At half noon, many soldiers and horses gathered outside Anding Gate in the north of the city. Chang Yu did not go alone to inspect the nine sides. In addition to Shi Kefa, the Minister of the Ministry of War, there were also officials from the Sanfa Department, and even officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household. But not
First and second in command.
The number of people accompanying this trip was much larger than before. In addition to Chang Yu's own nearly 100 personal guards, there was also the Black Wolf Battalion of the Dongchang Guards. The other two battalions left the capital early in the morning for business.
In addition, he also brought several maids, including Lian Xin. The accompanying officials had no doubts about this. A big boss like Chang Yu had many maids, servants, and stewards on the trip, which was the most normal thing.
But only a few people know the real reason. The purpose of bringing Lian Xin and a few maids is to take care of Princess Kunxing. Of course, some people will wonder if Princess Kunxing can just take care of the palace maids.
Of course not. The palace maids have subtly developed a kind of etiquette that is completely different from that of outsiders. Their words and deeds can easily reveal their identity, or at least make people suspicious.
The identity of the brother and sister during this trip needs to be kept strictly confidential, but the personal attendants and guards around Chang Yu all know the two, but they can only pretend not to know. Even Lian Xin does not know that the person she is serving is Kun Xing of the Ming Dynasty.
Princess.
Like last time, Kun Xing needed a personal escort. She asked Song Luoyu to go with her, but Chang Yu refused and told Luo Yu to prepare for a wedding and have other arrangements.
Then...now Sujing stared at the handsome eunuch behind Chang Yu again and again. Princess Kunxing felt uncomfortable looking at her.
"Are you the princess in the palace?" Su Jing finally couldn't help but speak. Kun Xing raised his eyebrows: "Is there another princess outside the palace?"
The corner of Su Jing's mouth curled up: "It is indeed a golden branch, jade leaves, fine skin and tender meat."
Kun Xing was speechless and stopped talking to her. After a while, he secretly pulled Chang Yu who was talking to Shi Kefa: "That nun is so unruly."
"You want to behave yourself and go back to the palace?" Chang Yu tilted his head, glanced at Su Jing and smiled. After hearing this, Su Jing couldn't help but smile, and she was a little proud.
Princess Kunxing snorted angrily. Zhu Cixiang next to her smiled slightly and tugged her hand. However, Shi Kefa accidentally caught a glimpse of her, and then frowned and began to look at the eunuch. Why did he look so familiar?
He was ordered to inspect Jiubian, but Ming Dynasty now only has four towns in Jiubian. Chang Yu originally planned to go straight to Xuanfu Town to make drastic changes. He could also knock on the mountain to scare the tigers and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. However, he considered that he would have to attend a wedding in nine days, and the round trip would be too long.
It's so far away that I'm afraid I'll have to go back as soon as I arrive.
So he decided to start from Jizhou Town in the east. After checking Jizhou, he would come back to attend the wedding and then go west.
The jurisdiction of Jizhou Town starts from Shanhaiguan in the east, passes through Lulong, Qian'an, Zunhua, Jizhou, Pinggu, Shunyi, Changping, and ends at the border town of Juyongguan Town in the west, covering a total area of more than 2,000 miles. The protection of the capital is the top priority of the nine borders.
And the chief military officer in charge of Jizhou is Tang Tong, who was recently knighted as Dingxibo? He has a good relationship with Chang Yu. Not long ago, Chang Yu came back from outside the customs and went to Santun camp to visit him.
As for Shanhaiguan, Chang Yu did not plan to go there in person. He had already checked it when he went to borrow food and grass a few days ago. The problem of food and salary vacancies was not serious, and he almost scared Gao Di into falling ill that time.
This guy was scared to death.
Patrolling the border is not just for fun. The horses and horses rest for thirty miles, and there are all kinds of fun on the way. The soldiers may ride and shoot together, or hunt together, and sometimes sing military songs together.
It was so joyful that even the accompanying civil servants felt excited in their hearts when they heard it. When they learned that the lyrics and music were all written by the young eunuch, they felt even more ashamed, and their sense of superiority as a civil servant disappeared without a trace.
Are you kidding? Does being in the military still give you a sense of superiority?
Shi Kefa didn't have much feelings for Swordsman, but he admired the song "Men Should Be Self-Strengthening" and repeatedly suggested that it should be promoted throughout the army as the military song of the Ming Dynasty.
Chang Yu said that he was composing a new military song and was preparing to promote it throughout the army. A kind of civil servant was looking forward to it. He kept asking whether the lyrics or the music should be composed first. How many lyrics have been composed? Can you listen attentively to a few words?
…
Unable to refuse after several attempts, Chang Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say a few words, but he knew how to create a p. It was all plagiarism. After thinking about it, he recited Tu Honggang's "loyalty to the country"
The smoke rises and the country looks north
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword air is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Who can resist in twenty years?
Hateful and mad, the sword is directed towards
How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in another country?
Why would you die to serve your family and country?
I can't bear to sigh and feel even more speechless and my eyes are filled with blood and tears.
The horse's hoof goes south and people look north
People look north, the grass is green and yellow dust is flying
I am willing to defend the land and restore the borders
The great Ming Dynasty will bring congratulations from all over the world
The opening chapter was majestic, and in an instant a picture of an iron horse fighting on the battlefield came out of his mind. Shi Kefa couldn't help but shout "Hello". There was no one among the accompanying civil servants who was not a Jinshi, and all of them claimed to have extraordinary literary talents. At this moment, Shi Kefa suddenly
I felt my face burning, and I could hear the little eunuch using this word to directly express his loyalty to the country.
But what is even more shocking is that the young eunuch in front of him is really a genius. He is invincible in wars and is known to both the government and the public. During this time, the cultural circle in Beijing has been rumored that his articles are talented. Although his works are few, they are all masterpieces.
It is said that a few days ago when I was out of customs, I climbed the Great Wall and the emotional song "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" shocked the cultural circle. Many people bluntly said that they did not believe that it was written by him, but some people firmly believed that it was written by a young eunuch. The reason is simple.
The person who wrote such a majestic work must have been in the military and had a big picture. Secondly, this poem was passed down by the prince. It is said that the prince was beside him at the time...
For example, the last time I traveled, Chang Yu dressed up as a 13-year-old man. He was surrounded by officers and soldiers who were well-versed in writing. He felt that he was heroic and happy, but the impact was limited. But this time, there were twenty or thirty civil servants from the three law departments, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Households.
Poems and books, I know how wonderful these words are.
And so many people are watching him frown and meditate on every word and every sentence. It is definitely not plagiarism. Whether it is the song Serving the Country with Loyalty, or the previous song Swordsman, Men Should Be Strong, or the song Qinyuan Spring Snow, you can hang it.
Even after searching through the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, I couldn't find any similarities.
You have to say that the people around him deliberately flattered him, but if the young eunuch is not in the yamen or in the army, anyone who can read a few big characters in these two places can be called a genius.
Convinced! Dozens of accompanying civil servants had mixed feelings in their hearts. They once felt that they were really useless. Han Chuang had studied hard for more than ten years, and his papers and martial arts were not far inferior to this little eunuch who appeared from nowhere.
But what impressed these civil servants the most was not the young eunuch's literary talent, but the friendliness and casualness with which he dealt with people.
Needless to say, Wei Zhongxian's prestige and rules in the past were too much. There were too many sinister and ruthless rumors about Wei Zhongxian after he became a young eunuch.
His expression changed upon hearing it.
In addition, Chang Yu usually keeps a low profile and rarely interacts with civil servants, so his impression of him is no different from that of Wei Zhongxian in the past.
But the performance of the little eunuch along the way made them dumbfounded. The dignified admiral of the East Factory, a man who stomped his feet in court and everyone in the country, was trembling with fear. However, he hooked up with the soldiers around him and sometimes gambled money together.
, sometimes they hunt together and even fight... He is simply a wild child, not even remotely like a great eunuch from Dongchang.
They were collectively confused as to what kind of person this eunuch was.
On the contrary, it was Shi Kefa who chatted and laughed with Chang Yu, both a teacher and a friend, without any sense of awkwardness, which surprised all the accompanying civil servants. Is this still the Secretary of the Ministry of War who usually likes to have a black face?
When Chang Yu's "loyalty to serve the country" came out, he knew someone was going to cry. Sure enough, he glanced behind him and saw a fair eunuch with tears on his face. He was speechless. He hadn't composed the music yet...
But surprisingly, Su Jing also cried. Chang Yu was really curious: "I never thought that the famous killer Night Demon also has a heart of loyalty to serve the country."
Su Jing rolled her eyes at him and said: "I am just a weak woman in the world. I don't have such big ambitions. Serving the country with loyalty is left to you gentlemen." She sighed and wiped her tears: "But the song "Swordsman is proud of the world",
Heartbreaking."
Hey, as expected, people in the world are more impressed by this song and lyrics.
"Jianghu people, Jianghu Qu" Chang Yu smiled slightly and turned to leave when Sujing stopped him: "I have something to ask you."
"Ask," Chang Yu said casually.
"Why do you get so close to other people when you talk to me and always put on a show of authority when talking to me?" Chang Yu was stunned for a long time by Su Jing's question: "Because you are different."
"Why am I different?" Su Jing felt a little flustered and couldn't help but pursed her lips.
"For example, others call me Lord Governor or Lord, claiming to be in a humble position, a subordinate, but you have always been, you and me, how different you are." Chang Yu said and laughed and turned to leave. Su Jing was furious and suddenly thought of
Something made me laugh again, hey, it was different.
