Yongyefang, Tangqiao Hutong, Li's House
Under the guidance of the concierge, Jia Heng stepped into the residence of Li Zan, a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall and Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
This mansion is quite old, and the corridors on both sides can see some green paint falling off, and the rockery rocks can also see the traces left by moss.
"Zi Yu." After passing through the Yimen Gate, Li Zan was seen wearing a stone blue round-neck gown, smiling, waiting for him under the eaves of the flower hall. In addition, there were several officials from the Ministry of War standing on the left and right sides.
There are Shi Jie, the left servant of the Ministry of War, Zhong Hang Min, the newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Shi Shu, the official secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zou Jing, the former right servant of the Ministry of War.
And Zou Jing, with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, will go to Peiping with Li Zan, as the deputy envoy of the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department, assisting in military affairs and military affairs.
"Ge Lao." Jia Heng changed his face, called out from a distance, stepped forward, and bowed his hands.
Li Zan twirled his beard with his hands, and smiled gently on his thin, long bearded face, and said, "Just now I saw Ziyu's invitation card, and this old man was still puzzled. Ziyu hasn't left his relatives for a few days, so how can I think of this old man in his spare time?"
Apparently seeing that Jia Heng was able to visit him, the Minister of the Ministry of War who was about to leave Beijing was very happy.
Jia Heng also had a smile on his face, and said: "Ge Lao will go to Youyan tomorrow, and he will be a post as a post, so I want to send him off."
Li Zan nodded and said with a smile, "Zi Yu has a heart."
Everyone exchanged greetings, and led Jia Heng into the flower hall, where the two parties were divided into guests and hosts, and the servants brought fragrant tea.
Jia Heng put down the teacup, looked up at Li Zan, and asked, "Mr. Ge, can you meet the Holy Majesty before entering the palace?"
The smile faded from Li Zan's face, and he said solemnly: "I will enter the palace in the afternoon to give my speech. The servants in the mansion are packing their luggage. For this trip to the north, you need to bring a lot of maps, books, and local chronicles with you for reference."
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "The old man goes here, screens the feudal lords, and faces the front of the barbarians. He should be the pillar of the country, and the government and the public look forward to it."
Hearing this, Li Zan sighed, and said: "With a weak body of seven feet, we have to defend the north, so we have to do it with all our strength. If we want to send troops to the north, I am afraid that we will need a young hero like Zi Yu, who can successfully organize the army and lead the Sixth Army." On the move."
Jia Heng looked resolute, and said in a deep voice: "The martial arts of the Beijing camp has been initially determined. After that, they will conduct training and conquests for more than half a year, such as building slaves this autumn, or going south to plunder in previous years. Heng is bound to do so. Soldiers go north, and they are longer and shorter."
Li Zan pondered for a while, and said: "Ziyu, there is no need to be in a hurry. I went to Beiping to plan the defense to buy time for the court. As Ziyu said in "Pinglu Ce", time is my time."
Jia Heng said: "This is not a decisive battle with the enemy. It is still important to defend and test the combat strength of new recruits. Otherwise, if you practice soldiers and horses for three to five years before fighting the enemy, you will not be able to train soldiers."
A thousand-mile horse cannot be trained in the courtyard. If the time is right, he will definitely send troops to fight the enemy.
In fact, this year's autumn is like a bandit from the east, and the civil and military officials in the government and the field will certainly have some words to urge him to join the army, so he needs to plan ahead.
"Wait for two days to go to the Military Weapons Supervision, look for skilled craftsmen, let Jinyi Mansion inspectors escort them to the place of Haojing, and learn the art of firearms."
Jia Heng thought about it.
Li Zan smiled and said, "It's good that Ziyu knows what's in his mind."
Turning to look at Hang Min, he jokingly said, "Ziyu's ability to train troops is obvious to all, we have to wait and see."
Hang Min, Shi Jie, and Zou Jing all laughed lightly.
Previously during the martial arts performance at Anshunmen, everyone was excited to see the new look of the new army.
Li Zan pondered for a moment, then asked: "My lord intends to support the military affairs at the establishment of military aircraft the day before yesterday, and Zi Yu is a candidate for the staff and officials, do you have any intentions?"
Because Jia Heng was the proposer of the Military Aircraft Department, Emperor Chongping was bound to listen to Jia Heng's opinion on the selection of the military aircraft department's staff.
Jia Heng said: "I'm still thinking about this matter, I'm afraid it depends on Sacred Heart's preference, who does Ge Lao think can join the military plane?"
Such a new organization has an uncertain grade, which should be able to dispel some people's minds.
But there are also some smart people who are aware of their reputation and want to join the military aircraft.
After all, the earliest cabinet was only a secretarial agency.
Li Zan's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Since it is a military duty, I should choose someone who knows the soldiers, so as not to delay the military and state affairs. When I meet the Holy One in the afternoon, I will recommend candidates to the Holy One."
"What the old man said is true." Jia Heng nodded and agreed.
It's not good to continue this topic because of personnel matters.
There must be one minister of military aircraft, then the Ministry of War may have another one, Shi Jie, the servant of the Ministry of War. As for the governor's office of the five armies, the two kings of Nan'an and Beijing will probably also serve as ministers of military aircraft. There is one difference, I don't know who the emperor will choose.
Of course, it is a trial run now, and it was only a staff organization in the early stage, and this kind of customization has not yet taken shape.
Li Zan thought for a while, and said: "Ziyu, there are many bandits in many provinces, especially in Henan. Recently, the bandits have been invading the localities. If the Beijing camp wants to sharpen its strength, it can go to the Central Plains to suppress bandits and train troops."
Jia Heng said: "Mr. Ge, I also have the same thoughts. First, I want to suppress the bandits, so that the soldiers can see their blood, and then I plan to go north."
Mentioning the riots caused by local bandits, Shi Jie's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the capital of Henan sent an urgent dispatch of military information, saying that the bandits entrenched in Jigong Mountain broke through Luoshan County, and opened warehouses to release grain in two or three days. The officers and soldiers of the Runing Mansion rushed over, and Fang withdrew back to the mountains."
Hearing this, Jia Heng's complexion gradually became serious, and he said: "Have you ever reported this matter to the Holy One?"
Shi Jie said worriedly: "The Secretary of General Administration has sent a copy of the general's information and the memorial to the palace, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has already selected generals and schools, ready to go to the Runing Mansion to supervise military affairs."
At this time, Xinyang County belonged to Runing Prefecture, which was in the south of Henan Province, and further south was Hubei Province. The bandits occupied the junction of the two provinces and used the terrain to deal with the officials and troops.
Jia Heng pondered for a while, and said: "Master Shi, the local bandits are causing chaos, and the Ministry of War and the five armies' governor's offices will discuss and deal with it. For example, how are the specific responsibilities divided?"
The weather in Chen Han has been abnormal for the past few years, the year has not been good, coupled with the exploitation of corrupt officials by the local government, many soldiers have turned into bandits, roaring in the mountains and forests, the officers and soldiers have been ineffective in suppressing and arresting bandits, and the local bandits are chaotic one after another, and the central court officials are almost numb up.
Shi Jie explained: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will manage the capitals and guards of the world. They will send generals, and the Ministry of War will issue orders."
The Ministry of War is all civilian officials, and it is impossible to send officials to the localities to supervise and suppress bandits. Everything still needs the cooperation of the generals selected by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
Jia Heng frowned, and asked: "Master Shi wants to transfer troops from the Beijing camp to the south of Henan to arrest them?"
Shi Jie sighed: "Let's see first. If the campaign is not effective, the lower officials will go to the Holy One and send soldiers from the Beijing camp out of Shaanxi and into Henan. At that time, Ziyu will be asked to assist."
Several people were talking, and before they knew it, it was already noon, Li Zan ordered the back kitchen to host a banquet for them.
After finishing the luncheon, Jia Heng discussed with Li Zan and others the arrangement of military affairs in the north, then left Li's residence and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
……
……
When it was almost time, as soon as I arrived in the mansion, I vaguely heard the sound of opera coming from the direction of Tianxiang Tower in Huifang Garden.
Today is the fifth day of breaking, and Rongning and Ningfu have set up a stage in the open space in front of Tianxiang Tower to celebrate Jia Heng's promotion, and Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Feng Wan, and Chai Dai are also invited. Tianxianglou Gaole.
Jia Heng walked into the inner hall, met Qingwen head-on, nodded at her, and asked, "Why didn't you go to the theater?"
Qingwen used to have a lively temperament, although she has read books and learned to read, her lively temperament has not changed much.
Qingwen smiled lightly and said: "It's boring to listen to every day. I think the young master should come back. By the way, young master, the two girls from You's family came here at noon. Now they are in Tianxiang Tower."
Jia Heng nodded, thought for a while, and then asked: "Who is in Tianxiang Tower at this moment?"
Qingwen said: "The old lady in Xifu, the eldest wife, the second wife, Grandma Zhu, the second grandmother Lian, the eldest girl, the second girl, the third girl, Miss Lin, Mrs. Xue's wife and Miss Bao."
Jia Heng heard a string of girls, grandmothers, wives, couldn't help laughing and said: "You are reporting the name of the dish."
Qingwen said softly: "Don't you want to go and see, young master?"
Jia Heng said: "I'm a little tired, I don't really want to go, and if I go, they won't feel comfortable."
Sometimes it's like this, dealing with all kinds of people is really exhausting, and suddenly remembering that Qingwen didn't mention Xichun just now, she asked, "Did Fourth Sister go?"
Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Miss Si, I don't usually go there very often. She said she was not feeling well, so she didn't come."
Originally, Xichun wasn't very enthusiastic about the daily activities of the two prefectures. It was fine at first, but now that she has Miaoyu as her companion, she has become more and more isolated.
Jia Heng paused, and said, "I'll go see her."
Thinking of that cold-hearted and cold-hearted little lolita, it might be good to talk to her for a while instead.
The courtyard where Xichun lives is a square house, with dwarf pine trees planted under the blue walls. Even though it is the first month of the spring, the pine branches are still lush and green. Looking from a distance, the green color is like smoke and fog.
Xichun is wearing a pink satin fur cloak with apricot-yellow embroidered magnolia embroidered with a satin embroidered fur and a beige embroidered horse-face skirt with embroidered branches of magnolia. In front of the bamboo cage in the corner, feeding rabbits, looking at a pair of white rabbits eating in the cage, with a happy look on their pretty faces.
Miaoyu is sitting on a bamboo and rattan chair under the eaves of the corridor. She wears a Miaochang bun on her head, a moon white plain sleeve jacket, and a long vest trimmed with waterfield blue satin. Underneath is a white silk skirt painted in light ink, because of her slim figure, her curves are graceful.
At this moment, I am holding a Buddhist scripture in my hand, and the golden sunset is falling down, as if covering it with a layer of golden gauze. With the little girl feeding the rabbit, every movement and stillness, every element and powder, are like a quiet and pleasant picture scroll .
This nun with hair who practiced cultivation did not wear any makeup on her face, with a peaceful expression. She was flipping through the Buddhist scriptures in her palm. The yellowed paper felt a little rough to the touch, rubbing against her delicate skin, making a soft rustling sound.
On the small table next to his hand, the teacup was steaming.
"Miss, the uncle is here." At this moment, Cai Ping came from the outside and said with a smile on his face.
Xichun, who was feeding the rabbit, paused, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.
Lifting a slap-sized clear face, the clear eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows looked towards the prestige, and saw a slender young man with a calm face walking towards him at a leisurely pace under the corridor.
Miaoyu was also stunned when she heard the words, put the Buddhist scriptures in her hands on her knees, raised her eyes to look at the corridor, fixed her eyes on the boy in python clothes, and frowned.
Well, since the last fight with Jia Heng was at a disadvantage, Miaoyu felt like she didn't perform well at the time after a fight, secretly resuming the game, and she still wanted to find her place in her heart.
At that time, Jia Heng approached, looked at Xi Chun who had gotten up, and asked, "Where is my sister feeding the rabbit?"
Xichun patted her little hands, and slapped the grass clippings away, with a little joy floating between her childish eyebrows, she nodded, and said calmly, "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng looked sideways and said with a smile: "This pair of rabbits are much fatter than when they were delivered."
At this time, Ru Hua smiled and said: "Master, my girl has nothing to do, so she just feeds this pair of rabbits, she likes it very much."
Hearing this, Xichun pursed her pink lips, stared into the painting, and after a while, caught a look turning around, and quickly lowered her gaze, like playing hide-and-seek.
Jia Heng looked at Xichun, and said softly: "You can't let them eat all the time, don't get sick."
"En." Xichun replied.
As Jia Heng said, he turned to look at Miao Yu who was sitting on the rattan chair, and asked, "Is the teacher here?"
When Miaoyu heard that she was called "Master Tai", agitation arose in her heart. She suppressed it immediately, put down the Buddhist scriptures, got up, clasped her palms together, said a Buddha's name, a beautiful, white and greasy jade face, seeing Zhuang Respectful expression: "The poor nun has seen Lord Jia."
Jia Heng looked Miaoyu up and down, and said: "Master Miaoyu is eating fast in the backyard, reciting Buddha, meditating and enlightening the Tao, she doesn't want to see and hear well."
Miaoyu raised her head, saw a sharp light in the depths of her crystal clear eyes, and said quietly: "The hustle and bustle of the world, even if you don't pay attention, the noise will penetrate into people's ears, disturbing people's tranquility."
She is on Xichun's side, how can she not hear the news that the person in front of her has been promoted to noble?
Jia Heng let out a "hmm", looked at Miaoyu who was dressed in a non-monk, non-Taoist and non-vulgar, and said slowly: "Miss Miaoyu, Xu is not moving by the wind, nor is it moving by the flag, but the heartbeat, which is unknown."
When Miaoyu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and her white cheeks were slightly hot.
This apprentice...was playing tricks on her again.
Seeing that the two of them had a tendency to quarrel when they got together, Xichun said softly, "Brother Heng, you are still talking in the room."
Jia Heng nodded and followed Xichun into the wing.
But at this time, Miaoyu hesitated for a moment, and followed in with a Buddhist scripture.
Jia Heng sat beside the small table, exchanging pleasantries with Xi Chun.
Turning his head to look at the surrounding decorations, he stopped in front of the pictures hanging on the wall, and saw under the pines, white rabbits, one big and one small, gnawing together on a tuft of green grass in the crevices of the stones.
Jia Heng looked thoughtful, turned to look at Xi Chun, and asked, "Is this drawn by my sister?"
Xichun's eyes fell on the pair of rabbits, and said softly: "I have nothing to do, I'm just painting for fun."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "The painting is not bad. The vegetation grows among the narrow rocks and is thriving. The rabbit is as white as jade, lively and lively. One is green and the other is white. What does the fourth sister mean?"
I am a pure and innocent person, don't let you lead me into trouble?This is actually mental cleanliness.
When Xichun heard the words, ripples started to ripple in the lake of her heart, and she let out a soft "hmm".
Jia Heng didn't continue this topic, and asked: "Tianxianglou has hired a theater troupe, why didn't my sister play tricks?"
Xichun shook her head lightly, and said, "I don't really like listening to drums and gongs, I think it's a bit noisy."
Unlike in the past, this tsundere little lolita has opened up some of her heart.
Jia Heng was silent for a while, glanced at Miaoyu, frowned and said: "Morning bells and evening drums, wooden fish chanting scriptures... may not be noisy."
Miaoyu: "..."
What does it matter to her?
Jia Heng said: "Actually, I don't listen to opera much."
Xichun stared at Jia Heng, clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, and said, "I heard that Brother Heng wrote the second part of the Three Kingdoms script, and I read the first one..."
Jia Heng said: "It's in my study, let me show it to my sister later."
At this moment, Miaoyu turned around and ordered the girl to prepare tea, and after a while, she said, "Master Heng, drink tea."
As he spoke, he brought two teacups and handed them to Jia Heng and Xi Chun.
Jia Heng took the jade cup, sniffed the tea soup, took a sip, and put it aside.
Miaoyu looked at the young man across from her for a moment, and asked casually, "What do you think of this tea, Master Heng?"
"Sweet and clear, just to quench your thirst." Jia Heng paused, and said slowly.
Miaoyu was silent for a moment, then asked: "Master Heng, do you know what kind of water is used to boil it?"
Jia Heng didn't bother to guess for a long time, and said casually: "As Miss Miaoyu likes, wind, frost, rain and snow, it's probably like this."
Miaoyu: "???"
Wind, frost, rain and snow, I really can't say wrong for a while, but why is there a sense of sarcasm in the words?
As she likes?Probably so?
After thinking about it, he said in a cold tone: "This is four years ago, I lived in the Xuantou Panxiang Temple, and I collected the snow from the plum blossoms to cook, and I kept it and was reluctant to eat it."
Xichun looked at the two bickering, her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescent moons, and said softly: "Brother Heng, I asked Master Miaoyu for this tea earlier, but she was not willing to let me eat it."
Miaoyu said: "Before it's time to open the urn, if you drink it in advance, it will hinder the taste of the tea soup."
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "White clouds are in the sky, the moon is on the ground, burning incense and cooking tea, reading verses and translating scriptures, donating all the worldly thoughts, all dusty hearts are exhausted, Mrs. Miaoyu is an outsider, and she is not myself. People in the world are comparable."
Miaoyu's face was slightly stagnant, tasting meaningful words, and looking at the young man again, her eyes were shining, and her thoughts were inexplicable.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, she ignored Miaoyu, looked at Xichun, and asked, "Is my sister eating well recently?"
Xi Chun replied: "It's all right, Brother Lao Heng is very concerned."
Jia Heng took a sip of the tea soup and said: "I have to listen to an opera in a few days. If my sister has free time, she can go to Tianxiang Tower more. Living in the courtyard for a long time and turning around an inch of space is not good for your health."
In the past few days, he really didn't see Xichun come out to play very much, presumably it was because of his sexual preference and quietness.
