Chapter 1 Do My Own Way
In the desolate desert, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the ragged Shen Chongming was lying on the sand dunes exhausted, with a few blood scabs condensed on his chapped lips, looking at the lively beach above his head, knowing that it was just an illusion in the desert, he still raised his arm with all his might, and muttered: "Water, give me water!" ”
"Childe, what's wrong with you!" The familiar voice sounded in his ears, and immediately woke up Shen Chongming in the dream, opened his eyes in a daze, and only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he remembered that he really wanted to drink.
"Yumeng, why did you run into my house!" Seeing herself lying on the bed, but Yan Yumeng appeared at the head of the bed, Shen Chongming couldn't help but be startled, obediently, it wouldn't be what she wanted to do to herself!
"Childe, this is my house!" Yan Yumeng said with a smile while handing the tea to Shen Chongming, he was really drunk and unconscious.
"Ahh Your house! Shen Chongming was shocked, and even opened the quilt to look at the situation in the quilt, fortunately, the underwear was still there, and my brother was still innocent.
Yan Yumeng naturally knew what this meant, and explained in a low voice with a red face: "Childe, you were hungover last night, and your room was also occupied by Xiao Gongzi, Yumeng had no choice but to help you to your own room, and the official uniform outside also helped you take off!" ”
"Oh, that's it!" Shen Chongming inevitably felt a little lost, such innocence, we would rather not, thinking about it, he suddenly reacted, and asked in disbelief: "Yumeng, you just said that I had a hangover last night and didn't wake up!" ”
Yan Yumeng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" You've slept all night! ”
Hearing her confirmation, Shen Chongming wanted to cry without tears: "It's over, my errand!" As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up the quilt and began to get out of bed and get dressed, Yan Yumeng also knew that he was drunk and delayed his errand, and now is an extraordinary time. Although this is only a small mistake, if you are caught by your opponent, it will be a big disaster!
Hurriedly getting dressed, Shen Chongming didn't care about visiting Xiao Pengcheng, and ran out of the courtyard directly, just happened to see President Xiao's mount, the little donkey, tied to the door, first sighed about the security of the capital, and then pulled out of the alley. It's a little slower, but it's faster than two legs!
It's the big boss, after all. Although the mount is a donkey, this donkey is not an ordinary donkey, which can be summarized in two words: god donkey. Although it is not as fast as a war horse, it is better to have endurance and endurance, and it does not rest for half an hour from leaving the door to the barracks.
"Phew!" As soon as he pulled the reins, Shen Chongming turned over and got off the donkey and walked towards the camp gate, this strange mount immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers on duty in front of the gate, and they stared at each other with big eyes, not knowing which one Shen Zhenfu was playing.
Beijing Weishang Zhiwei Gongwei Jingshi. Although there are garrisons at several passes near the capital, there are more than 100,000 people and horses stationed in the capital, so many troops, the big battalion can only be installed outside the city, and the big battalion of the Shenji battalion is also among them, just because of the need to practice artillery, plus there are 5,000 cavalry under the battalion, the site is five times larger than other military camps, in order to facilitate access, there are four places in the camp gate alone, named the east, west, north and south gates respectively, the big tent of the commander is in the middle, the four gates are guarded, and the absolute good feng shui super fairy book is read in all directions.
"Shen Zhenfu, you came back with a donkey, shouldn't you be thinking about opening meat for your brothers!" This north gate has always been in charge of the left sentinel, and in the past half a month, the big guys have also known that the new Zhenfu Lord has no temper, so he is not too big or small to speak.
"While I went, I knew how to eat, the official didn't come back last night, did the old eunuch find out!" Shen Chongming frowned and asked, I didn't know before, but only when I came to the Shenji Battalion did I know what the emperor's pro-army was, not only did there be a leading general, but there were even eunuchs in the palace as camp officials. Although it is said that it is to assist the generals in managing logistics, everyone knows that their main task is to monitor the ideological dynamics of the generals and soldiers, so as to ensure the absolute allegiance of the pro-army to the emperor.
This battalion has a commanding officer, and a sentry has a commander-level officer, and the outpost has a calming-level officer, which has its own system.
And Shen Chongming's partner is even worse, and I don't know if his godson was sent to the palace or what, since Shen Chongming came to the Shenji Camp, he hasn't seen a trace of a smile on his old face, as if everyone owes him money.
And this guy is very lenient, he has to ask about big and small things, afraid that he is a minister, and I heard that he also has a background in Dongchang, and the big guys are afraid of him, even Shen Chongming is no exception.
Looking at Lord Zhenfu's expression, several soldiers couldn't help but feel funny, their own adults were really real people. Although everyone is afraid of the old eunuch, everyone will not show it so obviously, for fear of losing face.
"Ahem, my lord, Gonggong Jin waited for you in front of the camp gate last night in the middle of the night!" As soon as he heard the soldier say this, Shen Chongming could only admit that he was unlucky, and walked in with the donkey, with the momentum of facing the bleak life.
"Lord Shen, why did you go last night, our family waited for you in front of the camp gate for half the night!" Jin Gonggong, the camp officer, stood outside Shen Chongming's camp tent with two guards with drooping faces, and as soon as he saw him appear, he immediately said in a strange manner.
"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, yesterday the official had some official business to deal with, go back to the city!" Shen Chongming arched his hand and said with a smile, if he can endure it, he will endure it, and if he can let it, this is the principle of his current behavior.
"There is official business, hehe, Lord Shen, don't mess around with our family, I heard that yesterday was the day when Gao Gong returned to his hometown, you are going to see him off!" Father-in-law Jin smiled proudly.
Secretly said that this old eunuch was well-informed enough, and Shen Chongming complimented: "Father-in-law clearly sees that this official is indeed going to see off the teacher!" ”
"Hmph, Lord Shen has forgotten that the military regulations are not successful, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who leave the camp without authorization and do not return to the camp at night will be punished with a cane of thirty, and the general will be fined for two months, and you will be punished twice for two crimes in a row!" Jin Gonggong said with a sneer, finally let himself get the opportunity.
Shen Chongming's eyes narrowed, it seemed that this old bastard had made up his mind that he couldn't get along with himself, maybe he was Xu Jie's lackey?
"Father-in-law Jin has misunderstood! The official went out of the camp but asked the admiral for instructions, how can it be regarded as an unauthorized camp, and the night does not return to the camp is also for official business, the official is to go to the Chengguo Mansion to ask some questions, accidentally missed the time when the city gate is closed, you let the official jump the city wall back to the camp! Shen Chongming rolled his eyes and said, taking out Cheng Guogong as a shield, there is no one in his old man's face army who should refute it.
Gonggong Jin was stunned and said: "Even if you and the Admiral asked for instructions before leaving the camp, what evidence do you have if you don't return to the camp that night, you said that you went to Chengguo Gong, who can testify!" ”
"Chengguo Gong can testify, if the father-in-law doesn't believe it, you can go to his old man to verify, the official still has an errand, don't accompany him more!" After Shen Chongming said this, he avoided Gonggong Jin and entered the camp, and his arrogant expression obviously told Gonggong Jin one thing. Although the gentlemen have been memorizing words recently, they still do their own thing, see how you dead eunuch can entertain us and we are married.
"Father-in-law, what can we do, we can't really go to Zhu Xizhong to verify!" The guard behind him whispered.
"Why can't you, the people in my Dongchang are afraid that he won't be able to defend Jinyi!" Jin Gonggong reprimanded angrily, and then said: "It's just that such a trivial matter went to him and lost face in our Dongchang, so let him go this time!" ”
"Yes, father-in-law!" The sycophant immediately followed, and Gonggong Jin, who was originally a little unhappy in his heart, immediately felt a lot better.
"You guys keep an eye on our family, Gonggong Feng said that he must not make him feel better!" Looking back at the camp, Gonggong Jin said viciously, in the eyes of Gonggong Feng, didn't you kill yourself?
Shen Chongming, who was sitting in the big tent, was also thinking, he didn't provoke this old eunuch, he would definitely not find trouble for himself innocently, there must be someone behind him, and this person is very likely to be Xu Jie.
It's just that Xu Jie, a foreign minister, has no reason to meddle in the affairs of the inner court, could it be that which father-in-law in the palace has something to do with him, thinking, Shen Chongming's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, yes, it must be him.
The relationship between Feng Bao and Gao Gong is not harmonious, Shen Chongming knows this, Feng Bao is greedy for money and profit, if he is not a eunuch, I am afraid that he can still get into the lustful business.
The teacher has always been unkind to him, and when the emperor ascended the throne, he tried his best to let Li Fang still serve as the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the seal, and Feng Bao, who was expected to succeed, served as the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of Bingbi. Although he is in charge of the East Factory, it is a pity that it is much worse than the power of the palm seal eunuch to review the folds.
This kind of thing, presumably Feng Bao must be jealous of the teacher, and it is natural to hold a grudge against himself in this way, in this case, maybe there is no need for Xu Jie's command, Feng Bao will attack himself, and then look at it from the perspective of the eunuchs who sit in the camp and have the background of the East Factory, this matter is even more reasonable.
Knowing this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but smile bitterly, he really made enemies on all sides, and he never thought that he would not be able to hide in the Shenji Camp for refuge.
Sitting still is not Shen Chongming's character, since Feng Bao is behind his back, this guy Jin Gonggong will definitely find trouble for himself in the future, he is not afraid of thieves stealing, he is afraid of thieves, who knows if he will really let him catch a flaw? So let's strike first and kill him.
With a sneer, Shen Chongming began to think about where to start to catch the handle of Jin Gonggong, unlucky to drink cold water and stuff his teeth, if he went away, he would be sleepy and someone would hand him a pillow, this time Shen Chongming finally found that it was time to operate.
"Lord Shen, look at these!" Several Shenji battalion generals walked into the big tent angrily and put a pot of steamed buns in front of Shen Chongming.
"Uh, this steamed bun is ......" Shen Chongming couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he had to eat steamed buns by himself.
"My lord, do you think this is a steamed bun?" Looking at the expression of Lord Zhenfu, the leading deputy Zhenfu Wei Daqing couldn't help but say anxiously.
Shen Chongming looked down and saw that it was a steamed bun, but the color of the steamed bun was a little black, not like the usual snow-white: "This is ...... Add coloring! Shen Chongming's short-term thinking was confused, and his mouth was full of strange words.
Wei Daqing saw him like this. Although I don't know what pigment is, I have already concluded that Lord Shen, who was born as a civil official, doesn't know much about farm affairs, so I have to explain: "My lord, this steamed bun is seven parts of flour and three parts of bran, so it has become this color, and this is not a disaster year, and our Shenji Camp has always had sufficient food, and it has not reached the point of steaming steamed buns with chaff!" ”
Now Shen Chongming finally understood, and it seemed that someone had embezzled and deducted: "Tell me, what's going on!" Shen Chongming's face was pulled down, the Shenji Battalion is the emperor's pro-army, and there are even people who dare to deduct food and salary, I really don't know whether to live or die,
