Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 47 The First Meeting

One day in mid-July, the rain lasted for two days, and the air was a little cooler.

In the pond in the small courtyard, the rain splashed with flowers, Wang Qiu was busy packing up the clothes to dry, Zhao Shijian was teaching him to read, and the water curtain in the ditch was like a crystal pearl, rolling down like a lively and beating elf.

The rain hasn't stopped, and I can hear Uncle Wang's voice vaguely across the rain screen, "Brother Yun, someone is looking for you outside."

Shi Congyun responded, packed up his things and got up, Zhao Xiaoniang had consciously held up an umbrella for him.

"Ruzi can be taught."

Passing through the courtyard under the old willow tree, stepping on the rainwater out of the courtyard, to the main hall, there is already a middle-aged man in a cyan official uniform waiting there, with steaming tea in his hand.

Seeing him surprised for a moment, he immediately asked, "Is it Shi Du Shi?"

Shi Congyun nodded: "It's a certain, what is this police officer doing?"

"Forgive me for being so clumsy. I didn't expect Du Shi to be so young, so young and promising. Du Shi was instructed to inform Du Shi that he would go to the Office of the Chief of Staff in front of the palace to order eggs at noon tomorrow."

Shi Congyun nodded, "Thank you for telling me, it's getting late, stay and have dinner before leaving."

"It's all polite, I have to go elsewhere to tell me, so I won't bother." The middle-aged official handed his farewell.

Shi Congyun sent him out again, and when he returned home, he realized that his leisurely days were coming to an end.

Ordinary soldiers may still have time to rest, but the high-ranking officials of the front office have to go straight ahead, because there are still many things to be arranged.

The next morning, Shi Congyun had a hasty meal. With the help of Zhao Shijian, he put on the official uniform he brought back. To be honest, he really didn't wear it. Many ritual equipment did not understand what it was for. Well, fortunately, there is Zhao Xiaoniang who knows how to do it.

Military generals also usually wear round-necked official robes. After all, the armor can be dozens of pounds. If it is not for the sake of life in battle, a fool would wear it.

Of course, some senior generals will also wear armor on special occasions for sacrifice, but most of them are ceremonial armor, which is specially used for ceremonies. It is made of fine fabrics and thin metal sheets.

The disadvantage is that it is papery, and it is not suitable for use in the middle, but it is just right for ceremonies.

When Shi Congyun took office as a new official, he was still at a loss. He had inquired about the responsibilities of the Inner Hall and the position of the official yamen, but he didn't know exactly what to do.

At about noon, he set out from his home and headed west along West Street, then turned north to the rear of the Imperial City.

The military offices of the Zhou Dynasty were all outside the north gate of the imperial city, and many were built against the city wall, so the army went in and out through the Chenqiao Gate and Fengqiu Gate in the north.

Moreover, the north of the city is empty and there is no residential area, and large open spaces can be used as camps and school grounds.

There is indeed a long way to the north from Fengqiumen where the Shifu is located.

After walking for a while on horseback, I saw the official office in front of the palace in the north of the city.

In front of the gate stood two huge and mighty stone lions, and there were black tiger flags on both sides behind the entrance.

Further inside are many wing rooms and courtyards, and the lobby in the middle is where the front office of the hall works.

However, in order to facilitate the affairs of the troops in front of the palace, the official offices are usually near the camp, and the reason why they came to the official office in front of the palace today must be explained by the above.

When they got to the gate, they happened to meet Gao Huaide. The two said a few words and entered together.

Shi Congyun didn't know what to do today, so he asked Gao Huaide. Gao Huaide must have seen a lot.

Gao Huaide told him that today is probably just to talk about the rules and let everyone meet, and nothing will really happen.

After that, things turned out as he said, and after arriving at the main hall where the discussions were held, many commanders came one after another.

Dianqian Division now has under the jurisdiction of Iron Cavalry, Konghe, Neidianzhi, Scattered Members and other armies, with a strength of about 20, and there are about [-] people at the command level, most of whom Shi Congyun does not know.

After everyone met, they greeted each other, and then sat on the seats on both sides. In fact, Shi Congyun was naturally very unusual because he was too young.

There were also many people who came to say hello to him, with undiminished smiles and incomparable enthusiasm.

Shi Congyun naturally doesn't feel that he has flowers on his face, and everyone loves him. I'm afraid that most of them are because of his father Shi Yanchao, so everyone will be close to him.

He naturally does not refuse anyone who comes, and everyone keeps a smiley face. Anyway, a smiley face that has no practical significance can still win people's hearts.

After everyone talked for a while, the three chiefs of the front division finally came.

The first was Zhang Yongde, the commander of the front of the hall, followed by Shi Yanchao, the deputy commander of the front of the hall, and Li Jixun, the marquis of Yu, the front of the hall.

The first two people, Shi Congyun, knew that Zhang Yongde had met in Gaoping, not to mention his father, but only the last Duke of Yu, Li Jixun, he met for the first time.

Li Jixun is thinner than Zhang Yongde, and he may be two years older than his father. He has a flat face, dark skin and looks very strong.

As for why he didn't compare with Shi Yanchao, if he were to compare with Shi Yanchao, everyone present would be considered thin.

Shi Congyun thought in his heart, I don't know if he can grow to his father's physique in the future. If so, he can wear five layers of armor and can be a humanoid tank.

He whispered the origin of Gao Huaide and Li Jixun beside him.

"Li Jixun was the commander of the scattered staff before, and after the battle of Gaoping, he was promoted to the Duke of Yu in front of the palace."

Shi Congyun nodded. It turned out that they had fought together, but they didn't know each other.

The generals sat relatively casually. Except for the three chiefs in the upper seat, everyone below sat casually. According to the size of their functions, he would not be able to sit with Gao Huaide.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Yongde got up to make everyone quiet, and then explained the matter.

It is probably to explain when the armies start to gather soldiers, when to start laying eggs, and the various tasks that the generals need to do in advance.

The veterans were already familiar with it, and they were listless. Only Shi Congyun straightened his back and listened intently. He was really inexperienced and didn't know what to do, so he could only listen carefully.

Among the three superiors above, Li Jixun was just a foil and could not speak. Most of the time it was Zhang Yongde who spoke, while his father, Shi Yanchao, was more like a boss.

Although Zhang Yongde has a distinguished status, he is the son-in-law of the first emperor according to his seniority and official family.

But in fact, he was six or seven years younger than the official Guo Rong, and now he is less than thirty.

The military veterans below were either used to being sloppy, or felt that he was young, and the above was whispering from time to time, or his demeanor was light and not so respectful.

At this time, Shi Yanchao only snorted and glared at him, and all of them would be honest immediately, and the effect was immediate. After all, Shi Yanchao was famous and was a veteran in the military, and no one dared to confront him.

The meeting has been open for nearly an hour, explaining everything that can be explained.

Shi Congyun extracted two points from it. Before August [-]th, many soldiers and soldiers would be recalled. After that, each army returned to its previous order and tasks.

Zhang Yongde also named Nei Dianzhi in particular, because most of the rest of the army was stationed outside the city, and only Inner Dianzhi was the one who guarded the imperial city and followed the emperor.

Second, it is necessary to strictly enforce military discipline and strictly prohibit the army from disturbing the people. This is an oral edict given by the official family. After the war in the north, the official family has paid more and more attention to military discipline.The generals and soldiers in the army must take precautions and act on their own, otherwise, if something goes wrong, they will definitely be punished severely.

Shi Congyun kept it firmly in his heart.

After the people dispersed, he went out of the gate of the official office and was stopped by his father.

This time, Dad was also accompanied by an officer of the same age as Zhang Yongde, with deep eye sockets and a narrow face and a hooked nose.

"Father, why are you calling me?" Shi Congyun hurried over.

Shi Yanchao said directly: "This is King Shenqi, the Duke of Yu, the capital of the Iron Cavalry. He used to know the inner palace. If you don't understand anything, please ask him."

Shi Congyun looked at Wang Shenqi next to his father, and immediately understood that the father was afraid that he would not be able to handle the affairs of the inner palace, so he specially asked someone to teach him, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I have seen Wang Duyu, Please give me more advice in the future.”

"It's all polite, but it's actually nothing difficult. You can talk to you casually, and you'll get acquainted quickly." Wang Shenqi responded politely, giving people the feeling of being easy to get along with.
