There are often unsatisfactory things in life, and most of the time, this is irreversible. There is no distinction between high and low, and the superiors who set up elegant halls are like this. It is better to be a farmer who is worried and busy in life every day.

Di Zhi was fast all the way, and his heart was mixed, so why could anyone not care?

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and there is no descendant.

When he went south alone to make a living, his father, who had worked hard all his life, told him that if he did not have the ability to make a living, he would go back to pass on the family line. If he had done his job, he would have to pass on the family line before the twenty-three years to be worthy of his ancestors.

He is a farmer child. He thought that relying on his ability to do it was the ultimate goal, but he didn't expect to meet the prince by chance.

At first I thought it was a disaster that I couldn't avoid, but I didn't expect it to be his greatest blessing in his life.

Since meeting the prince, he has gone from Xiaodutou to the army commander (du, camp, army, wing, xx army), deputy commander, wing commander, and deputy commander of the new army...

Di Zhi didn't dare to think that in just two years he would have reached this point. I am afraid that the prince's kindness to him will never be able to repay him in his lifetime. And it is not just fame and power, but the prince's treatment of him made him feel respect and attention that he had never seen before.

Whether the army was in danger, it was not easy to deal with when entering and leaving the palace, whether it was not a matter of being a guest, or about Prince Kang, the prince actually wanted to let him make the decision himself, even if it was such a big deal.

Di Zhi originally thought that as long as he was the prince to charge forward and behind the horse, he would be his greatest reward, but gradually, he understood what a dilemma of loyalty and filial piety has been since ancient times.

There was a little dampness in his eyes. He understood what it would be like to marry a princess like him. The princess himself is a first-rate, he is just a fourth-rate warrior and will have no right to speak at home.

In fact, since ancient times, the prince-consort and county horses have always been like this. If they have a good family background, if they don’t have one, they just think they have found a place for the royal daughter.

Di Zhi understood this consequence, but if this could help the prince, he would not refuse.

When the horse arrived on the dusty training ground, it was probably because the wind and sand were too strong, and the corners of the eyes were wet and there was no trace.

The personal guard led his horse for him and asked him whether he had anything to do or not.

Di Zhi laughed and scolded: "It's all your business. Could you take advantage of me to get away from training by giving me the opportunity to lead a horse?"

"No, the general was joking." The personal soldier laughed.

Di Zhi kicked him and cursed, "If you don't hurry up, I won't know your little thoughts."

The personal soldiers left with a smile, and then he put away his smile. As a general, he could not let his negative emotions infect the soldiers at any time. He understood this principle, and an optimistic army would always dare to face life and death more.

......

The matter has been agreed upon, and the next thing is to ask who will learn it.

In the evening, Jiao imitated the chef of Tingyulou to cook old duck soup for him. Everyone tasted it and thought it was good.

Gillian was very happy and was so excited that she said she would do it tomorrow. Li Xingzhou quickly stopped her and asked her to try changing the dish.

Under the moon, Li Xingzhou and a few little girls sat around the pavilion and told them stories. The stories he told were messy and everything, from the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms to Journey to the West, there were all kinds of famous stories in later generations. As long as you think of them, there were always endless things to say.

Several little girls were fascinated by the hearing. Qiu'er held his arm and slowly leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep.

She was too busy. After more than a month of hard polishing, some craftsmen in the royal palace had to finish polishing the boring tool. At this time, the steam engine must be in place. Even if the technical indicators are not met, it would be fine. After all, if there is no steam engine, the existence of the boring tool would be meaningless.

So Qiu'er has also led the craftsmen to get busy these days...

However, what disappointed Li Xingzhou was that there were more than 20 craftsmen who came to hear the news, and they were all arranged to use their wisdom to polish boring knives day and night in the back mountain of the royal palace. There seemed to be no top craftsmen who may have surpassed the royal palace craftsmen.

He gently took Qiu'er back to the house and placed it in place, and then told everyone that he would send someone to learn the glassmaking technique from Grandma Qi.

Unexpectedly, the little girl Yue'er was the first to raise her hand to say she wanted to go. Gillian also said she wanted to go. She looked yearning and pulled his arm to act coquettishly: "I was actually very curious about those things at home before, but my father said it was a skill and he was not allowed to even look at it..."

Making glass is no more than other craftsmanship. Blowing glass is more about skillfulness, not physical work, but does not mean safety.

When blowing, the glazed glue remains at a high temperature of hundreds of degrees, and you will be at risk of burns if you accidentally touch it.

Of course, Li Xingzhou was worried and explained the pros and cons to the two little girls, but they had no intention of giving up.

Shiyu also said to the tune: "Although I don't know what you want to use those glasses, it is definitely not a trivial matter to see your actions. It is better to be supervised by Gillian's sister. Only in this way can you feel at ease. Whether you study or not is not the key."

She said so, and Li Xingzhou had to let go.

Then he instructed Gillian and Yue'er to choose people in the palace, and to choose young ones, five men and women, and preferably the old subordinates of King Xiao.

The two little girls were very happy.

Li Xingzhou's palace was not very far from Prince Kang's palace, but the next day Shiyu arranged a carriage and horse for them. Gillian and Yue'er took the same carriage, and the rest of them rode three together.

In the next month, they will go back and forth to Prince Kang's mansion to learn the glass blowing process.

.........

Time flies, and it is already early March without realizing it. The emperor takes the lead and all civil and military officials are listed north of the city.

Flags were waving, and large armies were lined up, and black people were lined up at the foot of the hunting mountain, without any sign of sight from south to north.

There are many guns and spears, and the blackness gives people a sense of depression. Guandaoshan is a large army ready to set off, and these are just the Shenwu Army under the command of the vanguard, the general of the auxiliary country, and the central army marshal Yang Hongzhao.

The Lingjie Army under the command of Wei Chaoren, the governor of Guanbei, was one wing; the prefect of Taiyuan, led the army under the command of the military commander Yang Wenguang, the Wu Lie Army under the command of the military commander Yang Wenguang.

Li Xingzhou looked at Yang Hongzhao, Wei Chaoren and Yang Wenguang from afar in the crowd and knelt on one knee in front of the emperor, took the wine from the emperor, and then the emperor gave the emperor a sword and the commander-in-chief of the army.

The arrangement is actually very backstory. The Lingjie Army should have fought the most wars among the four imperial guards, and it was also the army brought out by Prince Xiao at that time. Prince Xiao and Wei Chaoren were family friends and fought in Guanbei together, so it was the best to hand over the Lingjie Army to Wei Chaoren's jurisdiction.

Yang Hongzhao was in Beijing all year round, and the Shenwu Army was also responsible for defending Kyoto. When the south suppressed the rebellion, it was most appropriate to hand over the Shenwu Army to him.

Then, sacrifice to the sky, sacrifice to the flag, and then the drum sounds, and the auspicious time comes, and the army sets out for war!

As the forward invited the commander's flag, the mighty army officially set off.

Li Xingzhou and the officials watched the team leave slowly, and they were actually nervous. This battle will affect the fate of Jingguo. Everyone will be happy if they win. If they lose...

He had to carefully consider the consequences. If the Jin people went south, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the country was destroyed, the family was destroyed, how could the royal palace be preserved?

Until the army flags disappeared in the vast mountains in the north and could no longer be seen, the emperor ordered everyone to go back.

Before leaving, the emperor called him to his side and said to him: "The news that the Tanglong Town was captured by the Xia Kingdom had already arrived at the Privy Council. The reason why I hid it was because I was afraid of delaying the army's expedition. What do you think should you do now?"
