Chapter 45: Wu Dewei

The next day, it was September 23rd. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early this morning, Yuntong took Wang Gong and the guards out of Donghua Gate and walked towards the entrance of the household department. Because yesterday Yuntong had asked the guards to inform the officials of the Sichuan Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs to go to the north gate bridge in the north of the city early this morning to check the land, so yesterday Langzhong Li Ren had already reported to Shangshu, and the high-grade officials of the Sichuan Division were already waiting in the gatehouse of the office compound of the Ministry of Household this morning.

The main reason why everyone is not waiting at the door is because it is cold. Think about it, you also know that the twentieth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is probably the end of October or the beginning of November in the Western calendar, which is already late autumn and almost winter. Since the Tang Dynasty, the global temperature has dropped, and the temperature in the early years of the Ming Dynasty was even lower than now, so the weather has been relatively cold.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the income of officials was only a small dead salary, unlike the later officials, who had all kinds of fire consumption and ministry expenses, so they could not afford to hire a sedan chair. Therefore, in order to keep warm, I can only hide in the gatehouse.

After Yuntong left the Donghua Gate, he asked Chen Xing to call the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor (at this time, the Imperial Horse Supervisor was only 'Imperial Horse') to prepare the horse and prepare the car.

When Yuntong was about to arrive at the entrance of the household department, the janitor of the household compound hurriedly informed the officials waiting here: "Come out quickly, the third highness is down." The colleagues of the Sichuan Division hurriedly sorted out their instruments, and then rushed out. When Yuntong walked to the entrance of the household department, the officials of the Sichuan Division were already lined up outside the door, and they all saluted when they saw Yuntong.

Yun Xi returned the salute and said, "It's strange cold today, and suddenly a strong wind blows from the north, and the sky is cold." So let's not be polite," he said, pointing to the carriage coming behind him, and continued, "Let's get in the carriage and go." ”

How could civil officials be willing to stand in the cold wind all the time, let alone walk to the north against the northwest wind. So Li Ren took the lead, and got into the carriage after verbally prevaricating.

Of course, Yun Xi rode a horse, and the guards under him and Wang Gong also rode on horses. In fact, Wang Gong can't ride a horse, how can a person from a poor family ride a horse, and it is not the time when horse politics was implemented later. But the master is riding a horse, how can he ride in a car?

Yunxi couldn't persuade him to take the car; And the people have already been brought out, and they can't just let him go back to the palace, so Wang Gong can't raise his head in the palace. Therefore, the speed of the group on horseback and carriage was not fast, and they slowly went to the Wu Dewei station near the Beimen Bridge.

The current commander of Wu Dewei is Chu Qian. Chu Zhen also followed Feng Sheng, Lan Yu and others to fight in the Sai, and later died in the battle during the 'Jing Disaster'. He went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies yesterday to meet Feng Sheng and learned that Yun Xi wanted him to vacate a piece of space, and on the way back to Wu Dewei, he pondered how to vacate the space; When he returned to Wu Dewei, he immediately commanded his soldiers to start working, vacating half of the school field, a small warehouse for spare weapons, and a public house for himself and his subordinates to command the same knowledge and command the office affairs, anyway, they usually don't stay in the public house much.

This morning, when the soldiers went out for morning exercises, all the middle and senior guard officers headed by Chu Zhen went out for morning exercises, which made the unaware Xiaoqi and soldiers very surprised.

It is now the Hongwu period, and the generals of the Beijing camp do not basically go to the barracks as they did later, but it is still very common for the generals to come a little late every day and leave a while early. But what day is today, it is the day when the future monarch of the empire will come, although everyone knows that the possibility of Yun Ximao coming to Wu Dewei is very small, but what if it really comes so early? Anyway, it's just a hard day, and everyone usually has to take turns to preside over the morning exercises.

Sure enough, Yunxi didn't arrive at the end of the day, which was not only expected by them, but also secretly disappointed them. It wasn't until more than three o'clock in the morning (after 10:30 a.m.) that Yun Xi and his party were late.

Chu Zhen had already pondered it yesterday, and I heard that these three highnesses are the most well-behaved people, so let's give him a meeting in the fine willow camp, and I will also be Zhou Yafu. Chu Zhen was very glad that he had memorized this paragraph when he had heard about the book before.

Yun Xi and his party came to the gate of Wu Dewei and were stopped by the soldiers guarding the door. Although the soldiers guarding the gate were already covered in sweat, they still asked according to Chu Zhen's instructions yesterday, "Who are you?" This is a military camp, and the idle people are waiting to quickly dodge. ”

Yun Xi was amused at once, although he didn't know which one Chu Zhen was singing, but he knew that he must have made a mistake in preparing for it. Although Yun Xi wears the so-called 'regular clothes', the regular clothes of the royal family are completely different from the regular clothes of ordinary people. Yun Xi is now wearing the costume of the king of the county, and the regular clothes contain python patterns, and there is no one in the capital who does not know it. As soon as he heard what the gatekeeper said, he knew that it had been prepared in advance.

But Yun Xi's playfulness suddenly became bigger, and he was too frightened in the past few days, and he needed to relax and relax. He stopped Wang Gong, who was about to reprimand, and said with a smile: "Gu Nai is the son of Prince Yiwen, and he was ordered to come to Wu Dewei today to handle affairs, and please report it." ”

As soon as the soldier heard the script arranged in advance, he saluted, and then went in to report.

The officials of the household department in the back were talking about it. Li Ren and Zhao Yi, a member of the staff, said: "According to the etiquette formulated by His Majesty, this soldier is a violation of etiquette and should be executed." ”

Zhao Yi said: "Indeed. However, His Royal Highness is still young and may not know much about etiquette. ”

Li Ren said again: "Even if His Highness doesn't know it anymore, he should know that he violated the courtesy, why didn't he reprimand him at all?" ”

Zhao Yi looked at Yun Xi, twisted his beard and said, "Who knows, His Highness is only fifteen years old this year. ”

Li Ren suddenly realized, understood Zhao Yi's thoughts, and felt that it made sense. Your Highness is just a teenager.

After a while, the soldier who reported the report came back and said, "My commander invites you to enter." ”

Wang Gong couldn't hold back any longer, and said: "This is, His Royal Highness the King of the County, how can you be so lazy!" Let your commanders come out to meet you. ”

Hearing the reprimand, the soldier knelt down in fright, but still said according to the arrangement of the script: "The army only listens to military orders, and nothing else." ”

Yun Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, you can take us into the barracks." Hearing Yun Xi's words, Wang Gong had to swallow what he was going to say back into his mouth.

The soldiers stood up tremblingly, opened the gate of the barracks, and led them in, saying, "According to the rules of the army, you must not drive." ”

Yun Xi understood that it was an allusion to the 'fine willow camp' here, and happily dismounted and walked. The civil officials in the back were also full of poetry and books, and they all understood what was going on, and they all laughed secretly.

When they arrived at the door of Chu Zhen's office on weekdays, Chu Zhen and his subordinates were all dressed in armor, and when they saw Yun Xi and his party coming, they saluted and said: "Soldiers in armor are inconvenient to salute, please allow military salutes." ”

Yun Xi couldn't bear it anymore and laughed. The civil servants in the back also laughed out loud. Some of the guards read more, and those who knew the allusions to the "Willow Camp" also explained to the others, and after a while, everyone laughed, laughing at a loss.

Yun Xi pointed to the soldier who brought him in (actually the general flag was pretending) and said, "Do you know that what you did just now has violated the etiquette law formulated by His Majesty, and you are going to lose your head." The man was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

He turned to Chu Zhen again and said: "Lord Chu, this is an allusion to the 'Fine Willow Camp', but the rules of this dynasty are different from those of the Han Dynasty, and Lord Chu's actions also violate the etiquette laws formulated by His Majesty, at least the dismissal of officials." ”

Chu Zhen and his subordinates were also so frightened that they wanted to kneel. But they were wearing armor today, and they couldn't kneel down at all, some of them knelt down and stopped halfway through their quick reactions, and those who reacted slowly fell directly to the ground.

Yun Xi also hurriedly helped up Chu Qian, who was kneeling halfway and didn't know what to do, and said: "General Chu, get up, the first time you come to the barracks today, I won't blame you; But you have to remember that I can't do this, and I will not tolerate it if it is effectively imitated in the future. "Even if this matter is revealed, it will not be mentioned.

When everyone got up, Yun Xi began to get down to business: "General Chu, Song Guogong should have mentioned to you yesterday about vacating the place, how are you preparing?" ”

Chu Zhen is not young, and he has experienced a lot of embarrassing things, so he quickly adjusted and returned: "Your Highness, you see that this school field in the east can be vacated as a place to accommodate the people; There is a small warehouse in the northeast and a public house in the north, both of which can be used to store grain; The second and third floors of the public housing can also be used as office space. ”

Yun Xi heard that he was ready, and praised: "General Chu is well prepared." However, this is less than half of the school field, won't it affect the training of soldiers? ”

Chu Zhen said: "It's okay. Originally, the school field was large, and the soldiers could be allowed to take turns to drill in several shifts. ”

Yoon-hee asked Lee Ren what he thought of the place. Li Ren looked at it for a while and said, "The location here is very good. Other officials of the household department did not object.

Yun Xi saw that the professionals were all approving, and felt that it was nothing, so he said, "Then so be it." The things in the school yard over there have been moved over there in a few days, and they will start to be used on September 27. Chu Zhi responded. After saying a few more words, Yun Xi was ready to leave. Chu Zhen led all the commanders and fighters to the door.

When he arrived at the door, Yun Xi mentioned it again before leaving: "General Chu must not be doing anything superficial in the future, just do a good job." Chu Zhen's old face flushed again, and Nuo Nuo responded.

After walking not far from Wu Dewei's gate, Yun Xi felt a little hungry, but it was inconvenient to go back to Wu Dewei, and it was too far to go back to the palace. was enduring it, thought of a place, and asked Chen Xing sideways: "Is the 'Shandong Noodle Restaurant' you took Gu to last time far away from here?" ”
