The door creaked open, and someone walked out, this person was weak, about sixty years old, his eyes were not very bright, and he didn't seem to have martial arts, and he laughed loudly: "I heard that General Boyan is going back to Beijing, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, please come in." ”

Liu Wenche, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is the highest-ranking official in the Ministry of War, but he does not have any experience in the army. Emperor Hongwu was worried about the strength of the army, so the highest commander of the military department was a civilian official, and he suppressed the military with literature in order to achieve balance. Although the military force is strong, the position of military attache has always been below the civilian official, if the military attache wants to be transferred to a civilian position, it must be demoted by half a grade, and the official position of the genuine product must be converted into a secondary product. For this reason, the warriors often mix in the military for the rest of their lives, and are unwilling to serve in the civilian system. It must be known that it is easy to accumulate military merits and become a full-time job, and as soon as you change jobs, you will become a deputy, wasting several years of hard work.

Boyan and Liu Wenche are also familiar with each other, and they walked into the door with him. Liu Wenche saw that Boyan was followed by a young man with a strong body, and asked, "This young general?"

Boyan introduced Wang Yangming's identity to him, Liu Wenche suddenly realized, stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yangming's hand, and said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be the famous Mr. Thirteen of Guozijian in Beijing, and he has admired him for a long time." ”

Wang Yangming didn't expect that the dignified military department Shangshu, an official of the third grade, actually knew his name, and he was quite flattered, and hurriedly saluted Liu Wenche. Liu Wenche smiled: "You're welcome. Dean San is my pillar of Daxia, and I have admired the dean's reputation for a long time. You are a student of the dean, so you are naturally my honored guest. You may be seated, you may be seated. ”

This Liu Wenche has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has already practiced the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense, where is it comparable to a hairy boy like Wang Yangming, which instantly made Wang Yangming feel like a spring breeze.

Liu Wenche ordered his subordinates to serve tea, took a few sips, and then asked, "Will the general go to the department to report on his work later?"

The staff department of the Ministry of War is in charge of the personnel of the Ministry of War, and when Boyan returns to Beijing to report on his work, he naturally has to go to the department to be questioned.

Boyan shook his head: "Don't hide it from Liu Shangshu, the Holy Lord ordered someone to send an urgent document of 800 miles to urge me to return to Beijing, and ask me about the battle between the Northwest Army and the Hu people and the Sixteen Nations Alliance." In this battle, our Han soldiers lost 8,000 military horses, and the saint was only afraid that he would have a grudge against me. I will take Captain Wang directly into the palace to face the saint, and I will ask Lord Shangshu to help, so I will be exempted. ”

"Face Sage?" Liu Wenche frowned, his heart was unpredictable, you Boyan was suspected of defeat, wouldn't it be boring to go straight to face the Sage?

Wang Yangming's heart was shocked, and he almost exclaimed, but fortunately, after this period of experience, his heart was a lot calmer, and he suppressed his surprise, and turned his head to look at Boyan, his eyes were full of dissuasion: This kind of thing is a child's play? And you didn't tell me in advance that you were going to face the saint, and I was not mentally prepared at all......

Boyan just gave him a reassuring look, signaling him not to worry.

Liu Wenche had already received a report on the war from the Ministry of War, and when he saw that Boyan insisted on confronting the saint immediately, he had to agree.

Boyan saw that the matter of going to the Ministry of War to report on his work had been resolved, so he got up and said goodbye, Liu Wenche said a few polite words, and sent the two out.

After going out and going to the palace, Wang Yangming hurriedly said: "Dashuai, how can you face such an important matter as the saint, and don't tell me in advance......

Boyan just smiled, he was called back to the capital by the emperor this time, it was impossible to say that there was no resentment in his heart, besides, in addition to the war, there were many other things involved, and thinking about the trickiness of these things made him a little annoyed.

Although he has excellent cultivation, but after all, his blood is immortal, and since you want me to come back, I will come back, and I will go directly to see you and explain everything to your face. Moreover, if Wang Yangming was framed, if he went through the normal procedures, it would take two or three months to solve it, but as long as the emperor gave an opinion, he could see it immediately. Wang Yangming is now a lieutenant of the Yingyang Military Academy, and there are still many things waiting for him to do in the army, and he must not delay in the pickled affairs of this Beijing trough.

As early as the gate of the outer palace, he was stopped by the imperial guards. The guards went in to report, the outer city reported to the inner city, the inner city reported to the imperial city, the imperial city reported to the eunuchs, the eunuchs reported to the emperor's close eunuchs, the close eunuchs reported to the emperor, and passed the emperor's message back layer by layer, and the two waited boredly at the palace gate for an hour before they got the password to allow them to enter.

The two of them couldn't get on the horse, so they had to trot all the way to the direction of the Chengtian Temple. There was already a little eunuch waiting at the door, and Wang Yangming recognized that the little eunuch was the little Li Gonggong sent by the emperor to deliver the decree when he first arrived in Chang'an. Xiao Li's father-in-law knew that Boyan was a general in the army, so he didn't dare to lose his courtesy at all, and respectfully took the two to the imperial study.

The emperor was approving the official document, and Wang Yangming saw the emperor's appearance for the first time, seeing that he was about fifty years old, with a thin face, but his physique was quite burly, and his two beards grew at the corners of his lips, which made him very heroic. It's just that I heard that the emperor had pockmarks when he was young, so there were some marks on his face, but this did not hinder this person's appearance at all, but added a little might. This is the supreme ruler of this country, the man of the hour on this continent, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty - Hongwu the Great.

The emperor randomly approved a few words on the letter, and said to himself: "This Du Shaoqing is becoming more and more unspeakable!" He threw the fold aside, looked up and saw Boyan, and said with a smile: "Boyan, you came very quickly." ”

Boyan knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Weichen Boyan, knock to see Tianyan." ”

Wang Yangming also knelt down, secretly dissatisfied in his heart, and said in his heart: Master, I am a good man after I was reborn, since I was a man again, I am grateful for the grace of the master to pass on the art, and I also worshiped the master Sanyisheng alone, General Boyan passed on my sword skills, I didn't bow down, I had no choice but to worship you, the emperor, this is a last resort, you don't want me to be sincere.

Where did the emperor know about Wang Yangming's little thoughts, and ordered the two to get up and talk back. Boyan stood respectfully aside, and Wang Yangming stood next to him, looking at his nose and nose and heart, without saying a word.

When the emperor saw Wang Yangming, he asked Boyan, "Who is this young man?"

Boyan reported truthfully, and the emperor sighed: "It turns out that you are Wang Yangming." When you first arrived in Chang'an a year ago, I summoned you to meet your master, but he was afraid that you would lose your honor in front of the palace and did not dare to let you come. Aren't you still here today? I think you're very good, you're not a person who doesn't know etiquette, your master is too careful. ”

Wang Yangming hurriedly replied: "The saint praises it." ”

The emperor picked up the piece of music that he had just thrown away: "I'm looking at a piece of music from the Ministry of Punishment, but coincidentally, it's about you." ”
