Chapter 437: Returning Drunk
Lu You has never been in contact with the military, whether it is the general selection charter or what Yang Congyi has been thinking about in the past few days, in his opinion, there are many incomprehensible points.
If you don't understand or don't understand, you naturally have to ask.
Yang Congyi wants to pull him into the election of generals, must be the charter and the election of the camp to build the matter of the matter to explain to him clearly, if you know half, understand not enough through, one is not helpful, the other is because of the lack of understanding and retreat, in order to completely pull him in, you must be able to explain the details of the place to say in detail, as for the one that is not very clear, naturally skip it directly, and wait to go to the election camp camp, and solve it while building again.
For most of the day, Lu Youdu commanded the Yamen to select the general of the Yamen in front of the palace, and he read all the things that Yang Congyi gave him, so far he had a relatively vague understanding of the matter of selecting the general.
Even if he didn't know the Great Song Army, he didn't know much about the selection of generals, but he still vaguely saw from the pile of paper that this selection of generals was by no means as simple as Lord Yang said, and there must be a deep meaning in this, but Lord Yang had reservations and did not say it so clearly.
From this, it can also be seen that the election of the imperial court this time must be a major event.
What an honor it is to be able to participate in this event in person!
Lu You forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, put away the messy papers one by one, and returned them to Lord Yang, seeing that he was still busy at the desk, as if he was thinking and recording at the same time, he didn't bother, sat quietly, and carefully recalled the written materials about the selection of generals that Fang had just read, in order to understand them all and dig out the deep meaning.
Half a day passed quickly, and it was not until the time of the release that Yang Congyi put down the pen in his hand.
The general regulations that the general camp should have have been compiled a long time ago, but there are still many details to be perfected and supplemented, and he will be busy with these things in the next few days, and he plans to talk to the commander of the capital in detail before leaving Lin'an. said that he was specifically responsible, but in general, what should be said should be told to the official.
After leaving the Yamen, Yang Congyi explained to Lu You and asked him to wait outside the Qingbo Gate the day after tomorrow, and they went to Wuzhou together.
Lu You then said goodbye and left, he was now living in a relative's house outside the city, and he had to make some preparations before leaving.
After getting into the carriage, Yang Congyi asked Miao Jiu to drive straight to the Dongyue Inn.
Yesterday, I left a letter to Shen Jin and Jiang Kai, seeing that they were going to leave the day after tomorrow, but I didn't see them coming, I don't know why.
Shen Jin failed in the imperial examination, even if he had to continue to take the exam, he was too a student, he could skip the exam and take the provincial exam directly, that was also after three years, there was plenty of time, and there was no reason not to come when he saw the letter.
And Jiang Kai's situation is a little different, he is in the first class of high school, even though there are more than 400 people admitted to this department, the number of admissions is relatively large, there are no official vacancies, and he cannot be directly awarded officials, but after the selection of the officials, he has a great chance of awarding officials, after all, there are only so many people in the first class, all of whom are noble Jinshi and the first generation, who dares to look down on them and deliberately not give them officials?
At present, it seems that Jiang Kai should have his own place to go, either to enter the Hanlin Academy, or to stay in a certain department in Lin'an, and at the very least, to go to the county.
Although the two of them were the best candidates to enter the selection camp to assist, Yang Congyi didn't want to bring all of them to the selection camp, so it would be good to have one.
When the carriage arrived at the Dongyue Inn, Yang Congyi entered alone, and when Xiao Er saw that an official was coming, he hurriedly called the shopkeeper.
Yang Congyi didn't say much, and as soon as the shopkeeper arrived, he immediately asked if the letter entrusted to him yesterday had been delivered to Shen and Jiang.
This matter entrusted by the court officials personally, how dare an innkeeper be sloppy, and he hurriedly knew more than 1510.
It turned out that Shen Jin and Jiang Kai came back very late last night, drunk and full of alcohol, and didn't return to the inn until the third watch, and the shopkeeper waited until that time to transfer the letter to the two of them, and the rest of the matter was unknown to the innkeeper.
Yang Congyi didn't know what the reason was, they read the letter he left for them but didn't go to the palace to command the yamen, but since they had already arrived at the inn and met each other, they naturally knew it.
After asking Shen Jin and Jiang Kai that they were not at the inn at the moment, but they had not settled the bill and left, Yang Congyi decided to wait for the two of them, after all, the matter of selecting the general camp was very important, and it would be smoother if a few more acquaintances helped.
But this wait, it was an hour, and the two of them still didn't come back until sunset, Miao Jiu came in to remind Yang Congyi if he was going out of the city, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to go out of the city later.
I have to leave Lin'an early in the morning the day after tomorrow, there is not much time, if I can't see you today, I will see you tomorrow, I am afraid that I will have to delay the trip, after a little consideration, Yang Congyi has decided, today I must wait for Shen Jin and Jiang Kai.
Another half an hour passed, it was completely dark, and the city gate was about to be closed, but Shen Jin and the others still didn't come back, but Yang Congyi still had to wait, and Qingchen was probably still waiting for him to go back in fear at home, so he asked Miao Jiu to drive back alone to explain the reason to his wife, so as not to worry too much.
Yang Congyi, an official of the imperial court, can't wait in the lobby of the inn all the time, since he must see the two of them today, he can't say that he will also spend the night in the inn. The innkeeper was a bright-eyed person, and as soon as the lights were on, he prepared a first-class room for Yang Congyi and invited him to wait in the room.
In the room, he was still thinking about the construction of the camp, and he was very fascinated, and he didn't notice the passage of time.
"Lord Yang, have you slept?"
Outside the room, there was an inquiry from the innkeeper.
"What?" Yang Congyi got up and approached the door.
"My lord, the two Langjun you were waiting for are back and are in the lobby." The shopkeeper said respectfully.
Yang Congyi immediately opened the door, thanked him, and walked downstairs quickly.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Shen Jin and Jiang Kai drunk in the lobby, their mouths slurred, and they didn't know what they were shouting, but they could hear that they were very excited and proud, not frustrated.
Yang Congyi looked at the two who were drunk, and he didn't know what was going on, but judging from the performance of the two of them, there should be a great good thing coming, Jiang Kai should have been successfully assigned to the official!
He and Tang Xun were also very happy when they were conferred the title, but the two of them didn't have much money, so it was naturally impossible to eat and drink, so they could only order a few side dishes and improve the food slightly.
Looking at Jiang Kai and Shen Jin now, I'm afraid they are a little carried away, and it's not a good thing to get drunk every night.
Yang Congyi had something important to discuss with them, and if they couldn't talk about it today, they would have to delay it until tomorrow, and there would be other arrangements tomorrow, so he immediately asked the shopkeeper to prepare a sobering soup and asked them to take Shen and Jiang to sober up.
About two quarters of an hour later, Shen Jin and Jiang Kai returned to the lobby with the support of the innkeeper and Xiao Er.
Although the steps were vain, the look on their faces was much better, the two of them were quiet and sober, and when they saw Yang Congyi, they immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Are you two sober enough?" Yang Congyi looked at the two and asked with a smile.
Jiang Kai pushed away the shopkeeper who was holding him, and shouted, "Why is Lord Yang here?" ”
Shen Jin broke free from Xiao Er's help and took two steps forward, and reluctantly saluted: "I've seen Lord Yang." ”
Yang Congyi smiled without saying a word, took a few steps forward, supported the two of them on the left and right, and walked to the side and sat down.
After a short rest, he said, "Are you two more sober?" ”
Shen Jin hurriedly said: "Adult Haihan, I didn't know that the adults were coming, I ate more wine and dinner tonight." ”
Jiang Kai asked with drunken eyes, "I don't know what the adults are doing in this inn?" ”
Yang Congyi smiled: "It seems that you are sobering up." I asked the shopkeeper to pass on your letter last night, can you read it? ”
When Jiang Kai heard this, he raised his forehead and said, "Oh, I was happy for a while, but I forgot to go to the adult today, and I hope that the adult Haihan!" Haihan! ”
Yang Congyi smiled and said nothing, could it be that as expected, Jiang Kai had already been sent by the imperial court, so he was so happy?
I only heard Shen Jin reply very apologetically: "Lord Haihan, I was happy yesterday, I ate a few more cups with Brother Jiang, and we also read the letter from the adult, I wanted to take some time to meet the adult today, but I didn't want to miss the time on a whim." Now that Lord Lao is here, I'm really embarrassed! ”
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "It's okay, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, both of them are merry and talented, since they are interested, it doesn't hurt to drink a few more cups." ”
Shen Jin waved his hand again and again, and said busily: "My lord has won the prize." Instead, he asked, "I wonder what the adults are looking for me?" ”
Yang Congyi looked left and right, except for the innkeeper and Xiao Er, there were no other outsiders in the lobby, so he said: "A few days ago, I said that I wanted to find an errand for the two, and now there is an errand suitable for the two, before and after half a year, I don't know if the two are interested?" ”
Jiang Kai didn't say anything, and Shen Jin hesitated for a moment before asking, "I don't know what the errand is, where to go to handle it?" ”
Yang Congyi said in a low voice: "Wuzhou, in the army." This is also a major event of the imperial court, and I am in charge of it right now, and the day after tomorrow I will invite you two to join, what do you think? ”
Shen Jin glanced at Jiang Kai, hesitated for a moment, and didn't speak after all.
And Jiang Kai suddenly said: "My lord, I'm afraid Brother Shen and I won't be able to walk with adults, I also have errands to do soon, and I really can't spare time." I also hope that the adult Haihan. ”
"It's okay, since you have an errand, let's do your errand." Yang Congyi's heart moved, did he really guess it?
Shen Jin said: "My lord, why don't we go back to the room and talk?" ”
Yang Congyi nodded.
Then the three of them went upstairs and entered Yang Congyi's room together, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er retreated.
"I wonder what the adults are asking us to do?" Closing the door, Shen Jin couldn't help but be curious and began to inquire.
"This is the errand of the front division of the palace, to go to Wuzhou to build a selection of generals, used to select young generals, there are more veterans in the forbidden army, and at the moment there is no reception, the imperial court intends to select some young people through the selection of generals to train and enrich the forbidden army."
Although they may have other plans, Yang Congyi did not reserve it, and still told them the truth about the election, anyway, they would know sooner or later.
