Chapter 207: Scenery
Xu Xun is really good at making up his mind, this trick is simply wonderful!
Even if Li Dongyang himself is a young prodigy, he has been accustomed to seeing those who claim to be young and heroic over the years, but most people are just prodigies who can write a chapter if they have a divine mouth. At this moment, seeing that Ma Wensheng was stunned, Liu Daxia was stunned, Liu Jian Xie Qian and Dai Shan were all stunned, and at the same time, he was amazed in his heart, and at the same time, he saw the face of Emperor Hongzhi with great joy.
Happy is happy, but Emperor Hongzhi still has to do it. He pressed down Zhu Houzhao, who was about to jump up, and looked at Wang Shouren again: "Wang Shouren, Xu Xun is here, what do you say?" β
Wang Shouren also didn't expect Xu Xun to hit the idea on those hereditary military attachΓ©s who only took money and didn't work. At this time, the emperor asked himself, although he was a little hesitant how Xu Xun could impress the most lazy hereditary officers, but he still immediately replied: "Back to the emperor, Xu commanded this proposal well, and the minister seconded it." β
"That's good!" Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction, and immediately said with a smile, "Wang Shouren, since you are the head of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, you just cooperate with Xu Xun to select a group of officers and young soldiers, and I will leave this matter to the two of you." Today, I am very relieved to see you rehearsing the military formation. As a civilian official, he knows the military formation and archery, and he has an ancient style, which is very good! You continue to stay in the vanguard of the army, and after you have trained these two thousand young troops, let's talk about it! β
The emperor has made up his mind, and the six bigwigs look at me, and finally have to remain silent. At this time, Xu Xun pulled Wang Shouren without a trace, and at the same time bowed down to thank him, and when he stood up, he found that Zhu Houzhao was squeezing his eyebrows at him there, and he couldn't help but laugh. Only after the words were finished at this moment, he and Wang Shouren were not qualified to continue to stand on the high platform, and the two of them came down the stairs from the side under the guidance of Sun Bin, the master of ceremonies.
Only then did he say hello to Sun Bin, and when he saw people go upstairs, Xu Xun only felt that his sleeve was pulled by someone, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Shouren staring at himself excitedly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, the little marquis is His Royal Highness the Prince!" β
"I told Brother Wang earlier, so what will you do?" Xu Xun saw that Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, and then his face was heavy, and he smiled, "If you know, then you won't treat each other with a normal heart like before, not to mention trembling, at least you will think about it again and again, then it won't be interesting." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the smartest person, as long as he is aware of your intentions, then this scene will not be able to sing. β
"I see......"
Wang Shouren let out a long breath, although he still regretted that he had missed this best natural opportunity, he knew that Xu Xun was right-he had known that Zhu Houzhao was the crown prince, and he would definitely present all the military regulations he had carefully prepared, and he would definitely take out a few maps that he had easily searched, and he would definitely not be so strict and harsh when he taught archery before...... You must know that those East Palace speakers have been on duty for several years, and they may not have seen the prince as much time as him!
"I really didn't expect that I obviously lost the bet we made before, but I won that bet a long time ago."
"This is called intentionally planting trees that do not live, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade." Xu Xun smiled, and when he saw that everyone in the civil official array on the left was looking at him, he coughed dryly and said, "Brother Wang hasn't been home for three months, and even the New Year has been spent in Xiyuan, so hurry up and meet Ling Zun at this time, I think he has something to ask you." I have to go see my dad too. β
Wang Shouren hurriedly looked up, and saw that his father Wang Huaguo was really looking at him, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry on his face, so he immediately nodded to Xu Xun and walked quickly over there, while Xu Xun walked slowly to the military attaches on the right. Although he saw Xu Liang who was full of concern and anxiety, he still had to salute the British Duke Zhang Mao and Zhu Hui and others according to his official rank, and dealt with the praise of these top nobles or sincere or false, and finally arrived in front of Xu Liang after a long time.
"Oh, I was still telling Xing Anbo just now that he really raised a good son." Shouning Hou Zhang Heling suddenly interjected, and said with a smile on his face, "It's only been three months to practice such a scene, and now those old adults have nothing to say, it's really happy!" β
"Master Hou has won awards, but it's just a soldier's life."
Just now, Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, also said a few polite words to him, and at this time, seeing that Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, had changed his position to a bunch of counts, Xu Xun remembered the arrogant reputation of this in the past, and he was really surprised in his heart, but he had to be humble. But Zhang Heling didn't take Xu Xun's humility to heart, and for a while, he held people to the sky in three or two sentences, and even forced himself to invite Xu Xun to come to his house to enjoy the flowers, so he sat down satisfied.
Xu Liang waited until Xu Xun and the rest of the people had seen the salute, and saw that there was no reaction on the high platform, so Xu Xun stood up with Xu Xun's eyes and walked a few steps quickly with his son. When he got to the back of a willow tree, he didn't care that the willow had not yet pulled out the buds, and there were inevitably people who paid attention to his father and son, so he hugged Xu Xun's arm and smiled happily: "Okay, good, I knew you could do it, and you really passed the test beautifully!" β
"Dad, I haven't even been able to spend the first year with you after entering Beijing, I ......"
"Qin's fate is like the sky, loyalty and filial piety are in dilemma, and your father still has this knowledge." Xu Liang smiled as if his face was full of wrinkles, and slapped Xu Xun twice vigorously, "Seeing you show your face in front of the emperor, and seeing those people who have nothing to say, your father and I will be happy!" When I go back today, I'll cook and make you braised pork! β
"Okay, after eating the big pot of rice for three months, my mouth is dull and tasteless, just waiting for your father's words!" Xu Xun nodded again and again with a smile, and suddenly turned his head to look at the high platform, although he could only see Zhu Houzhao's silhouette, but think about the past three months and this prince said that they have been meeting every day, compared to the occasional meeting in the past, they are naturally and much closer, and they unconsciously quipped, "Dad's cooking skills, but His Royal Highness the Prince also remembered it when he was in Xiyuan!" β
"Stinky boy, you still make fun of me, you think your father and I don't know this truth, and what you can't eat is always the best!"
Xu Liang and Xu Xun father and son talked about the family relationship of three months of separation in this compartment, and the same is true of Wang Hua and Wang Shouren father and son in the other compartment. Only Wang Hua is not like Xu Liang, he is a genuine strict father, as soon as he saw his son, he first lowered his face and reprimanded him, even if he heard about Wang Shouren's experience in Xiyuan for three months, he was only slightly moved, and a thousand words only turned into one sentence.
"Things must be reversed, prosperity must decline, you are with the prince of Xing'an this time, the limelight is too big, don't say anything else, those officials in the East Palace are afraid that they will treat you as a thorn in their side!"
And for these 500 young soldiers, the practice in front of the emperor is already something that they can't dream of, and when the praise is issued, they are reluctant to kowtow excitedly and thank them, and as soon as the celebrant and the clerk leave, they immediately cheered, and they hugged each other at once. And Ma Qiao and a few other hundreds of households, you look at me, and each other's faces are full of excitement.
A hundred households are at the feet of the Son of Heaven who is not worth anything in this command, and now with this name, they deserve their scenery, and these three months have not been in vain!
So, a few people summed it up, and everyone publicly pushed Ma Qiao, who was usually the most trusted by Xu Xun, to come up. The big black man strode forward, and angrily gave a heavy chestnut jujube to the few general banners who were as crazy as the people below, and then shouted loudly: "Don't just patronize and be happy, and don't forget all the things that have been practiced for many days before when you turn around and disperse!" Also, everyone has benefited, don't forget who you are today! β
"Of course it's my lord, and the king is in charge!"
"Yes, we finally have money and food to receive in the future, so let's get together and have a good meal with the king!"
"Just how to eat and drink, you should find the best Qinglou courtyard in the capital, so that our adults and the king can have fun together...... Ah, when are you coming back, my lord? β
Coaxed and even Qinglou said that it was the most lively general banner with the surname Cai Qi'er. In the past three months, the general flags and small flags that were initially promoted were the most hardworking, and in the end, only two were replaced, and the rest were the original ones. Cai Qi'er, who turned her head at this moment, stared at Xu Xun for a long time as if she had seen a ghost, and finally said curtly: "The little one is just talking casually." β
"Talk about it......" Xu Xun snorted lightly with a sinking face, his eyes swept over the others again, and seeing that there was silence all around, he couldn't help but be very satisfied with the results of these three months, so he said unhurriedly, "From now on, you are not only the main army, but also the people with knives of His Royal Highness the Prince, don't compare with those regular army remnants who are wandering around the streets just to do odd jobs, especially such a joke!" β
Seeing that a person drooped his head and obediently listened to the training, he didn't want to simply pour cold water on people at this festive time, so he slowed down and said in a gentle tone: "Of course it doesn't matter if you are your own person, just don't let outsiders hear it, and save the time when those imperial historians sacrifice the tried and tested treasure knives again, and cut you crying dad and calling mother!" Okay, they are all heroes today, don't give me a depressed pretending to be fucking, gather together to thank the emperor for receiving the knife, and then go back to see your old son and mother! β
"Oh!"
With these words, the young soldiers suddenly burst into louder cheers, and everyone's faces were full of joy and joy. After three months of hard training, and now they have achieved positive results overnight, what they want to see most is, of course, their parents and family!
