Chapter 681 Confidants (2)
After discussing the official business, Jiang Shaohua specially set aside some time to chat with Tao Da and others.
"Tao Da, you were seriously injured in the battle of Pingzhou that day. You have only been recovering for more than half a year, and are you really recovered now?"
Tao Da Weng replied angrily: "With Dr. Sun's presence, he performed suturing in time and saved my life. I'm fine now."
Qin Zhan rolled his eyes at Tao Da angrily, and turned to complain to Jiang Shaohua: "Actually, Tao Da should be raised for a few more months. But when he heard that the emperor summoned us to Beijing, how could he stay there? , I insisted on coming together. I had no choice but to take him with me.”
Qin Zhan always regarded Tao Da as half his son. On the surface, he complained and complained, but in fact he was interceding for Tao Da!
Jiang Shaohua pursed his lips and smiled: "Already here, can I still drive him back? Let's do this. The garrison will ride on horseback this time, so Tao Da shouldn't run so far. Stay in the palace first. Please stay with me as an imperial guard for a period of time.”
Imperial guards wear soft armor and swords every day, and work as guards in the palace. The errand is not too heavy and the scenery is decent.
Unexpectedly, Tao Da was not very happy: "Princess, there are too many rules in the palace. If I stay in the palace, I will often break the rules and get punished. Let me go on a business trip!"
Qin Zhan glared at him and said, "Call your Majesty and call yourself the last general."
Tao Da scratched his head and felt a little aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I am not used to staying in the palace. I can't do such errands as running errands. You'd better let me go out on errands!"
That's true. Tao Da is a wild horse. Staying in the palace is like wearing a heavy yoke. Where can I get used to it?
Jiang Shaohua thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then you go to the nearest garrison. It is a short distance and you can go back and forth in ten or eight days."
Tao Da became energetic. , responded loudly.
Jiang Shaohua smiled and asked Xiaotian: "Is your family still urging you to marry a wife?"
Xiaoda has a father, a mother, three brothers and two sisters. With a large population, life is difficult. Xiaotian joined the Guards Battalion just for the generous military pay. With the money Xiaotian sent back every month, the Tian family built a new house, married three daughters-in-law, bought generous dowries, and married off their two daughters.
Only Xiaotian has never been married.
In the past two years, Xiaotian has been working in the northern prefectures and counties with the Tang family grain store. He has been so busy traveling here and there that he has neither the time nor the thought to marry and start a family.
At this time Jiang Shaohua asked, Xiaotian, who was past his prime, was a little shy and scratched his head: "I keep urging you, but I told them that there are many bachelors in the military camp. Brother Tao He's five or six years older than me, and he hasn't gotten married yet! I'll wait until Brother Tao gets married."
Doesn't he want to get married? It's because my sweetheart doesn't want to marry.
Tao Da's big eyes widened and he gave Xiaotian a fierce look: "I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
Xiaotian grinned and answered the question smoothly: "Then I and I You are the same."
Everyone was happy.
Jiang Shaohua is busy with government affairs every day. Today, he rarely chatted and joked with his subordinates. He was in a relaxed and happy mood: "If you are not in a hurry to get a wife, then wait for another two years. From now on, I will make the decision for you and find a good wife." .”
Oda smiled and thanked him.
Qin Zhan kicked Tao Da: "Why are you so embarrassed? Why don't you thank the emperor for his kindness?"
Tao Da still refused to thank him: "I don't want to marry a wife."
This is because he is still thinking about Kong Qingwan and Confucius in the guard camp, and he is also obsessed with it. Jiang Shaohua was very tolerant of Tao Da and said with a smile: "If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. When you want to marry a wife, come back and tell me."
Then, he looked at Li Tianxi with a smile: " You are also here in the capital this time. How will you arrange the errands of raising and training falcons in the Guards Camp?”
Li Tianxi has also made considerable contributions in recent years. Dozens of goshawks were domesticated and used specifically to deliver messages. The news transmission in Nanyang County was nearly twice as fast as that of the imperial court. This was all due to Li Tianxi.
Li Tianxi replied energetically: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the general has no secrets and has already taught four disciples. Their ability to raise and tame eagles is not bad at all."
"This time I came to the capital and brought a team of fifty people. He also brought a dozen eagles that have been domesticated for a year and a half, and they will be useful when the emperor wants to send messages to Nanyang County. "
Jiang Shaohua. He praised Li Tianxi with a smile and asked Li Tianxi how many children his wife had given birth to.
Li Tianxi smiled and said: "The first child is a boy, surnamed Li. My cousin is pregnant again this year, and this time the child is surnamed Liu regardless of gender."
Liu Hengchang has only one daughter, and Li Tianxi is both his son-in-law and his direct nephew. It was decided before the wedding that the second child would be named Liu.
A smile flashed in Liu Hengchang's eyes and he took over the conversation: "The general plans to lead the troops to the farthest garrison camp and stay there for a while before coming back. I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the birth of the child."
It is not against the law at all to say this in the Showa Palace. Because their empress is also pregnant, no matter how wide the dragon robe is, it cannot cover her growing belly.
Jiang Shaohua listened with great interest and smiled casually: "Counting the time, it turns out that he was born at about the same time as the child in my belly. If he is a boy, he will enter the palace and become an imperial guard. If he is Girl, you also come to the palace to get an errand."
Liu Hengchang was not happy at the moment when he was promoted to the fourth level, and he repeatedly handed over his hand to thank him.
Li Tianxi was also overjoyed and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
Meng Dashan looked at it with greed and urged his son to marry Yinzhu earlier.
Qin Zhan sighed repeatedly in his heart. His own son is also an infatuated person. Sun Zelan has made up his mind not to marry anyone in his life, and Qin Hu is unwilling to marry anyone else. He is very likely to stay single forever. It's really sad.
This time they led two thousand personal guards to the capital, and Sun Zelan and his daughter also came to the capital together. They are now staying in the palace - mainly to support the birth of Her Majesty the Empress. Jiang Shaohua couldn't trust any of the doctors in the hospital.
Speaking of which, from now on working as an errand beside the emperor, Qin Hu will be able to meet Sun Zelan often. I'm sure there's still a chance.
...
After Jiang Shaohua had lunch, Dr. Sun came to ask for Ping An’s pulse.
Sun Zelan also came with him.
Jiang Shaohua asked casually with a smile: "Are you too busy?"
Sun Zelan was not afraid of Emperor Long Wei and nodded politely: "I used to be very busy in the military camp every day. I have been in the palace for the past few days. I have nothing to do but come to ask for Ping Anmai every day..."
Dr. Sun coughed lightly and interrupted his daughter's disrespectful words: "The emperor's pulse is smooth and steady, and the fetus in his belly is also very healthy."
Sun Zelan continued: "... ...It’s better to let me return to Nanyang County earlier!”
Taiyi Sun: “…”
