"Sir, the King of Ji invites you to come to the palace to perform a horse hanging show." Chen Shouzheng, a doctor in the Ministry of War's Chariot and Cleaning Department, was leisurely reading military books at home, and the old housekeeper came to report.
The Chejia Qing Li Division is in charge of national horse administration and evangelism, and its status in the Ministry of War is not as good as the other divisions. It is in charge of the assessment, selection, promotion, succession and other matters of national military officials and manages the chieftains' military selection and Qing Li Division;
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the merits, pensions, inspections and other matters of military officials and manages confinement and maritime embargo; the Arsenal Bureau is in charge of military registration, weapons and martial arts examinations across the country; and there is also the newly established administrative department of the emperor.
The military-produced weapons and equipment cleaning department have greater power than the chariot and driving officials department.
However, when the Ministry of War headquarters was discussing matters, Chen Shou was ranked ahead of several other ministers, and no one dared to object. Without him, this was a relative of the emperor, the younger brother of Concubine Chen, the Prince of Ji Zhu Ruodeng
My uncle. With this level of status, who wouldn’t be polite?
"Deng'er is confused, why do you want to use a horse tag when you have nothing to do? If it reaches His Majesty's ears, wouldn't it give a bad impression of being despondent with things?"
Chen Shou murmured softly, but still ordered his servants, "Tell King Ji that I will be here soon."
The imperial concubine Chen was the daughter of a general. Brothers Chen Shou and Chen Biao both had official positions. Chen Shou served as a driver in the Ministry of War, while Chen Biao served as a staff general under Gu Chaojian, the governor of Heilongjiang.
Brother Yang Guowei was a hero of Emperor Guangwu's Conglong. After his death in battle, his son Yang Fuchen was granted the title of Marquis of Xingye.
Because of this relationship, as soon as King Zhu Ruodeng of Hebei was born, he was surrounded by a large force. Although it was far from comparable to Crown Prince Zhu Ruoji, it was much stronger than King Zhu Ruofeng of Yu. After all, Zhu Ruofeng's mother-in-law Huang
Although Wan was given the title of noble concubine, she was just the daughter of a small chieftain of the Yao tribe, and her power was far inferior to that of the Chen family.
According to the ancestral system, after the princes are fifteen years old and serve in the Yuan Dynasty, they have to be sent to their own fiefs to become vassals, where they will build a royal palace and live there. They are not allowed to return to the capital unless they are ordered to do so.
The fiefdom of Zhu Ruodeng, the king of Hebei, is in Baoding, and the fiefdom of Zhu Ruofeng, the king of Yu, is in Kaifeng. They are both seventeen years old, but the old emperor asked one of them to go to the Ming Dynasty Royal Army Academy and the other to the Ming Dynasty Royal Naval Academy to study.
After three years, the issue of vassalage can only be postponed.
The outside world said that the Holy Emperor was deeply in love and was reluctant to leave the second and third princes. In fact, only Zhu Hengjia knew in his heart that he was afraid that the crown prince would become too powerful and threaten his throne, so he deliberately left the two princes to act as a check and balance in the capital.
Although the supreme throne will be passed to the crown prince sooner or later, he has not done enough yet and is still reluctant to hand over power.
My body is still in great shape, and I will have to work for at least another twenty years! The old emperor's heart is screaming.
Chen Shou straightened his clothes and went to Zhu Ruodeng's palace. The palace was not big. Emperor Guangwu was always frugal and only ate four dishes and one soup for one meal. Naturally, the house given to his son was not big either. He was the former governor of Liangjiang in Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
Lang Tingzuo's house.
Ordinarily, Lang Tingzuo was the dignified governor and his house should be very large. But when Emperor Guangwu went on the Northern Expedition, no one wanted to be the governor of these two rivers to stop the Ming army. Lang Tingzuo volunteered and took office in a hurry. When he arrived in Nanjing, he was busy with military affairs. How could he be in the mood?
I went to find a luxurious house to enjoy, and I just found a simple and elegant mansion and stayed there.
However, although the palace is not large, it is extremely elegantly decorated.
Entering the main entrance, there is a pool of spring water with a rockery in the middle, layers of stone steps, bamboo forests, and winding paths leading to secluded areas.
Chen Shou couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: His Royal Highness King Ji is so elegant and noble, and he is really a benevolent monarch. Of course, he just muttered in his heart that he would never dare to utter the word "benevolent monarch" from his mouth, it would be a crime of beheading! p>
The palace servant introduced him into an elegant wing. Chen Shou went in and took a look. In addition to King Zhu Ruodeng, there were four other people inside.
The young man with long eyebrows and sharp eyes in the center is none other than King Zhu Ruodeng of Ji.
The other man, with a dark face and short beard, eyes like cold stars, was Yang Fuchen, the Marquis of Xingye. When he saw Chen Shou, Yang Fuchen hurriedly greeted Chen Shou with a polite salute, "Cousin, are you here?" Chen Shou also smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a return gift.
Then he sat down at the card table reserved for himself.
There was another man, with a majestic physique and a murderous aura about him. At first glance, he was a military commander.
Four people sat down on the poker table, and there was another person, who was about the same age as Zhu Ruodeng and had darker skin. He did not play cards and just sat silently watching.
Chen Shou was very surprised and asked Zhu Ruodeng softly: "Your Highness, who are these two people?"
Zhu Ruodeng said with a smile: "Of these two, one is Yu's division commander, Yang Wei, associate bachelor of the Royal Army Academy of the Ming Dynasty (equivalent to deputy dean). Yang Wei was a brave general in the army in the past, with both civil and military skills. The professor's "Military Preparation" and
"New Book of Ji Xiao", the students all like to listen; the other is Yu's classmate, Gao Hongyuan, the son of Enpinghou.
Seeing King Ji introducing themselves, the two of them hurriedly saluted Chen Shou. Chen Shou smiled and returned the greetings one by one, but he was thinking in his heart: His Highness played this card well, and unknowingly won over two powerful people. This Gao Hongyuan
Although he is only a trainee, his father, Enping Hou Gao Minggui, is a powerful soldier in Taiwan; Yang Wei is a fifth-grade assistant bachelor in the Army Academy. Every year, the academy students who graduate can be regarded as his disciples.
In one year, the world is full of peaches and plums. Although these graduates have just been assigned and their positions in the military are not high, they can accumulate considerable strength over time.
Born in an imperial family, I have been accustomed to seeing political disturbances since I was a child, and almost everyone has his own thoughts.
Zhu Ruodeng, the king of Ji, was naturally capable. He went to study at the Royal Army Academy of the Ming Dynasty on the order of Zhu Hengjia. As soon as he entered the hospital, he actively attracted Zhu Yangen, the bachelor in charge (equivalent to the dean), and the two associate bachelors Yang Wei and Zhang Shixian.
Zhu Yangen was an old man and did not want to get too close to the prince, and he stayed away from the olive branch; Zhang Shixian was a nerd who only knew how to study military theory and did not like to socialize; Yang Wei, on the other hand, served as a governor and general in the army when he was young.
He has a straight-forward personality. When he saw that King Ji thought highly of him, he started to interact with her. After going back and forth, he became a guest in the palace.
Seeing everyone gathered, Zhu Ruodeng laughed and said, "Don't be dumbfounded, everyone, hurry up and hang yourself."
Dadiao refers to the horse hanging tag.
Horse hanging was popular during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Gu Yanwu said in "Rizhilu": "In the Wanli period, there was peace and quiet, and the scholar-bureaucrats had no intention. There were gamblers who followed each other. When the apocalypse came, horse hanging was performed." Because of this
The game originated in Wuzhong, so it is also called "Wu Diao".
Although this game originated in the Ming Dynasty, it originated from the Han Dynasty and is considered the originator of poker, tiles and mahjong. When the Chu and Han Dynasties were fighting, Han Xin invented the "leaf-sized" card in order to alleviate the homesickness of the soldiers.
"Leaf Play". In the 12th century, Marco Polo brought this kind of playing cards from China to Europe. Westerners continued to innovate on the basis of Chinese playing cards, and went through several stages such as winning cards, whist, bridge, etc., and finally evolved into
Poker cards of later generations.
"Yi Zi Opera" continued to develop in China. In the Ming Dynasty, it developed into "Horse Tag", and later evolved into Zi Tai and Mahjong.
As for why it is called "horse hanging tag", mainly from the perspective of the gameplay, there must be four people playing horse hanging tag, one person is the main family, three are the scattered family, three against one, just like a horse hanging one foot, so it is called horse hanging, "It means
If a horse loses one of its four legs, it cannot move, so the horse is called "fallen" ("Yi Ye Pu").
