In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one way to become an official, and that was the imperial examination.

After obtaining the fame of Jinshi, the imperial court will assign official positions, some high and some low. However, there are not many jinshi in each section, and if there is a vacancy in an official position in any place, the official department will arrange for a suitable person to be selected from among the people to take up the post. This is also why people who have achieved fame can be called masters, because they have the opportunity to be officials. Especially in the Hongwu period, after several killings, there was an urgent shortage of officials in various places, and the opportunity to promote people to become officials was great, and the status naturally rose.

This is the way to become an official in the civil service system.

And for the military attaché, it is much more difficult.

Zhu Yuanzhang set the system of guarding the tuntian. Those who have been soldiers have been soldiers for generations, and they are farmers on weekdays. The military attache in the army has already decided, a turnip and a pit. If you want to be an officer, it's simple, boil the top to death or get away, the position is vacant, and the people below have a chance to be on top.

If the emperor makes an appointment without authorization, it is okay, but the outcome will not be very good.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang once opened a martial arts examination, and the martial arts system at that time was relatively rough, and there were not many people who participated, so I will not elaborate here. But the final result was that the martial champion of that session was named Xue Gui, who was arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang to serve in Long Xiangwei, and then because he couldn't stand the exclusion from the top and bottom of the army, he went away with a seal.

This is the case in the army, and it is very difficult for an outsider with no merit and qualifications to integrate into it and gain the recognition of the robe. Zhu Yuanzhang also figured this out later, so he did not continue to hold martial arts.

Now that Xu Ruyi mentioned the arrangements for the Wuju people, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but scratch his head a little: "The martial arts in the third year of Hongwu, the result was not very good, now think about it, if you still send the Wuju people to the army, I'm afraid it will end in general." ”

"Your Majesty sees it. Xu Ruyi said with a smile: "Soldiers don't know generals, generals don't know soldiers, it has always been a taboo in the army." If there is no war for a while, the new generals will probably be pushed out soon. ”

"Do you have any good ideas?" asked Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Majesty, how about setting up another army?" Xu Ruyi smiled and said his countermeasures.

"Another army?" Zhu Yunwen thought thoughtfully.

"Yes, another army. Xu Ruyi nodded and explained: "Although King Yan has a heart of disobedience, it still takes a year and a half. Although the army of the imperial court is numerous, there are very few people who have been guarding the fields for decades, and there are very few people who do it every five days, and where there is any combat power, but he is a good hand in agricultural affairs, and he is simply a farmer with a knife and a gun. If you really face the elite soldiers and strong generals under the command of King Yan who fight outside the fortress all day long, I am afraid that the chances of victory are not great. Only by establishing a new army and practicing every day will it be of great use in the future!"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Practicing every day, the military expenditure will inevitably be huge, and I am afraid that the court will not be able to afford it." ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are expensive but not much more expensive. If the practice is successful, and three meals are provided with blood food, the slave and maid think that 3,000 people are enough. ”

Hearing Xu Ruyi's explanation, Zhu Yunwen asked again: "Then according to your estimates, how much will it cost in a year?"

"200,000 taels! But when the new army was first established, it still needed to prepare ordnance, grain, and grass camps, and I am afraid it would need 100,000 taels. ”

"300,000 taels?" Hearing this number, Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Xu Ruyi and laughed: "You, you, I just received a windfall of 400,000 yuan, and before it was hot, you spent most of it, but you really have yours." Okay. With a flick of the sleeves of his robe, Zhu Yunwen made a decision: "The new army is decided." The topic of today's martial arts examination revolves around the strategy of military training. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Of course. ”

。。。。。。

Poisoning is a technical job. If the target is just an ordinary person, just sneak into his food and drink. But if the target is changed to Zhu Di's three sons in Beijing, then things will be much more complicated.

Before Zhu Gaochi and the three of them left, Dao Yan only gave them one instruction: "Be decent, be careful in everything." ”

Needless to say, it's decent. When it comes to being careful, they're really doing it to the extreme. For example, in terms of food, after entering Beijing, their first meal was eaten with Zhu Yunwen in the palace, and for the second meal, they sent three guards, found three restaurants in Beijing, bought some wine and meat, and came back. Ma Sanbao personally tried the dishes, and felt that there was no problem, so he let the three of them eat.

"Overseer. Ye Yuze told the news that he heard, and said with a sad face: "If they still do this tomorrow morning, I'm afraid this poison won't be able to get in." ”

Xu Ruyi also frowned: "Is it possible to make some articles at the store where they buy wine and rice?"

"Difficult. Night Yuze shook his head.

Xu Ruyi's eyes narrowed and he didn't speak.

Qian Kemu beside the bed said at this time: "Father-in-law." (There is night rain on the side, and the money carved wood cannot be commensurate with the door owner)

Say. ”

"In addition to direct entry, there is actually a second way to poison. ”

"Oh? Xu Ruyi urged.

"The smell. Qian Kemu said: "If it can be made into smoke and inhaled into the heart, it can actually have the same effect." It's just that the grass people don't have this ability. ”

"Then what's the use of you saying this!" Xu Ruyi glared at Qian Kemu with some irritation.

"Overseer. Ye Yuze said on the side: "The shopkeeper of this pharmacy doesn't have this ability, it doesn't mean that others don't have it." ”

"Shen Hongxian?" Xu Ruyi also reacted.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Xu Ruyi didn't want Shen Hongxian to get involved. After all, she is fundamentally an outsider. But now that time is tight, the defense of Zhu Gaochi and the three of them is not leaky. Thirty-six guards surrounded him day and night, and he couldn't do anything for a while.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Ruyi nodded and said, "Go, call Shen Hongxian." Be careful not to be seen. ”

"Yes. Night Yuze turned and walked away.

After a while, Ye Yuze took Shen Hongxian to the back hall of Renxintang Pharmacy, the white shoes crossed the threshold, and a voice like a silver bell sounded at the same time: "Seeing that the sky is getting dark, what are you calling me to do at this time?" ”

"A thousand taels of silver, do our family a favor. Xu Ruyi stretched out his hand and pointed to the oiled paper bag on the table next to him: "There is a package of medicine here, can you be sure of making it into poisonous smoke?"

"A thousand taels of silver, just do this?" Shen Hongxian's eyes lit up, and she covered her lips and chuckled: "You Dongchang are really rich." ”

"This thousand taels of silver also includes hush money, remember not to talk nonsense with people. Xu Ruyi said lightly.

"It doesn't seem like a good thing. Shen Hongxian came to the table and opened the medicine bag, a few heavy black medicine noodles. Shen Hongxian lightly touched it with his fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed it. He opened his mouth and read: "Poria cocos, croton, notoginseng, flower snake gall, sheep's horn, alum... Shen Hongxian was suddenly surprised: "There is also a hundred herb frost?"

Lin Lin always read more than ten kinds of medicinal materials, Shen Hongxian raised his eyes and smiled: "The liver and intestines are injured in one day? Who are you hurting?"

"You don't care about this, just say if you can do it, right?"

"Yes and no. Shen Hongxian said: "I have the ability to make him into a sachet, and the smell is volatilized." But you can't make him the kind of smoke you say. Do you need it?"

"What's the use of making a sachet? Do you want our family to send him a purse?"

"Not really. Shen Hongxian smiled mischievously: "You take this sachet with you, and dangle it in front of his eyes for a quarter of an hour, and you can fill him up!"

Xu Ruyi thought for a while and wondered: "Then isn't our family going to suffer too?"

Shen Hongxian spread his hands: "I will only use this one, I don't need it, I don't need to say it, I don't want to say it." ”

"Father-in-law. Qian Kemu said: "The medicine prepared by the grass people will attack after an hour. Unless you can run to him at that time, it's useless. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Shen Hongxian said: "Adding a little drunken to here for three days can prolong the seizure time, depending on when you use it." ”

Xu Ruyi calculated the time and asked, "If our family uses it now, if he wants to have a seizure around tomorrow, you may be able to do it?"

"Before and after?" Shen Hongxian nodded: "Yes, but the amount should be increased, the taste may be a little heavy." ”

"What does it smell like?"

"Sachets, naturally, are scented. ”

"Okay, you go ahead and prepare, the medicine here is very complete, it should be able to meet your requirements. Xu Ruyi nodded, and finally made up his mind.

"Just wait. Shen Hongxian picked up the medicine bag and turned away.

。。。。。。

By the time the lights were up, there weren't many people on the streets.

Xu Ruyi carried Shen Hongxian's improved sachet in his arms and went all the way to Yanwang Courtyard.

Riding a horse, the gurgling bumps made Xu Ruyi's crotch a little uncomfortable. This made him miss the little donkey he was abducted by Zhang Sanfeng.

came to the gate of King Yan's mansion, Xu Ruyi waved his hand, and a servant next to him stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock. ”

"Who?" opened a crack in the door, and the porter poked his head out.

Fan Gong didn't say much, reached out and took out a red letter from his arms, with five gilded characters on it, "Dongchang Admiral Xu".

The porter took the post, looked at Fan, and then looked at Xu Ruyi who was riding on a horse behind him, and the porter smiled and said, "Wait a minute, let the villain go and report it." ”

After about the time of tea, the door of the mansion opened again, and the porter bowed down and said, "Father-in-law, please, the three sons of my family are waiting in the side hall." ”

"There is labor. Xu Ruyi nodded, dismounted and followed behind the porter.

Passing through the corridor, turning around, I came to a side hall in the second entrance.

The three brothers of Zhu Gaochi have already sat down in priority and are waiting for tea.

"Admiral Xu Ruyi of Dongchang, see the three highnesses. Xu Ruyi said, and he wanted to bow down.

"No courtesy, no courtesy, my father-in-law is polite. Zhu Gaochi got up with a smile and brushed his sleeves: "My father-in-law came here late at night, I don't know what you are doing? But what is the emperor's will?"

Xu Ruyi looked left and right, in addition to the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, there were also some guards in the hall. Xu Ruyi glanced at her embarrassed face and signaled not to speak.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and ordered left and right: "You guys go down first." ”

"Yes. ”

The maid guards walked out of the side hall one after another, leaving only the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Xu Ruyi, and... A eunuch?

The white face is beardless, and he looks about twenty years old, with two thin eyebrows, and his lips are a little thin, which looks a little mean.

Following Xu Ruyi's gaze, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "Father-in-law doesn't need to care, his name is Ma Sanbao, and he is my personal servant, and he is the most intimate." ”

Xu Ruyi's eyes froze, and he secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that you are that Ma Sanbao." ”

Xu Ruyi looked at Ma Sanbao here, and Ma Sanbao was also looking at Xu Ruyi. Or ... It's vigilance. For some reason, Ma Sanbao always felt that the eunuch in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling.

"Can my father-in-law speak up now... Zhu Gaochi didn't finish his words.

Over there, Zhu Gaoxu sneezed two big sneezes: "Ahhhh

"Ah cut!" Zhu Gaosui couldn't help it, and followed one.

Rubbing his nose, Zhu Gaoxu said unhappily: "Where does this smell come from, it's so fragrant and pungent." ”

"Your Royal Highness, forgive me. Xu Ruyi apologized and said: "The slave maid hurt her body when she entered the palace, so she covered it with some incense sachets all the year round, which made His Highness smile." ”

Xu Ruyi's words were also said in the past. When the eunuchs entered the palace to castrate, there were indeed a lot of dishes that were not clean and easy to incontinence, so they brought some sachets to cover the smell. It's just not as strong as the smell on him.

After listening to Xu Ruyi's explanation, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui showed disgust on their faces, but they knew that this eunuch was a red man in front of the emperor, so they didn't say anything disgusting.

Zhu Gaochi's expression remained unchanged, but he looked at Xu Ruyi apologetically: "The two royal brothers are a little sensitive to this smell, and please don't mind my father-in-law." ”

"Where does Your Highness speak, how dare the slave and maid. ”

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense." Say something quickly, and leave quickly when you're done. Tomorrow, the three of my brothers will pay homage to the tomb to mourn the emperor's ancestor, how can there be all that idle work and nonsense. ”

In fact, according to his meaning, he didn't want to see this eunuch at all. It's just that Zhu Gaochi said that this person is high and powerful and cannot be offended, so he came patiently.

Xu Ruyi calculated the time, but it was about the same, so he said that he had already prepared the rhetoric: "The slave's Dongchang recently received news that it was afraid that someone wanted to be unfavorable to the three highnesses, so I came to remind you.

If it's just a secret plan to rob Mingdao, it doesn't matter, there are many masters around Your Highness, and I also have guards in the East Factory. It's just that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, but I'm afraid that someone will use some indiscriminate roads, and please be more careful. ”

The three of them were stunned after hearing this, they never expected that Xu Ruyi would come tonight to show their goodwill. How is this possible, is he interested in taking refuge?

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and said, "More father-in-law's kindness, I wrote it down." It's just that I don't know if my father-in-law came here to serve the emperor's wishes, or?"

Xu Ruyi showed an inexplicable smile on his face, and said leisurely: "The emperor mistakenly believed the rumors of the villain, and he misunderstood the prince. The slave and maid deeply hated that they were not trusted by the emperor, so they could only help a few highnesses in private. ”
