Chapter 537: It's hard to do work

After Hou Sui re-entered the court, he was quite proud in the officialdom. In May of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Hou Sui was promoted to the head of the household. But just a month after his inauguration, the first assistant Zhou Yanru was squeezed out by Wen Tiren and left the official.

However, although Wen Tiren replaced him as the first assistant, he still did not dare to show that it was more difficult to be with Donglin and Fushe. Because of Hou Sui's prominent position in the Donglin Party, and because he discovered two generals who were in danger - Wu Shigong and Zuo Liangyu, Hou Sui also had to settle for his position. Even Hou Sui was seriously injured in an explosion while inspecting the gunpowder magazine, and the imperial court kept his position, allowing him to recuperate in the capital with peace of mind.

During this period, Hou Fangyu had already won the show and married his relatives. And when he was sixteen years old, he went to Beijing to serve his father. Wu Shigong also knew all these things, but he just sent someone to give a generous gift because he went out to fight.

But what did Hou Fangyu do when he returned to his hometown to participate in this commercial gilded group this time? If you want to make a profit in business, with the relationship between the Hou Mansion and Wu Shigong, the old lady Hou only needs to send a letter to Wu Shigong. And Hou Fangyu is going to make meritorious contributions to the scientific field, so why is it necessary for him to go to Runing to plate some military merits? So Wu Shigong was puzzled.

Seeing Wu Shigong looking at him, Zhao Ming spread his hands and shrugged. His attitude was very clear: Then Hou Fangyu wanted to come to Runing, and he couldn't stop it?

Wu Shigong didn't know that the Hou Mansion's cultivation of Hou Fangyu had actually started a long time ago.

In the second year of Hou Fangyu's arrival in the capital, he drafted the Tuntian recital on behalf of his father, scoring the ten items of Guantun, Juntun, Bingtun, Mintun, Shangtun, Belly, Biantun, Reclamation, Examination, and Trust.

Although Hou Fangyu's recital must have been completed under the guidance of Hou Sui, and borrowed many of Wu Shigong's methods from Tuntian. And because of the complex and changeable situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, many of the statements in the recital inevitably had some talk on paper. But after all, Hou Fangyu was a seventeen-year-old boy. It is also a great thing to be able to draft such a large text.

And this time, after Hou Fangyu returned to his hometown, he went to the Runing Army, that is, the Hou Mansion wanted to familiarize Hou Fangyu with military affairs, befriend generals such as Wu Shigong and Zuo Liangyu, and regain Hou Fangyu's reputation in the imperial court.

Then the Hou Mansion will arrange for Hou Fangyu to go to Jinling and his party, and once again start his reputation as a talented man among the scholars in the world.

It can be seen from this that the Hou Mansion cultivated Hou Fangyu as a future political leader. Of course, what we know now is the poignant and euphemistic aiqing story of Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun in Jinling in "Peach Blossom Fan".

In the original history. Hou Fangyu did not return to his hometown until the eleventh year of Chongzhen to prepare for the township examination and went to Jinling. Because now with Wu Shigong's variable, he returned to his hometown ahead of schedule, and history has quietly changed here.

Because he wanted to find out, Wu Shigong at this time called Zhao Ming to the back hall alone. And left the other children of the gentry in the front hall. But as soon as he heard that Hou Fangyu was coming, he immediately ordered: "Someone! Invite the young boy in! ”

But before anyone agreed. Wu Shigong stood up. said: "It's better for me to welcome the young boy in person!" ”

When Wu Shigong and Zhao Ming came to the front hall, they heard a handsome young man with sword eyebrows impassioned: "The country's troubles are the time for our generation to rise up; A journey of a thousand miles, it's time for me to wait for a little bit to start. Today, we have this opportunity to exterminate the thieves, and it is our luck to wait for the world to be peaceful. It is also the ambition of our generation to inherit Lingyan and Yuntai. ……。 ”

That young man was, of course, Hou Fangyu. It can be seen that he is very agitated and eloquent, which makes a group of hot-blooded young people listen to it with enthusiasm and excitement.

What a noble bunch. A group of pure people, a group of moral people, a group of people who are free from low tastes, a group of people who are beneficial to the people!

Wu Shigong couldn't help but be excited, and he applauded his palms loudly excitedly, thinking, "Little ancestors! Don't mess around, okay? ”

Seeing Wu Shigong advancing with a smile and applause, Hou Fangyu immediately stopped his speech and saluted Wu Shigong: "Brother Shi! I can't wait! is going to carry Qingfeng and kill all the thieves. ”

At this point, those treacherous and cunning officials and gentry of the Guide Mansion also deviated. They were originally going to let their children be gilded, but those are hot-blooded young people! Having the opportunity to go to the battlefield to establish meritorious deeds is also a matter of romantic heroism, so they are in a hurry to go to the battlefield.

Wu Shigong was in a hurry, and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "It is at this time that the husband's name will go down in history. You are all the sun in the morning, and the future is all yours! "Who wouldn't shout slogans anyway? Let's fool this group of hot greens first.

Wu Shigong's slogan immediately won a deafening cheer. Reqing is so deceiving! Striking while the iron was hot, Wu Shigong continued: "But the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first!" Commander Zhao is also a veteran of the battlefield and has rich experience, you can go to our Runing Army to get what you need, and when you are fully prepared, you can set out to exterminate the Shaanxi bandits. ”

Wu Shigong was a big foot and lifted the ball to Zhao Ming. Anyway, after that, I'll leave the matter of fooling those hot green to Zhao Ming!

But how could Zhao Ming not understand Wu Shigong's intentions? He immediately said with a smile: "Vice General Wu is also a rising star. When he leads the army to fight with you, you will surely see his galloping style! ”

Zhao Ming's intention is also very clear, anyway, he tied Wu Shigong into a grasshopper on a rope, so that no one could escape.

Wu Shigong avoided everyone's eyes and rolled his eyes at Zhao Ming. Then he turned around and returned to his normal expression, and said to Hou Fangyu and them: "I am glad to see all the talents today, and I am also very happy to be in the future, and I will wash the dust for everyone in the evening." I hope that everyone will be restrained, write more wonderful sentences, and when the stereotypical publication is published, it will also be a good story. ”

Those hot youths immediately applauded, this was their favorite pastime. So Wu Shigong immediately asked the housekeeper Liu Yuan to arrange a wine banquet and courtesans, and invited Deng Qifan to accompany him and entertain this group of hot young people in the evening.

When Wu Shigong left, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This young man's work is not easy to do!" ”

Wu Shigong didn't want to participate in the literati's banquet at night because his literary talent was very inferior. But because of the sincere invitation of those hot youths, and the fact that he always had to give Hou Fangyu face, Wu Shigong also participated in the meeting.

The banquet was quite successful and the scene was quite enthusiastic. Those Reqing, who were tightly controlled by their elders at home, were finally able to be entertained by fine wine and beauties in Runing, and they immediately became profligate.

Under the enthusiasm of the young people, Wu Shigong also improvised two poems, which also received a lot of applause. It's not that those hot greens are patting on the back, in their opinion, it is already good that Wu Shigong, a military attachΓ©, can make such a rhyming limerick.

When the banquet was over, Wu Shigong happily returned to the inner house, but was surprised to find that none of his wives had slept. They were discussing something together, and from time to time they let out a burst of laughter like silver bells.

Wu Shigong was curious, and he secretly hid at the door and eavesdropped.

"I didn't expect our husband to write poetry?" Zhao Ruya's words caused another burst of coquettish laughter.

I didn't expect that the deeds of writing poems would spread to the inner house so quickly? Wu Shigong suddenly felt a little fluttery. He no longer hid, pushed the door in, and said with a smug face: "How is it?" Is your husband's poem well written? ”

"It's good!" Qiongniang whispered, "At least the words in the poem are enough." ”

Although Qiongniang's voice was small, it was enough for all the people in the room to hear clearly, so her words caused a burst of coquettish laughter. Wu Shigong was suddenly annoyed and angry, he didn't expect that the more considerate Qiongniang would laugh at him, so he immediately made a hungry tiger pounce and wanted to catch Qiongniang over and ravage it well. scared Qiongniang so much that she hid behind Mei Yun and couldn't stop laughing.

"Actually, the young master's poems are still well written!" Xiuzhu said with a serious face.

Wu Shigong suddenly burst into tears, but he still cares about himself with his own little padded jacket! Although Wu Shigong knew that his two poems were not very good, he still hoped that others would praise a few words of the poems that he finally held back.

Wu Shigong immediately wanted to give Xiuzhu a warm hug, but he didn't expect Xiuzhu to continue: "It's much better than the poems made by the young master when he was studying." ”

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then laughter erupted, and the ladies rubbed their bellies and laughed to tears.

Wu Shigong was immediately angry, this time he wouldn't let Xiuzhu escape again, so he grabbed her into his arms. It doesn't look like it's going to work, and the ladies are going to climb on top of themselves.

So Wu Shigong said viciously to Xiuzhu: "Then the young master will make two poems on you tonight!" ”

Xiuzhu's face immediately pretended to be frightened, and she said to Wu Shigong in a trembling voice: "Then come!" After finishing speaking, Xiuzhu couldn't hold back any longer, and "giggled" and laughed non-stop.

When he went to the embroidery bamboo house, Wu Shigong sighed again: "This woman's work is not easy to do!" ”

In November, Gao Yingxiang, Ma Shouying and other peasant armies who had retreated to the Henan border hovered there, constantly looking for opportunities to re-enter Henan. And Zuo Liangyu and other Ming troops were also on standby, in case the peasant army found a gap.

After three fiascos, Zhang Xianzhong's troops went all the way south and entered Nanyang Mansion. Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong might re-enter Huguang through Nanyang, Lu Xiangsheng also led the Tianxiong army to rush to Huguang.

After entering Nanyang, Zhang Xianzhong first sent a partial division to Nanyang Mansion City to make a false shot, making the appearance of attacking Nanyang Mansion City, and scared the Nanyang Prefect and Sun Wei Sun Counselor who guarded Nanyang Mansion City half to death, and the letter for help was sent everywhere in a fiefdom.

But in the city of Nanyang Mansion, there was one person who was very happy, and that was Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang at that time. That Tang King Zhu Yujian is simply a strange among the vassal kings, he is not like other vassal kings at all, waiting for death, seeing the peasant army raging in the world, he actually wants to lead the troops to revive the majesty of the ancestors. And this war started from Tang King Zhu Yujian! (To be continued......)
