Chapter 471: Yingtians wine and the nine-sided sword
No matter what the prison students think,
Today, the Imperial College at the foot of Jilong Mountain was completely empty in the blink of an eye, leaving only fallen leaves on the ground, feebly floating down from the branches, and falling among the green bricks and tiles with a bit of loneliness.
Looking at the prison yard which was already empty as soon as I took a breath.
One of the Imperial Academy instructors, Xi, slapped his thigh fiercely: "Oops! It's over!"
As soon as this person spoke, the expressions of the teachers around him suddenly changed.
"These bastards have to disturb the court again!"
"Go to Yingtian Mansion and call for help!"
Before they had time, or who were willing to observe what was going on, all the tutors of the Imperial College ran away, chasing the students who had already disappeared without a trace and left the Imperial College.
Some chased the prison guards as they paraded through the streets, while others went to Shangyuan County and Yingtianfu Yamen to report the news.
Thousands of Imperial College students came out in full force, and the movement and impact they brought caused the entire Beicheng area to turn their attention.
People thought of the gathering of Imperial College students in front of the Xihua Gate many years ago.
That time, the imperial court severely punished the Imperial College officials and officials.
But this time everyone in the Imperial College rushed out, how would the imperial court react, and how furious it would be.
But very quickly, the people of Yingtian discovered that something seemed not right.
"The sun rises in the west today?"
Above the restaurant, a man who was already a little drunk was muttering: "These people are actually bragging for the great grandson?"
"Did I read that correctly?"
"Am I really reading that right?"
"This gang..."
"This gang..."
"Why do these cynical prison students look so flattering now..."
The onlookers all exclaimed in surprise.
But today's Imperial College not only surprised these people.
Bang.
In the back room of the back court of Yingtianfu Yamen, the prefect Zou Xueyu had an angry look on his face and pressed his palms on the table.
In front of him were several other subordinate officials of the prefect's Yamen.
As the highest local government office in charge of Yingtian, Yingtian government office has its own news channels and sources.
When the instructors of the Imperial College reacted, the news of the government office itself had already been sent back before they even rushed to Yingtian Mansion to report the news.
Zou Xueyu's face was rather ugly. He frowned and looked at the officer who was reporting back to the Yamen, and waved his hand: "Go down."
After the officer left, Zou Xueyu looked at the government officials present.
Tongzhi looked at the general magistrates and officials on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "In view of the previous situation, do you want soldiers and horses from all over the country to go over? The three squadrons of government officials have to go over, and the officers from the two counties also have to go over.
past."
"Why are the students of the Imperial College parading in the streets today? How does the Imperial College manage the students?"
Ying Tianfu General Magistrate asked in a deep voice.
There was another disturbance in the Imperial College today. The government always has to know the cause before it can put an end to the disturbance.
The Yamen attached to the capital are far less relaxed than the Yamen of the local government. The entire capital is under the eyes of the imperial court. If there is any trouble in the capital, the court will immediately know about it.
It is precisely because of this that the two counties in Gyeonggi Province used to do things faster than the local government.
If you are too slow and fall into the eyes of the court, you will be accused of dereliction of duty and neglect.
Ying Tianfu's official immediately said: "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Lord Fu, we'd better take the people over there first, and don't cause a collision with the imperial city."
Zou Xueyu looked solemn and sighed: "Come here, I will change my boots."
Just now, everyone in Yingtian Mansion was planning to go to Xuanwu Lake to inspect and review the construction of new ditches and docks. They were wearing boots that were easy to walk on muddy ground.
Now that things have happened at the Imperial College, it's natural that I can't go there.
The tranquility of Gyeonggi is the top priority.
When everyone in the Yingtian Mansion was panicking and angry, and the chief officials led the Yamen officers to rush to where the prison guards were parading in the street, there was a different situation in Wenyuan Pavilion.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
In the public rooms of the cabinet ministers, under the open window sill, a charcoal stove boiled water, and the water boiled three times.
He sat upright on a stool with a straight face and a calm face. After the water boiled, he poured it into the teapot beside him.
On the tea table were several kinds of pastries and preserves that were delivered every day by the palace ministers for the cabinet ministers to rest.
Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin and Xu Yungong were sitting on the other side of the tea table.
Gao Yangzhi made the tea very gently. After several rinses, three teacups filled with golden tea soup were pushed in front of Ren Hengtai and the others.
On the tea cup, the tea leaves are swaying upwards, carrying a few wisps of tea fragrance, and the room is elegant.
Ren Hengtai held the tea cup, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and then took a sip.
The tea soup is rolled up in the mouthpiece and flows between the lips and teeth.
The tea is astringent and sweet, from top to bottom, and then back again.
"The spring breeze makes tea, my skill is getting better and better every day, so I can have some elegant rest from time to time."
"The chief minister praises his kindness so much that the student's tea can only be kept in the cabinet and cannot be left."
Gao Yangzhi responded implicitly, stretched out his hand and leaned over, and poured another cup of tea for Shou Fu.
Xu Yungong stood aside and wanted to take a sip like Ren Hengtai, but as soon as the tea soup entered his mouth, he sucked it all into his stomach.
Dropped the tea cup.
Xu Yungong said: "The news has been spread to the army. His Highness Huagaidian's words will be issued by the Governor's Office in the near future. It will be the first one for the Ming army."
As Ren Hengtai sipped the tea soup, he also tasted the words of Xu Yungong and Gao Yangzhi in his heart.
There is no doubt that the Governor's Office is very happy about the four words in the Huagai Palace today. If the Ming Dynasty wants to always do that, it needs to always rely on the millions of Ming army officers and soldiers under the Governor's Office. And so,
The Metropolitan Governor's Office will also have greater weight and say in the court.
It's just that although the court has no intention at the moment, Ren Hengtai knows very well that in the Ming Dynasty, civil and military officials are not divided into priorities. As the power of the Ministry of War is stripped away time and time again, in the future, the only way for civilian officials to intervene in military affairs is to supervise military discipline and recruit soldiers.
It’s time to recruit new soldiers, build local troops, and so on.
For no reason, Ren Hengtai, the chief civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, thought of Jin Yiwei.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I thought of this yamen that was least liked by civil servants in the past.
Perhaps, Jin Yiwei should also be allowed to perform the duties of supervision over the Governor's Mansion.
Mr. Shoufeng was thinking deeply, but his eyes turned to Gao Chunfeng who continued to make tea.
Although the current cabinet has not made it clear.
But as the chief minister, in addition to being in charge of the general cabinet affairs, he was also in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment. Xie Jin was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Work.
The power of the Ministry of War is now weakened, and because Gao Yangzhi is younger, he has just taken charge of it to facilitate contact with the Governor's Office.
It's just that the Duke of Wei, Xu Yungong, is in the cabinet, and Gao Yangzhi is in charge of all affairs in the Ministry of War, which is not necessary.
This spring breeze wants to do something.
The matter of Jin Yiwei cannot be discussed, but the matter of Spring Breeze can be discussed.
Ren Hengtai opened his mouth and said: "Recently, the King of Qin has supervised the affairs of the capital and inspected the local area, and has cleared out a lot of bugs in the country. I am very tired now, and I am not very busy in supervising various projects. Now, I have to go to Sanfasi more often.
, keep an eye on this group of people and help His Highness King Qin to handle the matter of Beijing inspection assigned by His Majesty."
This is to allocate the powers of the Three Law Departments of the Ming Dynasty to Gao Yangzhi.
After three brews, Gao Yangzhi, who was changing into new tea, paused for a moment, and then smiled softly: "I am young and weak, and it is time to do some errands. If I make any mistakes, please let me know.
Make it right."
Ren Hengtai waved his hand calmly and looked sideways at Xie Jin: "A famous teacher and a great disciple, the great gentleman is a lucky one."
Xie Jin nodded, with a slight smile on his lips: "The country is stable, and the emperor is wise, so that talented people can gather here. Today, the Imperial College has changed its past, paraded around to praise its achievements, and become famous to the emperor, which can also show my heart as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty.
, Be sincere and loyal to the emperor. Let the cabinet plan, be upright, and think carefully. The country and society we hope for will be led by the cabinet."
Ren Hengtai smiled slightly, the world is changing every moment, and Wenyuan Pavilion is also changing, but what remains unchanged is the human heart.
"Three cups are enough. If you don't want to drink any more." Ren Hengtai spoke slowly, stopping Gao Yangzhi who looked confused after being dissuaded from continuing to pour tea.
Under the gaze of the three people, Ren Hengtai walked lightly to the rows of bookshelves.
Bypassing the desk shelves in the front row, Ren Hengtai went to the second row and took out a bundle of books wrapped in bookcases from the piles of books and desks.
Under the puzzled looks of the three people, Ren Hengtai returned the book, untied the cloth strips on the book cover, and opened the book cover.
"I really didn't expect that Ren Ge would be so elegant."
Xie Jin chuckled softly and looked at the empty small space under the book case. There was no book in it, but a wine bottle with a tight seal.
Gao Yangzhi raised his eyebrows. This was not something Ren Hengtai, the first assistant, would do on a daily basis.
The chief minister actually hid wine in the cabinet.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yangzhi had already started taking out four new cups and rinsing them.
Ren Hengtai took the cup, lifted the lid, and the clear slightly yellow wine fell down, creating circles of wine bubbles in the cup.
"It's not a famous wine, but I got it by chance at an old wine shop outside the city in my spare time. After drinking it for a long time, I got used to it."
Ren Hengtai filled the cup with wine and slowly raised it: "Everyone, drink up!"
"Drink full!"
The wine was sloshing around, and the aroma of wine filled the area for a while.
Xu Yungong drank heavily, opened his mouth to spit out the smell of wine, and patted the tea table with his hand: "The aroma of wine is long, honest and honest, good wine!"
Ren Hengtai drank a glass of wine and looked at Ren Hengtai with a rosy face: "If the Duke of Wei leads an army in the future, I would like to use this wine to support the Duke's journey. When the Duke returns home in triumph, I will also use this wine to reward him!"
"good!"
Xu Yungong's eyes shone. The matter of Chang Sheng and Li Jinglong becoming kings had already been discussed in the court, but everyone knew that this was a matter of process.
Only when the news reaches the Eastern Expedition and Southern Expedition armies, the Founding Duke and Cao Guogong submit their resignations, and the imperial court seals the throne again, can the matter be considered completed.
And as the eldest son of King Wuning of Zhongshan and the current head of the Zhongshan Palace, how could he not look forward to that prince.
"Drink again!"
Ren Hengtai, the first assistant, was also very proud and took advantage of the incident to make the three of them drink again.
…
There are no cattle or sheep in the wind-swept grassland. The grass slope is leeward and on the edge of the sparse evergreen coniferous forest. Two soldiers wearing Ming army uniforms, long knives and fire guns lie down on the slope, looking at the endless desert grassland in the distance.
.
"Wow! This wine is getting worse and worse!"
Tang Keke frowned and handed a small copper pot to Zhang Zhiyuan's eyes with a look of disgust on his face.
Tang Keke, who had joined the army for many years, had gradually lost the temperament of a Confucian scholar. Now that he had been out of isolation with the army for several months, he had grown a full beard, and the skin on his body had been deepened several degrees by the sun.
It looks as if it has been a military household for many years.
Zhang Zhiyuan took the copper pot that exuded a strong smell of wine. He didn't drink like Tang Keke did. He just took a small sip of wine in his mouth and let the rich wine slide down the esophagus into the abdominal cavity bit by bit. Feeling
It warms up the internal organs little by little.
After all the wine in his mouth was gone, Zhang Zhiyuan let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and looked at Tang Keke who was rolling his eyes: "The purpose of Taiyuan Hospital is to prevent people like you, the disinfectant wine in the general
I drank it all, so it became harder and harder to drink.”
Tang Keke curled his lips: "I used to think that burning knives was enjoyable, but since I drank this, aren't burning knives just for gargling?"
Zhang Zhiyuan still shook his head and looked back at the less dense forest behind him: "Give me the order to attack the Tatars at night. Now each person can drink three sips of wine to ward off the cold."
Tang Keke's face immediately became serious, he nodded, pressed the saber on his waist, and carefully touched the forest behind.
After a while, there were several sounds from the forest that sounded like mountain birds returning to the forest.
After a while, Tang Keke had already returned with several military commanders.
"The Tatars have become increasingly difficult to kill. The Tatar tribe in front is already the last group we can deal with alone now."
As Zhang Zhiyuan spoke, he took out the saber from his waist and took out a piece of dried dried meat from his arms.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The blade of the knife is very bright, and the bloodthirsty blade has been wiped clean.
Zhang Zhiyuan cut the dried meat with a knife into several pieces and distributed them to Tang Keke and others.
No one dislikes it either.
The sword in the hands of Jiubian soldiers is another life. Besides going into battle to kill the enemy, it can also do more things.
Cutting meat to fill your stomach is just the most common thing.
After dividing the meat, Zhang Zhiyuan took a bite, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
There is still a lot of time before the entire army mounts a charge. After facing the Ming army's annual conquests, especially after Zhang Zhiyuan joined the Peking Dusi and used Tatar heads to create a living name for himself as a little murderer, the Tatars on the grassland
The Tatar people had already begun to speed up their annexation, and small tribes gathered together to jointly resist the Ming army's conquest.
Tang Keke took out his knife, put the piece of meat Zhang Zhiyuan gave him on the scabbard, and then carefully cut it into thin slices little by little.
"Sha Cong, do you want it?"
After cutting the meat, Tang Keke took out a few small green onions from his arms and handed them to everyone.
I continued to pick two pieces and cut them on the handle of the knife. Then I rolled the meat slices with scallions and put them into my mouth. My eyes were slightly fascinated and I chewed them with great enjoyment.
Time passes bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye on the seemingly endless desert grassland.
The bright, cloudless starry sky seems to be right in front of people's eyes.
The wolves roared in the dark night.
At night, everything is silent, but another group of animals begins the most important activity in life.
clatter.
The sound of horse hooves sounded on the meadow.
Zhang Zhiyuan, who had already mounted his horse and put down his visor, silently pulled out the long knife from his waist and looked through his visor at the endless and silent Tatar tribe in the distance.
