Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

Jiang Bin was startled, took the secret edict with both hands, and looked under the lamp. There were several appointments attached to it—"Order Zhu Zhen to be the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, Tao Jie to be the deputy chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, and Zuo Qin to be the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion." Xuanfu General, Li Shichun as Xuanfu guerrilla; appointed Wang Xun as the general of Datong, Zhang Yi as the deputy commander of Datong, Ma Xun as the general of Datong, Sun Zhen as the guerrilla of Datong; appointed Zhu Luan as the deputy commander of Yansui, Hang Xiong is Yansui general, Zhou Zheng is Yansui guerrilla; appointed Xiao Ju as Liaodong general, and Zhu Shou as governor-general of military affairs, military commander-in-chief."

The corner of Jiang Bin's mouth twitched, and he continued to look down.After that, Jiang Bin and others were asked to wait in Datong for the general seal and flag board to be wholesaled by Wang Qiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.Jiang Bin watched it several times again, his heart pounding.

"There should be no mistakes in this matter, I'm afraid that this secret edict will fall into the hands of others." At this time, Wang Xun was no longer drunk, and he stood up and stared at the secret edict.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Bin finally understood: "Is there any detailed work in Xuanfu?"

Wang Xun nodded with a solemn expression.

Jiang Bin suddenly remembered the rain and the sudden farewell, and he clenched his hands tightly, clenching his teeth tightly.

Wang Xun patted the back of his hand, signaling to be calm.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Qiao Yu in disguise came to Jiang Bin and Wang Xun with Wang Qiong's request and the general seal and flag hidden in the dumpling pile.Wang Xun carefully put away the general seal and flag, and then called Qiao Yu to leave after the Dragon Boat Festival.Qiao Yu, who was going to leave after delivering the things, was a little caught off guard, but Wang Xun was so hospitable that he insisted on staying, so he had to stay.

Few people know how to make zongzi. Qiu Ying, who is still in confinement, asked the maid Chunmei to teach her. The grown men were a little embarrassed, so after reading it, they agreed and returned to Wang Xun's mansion. Going up, I stared at the reed leaves, glutinous rice, fresh meat, red dates, and bean paste prepared in front of me.

"Second brother said yes!" Sun Zhen pointed out.

"Of course I will." Wang Xun blushed, grabbed two green reed leaves, folded them together to look like a funnel, put a spoonful of rice in it, put a few red dates in it, and covered the red dates with another spoonful of rice.It still has some appearance here, but when the zong leaves are folded, it becomes a ball.Without changing his face, Wang Xun pulled a twisted rope and wound it a few times, barely tied up the rice dumpling, and then stretched out his hand to several people.

A few people stared at the green rice dumpling for a moment, then looked at Wang Zongbing, who raised his eyebrows and threatened that it was no different from the ones made by ordinary people, with strange expressions.Wang Xun couldn't hold back his face, and said to the few people who were holding back their laughter: "You guys should take a look!"

Although they didn't know how to do it, they didn't show any weakness, they rolled up their sleeves and started to move their hands.

Seeing that Qiao Yu hesitated, Jiang Bin stuffed a few reed leaves into his hands.Qiao Yu couldn't help but followed Bao.

A few people worked hard, but either there was too much rice to wrap it, or it fell apart when the rope was tied, and it was finally wrapped completely, but it was nothing like it.Jiang Bin was the best wrapped one among them, and when he was wrapped up to the fifth one, he already looked good, and the others hurriedly asked for advice humbly.In fact, when Jiang Bin was a child, he and Jiang Ziqing had a contract with each other, but they were only running around outside, and they gradually became unfamiliar.Now I'm wrapping it, and I recall the scene of holding hands back then.I wonder if Jiang Ziqing is doing well now?

After thinking about it, his movements slowed down. Seeing that the rice dumplings beside him were about to fall apart, he quickly freed up a hand to protect a corner.Unexpectedly, the palm wrapped around his fingertips, the man trembled, and suddenly withdrew his hand, and the zongzi fell back into the bucket, falling to pieces.

The others chatted and laughed for a while and then gave up. Qiao Yu kept his eyes on his rice-stained fingertips. After a long time, he took a few more leaves.Jiang Bin looked at him silently for a while, then turned his head, and tied the zongzi in his hand tightly.

Perhaps he has always been self-righteous, no matter how good Qiao Yu looks, he still looks down on him in his heart.

Various shapes of rice dumplings were brought to the table, and Qiu Ying ate them in the room with a smile on her face.Wang Xin, who was in the nurse's arms, giggled at several people, and was rushed to hug them.

Draw a "king" character on his forehead with realgar, first to use realgar to drive away poison, and second to use tiger to suppress evil.Jiang Bin took out a sachet bought on the street and handed it over. The little guy was playing with the multicolored longevity thread tied to his hand. When he saw the sachet, he grabbed it excitedly and wanted to stuff it into his mouth. People hastily stopped.

The heads met and got together, saying that the little guy opened his eyebrows and looked very much like Wang Ji.The little guy just finished drinking the milk, squinted his eyes and fell asleep after being patted on the back, and everyone could only watch reluctantly as the nurse carried him back to the house.

At this time, Qiao Yu said he wanted to go back, and several people escorted him outside the door. Qiao Yu left in a hurry, and Sun Zhen crossed his arms and wondered, "Could it be that you think I'm such a rude person?"

"Qiao Shangshu is different from those civil servants." Wang Xun walked back with several people.

Sun Zhen pouted.Two eyes and one mouth, what's the difference?

Invite dragons, worship gods, and race dragon boats.

The drum beat three times and the red flag was raised, and two dragons jumped out of the floating water.This lively scene reminded Jiang Bin of Zhengdela watching dragon boats at the Ziguang Pavilion in Zhongnanhai last year, and watching the warriors of the imperial archery race horses and shoot arrows.Speaking of which, we have been separated for several months, except for the secret edict, there is no news at all...

"Whenever I can use my muscles..." Sun Zhen looked at those sweating dragon boat rowers, envious.

Zhengde only told them to wait, but did not say when.The pride that had been raised in his chest gradually settled into increasing anxiety over time.

"Soon..." Wang Xun looked at the dragon boat race and said.

If you are in a hurry, who can compare to him here?At the beginning, Zhengde ordered him to kill the Tatar envoys, and what he promised was to pay in blood after one year.

He has been waiting for a spring and autumn, how could he not be able to bear these rounds of ups and downs.

"There are general seals on the left and right, don't wait, let General Sun go out!"

Sun Zhen glared at Zhang Min who was teasing him, broke off a piece of grass and chewed it in his mouth.This nasty little boy had bullied him since he was a child.He spoke politely, but on the battlefield he was a murderous king of Hades.

When they returned in the evening, they saw a servant boy outside Wang Xun's mansion carrying a basket and poking his head.Wang Xun called him to stop, and saw many plump and green rice dumplings in the basket.

"Who sent it?"

The little boy pointed, "That guy from the teahouse across the street."

Jiang Bin ran out suddenly, leaving behind a few people standing there inexplicably.

The red line is red bean paste, the white line is red dates, and the green line is fresh meat.Every year, I receive this basket with sharp edges and corners. No matter the guard station or the military camp, if you open it, it will smell like home.

The boy in the teahouse said in a long voice that someone had asked him to give it to him, but he didn't recognize that person.I stuffed a copper plate and asked what it looked like, but it didn't look like it at all.Knowing that this was probably the result, Jiang Bin still couldn't let go.Jiang Ziqing cared about him, but she didn't want to see him after all.

Returning to Wang Xun's mansion in despair, he was told by the servant that several people were already waiting for him in the study.

Jiang Bin straightened his clothes, pushed the door open and entered, but saw several people standing in a row, staring strangely at a woman who was eating slowly at the table.The woman in blue coat and red dress, with a hulking back and waist, smiled at Jiang Bin: "My slave, Zhu Shou."
