Chapter 380: The King's Triumph
Duke Wen inquired about Wang Danyang's fame in many ways, but he got nothing.
The supernatural powers of the national teacher began to be rumored in the market, and those old and young women and children, when they had nothing to do, chewed their tongues and said some strange things. Later, it was gradually talked about in restaurants and tea shops.
There are doubts about unbelief in evil, there are sworn maintenance, and in the midst of quarrels, the reputation spreads.
Wen Guogong doesn't think this is a bad thing, the more famous Wang Danyang is, the more weight his words have?
Empress Dowager Wen did not give up and asked him to investigate them one by one.
The so-called rumors have always been ethereal.
No matter how talented Empress Dowager Wen is, she is helplessly trapped in the deep palace, and the news is not convenient, and when she learns about it, rumors have spread all over the world. Wen Guogong wants to investigate, but he is also powerless.
He had no choice but to extinguish the rumors, trying to catch a few of the most powerful boasts.
But the first one he caught was Wang Danyang's eldest disciple Jingxu.
This can't be blamed on Jingxu, Jingxu was originally a gangster in the market, but now he is an apprentice with the national teacher, a meal of wine and food, **** gold and silver beauties, such a good day is all due to the national teacher. He can't wait for the whole world to think that the national teacher is a god, so that as a big disciple of the national teacher, won't he have more face?
Therefore, after drinking too much yellow soup, he wiped his mouth in the restaurant and boasted about the magic power of the national teacher to catch ghosts and lock demons.
As he was talking, two retinues from the Guogong Mansion came out and asked him to go to the Guogong Mansion.
Jingxu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to come to the Guogong Mansion.
Wen Guogong couldn't deal with him in the name of "bewitching the public", so he had to give him a stern warning.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the restaurant witnessed Jingxu being taken away by the people of the Guogong Mansion, and talked about it, and finally spread the rumor that the Guogong Mansion was not clean and that the apprentice of the National Teacher was invited to come over. There are also rumors of the imperial history in the court, and the public health of the government is not right, so that the government is restless.
Wen Guogong was angry, but he was like a dumb man eating coptis, unable to refute.
Fortunately, the rumors of the Guogong Mansion were quickly overshadowed by the news of Wang Shi's triumph.
In the autumn of the twenty-third year of Chenghua, the rebellion in Shuzhong was put down, after the death of King Teng, his remnants of the army fled separately, Zhou Ming was ordered to pursue the remnants, this delay was not until February of the twenty-fourth year of Chenghua, Zhou Mingcai returned to the dynasty.
In the early spring of February, when the ice and snow first melted, Zhou Ming took the army and the soldiers transferred from other garrisons all the way back to the station, and finally, Zhou Ming returned to the capital with the generals in the army and 20,000 elite soldiers.
Emperor Wu was very happy, and ordered the civil and military officials to welcome him on his behalf, and at the same time let the generals rest for a day and go to the palace in the evening to celebrate the feast.
When the army arrived in the south of the city, the civil and military officials, led by the elders, were already waiting by the roadside.
Zhou Ming rode a black horse, wearing a black light soft armor, and rode over from afar, with a big red cloak floating in the wind, just like a young man's spirit.
When he reached a hundred paces in front of the hundred officials, he grabbed the reins and dismounted, and walked to the hundred officials with the generals.
The civil officials felt that the prince was not arrogant, and the smile on his face was a lot sincere.
Zhou Ming led the generals to thank the hundred officials, drank three cups of imperial wine given by Emperor Wu, and led the horse through the ranks of the hundred officials, and then got on the horse and entered the city.
Wang Shi is triumphant, and he is a young general.
The people of the capital came out to watch, and the main street was crowded with people. Behind the upstairs windows of each shop, it is full of wives, grandmothers, and little ladies from various houses.
A bold little lady looked around, seeing that Zhou Ming's complexion was slightly dark, but his face was handsome, and she couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Some grandmothers looked at the shy appearance of those little ladies and teased, "I heard that Zhou Shizi is twenty years old this year, and the princess is in a hurry to choose a daughter-in-law." ”
When the little lady heard this, she blushed and grabbed the sleeve of the speaker, but her eyes were still reluctant to take her eyes off the young hero downstairs.
Zhou Ming rode on a horse, his eyes did not squint, he listened to all kinds of soft calls in his ears, and even embroidered handkerchiefs fell from the sky.
He looked around, but unfortunately Yuxiu was not here, and he was blind to his dress.
Suddenly, Zhou Ming saw a black mass of things smashed towards him, the black shadow looked a little weighty, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, and the tentacles were soft. He took a look at it, it was a wreath made of a string of spring flowers, and the wreath connection was also carefully wrapped with an embroidered handkerchief.
Zhou Ming looked up, and several figures flashed across the street, and it could be seen that it was a young woman, and these people were bold.
He thought, afraid of being misunderstood, and hurriedly threw away the garland.
When they were in Shuzhong, they passed by the village of Nanyi, those Nanyi women boldly threw flowers, and some generals did not know the rules and took it, causing a lot of trouble, and those women pounced on them like hungry wolves to arrest people as sons-in-law. The general was not afraid of death when he was fighting, but at that time he turned pale with fright, and hid in the camp and refused to come out.
Zhou Ming remembered one thing from this: women's things can't be picked up or taken.
The little lady on the other end saw that Zhou Ming had taken the garland, and was showing a shy smile, but in the blink of an eye, the garland she had thrown was thrown to the ground, and the smile froze on her face, her face turned red, white and red. The front red is ashamed, and the back red is also ashamed, but it is ashamed.
Zhou Ming didn't know that he had broken the little lady's heart, but he straightened his clothes and continued to take the lead.
Behind him were the generals at all levels of the Shuzhong campaign, and Yudong was also among them.
He wanted to take leave and go home at the end of the war, but he was away from home for nearly two years, and he didn't know what happened to his family. In the past two years, because of the tense war, it was often opened, and the family letters from the capital were not able to receive a few letters.
In the few letters from home, Yuxiu and Yuliang told him that the family was safe and quiet, and said that his aunt was pregnant.
Yudong thought that his uncle was going to have a child, and he didn't know who the child would look like.
In the past two years, Yuxiu and Yuliang would mention in the family letter that they were cutting new clothes at home, and they did it for both him and Yushu. will say that the family is preparing moon cakes, and also prepare the flavors that he and Shu'er love to eat.
He knew that Yushu still had no news, but the three brothers and sisters didn't believe that Shu'er was dead.
Only a letter in September last year, Yuxiu wrote in the letter that Shu'er had fallen off the cliff for two years, and that she planned to enter Beijing to study in Guozijian after the Yuliang Township exam next year.
Before coming back this time, Zhou Ming said that he would have a reward this time, so he didn't know what his position was.
Yudong thought that it would be best to let him go back to Mingzhou, so that he could go home and have a look, and it was best to stay until Xiaosixiang tried to send them back to Beijing.
The other generals on the side saw that Yudong was distracted, and kicked his horse's belly narrowly, "Brother Yan, do you miss your home or your daughter-in-law?"
"Brother Yan doesn't have a daughter-in-law yet. What do you like, tell the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will give you a media. ”
Yudong was blushed by these people, and coughed, "Brothers, let's marry a wife first." ”
After staying in the army for a long time and being teased a lot, Yudong will also fight back, teasing these people, blushing, you have to make fun of it.
Sure enough, the two of them were taken by Yu Dong's words, and everyone on the side snickered, Yu Dong was only sixteen years old, and these people were all twenty or thirty.
Everyone laughed and laughed, and finally arrived at the camp where the generals rested, and each dismounted to find a place to rest.
