Li Jinyu searched for a long time in the excerpt and found the excerpt that the black cat said asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to present.He picked it up and looked at it, felt that there was no problem, raised his head and looked at Huo Caiyu, and was a little puzzled: Huo Aiqing, why didn't this fold be approved?
Huo Caiyu glanced at it: This is presented by the Ministry of Rites, and he wants to adjust the travel rules of military generals and soldiers.The officials and generals of the Di Dynasty had proper rules for traveling, and even down to the color of the shoes and socks to wear, and the jade pendant hanging from the belt; Generals do not wear court clothes, and need to wear half armor to travel, in order to show that they do not forget the blood of the soldiers.Fortunately, the officers were made of fine iron and were very heavy, and it was a torture in the middle of summer.A veteran general who had served in the military department and had not been on the battlefield for many years fainted from heat stroke in the middle of summer.This time, the excerpt on the Ministry of Rites is to modify this rule, and generals can also wear court clothes to go out, and it can be easier in midsummer.Li Jinyu saw the heavy armor on General Meng's body, and felt deep sympathy: the weather is so hot, and the generals are too hard.This rule was originally left over from the Taizu period, when the Ogi Dynasty was not stable, and there were often wars and assassinations, and the order for the generals to wear half armor was also to encourage the generals to remember their hearts and protect the court.Huo Caiyu explained, Midsummer is indeed a little difficult.When his father, General Huo, was still there, he abided by the rules of the imperial court, and he had to wear half armor when he traveled seriously.The young Huo Caiyu followed his father and could see the sweat flowing from his father's body.But it was also his father who taught him this, saying that military generals should not be greedy for pleasure, and always keep in mind the mission of protecting their families and defending the country.The military attache is a general, and the lack of a sedan chair is also to maintain the martial ambition of the generals.Huo Caiyu is both civil and military, but due to the influence of his father, he will unconsciously demand himself with the specifications of a military general, and he has always ridden a horse instead of a sedan chair.The last time I went to Qingshui County, His Majesty personally picked the car, and there were many things to bring, so Huo Caiyu brought the carriage.As for Banjia, he has not received a military rank so far, and the court has not given him armor, so he can only travel in court clothes.Li Jinyu looked at the perseverance on Huo Caiyu's face, and a wave of admiration spontaneously appeared in his heart.The Ogi Dynasty has guarded peace and tranquility from generation to generation by these generals who were born in sorrow and died in peace.However, moved to be moved, Li Jinyu still felt that it was too difficult for the generals to wear such a heavy semi-armor in the middle of summer.Not to mention the requirements of the black cat.I think this rule could be adjusted.Li Jinyu put down the fold and proposed, how about arranging summer clothes for the generals?
Huo Caiyu was slightly stunned: Summer clothes?
I've seen those half-armors, they're very heavy, and they're covered with felt, and it's too hot in the summer, so why don't you copy the style and make it lighter and more breathable?
Li Jinyu's original intention was to let the generals wear light and breathable semi-armor to go out in summer, but Huo Caiyu's expression became serious when he heard it: What Your Majesty said is very true, the military armor of our dynasty is indeed too heavy.In the past, the war in the southwest was stalemate, because the local climate was too humid and hot, and it was difficult for our soldiers of the Ogi Dynasty to adapt.Otherwise, with General Meng's ability, he shouldn't have fought for so long before coming back.Li Jinyu didn't know how Huo Caiyu could associate that aspect, but when he heard it, he felt that it was not too far from his goal, so he didn't refute it, and nodded: What Huo Aiqing said is.Although Huo Caiyu started to ascend to the officialdom from the household department and the official department, he has a very high sense of belonging to the army, and he is interested in mentioning the improvement of the armor: Your Majesty can you have a strategy for improvement?
Li Jinyu is just an ordinary little hamster, and naturally he doesn't know how to improve his armor.Fortunately, he has read the original book and knows that there is a craftsman who specializes in iron armor in the original book, because of the persecution of his family by the imperial court, he joined Huo Caiyu's army in a fit of anger, and researched a large number of light armor for Huo Caiyu's forces, which is better than Di Chao in terms of armament.Now that the world line has been turned into a situation that he doesn't know where to run, Li Jinyu doesn't know what the craftsman's situation is now.But always give it a try.I know someone who might be able to help.The craftsman's surname was Dong, his name was Dong Jixiang, and he was unexpectedly very young, only in his early thirties.In the original book, he was the father of the later New Dynasty armor, and contributed countless novel armor and weapons to the Ogi Dynasty.It's just that Li Jinyu only knows one name, and his specific appearance and address can't be said, so he can only rely on Huo Caiyu to send someone to find it.Huo Caiyu did not despise His Majesty because he suddenly and firmly described a person he had never heard of, and after carefully recording the instructions, he raised his head and said: Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the market recently, and the rumors have been somewhat unfavorable to us, and Your Majesty needs to personally go out to solve them.Li Jinyu knew about the counterattack of the Prime Minister's faction, and nodded: I am ready.Huo Caiyu said that His Majesty needed to personally go out and walk around the capital, and he would arrange the rest.Li Jinyu originally planned to go out directly, but when he turned around, he saw Tang Yuan lying in the cage, and he didn't gnaw on the melon seeds, looking at him with blank eyes.His heart softened: This little junior has been born for so long, he must have never gone out to play, so it is better to take him out to see the capital.This little guy doesn't seem to be the same breed as himself, he is not afraid of life, he is not afraid of cats, and he must not be afraid of going out on the street.Li Jinyu held the cage of the rice balls, and the hourglass in the other hand, ready to go.Huo Caiyu looked at it and felt that Li Jinyu's hands were very busy, so he persuaded him: Your Majesty, you might as well put your things down.Li Jinyu refused: I want to take the glutinous rice balls and the hourglass together.Tangyuan is his gift to his juniors, and the hourglass can remind him at any time when the spell to cover his ears will fail, how can he give up!
Huo Caiyu thought for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand: That minister will help His Majesty change it.Bearing the internal force, he easily twisted the iron wire, embedded the hourglass into the hamster cage, and deliberately made a small mechanism to turn the hourglass upside down without turning the hamster cage.Li Jinyu tried it and was very satisfied that in this way, he could hold the rice balls anytime and anywhere, and he could also borrow the rice balls to see the time!
Your Majesty's royal outing!
This news was like wings and quickly flew all over the streets and alleys of the capital.Today, the saint is a very topical person in the hearts of the people.It was rumored that the palace was a man-eating cave, and few of the palace maids who entered the palace could come out alive; Later, the rumors became more and more exaggerated, and rumors of His Majesty eating people's hearts and drinking human blood came out.In the past, the emperor was talked about by the people like this, not to mention that he was furious and must have been very displeased, and the guards acted with him, and the people did not dare to say more.However, today's saints never care about the folk gossip, and the people talk about it, and the guards don't care about it, which further fuels the heat of the people's discussions.However, after the beginning of spring this year, the emperor, who seemed to have no merit at all, suddenly changed.Push new taxes, sweep the imperial examination, and eliminate maladministration.Even those who are no longer sensitive to the imperial court and resist it have to admit that with His Majesty's implementation of the new policy several times, the government and the opposition seem to have a new brilliance.His Majesty's reputation is also quietly improving.As a result, the people's curiosity about the present day has become even stronger.Those who have seen His Majesty before have only caught a glimpse of the dragon chariot from a distance at the Ogihua Festival, and the tassel on the top of the dragon chariot is hanging down, and no one can see it clearly.Now Your Majesty is actually visiting the capital?
In ordinary times, it is a great gift to see Long Yan, how can there be a chance for ordinary people to meet His Majesty!
Except for the things at hand that they couldn't let go, the others curiously gathered on the trajectory of His Majesty's dragon chariot, tilting their heads and waiting for His Majesty's arrival.The dragon chariot quickly marched forward, and the people raised their necks and squeezed forward, and finally saw His Majesty in the dragon chariot clearly.This time, the top cover had removed the long tassels, and those who got close could easily see a young man in the dragon chariot who seemed to be not yet the crown, with a handsome face, long ink-colored hair behind the gilt crown of Pingtian, and the wide cuffs of the black and gold-patterned dragon robe lined his figure more and more delicately.The young man was holding a small cage in his arms, and he didn't know what kind of little pet was in it, and he was talking patiently to the little pet with his head down, his lips curved like the moon, and his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.The eyes of the people who saw clearly widened.Their Majesty is so good-looking, who said before that Your Majesty has eyes like copper bells and a bloody mouth?
They've never seen anyone so good-looking!
People are born with pity for good things.In the face of His Majesty's handsome face, even those who have malicious intentions towards the imperial court, the hostility in their hearts has been somewhat restrained.The people were silent, and when the dragon chariot passed, it was like turning on a switch and discussing it babblingly.It's just that this time they are not arguing about the truth of those rumors, but discussing how blessed Your Majesty should be if he is so good-looking.chatting and chatting, someone suddenly mentioned it: Speaking of which, didn't you say a while ago that Tanhualang was a servant of the king, so he changed to the position of Tanhua?
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, have you seen Tanhualang parade on the street, how does Tanhualang look?
Can it be compared to Your Majesty?
The little woman thought about it for a while, and shook her head regretfully: That Xu Tanhua looks really good, but compared with our majesty, it is far behind.No, I think so.In front of Your Majesty, does Xu Tanhua really have the face to propose to serve the king in Israel?
Who will suffer from this, I can't say for sure!
Everyone laughed again.A few people in the crowd who deliberately guided the topic nodded secretly, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts: the task assigned by the regent had been successfully completed.The same topic is being said elsewhere.The crisis of public opinion that made the people of the University doubt the fairness of the imperial examination was so easily broken by Li Jinyu's visit to the capital.Even if a scholar who is not convinced, after seeing His Majesty's holy face, he has to admit that Xu Tanhua's appearance is really incomparable with His Majesty.Your Majesty can't find what kind of beauty she can't find, pamper Xu Tanhua, not to mention whether she breaks the rules of the imperial examination, even if she doesn't give Xu Tanhua any benefits, it is Your Majesty who suffers!
All of a sudden, there were not many bad words accusing the whole capital of fraud in the imperial examination, and all of them were discussing His Majesty's prosperous beauty with great interest.However, a few literati came to the inspiration and wrote the story of Tanhualang Jin Luan's love at first sight, the secret promise of the Holy Son of Heaven and the heart of the green dragon, and it was even sought after by a lot.Huo Caiyu, who washed away the stigma for His Majesty in one breath and dismantled the relationship between Xu Tanhua and His Majesty, heard the news, and was so angry that he had a cold face in the court for several days.If you don't know the inside story, you think it's the prime minister's faction that has the upper hand again.Prime Minister Ye Cheng and the others were secretly scolding in their hearts: The counterattack we came up with was cracked by you so easily, and we haven't lost our temper yet, but you are starting to shake your face!
Soon after His Majesty's travels, a guard came to report that he had found the person His Majesty had ordered to find.Dong Jixiang entered the palace with a hammer, and the guards who brought him reported helplessly: Your Majesty, this person said that this hammer was his own brother and refused to let go.The face should not have been raised with an iron weapon, lest there be an Assassin disguise.It's just that the craftsman refused to let go of his hammer, and His Majesty carefully told him to bring people in, so the guard had no choice but to bring them back.He had confirmed that this guy had no force, no threat.Huo Caiyu quietly took half a step forward, and could protect Li Jinyu behind him at any time.Li Jinyu knew that Dong Jixiang in the original book was also of this character, so he didn't care, only carefully observed Dong Jixiang, and found that although this person had a lot of sorrow between his eyebrows and eyes, he didn't have any resentment, as if the family destruction described in the original book had not happened.He was a little relieved, and coughed: "Master Dong, I heard that you are good at crafting armor and weapons, and I want you to forge lightweight, safe, and reliable armor for my soldiers of the Di Dynasty, I don't know what you think?"
Only then did Dong Jixiang take his eyes off the hammer in his hand and cast it on Li Jinyu in front of him.Because he invited someone to come, Li Jinyu didn't put up any emperor shelves, and he didn't have this thing, and his attitude was very sincere.Dong Jixiang is not full of awe of the royal family like ordinary people, blinking like sleepwalking, as if he only understands what the person in front of him is looking for him.He was silent for a while, and suddenly said: Your Majesty is gracious, the grass people should not shirk it, but there are grass people who have a knot in their hearts, and they have been stuck in their hearts, if they can't untie it, they really can't create a good armor.The guard who brought him next to him frowned, as if he felt that he was disrespectful to His Majesty, and wanted to stop talking.Huo Caiyu could see Li Jinyu's respect for this unknown craftsman, and waved his hand in advance to stop the guard from talking.Your Majesty is so serious, this person must not be simple.What knots do you have?
Many years ago, when the grass farmers could not afford to pay the taxes, and when the tax collector came to collect the tax, the grass farmers wanted to pay the head tax, but the tax collector did not want it.Dong Jixiang's face darkened slightly, and his voice had a faint fluctuation, the tax officer disliked the grass people because they were too old, and took away the grass people's younger brother.Li Jinyu blinked, not understanding.Huo Caiyu on the side understood: Is the tax official pulling people for the palace?
Only the palace attendants will only need children, because castration is early and easy to educate.Dong Jixiang nodded silently, and then raised his head: The grass people's father and mother are now deceased, and the only relative in the world is the young brother who is missing.Li Jinyu understood, and a drop of sweat faintly flowed from his forehead.He understands why Dong Jixiang hated the Di Dynasty in the original work.The life of the servants in the palace is like a mustard, and Emperor Jingchang will not care about the death of a few at all, presumably Dong Jixiang's younger brother died in the mouth of Emperor Jingchang.Maybe it's just that you're pouring too fast, maybe you're kneeling down not smart, or maybe you're just in a bad mood.It's just that in the original book, Emperor Jingchang would not have thought that the little chamberlain he gave to die would cause the anger of a seemingly ordinary craftsman and become a torch for the fall of the Di Dynasty later.Now what Li Jinyu is most worried about is Dong Jixiang's younger brother, is he still there?
Chapter 45 Squeak Squeak!
Li Jinyu temporarily placed Dong Jixiang in the Tiemu Bureau, and then investigated it in the palace according to Dong Jixiang's description.Dong Jixiang's younger brother was only seven or eight years old when he left home, and his eyebrows and eyes had not grown, and now □□ years have passed, and it is really not easy to find someone according to Dong Jixiang's childhood appearance.Dong Jixiang raised two questions, saying that if it was his own brother, he would definitely be able to answer it.The palace covers a huge area, and there are countless people in the inner palace, and the lowest level is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young chamberlain.The servant at this age is easy to call and train.Because when the original body was in the past few years, the update and iteration speed of the inner servants was extremely fast, so many of the inner servants who were transferred later did not register detailed family information.Fortunately, Huo Caiyu rectified the inner palace several times and re-registered the personnel, and now the management of the palace is very orderly, and it is very convenient to investigate.But half a day later, Huo Caiyu came to report that he had found Dong Jixiang's younger brother.Li Jinyu just peeled a melon seed, very surprised: is he still alive?
Huo Caiyu didn't know why the corners of her lips kept curling slightly, she was in a good mood, and said with a smile: I found it, and I am still a person familiar to Your Majesty.Li Jinyu blinked, and stuffed the melon seeds into his mouth with some confusion: He is familiar?
Could it be Changkang?
Huo Caiyu waved his hand, and a young man dressed in an indigo inner service walked in outside the hall, kneeling timidly: The slave and maid knock to see Your Majesty.The more Li Jinyu looked at him, the more familiar he felt, and he was stunned for a long time before he remembered that this was not the inner servant who used to be by his side?
