Minister

Chapter 90

90【Seven years of Jiankang】

Chen Xing sat in the chief seat and looked at Wei Chi with great interest. His stature did not seem to be able to fight. Throwing him into the Wang's army was like throwing an embroidered girl into the iron general.Not to mention short, the body is also a flimsy style.Chen Xing shook his head, and began to think about the moisture in those military newspapers.Wei Chi was born in an academy, and his knowledge is very good. Ordinary people can't defeat him, but those who study Emperor's knowledge know that these are just useless knowledge, and it's just empty talk and a joke when used in war.Is he able to stand out in Feng Yi because of the nerd's conviction of death, or is he really capable...?

Especially unknown.

Chen Xing was thinking about it when suddenly someone broke in from behind.

Huier came in and gave a blessing: "The princess is here, I don't know how I heard it, I also came to join in the fun, it is not convenient to sit outside, so I have to come in."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "It's okay."

Yuxiang also saluted: "Brother Huang." Yuxiang knew that he was a little reckless, but he couldn't explain too much, so he entered the table with a blushing face, and after he sat down, he looked down the field—isn't that tall man the same Chen from yesterday? Jingtai?Why can't he get along with this Wei?

Seeing Yuxiang's doubts, Hui'er took the initiative to say: "Both of you are subordinates of General Wang. When talking about archery skills, you want to have a competition. Such a good interest is very rare, and the holy will is right."

Yuxiang groaned, seeing that the thin and frail boy was indeed that young man, he was overjoyed and worried that he would not be as good as that Chen Jingtai and would be humiliated, so he was very worried.

Chen Xing didn't know what this younger sister was worried about. Could it be that Jingtai was so bad?Can't even compare to Wei Chi?I thought Yuxiang's expression was very funny, so I said, "Who does King Qin think will win?"

Chen Sulue thought for a while: "Wei Chi."

"Oh?" Chen Yan was very surprised: "Why?"

"He's a very quick learner. After practicing Jiuqu Spear for only one year, he defeated the famous Monan general Kabutotuo on the wall of Fengyi. He also practiced bow and arrow for a year. It is probably not difficult to beat Jingtai. "

Chen Yan naturally didn't believe it, very much.

Most of the spectators off the court were the sons of officials, and they cheered for Chen Jingtai more.As for Mr. Xiao Wei, at most a few students from the Imperial College were secretly cheering him up.

Wei Chi made a gesture of invitation, Chen Jingtai looked at Wei Chi's protruding white and tender claws, and gave a very arrogant sideways glance, and immediately a house slave came up with his usual bow and arrow.Master Xiao Wei was not angry either, he bowed slightly, went directly to the quiver and picked one in his hand.Master Xiao Wei bought all the 50 taels given by the emperor to buy clothes. A good bow is very expensive, and Wei Chi's salary for a year can't be exchanged for a piece.

What's more, even if Wei Chi had so much money, he didn't intend to spend it like this.

After the two had chosen the bow, they wanted to choose the target, and the inner prisoner came over with the dice.Chen Jingtai held for thirteen, Wei Chi shook it—two?

Everyone roared with laughter again.

Fifteen arrows per person, Chen Jingtai shot first, and one arrow hit the red heart.

In fact, as far as Chen Jingtai himself is concerned, his kung fu is good and he has knowledge, but in terms of experience, he knows a lot about walking the dog, playing birds and talking about pomp, but he knows too little about the real business.

Wei Chi stood up unhurriedly, walked to the field, raised his bow and drew the string, and hit the red heart with an arrow!

People inside and outside the arena were immediately shocked by the 'bang'!The booing sound suddenly became quieter.

Chen Jingtai was also shocked. He saw that Wei Chi was very skillful, and he changed his joking expression just now, and the moment he left his hand, the solemnity on his face shocked himself.

After Wei Chi finished shooting, he saluted respectfully and retreated to the sidelines.

Afterwards, the two were evenly matched. Every time Chen Jingtai hit an arrow, Wei Chi chased after it.When the tenth arrow was shot, those young people studying in the Imperial College couldn't help shouting loudly.Wei Chi was still respectful and unhurried, Chen Jingtai gritted his teeth with hatred.

Chen Xing smiled and said nothing in the tent, Chen Su leisurely took a sip of tea and looked at it, Yu Xiang took a look: "Yu Xiang, if you lie down any further, the chair will fall down."

It was only then that Chen Xing realized that she was only smiling when Wei Chi was hit, she was relieved, and was very strange in her heart: "Why don't you encourage Jingtai?"

Yuxiang felt that he had lost his composure when he heard it, and quickly shrank back: "...the audience are all noble children, if that Hanlin loses, he will definitely be humiliated...that's all."

That Hanlin lost?Chen Xing wondered how this younger sister who lived deep in the palace knew that this person was from Hanlin?It was very strange after thinking about it, and then stopped talking.

After saying a few words, there were already thirteen arrows on the target off the court.

Chen Jingtai was sweating, and wanted to embarrass Wei Chi severely, but he didn't expect this guy to be prepared.Seeing that his posture was definitely not taking it easy, he became very impatient.The bow was drawn and stringed again, and the No. 14 arrow hit the red heart.

Wei Chi put down the tea in his hand, stood up slowly, calmly, drew the bow and stringed it, and hit the red heart!

"Okay!" The students of the Imperial College were completely insane, and some aristocratic children also admired this poor scholar and applauded.

Last shot!Chen Jingtai held the strings for a long time and did not dare to let go. Everyone held their breaths and waited for the final victory. Chen Jingtai stared at the red heart full of arrows, his hands gradually soaked in sweat—if he really couldn't win, then...?

Suddenly, a jackdaw 'chirp! ' flew up with a sound, Chen Jingtai was startled, the string slipped out!

"Miss!" shouted the reporter.

Chen Jingtai broke out in a cold sweat, and sighed secretly.

With regret, everyone turned to Wei Chi again. Wei Chi smiled slightly, and still unhurriedly drew his bow and wound it——

Don't!Chen Jingtai clenched his fists.

"Hit!" shouted the target reporter.

Everyone saw that Chen Jingtai's face changed, and they secretly shouted "Okay" so they couldn't say more. The supervisors from those noble families were very excited, and they came up to salute Wei Chi one after another.

"Master Wei is amazing!"

Those who are in charge of the Hanlin Academy should call them masters, and princes should also call them masters to show respect when they are studying, regardless of age.Ever since, a group of people in their 20s shouted "Master" long "Master" to Wei Chi with admiration on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yan watched Chen Jingtai throwing his bow and rushing out angrily.

"This..." The chief eunuch Xu Wei hesitated to answer.

"Let both of them come in and talk." Chen Xing put down the exposure post in his hand.

Xu Wei walked off the field, stopped Chen Jingtai first, then pulled Wei Chi out of the crowd, and led them back to the main tent.Wei Chi had just entered the tent when he saw King Qin looking at him with a happy face, and Chen Xing smiled and said, "Since King Qin contributed the capital, why don't you come and receive the reward?"

Wei Chi thanked him for the reward and stepped aside.

Seeing Chen Jingtai's flushed face, Chen Xing felt very uncomfortable, so he said, "Master Wei loves money the most. It can be seen that it is due to this reward. If he didn't have it, he might lose the competition."

Seeing that Chen Yan was justifying his relatives, Wei Chi smirked and acquiesced to this statement.

Chen Jingtai thought for a while, but he still couldn't get angry: "The minister was negligent. When he was drawing the bow, he was startled by the bird and dropped his hand... If you compare it again..."

Qin Wang didn't wait for him to finish, and frowned: "If you come to the battlefield, you will come again?"

Sure enough, because of his reputation, Chen Jingtai blushed immediately and dared not argue any more.

Chen Yan glanced at Chen Su with interest, and then looked at Wei Chi in a blink of an eye-this 50 taels was a lot for him, but it was also very shabby for this scene.Wei Chi's outfit can only be said to be decent, and the elegance created by the 50 taels can also match his good-looking face to add some color to himself.Chen Jingtai's body is not comparable to that of Wei Chi. He thought that he could grow some face in the past few days, and finally sent him to the King of Qin to practice in Yulong for a few years. Unfortunately, Wei Chi, who had nothing to do with him, became Cheng Cheng. Biting gold... Which song is this in which play?

Wei Chi didn't bite the gold, and looked at the silver like a fool, letting that Chen Jingtai be ashamed of him by the side.

Chen Xing did not step down for Chen Jingtai, turned to Xu Wei and said, "Bring that rhino horn bow," then turned to Wei Chi with a smile, "I didn't embarrass the Imperial Academy and the Wang Family Army!"

Wei Chi took the bow and said solemnly: "It's all due to the emperor's kindness. If the emperor didn't know it by listening, I'm just a reckless man in the countryside of Shu."

Wei Chi and Chen Jingtai saluted and withdrew from the main account.

Chen Jingtai was startled by the cold wind and couldn't help shivering, only to realize that he was covered in sweat and embarrassed.When he came back to his senses, he turned to look at Wei Chi next to him. At this time, he was still a few steps away from the outer courtyard, and he and himself were the only ones around.Looking at the rhino horn bow in his hand, Chen Jingtai suddenly felt extremely ashamed.

"Hello!" Chen Jingtai strode over and grabbed Wei Chi's arm.

The man turned his head and glanced lightly, he was no longer the look of bowing his head and obediently just now, that unruly demeanor made even Chen Jingtai, who was born in the royal family, frightened.

"Did you hear that I stabilized Princess Qinghe's horse in the forest?" Wei Chi recalled the little princess's shy expression just now and guessed it: "It's just a meeting, I'm from the imperial court. The life officer naturally has his own way to go, the fate between you and you has nothing to do with me, I hope you will respect yourself."

Chen Jingtai was stunned by this haughty attitude for a while, and suddenly didn't know what to say, and La Weichi's hand couldn't exert any strength, his face was flushed from holding back.Thinking of Wei Chi's real kung fu on the court, he knew that he was a villain who cared about being ridiculed by others, and felt even more ashamed after being pointed out by his straightforward sentence.

Seeing Chen Jingtai throwing his arm and fleeing, Wei Chi patted the folds of his shoulder with a smile, and took a look at the rhino horn bow in his hand—the swim bladder was very thick. A hard bow, I can't use it myself.This one is more or less worth a thousand taels of silver, right?If Du Yun was still there...then someone would be worthy of him...it's a pity...Wei Chi faced the cold wind and looked back at the extravagant tent, and then thought about the emperor's temptation that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.It can be seen that he is indeed on guard against the minister in his bones, and every word he speaks is thoughtful, lest he will be found out.I think that just now he acquiesced that the King of Qin spoke for himself, and he might have secretly assigned himself to the border school...

Hanlin Academy, the fate between me and you will come to an end.Wei Chi smiled wryly, bowed his back, and walked out of the camp slowly.

Chen Xing chatted and laughed with the King of Qin over the drinks on the table, and said something that was not in a hurry, but he couldn't help being surprised in his heart——that Wei Chi, just a civil servant, was about the age of a child, and he had only been to the border for a year. He already has the strength to challenge Chen Jingtai.It can be seen that where there is a will, there is a way!Wang Yunyi is a good general, but he is not invincible and insurmountable. What Wei Chi can do, can't he do it himself?

Chen Su's expression changed several times while watching the emperor's brother laughing and talking, but he couldn't guess after a lot of guessing.He knew that this person had the most doubts, and it might not be appropriate to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye after a few pleasantries.After leaving the tent, the footprints on the snowy ground were arranged in a disorderly manner. Chen Su couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, nor could he guess which pair belonged to that person, so he thought, a person has a life, and the ingenuity depends on your own. Good luck!

Chen Xing thought for a while in the tent, smiled, stood up and was about to leave when he saw Yuxiang sitting under the mat and looking at him foolishly.

"Sister, you?" Chen Yan suddenly remembered something: "...why didn't you go hunting birds? Before you came, you were arguing all day long, but why did you come and stay still?"

Chen Yuxiang blushed suddenly, stood up and groaned for a while.

Chen Yan said with a smile: "My brother may not have time to accompany you for a long time. Since I am here today, I will catch some birds for you and change your clothes as soon as possible!"

Yuxiang blushed, thanked him, and hurried into the tent.

Chen Xing turned sideways and whispered to Hui'er: "Let the people from Jinyiwei ask about today's affairs."

Hui'er nodded slightly, and retreated from the dark place of the side door.

For the next half day, Chen Xing didn't go anywhere, and accompanied Yuxiang to catch birds.It was true that Yuxiang hadn't gotten close to his elder brother the emperor for a long time, so he had a good game with his heart open.In fact, Chen Xing's hunting skills were not inferior to King Qin's. By the evening, he had helped Yuxiang catch a large cage. Excluding the ones that Yuxiang played with and the ones with ugly fur, there were more than 30 cages in total.

The sky was getting late, and the sunset covered the western sky, reflecting the beauty of the snow and dead trees.Yuxiang climbed up to the high ground of the bird farm: "Look, Brother Huang! The sun is so red! It reflects the snow beautifully!" Chen Zhen also climbed up the high hill and stood with her on the edge of the cliff. "Brother Huang, what's that?" Yuxiang pointed to the path down the mountain, where a group of horses and chariots were heading towards the south out of the mountain.Chen Yan said with a smile: "The accompanying ministers will return to Beijing before tonight. They are no less leisurely than the relatives of the emperor. They will start preparing to resume government affairs tomorrow."

Minister?Yuxiang thought that "Wei Changbubu" was also included in it, but it was too far away, so far away that only a small black dot could be seen.But Yuxiang still watched in a daze as the orderly chariot and horses slowly moved out of the mountain until the last black spot disappeared into the mountain depression.Just for a moment, the resplendent radiance of the brilliant red glow was about to turn into a dim yellow. Yuxiang was holding a brown-backed shrike with red brocade fur in his hand. Yuxiang wears cowhide gauntlets on his hands, even if the Shrike has a sharp beak and claws, it can't hurt anyone.But at this moment of loss of consciousness, the little bird shrank suddenly, twisted again, and twisted out of his hand.

"Zha!" Shrike yelled, fluffed up his feathers very quickly, and rushed away like an arrow facing the last ray of red glow!As if trying to chase that line of chariots and horses, he disappeared in the col in an instant.

"Oh! My Shrike!" Yuxiang couldn't help crying.

"Be careful!" Chen Yan protected Yu Xiang who was about to chase: "How can this catch up? Since it is going to go, let him go."

After leaving the courtiers, the royal gathering became more lively, and it was not until noon of the Lantern Festival that the preparations for returning to the palace began.By the time the palace was settled, it was already after dinner.After Chen Xing had a short rest, a servant who had been waiting at the side came up to report.Chen Xingjian looked at the documents on the case, thought about it, took two secret letters and handed them to Huier, and said: "Don't make Tai Tuo wait too long, and prepare to drive Qingsi Pavilion."

Guo Taiming was the master handpicked by the first emperor to the emperor, the emperor's teacher, and the most famous literati in the dynasty.His poems abandoned the ornate and piled-up style prevailing at that time, with sincere feelings and elegant strokes, creating a new style of poetry. Because he was from Nanling County, this school of poetry was called the Nanling School.As the first emperor approached his later years, there were not many old ministers left in the court. The first emperor understood that the people who governed the country were not generals, so after a group of people fell, this scholar who was born in the Imperial Academy gradually surfaced.Among this group of insightful people, this fat man surnamed Guo is the most upright and kind-hearted. The overly tight national guidelines have made the imperial court rigid at that time, so the appearance of this person is particularly precious.After several years of trials, the first emperor finally entrusted his son to him with peace of mind, and the new era became lively, enlightened, and the people smooth because of his influence.

Guo Taifu is really fat, but he is very diligent, and he never shirks what he should do. In the seventh year of Jian'an, he is already seventy-one years old. From the beginning to the end of the year, and from the end to the beginning of the year, he dare not neglect one day business.

Hearing the internal supervisor's report, Guo Taiming stood up on his knees, and Xu Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Teacher, take it easy, don't worry."

Guo Taiming thanked Eunuch Xu, and said with a smile, "I can't help it, I'm getting fatter!"

Moved to the grid, saw the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers, Chen Xing gave the seat, Xu Wei led all the servants and maidservants to retreat.Hui'er took the documents from the Taifu, arranged them on the table one by one, opened the inkstone, and began to grind the ink.

"Your Majesty, the first thing to do is to negotiate a peace. Since we want to make up our minds, this will be the first thing to do after that year. Who will the Emperor appoint to take charge of this matter?"

"Does the master have any recommendations?"

Guo Taiming said slowly: "Your Majesty, this matter is the first important matter. The Emperor must make a final decision on this matter. If there is any objection, I will reply."

Chen Yan inadvertently sighed: "Wang Yunyi and the others have already reached a stalemate. Since they want to reconcile, it is not appropriate to delay it for a long time. I think Hongluqing Yu Mian is a personal choice. He has been working in Honglu Temple for two years. Many things are known. The reason, and he was very effective in dealing with the disaster in Jiangxi a few years ago, the evaluation of the government and the public is quite pertinent. This peace matter can neither wrong Mr. Wang, nor be biased. He is an upright and public person, so it should be suitable .”

Guo Taiming nodded: "I think it's appropriate."

"Does the Taifu have any other names to mention?"

Guo Taiming signaled Hui'er to write: "The emperor is already a grown-up, and the world should naturally obey the emperor's wishes."

"This is a document handed over by the Ministry of Officials years ago. It is from the Ministry of War. The cabinet read it first, but it has not yet been approved. I think the emperor should read it before asking the cabinet to re-draft the draft." Huier and Guo Taiming said After finishing, he took two brochures and handed them to Chen Xing one by one.

This is a promotion booklet, which draws up a list of Fengyi's meritorious soldiers in World War I one by one.In the past, the promotion of these small officers would not be handed over to the emperor, but the battle of Fengyi was very special, and even these small officers had to think a little more.

"This is Mr. Shen's brochure. I asked for Mr. Hu Yanglin by name." Hui'er handed over another name card.

Chen Xing nodded: "Quite what he means."

But the difficulty is not in this list, but outside the list.In the end, it was Guo Taiming who asked, "Wei Chi wasn't banned a few years ago, and no one mentioned him in the next year. It doesn't matter if he doesn't get banned, but he's on secondment now. Isn't it a joke?"

Chen Xing said with a smile: "I really don't have any idea about him, Tai Tu might as well talk about it."

Guo Taiming made a salute: "Instead of waiting for General Wang to come back...it's better for the emperor to give him a title! After all, he is Xiaolian handpicked by the emperor, so he naturally knows who he should be loyal to."

"Does the Taifu have any good advice?" Chen Xing thought to himself, should he be transferred back to the Imperial Academy?

"Last year, the Guozijian sacrificed wine and Zhu Bing's case was withdrawn. This position has been vacant, but the emperor may have heard about it. Several factions are fighting fiercely. It is still uncertain. I think Wei Chi might as well be promoted."

Chen Xing was shocked: "He can't! This?"

"Your Majesty, in terms of writing, he is an auspicious scholar of the Imperial Academy, and in terms of Wu, he is a meritorious official. Moreover, he has no faction in the court. It seems incredible to look at it now, but no one can refute it. Wang Yunyi has nothing to say about the people who suppressed the Imperial College."

Chen Xing thought about it carefully, and it was true, but Wei Chi really only had, can he suppress those 50-[-]-year-old foxes?

Guo Taiming saw Chen Xing's doubts: "It is indeed as the emperor worried, he is indeed too young, and I also doubted whether he can protect himself in the Imperial College, but it seems more dangerous to send him to Monan last year. Not only can he come back alive, but he can also make great achievements independently. After all, the Guozijian is still the territory of civil servants. If he suffers here, he will really live up to his high expectations, and what he suffers is what he deserves."

Seeing that Chen Xing had no words, Guo Taiming added: "Wei Chi is satisfied with this arrangement, the Imperial College is barely satisfied, and Wang Yunyi has nothing to say. As for the Imperial Academy...there are always too many people there. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, and the cabinet are all waiting for the emperor's own opinion. If the emperor doesn't say anything, wouldn't that mean they are going to fight with Wang Yunyi? Even if it's their wish to do it now, it might not be the case when Wang Yunyi comes back."

Chen Yan finally nodded.

"This is the eight-hundred-mile express delivery from the border. It arrived in the morning, and it was delivered to me just now. The Taifu will also take a look." Chen Yan followed Hui'er to show the two secret letters to Guo Taiming.

Guo Taiming smiled and waved his hands: "The emperor is already able to take charge of his own affairs. From now on, I won't look at documents outside of my job."

Hui'er looked back and saw that Chen Yan was not reluctant, so she left the secret letter.

Afterwards, the monarch and his ministers checked the budgets of the various ministries, and re-checked the annual needs of the Ministry of War. By the time the discussions were over, it was already late.Guo Taiming sat for an hour, but it was difficult to get up, he struggled a few times, his arms lightened, but when he looked up, it was Chen Yan who helped him up himself.

Seeing Guo Taiming's humility, Chen Xing said respectfully: "The Tai Tuo will always be my master." After saying that, he personally helped him out of the hall and handed him over to Xu Wei himself.

Chen Xing watched the chubby Guo Taifu move into the small sedan chair, and the small sedan chair trembled towards the outside of the palace.

"Why do you think the Tai Tuo keeps speaking for Wei Chi?" Chen Yan asked Hui'er.

"...It's fine if it's not for the Wang family." Huier thought for a while.

"What kind of person do you think this Wei Chi is?"

Hui'er tilted her head and laughed: "The emperor has stumped the slaves... He... I'm afraid he's a likable person..."

adorable?

Chen Xing nodded, looking out of the palace at the dark world, the little maids walked along the palace wall with lanterns, like a string of pearl necklaces winding on the ground.The peaceful snow falls silently, but Chen Xing knows that this is the last tranquility, and when Wang Yunyi returns to Beijing, it will be another game, cruel and silent.

The author has something to say: Chen Xiaoshuai was frightened by Wei's arrogance... touching one.

It's pitiful, a person who is full of LV is actually bullied by a little poor man who wears an administrative brand because of special funds for public use.

It was still the emperor's generosity to actually give a lv bow... It's a pity that the model is not acceptable.

I don't know if it can be sold, I guess I won't be able to sell it...Wei Chihan is one.

As for that ring, Khan, gorgeous, how could Sister Suo, who was studded with diamonds all over her body, have such a cheap thing?This cheap item was chosen by Wei Chi himself from the floats in the jewelry store...

As for Yuxiang, that's... girls' feelings are always poetry... so rare this ring, this... really is the power of love, it's so powerful.

Finally, classmate Wei was promoted to a high official!I wake up laughing when I fall asleep.

Uncle Wang is heartbroken, the handsome boy he cultivated by himself was poached by the emperor just like that... Gritting his teeth

Wang Jiajun is coming back soon, while the emperor's stomach hurts, Wei Chi is looking forward to it~~~
