Chapter 157: The envoy enters Beijing
The big tent on the border of Ningxia,
Yan Kesong received an edict from the imperial court and ordered him to select 500 elites to return to Beijing to participate in the hunting of Hongzhi.
The transfer of the border army requires the will of Emperor Hongzhi or the order of the military department, and you cannot leave your post without permission, and the transfer of 500 elites will reduce the garrison strength.
Yan Kesong had no choice but to withdraw the big tent of the military camp to the city of Ningxia first, and temporarily fortified the wall to clear the wilderness to prevent the Tatars from sneaking up during the attack.
Of course, he didn't know that when he went back to the drill this time, he was going to compete with the Beijing army that his son was training.
Yan Kesong patted Lin Song's shoulder: "It's up to you to go back this time, remember, the pro-army is Your Majesty's own son, teach them a hard lesson to the official, don't let Your Majesty feel that our border army will only eat big white rice." ”
Lin Song is the most powerful soldier in his hands, although he is not a general, but he has the role of a general.
Lin Song has followed the tribal leaders to conquer the Quartet since he was a child, has strong martial arts, and is familiar with the art of war of the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Song knelt on the ground: "My subordinates will not disgrace their lives." ”
Yan Kesong let out a long sigh and became sad: "After hunting, don't forget, go to see the young master, it's not easy for him to be alone in the capital." ”
Looking around blankly, he continued: "The master has nothing to bring him, so write him a letter." ”
Although Lin Song was a soldier in the army, he was more of a retainer of the Yan Mansion.
When he rebelled from Dayan Khan, he didn't want to help Daming, but just wanted to follow Yingkesong.
Two hundred and five elites were selected from the army, and the rest were ordinary soldiers, such a camp was enough for him.
January passed, the capital,
After the invitation from the imperial court was issued, Chao Xian's envoys were the first to arrive in the capital and met with Emperor Hongzhi at the Fengtian Temple.
Subsequently, many envoys from Tatar, Annam, Siam, Tibet, Hami, Jurchen and other envoys also arrived one after another, and were arranged in the Honglu Temple, waiting for the start of the hunt in Hongzhi.
Although this time it is to show the power of the country to the foreign countries and deter the foreign countries.
But what Emperor Hongzhi wanted to deter was Tatar and Annam.
Needless to say, the Tatars perennially infested the Hetao region and were the greatest enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
Annan often broke out in rebellion and looked down on Daming, this little brother should also be beaten well.
Emperor Hongzhi asked, "It's been a few days since the hunt, how is Yan Chengjin preparing?" ”
Mu Bin's face was a little strange: "The Beijing camp is still practicing. ”
At this moment,
In the barracks outside the capital, Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao, two guys, had nothing to do and began to chant poems against each other.
“
Zhu Zidu,
Cheeky is the most romantic.
Looking in the mirror,
Want to be the champion Hou. ”
"What does Your Highness think, how is this poem written?"
Zhu Houzhao's face was dark, Lao Gao was really not a thing, he was obviously writing poems to scold him, and he wanted him to appreciate it.
"Don't think that Bengong doesn't know, you used Bengong's name to scold Bengong, and Bengong will write a poem to scold you!" Zhu Houzhao was not happy.
"Your Highness, please."
Zhu Houzhao cleared his throat with his hands behind his back, paced in the barracks, and began to brew emotions: "
Yanmen has a son into Qinglu
I am very happy to be in this good fate,
Three thousand battles on the brocade,
Wake up with no one on the pillow. ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and asked, "Lao Gao, what do you think of the poem in this palace?" ”
This kind of poem, he learned it as soon as he learned it, and he also learned Yan Chengjin to make a limerick poem.
"Your Highness is too deceitful! This is clearly a poem of scolding the minister, and it is so unbearable. ”
"It was you who scolded Bengong first, and Bengong scolded you, if you don't scold Bengong, how can Bengong scold you?" Zhu Houzhao was proud.
A faint voice entered the barracks.
"In my opinion, these two poems are very well written, one scolds the prince of the dynasty, and the other scolds the supervising army of the Beijing camp of the dynasty, good poems, really good poems." Emperor Hongji walked in with a smile.
Yan Chengjin opened his mouth, and Zhu Houzhao was so shocked that he couldn't speak......
Fortunately, he only scolded Zhu Houzhao for being shameless, and Zhu Houzhao was even more shameless about that dog, and he actually scolded him for dreaming......
Zhu Houzhao innocently looked at the smiling face of Emperor Hongzhi, and suddenly felt that his father, who was originally kind, had a very crazy smile.
Emperor Hongzhi sat down on his own, put his hands on his knees, and asked with a smile: "I didn't hear clearly, you two, who will read it to me again?" ”
"The son didn't know that his father was coming, so he wrote this poem, and I implore my father not to beat the son!" Zhu Houzhao knew that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to beat him.
The corners of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth were still smiling: "I didn't bring a dragon whip today, you can rest assured." ”
Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, and he will not beat him to death even if he reads it.
"As soon as my father came, I was so scared that my sons forgot everything, I really don't remember!"
Emperor Hongzhi's face sank: "Take the dragon stick!" ”
Fighting dragon sticks?
Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened: "When did my father make the dragon stick, why didn't he tell his son?" ”
"I'm going to tell you if I'm making a stick?"
I saw Emperor Hongzhi take a black stick from Mu Bin's hand, and jerked it according to Zhu Houzhao's pi stock, which made Yan Chengjin's heart tremble.
Emperor Hongzhi scolded in his mouth: "I asked the masters to teach you, but you used your knowledge to make such filthy poems and insult the ministers of the imperial court, not only losing my face, but also the face of the master of Zhan Shifu!" Who allowed you to run to Jingying! ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to fight back.
What's more, this stick is like tickling, it is better for Wang Shouren to beat him.
Yan Chengjin was a little flustered, was it his turn next?
Emperor Hongzhi finished beating Zhu Houzhao and turned to Yan Chengjin: "The crown prince is my son, so I taught him a lesson, how do you think I should punish you?" ”
This one......
Emperor Hongzhi was really a reasonable man.
Yan Chengjin was ecstatic in his heart, and took out a gold medal for avoiding death: "Why don't Your Majesty beat it with a stick as punishment?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi's old face twitched slightly, and after a while, he said: "I won't beat you, the envoys will arrive soon, do you know the meaning of hunting to my Ming Dynasty, how is the training of the Beijing army?" ”
There are still seven days left until the hunt.
The high platform of Shijingshan has been built, and the wall has also been built, only the Beijing camp where Wang Shouren practiced.
"Please believe in Wang Shouren, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Hongzhi frowned, he didn't believe Wang Shouren, but he believed in Yan Chengjin, this guy has always been steady and cautious, and he always has to do everything without leakage, with his words, he was a little relieved.
Yan Chengjin is not lazy, but he doesn't want to cause trouble for Wang Shouren.
A team cannot give two orders.
"Then I'll wait for your news."
Zhu Houzhao was taken away by Emperor Hongzhi.
In the past two days, the capital has been a little lively, and there are many soldiers and horses in the five cities patrolling the capital, and there are factory guards walking around in secret.
When envoys from various countries enter Beijing, they will inevitably bring some "idle people" with them.
The Ming Dynasty closed the country, did not trade with other countries, and did not open up to the world, and this hunt was a rare trading opportunity.
Many envoys secretly met with ministers or gentry and ordered goods such as raw silk and tea.
Zhou Yu's house was very lively, and envoys from various countries came to place orders for raw silk, colored silk, and porcelain.
