When Yang Shu arrived, Mingwei and Ning Xiu went to Jiangyang camp to ask for a meeting.
It’s hot and humid in the south, and it’s already May. After settling in, some people are hanging out outside to enjoy the cool weather.
The man enjoying the cool air was named Wu Yao. He served as a lecturer and was ordered to serve King An.
——In fact, the emperor felt that Wang An’s lessons could not be stopped, so he found a teacher to follow him.
Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are all very knowledgeable. Wu Yao was born second in the rankings and is quite talented. However, he is a bit old-fashioned, has a weird temper, and is not very popular. Now he is nearly fifty years old and is still hanging around in the Hanlin Academy, neither getting up nor down.
Yeah, it's hard to get ahead.
This time when King An went on an expedition, the emperor wanted to select someone to keep an eye on his work. Anyone he trusted had a responsibility, so he found an inconspicuous person in the Hanlin Academy to follow him.
Wu Yao was lucky enough to find such a good job. He performed his duties diligently along the way and educated King An whenever he had the opportunity.
King An was miserable. Although he had been a mess in the past, he had always respected his husband.
Wu Yao was very satisfied with his teaching.
His Royal Highness Prince An, who will soon become the crown prince, is obediently listening to his instructions in front of him. This is something he has never dreamed of!
And everyone in the army respects him very much because of his status as Teacher An Wang.
Gradually, Wu Yao became angry. No matter what happened, he always wanted to talk to King An about it.
When he saw Mingwei and Ning Xiu outside the camp gate, he asked the sergeant on the side: "Who are these? Why did they come to the military camp?"
The sergeant replied respectfully: "Back to Master Wu, that gentleman is the senior brother of His Highness the King of Yue, and the young lady next to him said that he is the fiancée of His Highness the King of Yue."
"Fiancée?" Wu Yao remembered, "Oh, the one from the Ming family, right?"
Wu Yao really knew the origin of Mingwei better than others.
The Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty was a model for all scholars in Qi. The current rules of the Hanlin Academy were set by Prime Minister Ming during his time. Something like that happened to his descendants, which caused heated discussion in the Hanlin Academy.
, it is a pity that Prime Minister Ming’s reputation cannot be preserved.
Moreover, Ji Ling is now in the Hanlin Academy.
Wu Yao was deeply impressed by this young man.
Generally speaking, they have similar backgrounds, but Ji Ling is good at both work and life. Although his qualifications are not high, he is highly regarded in the Hanlin Academy.
Wu Yao felt sour in his heart. He couldn't help but compare himself with him. He felt that the reason why they were so different was because Ji Ling knew how to cheat.
Therefore, he paid more attention to the affairs of Ji Ling's family, and naturally knew that there was a future princess in his family.
No matter how low-key Mingwei is, with this engagement contract on her back, some gossip will always spread to the outside world.
Wu Yao was old-fashioned and his impression of her was not very good.
After her father passed away miserably, she still lived the life of an official lady at her uncle's house. She didn't pay much attention to the etiquette of a boudoir and went out whenever she wanted. Although she was engaged, she was not married after all, but she often traveled with her.
The descendants of Prime Minister Ming are so disrespectful, which really tarnishes Prime Minister's reputation.
But on weekdays, he couldn't see Mingwei. At most, he muttered in his heart.
Now that I suddenly saw a real person, I couldn't help it anymore.
Forget it in the capital, but still chase him to the military camp?
If King An saw this, wouldn't it mean that he had taught his highness a bad lesson?
So Wu Yao passed by.
Mingwei and Ning Xiu were waiting when they suddenly saw an official in his forties walking over with a huge belly, and asked with official authority: "What are you two doing here in this important military camp area?"
Ning Xiu didn't pay attention, he cupped his hands and replied: "Sir, we are relatives of His Highness the King of Yue, and we have come here to see you."
"Really?" Wu Yao looked suspicious, stroking his beard and looking him up and down, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue's relatives are all royal relatives. Why don't I remember that there is someone like you?"
Ning Xiu heard the embarrassment in his tone and didn't want to get entangled, so he said: "The common people are wrong. They are close people, not relatives."
"Oh..." Wu Yao nodded, "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Yue has a senior brother who is a charlatan. Could it be you?"
Ning Xiu calmly replied: "Yes."
Wu Yao put on the posture of admonishing: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue did not do this properly. The people in the Jianghu are lawless. How can you be too close? Forget it on weekdays. Now is the war. How can you let irrelevant people into the camp? You should go back.
Don’t burden His Royal Highness the King of Yue.”
The sergeants guarding the camp knew that Wu Yao loved to teach people, and Ning Xiu was not one of them, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one came to rescue him.
Ning Xiu frowned and said angrily: "Sir, we have something important to do with His Highness the King of Yue."
"Is it important? You are a Jianghu person, what important things do you know?" Wu Yao said contemptuously, and then looked at Mingwei, "Who is this person? During the war, no one can enter the military camp casually, and women are even more prohibited.
, don’t you know this?”
Ning Xiu naturally explained for her: "This is Miss Ming Qi, the fiancée of His Highness the King of Yue. We really have something important to do. Please be accommodating and allow us to meet with His Highness."
Hearing his answer, Wu Yao became even more excited and said to Ming Wei: "So you are the fiancée of His Royal Highness the King of Yue? Let alone not married yet, even if you are already married, what is the etiquette of chasing after you to the military camp like this? On this expedition,
The two Highnesses are here in person, and they must set an example. If Miss Ming Qi understands the truth, she should not trap His Highness King Yue in injustice!"
Mingwei has traveled around the world for many years and has never seen anyone. Knowing that people like him will become more enthusiastic the more they talk to him, so he just repeated: "My little girl really has something important to do. Please show your respect."
He had already said everything, but he still didn't cry bitterly to show his regret. Wu Yao became more and more dissatisfied: "Didn't it say that women can't enter the military camp? If I let you in today, what if others follow suit in the future? It's really outrageous!
"
Upon hearing this, Mingwei and Ning Xiu looked at each other and both chose to shut up.
They still think it's a waste of time to argue with this kind of people. Just wait, Yang Shu will send someone anyway.
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from the other side: "Oh, Master Wu is so majestic! Have you become addicted to being a teacher along the way? He even takes charge of military affairs?"
Who else could make this mocking voice besides Yang Shu? He did not send anyone, but came in person, and even King An was there.
Wu Yao thought he was right, but he was ridiculed by him, saluted, and said angrily: "What did His Highness, King of Yue, say? Is what I said wrong? Or does His Highness intend to ignore military discipline?"
Yang Shu glanced at him, raised the corner of his mouth, and half-smiled: "Xueshi Wu seems to understand military discipline very well. Then I have to ask, is there really such a rule in military discipline? Hey, tell me!"
He casually clicked on a soldier at the gate of the camp.
The soldier was stunned for a moment and replied: "Your Highness, this seems not to have been written..."
It's just that everyone defaults to it.
Now in wartime, what would happen if women were allowed to enter the military camp at will? This kind of thing can easily become the beginning of corruption, so any army that still respects discipline will strictly control it.
Yang Shu didn't care about this, listened to him, and looked at Wu Yao arrogantly: "Xueshi Wu, did you hear that?" (To be continued)
