I don't think I'll survive this year

Ji Huai stayed in Prince An's Mansion until dusk gradually closed, and then returned to the palace through the shadows.

On the second day, an order was issued that King An Jixuanrui would be the main general, and Jiaobai and Li Gou would be the deputy generals. He would lead an army of [-] troops to conquer Chidi and recover the lost land.Then, of course, it was the will to deploy troops, food and money.

The courtiers were gearing up to prepare for the next court meeting, and they were completely caught off guard by the little emperor's sudden visit.They wanted to argue a few words and explain to the newly enthroned little emperor that wars should not be messed up.As a result, every little eunuch who came to proclaim the decree was accompanied by a guard with a knife, who meant to do it directly if there was a disagreement.

Although these people are quick-spoken, they still cherish their lives in the end. In addition to the Northern Expedition, there is really no major hindrance to their interests, so this matter was completed without any delay.

Ji Huaizhi was still a little dazed when he personally sent the army off to battle—this was the first time since he came to power that he handled things so neatly.

Ji Huaizhi even thought: Why don't we do this every time we declare an edict?

Of course, he just thought about it, after all, if he ever met a stupid person who was not afraid of death, he would probably be the one who was cowardly.After all, no matter what, it was still a living human life, and he really didn't dare to let others do it.

**********

Just like King An's entry into Beijing, Ji Huaizhi still boarded the tower to see off the army this time.

Ascending the heights and looking far away, all you can see is the red-tasseled iron armor, which stretches to the sky, and there are many flags with red background and black border.

The shock of looking down on tens of thousands of people directly hits the soul. For a moment, Ji Huaizhi almost gave birth to a kind of arrogance that the world is in my hands.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to look away, but his heart was still surging... It had been a long time since he took the throne, and it was the first time he realized so deeply that he had become the ruler of this dynasty.

He vaguely felt that besides this meaningless tossing with the courtiers, what should he do...but what could he do?

Seeing the group of courtiers behind him, Ji Huaizhi was suddenly a little frustrated, he couldn't even handle the messy things in the court, he didn't know where he got the confidence just now, and he planned to do something else.

Some clamorous emotions calmed down again, Ji Huaizhi remembered the process entrusted by the ceremonial officials before, took the festival that Li Fu held over from the side, and slowly placed it in Wang An's hands.

At this moment, King An was kneeling in front of him, with his hands raised above his head, respectfully, showing a bit of dignity.There was silence all around, as if someone had pressed the pause button, only the movements of the two of them handing over the knot remained.King An took the festival, stood up, and held up the talisman symbolizing military power——

What kind of scene is it like when tens of thousands of people shout in unison?

Ji Huaizhi felt that the whole world was trembling for a moment. The tower he was standing on seemed to be in danger of collapsing. He subconsciously took a few steps to the side and put his hands on the crenel. close.

Emotions are very easy to infect each other, not to mention that in this scene where thousands of people are cheering, Ji Huaizhi only felt his heart beating faster and faster, and something seemed to overflow from his chest, and he almost couldn't restrain himself from shouting.

Fortunately, his still sober mind reminded him not to lose his composure in front of everyone.The fingers pressed against the wall were slightly strengthened, and the fingertips turned white, showing the restraint in the master's heart.

This earth-shattering cry did not last for a long time. Not long after, King An raised his hand again, and the cry that almost shook the world stopped abruptly, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Ji Huaizhi's face still had a slight blush from the excitement just now, and his heartbeat was still racing.When Wang An knelt down to bid farewell, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "May the emperor—the attack must be conquered! The battle must be won!"

Feeling the trembling of the hands on his shoulders, King An raised his eyes a little in surprise, but saw the young man looking excitedly at the soldiers under the city with bright eyes.

King An suddenly felt a little dazed——

Was it the same situation when he was taken by the emperor's brother to watch the garrison drill in the capital for the first time?

Those memories are too far away, and King An doesn't even remember which camp he went to... But seeing Ji Huaizhi's expression at this moment, he suddenly recalled the excitement that year.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: This child is only 16 years old.

Maybe I don't need to think too complicated about this child, all the suspicion and suppression are just his wishful thinking... During the month in Beijing, this child just kept showing his favor... Thinking, he saw Looking at Ji Huaizhi's eyes, he couldn't help softening slightly.

Therefore, under Ji Huaizhi's last "take care" blessing, King An smiled slightly at him, and there was a bit more genuine kindness in his eyes.He did not respectfully thank you as usual, but said softly: "Your Majesty is in Beijing, so please take care of yourself."

Ji Huai always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think too much, and nodded in agreement with his words.

When the army set off, Ji Huai sat back in the Luanjia, only to belatedly realize what was wrong.

——Did An Wang just smile?

Ji Huaizhi has been in contact with King An for a long time. This person has always looked serious in front of him. In the best case, his eyes are a little softer. Ji Huaizhi tried hard to recall the relationship with King An for more than a month, and found that... He doesn't seem to have ever smiled at him...

Thinking about it, Ji Huaizhi suddenly became a little uncertain, did he misread just now?

Ji Huai pulled the curtain of the car straight and poked his head out.Seeing this, Li Fu standing in front of the carriage hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Ji Huaizhi leaned forward again, lowered his voice, and said with some uncertainty: "Look, Uncle Huang just... just laughed?"

Li Fu paused for a moment, his chubby face showed a look of reminiscence, and after a while, he nodded affirmatively and said: "His Royal Highness King An is smiling."

Ji Huaizhi nodded, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment——

No wonder the uncle who gave gifts to him before didn’t respond, so he wanted to go out to fight... Although this hobby does not meet the requirements of the core values ​​of socialism, Ji Huaizhi still understands it.

After all, after the basic material needs are met, do we always have to meet the needs of the spiritual level?And this spiritual need is nothing more than the words "make contributions".King An's title of prince is almost at the top, and the next step is to become emperor, but according to his high loyalty value, it is obviously unrealistic for him to rebel.So beating Chidi and guarding the country is also considered to realize the value of life.

Thinking that he had grasped An Wang's mind, Ji Huaizhi shrank back into the carriage contentedly.

********

When King An was in the capital, Ji Huaizhi went to Prince An's mansion almost every other day.Now that Wang An is gone, Ji Huaizhi has nowhere to go, and he is not used to it for a while.

He walked around the bedroom twice, and finally decided to go out for a walk. He has been focusing on building a good relationship with King An these days, but he hasn't seen Yang Wentong for a long time, and he doesn't know how his deputy envoy is doing. Sample.

After he sent someone to inform Yang Wentong, he went to the inner room to change his clothes, but after he came out after changing his clothes, the palace servant he sent out hurriedly came back and said: "Qi report Your Majesty, Deputy Envoy Yang is not in Beijing, this is a letter to His Majesty before leaving."

Isn't it not in Fuchu, is it not in Beijing?

Ji Huaizhi couldn't help being a little surprised, but Li Fu had already taken the letter from the palace man and presented it to Ji Huaizhi's case. The envelope was stretched and deformed, and it seemed that something else was stuffed inside.

Ji Huai looked down and saw the four characters "His Majesty's Dear Father" lying on the envelope twisted and crooked.He raised his eyebrows slightly - oh, this is still the pen written by the young master himself.

He was not surprised by the bulge of the envelope visible to the naked eye. According to Yang Wentong's big characters, even if the letter was twice as thick, he wouldn't be too surprised.

Seeing that the outside of the letter was still sealed with wax, Ji Huaizhi almost opened the letter with a suppressed smile, and arranged the letters inside one by one on the table with great interest. He set his sights on Young Master Yang's study.

"puff!"

Although it's not good to laugh at your little friend, but Ji Huaizhi looked at Mr. Yang's work, and still couldn't help it... such a polite tone - Ji Huaizhi can imagine what kind of situation Yang Wentong was scratching his head when he wrote the letter up.

"Soldiers, major events of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival...*" Yes, yes, my friend also knows to quote famous quotes at the beginning.

"...My great Wei country is rich and powerful, but everyone understands etiquette and righteousness, and cultivates good relations with neighbors. However, barbarians in the wild can't appreciate the kindness of the court..."

Why didn't I realize that Yang Wentong had such a thick skin before?He also "deeply understands etiquette and righteousness". If he is taught to study one day, Han Guogong will probably kneel and thank the heavens.

Why?But having said that, it seems that Yang Wentong really went to study a few days ago... Ji Huaizhi was slightly distracted for a moment, but he quickly returned his attention to the crooked handwriting in front of him.

"... Now Chidi is going south, invading our country, causing the people to flee and lose their homes..." Ji Huaizhi was still laughing at Yang Wentong's tone of voice, but when he glanced at this sentence, he suddenly paused, and went back again I hesitated on the last eight characters

——The people were displaced and the people lost their homes.

Ji Huaizhi recited these eight words silently, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and guilt flooded his heart.

When he received the battle report earlier, his heart was more angry at the defeat and unwillingness to lose the country... As for the soldiers killed in the battle and the people affected, although he had thought about it, it was only in his mind. That's all...

Ji Huai pursed his lips tightly and continued to read.His eyes scanned the following content word by word, his expression became more and more serious, his pursed lips turned slightly white due to the force, and there were shallow wrinkles between his brows.

When he saw the last sentence, "My humble minister is willing to go north with the army to do my best", his complexion could not be summed up in just one ugly sentence.

Simply bullshit!

Yang Wentong was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and his level of force is probably better than him.Where is the battlefield? !If Yang Wentong really went to the front line, he would definitely be delivering food to someone.

He hurriedly greeted Li Fu who was waiting for the pen and ink, and wanted to call him back as an order before King An's troops went far.

However, just as Ji Huaizhi wrote a few words, he paused suddenly, hung his wrist, looked down at the bright yellow silk cloth in front of him, and became startled.

After a long while, he suddenly turned his head, pointed to the silk cloth in front of him, and said to Li Fu, "Just change it."

The author has something to say: [Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival]
