"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Zhu Houzhao coughed a few times in a row, and the eunuch trotted over with the potion: "Emperor, the medicine is here." ”

Zhu Houzhao finished drinking the medicine with a frown, and asked, "When will I be better this time?" ”

The imperial doctor Wu Jie said: "Within three or five days, the medicine can be cured." Your Majesty should no longer go out to suffer from the cold, remember to wear more clothes, never drink alcohol, and eat and sleep more regularly. ”

Zhu Houzhao felt very unhappy, and he couldn't go out to go crazy for the next few days, and he couldn't drink with his godsons. He rewarded the imperial physician with a brocade, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead." ”

Wu Jie is a native of Changzhou, and because of his superb medical skills, he was specially recruited into the Tai Hospital.

He treated Zhu Houzhao for the first time, and he was cured with only a pair of medicines, and since then he has become the emperor's most trusted imperial doctor. He is now the official of the Imperial Hospital, that is, the director of the Royal Hospital.

Since Zhu Houzhao was a child, he often fell ill in winter. They are all common diseases such as colds, fevers, and coughs, but a cold can be tossed for two or three months at a time, and it can only be cured from winter to spring.

Until Wu Jie appeared, Zhu Houzhao finally didn't have to suffer, anyway, every time he took the medicine, he would be alive in a few days.

In history, every time Zhu Houzhao sneaked out, he would inevitably take Wu Jie with him.

The only time I didn't bring it with me, Zhu Houzhao died.

At that time, King Ning rebelled, and Zhu Houzhao had to drive the expedition in person, Wu Jie tried his best to persuade him: "Your Majesty's illness has not yet recovered, and it is not appropriate to go far away." ”

persuaded a few more words, and Zhu Houzhao was annoyed by persuading him, so he ordered the guards to fork Wu Jie away. When he went out, he didn't take Wu Jie with him, but took Lu Zhi to be sentenced by the Tai Hospital, but he fell into the water halfway and became more ill, Lu Zhi was helpless about it, and he died.

This is really not Yang Tinghe's murder, a Shoufu who has won the emperor's trust, and he is full of food to murder the emperor? He can't rebel against his own position!

Even if you want to murder the emperor, you should think about the next step in advance. However, through various historical materials, it can be found that Yang Tinghe did not make any arrangements for the death of Zhu Houzhao, and Yingli Jiajing was also selected in accordance with the order of clan succession.

Let's put it this way, when Zhu Houzhao died, Jiajing was the first heir.

Yang Tinghe can only welcome Jiajing, and there is no second choice. Why did he kill his emperor students and run to support a prince who didn't know the details?

……

Inside the leopard room.

Zhu Houzhao threw away the brush, and was not in the mood to do geometry problems, so he said to Qian Ning: "Alas, I have been sitting in the room for five days, why do I have to go out today to breathe!" ”

"Imperial Doctor Wu repeatedly told him that the emperor has recovered from his illness and is not suitable to go out recently." Channing admonished.

Including Qian Ning, no matter whether it is a civil official, a military general or a eunuch, as long as he is in a high position, he does not want the emperor to have an accident. Because they are vested interests, it is best for the emperor to live a long life, and there are too many uncertainties in changing the new emperor.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this, and insisted: "No, I have to go out, and if I am trapped in the inner room, I will be moldy!" ”

The emperor not only wanted to go out, but also out of the city.

Qian Ning couldn't persuade him at all, so he could only accompany the emperor's father to leave the palace in micro-clothes, and let people bring cotton robes to Zhu Houzhao at any time.

The two pretended to be rich sons, rode out of Xuanwumen, and soon came to the general's school.

There are many school fields inside and outside Beijing, all of which were set up during Zhu Di's reign. At that time, the generals of the Beijing battalion were not fixed, and they had to be rotated once every few years, and the soldiers of the guards from all over the country were selected to enter Beijing for training, so as to maintain control over the local army, and at the same time, to maintain the combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the Beijing battalion.

By the Zhengde period, many schools in Beijing were deserted, and even some remote schools outside the city were occupied by the nobles for their own use.

Zhu Houzhao rode to the general's school field and found that it was empty, only a few soldiers were lazily guarding the gate.

"Zhang Yongti is extremely lazy, I asked him to train elite soldiers, where are the elite soldiers now? Don't you it! Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he scolded.

Qian Ning walked to the entrance of the school, took out his waist card and asked, "Why don't you go out of exercise today?" ”

When the gatekeeper saw the waist card, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and replied: "It snowed heavily a few days ago, and the weather was too cold, so I changed it to a three-day drill." ”

Qian Ning went back to report and appease the emperor's anger: "Emperor, every three days is considered extremely diligent, and you shouldn't be too harsh." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't say a word, obviously still angry, and continued to ride a horse south.

Wang Yuan's training place was also outside the Xuanwu Gate, next to Caochang Hutong, which used to train cavalry. Most of the cavalry who followed Zhu Di's northern expedition practiced here, but unfortunately not to mention the cavalry now, not even a horse is missing.

Riding a horse to the entrance of the school, I heard a commotion from afar, which was in stark contrast to Zhang Yong's side.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Qian Ning: "It's still Wang Erlang who is reliable." ”

Qian Ning replied, "Maybe it's the time for the exercise today." ”

The two came to the gate, about ten paces away, and the gatekeeper suddenly shouted: "The barracks are heavy, no trespassing, and no horseback!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was not only angry, but extremely happy, and dismounted with a smile and asked, "How many days will you wait?" ”

The two janitors raised their weapons at the same time: "The barracks are heavy, no trespassing!" ”

Qian Ning showed his waist card: "Jinyiwei, Nanzhen Fusi is doing things!" ”

The two soldiers were also frightened, but they stubbornly said: "The military camp is heavy, and you must not trespass!" ”

"Bastard!" Qian Ning is very faceless, if it weren't for the emperor beside him, he would probably have to draw a knife and kill people.

Zhu Houzhao felt very fresh, inside and outside Beijing, there was actually a place that was not afraid of Jinyiwei. He smiled and asked, "How can we get in?" ”

A soldier replied: "Wang Xianggong said that if you want to enter the military camp, you must either have a waist card for the main camp, or an official of the Governor's Mansion will hold a military order. In addition, the king of heaven is not allowed to enter the camp when he comes! ”

"Hahaha, a good soldier trained by Wang Erlang!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed happily and asked again, "What's your name?" ”

The soldier did not answer, but emphasized again: "The military camp is heavy, and it is not allowed to trespass indiscriminately, nor can it be talked at will." Stand back, or I'm going to blow the whistle!" ”

Qian Ning was even more angry and scolded: "Then you blow the whistle quickly, I want to see how Wang Erlang ends!" ”

Zhu Houzhao said to Qian Ning: "Such a loyal soldier should be rewarded, and he and the two of them each have five taels of silver." ”

Qian Ning sensed the emperor's intentions, smiled and took out the silver and said, "It should indeed be rewarded." ”

Seeing the white silver, the two gatekeepers couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Glancing at each other, one pulled out his waist knife, and the other blew the whistle and shouted, "There is a fine work!" ”

Zhu Houzhao and Qian Ning suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh: "Wang Erlang really knows the soldiers, he has been in the camp for less than a month, and he has already trained such a guard. ”

Qian Ning flattered in a low voice: "Thanks to the emperor's wise eyes, that's why Wang Erlang came to train the army." ”

These words made Zhu Houzhao's mood even happier, and he stood there smiling silently.

After a while, hundreds of soldiers rushed in, but all of them were bare-handed, and they didn't have a single weapon, which made Zhu Houzhao very surprised.

Wang Yuan recognized Zhu Houzhao at a glance, ordered the soldiers around him to return to the camp, and personally came out to hand out the waist cards to the two.

Zhu Hou took out his waist and put it on for the gatekeeper to check, and then he was allowed to enter.

Qian Ning couldn't help but ask: "Wang Xianggong, is it not allowed to enter even the Son of Heaven?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "The Great Son of Heaven is the commander of the five armies, and the Son of Heaven who has a guard of honor can enter the camp, but the Son of Heaven who has a micro-service is not allowed to enter the camp. That is, every day I go in and out, I have to verify the waist card, and I can't enter if I forget to bring it. ”

"This method is very good," Zhu Houzhao praised and asked, "Your soldiers are not greedy for money, and they don't take any money from them." ”

Wang Yuan explained: "It's not that I don't accept it, but I don't dare, Your Majesty will look at the general's platform." ”

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes and looked, but the distance was too far to see the truth, and asked, "But the first level?" ”

"Indeed, it is the first level." Wang Yuan replied.

Zhu Houzhao said as he walked: "I have been training for more than a month, and today I will show you what the results of the training are." ”

Wang Yuan explained: "Your Majesty, it took the minister ten days to formulate military regulations, and the actual training of the army was only twenty-eight days. On the previous 25 days, officers were being trained, and ordinary non-commissioned officers were only training for three days. ”

"Then look at the officers." Zhu Houzhao nodded and said.

Wang Yuan led Zhu Houzhao and Qian Ning to the general platform, picked up a bamboo whistle on his chest, and shouted after blowing it: "All assemble!" ”

Zhu Houzhao looked around, only to see the training phalanx scattered all over the school field, and suddenly stopped what he had just done. Assemble from a loose formation into a tight formation, converge from a small phalanx into a large phalanx, and trot in unison towards the side of the general.

Although there is chaos in the middle, the overall view is very orderly.

Zhu Houzhao asked, "Are these soldiers really only trained for three days?" ”

Wang Yuan clenched his fists and said, "The line is not in order, which makes Your Majesty laugh." ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "What's wrong?" I look very good. ”

Qian Ning was also secretly speechless, and said with a smile: "Wang Xianggong has trained his troops well, and he is not inferior to the famous generals of the ancients." ”

Before the three of them spoke, a team of six thousand people had already gathered under the general platform.

"Look ahead!"

"Look to the right!"

"Take a break!"

"Count!"

"One, two, three, four......"

Each squad reports the number of people to the flag general, and the flag chief reports the number of people to the general manager, and the level is reported to the level in an orderly manner.

Each of the six officers turned around and reported:

"A battalion is back! It should be a thousand, but it is a thousand. ”

"The second battalion is back! It should be a thousand, but it is actually nine hundred and ninety-eight, and there are two people on duty to guard the camp gate! ”

“……”

Wang Yuan smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the two people who went out to the camp gate, and the six thousand soldiers are here, please review it." ”

The six officers were the closest, heard clearly, and all looked at the emperor dumbly. Then he held his head high, did not squint, and only hoped to leave the best impression on the emperor.

Qian Ning looked at Wang Yuan stupidly, there were really 6,000 people, and they didn't eat a single empty salary?

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied, nodded and said, "Let the officers demonstrate and see what they have practiced this month." ”

Wang Yuan immediately picked up the tin megaphone and ordered: "All of them, turn back and walk in unison." One-two-one, one-two-one...... Stand still, turn back! “

6,000 people turned around and stepped together, but unfortunately they didn't walk in shape, some of them didn't distinguish between left and right, they all stepped on the opposite side, and some were turning from beginning to end.

However, in the eyes of the emperor, he already has the foundation of a strong army.

Wang Yuan continued to order: "All the officers above the flag commander will go out and form a team in front of me!" ”

Nearly two hundred officers, trained by Wang Yuan and Li Ying personally, instantly distinguished themselves from ordinary non-commissioned officers.

After all, the military posture of more than half a month is not in vain - standing in the military posture in the snow, if you don't stand well, you will be punished for running, and if you don't stand well, you will be spanked, which is a hundred times stricter than university military training.

"Turn right and walk in unison!"

Nearly 200 officers raised their feet and waved their arms, in unison, and the sound of stepping out was actually the momentum of thousands of marching people.

Wang Yuan took the initiative to let Li Ying show his face and said, "Instructor Li, you come to command!" ”

Li Yingna, who didn't know that the emperor was coming, immediately took over the command and asked the officers to divide into three teams and march separately. He gave the order alone, and even asked the three teams of officers to make different movements, which can be said to be like a finger.

Zhu Houzhao praised again and again: "Very good, very good!" “

Qian Ning asked: "Wang Erlang, your training is all passwords, don't you need flag orders?" How to command on the battlefield? ”

Wang Yuan replied with a smile: "Wait for the password to be practiced, and then cooperate with the password to practice the flag order, and wait for the flag order to be practiced well, and then practice ordnance and bravery." ”

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied, and patted Wang Yuan's shoulder: "Practice hard!" In the eastern suburbs of the Spring Festival, I took these soldiers with me, so that the civil and military officials could see and understand. ”

Wang Yuan hugged his fists and thanked him, and asked Li Ying to dismiss the officers.

Li Ying ordered: "Return to the team and continue training!" ”

The officers trotted back to their respective ranks, and the 6,000 soldiers immediately dispersed, orderly into 500, 100, and 50 teams, and scattered to various parts of the school yard to practice on their own.

Zhu Hou took a look at Li Ying's clothes and asked, "Is this Jinyiwei?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "This is Li Sanlang, a classmate of the minister, who is now the general banner of Commander Zhu (Qian Ning), and was borrowed by the minister as a law enforcement team and instructor. ”

Zhu Houzhao summoned Li Sanlang, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became: "You can be a good general, the general flag is too condescending, and I will promote you to a hundred households in Jinyiwei." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Sanlang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed to thank him.

After doing these serious things, Zhu Houzhao began to chat, and asked Wang Yuan with a smile: "Erlang, I've been so flustered lately, do you have any new tricks?" ”

Before Wang Yuan could answer, Li Sanlang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the juju is a play in the army, which is quite impressive. ”

Wang Yuan had a headache and glared at Li Ying, Li Sanlang didn't know what he had done wrong.

"Water Margin" has long been popular in the Ming Dynasty, and now the emperor is instigated to watch the ball, if the news spreads, Li Sanlang will be a high man in the eyes of people!

Zhu Houzhao himself has played football, but he is not very interested. But being idle is also idle, and it is also okay to relieve boredom here, and suddenly smiled: "Then bow for the show, whoever plays well will be rewarded!" ”

More than 20 soldiers with good ball skills were immediately called to the court, and each changed into different clothes.

Zhu Houzhao pointed to both ends of the court: "That's the goal?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "It's the goal." ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Your goal is too big, you can kick it in with your eyes closed." ”

Wang Yuan explained: "So both sides have goalkeepers who can block goals with any part of their bodies. ”

"But it's rare, kick it to me." Zhu Houzhao likes new things.
