Chapter 966: The Magnificent Power of Han (Ninety)

Jicheng, royal palace, back garden.

During this season, the back garden was originally the time when the flowers were in full bloom and the fragrance was overwhelming. Countless rare and unique flower species were originally planted here, but since Gao Yuan came, these famous flowers have been dug up without mercy. , transplanted to some inconspicuous corners, and the back garden covering an area of ​​dozens of acres was transformed into a martial arts school ground. This result made Ye Jing'er and especially Ning Xin sigh for a long time, but this matter, they are The one who couldn't defeat Gao Yuan was He Lanyan. As soon as he came back from Jishi City, he was overjoyed when he saw the school ground. He realized that there would be a place for horse racing in the future. He was so excited that he immediately took the horse and galloped around the martial arts field for several laps.

Gao Yuan knew that after he ascended to this position, his chances of going to the battlefield would be almost gone. If he didn't have a place to stretch his muscles at home, he would be bored to death.

At this time, he was sparring with his bodyguard commander Ye Weiyuan. There were constant shouts and shouts on the field. Facing Gao Yuan, Ye Weiyuan couldn't protect himself even though he tried his best, let alone give in. He was killed by Gao Yuan. Back and forth, sweating profusely.

With a bang, He Weiyuan managed to hold up Gao Yuan's oncoming knife. He could no longer control his figure and took a few steps back. He sat on the ground with his buttocks on his back, fell to his back, and stood up with a face full of shame. , "The king is brave, but the general is no match for me."

Gao Yuan inserted the knife on the ground, walked back to the side and sat down. Ye Jing'er next to him handed over a towel and wiped his hands casually. Gao Yuan looked at He Weiyuan with a smile and said: "Your skills are not bad anymore, the problem is that you have never been I have never been on the battlefield, nor have I experienced a life-and-death fight, so I am far behind in experience against the enemy. There are many things that you simply cannot understand without experiencing the test of life and death. You can perform like this now, which is already very good. It’s beyond my expectation.”

"Wei Yuan's self-awareness has also improved a lot, mainly because he often fights with the king. If he loses a lot, he will naturally learn a lot." He Weiyuan said sincerely. When Gao Yuan talked about this, his little heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but move. Going to the battlefield was something he had always longed for. Unfortunately, from the day he joined the army, he was assigned to Gao Yuan as a bodyguard. In two years, he had been promoted to the commander of the bodyguards, which was Shangguan Hong's previous position. , it can be said that he has a high position, but he has always regretted that he has never been on the battlefield. His brother He Weigao is in the Young Guards and is now a cavalry battalion commander of the Second Division. Compared with his promotion speed, , He Weigao is naturally far different, but every time the two brothers meet, He Weigao talks about the battles on the battlefield and the wandering between life and death, and He Weiyuan salivates. Then look at the criss-cross scars on He Weigao's body. , He Weiyuan was even more envious.

Military merit is the most important thing in the Han army. Even though He Weiyuan is in a high position, he has no military merit. In front of several field army officers, he unconsciously feels that he is inferior. Scars are the medals of Han army soldiers. When soldiers gather together, they have no military merit. A few scars are not a glorious thing.

Sipping slowly, Ye Jing'er handed over the fragrant tea. Looking at He Weiyuan's eagerness to try, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Why, you also want to try your skills on the battlefield?"

He Weiyuan nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Wei Yuan indeed has this idea."

"It's not impossible to want to go. Soldiers always have more value when they step on the battlefield. But don't worry. This battle will always have to be fought. I haven't found the right manpower here yet. I'll wait until I find the right one. If someone takes your place, I will naturally send you out. I will not keep you tied to me." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I have the same heart as you."

As soon as Gao Yuan finished speaking, Ye Jing'er on the side already sounded a warning: "Brother Gao, you can't worry about this. There are so many powerful generals in the ranks now. If you, the king, still need to go into battle in person, then What else do you need them to do?”

Gao Yuan coughed twice, "That's not what I said. Didn't King Qin Wulie personally lead his army and mount Hangu Pass to fight for his life?"

"He was forced to have no choice but to risk his own life with the country. I only hope that this situation will never happen to us in the Han Dynasty!" Ye Jing'er said sternly.

"Okay, okay, my good Jing'er, I understand." Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and waved his hands to apologize, turning to look at He Weiyuan, "By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, the Young Guards Army was expanded into the Guards Corps , the original four divisions were directly upgraded to the army. Your brother He Weigao was also promoted to one level this time and became the commander of a cavalry regiment under He Laowen, commanding three thousand cavalry! I think this time your uncle will definitely There’s going to be a big feast at home again!”

"We, the He family, have been cared for and cultivated by the king. Wei Yuan is extremely grateful." He Weiyuan said sincerely.

"You are wrong. Whether it is your uncle He Dayou, you, or your brother He Weigao, you all achieved glory with your own merits. Where is the law of our Han army? If you have no merit, I will Even if you want to be promoted to an official position, you will have to be rejected by the people below, so no need to thank you, this is what you deserve."

"Okay, stop talking. Look at Wei Yuan. He is dripping with sweat and his clothes are dirty. Ask him to wash it first and change his clothes!" Ye Jing'er tugged in annoyance. Gao Yuan, the difference in martial arts between the two is too great. Gao Yuan is basically unscathed. Shangguan Hong, Yang Dasha, and even Guo Laowen, who used to train with Gao Yuan, are much better than He Weiyuan. Even if Gao Yuan wants to defeat them , it also took a lot of effort, especially that Yang Dasha, when he started fighting with Gao Yuan, he roared and shouted as if he had encountered an enemy. In the past, every time I saw Gao Yuan and Yang Dasha fighting against each other, I would always fight him. Jing'er was frightened when she saw it, because Gao Yuan liked this Yang Dasha the most. Now that it was He Weiyuan, Ye Jing'er felt more at ease.

"Go, go!" Gao Yuan laughed and said, "Wei Yuan, when you have nothing to do, go to Yang Dasha more often and practice with him more. It will be good for your improvement."

Looking at He Weiyuan's back, Ye Jing'er poured another cup of tea for Gao Yuan, "You are pushing him into the fire pit. It would be weird if he went to sparring with that stupid big guy Yang Dasha and didn't get broken bones." .”

"Wei Yuan's kung fu is not bad, he just lacks some experience. It will be good for him to spar with a murderous guy like Yang Dasha a few times." Gao Yuan said disapprovingly. "Yang Dasha will have a sense of proportion. Yes." Come on, haven’t Yanzi and Xin’er come back yet?”

"You're still talking!" Ye Jing'er sat down and looked at Gao Yuan, "Third sister, you have to take care of her. Look at what she has done to this palace. She rides a horse and performs martial arts every day before dawn. Galloping on the field, the sound of hooves was like thunder. Many people in this palace came to me to complain. Also, she got a pony from somewhere, and one day, while I was away, she actually helped Zhiyuan onto the horse. , taught Zhiyuan how to ride a horse without even looking at Zhiyuan. He was only a little older. What would happen if he fell and got bumped? She herself often held Mingzhi in her arms and ran away. Mingzhi was such a little villain, but he was I can’t bear the bumps!”

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "It's my fault. She and I are used to being on the battlefield. No matter how loud the hoofbeats are, we can still sleep. By the way, she put a lot of thought into that pony." This kind of horse doesn't grow very big. It stays this big in its lifetime. It's a rare breed and has a docile temperament. It can't fall far away. Jing'er, our son, we can't let him become a flower in the greenhouse without going through wind and rain. , How can you see a rainbow, and how can you thrive without some hardships? I don’t want my son to be incapable of writing or martial arts in the future."

"I understand what you mean, but they are too young!" Ye Jing'er said angrily: "But the two children are also too young. Yanzi's temper is too wild and must be controlled."

"You are the boss of the harem, you have the final say on this matter, I don't care." Gao Yuan chuckled, "The two of them have been gone for such a long time and haven't come back. It seems that the discussion today is not going well!"

"Brother, is it really possible for you to organize this council meeting?" Ye Jing'er looked at Gao Yuan worriedly, "This has been unheard of before. If you obey the boss, won't you be afraid of losing your power and being ignored?"

"What? Isn't this good?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Wouldn't I have more time to accompany you? Let them do all the nonsense. As for me, I can just be the referee in the end. "

"Brother, I'm worried..." Ye Jing'er hesitated before speaking.

"I know what you are worried about!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "Jing'er, whose hands is the army? It's in my hands. It doesn't matter if they bully or make trouble. As the saying goes, political power comes from the barrel of a gun, as long as the army is firmly in control As long as the land is in my hands, nothing can happen. Some things will be better if we quarrel and argue."

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, Ye Jing'er closed her mouth.

This so-called council was created by Gao Yuansheng. Each county and state has some members in proportion to the population. These members have no actual power, but they can review various bills proposed by the council. If they cannot have one-third If more than two members vote, it cannot be implemented. This is the first term of members. Basically, they are recommended by local officials. It is still far from the popular election that Gao Yuan expected. Of course, the rush of time is also one of the reasons. , the Council is already drafting a plan for the selection of members, but the election will not start until two years later. Members are elected every three years, so this is the first term, so we can only make do with it.

What we are reviewing today is next year's budget proposed by the council. It involves money and the development of various places throughout next year. Naturally, this meeting will not be easy. The quarrel is still light. If there is no fight, it will be good. , Gao Yuan looked at the people elected from various places, and quite a few of them were guys with military merit. These people may have retired from the military, or they may have military backgrounds. Which of these people have good tempers? (To be continued)
