Chapter 48: Two Brothers, One Gang and One Rou
The little grandfather is really interesting, at least Luo Zhong, who is stationed outside the Dinghuai Gate, thinks so.
Luo Zhong is the general manager, the seven-rank military attaché. He had four hundred and fifty brethren under his command.
I just received an order to come to Dinghuai Gate to garrison, and temporarily listen to the command of Xu Qin in the Ministry of Rites.
The boss in his heart was unwilling, isn't it good to stay in the barracks in the ice and snow, what do you have to do here at Dinghuaimen.
What does the Ministry of Rites need to help with? And also listen to the command of a five-grade civil official. He came with emotions.
There is a field outside the Dinghuai Gate, and now there is only one gate and a sign, and there is no courtyard wall.
There are opinions and opinions, and after Luo General arrived, he still built a camp on the spot in accordance with the requirements of the code. Everything came according to the requirements of arming.
Then he saw the sixteen or seventeen-year-old five-grade official, and he was even more angry.
What is this called, we have an expedition of thousands of miles to kill countless people and are only seventh-grade officials, and he is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with five grades?
But when he knew that this young man was a small prince, the resentment in his heart dissipated a lot.
The first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the grandson of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the future Duke of Wei. It's really not high for someone to be a five-grade official.
The first thing Xu Qin did when he arrived was that each soldier was given two pairs of muslin socks. He killed an old cow in violation of the law, so that everyone had a meal of beef.
It is illegal to kill cattle, but no one in the barracks dares to take care of it.
There's nothing that can't be solved with one barbecue, and if there is, just two.
In ancient times, barbecue was far more than the flowers played in later generations, and the barbecue in later generations ate seasonings. And the ancients could bake anything, and they could bake patterns.
Xu Qin prepared his own barbecue ingredients, his family sold seafood, and all kinds of spices were sufficient, except for chili peppers, he basically found all the other ingredients.
At least that's what he thought of himself, and the beef was marinated beforehand according to the way of later generations, and then roasted by the chef.
At first, he thought he was going to train cooks, but as soon as he got started, he didn't have much to do.
He is a two-knife with a high eye, and he is an expert in barbecue. However, you still have to adjust the dipping sauce yourself.
A special roast beef, Luo is always satisfied. The soldiers are all rectums, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, they almost bowed to Xu Qin.
patted his chest and assured him that the little grandfather would hit wherever he wanted.
Then Xu Qin, who owed his mouth, wanted to see what the fire gun was like, but Luo Zhong didn't take it seriously at all.
directly asked his subordinate sentry commander to demonstrate, and Xu Qin was disappointed. The current musket does not have the appearance of the arquebus.
It turned out to be straight, with a wooden handle and a round iron pipe. When in use, light the fire rope and fire iron marbles or special arrows.
The largest one is called a cannon, the smaller one is called a firearm, and the smaller one is called a handcuff. In fact, it is all a metal tube, which is ignited and fired with a fire rope.
It's too primitive, but it's still pretty powerful to use. At least between ten and two hundred steps is very lethal.
After saying this, Luo Zhong was proud, and Xu Qin felt that it was better to go back and eat meat. Ten steps to two hundred steps, this range calculation is too nonsense.
As for accuracy, it's all about experience, and firearms have not yet had the tools to aim at.
As long as this Shenji Battalion can still show its might during the Yongle Northern Expedition, after seeing the firearms of later generations, Xu Qin has completely lost interest in this thing.
The list of shops entering the field was announced, and there was an uproar. Xu Qin simply didn't talk about it at all, and there were very few shops in all the princes and nobles.
Li Zhigang was greeted by all kinds of greetings on the way to the court and home, all of them smiling and complimenting him for being upright and honest.
There are real, and most of them are fake. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Li Zhigang has experienced three dynasties, how can he not understand.
He couldn't tell if he was bitter, his teeth were bleeding, and he wanted to tear Xu Qin alive. said that he would let him carry the black cauldron, why is it now that he has become his own black cauldron?
If it goes on like this, he can't get mixed up, he says he doesn't know about it, no one believes it at all. No matter how domineering Xu Qin is, he will not fail to give face to your boss.
You say you don't know who believes you? Li Zhigang's son, who was studying in Guozijian, was blocked in the alley and beaten.
Now I don't even dare to go out of my house. The problem is that Li Zhigang can't find Xu Qin, this guy is shamelessly hiding in the barracks.
There are more people who hate Xu Qin, but no one dares to go to the barracks to find trouble. So this punching bag can only be Li Zhigang.
Li Zhigang is going crazy, and he can't stay in the officialdom if he continues like this.
So he was the first to raise questions at the court.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the list of entries announced this time is unfair, please re-check it." Li Zhigang was the first to come out and shake the pot.
Zhu Di glanced at him and felt funny in his heart. That bastard set a fire and hid in the barracks by himself and didn't come out, which made Li Zhigang miserable.
"No need, I've seen this list, so let's do it as such." Zhu Di said coldly.
Li Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief and took a step back to go back.
You've all seen it, I don't even know about this list. It's all the ghosts of His Majesty and Xu Qin.
Although it is more embarrassing to do so, the Shangshu of the dignified ceremonial department can't even control the Lang Zhong below. It's a joke to say it.
But it's better than being the target of public criticism.
After the list was issued, Li Zhigang was unhappy. But the housekeeper of King Han was so frightened that his hands trembled.
"How dare he do that? Is he a madman or a fool? "King Han's butler felt as if he had been slapped a dozen times, and his face was hot.
King Han asked him to send the list of shops, but he sent it not only from King Han's family.
That day, Xu Qin could be said to be almost groveling to the King of Han on the street, and everyone thought that he was pinched to death by the King of Han.
Everyone in the Han Wangfu family thinks that Xu Qin is a fool who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard. When you meet others, you dare to be arrogant, but when you meet the King of Han, you can only obey your orders.
So the housekeeper privately stuffed a lot of shops, even more than the Han Wang's.
Of course, these are not stuffed in vain. He accepted the virgins trained by the salt merchants, the houses and shops in Nanjing, and all kinds of antiques and curios.
There are no less than a dozen noble banquets, and he has been more beautiful than the King of Han recently.
And these people promised him that when they really went to sea, there would be sea goods to offer. The housekeeper can say that the spring breeze is proud.
Now, he didn't dare to think about it. As soon as Xu Qin finished him, how beautiful he was before, how miserable he was going to die now.
The house shop and the rare antiques can be returned, but the girl has already broken the melon and can't sew it back.
No, this matter must be found by King Han. Only King Han can save me.
King Han was at the court meeting, and he really hadn't heard about the list in the past two days. Li Zhigang mentioned it and he didn't know until he mentioned it.
But he didn't take it seriously, after all, he thought that Xu Qin would not dare to go against his will, even if there was something boring, it would not be his turn.
His eyes were fixed on the position of the head of the ministers, and in that position sat the current crown prince Zhu Gaochi. Fat, bad legs and feet, and even the Great Pilgrimage can only sit.
How can he not die as a piece of waste? That position should be mine. Sooner or later I'm going to move you down, sitting, no, I'm standing in that position.
Only the waste sits.
"Qin Tianjian has already calculated, the first day of the first month of the next month will be an auspicious day, and it will be the ceremony of the tributary ceremony. The ministries cooperate well with the Ministry of Rites. ”
Zhu Di announced one thing at the time.
"Father, there are many places where the sons and daughters use troops outside the country and there are too few guards, please ask the father to increase the Tiance Guard to the sons."
Zhu Gaoxu said aloud above the ceremony.
His opening was full of silence, Wenchen bowed his head one by one and was silent, and the generals were very excited.
The prince sat peacefully in his chair, unmoved. Actually the eyelids are throbbing.
The King of Han has made great contributions to the country, and as the son of the current emperor, it seems that it is not a big deal to want an army.
But the word 'Tiance' inevitably makes people reverie. Tang Taizong Li Shimin was a general of Tiance before he ascended the throne.
And Li Shimin also became the emperor after killing his eldest brother. Is the second child trying to show his heart?
"Prince, what do you think?" The treacherous and cunning Zhu Di kicked the ball to the prince.
"The second brother's request is reasonable, and the son thinks it's okay. I also ask my father to decide. Prince Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
It's like a Maitreya Buddha.
Although Zhu Di has already established the crown prince, he still likes this second son, and the battle of Jingyan is deadly. And it is a lot of debt not to make him a prince.
A military guard of several thousand people.
"Okay, then classify Tiance Guard as the Han King's Guard." Zhu Di decided on the spot.
Wenchen sighed secretly, this is not a blessing for the country. But no one dared to say anything, after all, Xie Jin had just been demoted to Guangxi.
It was because of the impeachment of King Han that An was charged with dividing the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family. Who would dare to say anything now?
The generals were very excited, they were all on Zhu Gaoxu's side, after all, everyone came down from the Jingyan battlefield together, and they were all stirring horses and spoons in the same pot.
When Zhu Gaoxu was the emperor, everyone was easy to talk to.
It was not until noon that the court dispersed, and the officials of all the ministries left one after another. Only Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu remained.
The old father Zhu Di wanted to eat with his two sons, and the crown princess and the princess of Han each took their children and were already waiting in the harem.
After each of them greeted each other, Zhu Di greeted the banquet. Three fathers and sons have a table, and two concubines have a table with their children.
"Second brother, don't patronize the war, and take care of your own home." After drinking, the prince of the third tour spoke with a smile.
It doesn't seem to be interesting, it's just a random sentence.
Zhu Gaoxu has always regarded the prince's words as a fart, so he didn't raise his head. But the Han princess and Princess Wei can't.
The Han Wangfu is nominally her housekeeper, and she quickly got up to apologize. After all, it was the prince who apologized first and then asked what the situation was.
was just about to stand up when he was pulled by the crown princess.
"Leave him alone, he's just gossiping, don't take it seriously." The crown princess grabbed Webster and said.
But Merriam-Webster had heard it, and he couldn't afford not to hear it.
"Well, what's wrong? The boss has always been unconcerned about other people's affairs, and it should be very serious to say it now. ”
Zhu Di said casually, his eyes wandering over the dishes.
"This matter is still the one who has been on the list, the housekeeper of the second family has been very beautiful recently, and I heard that most of the nobles of the imperial court have taken his path and want to stuff their own shops into the field."
The prince said with a smile. This is said casually, but it is a hidden needle in the cotton, and it is a trick to force death.
You, the king of Han, have befriended most of the nobles of the court, what do you want to do.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyebrows, which resembled Zhu Di, moved, and the boss saw thunder in a silent place.
"I've been busy with military affairs lately, and I've forgotten to manage my family, so I'll clean him up when I go back." Zhu Gaoxu said lightly.
Zhu Gaochi nodded, took a glass of wine and toasted his father, accompanied by Zhu Gaochi.
"What the second brother said is to take care of it. What I know is that he is bold and insatiable, and if I don't know, I think it's the second brother's idea, which is easy to make people think too much. This kind of person can't stay around......"
The prince said with a smile. seems to be giving Zhu Gaoxu an idea.
"Okay, listen to the eldest brother, as long as the eldest brother doesn't think about me, I'm not afraid." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said.
Princess Han was sweating down, and Zhu Di picked up the wine glass and interrupted the words of the two sons.
