Zhu Pingan guided Marquis Linhuai and Duke Wei into the camp and expressed his gratitude for their visit and material support.
Of course, Zhu Pingan was still surprised in his heart about their arrival.
“Hehe, Xian Nephew doesn’t need to thank us, it should be us thanking you.”Marquis Linhuai smiled and spoke.
“Ah?”Zhu Pingan could not help but be stunned.
“The last time the Zhenwu Camp mutiny happened, thanks to Zi Hou, we escaped this great calamity ……”Duke Wei explained, “That’s why we came today to thank Zi Hou.”
“The outcome of the treatment has been finalised, and the official official document will be in the next two days, I’ll speak with you specifically later.”Marquis Linhuai added.
It turned out to be the matter of the last Zhenwu camp mutiny, the results of the processing from above had come down, Zhu Pingan came to a sudden realisation.
Zhu Pingan guided the two to the marquee tent, while Duke Wei and Marquis Lin Huai walked, they casually observed.
Clean, neat and orderly, this was their first impression of the Zhejun military camp.
The soldiers were well disciplined, there were no phenomena such as randomly walking around the camp or gathering people to play, they were all drilling seriously.
However, seeing the items that the soldiers were drilling, Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai couldn’t help but stare in disbelief.
Stand at attention, at ease, march in unison, turn left, turn right ……These modern ways of practice, in the eyes of the Duke of Wei and Marquis Linhuai, but it seems to be like monkeys, especially to the left and right, it’s almost like seeing the scene of monkeys.
“Xian nephew, this way of training troops is really unheard of ……Do you want us to send a few military instructors over.”Wei Guo Gong did not say very straightforward, but the meaning has been revealed very clearly.
What are you practicing ah, you don’t know how to practice army is not it, we send a few military horse instructors over to help you practice army ……
“Thank you uncle, it is not necessary for the time being.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and thanked the Duke of Wei for his good intentions.
“Xian nephew, we have been in the military for most of our lives, we have never seen your method of practice, there is practice in infantry combat, horse combat, water combat, infantry archery, cavalry archery, whips, swords, guns, cannons and rattan card martial arts, as well as cannons, artillery firing techniques, but what is this kind of training that you do, what is called standing at attention and marching in unison, so called what is it?”
Seeing that Zhu Pingan had declined the Duke of Wei’s goodwill, Marquis Linhuai could not help but speak out again to remind Zhu Pingan.
“Back to uncle, this is formation training, one of the training programmes of the Zhejian Army, in order to train the soldiers in obedience and discipline, that is, the order to do what is forbidden, so that they engrave in their bones the ‘generals take obedience to orders as their vocation’.”
Zhu Pingan explained.
Hearing Zhu Pingan say that the formation training was just one of the training programmes, Marquis Linhuai slightly relaxed some of his heart.
It was just one of the training programmes, Zi Hou could drum up whatever he wanted. As for Zhu Pingan’s comment about training soldiers’ obedience and discipline through this monkey-like formation training, Marquis Linhuai and Duke Wei were not impressed.
Handsome tent is located in the centre of the barracks, Zhu Pingan guided the two into the tent and poured two cups of tea for them.
The two of them held the cup of tea and surveyed Zhu Pingan’s marquee, simple, really simple, only a bed, a cabinet, a table and two rows of chairs.
“Xian nephew, this is too much for you, I will send you a set of furnishings some other day.”Marquis Linhuai lamented.
“Ping An thanks uncle for his kind words, such furnishings are already enough.”Zhu Pingan politely refused Marquis Lin Huai’s kind intentions.
Marquis Linhuai mentioned it once more, and seeing Zhu Pingan’s insistence, he had no choice but to give up.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai got to the point and told Zhu Pingan the results of the Zhenwu Battalion mutiny.
“Xian nephew, you are unaware of how serious this time is. The right minister of the household department’s supervisory reserve, Huang Mao, was all killed in the mutiny, and afterwards, he was also held accountable and was posthumously dismissed from his official position by His Holiness!”Duke Wei lamented.
Generally speaking, are preaching the dead for the great, although the deceased had faults in life, but people are also more than not pursued after death.
This time is different, Huang Mou official died, but also was posthumously dismissed from his official position. Of course, this is also his own fault.
“The original Yingtian Household Department Secretary Ma Kun Ma Ta-Jin, how much effort, how many relationships, how many doors, it was not easy to transfer to the capital as the Household Department Secretary, this ass has not yet sat down hot it. As a result, because he was in Yingtian household department secretary on the term to reduce the folding colour silver to zero point four two, and now be held responsible for provoking the Nanjing Zhenwu camp mutiny thing was dismissed from the official position!”Wei Guo Gong lamented.
“And Cai Keqin Cai big man is poor, only this year transferred to Yingtian household minister, just took office on a disease, can not see Yingtian household matters, has been at home to recuperate, the other day I heard that Cai adults recovered from the disease, was about to take office, the result is because of Zhenwu battalion mutiny, was implicated in impeachment of the loss of the official position.”
Marquis Linhuai also couldn’t help but sigh.
Er, this is really a person sitting at home, the pot from the sky, but who let you now is Yingtian household department minister.
“Xian nephew, every time I think back can not help but a cold sweat, if not there is Xian nephew, even if we are lucky in the mutiny to pick up a life, but after the fact, I, old Li and He Gonggong certainly to be heavily punished, according to the strength of this pursuit of responsibility, dismissal and loss of office are light, prison is inevitable, or perhaps will be killed it.”
Wei Guo Gong until now, still fearful.
“Uncle is too serious.”Zhu Pingan humbled himself and then asked, “I wonder how uncle fathers are doing?”
“Thanks to virtuous nephew, the saint just verbally reprimanded me, allowed me to pay for my sins, appointed me as before, the official position remains unchanged.”
Duke Wei smiled and said, grateful. Yingtian household department two ministers were implicated in the loss of office, and he Wei Guo Gong in charge of Zhenwu camp, the results of Zhenwu camp mutiny, he can keep his official position, has been dreaming of a good ending.
“Old Li luck is good, listen to the exact news that, due to help quell Zhenwu camp mutiny meritorious, his position can be moved up a move ……”Duke Wei pointed to Marquis Lin Huai, not without envy said.
“Ahem ……It’s all thanks to the blessing of Xian Nephew.”Marquis Lin Huai had a happy face, his mouth couldn’t close.
“Where is Eunuch He?”Zhu Pingan asked again.
“Eunuch He was also verbally reprimanded, the official position remains unchanged, the inner court also remembered a merit ……Oh, I almost forgot, today Eunuch He had something temporary that he couldn’t come, and asked us to send a set of protective soft armour as a token of appreciation.”
Duke Wei said, took an exquisite wooden box from his attendant, opened it and placed it in front of Zhu Pingan.
Inside the wooden box was placed a set of exquisite protective soft armour, which was worth a lot at a glance.
“Eunuch He said that this set of soft armour is invulnerable to swords and spears, and water and fire, so I think what he said should be true.”Duke Wei said.
“Xian nephew this is Eunuch He thanking you, don’t excuse yourself, just accept it. Otherwise, Eunuch He still thinks that you dislike it.”Marquis Lin Huai smiled and said.
“In that case, then I’ll take it with a grain of salt.”Zhu Pingan readily accepted the good advice and accepted the set of protective soft armour.
“Oh yes, virtuous nephew also made a merit in this mutiny, and the saint specially commended you.”Marquis Lin Huai added.
Special commendation?
Zhu Pingan got to this point and instantly became excited, this was a special commendation from Emperor Jiajing.
“What special commendation?”Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but ask, promotion, or wealth?
“The imperial gift of a fragrant leaf crown.”Marquis Linhuai and Duke Wei said without envy, “This is made by the hand of the Holy Spirit, Xian nephew is really Jane in the heart of the emperor ah ……”
Zhu Pingan heard the words, petrified on the spot, from the clouds fell into the mud pond, a face of wanting to cry without tears ……
Fragrant leaf crown!!! What kind of special commendation is this! Also, is Emperor Jiajing forgetful! When he was first appointed to the Cabinet of Ministers, Emperor Jiajing rewarded himself with a crown of fragrant leaves, and was also ridiculed by the painting of the green hat. ……
