Capital Division, Ministry of War.
Tie Xuan looked at the two books on the desk and couldn't help but have a headache.
The first booklet costs three taels of silver. The content is simple and rough, but it also involves the evaluation of some abilities of martial arts practitioners, and its accuracy is quite impressive.
The second booklet is priced at five taels of silver and contains detailed and detailed information. It not only records the strength and accuracy of the martial artist, but also the past achievements.
This is a bit embarrassing for the Ministry of War. The so-called past results are naturally the performance in the martial arts examination, the child examination, and the provincial examination. These materials are secrets of the imperial court, and the documents are sealed. Not to mention ordinary bookstores, they are other ministers and ministers outside the Ministry of War. Minister, if you want to look through these documents, you have to say hello.
Well now, the secrets of the imperial court are not only spread among the people, but also used to make money. Isn't this nonsense?
The minister, Lu Yuan, yawned. He was reprimanded by the emperor for a long time last night and did not sleep well. As for these books, Lu Yuan did not care. Anyway, people from the Ministry of War would not watch and steal. The one who was the thief was Gu Sansen.
"If this continues, it is inevitable that the imperial censor will impeach the Ministry of War."
Tie Xuan was a little depressed.
Lu Yuan raised his sleeves to wet the tears trapped in the corners of his eyes, and spoke a little tiredly: "Right now, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is being rectified. If there is any movement, an impeachment report will be filed to avoid big problems again. It is normal to be impeached if something like this happens. , and I also heard that several censors have already had their breath and are writing memorials, which will probably be handed over tomorrow."
Memorials in the Ming Dynasty can range from a few hundred words to tens of thousands. It takes two or three days to write a memorial. When you are tired of writing, you can visit someone, shout a few words, and spread the news. These are all normal operations. .
Of course, there are advantages to this. You always have to go through the back door to ask for favors and give gifts.
Tie Xuan was very strong and did not want to go through the back door, nor did he care about the impeachment of the imperial censor. Although the problem lay with the Ministry of War, the person who carried out the execution was the Security Bureau. In other words, it was Zhu Yunwen who took away the document and was shamelessly raped by the Security Bureau. Use it to make money...
It is said that Tang's Bookstore has made eight thousand taels instead of 10,000 taels in the past few days. For this reason, the Ministry of Household Affairs even sent two officials to hide behind the curtain of Tang's Bookstore to calculate business taxes.
"How are the preparations for the small teaching field going?"
Tie Xuan threw the two books aside and ignored them.
Lu Yuan replied: "It's ready."
Tie Xuan picked up the teacup with satisfaction and blew a breath of hot air: "This martial arts test is hosted by the Ministry of War and the Chinese Army Governor's Office. The prisons of cabinet ministers Xie Jin and Yu Xin must be safe and have the sergeants check them again."
Just as Lu Yuan was about to give instructions, Liu Jun came in with documents in hand. Before he could get closer, he started shouting: "The teaching ground needs to be temporarily changed. King Yan, King Ning and other eight vassal kings are going to the small teaching ground to watch the martial arts." Will try."
"What are they going to do?"
Tie Xuan became even more depressed. These vassal kings were staying in the capital, so they had nothing to do.
Well.
It's true that the vassal king is too busy in the capital. Although Zhu Yunwen wants to build a group of mining "state-owned enterprises", it still takes time to prepare. It doesn't mean that you can hit the road with a hammer just by knowing the location, plus the ravines It's not easy to climb, and it's winter again. None of these vassal kings want to go into the ravine in the winter, and they plan to leave the capital after spring to make a fortune.
There is really nothing to do when they are idle, and it is not an option to create people in the palace all day, and they can't find some friends to drink, lest they be labeled as making friends with courtiers, so they are always bored.
Now that the capital is holding a martial arts test, it is such a lively event. How could this group of people not participate, not just to watch the excitement, but also to relax.
"Let's build a high platform for them."
Lu Yuan advised.
Tie Xuan wanted to refuse. There was only one day left before the martial arts test. At this time, a temporary stage was set up. If the quality was not up to standard and a certain prince was defeated, the responsibility would be huge.
"Yeah, all the adults are here."
The chamberlain Shuangxi came in, looked at Tie Xuan and others with a smile, and said: "There is an oral message."
Tie Xuan and others quickly saluted.
Shuangxi moved the whisk in his hand slightly and said with a smile: "The emperor said that I will attend the martial arts competition in person. This matter is kept secret and cannot be spread outside."
"ah?"
Tie Xuan was stunned, and Lu Yuan and Liu Jun were also surprised.
One thing you need to know is that during the imperial examination, Zhu Yunwen was not present in person, and the examiner could not see him. Only civil servants who passed the imperial examination and obtained the qualifications for the imperial examination could see Zhu Yunwen.
But now, Zhu Yunwen actually wants to come to the teaching field in person. What a face and honor this gives to the martial arts people!
This is a crisis for civil servants.
If Zhu Yunwen knew Tie Xuan's thoughts, he would probably want to kick him away. After the imperial examination, there is the imperial examination, and what happens after the martial arts examination? I don’t even have hair. If I don’t come out to meet at this time, when will we meet?
We can't set up a martial arts palace examination and compete in arm wrestling, sit-ups, or scratching our heads and scratching our heads in the main hall, right?
Tie Xuan had no choice but to send people to the small teaching ground to make new preparations. The emperor came and the specifications were different. At least he needed to get a high-quality fence to block the whistling north wind.
The small training ground is busy, and the martial arts practitioners are also preparing. The day that the people of the capital have been waiting for has finally arrived.
In the capital's small training ground, the horses neighed, the sergeants' armor was bright, and they were high-spirited.
Outside the competition area of the small training ground, there were three fences built. There were sergeants holding spears guarding both inside and outside the innermost fence, while outside the second and third fences on the outside, there were crowds of onlookers from the capital. The people were densely packed and lively.
Some businessmen discovered the business opportunity and brought several carts of stools with their clerks to sell them. The stools that originally cost a few cents were actually sold here for one cent. Even so, they were still out of stock.
There are too many people and not enough height. Use stools.
Some adults with children simply let their children ride on their necks and watch this grand martial arts feast in the capital.
Officials from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Military Governor's Office were the first to enter. Later, King Yan Zhu Di, King Ning Zhu Quan and other vassal kings entered the training ground amidst the cheers of the people. The voices of King Yan and King Ning rang together.
Xu Huizu had some longing and envy. He had been staying in the capital, and it was probably impossible for him to become famous on the battlefield.
When Zhu Yunwen's Luanjia entered the small training ground, under the escort of Gu Sanshen and Xue Xia of the Security Bureau, in the shocked eyes of Zhu Di, Zhu Quan, officials and people, and in the stunned expressions of the military examiners, Zhu Yunwen came slowly.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty."
"The Emperor is here to attend the martial arts competition!"
"Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"
The originally noisy and chaotic voices were finally unified by the words "Long Live Long Live". The onlookers shouted enthusiastically, one after another, one wave after another, and the mighty momentum was shocking. Zhu Quan secretly shook his head. Zhu Yunwen's prestige among the people was so high that even King Yan, who was fighting abroad and had outstanding achievements, could not match him.
With this kind of public support, no one can do it!
The cry of Long Live Mountain boiled the cold winter. No one felt cold anymore, only the blood was flowing all over their body. Even the five-year-old children would clap their hands excitedly.
Zhu Yunwen arrived at the high platform, nodded slightly to Zhu Di, Zhu Quan and other vassal kings, Tie Xuan, Xu Huizu and other officials, then turned to face the people, raised his hand, and the originally earth-shattering sound disappeared in a breath. trace.
Such uniformity and terrifying order made Zhu Di feel his scalp numb.
Are these still disorderly people?
Even a soldier who has fought a hundred battles may not be able to do this!
Zhu Yunwen did it, easily!
"I am here to accompany you to watch The Good Man of Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yunwen shouted loudly, which was heard far away in the silent teaching field.
"Good man!"
These three words are Zhu Yunwen's most direct definition of martial arts!
Thinking back to the Song Dynasty, Han Qi's definition of a good man was the roll call outside the Donghua Gate. In other words, a good man in the Song Dynasty was a civil servant, not a military man!
But when he arrived at Zhu Yunwen's place, he relied on his own identity and influence to completely change the secular and popular view of warriors as vulgar and not good men with one sentence or three words!
As for whether the officials will change their views, Zhu Yunwen doesn't care. As long as he insists on attending the martial arts competition and allowing the martial arts candidates to enjoy the same treatment as civilian officials, the people will see that both civilian officials and military attachés have a future. In terms of status, no one must have glorified anyone.
Among the martial arts candidates, Yuan Yue was excited when he saw Zhu Yunwen.
Zhang Fu was right, Zhu Yunwen was a different kind of emperor. He valued sergeants, he was humane, and he also won the hearts of the people. He personally came to the training ground to explain that the results of the martial arts test will be brighter.
As long as he comes out on top, he will surely be able to ascend to a higher stage and become a competent general!
Ji Gang stood in the crowd, his eyes shining with desire. When he raised his hands, thousands of people were silent. This is the power of power, how amazing and how desirable!
Xue Lu puffed up his chest and looked resolutely.
He is already forty-two years old. He has been among King Yan's guards for many years and is still an inconspicuous character. But I, Xue Lu, am not willing to give in. I want to make achievements, fight on the battlefield, and leave a name in history!
Since the martial arts test is your opportunity, you can't let it slip away from your hands!
Lin Zhaoxue raised her hand and pressed her neck, feeling itchy. Then she looked at Zhu Yunwen with a complicated look. She clenched her fists and whispered: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Zhu Yunwen sat down and nodded slightly to Tie Xuan.
Tie Xuan stood up, took the gavel from Liu Jun's hand, and beat the gong. After the scene calmed down, he shouted loudly: "In accordance with the emperor's decree, the imperial court is showing favor to all over the world. It is the first military examination to select good generals. On the first day of the test, Lift the stone and draw the stiff bow. On the second day, you will be tested on sword dancing, on the third day, you will be tested on foot shooting and horse shooting, and on the fourth day, you will be in charge of policy discussions. There are now a total of 369 martial arts examiners, and the best 60 will be selected and awarded the Chinese style. Official position..."
Although elimination is a bit cruel, the law of the jungle is the rule of history, and Zhu Yunwen does not want to violate this rule.
