Chapter 186 Early Spring in the Small Building
Zhao Tong returned home and Tong Guan came to visit in the evening. The two chatted for a long time in the study, and finally Tong Guan left with a complicated expression.
He called Zhang Xian again, looked at Xiao Lang and said, "How are you studying the art of war?"
Zhang Xian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I have understood seventy-eight percent of it."
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "But you are not ashamed of your words. You have never been on the battlefield, so you dare to say that you understand seventy-eight percent of it?"
Zhang Xian suddenly bowed his head in shame. He also wanted to go to the battlefield, but there was no chance. Even now, he didn't have a military position.
Zhao Tong thought for a while and pulled out a piece of paper from the small box, but it was the Zhi chapter of Meng De's new book.
He said: "I will pass you another article."
Zhang Xian hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and Zhao Tong said: "This article is about trying to figure out the enemy's psychology and make changes in the tactics of war. You can't do it behind closed doors. I plan to let you join the army. What do you think?"
Zhang Xian was overjoyed when he heard this: "Your Majesty, I have long wanted to join the army, but I just don't know how to say it."
Zhao Tong nodded: "In the government offices, most of them are official duties, which are far less tempered than in the army. However, there are a lot of banditry at the moment. Once you join the army, you will inevitably go to war. You have to think carefully. Fighting is not about playing house, but about your life.
Matters that matter."
Zhang Xian said: "Your Majesty, I have already thought about it. What's the point of being a government official? It's better to be in the army. If I don't join the army, won't my martial arts skills be in vain?"
Zhao Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just asking you about this first. You'll have to tell the instructor later, and I'll tell Zhenniang here as well. If you don't agree, then let it go."
Zhang Xian blinked and said, "Your Majesty, is it okay if you don't say anything?"
Zhao Tong said: "How can you not talk about such a big thing?"
Zhang Xian suddenly frowned and said: "What if I don't agree?"
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "If you don't agree, I will send you to Longyou. It's bitter and cold there, and I'm afraid they won't be able to part with you."
The next day, Zhao Tong went out of the city to organize his troops. After all, Wang Xiang wanted to draw ten commanding troops from the Palace Front Department and the Guards Department. Before and after this, he had to count the number of people and hand over the procedures. This trip took another two or three days.
In the past, it was not until Wang Xiang led his troops to leave Tokyo that things completely stopped.
By this time, it was mid-February, and Zhang Xian was thrown into command by Zhao Tu and served as deputy military envoy under the command of Dijiu of the Longwei Army. The two commanders of the Longwei Army, Dijiu and Dishi, neither went to attack Tian Hu nor to conquer.
Wang Qing is lying down in Tokyo to gain weight.
The Dragon Guard is a member of the Upper Fourth Army, with the old title of Protector of the Saints. They will not be easily sent out to fight in all directions. They are mostly focused on protecting the capital. Not only are the 38 commanders of the Dragon Guard garrisoned in the capital and have not moved, they are also the front division of the palace.
The thirty-three commanders of the Japanese army were praised, but they were not mobilized at all.
In the early morning of this day, Zhao Tong got up and opened the window. A burst of warmth hit his face. He looked at the slightly new green in the courtyard and couldn't help but feel good.
After washing up and having breakfast, he did not go to the Fusi to sit in charge. He was busy these days, so he simply stayed lazy and stayed in the Fusi for a day. As for the Fusi, it was enough to have Tan Zhen there.
Walking up the gravel path with his hands behind his back, Zhao Tong saw Lei San and his servants pruning the branches, and Hua Ding planting flower seedlings brought from outside the mansion.
Those seedlings are not big, they are green and green, and I can't tell what kind they are. As for the flower fertilizer, I don't know if it will work.
Zhao Tong wandered all the way, went to the pond to watch the fish for a while, and sat at the rockery pavilion for a while. The maid came over to bring tea. After drinking, he thought for a while and then walked to the back house.
When I came to the courtyard door on the second floor, I saw Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er busy with something. When I got closer, they were planting flowers in the small flower garden.
I saw both of them wearing short cloth clothes, wearing little boots, holding flower hoes in their hands, digging holes in the flower beds, spreading seeds, watering them, and then planting them with hoe soil. They looked quite decent.
The young lady wrapped her head with a blue and white handkerchief, and did not apply any powder. Her eyebrows were as pretty as any, and her wrists were as bright as snow. She looked even more graceful and graceful even when she was doing work.
Zhao Tong watched for a while, and the girl looked up to wipe her sweat and saw him, and her face immediately turned red.
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "You guys should rest when I'm here, otherwise what's the point of seeing you tired."
The two of them came over to see the ceremony, and the young lady asked, "Your Majesty, you are not going out today?"
Zhao Tong said: "I have been busy for a few days, so I should stay for a while. I see that the flower seedlings are being transplanted in front of me. Why are you still planting them now?"
Jin'er said from the side: "My wife collects flower seeds every year. She always likes to see these kinds of flowers, so she has to plant them again."
Zhao Tong said: "I also met him last year. Although I didn't recognize him, the fragrance was so strong that I can't forget it for a long time."
The young lady said: "Your Majesty, please sit down and I will make tea for you."
Zhao Tong nodded, turned around and took a look at the bluestone bench outside the flower garden, but it was dusty. Jin'er said: "Your Majesty, let me wipe it for you."
Zhao Tong thought for a while, said nothing, looked at the door of the small building, and walked slowly over.
The door of the small building was open at this time, and the sunlight was shining in. He vaguely saw the young lady washing her hands in the water, and then walked towards the back. He couldn't help but step on the wooden steps and walked into the building.
He has never been here before. When the young lady moved here, she had to take care of it with maids, but now it looks like a rigid and orderly layout.
There is a wooden staircase at the end of the entrance, which can go up to the second floor. The first floor looks like a small hall, there are not many furnishings, and it is a bit unpretentious.
There is a wooden door on the side, which is probably where the east kitchen is. When the young lady goes inside, she should be boiling water and making tea.
Zhao Tong also went over, and when he looked in front of the door, he saw that the girl was cutting tea cakes with a wooden knife. Her fingers were slender and white, and against the brown color, they were as warm as jade.
Zhao Tong walked over with a smile. When the girl heard the voice and looked up, she suddenly looked a little panicked: "Your Majesty, you..."
Zhao Tong walked up to her and went to hold her hand. The tea knife fell to the ground with a "clack". The girl's body trembled, and she lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, I, I still want to make tea." Reading Comprehensive
Zhao Tong said: "I just finished drinking, just stay here."
The girl didn't move, and the room was silent for a while. For a moment, a faint heartbeat could be heard.
The two of them stood face to face like this. Zhao Tong held Xiao Niang's hand. Xiao Niang lowered her head and felt that her heart was going to burst. She was a little scared and felt that she had done something wrong, but she was also very happy and felt that she was actually doing something wrong at this moment.
She was so at ease, and this contradictory feeling made her feel a little helpless.
She couldn't help but slightly raised her head to look at Zhao Tong, who was also looking at her. At this time, the blue and white veil on her head had not been taken off, and even her body was stained with some soil from planting flowers. She suddenly felt that this was too shameful and rude.
, I want to break free from that hand, but there is no way I can break free.
Zhao Tong looked at her with a smile, and the young lady looked into his eyes. She couldn't help but feel more and more panicked, and her face became hotter. At this moment, Jin'er shouted from outside: "Your Majesty, I've wiped the pier... Hey, Your Majesty, go ahead."
Where is it?"
When the young lady heard this, she was immediately startled. She tried her best to pull out her hand and walked out. Unexpectedly, she tripped on the wooden tea knife and fell forward. Zhao Tong stretched out his hand to catch her and said: "Be careful."

The little girl didn't dare to answer, she just felt a trance in her mind and could only go outside...
