When the King of Han summoned the envoy of Si, officials such as Cao Long, the commander-in-chief of the Chief Secretary Zhao Nan also participated.When leaving the Han Palace, Zhu Gaoxu casually called Duan Xuehen, the close servant beside him, to see him off.
Several people came to Duanli Gate Tower, and Cao Long clasped his fists and said: Miss Duan, stay.
Duan Xuehen was a little surprised after hearing this. She almost didn't say anything in front of the people. She was also a person with the same decorations when standing in the hall, but how did this official know her name?
After a while, Duan Xuehen remembered that when the King of Han ordered her to see her off, he called her name softly.
Duan Xueheng thought to himself: These officials not only have smart ears, but also have a good memory.
But the performance of the Chief Secretary Zhao Senator made Duan Xuehen even more surprised.
Senator Zhao bent over and said with a flattering look on his face: Miss Duan, don’t send it out again. The sun in Yunnan is strong, and you will be burned in a while.
Duan Xueheng's head tilted slightly, and he looked at Senator Zhao for a moment of thought.She hesitated for a moment and had to hold her fists and return the greeting, saying: Go slowly.
Senator Zhao quickly bent down and returned the gift to worship again: Miss Duan is too polite, so the official said goodbye, farewell.
Duan Xuehen watched them walk out of the gatehouse, turned around silently, and still walked into the palace.At this moment, the eunuch Wang Gui stood inside with a smile.
Eunuch Wang.Duan Xue was speechless, but she also greeted her when she met an acquaintance.
Wang Gui sighed blindly: The man in red clothes just now was the commander-in-chief of Yunnan, and the other was the right senator of the governor!On the ground in Yunnan, except for nobles, they are the most powerful officials.
Duan Xuehen didn't say anything.
Wang Gui suddenly asked in a deep voice: How did Miss Duan feel when she saw Daguan Xiangui bent down in front of her?
Duan Xueheng said: They were not worshipping me, but the prince in the hall.
After hearing this, Wang Gui laughed haha.
Duan Xueheng looked at him. She actually didn't hate this burly eunuch; although the eunuch was laughing at her, Duan Xueheng keenly realized that he had no malice.
...The prisoners of Zhao Ping and others are still locked in the corridor inside the Duanli Gate of the Han Palace.As soon as they were taken to Kunming City, they were locked up.
He wore anklets and stayed in the windowless dark room for three days and three nights.
At this time, the door opened, but the person who walked in was the little girl Diao Ya with black and yellow skin, which was really unexpected.
Why did Miss Diao Ya come?Zhao Ping asked with his eyes narrowed, the dazzling light outside the door made his eyes uncomfortable.
A Han official brought me here and asked some questions.I found out that General Zhao was still locked up and begged them to let me see you.Diao Ya's Chinese accent is still very weird, and it may be difficult to change.
Zhao Ping couldn't help but sigh: Unexpectedly, my colleagues whom I made in Meng Yangsi still remembered me.
At this time, he moved for a moment, and the anklet made a rustling sound.
Diao Ya said with a worried look: Is General Zhao really going to be punished for serious crimes?
Zhao Ping frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: Since he was not thrown into prison, he was just imprisoned in the Han Palace, he would be punished for death.
Diao Ya hurriedly asked: What kind of sin would that be?
Zhao Ping shook his head and smiled: Miss Diao Ya, don’t worry, I guess nothing is wrong. In the Ming Dynasty, although the law was strict, it was also sympathetic.
Diao Ya's face showed a relieved expression.
Zhao Ping is telling the truth, not to comfort this little girl.
He remembered that the things that the King of Han told him to do in the past, and that only his confidant could do. Since this is the case, the King of Han must have made gratitude in his sympathy.
Zhao Ping thought about it for a long time and had already concluded that he would not die as long as he returned to Kunming City.
But he still couldn't be happy because he was worried about his future.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the law has been a law, not completely false; Zhao Ping lost his city and lost his territory, became a prisoner, and if he violated the military law, he would be a law to be merciless, and it would be difficult to get promoted in the future, and the old accounts would be brought out by the military generals to say.
Zhao Ping abandoned his pen and joined the army, and started with a groom. His future and life are equally important to him!
Diao Ya didn't seem to understand what he was thinking. When she heard that Zhao Ping was fine, her tone became lighter: I had heard before that the Ming Dynasty and Kunming City were so good, and I learned Chinese since I was a child.This is my first time in Kunming City. It’s really big, and the Han Palace, which is even more beautiful than the Heavenly Palace and Moon Palace that the clan elders talk about!
Zhao Ping just listened, because he was depressed and had no interest in bragging in front of a barbarian girl.
Diao Ya asked excitedly: Kunming City is full of houses and streets are full of people. Everyone is dressed cleanly, neither hunting nor farming. Where does the food come from to supply so many people?
Zhao Ping replied casually: There are military and civilians who have farming and food.As long as the people have money, they can buy food, and the people in the city do not need to farm themselves.
Diao Ya kept asking questions. She, a chieftain, was also among the officials, but she asked ridiculous questions, as if she had transformed into a little girl.
Zhao Ping was already a little impatient to answer, but for her friendship, he endured it.
Or Diao Ya has been speaking Chinese for a while, and now she speaks very smoothly. People often bow on the streets, and Han people are really polite.It was clean everywhere, no one was riding horses and showing off with weapons...
Zhao Ping was speechless because what Diao Ya said was taken for granted in his opinion.
In every city in the Ming Dynasty, except for the official army and scholars who were famous, ordinary people were not allowed to carry weapons at all. How could anyone hold weapons on the streets and sing their teeth and claws?
Diao Ya continued: On the Tushi side, people who are too gentle and peaceful will be bullied, and everyone respects men with strong martial arts.All the Han people were polite and humble, but General Zhao had only more than 100 people, and he could fight dozens of times the chieftains. It was so amazing!If General Zhao was a chieftain, he would not only not be punished, but would definitely become a hero.
Zhao Ping responded absent-mindedly: Fighting is not a competition, it is useless to just fight for strength and ruthlessness.
Diao Ya is a young girl. Although her skin is a little dark, her eyes are getting brighter and brighter at this time. I have seen men pulling carts and working on the streets these days, and young women are dressed very beautifully.The Han women are doing really well...
Zhao Ping said: Miss Diao Ya has only been to Kunming for a few days, and all you see is face.
But Diao Ya didn't seem to listen to this sentence, and she suddenly asked: Is the Ming Dynasty's capital really better than Kunming City?
Zhao Ping nodded and said: The world's wealth is gathered in the capital, and its wealth is of course not comparable to that of the border prefectures.
Diao Ya asked: How can I go to the capital?
Zhao Ping thought for a while and said: Miss Diao Ya is a native of Tengchong. If the native of Diao family wants to go to Beijing to pay tribute, Miss Diao Ya can go with her.
At this moment, the door opened again and a young civil servant walked to the door.When Zhao Ping saw this, he recognized that this person was Li Mo, the right chief of the Han Palace.Zhao Ping immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said: Meet Li Changshi.
Li Mo waved his hand and opened the chain for Zhao Baihu.
A soldier walked in and opened Zhao Ping's ankle with the copper key.Zhao Ping immediately took a few steps to move.
Li Mo said with a smile: Congratulations to Zhao Baihu, you can leave now.The prince ordered this morning to ask the Chief's Mansion to amend the military law of the guards.From now on, all soldiers who do their best will fail to win or be guilty; those who are allowed to surrender or be captured when they are unable to fight again, and those who do not sell out the virtual and real military status will be guilty.
When Zhao Ping heard this, he looked moved and thought to himself: Did the King of Han actually modify the military law for the sake of the captured few soldiers?!
Although Zhao Ping knew that he would be released sooner or later, he was released from acquitted by justice, which would certainly save him a little more face.
He hurriedly clasped his fists and said: I am grateful to the prince for his kindness, thank you for your care.
Li Mo waved his hand and said: This official is just a message, Zhao Baihu please stop.
Diao Ya said with a smile: Congratulations to General Zhao.
Zhao Ping walked out of the dark room and let out a long sigh.He did not rush home, but walked out of Chengyun Hall first. On the wide brick floor, he still knelt on one knee on the ground and held a tribute to the majestic hall for a long time.
Diao Ya kept following him, not knowing what she was going to do. She looked at Zhao Ping curiously, then looked up at the towering double-eaved palace standing under the blue sky and white clouds.
After a long time, an eunuch holding a whisk came here with a small step.
The eunuch avoided Zhao Ping's kneeling, walked to his side, bent down and said: Zhao Baihu, the prince told us to ask you to meet in the study.The prince said that he wanted to wait for you to rest for two days, but since Zhao Baihu came to the front hall, he would go to the study to talk.
Zhao Ping stood up and said: The last one will obey the order.
The eunuch glanced at Diao Ya and said: Are you a native of the Diao family in Tengchong?Please ask Miss Diao to rest in the tent.
Diao Ya nodded and pointed to the south and said: General Zhao has finished his business, you can come to me. I have lived in a big house there before.
Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said: Thank you Miss Diao Ya for your invitation. I will come and visit you on a date.
The study room on the east side of Chengyun Hall is not far away.The eunuch took Zhao Ping all the way and arrived soon.
In addition to the Han King sitting behind the table, there were also three generals of the guard commander Wang Bin, Wei Da and Liu Ying in the study.
Zhao Ping walked in and immediately knelt on one knee to thank him. Zhu Gaoxu said: No gift.You are outnumbered and strive to defend the village, there is nothing wrong with you.I have ordered the Chief Secretary’s Mansion to provide pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers as soon as possible.
When Zhao Ping thanked him and stood up, Zhu Gaoxu looked around and said readily, Zhao Ping had already tried his best. Even if he did not change the military law, he was mine, what could he do?
Several generals immediately laughed out loud.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: I have long felt that many military laws are written too heavily, but they will not be killed at any time if they are actually implemented. What is the use of such military laws? They are just to scare people.Everyone has seen the scene, who was scared?
Haha... Zhao Ping also laughed with several generals.The melancholy that had been blocking his heart a while ago suddenly spit out all of it in laughter like a breath.
Several people came to Duanli Gate Tower, and Cao Long clasped his fists and said: Miss Duan, stay.
Duan Xuehen was a little surprised after hearing this. She almost didn't say anything in front of the people. She was also a person with the same decorations when standing in the hall, but how did this official know her name?
