Chapter 141: The General
Everything was ready, just waiting for the emperor to set off in Beiyang. Chen Mu always thought that the platform was used by the emperor to watch the ceremony, but it was not.
In mid-October, Chen Mu, who was in Beiyang, accompanied his wife and children, suddenly received an urgent imperial edict from the court, ordering him to receive the edict and set off for the Forbidden City.
It seemed that this summoning was not as easy as usual. When Chen Mu arrived at the Forbidden City, he walked through the palace that was so familiar that he could not be familiar with him, he faced the little eunuch Zhang Jing with a straight face and read the emperor's edict to wait in the side hall of the bedroom, and then led the way without saying a word.
The bedroom, where is the mother-in-law?
It’s not the Eastern Palace. Apart from the main hall, there are two greenhouses and two ear rooms. Where is the side hall?
Chen Mu wanted to ask, when he walked out of Fudao and walked to the front of the hall, the warriors standing on both sides holding golden gourds, each staring at Chen Mu with a serious and threatening look, making him dare not act frivolously.
Is this, the Queen Mother wants to summon herself?
Then he saw the little eunuch Zhang Jing turn around at the door of the bedroom and lead him to the door of the ear room where two great Han generals stood, and it was the outer door.
Zhang Jing waved his whisk on his hand, but there was still no smile on his face, and he said, "Please!"
As soon as he entered the ear room, Chen Mu felt that the little emperor was getting more and more courageous - he actually built a Taoist sect on the wall of the ear room!
He blatantly regarded the ear room as a side hall!
Doesn’t it hurt to kneel down?
The emperor did not ask him to wait, but was waiting for him.
When Chen Mu walked through the small door in the ear room and entered Emperor Wanli's "battle command room", the messy tables had been neatly tidied up, and the huge map of the world hanging on the walls was used as the background.
Little Wanli stood in the middle of the twelve chapter patterns wearing a robe with a tiger face and holding his hands in his arms. Without waiting for Chen Mu to ask questions, he stepped forward and took a step forward, stared at and gritted his teeth, and said seriously: "National crisis is in today, and you need to be a general to go on the war. What do you think?"
Is it difficult for state ownership?
How did you say that? To put it into the words in that book, Chen Mu had an unprecedented water and land fair in his mind, and various magical instruments kept ringing in his mind.
But at this time, he did not understand what the little emperor was doing.
"Your Majesty, have the Northern Captains gone south?"
The little emperor's serious expression suddenly suffocated, almost laughed, swallowed the saliva from his mouth hard, returned to his seriousness, and repeatedly asked: "National state is in danger now, and you need to be a general to go on the battle. What do you think?"
Like a broken little ai.
Chen Mu probably understood that the little emperor had entered the plot task NPC role-playing state, and he would say this, he had to answer the correct answer, he bowed his head and said, "I am willing to take on this important task."
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the little emperor stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and pounded his calves quickly at the door of the ear room. He said as he walked: "Go quickly, I have been fast for three days. Let's go to Taimiao quickly. If you are late, you will be discovered by your mother!"
What? Is this thief who is in danger in the country actually hiding in the Taimiao?
When he left the ear room, two great Han generals followed. Chen Mu thought that he was about to start an expedition and was not in Middle-earth for several years. When he came back, he might have left his childishness and had a patience to play house with him, and followed him to the Taimiao.
Just a few days ago, Chen Mu only talked with Feng Bao about two things. One was to suggest that the Military Bureau, one of the 12th Supervision Bureau of the Inner Court, and the Military Arts Bureau of the Ministry of Works, send people to Beiyang to learn how to make flint guns and cannons, and further expand the imperial production capacity.
This incident is not a personal subordinate organization of Feng Bao. Although the Silijian is the leader of the inner court, it can only affect the military battle situation, and the Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of Works only has the influence.
But another thing is something Feng Bao can manage. He told Feng Bao about the principle of depression, and pretended to hearsay. He suggested that the young emperor could have one day or half a day to play every ten days, find something that would make him relax, and not be too strict.
As for whether Feng Daban can listen, it is another matter.
Until this time, Chen Mu thought that some little eunuch or Jinyi angered the emperor and asked the emperor to find Chen Mu to beat someone up... Do children often do this?
The Taimiao is not far from the Ganqing Palace. It is outside the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City and within the Chengtian Gate, and is the Taimiao and the Altar of the Sovereigns worshipped by ancestors and ancestors.
Although Chen Mu had never entered the Taimiao and had absent from the public service of sacrifices over the years, he had no taboo in his heart when he entered the Taimiao. He felt that the little emperor would cause trouble and he could persuade him.
But when he entered the Taimiao, he would not think so.
The Taimiao is too serious, like a small sacrifice. Although it is not far from the Ganqing Palace, the anxious little emperor still makes the anxious little emperor pant and sweaty. He ordered the warriors in front of the palace to guard the left and right, raised his sleeves to clean his forehead and sweaty, turned his head to urge Chen Mu, "Come in quickly!"
The shrines, divine plaques and divine chairs of Emperor Taizu and the empress are enshrined in the main hall of Taimiao. The other ancestral tablets are in the same room. The little emperor took the incense and candle from the hands of the eunuch Wang An, who had been waiting here, and lit incense at the Taizu tablets, and muttered words.
"Don't blame our ancestors. The descendants of the future generations have hidden secrets. Before taking power, they are governed by their mothers and queens. They can only worship their ancestors in this way..."
My little mouth was so broken that I complained and asked for forgiveness, and followed me in the same words.
After talking for a long time, he looked back at Wang An. Wang An handed the incense candle to Chen Mu again. The little emperor said, "Prepare incense and worship our ancestors!"
Chen Mu's mind was always confused and was stunned. It was not until Wang An urged him with his eyes that he burned incense to Emperor Taizu's divine card as if he was the little emperor, and he whispered in his mouth and introduced himself to Zhu Yuanzhang.
When he turned around, the little emperor had already taken out the small compass from his sleeve like a Feng Shui warrior and looked for a location all over the ground. Finally, he stood firm in the east of the hall, put the compass back into his sleeve, facing the west, and looked at Chen Mu with the corner of his eyes.
Wang An whispered in front of Chen Mu: "Jing Haibo, you should stand in the south and face the north."
When Chen Mu really stood in the south and facing the north, that is, facing the Emperor Taizu's shrine, divine plaque, and divine chair, he saw the little emperor taking out a small axe from the eunuch's treasure box in the east, and he realized what Wanli was going to do.
Wanli was worshiping generals, but the ceremony was wrong.
The worship of generals in the Ming Dynasty was not like this. After Tumu Fortress, there was no serious worship of generals. Even before Tumu Fortress, the ceremony of worshiping generals was different. The emperor was asked to sit in Fengtian Hall in military uniforms and dress, and the general entered the hall from the west to kowtow and bowed four times, and the official declaration was carried out.
It is called the ceremony of giving the ritual of a ritual on behalf of others.
There is no need to pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang, nor to burn incense to his ancestors. He is not so serious at all.
The little emperor held the blade of the axe in both hands, pointed the handle of the axe at Chen Mu, and said, "From now on the nine heavens, the general will make it!"
This means authority.
The little emperor then seriously held the axe and shaved, held the handle of the axe and pointed the blade at Chen Mu, and said, "From now on to Jiuyuan, the general will control it!"
This action is a warning and reminds the general to respect himself.
Then, the little emperor seemed to be memorizing the text and was about to look at Chen Mu and reminded: "When you see it is weak, advance, and when you see it, stop. Do not underestimate the enemy by the crowd of the three armies, do not die because of the heavy responsibility of being a man, do not be a bitch by the noble person, do not disobey the crowd because of the unique view, do not judge the argument as inevitable. Do not sit before the soldiers sit, do not eat before the soldiers eat, and the cold and heat will be the same. In this way, the soldiers will do their best to die."
"I know that the Eastern Expedition is heavy, but I cannot create a seal of the altar for you that emperors and generals in ancient times. I respect you so much, and I hope that you can respect me so much after going to sea."
"I have made an official seal for you, but I have not taken charge at this time. Alas... the seals made by the emperor were actually privately engraved!"
He said his own complaints, and the little emperor waved his sleeves and said, "In addition to the important officials of Beiyang and ministers of Nanyang, I will give you the Asian strategy and the Minister of War of the Right Beijing, which means to be responsible for the strategy of Yamelica for the management of military and political affairs."
"When I take power, the official title will be awarded immediately... This is not considered as a violation of the system in front of my ancestors, right?"
"The ancestors will not blame me. My general is the weapon of the country, not a talent of a thousand miles."
