While talking and singing, it was noon before he knew it. Chang Yu decided to have lunch in the military camp. Of course, he had a big pot meal with the soldiers.
Then a strange scene that shocked the jaws of countless soldiers appeared: the dignified Admiral of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty, carrying a bowl, running around everywhere, crowded wherever there were people, sometimes squatting and sometimes sitting on the ground while eating and chatting with the soldiers.
Talk about daily life, talk about life in the military, talk about things at home...
This move really blinded many people. In this era of strict class, the powerful eunuch would mingle with the soldiers. This is something that is simply unimaginable and impossible to happen. Can you imagine Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian like this?
What?
But the eunuch of the Dongchang in front of him was like this. Everything was natural and without any pretense. He was just chatting with the soldiers, and from time to time he would put their arms around each other, which made the whole battalion of soldiers so excited that they couldn't help themselves. They all came and shouted "Master Superintendent" one after another.
If you get a response and you can do somersaults happily, you will be proud of everything in your life.
Tang Tong and Shi Kefa looked at it with mixed emotions, speechless and envious. Shi Kefa wanted to do this but couldn't shame it because he was a civil servant and could not take that step. Tang Tong could do it, but at this time
Participation seems too deliberate, so it would be better to leave the scene to this little eunuch and let him perform to his heart's content.
In the General Military Mansion, the Fanzi and the Sanfa Department checked the accounts, and the Jinyiwei Warehouse verified. Chang Yu rejoiced with the soldiers in the barracks. Before he knew it, it was getting dark, and before he knew it, the day had passed.
After a long day, everyone was a little tired. After dinner, they dispersed to have an early rest. In Chang Yu's bedroom, Zhu Cixiang sat at his desk and wrote notes carefully, recording everything that happened that day in detail and his own feelings. Chang Yu stood there
He held a tea cup next to him and looked at it carefully.
Lian Xin came in and filled a pot of hot water: "Duke, Her Royal Highness has gone to bed, and the master is with her." Princess Kunxing's identity was not deliberately concealed from her, and she already knew it after getting along with her for a few days.
Chang Yu hummed: "Where have you been playing today, Your Highness? You're not angry with your master, right?"
Lian Xin shook her head: "Your Highness likes to travel around and play around for a while. Both she and the master have a cold temperament, rarely speak and are not angry."
Chang Yu nodded and told Lian Xin to go back to sleep early. When he turned around, he saw Zhu Cixiang's unfinished eyes. He couldn't help but frown and said: "Since ancient times, emperors who were greedy, lustful, arrogant and extravagant have met a good end."
Zhu Cixiang was startled and straightened his expression: "Lian Xin is very beautiful. Everyone has a love for beauty. I just took a few more looks to prevent it from being like what you said."
"Of course it's not the same for ordinary people, but in the future you will ascend to the throne of a great treasure, how can you be like ordinary people? If you want to become an emperor for eternity, you need to be self-disciplined, unless you have no ambition to be a mediocre emperor for the rest of your life! But!
It's fine to be a mediocre emperor in prosperous times, but what if it's troubled times? Thousands of miles of land and mountains can't keep you from being ashamed of your ancestors!"
Zhu Cixiang was dripping with cold sweat, and he quickly stood up and said that he was being taught. He didn't expect that he just glanced at the girl one more time and was sprayed like this.
The next day, before dawn, Chang Yu got up. Wang Zhengnan and others were waiting outside the door. When he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Zhu Cixiang shouting: "Take me with you. From now on, I will be strict with myself! I won't let you
Just take a look!"
Chang Yu curled his lips and rolled his eyes: "Don't be too hot for three minutes."
What does three minutes mean...
Just one fifth of a moment...
In the next three days, everyone performed their duties, Fanzi checked the accounts, Jinyiwei checked and arrested people, and the three law divisions were all very busy reviewing cases.
Of course, there are those who have leisure time. That must be Princess Kunxing. She goes out early every day and comes back late every day to travel around the mountains and rivers and sketch. She can do dozens of paintings every day? Are there black mountains and white water? There are dead trees and lonely leaves, the majestic Great Wall, and soldiers training...
…
Zhu Cixiang was not idle either. He was very tired every day. He followed Chang Yu and others to practice martial arts before dawn? He also had to go to the military camp with Chang Yu and others to rectify military discipline and train soldiers and horses. He also arranged a special riding and shooting course for him. After a day, he returned to
The General Military Mansion just wanted to fall asleep.
Soldiers are not that easy to use.
Within a few days, thirteen of Tang Tong's men were arrested, many of whom were guerrillas, with the largest number being from a thousand households.
Some of these people voluntarily surrendered, while others were investigated and all were charged in the hope of leniency if they confessed. It has never been so easy for a three-law judicial case.
Sure enough, Dongchang’s signboard is strong enough.
These worms who didn't know how to stop were each dismissed from their posts and sentenced to one to several years in prison. They were immediately taken to the capital and imprisoned. However, they were all grateful to Chang Yu and Tang Tong. After all, Chang Yu was patrolling the border with Shang Fang Sword and killed a general soldier.
Some of them were in trouble, but they were chopping vegetables with just a raise of their hands. It was a mercy that they were not beheaded.
Chang Yu was about to leave, leaving behind several officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs as well as Fanzi to continue to verify the number of soldiers and horses. Tang Tong patted his chest to express his full cooperation and never hide his secrets.
Before leaving, Tang Tong gave Chang Yu sixty taels of silver: "A little kindness is not too little."
"Hey, Uncle Ping, you bribed our family in front of so many people, which is obviously to prevent our family from coming to power." Chang Yu pretended to be exaggerated, but he didn't know what he meant by the money.
Tang Tong laughed loudly: "Mr. Governor, please don't misunderstand, this is a congratulatory gift for your subordinates." Chang Yu suddenly realized that sixty-two or three people, twenty each, is quite good.
"Then our family will express our most sincere thanks to Uncle Ping Xi on behalf of the three of them. This wedding banquet will definitely be indispensable when uncle returns to Beijing..." Chang Yu said with cupped hands.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and Tang Tong returned after ten miles.
Chang Yu then ordered an urgent trip because he had to rush back to Beijing to attend the wedding. This trip and being delayed for several days in Jizhen made the time somewhat tight.
"Master Shi, if you go in a hurry, you may not be able to bear the fatigue of the carriage and horse. If you don't take the officials and go straight to Xuanfu Town without returning to the capital, our family will catch up soon..." Chang Yu suggested
, but was immediately rejected by Shi Kefa. He was determined and wanted to return to Beijing to attend the wedding of the three people in Wuzhong. The reason was simple. They were all military people and had friendships. Secondly, the emperor was presiding over the wedding. This must be praised.
The accompanying officials also agreed, saying that they would go with them to congratulate him, so Chang Yu had no choice but to give up. However, there were people who were not far away and wanted to go to Xuanfu Town first.
That's right, the prince and Princess Kunxing.
Of course, Chang Yu knew what they were thinking. They were afraid that they would not be able to get out after returning to the capital. Although they had Emperor Chongzhen’s approval for leaving the capital this time, they were very reluctant at the time. If Chang Yu could not go back to get some wind, the two of them would not leave.
Figured it out.
"Could it be that your two highnesses still don't trust the conduct of ministers?" Chang Yu called the two of them and said in a low voice.
The brother and sister nodded.
Chang Yu looked stunned: "I, I, have I done anything to be sorry for you two?"
The brother and sister shook their heads.
"Then why can't you trust me?" Chang Yu was helpless and speechless. Princess Kunxing's eyes were full of resentment: "I have only been out of the capital for only six or seven days, and I can't travel more than two hundred miles. I am really unwilling!"
Zhu Cixi also begged: "Although I trust you, I always have a feeling that I will be betrayed by you as soon as I return to Beijing!"
Damn it, when did these two people become so smart? Chang Yu murmured in his heart, could it be that he had revealed his words inadvertently?
But no matter what, he couldn't allow the two of them to go straight to Xuanfu Town without his company, because it was really dangerous there.
It's not just that the military discipline there is in disorder. In addition, there is a special zone port. Various forces are mixed in the area, including many Tatars and Tatar spy organizations.
To put it simply, it is like Shanghai and Hong Kong during the Anti-Japanese War and Civil War. In such a chaotic place, once the identity of the two people is exposed, they will immediately become the meat and potatoes of all forces.
Chang Yu couldn't take this risk, but the two of them insisted not to return to Beijing. If Zhu Cihong was alone, Chang Yu would just take her away regardless of whether he agreed or not. But Princess Kunxing couldn't do it. He really didn't care about this handsome girl.
People can't be cruel.
In the end, he compromised. Chang Yu returned to Beijing to attend the wedding and left Heilangying and his bodyguards, the prince, brother and sister to slowly go west. At most, they could only get to Changping and then they had to stay and wait for Chang Yu.
