Chapter 1436: 741

After Marquis Pingyang left, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai also came out of the hall and walked slowly along a bluestone path.

The warm sunshine in the spring shone on the two of them, making people feel relaxed, Xiao Yi stretched his waist and said loudly: "Xiao Bai, it is spring now, the weather is just right, one day we will call Xiao Hezi and the others. Let's go hiking."

As he said that, he thought to himself: This is a good idea, I just took the opportunity to leave that stinky boy at home to be taken care of by the wet nurse and maids, and let Ah Yue go out and let the wind out.

Why! Obviously there are so many servants in the family, a wet nurse can't handle that stinky boy, and nine maids are enough, right?

But Ah Yue was too concerned about that stinky boy, and she had to do everything herself.

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, as if there were acid bubbles in his heart.

Guan Yubai didn't know that Xiao Yi was thinking about this, so he responded with a smile: "Okay."

The voice just fell, and I heard a cheerful eagle cry from above. The white eagle seemed to know that it was time to go out to play, and together with the gray eagle, it happily spread its wings and circled above, chasing.

The smile on the corner of Guan Yu Bai's mouth deepened, and he said, "Han Yu is also suffocating." If he doesn't let Xiao Hui go out to play, there will be no birds, snakes and rats in this Zhennan Palace that dare to come.

Xiao Yi also looked up at the twin eagles in the sky, and suddenly said a series of names: "Yao Yan, Tian He, Hua Hewei, Cheng Yu, Li Dexian..."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Guan Yubai, "Xiao Bai, what do you think of them?"

The official language has a brooding look on his white face. Now that it is spring and the weather is getting warmer, he originally planned to return to Nanliang in the early spring of this year, but Luo Yuecheng couldn’t get away from it. At present, Nanliang still lacks a person who can preside over the overall situation, so he and Xiao Yi discussed it. Pick the right person to go to Nanliang, and you will be able to do everything.

These two people should be people they have believed in, and they should have enough ability to stand on their own.

Xiao Yi suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage. He was short of people. Although the junior generals under his command were growing up step by step, they were still far from being in command of the three armies and being independent. As for civilian officials, they were even more scarce—Nanjiang Located in the frontier, he has been harassed by foreigners for many years, so that everyone in the southern border places emphasis on martial arts and low literature...

Thinking about it, Xiao Yi couldn't help but want to sigh.

At this time, Guan Yubai said slowly: "General Tian can be ordered to go to the military commander's side, but the civil servant..." He sighed and shook his head, "Cheng Yu and Li Dexian can keep the fashion, but it's not a long-term plan. ."

No matter how small Nanliang is, it is still a country. The current few people can choose to govern the city, but they are not enough to govern the country.

Xiao Yi never struggled, so he quickly regained his energy and said, "It's not in a hurry anyway, let them go over first, and then we'll look for it slowly." The southern border is so big, he can't believe that he can't find a suitable candidate!

During the conversation, the two had come to Qingyunwu, under the stone bridge, the lake was sparkling.

The fish in the lake under the bridge seem to know that someone is coming from above, and they swim from all directions, swaying their tails under the lake, like the stars in the moon.

Looking down at the carp group under the lake, Guan Yubai seemed to think of something, turned to look at Xiao Yi and said, "Ayi, I have already drawn up the first draft of the new recruiting system we discussed..."

"So fast?!" Xiao Yi's eyes lit up.

Although the southern border has an army of 200,000 people, in the past few years, the army has suffered many losses.

If the southern border is not to be controlled by the great wealth, the troops must not be small. However, for the sake of the people’s livelihood in the southern border, farmers cannot be recruited as soldiers at will, so these days Xiao Yi has been discussing this matter with Guan Yubai, and Guan Yubai proposed To draw up a new conscription system, and said the general idea.

Xiao Yi also felt that this method was feasible. After the two negotiated roughly, Guan Yubai started to draw up the specific regulations.

The little four in the back frowned. It was because of the new recruiting system. The young master had been pondering and revising it for several days. He personally took the yard and burned the waste paper in the study.

Xiao Si glared at Xiao Yi, didn't enter the house with the two of them, just flew over the eaves, leaned over and took a nap.

The two people in front quickly entered Guan Yubai's study and sat down across the desk.

A well-written, neatly handwritten piece of rice paper was pressed under the small paperweight, and the powerful words appeared on the paper.

Guan Yubai felt that Dayu's current military recruitment system was quite limited, and wanted to add a new military system on this basis.

They initially plan to conduct trials in the five cities of Kailian City, Fuzhong City, Yanding City, Yongjia City and Dengli City.

This recruit system is to integrate the soldiers and the people, recruit those farmers to train in the slack farming season, join the army in wartime, and the southern Xinjiang army will equip them with weapons and war horses.

In the final analysis, the purpose of the recruit system is to prevent future wars. When necessary, these peasants and soldiers can be used as supplementary troops, which can be fought and defended, so that the southern border can stand in an invincible position.

The reason why I chose to try it out in these five cities is that on the one hand, Xiao Yi's prestige in these five cities is so high, and on the other hand, the people of these five cities have been devastated by war. More deeply understand that living must be prepared for danger.

Xiao Yi quickly read the comprehensive document, Taohua's eyes shone brightly, and he said, "Okay! I will have this document sent to the five cities tomorrow!"

He can imagine that this new conscription system will inevitably stir up thousands of waves in the southern border, with support and opposition.

But that's the fun, isn't it?

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and looked at Guan Yubai, the two smiled at each other, Xiao Yi suddenly said something inexplicably: "The old saying is honest, don't deceive me, things gather by like, and people are divided into groups! Xiaobai, don't you think?"

The official language was white, but he didn't laugh, but the little four on the eaves outside frowned, thinking: Who is like you?

Xiao Yi quickly put away the document, then glanced at the leaky pot on the desk, then got up and asked, "Xiao Bai, A Yue and I are going to Ting Yu Pavilion to accompany my grandfather for dinner later, you Would you like to be together?"

Guan Yubai shook his head and said, "I will go to the camp later."

Xiao Yi was stunned, and then he remembered that Guan Yubai was recruiting new soldiers for the God Arm Battalion recently.

Said to be recruiting new soldiers, in fact, it is to select suitable elite soldiers from the whole army and incorporate them into the God Arm Battalion.

There are still a lot of people this time, and the 3,000 God Arm Battalion will be expanded to 10,000.

As soon as the recruitment document was sent out, it caused a commotion in the Luoyue City camp.

In fact, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai had long wanted to expand the God Arm Battalion and change the battalion into an army, but the continuous crossbow and iron arrows of the God Arm Battalion really burned both money and mines. Industry, taxes from Nanliang, and the sacrifice of Baiyue, he gradually became richer, and he took action immediately. Now he has made another 3,000 consecutive crossbows, plus a million iron arrows, just waiting Recruits are in place.

This recruit selection has also been selected for ten days, and it is almost time to calculate the result.

The Divine Arm Army is under Guan Yubai, and now that recruits have been selected, Guan Yubai should go to the main camp to reorganize.

Xiao Yi sighed faintly, winked at Guan Yubai, and said, "Although I also want to go with Xiaobai to see the excitement, but Xiaobai, I am a father now, and I have to stay at home when I have time. child……"

Don't know what you're "showing off"? ! Xiao Si's brows twitched again, and he didn't know how many times he thought gloatingly: It's right that Xiao Shizi gave birth to a son and was mad at him!

Guan Yubai couldn't help laughing, putting his right hand into a fist against his lips, and coughing twice, causing the double eagles wandering outside to fly to the window from time to time, looking inside curiously.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the sun is coming.

On this day, after barely a day's delay, the Qiao family was sent away by King Zhennan's people. Qiao Xingyao understood that Mrs. Qiao was completely out of power, and hated her for hurting his family, but since King Zhennan gave him a flat wife, he must "appreciate it", otherwise, if even he angered King Zhennan, Who knows how far their family will fall...

Compared with the turmoil caused by the Xuanjia Army taking Chen Rentai, the departure of the Qiao family was almost unknown in Luoyue City, but a breeze blew across the lake, nothing changed, nothing was left...

Even King Zhennan left the eldest sister's family behind, and all he could think about was Chen Rentai.

Although Xiao Yi told King Zhennan to leave it alone, how could King Zhennan really let it go? In the days to come, he was so worried that he had dozens of gray hairs. Often tossing and turning.

Sometimes, he wakes up in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep, so he leans against the window and grieves, sighing how much debt he owes to that renegade son in his last life, and it breaks his heart for him.

Sometimes, when he dreamed back at midnight, he dreamed that their Zhennan palace was beheaded by the emperor's imperial decree, and the corpses were all over the floor, so he sat up screaming.

Wei is a bedside person, so she naturally feels deeply about the changes of King Zhennan, so she simply followed the "suggestion" of the prince and graciously gave King Zhennan a young concubine...

The fifteen-year-old bride's auntie is young, beautiful, and charming, and she is especially good at playing the pipa. She immediately attracted the attention of most of the King of Zhennan. She spends more than half of the month there, feeling that she is still in her prime. , Spring and Autumn are flourishing!

Occasionally, when he accidentally thought of Chen Rentai, he said to himself, since this errant son doesn't worry about it, why should he be worrying about nothing and spend a few years short of his life!

When King Zhennan was busy enjoying the warm fragrance of his concubine, he didn't realize that Xiao Yi's control over the southern region was deepening little by little, like a thriving tree deeply rooting its roots. The whiskers must be rooted in the depths of the soil, getting deeper and stronger... Even if one day, a storm suddenly comes, it cannot be shaken in the slightest!

The southern border was drizzled in April, and it was finally clear in mid-April.

On April 17th, thinking that the weather would be warm enough after a few days of fine weather, Nangong Yue went out with Xiao Yi and their little Xiao Yu, and the family of three went to the Great Buddha Temple outside the city.

Last year, the young couple once went to the Great Buddha Temple with Nangong Xin and his wife to seek a child. Now that they have a precious child, of course, they have to take the child to the Great Buddha Temple to repay their vows.

This time there is no need to rush to burn the incense sticks, so their itinerary is also very leisurely.

It can be said that today is the first time the little guy has gone out since he was born. Nangong Yue also has all kinds of worries in his heart. He is afraid that he is not used to riding in a carriage, that he is not used to bumps... I didn't expect the little guy's adaptability to be unexpectedly strong. After driving out of the two streets smoothly, he didn't see any special reaction, and he was enjoying himself in Nangong Yue's arms.

The little guy is almost three months old, and he has rarely been swaddled recently. Today he was wearing a bright red engraved silk jacket and a hat with a circle of rabbit fur. The skillful Ying'er also made a pair of cat ears on the hat, which looked cute on his head. It was so great that when his father saw Mao Xiaobai and Xiaoju looking at the little guy curiously in the early morning, he had an idea and almost gave him another nickname called "Xiaohong".

The little guy was obviously curious about the carriage, his black and white eyes were rolling, looking around, and occasionally grinning, as if he had seen something interesting to him.

Xiao Yi saw that Nangong Yue had focused his attention on the stinky boy since he got in the car. He pouted, but he said, "Ayue, are you tired? I'll come."

He stretched out his hand to take the little guy in Nangong Yue's arms, and the little guy's eyes immediately turned to him, he already knew people, and preferred his mother's soft and fragrant embrace, so his pink mouth moved and let out The sound of babbling, and the limbs are kicking hard in the air, and it seems that they are not willing to be taken over.

Xiao Yi weighed the big red meat ball indifferently, the little guy was immediately distracted, and he grinned again and giggled, his little face grinning round.

This stinky boy has no other advantages, that is, he likes to laugh and coax.

Sometimes he burst into tears, and a single flick of a rattle was enough to make him burst into laughter.

No principle! I don't know who this looks like? ! Xiao Yi shook his head silently in his heart.

The carriage drove slowly all the way. Originally, the Great Buddha Temple was only seven or eight miles away from Luoyue City, but it took nearly an hour to arrive today.

After the driver carefully stopped the car, he was relieved and relieved.

He has driven the palace for so many years, and he has seen a lot of things in the world. It is the first time that he is so nervous. Who let the most precious little grandson in the palace today.

If this is a shocking horse or something to scare Xiao Shisun, let alone Shizi and Shizi, even the prince can't get around him!

Today is to repay the vow, the key is sincerity, so Xiao Yi did not make a big splash, but just brought seven or eight Bixiaotang guards with him.

They instructed the maids, grooms and guards to wait outside the temple. After the young couple wrapped the little guy in a red cloak, they carried him into the temple gate.

At this time, time has passed, and the incense is at its peak in the Great Buddha Temple, and believers can be seen coming and going everywhere.

Wherever they went, everyone's eyes inevitably fell on the young couple, not only because of their outstanding appearance, as good-looking as a pair of beautiful people walking out of a painting, but also because of the child in Xiao Yi's arms.

Many young women and girls cast envious glances at Nangong Yue. At that time, people often paid attention to "holding the grandson and not holding the child". This wealthy family has a nanny and a maid to hold the child, while most ordinary people are themselves mothers. hold baby.

However, this young master from an extraordinary background did not shy away from it, and obviously loved his wife very much.

Nangong Yue felt both sweet and helpless in her heart. In fact, she also wants to hug Brother Yu more. Brother Yu is growing fast, so I don't want to hug him anymore. It is estimated that in a few months, she will not be able to hold her anymore...

In his thoughts, the Guanyin Hall appeared in front of him.

The last time I came early, Xiao Yi deliberately arranged it, so the Guanyin Hall was empty, and there were three or five young women waiting outside today.

Seeing the two of them approaching the Guanyin Palace, several young women whispered and pointed, Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but remember that when he went to the Anlan Palace to pray, a group of women was inexplicably attracted to look for Ayue's hairpin. It was simply inexplicable! Will these women come again?

Two of the women hesitated for a while, then came over boldly. A woman with a round face spoke to Nangong Yue with a smile on her face: "This lady, did you come to repay your wishes?"

Nangong Yue smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

Another melon-faced lady immediately said with a smile, "Sister Liu, let me tell you. The Guanyin for sending children here is very effective! By the way, the signature here is also very effective!" She raised her voice slightly with excitement. He also asked Nangong Yue, "Madam, did you ask for a signature at that time?"

Nangong Yue smiled and nodded again: "The signature here is very effective."

Not really!

She also clearly remembered that she asked for a sign, and then the baby "come".

The two women who came to talk were all beaming with joy, and they couldn't help but looked at the little guy in Xiao Yi's arms, their amazed eyes glued to the little guy, and the little dumpling wearing a cat-ear hat had bright eyes, full of energy, and white inside. The blushing face was unbelievably beautiful.

"This child is so well raised!" The melon-faced lady sighed.

Xiao Yi curled his lips proudly, thinking in his heart: That's right, Ah Yue takes good care of his own stinky boy.

"Yeah, your girl is so beautiful!" The round-faced woman agreed enviously.

girl? ! Xiao Yi's face suddenly stiffened, he frowned, and said angrily, "Can't you see that he's a stinky boy?" Even men and women can't tell the difference, and these people's eyes are too bad!

Is it a brother? The two women were dumbfounded and apologized again and again, but they felt something strange and looked at each other. How can such a beautiful brother be called "stinky boy"?

The two women withdrew in embarrassment. After returning to their friends, they became excited again, and excitedly talked about how the Guanyin of Sending Sons here was so effective.

Nangong Yue stared at the little dumpling for a while. Of course she knew that her child was beautiful, but she didn't expect to be mistaken for a girl. It seemed that she couldn't wear this bright red dress anymore.

No, brother Yu looks so much like his father, I'm afraid it's not just the bright red that he can't wear...

When the mother suddenly felt a little headache.

"Susususu..."

A gust of breeze suddenly blew, making the dense branches and leaves above his head rustling, Xiao Yi alertly closed the cloak for the little guy in his arms, but the little guy was very excited, looking at the dense shade above, he was so happy. He danced and grinned stupidly, causing his father to raise the corners of his lips.

Xiao Yi stretched out a forefinger and lightly tapped the little guy's eyebrows, then said with a smile, "Ayue, don't you think it's this stinky boy who should come to the Bodhisattva today to repay his vows? The Bodhisattva gave him such good parents... …”

Nangong Yue couldn't help but help her forehead, looked at her brother Yu sympathetically, and said to her heart: "Brother Yu, it's not something you can choose to have such a father on the stall. In the future, your mother will be more kind to you.

At this time, the pilgrims in the hall came out in twos and threes, and the women outside entered the hall one by one, and the two followed to the Guanyin Hall.

As Nangong Yue walked away, a thought came to her mind: Since everyone is here, why don't you just ask Guanyin to send her son.

Ayi wants a daughter, and she also wants to add a sister to brother Yu!

She curled her lips into a smile, her obsidian-like eyes shone brightly, taking this as a little secret between her and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

She knelt down reverently on the futon, closed her eyes and put her hands together.

It is not only repaying the vow to the Bodhisattva, but also making a vow again.

On this day, the two did not stay in the temple to eat fast food. After paying their vows, they embarked on the return journey. After a while, a group of carriages and horses returned to Bixiaotang safely.

The carriage slowly drove into the gate of East Street. Bamboo was walking anxiously in the courtyard behind the gate. When the carriage came in, he hurriedly greeted him, "Master Shizi!"

Xiao Yi got off the carriage with the little guy in his arms, and raised his eyebrows at Bamboo, who was horrified, as if to say, after being with this son for so long, why are you making such a fuss!

Bamboo was dripping with cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "Master Shizi, the water has gone from the inn!"

The three princesses and the Marquis of Yangyang are all in the inn, can he not be in a hurry? !
