Riding the Pheonix Chapter 725: Military camp
Chapter 727 Military Camp
When Yang Shu arrived, Mingwei and Ning Xiu went to Jiangyang camp to ask for a meeting.
It’s hot and humid in the south, and it’s already May. After settling in, some people are hanging out outside to enjoy the cool air.
The man enjoying the cool air was named Wu Yao. He served as a lecturer and was ordered to serve King An.
——In fact, the emperor felt that Wang An’s homework could not be stopped, so he found a teacher to follow him.
Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy have good knowledge. Wu Yao was born in second place and was quite talented, but he was a bit old-fashioned, had a weird temper, and was not very popular. For example, if you are nearly half a century old this year and are still hanging around in the Hanlin Academy and are neither getting up nor down, it will be difficult for you to get ahead.
This time when King An went on an expedition, the emperor wanted to pick someone to keep an eye on his work. Anyone he trusted had a responsibility, so he picked an inconspicuous person in the Hanlin Academy to follow him.
Wu Yao was lucky enough to find such a good job. He performed his duties diligently along the way and educated King An whenever he had the chance.
Wang An was miserable. Although he was a mess in the past, he always respected his husband.
Wu Yao was very satisfied with his teaching.
His Royal Highness Prince An, who will soon become the crown prince, is obediently listening to his instructions in front of him. This is something he has never dreamed of!
And everyone in the army respects him very much because of his status as Teacher An Wang.
Gradually, Wu Yao became angry. No matter what happens, I always want to talk to King An about it.
When he saw Mingwei and Ning Xiu outside the camp gate, he asked the sergeant on the side: "Who are these? Why did they come to the military camp?"
The sergeant replied respectfully: "Back to Master Wu, that gentleman is the senior brother of His Highness the King of Yue, and the young lady beside him is said to be the fiancée of His Highness the King of Yue."
"Fiancée?" Wu Yao remembered, "Oh, the one from the Ming family, right?"
Wu Yao really knows Mingwei’s origin better than others.
The Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty was a role model for all scholars in Qi State by conferring literary titles on marquises. The current rules of the Hanlin Academy were set by the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty during his time. Something like that happened to a descendant of his family, which caused a great uproar in the Hanlin Academy. It was a pity that Prime Minister Ming's reputation could not be preserved.
Moreover, Ji Ling is now in the Hanlin Academy.
Wu Yao was deeply impressed by this young man.
In theory, they have similar backgrounds, but Ji Ling is good at both work and life. Although his qualifications are not high, he is highly regarded in the Hanlin Academy.
Wu Yao felt sour in his heart. He couldn't help but compare himself with him. He felt that the reason why they were so different was because Ji Ling knew how to work in camps.
Therefore, he paid more attention to the affairs of Ji Ling's family, and naturally knew that there was a future princess in his family.
No matter how low-key Mingwei is, with this engagement contract on her back, some gossip will always spread outside.
Wu Yao was old-fashioned and his impression of her was not very good.
Her father passed away miserably, and she still lived the life of an official lady at her uncle's house. I don't usually pay attention to boudoir etiquette, I just go out when I want to. Although they were engaged, they were not married, but they often traveled together.
The descendants of Prime Minister Ming are so impudent, which really stains the Prime Minister’s reputation.
But on weekdays, he couldn't see Mingwei. At most, he muttered in his heart.
When I suddenly saw Mingwei, I couldn't help it.
Forget it in the capital, but still chase him to the military camp?
If King An saw this, wouldn't it mean that His Highness had been taught a bad lesson?
So Wu Yao passed by.
Ming Wei and Ning Xiu were waiting when they suddenly saw an official in his forties walking over with a huge belly, and asked with official authority: "What are you two doing here in this important military camp area?"
Ning Xiu didn't care, he cupped his hands and replied: "Sir, we are relatives of His Highness the King of Yue, and we have come here to see you."
"Really?" Wu Yao stroked his beard and looked him up and down, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue's relatives are all royal relatives. Why don't I remember you?"
Ning Xiu heard the embarrassment in his tone and didn't want to get entangled, so he said: "The common people are wrong. They are close people, not relatives."
"Oh..." Wu Yao nodded, "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Yue has a senior brother who is a charlatan. Could it be you?"
Ning Xiu calmly replied: "Yes."
Wu Yao put on an admonishing posture: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue did not do this properly. The people in the Jianghu are lawless. How can you be too close? Forget it on weekdays. Now is the war. How can you let irrelevant people enter the camp? You still Go back, don't burden His Highness the King of Yue."
The sergeants guarding the camp knew that Wu Yao loved to teach others, and Ning Xiu was not one of them, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one came to rescue him.
Ning Xiu frowned and said angrily: "My lord, we have something important to do with His Highness the King of Yue."
"Is it important? You are a Jianghu man, what important things do you know?" Wu Yao said contemptuously, then looked at Mingwei, "Who is this? Women are not allowed in the military camp, don't you know this? ”
Ning Xiu naturally explained for her: "This is Miss Ming Qi, the fiancée of His Highness King Yue. We really have something important to do. Please be accommodating and allow us to meet with His Highness."
Hearing his answer, Wu Yao became even more excited and said to Ming Wei: "So you are the fiancée of His Royal Highness the King of Yue? Not to mention not married yet, even if you are already a couple, what is the etiquette of chasing after you to the military camp like this? When we go on an expedition, our two highnesses are here in person, and we must set an example. If Miss Ming Qi understands the truth, she should not trap His Highness Wang Yue in an unjust place!"
Mingwei has been traveling around the world for many years, and has never seen anyone. Knowing that he is a person like him, the more he talks to her, the more enthusiastic he becomes, so he just repeats: "My little girl really has something important to do, please show your respect."
He has already told you everything, but he still didn’t cry bitterly to show his regret. Wu Yao became more and more dissatisfied: "Didn't it say that women can't enter the military camp? I let you in today. What if others follow suit in the future? It's really unfair." That’s true!”
After hearing this, Mingwei and Ning Xiu looked at each other and both chose to shut up.
They still think it's a waste of time to argue with this kind of people. Just wait, Yang Shu will send someone anyway.
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from over there: "Hey, Bachelor Wu is so majestic! Have you become addicted to being a teacher all the way? Are you even taking care of military affairs?"
Who else could make this mocking voice besides Yang Shu? He didn't send anyone, but came in person~IndoMTL.com~ Even King An was there.
Wu Yao thought he was right, but he was ridiculed by him, saluted, and said angrily: "What did His Highness, King of Yue, say? Is what I said wrong? Or does His Highness intend to ignore military regulations?"
Yang Shu glanced at him, raised the corner of his mouth, and half-smiled: "Xueshi Wu seemed to understand the military regulations very well. Then I have to ask, is there really such a provision in the military regulations? Hey, tell me. !"
He casually clicked on a soldier at the entrance of the camp.
The soldier was stunned for a moment and replied: "Your Highness, it is not written in the military regulations..."
It’s just that everyone defaults to it.
Once a woman enters the military camp, it often means that the army has begun to become corrupt, so any army that still respects discipline will strictly control it.
Yang Shu ignored this and listened to him, looking at Wu Yao arrogantly: "Scholar Wu, did you hear that?"
Go to bed late.
