Chapter 40
It is the first month of the year and the weather is cold. It is suitable for sleeping until dark on such nights. However, Yan Chengjin is a person who is used to morning exercises, so how can he sleep?
In addition to running around in the garden in the mansion, he also shoots arrows.
Someone from Yan's mansion came to visit early this morning. The house manager saw that it was Wang Yue, the three-sided general, hurriedly opened the door for him.
When he passed through the courtyard, Wang Yue found a scholar shooting an arrow in the corner of the courtyard. The house manager smiled and said, "That's my young master."
Wang Yue knew that Yan Kesong had only one son, so he must be him.
Seeing him practicing archery, he couldn't help but feel itchy. He whispered: "If you shoot archery, you should stretch your chest open enough, face the bull's eye with your left shoulder, your feet are shoulder-width, and your body's strength will not be deviated. If you shoot like this, you will not hit it."
The scholar's hand was released, and the arrow drove away from the string and hit the bull's eye with an arrow.
Instantly slap in the face.
Yan Chengjin then looked at the person beside him.
Wang Yue's old face was a little overwhelmed: "I am good at shooting and swords." As he said that, he picked up the three stone bow that Yan Chengjin had not yet pulled and hit the bull's eye with one arrow.
This face felt a little more relaxed.
Yan Kesong said: "Cheng Jin, don't be rude. This is the assistant general of the Five Army Governor's Office, Lord Wang!"
Wang Yue?
Wang Yue was a little thin, about the same height as his father. He had some scholarly spirit and was seriously incompatible with Yan Chengjin's tall and mighty image as a general in his mind.
"Which Wang Yue are you?"
"Who else can it be!" Wang Yue stroked his beard and felt a little proud: "I am the former three-sided general system, Wang Yue!"
Yan Chengjin took a step back. Logically speaking, Wang Yue's punishment has been reduced. He is not afraid of being implicated when he comes into contact with him, but he will eventually ruin his reputation, right?
Wang Yue pulled out a sword from his waist, feeling a little sad: "I am here to deliver the sword today. This green steel sword has been with me for many years. When the Tatars saw it, they retreated. Now in the capital, I am afraid I can't use it anymore, so I give it to my brother!"
This is the green steel sword that Wang Yue asked his son Wang Chun to give to Wang Yangming in his previous life?
Blowing hair and cutting iron like mud.
Yan Kesong thought that this was precious. In the military tent, Wang Yue never let it go far away. "Brother Shichang regards him as a wife and a concubine, how can he give him away? What kind of talent does Yu Ge have? He deserves to use this sword. Brother Shichang should take it back."
Sure enough, dogs still can't change their shit.
The Tatars have always liked to invade the Hetao area, so Hetao is the top priority among the nine borders, and the court will send the most capable generals to guard it.
My father is the guardian of Hetao, and he will have a bright future this time.
Wang Yue knew that his father was going to be valued, so he came to send his heart out.
"So this sword is so expensive, and that father can't accept it even more. Lord Wang should take it back." Yan Chengjin simply pushed it back into the sheath.
Wang Yue said angrily: "Who are you, your father and son, who are you? I just like giving gifts, so why are you greedy for rewards?"
"Where did Lord Wang think of it? Lord Wang has a high position and a powerful position. How could my father and his students not know?" Yan Chengjin said.
Wang Yue stopped doing it and said angrily: "From the beginning of entering the door, I called your father a virtuous brother, your father called me Brother Shichang, but you called me Lord Wang one by one. Are you of such a messy seniority?"
"???" Yan Chengjin was confused.
After returning to Beijing, Wang Yue discovered that Yan Kesong's reputation in the capital was far more scary than he heard.
The most important thing is that Yan Kesong has a pure and innocent family background and has never had any dirty acts in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years. His Majesty likes such people, so he became interested in winning over them.
Wang Yue wanted the Tatars to invade so that he could return to the border.
But it is impossible.
It's impossible within five years.
It is better to send Yan Kesong to stay with me than to stay with me. This is to show Emperor Hongzhi that he is dedicated to the country and devote all his determination, even if it is a sword that treats him as a wife and concubine!
Wang Yue said: "My brother is a civil servant. He became the deputy general of Ningxia with just one battle and had no fate with his border brothers. When he went there again, he would be difficult to convince the public without his foolish brother suppressing him in the camp. With this green steel sword, seeing the sword is like seeing people, and it would be much more convenient for me to act in the army."
The frontier was full of soldiers brought by Wang Yue. Yan Kesong wanted to command them like his right-hand man, which might be a bit difficult.
Yan Kesong also knew the difficulties, so he did not postpone it: "Brother, I dare not refuse, so I will thank Brother Shichang."
After the New Year, although the snow on the ground has not yet melted, there are some signs of spring in March.
Yan Kesong is about to return to Ningxia to guard the border. Before leaving, he said ashamed to Yan Chengjin: "Last autumn examination, my father was obsessed with writing books and never gave you any tutoring. Now that the spring examination is coming, my father is going to guard the border again. I think about it and feel sorry for you!"
The title of the Golden List is the three major happy events in life.
He should have supervised from the side, but how many parents in the world can really do it?
With military affairs in mind, Yan Kesong had to leave.
However, Yan Chengjin had already asked Yan Kesong to brush up the test questions for the spring exam before the autumn exam, but his father himself didn't know.
What else could Yan Chengjin say? He could only watch his father and the house manager step on the war horse and return to Ningxia Prefecture to guard the border.
The 12th year of Hongzhi was the most prosperous year of the Hongzhi Dynasty and it was also the year that was truly known as the Hongzhi Revival.
The people in the capital seem to have endless money to spend. After the New Year Festival, the desire to purchase remains undiminished. Teahouses and restaurants are often full of customers, and Wang Busui has sent more and more money.
Of course, there is a large part of the reason, because Cheng Minzheng did not take any money, and Yan Chengjin only gave Wang Busui two percent, and 80 percent of them were his own.
Culture has risen strongly and the book market is booming. I heard that Jiangnan has also produced several classic works, but the reputation of Huzhai is still much worse than that of Huzhai.
A hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred boats are competing for the current.
Is this the prosperity of the literary world and what is the manifestation of cultural prosperity?
No one dares to make a decision easily.
In the Forbidden City,
After discussing state affairs this day, Emperor Hongzhi cared about the people in the capital, "I haven't left the palace for a long time. Have you ever had new things in the near future? Let me tell you?"
Liu Jian was straightforward and couldn't hide his words, so he said, "There is really something that can be reported to the emperor. There is another person in the capital who looks like a welcoming pine tree. This person has a very high reputation and is regarded as a master by the New School. The writings of this person seem to be spiritual, and can write the fox and ghost story in a true way. He is called the Pen Immortal by the New School."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and immediately became interested: "Oh, who is this person?"
Li Dongyang said uncertainly: "That man's signature is Liu Nuan Taoist, but between the lines, I always feel that it is quite the style of Cheng Minzheng, the Minister of Rites."
Emperor Hongzhi said confidently: "It is definitely impossible for him. He is arrogant and has created a school of poetry and prose, so how could he turn against each other?"
Li Dongyang and the other two nodded, thinking that it made sense. Cheng Minzheng was unique in Beijing and had a high spirit, so no one knew.
But who wouldn't Cheng Minzheng be?
……………………
Chengfu,
Cheng Minzheng got up early in the morning and kept pinching walnuts. He had just become famous before, but now he is called the Pen Xian, how can he bear it?
"These people are so boring, hum!"
Not knowing what he said, Cheng Zhitang thought his father was jealous of Taoist Nuan's reputation. He looked at the broken walnuts and said worriedly: "Dad today, but his hands are uncomfortable?"
Cheng Minzheng seemed to have not heard it, and he slapped the table, and I couldn't help it.
I wish I could go to Dongshi at this moment and shout, Taoist Liu Nuan is me!
But Yan Chengjin's previous warning to him quietly came to his heart.
