Emperor's Trophy

When the prisoners are escorted, they walk slowly.Especially in Yunzhen's heart, he was more and more thinking that it would be better to get to the capital slowly.One is that Yunzhen has never been outside the capital to see the world outside the capital for several generations. Now that it is rare to come out, he can’t help but walk around and ask every where. There are quite a few words, and the guilty conscience is that he took the risk without authorization. He clearly saw that it was wrong, and he still wanted to take the risk. Thinking about it, he knew that the emperor must be very angry.

In short, it would be better to return to the capital a little later, he recalled, and after a few more days of delay, the emperor should go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens, so it will be delayed for another month, and when the emperor returns, he should forget about it It's almost there.

He had a very good idea. During the day, he would stop and go with Zhu Jiang, and at night Zhu Jiang would accompany him to catch up with homework. Zhu Jiang was good at having fun, talking and laughing along the way, it was very comfortable, but it was a pity that Yun Zhen He wanted to walk more, but Gao Xin came to meet him in person.

When Yun Zhen saw Gao Xin came out with a group of people and came to salute him, he just thought he was out on business, so he just smiled and asked, "Where is Commander Gao going on business?"

Gao Xin said with a smile: "The emperor is going to Mount Tai to worship the heavens, and he wants to take Lord Hou with him. Because he calculated the time and feared that Lord Hou would escort the prisoner and waste time, he specially ordered a low-level official to come to meet Lord Hou. You will hand over the prisoner to me." Don’t worry about the guards coming, I will accompany Master Hou and Zhu Wuzi back to Beijing as soon as possible.”

Yun Zhen was stunned, Zhu Jiang was overjoyed and said: "It's such an honor to be able to accompany the emperor to sacrifice to heaven!"

Gao Xin smiled and said, "That's right, if the ministers of the court can accompany you, they are all important ministers of the court."

Yun Zhen's laziness was shattered again, so he ordered someone to hand over the prisoner, and returned to Beijing with Gao Xin's car.

Sure enough, he returned to the capital in a few days. When Ji Bingyuan saw him coming back, he asked first that he was not injured, so he was relieved. He left Yun Zhen and Zhu Jiang to eat together, and said to Yun Zhen: "You are acting too much. Hasty and aggressive, I know you want to make meritorious service, let me give you a job, but the main general, you should not be so rash, you really need to practice, I have thought about it, after Taishan returns, you go to the Xishan camp As a lieutenant general, learn how to deploy troops and plan strategies."

Xishan Camp!That's the real Beijing camp!Yun Zhen asked: "Then you don't have to go to the study anymore?" Naturally, you have to live with the soldiers in the barracks, so it is impossible to go to the palace to study.

Ding Dai couldn't help laughing at the side: "Your Majesty guessed correctly, and when he said he was going to Xishan Camp, Lord Hou must be happy that he doesn't need to study."

Yun Zhen heheed twice.

Ji Bingyuan said: "The king of Xunyang County will give a marriage right away, and then he will not enter the palace to study, Huai Su and Huai Sheng will also be sent out to run errands, and only a few younger ones will be left in the palace. The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are teaching, you can’t read it anyway, so it’s better not to make the bachelors have a headache.”

Yun Zhen was overjoyed: "That's great, Your Majesty, you are really far-sighted, and you can't be wiser than you."

Ji Bingyuan laughed: "Grand scholars can't teach, so I have to teach myself."

Yun Zhen was shocked: "What?!"

Ji Bingyuan nodded: "Every day there is a large-character piece, and every month there is an article on the policy. I have to read it. Every month, I will send a special envoy to collect it. I can't do without a day."

Yun Zhen was dumbfounded, and Ji Bingyuan saw him amused: "Why, I'm not worthy to teach you? Or should I not discipline you?"

Yun Zhen forced a smile: "How can it be, your majesty is extremely knowledgeable, and you have more than enough teaching ministers, and you are the elders of the ministers, you should discipline the ministers, and even the ministers are rotten trees..."

The corner of Ji Bingyuan's mouth curled up: "Don't underestimate yourself like this, that's enough, this is your reward for this errand, let's see what you can reward Zhu Wu."

Zhu Jiang looked up, flattered: "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything this time, so I dare not ask for rewards."

Ji Bingyuan said: "It's time to reward, Ji Huaisu and Ji Huaisheng have all rewarded, and Ji Xianger has to go to the Xishan Camp as he wished, how about you? I saw the meaning of Duke Ding before, and wanted to find you a background as an imperial guard. In a few years, when I get married, my daughter-in-law is also good-looking."

But Zhu Jiang got up suddenly and came out, knelt down on both knees and said: "I want to serve in the frontier army, I ask the emperor for permission."

Ji Bingyuan was stunned, and even Yunzhen was stunned and looked at Zhu Jiang. Before, Zhu Jiang was joking and playing with him every day, and never mentioned this idea at all. What kind of style is this?Does he know what frontier army means?

Zhu Jiang said: "I was confused before, but I went out with the two clan sons and Marquis Zhaoxin for a walk these days, and I also felt that I was a little confused, so I thought about it seriously. After the reform of the military system, There is an urgent shortage of generals in the important towns on the nine borders, and I come from a family of generals, so I kindly ask you to serve in the frontier army."

Ji Bingyuan looked down at him: "Zhu Jiang, do you know what kind of hardship it will be to guard the border? The generals guarding the border have a heavy responsibility. Most of them can only take their family members with them. They may not return for several years or even their entire lives. Beijing is here, you are not yet married, and Ding Guogong is old, and you still need to serve in front of the court to fulfill your filial piety, I can't accept this matter lightly, you should go back and report to your grandfather, your family is good."

Zhu Jiang said: "I am not the eldest son or grandson. I don't need to inherit the family business. There are other brothers in Gaotang who are filial. My grandfather's bravery in calming the world in the past, I am willing to follow the example and serve the people of the king. As for the elders in the family, I went back to persuade them, but I ask the emperor for permission." After speaking, he knocked his head a few times, as if he was sincerely going to defend the border.

Ji Bingyuan ordered someone to help him up, but he changed his opinion of this dude a little bit: "Get up, since that's the case, you go back to the mansion first, and I will reward you with some gold and silver to go back. If you go out once, you should also go back to Dingguo To be filial to the public, since you have this ambition, you should report it to your elders."

Zhu Jiang showed joy on her face, glanced at Yunzhen, and kowtowed down.

Yun Zhen was confused by Zhu Jiang's appearance: "Zhu Jiang went out once, and his head is convulsed? Frontier general! There is no place to eat, drink and have fun in the border town. If he really goes, will he be gone in a few days? Crying and begging to come back to me to talk to the emperor about your love." But he was a little worried that Zhu Jiang was hot-blooded for a while, and regretted it after a few days, so he simply lays the groundwork here at Ji Bingyuan to save a few days I want to intercede for him and withdraw it, can the emperor talk nonsense in front of him?Besides, he didn't discuss it with himself before, Yun Zhen was completely at a loss.

Ji Bingyuan smiled and looked at Yun Zhen in a daze: "Maybe he found that you are all very promising, and he also has ambition."

He nodded and sighed again: "Originally, the descendants of these heroes' families, it is best to join the army. After a few years of defense, they hold the frontier army in their hands. It is very easy to earn merits. But most of these meritorious deeds The descendants of the family are just resting on the glory of their ancestors to be the second generation ancestor. It is rare that there is one who is willing to be a guard and eat the wind and eat dirt. He is very strong, but if the old man Ding Guogong comes to me to beg, I will also be Don't forgive the crime of harshly treating the descendants of heroes, let's see how he can convince his family."

Yun Zhen was a little bored, Ji Bingyuan saw that he was not energetic, so he ordered someone: "Go and get the fragrance lotion I made a few days ago, and bring it back to the mansion for Lord Hou, and I will see you in the palace tomorrow, I know Now you just want to ask what Zhu Jiang thinks, right?"

Yun Zhen was a little embarrassed: "Originally when I came back, I should accompany you to talk about the outside affairs, let's leave him alone, and I will talk to the emperor."

Ji Bingyuan smiled: "I'm busy, and the envoys outside are still waiting for me. When you say no, why bother to see you hanging here, what's the point."

Seeing that a court lady came over with a fragrant dew, Yun Zhen took the fragrant dew, but felt a burst of fragrance from the maid's body, straight to his nose, he couldn't help sneezing, and hurriedly covered it with a handkerchief, This was disrespectful and disrespectful, he blushed slightly and looked at Ji Bingyuan.

Ji Bingyuan waved his hand and said: "It's all right, don't look at me, you have lost your dignity in front of me, go back."

Yun Zhen quickly thanked him and went on.

The hall was quiet again, and Tingting, the maid holding the incense, took a few steps back, the fragrance on her body became stronger and stronger.

Ji Bingyuan smelled the fragrance and looked up at the maid.

The maid was startled, a cloud of clouds floated on her face.

Ji Bingyuan lowered her eyelashes, her face was expressionless, and the maid was a little nervous about the glance that seemed to sweep her internal organs, but she still lowered her head slightly and backed out.

But Ji Bingyuan asked Ding Dai: "What's the name of the servant girl just now?"

Ding Dai held his breath and said in a low voice: "Zhaoxia, who entered the palace three years ago, is from Hechuan, a son of a good family."

Ji Bingyuan said lightly: "Sent out of the palace, from now on you will not be allowed to serve in the palace."

Ding Dai bent down deeply: "The servant obeys the order." But he sighed deeply in his heart.

But Ji Bingyuan thought about it again and said: "Pay attention to Dingguo's mansion. Why does Zhu Wuhao suddenly want to join the army? Is there something wrong at home?"

Ding Dai replied yes again, and didn't mention it when he went down.
