Ye Xiaoxian was obviously intentional.
However, what strength does she have with Ye Xiaoxian? Originally, she was not a maid in the palace, but an official family member. Can't she just pull down the staff and scold?
From another angle, ye Xiaoxian really has the style of a general girl. Which of those general girls is not so stubborn, or she won't match Xiao Baoshan.
The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and then said, "eat it. Don't worry about it with her. Just clip the one you like to eat."
……
Heihe village.
Xiao Baoshan led his people to repel the Beiqing army again and again, and soon drove the Beiqing army out of Daqi.
The Beiqing army suffered heavy casualties. After the first two battles, there were no reinforcements. Therefore, they had to surrender, send someone to make peace, and agree to return Mobei to Daqi.
Therefore, xiaobaoshan not only recovered heihezhuang, but also Mobei county.
The news came back to pray and the whole country celebrated.
And xiaobaoshan is ready to return to the dynasty.
The day before they left, their barracks were also carnival. Xiaobao mountain once allowed their soldiers to drink.
Xiao Baoshan also drinks with Yan Ziyan in the camp.
Anyway, the war is over. They say what they have now.
Yan Ziyan asked Xiao Baoshan while drinking: "General Xiao, the situation in the north is basically like this. As for me, I agreed with the emperor before. He allowed us to stay in Northern Xinjiang and grant us official titles."
Xiao Baoshan said, "you really made great contributions in this decisive battle. There's no reason to be an official."
Yan Ziyan asked, "General Xiao, do you really think so?"
"Nature." Xiaobaoshan tunnel without thinking.
These days, he took reinforcements to the north for support. Although he was the commander in chief, Yan Ziyan and others did not do less. Although they were born as grass bandits, they were very brave on the battlefield, more heroic than many reinforcements transferred from the capital.
Xiao Baoshan took a sip of wine, and then added, "Xiao, someone admires you from the bottom of his heart. You are a group of people with family and country feelings and childlike heart."
Yan Ziyan said with a bitter smile, "I hope you can say a few good words for us in front of your majesty after you return to Beijing."
Xiao Baoshan had a toast with him and said, "this is Xiao's duty."
Wang Meng on one side saw that Xiao Baoshan and Yan Ziyan were talking happily, really like brothers, so he hesitated for a long time before he asked, "General Xiao, will you come back after you go back this time?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "see what the imperial court needs."
Wang Meng asked again, "what if the court wants you to come back... Kill us?"
Xiao Baoshan asked, "you are meritorious people. Why did the imperial court kill you?"
"We were born as bandits."
"What's wrong with the origin of grass bandits? As long as they are loyal to the imperial court and can fight the enemy." Xiaobaoshan must be a tunnel.
Seeing that Xiao Baoshan's attitude was sincere and didn't seem to be nonsense, Wang Meng felt relieved and said, "I hope what General Xiao said is from the bottom of his heart."
Xiao Baoshan smiled and raised his glass to drink to them.
……
Late at night, xiaobaoshan stood up from the camp.
He first scanned the camp.
Yan Ziyan and Wang Meng were all drunk. He just pretended to be drunk, but in fact he wasn't drunk. He just slept because he drank too much.
If he did it at this time, Yan Ziyan and Wang Meng would die quietly this night. He would do it very clean and let them have no pain.
But he wouldn't do that.
Although, when he thought of Ye Xiaoxian, his chest would ache strongly.
However, the leaf is a life, Yan Ziyan they are also a life.
During this time, they fought and cooperated together on the battlefield. Regardless of their feelings, these people also fought with him. He didn't want to see anyone die miserably in front of him.
I don't want the scene many years ago to reappear in front of me again.
So he went out of the camp and found a place outside to see the stars, listen to the birds nearby, and think about the leaves.
……
Capital.
Because of the victory of the war in the north, Li Chengkun was very happy.
He could not help but hold another banquet in the court and gave the whole court a month's tax exemption.
For a time, the whole country was happy.
Many people know that this is the credit of xiaobaoshan, so they are ready to welcome xiaobaoshan back in triumph.
On that day, Li Chengkun asked in the morning: "General Xiao won the war this time, so he naturally wants to reward him for his achievements. What do you suggest?"
The civil servants represented by Qin Yilun immediately stood up: "tell your majesty, Beiqing repeatedly provoked us to the north and led our Mobei city for so long. Now Mobei and Heihe village have finally been taken back by General Xiao. General Xiao is naturally a great hero, so I suggest that General Xiao should be the general of Zhenbei. And..."
"What else?" Asked Li Chengkun.
"It's said that Yan Ziyan and others have also made contributions to the good news from the north. Although they used to be grass-roots bandits, now they have done more than they have done. It's only right to reward them based on their achievements."
When Qin Yilun finished, the national master disdained to say, "General Xiao has made great achievements, but Yan Ziyan and others just listen to General Xiao. Without general Xiao, he can't get up to any fire. In addition, Yan Ziyan and others are grass-roots bandits. Grass-roots bandits have the bad nature of grass-roots bandits and are not in control. They like to stand alone. Don't you worry that they will rebel?"
Qin Yilun said, "as long as they meet their requirements, they should not."
Since ancient times, there have been only officials, coercion and opposition from the people. Otherwise, what's wrong with people being good people?
The national master still disdained: "I'm afraid they will be insatiable. But you're right. They really do meritorious service. In my opinion, you can seal Yan Ziyan as a commander and reward tens of thousands of taels of gold."
Qin Yilun stopped talking.
Commander, it's too low.
Li Chengkun sat on the Dragon chair and listened to their discussion. In the end, he didn't make a decision, but said, "I've listened to the opinions of all the love Qing people, and let me think about it."
Of course, in the end, the national teacher will stay.
……
Royal study.
Li Chengkun and the national teacher talked face to face again.
The national master was still self righteous: "hum, they actually want a grass-roots bandit to garrison the border, not to mention that the battle was fought by xiaobaoshan. Even Yan Ziyan's people can't agree to Yan Ziyan's garrison. Otherwise, cats and dogs everywhere want to learn from him in the future."
Li Chengkun said, "don't you have an explanation over there?"
"Of course, it has been explained. I don't know whether he has done it or not."
"What if he didn't?" Li Chengkun asked again.
"If he doesn't do it, he will do it in the future. Even if he returns to the court, his wife will buckle it here."
Li Chengkun said, "well, everything depends on the national teacher. The national teacher will arrange it."
The national master smiled: "now it's the minister who comes to be a bad man... However, everything he does is for his majesty. Even if there is any curse in the future, he will bear it voluntarily."
"Thank you, national teacher!"
