Chapter 403: Datong Mansion
When it was almost dark, I saw a majestic city, and on top of the wall, I could see many soldiers patrolling back and forth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the city gate had already been closed, and when Fang Hong and the others came here, the soldiers above the city immediately became alert, and dozens of crossbow arrows were erected and aimed at several people.
Now that war is about to break out between Tatar and Daming, Datong is the border within the border, how can anyone come here stupidly? As soon as these soldiers see them coming, of course they have to be vigilant.
"You are so bold, why don't you put down the crossbow arrows quickly? You are really blind, call Wang Xun out. Before Zhu Shou could speak, Zhang Yong shouted, he could keep his voice down in front of the emperor, but in the face of these Qiu Ba, he was not polite at all.
The soldiers on the city tower hesitated, Wang Xun is the chief soldier of Datong Mansion and their top boss, this person speaks so unpolitely, is it very promising?
"How many people would like to report their history?" One of the generals bowed his hand to Zhu Shou and the others, his voice was much more polite, and the soldiers behind him also put down the crossbow arrows. These people speak so impulsively, I'm afraid that they will be some kind of characters that they can't be provoked. These military attaches are used to being cautious on weekdays, and they don't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Let Wang Xun come out quickly!" Zhang Yong didn't want to talk to this general, what qualifications did a military attache of the seventh rank be worthy of wasting their saliva? That always saw that they were not easy to provoke, and immediately waved his hand, a soldier got down from the city tower and went to the Zhengxi General's Mansion.
The General Mansion of the West is actually the General Soldier's Mansion, but the General Soldier of the Ming Dynasty is a fictitious title and has no actual rank. Just like the general soldier of Datong Mansion, his actual official name should be the former general of Zhengxi.
Wang Xun is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a black beard that reaches to his chest, and his figure is not tall, but he walks quite steadily. He was worried in the house these days, the emperor came to Datong, he told the elders about it, and the elders told him to take a good look at the emperor, who knew that in a blink of an eye, the emperor ran away without a shadow. He didn't dare to send people to find it, if some ill-intentioned people knew that it threatened the emperor's life, then the sin would be great?
"What? There is a group of people coming down from the city? And there is a person who speaks sharply, like a eunuch?" Wang Xun heard the report of his subordinates, and immediately clapped his palms, those who can use eunuchs, except for the vassal kings in various places, are the emperors, and the vassal kings cannot leave the fiefdom without authorization, and these eight or nine are not far from ten, the emperor has returned.
"Let's go, hurry up and prepare the car...... No, let's prepare a horse, quick. Wang Xun was going to take a sedan chair, but when he thought that he was going to greet the emperor, where did he dare to take a shelf, so he quickly asked someone to change a horse.
The horses were quickly ready, and he climbed up awkwardly, and although he served as the chief soldier, he was actually a civilian official, and only held a military position. This is also a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, many times there is no absolute boundary between civil and military officials, except for those hereditary military attachés, most of the military attaches are transferred from civilian officials. An official who holds a civilian position is a civilian official, and a military officer who holds a military post is a military attaché, but a military attache who is transferred from a civilian official can have a much higher status than a hereditary military attaché.
When Wang Xun arrived at the city gate, the bones on his body were almost not scattered, but he didn't care about this, so he quickly ordered someone to open the city gate.
As for whether to climb up to the city first to verify his body, this is completely unnecessary, not to mention that he is eighty percent sure that the outside is the emperor, even if it is not, it must be a powerful person.
Several soldiers pulled the winch hard, and slowly opened the city gate, and there was a column of soldiers standing around, each holding torches in their hands, reflecting the city gate red.
Wang Xun tidied up his appearance, stood at the door respectfully, and when the city gate was completely opened, he raised his head slightly, and saw the first person, with a fair face and a thin body, and it was really the emperor.
"I've seen Zhenguo Gong!" As soon as Wang Xun saw Zhu Shou, he immediately knelt on the ground and made a big salute, and at the same time, his heart also breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor finally came back.
As for why he called him the prince of Zhenguo instead of the emperor, it would be fucked up to say it, just half a month ago, he received a letter from the capital, instructing him to train his troops well, and the payment was "Governor of the Governor and Mighty General of Military Affairs." ”
After the emperor came to Datong in person, he knew that what kind of mighty general he was purely an official appointed by the emperor himself, and he was not recognized by the imperial court at all.
Then the emperor also had a title, that is, the Duke of Zhenguo, whose name was Zhu Shou, and he also set a salary for himself, so that he could go to the military department to receive money and food.
The emperor didn't like people to call him emperor outside, and only allowed others to call him Zhenguo Gong, but there was no way, Wang Xun had to call him like this.
When Wang Xun called him like this, his subordinates didn't understand it, Guogong? Isn't there only four Guogong in the Ming Dynasty, two are in the capital, one is in Jinling, and the other is in Yunnan, why is there another Zhenguo Gong here? Besides, even if Guogong comes, you don't have to make such a big salute, you just kowtow and bow down.
"Okay, okay, excuse me, a few heroes, I'm afraid you don't have a place to live at night, just come with me. Zhu Shou didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Xun at all, waved his hand casually, and then said to Fang Hong and the others with a smile on his face.
He, the emperor, likes some strange things the most, when he was in the leopard room, he often communicated with foreign scholars from Huihui, Tatar, Tibet, and North Korea, and called himself "Daqing Dharma King", those people he met before, although there were also some fun means, but where could they compare to these two real strange people?
"In that case, we might as well be respectful. Yang Jingye was about to refuse, but Fang Hong opened his mouth to answer, seeing that Fang Hong agreed, Yang Jingye didn't want to say anything, but there was a trace of vigilance in his eyes.
He is not a fool, and it can be seen from all aspects that this Zhu Shou's identity is not as simple as it is revealed. Da Ming is only four national princes, this is a well-known thing, and the name of Zhen Guogong must be fake. Moreover, he used eunuchs, and the princes were not qualified to use eunuchs, only the vassal kings and emperors were eligible. And the vassal king can't leave the fiefdom, so in this way, his identity is not difficult to guess.
It's just that Yang Jingye can't believe it, if this person is the emperor, it is too unreliable, how can there be such an emperor?
No matter what Yang Jingye thought, he couldn't figure it out.
Thank you for the reward from Sister Fan'er, who was stunned, and touched it big
