Wife's Observation Log

Coral point rouge.

The cold night is chaotic, the red floor is warm, and the clothes are scattered, I am afraid that the night will be short.

The hibiscus tent is sobbing and the warbler is crying; the peach blossoms in the Ruizhu Palace flow down the stream.

So bees and butterflies rushed to the branches.

At the end, kiss the forehead again.

Suspected early spring color.

After the newlyweds took a bath, they simply returned to the normal bedroom and lay down.

Xie Zhen was a little sleepy. Although she was good at staying up from five to nine to discuss military affairs, she didn't know how to stay up late to exercise, but seeing Lan Wei suddenly got up on her stomach and looked at her, she decided she had to cheer up.

Lan Wei seemed to be preparing for a while before she said, "Your Majesty."

Xie Zhen let out a "hmm", because she really didn't draw on cases and experience for what she did just now, so she was a little confused, but she found that every time Lan Wei wanted to call herself, she would think for a while, maybe Lan Wei was not used to it New address, but now I can't indulge her. After all, she has to get used to the process of addressing outside, and Lan Wei herself has to get used to being called "Your Highness" now, but when she gets used to it, Xie Zhen thought, tell her to let her like it You can call it whatever you want.

"Many courtiers are afraid of you now, but His Majesty is still thin, fair and good-looking, so you can't tell."

"What did you say?"

"Ah...Your Majesty," when Lan Wei called herself a series of names, it must be a good thing. Xie Zhen had a bad intuition, and sure enough she said hesitantly, "Your Majesty is His Majesty outside. Do you want to be a princess in the room?"

Xie Zhen sighed: "It's not easy on paper. Since I failed to satisfy Lanlan, at least next time, I promise you."

But when the wedding ceremony is over, all life seems empty.Xie Zhen didn't want Lan Wei to be a vase, so she let Lan Wei go to work, but what is the procedure for the queen to go to work? If she goes to court, should she stand below or sit on top? , Shangzhiwei cooperated, so during this handover time, Lan Wei was lying flat in the palace.

Xie Zhen thought, in order to prevent her from being too idle, he should pick her up and accompany him to change the memorial, but before Yishui who went to call Lan Wei came back, Chang Yuan reported in first.

"Your Majesty, I was born in the same year as you. With some age, I may be a good official, but the real achievements have not been established yet."

When Xie Zhen looked at Chang Yuan, he thought of Deng Zhen. He said that because Deng Zhen became a state official and had no real job, he could only stay in Beijing, so Chang Yuan could not be released, but in fact there was no need. Yuan's own wishes.

"I heard that last year, Jingxian and Cao Guoping put down the rebellion of the [-]th tribe in Taozhou, which was also an achievement. Now that everyone in Jingxian has returned to the capital, I don't know if they can take on other errands at the same time besides the staff?"

"Jing Xian may not be able to do it, I have other arrangements for her." Xie Zhen knew what she wanted, thought about her own layout, and added: "Actually, there are indeed battles to prepare for this year—a few rounds of conquest in Yunnan, It hasn’t been fully unified yet, this year I want to clean it up, and my original intention is to let Fu Youde and Lan Yu go, both of them should improve their command scale and hone their skills.”

"I want to fight at sea. I will go to Guangzhou for inspections, and then I will go south overseas." Chang Yuan finally stopped playing charades.

Xie Zhen went through the pros and cons in his mind, and finally smiled wryly: "The treasury doesn't have much extra money."

"But you can prepare slowly, right? Your Majesty, don't tell me that you haven't thought about it. The water bandits in Shitan, Tiechang, Qingyuan, and Daluoshan are also sores. They may be used as warships. There may be no less than a thousand ships." If we can subdue these powers, we can conquer the oceans, use the wealth of the barbarians as a war profit, use war to support war, and even use war to support the country, which can alleviate many domestic problems."

Xie Zhen actually didn't think much about it, Nanyang is not the old Han land, but Chang Yuan asked in such a sentence, she felt the need to think about it.But before she could think about it, she saw Lan Wei walking in. This was what she had told Yi Shui and the attendants not to stop Lan Wei on any occasion, so that she could judge by herself whether to advance or retreat.

After all, it was Xie Zhen who called Lan Wei first, and Chang Yuan was in the hall again. Xie Zhen actually thought that Lan Wei would not avoid it, but he didn't expect her to show a lightning-like expression after hearing Chang Yuan's words.

"You don't like this idea?" Chang Yuan also expressed surprise. The whole scene was that Lan Wei couldn't believe Chang Yuan's "supporting war with war", and Chang Yuan couldn't believe that Lan Wei didn't like "supporting war with war".

"Isn't this aggression?" Lan Wei asked back, "This is not a just war, why can we rob other people's property just because of our own inadequacy, just because they are not under Dayan's rule?"

"Otherwise?" Chang Yuan asked again, "Whether the war is just or not is not defined by national borders. Is it according to the Mohist law of non-offensive? If so, what reason do we have to fight Ming Yuzhen's Great Xia besides expelling Bei Yuan?" ? Why did Tang destroy Gaochang? Qin shouldn’t have unified the world.”

Logically speaking, Xie Zhen felt that the examples given by Chang Yuan were pertinent. These few examples basically belonged to the "state of innocence" considered by Mohists. If she said Tang and Qiuci, Han and Loulan, it would be inappropriate However, what puzzled her was Lan Wei's wording: "What's the meaning of 'aggression'?" Although the city is defeated, it is not a bad idea."

The original sentence of Niu Sengru is that if the husband and the barbarians do not defend the territory, they will not invade the city too much, and there will be defeat but not death.This sentence is compared with several major strategies for guarding the frontier. There are a few more sentences in the context. In summary, it means that defense is to resist the attacks of others. The best way to resist is to defeat others by attacking instead of defending. The best attack strategy It is to live in peace with the surrounding ethnic groups and assimilate them.Therefore, Xie Zhen can understand that Lan Weihua uses this word to describe Chang Yuan's action plan, but she really can't understand why Lan Wei treats this word with such disgust and negative emotions, because from her point of view, the source of this word Neither can be explained by current usage habits.

What's even more strange is that Lan Wei was stopped by the question, it wasn't a pure silence of not knowing the answer, Xie Zhen could see that she was having difficulty telling the answer, and was debating whether to tell the truth.

"Okay, let's talk about this later." Xie Zhen thoughtfully let her go.

After Chang Yuan looked back and forth at the emperor, she realized that arguing with Lan Wei would not achieve the result she wanted, so she pestered Xie Zhen again: "Your Majesty, even if you don't let me go to sea, you can give me a navy soldier first." Commander, let’s do it, I’ll go to inspect and disembark the ship.”

Chang Yuan is the commander of the Jingwei. From the third rank, Shangzhiwei's pro-military and non-professional guards are all trained by her, but the Shangzhiwei itself is not under her direct leadership, and Feng Sheng is the second-rank's pro-military guard. The Twelve Guards of Shangzhi Guards have their own responsibilities after reorganization. Among them, Longxiang Guards, Leopard Guards, and Feixiong Guards are mobile elites; The guards guarding the imperial city are guarding the imperial city and are responsible for access control and inspection; the Jinyi guards are responsible for guards of honor;

Among them, in addition to mobilizing non-pro-military guards, Chang Yuan managed to subdue the Feixiong Guards with the tacit consent of Emperor Changning and Xie Zhen. It is equivalent to having nearly fifty guards in hand, and she is already second to none among the younger generation of generals. High weight.In comparison, although Li Jingxian also has many direct descendants, she is still engaged in strategy in Fangsi, and her official position is only a fifth-rank doctor. Xie Zhen personally wants her to be in charge of the Ministry of War in the future, but that is the future; Feng Xichi just came from a cavalry sub-battalion When a commander is promoted to a command envoy, it is equivalent to increasing the strength of a thousand households to a guard, which is completely incomparable; Chang Mao is still honing at the level of a thousand households; Li Jinglong is also a command envoy at the end of his life; Zhen has never been in charge of Shi Que; Lan Yu is going to fight a foreign war; in the end, Tang Li is very good in managing Jinyiwei, but he can't take charge of Jingwei in one fell swoop.

Therefore, if Chang Yuan is let go and the Jingwei command, Xie Zhen can't find a suitable person to fill in; The only generals at this level who are good at training soldiers are Feng Sheng and Chang Yuan.So it becomes a matter of trade-offs, between letting the older generation take over Jingwei and getting a good navy.

"Your Majesty, how about Xunmei has a new proposal—"

"You said."

"Let Her Royal Highness be transferred to be the commander of Jingwei."

From the perspective of the proposal itself, it is outrageous. Lan Wei has no contact with Jingwei and has no experience in military training; but Chang Yuan's proposal is smart because it really fits Xie Zhen's heart, because Xie Zhen trusts and is willing to train Lan Wei.

Xie Zhen immediately began to think about Lan Wei's job title. Lan Wei's job as a worker in charge of the Tiangong Academy is considered a fourth-rank, and it is not too much to go up to half a level from the third-rank Jingwei Commander Tongzhi, and it is not too much to be a Tongzhi. The commander explained that Chang Yuan expressed her willingness to take a step back and stay in the Beijing army, but only temporarily went out of Beijing to patrol the sea.

Lan Wei seemed to have nothing to do with this, so Xie Zhen assured Chang Yuan to go out and ask the household servant on duty to come in and draft the edict.

After this matter was dealt with, Xie Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and Yishui came in at the right time to change the tea, and served snacks for the two remaining people in the hall. Xie Zhen gave her a wink, and she silently retreated, closed the door and guarded it .

"Lanlan," Xie Zhen asked, "is that the person we discussed before, is that you?"
