"Your Majesty, Wang Zhongqu, see you, Your Highness!" 34-year-old Wang Tan walked into the room, suppressed his inner excitement, and saluted Zhao Xinxing by roll call.
When Huang Chengji found Wang Tan and Zhao Tingjun in the morning and told them that they were about to work in the secretariat and would meet Zhao Xin in the afternoon, they were both stunned. Without him, the news was too sudden and they were unprepared.
Although Wang Tan is always unruly and unruly, and regards fame and wealth as floating clouds, it is actually all an illusion. In fact, he needs fame and official position more than anyone else to prove himself. Otherwise, he would have come all the way to Beihai by boat.
Why are you here? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be a small landowner and jump up and down in your own small building?
Although Zhao Xin has not yet ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, some people have long compared various departments in Beihai Town with the institutions of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In their view, the Beihai Naval Staff is the Privy Council or the Governor's Office that controls the world's military power.
; The Civil Affairs Commission is the cabinet headed by the prime minister; and departments such as military industry, metallurgy, electric power, chemical industry, trade, transportation, medical care, education, etc. are actually six detailed ministries. As for Zhao Xin's "Secretariat", it is similar to the Kangxi era
In the south study room, there are consultants who discuss classics and history, talk about poetry and essays, and draft imperial edicts and official documents. In short, they are all literary and ink matters, working with pens and inkstones.
Although it is just an inconspicuous small organization, with only three or four people in total, it has a very high status in the minds of old-style literati. When Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established the cabinet, the seven secretaries headed by Xie Jin had low official positions.
It was just a fifth-rank Hanlin; but by the time of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, both of whom were in the cabinet, became ministers.
Then there is the South Study Room in the Kangxi era, which was initially just the emperor's personal study room. From October of the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, a large number of Confucian officials and commoners came to serve in it. Early famous figures included Zhang Ying (Zhang Tingyu's father)
, Gao Shiqi, Wang Shizhen, Chen Tingjing, Dai Zi, Zhu Yizun, Fang Bao, etc. are all people with outstanding talents and learning, proficient in calligraphy and poetry.
As soon as Wang Tan entered the door, Zhao Xin looked at him carefully.
Unlike Zhao Tingjun, who was delicate and frail before him, the 34-year-old Wang Tan is a typical "southern prime minister". He is of medium build and looks strong and strong. He has a long and thin face, narrow eyes, upturned eye corners, and a mustache on his upper lip.
He has a goatee on his chin, which is neatly trimmed. Combined with his brand-new official uniform and black gauze hat, he looks extremely stable and elegant.
The most famous among the scholars in the first imperial examination were him and Sun Yuanxiang. During the training period, their results were evenly matched. You must know that these two disciples of Yuan Mei, together with Shu Wei, who was working as an aide, were regarded in later generations.
Known as the "Last Three" in the poetry circle of the Qing Dynasty, he is a true literary master.
Interestingly, Shu Wei in another time and space history imitated "Dianjianglu of Donglin" during the Jiaqing period and wrote "Dianjianglu of Qianjia Poetry Circle". The book matched the 108 generals of Water Margin and listed the Qing Dynasty's generals.
Many figures in contemporary poetry.
Among them, Yuan Mei was ranked second, and Timely Rain and Yuan Jianzhai were ranked; Zhao Yi was ranked tenth, and Thunderbolt Fire Zhao Oubei was ranked; Sun Yuanxiang was ranked 17th, and Weiwei Chi and Sun Zixiao were ranked; and Wang Tan was ranked 27th.
This is the Black Tornado King Zhongqu.
Of course, Wang Tan, who is from Zhejiang, is not too dark. The reason why Shu Wei was compared to Li Kui is because his character was the most fierce among the poets in the Qianjia period, almost reckless. This can be seen from his acting in the examination room.
You can get a glimpse of it with "Thunder in the Palm".
As a lifelong friend of Wang Tan, Shu Wei also recorded an anecdote in "Dianjianglu", which is unique among "One Hundred and Eight Generals".
It is said that when Wang Tan was 57 years old, he suddenly died one day without any illness. As a result, the children in the family were busy fighting for the inheritance, and no one took care of the body even though it was lying on the bed. The gang became more and more noisy, and finally they started fighting. At this time, it was unexpected
Something unexpected happened. Wang Tan, who had already died, actually pretended to be dead like Wang Chongyang in the novel. He slowly sat up from the bed and scolded a room full of scared juniors: "You unscrupulous people are actually like this."
He is addicted to money, and even fights with his roommates! You must know that the love and friendship of your family is the greatest wealth!" After saying that, he got up and went out. When his family calmed down and looked for him, he had disappeared.
Isn’t it amazing? Thinking that Wang Tan had a friendship with Zhangjia Hutuktu when he was young, and made friends with many monks and Taoists, it is very likely that this person later became successful in cultivation and reached the realm of "land god".
At this point, some people may ask, who is the number one "Tota King" in "Dianjianglu"?
The man's name was Shen Deqian. He was once the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty and wrote many poems to flatter Qianlong. In the 43rd year of Qianlong's reign, the "Dongtai Yizhulou" case occurred. The deceased Shen Deqian was famous because he had written a biography for "Yizhulou Collection"
Being implicated; in anger, Qianlong not only banned his title and removed the tablets from the Xiangxian Temple, he even sent his guards south to Suzhou to smash the imperial stone tablet in front of Shen Deqian's tomb, and ordered all the men of the Shen family to attend and kneel down to watch.
, it can be described as extremely humiliating.
"I don't know what Huang Chungu told you. In short, the Secretariat is not the Southern Study Room of the Qing Dynasty. It will not find anyone to be a minister. You and Zhao Haishan will be under Huang Chungu's management from now on. Even though he is younger than you, he is here
I have been working in the secretariat for more than two years. He is calm and steady. I always ask him for advice when encountering problems."
Zhao Xin started the conversation between the two in this way. He first wanted to kill the other person's arrogant temper, so as not to make things difficult for Huang Chengji later. "Chun Gu" is Huang Chengji's nickname.
"yes."
"I heard that you are familiar with military literature. What have you read?"
"I have read some of them, but I can't say I am familiar with them. When I went to the capital to study more than ten years ago, I studied behind closed doors at my great-uncle's house. At that time, he was appointed as the general reader of "Sikuquanshu".
All the suicide notes were sent to his old man for review, so he had the opportunity to read them."
"Who is your great-uncle?"
Wang Tan stood up and cupped his hands to the south and said: "My great-uncle is known as Shangjixiahua. Qianlong... died of illness in the year 4473 of Xuanyuan. The posthumous title given by the Qing court at that time was Wenzhuang."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Beihai Town trained Wang Tan and others, they did not ask them to change their name to the Manchu Qing Dynasty as Tartars, only the Qing court. This is mainly because
The basic base of Beihai Town is outside the Pass, and there are tens of thousands of old and new Manchus under its rule. If they "Tatar and Tatar" all day long, it is tantamount to creating barriers and pushing these people out.
Zhao Xin had no impression of Wang Tan's great-uncle, and had never even heard of it. He continued to ask: "Which ones have you seen specifically?"
Wang Tan knew that the other party was asking about military books, so he sat down and replied: "Compilation of Military Aircraft Types", "Military Records", "Nine Border Illustrations", "Military Preparations", "Northern Expedition Chronicles", "Frontier Fortress Examination"
", "Ancient and Modern Military Mirror", I have generally read them all."
Ouch~~! Zhao Xin was startled, thinking that he had read a lot, some of which he had never seen before.
Over the years, he has given lessons to promoted officers and done a lot of homework in private. At first, he only read modern military works, and later he even read military books from the Ming Dynasty, with the purpose of getting a glimpse of the Green Camp's military system.
The "Military Machinery Collection" alone has thirty-two volumes, including most military works from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that all the military works of the Ming Dynasty were banned and destroyed after Qianlong compiled the "Sikuquanshu". In these days, most people have no place to look for it. It is quite rare for Wang Tan to have this opportunity.
For a moment, Zhao Xin felt that it was a pity that this person stayed in the Secretariat and that he should go to the Staff Headquarters. Thinking of this, he changed the subject and asked: "Is it when you met Zhangjia Lama in the capital?
Wang Tan's heart trembled, and he thought, does this person also want to ask about the "Thunder in the Palm"? He quickly replied: "Yes, I just arrived in the capital at that time, I was young and ignorant, and I didn't know the depth."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xin did not ask him what he was most worried about, but asked about the Third Zhangjia Lama: "What do you think of that person?"
Wang Tan pondered for a moment and replied: "His knowledge is profound and unfathomable, and he is a rare eminent monk in the world."
"Yeah." Zhao Xinwei nodded inexplicably.
The reason why he asked this question was because Lama Zhangyal was not only a Buddhist leader, but also played an important role in the Qing government's handling of Mongolian and Tibetan border affairs. In the future, he would also have to rely on this great leader to handle Mongolian and Tibetan affairs.
Lama.
The influence of the third Zhangjia was extremely great, not only in Shanxi, Zhili and Mongolia and Tibet, but even the Four League Banners of Torgut in far western Xinjiang respected him greatly. The fourth Zhangjia is now hiding in Rehe
Jebtsundampa Lobsang Thubten Wangchuk also had the Third Zhangjia ordained and ordained a novice monk that year.
After the "Removal of Posts" occurred in the 21st year of Qianlong's reign, it was only with the help of a letter from the Third Zhangjia Ruobidoji that the wavering Jebtsundamba was persuaded to no longer support Amulsana.
.Zhebzundamba’s lack of support led to the entire Outer Mongolia princes and nobles not supporting it.
Although the third Zhangjia had passed away eight years ago, and the fourth Zhangjia Isidenbi Gyaltsen, who was only ten years old, was now in office, but with the relationship between Wang Tan and the third Zhangjia being both teachers and friends, Zhao Xin felt that if he let
If the two of them contact each other in advance, it may have an unexpected effect. When the time comes for the Northern Navy to send troops to Chahar and the Sixth Alliance of Inner Mongolia, it will be much smoother.
When Huang Chengji reported Wang Tan's experience in the morning, Zhao Xin had already thought about how to deal with Mongolian and Tibetan affairs in the future. As for "Thunder Palm" and jumping up and down to play Qinggong, he just treated it as a piece of fun. What a big deal!
Just when Wang Tan was feeling uneasy, he heard Zhao Xin say in a deep voice: "My husband is holding the Wu hook with only one hand, and his spirit is higher than that of a hundred-foot building. Who has made history in the past ten thousand years, and wants to be named a marquis from three thousand miles away. Wang Tan, there is
Have you ever thought about joining the army, like Jiang Ziping? Use the knowledge to control the mind to manage the army, and self-denial to defeat the enemy."
"..." Wang Tan was stunned for a moment, as if Huang Zhong Dalu was ringing in his heart, and his mind was filled with excitement.
He was not shocked by the other party's words asking him to join the army, but by the previous four lines of the poem. He repeated it twice, and was infected by the incomparable confidence and pride in it, and also saw the other party's ambition.
So this person blurted out: "What else?"
"what else?"
"Your Highness only read the first four lines of his poem, what are the last four lines?"
Zhao Xin was also stunned. He accidentally used Li Zhongtang's poems. You must know that he never wanted to talk about literature with him from the beginning. With the little ink he had, it was just a trick in front of Guan Gong's door.
Bringing humiliation to oneself.
This time it was troublesome. Seeing Wang Tan's expectant look, Zhao Xin felt embarrassed. Oh, he recited it so smoothly, and if he told others that he had an idea just now, who would believe it?
"I will follow the journey with my feet, and I will not have the leisure to chase the gulls in the water. I smile and point to the towering Tianshan Mountains at the moon. Why do I have to go to Yingzhou?"
Well, Zhao Xin could only make quick wits and slightly change the last two sentences. The "Tuji" mentioned in the original poem refers to the people who went to Beijing to take the exam with Li Hongzhang; and the last sentence originally read "Several people will come to Ying from now on."
"zhou", his whole meaning changed with this change.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, a "Literature Hall" was set up. Eighteen people including Fang Xuanling were appointed as bachelors. They also made portraits, made praises, and inscribed their titles with titles. People at the time admired it and called entering the Literature Hall "Deng Yingzhou".
, later it generally refers to those who entered the Hanlin Academy through imperial examination high school.
So to Wang Tan's ears, these last four sentences sounded like Zhao Xin's encouragement to him to follow Jiang Fan's example and not to focus on being just a copywriting staff member. When he was excited, he immediately got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said:
"I am willing to follow Jiang Ziping's example and join the army! I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"
How could he not be excited when the future emperor had such great expectations for him and even gave him a poem as a gift? Originally, he thought that Zhao Xin was just an "emperor on horseback" who had nothing to do with fighting, but he didn't expect that his knowledge was actually deeply hidden.
Not exposed.
Wang Tan once said in a casual chat with Sun Yuanxiang that in history, whether Liu Bang, Cao Cao, or Zhu Yuanzhang, they all lived in an era of great chaos in the world. When all the heroes came together, it didn't matter if they lost one or two battles. The worst was to change them.
The base area can still make a comeback. Even Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yugang, had a group of Beifu soldiers who were good at recruiting and fighting, and they relied on the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River.
What is there in Beihai Town? Thousands of weak refugees, a cruel and extremely cold place outside the customs. In this kind of environment, it still managed to stand firm. Every battle was defeated with less and more was won. It was really disappointing.
Can't figure it out.
Well, there's really no way to explain this, so I'll just let everyone continue to misunderstand it. That's fine.
Zhao Xin was very proud, but he didn't expect that he would change his mind and actually kneel down. He raised his chin and signaled to Chai Rugui who was standing at the door, and quickly helped Wang Tan up.
On the other side, Chai Rugui was also very emotional and admired Zhao Xin. When Zhao Xin met Zhao Tingjun just now, Huang Chengji specifically told him about Wang Tan’s kung fu skills and told him to pay attention. So Chai Rugui followed Wang Tan
After entering the door, he stood in the corner and stared at him intently. As long as he dared to make any move, he would immediately pounce on him and subdue him.
Unexpectedly, King Zhao made this man kneel on the ground and kowtow in just a few words. Chai Rugui felt that his boss was worthy of being the true dragon emperor who was destined to be his destiny.
After Wang Tan got up, Zhao Xin gave him a few more instructions. He was told not to leave the army but to work in the secretariat for a while to become familiar with the internal operating system of Beihai Town. It would be best to take this opportunity to bring his family over.
