In just over a month, Xu Tianchen has almost become a soldier. Of course, he has been beaten less often. He is beaten by the old soldiers. He looks sideways every day and looks at everyone. When he is beaten, he directly holds his head and lies down. On the ground, he curled up and did whatever he wanted. No one dared to really beat him to pieces, it was just a physical pain.
Among the new recruits, Xu Tianchen is always the most handsome one.
This guy is worthy of being called the Wenquxing by Xunyang Taoist priests. He doesn't know poetry, but he can take advantage of loopholes in military law better than anyone else.
After watching Xu Tianchen, who was as fleshy as a hob, enter the queue on the flag stand, Chu Qing asked Fu San to call Master Liu.
Chen Chuliu, who had some disabilities in his legs and feet, ran over and called the eldest young master.
"It's not the young master, I'm talking about you. You're so old, why don't you always listen to others' advice?" Chu Qing patted the side, motioned for the sixth master to sit up, and said angrily: "Wangyuan City is not far away. Riding It won't take more than a quarter of an hour to get on the horse, so go to the medical clinic, the doctors there are all real famous doctors, at least prescribe a prescription to see if it can relieve the pain."
"Hey, they are all old injuries, nothing to see." The sixth master said with a smile: "Young master, you have so many official duties every day, and you always think about being humble. There is no place for this old face to be humble."
Chu Qing chuckled and said: "Otherwise, fifty years old is actually not old. There are many widows in the city. I asked Tao Weiran to pay more attention to you. At least you can get married. In the future, someone will take care of you and marry a fat woman." If nothing happens, I can rub your legs."
"Oh, oh, oh, young master, please don't say that. You are so humble at this age, why should you get married? Don't harm a good woman."
"Then you don't have a son and a half, so your life has been in vain."
"It's good, it's good. I'm with my brothers. It's good. Once I die and I'm buried in the earth, who will I need to take care of me in my old age?"
"Damn." Chu Qing bumped Mr. Liu with his shoulder hard and scolded him with a smile: "You don't want me to take care of you until you die. That's not possible. I won't suffer this loss. No, no, no, let Tao Weiran do it. I’ll look for you in the city.”
Fu San joked: "Sure, don't worry, young master. I will go into the city to talk to Fatty Tao about this tonight."
"Well, let's do it tomorrow. I'm going to apply for citizenship tomorrow. Let's talk to Tao Weiran about this, about letting the old soldier join the Qingdao Aunt Singles Group... No, about matching the single old soldier, let him have some snacks."
Mr. Liu refused with his mouth, but he was honest with his body. Hehehe was happy.
Chu Qing pointed to Xu Tianchen who was in the queue: "Sixth Master, what's going on with that kid? I see he's been beaten every two days. Why doesn't he have a long memory?"
"The skin has been beaten hard. I don't know the heights of the world. I thought that brothers were only capable of this. If Master Tao hadn't told him not to hurt him, he would have been tidied up a long time ago. Didn't Hu Zi say that he would go to the grassland in a few months? If If you agree to let these aristocratic families go with you, you will be able to tell whether they are mules or horses."
"I'll think about this again."
After thinking about it, Chu Qing, who was more interested in Xu Tianchen, asked: "I see the recent training, arching and horsemanship, riding skills, swords and sticks. This guy can even compete with the old soldiers. Is it because he has trained hard or is he talented?" Genius?"
"Both of them. When it comes to hard work, he is no different from others. When it comes to talent, he eats delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and his body and bones are strong."
"Is it a good seedling?"
Master Liu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We have to go, sooner or later. This guy doesn't say anything, but the brothers can tell. He is holding back his energy, practicing hard to kill the enemy, thinking about when he can overwhelm the veterans. When the time comes, On this day, he gained prestige and people left."
"That's it."
Chu Qing was not surprised, nor was he disappointed, because he didn't have high hopes.
"Where are the other family members, are there any who are really willing to stay?"
"No, not one."
Chu Qing sighed silently, he was too whimsical after all.
"The little chick is getting married. Damn it. After trying it for so long, no one wants to stay. I've raised a bunch of trash in vain. Damn it."
…………
The border areas want to be quiet, but there is more peace in the capital.
Chu Qing wanted to be quiet, but the courtiers and the great Confucians were still waiting for him.
Although the border is far away, it is not out of reach, nor is it an unclaimed land, not to mention that there are already courtiers and aristocratic families inquiring about the border and Chu Qing.
Chu Qing is no longer in the world, but there are still legends about him in the world.
The commander-in-chief of the Thousand Cavalry Camp is not in the capital, but he still occupies the headlines in the capital.
Qianqiying conducted a thorough investigation of various academies and captured dozens of famous Confucian scholars.
Chu Qing ordered to recruit troops by force, and the sons of wealthy families were brought into the border army to join the army.
Without the permission of the imperial court, large-scale construction projects were carried out in Wangyuan City.
The mountains and forests in the border city were the "natural barriers" of the border, and Chu Qing ordered them to be cut down.
The gates of Jinge Town were demolished and turned into a place for grain storage.
Seventy-eight out of ten people in Tongcheng were "forcibly" moved into Wangyuan City.
He wrote a private letter asking for twists and bow strings, but the court still didn't bother to ask, but the Ministry of War dismantled the longbows of the six battalions.
One by one, each one has something to do with Chu Qing and has nothing to do with the imperial court. They are all "misbehaviors" committed by Chu Qing in private, and all were done without the imperial court's complete knowledge.
All of a sudden, the people and scholars in Beijing were criticizing him with words and writings.
At least that's what the so-called civil servants and scholars said, and they couldn't help but habitually represent "folks" and "common people" for the Nth time.
However, except for the fact that many scholars came to the palace to see the emperor after Qianqiying conducted a thorough investigation of various academies half a month ago, there were no ministers in the court to impeach Chu Qing.
But many courtiers know that it is time for some people to take action, and they have been waiting.
There are many people who dislike Chu Qing, and there are countless people who want to put him to death.
But there are too many lessons learned from the past, which makes these people who keep waiting for the opportunity hide in the dark and dare not act rashly.
Until an old man came to Beijing to "ask for Chu", all the aristocratic families and courtiers once again saw hope and began to meet frequently in private.
The old man's surname was Xu, Xu Shiqing, which was known to all scholars in the country.
There are many famous Confucian scholars in Zhongzhou, but among the top three is Xu Shiqing, and the remaining two are Tao Yao, the Prince's Young Master, and Gong Cheng'an, Zeng Guozijian's Jijiujiu.
Of the three famous scholars, one died inexplicably, another surrendered to the enemy, and the last one, Xu Shiqing, entered the capital and followed Gong Chengan's old path.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the capital. It turned out that Xu Shiqing's favorite youngest son, Xu Tianchen, was forcibly taken to the border to join the army by Chu Qing.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar. They were surprised at Chu Qing's boldness, and also shocked that this guy had been relentlessly pursuing death for a long time.
Lin Mansion, main hall.
The master of the Lin Mansion is called Lin Jue, the right minister of the Ministry of War.
The Minister of War was not in Beijing, but went to Nanguan and temporarily took charge of Nanguan, taking over Ma Rujing's position.
This means that in name, the leader of the Ministry of War is Lin Jue, the right servant.
But this is in name only. In fact, Lin Jue is very unpopular in the Ministry of War. Not to mention Qin Gang, who has great military achievements and seniority than him, even several generals of Yunhui don't take him seriously, especially General Yunhui. Tan Zhongping.
The reason why Lin Jue is not popular is because this guy is very close to the civil servants. His military exploits are mediocre and he has fought several battles with no success. However, he is good at sneaking into the camp and has a thick skin, so he got there. The position of the right minister of the Ministry of War.
At this time, Lin Jue's veins were bulging out on his forehead.
In the past, it was okay for the generals not to take him seriously. Today, in the Ministry of War office, Tan Zhongping actually humiliated him in front of so many people.
The cause was still related to Chu Qing. The twisted tendons and bowstrings were sent to the border a few days ago, and no one had any objections, including Lin Jue.
Today, Lin Jui went to court and was drinking tea in the squad room. Tan Zhongping kicked the door open and started to curse.
It is said that he saw Lin Shui and several civil servants together in Liuhe yesterday, and these civil servants all have good personal relations with some great scholars in Beijing. Recently, scholars have been criticizing Chu Qing, so Tan Zhongping suspected Lin Shui. He wanted to collude with outsiders to impeach Chu Qing.
Don't tell me, it is indeed the case. Those civil servants met with Lin Jue in private just to inquire about the situation at the border and see if they could collect more information about Chu Qing.
Although Lin Jue was a military commander, he was also a well-rounded person. He would definitely not dare to offend Chu Qing, but he had no scruples about betraying a family's favor. Many things that happened at the border were told to civil servants and officials by this guy. Family.
In front of so many generals, Tan Zhongping not only scolded him, but also moved his hand, kicked the table over, and went up to fuck Lin Jue.
Who is Tan Zhongping? Brother Pingtou from the Ministry of War, there are only four people in the whole capital who can suppress him, Chang Ao, Huang Laosi, Zhuguo General Qin Gang, and Chu Wensheng.
Tan Zhongping, the right minister of the Ministry of War, didn't take it seriously. After he kicked over the table, a group of people rushed in and Tan Zhongping took him away.
Lin Jue, who had lost face, became angrier as he thought about it. Although they usually disliked each other, Tan Zhongping had never taken the initiative to trouble him. What happened today?
The housekeeper walked in: "Master, the supervisor Liu Shang is here to pay his respects."
"Master Liu is here, please come in quickly. If you can't, I will pick him up personally."
