This year, the snow in Bianjing began to fall on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year of Yuanyou, and it only stopped on the fourth day of the fourth year of Yuanyou.
When the heavy snow was about to stop, Jianchuan sat quietly under the corridor and cooked tea next to Su Chaer. Although this small courtyard in the Grand View Garden is prosperous in Bianjing, it is another pure world.
The world is white, and the snowflakes are floating lightly with the wind and fall on Jianchuan's fingertips.
Slightly cool.
Suddenly, a string seemed to break in my mind and suddenly became clear.
“The scenery of the north is filled with ice for thousands of miles and snow falls.
Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there are only the vastness; the river is rising and falling, and the river suddenly loses surging.
The silver snake dances in the mountains, and the wax figures are galloping, trying to compete with the heavens.
On sunny days, I look at the red dress and it is very charming.
The country is so beautiful that countless heroes are competing for the competition.
The Qin Emperor and Han Emperor were slightly inferior to the literary talent; the Tang Emperor and Song ancestors were slightly inferior to the charm.
Genghis Khan, a genius of a generation, only knew how to bending a bow and shooting eagles.
All have passed, and there are several romantic figures, and I still look at the present day.”
"I'm afraid of it."
"Fuck it."
...
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Li Sancai arrived in Bianjing. He should have been here before the New Year, but he was delayed for several days. Now the situation of the Cao Gang is in danger.
Therefore, when I came to Bianjing, I no longer asked for help at the invitation of Jianchuan.
A few years ago, Jian Chuan invited Li Sancai to Beijing with the purpose of persuading him to retreat temporarily and handed over the Cao Gang to Zhang Fengxian.
Now, Jian Chuan changed his mind. He figured it out. He sought stability one by one, but ignored the way of heaven.
The way of heaven is impermanence. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are the norm of time. You cannot escape when you are in the human world. You can only be brave and diligent, do your best to fight for your destiny.
Therefore, facing Li Sancai, who was covered in secret and tired, Jian Chuan said: "Don't worry, third brother, I have released news yesterday, and I can borrow the danger of the Cao Gang for a while. I will rest in Beijing for a few days, and I will prepare for you as soon as possible. An elite force, you will take it back, and if there is an invasion, you will be killed without mercy."
Li Sancai said anxiously: "I already know on the way here. Fifth brother, how can you send out news that the Cao Gang and you, King Yongchuan, share the honor and disgrace. Isn't this based on the verbal remarks of the people? It must not be done. ”
Jian Chuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with you and me? Everyone knows what you and I have to hide from?"
"This?" Li Sancai was stunned when he heard this. He thought about it carefully. Everyone knows the Swedish Son of the Seven Brothers. Who doesn't know that the Cao Gang is the supporter of Jian Chuan's iron attack. He targets the Cao Gang, just Jian Chuan. King Yongchuan, how could he bully at will?
Jian Chuan continued: "As for the affairs in the court, there is no need to worry about the three. I have their own way to deal with it."
Seeing that Jian Chuan said it was relaxed and casual, Li Sancai was relieved, but in fact he still had no ghost in his heart. He knew his own affairs. Since he became a sworn brother with Jian Chuan, the Cao Gang has indeed become a die-hard supporter of Jian Chuan, but he can swear to the sky. The Cao Gang did not get any benefit from Jian Chuan. On the contrary, during Jian Chuan's time in Yongle City, the Cao Gang contributed people and then money, so he had a clear conscience and was not afraid of criticism.
However, the actual situation is that on the seventh day of the lunar month, the first grand dynasty meeting in the fourth year of Yuanyou.
After offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors, some people are even unwilling to wait two more days and declare war directly.
As usual, the minions were the pioneer and reported, "I found that five hundred soldiers of the Yanyun Army in Chenliu's military camp disappeared inexplicably, and their whereabouts were unknown."
The little emperor asked calmly: "Uncle Yongchuan, what's going on?"
Jian Chuan said: "I don't know, wait for me to go back and investigate."
Another little one came out of the line and said, "I have a witness to prove that the five hundred soldiers have already left the camp with four characters and went south while the night was dark. This is a confession, please ask Your Majesty to read it."
After looking at the emperor, he then asked the eunuch to hand it over to Jian Chuan. Jian Chuan pretended to be serious and finished reading it, and then said: "I don't know, please ask Your Majesty to go to Chenliu to investigate it in person."
It was not until then that the main master jumped out. Kaifeng Prefectural Governor Lu Dafang left the line and pointed at Jian Chuan angrily and said, "Hmph, the Ministry of War has completed the inspection, and there are indeed five hundred people missing. Jian Chuan, what are you going to explain?"
Jian Chuan said oh and said indifferently: "Oh, it turns out that five hundred deserters were released at once. That is indeed a disadvantage for me to govern the army. Please punish him."
Hearing this, many people in the hall looked as if they were blushing. Are you pleading guilty now? No more talk, we still have a lot of things to say, it’s really uncomfortable to hold it in.
But although I felt uncomfortable, I could only suffer. Then I rushed forward and convicted Jian Chuan.
At this stage, Jian Chuan didn't say a word, Qiu Lanxi and Ge Chunzhu didn't say a word, and he looked like he was left to fate.
Then, the empress dowager behind the curtain spoke: "The King of Yongchuan will not be in the army for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will be negligent. It is impossible to blame the King of Yongchuan. This is what I will be punished for three months to serve as a warning to you. I hope that the King of Yongchuan will go to Yan, Chenliu County, afterwards.
When inspecting the Yun army, you must not have deserters again, otherwise, you will only ask."
"My minister, I will beg you to thank you."
As such, the dust settled. On the surface, Jian Chuan was punished and seemed to be at a disadvantage. However, everyone is not stupid. Who doesn’t know that the business of Yongchuan King is booming. Now on the Silk Road, Su’s business is from
The caravans were the leader, and even the court's caravans were inferior, so the matter of being punished for March was not even tickling.
But what? Jian Chuan insists that it is a deserter, and the matter of deserter in the army can be big or small, the key depends on the attitude of the people in power. Therefore, since the Empress Dowager has spoken, even if some officials are dissatisfied,
I could only pinch my nose and accept it.
In this way, some senior officials had already concluded that Zhang Qilinzi's plan to target the Cao Gang was basically declared to be a failure. Since the Yanyun Army was launched, it was the elite among the five hundred elites. With those wild tyrants in the world, even if they were all very powerful in martial arts,
They will definitely not withstand the strangle of military formations. After all, although the world is dangerous, it is a different place than the battlefield of corpses and seas of blood.
Unless you send troops to help, in that case, it will be a complete anger of Jian Chuan. Jie Shi was afraid that he would not know that the world was stained with blood, and the court would have to be less than one person.
Everything must have a degree. This is the consensus of everyone. Jian Chuan’s five hundred Yanyun Army elites are his degree, and when he sees the difficulties, he is the degree that Jian Chuan leaves for his opponent. Everyone knows it well
Can.
Sure enough, after Jian Chuan thanked her, the little emperor looked a little ugly, but did not refute her. Instead, he seemed to change the subject and asked: "Where is the top scholar who won three consecutive years last year?"
The Minister of Personnel came out and replied: "Zhang Fengxian is currently in Hanlin and is appointed as Jiangling Prefecture again. He is diligent in his official position and has made many achievements. He was promoted to the sixth-rank magistrate at the end of last year."
"So, he's still a talented person."
"Of course, Zhang Fengxian's talent is the best in the world. Please pay more attention to your majesty."
The little emperor nodded, but turned to Jian Chuan and asked, "Uncle Yongchuan, what about your opinion?"
Of course, this face must be given, otherwise it would be of no benefit to force the little emperor into anger. Therefore, Jian Chuan said: "A such a talent should be recalled to the capital to entrust an important task."
"Then Uncle Wang thinks, what important task should he be assigned?"
Jian Chuan smiled and said, "I heard that Zhang Qilinzi wrote a sword and was very good at military affairs. He should join the Ministry of War and ordered the commander of the Yulin Army."
Then the little emperor's face was slightly calmer and asked the Empress Dowager again: "Grandmother thought it was appropriate."
"allow."
"I sent an order to summon Zhang Fengxian back to Beijing, and serve as the Minister of War and the Chief Commander of the Yulin Army."
"Your Majesty's wiseness."
Look, how great it is, everyone is happy.
Jian Chuan saved the Cao Gang. Although the little emperor spent some time in vain, Jian Chuan was convinced and recalled Zhang Fengxian. The key was to let Zhang Fengxian take control of military power. Although he was just a small captain, he only entered Beijing.
, then promotion is not easy.
It can also be seen that until this time, Jian Chuan still looked down on the so-called Qilin talent. Moreover, since this grand ceremony, although Jian Chuan had reported that Zhang Fengxian had entered Beijing quickly, this person was deliberately avoiding himself.
But he didn't meet him at all. Jian Chuan didn't care about him, so he forgot about it over time.
For several months, Jian Chuan has been in a state of great trouble. On weekdays, it is okay to run to Chenliu and Bianjing, but since April, the heavy rain has not stopped. This is difficult for Jian Chuan to destroy.
In the heavy rain, I could only give up the comfortable life of Grand View Garden and chose to live in the military camp.
I thought I would have been able to stay in the military camp for a few days, but the result was indeed the case. Jian Chuan had been idle for a few days, and there was nothing tight to do when training troops all day, but he had only been idle for a few days.
That's it.
In mid-April, the heavy rain had been falling for more than ten days. On this day, Su Shi rushed into Yanyun's military camp with a straw raincoat and almost shot and killed him as a spy. Fortunately, Jian Chuan saw it and almost stopped him.
The tragedy happened.
He asked in fear: "Why did the sir come suddenly? I'd still come alone? The students' place is a military camp. You must not be so rash in the future."
However, Su Shi obviously had no leisure to care about these things, so he quickly grabbed Jian Chuan's hand and said, "Jian Chuan, big things are not good, big things are not good, Shanghu Dike can't hold on anymore, hundreds of thousands of people in Puyang County are in danger.
.What should I do? What should I do?"
Upon hearing this, although Jian Chuan knew that the situation was urgent, he was still confused and quickly said, "Sir, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let me tell you in detail."
Su Shi took a few breaths and took a sip of water before calming down. Although he was still speaking rapidly, he finally explained it clearly.
In the past two years, Su Shi has done nothing and has written less poetry. He has devoted all his energy to the construction of water conservancy. With Jian Chuan** behind his back, he has fully supported him, asking for money and people.
People, this effect is naturally significant.
Therefore, even though the rainfall this year is far greater than in previous years, Jian Chuan is confident because he believes in Su Shi's ability.
Su Shi was also very confident, but he was also a responsible person, so he braved the heavy rain to patrol the river bank for days. After this investigation, it was amazing. The Shanghu dike, which had just been built for a huge amount of money last year, actually cracked. Once it was decided
There are endless troubles in the dike, and the first thing to be affected is the hundreds of thousands of people in Puyang. Once the flood is rushing, there are still a few left.
Fortunately, Su Shi knew that with his ability, it was impossible to effectively prevent the tragedy. Fortunately, Shanghu Dike was only more than a hundred miles away from Yanyun Military Camp. Fortunately, Su Shi thought of coming to Jianchuan for help.
As such, Jian Chuan was shocked and ran out without even hiding his shoes, shouting heart-wrenchingly: "Send orders to gather, gather..."
