Chapter VII: Yang Tinghe's Concerns

Zhengde said: "How long does it take for you to train as a soldier?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Three months." ”

Enlistment in the army for three months recruit training. It should be possible, Zhu Houhuang thought secretly.

Zhengde said: "Okay, you go and prepare." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Yes." ”

Jiang Bin sent Zhu Houhuang out of the big hall, and immediately found a military attache and a eunuch and asked them to follow Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang slandered Jiang Bin in his heart, and he refused to leave Zhengde for a moment. But he didn't care, and rode a horse with the military attaché and eunuch and Zhu Houhuang's own servants, and headed for the imperial village outside the city.

Zhu Houhuang didn't observe, a person in a green gauze sedan chair outside the leopard room slightly lifted the curtain and looked outside, it was Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe saw Zhu Houhuang galloping away, knocked lightly on the sedan chair and said, "Yang San,"

Yang San, the servant next to the sedan chair, bowed his head and said, "Who is the group that just rode over?" ”

Yang San is Yang Tinghe's trusted servant, the so-called prime minister's concierge seven-grade official, Yang San follows Yang Tinghe, and is very well-informed. Yang Tinghe sometimes asks Yang San when he has questions, even though Yang San can't answer for a while, as long as Yang San is given time, he will make things clear.

Yang San said: "Master, it is the prince of King Yong. ”

Yang Tinghe said to himself: "The prince of Yongwang? He lowered the curtain and said, "Get up." ”

The green gauze sedan chair swayed back to the Yang Mansion, the Yang Mansion was not big, but it was a three-entry courtyard, Yang Tinghe came to the study, took out a letter from the dark compartment, opened it and put it on the table, but did not look at it.

I've already read this epistle once. If Zhu Houhuang saw this letter, he would be surprised, because this letter recorded the words of Zhu Houhuang and Zhengde on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Yang Tinghe closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "Yang San." ”

Yang Sanyi, who was waiting outside the door, picked up the curtain and came in, his upper body bowed forward slightly, and said, "Master, you called me?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Go, call the young master over." ”

A young man who looked to be in his twenties walked over, came in and saluted, saying, "I've seen my father." I wonder what the father commanded the child to come? ”

This is Yang Tinghe's sister-in-law, Yang Shen. Yang Shen and Yang Tinghe were both famous prodigies in the Ming Dynasty, their fathers were prodigies, and their sons were also prodigies. Don't look at Yang Shen is only in his twenties, he is already the champion and the first.

Yang Tinghe pointed to the letter on the table and said, "Look at it." ”

Yang Shen picked up the letter, glanced at ten lines, and after reading it, put it on the desk.

Yang Tinghe asked, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

Yang Shen hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, are you worried about the prince's affairs?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Exactly. He paused lightly, and his face leaked a hint of nostalgia, "The first emperor thought I was the prince to read, but unfortunately I didn't teach the prince well." To make it look like this, under Jiuquan, it is difficult to face the first emperor. However, although I am greedy for fun, I am still in awe of the right path, I wrote some time ago, saying that the storage position is vacant, and it is not the blessing of the community, please ask Your Majesty to enter the palace. Today, when the prince of King Yong entered the leopard room, didn't he adopt my advice. It's just that the character of this Yongwang prince ---," he sighed.

Yang Shen said: "But does the prince of Yongwang have any notoriety? ”

Yang Tinghe shook his head and said, "No. He closed his eyes and said: "I remember that when the prince of Yongwang first went to Beijing, a passage with the name of a prodigy, three hundred thousand, and other enlightened words, recited very quickly, quite a talent for sophistry, and the teacher was speechless. Later, Queen Wu was afraid that he would be exposed and feared by the royal family. Don't let the prince of Yongwang learn the scriptures, and later heard that the prince of Yongwang learned arithmetic, and then he was out of the crowd. But today I met with the prince of Yongwang. ”

Yang Shen asked, "How?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "The young man is full of spirit and spirit, just a bit like when His Majesty was a child. ”

There is an unfinished meaning in the words. If the Ming Dynasty has another emperor like Zhengde, Yang Tinghe really doesn't know how to face the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty under Jiuquan.

Yang Shen heard the sound of the strings and knew Yale, and said: "Father, do you want me to explore the confidence of the prince of Yongwang?" ”

"That's good," Yang Tinghe said: "King Yong's long history, since he came from Hengyang, it has been hanging empty, you go and take a look, for me to see what kind of person this King Yongwang is and Queen Wu." ”

Yang Shen said: "Yes." ”

Yang Tinghe's meaning, Yang Shen knows, to see if the prince of Yongwang is worthy of being a king, of course, it is just to see. If Zhengde has a son, Yang Tinghe will naturally abandon the son of King Yong without hesitation, but if Zhengde has no son, then maybe Yang Shen will renew the good story between Yang Tinghe and Zhengde.

Zhu Houhuang didn't know Yang Tinghe and was thinking about himself.

He has now arrived in the Imperial Village.

Looking at the densely packed peasants, he was deeply shocked.

What he saw, people who looked like the walking dead. Patches on everyone's bodies, many wearing straw sandals, and some without shoes. Every child's head is big, not because their head is very big, but because they are very thin.

The old man and the child are scrawny. Even if there are some strong men, they are extremely cowardly and honest people who don't look around.

There are very few earthen houses, most of them are thatched houses, and Zhu Houhuang doesn't need to look at them to know that these houses will definitely leak rain. The land is never a whole patch, with irrigation canals spreading out in it, as far as the eye can see, but one in the east and one in the west, with undulating hills and crazy weeds everywhere. And in the wilderness, there are hidden fields. On the field, there is no water conservancy, except for a few paddy fields along the river, which are the treasures of the entire Huangzhuang.

Is this Huangzhuang?

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but ask himself. 、

If before, Zhu Houhuang's idea of wanting to do something was just starting from personal opportunities and wanting to make a difference in history, but at this moment he felt a deep sense of mission.

It was not for nothing that God brought him into this world.

"Your Royal Highness, all the strong men in the imperial village are here." The steward of the Huangzhuang bowed his head and bowed his waist, as if he were a pug. Zhu Houhuang felt extremely disgusted at the first glance at him.

In fact, this steward is not ugly, he is chubby. The general's belly bulged, and his figure was a little out of shape. Such a figure is already considered a good figure now. But between this group of scrawny people.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't see it anyway.

Zhu Houhuang didn't pay attention to him at all. said: "Wang Qianhu, you go and let them lift the stone locks one by one and select the best three hundred people." ”

Wang Qianhu pursed his lips secretly, and said secretly in his heart: "What kind of big-tailed wolf is this?" Among this group of beggars, what kind of good soldiers can be picked out, it is better to choose from the Beijing camp, although the Beijing camp has not been the same in recent years, but at least it is better than these beggars. ”

But what Wang Qianhu thought didn't reveal at all. He immediately arranged for people to bring in stone locks and let these young men come forward to give it a try. But he said for a long time, and no one enthusiastically signed up.

Zhu Houhuang stood up and said: "Today I will recruit soldiers, and whoever is selected will not have to pay rent at home from now on." ”

When this sentence was spoken, the people below seemed to have fried the pot.

The white and chubby steward immediately became anxious, stepped forward and said, "Shizi, you can't be like this, it's just three hundred mud legs." If you want to pull it away, you can pull it away, can't you be rent-free? ”

Zhu Houhuang turned his head, his eyes were round, and he shouted: "I do things, do I still need you to teach?" ”

A person behind Zhu Houhuang jumped out and kicked on the steward, who fell heavily on the ground like a leather ball. I covered my stomach and wailed for a while.

"Shut up. Otherwise, I will kill you if you run against the world. ”

The steward immediately stopped wailing, but his stomach ached terribly. I couldn't get up for a while.

The person behind Zhu Houhuang is called Wu Ming.

This name was obtained by Zhu Houhuang, who is a martial arts master. Zhu Houhuang's uncle Wu Fengyi collected it, Zhu Houhuang's martial arts master.

Although Wu Fengyi did not elaborate, based on Zhu Houhuang's understanding of Wu Ming, this person should have suffered a lawsuit and avoided trouble in the palace.
