Chapter 338: Meet Kuang Ye again
In the garden in the courtyard of the Chang family.
Small bridges and flowing water, green grass, charming flowers, purple and red, pavilions, carved beams and paintings, are all from the hands of famous craftsmen. It's just a courtyard, and it's all so luxurious, if you can see that the Chang family is indeed wealthy.
In the middle of the garden, the pavilion stands, and on the stone table below it, all kinds of fruits and snacks have already been arranged, and the young and the old sit here to drink tea and chat.
"Loyal and courageous, we haven't seen each other for nearly two years." On the other side of the table, an old man in an ordinary gown was smiling, and he was in good spirits when he spoke, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Master Kuang's demeanor is still the same, congratulations." Yang Chendong, who was dressed in green clothes, also had a smile on his face, and raised the teacup in his hand as he spoke.
"Haha, the loyal and courageous man laughed, and I have to thank you for everything. If it weren't for you turning the tide on the battlefield, I'm afraid that the old man's old bones would have been buried in the ground a long time ago, thank you. The old man Kuang Ye also raised the wine in his arms and sighed with a face.
In the battle of Tumubao, because of the indiscriminate command of the eunuch Wang Zhen, the army was in turmoil and was defeated by the Wara army. The courtiers were dead to death, fleeing, and in chaos. At this time, Yang Chendong, who was inconspicuous in the team, stood up and successively took action to protect nine important ministers of the imperial court, and later saved the besieged Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen.
Among the nine important ministers of the court, there is Kuang Ye. In the past, he was the secretary of the military department of the Ming Dynasty, and now he has become the secretary of the military department of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and I heard that he was very trusted by Emperor Yingzong. This time, he was ordered by the emperor to go down to check the situation of the central guard posts of the various armies, and unfortunately he learned that Yang Chendong had returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so he rushed here to meet in the morning.
said that it was a coincidence, but in fact, everything was inquired about by Yang Chendong a long time ago, Kuang Ye is a good old man, although he is older, he still has the ability, and it is within his plan to meet here and get some things done.
At this moment, the two of them have seen each other as they wished, and they have the grace of saving their lives as a link, so it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy.
It's just that all these harmonious scenes were disrupted by the shouts and killings outside the hospital.
Although Kuang Ye is older, his eyes are not dazzling or deaf, and he can naturally hear the shouts outside. At the moment, he frowned and glanced up at Yang Chendong.
Yang Chendong, who had been paying attention to Kuang Ye's actions for a long time, smiled and said: "Hehe, yesterday I was targeted for some reason, and some people came to find the bad luck of their father-in-law, and they were caught by my family, presumably they mobilized the army this time." ”
"Nonsense, who gave them power for such a big thing as the mobilization of the army. Guan Ying, go and take a look. Kuang Ye said with a straight face. This time he came to see Yang Chendong, it was not just as simple as reminiscing, he came on a mission. But the begger has not had a chance to speak, first of all, his own person dropped the chain, and if he made a bad one, it would directly affect his mission, how not to make people angry?
Guan Ying, who is seven feet tall, has a powerful body, and his muscles seem to burst out with impact at any time, which makes people know at a glance that he is a practitioner.
Of course, the reason why Kuang Ye arranged for him to go out was not only because this was the person he brought and his confidant, but more importantly, this person was also an official of the Ministry of War.
The Wu Xuan Qing Officials Division is the official signature, which is an institution under the Ministry of War in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In charge of examining the grades, selections, promotions, and rewards of military attachés, examining the dangers and important points in various places, and setting up camps and floods respectively; Manage the inheritance and gift of Tusi military attachés living in ethnic minorities.
In many cases, the officials of the Ming Dynasty may not be able to see the size from the rank, and the most important thing is how much power he has. Just like the original cabinet scholar is equivalent to the emperor's private secretary, such as Xie Jin when he became the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, it is the fifth grade.
Don't underestimate this positive five products, you can also speak in front of the emperor, I don't know how much stronger than the general four products and three products. It seems that this Guan Ying is only the identity of Zheng Wupin, but because he controls the promotion of the military attache rank and the matter of meritorious rewards, it is extremely powerful, even if many commanders of the guard and the capital guard (Zheng Sanpin) have to bow their heads and smile when they see him.
Even if the capital guards have been mobilized, it is really appropriate to send Guan Ying to take a look.
Yang Chendong naturally knew this, and even smiled a little, and then said politely: "It's so troublesome for the customs officer." ”
"Grandpa Guo is polite." Guan Ying's face did not change, and after saying this sentence with a serious face, he bowed to Kuang Ye and then retreated.
As soon as Guan Ying left, Kuang Ye's laughter came out again, "Don't mind if you are loyal and courageous, this person is such a character, he is not smiling, but he is still very serious and very capable." ”
"Well, being able to be taught by Master Kuang's side is naturally a talent." Yang Chendong also smiled and slapped a sycophant. Next, he raised his teacup. With Guan Ying to deal with outside matters, he naturally won't be worried.
Kuang Ye also raised the teacup with a smile, and then put it down shallowly after taking a sip of tea, and then said: "Loyal and courageous, a while ago, Japan suddenly invaded the border at sea and attacked Tianjin Wei, you must have heard about it. ”
"Well, this matter once caused a quarrel in the Northern Ming Dynasty, how could you not know." Yang Chendong seemed to nod very casually, but in fact, only his heart knew that Kuang Ye finally began to get to the point.
"Yes. I heard that 20,000 soldiers were captured, and there were more than 20,000 people, how could King Yu not be annoyed about such a big thing. Kuang Ye said as if sighing, and then said: "I heard that even now, the samurai of Japan often appear in Tianjin Wei to Jingshi, and the loyal and courageous prince is passing by there on this trip, have you ever met it?" ”
Regarding Kuang Ye's call to Emperor Daizong as the king of servants, Yang Chendong did not express any dissatisfaction. Originally, Zhu Qiyu was the identity of King Yu, and if it weren't for the civil engineering changes, he would not have become the emperor. It is not surprising that Kuang Ye, who followed Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, would not admit this. Just asking about those Japanese samurai and asking yourself if you have seen them, it makes some sense. "No, the country's public luck didn't come across it."
"Hehe, yes, the luck of the loyal and courageous prince has always been excellent, saving Yingzong, retreating from Wara, and building a bank are really smooth... Right? When the last word was spoken, Kuang Ye's eyes suddenly became much sharper when he looked at Yang Chendong.
Feeling the coldness of that gaze, he even had the intention of seeing through people's hearts, but Yang Chendong really didn't even raise his eyelids and smiled, "Well, God is good to me." ”
An understatement, a smile of indifference and confidence flashed on Yang Chendong's face, all of which was seen in Kuang Ye's eyes, which actually made him feel unreal.
Kuang Ye's age is not young, second only to Hu Hu in the court, and he is also in his sixties, and he has not known how much he has dealt with Yang Rong, one of the three Yangs, but even at that time, he only had a trace of respect, but he never felt powerless in the face of Yang Chendong.
The young man in front of him was only in his early twenties, but he seemed to be more difficult to deal with than his old son Yang Rong, as if no matter how he tried to test and stimulate the other party, people were all impregnable, needles could not be inserted, and water could not be splashed.
Under the gazebo, it suddenly became quiet, and at this moment only a breeze flashed in front of them, of course, in their hearts, they were also measuring each other's words, there was a huge gasp in their chests, and their minds were running fast.
"Haha, hahaha, the luck of the loyal and courageous public is indeed very good, and he is more talented, what you did in front of the Yang Family Academy" Yangjiazhuang Xue, the old man read it very seriously, it was really magnificent, deafening. But I don't know how to interpret the sentence of the number of romantic characters, and look at the present day? ”
Although it is said that because of Yang Chendong's relationship, the Ming Dynasty was divided into the south, and many officials and soldiers also belonged to the two imperial courts, but one thing remained the same, that is, the poems that readers liked were still the same.
I think that at the beginning, when the Yangjiazhuang snow was transmitted to Nanjing, Kyoto, the southern court, it caused an uproar. When many people sigh at the atmosphere of this word, and are amazed by the sentences in it, they will inevitably think about what kind of environment and inner thoughts Yang Chendong, the author of this poem, made such a singable poem.
There are even some people who have begun to study the specific meaning of this word, especially the number of romantic characters in the sentence, and there are many explanations for the present day.
For example, the pro-British sect hostile to Daizong explained that this was Yang Chendong filming Zhu Qiyu's sycophants, saying that Zhu Qiyu's ascension was legitimate, legitimacy and reasonableness, and that he was today's romantic figure, but Zhu Qizhen was not.
There are also some envious, jealous, and hateful people who explain that this sentence means that Yang Chendong looks down on the world's scholars, which is simply a manifestation of self-esteem and arrogance.
There are also some people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and say that this means that someone wants to replace him, and the implication is that Yang Chendong is said to be a thief like Cao Cao.
Among these kinds of remarks, Kuang Ye is more inclined to the latter, but he didn't say this to anyone.
As the secretary of the military department, he was frightened as soon as he saw Leng Feng's calm performance on the battlefield. With such an excellent soldier, I am afraid that even if you pick out one at random, you can be qualified for the existence of a commander, even a centurion, or even a higher-level general. But they are indeed willing to work under Yang Chendong, what does this mean?
