meet again

Chapter 492
The Hall of Supreme Harmony is one of the most spacious palaces in the palace, and there are the most royal guards and servants in the hall.Finding a completely quiet place is not easy.

Of course, Shen You and Feng Shaojun did not have such troubles.Both of them are celebrities in the palace, and one is a close minister of the emperor, the commanding envoy of Jin Yiwei who has a great reputation.The other is regarded as the successor of Eunuch Yang, in charge of the emperor's dark guard.It is the Lord that everyone wants to cater to and show favor with.

Shen You pushed open the door of a side room, and when Eunuch Feng entered the room, Shen You closed the door behind his back.

Shen You didn't speak, and first stretched out his hand to embrace Eunuch Feng into his arms.

If people saw this scene, they would be shocked.

"What's the matter with you recently?" Shen You bowed his head and whispered in Feng Shaojun's ear: "You always seem to be absent-minded. Is something wrong?"

Nestling in the familiar warm chest, sniffing the unique breath of Shen You, Feng Shaojun's restless heart suddenly calmed down.

The matter of the Qiu family's inner house must not be mentioned.However, she couldn't hide her abnormality from Shen You, so she had to find a reason to explain it.

"At the end of the year in the previous life, my adoptive father suddenly became seriously ill and died in just a few months." Feng Shaojun sighed: "Since last year, I have reminded my adoptive father that every half a month, I will invite you in private. The imperial doctor will check the pulse. If there is anything wrong, he can diagnose and treat it in time."

"Seeing that it's autumn, my heart is in a state of ups and downs, and it's really hard to be stable. These days, I have trouble sleeping and eating, and my mind is restless."

This incident was indeed a hidden worry hanging in Feng Shaojun's heart.Feng Shaojun's worry was not feigned.

Shen You did not doubt that there was him, and comforted Feng Shaojun in a low voice: "A lot of things in the previous life have changed. Eunuch Yang often asks the imperial doctor to check his pulse. If there is any disease, he can be found and cured early. Don't always be worried. "

Feng Shaojun sighed again: "That's what I said, I'm always not at ease. After this winter, as long as my adoptive father is safe and sound, I can rest assured."

People's hearts are made of flesh.Eunuch Yang protects Feng Shaojun everywhere, and in Feng Shaojun's heart, Eunuch Yang's foster father is not as important as others.

Feng Shaojun quickly cheered up, raised his head and smiled and said, "You came to see me today just for such a trivial matter?"

Shen You stared at her: "In my heart, your emotions are the most important thing."

Feng Shaojun couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so good at coaxing people all of a sudden?"

"I never coax people." Shen You said in a low voice, "What I say is from my heart. Young Master, I always feel that you are hiding something from me."

Feng Shaojun's heart skipped a beat, and without revealing anything on his face, he replied with a smile: "The errands I do are different from yours. I have to hide everything in my heart. I have a lot of things hidden from you. What are you talking about?" pile?"

Feng Shaojun's reaction was sharp, and it was too difficult to find clues from her face.

Shen You smiled helplessly: "Forget it, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask. In short, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side"

Feng Shaojun's nose was slightly sour, and he smiled and said, "Of course. You are my husband-in-law, and you can't hide if you want to." Then, he pushed him back: "You haven't eaten yet! Don't dawdle here, go Eat. I have to go to work when I'm full!"

Shen You hummed, and said before leaving: "If something unexpected happens, you send someone to send a letter to me immediately. If there is any problem, we husband and wife will face it together."

Feng Shaojun smiled sweetly: "Okay."

……

After this little episode, Feng Shaojun's irritable and gloomy mood finally eased.

On the other side of the Qiu family's inner house, the weather was calm.

Since the gatekeeper lady was replaced, the other party has been silent.It seemed that Jiang could not get close and gave up.However, Feng Shaojun did not take it lightly, and issued a strict order to continue to keep an eye on Jiang.

Prince Zhao's Mansion and Prince Fu's Mansion were also closely watched.Every two days, the secret sentry will pass the news to the palace.

Even on the Yuan family's side, Feng Shaojun also sent spies.

Yuan Qing became an official, and the commander of the frontier army was replaced by General Meng. This incident dealt a heavy blow to the Yuan family.The Yuan family has been acting very low-key recently, even rarely going to the palace to pay their respects.

After General Meng went to the border, he did not change the Yuan family's position in the army, but stepped up training.

General Meng went to the memorial, and on the memorial, General Meng made an impassioned statement, wanting to train a cavalry force of about [-].To train cavalry, firstly, tens of thousands of horses are required, and secondly, huge military pay is required.

Emperor Qing'an fully supported the training of cavalry.However, the imperial court just fought a big battle, which cost countless money and food.The casualties of the frontier army were staggering, and the post-war pensions had completely emptied the treasury.There is really no money in the treasury now.

Emperor Qing'an summoned the Shangshu of the Ministry of War to enter the palace, and specially summoned General Yuan Qing and his son to discuss how to equip the frontier army.

After all, Yuan Qing had been the chief general of the frontier army for many years, and he was very familiar with the situation of the soldiers in the frontier army. He opened his mouth and said: "This time the Tartars invaded, the disadvantage of the frontier army with few cavalry has been clearly revealed, and cavalry must be trained."

The Minister of the Household Department sighed: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has made a budget to train 50 cavalry, at least 80 horses. A horse costs 300 taels of silver, and a good horse costs [-] taels to a hundred taels. It takes a lot of money to raise it with concentrate. Roughly speaking, it costs more than [-] million taels a year. Now the Ministry of Households really can’t come up with money, and it can’t afford it.”

The Minister of the Ministry of War took up the words: "Training soldiers is not a one-day effort. It takes at least two or three years to train an elite cavalry. I think that [-] cavalry can't afford to train, so you can train less first. After the treasury Filled up, and slowly practice cavalry."

That's all there is to it.

Emperor Qing'an asked the two ministers solemnly: "In your opinion, how many cavalry can be trained now?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of War had already calculated in private, and said in unison: "At most five thousand cavalry."

Just for this, the warehouse of the Ministry of Households had to be scraped again, and all the war horses from the Ministry of War had to be taken out.Everyone in the court had to tighten their wallets to live.

General Yuan said in a deep voice: "Train [-] cavalry first, and then train another [-] cavalry when the tax goes into the treasury next year. In this battle, the Tartars suffered heavy losses, even worse than our Daqi frontier army. Within three years, they There is simply no strength to send troops. With this period of time, it is enough for the court to slow down and train [-] cavalry."

A cold light flashed in Emperor Qing'an's eyes, and he said slowly: "Only when the frontier army is strong, can it defend and deter the Tatar Rouran, and the border can be peaceful. It is imperative to train cavalry."

"According to what you said, first train 300 cavalry. In the next year or two, the frontier army will have to pay [-] million taels more. Pass on my order to General Meng. I want him to train [-] taels within three years. Elite cavalry."
