At half noon, many soldiers and horses gathered outside Anding Gate in the north of the city. Chang Yu did not go alone when inspecting the nine sides. In addition to Shi Kefa, the Minister of the Ministry of War, there were also officials from the Sanfa Department, and even officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household. But not First and second in command.
The number of people accompanying this trip was much larger than before. In addition to Chang Yu's nearly 100 personal guards, there was also the Black Wolf Battalion of the Dongchang Guards. The other two battalions left Beijing on business early in the morning.
In addition, he also brought several maids, including Lian Xin. The fellow officials had no doubts about this. It was normal for a big boss like Chang Yu to travel with many maids, servants, and stewards.
But only a few people know the real reason. The purpose of bringing Lian Xin and a few maids is to take care of Princess Kunxing. Of course, some people will wonder if Princess Kunxing can just take care of the palace maids.
Of course not. The palace maid has subtly developed a completely different etiquette from outsiders. Her words and deeds can easily reveal her identity, or at least make people suspicious.
The identity of the brother and sister on this trip needs to be kept strictly confidential, but Chang Yu’s personal attendants and guards all know the two, but they can only pretend not to know. Even Lian Xin doesn’t know that the person she is serving is Kun Xing of the Ming Dynasty. Princess.
Like last time, Kun Xing needed a personal escort. She asked Song Luoyu to go with her, but Chang Yu refused and told Luo Yu to prepare for a wedding and have other arrangements.
Then...now Sujing stared at the handsome eunuch behind Chang Yu again and again. Princess Kunxing felt uncomfortable looking at her.
"Are you the princess in the palace?" Su Jing finally couldn't help but speak. Kun Xing raised his eyebrows: "Is there another princess outside the palace?"
The corner of Su Jing's mouth curled up: "It is indeed a golden branch, jade leaves, fine skin and tender meat."
Kun Xing was speechless and stopped talking to her. After a while, he secretly pulled Chang Yu who was talking to Shi Kefa and said, "That nun is so unruly."
"You want to behave yourself and go back to the palace?" Chang Yu tilted his head, glanced at Su Jing and smiled. After hearing this, Su Jing couldn't help but smile, and she was a little proud.
Princess Kunxing snorted angrily. Zhu Cixiang next to her smiled slightly and tugged on her hand, but Shi Kefa accidentally caught a glimpse of her. Then he frowned and began to look at the eunuch. Why did he look so familiar?
He was ordered to inspect the nine sides, but the Ming Dynasty now only has four towns in the nine sides. Chang Yu originally planned to go straight to Xuanfu Town to make drastic changes. He could also knock on the mountain to scare the tigers and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. However, he considered that he would have to attend a wedding in nine days, and the round trip would be too long. It’s so far away that I’m afraid I’ll have to return as soon as I arrive.
So he decided to start from Jizhou Town in the east. After checking Jizhou, he would come back to attend the wedding and then go west.
The jurisdiction of Jizhou Town starts from Shanhaiguan in the east, passes through Lulong, Qian'an, Zunhua, Jizhou, Pinggu, Shunyi, Changping and ends at the border town of Juyongguan Town in the west for more than 2,000 miles. The protection of the capital is the top priority of the nine borders.
The chief military officer in Jizhou is Tang Tong, who was recently knighted as Dingxibo. He has a good relationship with Chang Yu. Not long ago, Chang Yu came back from outside the customs and went to Santun Camp to visit him.
As for Shanhaiguan, Chang Yu didn't plan to go there in person. He had already checked it when he went to borrow food and grass a few days ago. The problem of food and salary vacancies was not serious, and he almost scared Gao Di into falling ill that time. This guy is scared to death.
Patrolling the border is not just for fun. The carriages and horses rest for thirty miles, and there are all kinds of fun along the way. The soldiers may ride and shoot together, or hunt together, and sometimes sing military songs together. It was so joyful that even the accompanying civil servants felt excited in their hearts when they heard it. When they learned that the lyrics and music were all written by the young eunuch, they felt even more ashamed. The sense of superiority as a civil servant disappeared without a trace.
Are you kidding me? Being in the military can still give you a sense of superiority?
Shi Kefa didn't have much feelings for Swordsman, but he admired the song "Men Should Be Strong" and repeatedly suggested that it should be promoted throughout the army as the military song of the Ming Dynasty.
Chang Yu said that he was composing a new military song and was preparing to promote it throughout the army. A kind of civil servant was looking forward to it and kept asking, should he write the lyrics or the music first? How many lyrics have been written? Can he be all ears to listen to a few words …
Unable to refuse after several attempts, Chang Yu had to bite the bullet and say a few words, but he knew how to create a p. It was all plagiarism. After thinking about it, he recited Tu Honggang's "loyalty to the country"
The smoke rises and the country looks north
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword air is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Who can resist in twenty years?
Hateful and mad, the sword is directed towards
How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in other places?
Why would you die to serve your family and country?
I can't bear to sigh and feel even more speechless and my eyes are filled with blood and tears.
The horse's hoof goes south and people look north
People look north, the grass is green and yellow dust is flying
I am willing to defend the land and restore the borders
The great Ming Dynasty will bring congratulations from all over the world
The opening chapter was majestic, and in an instant a picture of an iron horse fighting on the battlefield came out of his mind. Shi Kefa couldn't help but shout "Hello". Who among the accompanying civil servants was not a Jinshi, and all of them claimed to have extraordinary literary talents. At this moment, he suddenly I felt my face burning, and I could hear that the little eunuch used this word to directly express the meaning of serving the country with loyalty.
But what is even more shocking is that the young eunuch in front of him is truly a genius. He is invincible in battles and is known to both the government and the public. During this time, the cultural circles in Beijing have been rumored that his articles are talented. Although his works are few, they are all masterpieces.
It is said that a few days ago when I was out of customs, I climbed the Great Wall and the emotional song "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" shocked the cultural circle. Many people bluntly said that they did not believe that it was written by him, but some people firmly believed that it was written by a young eunuch. The reason is simple. The person who wrote such a majestic work must have been in the military and had a big picture. Secondly, this poem was passed down by the prince. It is said that the prince was nearby at the time...
For example, the last time I traveled, Chang Yu was dressed as 13. He was surrounded by officers and soldiers who were well-versed in writing. He felt heroic and happy, but the impact was limited. However, this time he was accompanied by twenty or thirty civil servants from the three law departments, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Poems and books, I know how wonderful these words are.
And so many people are watching him frown and meditate on every word and every sentence. It is definitely not plagiarism. Whether it is the song Serving the Country with Loyalty, or the previous song Swordsman, Men Should Be Strong, or the song Qinyuan Spring Snow, you can hang it. Even after searching through the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, I couldn't find a single similarity.
You have to say that the people around him are deliberately praising him, but if the young eunuch is not in the yamen or in the army, anyone who can read a few big characters in these two places can be called a genius.
Clothes! The dozens of accompanying civil servants had mixed feelings in their hearts. They once felt that they were really useless. Han Chuang had studied hard for more than ten years, and his papers and martial arts were not far inferior to this little eunuch who appeared from nowhere.
But what impressed these civil servants the most was not the young eunuch's literary talent, but the friendliness and casualness with which he dealt with people.
Needless to say, Wei Zhongxian's prestige and rules in the past were too many. There were too many sinister and ruthless rumors about Wei Zhongxian after he became a young eunuch. His expression changed upon hearing it.
In addition, Chang Yu usually keeps a low profile and rarely interacts with civil servants, so his impression of him is no different from Wei Zhongxian in the past.
But the performance of the little eunuch along the way made them dumbfounded. The dignified admiral of the East Factory, a man who stomped his feet in court and everyone in the country, was trembling with fear. However, he hooked up with the soldiers around him and sometimes gambled money together. , sometimes hunt together and even fight... He is simply a wild child, not even a little bit like the eunuch of Dongchang.
They were collectively confused as to what kind of person this eunuch was.
On the other hand, it was Shi Kefa who chatted and laughed with Chang Yu, both a teacher and a friend, without any sense of awkwardness, which surprised all the accompanying civil servants. Is this still the Secretary of the Ministry of War who usually likes to have a black face?
When Chang Yu's "loyalty to serve the country" came out, he knew someone was going to cry. Sure enough, he glanced behind him and saw a fair eunuch with tears on his face. He was speechless. He hadn't even composed the music yet...
But surprisingly, Su Jing also cried. Chang Yu was really curious: "I never thought that the famous killer Night Demon also has a heart of loyalty to serve the country."
Su Jing rolled her eyes at him and said: "I am just a weak woman in the world. I don't have such big ambitions. Serving the country with loyalty is left to you gentlemen." She sighed and wiped her tears: "But the song Swordsman is proud of the world. Heartbreaking."
Hey, it turns out that people in the world are more impressed by this song and lyrics.
"Jianghu people, Jianghu song" Chang Yu smiled slightly and turned to leave when Sujing stopped him: "I have something to ask you."
"Ask," Chang Yu said casually.
"Why do you get so close to other people when you talk to me and always put on a show of authority when talking to me?" Chang Yu was stunned for a long time by Su Jing's question: "Because you are different."
"Why am I different?" Su Jing was a little flustered and couldn't help but pursed her lips.
"For example, others call me Lord Governor or Lord, claiming to be in a humble position, a subordinate, but you have always been, you and me, how different you are." Chang Yu said and laughed and turned to leave. Su Jing was furious and suddenly thought of What laughed again, hey, is different.
