Chapter 147: Clouds
"My father also said the same, and he also told me that although the Ministry of Rites is not as prominent as the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites has the most dealings in the officialdom, and it has contacts with the other five departments, so it is a good place to practice. As for Ye Zhiqiu...... My father said that he didn't see some things on the throne, and after I went, I also took a look at the following situation for my father, which is considered ...... Undercover investigation. ”
Li Chongyan gradually said with a solemn expression, and when he caught a glimpse of Zhu Zhijie in his arms, he looked dazed, and laughed to himself, "Hey, let's talk about this, I still have an interesting thing I forgot to tell you." ”
When Zhu Zhijie heard him say something interesting, she immediately became interested.
"When I was in Jingzhou, I often got bored, and sometimes I went out on patrol. Once, when I passed by a house, I saw a young man playing with guns and sticks in the courtyard, which was very interesting, so I stopped and watched for a while. ”
"Is he dancing well?"
"Well, not only do you dance well, but you also endorse while dancing."
"Endorsement?" Zhu Zhijie said curiously, "That's really both civil and military." ”
Li Chongyan laughed and said, "Shuangquan may not be, the gun in his hand is unambiguous, but the person who reads it in his mouth is also upside down and full of loopholes." I was so amused that I couldn't help but say a thing or two to correct him, when suddenly an old woman, who seemed to be his grandmother, came out of the courtyard to speak to the young man. His grandmother said, 'You practice these fists, feet, guns and sticks every day, and your father will beat you again if you are carefully known', the young man was not convinced, and said, 'My father asked me to recite the Four Books and the Five Classics, and I also memorize it when I sit and stand on it. His grandmother said, "Hugh thinks that I didn't hear you recite all that nonsense, but I'm afraid that your father will be even more angry when he hears it", and the young man laughed and said, "Grandmother, don't laugh, my father can only dance with guns and sticks, where can you understand what I memorize, as long as my grandmother doesn't say it, he will be happy to hear that I can recite it, and he will not be angry." ’”
Zhu Zhijie laughed, "It seems that the ink in the stomach of this father and son is half a catty and eight taels, and it is really an interesting child." ”
Li Chongyan continued, "When his grandmother heard him say this, she shook her head and went back to the house. I stopped him and asked him how he could concentrate on martial arts. He said that his ancestors were all martial artists, and his family had always been poor, and his father learned from the pain, feeling that now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, Xi Wu is not as good as Xi Wen, so he forced him to read and write every day. I said that there is no martial arts, but there are outstanding people, all of them are futures, he heard that I regarded me as a confidant, pulled me to watch him dance a gun, and said that everyone in the family did not like him to practice guns on weekdays, and today it was easy to meet someone who could speak. ”
"So what?"
"In a place like Jingzhou, there's no fun, and I'm bored on weekdays, so I watched him play for a while, and praised him a few words. However, in my heart, his talent in martial arts is indeed far better than reading, and I correct the mistakes in the books he memorized, and he can't remember it, but when it comes to marksmanship, he has a head on the road. Later, I persuaded him that anyway, the imperial capital has a conscription and recruitment order announced by the Ministry of War every year, and since he is aspiring to this, why shouldn't he be conscripted into the army so that he can serve the country. ”
Zhu Zhijie nodded and said, "That's right."
Righteousness. The man has ambitions in all directions, and if he has ambitions, he doesn't have to be trapped in a remote place like Jingzhou. ”
The young man shook his head and said, conscription into the army, can only be a soldier, and meritorious service may not be promoted, his father and ancestors are stepping on the tip of the knife to fight out of the family business, until now the family is always worried about rations, grandmother often said, after the door, eat more, but not as good as those civil officials, shake the fan, you can have enough food and clothing."
When Li Chongyan said this, he sighed and said, "There are some things I don't know, but I have lived in the palace for a long time, I just heard about it, and I didn't feel it. ”
Zhu Zhijie guessed her husband's thoughts, and asked with a smile, "Then how are you doing?" ”
"I quietly stuffed the young man five taels of silver, and told him that a few months later, it would be the conscription order of the Beijing Central Military Department, and this time the conscription was not only horse infantry soldiers, but also some important positions in the army, if he was conceited about his fists and feet, then he could give it a try, if he became the guard of a high-ranking official, then at least the salary was far better than that of the new soldiers who had just joined the army. These five taels of silver can be regarded as going to the imperial capital. ”
"So you made up your mind to find a way to recruit him in and take him with you when the time comes?" Zhu Zhijie asked with a smile. She guessed that Li Chongyan had compassion, since he stuffed the young man's silver and pointed out the way, he must have a heart of pity.
"Yes, I see that young man is heroic, I like it very much, and it will be good to keep it by my side in the future. If he really came to the imperial capital, I would go to the military department to say hello and pay attention to him. ”
"But how do you know if he has come to the imperial capital? Did you ask his name? ”
Li Chongyan laughed again when he heard this, "Naturally, I asked, it's really funny when it comes to the name of this young man." Xu was his father who hoped too much, but chose a name that went against his wishes. ”
"What's the name?"
"Cao Xiwen."
It has been nearly thirty years since anyone set foot at the very top of the Parkhan Palace.
It is the seat of the lord of the kingdom, and it is also the highest point overlooking the entire lower city of Shakoye.
The passage to the throne has never been opened since the lord of the kingdom of Sulihun was sick and bedridden, and all major military and political affairs were decided by the Privy Council on the third floor of the throne. Of course, such opportunities are few and far between.
The leaders of the three tribes of Eagle Blade Blood are usually in their respective territories, and the "Great Butler" and "Second Master" of the people, the Great Witch God Wen Lan and his younger brother Wen Wen, infiltrated the Blue Sea Country more than 20 years ago, one hidden in Taiye City, and the other in Nanhua Island.
The five people with the most prominent identity in Imulan have been living in this way for many years, and there is almost no chance of meeting.
But today is different, when the huge luminous stone wall on the top of the Parkhan Palace illuminates the white marble terrace of the Privy Council day and night, five figures appear on the staircase in front of the courtyard that has not been visited for a long time.
The leader was a man with no crown in a green robe, a head of gray hair draped behind him, and a smile on his face, and people who didn't know thought he had a strange expression
, in fact, because he has been wearing a human skin mask for thirty years, the muscles on his face are stiff, and his expression is a little obscure.
Behind him was also an old man, with a black robe and a golden crown, and his white hair on his bun was meticulously tied. He is somewhat similar to the old man in the green robe, but there is a little more kindness and a little less sternness between his eyebrows. The black-robed old man was dressed luxuriously all over his body, and there was a green wrench on his thumb, which was made of moss jade unique to Nanhua Island in the Bihai Kingdom.
The black-robed old man was still an old man, dressed in a gray robe, very simple, without a single ornament on his body, only holding a cane refreshingly, and the top of the cane was inlaid with a small jadeite. However, this simple person is full of wealth and nobility in his gestures, which is by no means ordinary. I saw a kind look on the face of the simple elder, as if he was happy to see everyone for a long time. He said to the people behind him with a smile as he walked
"Hunying, why don't you think twice, my proposal is really a good thing that benefits both times, if you allow my people to enter the land of your Eagle Clan's Xitai to mine ore, and the profits are divided fifty-fifty, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
The woman behind her had a cold expression and extremely sharp eyes. She glanced at the old man and said lightly, "Rob, you also know that this Xitai land is adjacent to my Eagle God Spirit Realm, even if the mineral deposits are quite abundant, I will not allow the aliens to set foot there for half a step." ”
"Hahaha, the Eagle King's words are out, we are all the people of Imuran, where is my Blade Clan, what kind of alien race, not to mention my Golden Blade King's ability, don't you know yet? As long as you agree, I promise that the mining will not go beyond the West Terrace, let alone disturb the location of your shrine. As...... Think again? ”
Eagle Wang Hunying turned her head and was noncommittal, obviously not wanting to say anything about it. She frowned, looking at the shining stone walls outside the terrace, how could she not understand that what the Golden Blade King said was the truth. His blade clan is proficient in mining science and good at digging, if he and the eagle clan warriors with quick ears and eyes to find mines and open mines, it will be invincible, but she has no way to agree.
She would never believe the words of the Blade Clan.
The Golden Blade King Rob was just about to open his mouth to continue persuasion, when a deep voice sounded behind him.
"Today is the day to meet the young lord, and it doesn't matter, so let's not mention it for the time being."
Luo Bu looked at it, and it was the words of Qi Lie, the Blood Flame King who was walking behind.
Qi Lie easily did not speak.
Rob sighed, still smiling, and kept silent.
The five entered the Privy Council, and without sitting down, they walked together to the end of the hall. At the end of the staircase is an upward staircase, which is newly covered with a bright and ornate carpet, but it still does not hide the traces of age left by the old wall next to the staircase.
All five of them had solemn expressions.
Wen Lan pointed to the upper part of the stairs
"I've been working hard for thirty years, so that this day is the day when you raise your eyebrows, are you ready?"
The four of them responded in unison, and walked up the stairs with Wen Lan.
The staircase spirals up to the throne at the top. Thirty years after the throne was sealed, the Privy Council was the supreme seat of the Kingdom of Imuran. Now that the throne is coming again, all five people know in their hearts, Yi
The political situation of the three kings of Moulin will be gone forever.
The throne is the top of the Palkhanian Palace, where the huge four marble pillars support the curved dome, without walls on all sides, and you can overlook the magnificent rivers and mountains and the deep river valley, which makes people's hearts surge.
Next to the throne, on the left and right stood a warrior of Imuran, one holding a halberd and the other holding a huge shield, both of which were made of pure gold. On the throne sat a young man with a majestic figure and heroic eyebrows. I saw that he was dressed in a gold-rimmed white robe, stepping on snakeskin python boots, and wearing a golden crown on his head, the crown was like a thorn, and the thorn was attached to the bladed teeth, and the crown was edged by a flame-like crown, and in the middle was an eagle with flapping wings. The young man had no ornaments on his body, except for a small amber horn pinned to his waist, which looked very different.
