Chapter 35 No Martial Virtues
The Mid-Autumn Festival feast, the civil and military ministers arrived. Standing outside the noon gate, it seems that there is nothing to do, but in fact, they can divide into small groups.
For example, around Jianyi, there is always no shortage of courtiers to flatter, and the rest of the scholars are also like this.
Yang Rong and Xie Jin's six or seven cabinet bachelors also got together and hugged together.
Xu Jingchang has always been miserable, he is a loner, and no one wants to get close to him.
But today's situation is a bit special, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu followed closely by his side, walking back and forth, just like a little entourage.
This scene stunned everyone.
Is this still the always arrogant Zhu Gaoxu?
Don't fall for it!
On Xungui's side, Qiu Fu and others also came, but due to the previous incident, Qiu Fu was annoyed that Zhu Gaoxu was incompetent and did not come over to say hello.
What is surprising is that Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, took the initiative to come.
"Xu Tongzheng, thank you for your moon cakes, go back to me and pick a few good bows, you are a general, you can't let go of your ability to ride and shoot."
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "I want to learn, but I don't have a famous teacher......
"I'm coming!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said excitedly: "Cousin, if you want to learn, you can learn from me, my martial arts are what my father said." ”
Xu Jingchang gave him a roll of his eyes, and you only have this one left to brag about, but don't delay me to form a gang.
"King Han is still filial piety by His Majesty's side, and I have time to consult with Chengguo Gong."
Zhu Neng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I can't ask for it." ”
While they were chatting, two more people came over, a monk and a civil official.
Yao Guangxiao and Xia Yuanji, these two also came over.
When Xu Jingchang saw this scene, he immediately understood, this old Xia was simply a ghost, and he went to ask Queen Xu for protection, and he found Young Master Yao.
In order to survive, it is not easy for the big guys.
Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji exchanged glances, they were both fallen people at the end of the world, so they could only report to the group to keep warm.
In fact, if you take a closer look, their group is not small.
One prince, two big nine kings, two super princes, across the civil and military, both rich and soldier...... But on closer inspection, this is not the case.
Zhu Gaoxu messed up a good thing because of his stupidity, and he was full of chagrin and didn't know how to redeem it. Natsuhara Yoshi, because when he was taxed, the world was full of enemies.
Zhu Neng is not very good, at least Qiu Fu's comeback, he is not so comfortable as the second in command of Jing Nanxun.
Yao Guangxiao is because of his background, he can only be a lonely minister in the court, and he can't play with anyone.
Even Xu Jingchang himself is disgusted with dogs, and there is no one who can make the official this step.
The so-called not a family, not entering a family, this is also quite appropriate.
But at this moment, another person came in a hurry, he looked around, and he plunged into Xu Jingchang's circle.
This person is tall, dignified, graceful and luxurious, and looks forward to grandeur.
It is the hereditary Duke Cao Guo, the special entry Guanglu doctor, Zuo Zhuguo, and the prince and master Li Jinglong!
According to Zhu Di's statement when he entered the city, Li Jinglong was the first of the heroes.
Well!
It makes sense.
After all, if he hadn't sent hundreds of thousands of troops, Zhu Di wouldn't have been able to win so easily, not to mention that Li Jinglong also took the initiative to open the city and dedicated Yingtian, which was even more of a great contribution.
It's just that as Zhu Di sat firmly on the dragon chair, Li Jinglong's life was uncomfortable.
He was attacked from top to bottom.
The Criminal Department impeached him for harboring evil intentions and plotting against him. The officials impeached him and his brother for plotting rebellion. The Ministry of Rites even impeached him for accepting the prostrations of domestic slaves at home, like the Son of Heaven.
Even Zhu Hu, the recognized virtuous king of Zhou, wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that Li Jinglong had asked him for bribes.
If Xu Jingchang is disgusted with dogs, then Li Jinglong is angry and resentful, and the big guys can't wait for him to get out of here. Li Jinglong also knew that he usually didn't come out.
But the Mid-Autumn Festival can't help but come.
He didn't have time to look closely, and when he saw that there were not many people, he came over.
When he got closer, he found Zhu Gaoxu's cannibalistic gaze.
"You still have a face?"
In a word, Zhu Gaoxu blushed and retreated, but Xu Jingchang smiled, "Cao Guogong, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you now?" ”
Li Jinglong said bitterly: "Let's make do with life, you can't look for death and life." ”
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened, and he wanted to scold, but Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Cao Guogong, I recently received an excerpt from the Ministry of Rites, and I want to repair the actual record, I plan to promote you and be in charge of the military affairs part, are you interested?" ”
Li Jinglong was stunned, he wanted to take it as long as it was a job now, not to mention repairing the actual record, even if it was repairing the horse's hooves!
But who can answer him?
"Xu Tongzheng, I, I'm afraid I can't do it......"
"Don't be afraid, you just have to tell the truth. My father said before his death that the sons of Xun Gui are second to none, that is, you Cao Guogong, who has civil and military skills, which are rare in the world. ”
Xu Jingchang praised Li Jinglong, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng's eyes fell off, what the hell are you doing?
Fortunately, both of them still respected Xu Jingchang and couldn't help it.
It was the old monk Yao Guangxiao, who had a little thought in his heart and a smile on his face.
"Cao Guogong, Xu Tongzheng has taken a fancy to you, and Lao Wei also thinks you are good."
Li Jinglong was shocked, this is what Young Master Yao said, he hurriedly thanked him, and without waiting to elaborate, the palace gate was opened, and the ministers entered.
Xu Jingchang's group is in the front, and the position is also the best.
After Zhu Di arrived, he had a smile on his face and was in a good mood.
"Today's festival, there is no need to be formal, everyone drinks and expresses their feelings freely."
The ministers congratulated the Son of Heaven, and then the feast began.
Xu Jingchang is okay here, and Wenchen is even more honest, but those Jing Nan Xun nobles, without a few glasses of wine, began to shout five and six.
As if they had returned to the barracks, they fought one battle after another, broke the Southern Army, and were invincible.
At night, in the barracks, bonfires are lit, singing and dancing, and they are unscrupulous.
Zhu Di saw it in his eyes, not only was he not angry, but he was overjoyed and frequently persuaded to drink.
At this moment, one of the nobles stood up, "Your Majesty, there is good wine and food at the moment, but there is no entertainment, and the ministers give Your Majesty martial arts to cheer up, just like in the military camp before." ”
The person who spoke was none other than Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng.
Zhu Di smiled, "Okay, I know your ability, bravely champion the three armies, invincible." ”
Zheng Heng said proudly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your compliment, the minister fought in Baigou at the beginning, rushed to the front, killed countless people, and chased him to Jinan City in one go...... By the way, the person who fled in front of the minister in embarrassment at that time, and couldn't catch up, seemed to be above the Golden Palace. ”
Zheng Heng set his eyes on Li Jinglong.
"Cao Guogong, although you are above me, but I am not convinced, the general of the defeated army, how can you be brave?"
Li Jinglong's old face was flushed, and he became more and more embarrassed, he didn't go to the banquet, he was simply looking for a scolding.
Zheng Heng sneered: "That's it, I won't say anything, please ask Cao Guogong to make a move, try my fists and feet with me, and give Your Majesty a lot of fun!" ”
How dare Li Jinglong make a move with Zheng Heng, and was about to refuse, when he suddenly heard Xu Jingchang stroking his palms and laughing.
"Yes, yes! The literati move their mouths, and the warriors do their hands. Zheng Heng, I remember well, Ling Zun was a hereditary thousand households during the Taizu period, and Cao Guogong's father, King Qiyang, was the nephew of Emperor Taizu. This is also similar to the big banquet Tongque Tai, the five sons will fight against the clan Junjie, it is really a dragon fight, a good show. ”
Xu Jingchang said, walked in front of Li Jinglong, and said in a low voice: "Can you fight?" ”
Li Jinglong was stunned, he naturally could fight, the question is whether he dares?
"Xu Tongzheng, I, I see that today's happy day is not easy to do, so as not to hurt the harmony ......"
"That's not right."
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, Ling Zun and my grandfather are both the princes of the country rewarded by Taizu, if my brother doesn't go, he will let my little arms and legs go up." This is the face of several generations, and what the warriors are fighting for is a breath. A real man, don't say that you can't do it, don't embarrass your ancestors. Come, I'll toast you first. ”
Li Jinglong's blood surged, staring at this glass of wine, gritting his teeth, "Thank you Xu Tongzheng, let's wait until I win before drinking." ”
After speaking, Li Jinglong flew out with a strong step, raised his fist, and smashed it at Zheng Heng.
Zheng Heng didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to attack, so he hurriedly attacked, but he didn't expect that he was hit by a powerful punch and was beaten back one after another...... Li Jinglong stepped forward, swept the hall, and Zheng Heng fell to the ground in response.
Zheng Heng was stunned, got up from the ground, and said angrily: "You, you sneak attack, you don't talk about martial arts." I'm not ready yet! ”
Li Jinglong punched and kicked, struck out the evil qi in his chest, and couldn't help sneering: "Zheng Heng, come again if you don't accept it!" ”
