It turns out that this guy wants to join the Jin Yiwei, so no wonder he's hanging around me. I was speechless, and Lu Song frowned and said, "Yuchun, finish the current matters before we talk!"
I have been coming to Jinyiwei for a long time, and I know a lot about Jinyiwei. Emperor Taizu transformed the pro-army into Jinyiwei and adopted the method of hereditary substitution. That is to say, as long as you have a son or grandson, you can become a Jinyiwei in the future, and you are not allowed to do anything else. They all become royal guards. In addition, those with special merits such as military merit can join the Jinyiwei with approval. I am the son of Eunuch Zhang, so I am able to join the Imperial Guard. Hardy should have joined the Imperial Guard because of his father's military merit. It is not easy for ordinary people to join the Imperial Guard.
I was afraid that the two of them would be embarrassed, so I quickly changed the subject and asked Lu Song: "Brother Lu, how many years have you been in Jinyiwei?" Lu Song understood what I meant and deliberately said loudly: "My family is hereditary Jinyiwei, and my father is Lu Tao, a thousand households in Jinyiwei in Nanjing. , I have been in the industry for five years, and now I feel ashamed that I am still a small flag, unlike Zhang Qi, a young talent who became the general flag at the beginning. "
It seems that he knows all my details. This is not surprising. Every new member of the Jinyi Guard will have relevant records archived, and anyone with a certain position will see them. Although Nanjing Jinyiwei is not as famous as Beijing Jinyiwei, I quickly handed over my hand and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it turns out that Lu Qianhu is your father. I heard that when the shift was transferred in October, I originally wanted to transfer Lu Qianhu to Beijing. , Lu Qianhu refused and still stayed in Nanjing."
Lu Song's eyes lit up and he said: "Thanks to the emperor's gift, my father had the opportunity to come to Beijing. However, his old man was in poor health and could not bear the cold climate in the north, so he stayed in Nanjing. After a few days, I will go there too. Take care of your father, and secondly, take care of your wife and children.”
Xia Yuchun interjected: "Brother Lu just got a son. People are so happy when happy events happen!" After hearing this, Lu Song couldn't hide his smile and said: "The Lu family has been passed down for three generations. Now that I have a son, I will let him go." Heart. The Lu family followed Emperor Taizong in the early years and made some achievements. Emperor Taizong gave him an iron scroll of alchemy and became a thousand households of Jinyiwei. The Lu family did not dare to be careless. At least, my wife was able to live up to her expectations and gave birth to Bing'er. It can be considered that the Lu family has an heir."
Lu Song said happily, with a smile on his thin face. He even coughed a few times, and there was a blush on his face. I am a doctor, so I could tell that his sick appearance was related to lung energy, so I smiled and said: "Congratulations to Brother Lu on the birth of his son, but Brother Lu must also take care of his health!" Lu Song was stunned and understood what I meant about his health. , then he cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Mr. General Banner. I have a stubborn illness that cannot be cured for a long time, and I get sick all year round. There is nothing I can do about it. It is better in the south, but when I come to the capital, my body and bones can't bear it." I nodded and said, "Here It’s cold and freezing, and people from the north are quite adaptable. Brother Lu is from the south, so I’m afraid he’s not used to it. Wear more clothes, drink some Qingfei Decoction, and take some tonic. If you have time, come to me at Zhenfu Division and I’ll give you some Take a look."
Lu Song was very grateful and said: "Thank you, thank you very much. I can stay in Beijing for a few days, and I will definitely come to you then." But the Lu family is blessed!" I waved my hand and said, "The medical skills passed down from my family are not necessarily very good. I just want to give them a try. After all, there are many famous doctors in the capital. Brother Lu can take a look around."
Since the Wucheng Army and Horses Division was here and I still had something to do, I said goodbye to Lu Song and Xia Yuchun and headed back to the capital. On the way back to Beijing, almost no one was seen. I was confused, thinking to myself that Hardy should have told Liao Jianzhong the news long ago. Why didn't anyone investigate when such a big thing happened?
At dusk, I arrived at the west gate of the capital and saw a few soldiers, under the command of a captain, closing the city gate, but they were just hanging in the air. In the past, the city gates were not locked until the time of Xu, but it was indeed unusual to close them early today.
I hurried forward, but a soldier looked me up and down, stopped me and said, "The city gate is closed. Let's enter the city again tomorrow!" In the past, I was able to pass without any obstruction while wearing Feiyu clothes. But today, I changed my clothes and it was no longer possible. . I saw that the city gate had not been completely closed, so I thought about it and said: "I am Zhang Ying, the general banner of Fusi, Jinyiwei Town. I have been ordered to go on a business trip. I have something important to come to the city. Please make it easy and let me pass!" As I said, I He took out the badge, and the captain heard it not far away. He came over quickly, looked at the badge, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that you are on duty, please come in quickly!" As he said this, he directed people. Lift the city gate upwards.
I smiled and nodded, pretending to be careless, and asked: "Why are the city gates closed so early today?" The captain said in a low voice: "This little guy doesn't know, there was a message from above to close the city gate at Youshi. Although the city gate The number of people coming in and out of the gate is not as good as that of other city gates, but there are indeed a lot less people today!" I asked again: "Is there any big event in the city?" The captain looked around and whispered: "I heard that the ministers in the court and the princes in the inner court They had a quarrel, and the entire capital was under martial law."
"Do you know who the quarrel was?" I asked tentatively.
The captain looked at me and said, "I heard that the elders of the cabinet, as well as Mr. Han, the Minister of Household Affairs, wrote a letter together asking the emperor to deal with the eight father-in-laws!"
I was startled, remembering that Lin Sheng looked panicked after learning the news. There had indeed been a lot of news recently that the courtiers couldn't stand the Eight Tigers' domineering behavior and asked the emperor to deal with them. This is not a secret, I just didn’t expect it to come so quickly. I don’t know if this is true, I was just following orders. "
I asked the captain again why the door was only half closed, and the captain said: "It said that Dongchang sent people to Nanjing to pick up people. They will leave here in a while, so let me keep the door open. Look, they are coming!"
I heard the sound and went over, and sure enough, several horses were galloping outside the city, and they arrived in a blink of an eye. Except for a middle-aged man in a green robe, the others were all dressed in black and wearing a big cloak. The leader was none other than Liu Tong, who had been intercepted last time. It was unfavorable to kill Mu Bin. Gu Dayong was very angry and was quickly transferred from Jinyiwei. Unexpectedly, he went to Dongchang. What happened here was really weird and strange. I quickly stepped forward to salute and said: "Master Liu! It's been a long time." not see!"
When Liu Tong saw me, he was really startled, then smiled again and said, "Zhang Ying, didn't you go to Juyongguan? Why are you back? What are you doing here?"
I hurriedly replied: "My subordinate was ordered to return to the capital. I just came back here. Is your lord going out on business?" Liu Tong turned around, pointed his horse whip at the man on the horse, and said, "I was also ordered to escort Lord Wang back to the capital. !”
Before I could say anything, the man on the horse chuckled and said, "Mr. Liu, you are really good. Others hate me so much that you don't even say that I am a prisoner of the imperial court!" This man looks dignified, calm and natural. . Liu Tong smiled and said: "Master Wang, you are still the head of the Ministry of War. Naturally, I dare not offend you. When we get to Dongchang, I won't know whether you are still there or not!" Master Wang laughed and said: "Where am I? It’s all Wang Shouren!”
The man on the horse turned out to be Wang Shouren, I couldn't help but be surprised! Although this Wang Shouren is only over thirty years old, he is a well-known figure.
Wang Shouren was born into a prominent family in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province in the eighth year of Chenghua. His father, Wang Hua, was the number one scholar in the seventeenth year of Chenghua and is currently the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wang Shouren was born with a special temperament. It is said that his mother did not give birth until she was fourteen months pregnant. Before he was born, his grandmother dreamed of a god wearing scarlet jade, and the clouds encouraged him to hold an infant child and fall from the sky. His grandfather named him He named it "Cloud" and named the place where he lived "Ruiyun Tower".
Wang Shouren still couldn't speak at the age of five, but he had memorized the books his grandfather had read. An eminent monk passed by his house, touched his head and said, "What a good boy, but it's a pity that the truth has been revealed." According to the "Analects of Confucius: Wei Linggong", my grandfather said, "Knowing and benevolence cannot keep it. Even if you gain it, you will lose it." He was renamed "Shouren", and then he began to speak. His father Wang Hua loved the landscape of Shaoxing, so his family left Yuyao and moved to Shaoxing. As a child, Wang Shouren had a good family background and therefore had a very superior learning environment. At the age of twelve, Wang Shouren officially entered the teacher's school. When he was thirteen years old, his mother Zheng passed away. It was very unfortunate to lose his mother at a young age, and it was a great setback for him. But he has high aspirations and different thoughts than ordinary people, and he still works tirelessly.
Once when I was discussing with Mr. Shu Shi what was the most important thing in the world, he was different from the ordinary people and believed that "the imperial examination is not the first priority". The most important thing in the world is to study and become a sage. At that time, the country's government was corrupt and civil unrest occurred repeatedly. During the Zhengtong period, Yingzong was captured by the Oara tribe of Mongolia. This incident cast a huge shadow on Wang Shouren's young heart. He vowed to learn the art of war well and serve his country. When he was fifteen years old, he wrote to the emperor many times and offered suggestions to quell the civil uprising, but to no avail. In the same year, he traveled to Juyongguan and Shanhaiguan for a month. Looking around the outside of the Great Wall, he already had the ambition to explore all directions. In the first year of Hongzhi, when Wang Shouren was seventeen years old, he went to Nanchang to marry Zhu Yanghe's daughter Zhu, but on the wedding day, no one could find him. It turned out that that day when he was wandering around, he met a Taoist priest meditating there, so he asked the Taoist priest for advice. The Taoist priest taught him some health-preserving techniques, and he sat in meditation opposite the Taoist priest and forgot to return until his father-in-law found him the next day.
