Chapter 17 Five Tiger Generals
"No one has ever asked about it for ten years, and he became famous all over the world." Shi Kefa ranked first in the first grade in high school, and passed the Jinshi, which is the top scholar in high school as the saying goes. For a while, the entire Ming Dynasty was circulating the glorious deeds of Shi Kefa:
What Shi Kefa is that Wenquxing descended to earth, and that his mother Meng Wen Tianxiang was born;
What Shi Kefa reads all the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of five, and is a perfect example at the age of seven;
What Shi Kefa has been diligent since childhood, hanging his head and stinging his thighs, and studying hard, which has moved Zuo Guangdou and taken him as his disciple;
......
Happiness came too suddenly, and Shi Kefa was so happy that he didn't know what to do. The Donglin Party members in the court and the country were even more ecstatic. This was the favorite student of the sage Zuo Guangdou, and he was the first top scholar since the founding of the Donglin Party.
The significance of this top scorer is too great. Once the top scorer is released, who will dare to doubt the status of the Donglin Party’s leader in the future? Who else dares to say that the Donglin Party is seeking fame and reputation!
The Donglin Party has started with party struggles, and there are naturally countless masters of verbal wars. The disciples of this sage, naturally, have to brag about the top scorer in high school. Later, they will start with a classic whenever they verbal wars: "Your Chacha Party is a yarn, do you know who the new top scorer is, do you know who Shi Kefa is? That's our Donglin Party, and your Chacha Party will give us a top scorer."
Just as the Donglin Party members were celebrating each other, Zhu Cijing began his long-planned plan to win over. What is the top scorer? There are more surprises waiting for Shi Kefa.
After traveling in the capital with a splendid red flower for a few days, Shi Kefa received an imperial edict and appointed him as a bachelor of lecturers in the Hanlin Academy. There is nothing special about this appointment. According to the practice, the new top scholar will be appointed as a bachelor of lecturers in the Hanlin Academy, who are from the fifth rank, and other second-rank, Tanhua and second-rank, and third-rank Jinshi will be arranged to go to various government offices in the capital to train or directly be transferred to the local magistrate to serve. They are generally the seventh rank, and a few will be promoted to officials in the sixth rank or sixth rank.
The Hanlin Academy’s lecturer is not an administrative official. His main job is to accompany the emperor to study. If the emperor has something to understand, the lecturer must explain it in detail. The emperor cannot read books every day, so the lecturer has another job, which is to guide the compilation and editing of literature and history in the Hanlin Academy. Major events that need to be recorded in history in a dynasty cannot happen every day, so the lecturer is generally relatively leisurely. However, Shi Kefa was not so leisurely. As soon as he went to work at the Hanlin Academy, the emperor’s decree came and asked him to report to the Qianqing Palace immediately.
Shi Kefa thought the emperor was going to read books, but this was not the case at all. When he arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, a fourth-rank prefect and a handsome young scholar were waiting outside the gate. Before he could greet the two of them, the eunuch sang loudly from the Qianqing Palace: "The emperor has an order, Xuan Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Shi Kefa Jin saw him."
Soon, a small eunuch came out of the Qianqing Palace and led them into the way.
Shi Kefa followed them dizzyly to the outside of the imperial study room. After a series of rumors, a majestic middle-aged eunuch walked out of it and smiled and said, "Come with me, three."
Shi Kefa was even more dizzy. He didn't know the other eunuchs. Almost no one in the capital was a officials. This was the eunuch who led the East Factory Admiral Cao Huachun and the governor of the East Factory! Why is this eunuch Cao so polite to them? I don't understand, I don't understand.
When he entered the imperial study room and saw the scene inside, he couldn't understand it even more.
The little emperor Zhu Cijing was holding a musket similar to his, standing on the big kang behind the desk and playing with love. The emperor's teacher Xu Guangqi sat at the lower left of the desk, looking at the emperor with respect. Well, it would be fine if the emperor doesn't care about it, why do you still look at him with respect? You are the emperor's teacher, not the disciple of the emperor!
The lower right head of this desk is even more outrageous.
A majestic old woman was sitting there, with two young generals standing behind her. Well, it wouldn't be outrageous if the three of them looked at the emperor quietly. The problem is that they are not quiet at all. A stunning girl in the palace dress was leaning against the old woman's arms and acting cute. The majestic old woman was coaxing her like a treasure. The two young generals were also pretending to be flattering and making the stunning girl happy!
What happened to these people? Do you think this is their family?
Of course, he could only be unable to understand. There was no place for him to speak here. No matter how outrageous these people did, he had no right to care. He followed Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting to the desk, knelt on the ground and kowtowed and bowed: "I'm going to see the emperor."
When Zhu Cijing saw that everyone was here, he reluctantly put down the spear in his hand, coughed, and said kindly: "Get up."
When Qin Mingyue heard his cough, she found that there were three more people in the study. Her pretty face turned red and she quickly rushed out of Qin Liangyu's arms and stood seriously next to his two brothers. Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming immediately put away their flattering expressions, raised their heads and thrust their waists, and stood majestic, as if the two people who were just humble and coaxing their little sister to be happy were not the same as them.
Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Shi Kefa kowtowed and thanked him for his gratitude, and got up from the ground, standing there in a daze, not knowing what the emperor wanted to do.
Zhu Cijing did not tell them what to call them for, but asked: "Are the three beloved ministers interested in leading troops to fight?"
If these words were asked by other dynasties, these three civil officials would probably be foolish immediately. However, the Ming Dynasty was so weird. The generals of the army were still civil officials. So Lu Xiangsheng and the others did not feel strange at all when they heard Zhu Cijiong's words. Instead, they replied in unison: "But by the emperor's order."
Zhu Cijiong clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then I'll be wronged that the three of them are temporarily under General Qin's command to serve as deputy generals of the Third Army Camp to help General Qin train the Beijing Camp."
The deputy generals of the Jingying camp were from the third rank. Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting were better. They were originally the fourth rank, but they were only upgraded to the third rank, but they were already very surprised. Which passionate man does not want to fight on the battlefield and make achievements? Moreover, the Jingying camp is the Imperial Guard and the emperor's personal army. Both the equipment and the quality of the soldiers are the best.
