Daming Junior Scholar

This battle was fought in a bit of a muddle. It cannot be said that it was a defeat, but it would be a bit reluctant to say that it was a victory. After all, the Tatars' strategy still caused some damage to the Ming army. If the artillery was fired twice, I am afraid that the loss of the Ming army will be even greater.

The New Year of the ninth year of Zhengde is getting closer and closer, and the cold air in the sky seems to have been dispelled a lot, but the weather before dawn is still very cold. After He Jiaan led Tang Lin out of the house, he was caught by this Shivering from the cold, he quickly got into the sedan chair and walked slowly towards the palace.

Not far from the imperial palace, there were already many sedan chairs on the road. He Jiaan knew without even thinking that these were the sedan chairs of important officials of the imperial court. Right now, he has nothing to compare with them, so he can only let the sedan chairs Husband walked slowly and let them pass first.

Seeing that the imperial palace was approaching, suddenly there was someone in a sedan chair next to him who said 'huh', and then He Jiaan heard someone ask: "Excuse me, is the one sitting in the sedan chair Mr. He Jiaan He?"

When someone asked, He Jiaan didn't dare to pretend, he quickly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and replied loudly: "The next official is He Jiaan, I wonder which adult is on the sedan chair?"

"Hehe, Master He still recognizes the old man?" The opposite car curtain was lifted, revealing an old face, and by the faint candlelight, He Jiaan was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask, is Master Liu University? "

"I didn't expect Mr. He to recognize the old man." Sitting in the sedan chair opposite was Liu Jian, a scholar of the dynasty, and smiled at He Jia'an: "Your Majesty, Mr. He has made the first contribution on this tour, which is gratifying and congratulatory." ah."

"Don't dare to dare, I just try my best to be an official, and all I rely on is the life of the soldiers."

"Hahaha, Mr. He is really good at talking. It's not very convenient here. I don't know if Mr. He will have time after he comes down to court. I heard that Mr. He has a superb piano skill, and Liu has always wanted to learn it."

Master Liu spoke, and He Jiaan had to make time even if he didn't have time, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan's piano skills can only be said to be average. If the bachelor has time, I will play a song for you. .”

"Okay, then it's settled."

Chapter 1075 Thunderbolt Heaven Official

He Jia'an still feels a little flattered by Liu Jian's initiative to show his favor. After all, he is not on the same level as him now. He is one of the few pillars of the Ming Dynasty. It has been silent for a few years, but it has revived recently, and still sits firmly in the position of a great scholar.

After greeting He Jiaan, Liu Jian's sedan chair quickly passed He Jiaan's sedan chair and walked forward. He Jiaan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, began to think about it. Why did Liu Jian choose to greet him at this time?Could it be that he really thinks about his piano skills?

If I really believe that he is in my piano skills, then I am a big fool, these bureaucrats will no longer care who plays the piano well, what they care about is how to continue to stabilize their official position, as for playing the piano ?Wouldn't it be better to play it with any girl?

When He Jiaan arrived at the gate of the palace, the dark sedan chair had already stopped outside, and after he got off the sedan chair, he didn't go up to them. He honestly found a corner and stood there, waiting for a while to go up. .

He Jiaan didn't want to cause trouble, but there was someone who refused to let him go. He was also standing on the periphery, and a person beside him looked at He Jiaan with a bit of a face. After sizing him up again, his eyes suddenly fell on the official robe on his body. .

After carefully looking at it and confirming that it was only a seventh-rank official robe, the man finally spoke, glanced at He Jiaan contemptuously, and snorted: "Do you know where this is?"

"Ah?" He Jia'an was taken aback for a moment, blinked his eyes and nodded, "Yes, the palace."

"You still know it's the imperial palace? Then do you know what kind of crime is committed by casually breaking into the imperial palace?"

"This..." He Jiaan thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Decapitation?"

"You know you're going to be beheaded and you dare to come?" The man's voice suddenly became severe, and he pointed at He Jia'an with wide eyes and said, "You, a little seventh-rank county magistrate, dare to stand here, are you tired of living?" Is it? Listen to what I say, get out of here immediately, otherwise, I will call someone."

He Jiaan was speechless in his heart, what is going on in this world now?The bigger the official, the more cordial it seems, but this kind of small official, the eyes seem to grow to the top of the head, and there is no other person in the eyes, you don’t even think about it, how dare you if you don’t have a reason? Stand here?Do you really think those halberd-wielding guards are fools?

Looking at this fool who feels good about himself, He Jiaan doesn't know whether to pay attention to him or ignore him. If he reprimands him, he will definitely yell and lose his mood for no reason. Why don't you just be here? I'll go somewhere else, it's okay if I don't see it.

He Jiaan simply ignored him, and went directly to the other side. He thought he would be quiet this time, but he didn't expect that before he could stand still, that person followed him again, seeing that He Jiaan hadn't left yet When he lost time, he suddenly showed a natural expression on his face, pointed at He Jia'an and said, "Well, I caught you again, tell me quickly, what are your plans for mixing in with the adults."

The voice of this man was quite loud, and everyone around could hear him clearly. Pairs of curious eyes were directed at He Jiaan. When they saw the official robe on his body, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then asked curiously. Said: "Brother Qi, who is this?"

The person who was called Brother Qi was the one who scolded He Jiaan just now. It was Qi Zhengyuan, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry. It’s just a small seventh-rank magistrate, and he actually mixed in with us, who knows what his plan is, or let the guards come over and ask.”

Unlike him, although the rest of them didn't know He Jiaan, they didn't act as clear as this Minister Qi. The one who asked the question first cupped his fists at He Jiaan, and then said curiously: "In the Ministry of Works Left servant Xu Wen, may I ask your lord's name?"

You see, the gap between this person is indeed too great. If I had said so earlier, would I not like to talk to you? He Jiaan returned a salute and reported to his family: "The next official is the county magistrate of Daxing County. He Jiaan."

He Jiaan.

Xu Wen didn't react at first, but after reading it carefully twice, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and when he looked at He Jiaan again, he already had some strange eyes, and asked curiously: "Master He But it was the 'Thunderbolt Heaven Official' who commanded the Shenji Battalion to defeat the Tatars in Datong?"

What's "Thunderbolt Heaven Official"?

He Jiaan was also taken aback by his words, blinked his eyes and nodded and said: "It is true that I am the one who beat the Tatars, but I really don't know who the 'Thunderbolt Heavenly Official' you are talking about is. .”

Sure enough, it was him, Xu Wen's eyes lit up immediately, he looked at He Jia'an with an expression of admiration, and said hastily: "It seems that Mr. He has been resting at home these days, but he doesn't know that the outside has already been messed up."

Xu Wen didn't lie. After the army returned to the capital, the story of the Datong War was passed on through these soldiers and the people in the back camp. He focused on the fact that He Jia'an dared to open the city to let the Tatars in. He said that there were so many Tatars at that time that it was overwhelming. The Shenji Camp almost wiped out the Tatars with a barrage of artillery. Even the city walls of Datong were destroyed by gunpowder. It was smoked black and hadn't been rinsed off until now.

And He Jia'an, who commanded this battle, suddenly became a figure like a god of war in people's hearts. In addition, he also attacked the Japanese with artillery last time, so someone gave him the nickname of "Thunderbolt Heavenly Official", but he himself He has been resting at home but didn't know that outsiders have given him to the myth, so he was not used to Xu Wen's closeness to He Jia'an. After a few polite words, Xu Wen finally remembered something, and quickly said to the people around him: "Brother Zhengyuan doesn't know yet, this is Lord He Jia'an He who defeated the Tatars in Datong a few days ago, you misunderstood him."

Even with Xu Wen's introduction, Qi Zhengyuan still didn't give He Jiaan any good looks, snorted lightly, and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a victory? What's the big deal? If I have so many cannons, I can win this battle, too.”

"This..." As soon as these words came out, even Xu Wen, who wanted to tell the two of them to get together, couldn't explain it. After being stunned for a while, he could only show a wry smile at He Jia'an.

He Jia'an didn't bother to pay attention to people like Qi Zhengyuan, but Xu Wen and Xu Shilang were quite in tune with him. The two chatted a few more words about the situation in Datong at that time. When they were chatting happily, they came from a distance. A group of eunuchs was led by none other than Zhang Yong. After looking at everyone, he shouted loudly: "Go to court."

Chapter 1076 Please resign from Beijing

Chapter 1076 Please resign from Beijing

It is not the first time for He Jiaan to come to the Golden Luan Hall, but it is the first time for him to be with so many people. This position is generally fixed, and whoever comes first represents the level of his own status, and He Jiaan is naturally the official position among these people The lowest one.

Therefore, he himself had self-knowledge, and when he turned his head, he wanted to stand at the back of the line. At this moment, Zhang Yong in front of him suddenly shouted: "Master He."

It doesn't matter, everyone's eyes immediately fell on He Jia'an, some were curious, some were envious, people like Qi Zhengyuan, but there was undisguised jealousy in their eyes.

He Jia'an didn't want to show off this kind of limelight, but Zhang Yong called him, and he quickly agreed, only to see Zhang Yong walked over with a smile, and then said: "Long live Lord said, let Mr. He go first with the miscellaneous family Enter the palace."

'Wow', what an honor?

I'm afraid that even the bachelors standing at the front have never had such an honor. Their original curious eyes became even more curious, but those ordinary eyes also showed some jealousy.

He Jiaan is not stupid, if he really enters the hall together with Zhang Yong, then he will not have to mess around in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty in the future. No matter who sees him, he will probably think of today's scene.

Thinking of this, He Jiaan quickly waved his hand and said: "Please also ask Eunuch Zhang to go back and tell the emperor that all the adults here are the seniors of my He Jiaan. That's right."

After finishing speaking, He Jiaan happily slipped to the back of the line and stood still. Zhang Yong had nothing to do with He Jiaan. Since he did this, he would go back and report the truth.

Seeing that He Jia'an didn't step into the hall carelessly, the expressions on the faces of these university scholars also became better, they nodded secretly to each other, and then walked towards the Golden Luan Hall with square steps.

After entering the Golden Luan Hall, everyone stood up. After a short time, Zhengde appeared from behind. After sitting on the dragon chair, all the ministers shouted 'Long live, long live, long live', and only then did they complete the proper etiquette.

After sitting down, Zhengde glanced around the crowd, and when he saw He Jiaan, he waved to him and said with a smile: "Today's morning court, He Aiqing is the protagonist, how could he stand so far away? , come, come, stand here with me."

The emperor must put me on the fire. Although He Jiaan was reluctant, but at this time he must not lose face of Zhengde, obediently came to the front, and stood on the side of Zhengde.

After He Jiaan stood up, Zhengde continued to say: "Everyone may not be clear why I treat He Aiqing so well. To be honest, if He Aiqing hadn't been on this expedition to Datong, I am afraid that not only Datong fell, but Even I shall fall into the hands of the Tartars."

Most of the ministers standing below have heard about this sudden battle from their own channels, but many of them don’t know the more detailed story, including why He Jia’an suddenly appeared at the city gate at that time. Where is Zhengde, these are all things that everyone is curious about, but those who spread the word can only describe what happened at that time, but they know little or no understanding of the stories behind them.

Now hearing that the situation at that time was so dangerous, everyone is a little dazed. You must know that the "Tumu Fort Incident" has only been in the past for decades. If such an incident happens again, Daming will really lose face up.

Zhengde stood on his own stand and told everything he knew. After listening to it, everyone realized how dangerous the situation was at that time. The most hateful thing was that Jiang Bin, who ignored He Jiaan's dissuasion , took all the army out of the city, and what was even more exasperating was that he left all the five army battalions behind and fled back to Datong alone.

What behavior is this?This is clearly treason.
