Huaqing Palace has beautiful scenery and pleasant environment, with hot spring food and no complicated public and private affairs to disturb it, just like a paradise.
But Xue Chongxun could not stay here for only three days, precisely because no one disturbed him.
This feeling is very strange. Just like when he was absent from school in the past, he always felt very uneasy. Of course, he remembered that he was a qualified and good student when he was a student.
Neither the comfortable pleasure nor the warmth of Sun's family could keep him, and he set out to leave Huaqing Palace three days later.
The sky cleared at this time. The half-dry road after the rain was neither muddy nor too much dust. The sky was bright and the mountains and rivers were beautiful, which was indeed a good weather for travel.
Xue Chongxun looked at the scenery outside from the carriage and felt natural, fresh and simple. The crops and the hillsides and woods complement each other. He didn't want to go back to Daming Palace so soon. After thinking about it, he lifted the curtain and sent an order to a general riding a horse next to him to Wugong County.
The general immediately clasped his fists and responded, then kicked the horse forward and reported to the guard leader Li Kuiyong, the captain of the Feihu Regiment, that he had gone.
Huaqing Palace is east of Chang'an, and Wugong County is southwest of the city. Xue Chongxun's team came from Huaqing Palace to Wugong County and had to pass through Chang'an, but they went straight west without entering the city.
Of course, some guards went back to report the emperor's itinerary and informed the local officials of Wugong County, but few people on the way knew that this team of horses would be the emperor's guard of ceremonies.
The carriage Xue Chongxun was riding was old and ordinary, and there was no special sign.
However, the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Regiment accompanied him was strong and powerful, with excellent weapons and distinctive armor. At first glance, they were not ordinary soldiers and horses. Most people thought they were the men of a certain prince and noble family.
There are many towns in Jingzhao Prefecture. Xue Chongxun and others rested on the road for a night and arrived in Wugong County the next morning. Before they even arrived at the county town, they met the county magistrate and officials from the Shenji Department to greet them. Many of them knelt on the dusty road.
Xue Chongxun was completely uninterested in the government affairs of Wugong County. There were more than 1,000 counties across the country. Wugong County was just a small one among so many yamen. He had his own superior government management. He directly called the officials of the county yamen to do whatever they should do, and he didn't have to prepare anything for the emperor's carriage; he only let the Shenji Office, which belongs to the Northern yamen system, receive it.
He remembered some stories about emperors visiting the local area in private. After careful consideration, if there is indeed such a thing, those emperors are mostly for fun. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a pity for one or two thousand counties across the country to spend time investigating them one by one?
Even if you make a fool of yourself, you can become a wise ruler. I just play with women and people scold you?
The Shenji Office is a yamen that has just been established, and it has incorporated workshops and craftsmen who used to develop cannons by Ming Guangjun. The system is equivalent to the Jiafang Office. The superior yamen is a military weapon supervisor and is a department of the Northern yamen imperial guards.
The office of the service was located on the north bank of the Wei River in Wugong County, next to the Mingguang Army Barracks. At this time, the main force of the Mingguang Army was still fighting in Yingzhou. There were only more than 1,000 weak soldiers guarding the camp and being responsible for the guards of the nearby Shenji Bureau.
There is also a yamen in Xuanwu Gate of Daming Palace, which is mainly responsible for passing on the above government orders and contacts.
The position of his superior is Ling, named Xiao Dan. He is a young man in his twenties. He claimed that he had worked as a small official in the prince's kingdom in front of Xue Chongxun.
Xue Chongxun had no impression of this person at all, but he thought it would not be fake. It was unlikely that this person would have no background when he was young. Moreover, if he was found to lie in front of the emperor, he would also lose his head.
By noon, Xiao Dan had prepared a sumptuous banquet in the Shenji Bureau's yamen, and there were singing girls to entertain them, probably the official prostitute sent by the magistrate of Wugong County.
The officials from the yamen, officials from Wugong County and famous poets nearby came to the banquet.
These people were very excited at the banquet. They probably drank with the emperor and would be a capital for showing off in the future and would greatly improve their social status.
Before Xue Chongxun moved on to the chopsticks, he said to Xiao Dan: Call the craftsmen who have received rewards in the past to make cannons and have a meal together.
Xiao Dan was a little surprised. After all, the traditional status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce is obvious to the consensus. Craftsmen are not without human rights, but they are too up to the top compared with officials and literati.
However, this was the emperor's imperial edict, so he could only happily check the list and call a group of craftsmen in short clothes and vulgar dresses to the banquet. A group of people were flattered and lying on the floor and kowtowed to the emperor on the seat, and could not say anything other than shouting Wanshou Wujiang.
Xue Chongxun said calmly, and these people were still kneeling, so he said angrily: Do you want me to come down and help you before you get up?
Get up quickly!Xiao Dan hurriedly shouted.
The craftsmen then got up from the ground one after another. An old craftsman with a white beard said with a happy face: The grass people have lived for most of their lives, but they didn't expect to see the emperor with their own eyes!
As for whether this emperor is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, there should be no difference between him. Whoever is the emperor is no difference between the common people, as long as it is not a foreign regime that treats the Han people as animals.
Although this scene was expected by Xue Chongxun, he was still happy. After all, the people didn't care much about the fact that he had a bad country.
Xue Chongxun said: The great Jin Dynasty has obvious merits and demerits. If you have made contributions to the country, you deserve respect from the world and rewarded by the court.The last time those four cannons reduced the casualties of the Imperial soldiers, and that's the credit.It’s just that the early materials are not good, so you have to find a way to create better weapons.
Xiao Dan hurriedly replied: Your Majesty is kind, I will do my best to serve the country.
Seeing that the singing girls in the hall were of average appearance and skills, Xue Chongxun was of course far from the selected women from the Daming Palace Jiaofangsi. In addition, when he was in a good mood, he waved his sleeves: The singing girls here will be rewarded tonight to the masters.
The young and strong craftsmen suddenly had their eyes lit up and even forgot about thanking each other. The old craftsman just now looked awkward, wondering if it was because she was crying when she saw X when she was old.
Although Xue Chongxun only knows how to copy poems and basically can write poems, the quality of other people's poems is still roughly heard. He thinks that these people are doing nonsense that wastes paper without content or meaning. Obviously, poets who can write poems that have been passed down through the ages can not be seen everywhere. Anyone who knows literacy can call himself a literati in small places.
He was not interested in the performances and poetry at the banquet. After eating, he had to go to inspect the workshops that smelted iron and made artillery.
The officials had no choice but to give up the banquet and surrounded Xue Chongxun to see the workshop by the Wei River.
Iron smelting workshops need to use water to blow the air, so most of them are built by the Wei River.
The Wugong County Magistrate and the Shenji Office were not very good, because the lunch program obviously did not serve the emperor comfortably.
The emperors were basically in the palace, and there were very few opportunities to come to their side in person.
In particular, the magistrate of Wugong secretly believed that the emperor was expressing his dissatisfaction with him. The good official prostitute was actually rewarded with a lower-level craftsman. Isn’t this slap him in the face?
A sentence that the aide said made him even more nervous: Everyone knows the best women today, but what is not important is that there is no woman who makes them happy.This is no wonder how many official prostitutes in Xiaoxiao Wugong County can be?
Although the staff did not say it thoroughly, it was not long ago that Chang'an City sang that the emperor used troops in the Northeast to steal beautiful women. Many people have heard of this Wugong County is close to the Jingji area, and the county magistrates and others are in the officialdom.
However, all the rumor-producing people have been exiled for thousands of miles, and the staff members are unwilling to say it directly, which means that they are all implicitly referring to this matter.
Of course, the county magistrate didn’t want to be the county magistrate in Wugong County all his life. He thought about it and asked: There is no outstanding woman under our rule?
The staff suddenly said: There is a village called Taojiazhuang by the Wei River. Last time, Beizhi rode a horse by the river and saw a woman in a clothes washing clothes by the water. She wanted to buy it as a concubine, but when she sent someone to find out that the woman was married to her husband was a farmer with land.My friend persuaded me that I didn't want to lose my reputation because of a woman, so I gave up.This woman's skin is more beautiful than snow. If she came to offer it to the emperor, there would be no mistake... Even if something happened, her husband's family would not take Ming Gong from above, but she would not do anything to the emperor. This was dedicated to the emperor.
Is it really as you said that it is beautiful?
The county magistrate suddenly had an idea and frowned and pondered for a moment. Now, everything is based on peace and nothing, and it must be done properly... In this way, you go to the county to use the following text, take some servants to Taojiazhuang to recruit a group of women, and use the excuse to cook for the people who built the city walls, and recruit a group of people to recruit the "women in the clothes" as well. This will be reasonable.When the matter is over, we will compensate his husband's family for some land and money, scare him and he will be fine.
The staff agreed happily: Ming Gong thought carefully.
The county magistrate smiled again and said: "Please" when you come here, you must treat each other with courtesy and do not neglect it.If you really like it now and want to take it back to the palace to pamper it, you will have to give your family a generous gift. Maybe the woman still remembers our contributions.
The staff also smiled and said: It’s not impossible, what Ming Gong said is extremely true.
But Xue Chongxun could not stay here for only three days, precisely because no one disturbed him.
This feeling is very strange. Just like when he was absent from school in the past, he always felt very uneasy. Of course, he remembered that he was a qualified and good student when he was a student.
