Chen Zhuangshi was led by the palace people to Chang'an Palace.
He had just come out of Xingqing Palace, and he was still thinking about the deep meaning of what His Majesty said to him.
If you haven't figured it out yet, or don't dare to think about it, you've already arrived at Chang'an Palace.
After being notified, he finally stepped into the gate of Chang'an Palace.
The scenery here is different from other places in the palace.
The layout is also very different.
He looked very novel, looking around unabashedly. It made the palace people look sideways frequently.
Outside the study, Xu Yousi said to Chen Zhuangshi: "The empress is inside, General Chen can go in directly."
"Thank you, Eunuch Xu."
Chen Zhuang really understands the rules in the palace. This time when he entered the palace, he had prepared twenty or thirty purses. More than half of it has been spilled.
At this moment, another purse embroidered with gold thread naturally fell into Xu Yousi's hands.
Xu Yousi tucked it into his sleeve, without changing his eyebrows or eyes the whole time.
Seeing that the other party took the purse, Chen Zhuangshi stepped into the palace gate with confidence.
"My minister sees the empress empress, my empress is blessed and safe!"
Walking into the study, Chen Zhuangshi said hello loudly enough.
"Free gift!"
Gu Jiu sat on the soft bed and motioned for Chen Zhuangshi to also sit down and talk.
"Thank you, ma'am!" Chen Zhuangshi carefully sat down on the round stool.
As if chatting about family matters, Gu Jiu asked casually, "How does it feel to be back in the capital?"
Chen Zhuangshi smiled and said: "Very good! It's better than the Northwest, and you don't need to eat sand. The only bad thing is that there is no battle."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Has the capital changed a lot?"
"It has changed a lot! In the past few days, Wei Chen visited the Imperial College, the Military Academy, and went to the Zhixing Academy to attend a few classes, and I felt deeply. The empress is amazing, so generously supporting the establishment of the academy, so that students, rich or poor, can learn a lot. Reading books for free is a great cause for thousands of years!"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Stop flattering! There is no shortage of flattering people around me."
"Weichen is definitely not flattering, Weichen really thinks so, and every word he says is sincere."
Chen Zhuangshi looked sincere.
Gu Jiu waved his hand, telling him to stop talking nonsense, "Say something useful."
Chen Zhuangshi chuckled, "Maybe, can you arrange an errand for Weichen that can fight?"
Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, "This sentence is the truth, I can tell the truth. Is that why you want to fight?"
Chen Zhuang said seriously: "To tell you the truth, I came from a humble background. If Shanhe Academy hadn't been able to study for free and get scholarships, I would not have come to the capital, and my fate would have been completely rewritten. In terms of reading I can't do it. It's my luck to barely get the honor of a scholar. I can only get up by fighting.
If I don't fight, I'm not qualified to compete with the noble sons, civil servants and military generals. Only by fighting can we have the opportunity to climb to the top and make our Chen family a big family that everyone pays attention to. The children in the family can study if they want to study, and practice martial arts if they want to. They don't have to worry about money, and they don't have to study as hard as I did back then. "
It's all true.
The palace people were all dumbfounded, is it really okay to just tell the truth
The heart of fame and wealth is fully manifested, is this really good
Gu Jiu laughed, "Back then, I knew that you were a very ambitious person, and also an ordinary person who wholeheartedly pursued fame and fortune. Fortunately, although you are vulgar, you have a bottom line in doing things. These years, I have watched your performance , barely qualified.”
"Did you just pass?" Chen Zhuangshi felt that he was doing very well, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of the empress, he was just passing.
Heartbroken!
Gu Jiu smiled, "According to my requirements, it is not an easy task to pass the qualification. You don't have to worry about the eligibility criteria. If this palace asks you to lead troops in the Beijing Camp or go to the Military Academy Bring students, would you like to?"
Chen Zhuangshi looked embarrassed, "In front of the empress, I can only tell the truth. I don't want to go to the capital camp, and I don't want to go to the military academy."
Gu Jiu was curious, "It's understandable if you don't go to the Beijing Camp. I can't understand if you don't go to the military academy. You know, after graduation, the students of the military academy will be the backbone of each army. If you go to the military academy to be an instructor, you will be able to do so in the future." Your students are all over the major military camps, and you are not happy? You must know that many people want to go to the military academy as instructors. However, only those who have made military exploits and those who have experience in leading troops in battle are missing one of the two. No one is eligible to enter the military academy as an instructor."
Chen Zhuangshi thought for a while, and said: "It's not that I don't know what is good or bad. My mother is wholeheartedly planning for Weichen, and I feel deeply. However, I know the limit of my ability and what I am good at. Let Weichen teach A group of student soldiers have been trapped in the academy all year round. With Weichen's temperament of making troubles, I'm afraid they will suffocate to death. Weichen wants to fight for a few more years while he is young and strong. When he is old and can't go to the battlefield , maybe I will consider entering a military academy to take care of students and take care of the elderly by the way."
hehe!
These words are straightforward enough, honest enough, and of course annoying enough.
Gu Jiu made a serious face on purpose, "A military academy is not a place for retirement, don't make a mistake."
"If the military academy can't provide for the elderly, then the humble minister will go home directly to provide for the elderly."
Chen Zhuangshi laughed, looking heartless.
Gu Jiu snorted, "Go back and wait for the news!"
Huh
This is the end
Stop chatting for a while
Where exactly is his errand, has not yet said.
He hesitated, hesitated to speak.
Gu Jiu smiled, "What else is there for Chen Aiqing?"
"No, it's all right!"
Chen Zhuangshi immediately faltered, got up and left.
When he walked to the door, the empress's voice sounded behind him.
"If you have time, it won't hurt to read more materials on the south side."
Chen Zhuangshi was surprised at first, and then overjoyed, "Okay! I obey the order, and I will go to Lantai Temple after leaving the palace."
He left happily, and the errand was ready.
Go south to fight, hahaha...
Call Yan Ci tonight, Wang Xuecheng, the three of them will not return until they are drunk.
…
Sure enough, a few days later, Chen Zhuangshi received an order to go overseas to report.
"Now, it's great to be able to fight side by side with Brother Yang again! With Brother Yang leading me, I have a chance to live forever!"
Chen Zhuangshi was triumphant, and he made no secret of his excitement.
Yan Ci and Wang Xuecheng wish him a smooth journey
"Are you going by land? Or by water?"
"Of course it's by water! Since I'm going overseas for a camp, I have to take this opportunity to practice water skills. Learning one more skill will always come in handy."
"Brother Chen's words are justified. When writing a book recently, I also have a feeling that my knowledge is not enough to support the content of the writing. The more I write, the more I realize that I lack a lot of knowledge. When I finish writing the book at hand, I have to retreat and add something Knowledge."
"Brother Yan has this awareness, very good!"
Wang Xuecheng sighed quietly, "Among us, I am the only one who is the least motivated. I am very satisfied with my life now, and I don't want to study at all."
"I understand Brother Wang! Studying is really hard." Chen Zhuangshi patted Wang Xuecheng on the shoulder with sympathy.
"Without the pressure of the imperial examination, I don't even want to look through the books." Wang Xuecheng said again.
Chen Zhuangshi laughed, "It's the same! But for the sake of my future, I still have to bite the bullet and flip through the book every day, depending on how many pages I can read."
"Brother Chen is right. Brother Wang should also pick up the book and read a few pages every day." Yan Ci said with great emotion.
When the book is in use, I hate less.
When all kinds of subjects have been written, if you want to make a breakthrough, you need a huge amount of knowledge reserves.
Yan Ci clearly felt that he had reached a bottleneck. What he has learned in the past is no longer enough to support him to continue on the road of writing novels.
If you want to enjoy writing novels for the rest of your life, you have to stop to supplement your knowledge.
Or just sink into it and eat your laurels.
Either concentrate on precipitation and soar into the sky.
Yan Ci wants to soar into the sky.
After sending off Chen Zhuangshi, Yan Ci plunged into the archives, into the Lantai Temple, into the library of Wenqing Bookstore.
He even re-takes the entrance examination of Shanhe Academy, intending to return to the academy for further studies.
After only taking the exam twice, he was admitted to Shanhe Academy.
Except for the imperial examination, he studied every subject very seriously.
Wang Xuecheng was infected by him, and he also picked up books after work. After reading a few pages every day, I feel calmer and less impetuous.
…
Time passed little by little.
Chen Zhuangshi went to camp overseas and met Yang Ji.
When brothers meet, they are very affectionate.
Yang Ji patted him on the shoulder, "You have come. In the next month, I will guide you to familiarize yourself with the situation here and interview key people. One month later, you will be the chief executive of the overseas camp."
Huh
How could he not understand the meaning of these words.
Chen Zhuangshi was stunned!
Yang Ji laughed and took out the letter of appointment.
"The imperial court's letter of appointment appoints you as the deputy head of the overseas camp to take charge of the work of the overseas camp. As for me, I will return to the capital to return to my command."
"You are gone, who will be the chief executive?"
"You! The premise is that you can work for one full year in the position of deputy chief executive. If you do well, you will be promoted to chief executive after one year. If you don't do well, the court will send another person to be the chief executive. At that time, you, the deputy chief It will be miserable."
Chen Zhuangshi was caught blind for a year, "I have the confidence to do the job of the chief executive well. I'm just confused. Why didn't I hear the news when I was in the capital? Your Majesty transferred you back to the capital. When did this happen?"
Yang Ji explained to him, "Three days after you left Beijing, His Majesty issued a decree to revoke the governor's office in the south of the Yangtze River and call me back to the capital to return to my command. At the same time, I appointed you as the deputy director of the camp. The decree and the letter of appointment came before you. Overseas camp."
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty actually hid such a trick. I'm such a pig brain. There are so many hints, but I can't guess it."
Chen Zhuangshi patted his head.
Yang Ji was worried that he would be fooled, so he stopped him quickly.
"Time is limited, I'll pick you up another day. Pack up and follow me right away."
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the port!"
Chen Zhuangshi had just arrived overseas for camping, and before he came to take a quick breath, he began to live a busy life.
There is not even time for acclimatization!
Yang Ji completely treats him like an animal.
Chen Zhuangshi secretly made up his mind that he would treat his subordinates as livestock in the future.
