Chapter 44: Armed Eunuchs
、、、、、、、
Nanhaizi is also known as Nanyuan, because there is the old road of Yongding River in the garden, forming a large lake and swamp, the grass and trees are luxuriant, birds and beasts, elk gather, it is an animal paradise at the foot of the Son of Heaven. After Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he drove out all the residents living in Haizi, expanded the palace and palace, built a wall around it for 120 miles, called "Nanhaizi", and expanded the hunting grounds in the pseudo-Yuan period dozens of times. Four doors were opened around the city, and a government office was built, with one chief governor and four commanders responsible for management. In the Longqing period, the eunuch was sent by the celebrant to supervise Nanhaizi to manage Haihu and Mahu, and no longer set up a separate governor's yamen.
Shi Yuanya, the current governor and eunuch of Nanhaizi, is a native of Xiongxian County, Baoding Prefecture, Beizhili. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, he was elected to the palace and served as a writer in the Staff Bureau. He was good at riding and shooting, and liked to hunt, but he did not like to read. At the end of the first year of Taichang, he was invited by Wei Zhongxian to be promoted to the secretary of the ceremonial supervisor's office, and was promoted to his current position in the third year of the Apocalypse.
Wei Zhongxian trusted Shi Yuanya very much, every time he saw him, he always had to hold his back and give him a long time to teach him face-to-face, and outsiders even such as Wang Tiqian and Li Yongzhen did not know what Wei said to Shi, which shows how close the relationship between Shi Yuanya and Wei is. Of course, Yuan Dahai didn't know these things, and the person who told him was Ji Yong.
Ji Yong is really useful, although he is just Shang Baojian's eunuch, but he knows everything about the personnel of the inner court, but Yuan Dahai can only look up.
After starting from Dongchang, Yuan Dahai deliberately approached him, not wanting that Gonggong Ji was also a good talker, so he went out of Yongdingmen, Yuan Sifang and Gonggong Ji seemed to have not seen the old man for many years, and they talked very happily. The more he talked, the more Yuan Dahai believed that the Ji Yong in front of him was the eunuch who was in Ningyuan two years later, and Ji Yong also appreciated more and more this upstart from Dongchang, who was about to unify the Black Flag Arrow Team.
"Gonggong Shi is a good martial artist, when he was in the palace in the past, he was the chief guard of internal discipline, and he often competed with those Han generals, and he could win every time. Oh, yes, Shi Gonggong's archery skills are especially powerful, a hundred steps through Yang is not a problem, you have to use some thought in this regard, if Shi Gonggong also appreciates you, it will be of great help to your future future. ”
"Thank you father-in-law for the reminder!"
Yuan Dahai hurriedly thanked him, Ji Yong was really good, not only told himself some hidden things in the inner court, but also reminded him what to do after seeing Shi Yuanya, and he couldn't help but feel good. Seeing Ji galloping forward with a horse, he hurriedly whipped his whip and followed closely. Qian En and the others had been hanging them for half a mile, and when they saw that the horses in front of them were galloping, they also shouted one by one and followed behind.
Ji Yong's riding skills are very good, he runs fast in front, but his body never shakes, and his horse control skills make Yuan Dahai, who was born as a border soldier, also impressed. Guo Kegang, Zhang Dexi, and Li Qing were a little ashamed, they didn't expect that a eunuch's equestrian skills were better than their own normal people. Seeing that Ji Yong and Yuan Dahai were running faster and faster, and if they didn't catch up, they would fall far away, so they were busy slapping their mounts desperately. All of a sudden, the official road leading to Nanhaizi resounded with the sound of "driving, driving". When the pedestrians on the road saw it, they all stepped aside early, so as not to be hit by these "daredevils" who didn't know which yamen.
…
Li Chaoqin's martial arts are exquisite, Shi Yuanya's archery skills are superb, and coupled with this first-class equestrian discipline, Yuan Dahai can't help but ask: How many people are still hiding dragons and crouching tigers in the inner court! Is it possible to make a few romantic characters, and it is not possible to look at Ouchi?
Ji Yongke didn't care what Yuan Dahai was thinking, he just urged there: "Yuan Sifang, you have to hurry up, this place is still more than ten miles away from Nanhaizi, if you don't hurry up, you have to enter the city in the dark." ”
Listening to Ji Yong's shout, Yuan Dahai had a certain thought, and hurriedly rushed to the front. This place is far away from the suburbs of Beijing, the market town is becoming less and less, and passers-by are rarely able to see the previous one, and there is a dense forest a few miles ahead, and from time to time you can see flocks of birds flying into the air from the forest.
After catching up with Ji Yong, Yuan Dahai ran forward with him left and right, and after walking for a while, Ji Yong suddenly slowed down the horse's speed, Yuan Dahai also slowed down, looked ahead, and did not see the wall of Nanhaizi, and couldn't help but ask Ji Yong with a puzzled face: "Father-in-law, why did you slow down?" ”
Ji Yong pointed to the front with a horsewhip and said with a smile: "This place is already within the scope of Nanhaizi, Gonggong Shi has always disliked outsiders galloping horses in his territory, if his gang of military supervisors see it, most of them will shoot us to death as beasts!" ”
Have you already arrived in Nanhaizi? Yuan Dahai glanced around, surrounded by woods, and didn't see lakes and aquatic plants or anything, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, but Ji Yong said that he had arrived. I didn't dare to ask more questions at the moment, and I thought about what Ji Yong said about the martial eunuch. After walking for half a mile, he suddenly remembered something, thought about it, or asked a good question, so he opened his mouth and said to Ji Yong: "Father-in-law, there is still something unknown to my subordinates, I don't know if I should ask?" ”
Ji Yong turned his head and glanced at Yuan Dahai, "hehe" smiled: "You just ask, since Gonggong Liu and they ordered you, our family naturally knows everything, and there is no end to it." ”
"Now that the Black Flag Arrow Team has been abolished, it stands to reason that they have committed the great crime of rebellion, and they should keep their duty when they were sent to Nanhaizi by Yingzong, and they should be at ease for the royal horse herding, why do I have to take care of the descendants of the Arrow Team in private, and also preserve the combat power of the Arrow Team, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be suspicious if the matter spreads?"
Hearing this question, Ji Yong let out a "hmm", and while looking ahead, he said casually: "In your opinion, who is stronger than Jinyiwei and Jinyiwei?" ”
Who is stronger, Dongchang or Jinyiwei?
Yuan Dahai didn't know why Ji Yong asked this question, hesitated, and said: "Most of my Dongchang fans are from Jinyiwei, except for a few big stalls, most of the affairs are in charge of thousands of households and hundreds of households, but Jinyiwei doesn't need to pay attention to half of my Dongchang, so his subordinates think that if it is really compared, it should be Jinyiwei." ”
After Ji Yong heard this, he said with a side face: "If the East Factory has the Black Flag Arrow Team, can Jinyi Wei be stronger than the East Factory?" ”
"With the power of the Black Flag Arrow Team, it should be the strongest in the East Factory!" Yuan Dahai blurted out, Dongchang really wants to have a Black Flag Arrow Team, how can Jinyiwei compare!
"Isn't this it, just ask me who doesn't want to overpower Jinyiwei in the past factory governors of the East Factory? Although the Arrows team has been abolished, as long as there are people, there will always be a chance to build it again in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Yong smiled slightly, glanced at Yuan Dahai, and said meaningfully: "It's just that the previous factory directors were not as bold as nine thousand years old, and they rebuilt this Black Flag Arrow Team without the emperor's consent, but this matter is not a big deal, and in the current situation, nine thousand years old is also a last resort..."
Hearing this, Yuan Dahai was stunned, why did Ji Yong say that?
Ji Yong didn't care about Yuan Dahai's surprised gaze, and said to himself: "There are some things that our family can say, but you can't say; We can't say it, but you can. Whether you can say it or not depends on what the person's heart thinks. Yuan Sifang, you do a good job, our family has always been very accurate in looking at people, I can't say that it won't be long before our family can't ride side by side with you like this, hehe..."
As soon as he heard this, Yuan Dahai hurriedly said: "My father-in-law's words are to kill my subordinates, and my subordinates will never dare to be big in front of my father-in-law..."
Yuan Dahai was about to say that he would have to ask Ji Yong to say a lot of kind words in front of the fathers-in-law in the inner court, but he saw a cloud of dust rising on the official road a few miles ahead, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves startled the birds and beasts in the surrounding forests, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and rushed to Ji Yong's front, wanting to draw the knife, but Ji Yong shouted: "Don't pull out the knife, it's the military supervisor under Shi Gonggong!" ”
"Martial Supervisor?"
Qian En and the others, who were eager to arrive, strangled the saddle with a "hoo" and looked ahead with a puzzled expression.
The sound of hooves is getting closer and closer, and it is getting more and more urgent, looking from a distance, there are dozens of knights who come, and the speed of the horses is not reduced at all, and they rush straight to this side by side, and when they rush to a mile away, Yuan Dahai can see the outfit of the knights clearly, only to see that they are all bright armor, but not the Ming cavalry.
