Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 387
On the border of Xuzhou, an army was passing through Xuzhou City, but did not enter the city, but passed around the city and continued to go south.

This army has strict military discipline and neat lines, and it can be seen at a glance that it is an elite army.

Under normal circumstances, when there is an army passing by, the local government strictly guards against it, and treats the imperial court officers and soldiers like thieves.Rather be impeached, the local officials will not let the army into the city.Naturally, the people would also stay away from the army.

However, this time, the people of Xuzhou went out of the city one after another and stopped to watch.

Because they knew that the army in front of them would never disturb the people.Because this is the imperial forest army that defeated 10,000+ Jianlu!
"Did you see that, this army looks like an elite one at a glance, no wonder it can defeat the invincible Jianlu!"

"I heard that the leader of the army is Uncle Zhongwu. I don't know if there is any fate to see what kind of character it is?"

"That must be someone like Changshan Zhao Zilong, otherwise it would be impossible for him to conquer the north and south and make great contributions!"

"Old Liu, I heard that your nephew is under Uncle Zhongwu's command. Have you seen him?"

"I'm looking for this. I didn't expect that I used to be a water worker, but now I am a small flag in the army. It is said that my brother-in-law's family is enjoying the blessings in the capital, and I can go to the bank every month to get money. People who come to talk about marriage are also queuing up." Already!"

"Really? This is really unpredictable. I didn't expect your nephew to be so promising!"

"..."

Among the discussions, many people were looking for acquaintances in the army.

When the Yongwei Battalion was transferred back to Beijing, many recruits were recruited from the water workers along the canal.

At that time, I joined the army only because of the disaster along the canal and I couldn't survive.

Unexpectedly, the martial artist who has always been disliked by others thought he was going to be cannon fodder, but he was surprised. Not only the salary has been improved a lot, the capital has a house, the army is paid in full and on time, and he can even defeat Jianlu and establish a All military exploits have been fulfilled.

When the news spread, the relatives and friends of the water worker, the neighbors who had known him before, were very envious.

Now that I heard that the Beijing camp went south and passed through Xuzhou, many people came here to watch and see it.

Seeing such a lively scene, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who were riding on horseback, couldn't help feeling very moved.

Although both of them have strict military discipline, they did not harm the common people like other thieves.However, after all, they are under the name of thieves.If they don't do it, other thieves will do it, and it will naturally affect them.

Therefore, in the past, they had never experienced such a scene of being welcomed by the people.

"You can see the direction of the people's hearts!" Li Dingguo said with emotion after watching it for a while.

Zhou Yuji, who was walking in the middle, turned his head to look at him when he heard his words, and immediately nodded with emotion, "That's why we have to put down the chaos as soon as possible, and bring peace to the people of the world!"

At this time, because he had been with Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu for a long time and was familiar with each other, he felt the difference between Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, so he no longer hated them, and naturally he would not speak harshly again.

Liu Wenxiu, who was nearby, heard them talking and was about to speak, when suddenly, a fast horse galloped towards Zhou Yuji's horse, and got off the horse not far from Zhou Yuji's head. Join us and go to Fengyang Mansion!"

As soon as Zhou Yuji heard this, he immediately asked, "Who is the imperial envoy?"

Going to Fengyang Mansion with the army, he can understand.The thieves in the south are chaotic, and the imperial envoys are definitely not safe in the face of large-scale thieves. It is safest to follow them.

At the same time as he asked this question, he said to the two people on the left and right: "Go, let's go to greet you together!"

After leaving Beijing, the imperial envoy represents the imperial power, even if it is not directly under the superior, it is still going to visit.

"It's the deputy envoy of the Department of Political Affairs, who went to Fengyang Mansion to announce the decree, and together with the envoy of Political Communications, will assist the Governor of Fengyang to rectify the place!"

Zhou Yuji didn't know much about the newly established Department of Political Affairs and Communications by the emperor, and he didn't care about it. He only cared about fighting.Therefore, after listening to it, I don't feel much, just to greet it.

A group of people quickly rushed to the Xuzhou Canal Wharf.

When they arrived, the imperial envoy and his party had already disembarked and were packing their things for departure.

Far away, Zhou Yuji saw an official wearing a scarlet robe, and suddenly asked a little strangely, "Why are you so short?"

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were also surprised when they heard this.Men of this height are really rare.

But Zhou Yuji dared to say that, but they didn't dare.

According to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the officials who can wear the scarlet robes are all officials of the fourth rank and above, and they are high-ranking officials of the imperial court who are serious and honest.It is definitely not a wise thing to criticize such a high-ranking official.

After getting closer, Zhou Yuji was surprised again, but this time, he didn't dare to speak unscrupulously, but whispered to Li Dingguo beside him: "Why are you looking at such a bitch!"

Although it is said that the atmosphere in Ming Dynasty is very open now, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, some scholars still wear women's clothes to show off in the market, and they are not ashamed, but proud of it.

This phenomenon was seen before when Zhou Yuji went to suppress the bandits in the south.

But in officialdom, this situation has never been encountered.Otherwise, he would definitely be impeached by the censor.

Now that the deputy political envoy is an imperial envoy, it's really rare for him to dress up like a lady!
"Look, Commander, there seem to be many women in the entourage!" Li Dingguo reminded him in a low voice when he heard his words.

When Zhou Yuji heard this, he turned his eyes away from the red robed official, and when he looked at other people, he found quite a few women.

Although these women are all wearing men's clothes, they can tell that they are definitely women.

This time, Zhou Yuji was even more strange, and at the same time, his perception of this imperial envoy was even worse.

But he can't help it, even if he is an earl, the Ming Dynasty is the largest civil servant, and he has no right to accuse others.

If he, a military commander, really wanted to talk about it, those civil servants might attack him in groups. The literati are coquettish, which is the best reason, and the military man accuses the literati, which is the original sin!

In this regard, Zhou Yuji was also self-aware, so he was going to say hello, and then hide away a little, so that he can see it for nothing!

The sound of horseshoes here also reminded the people on the pier, and they could all tell that it was Zhou Yuji who had arrived.

So, when Zhou Yuji arrived at the pier, this side also greeted him.

Zhou Yuji took Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, and immediately got off the horse, clasped his fists in his hands, and said to the red-robed official in front of him, "General Zhou Yuji (Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu) has met the imperial envoy!"

When talking, they naturally stared at the official in front of them, and they were a little dumbfounded when they were so close.

Seeing that the official in front of him had a peachy face, his face turned red before he could say anything.

This... what kind of man is this?

This is too girly!

"This way, I have to trouble the generals more!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuji and the others, who had just come to their senses, were dumbfounded again.

These words are obviously not a man's voice!
eunuch?

Not like ah!

It can't be really a woman, can it?

Hey, it seems that there is really no Adam's apple!
really a woman?how is this possible?Since when did high-ranking Ming officials have women?Women can be officials...

All of a sudden, in the minds of Zhou Yuji and others, there were a series of question marks, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

They left Beijing and went south before Chen Yuanyuan became an official.It's just that the army was not moving fast, and was overtaken by Chen Yuanyuan, who traveled day and night by boat, so he didn't know anything about the capital.

Of course, if it is related to military affairs, then Zhou Yuji can quickly find out about it.

But the key point is that matters related to Chen Yuanyuan are not military affairs, so naturally no one will report to Zhou Yuji's troops quickly.

Seeing the expressions of these men in front of him, Chen Yuanyuan naturally knew why they reacted like this!

After getting in touch like this for a while, she has calmed down a lot, and then she regained her composure, and explained calmly: "Your Majesty decreed that in the future, a women's department will be set up, allowing women to take scientific examinations, and enter the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty and the Department of Politics and Communications as officials. .Because of the great grace of the emperor, His Majesty bestowed this official with the background of Jinshi, as the deputy envoy of Zhengtong, and went to Fengyang Mansion to assist the envoy of Zhengtong and help rectify the place!"

"..." Although Zhou Yuji and the others heard Chen Yuanyuan's words, they were still dumbfounded and stood there speechless.

It is really what Chen Yuanyuan said, which impacts their three views too much!

If it wasn't for the fact that there was a woman wearing a scarlet scarlet robe standing in front of her, and she was an imperial envoy with Jin Yiwei guarding her, he would have suspected that she was some kind of charlatan!

No, no matter how stupid a charlatan is, he would not make up such a plot to deceive people!
Seeing them like this, for some reason, Chen Yuanyuan raised her chest instead, shedding the little shyness she had felt, and said with her head held high: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that a woman can hold up half the sky! In this world, There are only men and no women, why not? Men and women have their own specialties, and if a man is an official, a woman can also be an official, why is that so strange?"

After she said this, Zhou Yuji came back to his senses.He had nothing to say when he heard the female officer in front of him utter the words of the emperor.

Anyway, the princes in the court don't care about this matter, and he is a martial artist, so naturally he doesn't care much.

In short, there are no women on the battlefield, it's nothing!
Just when he thought of this, he suddenly remembered, isn't Marquis Zhongzhen just a woman!
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Yuji suddenly felt that what he said seemed to make sense. He was deeply impressed that a woman could be a general, so why is it so strange for a woman to be a civil servant?
Anyway, when he thought about it from this angle, he felt relieved.

Even because of Marquis Zhongzhen, Zhou Yuji had a good impression of this female official in front of him.

Of course, he absolutely denied it, not because the female officer is beautiful!He also absolutely denied it, because he had never seen a beautiful woman in a scarlet robe!
