Chapter 200: Holding the Right to Kill, Only Seeking to Pacify the Tartars (Part I)
The West Garden of the Imperial City is the former site of the Yuanlongfu Palace, the West Palace was built here before the Yongle Dynasty moved the capital, in order to prepare for the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di to live in the three palaces of the palace city when the three major halls were not completed, and then the Renxuan Dynasty only repaired the original palace, and did not have much renovation. Only in the Tianshun period, the restored Yingzong because he had an indescribable feeling for the secluded Nannei, so he renovated the West Garden after rebuilding the Nannei, especially in the north of the Taiye Pond to build a series of chic palaces.
Now facing Qionghua Island in the south, there is such a series of palaces. The east bank is the Ninghe Palace, there is a wharf, the right Fei Xiang Pavilion, the left embraces the Cui Pavilion; The west bank is the Yingcui Hall and the Chengbo Pavilion; To the west of the north shore is the Taisu Palace, which is facing the water in front of the building, and there are Yuanqu Xuan and Huijing Grass Pavilion. These temples are covered with thatched roofs and whitewashed walls. It is said that it is a palace in the Imperial Palace, but in fact, it is more suitable to say that it is a private residence. At least for Xu Xun, who came here for the first time, he felt cordial when he arrived here, but Wang Shouren frowned thoughtfully.
"Hey, it's rare to let the emperor send an order to your young army to take a vacation for a while, and I borrowed this Taisu Hall to give you a distraction, don't look so disgusted, think I was ...... My dad also drank with the emperor here! Although he had already said that he was ripe, Zhu Houzhao still couldn't help pausing from time to time so as not to reveal his stuffing, "Especially Wang Shouren, what are you frowning about?" ”
"I just think that this place imitates a folk thatched hut, but in fact it has lost its real wild interest. After all, even if Xiyuan is not in Miyagi, it is also in Ouchi, and such a house is a bit nondescript. ”
"The ancients often used the word natural, which is about the case." Xu Xun answered, and when he saw Wang Shouren nodding again and again, he couldn't help but smile, "But I'm not as elegant as Wang Zhuzheng, I'm used to seeing those big tile houses with terrazzo and blue bricks. ”
"It's very much, that's why I borrowed a fishing rod to fish here!" Zhu Houzhao didn't care what was natural or not, he rushed to the side of the water, and saw that the ice on the water had been chiseled early, so he took the fishing rod from the hand of a little eunuch, and stuffed one into the hands of Wang Shouren and Xu Xun with a smile, and sat down and said, "I have more fish than anyone today!" Hmph, I can't compare to you in archery, so I don't believe that fishing today is not as good as you! ”
Although Wang Shouren only hated that it was too late, he simply hoped that one person would be divided into two halves, and there were twenty-four hours in a day, but at this time, under Xu Xun's slightly calm eyes, he had to sit down, only looking at the fishing rod with obvious absent-mindedness, and Jiang Taigong, who was fully eleven willing to take the bait. Fortunately, he only sat for a moment, and Xu Xun sat down next to him.
"Lord Wang, you are a lot older than me, so I will call you Brother Wang unceremoniously. In the past two days, you have been busy compiling the booklets of those formation diagrams, and you have been busy training those general flags and small flags, and you have been busy teaching the young army under the head to give lectures, and you have been busy teaching the little marquis archery, and it is not good for a string to be too tight. Although Xu Xun knew that Wang Yangming in history was definitely not short-lived, he didn't want to squeeze people badly, so after saying this with a smile, he continued without waiting for Wang Shouren to object, "Besides, I asked someone to mention it to His Royal Highness the Prince, because of the little marquis, His Royal Highness has already heard of you, and I am very curious about what you can twist the little marquis into." ”
Wang Shouren had no intention of fishing, and as soon as he heard this, he was even more uninterested in paying attention to the fishing rod, and at this moment he was almost as excited as the time when he was suddenly given a treasure bow and carved arrows. And Xu Xun knew that this had achieved the desired effect, and then deliberately asked: "Brother Wang, in addition to teaching the little marquis archery in the past few days, have you talked about other things?" ”
"How can I be free! Zhang Xiaohou's surname is jumping, and it is enough to surprise me to be able to come back and continue to practice archery. Besides, I just received the emperor's reward, I just want to do my best to serve, and I don't think those military formations are too late, isn't this too busy to think about this? Besides, he is not interested in the geographical location of the towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but is keen on those places to enjoy. ”
At this moment, Xu Xun almost wanted to roll his eyes. The emperor gave the bow, obviously because he rewarded Wang Shouren to lead the prince on the right path, but this person actually understood wrongly, and he couldn't remind him like this! So, he had to find another way to persuade: "The little marquis is young and fun, which is also normal." Brother Wang, although you are good at archery, you can't compare to those warriors in the army who are good at shooting, you only teach archery like this, even if the little marquis becomes a sharpshooter, you can't hope that the emperor will change you from literature to martial arts, right? As the head of the military department, tell him about the situation at Juyongguan Shanhaiguan, and if you have encountered a Tartar before, tell him what the situation was at that time, which is much more vivid than simply talking about the people's sufferings there. ”
Wang Shouren himself is in his early thirties but has no children yet, so he really doesn't have much experience in training children, and when he heard Xu Xun say this at this moment, he suddenly realized. Thinking that Xu Xun and Zhang Xiaohou were about the same age, he had to humbly ask for advice. When the two were muttering, no one noticed that Zhu Houzhao was no longer in his original position, and then the two of them only felt a burst of water crackling and falling from the top of their heads, and hurriedly got up and dodged back.
"Let you two come fishing, but look what you're doing here, that nonsense! I'm ahead of the curve, I can't catch a fish today, and none of you want to go back!" ”
Zhu Houzhao was unreasonable, Xu Xun was suddenly helpless, glanced at the frozen water, he knew that as long as he was patient, he would always get something, so he pulled Wang Shouren and sat down. I don't know how long he sat there, seeing Zhu Houzhao cheering for a while and catching another one, but the two of them didn't move, he almost thought that someone was doing something under the cold liquid pool, but when he was thinking about it, the float suddenly moved. Before he could be overjoyed and ready to pull the lever, a sudden shouting came from outside.
"My lord, my lord, my grandfather is here!"
"Huh?" Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, the fishing rod in his hand fell into the water all of a sudden, and then jumped up with a bang, "Where is the person?" Don't let him see me...... Miao Kui is very verbose, and he will definitely accuse me of being lazy in front of the emperor when the time comes! ”
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao, who had just flaunted his martial arts, suddenly looked like this, Wang Shouren couldn't help but be angry. Xu Xun knew the reason why Zhu Houzhao didn't want to see people, and immediately glanced at Zhang Yong, who came with him today, and saw Zhang Yong stepping forward and pulling people to slip away from the steps on the side to the Huijing Grass Pavilion, and he went out, and when he saw Ma Qiao followed by a group of people, although a eunuch at the head said that he was in his early fifties and had gray hair, he was tall and energetic, and his face was ruddy like a young man.
"Is it Commander Xu?"
"Exactly, is it the grandfather of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Miao?"
Xu Xun took two steps forward, Miao Kui didn't put on a show, stepped forward with a smile, looked up and down, nodded and said: "I said before that I wanted to use the school field in Xiyuan to train those government army avant-garde, but our family still thinks it's really a big fuss, these angels look at it, it's really like that!" It's not that our family is putting up a fight, our family has been out of the jam twice, once supervising the army and parting ways to march, I've seen the elite, and I've seen the unspeakable, your 500 young army has some rules! ”
"Thank you for the compliment."
Others came to the door in person to say good things, Xu Xun naturally would not push people out, and let Miao Kui go in with a humble word. However, Miao Kui waved his hand and said: "Don't go in, this cold day is full of earth dragon warm kang charcoal basins, which makes people very angry." I think that our family led the troops outside, but they didn't pay so much attention to it, and they couldn't stand it! Our family is here to give a word, train the troops well, and pull out a team of elites for those civilian officials to see, so that they don't think that there is no general in this world who has the ability to lead the troops, only they are the most powerful in the back! ”
Xu Xun heard Miao Kui say this, how could he not hear the contempt and dissatisfaction in this. The situation of the big eunuchs in this palace, Fu Rong lent him Jing Bule explained to him, so he knew that Miao Kui was quite disgraceful because of the previous victory of Yansui and the big bosses in the court, and at this time he just politely said a few words such as doing his best, and when he sent Miao Kui and his party away, he found that Wang Shouren had never come out of it, so he immediately turned around and went in, but found that Wang Shouren had not moved the nest while sitting in the previous fishing position.
"People are gone?" Wang Shouren asked without looking back, and when he heard Xu Xun hum, he said, "He, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, will drill the camp, and he will immediately come up to set it when he knows that you are now a holy family!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Shouren suddenly picked up the fishing rod, and a big fish jumped out of the water so lively, splashing everywhere. At this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't know where to get out, and asked Xu Xun a ghostly word to leave, and he was greatly relieved to learn that Miao Kui had gone back.
"It's okay, he's been verbose before, and I'm not happy to be caught fishing for a long time. Hey, Wang Shouren, since you have also caught a fish, it just so happens that I have something to ask you for help. I just remembered that Mr. Na Xixi in my house has assigned me an article today, and I don't have a clue, so you can help me read it in detail. ”
Wang Shouren only felt that his head was too big, it could be seen that Xu Xun glanced at himself, thinking of the burden of transforming this little marquis, he had no choice but to take off the fish and throw it into the bucket, and then followed Zhu Houzhao out. Xu Xunqing clearly heard Zhu Houzhao muttering about the verbose gentlemen in his family, and he couldn't help laughing after they left.
I don't know if Wang Shouren will do a ghostwriter, it seems that others think he is a nouveau riche, and this is not without benefit! However, Miao Kui, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, specially ran this trip a little weird, most of these Da Jue are going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, could it be ...... Is there a change in the military situation in the north?
