Chapter 702: From Twenty-Five to Thirty

"Although I don't know much about fighting, I also understand that the rebels in Jinan City were besieged by regiments and regiments, even if they blocked the army under Jinan City at that time, they would be defeated in the end, so for the sake of their own lives, they would do it anyway, not because of the persuasion of a few military doctors." Qi Tai said.

But if ordinary people persuade like that, do they dare to agree at will? Aren't you afraid that Xie Cheng sent it to tempt? It is precisely because the military doctor has made ordinary soldiers trust them in various guards that the soldiers will be willing to confide in them, and finally connect them anyway. ”

"Now, more than two years have passed since the Luser Rebellion, and the influence of military doctors in the army is growing. On weekdays, I would occasionally change into a seventh- or eighth-rank official uniform, pretend to be an experience or a governor to wander around the guard office near the left side of the capital, and I saw that ordinary soldiers were no longer just military doctors. In addition to the military doctors, who have a very bad temperament, the soldiers are willing to talk to the military doctors about some short things in their parents in addition to treatment; If the military generals of the guard wanted to deal with the military doctor, the soldiers would intercede with the military doctor, and once there was almost a mutiny; Even some guards want to do something that soldiers are unwilling to do, they ask the military doctor for help, if the military doctor is willing to help, then the thing will definitely be done, if the military doctor is not willing to help but make trouble, it will definitely not work. ”

"In many Wei and Qianhu offices, even ordinary military doctors without grade authority are already inferior to Qianhu and Zhenfu, higher than 100 households." Chen Xingshan said.

"Isn't it good, if the generals want to rebel, there are doctors in the army who can stop the generals from rebelling, how good." Although Qi Tai did not know the original intention of Yun to establish the military medical system, he immediately saw what role military doctors with such influence could play.

"It's really good, but ......" Chen Xingshan somehow just didn't think it was right.

However, Qi Tai saw that he didn't speak, and talked about another yamen he was now in charge of: "Lang Zhongsi is so useful, so what is the use of the Wenxuan Division?" ”

"The use of the Propaganda Division is greater than that of Lang Zhongsi. Of course, maybe I don't see other uses for military doctors, but I now feel that Wenxuan Si is more useful than Lang Zhongji. ”

"Your Majesty ordered these down-and-out literati to compile so many operas and scripts, which were of little use to the officials, but had a great impact on the people. Now no people think that the Yuan Dynasty is a dynasty in China, and they completely disagree with the sentence 'if you enter the Yi and enter the Xia, then the summer', and Xu Heng, who put forward this sentence, was even more spurned by the people, and his grave in his hometown was dug up. Chen Xingshan said.

"This, this, the local government doesn't care?" Qi Tai said in surprise.

"The local magistrate respects Xu Heng's personality and wants to stop it; But the local officials didn't dare, and these people wouldn't dig graves in front of the magistrate. ”

"And later, His Majesty dismissed this magistrate, and I don't know if it was because of this incident." Chen Xingshan said.

"This, if Your Majesty really deposes this person because of this, it is not in accordance with the rules." Qi Tai Dao.

"Your Majesty dismissed this person for other reasons, and Your Majesty himself doesn't say it, and no one knows what the reason is." Chen Xingshan said.

"Let's not talk about that, let's go back to what we just discussed." Chen Xingshan hurriedly returned to the topic: "The impact of the Propaganda Division on ordinary people is something I never expected. In addition to the matter of Xu Heng just mentioned, His Majesty used opera to popularize the law so that many people can remember a few cases, if there is a similar case in this county, whether the county or the classic history judgment is right or not can be known immediately, which puts a lot of pressure on the county officials and does not dare to judge the case at will. ”

Chen Xingshan was about to say more, when suddenly a servant walked into the living room and whispered something in Qi Tai's ear. He saw Qi Tai have a hesitant look on his face, and then said to the servant, "Let the old lady come out to receive you." ”

Chen Xingshan asked, "What's wrong?" Someone from your hometown? ”

"No, it's the Xue family who came to pay New Year's greetings." Qi Tai said.

There are many people surnamed Xue in the capital, and there are also many officials, but Chen Xingshan immediately guessed which Xue family Qi Tai was talking about: "Your future in-laws?" ”

Zitai nodded.

"Since they are here to pay New Year's greetings, you can go and receive them, this year's first year of New Year's greetings, you don't want to leave them aside."

"You don't have to feel disrespectful to me. The two of us are so familiar with each other, and we still care what these false courtesies are for. Chen Xingshan said.

Qi Tai really wanted to go and receive the Xue family. The Xue family is his future in-laws, and his beloved daughter will marry into this family next year, snubbing Xue Ning, what if Xue Ning treats his daughter badly after she marries in?

It is also very rude to let go of the guests in front of him to meet other people, and it is inconvenient for him to let go of Chen Xingshan.

So after hearing Chen Xingshan's words, Qi Tai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, said a few more words to him, and finally said: "Then I'm sorry for Brother Fuchu, wait for me to chat with Brother Fu Chu in the restaurant outside in two days." ”

……

……

Xue Ning and Xue Xiyang were very surprised when they saw Qi Yu. They thought that with Qi Tai's temperament, they would not let go of the guests they were receiving to meet the two of them, and they were ready to sit in the side hall for a long time. Although Xue Ning didn't feel comfortable with this, Qi Tai was not a small person, and the guests who could let him meet in person would not be a small person, unless His Majesty or some prince came, it was normal for Qi Tai to do this.

Unexpectedly, Qi Tai invited his father out to talk to them. Xue Ning and Xue Xiyang were surprised for a moment before they reacted and bowed.

"Lord Xue can't help it, Lord Xue is a big official from the first grade, and he is the current national ruler, the old man is just an ordinary person, how can he accept Lord Xue's salute." Qi Yu said immediately, and stepped forward to support Xue Ning.

Xue Ning was also a little embarrassed before saluting. He originally wanted to come to Qi Mansion today in the name of meeting with colleagues, not between his relatives; But if he had to stick to his original thoughts, he didn't have a reason to salute Qi Yu: his grade was above Qi Tai.

If it was Qi Tai's brother, it would be fine, but Qi Tai's father would be a generation higher than him after Xue Xiyang and Qi Hao'er got married in the future, and he would not be polite at all.

However, Qi Yu immediately came over to help him up, and he straightened up with the boat, and the question of what name he would come to see was vague.

After that, the guests and hosts sat down and chatted. Xue Ning and Xue Xiyang were a little surprised to find that although Qi Yu was just an ordinary person, he didn't only know his own one-third of an acre, although the things he knew were still not comparable to those of them, but they could finally talk.

I see, so Zitai did not let his brother but let his father come out to entertain us. Xue Ning thought.

While chatting, Qi Tai came in from the door, first said a few words to his father, and then saluted Xue Ning: "I've seen Commander Xue." ”

Xue Ning stood up and said, "I've seen Qi Shangshu. ”

After the two finished saluting, Qi Yu said: "You are all officials in the court, you talk, and the old man will go back." Then he left the side hall.

"Commander Xue, please take a seat. Xiao Xue, you also sit. Qi Tai said.

Xue Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard Qi Tai call Xue Xiyang, but he didn't say anything and sat down.

What followed was a very boring conversation. Qi Tai and Xue Ning are not familiar with each other, the only thing that the previous friends of the two sides overlap is Chen Xingshan, and the concepts of one article and one martial arts are very different, so there is really nothing to talk about.

Fortunately, there was also Xue Xiyang, when Xue Xiyang found that his father and his future father-in-law were talking very boringly, he immediately talked to Qi Tai about academic matters, and Qi Tai was also relieved and talked with him.

Xue Xiyang took the opportunity to ask many questions that he didn't understand when he was reading the book, and Qi Tai answered them one by one, and the time passed quickly, and soon it was dark.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Xue Ning, who had almost fallen asleep listening to them discussing Confucianism, took advantage of the gap between them discussing one issue and the next one and said, "Qi Shangshu, it's almost dark now, and I should also take my dog to leave." ”

"It's so late?" Hearing his words, Qi Tai looked sideways out the window, only to realize that the sun was about to set.

"Why don't you have dinner in the house before leaving?" Qi Tai invited.

"We still have something to do at night, so we won't continue to bother Qi Shangshu." Xue Ning said.

Since Xue Ning was unwilling to stay for dinner, Qi Tai would not force it, got up and said, "Since this is the case, then ......" Qi Tai is going to send Xue Ning and his son away.

But at this time, the servant who had been standing on the side suddenly bowed his head and said something to Qi Tai, Qi Tai showed a look of sudden realization, and immediately said to Xue Ning: "Commander Xue, there is one thing I forgot just now, and now I have to discuss it with Commander Xue." ”

"What?" Xue Ning asked.

"Next year is the year of the township test, and August is the township test of Zhili. I think for the sake of Xiao Xue's township test, or wait for him to pass the township test before getting married, so that he can study seriously before the township test, how about Commander Xue's will? Qi Tai said.

Xue Ning glanced sideways at his son's expression, saw that there was no change, and said, "That's fine, let Yang prepare for the exam seriously, I have no objection." ”

Qi Tai exhaled softly, as if he had relaxed a lot.

……

……

"If I hadn't asked him to remind you, you'd probably have forgotten what I said. The sooner you talk about such a thing, the better, in case the Xue family arranges to get married shortly after the New Year, it won't be reasonable for you to talk about it at that time. Qi Tai's wife Yu Minyue said.

"He Yang talked so happily that he forgot about it for a while." Qi Tai said.

"That's it, anyway, I finally said it, and Xue Ning agreed, which is better than anything." Yu Minyue said.

Then she told the cook to start cooking, and she took out another piece of clothing, and said to Zitai, "Come, try this dress." ”

Qi Tai took it and took a look at it, and said, "This is the clothes prepared for the banquet in the palace this year?" ”

"It's the clothes for the banquet in the palace." Yu Minyue said: "You are a second-class official, the banquet clothes in the palace on the night of the first day of the first lunar month can't be sloppy, this is what I made for you this year, and it will be done in the afternoon, but husband, you saw Chen Xingshan and the Xue family first, and you don't have time to try on clothes, so I let you try them on at this time." What do you think? ”

"Very good. In fact, there is no need to try it on, the lady's craftsmanship can't be wrong. Qi Tai said.

Yu Minyue smiled, didn't speak, took off her clothes from him, put them in the cabinet and put them away. These are clothes for the banquet in the palace, and they can't be worn out of the house now.

Yu Minyue suddenly thought of something again, and said: "I heard that Your Majesty has changed a lot in the form of the banquet this year, and there will be many new things that will appear at the banquet, and I don't know what new things will be." ”

"I'll know when I enter the palace during the Chinese New Year." Qi Tai Dao.

……

……

The time soon came to the last day of the lunar month. Early in the morning, he woke up before dawn, and did not lie in bed at all, and got dressed and walked out of the dormitory under the service of the palace maid.

Of course, Xi Yao also got up together. She has a lot of things to do today, and she is very busy, and she doesn't dare to sleep more.

However, the first thing she did when she got up in the morning was to wait for the clothes of the husband and wife to be dressed, then bowed to Yun and said with a smile: "The concubine wishes Your Majesty a good New Year." ”

Yun stretched out his hand to help her up, and said with a smile: "After so many years of old husband and wife, why do you still do these false gifts." ”

"Husband, the parents of the concubine have always wished each other good luck and good luck with each other, even if the concubine is already a teenager." Xi Yao smiled.

"That husband also has to bless the lady." Yun took a step back, bowed to Xi Yao and said with a smile: "I wish the lady a good New Year." ”

The two of them wished each other auspicious New Year's wishes as if it had become a prelude to the palace to bless the New Year, and then from Yun and Xiyao to eat, there were constantly people to bless their husband and wife: from the children such as Siqi and Wenyuan who ate with them in the morning, to the younger brothers and sisters such as Yunlan and Yun in the palace, and then to Wang Xi and other servants, Yun and Xiyao were surrounded by words of blessing wherever they went.

It wasn't until an hour later, when all those who were qualified to bless Yun had been blessed, that Yun's ears became clearer.

"Ah, it's good to be clean at last." Yun said to Wang Xi, who was following him.

Wang Xi also felt the same way. Although these blessings were not directed at him, he heard them all, and at first it was fine, but in the end he felt that it was complete torture for his ears, and he wanted to plug his ears.

Yun did not allow any of the eunuchs who followed him to speak, and stood there again to feel the pure world before getting up and walking towards his destination.

After a while, he came to the gate of a palace and said to the eunuch guarding the door: "You spread the word, I have come to see Concubine Ning." ”

The eunuch guarding the door froze for a moment. Although he was not very familiar with Yun's appearance, the clothes that Yun was wearing were clothes that only emperors could wear, and he recognized it as the emperor who came to meet his master at the first time. But in the past few years, Yun had never come to Concubine Guo Ning's palace to visit, and he couldn't believe it was true for a while, and was stunned.

Wang Xi was stunned when he saw the eunuch guarding the door, and coughed hurriedly.

Hearing this cough, the eunuch came back to his senses and immediately saluted Yun: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" Then he immediately ran into the temple to spread the word. Yun didn't wait outside the palace gate either, and walked into the courtyard.

Soon after the rumored eunuch walked in, Yun felt that the entire palace was in a commotion, and countless footsteps sounded.

Immediately, an old woman who was over sixty years old, but still graceful and noble, walked to the door of the main hall with the support of the palace maid, knelt down to Yun Zuo and said: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

Yun immediately asked the palace maid who followed her to hold her up, and said, "Old lady, how can you kneel to me!" Hurry up. And how can you call yourself a concubine. ”

Concubine Guo Ning didn't want to kneel, but this was the first time she had met Yun alone since Zhu Yuanzhang's death, and there was no harm in being solemn. After hearing Yun's words, she struggled twice more before she straightened up.

Then the female officials in Concubine Guo Ning's palace guided Yun to the living room, and they sat down separately.

"The old lady is still strong? Just now, the juniors watched the old lady come all the way, and there should be nothing wrong with her legs and feet. Yun said very kindly.

"Fortunately, I can still walk on my own, and I don't have to let people carry it." Concubine Guo Ning said.

"That's good, it's much better to be able to walk on your own than not to be able to walk." Yun smiled.

Then Yun said a few more words, and Concubine Guo Ning answered them one by one.

He said to the female official standing beside Concubine Guo Ning: "Take good care of the old lady, if the old lady has any physical discomfort, go to the hospital immediately to find the doctor, without the permission of me or the queen." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The female officer bowed down a little frightened and said.

"Look at you, it's all scared of my palace maids." Concubine Guo Ning saw that Yun was not putting on a show, so she said so.

"Junior, this is for the sake of the old lady's body." Yun said: "I'm afraid that they will hesitate when it really happens." At critical times, a flick of a finger hesitation can be life-threatening. ”

"Okay, the old body knows His Majesty's concern for the old body, but the old body is already in his sixties this year, and he didn't want to live to be more than seventy years old like the first emperor, even if he dies now, it's nothing."

"Besides, people in their sixties and seventies, many diseases are no longer diseases, or diseases that naturally occur in their bodies when they are old, and divine doctors cannot save them." Concubine Guo Ning said with a smile.

"The old lady is so tough, let alone live the same age as the imperial grandfather." Yun said.

"Haha, the old body knows that this is His Majesty comforting the old body, but Your Majesty doesn't need to say such things, the old body doesn't care too much about it." Concubine Guo Ning said.

After that, the two of them chatted for a while, and Concubine Guo Ning had been deliberately exploring, wondering what Yun had come to visit her palace this year for.

But she's doing it for nothing. Yun didn't have any other purpose, just to visit the elders in the palace who were still alive. In other words, expressing concern for these living elders is his purpose.

Therefore, although Concubine Guo Ningfei did not hear some of the words of inquiry, Concubine Guo Ning did not explore Yun's other purposes.
