Chapter Ninety-Eight: The unity of knowledge and action is good
When Yun Chu walked into the exhortation field of the Ministry of Rites with his baggage, he found that it was very deserted.
Deserted does not mean that there are few people, but that it is very quiet.
The admonition ground is a very secluded place, and the feeling of seclusion is caused by the hundreds of huge locust trees here.
There are dozens of thatched huts dotted under the big trees, and the cost of these thatched huts is not low when you look at the color of the thatch.
Yun Chu entered the exhortation ground, no one paid attention to him, looking at the rest of the people sitting alone in the thatched hut, Yun Chu came to the best position and the newest thatched hut, pinched the neck of the person in the house, and threw him out.
As for who the people inside were, Yun Chu didn't care, he only knew that whether it was in the Guozi Prison or in the prison, the bullies were always the most comfortable group of people they had ever lived.
Since they have all entered the exhortation field, it means that they have made mistakes, and they were sent here by the emperor to introspect.
What was thrown out by Yun Chu was a middle-aged man in his forties, obviously a very knowledgeable official oil, who was thrown out by Yun Chu, and he was not angry, he turned over and sat up to dust off his body, and arched his hand towards Yun Chu and said: "This benevolent brother, you have great strength, you live in this house very well, can you throw out the luggage below?" ”
They were all from the province, and naturally there was not much luggage in the house, so Yun Chu threw his luggage out of the window.
Seeing this guy silently pick up the luggage on the ground and go to find a new place to live, Yun Chu felt a little regretful.
The emperor threw him into the exhortation field for only one purpose, that is, to suppress it, because, soon, there will be a very important appointment, and Yun Chu feels that it has something to do with the soldiers and horses commanded during the Fengchan Taishan period.
As for Li Si's matter, it was basically nothing to the emperor, and punishing Yun Chu was just a pretext.
Yun Chu believed that it wouldn't be long before Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui would also be sent here because of the wrong foot in the hall one day.
Compared with such a major event as commanding soldiers and horses, Li Si's manipulation of poison is not on the table.
Luoyang City is already a good season for the autumn wind, the light leaves on the locust tree fall like butterflies, and in a moment, the ground is covered with yellow leaves.
The rest of the people in the exhortation field did not have the intention of watching the excitement, most of them were reading, and some of them were strolling among the yellow leaves as if they were thinking deeply.
The Tang Dynasty is noble, and the back of the reader has always been very straight, like the standing green pine, and there are very few people who bend over and hunchback, so whether it is drawn into a reading map or a line drawing, the picture is very good-looking.
Yun Chu used a horizontal knife to cut down a rare red pine in the woods, mainly because there were many dried pine towers on this red pine, but he wanted to drink tea, but there was no fuel.
The sound of the red pine falling to the ground was loud, causing the people in the admonition field to stretch their necks to look.
Yun Chu didn't look at them, but instead looked at a few squirrels fleeing in panic.
After getting dozens of dry big pine towers, Yun Chu didn't care about the poor red pine.
After Yun Chu took out a simple folding stove and a set of tea sets from his baggage, those who had long been eyeing the red pine unceremoniously divided the red pine, the pine wood was still wet, but it didn't matter, it could be used after two days of drying after crackling.
After the clouds lit a dry pine tower, the first fireworks of the exhortation field were raised.
The steward of the admonition field came to Yun Chu, who was drinking tea, with a serious face, and said, "Fireworks are strictly prohibited here. ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Think of another way, this excuse is what you just came up with." ”
The steward said: "Zi said, shooting seems to be a gentleman, but if he loses his righteousness, he seeks his body." ”
Yun Chu frowned and looked at the little official in front of him who was full of mouths and said, "What do you mean, explain." ”
The steward was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would be able to meet a person who couldn't understand "The Mean" in the persuasion field of high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty.
Then he said: "It means that if you can't shoot the target, you can't look for the target's mistakes, but you have to find the reason from yourself." ”
Yun Chu nodded, indicating that he was taught, and then asked, "What is your first entrance to the Jinshi Subject?" ”
The steward said with a stunned face: "I didn't have a chance to choose Guizhi." ”
Yun Chu said: "Lao Tzu Jinshi ninth, do you think you have the face to teach me in front of me?" ”
The steward's face suddenly turned red, and he said loudly: "Zi said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher." ”
Yun Chu saw that his tea was boiling again, so he kicked the steward away and sat down quietly to drink tea again.
The people who came to the exhortation ground were all quiet, and there had never been anyone as noisy as Yun Chu.
It was indeed a place to think, a place where the emperor felt that his courtiers needed to think.
People who can think here don't stay long, three or five days fast, ten days and a half months long.
Why does the emperor need these people to think quietly, mainly because these people need to think clearly, who to serve, how to serve, only those who think clearly and pass the emperor's assessment will be reused.
Therefore, no matter how Yun Chu does whatever he wants here, the stewards here and those who pretend to think will show the greatest restraint.
Things were just like Yun Chu thought, just when Yun Chu had just finished drinking tea, extinguished the stove, and washed the tea set in clean water, Pei Xingzhen walked into the exhortation field with a huge burden.
I haven't seen him for a long time, this guy looks more like a civilian official than a military general, and his green robe is held up high by his belly, like a big green grasshopper.
Seeing Yun Chu washing tea sets by the well, Pei Xingjian came over and asked directly, "Which one do you live in?" ”
Yun Chu Nunu mouth, after Pei Xingjian confirmed Yun Chu's residence, he walked to the thatched hut next to him and said to the people in the house: "Or, you can change places!" ”
The people in the house looked at Pei Xingjian for a long time, and finally left the hut with their things.
Pei Xingjian threw his luggage on the bed, came to Yun Chu again, and said, "I may be the vanguard of the former army." ”
Yun Chu was in no mood to discuss the problems of the front army and the rear army with him, and looked at the person who had just been driven away by Pei Xingjian: "Do you know these people?" ”
Pei Xingjian said: "I know, but I don't know each other, these people are all officials transferred by His Majesty from the state and county, it seems that there will be another group of people in the court who will be dismissed and taken away." ”
Yun Chu said: "When Xue Rengui comes, there should be further news from him, but what did Your Majesty do with the three of us and these people?" ”
Pei Xingzhen said with a smile: "These people should be the people we mainly dealt with during the period when His Majesty sealed Mount Tai. ”
Yun Chu said: "I tried it, and I threw a person out of the house, and as a result, people didn't even bother to do such things as being angry with me." ”
Pei Xingjian said: "I also tried just now, let the family move, people will move, it seems that these people are not very willing to be too intimate with the two of us, but Your Majesty wants to lock us up." ”
Yun Chu smiled and said, "You have also become bad, you know the reason, if you have to say it, I won't say it." ”
Pei Xingjian said with a smile: "Let's see if Xue Rengui can say it." ”
Yun Chu said again: "What's the point of telling us, you should tell Your Majesty to be considered a hero." ”
Pei Xingjian laughed and said: "The price of the hero in your mouth is too great, anyway, I admit defeat." ”
Yun Chu saw that Pei Xingjian had become a gallless rat, so he was not very willing to pay attention to him, and went straight into the hut, ready to sleep.
The smile on Pei Xingjian's face also disappeared, he made the bed, sighed the bed, sighed, and fell on the bed.
At dawn, after Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian finished washing, the steward who was kicked out by Yun Chu brought food to the servants.
Yun Chu glanced at it, and there was a look of displeasure on his face, because the steward sent a military ration.
There was no fixed military food model in Datang before, they all had something to eat, and since there was such a thing as surplus food in Chang'an City, this kind of fixed military food in front of Yun Chu began to appear in the Tang army.
A portion of beef bone fried noodles, a portion of dried meat, a seasoning packet, a little dry salt vegetables, and finally a portion of dried bean flour for water to drink, with salt added to it.
Beef bone fried noodles are added a certain amount of beef bone powder when frying dry flour, and there is meat oil refined from pigs, cattle and sheep in the middle.
As for dried meat, it is only a finger-long section, and it is the product of roasting beef and then drying it.
The officers and men in the army like this kind of military food very much, but Yun Chu doesn't like it.
After all, when he was mixing this thing in the Chang'an workshop, Yun Chu had eaten it many times, and as for the taste, it was limited to being able to eat it.
Originally, this thing could have tasted better, at least the flour could have been made into a dough, the seasoning could have been richer, the fat had more, and even a sugar packet could have been added to it.
This kind of military ration, Chang'an's workshop has actually been studied, but unfortunately, it was rejected by Xue Rengui.
The reason for the refusal was that Xue Rengui didn't want to give the soldiers good food, he felt that after doing so, it would weaken the combat effectiveness of the Qin soldiers, and then make the Qin soldiers no longer endure hard fighting.
Because of this, Yun Chu once had a big quarrel with Xue Rengui, but unfortunately, he had no way to convince the stubborn donkey commander.
As a result, Chang'an City was distributed to the soldiers on an expedition, and the military rations at the time of handover became what he saw.
The fried noodles with bone meal are yellow-brown in color, and when water is added, they are like......
Yun Chucai set his eyes on the face of the steward who liked "The Mean", and this guy hid far away with a tiger jump, and kept saying: "This is the rule of the exhortation field." ”
Because the servants brought boiling water, after a while, a slight burnt smell from the beef bone fried noodles wafted in the exhortation field.
While smelling the smell of beef stock fried noodles, Yun Chu also smelled the rotten smell from Xue Rengui.
Sure enough, after looking for a while, Yun Chu saw Xue Rengui drinking beef bone fried noodle soup from the door of a thatched hut on the very edge.
Yun Chu looked at the steward and said, "Get me the No. 2 military ration, don't tell me that you don't have this thing here." ”
The steward shook his head again and again, "There really isn't." ”
Just as Yun Chu was about to step forward and beat this guy again, he heard Xue Rengui's voice coming from a distance.
"Luoyang doesn't have the No. 2 military ration you said."
Yun Chu looked at Xue Rengui, who was walking over from the tiger and dragon, and said, "In that case, you should explain to me where the 20,000 No. 2 military rations sent to your barracks went?"
Didn't you swallow it personally? ”
Xue Rengui took a sip of soup and said with a smile: "Xue never drinks the blood of soldiers, part of the No. 2 military rations you sent were in the treasury of Chang'an, and the other part was sent to Nanzhao. ”
Yun Chu looked at the unsightly marks formed by Xue Rengui drinking beef bone fried noodles in his mouth, and snorted: "Tu Baozi." ”
Xue Rengui had long been accustomed to eating this kind of military food on weekdays, and he stretched out his tongue and swept around the hairy mouth, and then sent the remaining beef bone fried noodles into his mouth.
Pei Xingjian also walked over with a bowl and said to Yun Chu: "There are green onions in this soup, which is already very particular." ”
Xue Rengui sneered and said: "If you want Chang'an soldiers, you can only be Chang'an soldiers, this kind of plan, you can't succeed in a certain family." ”
Yun Chu looked at Xue Rengui with his hands behind his back and said: "The generals don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, Your Majesty has done this to the extreme, only before the war, the three of us were sent over to have a short contact with these people, do you think this is a good job?" ”
Xue Rengui sneered and said: "We are arranging our troops, and the battle naturally has Captain Zhichong to take action, what are you so familiar with with Captain Zhichong and even the soldiers under their command?" ”
This sentence, even the bold Yun Chu did not dare to answer.
"When did you come?"
"I entered the city yesterday evening, and I was already here when it got dark, by the way, all the Chang'an soldiers were assigned to you, are you satisfied this time?"
Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian glanced at each other, their expressions were a little dark, and the matter was already very clear.
This time, he led the troops to escort the emperor's eastern tour, and among the three of them, Xue Rengui was respected, and Xue Rengui also unceremoniously took over the military power.
Among the three people, Pei Xingzhen clearly knew that he was the front army, Xue Rengui knew everything, and only Yun Chu didn't know that he had led the rear army until this moment.
Don't look at it as just a small chronological issue, the trust of the three people in the emperor's heart can also be seen from this incident.
Yun Chu was reluctant to eat the No. 1 military rations, because he knew how the beef bones in the beef bone fried noodles came from, this thing was very expensive, it could not be that the butchers took the clean bones of the shaved meat to the stone mill and ground them into bone meal, there are many pig bones, sheep bones, and even the bones of chickens, ducks and geese.
Yun Chu didn't want to guess the origin of those bones, so he even wanted to eat the dry food brought by the family than eat this thing.
The atmosphere in the exhortation field did not become lively because there were more Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, on the contrary, since the arrival of the three of Yun Chu, those who came in first had a dead face all day long, and in addition to maintaining the due courtesy to the three of Yun Chu, they purely treated these three as air.
It wasn't until Ren Yaxiang, the head of the Tang Dynasty's military department, arrived at the exhortation ground with a group of people that the atmosphere here became a little more lively.
It was mainly because this obese Shangshu of the Tang Dynasty Military Department had just arrived at the exhortation ground, so he divided the people here into three groups, which were led by Yun Chu, Pei Xingjian, and Xue Rengui.
A good point is that when he was here, Xue Rengui did not control the power of Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian.
Ren Yaxiang explained the emperor's will clearly, and behind the three of Yun Chu, they each had an extra team.
At noon that day, the three teams had already divided up and down in terms of food, Yun Chu led sixteen subordinates, and when they began to eat large pieces of beef, Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian's subordinates were still eating the No. 1 military ration.
The reason for such a change is entirely because there is a group of accompanying military doctors among the people who came with Ren Yaxiang, and the leader of these military doctors is Lao He, He Bingshu, who treats all sergeants equally.
Early in the morning, when Xue Rengui and his subordinates were running in circles around the exhortation field, Yun Chu and his subordinates sat around the fire and drank tea while discussing the problems that the rear army would face.
Pei Xingjian is also doing similar work as Yun Chu, they are the former army, and the requirement is to clear any danger that may be encountered for His Majesty the Emperor, so Pei Xingjian is very serious this time, and his huge voice keeps coming from behind the hut, it seems that he still likes Yiyantang.
"That's it, the most tedious thing we have to do, it's more like the rear army, it's better to say that it's the containment team, it's not our turn to worry about these things like combat defense, the only thing we need to be responsible for Your Majesty is to ensure that there is no shortage of food and straw for the army."
Yun Chu held the teacup and said the task of his rear army with a smile, and then, it was time to speak freely, Yun Chu wanted to see how determined the emperor was to implement the "soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers".
According to the Tang Dynasty in the history books, this strategy is very poorly executed, if it is really implemented, where will the Tang Dynasty come from?
