Early that morning, Yuntong took Wang Bu and the guards out of Donghua Gate and walked towards the household entrance. Because yesterday Yuntong had asked the guards to notify the officials of the Bashu Division of the Ministry of Household to go to the North Gate Bridge in the north of the city early this morning.
The land was inspected over there, so Li Ren, the doctor, had already reported this matter to Shangshu yesterday. Early this morning, high-ranking officials from Bashu Division were already waiting at the gatehouse of the Ministry of Household Office compound.
The main reason why everyone is not waiting at the door is because it is cold. If you think about it, you will know that the 20th day of the ninth lunar month is probably the end of October or the beginning of November in the Western calendar. It is already late autumn and winter is approaching.
Since the Tang Dynasty, global temperatures have dropped. In the early Ming Dynasty, the temperature was even lower than now, so the weather has become colder.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the income of officials was only a small dead salary. They did not have all kinds of expenses, ministry expenses, etc. like later officials. If they did not have many children, they could support their families, but they could not afford to hire a sedan chair. Therefore, everyone wanted to
To keep warm, I had to hide in the concierge.
After Yuntong left the Donghua Gate, he asked Chen Xing to ask the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor (the Royal Horse Supervisor was still just the "Yu Ma" at this time) to prepare horses and chariots.
When Yuntong was about to arrive at the household gate, the gatekeeper of the household compound quickly informed the officials waiting here: "Come out quickly, the third prince is here." All colleagues from the Bashu Division hurriedly tidied up their appearance and pressed the button.
People of different grades filed out. When Yuntong walked to the door of the house, the officials of the Bashu Division had already lined up outside the door. They all saluted when they saw Yuntong coming in.
Yunxi returned the greeting and said, "It's very cold today. Suddenly there was a strong wind from the north and it became colder. So let's not pay attention to formal etiquette." Then he pointed to the carriage approaching from behind and continued.
Said: "Everyone, let's get on the carriage and leave."
How could the civil servants be willing to stand in the cold wind all the time, let alone brave the northwest wind and walk to the north. So Li Ren, the doctor, took the lead, verbally declined and got on the carriage.
Of course Yunxi went on horseback, and his guards and Wang Bu also got on the horse. In fact, Wang Bu couldn't ride a horse. How could a man from a poor family know how to ride a horse? It's not like he later implemented horse politics.
time. But the master rides a horse, how could he ride in a car?
Yunxi couldn't persuade him to ride in the car; and since everyone had been brought out, he couldn't just let him go back to the palace. Then Wang Bu couldn't hold his head up in the palace. So the group of people rode horses and rode in the car at a slow speed.
Slowly go to the Wu De Guard Station near Beimen Bridge.
The current commander of Wu Dewei is Chu Zhi. Chu Zhi also followed Feng Sheng, Lan Yu and others to fight in the fortress, and later died in the battle during the "Jingnan". He went to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion yesterday to meet Feng Sheng and learned that Yun Xi
After asking him to clear a place, he thought about how to make room on the way back to Wu Dewei. When he returned to Wu Dewei, he immediately ordered his soldiers to start working, freeing up half of the school field, a small warehouse for spare weapons, and
He and his subordinates commanded their colleagues and directed them to work in the public house. Anyway, they didn't usually stay in the public house.
This morning, when Mao o'clock (5 o'clock in the morning) arrived, when the soldiers were doing their morning exercises, all the middle and high-level guards officers headed by Chu Zhi also went out for morning exercises like the soldiers, which surprised the uninformed general flag, Xiaoqi and soldiers.
.
It is now the Hongwu period, and the "military generals" in the Beijing camp do not rarely go to the barracks as they did later, but it is still very common for everyone to come in late and leave early every day, and the reasons are easy to find. But what is today?
Ah, it is the day when the future monarch of the empire is coming. Although everyone knows that the possibility of coming to Wudewei at the time of Yunxi Mao is very small, but what if he really comes so early? Anyway, it is just a hard day, usually
Everyone also has to take turns hosting morning exercises.
Sure enough, Yunxi did not arrive at Mao hour, which was not only what they expected, but also made them secretly disappointed. It was not until about three quarters of an hour that Yunxi and his party arrived belatedly.
Chu Zhi had already thought about it yesterday. I heard that His Highness the Third Highness is the most disciplined person, so we will give him a meeting in Xiliu Camp, and I will treat him as Zhou Yafu. Chu Zhi is very glad that he heard about the book before.
Lived this period.
Yunxi and his party came to the gate of Wu Dewei and were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate. Although the soldier headed by the gatekeeper was covered in sweat, he still asked according to Chu Zhi's instructions yesterday: "Who are you? This is the center of the military camp.
, the rest of the people are waiting to get out of the way quickly."
Yunxi was immediately amused. Although he didn't know which song Chu Zhi was singing, he knew that he must have prepared wrongly. Although Yunxi was wearing the so-called 'regular clothes', the ordinary clothes of the royal family were different from those of ordinary people.
His regular clothes are completely different. Yunxi is now wearing the clothes of a county prince, and his regular clothes have python patterns, which everyone in the capital knows. As soon as he heard what the gatekeeper said, he knew that he had prepared them in advance.
.
But Yunxi suddenly became more playful. He had been too worried these past few days and needed to relax. He stopped Wang Bu who was about to scold him and said with a smile: "Gu is the son of Prince Yiwen. Today I was ordered to come to Wudewei to handle matters.
Please report it as well.”
Upon hearing this, the soldier followed the script arranged in advance, gave a military salute, and then went in to report.
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue behind were talking a lot. Li Ren and Yuanwailang Zhao Yi said: "According to the etiquette and laws established by your Majesty, this soldier has violated etiquette and must be executed."
Zhao Yi said: "It is true. However, His Highness is still young and may not have a clear understanding of etiquette."
Li Ren said again: "Even if His Highness doesn't know clearly, he should know that he violated etiquette, right? Why didn't he reprimand him at all?"
Zhao Yi looked at Yunxi, twirled his beard and said, "Who knows, His Highness is only fifteen years old this year."
Li Ren suddenly realized what Zhao Yi was thinking and thought it made sense. Your Highness is still just a young man.
After a while, the soldier who reported the news came back and said: "My commander invites you all to come in."
Wang Bu couldn't bear it any longer and said: "This is His Highness the County Prince, how can you be so negligent! Let your commanders come out to greet him."
Hearing the reprimand, the soldier was so frightened that he knelt down, but still followed the script and said: "The army only listens to military orders and nothing else."
Yunxi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you can take us into the military camp." After hearing Yunxi's words, Wang Gong had to swallow what he wanted to say.
The soldiers stood up tremblingly, opened the door of the military camp, led them in, and said at the same time: "According to the rules of the army, they are not allowed to drive."
When Yunxi came here, he understood that it was an allusion to the "Xiliu Camp", so he dismounted his horse and walked happily. The civil servants behind him were also well-read in poetry and books, so they also understood what was going on, and they all snickered.
When they arrived at the door of the public house where Chu Zhi usually worked, Chu Zhi and his commanders were all wearing armor. When they saw Yunxi and his entourage coming, they gave a military salute and said: "It is inconvenient for soldiers to wear armor.
Great gift, please allow me to use military salute to see you."
Yun He couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing. The civil servants behind him also laughed out loud. Some of the guards who were more educated and knew the allusions of "Xiliu Camp" also explained to others, and after a while, Yun He
Everyone he brought with him started laughing, and Chu Zhi was so overwhelmed with laughter.
Yunxi pointed at the soldier who brought him in (actually the commander-in-chief pretended to be the commander-in-chief) and said, "Do you know that what you just did violated the etiquette and laws established by His Majesty and will cause you to lose your head?" The man was so frightened that he immediately got off.
Kneel and kowtow.
Then he turned to Chu Zhi and said: "Master Chu, I am learning the allusion of 'Xiliu Camp', but the rules of this dynasty are different from those of the Han Dynasty. Master Chu's actions also violated the etiquette and laws established by your majesty.
, at least dismissed from office.”
Chu Zhi and his men were so frightened that they all wanted to kneel down. But they were wearing armor today and could not kneel down at all. Some of them were quick to kneel and stopped halfway, while others were slow to react and fell to the ground.
Yunxi also quickly helped Chu Zhi, who was kneeling halfway and didn't know what to do, and said: "General Chu, please get up. It's my first time to come to the military camp today, so I won't blame you; but you have to remember that I, the Ming Dynasty, can't do this.
If anyone follows suit in the future, we will never tolerate it." This matter was ignored and ignored.
When everyone got up, Yunxi began to talk about business: "General Chu, the Duke of Song should have mentioned the matter of vacating the place to you yesterday. How are you preparing?"
Chu Zhi was not young, and had experienced a lot of embarrassing things. He quickly adjusted and returned: "Your Highness, look at the school grounds to the east, which can be used as a place to accommodate the people; there is a place to the northeast
There is a small warehouse, and there is a public building to the north, which can be used to store grain; the second and third floors of the public building can also be used as office space."
Yunxi heard that he was ready and praised: "General Chu has prepared well. But if half of the school grounds are missing, won't it affect the training of the soldiers?"
Chu Zhi said: "It doesn't matter. The school ground is big, and the soldiers can be divided into several shifts to exercise."
Yunxi asked Li Ren what he thought of the place. Li Ren looked at it for a while and said, "The location here is very good." Other officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs also had no objection.
Seeing that the professionals all agreed, Yunxi felt that it was nothing, so he said: "That's it. The things in the school yard over there will be moved over quickly in the next few days, and they will start to be used on September 27th." Chu Zhi
In response, after saying a few words, Yunxi was ready to leave. Chu Zhi led all the officers and men of Wudewei to the door.
When they arrived at the door, Yunxi mentioned it again before leaving: "General Chu, please don't do any superficial things in the future. Just do your job well." Chu Zhi blushed again, and Nuonuo responded.
After leaving the gate of Wu Dewei and not walking far, Yunxi felt a little hungry, but it was inconvenient to go back to Wu Dewei and it was too far to go back to the palace. While holding on, he thought of a place and asked Chen Xing sideways: "What did you bring last time?"
Is that 'Shandong Noodle House' that I've been to near here?"
