Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

Now the rumors are all over the palace, Xue Shu got up quickly, but also ended quickly.After offending His Majesty, he was given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Who else in this palace doesn't know that His Royal Highness doesn't like Xue Shu?

Let’s just say that during the days when Xue Shu arrived at Ciqing Palace, he didn’t do much serious business. He just served tea and water to His Highness the Crown Prince and did some chores all day long.Yesterday, someone even saw him wash His Highness the Prince's feet with water!

In the past, the eunuch who was in charge of walking in front of the imperial court and calling the wind and rain, now in the Ciqing Palace, is not even as good as the lowest eunuch!

The rumors are rampant, and it's no wonder that the people who worked under Xue Shu's previous work have their minds fluttering.

Xue Shu had expected this to happen a long time ago: "Don't worry, don't pay attention to those who are restless, just watch."

The most taboo thing in this palace is to vote against the master. This kind of person who is always in a hurry, he doesn't need to take care of it, and he will have to suffer in the future.

"As for you and Cui Ci, if you have the ability, just climb up. Our family has other business to do, and sooner or later you will have to take the top."

Seeing his calm posture, Wei Xihe knew that he must have a plan in mind.And he was different from others, he had seen His Highness the Crown Prince get along with Xue Shu when he was in Tianjin Wei, those rumors outside were probably just rumors.

"The minister can save it."

Wei Xihe saluted, then turned and left.

When Yin Chengyu returned to Hongren Hall, he saw the Qiu Wei list on the table.

Qiuwei had released the list in September, and he was thinking that Xie Yunchuan would also participate in Qiuwei this year, so he asked someone to send a copy of the list after the list was released.

He unfolded the list and only looked at the first name, and sure enough, Xie Yunchuan's name was at the first place—it was Jie Yuan.

It seems that the previous Sun family case did not affect his preparation for the exam, and the direction is still the same as in the previous life.

If there is no accident, next year's Chunwei, Xie Yunchuan will win the first prize in one fell swoop, and will be selected as the champion in the palace examination.

After that, he entered the Imperial Academy as a matter of course, and served as the editor of the Imperial Academy and commented on politics.Later, because of Longfeng's outstanding performance in the "Tongzhou Surprise Change" in the winter of 20 years, he ended his "observation of politics" and joined the Ministry of Rites as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites in only two years.Later, he performed very well in the Ministry of Rites. He was promoted to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and became the confidant of the chief assistant Shao Tian.

He was the youngest cabinet minister at that time, and he was unparalleled in the limelight.Both North Korean and Chinese officials said that Shao Tian intended to train him to be his successor.

But later Yin Chengyu returned to the palace to face the court. In order to get rid of Shao Tian and his henchmen, it took several twists and turns to find out that Xie Yunchuan had a blood feud with Shao Tian.He endured humiliation for many years, and even became Shao Tian's favorite student and right-hand man, just for the convenience of revenge.

It took him a lot of effort back then to dispel Xie Yunchuan's suspicion, and to join hands with him to get rid of Shao Tian's serious trouble.

If it hadn't been for Shao Tian's fall and the absence of the most powerful pillar, Concubine Wen Gui and Yin Chengzhang would not have made frequent foolish moves and been wiped out by him in one fell swoop.

Xie Yunchuan was a close friend and a good minister to him.

Thinking of Xie Yunchuan's blood feud, Yin Chengyu thought for a moment, and decided to send someone to watch secretly. There are too many variables in this life, and he doesn't want Xie Yunchuan to be affected.

He subconsciously wanted someone to tell Xue Shu to come, but stopped before he could speak.

In the previous life, Xue Shu and Xie Yunchuan disliked each other, they confronted each other repeatedly, and almost fought each other many times.If it wasn't for him to press down on them, these two people might be enemies of life and death.

When the two meet in this life, there is no guarantee that there will be no more enmity.Thinking of Xue Shu's extremely strong jealousy, Yin Chengyu pinched the center of his brows with a headache, and finally someone sent Zhao Lin over.

……

Xue Shu was delayed for a while on the way, and when he was walking in front of Hongren Hall, he happened to bump into Zhao Lin who was going out.

Zhao Lin is not only responsible for the defense of the East Palace, but also has a team of spies secretly trained in his hands.

But since he took control of Xichang, Yin Chengyu would not normally call Zhao Lin, and left most of the matters to him and the Xichang fan servants.According to Xue Shu's experience, whenever Yin Chengyu used Zhao Lin, there must be something to avoid him.

Xue Shu's eyes flickered slightly, and he stopped to say hello to Zhao Lin: "What is Commander Zhao doing here? But His Highness has an errand to order?"

Zhao Lin and Zheng Duobao were the only people in the East Palace who knew that Xue Shu was the prince's confidant.Therefore, he did not set up defenses against Xue Shu, nodded and said: "Exactly."

"Is there enough manpower? Didn't Commander Zhao say last time that the spies under his command should not be used, and did he want to transfer some from the West Factory?" Xue Shu casually chatted.

"It's just a scholar, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer?" Zhao Lin said cheerfully, "I'll go pick someone from your place next time."

After speaking, he cupped his fists towards Xue Shu and walked out.

Xue Shu looked at his back, his face darkened bit by bit.

Scholar?

When he hadn't recalled his previous life before, he didn't understand why His Highness suddenly cared about the few scholars involved in the Sun family case.

Now that he remembered everything, he naturally knew that it was all for Xie Yunchuan!

It's Xie Yunchuan again!

In the previous life, it wasn't enough for him to stir up trouble with His Highness, but in this life, his ghost still lingers.

There was hostility in Xue Shu's eyes, and when he thought of the opportunity he missed earlier, his heart became more and more depressed.If he thought about it earlier, he would have been able to take care of people in the prison without anyone noticing, and he could have thrown the blame on Gao Yuan. How could His Highness have the chance to see this black-hearted old fox again? !

He stood outside the door for a while, suppressing the anger and jealousy in his heart, before walking into Hongren Hall.

Yin Chengyu sat behind the desk and was reviewing the documents.Hearing the movement, he raised his eyes to look at him, then pointed to the inkstone: "It's just in time, come here to sharpen Gu's ink."

Xue Shu pursed his lips, walked to his side, held the ink ingot and circled it on the inkstone.

He moved very lightly, without showing any emotion.Only a pair of gloomy eyes, covered by eyelashes, looked at Yin Chengyu deeply.

The past events of the old man brought back the violence hidden deep in his heart.

It's just that at this moment, he doesn't even have the position to ask a question, he can only hold his breath secretly, and treat the ink ingot as Xie Yunchuan, and grind it a little bit.

Yin Chengyu didn't notice the undercurrents around him, so he spread out the booklet sent by the Ministry of Rites, and motioned him to read: "Just now, the Ministry of Rites sent the regulations for the winter hunting of the red rhinoceros. They will send envoys to participate in the winter hunting."

The ancient emperors searched for seedlings in summer and hunted in autumn and winter; they went out to the suburbs at four o'clock to show their power to the world. [1]

Dayan has had the tradition of hunting in winter since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The Red Rhinoceros Winter Hunting is held every three years at the Dan Rhinoceros Paddock in Beiping Prefecture.At that time, surrounding tribes such as Oala and Tatar will send envoys to participate in this grand event.And Dayan will send the most elite troops to stage a military exercise in the Danxi paddock.

It is not only for training elite soldiers, but also for deterring neighbors with force and demonstrating the prestige of a great power.

At this time in the previous life, Yin Chengyu was being imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum, so naturally he never participated in the winter hunting of Danrhinoceros.But he knew that the results of the winter hunting of the red rhinoceros in the last life were not very good - after the founding of the country, Dayan has always followed the Taizu's policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, so that good generals are hard to find.And the nobles are pampered even more, and have long lost the blood of their ancestors.Not to mention that the forbidden army has not responded to the enemy for a long time, and the atmosphere is tired and lazy.

Many factors have accumulated, so that Longfeng's 18-year winter hunting of Danxi not only failed to deter the countries as expected, but also lost face.

As the host, Dayan, not only did not get the first place in the red rhinoceros winter hunt, Emperor Longfeng even almost died when he was chasing an eye-catching white-fronted tiger.At that time, it was in the middle of hunting, and all the forbidden troops dispatched to rescue him, and even the envoys of Tatar and Oala heard about it.

Afterwards, the hunting was over, and when the results were calculated, Tatar and Wala took one or two places, while Dayan only came in third.

This year's winter hunting of Dan rhinoceros ended hastily, Emperor Longfeng was shocked and lost face, returned to Beijing early, and did not allow anyone to mention the matter of winter hunting of Dan rhinoceros again.

But the Tatars and Wala got a glimpse of Dayan's weakness. In the winter of the 20th year of Longfeng, the Tatars defeated Wala, and then sent troops south to Tongzhou.Along the way, they harassed 38 prefectures in Shiwei, killing and plundering more than 2 people, looting more than [-] million cattle, horses and miscellaneous livestock. [[-]]

It is called "Tongzhou Surprise".

At that time, Dayan's national treasury was empty, and because of the spread of pimple plague, the people died and the army was greatly reduced.So that when the Tatars led their troops to Tongzhou, the combined strength of the capital was only [-] to [-] old, weak, sick and disabled.There is no way to resist the Tatar cavalry, so they can only let it be plundered.

Later, Yin Chengyu read the records of "Tongzhou's shocking change" and wrote "Tatars plundered village residents, burned huts, and the fire continued day and night", "Plundered men, women and livestock, gold and silk property, full of ambition, bundled away." [3]

Dayan has a vast territory, and the border frictions have been constant year after year.But such a fiasco with no power to fight back like the "Tongzhou Surprise" is unprecedented.

After Yin Chengyu ascended the throne in the previous life, his greatest ambition was to conquer the northern tribes one day, and to be ashamed.

It's a pity that the previous life was delayed for five years. By the time he ascended the throne, Dayan was already riddled with holes.For three years, he has slept long and late at night, but he just made up a bigger hole to make the people's lives more stable and peaceful.Although the northern tribes did not dare to invade again, the invasion still persisted.

Swinging the army north to the end is just an ambition that has not been put into words.

Yin Chengyu looked at the Tatar envoy "Aharu" mentioned in the brochure, his eyes sank a little bit - it was Aharu who led troops to invade Dayan in the previous life.

"Dayan is short of good generals, this winter hunt for the red rhinoceros, I just want He Shan and Ying Hongxue to participate."

Ying Hongxue is good at planning, and He Shan is brave, they are rare good generals.

With the lessons learned from the previous life, even if no one knows about it, Yin Chengyu must wash away his humiliation in this winter hunting of red rhinoceros, and at the same time deter the Tatars so that they dare not send troops easily again.

Xue Shu had no objection to this, but said: "Sister and brother-in-law should not refuse."

Yin Chengyu thought the same way, he crossed out the names of the two noble children, and added the names of He Shan and Ying Hongxue.

On November [-]th, everything was properly arranged, and Emperor Longfeng led his ministers to Danxi Palace.

The Danxi Palace is built in the northeast of Beiping Prefecture, with the Danxi Paddock on the back.

After traveling for three days, the lengthy winter hunting team arrived at the palace.Emperor Longfeng used the excuse of training the crown prince, and did not interfere with the arrangement of the winter hunting at all. All matters were negotiated between Yin Chengyu and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

Now in the palace, Emperor Longfeng and all his concubines have already rested and played in the palace, even the officials and family members have already rested, preparing for the winter hunting two days later.Only Yin Chengyu was not allowed to rest. He not only had to watch the palace fortification, but also supervised the drills, and had to deal with unexpected problems from various ministries from time to time.

When I was finally able to rest and catch my breath, it was already the night before the start of winter hunting.

Yin Chengyu came out of the study and went to rest in the bedroom, with tiredness that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Xue Shu followed him, seeing the situation, said: "I heard that the hot spring in the palace can help people relieve fatigue, may your Highness try it?"

Yin Chengyu's footsteps paused slightly, and his heart was moved by what he said. He didn't hesitate too much, so he walked towards the hot spring pool. He glanced sideways at Xue Shu and said, "Go and get Gu's clothes, just take them away." The bottom one."

The author has something to say:

People who eat melons: Xue Shu has fallen out of favor!He is only worthy of serving His Highness the Prince's footwashing water!

Big Dog Gou: Alright, I will give Your Highness a bath tonight!
