high official

Chapter 256

The gatekeepers rushed in to report, and after returning soon, they let them in.Wang Xian became the first person in history to be carried into the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Erhei carried him to Shang Shuya's externally signed bond room, and trouble came again... He really didn't know how to put his lord's injured buttocks.

"The doctor told me that my lord has to stay in bed for a few days," Er Hei whispered to discuss with Jin Shangshu's long follower: "Why don't you move a bed?"

"Huh?" The long follower had never heard of such a request, and stared, "Do you still want to spread a mat?!"

"Thank you very much. But the doctor said you can't catch a cold." Erhei laughed.

"Stop talking nonsense." Wang Xian reprimanded Erhei lightly, and said to the chief attendant, "I'll just lie on the ground."

"What does that look like?" A picture of Master Shangshu having to stare at other people's buttocks and talk appeared in Chang Sui's mind. It was so unbecoming: "Can't you kneel?"

"The buttocks have been smashed." Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "I lost consciousness in my lower body."

"Then you can't stand anymore?" Chang Sui said depressedly.

"You can't sit down either." Erhei added in a low voice.

"You are so beautiful!" Chang Suibai glanced at the two of them and said, "Why are you here after being so injured?"

"That's what you said," Er Hei was furious, and said in a muffled voice, "It was called by your boss, okay, the doctor said, my lord needs to rest!"

"Shut up." Chang Sui glared at him angrily, arranged three official hat chairs in a row, and let Wang Xian lie on them.I said in my heart, "What's the matter, it's all", so they let them wait and went in to report by themselves.

It took a long time for Jin Shangshu to come out after dealing with the affairs at hand.He is a gentleman of Confucianism, and he pays attention to etiquette in words and deeds. Seeing Wang Xian lying on the chair, he felt extremely awkward.He coughed twice, and said no evil, "I didn't know you were injured."

"The minister is above, but I'm sorry I can't fully salute." Wang Xian looked at Jin Shangshu's belt and said.

"I heard that you ate forty army sticks?" Jin Shangshu asked.

"It was supposed to hit eighty, but His Royal Highness Taisun is kind enough to memorize half of it."

"Why do you eat army sticks?"

"A military officer went out at night in violation of discipline and fought in a restaurant. According to the military law, he will be punished with a cane." Wang Xian replied: "I am a military adviser, and I am not strict in controlling my subordinates. I am ashamed of my highness's trust. Naturally, I will receive the punishment together."

"You really know how to put gold on your face." Jin Shangshu snorted coldly and said, "Why is it different from what I heard?"

"What did the Lord Ministry hear?"

"I heard that you and the brothers from the Xue family brought people to the brothel to eat flowers and wine, but because of jealousy, they got into a big fight." Jin Shangshu said sarcastically.But no matter how cold it is, it can't compare to half of Zhou Jietai's, so it has no killing power against Wang Xian.

"Master Butang is wronged for saying that. I neither ate flower wine nor was I jealous." Wang Xian flatly denied it: "If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate and see if I have lied."

"I'm busy with business, so I don't have time to talk to you." Jin Shangshu said with a dark face, "Do you remember what I told you? As long as you dare to mess around, I will drive you out of the capital!"

"But..." Wang Xian was about to explain with a wry smile, but the long follower came in and whispered something in Jin Shangshu's ear.

After Jin Shangshu heard this, he frowned tightly, got up and said to the chief follower, "Go in and talk."

As he spoke, he ignored Wang Xian, and went into the inner lottery room, waiting for the chief to follow him in, and asked straight away: "What you said is true?"

"Yes." Chang Sui nodded, and said with a look of disbelief: "The grandson's younger brother said this himself, there should be no falsehood."

"Impossible..." Jin Shangshu picked up the ice towel on the table, wiped his sweat and said, "Master Daoyan still refuses to accept me as a disciple, how can this kid be so good..." In the middle of the sentence, he convinced himself Said: "But this can explain why the grandson wants this kid to be a military adviser."

Chang Sui nodded, deeply convinced.

"It's hard to handle now..." Jin Shangshu wiped his sweat again with some embarrassment: "It's really flooding the Dragon King Temple..."

Speaking of which, Jin Shangshu and Yao Guangxiao have a very close relationship.He is a talent with both civil and military skills, which is rare among Ming officials. He was born in a military household, but he was not the eldest son, so it was not his turn to take up a military position. After the death of Tongzhou, he had no choice but to join the army and inherited the military position in Beiping.Because he was a rare scholar in the army, he quickly gained some fame, and was discovered by Yao Guangxiao who was trying to persuade King Yan to rebel.

What happened after that was really humiliating... Yao Guangxiao knew that he could use the "Book of Changes" for divination, and had met Yuan Gong before, so he lied in front of Zhu Di that he was a student of Yuan Tianshi, who was well-known in divination.Later, when Zhu Di was about to raise troops, he really summoned him for a fortune-telling, and he got the hexagram of "Cast Yin Chengxuan".According to Yao Guangxiao's instructions, Jin Zhong said, "The hexagram is so precious." 'Since then, Yao Guangxiao has often led him in and out of Yan's mansion, using the divination hexagrams to persuade the King of Yan to do great things.It gave Zhu Di great confidence, and as a result, he also achieved the wealth of his life.

Although Dao Yan only used him as a tool to seduce Zhu Di at the beginning, he was still very grateful to this monk for allowing him to be appreciated by King Yan and have the opportunity to make a career.It was precisely because of his dealings with Dao Yan back then that he knew how terrifying this old monk was.

The combination of these two emotions made him have to re-evaluate the price of selling Wang Xian to the King of Han. Originally, there was only a grandson with no hair on the other side of the balance. It was easy to distinguish which was more important, but now he added Yao Guangxiao leaned over again.After pacing in the inner room for a while, Jin Shangshu made up his mind and came out, sat down on the seat and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Master Butang said that he warned me before that if I dare to mess around, he will kick me out of the capital." Wang Xian said with a wry smile.

"Uh," Jin Shangshu stroked his chin and said, "But you are not considered incurable. Since you hit yourself with forty army sticks, you have been punished." After a pause, he said, "So I won't punish you this time. , but there will never be a next time!"

Now Wang Xian didn't know that what the attendant brought to Jin Shangshu just now was the news that he was Yao Guangxiao's student.It seems that this level of identity is much better than the follower of Laoshi's son and grandson... I just don't know how long I can be fooled.

In fact, Wang Xian carried Zhu Gaochi's personal letter with him, but he had to take it out when he had to. Now seeing that the other party let him go, he naturally had no words to thank him, and he promised that he would not be an example.

"The young army has just been created, and in a few months, it will participate in the Fangshan martial arts performance. The time is tight and the task is heavy. If you have any difficulties, please mention them." Since Jin Shangshu regards him as Yao Guangxiao's person, he naturally wants to say a few words about himself If so, improve the relationship.But this is just a polite remark, because people are embarrassed to make any demands when they have just been forgiven by the other party, which is human nature.

"Thank you for your concern. Speaking of it, I really have a problem and ask for help from the department." Unexpectedly, Wang Xian climbed along the pole with a cheeky face.

"Also," Jin Shangshu coughed dryly, and decided to ask clearly: "What's the relationship between you and Young Master Yao?"

"The old monk said he wanted to accept me as an apprentice, and I also want to worship him as a teacher." Wang Xian replied cautiously. Speaking of which, these two sentences are not lies.

"Then did you become a teacher?" Jin Shangshu asked.

"Thank you," Wang Xian couldn't be vague now, he could only lie: "But he didn't ask me to shave my head..."

"I see." Jin Shangshu nodded, his eyelids drooped for a moment, and finally he let go: "What problem do you have?"

"Just now the ministry also said that the training of young troops is time-consuming and the task is heavy." Wang Xian looked carefully at his face and said, "The biggest problem is the extreme shortage of officers. I don't know if the ministry can solve it. "

"The words of the military officers are under the control of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies." Jin Shangshu flatly refused: "The Ministry of War is not in charge of this."

"My teacher said that the department hall has been a soldier for many years, so there must be a way." Wang Xian said softly.Xin said that since he had already made a fool of the old monk, he didn't care about cheating him again.

"The master really said that?" Jin Shangshu frowned and said, "The master asked you to come to me?"

"No, the teacher just said it casually," Wang Xian shook his head and said, "It doesn't mean to trouble the hall."

"Hehe..." Jin Shangshu immediately wiped his sweat and said: "What you said, Master Daoyan is not an outsider. Since he said so, how can I be afraid of trouble." He sighed and said: "If there is a way, I will definitely help you. But think about it, the young army is not a regular army, how can you transfer officers who are serving?"

"It doesn't have to be active duty, as long as you can lead troops, you can be idle." Wang Xian is really hungry.

"The idle ones are under the control of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion." Jin Shangshu glanced at him and said, "Since you are a member of His Highness Taisun, you naturally know what the Five Armies Commander's Mansion's attitude is."

"Could it be that master lied to me?" Wang Xian asked disappointedly.

"Ahem..." Jin Shangshu finally couldn't stand him and said, "Okay! Come to think of it, it really belongs to the Ministry of War."

Wang Xian eagerly looked at Jin Shangshu, waiting for his next words.

"The emperor opened Enke the year before last and ordered the Ministry of War to hold a military exercise." Jin Shangshu said, "Do you know what a military exercise is?"

"Do you mean Wu Jinshi?" Wang Xian asked with bright eyes.

"You can't talk nonsense, otherwise those guys with Jinshi background will be unhappy." Although Jin Shangshu is a famous minister of Neo-Confucianism, but because he was born in the army, he didn't pass the imperial examination. Naturally, I don't have a good impression of them.

"If you're not called Wu Jinshi, what's your name?"

"It's called a martial arts man." Jin Zhong said slowly: "The year before last, I was ordered to preside over the martial arts of the Ministry of War. From more than 3000 candidates, I selected more than 300 martial arts. The emperor originally said that he would reuse them. There is no more text..."

"Why did the emperor change his mind?" Wang Xian asked in disbelief, didn't it mean that once the emperor opened his mouth, he would become a constitution?

"Actually, Your Majesty..." Jin Shangshu looked at Wang Xian, and thought to himself, is it appropriate to tell you this?But seeing that the other party is Yao Guangxiao's apprentice, he continued, "There are times when you change your mind."
