At what point... He sighed angrily, and then hummed softly: "Huh, I, Wang Shikun, at least studied seriously back then, and I have a good foundation. Last time I went to help you deliver a letter to Xie Da Sicheng, he said
After asking me a few questions, you can naturally tell that I have talents and talents. Is it strange that people lend me a few books every now and then?"
"Oh, it's nothing strange." Xu Xun originally asked Wang Shikun to deliver the letter just to let him build relationships. He never expected that the first young man in Jinling could actually do this. He was naturally only happy, but at this time, he was talking
The young master joked, "Then what are you going to do after you borrow the book? Are you going to go to the Imperial Academy and study hard, or are you going to become a disciple of Master Xie and go to the imperial examination to show off your glory?"
"Bah, bah, bah, how old am I? Am I not crazy to pick up stereotypes at this time? Humph, I told Xie Da Sicheng in an upright manner that as long as I really learn some knowledge and principles, I am not going to study stereotypes.
, the old gentleman praised me for not having any profit intentions, and even pointed out what books I should read. As for the Imperial College, I am not like Xu Xu who only seeks a future, studying hard and striving for the top. I am used to being free and don't want to suffer.
That's a living sin. Now that the relationship has been sorted out, if I have a son in the future, how can I become a great scholar and become a famous teacher, win the top prize and come back to honor my ancestors, right?"
puff
Xu Xun was drinking tea while listening to the lecture. When he heard the last sentence, he finally couldn't help it. He sprayed a mouthful of tea far away, and then he choked and coughed repeatedly. He finally stopped coughing, and he
Putting down the tea cup, he pointed at Wang Shikun and said: "You, your fate...if Xie Da Sicheng hears what you say, won't he be so angry that he blows his beard and stares?"
"You think I'm stupid, I should say this more tactfully. I sincerely say to Xie Da Sicheng that I only regret that I didn't meet a famous teacher when I was young, and only met some bad friends. I hope to be my master in the future.
When you have children, you can have a great Confucian like Xie Da Sicheng to teach you. Although the old gentleman did not say yes or no, he has already [Baidu Post First] submitted letters to become an official twice. The worst he can do in the future is to return to his hometown.
, I took my son to his hometown to pay homage to him!"
"My eldest son, I really admire you!"
Facing the confident Wang Shikun, Xu Xun, who was both angry and funny, said he was willing to give up, but he knew in his heart that if Wang Shikun didn't have two real brushes, he would definitely not be able to impress the North Supervisor. This is Wang Shikun's own business.
, there was no need for him to inquire deeply, as soon as the gossip was over, he got to the point.
"I came here today to ask you something, Brother Wang. I think you have already heard about today's grand parade in the Xiyuan Campus. Although I was also the commander before, now I have added a palm print.
Your title is much more legitimate than before. Moreover, with the foundation of those five hundred people, it will be easier to get started. What I want to ask you is, I remember that you have the title of Hundred Households, are you willing to do so?
Transferred to the vanguard of the government army?"
Wang Shikun was stunned when he heard this. With the title of the first young man in Jinling, he could be rampant in Nanjing for a while, but who among the real upper-class people would think highly of him? He went all the way for an unrelated Duke Dingguo.
He followed Xu Xun to Beijing, naturally just to gamble on his luck. Now it seems that he is very lucky. Even the prince has seen it, not to mention that he used several articles he wrote when he was young and his sincerity
Xie Feng was moved. However, he knew very well that he could not have the determination to endure the imperial examination for more than ten years and start the imperial examination from scratch, so he joked about his son who didn't even have a horoscope.
Therefore, Xu Xun's proposal to be transferred to the front of the government army turned out to be a shortcut! It was easy to board Xu Xun's ship, but with his three-legged cat-like skills, it was better not to sink other people's ships!
After thinking about it, he simply spread his hands and said: "Brother Xu, to tell you the truth, I really want to agree to your suggestion, but I have to tell you that when I was a child, I worked with the nanny at home.
The court servant has learned how to fool people with both hands, but if we really want to fight, I will be miserable. I can ride a horse well, and I can draw a bow, but my accuracy is not very good. I can't get ahead in the imperial examination for ten or eight years, but when it comes to martial arts training
, I can’t practice even after ten or eight years! If I hold you back by then, I will die!”
If Wang Shikun agreed without saying a word, Xu Xun would have to weigh it carefully. But when Wang Shikun said such words, he couldn't help but feel that his friend was not wrong, so he smiled and said: "Since you said this,
Come on, you obviously treat me as a friend! I'm not afraid to tell you that I myself am not good at bow and horse martial arts, but military training is different from martial arts training. In three or two years, I am still confident that I can practice two brushes.
Let me tell you this, once the name of the prince's retinue, who is the vanguard of the imperial army, is mentioned, many nobles will be moved.
But now we can't let them block people wantonly, I have to build some momentum. If you, the brother-in-law of Wei Guogong, don't come to suffer a little and let Liu Ren retreat, how can I establish my authority?"
"Ah, I dare you to plan on pulling up a tiger skin to make a big banner!" Wang Shikun suddenly realized that he had slapped his head, and then he understood. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded readily, "Well, since you said so,
I will listen to you. Who wants your head to be always good? How can there be no benefit from hanging around with you? But if you want to establish your authority, you won't just attack me?"
"Of course! Besides you, I have to bring someone else with me. In this way, you can come to my house the afternoon after tomorrow!"
After making an appointment with Wang Shikun, Xu Xun sat for a while, then left the garden of Wei Guogong's mansion, and immediately went straight to Dingguogong's mansion on Dingfu Street.
A few months later, he inherited the title of Duke of Dingguo and is now observing filial piety at home. But after July 7th, the rules of not seeing outsiders and so on were naturally forgotten.
At this time, Xu Xun came to see him at night. As soon as the report came outside, Xu Guangzuo immediately ordered people to be invited to the study. As they met, Xu Guangzuo couldn't help but praise Xu Xun's brilliant performance during the review in Xiyuan today.
Three of the first five hundred households under Xu Xun were recommended by Xu Guangzuo, so he did not intend to be humble in front of this person. He straight to the point stated the purpose of his visit: "Dong Guo, now I have taken over the palm of the avant-garde of the government army.
, the remaining soldiers have to be gradually organized and trained. These teams were not enough before, and the military ranks were too low. Now no one will doubt the name of the Donggong retinue of the government army's avant-garde, so in the past few days, I can't think of anything.
All young and noble people will be moved."
"What you mean is, let me appoint Duke Xu's family..." Xu Guangzuo came out. When he tested it, he saw that Xu Xun smiled but did not answer. His heart was as bright as a bright mirror, and he immediately slapped his thigh without saying anything.
, "I will definitely not let anyone in the Dingguo Palace do this. In this way, my eldest son is too big, and he is also eye-catching as the heir apparent. My second son is exactly sixteen years old, and he is in good condition to be tempered in the army.
Moreover, with Brother Xu’s methods of managing the army, please give me a good training and discipline for this boy.”
At this point, he didn't care that Xu Xun had not yet agreed. He quickly walked to the door and shouted: "Come here, call the second young master quickly!"
Not long after, a respectful voice came from outside: "Master, would you like to call your son?"
Xu Guangzuo glanced at Xu Xun and was very satisfied with the well-behaved son outside. He immediately called someone in. Xu Xun who was sitting there saw a young man about his own age. He was probably wearing a plain satin because he was meeting a guest.
He was wearing a big coat, a silver crown and a pair of deerskin boots. He looked quite heroic. After the young man saluted Xu Guangzuo, Xu Guangzuo smiled and pointed at Xu Xun and said: "This is the prince of Xing'an, who leads the army."
Avant-garde palm print...Well, just call me Uncle Xu...Brother Xu, this is my second son Xu Yanche."
Uncle Xu!
At this moment, not to mention Xu Xun was shocked, even Xu Yanche was dumbfounded. But after the latter glanced at his father, he bowed to the ground honestly. However, before his uncle could say anything, he was struck by Xu Xun.
He helped him up.
"Don't listen to your father. If you really call me uncle, I won't be able to sit still." Xu Xunfu turned around and sat down again, then looked at Xu Guangzuo and said, "Okay, you can invite the second young master to come to my house in the future.
There are some things I have to give you instructions first. After all, this matter has to go through the Ministry of War first."
"well."
Xu Yanche didn't know what scene his father was acting in calling him out to meet the guests this late. Seeing that his father didn't let him go, he simply stood aside, looking at his father and then at Xu Xun, and his ears stood up.
He got up and listened to the conversation between the two. When he finally understood the meaning, he couldn't help being even more surprised. It wasn't until he saw Xu Xun going out and saw the people getting on their horses and leaving that he hurriedly walked to Xu Guangzuo and asked: "Master
, you want to send me to the vanguard of the government army?"
"Why, you're not happy?" Xu Guangzuo glanced sideways at his son and said solemnly, "I know what your mother means, she wants to be like your uncle. You have already [Baidu Post First Release] got the title of Honored Guard
First of all, it is easy to fill a hundred households in two days, but these idle positions are not as good as the vanguard of the government army! Now the vanguard of the government army is the East Palace retinue, and the chance of showing up in front of His Highness is huge. If you miss this village, you will not have that.
store! If Xu Xun and I hadn't formed a good relationship, would this good thing have been our turn first?"
Of course Xu Guangzuo would not know that it was not his turn to be the first to do this, and Xu Xun had left Dingfu Street at this time, but still did not return home, but rode straight forward again. Even if there were soldiers in the capital at night,
Ma Si's people were patrolling, and it was not peaceful at first, but Xu Xun went to places where the powerful lived, so naturally he encountered only soldiers and no thieves. At this time, he stopped in front of a large house again, at the west corner gate.
I knocked on the door and announced my name. After a while, the closed door suddenly opened. In addition to two concierges carrying lanterns, there was also a man who looked like a steward.
"I didn't know it was the Crown Prince who came here, but I was really neglecting him."
