. He didn't understand, so he asked Zhen'er secretly, but Zhen'er said: "This Daming belongs to the emperor, the emperor said, they can do it, but they will never give it to the emperor. To slander, Zhener is a maid who came up from the palace, and finally became a concubine thanks to the emperor's perseverance, how could she be domineering? Even Zhener can't do that in the palace, let alone outside."

He understood what Zhen'er meant, the huge age difference between the two of them, and Zhen'er's unrecognizable status made Emperor Xianzong feel sorry and unconvinced.

So he gave Wan Zhen'er the highest honor and favor, it doesn't matter if he is not born, let alone Wan Zhen'er was born innocent, so what if he is a court lady?

Wei Zifu, the daughter-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is still a singer!

The family background is lower than that of Zhen'er, the singer is from a humble family, and the maid is from a decent and good family.

Emperor Xianzong thought a lot, and took Wantong to Zhaode Palace to visit Concubine Wan and the Princess that day.

Now is the time for the princess to have fun, the little doll pretends to be an adult, but acts like a baby with her father.Seeing Wantong, she even called out delicately: "Little uncle!"

"En." Wantong nodded, thought for a while, and took out a nine-linked jade ring from his pocket, one of the annual gifts Wu Youwei gave him, where did he get a child before he got married?Wantong had already thought about who it would be for: "Give it to the princess.

"Thank you, little uncle!" Although the eldest princess was the eldest, she just took over and started playing when she was curious about everything.

"This thing...is a good jade!" Emperor Xianzong looked at the jade-made nine rings: "The workmanship is also good."

"When I was in Moling Mountain Villa, the master jade craftsman of Wu Ju's family made four sets, two sets were given to the two children of the second room, one set was given to his son, and the other set was given to the minister because he looked good. Here we come." Wantong doesn't take the credit: "I think the princess might like it."

This set of nine chains made of jade is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, which is very suitable for children to play with.

"Is this suet jade?" Wan Zhen'er touched her daughter's toy.

"It's mutton fat jade." Wu Youwei has a lot of mutton fat jade, and he will sell some.

"Is this kind of jade for children to play with?" Emperor Xianzong also came over to look at his daughter's small toys.

"It is said that it was sent by his god dragons, masters who have seen the head and tail, and I have never seen it." Wan Tong lowered his head and said: "It is a good thing after all, just right for the eldest princess."

good stuff?

Wan Zhen'er looked down at the jade nine-link ring that her daughter was playing with great interest.

As soon as March is over, it will be April, because the solar eclipse storm in February has just passed, and things will start again.

In summer and April, there were repeated earthquakes in Sichuan, from June to October last year.

It was not until this year that it stabilized, but the harvest in Sichuan was poor, and Emperor Xianzong ordered tax exemption.

However, tax exemption was not enough. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emperor Xianzong made another move.

Otomi, recorded prisoner.

The turn of the earth dragon was a very serious matter in ancient times. Earthquakes have always been one of the biggest blows to farmers. This is more serious than drought. At least drought is just nothing to eat, but earthquakes are more likely to fail. Housing and personal safety.Some people also said that the emperor's virtue was not good enough, so Emperor Xianzong took this opportunity and ordered the imprisonment, just to see if there were any unjust, false or wrong cases.Although a drop in the bucket, but better than nothing.

From the beginning of this year, the emperor has no longer concealed his actions of seizing power, which can be said to be aboveboard.

Even Wu Youwei's filial piety at home heard the rumors, many veterans objected, and even violated it. After entering the palace, Wan Tong didn't know what he said to the emperor...

Kuichou, re-establish the regiment camp.

Restoring the regiment camp!

Xianzong's sudden emphasis on the military equipment of the capital shocked everyone, especially the civil servants. When the regiment camp was first set up, the civil officials disagreed, and the [-]th regiment battalion is the elite of the elite soldiers, and it is also the heart of Xianzong. My dear, both the internal and external officials in charge of the Twelfth Battalion are appointed by the most trusted people of Xianzong during the most trusted period, and they are all people who can rely on their lives.

When Xianzong first came to the throne, he entrusted the twelve battalions, that is, the protection of his own property, to two people.

One is Sun Jizong, Marquis of Huichang, the elder brother of Empress Xuanzongsun. According to his seniority, Emperor Xianzong would call him uncle.

Sun Jizong was cautious and had no other superpowers. His relatives in the Ming Dynasty did not interfere in political affairs, and it was not until Sun Jizong that he began to take charge of military power.

Because Sun Jizong loved power and retained his position in his later years, he was quite discussed by officials. However, Xianzong's courtesy to Sun's family members was not bad, and he finally died with wealth. Chenghua passed away in 15 years, and he was posthumously named Duke of Tan.

Of course, this is something that will happen in the future, but the first disbandment of the regiment camp was indeed due to some problems with Sun Jizong. The civil official group used this as an excuse to force Emperor Xianzong to disband the regiment camp.

Another person entrusted by Xianzong is Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Liu Yongcheng was an eunuch who had to be reused in Chengzu Yongle. He used to be a partial general and followed Chengzu Zhu Di many times in the northern expedition.

During the Xuande and Zhengtong years, he led the army to conquer Wuliangha. Later, the supervising army guarded Gan and Liang, fought in the desert, and made great military exploits.

After the Tumu Fort change, Liu Yongcheng's nephew Liu Ju followed Yu Qian in charge of the defense of the capital. He was a real general, although he was the heir of an eunuch, but he was very brave. He made contributions in the defense of the capital.After the restoration of Yingzong, Liu Yongcheng led his troops back to Yingzong, and was trusted by Yingzong. Liu Ju was concealed and worshiped as the governor.

In the early years of Chenghua, Liu Yongcheng was in charge of the Beijing army as the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, while his nephew Liu Ju was a partial general and looked after the [-]th Regiment Battalion for the emperor.

Before the promotion of grain seeds, Emperor Xianzong once again gathered force in his hands and ordered 12 first-class elite soldiers to be selected from the five armies, three thousand, and Shenji battalions of the capital's armed forces, and divided into twelve battalions for drills, that is, "twelve regiments" "Battalion", and personally set the twelve battalion names of Fenwu, Yaowu, Lianwu, Xianwu, Dare, Guoyong, Guyong, Xiaoyong, Liwei, Extending Wei, Yangwei, Zhenwei.

Liu Ju is not only good at fighting, he is Liu Yongcheng's pride, he is also a filial son.

In the first year of Chenghua, it was played since Uncle Chen Liu Yongcheng was old and willing to resign from his official position to devote himself to taking care of him. So Emperor Xianzong ordered Liu Ju to take his salary to serve his uncle only when needed. .

But now Liu Ju has been appointed as the right governor of the post-military governor's mansion, and it is reported that his uncle Liu Yongcheng is now the governor of the capital, and he should be dismissed to avoid it.

Emperor Xianzong looked at it and said: "Since Liu Ju has confessed himself, he is allowed to avoid it.

However, Liu Ju's position as a general in the [-]th Regiment Battalion was not removed.

This is the trust in the Liu family and his son, and it also lets people know that the [-]th Regiment Battalion is still the emperor's absolute force.

Even though Wu Youwei stayed behind closed doors at home, the groups of people passing by at the foot of the mountain made the entire villa tremble.

Especially Shang Ming next door, he has the least seniority and seniority. Although he is favored by the emperor, he can't even look at him in front of the veteran Liu Yongcheng!

Therefore, the group camps that came and went were warmly welcomed by Eunuch Shang and warmly received. They ate big meat, big white steamed buns, and thick boiled egg soup.

If you are full and have enough, when you leave, each person will share a catty of beef jerky and ten catties of fried millet. This is called marching rice. The fried millet can be eaten dry. Hot tea will fill you up.

In the end, the hard work was paid to the sergeants, not much, and each person was given a string of copper coins, a string of twelve, indicating that it was for the "Twelve Regiment Battalion".

There is not much money, but for auspiciousness, they are all new copper coins.

It was issued in the name of Emperor Xianzong, and everything was the meaning of the emperor.

These people have not yet entered the barracks, but they all praised the emperor endlessly.

Wu Youwei looked at the army passing by like ants at the bottom of the mountain, and actually felt that the appearance of Daming's army was pretty good, at least every one of them looked very strong!

Later, I thought about it again, this is the elite among the elites, and it was an order issued by the emperor himself, so of course the composition must be selected.

Wantong came to Moring Villa again.

Wu Youwei took a walk after dinner with him at night, and sighed a bit by the way: "The military appearance is not bad!"

Unexpectedly, Wantong gave him a devastating blow: "12 people, in fact, only 10 people were in place, and the remaining [-] vacancies were divided up."

Wu Youwei...!!"

"Impossible?" Wu Youwei swallowed, and said with difficulty: "This is an order from the emperor himself!"

Didn't it mean that the ancient emperor was the sky?

How dare someone obey others?

"It's already very good. There are still 10 people in place, usually 8." Wantong said flatly: "Or [-]. The border will be around [-].

"Why?" Wu Youwei became angry: "This is the army! They are all going to fight! When the time comes to send [-] troops, [-] will be there, and if the other party claims [-], and [-] will be there, how can we fight this battle?"

Although I knew that it was not easy for the ancient sergeants, I never thought that they would be paid to such an extent!

In modern times, it is all overstaffed, everyone is scrambling to become a soldier, and the reserves are full every year.

If you want to be a professional soldier, you have to go through a screening process, and you can only become one after a series of assessments. The various benefits are extremely good.

He remembered that before he crossed, it seemed that the military expenditure had increased again?

It is said that after serving as a soldier for five years, 20 people will settle down after retiring from the army...

But of course Daming doesn't have such a good salary, but at least he doesn't need so many staff?

Wantong was silent for a moment: "I don't know.

Wu Youwei was angry: "I don't know?"

Well, it's like this in the entire army. Civil servants have three festivals and two longevity filial piety, but generals have nothing. How can they support a family without empty pay? "Wantong said quietly: "After winning a battle, rewards for meritorious deeds will most likely be deducted and exploited layer by layer, and those who can get it in their hands are very small.How can you support your family if you don’t eat free wages?How to support your subordinates if you don’t eat empty wages:

Wu Youwei said with a deep heart: "Can't you just eat empty money?"

Wantong knew he was angry, but he still shook his head: "Unless we find a way to feed them.
