Minister

2【Six Years of Jiankang】

By the time we rode back to the Hanlin Academy, it was almost dark.Yiqing went to tie the horse in the ear courtyard, and Wei Chi went back to the house alone.Just now Geng Bingwen got drunk and recited a bunch of poems like "journey" and "autumn wind" to him, and said a lot of words about "life" and "magnificence". Drunk, or say these words and say yourself drunk.Anyway, in the end, I was so drunk that I couldn't even help him up. Before he left, he woke up a little from his confusion. "Shaohu" said with red eyes, "I'm sorry..."

I'm sorry...Wei Chi smiled faintly. There were really few people who said this to him. He lightly turned on the stove and sat down in front of the desk.There are still unfinished manuscripts on the table, and these unfinished manuscripts will never be finished.Monan, expedition, can I really do it?I remembered that I used to catch birds with my master on the mountain. I was about to catch them, but I was scared and screamed by the worms on the branches.But he also felt incredible that he, who was scared out of his wits by Xiao Chong, actually came to the capital alone and was awarded Tanhua.I feel very blocked, yes, it is not bad to be an editor of the Imperial Academy, isn't it what I want to not worry about food and clothing?

If King Yan didn't know his secret.

King Yan's habit of breaking his sleeves was mentioned before he entered Beijing, saying that he was over 25 years old but had never married a wife, and raised a large group of sons in the palace. Ambitious, happy to be a comfortable master.Master An Yi?Wei Chi sneered.

If he had known that King Yan had this habit, how could Wei Chi not guard against it?He was not the only one who went to the palace to be a guest that day, and he also went with Mr. Su from the Imperial Academy. Mr. Su brought him just to draw two flowers for him to please the prince.Who would have expected that King Yan really looked at people rather than flowers, and gave him a bear hug from behind in front of all the adults.At the moment of being hugged, Wei Chi felt King Yan's body stiffen, and the hand on his chest exerted a little force - he couldn't see the prince's face, and his heart rose to his throat.

The grown-ups in the room were suddenly speechless - they were shocked.Everyone knew that King Yan was shameless, but they didn't expect it to be so shameless.No matter how bad Wei Chi is, he is still a majestic official of the imperial court. What are you doing here?Besides, although Wei Chi has a modest personality, he is a scholar, how could he bear this...

Wei Chi was also speechless - he was frightened.Everyone said King Yan was shameless, but he didn't expect to be so shameless.When it was over, Wei Chi's face was ashen. King Yan's hand was still where it shouldn't be, but it was obviously frozen.What to say?what to doAh... Wei Chi felt as if he had been splashed on the spot by a basin of ice water...

Yan Wang Chen Ang——this culprit was actually the most frightened... Oh my, Tan Hua Lang... It's actually... It's Tan Hua Niang...

"Master Wei's freehand painting is really good..." Deng Tuzi, the thickest-skinned student, was the first to take a deep breath, "My lords, ahem..."

ah!ah?The elders in the room seemed to come back to their senses all of a sudden, some stood up and said they wanted to go home to approve official documents, some suddenly remembered that there was a poetry meeting, and some suddenly remembered that someone had come from Madam’s natal house... Master Su’s eyes were filled with tears. Tears: "Wei, Mr. Wei, it will be compiled tomorrow, let's go back and have a look?"

"Yes, yes," Wei Chi woke up like a dream and threw down his pen and was about to run away, but found that the person holding him didn't intend to let go.

"Master Su, let's go back alone. When Master Wei finishes the painting, I will send someone to send you back to the Imperial Academy," the cheeky man calmed down completely. After saying such shameless words, he did not forget to exert some force with his hands Threatening.

After hearing these words, Master Su almost vomited blood.Master Ma and Master Zhang hurried over to smooth things over: "Master Su, let's go, the prince has his own arrangement..." Has his own arrangement? ? ?Master Su feels a little dizzy... It's a sin, it's a sin, Master Wei, Master Wei, you are such a big man, with two such long legs... Don't you know how to run? ...This child, isn't he too honest...Master Su is in tears.

In a blink of an eye, the whole room was gone.

Chen Ang turned Wei Chi's face with his backhand: "Miss Wei, please give me an explanation."

Looking back now, Wei Chi had to scold himself for being honest, how could he be so stupid as to explain in his arms... She knew that it was impossible to believe everything she said about King Yan, but the facts were at this point, apart from being honest, there was nothing wrong with him. There is no other way.That day when I stayed at Yanwang Mansion, I was really painting lotus flowers. I couldn't satisfy Chen Ang after a series of paintings. It was not until dawn that there was one that could see people. He lost his brush and fled out of Yanwang Mansion in a hurry.

Half a month later, Chen Ang sent someone to send an invitation.

Entering Yan Wang's study room, I saw that all the paintings drawn that night had been framed, a total of 26 paintings.I was surprised, but I heard the person next to me say quietly: "Since Mr. Wei is looking for peace and happiness, this king will help you, as long as you don't say what you shouldn't say, in three to five years, I will give it to you." This is a chance to retire, if Master Wei agrees, please let me know, and this king will immediately replace all the famous ancient pens in this study with lotus flowers."

"Okay" why not say yes?An Le... Isn't that what I pictured?

Although there have been some gossips in the past two years, they have survived safely.If you don't have the confidence to hide it forever, it's better to get out as soon as possible.But I didn't expect this troublesome Geng Bingwen... Wei Chi scratched his head a little annoyed.It was already dark, and the Hanlin Academy, which was quiet during the day, was even quieter now.The snow didn't know when it stopped, and a thin layer of ice formed on the branches outside the window.Monan, the farther north, the people of Monan, the barbarians on the prairie, never thought... I would be involved in such a thing.Today, I was discussing with Chen Ang how to avoid this disaster.Malingering?Play crazy?Do you want to play dumb?Chen Ang laughed at her childishness, and it was not Wei Chi's turn to pretend that she wanted to pretend. Didn't the emperor want to test it?Tomorrow, of course someone from Chen will go to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace...

However, this was actually Bingwen's idea, and Wei Chi seemed to be on fire in his heart.

After tying up the horse, Yiqing was about to go into the courtyard to help Wei Chi change his clothes, but he saw Wei Chi sitting in front of the desk with the lights off for more than half an hour.Although Yiqing didn't know what happened, she was also a little anxious.He really likes Master Wei.Unlike other adults, Master Wei is always so approachable, and he is also easy-going to him as a servant.What's more, his master is a well-known child prodigy in the capital!In Yiqing's heart, even the adult's friend, Mr. Geng, can't compare to him.Just after that incident... the other adults in the Hanlin Academy stopped interacting with their own adults.After all, this is the Hanlin Academy, and the schoolboys of each family are all decent people, so naturally no one joked about it.However, he still felt bad, Yiqing felt that his lord must have been wronged!Although the grown-up looks very handsome and even beautiful... But he is definitely not that kind of person!They are all hateful King Yan!The police sent posts every three days... for a while, you want to drink tea, and for a while, you want to enjoy the flowers.My lord is also a good-tempered person, and he doesn't know how to argue.

Yiqing was sitting in the front hall sighing, but saw Wei Chi walking out without his coat on.

"My lord, it's cold... where are you going?"

"Yiqing, get the horse out, I'm going to Yanwang Mansion now."

King Yan's Mansion?Yiqing's eyes were as big as copper bells: "Why are you going to such a place so late?"

that kind of place?Wei Chi felt that this word was used a bit thorny, and couldn't help laughing: "I have something to discuss with King Yan, so you don't need to ask more... and you don't need to go, it seems that it will snow after a while."

Upon hearing this, Yiqing quickly grabbed Wei Chi's hand: "My lord! Please take the villain with you!!" It looked as if he was about to bite King Yan.

Wei Chi patted his head: "Just go, go and lead the horse."

After walking out of the yard, Wei Chi looked back at the place where he had lived for two years. It was so dark that he could only see the outline of the house.He could only bid farewell to this hazy impression.

If I make it back alive...hope I make it back alive!

In the sixth year of Jiankang, in the spring, war broke out on the border of Qi.Emperor Wu decided to send troops to Monan.

Wei Chi unexpectedly entered the third rank and was appointed as the commissioned guard to join the leader!

Chen Ang said meaningfully: "Miss Shaohu... I think I have to go to a monkey show anyway... It can't be done in vain, and I have to ask for some benefits. How about it? Even enter the third level! This king's ability It really is big! You know... I was crying so hard at that time, Miss Wei, don't forget my deep love for you. You will be your leader honestly when you go, and stay away from those dangerous things , the slave family is waiting for you to come back in the capital~"

Nujia...Wei Chi felt goosebumps on his neck.

Chen Ang pretended to shed a few tears, and took out a small dagger from the drawer: "Here, this is for sticking in boots, although you can't even catch a chicken, but with this It’s better than nothing.” Turning around and laying down beside the bed, he took out a bunch of silver needles: “You are good at medicine, these silver needles are specially forged, and each one is different in hardness and softness, this bunch is poisoned, the needles The handle is square, this bundle is not poisoned, and the ring is round...take it.” Another carp pounced on the bed and took out a golden hairpin: “Here, hidden weapon, press here if you have no time to fight back. Idiot! I didn't tell you to press it now! It can only be used once... Hey, forget it, I'll give you another one... Poor my bed cover."

Chen Ang tossed and tossed around for a long time, digging out a lot of evil things from every corner of the dormitory.

"My lord... today you can make me look at you with admiration..."

After thinking for a while, Chen Ang took out a bottle of pills from the base of a pen holder and handed them to Wei Chi: "This medicine is very useful, if you can't help but want to make out with a certain military brother...you won't get pregnant if you eat this... "

Wei Chi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the emperor...

"Alright, alright, thank you, my lord, for your kindness." Quickly interrupted the two hundred and five: "I just need this."

Wei Chi picked up the dagger and picked up the boots.

"Take this." Chen Ang took out a small silver whistle: "This is a pigeon whistle, my pigeons will come every ten days, remember to write me back, half of these pigeons can be intercepted by the emperor... So, write me some kind words."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ang hugged Wei Chi lightly: "Will Mr. Wei not kiss the king?"

"My lord, the soldiers will be ordered in two days... I will leave now."

After Chen Ang personally sent Wei Chi out of the palace, he leaned on the stone lion at the door and cast winks at Wei Chi's back for a long time before he stopped contentedly.

the fourth day of february

army order

The emperor's younger brother Chen Su, king of Qin, served as the governor of the former army, and General Zhaoyi Hu Runzhi served as the general officer.In the rear army, Lord Wang Yunyi, the right servant of the Ministry of War, served as the governor, and Zhaowu General Xue Yi served as the commander-in-chief.Geng Bingwen's uncle, Geng Zhuqiu, served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the rear army, while Wei Chi was incorporated into the rear army as the commissioned guard and leader.

The former army set off for northern Xinjiang on the day when the soldiers were counted.The rear army is scheduled to depart at the end of February.

After the soldiers are counted, they are not allowed to return to their residences, but have to live in the barracks.

Wei Chi was well aware of the strictness of the late emperor's rule of the army, so before going out, he asked Yiqing not to come to see him off.After entering the camp alone, he entered his tent as soon as possible, and was about to take a rest when he heard his junior officer shouting outside: "Wei Shenling, Vice Commander Geng is in front of the tent for questioning!"

Wei Chi hurriedly straightened his clothes and went out of the tent, and made a bow to Geng Zhuqiu.

Geng Zhuqiu didn't speak, but just looked at him carefully. This Wei Chi was not as miserable as the legend said, and he looked like a frail scholar. Since his nephew was entrusted to him, it was convenient good.

"You don't need to be cautious as the leader of Wei, this military camp doesn't have as many etiquettes as that of the Imperial Academy." Geng Zhuqiu stepped back and gave way to a young man behind: "This is Populus euphratica, my subordinate Qian Zong, I will take orders from you from now on If Wei Canling has any doubts, just ask him."

Geng Zhuqiu didn't talk too much, he bowed his hands slightly after speaking and left.

"Mr. Hu Qian doesn't need to be too polite, let's get in and talk," Wei Chi said quickly.

After hearing this, Populus euphratica raised his head and followed Wei Chi into the account.Yang Hulin is a standard Northern Han. He is just 22 years old this year. He used to be Geng Zhuqiu's lieutenant general Qian Zong.

Hu Yanglin was a little surprised when he first saw Wei Chi. He had heard that Wei Chi was born well, but he didn't expect that he was even more beautiful than the girl.

"See Wei Canling"

"You don't need to be so formal. From now on, just call me Shaohu when no one else is around." Knowing Geng Zhuqiu's kindness, Wei Chi didn't want to be unfamiliar with this young man.

"Shao... Shaohu?" Hu Yanglin didn't react for a while

"Hey!" Seeing his blank look, Wei Chi couldn't help but responded with a smile.

Populus euphratica blushed suddenly and squeaked, not knowing what to say

What a stupid person, Wei Chi was too embarrassed to make fun of him again, so he said seriously: "Mr. Hu Qian, I am a civil servant. I am really not familiar with this matter of marching and fighting. I will go to war in half a month. If you want to learn something, you need to rely on President Qian’s guidance.”

Hu Yanglin knew that Vice President Geng's call for him was exactly what he meant.The commissioned guards can lead 3000 people outside the account, and they can serve as second-rank staff officers in the account.This Wei Canling was originally an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he was expected to be a person who stayed in the big tent.It's probably useless to learn bow and arrow, but...Hu Yanglin suddenly remembered something.

"Does Wei Shen know how to ride a horse?"

"Riding a horse? Of course." Most of the officials in the current dynasty rode horses when they went out, and of course I would also "I always ride a horse when I go out."

Hu Yanglin knew that Wei Chi would answer like this, can a walk on the stone road in the capital be called riding? ...The civil servants...

"Wei Shenling, who can ride a horse from the Imperial Academy... is basically not good at riding."

"what?"

Hu Yanglin gave the other party a blank look in his heart, so don't be surprised~ I will definitely make you cry when I go to the teaching field tomorrow!

Early the next morning, Wei Chi came to the teaching ground wearing a short skirt.Populus euphratica had arrived early, holding a yellow horse, which looked thin and thin, not as majestic as the ones he used to ride.

Seeing Wei Chi's dismissive look, Yang Hulin shook his head: "Wei Canling, I will show you the ride first."

After finishing speaking, he jumped on the horse's back, clamped his legs lightly, and the skinny horse galloped forward.The teaching ground is actually a loess dam, and a lot of loess was thrown up when the yellow horse ran.After running around in a blink of an eye, Populus euphratica got off his horse and handed the reins to Wei Chi: "Wei Can take the lead and try."

Wei Chi took over the rein, which was different from the leather rein used before and the hemp rein used in the countryside.After observing the reins, Wei Chi realized that no one helped stabilize the horse.Uh, after barely holding the horse steady, Wei Chi went up tremblingly.

drive!The yellow horse started to run, but it was grayer... After running a lap, Wei Chi came down and returned the reins to Populus euphratica.Hu Yanglin didn't answer, grabbed Wei Chi's hand with his backhand, and rolled up his sleeves all at once.It doesn't matter if it's thin enough, but it's still so white! !It's really good to grab my big black hand... No wonder people in the capital call this Tanhualang a lotus fairy descending to earth.Shaking the slender fingers in front of him, Hu Yanglin said helplessly: "Sir, you can't go to the battlefield like this. If you know how to ride a horse, it doesn't matter if you can ride it, but you have to be steady, fast, and able to stop and go quickly. Can we learn how to ride a horse in the past ten days or so?"

Under the guidance of Populus euphratica, Wei Chi began to learn to ride a horse, to be precise, to learn to ride a horse...
