The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter [-] Struggling for Breakfast

It's been another ten days, and now the recruits have been able to line up neatly to complete the basic formation movements of walking, running, turning left and right in place, and turning backwards, but many of them have also been whipped by the prince, but everyone is very supportive Admire him, the strength of the beating is just right, although the whip hurts you to the marrow, but it can't hurt your muscles and bones, and the next day you can still be whipped alive, making everyone suspect that the prince is not specially trained

At the end of the day's training, Zhao Tong had dinner and took a shower. Being able to take a shower in a private room is the only privilege Zhao Tang can enjoy now. After all, exposing himself naked in front of everyone will not only damage the prince's "mighty" image, Before his prestige was fully established at this stage, he also lost his sense of mystery in front of the recruits.

Zhao Tun stretched his waist, sat at the table and looked at the recent residence newspapers sent by Jianxi, "September Renwu, change Taiwei to Guanwu rank."Guiwei, Zheng San Gong and San Gu Guan.Change the servant to Zuofu, the middle order to Youbi, the left and right servants to be Taizai and Shaozai, and Shangling should be dismissed.Yisi in winter and October, got jade and jade among the people. '

"Hey, I've started messing around again. If I have this free time, I might as well stay here for two days to exercise." Zhao Tang sighed after reading it, and threw the mansion newspaper aside.His emperor's father only set up the bureau of etiquette two months ago, and within a few days, the reform document was issued. The action is really fast, but this fast one is really not the place.With this change now, it is uncertain how many people will become white-collar workers, how much the old cadres will increase their temporary job subsidies, how many families of ordinary people will be destroyed and displaced, and how much fresh blood will be added to the hills. Play yourself to death." Zhao Tong has nothing to do about this, and now it is the level of complaints.

From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Song Dynasty practiced the rule of law and military affairs, and the separation of powers, resulting in numerous government agencies, many officials, and many orders.Later, in order to give preferential treatment to students and expand the scope of the selection of scholars, the Tang Dynasty admitted three to 40 Jinshi each time, and the Song Dynasty often had four to 500 people, and the state allocated them. There are not a few of them every year.In addition, in the case of Jia Zhao Tong, the dynasty favored the clan and trusted disciples, and granted officials at will. Boys in the clan of the dynasty can be awarded officials at the age of seven, and some even have official ranks when they are babies, and receive salaries. Thousands of dollars a year Tens of thousands of people poured into the bureaucratic ranks, and the national treasury was emptied by these people. One year of Zhao Tang's strenuous tossing was enough to pay half a month's salary for the officials in Beijing.

After so many years of accumulation, a lot of "talent" has been stored, and it is okay to work with more people. But in the Song Dynasty, an official and a job are two different things. An official is a false name. It is called Jiluguan, which is used to indicate a certain level and salary, just like now At the department level and department level, the position is to manage specific affairs, called a staff officer. Now because there are so many officials, many staff officers don’t care about specific affairs. Only officials who are specially assigned to be in charge of something have something to do. There are actual positions, it is really "there are seven or eight people who live in their official positions and don't know their positions".The result is the same as now, eighty people earn an official, the old ones are unwilling to make space, and the young ones want to climb up, so everyone has to run for the official position, and the business can only be let go.

"Second Master, are you still angry about today's training?" Xin Zhao brought him a cup of tea, seeing that Zhao Tun's expression was not good, and asked cautiously.

"No, I'm worried about the future of the Great Song Dynasty. Right now, everyone in the court only cares about what kind of official they can be, and how much money they can afford to be an official, but they don't want to think about the powerful enemies around them, and the people in the country. Where is there any hope for Song?" Zhao Tong said a little excitedly.

"Second Lord, you are the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and no matter how much you toss about in the court, you won't be in the way of your affairs, so why be angry?" Xin Zhao persuaded.

"It is precisely because I am the prince, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, that I feel ashamed. Think about my great country, with a population of nearly [-] million, and the imperial army is said to be one million, but I have to pay Xixia and Liaobang every year. The traitors and sycophants in the court are in power, but I have no power to clean up the emperor, and let them bewitch the emperor to make large-scale construction projects, waste money and food, and make the sky angry and the people resentful." At this time, Zhao Tuo was not excited but furious.

"My lord, don't think so much, now who in our mansion doesn't miss your kindness, don't pick up the roads here, live and work in peace and contentment, they all say that we are a paradise." Seeing the lord's face livid, Xin Zhao knew that he was really angry. Hastily relieved him, but there was a stir in his heart. Although the prince is young, he has great ambitions.

"Hehe, Xanadu? Just because the world is peaceful and people are rich, how can we call this corner of our country 'Taoyuan'? Everyone misses me, I'm afraid that in this yard, even you hate me so much." "Tama Zhao said with a wry smile.

"My lord, how do you know?" Xin Zhao said in surprise, then realized that he had said the wrong thing, waved his hand and said in panic: "No, no??? Everyone says that the lord makes everyone eat well, dress well, and is the world's leader. The best prince”

"Hehe, you have also learned to speak insincerely. Now I torment them like this every day, with punches, kicks, and whips. They don't hate me. It's hell. But in a few days, they won't scold me anymore. "Tama Zhao was amused by Xin Zhao's appearance, jokingly said.

"Why? Could it be that the prince will stop beating and scolding us from tomorrow, and still treat us as well as before?" Xin Zhao's eyes lit up, and he said smartly.

"No, but starting from tomorrow I will be more ruthless to you and make you hate me even more, but I promise you will have a day when you won't scold me." Zhao Tama said seriously, shaking a finger in front of Xin Zhao.

"Ah?" Xin Zhao opened his mouth wide and looked at the prince in a daze. He didn't expect that he had such a plan. Did he hold a grudge because we scolded him?

"Don't think about it, remember what I said, the instructor who won't let the soldiers hate him is not a good instructor, but when they go to the battlefield one day, he will be grateful for everything I have done to them today" Zhao Tong said from the cabinet He took out a bottle of wound medicine and handed it to Xin Zhao, "Go and rub some medicine on the few people who were beaten today, but don't tell them that I gave it to them, I'm afraid that once they appreciate me, they won't be able to do it when they beat them."

"Oh" Xin Zhao hadn't digested the prince's words, he mechanically took the medicine bottle in his hand, and saw that the prince was out to deliver the medicine, but what the prince said just now kept echoing in his mind.

Now if you want to say who is most respected by everyone in this yard, the answer is definitely not Zhao Tang, nor is it any gang leader, but this Xin Zhao, no matter who is beaten, he will send them wound medicine.Whoever is hungry will secretly leave a meal for them??? Zhao Tong watched him out of the house, the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing an invisible smile.

The team that was going out for exercises at Maoshi was already standing on the playground. Now the days are short and the nights are long, the sky is still dark, and there is still a waning moon hanging in the sky. "These days, everyone has mastered the basic essentials of queue movements. Do queue training, and from now on, we will only do queue training at noon???" Zhao Tun looked at the pair of shining eyes in the dark and said, before he finished speaking, there was a burst of anger in the queue, don't ask everyone Tired of boring leg lifts and kicks.

"Now the weather is getting colder every day. In order to prevent everyone from catching a cold, we changed our morning exercises to physical training. From now on, everyone can go back to eat after running six laps around the playground in the morning exercises. Those who finish running first eat first, and those who finish running last eat later." , the last five people have nothing to eat, from now on, there is no need to maintain formation," Zhao Tong shouted.

"Ah?" "Hiss???" There was a mess of noises in the queue, this prince is too ruthless, six laps are more than ten miles away, if you want to run down in one go, the last one has nothing to eat, it's too ruthless But when they saw that the prince had finished warming up by twisting his waist and stretching his legs, he began to trot, and made gestures or glanced at each other and nodded. Everyone understood the meaning, and they had had enough of the prince these days. I'm so angry, I want to pay back today, just to let the prince have nothing to eat

Today, I finally seized the opportunity to take revenge on this tyrant. Everyone held their breath and rushed forward, one, two, three, four??? The teenagers passed Zhao Tan one by one, and came down in a circle. He was around forty.After three laps, everyone's footsteps slowed down. Now there are more than 40 princes who have not moved, and there are about ten people behind him, and the one in front has fallen behind them by more than half a lap.

"Hey, these boys want to see Lao Tzu's jokes." Zhao Tong cursed inwardly, but he really admired the physical strength of these young people, especially those newcomers. Don't think they haven't done this kind of training, but they themselves I was engaged in physical labor when I was young, and there are no buses, trains or airplanes when I go out these days, and horses are not affordable for everyone. I rely on my two feet when I go out. The phalanx is full of them.

On the other hand, Zhao Ren and his group, although their physical strength is not bad, but their range of activities is small, there are only a few Zhuangzi on the left and right, and they have not done heavy physical labor in the past few years, but they still move around every day anyway, and follow the nursing home when they have nothing to do. They practiced a few fists and kicks, and now they can still keep up with the newcomer.In the end, apart from Zhao Tama, they are the little Huangmen from the Inner Mansion. It is considered a long journey for them to go out of the mansion, but there are not many opportunities for this, and they can’t make it two or three times a year. It's not that after practicing for more than half a month now, I can't run three laps.

On the fifth lap, the distance was even greater, and the team of more than 50 people formed a circle intermittently. Although the new boy was also tired and out of breath at this time, he was full of energy and wanted to express his heart. bad breath. "Brother??? Brother, try harder, you can pass the captain by running a few steps." Xu Biao was beaten for the past few days. Today, he has been running at the forefront, and he chased the little yellow gate at the end of the team. Pat him on the shoulder and said.

Now it was the last lap, Zhao Tong looked behind him, he was still in the top eight, but the bottom one.There are less than half of the people left in the arena, saying that they are running is flattering them, everyone is trying their best to walk, and everyone does not want to be hungry! Although Zhao Tong is also panting heavily, he still takes small steps. Bouncing unhurriedly, hanging two steps behind No.9 from the bottom, two steps faster than the seventh from the bottom.

"Zhao Xiao, hurry up, the captain is going to pass you!" Xu Biao and others who had already reached the finish line had already caught their breath, and shouted anxiously, "Laifu, you can't hurry up, keep going!" Let's talk." They said this and persuaded that, but they just ignored Zhao Tun, it seemed that they hated him long ago.

Zhao Xiao, who heard the shout, was out of breath now. Hearing the shout, he turned his head and took a look, and took a few steps back, maintaining the two-step advantage over the prince. Laifu also came after hearing everyone's encouragement With strength, he covered his stomach with one hand, pinched his waist with the other hand, struggled forward a few steps, and finally passed the prince with Zhao Xiao, and Zhao Tun dropped another place in the ranking.

"Quanfu, Xifu, now one of you two must be starving, run a few more steps, and you will have something to eat after passing the captain??" Xu Biao was tireless because he was afraid that the prince would be able to eat breakfast. He was persuading the penultimate sixth and fifth with the presence, and he didn't look tired at all.

"You???" Quan Fu's mouth trembled for a long time, and he didn't say anything ugly. He felt out of breath now, but his feet were still a little faster, and he surpassed Xi Fu and the prince in one fell swoop, and was a step ahead. .

"Xifu, it's up to you now. There are less than ten steps ahead. If you slow down, you will have nothing to eat." Xu Biao was scratching his head in anxiety, wishing to replace him and finish the remaining few steps for him. step.

It's a pity that Xifu's physical strength has been used to the limit, and he has more energy than energy. After several efforts, he still lost to the prince by two steps, and stepped into the ranks of people who have nothing to eat. His experience immediately aroused everyone's sympathy. Condemn him for not running a few steps quickly, is it because he has served the prince and deliberately released water, making Xifu as if he committed a capital crime, crying bitterly and expressing that he will work hard tomorrow and be resolute to the prince.

The blatant provocation seems to have angered the prince. The queue training in the afternoon not only increased the amount of exercise, but also started to learn the most difficult step. The posture is not counted, and he was whipped twice.The queue training in the afternoon was also canceled and changed to physical training, such as duck step, single-leg hop, leapfrog, high leg lift??? He is a tosser who changes tricks. They were all carried out of bed by the gang leader.

The prince's crazy revenge not only failed to extinguish the flames of anger, but instead aroused even greater fighting spirit like fuel on the fire.The next day's morning exercise, Xu Biao did not lead the race, but followed closely behind the prince, pulling the people behind to let them pass the prince one by one, until there were only five people left behind, and the prince seemed to have noticed something was wrong , always keeping himself in the seventh-to-last position.

"Hurry up, Xu Biao, no matter how slow you are, you won't be able to keep up with the heat of eating shit." The end was coming soon, and the people watching the battle were in a hurry. Xu Biao dragged Xifu and Quanfu to start the final sprint, but Unexpectedly, in the last few steps, the prince suddenly stepped up and passed them.Xu Biao was taken aback, dropped the two of them, jumped over the finish line first, and saved his meal ticket, but his plan fell through again, and he was charged with dishonesty.

Xu Biao was so angry that he didn't even think about training all day, and the result can be imagined.On the morning of the third day, he decided to change his tactics, and only took one person with him to follow the prince, resolutely trying to prevent him from having breakfast.This time, Zhao Tun still maintained his position. When the finish line was approaching, Xu Biao started to sprint with Quan Fu.Today, Quan Fu learned the lesson from the previous time, and when he was close to the finish line, he threw off Xu Biao's towing belt, and insisted on finishing the remaining few steps by himself. At the moment of crossing the line, the prince suddenly added the two of them to cross the line first , and pulled Quanfu over, put Xu Biao, who had worked hard for a long time, together, and kicked him off the last train.

Standing in the cafeteria and watching everyone drinking hot porridge, eating steaming meat buns, and chewing pickles, Xu Biao's eyes turned red after being calculated, and he was determined to take revenge one after another The failure made him start to use his brain. He knew that if he still "helped" the backward tomorrow, the result would not be much better than today. This prince is too bad, so he decided to find a helper.Unexpectedly, he still miscalculated the next day. He only thought about himself and forgot that Xiao Huangmen, who hadn't had breakfast for the past few days, was struggling to improve. Loyalty, I can only watch the cooked duck fly away, and even hurt a friend

The lord seems to be annoyed by the continuous "scheming", not only the afternoon physical training, but also an hour before going to bed, let them do "push-ups" and "sit-ups" in the house, those who have never heard of it stuff.It's all right now, a few days ago it was leg pain and back pain, now not only those places are still hurting, but even the arms and lower abdomen are starting to hurt

Crazy revenge has led to even greater backlash. Now Xu Biao is not the only one who is keen on this matter. The entire guard team seems to have forgotten what their purpose of participating in the training is, and they all joined the ranks of dealing with the prince, but for more than ten days. I haven't succeeded once, but everyone has discovered that the potential of people is really infinite. Now it's not just the weak little Huangmen who can't eat, but they have started to take turns to sit in the village. The prince has not made any progress, and he is still in the bottom position. Give everyone endless motivation.

Sometimes it is difficult for people to extricate themselves once they get into the horns, but now a group has got into it. It seems that it doesn't matter whether they eat breakfast or not, but it is everyone's common desire to let the prince lose once.Although they are as tired as dead dogs every day, a group of people still seize all the time to study tactics together, and regard this as the top priority. The bitterness and tiredness of training will only arouse their higher enthusiasm???

"My lord, can you really only run so fast?" That night, Zhao Tun helped Xin Zhao take off his boots and put him on the bed. Xin Zhao couldn't help asking curiously. The amount of exercise is even better than them, but he can still get up on time in the middle of the night to check the sentry, check the shop, and sometimes light the fire, without delaying a single thing.

"Hehe, what do you think?" Zhao Tang smiled and did not answer.
