Jincheng is the capital of Dai State and is also an important northern town. It is dozens of miles away from the Great Wall. After passing the pass, you can reach Mayi City outside the border. One inside and one outside depend on each other. The emperor and his party arrived one day earlier than the estimated time and had to wait for 50,000 northern troops here.

While crossing a bridge, Han Ruzi rode a horse up to a nearby hill to observe his troops.

After being scolded, Liu Jie of the Central Secretary was very ashamed. The next day he gave the emperor an idea: "Your Majesty wants to select people, so he must first use people. If you want to choose a person, you must use people first. If you are in the imperial examination and military marching, you can further try out those who can stand out in these two things. Then you can see if he is recommended by his colleagues and superiors and those who are praised by his colleagues can be entrusted with important tasks. This is what Emperor Wu did. As far as I know, the previous emperor's plan for selecting people is roughly like this."

Han Ruzi felt that Liu Jie's words were very reasonable, so he ordered the powerful children of Yiwei Camp to take turns to command the march, especially when crossing the bridge and crossing the mountains, he wanted to see if the team was neat and orderly. In contrast, the thousand elite soldiers led by Fan Chuanshan were compared.

Fan Chushan is more brave and has insufficient strategy, but he is born in a ranks and has very rich experience. It is no problem to march. He is also under his command, and the soldiers selected by the two armies of the South and North have changed their teams quickly and naturally, and they can pass through the narrow bridge without any reduction.

In comparison, the Yiwei Camp was a little worse. Because the soldiers were intricate and they were not convinced, no one was willing to give way. They had several disputes at the bridgehead. More than a dozen powerful children who were on the rotation command did not dare to order directly, so they could only persuade them back and forth, but finally did not cause too much chaos.

Han Ruzi on the hill saw this and rejected the powerful and powerful children first. Military generals are different from civil officials. If they don’t even dare to do the supervisor during the march, they will inevitably be hesitant to the battlefield, which will lead to the opportunity to fight.

But these powerful and powerful children who accompanied him were not useless. In the past few days, he had already taken a fancy to several people and had already kept them in mind. He planned to finish them all and continue to test them.

According to the practice of the Great Chu, civil officials of the fifth rank or above were basically from Jinshi. A noble family could learn literature, and fewer promising prospects were. The main way out was to join the army. According to their own status and their own contribution, they were promoted much faster than ordinary soldiers. Han Ruzi could only select generals from them first.

There will be an exam in Beijing next spring. Han Ruzi decided to select more talents at that time and slowly cultivate qualified civil officials.

Ten years later, he thought that in just ten years, he could make Da Chu look like he could, and even if he could not restore his strength as Emperor Wu, he would not be shaky.

Ambition arose in Han Ruzi's heart, hoping that time would pass faster, Cui Teng beside her suddenly laughed, "Look, Your Majesty."

Cui Teng had been tested for a long time. Like everyone else, he didn't understand the emperor's intentions. He thought it was just fun and powerful, but his command was a mess. The emperor did not scold him, and he didn't care, let alone he had lost the opportunity to stand alone.

For Cui Teng's loyalty and the queen's face, Han Ruzi decided to keep Cui Teng by her side, which just happened to form a check and balance with King Donghai.

The East China Sea Kingdom was lost, and the East China Sea King was unable to settle the country, so he could only follow the emperor north. He was very willing and even hoped to return to the capital. At this time, he also looked at the bridgehead and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is watching, what kind of discipline is it to do this?"

The two powerful children were whipping each other with horse whips, which disturbed the marching force. Many people surrounded each other and persuaded each other, but did not dare to get too close.

"I'll teach them a lesson." Cui Teng said excitedly, gently swinging the whip in his hand. The so-called lesson he taught was to rush in and join the war. With his identity, no one dared to fight back.

"No need, a small matter, whoever should be in charge of it will be in charge of it." Han Ruzi wanted to see how the rotating commander dealt with, "Whose two people who fought?"

Cui Teng narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while, "One is the grandson of Korean stars, and the other seems to be... Oh, isn't that Yin Xiaoyan'er, the nephew of Prime Minister Yin?"

"Kan Xing has no grandson, that is his grandson. He was adopted by Han Xing's nephew, but he was not classified as a clan and is not considered a clan." Donghai King corrected.

Cui Teng glanced at Donghai King coldly.

For some reason, the two of them fought and didn't listen to anyone's advice. More and more people watched, and even some people started to make a fuss, almost blocking the bridge. Han Ruzi shook her head regretfully, and was about to send the generals around her to end the chaos, but someone finally stood up at the bridge.

It was a teenager who looked not old last year, but he rode a tall horse, shouted, ordered the crowd to move away, then galloped, passed through the two fighters, quickly turned the horse's head and passed through again, forcing the two back and unable to shake the whip at each other.

The others rushed forward and persuaded them to stop. Someone pointed to the flag on the hill in the distance. The two finally returned to the team, but were very dissatisfied with the young man who rushed in and pointed at him with a horsewhip, not knowing what he said, as if he was threatening.

"Who is this person?" Han Ruzi asked again.

Cui Teng couldn't answer, and Donghai King pretended to be surprised and said, "You don't even know your own nephew?"

"Nephew? Where did I get my nephew?" Cui Teng was puzzled.

"That's Miao Yuan, the son of Ping'enhou, why don't you remember?"

"Oh, it turns out it was him. Maybe I have seen him. There are so many relatives in the Cui family, how can I recognize them all?"

Han Ruzi recorded this name. Mrs. Ping'enhou once supported him, but it was a woman who fell with the wind. She blew loudly, but in the end it was useless. Han Ruzi hoped that her son would be better.

The emperor should go back to the team. Cui Teng sets the way forward. King Donghai approaches the emperor and is slightly behind half a horse's head: "Your Majesty is careful to be deceived."

"Um?"

"March selection is not a new method. You can't see it in the first two days. Now there must be some smart people who have figured it out and intend to show their skills in front of His Majesty."

Han Ruzi sighed softly, "Is it so difficult to choose a few generals who can fight?"

"This kind of thing is not urgent. Your Majesty himself observes it and needs to recommend veterans. There are many famous generals on the frontier, so they will not be famous. Just say that there is a famous general in Jincheng, who is a descendant of the former general Deng Liao's clan. He is now the commander of Dai State and the wife of the King of Dai."

Han Ruzi looked at Donghai King more, "You know a lot of people."

King Donghai smiled and said, "I recognize them, but they don't recognize me. Your Majesty either marches or is buried in memorials every day. I think I have to do something to share your worries. So I asked the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel to talk to them about the famous officials and generals who passed along the way. I thought that if Your Majesty needs it, I can save your Majesty a little time."

Han Ruzi was even more surprised and walked silently for a while, "You still have to go to Donghai Country."

"Of course, so I need to hurry up and do something for His Majesty."

The changes in the East China Sea King were too big and too abrupt. Han Ruzi asked: "Are you doing it for yourself or for the princess?"

The King of Donghai blushed, and he stumbled for a few words before he became clear. "The princess really doesn't want to go to Donghai Country. She said that it was too remote, and she said... and said that she would try her best to return to the capital. If she really couldn't do it, she would stay in Luoyang."

"Well, isn't the Tan family giving up?"

"No, Your Majesty misunderstood. The Tan family knew that the situation was hopeless. They were thinking about business now. Luoyang is located in the middle of the world..."

"No need to say much. After the war of quelling the rebellion, the Tan family will have to go to the East China Kingdom with you."

"I only ask for one thing. Your Majesty's will must be stricter, so the princess will not blame me." The King of East China Sea said pitifully.

Han Ruzi accelerated and ignored him. This younger brother was tricky and tried his best to stay with the emperor and seize the last bit of power.

The King of Dai and his ministers went out of the city to welcome the emperor thirty miles away, and the sound of drums and music could be heard from afar.

King Dai and Emperor Wu are of the same age as Emperor Wu. They are very old and have been re-elected several times. They have been in the ages for nearly twenty years and have a good reputation.

The accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Chief Secretary Liu Jie went to see the King Dai early and comforted the King Dai in the name of the emperor. The King Dai frequently sent people to thank the emperor.

This was a strange conversation. Liu Jie spoke on behalf of the emperor in front of him. Han Ruzi had no idea what he was saying. The King of Dai was so grateful that he would send his children and grandchildren to repeat it to the emperor every few words.

With such etiquette, King Dai did not do the most excessive. Han Ruzi had seen more flattering officials along the way. His position was too low and he dared not express it directly to the emperor. He used it all on the accompanying ministers and the emperor's entourage. Zhang Youcai insisted on his position and refused to accept it, but Loach had become a little rich man. As for others, such as Cui Teng, Han Ruzi did not know the specific situation. He just heard that every place he went, vehicles drove to Luoyang and the capital overnight, loaded with generous gifts for the Cui family.

Han Ruzi was temporarily unable to bear it. One reason was that there were more urgent military affairs in front of him, the other was that he had to find out the situation and be targeted, and the third was that he was not very sure and wanted to ask Yang Feng for advice after returning to the capital.

When he met King Dai, he was different from the kind and kind image in the rumors. King Dai was an aging fat man with loose skin and looked like a drunkard. When he saw the emperor, he cried loudly, and showed a story with Henan Yin Han Chou.

Obviously, this is also a habit.

Han Ruzi was not so surprised, so he immediately drank a glass of dust-washing wine, thanking King Dai for guarding the border and praising him as the pillar of the royal family.

In the evening of that day, the team arrived at Jincheng. Here, the emperor could no longer live in the military camp outside the city. From the day when he knew that the emperor was coming to patrol the border, the Dai king was preparing to take the imperial guards and issued more memorials to ask the emperor to move into the palace. He was willing to lead his wives and concubines to another place.

After several pushes, Han Ruzi moved into the royal palace, occupying half of the house, and the other half was still left to the Daiwang.

Han Ruzi really wanted to summon Deng Cui immediately and discuss military affairs with the generals, but he had to pass the banquet first.

The original plan for the banquet lasted until the early morning, and Han Ruzi said goodbye in the middle of the night. The wider the places he had walked and the more officials he had met, the more he felt that there were many problems in the Great Chu and that he had to apply strong medicine to cure it. He just didn't understand why Emperor Wu, who had created the prosperous era, left such a mess for his descendants in the future?

Cui Teng has always been drunk and never left the scene until the last moment of drinking. Today is an exception. He pushed away the King of Donghai and the eunuch and insisted on sending the emperor back to his room to rest, and his drunkenness was not very obvious.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Cui Teng said with a smile in the bedroom.

"explain."

"Since Your Majesty has moved into the royal palace, someone will definitely meet you."

"who?"

Han Ruzi thought Cui Teng was finally enlightened and wanted to recommend talents to him, but what he heard was an unexpected answer.

"My sister."

"Um?"

"It's not the queen, another sister, the one who once married the Champion Hou." Cui Teng frowned, unable to remember what this sister was called.

"How could she be here?"

"There isn't a son left by the champion Hou who can't be given to the Tan family or the Cui family, so he has to give to the Deng family of Daiguo. That was the uncle of the champion Hou. My sister was soft-hearted and sent it to him personally. She heard that the emperor was coming and begged me for a long time. She must meet His Majesty, and for nothing else, she just wanted to say a few words for the son of the champion Hou, which can be considered as the righteousness of the champion Hou Ren."

Cui Teng gave a reason that Han Ruzi could hardly refuse. (To be continued.)8
