Wang Yuan led the triumphant soldiers and followed the royal honor guard around the city of Beijing.

Everywhere he went, the people rushed to watch.

Half a month has passed, and in the teahouse of the restaurant in the capital, Wang Yuan has even become a storytelling material.

Storytellers existed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and they were generally blind.

Liu Bowen obtained the stone box soldier book and helped Zhu Yuanzhang win the world, and his story came from the blind storyteller. Yang Shen also wrote a special article to condemn it, thinking that a gentleman should not believe such nonsense, but Liu Bowen's legendary story has spread more and more.

In the Ming Dynasty, all state capitals set up almshouses, which were official charities responsible for helping widows, lonely and the disabled.

According to Lu Kun's "Records of the Real Government", blind children under the age of thirteen will be taught basic skills by the almshouse; At the age of thirteen, he began to choose a major, and he could learn divination, string songs, calligraphy, and so on.

These officially taught disabled artists are not allowed to sing obscene songs or tell stories about anti-thieves, but can only use positive energy to educate the people, and the official has to send people to assess every month.

In a tea shop, a blind storyteller patted the case:

"Last time I preached, this Wang Erlang has been in the mountains since he was a child, and he practiced Wentao Wushu with strangers, and he fought all over Yungui and invincible opponents, so he was able to suppress the unrivaled warriors in the southwest......"

"Wang Erlang finished the examination in the capital, and at night he was shocked to hear that thieves were messing with Gyeonggi. He shouted: "Fetch my bow and knife!" The knife weighed 100 pounds, and the two scholars struggled to lift it, and Wang Erlang copied it with one hand and hung it on his waist. The bow is also terrible, the strength is enough for five stones, and the tiger power cannot be opened......"

I saw Wang Erlang hanging his sword and drawing his bow, jumping from the inn to the street, turning over his horse, and looking for the thief. This horse is also a good horse, traveling thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night, and it is a descendant of the Pegasus that Wang Erlang captured from the dragon pit when he was practicing in the mountains! ”

"The southern suburbs of Jingshi were in flames, Wang Erlang rushed to the horse and shouted: Wu Na thief, take your life! He took out a five-stone strong bow, and from 700 paces away, he flew out with an arrow, and shot the thief's head to death with one arrow. Who is the thief, you ask? It is Zhao Pan, the brother of Zhao Qi, the rebel military master! The thieves were frightened and almost wanted to flee. There was also a thief leader, conceited and brave, riding a horse to kill the general. Wang Erlang raised his knife and fell, and the ground exploded with a thunderbolt, beheading the thief under the horse......"

"Good!"

There were cheers in the tea shop, they were tired of listening to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the words of the champion of the current department seemed fresh.

As long as you don't talk about negative content, the government doesn't bother to care about this, otherwise how can Liu Bowen's jokes be popular all over the country?

Even the talented Yang Shen occasionally has to listen to books, otherwise how would he know that storytellers are talking nonsense? Also write articles to criticize.

Wang Yuan has become a well-known figure in the streets of Beijing, and his fans are more than Liu Bowen. After all, the half-immortal Liu Bowen has been too long to help the people of the capital kill Liu Liu and Liu Qi.

Let's return to the day of triumph.

Leopard room.

Wang Yuan tidied up his clothes, dismounted and knelt down: "The minister has lived up to His Majesty's trust and has beheaded two Liu." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Houzhao personally helped Wang Yuan up: "Qing is my Wei Qing, don't be polite, and go with me to eat and drink." Zhu Houzhao said to the other soldiers, "You all come, I have a celebration banquet in the leopard room, let's celebrate today!" ”

"Emperor Xie (Your Majesty)!" The soldiers smiled and thanked them.

Zhu Houzhao completely ignored the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and actually hooked up with Wang Yuan, like a friend in the market. After walking a few steps, he said to Zhang Yong, who was reporting the military situation: "You go." ”

Zhang Yong bowed down and glanced at Zhu Ying meaningfully.

Open the "Records of Ming Wuzong", and you will find some very interesting descriptions.

In April of the sixth year of Zhengde, Zhang Yong was still the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and gradually became the military eunuch of the governor Sanguan. Later, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong were mentioned at the same time, that is, Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the imperial horse, and Gu Dayong, the eunuch.

I don't know what means this guy used, but he actually jumped from the master of ceremonies to the imperial horse supervisor. And looking at its ranking, most of them are still the palm prints of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and during this period, they also earned a lot of military merits by clearing up the anti-thieves.

It can only be said that among the countless eunuchs in the entire Zhengde Dynasty, only Zhang Yong is the most awesome. There are a lot of power, money, and merit, and they can also be recognized by civil officials, trusted by the emperor for a long time, and even left a good name in the history books.

Zhu Ying, who had just become the young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, did not know that he was being targeted by the great eunuch Zhang Yong.

is not envy and jealousy, Zhang Yong is likely to quietly envelop Zhu Ying and find an opportunity to stab Gu Da in the back.

There was a big banquet in the leopard room, Zhu Houzhao was in high spirits, raised his wine glass and said: "Come on, come on, soldiers, and drink this cup full!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty (Emperor)!" Everyone saluted.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked the attendant eunuch to bring a sword, jumped over the table, and came to the middle of the soldiers. He was already a little drunk, and his body shook and said: "You are very relieved to kill the enemy and serve the country, and today I will dance with a sword to help the fun!" ”

If a civil official is present, he is afraid not to admonish him in person.

How could the emperor personally dance the sword and entertain the soldiers?

Well, it seems that Wang Yuan is also a civil official. However, he didn't bother to advise, watching the emperor dance while eating meat, and almost threw money out to reward when he saw that he was happy.

"Good!"

"The emperor's swordsmanship is incredible!"

"If Your Majesty goes into battle to kill the enemy, he will kill the thieves and flee."

"The emperor's posture is a rare emperor in ancient and modern times!"

“……”

After the dance, Zhu Houzhao also hugged his fists in salute, and suddenly the sound of sycophants came like a tide.

When the meal was almost over, Zhu Houzhao put his arm on Wang Yuan's shoulder: "Erlang, follow me to ride a horse, I will personally lead the cavalry to kill the enemy!" ”

"Your Majesty is drunk today, let's do it another day." Wang Yuan had to persuade that if the emperor fell to his death while drunk, he would definitely take the blame.

Zhu Houzhao was willing to listen to persuasion, grabbed Wang Yuan's sleeve and pulled it forward, turned his head to the soldiers and said, "No need to change the day, it's today." Sons, lead the horses and kill with me! ”

"The emperor is drunk." No matter how bold the soldiers were, they didn't dare to let the emperor ride a horse after drinking.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly pushed Wang Yuan away, drew out his sword and waved it indiscriminately: "I'm not drunk, who dares to say that I'm drunk, I will kill him immediately!" ”

This drunken maniac.

Wang Yuan ignored the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, grabbed Zhu Houzhao's wrist, snatched his sword, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I know a more interesting game. ”

"What kind of game is it?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Wang Yuan summoned the eunuch at any time and asked you to prepare some straw paper, and then folded the straw paper into a card, and wrote the following content on the card: military flag, commander, general soldier, general, guerrilla, thousand general, general, commander, soldier, soldier, people, trap, artillery.

Wang Yuan drew another chessboard, pulled Zhu Houzhao to sit down, and explained the rules: "Your Majesty, this is called marching chess." One level presses one level, and the big eats the small. Only the people can fill the pit, any chess piece can eat the military flag, and the artillery will be killed when it meets other chess pieces. ”

This thing is fresh, far less sophisticated than Go and chess, but what Zhu Houzhao wants is fresh!

Zhu Houzhao only played half a game, but he had already figured out the rules, rolled up his sleeves and was fascinated, and seemed to have really come to the battlefield.

In the evening, the other soldiers dispersed, but Zhu Houzhao became more and more energetic.

asked the eunuch to bring supper, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Wang Erlang, there is such a good thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "It's just a shoddy game ear, it's not worth mentioning." ”

"It's not worth mentioning, I think it's very interesting," Zhu Houzhao said happily, "Don't leave tonight, just stay in the leopard room and play chess with me!" ”

Wang Yuan asked, "Won't Your Majesty go back to the harem to rest?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "How can the harem be fun to play chess? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Your Majesty can teach the queen to play military chess." ”

Zhu Houzhao had a flash of inspiration: "This is a good idea, next time I am annoyed by the urging, I will take the marching chess to the harem." ”

Wang Yuan was speechless for a moment, deeply doubting Zhu Houzhao's ability in a certain aspect.

Playing chess with the emperor until midnight, the two yawned and went to sleep directly. At this time, it was almost time to go to the early dynasty, but the emperor was not available, the champion was not available, the king was not a king, the minister was not a minister, and there was no dignity at all.

Anyway, with military merits, Wang Yuan is not afraid of being accused of being a fortunate minister.

When he woke up the next day, Zhu Houzhao didn't let Wang Yuan leave, and continued to play chess after breakfast, Wang Yuan could only accompany him with a wry smile.

Novices who have just learned to play cards are like this, and it is estimated that there will be no novelty in a few days, and they will not be too lazy to play chess when they beg to let Zhu Houzhao play chess.

Playing fun here, Li Sanlang and Shen Fuxuan couldn't sleep all night in Jining City. The thieves had already set up pontoon bridges and made countless ladders, and they were about to start attacking the city.

(I recommend a masterpiece: "Super God Mechanic", the results of this book are much better than Lao Wang.) ）
