Chapter 160: The Youth's Heart, Accompanying the King and the Tiger
After the will was issued, there was basically no possibility of a vacation for the martial arts boys, of course, this will was mainly aimed at the little emperor of Wanli.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, Wanli returned to the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, his face was very unsightly, but now everyone is listening and studying carefully, what Yu Dayou said is extremely sophisticated, and has attracted the attention of most of the teenagers, the teenagers are all children of the martial arts, and they are from generations of generals.
They already have a vague understanding of the army and operations, Yu Dayou does not talk about any military strategies, but tells everyone about the battles he has experienced in his career as a horse for so many years, and in the process of telling, analyzes the gains and losses and the strategies for coping with improvements.
This is completely a practical thing, the teenagers naturally know what this means, listen carefully and ask questions diligently, this is naturally the basic, every time during the recess, everyone has a heated discussion, and they have to go to the sand table to try to deduce.
Among Chen Sibao's group, Tang Sihai was not too interested in being an imperial businessman, while Chen Sibao and the other three were all honorable and martial artists, and they were not too interested in this.
For Emperor Wanli, it is very boring, most of the battles are not legendary, nor do they have a story surname, it is nothing more than sending soldiers to the right battlefield, and they will win without any accidents, what Yu Dayou is talking about is how not to have accidents.
For example, how to keep the other side from escaping, how to guard against the other side's sneak attack, how to maintain the route of transporting grain and grass supplies, how to fight in the southeast, how to fight in the north, and so on.
These courses, with Wang Tong's learning ability and serious attitude, feel a bit trivial and complicated, not to mention the Wanli Emperor who didn't plan to learn them in the first place.
After studying, Wang Tong found that his talent for this kind of tactics was not too high, and he could also feel it from the discussion and deduction that the teenagers, including Li Hutou, understood something deeper, after all, they had a similar cultivation since childhood.
Most of the people were enthusiastic, Emperor Wanli was not interested, and as a result, the current recess and intervals were restored to the appearance when they first came to the martial arts hall.
The little emperor is also an idle surname, always looking for something to say, a few fights, after saying what he saw and heard outside the palace, the two of them inevitably had to talk about political affairs inside and outside the palace, and it was sad to say, for the fourteen-year-old little emperor, he knew the most about this.
But the people and things that Emperor Wanli said, Wang Tong really didn't dare to make any comments, either the squire Lang Shangshu, or the eunuch of the cabinet scholar and the celebrant supervisor, he is now a general banner, and if he speaks rashly, if it spreads, it will be uncomfortable for himself.
Perhaps it was after such a long time of testing, Emperor Wanli knew that what he said had never been passed on by Wang Tong, this person was reassuring and reliable, and the little emperor didn't care too much when he spoke.
Moreover, Emperor Wanli is in the palace, his peers are eunuchs and palace maids, and the people close to him are all eunuchs and ministers.
When he arrived at this Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall, there were many people of the same age, but only Wang Tong knew his identity, and this Wang Tong also had a strict mouth, so he naturally became the object of confiding.
"Wang Tong, do you think Mr. Zhang is loyal to me? ”
On the eleventh day of July, Emperor Wanli asked this sentence, as soon as he said it, the cold sweat behind Wang Tong seeped out, how to answer such words, the emperor asked, it was obviously a doubt, if it was affirmed, Wanli may not be happy, but to deny, this word reached the ears of Zhang Ge Lao, it would inevitably be a disaster.
However, this sentence is not a problem, but an introduction, Emperor Wanli lowered his head and gently drew on the sand with his fingers, and said to himself:
"In the past, I had a little mistake, Mr. Zhang had to hold on, there was a typo in the copied post, and he had to be reprimanded sharply, this time there was such a big fuss in Shima Lane, and the queen mother was ready to let the widow go to kneel on the tablet of his father, if Mr. Zhang had in the past, he would definitely let the widow read the book of the saint and copy the ancestral teachings or something, but this time he went to the book to intercede for the widow......" Speaking of this, there was some silence, Wang Tong looked at Emperor Wanli still didn't know how to interface, then said that after the trouble in Shima Lane, Emperor Wanli began to worry when he went back at night, Tossing so much, after going back, he will definitely be scolded by the Queen Mother, and Zhang Ge Lao will not let it go, and he will definitely be punished for kneeling and copying books, and it will even affect Wang Tong and them.
But now this result is actually equivalent to no punishment, this matter is considered good, why does Emperor Wanli still have this problem, after thinking about it, Wang Tong can also guess one or two.
The teacher who has always been strict suddenly relaxes the requirements, and the naughty students will feel the joy at the beginning, but some students with some minds can later think about why the teacher does not care about them, whether they have other thoughts, whether they have given up on themselves.
Emperor Wanli is young, but after all, he is the master of this empire, Zhang Juzheng is not only his teacher, but also the steward of this empire, Zhang Juzheng has no admonition to Emperor Wanli himself who thinks it is nonsense, no reprimand, such statements and actions are really incomprehensible.
After being silent for a while, Wang Tong felt that this recess was extraordinarily long, but he had to say something after all, and he couldn't continue to be silent like this, Wang Tong said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, the captains of this martial arts hall, sooner or later will know Your Majesty's identity, they will be Your Majesty's most reliable courtiers and eagle dogs, Your Majesty of Shima Lane will stand up for Chen Sibao, everyone will keep it in mind, knowing that Your Majesty will protect everyone and support everyone. In this way, everyone will be faithful and serve His Majesty faithfully. ”
Hearing Wang Tong say this, Emperor Wanli's mood gradually rose, Wang Tong knew that he was right about the little emperor's thoughts, and continued to consider the language and said:
"Your Majesty's actions, maybe the Empress Dowager, Gonggong Feng, and Zhang Ge are all in their eyes, they are all transparent and intelligent, and they can naturally understand it."
Emperor Wanli listened attentively, his face eased slightly, but he didn't see any smile, Wang Tong racked his brains to prepare to say a few more words of explanation, at this time, the sound of the bangzi summoned by the teachers sounded, and the two people immediately stopped talking, got up and walked towards the assembly place, Wang Tong let out a sigh of relief.
The auspicious teahouse on South Street has been bought by Wang Tong, and the teahouse closes when it gets dark, but the lights are bright inside, and Wang Tong has already chosen the place where he is meeting.
Shuntian Mansion sentenced Lu Wancai to be there every night, the group fight in Shima Lane, everyone in Shuntian Mansion knows, Fang Da, the housekeeper of Anping Hou Mansion, scolded Lu Wancai in front of Fushou Building, but the next day there was no movement is also known to everyone, and everyone feels more and more that Lu Tuiguan is unfathomable and profound, and he doesn't know what big tree he climbed.
Lu Wancai naturally knew that this was Wang Tong's ability, and he became more and more determined to hold this thigh.
Moreover, among Wang Tong's small group, he is the most familiar with the Beijing Division, and he has to communicate with the three sects and nine streams in the Beijing Division, the heavenly and underground figures, and it is convenient to do it through him.
Wang Tong Zaohui, many things are understood thoroughly, and he has good ideas, but he seems to lack common sense, and the rest of Sun Dahai, Zhang Shiqiang, and Li Wenyuan have been at the bottom for a long time, and their vision is not high, and the new Tan General is said to be on an errand in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and he doesn't know much about some grassroots things, Lu Wancai just fills everyone's vacancy, and he now also claims to be resourceful.
On the evening of July 11, Lu Wancai entered the teahouse and was about to say hello with a smile, but he saw Wang Tong sitting at the top with a sad face, but things have been going well recently, the silver in each courtyard is being handed over in a pen, the Zhuangzi outside the city is recruiting Zhuangzi, and the family members have also begun to train, what is going on.
Lu Wan was just about to ask a question, but Wang Tong patted his face and asked:
"How about going to arrange eyeliner everywhere, I have listened to the sea in the past few days, except for Nancheng, there is no news sent from the rest of the places, our own manpower is insufficient, there is no way, and we can't find too many loyal people for a while, Brother Lu, you have to think more about it!"
Wang Tong shouldn't be worried about this, Lu Wancai understood in his heart, but he still replied:
"Don't hide it from Brother Wang, in addition to various places in Nancheng, this silver is also very reluctant to pay, the people we sent to collect the money naturally can't inquire about any news, Lu feels that it is really unnecessary for each family to arrange an eyeliner, a person can't inquire about anything in a big business, and there will be nothing wrong with a small business, it is better to let Wang Si and Li Gui and their two subordinates keep an eye on it more, the servants of Shuntianfu often walk on the streets, and they are also familiar with those buyers and sellers, and things are easy to do."
Wang Tong nodded, and slapped his hand on the table a few times, those who are familiar with him know that this little adult patted the table with his hand, and he was thinking about something.
Several people looked at each other, they were all confused, they hadn't heard anything big about it recently, what happened to Wang Tong, when the house was quiet, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and everyone looked at Wang Tong in unison, could it be that this is what adults are worried about tonight.
But Wang Tong's expression was also very confused, the sound of horses' hooves stopped in front of the door of the teahouse, someone turned over and dismounted, and the guard at the door immediately raised his voice to report:
"Lord Motoda Eihaoda asks to see!"
Now they don't belong to each other, what is Tian Ronghao going to do, Wang Tong said a word of invitation, Tian Baihu hurriedly walked in, and he didn't see the courtesy, and said in an astringent voice:
"Lord Wang, my father is seriously ill and wants to see you."
Speaking of which, I didn't go to help Tian Bosa sweep the ...... many mornings - not far from the front, everyone helped me over!!
