Chapter 437: The Disciple Army

In the early spring, Concubine Hui Tong Qing'e became pregnant, and the second concubine announced that she was pregnant, which made all kinds of rumors that the emperor was ill after the assassination self-defeating, and the Empress Dowager Cining was the happiest, and the constraints on the emperor were not so strict.

Han Ruzi was also very happy, but it was a pity that the person who was pregnant was not the queen, he had done his best to have sex with the queen most of the time, but the pregnant person was a concubine whom he rarely favored.

It was like a pre-agreed decisive battle, the generals of both sides carefully arranged their troops, and in the end it was a sudden storm that decided the outcome of the battle, and the winner was happy, but he didn't know why.

But the victor is still the emperor after all, and Han Ruzi took advantage of this opportunity to gather the children of the clan to cultivate the fields in the name of celebration.

In addition to plowing the fields, several hunting drills are also carried out.

According to the rules, hunting should be carried out after autumn, and in spring, everything grows and all animals live, so it is not suitable to hunt, so it is only a drill, and it is not really a hunt.

Most of the young children of the clan who came to Beijing to participate in the great festival were ordered to stay, and more children were recommended to go to Beijing from all over the country, making up the number of 800, plus the same number of children of officials and 400 children of good families in the capital, a total of 2,000 people.

Before going out of the city to hunt, the written examination and martial arts test for half a month of advanced behavior are divided into A, B, C, and D, with first-class civil and military excellence, which can be generals, and second-class civil and military excellence is an official, and a martial arts officer is a general, and a third-class officer is an officer, and a soldier is D.

All appointments are temporary, not included in the roster of the military department and the official department, and the official position is withdrawn at the end of the hunt, but all the actions of this army, from marching and camping to hunting, are determined by themselves, and are no different from ordinary armies.

Everyone understood that this was a test for the emperor, and that those who could stand out in this hunt were very likely to get a real official position afterwards, so they were all enthusiastic and tried to make a good impression on the emperor.

At the same time, the triennial examination has also arrived, and people from all over the world have entered Beijing, and it is rumored that those who have passed the Jinshi examination this year are the luckiest and are very likely to be reused by the emperor.

This year has just begun, and some people call it the "year of the big test".

The day before he was about to leave the city, Zong Zhengqing Han asked to see the emperor.

According to the rules, the minister should write a book to talk about things, but Han Ji directly asked to see the emperor, because what he wanted to talk about was "family affairs", which should not be written into the chapter, which was seen by outsiders, and was not suitable for being recorded by historians.

This conversation took place only between the two monarchs and ministers, and the observers were no more than two eunuchs.

Han Heel sat on the round stool, holding his hands to keep his body balanced, his back bent, and his neck as straight as he could, every time he saw him, Han Ruzi would think of the old turtle that had become a sperm, but such an association could only be hidden in his heart, and it could never be revealed.

Han Ji is a respected old minister of the clan, not a close minister of the emperor who can joke at will.

"Your Majesty has created a 'subordinate army', the clan is excited, no, many people feel that eight hundred people are too little, and they plead with me, hoping to add some more places."

Han Ruzi knew that Han Yu still had nothing to say, and said with a smile: "This is not a 'child army', in addition to the young people of the clan, there are also officials and descendants of the people, taking advantage of this good spring scene, to accompany me out of the city." ”

"Hehe, it's good to go out, I think back then, Emperor Wu went out of the city almost every year, and he also gathered many children of the clan, hugged each other and fluttered the flag, that kind of scene, experienced once, and I will never forget it for a lifetime."

"How many times has the boss been there?"

Han Ji left the cane with his right hand and raised four skinny fingers, "The old minister is fortunate to have experienced it four times. ”

"The boss is worth his life."

"It is the greatest blessing of the old minister to be alive to see the return of the prosperous era of Great Chu."

Han Ruzi laughed and said, "Just with the words of the boss, I must also work hard to create a prosperous world as soon as possible." ”

Han Heel flattered, Han Ruzi was modest, the two politely exchanged words for a while, and Han Heel finally got down to business, "Your Majesty's selection of generals this time doesn't seem to take into account the noble background." ”

"This is not a selection of generals, it's just a game, all official positions are temporary appointments, and they are withdrawn afterwards, there is no need to distinguish between the high and the low, right? What's more, they are all children of the clan, and they are both noble and cheap. ”

Han Ji shook his head firmly, he had lived for more than seventy years, and some things were extremely important in his eyes, "Otherwise, there is no noble or low in the clan, but there are relatives." There are also 800 children of officials in this 'army of disciples', it is said that His Majesty does not ask about his background, even the descendants of the seven-grade officials can be selected, and there are 400 descendants of ordinary people. ”

"For example, when the Huns attack the capital, or when a fierce beast pounces in front of me, and warriors are urgently needed to come forward, do you still have to divide the high and the low?"

"Alas, Lao Chen understands what His Majesty means, but the difference between respect and inferiority must be there after all, otherwise, who should the preserved Great Chu Jiangshan belong to? The old minister dared to say that he really wanted to judge the merits of everything, but he was afraid that the Han family might not be able to grow up in the world, and the so-called high merit covered the master, and His Majesty had to guard against it. On the dignity and humility, it starts with the clan, and then it can be promoted to the court and even the world. ”

Speaking of stubbornness, the old Han Heel is not much worse than the young Han Ji, but the goal is different.

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "The boss is too worried, there are more than 100,000 children of the clan, in terms of the size of the family, there is no one else in the world, can't you choose a few talents who can protect the country?" Please also have some confidence in me, I am not afraid of someone 'covering the master', but I am afraid that no one will want to make great achievements. ”

Han Ji hurriedly got up and saluted, then sat down, and said: "Your Majesty is not afraid, but Your Majesty's words and deeds today will be the law of the future generations. The old minister is shallow, and he only hopes that His Majesty will think twice before and have no regrets afterwards. ”

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "I already understand, the boss is going back, I have my own arrangements." ”

Han Ji stood up and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise and wise, there is no one in a hundred generations, the revival of Great Chu is close at hand, the old minister is ignorant and dead, please Your Majesty not only look at temporary gains and losses, but also think about the well-being of future generations and future generations." ”

Han Ruzi smiled and nodded, really unwilling to argue with the clan elders.

As soon as Han Heel left, he muttered: "Thousands of generations, is there really a thousand generations?" ”

When Emperor Wu was alive, the strength of Great Chu reached its peak, and then it took a sharp turn, and in less than ten years, it had declined to the point that it was not what it was, and the prestige of Emperor Wu had not even been passed down from generation to generation, let alone thousands of generations?

Han Ruzi could only hide such thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't say it to anyone.

The generals of the hunting team have been appointed, and it is impossible to change them, but Han Ruzi still made a little compromise and appointed five princes' sons or grandsons to serve as the guards, both of whom were not outstanding in the previous civil and military selections.

Early the next morning, the emperor bid farewell to the empress dowager and the empress, went out of the city under the escort of a thousand Su guards, and joined the 1,000 northern army and 1,000 southern army outside the city, and went to the Jingbei mountainous area, where is the royal garden, the place is vast, the terrain is changeable, and it is suitable for training the army.

As for the other "army of disciples" of 2,000 men, they had already set out a day in advance, set up camp, and waited for the emperor to review.

The first thing Han Ruzi did when he arrived at the garden was to plow the fields himself, and many ministers then sowed seeds and covered the soil, and the historians recorded the time, place, official position and other items in detail, and archived and collected them for later generations to use when compiling historical books.

After ploughing the fields, most of the officials returned to the city to work normally, and the historians also left, turning a blind eye and not being bothered by the emperor's next "willful" actions, as if they had never happened, and did not record them.

Although it was just a drill, Han Ruzi finally returned to the barracks, and everything was done cheaply according to military law, and there was no need to talk about so many etiquette.

Early the next morning, he went to the camp of the "Zidi Army" to inspect under the support of the King of the East China Sea, Cui Teng and others, and these two people had a stable position and did not want to grab meritorious service, so they would rather stay with the emperor than join the army, so as to avoid the embarrassment of inferior skills in civil and military selection.

The barracks are well arranged, quite veteran-like, but the armor of the soldiers is not very neat, many people bring their own armor, the style is not much different from ordinary soldiers, but the material is much more valuable, either gold or silver, shining in the sun.

After reviewing the military appearance, the soldiers practiced various forms, followed by a martial arts competition, which was divided into two categories: horse and foot combat, which lasted for two whole days, and then "hunting".

Han Ruzi was very satisfied, wrote down the names of many people, and argued with the king of the East China Sea and others about who had better riding skills, better archery skills, and stronger marksmanship.

The barracks are basically full of young people, the oldest is not more than 30 years old, teenagers occupy the majority, it is the time to compete for victory, so the competition is very lively, there are a number of private fights outside the field, Han Ruzi doesn't care, just look at the reaction of the generals.

In the evening of that day, the emperor feasted dozens of outstanding soldiers, although drinking could not exhaust sex, but when they thought of the bright future in the future, everyone was red-eared and warm-hearted.

The last time Han Ruzi traveled, he used the march to test a group of noble children, and most of these people are still there, and their performance is still excellent, which makes Han Ruzi even more satisfied.

After nightfall, Han Ruzi went back to the camp of the guards to rest, and although the tent was simple compared to the palace room, it made him feel more comfortable.

Two days later, in the morning, Luan Banxiong, the leader of the Yunmengze bandits, was escorted in.

This is the will of Han Ruzi in the city, as soon as Luan Banxiong arrived, he was immediately sent to the emperor's army, Han Ruzi wanted to see the appearance of this bandit leader.

In the end, all parties compromised, Luan Banxiong's prisoner car did not enter the city, and it was taken over by the Northern Army and Jin Chunzhong outside the city, and it was directly sent to the emperor, and then handed over to the relevant ministries according to normal procedures.

Han Ruzi was not annoyed by this arrangement, but felt interesting, he had a little bit of a sense of the context of rules and conventions, many things can actually be accommodated, but new rules and conventions will not be formed, and naturally there is no imitation problem that Han Yu is worried about.

The means of accommodation must be exquisite, Han Ruzi is studying, and there is no teacher, so he can only understand it by himself.

Many people tried their best to squeeze into the big tent where the emperor was, hoping to get a sneak peek.

Luan Banxiong can be said to be famous, a bandit leader, he was able to confront Da Chu and almost succeeded in assassinating the emperor, this kind of thing is rare in all dynasties.

At nearly noon, the prisoner car entered the barracks, and Jin Chunzhong entered the tent and saluted the emperor, "The bandit leader is fierce and does not choose his words, and there should not be too many people left in the tent." ”

The people who came to see the excitement were disappointed, only Han Ruzi understood that Jin Chunzhong would not make suggestions casually, there must be other reasons. (To be continued.) )
