Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 46

Yuan Wenshao followed the eunuch leading the way into the Hall of Ruisi, bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for morning court visits, receiving imperial edicts, and some sacrificial activities, there was no need to kneel down.

The official waved his hand and said, "Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuan Wenshao straightened up and lowered his eyes slightly, waiting for the official to speak.

On the way here, he was thinking about the purpose of the officials summoning him alone, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

"Haha." The official chuckled and said, "Do you know why I asked you to take charge of the brave camp?"

Yuan Wenshao said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty has a lot of things in his mind, and the minister is dull. He just needs to follow orders and doesn't think too much about it."

He naturally thought about the intention of the officials to let him lead the Valiant Battalion.

The Xiaoyong Battalion is one of the [-] battalions of the Western Suburb Camp, with [-] soldiers and horses. Let him be in charge, and it seems that he is very important to him.

But as mentioned earlier, the soldiers and generals of the camp in the western suburbs only have the right to train troops, not the real right to command the troops.

Without an edict, he could not move even a single soldier out of the western suburbs camp.

Even if the officials want to mobilize the brave battalion to fight in the future, they will send other generals to lead the troops.

The only function of his command is to train troops.

Such a position is generally used to place those generals who have made too much credit or are suspected by the officials.

Yuan Wenshao thought that his little credit was not enough to be a master of merit.

So why did the officials let him take charge of the Valiant Camp?
Later he thought of a possibility because he was too young.

He is only 17 years old now. According to his title, he must be given a fourth-grade military rank.

This rank is already very high among the frontier army. If he is left in the frontier army, it will be difficult to reward him if he makes some meritorious service in a few years.

And transferring him to Bianjing can not only cut off his chance to make meritorious service, but also prevent him from cultivating power in the army.

If necessary in the future, he can still be deployed on the battlefield, which can be said to serve multiple purposes with one stone.

Of course, all of this was his guess, and he didn't have the guts to say it directly.

"Slippery." The official laughed and cursed, and said: "Ding Guogong's previous report said that you have developed a new method of training soldiers, and the effect is very good. The camp in the western suburbs has been a little sluggish in the past few years. I will let you take charge of it." Xiaoyong Camp, on the one hand, I want to see how effective the new military training method you have researched is. On the other hand, I also think that you are still young, so you can inject some vitality into the Western Suburb Camp."

"Your Majesty, I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's entrustment." Yuan Wenshao said with a bow.

The western suburbs camp is known as a retirement home among the generals. It would be strange if it doesn't become sluggish.

It's not that the soldiers are not enterprising, but that the generals transferred to the camp in the western suburbs basically have no hope of promotion, and they all have a muddling attitude and deal with things every day.

If it weren't for the British government, the hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers in the Western Suburb Camp would have been even worse.

But for Yuan Wenshao, it is a good place.

He originally wanted to earn a title, but now that he already had the title, why bother to go to the battlefield and work hard.

He will be in charge of one of the large camps in the western suburbs and will be the first to respond when Zhao Zongquan suppresses the rebellion. By then, there should not be much of a problem in upgrading the title to hereditary status.

"Yes." The official nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will explain to the British Lord later that you can act cheaply and he will not interfere. I am waiting to see the results of your military training."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yuan Wenshao murmured in his heart, the officials don't really just want me to train soldiers, do they?
No matter what, since the official said this, I have to show some real skills when the time comes.

"By the way, I heard that you will get married in March next year. I am not an unkind person. I will wait until you get married before going to the western suburbs camp to take up the post." The official said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Anyway, in ancient times, there was no such thing as suspending pay and staying at work. If you don’t take up the post, you will still be paid, and fools are not willing to do so.

Until he left Ruisi Hall, Yuan Wenshao didn't understand the real intention of the officials looking for him.

It's really strange to say that the officials really wanted him to train soldiers, but they gave him a few months' leave.

When Yuan Wenshao couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother to think about it. After coming out of Ruisi Hall, he followed Eunuch Li to the inner mansion to receive the rewards.

……

Imperial City Gate
Yuan Weichang couldn't help but feel a little anxious after waiting for a long time without seeing Yuan Wenshao come out.

It was a great honor for the official to be summoned alone. While he was happy, he was also worried that Yuan Wenshao would offend the official because he didn't know the seriousness.

"Master, the Second Young Master has come out."

Zhang An's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see Yuan Wenshao walking to the gate of the palace city and reminded him.

Yuan Weichang stepped forward quickly, seeing several eunuchs holding boxes behind Yuan Wenshao, he quickly called Zhang An and the coachman to pick up the things.

"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." Yuan Weichang thanked him with a smile, handed over a silver ticket and said with a smile: "Your father-in-law, take it to tea."

"Then thank you Uncle Yuan for the reward." With thanks, the eunuchs left with smiles.

Yuan Weichang looked at the wooden box held in Yuan Wenshao's hand and said excitedly: "Is this the edict of knighthood?"

"Yeah." Yuan Wenshao nodded with a smile.

"Be careful, get in the car and go back quickly, and enshrine it in the ancestral hall." Yuan Weichang said excitedly.

Seeing his father's appearance, Yuan Wenshao joked with a smile: "Father, our family's ancestral hall has even enshrined iron coupons of alchemy books. Why are you so excited about an edict? When I come back with an iron coupon of alchemy books, you will not be happy." broken."

Generally, in addition to the edict, there are iron certificates of alchemy for conferring titles, but Yuan Wenshao's title can only be inherited for three generations.

Many people think that the Danshu Iron Coupon is the gold medal for avoiding death.

In fact, the iron certificate of Danshu is not equal to the gold medal for avoiding death.

The Danshu Iron Voucher is engraved with the merits and rewards of the knight, because it is written with gold, it is also called the Golden Book Iron Voucher.

Some people will be exempted from death by the emperor because of their great merit, and this will also be engraved on the iron coupon of the Danshu, so the iron coupon of the Danshu will have the symbol of avoiding death.

However, even if there is no inscription on the iron certificate of the alchemy, if it is not a serious crime, the iron certificate of the alchemy will only be taken back by the duojue, and the crime will not be pursued.

When the Yuan family was deprived of their title, it stands to reason that they would be held accountable, because there was an iron certificate in the alchemy book, which exempted them from any culpability.

From this point of view, the Danshu Iron Coupon is indeed equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.

Of course, whether you can avoid death depends on whether the emperor at the time recognizes it or not.

The heroic officials killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty were basically given by Dan Shu iron coupons to avoid death, and they should be killed if they should be killed.

The ultimate power of interpretation of this thing is in the hands of the emperor, as long as he is accused of rebellion, the iron certificate of Dan Shu will not work.

After the Yuan family was restored to the throne, the official family did not return the iron certificate of the alchemy book, which has always been a regret in Yuan Weichang's heart.

Yuan Weichang looked around, glared at him, and said angrily, "Can you talk nonsense like this? Get in the car and go back!"

The father and son got into the car. Yuan Weichang carefully opened the box, took out the imperial edict, read it again and again, and then carefully put it back.

"After returning home, you can take other things directly to your yard for storage. When you move back later, just go there. The edict must be enshrined in the ancestral hall." Yuan Weichang said.

"Dad, there are a lot of jewelry among the gifts given by the officials. Let's go back and let mother and sister-in-law choose a few." Yuan Wenshao suggested.

In ancient times, there were strict institutional etiquette, and many clothing and jewelry styles had strict usage requirements.

But this system does not apply to royal rewards.

Therefore, the wearing of jewelry rewarded by the royal family is not beyond the rules, but a symbol of glory.

Although Yuan Wenshao didn't have a good impression of that cheap mother and sister-in-law, but the project of saving face was to be done.

Yuan Weichang was silent for a while, then said: "Just let your mother choose a few, and when Wenying gets married in the future, they can also be used to suppress the bottom of the box, so that other people can't see clearly. Your sister-in-law likes to tell lies the most. If it wasn't her, your mother wouldn't be biased like this, I didn't approve of marrying her back then."

Yuan Weichang didn't have the slightest affection for this eldest daughter-in-law. If she hadn't been a gossip, Mrs. Yuan would be eccentric. Yuan Wenshao was also her own, so she wouldn't be eccentric to this extent.

"Then just follow what dad said." Yuan Wenshao said.

In the memory of the original owner, Mrs. Yuan was really nice to him before the elder sister-in-law came in.

In addition, the identity of the biological mother is there, so I have to give a little bit.
