Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh work is not easy to do
After Hou Xun entered the court again, he was quite proud of his officialdom. In May of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Hou Xun was promoted to Minister of Household Affairs. However, just one month after he took office, the first assistant Zhou Yanru was excluded by Wen Tiren and resigned.
Resign from office.
However, although Wen Tiren was replaced as the first assistant, he did not dare to openly confront Donglin and find it difficult to resume society. Because of Hou Xun's prominent position in Donglin's party, and because he discovered two generals who were in great danger - Wu Shigong and
Zuo Liangyu, so Hou Xun had to be content in his position. Later, when Hou Xun was seriously injured in an explosion while inspecting the gunpowder magazine, the imperial court preserved his position and allowed him to rest in peace in the capital.
During this period, Hou Fangyu had become a scholar and got married. He also went to Beijing to serve his father when he was sixteen years old. Wu Shigong also knew about these things, but he only sent people to give him generous gifts because he went out to fight.
But why did Hou Fangyu return to his hometown to join this commercial gold-plating group this time? If he wanted to make a profit in business, with the relationship between the Hou family and Wu Shigong, Mr. Hou only had to write a letter to Wu Shigong. And Hou Fangyu wanted to go to the examination room to make merit
Yes, then why is it necessary for him to go to Runing to gain some military merit? So Wu Shigong was puzzled.
Seeing Wu Shigong looking at him, Zhao Ming spread his hands and shrugged. His attitude was very clear: Then if Hou Fangyu wants to come to Runing, there is nothing he can do to stop him?
Wu Shigong didn't know that the Hou Mansion's training for Hou Fangyu had actually started long ago.
In the second year after Hou Fangyu arrived in the capital, he drafted a report on farming on behalf of his father, including official villages, military villages, military villages, civilian villages, merchant villages, belly villages, border villages, cultivation, examinations, and trust.
, a lot of words, fluent and concise, hopefully feasible.
Although Hou Fangyu's memorial was definitely completed under the guidance of Hou Xun, and drew on many of Wu Shigong's farming methods. Moreover, due to the complex and changeable situation in the late Ming Dynasty, many of the articles in the memorial were inevitably a bit of paper talk. But after all, Hou Fangyu
It is a remarkable thing for a seventeen-year-old boy to be able to draft such a large text.
This time Hou Fangyu went to the Runing Army after returning home. The purpose of the Hou Mansion was to let Hou Fangyu become familiar with military affairs, make friends with generals such as Wu Shigong and Zuo Liangyu, and build up Hou Fangyu's reputation in the court.
Then the Hou Mansion will arrange for Hou Fangyu to go to Jinling to once again establish his reputation as a talented person among the scholars in the world.
It can be seen from this that the Hou Mansion is cultivating Hou Fangyu as a future political leader. Of course, what we know now is the poignant and euphemistic love story between Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun in Jinling in "The Peach Blossom Fan".
In the original history, Hou Fangyu did not return to his hometown until the eleventh year of Chongzhen to prepare for the provincial examination and go to Jinling. Because of the variable Wu Shigong, he returned to his hometown early, and history quietly changed here.
Because he wanted to find out the bottom, Wu Shigong called Zhao Ming to the back hall alone at this time. He left all the other officials and gentry sons in the front hall. But as soon as he heard Hou Fangyu's arrival, he immediately ordered: "Come here!
Young Master, please come in!"
But before the servant could agree, Wu Shigong stood up and said, "I'd better welcome the young master in person!"
When Wu Shigong and Zhao Ming came to the front hall, they heard a handsome young man with sword-shaped eyebrows speaking impassionedly: "The country's worries are when we rise up; it is time for us to start a thousand-mile journey. Today is a good opportunity to destroy the thieves.
It is our good fortune to wait for the world to be at peace. It is also our ambition to carry forward Lingyan and Yuntai..."
That young man was of course Hou Fangyu. It was obvious that he was very motivating and eloquent, which made a group of passionate young people excited and excited.
What a group of noble people. A group of pure people, a group of moral people, a group of people who have escaped from vulgar taste, a group of people who are beneficial to the people!
Wu Shigong couldn't help but feel excited. He clapped his hands loudly and excitedly, thinking to himself: "Little ancestors! Can you please stop fooling around?"
Seeing Wu Shigong coming in with a smile on his face and applauding, Hou Fangyu immediately stopped his speech and saluted Wu Shigong: "Brother, we can't hold it any longer! We are going to carry Qingfeng and kill all the bandits and leave."
At this point, those old and cunning officials and gentry of Guide Mansion also went astray. They originally wanted their children to be gilded, but those are all hot-blooded young people! It is not a big deal to have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and make meritorious deeds.
Romantic heroism, so they were eager to go to the battlefield.
Wu Shigong was so anxious that he immediately raised his arms and shouted: "This is the time for a man to go down in history. You are all the sun in the morning, and the future is yours!" Anyway, who can't shout slogans? Let's fool these enthusiastic young people first.
Say it again.
Wu Shigong's slogan immediately received a burst of deafening cheers. Re Qing is so easy to deceive! Strike while the iron is hot, Wu Shigong continued: "But before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first! Commander Zhao is also a veteran on the battlefield and has rich experience. You can come to our Ru
The Ning army will get everything they need here, and when they are fully prepared, they can set out to exterminate the Shaanxi bandits."
Wu Shigong lifted the ball to Zhao Ming with a big kick. Anyway, I’ll leave it to Zhao Ming to fool those enthusiastic youths!
But how could Zhao Ming not understand Wu Shigong's intention? He immediately said with a smile: "Vice General Wu is also a rising star. When he leads the army and leads you to battle, you will definitely see his galloping grace!"
Zhao Ming's intention was also very clear. Anyway, he tied Wu Shigong like a grasshopper on a rope so that no one could escape.
Wu Shigong avoided everyone's gaze and rolled his eyes at Zhao Ming. Then he turned back and returned to his normal expression, and said to Hou Fangyu and the others: "I am very happy to see all the talented people today, and I am also extremely happy. I will wash my hands of you all tonight."
.I hope you will stop being restrained and write more witty sentences. When the book is published, it will be a good story."
The enthusiastic youths immediately cheered, as this was their favorite entertainment activity. So Wu Shigong immediately asked the housekeeper Liu Yuan to arrange a banquet for the singing girls, and invited Deng Qifan to come and accompany them to entertain these enthusiastic youths in the evening.
When Wu Shigong left, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's not easy for this young man to do his job!"
Because his literary talent was poor, Wu Shigong did not want to attend the literary banquet in the evening. However, because of the sincere invitation of those enthusiastic young people, and because he had to give face to Hou Fangyu, Wu Shigong also attended the literary party in the end.
This banquet was quite successful, and the scene was quite lively. Those enthusiastic young people who were tightly controlled by their elders at home were finally able to be entertained by fine wines and beauties in Runing, and they immediately started to live wildly.
Under the enthusiastic support of the enthusiastic youths, Wu Shigong also composed two impromptu poems, which also received a lot of applause. It was not that the enthusiastic youths were flattering. In their view, Wu Shigong, a military attaché, could compose such rhyming limericks.
That's pretty good.
After the banquet, Wu Shigong returned to the inner house happily, but was surprised to find that his wives were not asleep. They were discussing something together, and from time to time they burst into laughter like silver bells.
Wu Shigong became curious, so he secretly hid at the door and eavesdropped.
"I didn't expect our husband could write poetry?" Zhao Ruya's words caused another burst of laughter.
Unexpectedly, the news of his poetry writing reached the inner house so quickly? Wu Shigong suddenly felt a little carried away. He no longer hid, pushed the door open and said with a proud face: "How is it? Are your husband's poems good?
"
"It's not bad!" Qiong Niang said in a low voice, "At least the words in the poem are enough."
Although Qiong Niang's voice was very small, it was enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly, so her words caused another burst of laughter. Wu Shigong suddenly became angry. He did not expect that the more considerate Qiong Niang would laugh at him, so he immediately did
A hungry tiger pounced on her and wanted to catch Qiong Niang and ravage her. Qiong Niang was so frightened that she hid behind Mei Yun and kept laughing.
"Actually, the young master's poems are quite good!" Xiuzhu said seriously.
Wu Shigong's eyes suddenly filled with tears. His little cotton-padded jacket was still caring about him! Although Wu Shigong knew that his two poems were not very good, he still hoped that others would praise him for the poems he had finally suppressed.
Wu Shigong immediately wanted to give Xiuzhu a warm hug, but Xiuzhu continued: "It's much better than the poems the young master wrote when he was studying."
There was a moment of silence in the room, and then laughter broke out. Several ladies rubbed their bellies and burst into tears.
Wu Shigong suddenly became angry. This time he would not let Xiuzhu escape again, so he grabbed her into his arms. It seemed that the husband was in trouble, and the ladies were about to climb on him.
.
So Wu Shigong said viciously to Xiuzhu: "Then the young master will write two poems on you tonight!"
Xiuzhu's face immediately pretended to be frightened, and she said to Wu Shigong with a trembling voice: "Then come on!" After saying that, Xiuzhu couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed "giggling".
stop.
When he went to the bamboo embroidery house, Wu Shigong sighed again: "It's not easy for women to do this job!"
In November, Gao Yingxiang, Ma Shouying and other peasant armies retreated to the border of Henan, hovering there, constantly looking for opportunities to enter Henan again. Zuo Liangyu and other Ming armies were also on standby to prevent the peasant army from finding an opening.
After three disastrous defeats, Zhang Xianzhong's troops headed south and entered Nanyang Prefecture. Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong might pass through Nanyang and then enter Huguang, Lu Xiangsheng also led the Tianxiong Army to rush to Huguang.
After entering Nanyang, Zhang Xianzhong first sent a partial force to Nanyang Fucheng and feinted a shot, pretending to attack Nanyang Fucheng, and frightened the Nanyang prefect and Sun Wei, who were guarding Nanyang Fucheng, half to death. So he asked for help.
The letter is a letter sent everywhere.
But in Nanyang City, there was one person who was very happy, and that was the then Tang King Zhu Yujian. The Tang King Zhu Yujian was simply a weirdo among the vassal kings. He did not wait to die like other vassal kings. When he saw the peasant armies from all over the world,
Wreaking havoc, he actually wanted to lead his troops to restore the glory of his ancestors. And this war started from Tang Wang Zhu Yujian! (To be continued...)
