Chapter 281 The Japanese Return to Japan (Yuanliu) Accident
They said they were going together to "experience", but Gao Pangshi made a temporary arrangement and ordered Liu Wei and Dong Yiyuan to send their two bodyguards directly to his Jianxinzhai Villa in the northwest suburbs of the city.
Instead of going up to the front with them to meet the Gonggun princes.
This approach can be said to be intentional, or it can be said that it is just a slight advance of the original plan.
It is impossible for all the guard servants of more than a thousand people to be brought into the capital, otherwise the censor patrolling the city will definitely make a big fuss about it. For these servants, the normal operation is to send the master's family outside the city gate, and then
According to the pre-planned plan, he settled somewhere on the outskirts of the city. It was unlikely that he would be in danger if he entered the capital with his master. It would be enough to leave at most a dozen good guards to protect him.
When general-level officers like Dong Yiyuan and Liu Wei arrived in Beijing, their escorts would usually live in corresponding Buddhist temples and Taoist temples outside the city. This can almost be said to be a time-honored tradition.
Not only that, the civil and military officials in each province or town often have designated accommodation units. That is, whenever the officials from this province or this military town come to Beijing, their escorts and entourage will stay there every time. It can be said that it is a rule.
Of course, whether it is a Buddhist temple or a Taoist temple, food and accommodation are not provided free of charge. The borrower must pay money, but it is just called sesame oil money in name.
However, this time Dong Yiyuan and Liu Wei were blessed by Gao Pragmatism, who saw that the Xinzhai Courtyard covers an extremely huge area. It is said to be a villa, but in fact it is a very large manor connected by many buildings.
Among them, there are not only the Xiangshan Mi Shinzai main hospital where he stayed and entertained guests during his vacation, the academy area of the Kyoka Craftsman School, the training area used by armed servants from all over the country when they came to the capital for training, and the Kyoka Technology Research Institute adjacent to the Craftsman School.
District and so on.
It can be said that the so-called "Jianxinzhai Courtyard" can now be almost regarded as a satellite city of the capital, with everything it should have. Compared with the main city, it only lacks a city wall.
Yes - if you don't count the "courtyard walls" outside each building complex as city walls.
The training area for armed servants in Jinghua is very large. If necessary, it is not difficult to squeeze in 30,000 people to station and train. However, Gao is also a very cautious person, so the number of armed servants trained here is usually only about 3,000 to 5,000.
——Anyway, when they come to the capital, they usually undergo rotational training and assessment. Usually, a batch will be changed every half a month, and one round of three to five thousand is enough.
But this means that the training area is very empty, and it is not a big deal to house thousands of people of the Second General Soldier to guard the servants. Therefore, since Dong Yiyuan and Liu Wei came with Gao Pragmatic, they were naturally arranged by Gao Pragmatic like this.
I got some light and saved money.
But having said that, they were originally supposed to send the three of them to the city gate, and then go around the city to see the Shinzai Villa. At this time, Gao Pingshi sent them away temporarily, but left more than two hundred of his own guards.
, it was obviously for the Dukes of Gungun who came to greet them - you see, they each brought five hundred people according to the rules, and I even only brought more than two hundred.
If the atmosphere wasn't right today, Gao Pragmatic wouldn't have had to do such a show, but now... it's better to be careful.
The three of them rode horses and arrived in front of the group. The officials in the imperial court had long been accustomed to Gao Qingqing riding more horses than riding cars outside the capital, and no one made a fuss about it anymore.
The ministers in the cabinet, led by Chief Assistant Wang Jiaping, first stepped forward to greet him. Before he could take more than two steps, Gao pragmatically got off his horse skillfully, raised his hands in a haha, and took the initiative to say thank you: "Students come back."
It's just a matter of reporting on the work in Beijing. How dare you work to welcome the princes? It's really a shame. There is absolutely no reason for this."
Gao pragmatically left Beijing not too long ago, less than a year in total, but for some reason, he always felt that Wang Jiaping looked a little older than he did then, and even his back, which had always been straight in the past, was slightly awkward.
hunchback.
However, Wang Jiaping was in good spirits. He raised his hand and returned the salute with a smile, and said loudly: "Rixin's plan to pacify the Japanese is a miracle for the survival of our loyal vassal, and it is the power of God for our court."
He was given a special honor. Although the war and the future are not yet decided, it is not easy to perform a triumphal ceremony, but it is always necessary to go out of the city to greet him. How can you say that it is absolutely unreasonable? It is naturally reasonable. "
This was a small talk that did not require argument. Gao Pragmatic just laughed and waved his hands as if he was not taking it seriously.
After the first assistant finished speaking, as the second assistant, Liang Menglong naturally had to continue: "What Yuan Fu said is true! This time Rixin returned to the capital to report on his work, it was tantamount to a triumph. Why couldn't he come to welcome him? If it hadn't been today
There happens to be a great event in the palace, and I’m afraid the emperor will also come in person..."
He obviously said this on purpose, and Gao Pragmatic was really startled and thought to himself, "Is it possible that I misunderstood that no one from the Supervisor of Ceremonies came today? Didn't the Emperor deliberately hit me?"
"Is there great joy in the palace?" Gao pragmatic asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Liang Menglong said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I am really happy... The Queen gave birth to a dragon son this morning - the dispute over the country can be put to rest!"
Gao pragmatic suddenly opened his eyes and said with great joy: "Oh, unexpectedly...this is such a great joy, and the whole world should celebrate it!"
Wang Jiaping took over the conversation again, smiling from ear to ear as well, and said: "Yes, yes, Lin Lao can see this scene, and we veterans of the two dynasties can finally feel relieved."
When Gao Pingshi heard "veteran from two dynasties", he thought that Wang Jiaping was just talking about himself, but then he thought: Huo, it seems that several cabinet ministers here today are veterans from two dynasties?
It’s true that even his high pragmatism can theoretically be said to be a veteran of the two dynasties - his prince’s accompanying scholar and fake bachelor’s degree are not serious official positions, but in the Ming Dynasty, temporary "missions" are often more important than official positions.
Even more important. Since he also called himself a "minor minister" in front of Emperor Longqing back then, it should naturally count.
If you think about it carefully, Wang Jiaping, Zhao Zhigao and Shen Guanyin were all Jinshi in the second year of Longqing (of course Wang Jiaping was on the northern list, Zhao and Shen were all on the southern list), Zhou Yong was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing, and Liang Menglong has even more amazing qualifications -
— Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing. Speaking of which, these two members of the Shi School were even veterans of three dynasties!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking about this, Gao Pragmatic suddenly felt that it was really time for the Practical School to change its leadership in the cabinet. Look at Liang Menglong, his hair is so white that you can’t even see it.
What's black? Zhou Yong also has a wrinkled face and gray and white hair...
Of course, after thinking about it, Gao Pragmatic had not wasted his time on saving face. At this time, he also said hello to Zhao Zhigao, Shen Yiguan and Zhou Yong.
Zhao Zhigao is a thin old man, as kind and gentle as ever, but his complexion is not very good. The bright red bullfighting uniform is a bit shaken when he wears it. It can be seen that the owner of the suit is much thinner than before.
He didn't speak energetically enough either. He had to stop and take a breath midway through a few pleasantries with Gao Pragmatic, so that Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but advise him to take better care of his health.
This is not a pretense. Gao Pragmatic actually doesn't feel that he has any grudge against Zhao Zhigao. To a certain extent, even if any official of the Xin School is fighting, as long as the issue they are fighting is just the means of governing the world and it has not turned into a personal matter.
In terms of grudges and pragmatism, one would not express anger to the point of wishing the other party to get sick.
It's not that noble, it's simply not necessary.
Now that he knows that there is a great joy in the palace today, Gao Jingshi is no longer so wary of people who have not seen the Chief of Ceremonies before. However, from the perspective of the ministers, since everyone knows about this, of course they all know that they still have to go.
There is work to do - many people have not had time to write their congratulations. They must be submitted to the Supervisor of Ceremonies by tomorrow morning at the latest.
Therefore, although the people who came to greet us today were a large number of people, they seemed unorganized, pragmatic and considerate. They quickly expressed that under such great joy, everyone has something to do, so don't hang around all the time.
I'm spinning myself. And I also appreciate everyone's kindness. I'm really grateful and I don't dare to take it for granted.
Each of the yamen and ministries went over to thank him and said some polite words. Because everyone was really busy, the big scene of greeting him quickly dispersed.
However, the elders did not leave. Instead, at Wang Jiaping's suggestion, they all went to the palace together with Gao Pragmatic - of course they were not going to the harem, but to the cabinet, which was also in the palace.
At this time, Dong Yiyuan and Liu Wei, who had been standing aside for a long time, felt a little embarrassed. They did not have the status to follow the cabinet, and they didn't know what to do now.
Fortunately, Gao pragmatic did not forget them, and even specially waved them over to say hello to several pavilion elders - yes, during the greetings between the officials and Gao pragmatic just now, these two world-famous generals standing next to them,
The officers, the generals, and the generals were each assigned to the first rank of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion (the Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief was of the first rank), and they did not even have the chance to interrupt to say hello.
Laughing to death, the elders of the cabinet are chatting, do you, the "little lackey so-and-so" of the disciples, have the right to speak? At present, among the military officials, only Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang can receive this treatment... Well, maybe Li Rusong also has it
possible.
Perhaps for the sake of being pragmatic, Wang Jiaping took a good look at the two commanders in chief, nodded and said: "Er Cao's trip to Korea this time to fight is considered difficult. Since he came to Beijing to report on his duties, he also gave a detailed account of his military exploits.
, the cabinet will draw up a vote to propose the reward, and ask the emperor to approve it as soon as possible."
Yuan Fu gave instructions personally, and the two of them were naturally very busy and grateful. The other elders, such as Liang Menglong and Zhou Yong, knew that they were all direct descendants of highly pragmatic people, so they also spoke a few words of comfort one after another.
Even Zhao Zhigao praised him casually - Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but doubt after hearing this, thinking that Zhao Zhigao might not know about Dong Yiyuan's defeat in Xianxing, or even know about it, but the matter and the characters were in his mind
I can't match the number.
But it was different when it came to Shen Yiguan. The man first looked at Dong Yiyuan and asked, "Is Peng Xingu working under you?"
Dong Yiyuan admitted embarrassingly, and then said: "There will be no real guilt in this matter..."
"It's good to know." Shen Yiguan interrupted expressionlessly: "Although Gao Ge Lao begged for your favor, it is unheard of to lead to a big defeat because of such a thing. I hope you will be vigilant in the future. Even if you are not punished this time, you will be punished in the future.
Don’t do it again.”
There was obviously something in his words. Although Dong Yiyuan didn't know what the cabinet fight was about, he probably guessed that Shen Yiguan's words meant to accuse Gao Pragmatic of shielding his subordinates. Dong Zongrong was obviously an old commander.
, but for thirty-nine days, I heard sweat dripping from my forehead, and repeatedly expressed that I would definitely remember the teachings of Shen Ge and never do this again in the future.
When they arrived at Liu Wei, Shen Yiguan seemed to be a little interested. After looking at him carefully, he suddenly said with a smile: "He is quite a talented person, but his head is too tall. I heard that your sister has entered the Gaofei?"
But he obviously didn't want Liu Wei to answer, because after asking this question, Shen Yiguan turned directly to Gao Pingshi and asked with a smile: "Mr. Rixin, isn't Mrs. Zunru also so 'superior'?"
There is a saying that Liu Wei is indeed tall, but in terms of height, he is only about two fingers taller than Gao Jinghua. Using Jinghua's calculation method, it is only two or three centimeters.
But he is not only tall, because he has been practicing martial arts for many years, his muscles are far from what Gao Pragmatic can compare to. Although Gao Pragmatic maintains a certain amount of exercise from time to time, his figure can only be said to be well-proportioned, while Liu Wei looks only
It was described as "extremely burly". Standing in front of several senior ministers, he looked like an iron-made King Kong. The visual pressure was a bit exaggerated.
Of course, there is no comparison. In terms of personal strength, even if the six pavilion elders were put together, Liu Wei could take care of him within ten breaths.
Obviously this comparison is meaningless, because even if there is only one Shen Yiguan, people are actually completely ignoring Liu Wei now, and Liu Wei can't say much.
Gao Pingshi knew in his heart that the impression of Liu Xin among the scholars was not very good. In the eyes of the scholars, Liu Xin was not born as a chieftain like Huang Zhiting. She was obviously a Han woman, but she lived in southern Xinjiang like a female chieftain.
The soldiers fought in the war. After the war, they did not live well. Instead of finding a husband to marry and living at home to take care of their husband and children, they became the so-called secretary-general of Jinghua, doing a staff job in the Gao pragmatic mansion.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If you are a man, this is understandable. Being a core staff member in the "Prime Minister's Mansion" is not easy, let alone the county magistrate, the prefect, even if you are a soldier.
You have to be polite. But the problem is that Liu Xin is a woman, which is unacceptable to many people - you are an unmarried woman who has lived in Gao Mansion for a long time, but you are actually Gao Pragmatic's chief staff? You
What exactly do staff members do?
Fortunately, the Liu family is a general, and it is an emerging general with a recent history. Liu Xian made his fortune at the bottom, so although Shilin had some private rumors about Liu Xin, he did not pay too much attention to it.
"The Liu family has only relied on some small efforts in fighting to get where it is today. How much honor is it to be able to send their daughter to the family of the Practical Learning Sect, Gaoge Lao, who was born in the Sixth Number One Scholar? What is Liu's status?
Of course I can’t take care of my family.”
In fact, this was the reason why Liu Xian was so brooding about this when he passed away. And it was precisely because Liu Xin knew that her father would never live in peace about this that she gave up her previous insistence on not marrying and finally gave Liu Jiajia justice.
name.
Although she was not the main wife, Shilin believed that this was the right thing to do, because in their minds, the Gao and Liu families thought that it was definitely inappropriate for her.
It stands to reason that the matter would be over at this point, but Shen Guanyi made a joke about it today, which was a bit beyond Gao Pragmatic's expectations.
If you call me "Brother Rixin", it's not harmful to make a joke like this. But if you call me "Brother Rixin", is it appropriate to make such a joke?
