1917 Recruiting soldiers, if I am in your heart

Kyushu map!

The Ninth Prince obtained the last two maps of Kyushu from Madam Min. The Ninth Prince hinted at the relationship between Madam Min and the previous dynasty at that time, but she was so excited about the maps at that time that she didn't think much about it.

In other words, she could never have imagined that Concubine Min of Dongling, Empress Shengmin who was posthumously conferred the title by the late emperor, would be a princess of the previous dynasty. This was truly unbelievable.

As for the other questions, there was no need to ask them anymore. The Ninth Prince didn't know much more than her.

"Your mother...what are your plans?" Feng Qingchen forgot to ask and looked at the Ninth Uncle with a worried look on his face.

His parents are mortal enemies, and it is not easy for the Ninth Prince to be caught in the middle.

The Ninth Prince knew that Feng Qingchen had misunderstood his words, but this was exactly the result he wanted, so he naturally would not explain.

"It doesn't matter who she is. My father was the founding emperor of Dongling and the sworn enemy of the previous dynasty." The Ninth Prince spoke each word very softly, but each word was particularly heavy.

He didn't understand why the people of the previous dynasty always said that he was a descendant of the previous dynasty, but at the critical moment they abandoned him without considering him as their master. It was not until his mother appeared that he understood...

He was the son of the founding emperor of Dongling and was a sworn enemy of the previous dynasty.

It was precisely because he understood this that the Ninth Prince did not hesitate when he took action against Madam Min.

The Ninth Prince's words have made it clear that he will not stand on the side of the previous dynasty. In this way, the grudge between the Fengli clan and the previous dynasty will have nothing to do with the Ninth Prince.

However, people outside don’t think so. If the emperors of the four countries find out the truth of the matter, they will definitely not let the Ninth Uncle go.

"The emperors of the four countries will not let us two go." After Feng Qingchen eliminated his suspicion of the Ninth Uncle, he started to talk about business.

"Silly..." The Ninth Prince knocked on Feng Qingchen's head and said, "Compared with the treasures of the previous dynasty, we are nothing. Besides, it is impossible to keep such things secret forever. Rather than letting others use them to threaten us, we can't just throw them out. As for whether outsiders believe it or not, it has nothing to do with us."

Every word the Ninth Prince said was filled with profound meaning, which gradually dispelled the uneasiness in Feng Qingchen's heart and also dispelled the idea of ​​Feng Qingchen asking further questions.

Looking at the frank and upright Ninth Emperor Uncle, Feng Qingchen felt a little ashamed. The Ninth Emperor Uncle did not take the former princess' mother seriously at all, but she just let herself imagine.

Feng Qingchen felt a little embarrassed, and obediently agreed with the Ninth Uncle's words: "That's true. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If you do this, it will be good for all of us."

After laughing for a while, Feng Qingchen continued, "By the way, the Empress Dowager met me not long after you left for the war. She said that you had deceived me and asked me if I wanted to know what you had deceived me about."

"What did I lie to you about?" The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and asked, not worried at all.

"How should I know? What did you lie to me about? Tell me, what did I lie to you about?" Feng Qingchen did not intend to question, but said jokingly.

After dispelling her suspicion of the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen didn't care so much about this matter. Especially after confirming Madam Min's identity, Feng Qingchen was more cautious about Madam Min. The princess of the previous dynasty was not a simple character. She should stay away from her, so as not to be sold out and say thank you foolishly.

"What can I lie to you about? If I lie to you, I will also lose my own heart." The Ninth Prince was half joking, half serious, with an elegant and slow tone, like the most beautiful musical note. Feng Qingchen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his cheeks flushed and slightly heated...

The little girl's Feng Qingchen moved the Ninth Prince, who gently touched the tip of Feng Qingchen's nose and said, "Little fool, don't go to see her alone in the future. She is not simple, and I don't want you to be sold out by her."

"Yes, my Lord." Feng Qingchen saluted solemnly, which made the Ninth Prince laugh for a while.

"I am tired. Let's rest early." The Ninth Prince held Feng Qingchen's hand. The thin callus slid across his palm, and Feng Qingchen trembled all over. His mouth was dry and his legs couldn't help but become weak...

Woohoo, she was wrong. She was stupid, so she offered herself to the door. Would the wolf push away the lamb that was offered to the door?

The answer is yes...

This night, of course, the hibiscus tent is warm and the spring night is short, but the sun is rising...

When the love was deep, Feng Qingchen vaguely heard the sigh of the Ninth Uncle: Qingchen, if I am in your heart, what does it matter if there are rumors?

Feng Qingchen was in a daze at the time, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know if he had heard it wrong. When Zaochen opened his eyes, he found that the Ninth Prince was no longer there, and the quilt was cold, with only a faint scent of black bamboo in the quilt, indicating that the owner had not been away for too long...

After the war, the Ninth Prince could not just hand in his duties like other generals and go home to wait for the court's reward. The Ninth Prince had to discuss with the court officials how to reward the generals who had made contributions this time.

Needless to say, Doudou naturally rose rapidly to become the first young general in Dongling who rose to the top without any background. He was truly the envy of others.

Although the Black Cavalry was the biggest contributor to the capture of Chu City, the Black Cavalry cannot be exposed, so the credit naturally goes to Doudou.

Needless to say, Zhai Dongming, the Ninth Prince wanted to promote him, so he naturally had military merits.

There is also Si Cheng. Although Si Cheng did not go to the battlefield, because of his presence, the border between Nanling and Dongling did not get chaotic. No matter what, he must be rewarded.

When everyone in the court saw the list of rewards written by the Ninth Prince, they knew that the Ninth Prince wanted to make use of young people, not only young officials but also young military generals.

"Next year, let my son take the military examination. The world is still in chaos, and military merit is the best way out." Seeing the newly promoted and valued young generals, anyone with a little insight knows that they should seize this opportunity.

"Go to the military camp. Joining the army now is the only way out." When ordinary people saw the generous rewards and the detailed pensions announced publicly, even the men with a little strength became excited.

Although there is an old saying that a good man does not join the army and good iron is not used to make nails, the court now values ​​military officers. The military pay is not harsh and the food and fodder are sufficient. If you become disabled on the battlefield, you will not be thrown home to fend for yourself as before, but will receive a monthly subsidy. Although you will not become rich, you will definitely not starve to death.

If he died on the battlefield, his wife, children and parents would not have to worry, as the court would provide for them until they reached adulthood.

"We are children from poor families. We have no way out and only have the strength to work. What else can we do besides joining the army?" Even if ordinary people sell everything they have, they can't afford to support a scholar. Even if they can, there is no guarantee that they will pass the imperial examination. Instead of thinking about taking the imperial examination and becoming an official, it is better to try their best and go to the battlefield...

Perhaps, they will become the second General Ouyang, an orphan without any family background, who can climb to the position of general through military merit.

Everyone in the court and the country was excited, wishing they had been on the battlefields of Beiling and Chucheng and had their names on the medals of honor.

And at this time, Dongling issued a recruitment order...
