The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 464 Core Social Circle

Zhu Youtang was very pleased, and took the initiative to check Cui Yuan's military policy papers.

At first glance, although some things may not be very clear, it seems that Wang Qiong is right, at least the answer is much better than those who show loyalty indiscriminately and don't speak right.

"It's good that he can do that."

Zhu Youtang seems to have finally found a "positive model".

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Father, is this uncle's paper? Even if he writes well, he is not very good at riding horses and archery."

Zhu Youtang said: "Prince, didn't I tell you? In the future, riding and shooting alone will not be enough to gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation with the Tatars. Instead, the use of artillery and firecrackers will be the highlight. Besides, even if his performance in riding and archery is not outstanding, but as a literati, he can ride a horse and shoot arrows, which is already better than many martial arts backgrounds. Is this considered bad?"

To catch positive models, of course, if there is any good thing, put it on him.

However, Zhang Mao, Zhu Hui, Ma Wensheng, Xie Qian and others around him also felt that there was some truth to it.

It is probably a bit high to ask Cui Yuan to use Wu Xun's requirements for bow horse riding and shooting. If Cui Yuan can guarantee the basic riding and shooting movements, and have a strategic pattern, this is very important for Zhu Youtang who pays attention to the "kinship effect". For the emperor, he is simply a perfect typical character.

Another important point is that Cui Yuan is tall, handsome and well-read. As the son-in-law of the Ming royal family, Cui Yuan has very good external conditions, which is also very in line with the needs of a positive model.

"Bingkuan, what do you think?"

But before Zhu Youtang wanted to commend anyone, the most important thing was to listen to Zhang Zhou's opinion.

If Zhang Zhou feels bad, or should not be commended positively, then he will definitely dispel his thoughts without hesitation.

Zhu Youtang is such a "stubborn" person.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have seen the military policy of the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongkang, and think that this person has reached a very high level of understanding in artillery warfare and firecracker warfare. If you come into contact with the battlefield, if you can experience it in the future, I believe you can become a pillar of Ming Dynasty."

When he said this, Zhang Zhou also took a look at Wang Qiong.

Others don't know that Cui Yuan is copying the lesson plans in many places, but as the writer of the lesson plans, how could Zhang Zhou not know about it?

Although Zhang Zhou didn't think that Cui Yuan would definitely be able to make some achievements in the hot weapon battlefield in the future, it was too difficult for the emperor to set a positive example when he came out. He couldn't let the emperor go back to the palace disappointed, right?
Even more rare...

It's because there are too few honored ministers who are willing to learn from him, and even fewer relatives come from family backgrounds. Even if Zhang Zhou recognizes Cui Yuan who is still working hard.

"Bingkuan makes sense." Zhu Youtang said to Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng facing each other, "I think Cui Qing's family has never been on the battlefield, and he may not even be familiar with artillery and firecrackers. There are so many tactics, it can be regarded as a talent."

Unleashing the potential of Xie Qian's poisonous tongue, he took the initiative to cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty, we must also prevent the situation of talking on paper."

According to Xie Qian, a person who didn't even go to the battlefield and only talked about the situation on the battlefield, what is it if he is not talking on paper?To put it bluntly, this is empty talk.

Zhu Youtang looked displeased and said: "It is said that he is talking about wars on paper, who is not talking on paper today? Except for a few people present who have actually used new-style artillery and firecrackers on the battlefield, how many are there? Who should I trust more?"

It was quite normal at first, but when it came to "who should be believed" at the end, even Xie Qian understood.

What is Cui Yuan's ability now is not the point... There is no need to get to the bottom of it or worry about it.

The emperor wants to set him up as a positive example, this is for the face of the king, and also for the face of Daming.

Perhaps Zhang Zhou could also understand that Cui Yuan's ability was mediocre, but he would just fit the tense to argue with the emperor to make the emperor feel happy, while he was a little bit brave and insisted on saying something different.

"Your Majesty's words are very true." Xie Qian immediately changed his words, "The old minister has thought about it again and again, Cui Concubine is already an outstanding talent, a rare talent."

The conversation changed so quickly that people who had been with him for a long time, such as Ma Wensheng and Zhang Mao, were not used to it, so they couldn't help but glance at him.

"Come here, I heard that the son-in-law of the eldest princess of Yongkang, I want to reward him well."

……

……

After Cui Yuan failed in his riding and archery project, he already felt that he was not suitable for taking the path of martial arts.

Be a son-in-law, Daming's number one "little boy", usually make some friends, talk about the mountains, find some hobbies and live comfortably for the rest of your life, why do you have to find something to do for yourself like your wife said? ?

Besides, is war fun?
I'm a scholar, let me take the No. [-] Scholar exam, maybe I still have a chance, but let me lead the army... The major is obviously wrong.

But just...

This will live up to the princess' expectations of me.

Thinking of the princess brazenly begging the emperor to give me a chance to enter the Martial Arts Hall for her own sake, but she would give up on herself like this...

It's a little too cowardly.

"Consort? Why are you still standing here? His Majesty summoned you."

Cui Yuan found a place to sit down, complaining about himself, and even pondering in his heart, should he do something to make his wife happy.

A colleague from the Dudu Mansion came to inform him.

"Your Majesty summoned?" Cui Yuan was also confused.

A group of people gathered around immediately, and some said: "I saw it, Li Rong, Eunuch Li, the supervisor of rituals, personally delivered the message, Concubine Cui, it seems that you behaved differently in the school field today, a good thing."

"Just him?"

There are still some people in the crowd who refute their views.

How can you tell that it must be a good thing for Cui Yuan to be summoned?

A scholar who can barely ride a horse and can't shoot a bow and arrow, no matter how awesome he is, he is just a relative of the emperor, at best he is a vase of the royal family.

If you do some black-box operations, you may be able to fool him, but the key is that Cui Yuan's previous performance in riding and shooting was noticed by everyone.

In today's chain of contempt... Cui Yuan, a literati who insists on joining martial arts, is definitely at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

"It's not Consort Cui, is it you? Has anyone been summoned by His Majesty today? There are a lot of people here." Someone around said.

That's about it.

Can you speak?
Encourage this idiot and establish a friendship... Don't you guys know even the most basic of the world when you are martial arts?No wonder you can't be scholars.

Cui Yuan followed the crowd to the front, there were too many people, when he saw Li Rong, Li Rong was already surrounded by a group of warriors.

This group of middle and lower-level military generals in Beijing, not to mention face-to-face saints, is definitely a rare thing to see a ceremonial supervisor and eunuch, and there is no time to welcome them.

"Princess Consort, please." Li Rong knew Cui Yuan.

The old man in the palace has a wide network of contacts, Li Rong would not blow his beard and stare when he saw anyone, but everyone knew that Li Rong was a tiger with a smiling face.

"Eunuch Li, this is..." Cui Yuan wanted to know whether he would be rewarded or punished for going.

Because he couldn't think of any reason for his brother-in-law to summon him.

Li Rong smiled and said, "You will know when you arrive."

……

……

In front of Shengjia.

Cui Yuan stood there respectfully, surrounded by a group of bigwigs in the court, even Zhang Zhou, the most favored minister by the emperor's side, was also there, besides that, he was also the Duke of the state, the elder of the cabinet, and the minister of the official department. Cui Yuan couldn't keep his eyes open because of the lineup.

When the emperor praised his performance in front of everyone, Cui Yuan became emotional beyond words.

"...I don't ask every courtier to be like Bingkuan, but at least he should be like Cui Qing's family. Even if there are deficiencies, they still have to learn, and they are willing to sink their hearts into research. Ren, I never thought that among so many royal relatives and relatives, you worked so hard. It seems that the status of a scholar has given you a lot of help. Only by diligently studying can you stay up all night. Those who seek to be proficient in bow and horse on horseback will one day become weak because of idleness in training..."

Zhu Youtang's words were full of expectations.

Many people on the side turned their attention to Zhang Mao.

The emperor's words are a bit like "pointing at Sang Sang and scolding Huai Huai".

To talk about those who gained fame on horseback is not to say Zhang Mao?When you Zhang Mao was young, you won the three armies bravely, but now it is better, and you have changed into an old man?
But Zhang Mao seemed to be a normal person, Quan Qi pretended not to know that what he said had anything to do with him.

"I have decided to let you concentrate on practicing the art of war in the Martial Arts Hall. In addition, you don't have to listen to matters in the clan's mansion. You will be transferred to the governor's mansion to upgrade you to three levels. If you can improve, I will It can let you walk in the upper listening place..."

After hearing this, Cui Yuan became even more excited.

Suddenly changed from a handsome man in a vase of Ming Dynasty to a favorite of the military?
"Mr. Ying, I wanted to summon Zhu Zaijing Wuxun and others who came to the school today. I don't have much free time right now, so I will let you pass the message for me and tell them what I expect of them."

As he said that, Zhu Youtang picked up the pen and wrote four words on the paper: "Keep up."

It seems to be encouragement and expectation, but it also makes people feel that the emperor is cursing people.

……

……

The school exams are not completely over.

There will be a series of drills in the future, but Zhu Youtang has no intention to watch it... If you watch too much, you are afraid that you will be too angry and make yourself angry...

With Zhang Zhou supporting Daming's military administration, he suddenly felt that it was a very wise decision.

When everyone sent him to the Luanjia, Zhu Youtang looked at Zhang Zhou with eyes full of expectation and "Thank you for your hard work", and sighed heavily, as if he knew that this group of teammates couldn't move him, and he gave Zhang Zhou an incomparable Hard work, but also looks very ashamed.

Finally, Li Rong and others escorted Zhu Youtang and his son back to the palace.

"How? Is there any more?"

Seeing that the emperor had gone far away, Xie Qian naturally didn't want to stay outside the city anymore. As a cabinet minister, his focus was never on this group of military heroes from the Beijing camp.

Zhang Zhou asked with a smile: "Mr. Xie Ge hasn't watched enough yet? Which part do you want to watch, how about asking someone to watch it again?"

Xie Qian said: "Listening to what Cai Guogong means, the military performance is just a show on the school grounds for people to watch?"

Zhang Zhou shrugged.

It means, whatever you think, if you think my acting is too much, then at least my acting has conquered the Ming army, and even the emperor thinks my tactics are more effective. If you are not convinced, you can also come to one!
Ma Wensheng said: "If you can improve the vigor and spirit of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Jingying, it will indeed be a meritorious service. Hmm!"

When it comes to the end, self-affirmation generally nods.

A group of ministers will discuss going back to the palace.

At this time, Zhu Feng, who had been participating in the inspection on the school grounds, came over and joined Zhang Zhou's camp.

Zhu Feng originally thought that this school exam, like trying to catch ducks to the shelves, might kill him... After taking the exam, his self-confidence seemed to have increased.

"Brother Zhang, am I... alright?" Zhu Feng asked.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your grades are good, but His Majesty didn't particularly praise you, after all, you are an honored minister who has only risen in recent years."

Zhu Feng scratched his head with a smile, and said shyly, "I just try my best."

At the same time, Wang Qiong also led the way and brought Cui Yuan over to greet Zhang Zhou.

"Student Cui Yuan, I have met Cai Guogong." Cui Yuan was still respectful as before when he met Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou said with emotion: "Mr. Cui is being polite. From now on, I will not go in and out of the Martial Arts Hall frequently. For matters of teaching, you should listen to the opinions of Wang Shilang and An Bianhou."

Both Wang Qiong and Zhu Feng are instructors of the Yanwu Hall, and they also belong to Zhang Zhou's direct descendant. Although Cui Yuan felt that it would be a pity that he could not learn from Zhang Zhou, he was still glad that he had studied the lecture given by Wang Qiong. And successfully mixed into the "core social circle" of Yanwutang.

……

……

in the palace.

Zhu Youtang summoned his younger sister, Princess Yongkang, who was going to greet the Queen Mother Zhou.

Because of his mother's early death, Yongkang doesn't even have a close friend now, so he entered the palace this time to win some benefits for his family in front of the old lady.

A princess... especially a eldest princess, naturally knows that the only thing she can rely on is this kind of blood relationship.

In other words, it is a kind of emotional kidnapping of Zhu Youtang, and Zhu Youtang usually does this.

"Yongkang, today I inspected the three armies outside the city, and I met Maoren." Zhu Youtang said.

Although Yongkang hated her husband's recent coldness in her heart, she still wanted to brag about her husband in front of outsiders, she said: "Brother Huang, recently the son-in-law doesn't even care about the younger sister, so he went to study the art of war, Wouldn't it be embarrassing? Even though he had never marched and fought a war before, he was sincere and knew his shortcomings and was always learning."

"Really? He is diligent in his studies, no wonder he has improved so quickly." Zhu Youtang laughed, "He is the only person I have praised today."

When Yongkang heard this, he immediately smiled.

What was neglected by her husband didn't seem to be that important anymore. Compared with the big interests of the family, what was her small loss?
"Brother Huang, don't praise him so much, he will be free. But he has always been diligent. It was because of this that the younger sister thought he could be entrusted to him for life." Yongkang still seemed quite humble.

Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "Okay, you have a good eye, if I have a chance later, I will send him out to practice, don't be reluctant."

"No, no." Yongkang said, "It is only natural for him to serve the country, no matter how he experiences himself."

　I was not discharged from the hospital, but today I ran home by myself to sleep.The results of the MRI today only said "thickening of the gallbladder wall, suggesting cholecystitis", without even finding out the cause.But my jaundice still hasn't subsided.

　　The doctor said that my initial symptoms were like acute biliary obstruction, and it may have passed out on my own, but since the jaundice has not subsided, there should be still obstruction... He also said that it is suspected to be hepatitis A and E, and I may have to be transferred to the infectious disease hospital. My partner was quite frightened, and the results of hepatitis A and E came out at noon (here is the inspection report of hepatitis A and E, which will be a monk on the 2nd and 5th of the week), and they are all negative... and then I will have an endoscopic ultrasound tomorrow (that is, a gastroscope tube Ultrasound), you can’t eat or drink after 10 o’clock tonight, the exact time is not sure, after the liver protection drip (Simite) in the afternoon, you have an indwelling needle on your body, and you can use an ice cuff for two layers. After returning home, I can finally get some sleep at home (the patient in the innermost ward was infected with one positive, and I have not yet had two positives). Since I was admitted to the hospital, I have drawn more than 2 tubes of blood (at most 25 tubes at a time), and my left arm No blood vessels could be found. Except for one time on the left arm, the remaining six or seven times were all done on the right arm. From the initial major biochemistry to the later stages of various tumor indicators, the laboratory fee was more than 11, plus MRI, CT, etc., three days The hospitalization has already cost seven thousand, but the shit hasn't been found out yet.My partner said, this is the catastrophe of my natal year, first adult hands, feet and mouth, then jaundice... I hope tomorrow's ultrasound endoscopy can give an accurate result, otherwise I will really toss me to death. If I can't cure the disease, I will have jaundice all the time. Hospitalized, there is always a risk of deterioration... Alas!Go to bed for a while.
