Chapter 115: Thousand Cow Imperial Sword
[The website is quite speechless, and there are repeated problems with automatic publishing.] No way, it seems that the update time can't be on time again. 】.
There is a row of high-eaves houses north of the school field, and Lu Siyi pointed there and said, "General, there is Zuo Fengchenwei's mansion and residence. The general is a six-rank reserve general, and there is a separate official office, which is not only the place where the general handles public duties, but also the place where the general lives. ”
Xue Shao looked at the building that was similar to the architectural style of his own mansion, with the same dougong, cornice, high beams and columns, and many such houses were connected into a large area.
"Where is my office?"
Lu Siyi replied: "Which room General Xue wants to live in will have to be arranged by Changshi at his discretion. The internal affairs of the Wei Mansion are all handled by Changshi. The last general took the general to see Feng Changshi, and his official office was in the Erjin Courtyard, together with the official offices of General Weifu and General Zhonglang! ”
"Okay." Xue Shao nodded.
There are not many personnel on the left and right Fengchenwei, and there is no general of the three ranks, and only one general from the third rank is the highest commander. Below the general, there are two lieutenant generals. These three people are Xue Shao's top bosses. There is also a person in charge of internal affairs, although his official position is half a grade lower than Xue Shao, but he has a lot of real power, at least he is in charge of everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and sign-in.
"General Xue came unfortunately, the two lieutenant generals have already taken their brothers to the palace on an errand. Now only Feng Changshi is in the Wei Mansion. Lu Siyi said as he walked.
"Where's the general?" Xue Shao asked naturally.
Lu Siyi smiled and said, "Our generals of Zuo Fengchenwei have always been inspected by General Zuo Wei and Li Xiaoyi, Duke of Liang County. It is rare for his old man to come to Weifu for ten days and a half months, and it is usually two Zhonglang who will go up and down. ”
Lee Hyo-yi?
Xue Shao's heart moved slightly, this person's name sounded familiar. He was able to serve as the general of the two guards, and even the personal guards under His Majesty were handed over to him to command, and it seemed that he was extremely favored by the two saints.
Lu Siyi took Xue Shao to an official office, where the books were like a mountain but not scattered, and there were six or seven civil officials in green robes writing or sorting out the bookshelves at the desks, a busy but not busy orderly atmosphere.
"Feng Changshi is here?"
"What's the matter?" A middle-aged scholar in a green robe and a shirt poked his head out from behind the bookshelf and glanced at Xue Shao, "This one is ......"
Xue Shao smiled and arched his hand, "Under Xue Shao, it is the new Qianniu who has come to take office." ”
"Oh, it's General Xue! The lower official is rude! Feng Changshi hurriedly put down the scroll in his hand and beckoned to several other civil officials, and a group of people hurriedly stood in front of Xue Shao and bowed their hands in unison, "I've seen General Xue!" ”
Except for one general and two lieutenant generals, there is no one in Zuo Fengchenwei who has a higher official rank than Xue Shao.
"Colleagues, you don't have to be polite." Xue Shao returned the salute.
"Xiaguan got an order from Shangfeng yesterday and informed the Wei Mansion that there was a new Qianniu Reserve, and it turned out to be General Xue!" Feng Changshi said with a smile, "General Xue is really dignified, with the posture of a dragon and a phoenix!" ”
"That's it, it's ......" The others smiled and followed, as if they had known Xue Shao for a long time and were very affectionate.
Xue Shao smiled, "Feng Changshi teased. I'm new to the city and don't understand anything. For big and small matters, we have to ask Feng Changshi and my colleagues to be more thoughtful. ”
"Well said, well said." Feng Changshi nodded with a smile, "General Xue, let the lower official take you to your official office first, after the lower official learned the news yesterday, he immediately sent someone to pack it up, just waiting for the general to take office and move in." ”
"Okay, there's work."
Feng Changshi and Lu Siyi took Xue Shao together to the first courtyard near the school yard that they had just passed, opened one of the mansions, and said: "The entrance here is the hospitality hall, and the official office and study are on both sides, and the main house in the back is the general's residence, and there are five other rooms next to it where the general's subordinates live. ”
Xue Shao smiled, so I am not a single commander, and there are soldiers under me!
"General, please!" Feng Changshi took out the keys and opened the doors of the official office, the study and the main mansion separately, and then handed a bunch of keys to Xue Shao, saying: "In the future, these places will be General Xue's territory, and the keys will be handed over to the general." Qianniu prepares for the first fifteenth of the Shuowang Dynasty must go to the court with the Beijing officials and hundreds of officials, and there are a total of 24 Qianniu guards on weekdays who are divided into four shifts, led by Zhonglang General to guard the palace under His Majesty. In other words, unless there are special circumstances, General Xue must only serve in the palace for about seven days a month. Other times......"
Feng Changshi smiled and didn't continue.
Lu Siyi gave Xue Shao a look on the side, and Xue Shao understood that this Feng Changshi's voice should be "except for the seven days when he had to be in the palace, there was nothing else to do." But what can be done outside of seven days obviously has to pass Feng Changshi's level, and housekeeping is one of the jobs he is in charge of.
The county official is not as good as the current management, it seems that this Feng Changshi is a pivotal figure in the Wei Mansion.
Xue Shao smiled, official, everyone gives each other some face and care, and it will be easy to do things. So he said: "My new official will set up a roast banquet in the near future, I wonder if Feng Changshi has time to come?" ”
"Oh, General Xue is warmly invited, how dare the subordinate push it!" Feng Changshi bowed with joy on his face, "The lower officials must be in person, and they must be in person!" ”
Lu Siyi smiled secretly on the side, looking at the horse that General Xue was riding, he could imagine that the people who could be invited to his roasted tail banquet were definitely not ordinary characters. Presumably Feng Changshi had already figured out the details of the origin of the new General Xue, and look, he was so happy to be invited to a roasted tail banquet!
"When the time comes, Ben will personally post the extension." Xue Shao returned the salute and said, "By the way, who live in these rooms?" ”
Feng Changshi's attitude immediately changed, and he was much more polite, "Each of these rooms can accommodate two people, and ten people in five rooms, which happens to be a 'fire'." After the predecessor Qianniu resigned, the room was vacated, and now who can live in again has to be decided by General Xue. ”
"Oh?" Xue Shao was a little puzzled.
Lu Siyi hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "General Xue, let the last general live in!" ”
Xue Shao's heart moved, did he want me to choose my own subordinates?
Feng Changshi said in a low voice: "General Xue, you can choose ten guards from this mansion to live in, and they will all be General Xue's personal entourage." If the general wants to take office, he must lead them with him. ”
"I see, thank you for the advice!" Xue Shao nodded, "Lu Siyi, then you can move in first!" ”
"Thank you, General Xue!" Lu Siyi was quite happy.
There are one hundred reserve officers, one hundred and fifty main battle officers, and two or three hundred ordinary guards in the entire Wei Mansion, but only one hundred and twenty people can become the personal companions of Qianniu Preparation.
"Feng Changshi, what about other colleagues?" Xue Shao asked.
"Today is Zuo Fengchenwei's post, and a Zhonglang will take six Qianniu and his subordinates to the Daming Palace Hanbing Hall to take office." Feng Changshi said, "Another Zhonglang general is leading the reserve to serve the court and has not yet returned home. Some of the other colleagues either went to take the middle vacation, and then they practiced martial arts on the school field or rested and studied in their rooms. In short, no one will openly wander around, and if they are bumped into by the imperial history, it will be troublesome. ”
Xue Shao nodded, Qianniu only needs to look at the court, and he must protect the emperor for seven days a month, and he should have a lot of private time, no wonder so many people envy this position.
"General Xue might as well wait, the next official will go and ask someone to get all the general's application things, and in addition, you have to ask someone from the Provincial Shangyi Bureau in the palace to tailor and customize the general's military uniform." Feng Changshi said enthusiastically.
"I don't need to tailor it, I have military uniforms and official uniforms and the like." Xue Shao said, "You just go and get something else." ”
"Oh? …… All right! Feng Changshi was stunned for a moment but didn't ask much, and said that he had military uniforms and official uniforms before he took office, which was really fresh!
Later, Feng Changshi asked someone to fetch a lot of things, nothing more than pen, ink, paper, inkstone, mattress, basins and bowls and other daily things, and then common military equipment such as bows and arrows, taper blades and rope knives.
Xue Shao said suspiciously: "Why don't you have armor and a thousand bull sword?" ”
"General Xue, the armor can only be issued by the Weifu military treasury on the day of taking office, and it will be returned to the military treasury as soon as it is used up." Feng Changshi's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "As for this Thousand Bull Imperial Sword, it's a long story." It's better to let Lu Siyi explain it slowly for the general. ”
"Could it be that there is a lot more to say about this?" Xue Shao was even more curious.
Lu Siyi hugged his fists and said: "The general doesn't know, the Qianniu Imperial Sword has always been personally awarded by His Majesty the Emperor, and the real Qianniu Imperial Sword in the left and right Fengchen Guards has always been only seven each, of which the general occupies one and the two Zhonglang will each occupy one, and the remaining four Qianniu Imperial Knife will be fought for by the twelve Qianniu Guards and the twelve Reserves." If you can't fight for it, you can only be equipped with an ordinary thousand cow knife - just like this one of the last generals. ”
After saying that, Lu Siyi untied the knife hanging from his waist and handed it to Xue Shao.
Xue Shao pulled out the knife and looked at it, the blade was bright and sharp, but it was shorter and wider than the ordinary horizontal knife. Such a knife shape is conducive to quick drawing, suitable for close combat, and is indeed tailored for bodyguards.
"Try it?" Xue Shao played with it in his hand, and felt that this Qianniu knife was more convenient and practical than the gorgeous and narrow horizontal knife.
Lu Siyi pointed outside the door, "General Xue, there is a knife test stone there." ”
Xue Shao took the knife out of the outdoors and slashed at the angular half-human-high test stone, and with a snort like a chopping piece of soft wood, he directly cut off a corner of a stone the size of a fist!
"Good knives!" Xue Shao couldn't help but marvel, he couldn't imagine that Datang could still make such a superb saber!
"General Xue, if you take the Thousand Niu Imperial Knife to cut this knife of the last general, then it will be like a thousand Niu Knife cutting this test stone." Lu Siyi's eyes were filled with light, and he said in a deep voice: "General, why don't you grab a handful?" ”
Xue Shao squinted at him, "How to take it?" ”
"Simple." Lu Siyi raised his eyebrows, "Defeat one of them, the one with the knife!" ”.
