On October 12, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou, Marquis of Yongning, led the civil and military officials of the shogunate, together with the general army of Datong Town, Wang Pu of Dingxingbo, Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanda, Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, Wei Jingyi, the governor of Datong, and Du Xun, the supervisor of Xuanfu Town.

At this time, Omubu and others, who were in the town at this time, greeted Li Banghua, the minister of the Qincha, and his party.

Li Banghua imagined various situations, how would Wang Dou treat himself when he met, and treat him coldly? Dismounted? Sword and neck? Axe is coming? But what he didn't expect was that the greeting ceremony was very grand, which gave the minister enough face.

I saw that at the beginning of the greeting place, the Hongzi warm shop in the east of the city eight miles, has set up a high color shed, and then all the way to the Andingmen in the east of the town, as well as the road from East Street to the Zhenshuo General's Mansion, all of them have been cleared, and the personnel have all made a detour, leaving room for the honor guard of the minister.

Li Banghua and his entourage can finally walk in the middle of the avenue.

He was satisfied, but he didn't know that the townspeople of Xuanfu were all scolding behind their backs, you must know that now Wang Dou's honor guard is traveling, and there is no one to clear the field, and he consciously walks on the right, and does not delay pedestrians to walk, and the townspeople are also used to the shogunate.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the demotion of the Beijing division arrived, it was chaotic, and how many things were delayed by the big guy, which was really disturbing the people.

In addition, if it is still the case, it is necessary to tie all the colored sheds on the way to meet the chincha for several miles or ten miles, and the shed must be pasted with red yarn and silk, as the place where the chincha stays, it is necessary to add the best red silk, and the shed must also be tied finely and use the best wood.

This is inevitably wasteful, and it does not conform to Li Banghua's frugal Confucian thoughts, and it seems that Wang Dou also thinks so. Therefore, only in the Hongzi Nuan paved the color shed, and then there is a gong and drum team to welcome the road, which can be described as concise and magnificent, solemn and not lacking in grandeur.

In short, a series of bright faces are laid out, full of dignified atmosphere, and there is no stumbling block or the like, just like his behavior, disdain conspiracy and trickery, and oppress people with dignified power.

Li Banghua stroked his beard and nodded, quite satisfied with Wang Dou's arrangement. At the same time, the heart is awe-inspiring. The more people like Wang Dou, the more difficult it is to deal with.

The officials greeted each other for a while, and everyone set off and went all the way. I heard the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of the mountains. There are countless men, women and children crowded on the side of the road to watch the excitement.

Let's not talk about disturbing the people. Everyone still likes to watch it.

And now the people of Xuanfu Town have become accustomed to holding a small flag of the sun and moon whenever there is something, and when the guard of honor comes. But seeing countless small flags flying, it is really a scene of colorful flags fluttering, gongs and drums in the sky, and a scene of celebration and jubilation.

Li Banghua almost burst into tears, he didn't expect the people of Zhencheng to be so devoted to the imperial court, after all, they are people from big places, and their quality is different from those small places.

Only the flag-bearers holding "quiet" and "avoidance" in the honor guard were a little embarrassed, and the situation in front of them was very different from the content of the signs they held. The gongs and drummers in the team also stopped, and the sound of gongs and drums around them was already noisy and their ears were dizzy.

But it was better to be warmly welcomed than to be left out, and they also had a feeling that it was more novel and comfortable than the fear of the small people, kneeling and silent.

Before entering the town, the majestic city also made Li Banghua breathtaking, "Jiubianchong wants to count Xuanfu", "Jingshi lock key", "Shenjing Pinghan" is not casually said.

Originally, the town of Xuanfu was six miles long and thirteen steps long on each side, twenty-four miles in circumference, and there were seven gates and one pass, which can be described as a tiger standing in a column. Now the town is more lively, in addition to the inside of the city, there are more and more towns outside the city, and there is a sense of bustle.

In the past, the three gates of Xuande, Cheng'an, and Gaoyuan that were blocked by the defense were also opened, so that the Anding Gate in the east, the Taixing Gate in the west, the Changping Gate, Xuande Gate, and Cheng'an Gate in the south, and the Guangling Gate and Gaoyuan Gate in the north were all unobstructed, making the flow of people more and more.

However, looking at the shops on the street, the streets are wide and tidy, especially the houses are lined up, and the people are gathered, inexplicably, Li Banghua sighed again, compared to the prosperity of Xuanfu Town, Jingshi is too decayed, and it is not the atmosphere of the capital of a country.

Li Banghua couldn't find fault with the etiquette of Wang Dou's greeting, his every move was full of respect for the court, except that there was no loess paving, clear water and clean streets, Wang Dou did everything he could, giving Li Banghua and others enough face to the court represented by Li Banghua and others, and he did not neglect himself because of the affairs of the court.

Li Banghua's heart warmed, and he guessed in his heart that maybe he entered the country by himself, and his subordinates did something to hide from him, or maybe the martial artists had a small pattern and a narrow vision, and they only paid attention to the things around the town and city, and neglected to discipline the outsiders.

After all, in the past, the commanders of each town only paid attention to the things around the town, so how could they take care of the rest of the road?

Looking at the cleanliness of the streets in the town again, maybe Wang Dou is worried that the loess paves the road, but it is dirty, or the clear water cleans the street, what if it is icy and slippery.

Li Banghua thought to himself.

He traveled all the way, in addition to observing the surroundings, he also paid close attention to observing Wang Douren and others, and spied on their attitudes towards him.

When he was in Beijing, Li Banghua did not see Wang Dou, at this time, he was wearing a python robe, and his bearing became more and more majestic and unpredictable, he was on the horse, with a faint smile on his face, sometimes talking to himself, sometimes waving his hand to greet the people, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.

Wang Pu, as an earl, has an honorable status, riding a horse and walking beside Wang Dou, but he ignores himself, smiling, just learning to wave his hand like Wang Dou, and sometimes whispering something to Wang Dou, and the two of them have a knowing smile on their faces.

Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanda, is neither salty nor indifferent to himself, and Du Xun, the eunuch of the supervising army, looks indifferent, he looks up at the sky from time to time, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

Only Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, and Wei Jingying, the governor of Datong, had a smile on their faces, as if they were really happy about their arrival, and at the same time, they were really pleased with the courtesy that Qincha and his party received.

In addition to being respectful to Wang Dou and others, I also have great respect for my angel line, which also makes Li Banghua satisfied.

He looked at the officials and generals under Wang Dou's command, and it was obvious that these people were indifferent to him, and they were more likely to deal with it, even with a smile on their faces, and they were also smiling very fakely, it seemed that his words in the court had offended them.

Li Banghua actually pays attention to these people, especially their temperament and clothing. Look at the clothes they wear, they are the so-called Jingbian clothes.

At this time, the warriors among them, wearing the winter clothes and gifts of the Jingbian Army, the right robe of the style of dragging, the fine wool turned over at the edge, the Sanshan warm hat on the head, the felt wool boots, many of them also tied cloaks, and pinned swords, there is a cruel beauty in the flying.

Li Banghua was in a trance for a while. It was like a large group of brocade guards standing in front of him.

Literati among them. But he wore a soft hat, and he wore a tight-fitting robe, covered with short-sleeved shirts, and wore a sword at his waist. All of them are elegant and heroic. Li Banghua muttered in his heart: "The ancient style of the Han and Tang Dynasties ......"

He had to admit it. Compared with the mere scribe's uniform, the literati costume in the Jingbian Army is more attractive. It makes people have the urge to abandon the pen and follow Rong.

Even their little soldiers, with thick long armor, shining copper nails on the outside, fine iron arms on both arms, and a cyan coat with a fur bib, kept warm and did not affect the battle, and with a hat and helmet, the bright red of the inner armor was exposed in their demeanor, and they were heroic and pleasing to the eye.

The Ming Dynasty costumes have reached their peak in terms of color, and the Jingbian Army has inherited and carried forward, and it is indeed a unique army.

……

With all kinds of complicated thoughts, Li Banghua followed Wang Dou and others into the Zhenshuo General's Mansion, and when he arrived at the lobby, he saw that the incense case offerings had been placed above, Li Banghua walked to the top end, his face was flat, and he shouted: "There is a holy decree, Yongning Hou, Xuanfu Town Chief Military Officer, Zhenshuo General Wang Dou receives the decree!" ”

He paid close attention to Wang Dou's expression, and saw Wang Dou kneeling down, and said loudly: "Minister, Wang Dou receives the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Li Banghua's heart was relieved, and he slowly recited the holy decree, and everyone below listened, hearing that Wang Dou was named the general of the levy and capture, and served as the protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and added back to the crown prince, and the people in the hall all had different expressions.

The members of the shogunate, the generals of the Jingbian army, took care of each other and rejoiced, although they respected Wang Dou as a general in the past, in fact, Wang Dou was not an authentic general, and now he is worthy of the name, especially at this time, he has reached the highest status of a warrior.

Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanda, smiled, and Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, and Wei Jingyi, the governor of Datong, glanced at each other, and both saw the wry smile on each other's faces.

Du Xun, the supervisor of Xuanfu Town, rolled his eyes, and muttered something on his lips.

Wang Pu, who was standing next to him, showed a very envious look on his face.

Wang Dou received the holy decree, Li Banghua continued to read it, and summoned Ji Junjiao to come up, but when she saw Ji Junjiao coming, she didn't squint, her face was full of awe-inspiring righteousness, which was very different from the image she saw on weekdays, but she was born charming, and her every move still had an indescribable coquettish taste.

Everyone didn't dare to look at it, and Li Banghua also secretly said in his heart: "The red face is in trouble, the heavenly family does not accept a charming woman to enter the palace, this government is very good." ”

He read out with a straight face: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Today, there is Wang Ji's virtuous and virtuous Shude, chaste and Huimin, and Mrs. Zhengyi Shude, admire this." ”

Ji Junjiao's face was neither happy nor angry, and she said coquettishly: "Thank you to the emperor concubine, long live long live." ”

She took the holy decree and left, Ji Shiwei looked at her back in surprise and joy, Zhong Zhengxian and Xie Yike's faces were not good-looking, and the rest had different thoughts, only Wang Dou stood beside him, still with a faint smile on his face.

Zhu Zhifeng and Wei Jingyu made a straight face, the court is making such a fuss, although the Marquis of Yongning regards Ji Junjiao as his wife, but in the eyes of these scholars, the Ji family is still a concubine, and for thousands of years in China, how can there be a plan to seal the concubine room? Where have the princes of the Ministry of Rites gone? What nonsense!

Li Banghua also shook his head secretly in his heart, quickly skipped this section, and read out the holy decree to Han Chao, he also paid attention to the expression of Han Chao, and saw that this Yongning Hou henchman general had a flat expression, and seemed to be disapproving that he had become the lord of a town, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

He carried a lot of holy decrees this time, and read out the rewards one by one, and after announcing them to Wang Pu, he saw the earl smile and said, "Thank you, Long live Lord." ”

He took his reward of one hundred taels of silver, and when he went down, he said loudly to the people beside him: "One hundred taels of silver, what a lot of money, look, it is still the best gold and silver." ”

Wei Jingyu and the others looked embarrassed, Li Banghua's face tightened, the imperial court really did not do this authentically.

Finally, the decrees were read out one by one, and when his hands were empty, Li Banghua was a little dazed, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

……

There are many ceremonies for treating the ministers, how to welcome, how to stand, what to pay attention to when receiving the order, how to treat the Qincha after that, etc., there are a set of rituals, but Li Banghua is only a passing Qincha, when Wang Dou and others received the order, he became the deputy protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

In addition to getting close to the attaché, accompanying those escort eunuchs, brocade guards, etc., who represent the weight of the imperial court, rested for a few days, and then returned to Beijing.

According to their status, they were sixty-six silver yuan, eighty-eight silver yuan, and one hundred and eighty-eight silver yuan, which made these people surprised and delighted, and the whole resentment was swept away, and they were all full of praise for the benevolence and righteousness of Yongning Hou, and his generosity.

It was only in the afternoon that the Qincha announced the decree, and it stands to reason that Li Banghua should go to bathe and change clothes, and wait for the evening reception, but he didn't care about resting, first saw the Dadu Protector Dou at a glance with the official ceremony, and then he, the overseer, took the Qincha Yuwei, and seemed to be going to lecture in the lobby now.

……

Outside, there were scattered snowflakes again, and it seemed that the entire Xuanfu town was shrouded in confusion and chaos, and the cold was quite strong, but Li Banghua's heart was hot, and he didn't feel the cold at all, only with sharp eyes, he scanned everyone in the hall.

Wang Dou was on the tiger skin chair of the main seat, alone, looking around, and Li Banghua himself sat on the side of the main seat in the first place, and the deputy capital protector was second only to Wang Dou in the capital protection mansion, ranking before the shogunate officials.

Then the first guest seat is Dingxing Bowang Pu, he is an earl, the dignity of his status, more expensive than Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, and he is a guest, so he sits in the first guest seat.

Below are Ji Shiwei, the governor of Xuanda, Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, Wei Jingyi, the governor of Datong, and Du Xunren, the supervisor of Xuanfu Town, etc., who accompany the seats, and exist as guests, but Omubu, who was previously named the king of Shunyi, does not live in the hall now.

Now the Anbei Protectorate is divided, and the military and political defense of Xuanfu Town is considered to be under the Protectorate, and then the rest of the parties are under the Xuanfu Governor, Xuanfu Supervising the Army, Xuanda Governor, etc., which is similar to the civil and military affairs of the original Daming Border Town.

It's just that Wang Dou's military politics is too powerful, and he has ripped off the civil affairs of all the officials.

But theoretically, the governor of Xuanfu and the supervising army did not belong to Wang Dou's subordinates.

The generals of the Jingbian Army and the members of the shogunate also sat according to their positions, and Li Banghua looked at these people very carefully.

They feel good overall, especially when paired with Jingbian clothing. However, after careful analysis, these people are actually not outstanding, and many of them are just mediocre materials, compared to the gathering of great sages in the imperial court, there is a difference of 108,000 miles, but why?

He read the newspapers, and now under Wang Dou's rule, it is divided into the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Supervision, and the Central Military Department directly under Wang Dou.

In several films, Han Chao and Wen Fangliang have a good impression, and Zhong Xiancai also looks quite quiet, wearing a three-mountain hat, stepping on felt wool boots, wearing a cloak and a draggy shirt, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, compared to Gao Shiyin's generation, it is pleasing to the eye.

The remainder ......

The military generation, don't mention it for the time being, but look at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Zhang Gui can accumulate grain in the field?

Zhong Rong's original identity was a small official, Zhong Zhengxian and Tian Changguo were all obscene, and Ye Xizhi was also a small official. Perhaps among Wang Doulu's subordinates, only the original Confucianism is the only one whose status is higher, but he is also not in the stream.

It's just that these people converge, and even the governor Zhu Zhi and Feng Zhu Gong can't fight them, what is the reason?

Also, these people are still in the Ming Dynasty, they are still collectors and officials, but now they are on an equal footing with themselves, how many products are they, and how many products are they?

Holding back his displeasure, Li Banghua slowly stood up.

Wang Dou looked at him interestingly.

Zhu Zhifeng and Wei Jingyu shook up, and Li Gong was about to make a move.

Everyone in the Jingbian army looked at each other to see what the old man was going to do.

But seeing that Li Banghua first gave a deep salute to Wang Dou, his upright face was full of upright expressions, and he said loudly: "Xiaguan has traveled all the way, but seeing that the people of Xuanzhen live and work in peace and contentment, there is no disaster of thieves and thieves, no suffering from hunger and cold, this is all the merit of Yongning Hou, and Xiaguan has thanked the people of Xuanzhen on behalf of him!" ”

Wang Dou smiled: "Deputy Li is polite!" ”

Gao Shiyin glanced at Zhong Xiancai beside him dumbfounded, what did this old man say just now?

sneered, but it was Wang Pu who was a guest.

I saw him holding a tea cup and said with a smile: "Ma doesn't know how long his face is, have you thanked the people of Xuanzhen on behalf of him?" Xuanzhen Wanmin, are you willing to let you replace? (To be continued.) )
