Chapter 65: The Messenger

In this military parade, Zhang Zhaohua gained the most, because her women's army not only received a money reward for each, but also King Yan wrote a poem for them.

"Don't say that women are not English, and use the broom as an arc. Let's look at his Nianlin Pavilion, Dan Qing first painted a picture of a beauty!" Zhang Zhaohua proudly said to Gao Chi: "What's the matter, you say every day that I don't do my job, and I train the women's army compared to the sergeant, and now even my father praises me, saying that I can train the army, what else do you say?"

Gao Chi smiled and said: "I heard that your female soldiers are very heroic and sassy in the martial arts arena! It's just worth watching, think about it, the soldiers fought in the south and the north, attacked the city in a strategic way, and braved the wind and rain, how hard it was, can the female soldiers stand it? Can their combat power be compared to the men?"

Zhang Zhaohua was not convinced, and was about to refute, when he heard Gao Chi say: "I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than that Sun Wu also trained female soldiers, then let me ask you, what deeds did this female soldier hear about later? But it has become Sun Wu's ladder of promotion, didn't you have such a mind at that time? Now, you can be regarded as successful!"

The success of Gao Chi's statement is reflected in King Yan's admiration for Zhang Zhaohua's training of soldiers. This time, he went on an expedition and handed over the task of training the Beiping garrison sergeants to Zhang Zhaohua, hoping that after he came back, he could see results, and Zhang Zhaohua regarded it as King Yan's recognition of his ability, and he was naturally very happy.

However, when she heard Gao Chi say this, she was immediately displeased and said: "I trained them, not to use them as a step to advance, and I am not a man, I can make a career and make a name." Don't you want to think about whether or not you can stand the city without this group of women when Beiping was defending the war, whether or not they could stand the city or not!"

She said: "Do you know the reason why Di Qing, who was born in the Song Dynasty, became the prime minister and was excluded and suppressed by Wenchen, but still refused to leave?"

"Isn't it the original wish of people to go out and enter the phase?" Gao Chi looked at Zhang Zhaohua's expression, and said: "Okay, well, listen to you, I want to hear and see." ”

"That's what he set an example for all the martial artists in the world," Zhang Zhaohua said word by word: "The Song Dynasty's civil ministers were prosperous, and there was no prime minister from a martial arts background, he would rather be treated coldly in a place that he didn't like, just to inspire people with the same background as him in the future to eventually break this shackle." ”

Zhang Zhaohua's women's army is not original, compared to Mulan, Liang Hongyu, and even Princess Pingyang's women's army, she just stepped into their footsteps, the existence of these people is inspiring, and the world's evaluation is because they once existed like this, so they are not too harsh on her.

"My father has already told me," Zhang Zhaohua said: "In the future, every big parade, there will be a women's army, and my future team will not only have sixty people, but I will also bring thousands of soldiers and horses to scold Fang Xuan!"

Gao Chi had always been able to tolerate her, and when he heard this, he only chuckled and shook his head. And Zhang Zhaohua also asked with great interest: "Speaking of which, my women's army has also made meritorious achievements! In Kaiping, Xu Kai and Tao Ming were killed, 1,100 people were killed, and 300 war horses were also captured.

Gao Chi really thought about it seriously and said, "It's really about the same." ”

He was about to speak again, but he saw Wang An coming in from outside the house, and reported: "Your Highness, Niangniang, there is an envoy from the imperial court to Beiping, who has been held and just sent to the palace. ”

Gao Chi asked: "Is it Xue Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he has just left not long ago, why did he return again?"

"It's not Xue Yan," Wang An said, "It's Jinyi Wei Luan Yiwei Qianhu Zhang An." ”

Gao Chi and Zhang Zhaohua looked at each other, and they both saw the doubts on each other's faces, just because the Son of Heaven had always sent people to Beiping to issue edicts, all of them were civil ministers, and no military ministers had come, but this time there was a brocade guard Qianhu, and according to Wang An, they also came with an edict, and the two messengers before and after, the difference was only ten days, I don't know what was going on.

Gao Chi changed his clothes and was about to go out, Zhang Zhaohua also turned over and said, "I'll go with you!" She separated another curtain behind the throne of the Heart Hall and sat in the curtain.

When Zhang An entered the hall, he met Gao Chi, who asked a few words as usual and asked him where he came from.

"The ministers are here by the edict of the Son of Heaven," Zhang An said: "Please accept the edict from Your Highness." ”

Gao Chi glanced at the edict in the box and said, "What is the order of the Son of Heaven?"

Zhang An said: "But if you want to release the soldiers in Beiping, come to Xie Xiaoling to eliminate the military disaster." ”

"The previous Xue envoy said the same," Gao Chi said: "You and he are on the same road, didn't you meet him on the road?"

Zhang An said that he only knew that he was ordered, Gao Chi did not speak, Zhang Zhaohua listened to the back for a long time, there was no movement, she picked a gap in the curtain, peeked over, only to see Gao Chi staring at the box containing the edict, and asked: "My father is not in Beiping, the messenger is tired, I will send you to my father, and you will hand over the edict to him." ”

Zhang An hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, the edict of the Son of Heaven is not for King Yan, but for you!"

Gao Chi said: "In the past, the messenger came from afar, but he didn't ask me so much, Gao Chi is here, thank the Son of Heaven for his kindness." As he spoke, he said: "My Yan Wang father and son have long been scolded as 'thief father and son', father and son are single-minded, you hand it over to my father and king, and it is the same as handing it over to me." ”

Speaking of this "thief father and son", there is a funny place. Because the Southern Army often insulted King Yan as a "thief father and son" in front of the two armies, because Gao Xu was also in the army, King Yan was not angry when he heard it, but said in a document to Emperor Jianwen, your army scolded me as a "thief father and son", and my father was Emperor Taizu Gao, so you actually dared to scold Taizu on his head? If Emperor Taizu Gao is a "thief father" and I am a "thief son", then Your Majesty, wouldn't you become a "thief grandson"?

Zhang An took the document drafted by Fang Xiaoru himself, and was ordered to hand it over to Yan Shizi Gao Chi in order to make a divisive plan. He said: "In the last tense, the Son of Heaven said to me that when he saw Yan Shizi, and asked him if he knew the great Confucian Liu Benzhan, how is it now?"

Gao Chi remembered the situation when he was in class with the emperor who was still the grandson of the emperor, because in winter, the house was full of charcoal, and he was obese, and he often sweated profusely, and wet the mat under his seat. Once he hurriedly changed his clothes and came back, he saw that his mat had been replaced with a new one, he thought that the palace people had changed it for him, but later learned that it was the grandson who gave him his own bamboo mat.

His eyes were hot, but Zhang An said: "Liu Benzhan has been-"

"I know," Gao Chi said slowly, "When he heard that King Yan had raised an army, he was killed and killed in front of the Ming Jing Hall." ”

Liu Benzhan's most famous class is not "Yi", but the principle of Lunchang, and among the five constants, it is the most important gift of the monarch and minister, and the last sentence before he crashed to death was: "I tried to talk to you about Lunchang, and now Lunchang is here?"

Gao Chi lowered his head, Zhang An couldn't see his expression, but Zhang Zhaohua behind him could see clearly, and at that moment, Gao Chi's eyes were full of tears.
