Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 25: Practice military skills and see the results after one year
Wei Yuan left Wei Ruyi's home and headed straight for the capital with hundreds of personal guards.

If you ride a horse from Yangzhou to the capital, including rest time, it will take about four to five days.

However, Wei Yuan and his party abruptly shortened this time to three days.

Outside Bianjing City.

Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi looked at the tall and thick city walls and the endless pedestrians coming and going at the city gate, and they both felt a little emotional.

"I've been away from home for several years, and finally I'm back."

"Although we won't stay long this time, one day, there will be a place for you and me as brothers in Bianjing City."

Hearing this, Xu Changzhi smiled and said, "Brother Wei is so confident?"

Wei Yuan laughed twice, "Hello Bianjing, Bianjing has a great future!"

Then he rode into the city.

Xu Changzhi arranged for hundreds of personal guards to rest outside the city, and then followed closely behind Wei Yuan.

He wants to return to Yongyihou Mansion, not to follow Wei Yuan into the palace.

To express gratitude, Wei Yuan alone is enough.

When Wei Yuan arrived outside the imperial city and revealed his identity to the guards, he waited with peace of mind.

A full half an hour passed before a senior official came to lead him into the imperial city.

After all, Wei Yuan had visited the Forbidden City in his previous life. In this life, he was not too surprised to see this imperial city that was full of luxury and nobility.

Entering the imperial city, the first thing that catches your eye is the place where ministers go to court, called the 'Purple Chen Hall'.

After passing this palace, you will reach the palace city.

The layout of the entire Bianjing can be divided into outer city, inner city, imperial city and palace city.

This so-called palace city is the imperial palace.

At this moment, Emperor Jiayou was handling daily government affairs in the Xuanzheng Hall.

The lieutenant asked Wei Yuan to wait outside the palace, and he went to report.

When he arrived in front of Emperor Jiayou, the lieutenant-general bent down and bowed: "Your Majesty, the guard regiment has been trained."

After hearing this, Emperor Jiayou was still looking at the memorial in his hand and did not respond.

The lieutenant general did not dare to continue speaking, so he had to wait quietly.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

From sunrise to sunset, the guards guarding the door of Xuanzheng Hall changed one batch after another.

Emperor Jiayou still had no intention of summoning Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan just kept standing.

He secretly guessed that maybe the officials didn't like him taking his guards to Yangzhou and were angry about it.

So I made up my mind that no matter when I wait, I must see Emperor Jiayou today.

It was not until dinner time that Emperor Jiayou, who was in the Xuanzheng Hall, put aside the latest memorial he had read, glanced at the chamberlain beside him, and said:

"How many hours has Wei Yuan been standing outside the palace?"

The chamberlain responded: "It's been two and a half hours since I got back to Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiayou's expression remained unchanged and he nodded calmly, "Let him come in."

The chamberlain bowed and said, "No."

Then, standing outside the hall, looking at Wei Yuan, he said loudly:

"Wei Yuan, the regiment training envoy of Xuan Dynasty, enters the palace."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists at the eunuch. Then he went straight to the palace and saw Emperor Jiayou sitting as firmly as a mountain. He knelt down and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, Weiyuan, pays homage to your Majesty and wishes you a long life!"

Emperor Jiayou said indifferently:

"I have made you wait for so long. Do you feel resentful in your heart?"

Since ancient times, the emperor has been heaven.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

Other emperors, not only made their ministers stand and wait, but also made them kneel for days and nights, so what?

Only the benevolent Emperor Jiayou would use such an opening to say his first words to Wei Yuan.

Having said that, if it were any other emperor, Wei Yuan would never go straight to the Sheng family in Yangzhou with a hundred personal guards.

Wei Yuan did not raise his head, his forehead still touched the ground and said:

"Your Majesty has many things to do every day. Don't ask me to wait for half a day. Even if I wait for half a month, I am willing to wait."

Hearing this, Emperor Jiayou showed an imperceptible smile, "You are quite good at talking. You are not at all straightforward like Teacher Qi."

Wei Yuan said: "Teacher is an extraordinary general. I have little knowledge. How can I dare to compare with the teacher?"

"And this is the first time I have seen the Holy Appearance, and I am terrified. I am afraid that I will say the wrong thing and anger His Majesty."

Emperor Jiayou said: "Get up, I can't let you, a hero who sticks to the border, kneel all the time."

Wei Yuan responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am ashamed to be called a hero. In the whole world, Your Majesty is the only true hero!"

After that, he slowly stood up.

Emperor Jiayou looked at him seriously, and his thoughts were in a trance. He seemed to have seen a certain general who had been promoted by him and regarded as 'Wei Qing'. Unfortunately.
In the end, the man died depressed.

"The spirit and spirit are very similar. If there is another tattoo on the face, even the appearance will be somewhat similar."

Emperor Jiayou murmured. Wei Yuan's mind instantly recalled a name.

I heard my teacher say that when that person was here, all the nobles would make way for him.

During his time, it was also the most prosperous years for warriors.

Unfortunately, he died.

Some people say that he was angered to death by the Prime Minister Han, because the Prime Minister Han once said that only those who were called out at Donghua Gate were good men.

He's just a reckless warrior.

"My Wei Qing is dead, can this Wei Yuan become my Huo Qubing?"

Emperor Jiayou murmured in his heart, paused, and said to Wei Yuan:

"You are so brave, personally leading the border troops to Yangzhou. Do you know what the crime is?"

Wei Yuan kowtowed again and said: "I know my guilt!"

I can't say what the crime is.

Emperor Jiayou once said that when generals come to Beijing due to business or orders, they can indeed bring personal guards.

But he went to Yangzhou first.

Already overstepped.

Moreover, just listen to what the boss says, it goes in the left ear and out the right ear.

If you really want to punish yourself, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the palace.

Emperor Jiayou thought he would defend himself, but unexpectedly he confessed his crime frankly. He couldn't help but curiously said:

"Don't you want to explain it to me?"

Wei Yuan raised his head slightly, glanced at Emperor Jiayou, and said with a smile, "May I speak?"

Seeing this, Emperor Jiayou couldn't help but smile.
"Well, Wei Yuan, you haven't learned the slightest bit from your teacher's uprightness, yet you're here waiting for me."

Wei Yuan said quickly: "I beg the officials for their understanding."

"I was born in a young age, and my family went through great changes when I was young. My eldest sister had no choice but to be sold into an official family in order to make a living for the family."

"I'm not afraid of official jokes. My eldest sister is now just a concubine, and she's pregnant again. In an official's family, there are always many rules. My eldest sister has a quiet temperament. I'm worried that she will be wronged, so..."

There is nothing to hide about these things.

There is a branch of the Imperial City Division in Yangzhou, and you can't hide it even if you want to.

It's better to tell the truth and gain Emperor Jiayou's trust.

Sure enough, when Emperor Jiayou heard this, he nodded subconsciously and said:

"You are a good boy who knows how to repay your kindness. Your eldest sister has done a lot for your Wei family. Now that you have an official appointment, you should indeed visit your eldest sister, but you have exceeded the rules after all."

"I will remember this first. If you commit other crimes in the future, I will settle this matter with you."

In other words, because you are a good, obedient and sensible minister, I will not pursue the case for the time being, but I have your handle.

After speaking, Emperor Jiayou threw several memorials in front of Wei Yuan,

"These are all tips to impeach you. I haven't opened them to read. Do you want to take a look?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "The officials don't look at it, and the ministers don't look at it either."

Emperor Jiayou smiled and got down to business.
"I heard from the Imperial City Secretary and the Governor of Daizhou that you have developed a new military training method at Yanmen Pass."

"I have collected a few of your military training techniques and asked people from the Imperial City Department to practice them. It is indeed miraculous in strengthening the body, but it is still not as good as your personal training."

"I would like to ask you, if your military training method is unified for the entire army, can it improve the combat effectiveness of our generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Currently, Emperor Jiayou has always wanted to accomplish one thing, and that is to train a new army, a new army that can not only solve the problem of redundant troops, but also be invincible!
If Wei Yuan's new military training method can have miraculous effects, it will be like a godsend to him!
Therefore, he was very concerned about this matter.

Wei Yuan did not dare to make excuses and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have tried this military training method. As for the results, it still needs time to verify."

"Currently, the only thing I can be sure of is that training according to this method can enhance the physical strength of the soldiers."

Throughout the ages, the most strictly forbidden thing is the art of war, followed by the art of military training.

If Wei Yuan really created a set of military training methods that could be applied to the entire army, then he would be the first military master to establish a sect.

“Does it take a certain amount of time to see results?”

Emperor Jiayou murmured and said:
"I will give you one year. Within one year, you alone will have the final say on behalf of the state's officers and soldiers."

"One year later, you bring Daizhou's soldiers to Beijing. I want to see the results of your training in person."

One year. To be honest, time is tight.

However, there was not much time left for him and Da Zhou.

According to reports from spies, Xixia and Northern Liao have become increasingly close after the Battle of Yanmen Pass.

Emperor Jiayou was worried that soon there would be a big war, or even a national war, waiting for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wei Yuan was overjoyed after hearing this. If he achieved results in a year, he would definitely be promoted to a higher position!

Thinking of this, he said firmly: "My lord, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Emperor Jiayou recognized and appreciated his respectful attitude.

It would be great if those civil servants were as obedient and obedient as he was.

"In your military training, there are some methods that can strengthen the body, which are different from martial arts, but I don't know, can children be trained?"

I heard Emperor Jiayou say this suddenly for no reason.

Wei Yuan secretly thought to himself, does the official want his children to practice? To strengthen your body?
