Chapter 186 1 Piece of Women's Clothing
Tu Que Ling thought for a moment and said,
"Everyone should be in the barracks right now. The army has just arrived, and there's still a lot of work to do, like demarcating the barracks and setting up camp."
"Well, go to the military camp outside the city and bring Yu Huatian, Guan Shouchang, and Zhang Yide with you..."
Well, let's do this. You go find Yuhuatian, and let Gongsun Wan'er find Guan and Zhang, and arrange houses for them in the inner city area.
On the Tianyu Army side, only Yu Huatian will be given a house for the time being, and the other generals will live in the barracks first.
The generals of the Changning and Weihu armies were settled early and had their own houses, but it was not appropriate for Guan and Zhang to continue living in the barracks.
Arrange houses for them both. The generals work for us, so we can't treat them unfairly.
And that Ruan… Tail, yes, Que Ling, go find him and arrange a small house for him near the East Factory."
"My subordinate understands."
After saying this, Tu Que Ling and Gongsun Wan'er went out together.
After they left, Prime Minister Wang Anqing looked at Shen Changgong and said,
"Your Highness, regarding the matter of recruiting Yu Huatian to surrender, I have something to say from the bottom of my heart. May I speak of it?"
"Speak up. We in the Great Yan court will not be punished for our words."
"Then I will speak frankly. I believe that Your Highness is very far-sighted in recruiting the commander-in-chief of the Kun army and his subordinates. When our army conquers Kun Kingdom in the future, we will inevitably have to recruit Kun people to join the army.
The presence of the Tianyu Army is like a moving signboard, very helpful in winning over the people's hearts."
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"I thought the Prime Minister would object."
"No, it's just that I'm worried that some people in the court will oppose and discriminate against the Kun people. After all, this is human nature. We were enemies before, with a deep-seated blood feud. Now that we are to serve under the same roof, there will definitely be some estrangement and discomfort.
As a surrendered general, he is in a foreign country, shouldering the responsibility of hundreds of thousands of people, and facing contempt and isolation. I am afraid that he will feel alienated."
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"I understand this, and it's a simple matter. In the court, we only discuss state affairs every day. Military matters are rare, so I can handle them all on my own without going through the court.
At tomorrow morning's court session, the generals can come to receive their titles, and Yu Huatian does not need to come.
From then on, generals no longer needed to attend court and could just take care of their own business.
Since the two parties don't need to meet, there will naturally be no contempt or discrimination.
When Yu Huatian has made great contributions in the future, he will naturally be able to shut those people up."
"Your Highness has thought it all out, I, this old minister, have been overthinking it."
"That's not the case. Prime Minister, you have been very thoughtful. Great Yan is fortunate to have a Prime Minister like you who is so dedicated to our country."
Shen Changgong sat up straight and said slowly,
"Prime Minister, let's talk about the new policy."
"Hmm? Another new policy? Your Highness, the Enfeoffment Decree and the military reform were only issued not long ago. New policies coming out so soon? Isn't it a bit unpleasant to change policies so often?"
"This time, we're reforming the official selection system, called the Imperial Examination System. We must take advantage of the current situation where the powerful and influential families are showing weakness. If we wait until those veteran officials have made great contributions and have gained high positions and power, then we'll be cutting into their flesh and the resistance will be even greater."
……
Gongsun Wan'er and Tu Que Ling rode in two carriages respectively and headed out of the city.
The military camps of the Weihu Army and the Changning Army are still at the old address, in the southeast of the capital, while the Tianyu Army has a new area in the southwest of the capital.
The two of them went to the Weihu Army camp together. Gongsun Wan'er went to find Generals Guan and Zhang, while Tu Que Ling found Ruan Weiba and his wife.
Ruan Weiba and Tu Que Ling were old acquaintances. After all, it was Ruan Weiba who helped him find his wife. When he saw Tu Que Ling, he was extremely respectful and bowed his head.
"Stand up, you don't have to kneel to me, just kneel when you see the prince."
"Thank you, Master Tu."
Ruan Weiba quickly stood up and asked with a nod and a bow.
"Excuse me, Master Tu, does the prince have something to ask me?"
"Well, I have something to offer. I want to reward you with a house."
"Reward... a house? In the capital?!"
Ruan Weiba was completely stunned by this overwhelming wealth.
He gave me money, a wife, and a house in the capital. Isn't this prince too good to me?
The prince’s kindness can never be repaid from generation to generation.
Ruan Weiba is now so grateful that he is crying tears of gratitude. Even if the prince wants his butt, he will wash it and hand it over to him immediately.
He is just a civilian and a small soldier, how could he have such qualifications?
After getting on the carriage, they went directly to the Tianyu Army camp.
After arriving at the Tianyu Army camp, Ruan Weiba saw generals Yu Huatian and Wang Qian, and his legs went limp with fear.
No, what does that mean?
Ruan Weiba remembered it clearly. He was the first one to betray Kun Army and throw himself into Shen Changgong's arms.
Yuhua Tianwang Qian and others also looked at Ruan Weiba, and it was obvious that they also recognized this kid.
"You kid is not dead yet?"
Wang Qian was shocked.
"Greetings...Greetings to General Wang."
Ruan Weiba hid behind Tu Queling and said with his hands clasped together.
"Okay, you're not afraid of anything. Now we are all the same as you. No one should laugh at each other."
Wang Qian waved his hand and said,
"You are able to gain benefits, that's your ability. Just don't forget these old brothers in the future."
"Of course not, of course not. I'd rather be your vanguard, Marshal Yu and General Wang."
Tu Que Ling looked at Yu Hua Tian and said,
"General Yu, please instruct the generals on military affairs, then bring your family and follow me into the city.
The prince is busy with government affairs now, so let me help you choose a house."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you, Miss Tu."
After Yu Huatian gave some instructions to Liang Kai, Wang Qian and others, he went to the camp to call his parents and old servants and pulled a carriage.
He and Tu Queling sat in one car, and the others sat in the one at the back.
The generals of the Tianyu Army were relieved when they saw that Shen Changgong was truly kind to Yu Huatian and was not just putting in superficial efforts.
On the way into the city, Yu Huatian looked at Ruan Weiba and said,
"You are the immortal god of war, right?"
"Great... Marshal, thank you for your praise."
Although he cursed Yu Huatian countless times in his heart when he was a soldier, Ruan Weiba was still extremely nervous when he saw him in person.
Yu Huatian looked at him meaningfully and said nothing more.
When they arrived outside the East Factory, Tu Queling asked about a small house for sale, bought it directly, paid the money, asked Ruan Weiba and the owner to go to the government office to transfer the ownership and register, and then took Yu Huatian to the inner city.
Yu Huatian was very curious about what was so special about this Ruan Weiba that Shen Changgong valued it so much. Could it be that there was some shining point that he had not discovered before?
On the way, Tu Que Ling took a small bag and handed it to Yu Hua Tian, saying
"The prince said, congratulations to Marshal Yu on moving into a new home. This is a gift for you."
Yuhuatian opened the bundle curiously and saw the familiar thing inside.
It was a pink women's dress...
