"My lord, I have arrived in the capital. In the voice of the pro-soldier, there was excitement that could not be concealed, but looking at the majestic Yanjing City, the gentle eyes were very complicated.

He put forward the request of Zhishi, in addition to being afraid of Xie Hong, more to avoid the whirlpool in the court, although he is a martial artist, but he has a family background, and he also has a hateful understanding of the terrible political struggle, especially at the moment, it is still the most terrible kind of political struggle, that is, the war between imperial power and military power.

Although he was very reluctant, the emperor's order could not be violated, and after handing over to Han Fu, he still had to leave for the capital and came to the center of this whirlpool.

"Brother Wen, if you come, you will be safe, anyway, you and I are not officials in the court, and as teachers in that military academy, isn't it just that you can attack and retreat? Why bother? "Deputy Chief Soldier Feng Cheng is more gentle than Wen Ming, he was originally from Jingwei, and he is still very content to be able to return to his hometown.

So, in spite of all the mild worries, he was in a good mood. And what he said was also true, even if the scholars were able to counterattack in the future, it would be impossible to liquidate them together, the scale was too large.

You must know that with the current scale of the academy, if you count the teaching and students, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands, and this scale is still expanding. With today's momentum, when the scholars succeed in counterattacking, even if there are 1 million people, it is not known, and the law does not blame the public, can they still liquidate so many people together?

"That's what Brother Feng Xian said." He nodded gently, but the worry in his eyes did not melt at all.

Feng Cheng is a pure martial artist, he will not know the mind of a scholar, some people often say: the most poisonous woman's heart, in fact, to put it mildly, the most poisonous thing in the world is the scholar's heart. If you can't defeat the tiger and wolf, how can you survive in the officialdom?

No matter how ruthless a woman is, she can only hurt one or two people around her, but when those scholars are ruthless, it often means a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Moreover, the more ruthless it is, the stronger the rebound, since the Ming Dynasty, today's Zhengde Dynasty is probably the most suppressed moment for the scholars, if the scholars turn over, it is bound to be doubled to find back, when the time comes, even if a million are implicated, what is it? In such a situation, how can mildness not be worried?

"Let's go into the city, go and find out the way, let's go directly to the Military Academy." It was useless to think too much, so he took a deep breath gently, raised his horsewhip, pointed to the city gate, and commanded the soldiers around him.

"Yes, sir." Someone went as ordered.

"Brother Feng Xian, do you want to go home to visit first, or do you ......" Wen Wen turned his head to Feng Cheng and asked.

"What's the need to hurry home, Brother Wen, I'll go with you to Yingmao." Feng Cheng smiled and rejected the gentle offer.

"Well, let's go see what is going on first."

After a while, the soldier who had gone to ask for directions returned, and the excitement in his voice was even more difficult to suppress.

"Lord Qiyu, I have already found out clearly, the military academy is in the West Garden of the Imperial City, and the school field where the emperor said that he often drilled soldiers and horses."

"Phew!" Wen Wen immediately gasped, afraid of something, he knew why the soldiers were excited, and being able to practice on the same school field with the Son of Heaven was naturally a supreme honor for these little soldiers, but for him, this matter was getting worse and worse.

"Imperial City West Garden? Good place, Brother Wen, horses are not allowed to gallop in the capital, let's get off the horse and walk, right? Feng Cheng laughed, obviously in a similar mood to the soldiers.

"It's fine." Gently and forcefully calmed down, and responded.

The prosperity of the capital is naturally far better than that of Santun Camp, including Feng Cheng, who has been in the border for several years, everyone is dazzled, and their ears seem to be a little insufficient.

Therefore, along the way, everyone's mood is getting higher and higher, and only the mild mood is getting heavier and heavier.

The border army of Jizhen originally had no conflict with Xie Hong, and Wu Yu's encounter only made everyone a little afraid of the legendary plague god, except for the people of the Wu family, no one could talk about any hatred.

What's more, since the expansion of the Guards, the enthusiasm of the military households in Jizhen is not under the current Xuanfu, and the reaction is extremely enthusiastic, and the fear of the plague god has also turned into admiration.

Therefore, when they heard the words of praise for Xie Hong coming out from time to time on the side of the road, everyone felt quite pleasant. But Wen Wen was frightened, with Xie Hong's strategy, he obviously would not do such an unwise thing, that is to say, the counterattack of the scholars began.

This kind of rumor is difficult to stop in the first place, not to mention the praise that conforms to the will of the people, even with the current strength of the imperial party, it is difficult to take effective measures. But if the killing has an effect, maybe the good situation of the imperial party will be ruined, and if you enter Beijing at this time, won't you hit the knife edge?

Thinking about it, Wen Wen's heart is also getting more and more worried, in his opinion, walking towards Xiyuan step by step is like walking towards the ghost gate, and he rubbed into Xi'an Gate like this.

The nine gates of the imperial city are all heavily guarded places, but the original Xi'an Gate does not have the momentum of now, although the door is wide open, and the palace wall is not very manpowered, but as long as you get close, you can feel the murderous aura rushing to the sky.

Wen Wen and his party are all old soldiers, and they are extra sensitive to this aspect, and the shock is also extremely strong, and even Wen Wen, who is not in his heart, raised his head and looked at the palace gate in surprise.

There was dust and smoke everywhere, and it was obvious that there were a large number of people and horses coming and going, but strangely, there was no half of the shouting, and only the sound of neat and heavy footsteps echoed in the huge West Garden.

Wen Wen and Feng Cheng glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's hearts, originally heard that the emperor was training troops, and these generals were a little unimpressed, just as children were playing, even if the guards had won a series of victories, it did not change their perception.

Those dolls of the Guards have a holy drive every time they fight, and they are all officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they see the imperial flag, the opponent has already numb their claws, and then there are those new firearms made by the champion Hou, what is so strange that they will achieve victory?

It's better to be famous than to meet, and after seeing the scene of the guards in person, Wen and Feng were awe-inspiring in their hearts.

Not to mention anything else, the posture forbidden by this order alone is enough to be called elite, and if you add the legendary momentum that is not afraid of death, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strong army in the world.

The sergeant guarding the door seemed to have become accustomed to someone poking his brain outside the door, and even if there were many strong men in the gentle group, they did not interfere with it, and still looked around vigilantly.

"This ...... This general is gentle, this is Feng Cheng, and they all came to the Military Academy to respond. Wen Zi was already cautious, but at this time, he was taken by the guards and soldiers, and he was even more careful in his tone, and even speculated about what to call after he spoke, although the other party was just a small soldier.

"General Wen, please wait, Rong Biao will go down and report it." Although the sergeant guarding the door was full of pride, his tone was kind, and he took the paperwork that was gently handed over, and turned to go in.

Proud soldiers!

Wen Wen understood where the arrogance on the faces of these people came from, he had seen it before, but he still sighed in his heart, he originally thought that the temperament that could only be seen in those veterans who had been away from the battlefield for a long time and were invincible had appeared in a group of teenagers, which was indeed convincing.

"Brother Wen, Brother Feng, why did you come so late, let me wait." A burst of laughter interrupted the gentle sigh, he looked up, and saw a person walking out of the gate, at first glance it looked a little familiar, thinking carefully, he couldn't help but lose his voice: "Zu Dahuan...... Ancestral brothers? ”

"It's the little brother, I met in Shanhaiguan back then, I don't want Brother Wen to remember the little brother, Brother Wen really deserves to be a Confucian general with all-round talents in civil and military affairs." Zu Dahuan was dressed in military uniform, refreshed, and after nodding to the sergeant guarding the door, he stepped forward to hold the two of them and said with a smile: "The younger brother will take a step first, just to introduce the two eldest brothers." ”

Although he is not very familiar with the "...... who has worked", he is more or less an old man, and as far as Wen Wen knows, the other party's experience is also somewhat similar to his own.

"Brother Zu, isn't the emperor among them?"

Entering the West Garden, the situation in the school field was mild and more clear, as he had guessed before, under the smoke and dust, there were indeed large groups of people and horses practicing formations, advancing and retreating, all lawless, thousands of people were going back and forth, but they were just silent.

"I'm usually here, but today it's not a coincidence, the emperor has political affairs on his side, and the holy driver is in the school building to meet the Ryukyu envoys." Zu Dahuan was also shocked when he first came, so he also understood the mood of Wen and Feng, and explained with a smile.

"Meet the messenger at the school building?" Wen Wen was stunned for a moment, and when he met with the envoys of the vassal country, shouldn't he be in the Taihe Palace? And it should be received at the court, right? How did you get to the academy's campus?

"This is ......" Zu Dahuan scratched his scalp, and he didn't know how to explain it, "Anyway, after we get there, the two brothers will know it when they see it." ”

"That's fine." From the moment he arrived at Xi'an Gate, Wen Wen's heart was full of doubts, but seeing Zu Dahuan's appearance, he was also a lot more relieved, since this person can adapt to it so much, it shouldn't be difficult for him.

"Brother Zu, there is one thing, I don't know whether to ask ...... or not"

"It's okay, Brother Wen, don't look at the Holy Driver's permanent residence here, but there are very few scruples in this academy, even if you are dissatisfied with the government, you can spit it out, you just have to open your mouth if you have something."

"Uh......" mild and sluggish, the capital is really different, there are so many weirdness, and the soldiers can still talk about the government? At the time of the Hongzhi year, if anyone dared to say such things in the army, they would not be crowned with several major crimes, and they would be directly dragged out to practice military law?

"These soldiers...... It's all practiced by the emperor himself? Or is there someone else who is pointing out? However, hearing this, Wen Wen relaxed his mind, and was a little hesitant, but now he asked calmly.

"It's all practiced by the emperor himself." Zu Dahuan's reply was very simple, and seeing that there was still a suspicious look on Wen Wen's face, he explained: "When the army first became an army, although the Hou Ye was also in the capital, he didn't interfere in this matter, and later he went to Liaodong, so it was even more impossible to manage the capital. ”

"If that's the case, in the way of military service, the emperor is indeed talented!" After glancing at the school field again, Wen Wen suddenly changed his words and said suspiciously: "However, since the emperor can train the three thousand guards in the past, tens of thousands of people must be fine...... In this way, wouldn't it be useless for us to wait? ”

"When the little brother first came, he also had this worry, worried that he would be idle here...... "Zu Dahuan told the truth, when he was in Jinzhou, he felt that it was already God's eyes to be able to pick up a life, where would he think of any fame and fortune?

"But that's not the case, although the emperor is smart, there are many precedents for training and fighting, but the details of the marching formation are not something that can be understood by talent alone, so I still have a place to help, and the emperor also attaches great importance to us."

The words were gentle and nodded repeatedly, marching and fighting are easy to say, but in fact, there is a lot of knowledge. For example, marching is a big problem, how to find the road, how to explore the terrain, where to camp, where to line up, these details are impossible to comprehend out out of nothing if you have not experienced them.

Feng Cheng's mind was relatively wide, and when he heard this, he put his heart back in his stomach, and laughed: "I see, in this regard, we can still come in handy." ”

"The teachers and students in the academy all live in the barracks, so what's the inconvenience of the two brothers?"

"No, of course not."

"That's good, here it is." Zu Dahuan led everyone to a barracks, and after pointing out the location clearly, he said with a smile: "The barracks will be handed over to a few little brothers to tidy up, and the two of you will go with me to see the driver first." ”

"See the driver? Isn't the emperor receiving envoys? ”

"This, the younger brother doesn't know, if the principal is here, the new teachers have to go to see the principal, this is the rule of the academy, it has always been the case, as for the envoys, let's just wait."

In the few colleges outside, the students are all vice principals like Tang Bohu and Wang Shouren, but if you enter the palace, you have to see the principal Zhengde, which was the case when Zu Dahuan came, and he was also greatly surprised by this.

"Since it's a rule, it should be so." Wen and Feng were dressed and followed behind Zu Dahuan.

The school building in Xiyuan is actually the former leopard room, Zhengde's soldiers are more and more, plus the military academy, Xiyuan is also crowded, and Zhengde can only live back in the Forbidden City, contributing the original dormitory.

The leopard house was built last summer, although it is not as magnificent as the other palaces in the Forbidden City, but it is not shabby, especially the yellow dragon flag erected in the square in front of the door, which adds a bit of majesty and domineering.

"Receiving the messenger here, it will not fall into the majesty of my Daming......" When he arrived at the door, Zu Dahuan entered the report and the gentle two looked around, and they were also very admired.

"Brother Wen, look over there...... The one who probed his brain seemed to be Gonggong Liu. Feng Cheng's attention was focused on another matter, and he didn't echo the gentle words, pointing to a dark corner and said.

"Which Father-in-law Liu? Could it be Liu Jin? Gentle asked in a low voice.

"Isn't it him, look at his thief eyebrows...... "At first glance, it's not to do a good thing, Feng Cheng didn't finish his words, but the meaning was reached, both of them were puzzled, it is said that this guy is also a neighbor next to the holy car, why did he suddenly make such a sneaky appearance, could it be some conspiracy?

"Two brothers, summoned by the emperor, please go in with the younger brother."

Before the two of them could think clearly, Zu Dahuan turned back with a spring breeze on his face, and what he said firmly attracted the attention of the two. When they were overjoyed, they turned their heads to look back, only to find that Liu Jin had disappeared from that corner, as if it had never appeared, only the darkness there was still the same.
