The imperial court didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Mu's article Chen, and now they are busy discussing Wang Chonggu's affairs, and they are trading with Mongolia, so they don't care so much about Chen Mu's need to build a martial arts hall.

In the letter sent to General Zhenshuo, there was a reproach from the elder Gao Ge: Chen Shuai is the prime minister of Xuanfu, and the military affairs of training and selecting generals do not need to be said to the cabinet.

Chen Mu pondered, that's what he said, but that's not how things are done!

If Chen Ye doesn't tell you, what if you scold me again?

In any case, since Gao Ge Lao had already agreed, there was no need to say more, Chen Mu immediately sent a letter to Ma Fang, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou, expressing his intentions, and asking them to help him compile a military book when he was united.

As soon as the letter was written, the cabinet came again, this time it was a letter from Zhang Ge Lao: "Gao Ge Lao has allowed to talk about martial arts, and the servants of this matter also think so, and there are still small sections that still need to be discussed again, Chen Shuai is assured to choose a place to repair the hall, and when the martial arts hall is completed, the servant is willing to ask Xu Ge Lao to go out of the mountain on behalf of Chen Shuai, serve as the mountain chief, and cheer for Chen Shuai!" ”

When the letter was delivered, Chen Mu was inspecting the flag army drill at the Longmen guard in the eastern section of the Wanquan defense line, and reading Zhang Juzheng's letter made him feel emotionally in his heart - Zhang Juzheng's heart is really fine.

Now the three sub-auxiliaries, Zhang Juzheng is headed by Gao Gong, and Yin Shiyi is newly entered the cabinet, and he has no right to speak.

In Chen Mu's opinion, both of them have extremely high talents, nothing more than a high arch with a sharp edge, Zhang Juzheng's sword is hidden, and the same thing is that both of them are very proud.

The arrogance of the high arch is that he looks down on others, and tells you plainly, I look down on you!

Zhang Juzheng is different, he not only exalts you clearly, but also lets you know that he is higher.

Chen Mu was very satisfied with the results of the Longmen guard's drill, and after asking, he knew that there was a young general who was very smart and provided a lot of help to the stupid Qianhu training in the guard, so he summoned this person to his side during a break and dinner, and asked a few words about the affairs in the drill manual, and answered them one by one.

"What's your name and what is your current position?"

This is really a young general, and there is nothing wrong with being a general, but he is younger than Chen Mu, and he looks a little longer than Zhao Shizhen.

Such a young man, Chen Mu was overjoyed when he saw it.

"Humble Ni Shangzhong, the Dragon Gate Guard commands the affairs!"

Commanding the affairs, it is the fourth grade.

However, Chen Mu saw that Ni Shangzhong's youthful energy was not like a veteran rolling out of the battlefield, and asked, "Do you have military merits?" ”

"Back to the general, in the winter of the first year of the humble position, he attacked his father's position as the commander of the affairs, although he had no military exploits, but in the first year of the northern barbarians, he went south, shot one person and captured one person."

No wonder!

Chen Mu blew a sigh, how high is the starting point, higher than Lao Bai, the attacking officer is the commander of the affairs, but obviously he has never led troops, otherwise the battle exploits will not be so small.

"No merit in killing someone?" Chen Mu asked, "How did you kill it, tell me about it." ”

"Humble and bold, since the ancestors have been the commander of the affairs of the ministry has not made meritorious service, it is not easy to meet the Northern Barbarians into the Kou, meritorious service is eager to go out of the camp alone to investigate the enemy." Ni Shangzhong blushed a little when he talked about this, and said: "I didn't check the enemy's situation, but I ran into five captive horsemen who robbed the people's property, shot one person, cut one person, and the remaining three escaped." ”

Saying that, Ni Shangzhong bowed his head very embarrassed and said: "I didn't give a reward when I came back, I went out of the camp against the order, and I was beaten with a military stick." ”

"Hahaha!"

"It's not unjust to be beaten." Chen Mu smiled happily, shook his hands into a fist and tapped lightly on the table: "The chief general gave an order, you think he is not wise enough, you can put it forward to refute and give advice, or you can say that he is wrong, but a military order is a military order, and a military order cannot be violated, even if you think it is wrong, you have to do it according to the military order." ”

Ni Shangzhong nodded to Chen Mu and said loudly: "General Hui, I know that my humble position is wrong!" ”

"It's not interesting to command things." There was no one else in the hall, Chen Mu did not shy away from speaking, and his appreciation could not be refused, and said: "You have no military merits now, go to Xuanfu with Chen, it is the time to employ people over there, go over and see what you can do." ”

"Anyway, if you don't go now, you have to go over after a while, the imperial court is going to open a martial arts hall in Xuanfu, you guards will have to study sooner or later, and when you learn it, Chen will find you a better place to go than now, how about it?"

Needless to say? It's better to be a guard by the side of the general soldier than to be a commander at the gatekeeper who doesn't!

Since the Xuande period, his ancestor Ni Kai was ordered to be transferred from his hometown Huai'an Mansion in Jiangsu Province to this Longmen guard the border, and one hundred and forty years have passed, and the official position of his Ni family has not moved up at all.

Chen Mu, the general of Zhenshuo, visited Longmen Guard, in Ni Shangzhong's opinion, it was his Ni family's fortune Daofeng turn, and there would be great cultivation in the future!

Without saying a word, he cleaned up properly, and followed Chen Mu to continue to patrol westward on the same day.

Chen Mu's side sent a transfer order to the Ministry of War, telling him that this person in the Ministry of War had wisdom and strategy, and he was transferred to Xuanfu for another use, and for the time being, he still led the post of commander of Longmen.

The letter sent to Liangguang Yu Dayou, asking him to compile the letter of the practice of the car camp is still on the way, Ma Fang of Datong and Qi Jiguang of Jizhen have already replied to the letter, and both of them agreed, but the difference is that Ma Fang passed the book over, and Qi Jiguang directly invited Wu Dui to come.

Wu Dui came to find Chen Mu because of something, a mysterious and mysterious matter.

Jizhou soldiers prepared a wine pot with bacon, and when the general yamen pulled Chen Mu to the inner hall, he walked halfway to avoid the ears and eyes of others and whispered to Chen Mu and said happily: "General Chen, do you want to save Xu Wenchang?" ”

"I heard it from Zhu Duanfu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." Wu Dui looked very excited, clenched his fists in his big sleeves and said: "I have also asked Qi Shuai to help me with this method, but it was unsuccessful, but if the general has a heart, he will definitely be able to save Wen Chang from prison!" ”

Chen Mu made a sudden visit to Wu Dui, and opened his mouth to mention that the matter of rescuing Xu Wei made him scratch his head, and secretly said in his heart that Zhu Dashou was not secret, how could he let Wu Dui know, fortunately, Wu Dui also tried to save Xu Wei, what if people who don't like Xu Wei know it?

With a prevaricating smile on his face, he asked, "Wu Bingbei Zeng Qing Qi Shuai helped, why didn't it work?" ”

Wu Dui was twenty years older than Chen Mu, and he could see what Chen Mu was thinking at a glance, so he changed his accent and said in Shaoxing dialect that Chen Mu couldn't understand: "What does General Chen think, Wu is also from Shaoxing!" ”

"Wu Bingbei is also from Shaoxing?"

Chen Mu was shocked, "Then, then you can't hear your accent at all, I thought you were a Beijing official!" ”

"Since I received the Jinshi, I have been in Beijing, and now it has been more than ten years, and the local voice is gone." Wu Dui raised his head and laughed, he was a little young and frivolous, raised his hand to open the wine jar, served Chen Mu with a wine bowl, and said: "While drinking, I think that Wu and Xu Wenchang were in Shaoxing back then, it was a day worth high-fiveing and celebrating, the world is unpredictable!" ”
