Qingchuan History

Chapter 194

On November [-]th of the sixth year of Jinghong, the Wei State Mission arrived in Jidu.Wei Jun Murong Xun wrote a letter to Qi Jun Gu Xinglang as early as [-] days ago, and asked if everything was all right for Wei Xiang's daughter, Mrs. Jin, who has been in the palace for more than half a year. .

Qi Jun and Gu Xinglang readily agreed.At noon on the seventeenth day of the eleventh month, before the mission had crossed the border of Jidu, there were Daqi soldiers waiting dozens of li ahead of time to meet them.The leader of the team is Chai Yinuo, who has just been promoted to the captain of Shesheng, the son of the Hussar general's mansion, and the youngest fourth-rank military general in the Qi Dynasty.

The tangerines are cold and the people are cold, and the old sycamore trees are in autumn.

As the convoy approached Jidu, Jing Tingge looked at the ever-increasing phoenix trees outside the window, and inexplicably thought of these two sentences.Unlike Ruan Xueyin's "omnivorous", she hardly reads poems or legends, but only reads military books——

By the way, learn the historical materials related to those battle strategies.

So this poem was not read by her.Ruan Xueyin likes it, she read it twice by chance before, but she just remembered it like this.

She laughed at herself a little, and then mocked that girl:
When he was a teenager, he talked about the phoenix tree, and after a few years, he really fell into the phoenix tree.Things in this world are really unspeakable and unspeakable.

Thinking about entering Qi Palace soon, she was inexplicably happy, even a little excited.She was really interested in getting a glimpse of Gu Xinglang's strength, and also wanted to see how Ruan Xueyin lived in the palace as one of the four wives.As for Heluotu, what is the progress?What about the matter of closing the pavilion?
Murong Xun's voice sounded in her mind after all these complicated thoughts had passed by, maybe she should really figure out the situation between that girl and Gu Xinglang today.

Indus are planted all over Jidu, the color tone of the city is similar to that of the imperial palace, and there is a patch of indigo daisy in the distance, Jing Tingge has known these things for a long time.

She was a little surprised when she actually entered the most prosperous capital city on the mainland: Compared with the red walls of Cangwu, the blue bricks and black tiles of Jidu are already plain in terms of architectural color, and only sycamore trees are planted in the partial city, which is rare flowers and trees.

——It is said that the buildings in Yunshui, the capital of the Bai Kingdom, are also plain, but it is like spring all year round, and the city is full of flowers all year round. It must be more lively than Ji.

Even compared with Suoning City, the one she dislikes the most among the capitals of the Four Kingdoms, it looks too neat and solemn——

Mingming Street is crowded with people and shops, but because the planning is too organized, it seems to be completely smokeless, and even those gorgeous buildings that show the power of the country have a sense of seclusion away from the hustle and bustle.

She raised her eyebrows, wondering if the people in Jidu feel this way, or are they very used to it?

When the convoy arrived at Zheng'anmen, except for the drivers carrying gifts, everyone had to get off their horses and enter the palace on foot.Jing Tingge got out of the car, and followed dozens of gazes that were extremely restrained but followed, and when he arrived in front of Zheng'anmen, Chai Yinuo stood in front of him.

"I will escort you to the gate of the second palace, where there are palace people waiting to guide you, and take you to the Mingluan Palace to have an audience."

Although the other party has the title of Wei Kingdom's number one counselor, he has no exact official position, let alone a rank, so Chai Yinuo does not need to use a modest title, nor does he need to use a respectful title, it is completely appropriate for "you and me" to communicate.

Jing Tingge nodded, looked at the person in front of him for a moment, thought to himself that Qi Ren and Wei Ren are really different in appearance, even the generals are more refined.

"Master Xiaochai is still young, he has reached the fourth rank, and he is still the captain of Shesheng who is in charge of the bow and crossbow soldiers. The future is really promising."

Chai Yinuo is 25 years old this year, several years older than Jing Tingge, and the reason why the latter added a word "small" to his title is because the father of the former is still an official in the court, and he is General Hussar himself. "Master Chai".

"Mr. Jing's reputation is too high. Sir, he really understands the affairs of my dynasty. Speaking of my promotion, it was only seven days ago that I made a decree."

Entering Zheng'anmen, separated by about one and a half people, the two walked slowly side by side.Four Imperial Guard soldiers followed a zhang away, their expressions dignified.

"I am a counselor. Not only do I have to look at the political situation of a country, but I also look at the current situation in Qingchuan. Daqi is the number one country in Qingchuan, so I should pay special attention to it."

Chai Yinuo raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mr. is well-known all over the world, but I don't think he is a straightforward person."

It is about three miles from Zheng'anmen to the second palace gate.The wide bluestone road surface is as clean as a mirror. There are no flowers, plants or bonsai on both sides of the road. There are only three or five tall sycamore trees facing each other from a distance, embellishing the sparse autumn atmosphere in the outermost circle of the palace.

"I've always been straightforward. Don't blame me, sir. If I remember correctly, Mr. Xiaoji and Mr. Captain are the same age as you. At the beginning of the year, he was promoted to the General Administration of the General Administration Department, ranking third rank. Speaking of which, both the Chai family and the Ji family followed Taizu How come Ji Xiang is ranked under one person and over ten thousand people in the famous Qi family who conquered the world, and your father is still a second-rank Hussar General? Even with you, my lord, there is a difference between you and Xiao Ji lord. "She shook her head, seemingly dissatisfied,
"If you want to come to the Chai family to be upright, it doesn't look like the Ji family will win over the king's heart."

Ji Qi has not yet entered an official position and has no official title.Ji Ping entered the officialdom through family background and did not take the scientific examination. Although he was only 25, he had been an official in the court for nine years.The Lord Xiaoji mentioned by Jing Tingge naturally refers to Ji Ping.

After these words, the surroundings were quiet, and suddenly heard two soft and clear chirping sounds in the air, like larks.Chai Yinuo was not in a hurry to answer, and said after a long while:

"Mr. Jing really lives up to his reputation. It's just that you have just entered Jidu and have not yet met the saint, so you are so outspoken first, are you in a hurry?
Jing Tingge smiled, looked at the three words "Chuyan Gate" on the tall palace gate directly in front of him, and said in a light voice:
"Tingge has come to Jidu, and he intended to visit Daqi's talented people and learn from each other. Today, Mr. Xiaochai is here to lead the way. It's a rare opportunity, how can we miss it?"

Chai Yinuo also smiled brightly: "Mr. Suwen is very resourceful. Hearing what he said today, he seems to have insufficient understanding of some simple principles. Qingchuan is a martial artist, and there are more military generals in the courts of various countries than civil servants. This is a fact. But the prime minister is a hundred officials. It is a rule that has not been changed for hundreds of years. Master Ji Huan has made great achievements in internal affairs and foreign affairs during his two dynasties. He is a famous virtuous minister in the world. As for my father, "

He also looked at the Chuyan Gate not far away. On the top of the Wujin Gate tower was the bright blue sky in late autumn.

"The Hussar General's Mansion has been blessed by the Holy Grace since the time of the Taizu. Regardless of military merits, it has been inherited from generation to generation. During the Battle of Bihe during the Taizong period, my grandfather was named a first-rank general, and he was also an extremely human minister. During the Dingzong period, and There has been no major battle," he paused, and swallowed back the words Fengtingguan.
"The so-called no meritorious deeds, the fact that my father inherited the position of General Hussars without any meritorious service is already a great favor of the king. And this dynasty has never appointed a general, and among the generals, no one can pass the mansion of Generals Hussars again. .”

He walked as before, calm and composed, "Mister's so-called superiority and superiority, with all due respect, is not appropriate."

"Master Xiaochai is very good at eloquence. I think military generals are always more clumsy in comparison. Speaking of which, the highest military officials in Qingchuan countries have always been Taiwei; it's just that in the last two dynasties, the power of generals has been completely transferred to the imperial power. The three-point system of military power in the past has become useless. By this time, the positions of Taiwei in the four countries have been suspended. There is no war, and the prestige of each general in the army is also weak. The closest relationship with the soldiers is the day-to-day commanding exercise. People." She smiled again, without turning her head,
"This person is Huo Yan in Wei State; Shen Ji in Daqi. I often joke with His Majesty Wei Jun that although Huo Yan does not have the name of a general, he is a general. The same is true for Lord Shen Ji. .”
