Chapter 0421: Selecting the Forbidden Army
Zhang Yue returned home by carriage, his wife Fu Jinqiong came out, and he couldn't help but talk about it again, and suddenly felt troubled in his heart, secretly blaming Li Duoshou for many things, and now the Fu family is not easy to answer when he asks, and he is entangled and confused, and he has become a wicked person who beats mandarin ducks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fu Jinqiong didn't know much about Zhang Yue, so she didn't realize it, and said with a smile: "It is said that the emperor intends to accept the second sister of the fourth uncle's family into the palace when the mourning period of the first queen has expired, and welcome the second sister of the fourth uncle's family into the palace, and welcome the queen as the main wife. ”
"What does the Wei Wangfu have to do with me, how can I need this kind of nepotism to stabilize my position? I just live in Beijing, who dares to underestimate it? Zhang Yue's words were displeased, and he regretted his words, and sure enough, Fu Jinqiong listened to it, stared at Zhang Yue with wide eyes, full of grievances and incomprehension.
"Alright, alright! Don't talk about this, take care of our own business! Zhang Yue hurriedly comforted her, lest she think too much. The more this matter is explained, the more troublesome it becomes, and I can say in my heart that Zhang Yue's status today does not have anything to do with Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei. In the Battle of Xinkou in Taiyuan that year, Fu Yanqing didn't want him to make too many meritorious contributions, so he made a big splash with his fame.
"Is the Wei Wangfu really unrelated to our family?" Fu Jinqiong sneered, very unhappy in her heart, every time she entered the palace back then, the first queen rewarded her, in fact, she helped a lot, but at this time she was not easy to mention.
"I've said don't do anything more, what are you going to do? Li Duoshou is kind reminder, Wei Wangfu just listens to it, what if you don't believe it? The second sister entered the palace to be the queen, and I didn't dare to climb high as a foreign handsome. ”
Zhang Yue is telling the truth, his contribution to recovering Hehuang is already very large, and it is not appropriate to climb the imperial family again. But these words changed when Fu Jinqiong heard them, and she was very angry in her heart, so she brushed her sleeves away silently, and went back to the bedroom and never came out again.
Zhang Yue was depressed, walked out of the back hall and walked around the courtyard, the weather was still a little hot at dusk in August, the cry of a child came from the west wing courtyard, so he turned along the corridor, and saw Qiu Xiang and a servant woman bathing his son Zhang Han in the courtyard, and the little guy was sitting in the bathtub playing in the water, unwilling to wear clothes.
Seeing Zhang Yue coming, the servant woman hurriedly picked up the child, and Qiu Xiang said goodbye with a cotton towel in her hand. The little guy was wet and crying, and when he suddenly saw a person coming in from outside, he immediately stopped talking, babbling and waving his chubby little hands.
"Dress him and coax him, feed him and go to bed early, so that he will not wake up at night and cry!" Zhang Yue commanded, too lazy to pay attention, the child is too young to only know how to eat, drink and sleep, his thinking is very jumpy, and he can't speak, he doesn't have the patience to tease the child.
"Yo! How did you get here! Haven't eaten yet? Cheng Yachan heard the voice come out, with joy in her eyes.
"You're not ready?" The six women in the family are all separated from each with a small courtyard, and Zhang Yue will each stay there for a few nights, but if she goes home during the day, she will be in the main courtyard of the back house.
Cheng Yachan glanced at Zhang Yue with a smile, stretched out her hand to pull him aside, and asked in a low voice: "It's not your turn, she will be angry when you come over, won't it be noisy?" ”
"Nope! What can be noisy? Zhang Yue suddenly found that after being in the field for a long time, he didn't have any topics with the women in the family, most of them just talked about the children, as well as the family's income and expenditure accounts, etc., but Song Yaozhu has been helping him do things recently, and he has been with her a lot.
Cheng Yachan hesitated in her heart, she also wanted to keep Zhang Yue, but she still spoke: "It's very noisy with a child, or ...... You better go to Sister Yang, it's time to go to her side tomorrow night, her family Xuan'er is well-behaved, she doesn't cry or make trouble and loves to laugh, it's very likable! ”
Zhang Yue wanted to stay here, but she didn't want to dislike her, but it was not good for her to leave immediately if she was so humble, so she went into the hall room to take a look, and saw that there was still a pipa hanging on the wall.
"It's been a long time since I've played it again, right? Can it be? Zhang Yue opened it and picked up the pipa, the strings were deliberately relaxed, which showed that it had not been used for a long time.
"How could it not, if you are proficient, it is your own, and you will never forget it!" Cheng Yachan smiled.
"Good! When we have time, a few of our families will study together, and we can form a band! Zhang Yue thought it was funny, and when Cheng Yachan heard it, she gave him a blank look, and couldn't help laughing.
In the next half a month, Zhang Yue went out early and returned late every day, redrew all the maps of the Privy Council, and presented them to the palace, Guo Rong was very surprised, and immediately asked the chamberlain to change all the maps, and asked many details about the southern expedition should pay attention to, leaving Zhang Yue to have lunch in the palace to show his honor, and when he went back, he was rewarded with a set of brocade robes, boots, hats, and jade belts.
On the first day of September, Guo Rong drove the Chongyuan Palace, the guard was like a cloud, the palace was strictly forbidden, and he ceremoniously accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials, and issued an edict in court: it was planned to march south in October, and ordered the forbidden army to prepare in advance, and gathered in the West Church three days later.
Although the Colonel of the Forbidden Army is a dispatch officer, he has the seal of the commander and the right to appoint temporary personnel, but he does not open the government, has no subordinate officials, and does not have a guard of honor. However, how to choose soldiers, Zhang Yue already has a case, and he has a way.
In the early morning of the third day of the ninth month, Zhang Yue got up in the middle of the night, and practiced martial arts such as swords, guns, cavalry and archery in the west of his house, especially the big gun, which is now replaced by a whole stainless steel.
Practicing martial arts was time-consuming, hurriedly had breakfast, and was sent out of the house by his wife, Zhang Yue rode a horse, took Li Duoshou and Yang Xuanli out of the house, and went to Xiangguosi Bridge to take Feng Qianhou, Shen Jingang and other three hundred horsemen, and carried the lantern all the way to the Xijiao field near Liangmen.
The hour was still early, and the school field was empty, but the lanterns had been hung on the review stand, and there were forbidden soldiers on duty, and the large camp in the north was also brightly lit, and it took time for the soldiers to get up, wash, and gather out of the camp.
Zhang Yue dismounted in front of a row of regular public houses behind the school review stand, and an officer on duty came out to greet him when he heard the voice, but his rank was not high. only said words of greeting, and did not report his name, this is the habit in the forbidden army, Zhang Yue frowned, and asked with a straight face: "What's your name?" Newspaper number! ”
"The last general, Dong Pengzu, is subordinate to the front of the palace, and the commander of the right wing of the crane is the commander of Sun Yanjin's personal guard!" The junior officer was overjoyed when he heard this, and the officer asked his name, which was a rare opportunity.
"Your department is on duty in the camp today, right? Send people to the camp to give orders, so that the armies will quickly come out and line up, and the hour will not wait for anyone. In addition, I sent someone to check on the side of the Guards, and the soldiers were all lined up. Zhang Yue said sternly, in fact, the hour is still early, but he must urge, it is better to let the armies arrive early, if there is a mistake, it will be difficult to do.
