Yunzheng's establishment of the Academy of Sciences required a lot of preliminary preparations. At least he had to wait until Dongfang Wuqing and Li Mo, the two vice-presidents who had been appointed by default, arrived in Yanjing to have a foundation. Therefore, Yunzheng was not in a hurry and just made preparations.
Some of the pre-prepared things were ordered one by one and left to the people below to do it.
According to the wishes of his father Yun Lan, the establishment of the Academy of Sciences must be shrouded in the halo of the establishment of the Academy of Liberal Arts, so the location selection of the Academy of Arts and Sciences must also be carried out at the same time. However, considering that in the future, most people in the Academy of Arts will look down upon it.
Those who attend the Academy of Sciences, so Yunzheng decided to locate the Academy of Arts in the new district in the west of the city, while the Academy of Sciences was located in the east of the city - which is slightly closer to where he lives.
The land for the two new sites was purchased by the Shuai Mansion. Because it was a newly expanded urban area, there was no such thing as forced demolition to worry about. Originally, the two pieces of land were in the suburbs outside the city, and there were some rare individual properties.
The residents have long been relocated to newly opened fields slightly further away by the Yun family, and one acre of land is exchanged for three acres of land. In this world where land is paramount, no one is willing to do this.
After the new address was selected, Yun Zheng originally planned to follow the progress of the project in person, but Yun Lan gave him a new task, which forced him to leave Yanjing temporarily.
What Yun Lan means is that since he will go south to Luoyang and take up the post of Taiwei, Yun Zheng will naturally be the one who stays in Yanjing to take over the command on his behalf. Although Yun Zheng is about to take office as the governor of Hebei, the governor is a civil servant in the Wei Dynasty.
, especially in border towns, they do not care about military affairs. However, it is obvious that Yun Zheng cannot ignore military affairs, so he asked Yun Zheng to "inspect the three passes" in the name of the prince of Yun State.
The so-called three passes of the Yun family refer to the periphery of Yanjing facing the northeast, with Jizhou, Tanzhou, and Ruzhou as a fan-shaped defense circle. These three states are called the three passes.
But what was unexpected was that the imperial court acted very quickly this time. Yun Lan's proposal was quickly approved. As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the appointment and dismissal documents of the staff were sent to Yanjing as if they were urgent. While Yun Zheng was in shock, Yun Zheng was not worried.
Zhang Futai took over the post of governor of Hebei in a grand ceremony. When he took over, Zhang Futai was very emotional and said meaningfully: I wonder if I can break through the thorns and open up a great road with the sharp edge of the young marshal's sword?
Yunzheng smiled slightly: "You can take a look."
----------------------------------------On the fifth day of August, as the governor of Hebei,
Yun Zheng, the crown prince of Yun State, who holds the three positions of Commander of the Yingyang Guards and Commander of the Yanyun Guards (Execution: Temporary), officially arrived at the first stop of the Three Passes: Jizhou's accompanying escort included: a second guard of the Yanyun Guards
The thousand-man team serves as the front army's clearing the way; the Yingyang Guard's first guard, a thousand-man team, serves as the back of the rear army; Yunzheng's personal white-clothed guards are responsible for guarding the entire Chinese army of more than 2,500 people on a grand patrol
The Yun family has a handsome manor camp in the main city of each border town. The handsome manor camp in Jizhou is to the north of the Gongzhen gate of Jizhou city. Yunzheng entered the city through the Gongzhen gate. From a distance, he saw officials of all sizes lining up outside the Gongzhen gate.
To welcome him, he ordered Yun Weili, the captain of the white-clothed guards, to lead the others into the city. He jumped off his horse and greeted his staff to greet the remaining commanders, supervisors, deputy generals, guerrillas and others of each guard station. They came up one by one to see him. Yunzheng asked Momo their names one by one.
Keeping it in mind, I asked about a tall man about the same height as him with very fierce and sharp eyes. I couldn't help but look at him a few more times. The man noticed that Yun Zheng was paying attention to him and hurriedly lowered his head.
Yun Zheng became suspicious and secretly kept this man's name in his mind. After he left, he called Xu Yun, the governor of Jizhou City, to command the envoy and asked: "Is Chu Qinfeng the commander of thousands of your subordinates?"
Xu Yunlai nodded and said, "Yes!" Yun Zheng asked him again about his family background and official promotions, but Xu Yunlai hesitated and couldn't answer. The supervisor ordered Hu Cheng to step forward to relieve him, saying: "The fifteenth year of Chu Qin Feng Year"
When he joined the army, he claimed that there was a plague in his hometown and all the Manchus died. He was the only one left who fought bravely and loyally. He is a rare good general." Then he continued to say good things for Chu Qinfeng, but Yun Zheng was confused.
It is becoming more and more important to know that the four major border towns of the Wei Dynasty have extremely strict control over the local areas within their jurisdiction. How can there be a reason to be promoted to the rank of captain without knowing where the village is? Yunzheng secretly concluded that this Chu Qinfeng must have
There is a secret
In addition to inspecting the three passes, Yunzheng also took office as the new governor of Hebei. The local subordinates were required to report to Chen Zhengshi and host a banquet. For this reason, Yunzheng had been delayed for a day. He was about to skip the reception banquet and asked all the officials to entertain him.
Just report on the local customs, political achievements, and military affairs, big and small, one by one.
After finishing all official duties on this day, it was already the day when Xuhai came to an end. Yun Zheng saw off the last of his staff. He stretched himself long and prepared to wash up and go to bed. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly heard a sound outside the window. Yun Zheng's heart moved, and he felt secretly angry. I said,
I have a great reputation as a martial artist and am eyeing the northern frontier, but there are still people who dare to touch my door. I am really brave! I woke up, gently raised my sword, walked to the window, and suddenly flew into the air.
Kicked through the window
But when he heard a cry of pain outside the window, followed by a burst of footsteps, a black figure fled hastily. Yun Zheng pressed on the broken window lattice with one hand, jumped out, and chased after him with his sword. The guard at the door heard the sound and followed closely.
Yun Zheng's heart moved as he was chasing after him, and he suddenly slowed down. He couldn't pursue him very far before he lost track of the black figure. The soldiers searched everywhere, but there was no trace. The guard commander who was patrolling at night saw his young man.
The handsome man was walking around in the street with his sword in hand. He immediately came over to ask what was going on. Yun Zheng shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he called the generals at all levels to gather the soldiers of his headquarters and wait for the review in the school yard.
The sentry commander was a member of the Zhending Guards in Jizhou City. He didn't know much about Yun Zheng's temper, so he hesitated slightly and said, "At this time?"
When Yunzheng heard this, he said angrily: "If the enemy attacks, why should we give you day and night? Go quickly, or you will be fired from your post!"
Seeing that the young commander was angry, the sentry commander was so frightened that he ran to the city to tell the Yanyun Guard that the soldiers were well-trained, but they lined up in half a stick of incense, while the soldiers of the Zhen Ding Guard were sparse and did not arrive for a long time.
, not to mention the many soldiers with their clothes and socks in disarray, a few of them still had red rouge marks on their cheeks.
Yun Zheng's original intention was just to catch the spy, but he accidentally discovered how bad the discipline of the Zhen Ding Guards was. He couldn't help but be furious. The Zhen Ding Guards and Yan Yun Guards were guarding the same city, and the gap was so huge! He
Suppressing his anger, he asked all the generals from centurions and above to count the number of people in their headquarters and report the names of those who had not arrived. Then he ordered Xue Qian, the commander of the first Zhending Guard who stayed behind, to take the book and sing the names one by one.
This song didn't matter, and he suddenly discovered that there were three or four tenths of the vacancies. Yunzheng looked at Xue Qian angrily, and sneered: "Have these soldiers turned into ghosts in Chengdu?"
Xue Qian fell softly to the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly. Yun Zheng knew that this was the so-called pretense. There was a soldier's name on the book, but in fact there was no such person, or he had died in battle for a long time, or even fled his country and disappeared.
The chief officer did not report anything, but still received the soldier's food and salary and stuffed it into his own pocket, just like the dead souls in Gogol's works.
He ignored Xue Qian for the time being and threw him aside. He looked carefully at the sergeants one by one to see if there were any injuries on their faces. When he kicked the window open, he heard a scream. After careful inspection, he saw that there were more wounds on the broken window paper. There were bloodstains everywhere. It was obvious that the people outside the window were kicked in the head and face by me before they escaped. At the end, no one had any injuries on their faces.
Yunzheng thought for a moment and asked Xu Yunlai: "Are there any generals at all levels who have not yet arrived? Go and check quickly." His question was reasonable, because the list of sergeants did not include generals. Xu Yunlai took the order. , checked and reported back: "The captain Chu Qinfeng has not yet arrived due to illness."
Yunzheng sneered and said: "You are still fine during the day. What's wrong with you? Go and call me quickly." Xu Yunlai hesitated and said: "This..."
Yun Zheng said angrily: "What about this? Don't you need me, the young marshal, to greet him in person?"
Xu Yunlai was startled, and quickly bowed his head and said: "Yes, yes" he turned to a centurion and said angrily: "Take two people to tell Chu Qinfeng that even if he is sick to death, he must be carried there before he dies. Not too late!"
Yun Zheng sneered and said nothing. Not long after, Chu Qinfeng followed the centurion, knelt on the ground, and said that he was guilty of death.
Yunzheng asked him to raise his head, and when he took a closer look, he saw a black band on his forehead and then said, "Take the cloth off your forehead."
Chu Qinfeng bowed his head and said: "The little man has a headache. Once he goes to this area, the pain will be unbearable."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Have a headache? This young marshal has a panacea for treating headaches. Do you want to give it a try?" His hand stretched out as fast as lightning, and before he could react, he had already pulled off the cloth belt. Chu Qinfeng hurriedly covered his forehead. Yun Zheng shouted loudly, and he was so frightened that he couldn't move. Yun Zheng looked closely and saw that there was a scar as big as a copper coin on Chu Qinfeng's forehead, and he was bleeding uncontrollably.
Yun Zheng smiled coldly and said: "What a severe headache! How dare you get it under my window?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Chu Qinfeng raised his head and closed his eyes in silence.
When Yun Zheng saw it, his heart moved, his tone softened, and he said in a pleasant tone: "Who instructed you to steal something from my room, tell them one by one, and I will save you from death."
Chu Qinfeng opened his eyes and looked at him, shook his head, and Yun Zheng said solemnly: "Since you want to die for that man, it's up to you to do it." He ordered the sergeant to escort him down, and Rong Ming tomorrow in front of the three armies, Order to behead
Chu Qinfeng said nothing, as if he was waiting for something. It was not until the sergeant pushed him to leave the school that he suddenly realized and shouted: "You are wronged, you are wronged for your humble position!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and asked the soldiers below to take him back and asked, "Are you willing to say it now?"
Chu Qinfeng swallowed his saliva and said reluctantly: "It's Mr. Xue. He wants to despise his position and steal the books of the Zhending Guards and burn them." Xue Qian was so frightened that he was paralyzed and couldn't say a word.
Yun Zheng sneered and said, "That's right." Suddenly, he changed his subject, his expression dropped, and he asked, "Why does he ask you to sacrifice your life for him?"
Chu Qinfeng's face was ashen, and he seemed to have a huge unspeakable secret that he could not tell. Yun Zheng said coldly: "If he hadn't forced you, then you would have been an accomplice! -"
Chu Qinfeng blurted out: "General Xue is threatening his humble position!" When he said this, he already knew that the secret could not be kept. He took a deep breath and continued: "Master Xue said that if you don't follow his instructions, you will be punished." Tell the Lord about my humble position that killed Shangguan in my early years."
When he said these words, the generals didn't seem to be very surprised. Xu Yunlai, the governor of Jizhou City, looked at them one by one. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "That's all?"
Chu Qinfeng raised his head in shock
Yun Zheng said sternly: "Young Marshal Ben is too lazy to ask whether he should kill an official or not. As long as he serves the country bravely and loyally defends the country, I, Yun Chengfeng, will take him as a close friend. It doesn't matter whether I killed an official or anyone else." , as long as it doesn’t violate the four words of loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety, it doesn’t matter.”
As soon as these words came out, many officers and soldiers cheered in unison, and the cheers were earth-shattering. It seemed that everyone already knew about Chu Qinfeng, and he was the only one who was new and kept in the dark. It was just someone named Chu. He is a mere captain, but it is really surprising that he is so popular.
Yunzheng comforted Chu Qinfeng with a few words, then turned around to deal with Xue Qian. Xue Qian knew that he would not be spared, so he begged: "I am the queen of Shun Donghou, please be kind to me!"
Yunzheng didn't know that there was such a marquis at all, so he asked doubtfully: "Shundonghou?" Xu Yunlai, who was left behind in Jizhou, whispered: "Shundonghou was a general of Conglong when Taizu Longxing, and also the old country. The prince's favorite general was named Xue Chongyi. After being granted the title of Marquis, he was given the single-character name Xue Yi. He died in Changsha during the Southern Expedition. He was granted the title of Marquis of Shundong. However, Chongyi's son died young and the title was also removed."
Yun Zheng looked at Xue Qian and said with a smile: "Did you hear that? Marquis Xue Yi has lost his queen. Who are you, the queen of Shuntong Marquis? I think your name is probably of unknown origin." He asked the soldiers to take him down. take into custody
Xue Qian seemed to be a very bad person at ordinary times. Zhen Dingwei was originally his soldier, but these soldiers saw him being escorted away in despair, and many of them started talking with smiles on their faces.
Yunzheng said loudly: "Silence, silence!" Yunzheng was so angry that he let out a roar, like a tiger's roar. The leaves nearby fell a lot, and all the soldiers' ears were numb from the shock, and they were immediately frightened. After calming down, Yun Zheng said decisively: "Xue Qian will be dismissed from his post immediately. You and other soldiers will recommend a commander. Each person will write a note about the suitable person in his heart and hand it to either the commander or the young marshal. You can do it. If you can’t write within three days, you can come and tell me in person!” Commanders are always appointed by the commander-in-chief, and even some second-line garrison commanders are hereditary, which has never been seen since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. As soon as Yun Zheng said this, which was recommended by the soldiers, the soldiers immediately started talking about it with great interest. Most of the officers looked worried. In fact, Yun Zheng originally planned to appoint a commander, but he wanted to I thought that not only did I have the Yingyang Guards at my disposal, but I had recently become the "Commander of the Yanyun Guards". If I interfered with the Zhending Guards again, I'm afraid my father-in-law would wonder if my hands were too long.
In the next three days, Yunzheng was almost annoyed to death. On one side were the soldiers who came to report to him one after another, and on the other side were the officers of the Zhending Guards who came to the door one after another to dissuade Yun Zheng from dismissing Xue Qian. At that time, he had already expected that things would turn out like this, and had already made plans in his mind. Anyone who advised him not to do so said that this move was just to stabilize the morale of the army, and to really appoint a commander, he still followed the old rules in the past. He got this answer. Most of them left with satisfaction, but a few who had doubts secretly communicated with each other, waiting for Yun Zheng to attack them, and then they all started to rise up. Although Yun Zheng was a dignified young commander, he did not become a commander after all, at least. In name, I can't control them too much.
After three days, Yunzheng counted the results, but the original supervisor Peng Xin was in the first place. After careful inspection, only three people recommended him, and two of them recommended Xu Yunlai. This is pure nonsense. Xu Yunlai can serve in Jizhou.
The city guard is because he is the commander of the ninth guard of Yanyun Guard. How can he also serve as the commander of the first guard of Zhending Guard? The last one is very interesting. This person is Chu Qinfeng, the person he recommended.
It turned out to be Chu Qinfeng
It is really interesting to choose yourself. Yun Zheng was very curious and wanted to call Chu Qinfeng to ask questions. After thinking about it, he felt bad, so he would patrol the military camp in person so that he could listen more.
After saying a few words of truth, he called a guard accompanying Yan Yun Guard and asked him to take off his clothes and change with him. Then he wiped two handfuls of kitchen ashes on his face and quietly slipped into the Zhending Guard's station.
He was wearing the uniform of the Yanyun Guards, so there were no obstacles along the way. He entered the camp smoothly and looked around. He saw seven or eight soldiers sitting around under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air. He immediately walked over.
He took out a pot of wine from his arms and said with a smile: "Brothers, drinking alone is boring, how about we all take a sip together?"
A veteran looked at the word "Yan" on his chest and said with a smile: "You Yanyun Guards are very disciplined, how dare you sneak out to drink?"
Yun Zheng curled his lips and said: "What the hell!" Everyone burst into laughter, and the wine pot had been passed around. Yun Zheng took the pot without drinking, and handed it to the next person, smiling: "I heard that Peng Xin
Supervisor Peng is going to be the new conductor? My brothers are in great luck now."
Everyone was drinking, but after hearing his words, they all frowned and remained silent. The veteran sighed and took the
