Chapter 504 This Matter Is Closely Related to Xie Jin

Xie Shoufu is in charge of military affairs and often does things more conveniently than others. Even if he abuses his power, it is not an abuse of power in the eyes of many people, but he is considerate of his subordinates, caring about the soldiers, caring about the country and the people, and having a heart of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Sending fruits to the army... Well, the weather is so hot. As the chief minister of the government, it is appropriate to sympathize with the soldiers' hard work.

So a memorial was presented. On the same day, Chief Xie sent people to the city market to buy fresh fruits in large quantities. He went to several places to buy them, loaded them into several carriages, and loaded two buckets full of ice cubes at the house. Together they were sent to the military camp in the western suburbs.

Originally this was not a big deal.

At least for Rong Yu, who wants to stay in Dazheng Palace to accompany Nan Xi all day long, it is indeed not a big deal. Xuanyuan Yao is his favorite general, and the Black Obsidian Army is the elite he wants to support. He can reward him with some fruit on a hot day. It is also reasonable - although the regent himself has not had this idea.

It's not that he doesn't know how to be considerate, but he rarely did anything to reward himself and his soldiers when he was leading the army. Except for Nan Xi, Rong Yu had never shown tenderness to anyone else in his previous life.

To myself too.

Just because he doesn't do it himself doesn't mean he will object to others doing it.

He didn't read the memorial presented by Chief Xie, but it was obviously impossible to hide the matter from him and Nan Xi.

After all, the secret guards around Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent are not decorations. Xie Shoufu’s behavior of ordering people to buy on a large scale is unusual. The fruits sent to the military camp represent a certain risk, in case someone is poisoned...

Therefore, someone must report this matter to them in time.

Rong Yu didn't have any special reaction after hearing this. Instead, Nan Xi was a little annoyed: "On such a hot day, it's too hot to stay in the palace without going out, let alone the soldiers who are exposed to the scorching sun all day long? Why do you, the regent, just a little bit? Don’t you even have the heart to cherish your subordinates?”

Rong Yu accepted her criticism calmly and sincerely admitted his mistake: "I didn't think carefully. Your Majesty, please calm down."

Nan Xi called Qingyang: "Instructions, starting from tomorrow, the Black Obsidian Army will supply fruits every two days, and the inner court manager Qiu and Xuanyuan Chen will be responsible for purchasing. This money will not go to the national treasury, and Chu Nanyi will collect it from the bank account." take."

Qingyang accepted the order: "Yes."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Rong Yu's voice was low and gentle, sounding like a spring breeze, "On behalf of all the soldiers of the Obsidian Army, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Your Majesty spent the money from your private treasury, and used your money to win people's hearts. Instead, you thank me?"

"What's yours and mine? Do we still share it with each other?" Rong Yu frowned, "Xi'er is too outspoken."

Nan Xi's tone was calm: "As outsiders often say, brothers settle accounts clearly..."

"Xi'er wants to be my brother?" Rong Yu said in a strange tone, "When did you have such an idea?"

Nan Xi paused and looked up at him silently.

"I've never heard that couples can become brothers." Rong Yu seemed not to notice Nan Xi's eyes and said directly, "Xi'er's idea is really unique."

Nan Xi stretched out her hand and pinched his face unhurriedly: "You are making fun of me?"

"No." Rong Yu let her hold it without struggling, "I'm just a little melancholy."

"What are you sad about?"

"I'm so sad that Xi'er actually wants to be my brother..."

"Is it over yet?" Nan Xi glared at him, "You're still picking on my topic?"

Rong Yu said: "I didn't."

"If I really treat you as a brother, can I let you do whatever you want these past two nights?" Nan Xi sneered, "Which brother have you ever seen who sleeps in the same bed every night and still be in love with each other?"

Rong Yu was suddenly speechless: "..."

"Have you ever seen any brothers who are so close that they can have children together?"

Rong Yu: "..."

"It's endless, isn't it? If you keep bringing up the topic, sleep on the couch outside tonight." Nan Xi used her trump card to easily restrain him, "If the Queen doesn't show off her power, do you think I'm a sick cat?"

Rong Yu finally couldn't help it, and laughed so hard that his chest shook while burying his head on her shoulder.

Can he say he did it on purpose? Because I really love Nan Xi's domineering attitude right now.

Gentle Xi'er, tolerant Xi'er, domineering Xi'er, calm Xi'er.

Every aspect made him fall in love so much that he couldn't help himself.

It is said that couples will get tired of being together for a long time, their relationship will fade as time goes by, and love will slowly evolve into family affection.

But no one knows better than Rong Yu. Even if they become gray-haired old men and women in thirty or fifty years, even if they go through ten more reincarnations, their identities and appearances will be completely different from this life. He I will only love this one, and the relationship will not fade, but will be like a fermented wine.

The longer the time, the stronger the emotion.

Some feelings do not need to be described in gorgeous words, because only the inner feelings are the most real and will never deceive yourself.

"Rong Yu." Nan Xi tilted her head to look at him, "Don't you ask me why Chu Nanyi was asked to get the money from the bank account instead of directly asking the Ministry of Revenue to allocate it from the treasury?"

"If I don't understand Xi'er's thoughts, how can I dare to say that I am the only one who loves Xi'er?" Rong Yu chuckled and couldn't help but kiss her cheek, "The Dongling Imperial Capital includes the Imperial City Forbidden Army. , there are nearly 300,000 soldiers in total. Chu Hongyi holds the military power, and Commander Yang also holds the military power. Xie Shoufu wants to reward the Black Obsidian Army, but does not say anything to other barracks. After this move spreads, it will definitely cause some generals to dissatisfied."

The well-trained lower-level imperial guards and soldiers in the barracks would not have any ideas, but it could not stop the officials and generals of various factions from making a fuss about it. If the empress directly transferred silver from the treasury, it would obviously be suspected of favoritism - but half of the Obsidian Army was composed of the Huainan Army and the other half was from the Great Zhou Xuanjia Army.

No one came from the formal imperial army.

Therefore, the favoritism of the empress and the regent would arouse the suspicion of the people below - after all, the Obsidian Army had not made any contributions recently, and there was no reason to be treated specially.

Letting Chu Nanyi take silver from the bank would be completely different in nature. Even if someone was really dissatisfied, they could send him back on the grounds that the bank owner had paid out of his own pocket to reward the soldiers, which could reduce the dissatisfaction and trouble caused by this matter.

Anyway, no one knew who was the master behind the bank.

Nan Xi chuckled and said nothing.

If it were in the past, she might have sighed that the position of emperor is really not for human beings. Every little thing has to be handled in a roundabout way, and every aspect has to be considered carefully. But now...

After all, she has become accustomed to it. She will subconsciously think carefully and make careful arrangements to reduce unnecessary troubles as much as possible. Well, if she has time to deal with troubles, she might as well stay in the palace with Rong Yu and enjoy the peace and quiet.

However, Nan Xi has some thoughts about Prime Minister Xie's sudden decision to reward the Black Obsidian Army.

She thought of Xie Jin and believed that this matter was related to Xie Jin.
