Chapter 44: The Wind Blows

The military department of Daliang is a very special place, not only the military department book, but also the five soldiers book.

Xie Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is called the "Wen" Shangshu, because Xie Hengzhi is generally responsible for the writing and handling of official affairs in the Ministry of War.

Gong Poyu, the secretary of the five soldiers, is known as the "martial" Shangshu, and it is rare to go to the court several times a year, and he usually wanders around the garrisons all over the country to supervise the training and inspection of grain, grass, weapons, armor and other materials.

But Xie Hengzhi was born in a family, and he relied on the desperate efforts of his clansmen in the battle for the restoration of the Great Liang Dynasty, and the support of several major families, so that he sat in the position of the secretary of the military department. In fact, Xie Hengzhi is ignorant of military affairs, and the handling of ordinary affairs is actually completed by several military department directors.

The most powerful principal is Tian Gangfeng and Chao Lun, Tian Gangfeng was born in the army, proficient in military books and tactics, familiar with the world's strong army, and has dealings with the generals of various armies.

Chao Lun is good at strategy, and he is always handy in dealing with emergencies, especially figuring out the emperor's mind makes Xie Hengzhi admire him to the extreme.

The wedding between the crown prince and the king of Jin had little to do with the military department, but the emperor named Tian Gangfeng and Chao Lun to be responsible for the defense of the capital on the wedding day and maintain order in the capital.

The garrison defense of the capital was originally in charge of the north and south guards, the south guards were responsible for the defense from the south palace to the Lingtai, and the north guards were responsible for the defense from the north palace to the valley gate.

Tian Gangfeng and Chao Lun knew that it was not a good errand, or a trap.

Xie Hengzhi smiled and told the two that this was the emperor's trust and wanted to promote them, so they were entrusted with important tasks.

Chao Lun gave Xie Hengzhi a salute, "Lord Xie is kind, I have thanked Brother Gangfeng, the heavy responsibility is a heavy responsibility, but it is not trust." It's a test! ”

Xie Hengzhi didn't know what to do, and continued to say, "Hey, where is it, with your Chao Lun's wisdom and Gangfeng's connections, it is not difficult to command the Northern and Southern Forbidden Army to do a good job in defense and maintain order during the wedding!" ”

Tian Gangfeng shook his head: "It is precisely because my connections are enough to command the forbidden army and not be constrained, so it is a test." There is no appointment and no tiger talisman, but he can command the emperor's forbidden army smoothly, what will the emperor think? ”

"This, those two, but if there is a mistake in the defense of the order that cannot be maintained, they will also be punished by the emperor, this, the old man still thinks it is"

"Master Xie, you don't have to bother, my brothers have their own countermeasures!"

Xie Hengzhi looked at the two of them, "Okay, okay, you must not have anything to do, otherwise what can I do as a secretary of the military department?" ”

"Lord Xie, your old house is kind-hearted, my two brothers are from a poor family, and you will never give up on you, and you will definitely cherish this future!"

The wedding is approaching, and the ministers are also painstakingly preparing congratulatory gifts, and this congratulatory gift is still double.

The officials who have always supported the prince naturally prepared more expensive gifts for the prince, and the Pei family and a cadre of the Jin Queen Mother's family also nakedly gave the prince thinner gifts.

The officials caught in the middle will be in trouble, and not offending both sides is tantamount to offending both sides.

However, these people are all on par with the three of Xiao Xian, King Fuyuan, and Xiuwen, and they are tied to these three important ministers and the three major families behind them, and they are not afraid.

However, Wang Fu handed over these things to Qian Jingzhi to take care of, but Qian Jingzhi quietly sent congratulatory gifts to the East Palace and the Jin Palace, respectively, the congratulatory gifts were different, the prince was a coral tree, and the King of Jin gave a night pearl.

In order to send other people who came to ask, Qian Jingzhi took out two congratulatory watches and two gift lists, and everyone saw that they were just ordinary gold, silver and jade, and walked away.

Xiao Xian was there, but he was "indifferent" a lot, and just said it to the prince

King Jin sent two pairs of porcelain vases respectively.

As for Yuan Xiuwen, he was even more stingy, and it is said that he only sent two paintings and calligraphy over.

On the day of the wedding, everything went well, but the costumes of the King of Jin, the princess of Jin and the side concubines made the emperor's and the courtiers wide-eyed.

The three princesses and princesses who appeared first showed the bearing of the kings of the world, and they were as luxurious and noble as they were.

The three Jin kings are more like immortals in the sky, their clothes are fluttering, elegant and pure, although they are also red, they are not abrupt, but give people a comfortable and relaxed feeling.

The crown princess Chen Suye was suddenly a little overshadowed, and then regained her demeanor, but her eyes were very unwilling.

Concubine Yang Liuqing looked at the dress on her body, and then looked at Du Ruohong's light and immortal body, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look up.

King Jin pulled Du Ruohong and Tang Qiu left and right to kneel down to worship the emperor together, and everyone spontaneously knelt down.

Everyone present regarded these three people as fairies, and couldn't help but follow them.

It was the emperor who got up to congratulate the two couples, which resolved the embarrassment in time, and also made everyone realize that the three people were not fairies, but the king of Jin.

In addition to the officials in the capital, there were also envoys from other countries who came to pay their congratulations.

Among these many countries, most of them inquired about the congratulatory gifts sent by the courtiers in advance, and sent the same congratulatory gifts to the crown prince and the king of Jin along with the ministers.

However, there are four kingdoms of Linyi, Goryeo, Risha, and Zhenla who only give gifts to the prince, on the grounds that the prince is the future lord of the Central Plains, and they only recognize those who are the lords of the Central Plains.

This made the ministers of the Jin King family in the main hall immediately blow up, and General Zuo Pei Yun immediately shouted, "What do you know, wait for the small country?" The crown prince and the king of Jin are all nobles, so why is it so disrespectful? ”

Counselor Wen Yanru immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, such a small country is clearly provoking Daliang on the day of the wedding of the prince and the king of Jin, and the minister implores His Majesty to send troops to ask for guilt!" ”

"Your Majesty, such barbarians are too ignorant of the general situation, and they dare to harbor evil intentions on the wedding day of the crown prince and King Jin, and the minister asks to lead troops south to conquer!"

For a while, the wedding ceremony became a court meeting for the ministers to invite war, or the king of Jin hurriedly came forward and waved his hand, "It's a guest from afar, they have already given gifts to the prince, that is, they have respected the emperor and the beam, you have lost the great country bearing, we are the state of etiquette of the big country, for a gift to conquer a small country, is it not ridiculed by the world?" ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "What the King of Jin said is exactly what I want to say, you are complaining about the King of Jin, and now that the King of Jin has expressed his position, do you think what King Jin said is wrong?" ”

"Don't dare! King Jin is benevolent, filial piety and generosity, we are sincere to congratulate King Jin! ”

"The ministers don't dare, and the ministers are also congratulating the king of Jin!"

The emperor got up and got off the throne and came to the crown prince and the king of Jin, and grabbed the two of them with his left and right hands, "Good, good, good!" Today I am not only the Son of Heaven, but also the father, the so-called son is not worried, today I have the prince and the King of Jin two virtuous princes, it is a blessing in the world, there are all the congratulations of the ministers and congratulatory gifts from all countries, I am very relieved! Feast! ”

The emperor's banquet covered up the previous episode, and the congratulatory messages and drinks at the banquet immersed the entire Liang court in celebration.

After the wedding, the emperor rewarded Tian Gangfeng and Chao Lun, who were in charge of defense.

However, Tian Gangfeng and Chao Lun did not directly arrange the defense, but wrote a letter to the emperor in extremely humble terms before, and after obtaining the emperor's consent, they wrote a letter to the northern and southern guards in a suggested way, so that it was over

became a task, and did not directly intervene in the affairs of the northern and southern forbidden armies, which temporarily dispelled the emperor's suspicions.

Tian Gangfeng and Chao Lun, who received the reward, came to the outskirts of the capital and distributed the money to some homeless people.

Looking at the ragged homeless people, Tian Gangfeng asked Chao Lun, "This big beam has dominated the world for more than ten years, why are there still so many homeless?" There are still so many people who can't eat and have no place to live! The"

"The family dogs eat meat, and the homeless people eat the soil, alas! Even in the capital, aren't there many beggars? Chao Lun sighed at the distant homeless

"Actually, you and my brother are funding them like this, which is a drop in the bucket, but if you can save one, count it as one!"

Tian Gangfeng turned around to leave, but Chao Lun grabbed him and pointed into the distance.

The two children were running towards them, Tian Gangfeng took a few steps forward, and saw that it was two girls running over crying.

"Brother Chao, two girls are back!"

Chao Lun looked at it and followed Tian Gangfeng to greet him, and after asking, he learned that the homeless people had robbed the two girls of the money they had gotten and drove them back.

Tian Gangfeng was a little surprised, "This, this, aren't your parents also there?" Could it be?"

"Our parents don't want us anymore, saying that with this money, they can buy a field and a house for their younger brother in the future, and marry a daughter-in-law!"

"They won't let us follow them anymore!"

"What kind of world is this? I think only the rich bully the poor! I can't imagine that there are still poor people bullying the poor, and there are parents who abandon their children for money! No, I have to go and get the money back! Tian Gangfeng was furious

Chao Lun grabbed Tian Gangfeng, who was about to turn over and get on the horse, "Forget it, forget it, what can you do if you go, you get the money back, their parents can't even sell their son!" The hearts of people in the world are the most unpredictable, and you can't control them! Let's find a way to give these two children a way to live! ”

"How about sending it to Yiyangzhuang?"

Chao Lun shook his head, "In the Yiyang Village, all the girls with good looks were sold to the Qinglou, and they were almost sent directly to the deceased house to be slaves!" ”

"You know how to ignore this? We are still brothers, this! Lao Tzu has to go to Yiyangzhuang to cut down these people who don't do anything! ”

"Brother Gangfeng, you don't think about it, there is no backer behind you, do a few minions of Yiyangzhuang dare to do this? You are happy to cut people and get justice, but the person who took over the Yiyang Village will still do this! It's nothing else, because there is a lot of money to be profitable for doing bad things, and there are backers, and the most important thing is that the imperial court is completely laissez-faire and unsupervised! These are the root of the problem! ”

Tian Gangfeng punched the trunk next to him, "What kind of ZTE is this?" What kind of heyday is this? ”

"Shen Yan, Brother Gangfeng, you and I are just the head of the military department, even if you want to take care of it, you are powerless. Unless we have backers too! ”

"Backer? Are you going to be part of the family? Then you and my brother will break up today! ”

Chao Lun patted the back of the two little girls, "Don't cry, follow the uncles back first!" Brother Gangfeng, you underestimate me too much, I'm not talking about those thieves. If you want to rely on it, we will rely on the prince and bet that the future of Daliang can have a bright sky! ”

Tian Gangfeng retracted his fist and took a step back, "Brother Chao, they all say that you are smart, you are not faint!" The prince is now suppressed everywhere, what can he do to take refuge in him? ”

"That's right, it's that the prince is suppressed everywhere and has no one under him, so we have a lot to do! Don't talk about it, take the two children back first, hand them over to my wife to train, and take them as righteous daughters! ”
