Chapter 25 Excited Wang Shouren
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that his father would find him a job, but Zhu Houzhao didn't expect his father to give him any good work. He thought about it and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Ma Wensheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, wants to inspect the Beijing camp. I have agreed to let Ma Wensheng, together with the British Duke Zhang Mao and Chen Kuan, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, inspect the Beijing camp to review the riding and shooting tactics of each camp.
And the art of riding and shooting for the general officer. Since you like martial arts, then go with me. After all, it is a small way for you to compete with others in the market. If you want to learn, you must also learn to fight against ten thousand people."
Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao and said with a smile.
Zhu Houzhao can naturally feel his father's love and care for him, but when Zhu Houzhao finds someone to fight, he does not really want to learn how to fight against one person, but to increase his actual combat experience. This is very important, otherwise no matter how long you practice, it will be just a show.
There was no way to explain this to his father, but the job his father arranged for him was quite good. After a little thought, Zhu Houzhao agreed.
"Of course it would be good for me to go with you, but my father, I would like to select a few people to build a crown prince's guard." Zhu Houzhao made a request directly to his father.
Zhu Youtang looked at his son and said with a smile: "How many people do you want?"
"Let's choose one thousand households first, but I don't know how many will be left in the end!" Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said, "I have an idea that I want to try, but I don't know if it can work yet."
The crown prince in the Ming Dynasty did not have a separate army. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, the prince had a prince's bodyguard. This also led to the relative weakness of the princes in the Ming Dynasty. However, what Zhu Houzhao wanted was not the prince's bodyguard. That thing was useless.
It was of no use. Zhu Houzhao wanted to create a special operations team of this era, but he didn't know if it would work. It was just an experiment.
Xiyuan is under construction. The place will be big enough when the time comes. Practice first, who knows if you will need it in the future. There are no masters around, so Zhu Houzhao feels insecure.
The number of people in a thousand households is only 1,120 soldiers, which is nothing compared to the army in the Beijing camp. Zhu Youtang naturally would not refuse his son's request and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give you a thousand households."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and the father and son left Deyilou together after lunch. In the afternoon, Zhu Houzhao was not looking for anyone to compete in martial arts. Instead, he accompanied Zhu Youtang and walked around the capital. Looking at the prosperity of the capital, at the same time
Also look at the lives of the people and accept a little fireworks. Zhu Houzhao also helped catch a thief and kicked the thief away with one kick.
When the sun was about to set, the father and son returned to the palace. Zhu Houzhao also bought a bunch of things, all for Queen Zhang.
The father and son went out to play. If he didn't bring some gifts to his mother, Zhu Houzhao felt that life would be difficult, so he returned to Kunning Palace for dinner, and then Zhu Houzhao returned to Xianyang Palace.
At night, it is as quiet as water.
Wang family.
Living in the capital is not easy. This statement is true in any dynasty. It is the same for officials in the capital. Many low-level officials have a difficult life. However, Wang Shouren's life is not bad. He can live at home and has a lot of money.
A good father is very important. As the emperor's daily official and the Youyu De of Youchunfang in James Mansion, Wang Hua's treatment is naturally hard to say.
Although it is not luxurious, there is still a spacious residence, which is not easy for officials in the capital.
Returning home with a sullen face, Wang Hua glanced at his son who was studying and sighed in his heart, his son was good at everything, but he was too stubborn.
Seeing Wang Hua come in, Wang Shouren stood up quickly: "Father is back?"
"Yes!" Wang Hua agreed, nodded slightly, took off his hat and boots under the service of the servant, changed his clothes, and then said to Wang Shouren: "Did you receive a memorial?"
Are you talking about things in the northwest?"
Hearing what his father said, even though Wang Shouren was unusually steady, he couldn't help but get a little excited: "But is there news?"
Looking at his son's hopeful eyes, Wang Hua sighed softly in his heart, but still said with a normal expression: "I know you want to go to the Ministry of War, or to go to the northwest, but you are seeking an official position, and you will not be in good standing.
Officials will not let you do this. Once this example is established, everyone is like this. What should ministers in the court do? Should everyone go wherever they want?"
As he talked, Wang Hua became a little angry: "In this case, where will the ministers in the court be placed?"
Wang Shouren didn't react at all, and just said calmly: "The imperial court naturally selects officials based on their merit. They should do whatever is suitable for them, rather than whatever the imperial court wants to do. I have been studying military science since I was a child.
, who is proficient in military and war books, why can’t he go to the Ministry of War or be sent to the northwest? This case cannot be opened, because I am afraid that if the minister of the DPRK and Central Government is opened, he will not be able to control the officials? "
Wang Hua was choked by his son, because he knew that what his son said was right, but the reality was not like that. How could the people in the court choose to act according to your ideas?
"Nonsense!" Wang Hua couldn't help but scolded loudly: "You should never say such things again, otherwise you won't have to be an official anymore and go back to your hometown to study and farm!"
Wang Shouren didn't take it seriously after being scolded by his father. He brought a cup of tea to his father, and then asked: "It seems that my wish has failed, otherwise my father would not be so angry. I didn't know that the minister of the court arranged for me to go."
What yamen, I'm quite curious about it."
"Originally, you were assigned to be the head of the Criminal Department to go to Jiangbei and other places to decide on prison terms!" Wang Hua looked at his son and said.
"Head of the Ministry of Punishment? Deciding on prison terms in Jiangbei and other places?" Wang Shouren smiled, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his laughter: "Head of the Ministry of Punishment, the matter of holding the names of punishments should be left to someone who is familiar with the law and understands it.
The person who decides the case, I have learned military skills, bows and horses, riding and shooting, and I know nothing about the punishment and names. Now, you actually let me be the head of the punishment department and take charge of the punishment and names. It is really the authority of the minister of the DPRK. What do you want to do?
Just do what you have to do.”
Wang Hua glanced at his son and said angrily: "I'm talking about the original situation. Now that your head of the Criminal Department is gone, your story has been taken notice of."
"Who?" Wang Shouren suddenly became excited. Could it be Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War? Now Ma Wensheng is definitely the top boss of the Ming Dynasty's military.
It’s not about Ma Wensheng’s title of Minister of War, but Ma Wensheng’s record. From the first year of Chenghua, Ma Wensheng began to work in the army. He participated in countless battles, big and small, and basically won them all. It can be said that Ma Wensheng was
