Chapter 823
When Yun Chu walked into the exhortation field of the Ministry of Rites carrying the burden, he found that the place was very deserted.
Deserted does not mean that there are few people, but very quiet.
The exhortation field is a very quiet place, and the quiet feeling is caused by hundreds of huge locust trees here.
There are dozens of thatched huts dotted under the big tree. Looking at the quality of the thatch, you can know that the cost of these huts is not low.
When Yunchu entered the admonition field, no one paid any attention to him. Looking at the rest of the people sitting alone in the thatched hut, Yunchu came to the best and newest hut, and pinched the necks of the people in the room. , and threw him out.
As for who is inside, Yunchu doesn't care, he only knows that whether in the Imperial College or in prison, bullies are always the most comfortable group of people to live in.
Now that they have all entered the admonition field, it means that they made a mistake and were sent here by the emperor to reflect on themselves.
The person who was thrown out by Yunchu was a middle-aged man in his 40s, obviously an official who knew very well about current affairs. He was not angry when he was thrown out by Yunchu. Chu cupped his hands and said: "Dear man, you are very strong, it is very reasonable for you to live in this house, can you throw out your luggage together?"
They were all from the province, so naturally there wasn't much luggage in the room, so Yun Chu threw his luggage out of the window as kindly as possible.
Seeing this guy silently picking up the luggage on the ground and looking for a new residence, Yunchu felt a little regretful.
The emperor threw him into the persuasion field for only one purpose, and that was to suppress him, because, soon, there would be a very important appointment, and Yunchu felt that it had something to do with the soldiers and horses he commanded during the Fengchan Taishan period.
As for Li Si's matter, it was basically nothing to the emperor, and punishing Yunchu was just an excuse.
Yunchu believed that Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui would also be sent here because of the wrong foot stepping into the hall one day.
Compared with such a major event as commanding troops and horses, Li Si's manipulation of poisons was out of the question.
Luoyang City is already a good season for the rustling autumn wind. The thin leaves on the locust tree fell like butterflies one after another. After a while, the ground was covered with yellow leaves.
Admonish the rest of the people in the field, not to watch the excitement, most people are reading, and some people seem to be thinking deeply while walking among the yellow leaves.
In Tang Xungui, the backs of scholars have always been tall and straight, like a standing green pine, and there are very few hunched backs. Therefore, whether it is drawn as a reading picture or a chanting picture, the picture is very beautiful.
Yunchu used a horizontal knife to chop down a rare red pine in the forest. The main reason was that there were many dead pine cones on the red pine. He wanted to drink tea, but he had no fuel.
The sound of the red pine falling to the ground was so loud that everyone in the exhortation field stretched their necks to watch.
Yun Chu didn't look at them, but looked at a few squirrels running away in panic.
After getting dozens of dry big pine cones, Yunchu didn't care about the poor red pine tree.
After Yunchu dug out a simple folding stove and a tea set from his luggage, those who had been eyeing the red pine for a long time unceremoniously tore up the red pine. The pine wood was still wet. But it doesn't matter, it can be used after two days of drying after splitting.
After Yunchu ignited a dry pine cone, the first ray of fireworks since the establishment of the Admonishment Field curled up.
The manager of the exhortation field came to Yunchu who was drinking tea with a serious face and said, "Fireworks are strictly prohibited here."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Think of another way, you came up with this excuse just now."
Guanshi said: "The master said, shooting you is like a gentleman, who misses the right goal, and instead seeks his own body."
Yun Chu frowned and looked at the little official in front of him who was full of words, "What do you mean, please explain."
The steward was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would meet a person who couldn't understand "The Doctrine of the Mean" in the exhortation field of senior Tang officials.
Then he said: "It means that if you can't hit the target, you can't find the fault of the target, you have to find the reason from yourself."
Yun Chu nodded, indicating that he was taught, and then asked, "How did you score in the Jinshi Department?"
The steward said with a look of astonishment: "There is no chance for Guizhi to choose."
Yun Chu said: "I am ninth in Jinshi, do you think you have the face to teach me in front of me?"
The manager's face turned red immediately, and he said loudly, "Master said: If three of you walk together, there must be my teacher."
Seeing that his tea was boiling again, Yun Chu kicked the steward away, and sat down to drink tea quietly again.
The people who came to the exhortation field were all very quiet, there had never been anyone as noisy as Yunchu.
This is indeed a place of thinking, a place where the emperor felt that his courtiers needed to think.
Those who can think here will not stay for long, as fast as three or five days, and as long as ten days and a half months.
Why does the emperor need these people to think quietly? The main reason is to ask these people to think clearly about who to serve and how to serve. Only those who think clearly and pass the emperor's assessment will be reused.
Therefore, no matter how Yunchu can do whatever he wants here, the managers here and those who pretend to think will show the greatest restraint.
Things were just as Yunchu thought, when Yunchu had just finished drinking tea, turned off the stove, and washed the tea set in clear water, Pei Xingjian walked into the exhortation field carrying a huge burden.
Long time no see, this guy looks more like a civil servant than a general. His light green uniform robe is propped up high by his belly, like a big green grasshopper.
Seeing Yun Chu washing tea sets by the well, Pei Xingjian walked over and asked directly, "Which room do you live in?"
Yun Chu pouted, and after Pei Xingjian confirmed Yun Chu's residence, he walked to the hut next to him, and said to the people in the room, "Why don't you change to another place!"
The people in the room watched Pei Xingjian for a long time, but finally left the hut with their belongings.
Pei Xingjian threw his luggage on the bed, came to Yunchu again and said, "I may be a former vanguard."
Yun Chu was not in the mood to discuss with him the issue of the front army and the rear army, looking at the man who had just been kicked out by Pei Xingjian, he said, "Do you know these people?"
Pei Xingjian said: "I know them, but I'm not familiar with them. These people are officials transferred from the prefectures and counties by His Majesty. It seems that there will be another group of people in the court who will be dismissed from office and seized titles."
Yun Chu said: "When Xue Rengui comes, there should be further news from him, but, what did His Majesty bring the three of us together with these people?"
Pei Xingjian said with a smile: "These people should be the people we mainly deal with during the time when Your Majesty enshrined Chan Taishan."
Yun Chu said: "I've tried it, and even threw a person out of the house. As a result, he didn't even bother to get angry with me."
Pei Xingjian said: "Just now I tried it out and asked people to move, and they moved. It seems that these people are not very willing to be too intimate with the two of us, but His Majesty wants to lock us together."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "You have also become bad, you clearly know the reason, if you want me to say it, I won't say it."
Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "Let's see if Xue Rengui can say it."
Yun Chu said again: "What's the meaning of telling us, you should tell His Majesty to be considered a hero."
Pei Xingjian laughed and said, "It's too expensive to be a hero in your mouth, anyway, I admit defeat."
Yunchu saw that Pei Xingjian had become a coward, so he didn't want to pay any attention to him, and went straight into the hut, ready to sleep.
The smile on Pei Xingjian's face also disappeared. After making the bed, he sighed and fell down on the bed.
At dawn, after Yunchu and Pei Xingjian finished washing, the steward who was kicked out by Yunchu brought the servants with food.
Yun Chu glanced at it, and there was displeasure on his face, because what the steward sent was an army ration.
Before the Tang Dynasty, there was no fixed military ration model, and they all had what to eat. Since the surplus food began to appear in Chang'an City, the fixed military ration before Yunchu's eyes began to appear in the Datang army.
One serving of fried noodles with beef bones, one serving of dried meat, one seasoning pack, a little dried salted vegetables, and finally a serving of dried soybean powder for drinking with salt added.
Beef bone fried noodles is to add a certain amount of beef bone powder when frying dry flour, and there is also meat oil refined from pig, beef, sheep and other fat in the middle. Grab a handful of water and mix it in wartime to make a good bowl of meat porridge.
As for the dried meat, it is only the length of a finger, which is the product of roasting beef and then drying it in the sun.
The lieutenant soldiers liked this kind of ration very much, but Yun Chu didn't like it.
After all, Yunchu had eaten it many times when he prepared it in the Chang'an workshop. As for the taste, it was only edible.
Originally, the taste of this thing can be made better, at least the flour can be made into dough, the seasoning can be richer, the fat can be more, and even a sugar packet can be added in it.
Chang'an's workshop actually researched such military rations, but Xue Rengui flatly rejected it.
The reason for his refusal was that Xue Rengui didn't want to feed the soldiers well. He felt that doing so would weaken the combat effectiveness of the Qin soldiers, and then make the Qin soldiers no longer able to endure hardships.
For this matter, Yunchu once had a big fight with Xue Rengui, but unfortunately, he couldn't convince the stubborn donkey commander.
Therefore, Chang'an City distributed it to the government soldiers for expeditions, and the military rations at the time of handover became what he saw.
The fried noodles with bone meal are yellowish brown, and the color is like shit after adding water...
Only then did Yun Chu set his eyes on the face of the steward who liked "The Doctrine of the Mean", and this guy jumped away and kept saying: "This is the rule of the exhortation field."
Because the servants brought boiling water, within a short time, the slight burnt smell of beef bone fried noodles wafted from the admonition field.
While smelling the fried noodles with beef stock, Yunchu also smelled the rotten smell from Xue Rengui.
Sure enough, after searching for a while, Yunchu saw Xue Rengui who was drinking beef bone fried noodle soup from the door of a hut on the far side.
Yun Chu looked at the steward and said, "Bring me the No. [-] military ration, don't tell me that you don't have it here."
The steward shook his head repeatedly and said, "Really not."
Just when Yunchu was about to go forward and beat this guy up again, he heard Xue Rengui's voice coming from a distance.
"Luoyang doesn't have the No. [-] military ration you mentioned."
Yun Chu looked at Xue Rengui who was walking towards him like a tiger, and said: "In this case, you should explain to me where the [-] No. [-] military rations sent to your barracks went?
Could it be that it was swallowed by you personally? "
Xue Rengui smiled while taking a sip of the soup: "Xue never drinks the blood of soldiers. Part of the No. [-] military rations you sent is in the warehouse in Chang'an, and the other part is sent to Nanzhao. I heard that once the soldiers there Once you start drilling, it becomes difficult to get hot food."
Yunchu looked at the ugly marks on Xue Rengui's mouth when he drank beef bone fried noodles, and snorted, "Young boy."
Xue Rengui has long been used to eating this kind of military rations on weekdays. He stretched out his tongue and swiped around the hairy mouth, and sent the remaining beef bone fried noodles into his mouth without a trace.
Pei Xingjian also came over with a bowl and said to Yunchu, "There are green onions in this soup, which is already very particular."
Xue Rengui sneered and said: "If you want Chang'an soldiers, it can only be Chang'an soldiers. You can never succeed in this kind of plan here."
Yun Chu looked at Xue Rengui with his hands behind his back and said, "Generals don't know soldiers, and soldiers don't know generals. Your Majesty has done this to the extreme. It was only before the battle that he sent the three of us here to have a brief contact with these people. What do you think?" Is this good?"
Xue Rengui sneered and said: "We line up our troops, and Captain Zhechong will naturally take action in the battle. Why are you so familiar with Captain Zhechong and even their soldiers?"
Even the bold Yun Chu didn't dare to answer this sentence.
"when did you come?"
"I entered the city yesterday evening, and I arrived here when it got dark. By the way, all the soldiers assigned to you are Chang'an soldiers. Are you satisfied with this?"
Yun Chu and Pei Xingjian looked at each other, both looked a little sad, the matter was already very clear.
This time leading the army to guard the emperor's east tour, Xue Rengui was the most respected among the three, and Xue Rengui also unceremoniously took over the military power.
Among the three, Pei Xingjian clearly knew that he was the former army, Xue Rengui knew everything, only Yunchu didn't know that he was leading the rear army until now.
Regardless of whether it was just a small chronological issue, the trust of the three people in the emperor's heart can also be seen from this incident.
Yunchu was unwilling to eat No. [-] military ration, because he knew how the beef bone in the beef bone fried noodles came from. This thing is very precious. It is impossible for the butchers to put the clean bones of the shaved meat into the stone mill for grinding. Bone meal, there are a lot of pork bones, sheep bones, even chicken, duck, and goose bones.
Yun Chu didn't want to guess about the origin of those bones, so he would rather eat the dry food he brought from home than eat this thing.
The atmosphere in the exhortation field did not appear lively because of the extra appearance of Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian. On the contrary, since the arrival of the three of Yunchu, those who came in first had a dead face all day long. Apart from maintaining the due courtesy, Yunchu and the other three treated them as air.
It wasn't until Datang's Minister of War, Anle County Gong Ren Yaxiang, brought a group of people to the exhortation field that the atmosphere here became more lively.
It was mainly because the obese Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty arrived at the exhortation field that he divided the people here into three groups, led by Yunchu, Pei Xingjian, and Xue Rengui respectively.
The good thing is that when he was here, Xue Rengui did not have the power to control Yunchu and Pei Xingjian.
It was only after Ren Yaxiang explained the emperor's will clearly that behind the three of Yunchu, each had an extra team.
At noon that day, the three teams had already been separated in terms of food. Yunchu led sixteen subordinates, and when they began to eat large pieces of beef, the subordinates of Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian were still eating the No. [-] military ration .
The reason for such a change is entirely because the people who came with Ren Yaxiang included a group of accompanying military doctors, and the leader of these military doctors was Lao He and He Bingshu, who had a serious face and treated all soldiers equally.
Early in the morning, when Xue Rengui led his subordinates to run around the exhortation field, Yun Chu led his subordinates to sit around the fire and drink tea while discussing the problems that the rear army would face.
Pei Xingjian was also doing a job similar to Yunchu's. They were former soldiers, and their requirement was to clear away any possible dangers for His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, Pei Xingjian was very serious this time, and his huge voice kept coming from the hut It came from behind, it seems that he still likes to talk.
"That's it. What we have to do is the most cumbersome thing. It's the rear army, it's better to say it's the containment team. It's not our turn to worry about things like combat and defense. The only thing we need to be responsible to His Majesty is to ensure that the army has no shortage of food and supplies."
Holding his teacup, Yun Chu smiled and spoke out the mission of his rear army. Next, it was time to speak freely. Yun Chu really wanted to listen to the speeches of his subordinates, and wanted to see the emperor implement the "Soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers" How determined is it.
According to the Tang Dynasty in the history books, this strategy was not implemented very well. If it was implemented, where would the disaster of the Tang Dynasty come from?
