There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 1015 One word: lack of people

"Senior brother, even I can see the extravagance. I'm afraid the prince and the others will insist on it." Zhou Wei looked worried.

"Master, I can make some arrangements secretly..." Yang Zhilan suggested from the side.

"No! I have my own opinion." Su Xian smiled and waved his hand.

At this time, a military officer walking towards him recognized him and hurriedly clasped his fists: "The common people pay homage to the Taiwei!"

The military talents around were stunned. So this person was the awesome Taiwei?
They immediately stopped what they were doing and gathered around. Everyone had bright smiles on their faces and bowed one after another: "It turns out that it is the Taiwei who is in front of you. We did not come to meet him from afar, and we hope that the Taiwei will atone for his sins."

Su Xianlang said:
"You are welcome! I came here secretly, just to have a look at you before the retest. By the way, are you all happy these days? If you have any negligence, you can raise it at any time."

The warriors praised:

"No! The food, living conditions, etc. in this camp are excellent. Some things are simply not available outside. The captain is really thoughtful."

Su Xian smiled when he saw this and shouted:
"The reason why this officer is like this is that I hope that you will go all out in the next test, give full play to your abilities, and don't hide them."

"Please rest assured, Lieutenant, we will do our best." The military talents were gearing up, full of expectations for the retest in the afternoon, and eager to try.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Su Xian chatted with the martial arts talents for a few words before leaving with Zhou Wei and Yang Zhilan.

On the way back to the city, Su Xian asked the two of them: "From your point of view, how do these martial arts talents look? I mean in terms of skill."

Zhou Wei was the first to answer: "Very good! Most people can be called masters who dominate one area. Although they are not as good as myself and Nuxia Yang, they are better with more people!"

Yang Zhilan calmly replied: "Among them, some of them have extremely strong auras, and they are only one step away from super masters. If they get a little guidance from the masters, they will definitely be able to pass that step within a year!"

"This is great, hahaha..." Su Xian was overjoyed and thought to himself: "In this way, the scale and quality of the Hou Mansion's soldiers will be greatly improved!"

the other side.

Wucai camp.

It is said that after they watched Su Xian leave, they all gathered together to discuss:
"Sure enough, a hero is born as a teenager. I didn't expect the legendary Taiwei to be so young. It's amazing, it's amazing!"

"Have you noticed? The man and woman next to the captain have unfathomable skills. Even I can't tell the depth. This is simply terrifying!"

"Nonsense, that's a lieutenant who is famous all over the world! It's normal to have two super masters around you for personal protection. The only thing I feel is that the lieutenant is really good to us!"

"That's a good thing to say. Since we entered Beijing, everything including food, clothing, housing and transportation has been excellent. We have good wine and good food every day... To be honest, I don't want to go back, hahaha..."

"The Lieutenant is so charming, we can't just eat and drink for free. Everyone, don't be serious about the re-examination this afternoon."

"..."

East Palace.

The prince, princess, Qian Zhongshu and others gathered together.

Sure enough, they were discussing "Su Xian's extravagance and extravagance".

From the travel expenses of the civil and military talents, to the bonuses after the test, to the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the civil and military talents, these are all stains on Su Xian!

Qian Zhongshu's expression was stern and his words were righteous, and he paid homage to the prince:
"Your Highness, according to the old minister's estimate, the Taiwei has spent no less than 30 taels of money since he recruited his son-in-law. If you add in the bonuses issued after the re-examination and final examination... it will be a terrifying figure. !”

"So much money?"

The prince was surprised and said in a cold voice: "Is Su Xian going to empty the treasury in order to recruit a son-in-law?"

Qian Zhongshu sang in harmony: "Your Highness, extravagant spending is only one aspect. According to my guess, Su Xian will definitely enrich his own pockets, and the amount of money that is greedy should be no less than 10 taels!"

"Presumptuous!" The prince was furious, and while jumping up, he slapped the table hard, making a loud bang.

"Your Highness, please calm down." Qian Zhongshu bowed and then said:

"Now is not the best time. Let Su Xian be more arrogant. The more arrogant he is, the more lies he will reveal. That is all our evidence."

"Yes." The prince nodded and slowly sat back down.

The Crown Princess was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke:
"Your Highness, Su Xian's family is rich. The monthly income from the property alone is probably no less than [-] yuan. If he is said to be greedy... I'm afraid it's impossible."

Recently, the prince has become more and more trusting of the princess, and frowned slightly when he saw this: "So what does your beloved concubine mean?"

The Crown Princess smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Even if Su Xian doesn't have to be greedy, what about his group of people? Those people don't have huge family assets."

"I understand what I mean, hahaha. Although the crime of corruption is not enough to bring down Su Xian, it can still remove his minions and severely damage his vitality!" The prince looked excited.

"Your Highness is wise." The Crown Princess and Qian Zhongshu complimented together.

"Well..." The prince nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Then when is the time for us to take action? I don't want to wait too long."

The Crown Princess smiled lightly: "Your Highness, please relax, it shouldn't take too long. Perhaps, this afternoon's re-examination will be a perfect opportunity!"

……

Miyagi.

Royal study.

The Queen is working hard on today's memorial.

Since she was going to the "Forbidden Military Academy" in the afternoon to observe the re-examination of the military talents, she would not have time to deal with government affairs in the afternoon, so the Queen planned to speed up the process in the morning.

Finally, as the sun gradually climbed higher, the mountain of memorials on the dragon case was finally cleared.

She stretched out, drank a cup of tea, got up and walked around the imperial study room to stretch her muscles.

At this time, someone outside reported: "Your Majesty, General Jinwu's left and right guards, General Qianniu's left and right guards, and General Jianmen's left and right guards would like to see you."

"Oh?"

The Queen was stunned for a moment.

The Jinwu Guards are in charge of the patrol affairs of the Imperial City, the Palace City and the Divine Capital City; the Qianniu Guards are dedicated to protecting the Queen; and the Prison Guards are in charge of all the gates of the Palace City, the Imperial City and the Divine Capital City.

Each "guard" is divided into two guards, the left and right, which add up to six guards. These six guards are the only remaining guards among the "Sixteen Guards of Nanya" who still control the military power.

It is indeed rare for the generals of the Six Guards to ask to see the Queen together.

Why, are these people trying to force her into a palace?

The queen remained calm at that moment, returned to sit on the dragon chair behind the dragon case, and solemnly commanded: "Xuan!"

Soon, six tall generals entered the royal study one after another, lined up in a row, and at the same time clasped their fists and saluted: "I will wait to see Her Majesty the Queen!"

"No gift, flat body."

"Thank you Your Majesty the Queen."

After the ceremony, the Queen looked at the six people one by one and asked curiously: "Why do you six come to see me together?"

The two generals of Jinwu Guard took a step forward and said in unison:
"Your Majesty, due to the large-scale march of the Liao army southward last year, the Jinwu Guard sent half of the soldiers northward to support...these soldiers have died on the battlefield."

"The Jinwu Guards are in charge of day and night patrols in the palace city, the imperial city, and the divine capital city. Due to the lack of half of the soldiers, they are now somewhat overwhelmed."

The Queen raised her eyebrows, suddenly feeling enlightened, and said, "So what you mean is that you want someone from me?"

General Jinwuwei paid homage:

"Your Majesty is wise. Ordinary soldiers are fine, but masters with a certain degree of martial arts are extremely scarce. In this regard, the generals are powerless and have to ask His Majesty for help."

"I understand, don't worry." The Queen nodded. The Jinwu Guards are related to the safety of the palace city, the imperial city, and the divine capital city. It is natural that they need experts.

Then, the Queen looked at the two generals of Qianniu Guard and asked: "You also come to me to ask for someone?"

The two generals took a step forward: "Your Majesty is wise, the situation of Qianniu Guard is similar to that of Jinwu Guard, and there is an urgent need for masters with certain martial arts skills."

The queen frowned again, Qianniuwei's duty is to protect her, in terms of importance, it is far more important than Jinwuwei...

At this time, the two generals of the prison gate guards also took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the prison gate guards are also in urgent need of masters with certain martial arts skills, please your majesty."

The queen nodded. The prison guards are in charge of all the gates of the palace city, the imperial city, and the divine capital city. This is also very important, especially the imperial city and the palace city. If there are no experts to guard them, how can they be safe?
Well, Jinwu Guard, Qianniu Guard, and Prison Gate Guard are all very important.

But the question is, where did the Queen assign so many experts to them?

She rubbed her brows and finally said: "I understand your request, don't worry, I will send the master to you soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the generals saluted together and then exited the imperial study room one by one.

The Queen sat in a daze for a long time on the dragon chair, thinking about it, maybe... she could recruit people from the Dragon Warrior Army.

It is true that the Longwu Army is also very important, but in terms of urgency, the Jinwu Guards, Qianniu Guards and Prison Gate Guards should be given priority.

However, just as this idea came into her mind, someone outside reported: "Your Majesty, General Long Wu, General Yan Dashan, General Yulin Left and Right, and General Shence Left and Right want to see you."

Yulin Left and Right Army, Shence Left and Right Army, and Yan Dashan's newly formed Longwu Army, a total of five armies, all belong to the "Beiya Forbidden Army".

Because the Longwu Army has just been established, it is not divided into left and right armies. When the Longwu Army grows stronger in the future, it can be called the Longwu Left and Right Army. At that time, a general will be promoted...

The Beiya Imperial Guards and the Nan Ya Sixteenth Guards together formed the "Central Imperial Army" of the Liang Dynasty, and the Central Imperial Army was directly under the emperor.

Correspondingly, there are local garrisons in various places, as well as major border armies...

What the Queen was wondering was, as soon as the six generals of Nanya left, the five generals of Beiya followed?Are these people also here to ask for help?

Without any time to speculate, the Queen was shocked and loudly ordered: "Xuan!"

Soon, Yan Dashan and other five generals arrived, and they lined up in the imperial study room to perform the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

After the ceremony, the Queen asked directly: "General Yan, are you also here to ask for someone from me?"

Yan Dashan and others were a little surprised and stepped forward to worship:

"Your Majesty is wise, but there is not much shortage of ordinary soldiers. What the generals are short of are masters with certain martial arts. With these masters, the generals can better control the generals."

"Well, I understand what you mean. Go back first and wait for my notification. I will send the master to you soon." The Queen said simply.

"Then...thank you, Your Majesty."

Yan Dashan and others were a little depressed. In order to persuade the Queen, they had prepared a lot of great truths in private, but... the Queen didn't give them a chance to use them.

But as long as the queen agrees.

Yan Dashan and others exited the Imperial Study Room much more quickly.

The queen was sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial study room, and before she could take a breath, someone outside said, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the Chief of the Prison Division, Si Kou, is asking to see you."

"Well, Xuan!" the Queen responded casually.

After a while, the young Sikou with gray hair and beard came to the imperial study room.

The old guy rambled on for a while, then finally explained his purpose: "Your Majesty, the prison chief has disappeared for a long time, and his life and death are uncertain, but our company cannot do without experts!"

The Queen raised her brows slightly and asked, "Who do you have your eye on?"

"The number one master of internal defense, Yang Zhilan!" Shao Sikou replied hurriedly.

The queen's mouth muscles twitched a few times and she rejected it: "This is impossible. Yang Zhilan is Su Aiqing's right-hand man and cannot be transferred to you."

Shao Si Kou is an old man, he was not angry at all when he saw this, but smiled and said: "Then I can only settle for the next best thing, I hope His Majesty will send more experts to our company to be fast catchers..."

The Queen frowned slightly: "Is your prison department still short of arrests? I remember... last year when the Liao army marched southward, you didn't send anyone to support it, right?"

Shao Si Kou took his time and said:
"Your Majesty, although the Criminal and Prison Department has not sent people to the north for support, this incident has led to frequent major crimes across the country, and many of the Criminal and Prison Department's detectives have been injured or killed..."

"Okay, okay." The Queen raised her forehead and waved her hand: "I understand what you mean. Just go back and wait. I will send the master to you soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave first..."

After Young Sikou left, the Queen's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled more and more tightly. What's going on?

Why is there suddenly so much demand?
She had a headache. Where could she find so many experts?

Guard!

The queen's eyes suddenly lit up.

The scale of the Internal Guard is extremely large. In addition to the core killers and spies, it also maintains a large number of "non-staff personnel." Most of these non-staff personnel do not know that they are working for the Internal Guard.

His skills are also pretty good.

There should be no problem whether he is transferred to the Jinwu Guards, Longwu Army, or the Prison Department.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came into the Queen's mind, Du Juan, the leader of the Imperial Guard, appeared in front of her.

The Queen was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked: "Du Juan, are you also looking for someone from me? Well, to be precise, you want a master?"

Du Juan wore a mask on her head and couldn't see her face clearly. She respectfully bowed to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, this is not why I came to see Your Majesty this time."

"That's good." The Queen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the method of transferring people from the inner guard was feasible.

"However, since His Majesty mentioned this, I have thought of a question." Du Juan changed the subject.

"What's the problem?" The queen's relaxed heart suddenly became tense again, and she had a vague premonition.

"Your Majesty, due to factors such as the Liao army's march south and the fight against the remnants of the previous dynasty, the inner guard suffered a large loss of masters..."

"What?!" The Queen looked surprised and glared at Du Juan and asked, "Is it possible that the internal guards are also in urgent need of experts?"

"Indeed." Du Juan replied calmly.

Queen: "..."
