Chapter 578: The government army is avant-garde

The Imperial Taisun Palace is located in the southeast of the imperial city, the west of the Duanben Palace, since the fifteenth year of Yongle began to build, Yongle eighteenth year when the capital was officially moved. The whole palace is a red lacquer column, red wall and yellow tile, the main entrance of the outer courtyard wall hangs a gold plaque on a blue background, and the four characters of the emperor's grandson palace are written on it. The reason why the palace name was not given is because Zhu Di is undecided, but the deacons and palace maids of the Imperial Taisun Palace are all the same as the East Palace, and all the officials such as the attendants and attendants are carefully selected from the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Mansion.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yue rushed here. Although Qi Yu did not have to guard at home, let alone walk in mourning in the palace, he still wore green cloth boots decorated with rough hemp edges.

He first went to the military department yesterday to hand over all his official duties, and then went to the Zhan Mansion to meet him, but he didn't see a serious boss - the reason is very simple, the official Shangshu Jianyi, who is also the Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, is still in prison. As a praise reading, it is actually not the same as the reading and serving who specializes in lecturing, and he is not proficient in military affairs, so don't say that he doesn't understand the purpose of this trip, even the young Zhan Shi, who is now in charge of the Zhan Mansion, is also puzzled, but he has to let him enter and leave the Imperial Taisun Palace freely according to the emperor's wishes.

After staying at home for almost a month, standing in front of the public, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel that the bright sunlight was a little dazzling. Although he has dealt with Zhu Zhanji many times, and he often says a few words when he meets in the palace on weekdays, it is the first time for him to come to the Imperial Sun Palace like this. It wasn't until someone inside came out that he cleaned up his feelings, only to find that the person who came was a strange eunuch in his early thirties with a smile on his face.

"Lord Xiao Zhang, yesterday the emperor ordered that His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun should be in the vanguard of the palace army this morning, and you came just in time. Most of the civil officials in our Imperial Grandson's Palace have never experienced a battle array, and it is most suitable for you to serve His Royal Highness. ”

After saying this, seeing that Zhang Yue couldn't hide his stunnedness, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, doesn't Lord Xiao Zhang know this news?" cough, it must be those people in the Zhan Mansion who don't care about this so-called Dayue, so they forgot to tell you. It's not early, you're so inconvenient, you have to change your clothes quickly. The little Chen Wu is the close attendant of the imperial grandson......"

Zhang Yue, who was caught off guard, didn't have time to say anything at all, and was pulled in by Chen Wu. I saw that the regulations of this imperial grandson palace and the Qianqing palace were similar, the first entry was the east and west straight room, and when you entered the Changxing Gate in the middle, you will immediately be the main hall Chongben Palace. The whole hall of yellow glazed tiles rests on the top of the mountain, under the front eaves is the vermilion lacquer lattice door, look at the graceful atmosphere, but the light inside is dim, look in from the outside, it is impossible to see anything clearly. From the front eaves through the hall, this is the apse Mingdezhai.

"Yuanjie, you're here!"

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was already wearing a big red robe, wearing a silk crown on his head, and a sword at his waist, looking heroic. Waving his hand to signal Zhang Yue not to be polite, when he saw the dress, he immediately ordered Chen Wu to take Zhang Yue to change his clothes, and when the new clothes came out, he nodded with satisfaction.

"This is what I used to prepare for leaving the palace, but those bachelors who read it closely and didn't have a chance to wear it, so I didn't expect it to be used today. The avant-garde of the government army was the young army specially selected by the emperor's grandfather for me that year, and many of them also followed me to the north in the twelfth year of Yongle, but many of the previous batch were supplemented to the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, and now this batch was selected again from the guards at the beginning of the year. I haven't been to the big reading for several years, and if there are talents, I should pick up a few. ”

Zhang Yue has been in the military department for two years, and he also has a good understanding of the situation in Beijing and Jingwei. Hongwu Zhongzhi Jinyi Guard, Bannerman Guard, Fujun Qianwei and other 12 guards, Yongle Zhongfu Yanshan Left Guard, Yanshan Right Guard and other 10 Guards, a total of 22 guards, all of which are subordinate to the command of the Shangzhiwei pro-army. Among them, the avant-garde of the government army can be said to be ill-fated.

The avant-garde of the government army was originally ranked third among the twelve guards in Hongwu, leading the selection and training of the young army, and if it officially became the avant-garde guard, it was called the officer with a knife, and took turns to bring a knife into the palace guards. However, due to the involvement in the Lanyu case, the avant-garde of the government army was slaughtered in the Hongwu period, and it was not until the thirteenth year of Yongle that Zhu Di issued an order to select the young army for the emperor's grandson, reset the avant-garde of the government army, and placed officials at all levels, led by the governor Xue Lu. More importantly, it is designed to transport reservists for the three major battalions of the Beijing Division.

Although the avant-garde of the government army was in charge of the guards with swords, the camp and school field were outside the imperial city. Zhang Yue followed Zhu Zhanji out of Donghua Gate and Dong'an Gate, got on his horse and galloped for about a quarter of an hour, and arrived at the avant-garde school field of the government army located in the northeast corner of the capital. At this time, the officers who got the news all came out early, but they saw the flag fluttering and the army was neat, and almost all the officers were no more than 30 years old. When accompanying Zhu Zhanji to the high platform of the school parade, Zhang Yue looked at the royal blue jacket and couldn't help but think of the campus of Xuanfu University.

"Yuan Jie, do you remember the four people I lent you when you went down to Jiangnan?"

"Of course I do!" Zhang Yue suddenly recalled the thrilling experience in the Songjiang Mansion Inn, and immediately smiled, "Others say that I am a miracle shooter, but in fact, compared to a few of them, I was just lucky at that time." The four of them are skilled in martial arts and loyal, and they are indeed rare and good players. ”

"I'm not a good hand, how can I lend it to you? Compared with the Tiance guard of the King of Han and the Changshan guard of the King of Zhao, the avant-garde of my government army is not bad at all! ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled proudly, then sat down in the center, and bowed slightly to the five commanders of the government army standing on the left. When they went down to arrange the review of the whole army, he looked sideways at Zhang Yue.

"The strip you gave to the imperial grandfather before, the imperial grandfather passed it on to me. Although the northern expedition hit the Wuliangha people hard, but Arutai was far away, and the main force was not damaged, I am afraid that he would still not give up, so the emperor and grandfather had already begun to prepare for the transfer of Daning Sanwei back to his hometown. I'm afraid you should have thought of it today, the so-called praise reading is just a name for you. The avant-garde of the government army is my pro-army, but in essence, it is the reserve of the three major battalions, so it is extremely important. Didn't you mention military affairs before, you might as well give it a try in the vanguard of the government army this time. After all, this is the avant-garde of the government army, what do you do, I can say that the emperor and grandfather meant, do you understand? ”

Having said this, how could Zhang Yue not understand. However, this was really too far from the leisurely life he thought he had in mind, so he couldn't help but be stunned. Thinking of the smile on his grandmother's lips when he left, thinking of his father's expectations and expectations, and thinking of Du Juan's joke that day, he gradually came back to his senses, so he bowed slightly beside him.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister understands."

After receiving such an answer, Zhu Zhanji's heart was relieved, and he leaned back comfortably. He has been strictly urged to improve since he was a child, and when it comes to literature, he has read countless books and histories, but this does not mean that he is willing to be forced to work hard by those well-educated Confucians. As for the martial arts of riding and archery, although the experience of the previous Northern Expedition in distress was really unforgettable, if there were no other factors involved, he actually preferred the feeling of galloping on horseback. It's like he has always paid attention to the avant-garde of the government army, but he has always been controlled by those lecturers, and he can't directly interfere in personnel. If it weren't for Zhu Di's nod, I'm afraid he would have been persuaded to come to see the big reading.

I have seen several school parades on the Xuanfu University, which is known as the first in the world, and I have seen an unprecedented scale of hundreds of thousands of troops when following the Northern Expedition, plus I have watched the National Day military parade on TV, and at this moment standing on a high platform looking down on this parade, Zhang Yue has lost much amazement, but is just habitually estimating combat strength weapons and other data.

Although it is a little less real bloody and murderous than the elite Xuanfu Sanwei, the quality of the avant-garde of the government army looks good. At least the 1,000 people who pulled out the big reading this time are definitely of first-class quality. After all, unlike Xuanfu, Jingshi can have a teaching field that is more than ten miles long, and if it really pulls out all the avant-garde of the government army, I am afraid that this small school field will burst.

After the big parade, Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied, so he invited all the officers to commend and encourage him, and each gave him a certain amount of money. Seeing that these people were all happy, he pointed at Zhang Yue and said, "I haven't told you just now, this is Zhang Yue in the former military department's arsenal, and everyone must have heard his name." Now he is my praise, and he is ordered to serve the soldiers. Since the government army avant-garde is a young army specially trained for me, it has not moved for several years but it can't work, and from today onwards, I will personally review it once every half month. ”

Since he is a guard with a knife in the palace, the officers up and down the avant-garde of this palace army are naturally the most well-informed, and they don't know Zhang Yue. However, hearing the last sentence, the leading commanders were still startled, and one of them hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if there is no emperor's will......

"If it weren't for the emperor's will, I wouldn't be here." Zhu Zhanji's face turned cold, then he stood up, and asked lightly, "I forgot to ask you, where did Zhenfu Fangling go?" Everyone else is here today, why didn't he, who was born in the East Palace, come? Go back and remember to tell him that if the avant-garde of this government army fails, he will have nowhere to go! ”

Zhang Yue hadn't seen Fang Ling for a long time, and immediately remembered it at this time. However, this occasion was not suitable for him to say anything, so he accompanied Zhu Zhanji all the way back to the Imperial Sun Palace, and he only opened his mouth to ask, but Zhu Zhanji's face was very ugly.

"I originally thought he was steady and steady, but who knew that his mother had inadvertently seen him pulling and pulling with a palace person...... Yuan Festival, anything can be wrong in this world, that is, you can't make friends by mistake, you have to be careful. Sun Han is still a sincere person, but his father is lackluster with the Northern Expedition this time, and his riding and archery skills are even inferior, and the emperor's grandfather is very angry, if it weren't for Sun Han's infallibility on guard, I'm afraid even he would be involved. What the imperial grandfather hates the most is that the descendants of Xun Gui are not angry, and Sun Heng is too disagreeable. ”

Ying Cheng Bosun Heng lost the cavalry shooting competition before and was dismissed, Zhang Yue saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, and he didn't think it was strange. However, Zhu Zhanji's meaning between the lines was that Fang Ling and the palace people had a private relationship, which surprised him extremely much. However, in the face of the imperial grandson who was angry, he still swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

It's just that it's true that you don't know your face but don't know your heart, but since Fang Ling entered the East Palace, I have seen him several times, and he hasn't shown the slightest flirtatiousness and arrogance, how can he be the kind of person who doesn't know what to do? Now is not the time, and when his grandmother's funeral is over, he must find someone to ask carefully.
