Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() "Brother Wu, with Sheng Yangong's warrant in your hand, can you really extract food, grass and military equipment? Does the ambassador in the official warehouse admit it?"

"Brother Liu, you have asked this question [-] times along the way. Are you annoying? You are really afraid, and when the time comes, you should keep quiet and just call us Runing Camp. .But my little brother’s ugly words are up front, when the time comes for the distribution of food, grass and armaments, you can only take a small amount.”

"What are you talking about! We brothers share the blessings and share the hardships, and I am also a responsible person. If you agree to be half of the family, you can't deny it!"

"It's fine with your words. Anyway, you will see what my little brother will do when the time comes!"

……

After drinking and eating, Wu Shigong and Wu Shiwen immediately entered Qufu County overnight, and started Wu Shigong's journey of spitting lotus flowers.

This time Sheng Yangong paid much attention to it. He, the direct descendants of the Confucian mansion and Qing Ke met the two brothers Wu Shigong together.

When Wu Shiwen reported that Liu Zeqing had given up on entering Qufu County and was going to Ningyang County together with Wu Shigong's Runing Camp, the Confucius family was overjoyed.

But when Wu Shiwen went on to report: Liu Zeqing asked the Confucian government to solve the problem of food and grass because of the lack of military rations due to the hasty march, the faces of the people in the Confucian government suddenly became ugly.

At this time, Wu Shigong interjected from the side: "Grandpa! In fact, the younger generation also knows that the Confucian Mansion is a scholarly family, and the family has little money left. They also want to help scholars from all over the world to visit the Confucian Mansion, so they must not be able to supply so much." Food and grass. So the junior thought of a way to give General Liu a step down."

"This Confucian Mansion is where the world's literary eyes are located, and it must not be invaded by the chaos. Therefore, defending the Confucian Mansion means protecting the world's scholars. The importance of this matter is second only to that of the Ming Dynasty."

"But in the Jining official warehouse, there is a huge amount of food, grass and military equipment. During this critical period, we have to provide one or two. The junior dares to ask the father-in-law to write a warrant for the junior and General Liu to go to the Jining official warehouse to pick it up." Grain and weapons."

"In this way, the crisis of the Confucian Mansion can be solved, and the army of the younger generation and General Liu will have sufficient food and grass. This is a good thing that has the best of both worlds!"

In fact, with the family wealth of the Confucian Mansion, there is absolutely no problem in supplying such troops with rations.The reason why they refuse to supply is nothing more than the outburst of their miser's nature.At the end of the day, they thought in their hearts: the safety of the world, what does our Confucian mansion have to do with it?Why should our Confucian government pay money and food?Anyway, the change of dynasties is not to praise our Confucian mansion high?

But Liu Zeqing's army ration problem still needs to be solved?So when they heard that Wu Shigong's method no longer required Confucian Mansion to supply food and grass, all the faces of the Confucian Mansion suddenly turned into flowers of laughter.

However, seeing that Duke Shengyan was about to open his mouth to agree, a careful Qing guest also raised a question: "General, our Confucian Mansion's warrant is easy to issue, but Jining Guancang does not necessarily accept it? If something happens If it doesn't work, then General Liu won't blame our Confucian mansion again?"

Regarding this question, Wu Shigong had already thought about the answer, and he replied without hesitation: "This junior thinks that with the warrant from the Lord-in-law, the ambassador of this official storehouse must give the Confucian family some face. Even if the matter fails, The Confucian Mansion has done its best, and General Liu will never blame the Confucian Mansion, and at most find the ambassador of the official warehouse to vent his anger. So, my lord, you can relax."

For Wu Shigong's answer, the Confucius family was quite satisfied.By writing a bad check, Liu Zeqing, the adversary, can be driven out of Qufu County, and there will be no sequelae afterwards. How can this not satisfy the Confucian government?

Next, of course, Sheng Yangong wrote a warrant with his own hand, and handed it to Wu Shigong with the official seal.

Because he solved the problem, Sheng Yangong was very excited.When he learned that Wu Shigong hadn't picked up a character yet, he enthusiastically proposed that he should get a character for Wu Shigong.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was a very grand event for the elders to choose characters for the younger generation, but with Sheng Yangong choosing characters for Wu Shigong, it was like covering Wu Shigong with a layer of gold powder.Therefore, regarding Sheng Yangong's choice of characters, the two brothers were immediately flattered and filled with joy.

But Sheng Yangong thought for a while, and chose a word "to respect" for Wu Shigong.As a modern person, Wu Shigong actually doesn't pay much attention to whether he chooses characters or not. He just wants to make fun in front of Sheng Yangong.

Besides, Wu Shigong, a semi-literate person, couldn't understand what was wrong with the word "to respect", and the two words were not unpleasant to read, so Wu Shigong wanted to agree.

It's not bad, Wu Shigong's ability to perceive words and demeanor is quite strong, when he saw the people around him, including his fifth brother Wu Shiwen, all gaping and defecating after hearing "Jing Jing", He immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Sheng Yangong's word for Wu Shigong is not without origin. He comes from the phrase "out of respect and into respect".We modern people may not be familiar with this sentence, but we can take a look at it separately.

The first two characters are "Chu Gong". What does "Come out" mean?A Chinese should know it all.correct!This sentence was in the Ming Dynasty, that is, when scholars were taking the exam, if they wanted to go to the toilet, they had to get a sign that said "Out of respect, into respect".Later generations called going to the toilet Chugong, which is how it came about.

Now we should understand why the people around have poop faces?It doesn't work if you don't have a bowel movement!

In fact, when Wu Shigong was born, his father Wu Weizhong chose this name for Wu Shigong very casually.But now, even though Sheng Yangong knew the phrase "Out of respect, in respect", he didn't know the true meaning and purpose of this sentence.Although it is true that Sheng Yangong does not need to take part in the examination for scholars, but he gave Wu Shigong such an indecent word, then Sheng Yangong is really ignorant.

Seeing the cold scene, Qing Ke next to Sheng Yangong immediately explained in Sheng Yangong's ear.That Duke Sheng Yan's expression remained unchanged, maybe he was used to making a fool of himself before.He immediately changed his words to "Chang Jing".The two brothers Wu Shiwen and Wu Shigong would definitely not be so uninterested in ordering clothes.So this matter just got mixed up in such a vague way.

As Wu Shigong kowtowed to Sheng Yangong to express his gratitude, the atmosphere of joy between the host and guest immediately permeated.

Our Wu Shigong, Wu Rujing, no!It was Mr. Wu Changjing who immediately joined forces with Liu Zeqing's army after taking Sheng Yangong's warrant and drove to Ningyang County.

There is no need to prepare for the New Year. After arriving in Ningyang County, Wu Shigong immediately ordered all his carts to be emptied, and collected some carts in Ningyang County, plus the carts of Liu Zeqing's army, a total of more than 800 carts were collected. big car.

Then, Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing took more than 1000 soldiers and more than 800 civilian husbands, and immediately rushed to the Jining official warehouse to load food, grass and military equipment.

Wu Shigong never thought about whether Ambassador Guancang would recognize Sheng Yangong's warrant.If the ambassador of Guancang refuses to admit it, he will grab it himself.This is not the first time Wu Shigong has robbed.

Anyway, there is a warrant from Sheng Yangong!With the warrant, if something happens, the Confucian government will take the blame.Anyway, even if it is to ask the crime, first ask Sheng Yangong, and then ask Wu Shigong and the others.The feeling of enjoying the shade under this big tree is really beautiful!

But if Sheng Yangong knew that Wu Shigong had such a true idea, would he still choose words for Wu Shigong?Even if it is taken, it will make Wu Shigong "out of respect and in respect" forever.
