Chapter 523 Chang Yuan 3

Guo Yang thought so.

After he got off duty and changed into casual clothes, he passed by the place where the notice was posted and was stunned.

Why is the area ahead so blocked?

Is it because of conscription?

Impossible? Didn't Aye say that when he was in the Ministry of War, the able-bodied men avoided him.

Every household wanted to hide their sons in their prime, not to mention that in the queue ahead, one or two figures dressed in women's clothing could be vaguely seen.

Is it a hobby?

Hmm? Why is this excitement different from the experience his father told me?

Even though he was a little rebellious, his father wouldn't betray his own son in such an important matter just to teach him a lesson.

He randomly picked up a person who was watching the excitement and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

As a fellow spectator, the man enthusiastically introduced him: "The imperial court is recruiting soldiers."

"In the past, we recruited very few people every year, and the opportunities were hard to grab. This time, we recruited so many people at once, it's really exciting!"

The man even beat his chest and sighed: "What a pity, I am too old and was driven back. Otherwise I would have gone there too!"

As he spoke, someone handed a purse to the recorder and said with a smile, "Official, please be kind and be flexible. Our child has had the ambition to serve the country since he was young. If you appreciate him, please take care of him."

This person is totally incompetent. In public, even if the person really had the idea, he didn't dare to accept it and retreated righteously.

Even so, Guo Yang was shocked and realized how popular the conscription quota was.

He continued to ask the old man, "Brother, I remember that in the past, when we were conscripted, no one wanted to come, and the imperial court had to arrest people."

"Why are you guys grabbing it now?"

The old man looked at him like a fool and said with contempt: "Of course you hide from the bad things, but you have to steal the good things!"

"Oh, now this is a good treatment!"

"In the past, after being conscripted, people were not well fed or well clothed, and they had to train every day to prepare for fighting on the battlefield."

"It's different now. The family next door to us has a young son in the military camp. His monthly salary alone is enough for the whole family if they save a little."

"Even the children in my family can go to the government school for free. In the future, we will be known as a family of scholars!"

He gestured with a beaming expression, "I saw that young man go home to visit his relatives. When he left, he was still like a little monkey, as thin as skin wrapped around bones. He didn't come back for two years."

"Huh! As big as a hill."

"They said the food in the barracks was really good. There was meat in every meal. Everyone rushed to get some."

"I heard that he is not afraid of death, and the money he gave to his family as compensation is so much."

He looked very proud, as if he had already received the money.

Guo Yang was a little dazed.

Yes, Dai Viet is different now than before, and can naturally give better to its people and soldiers.

Thinking about this, Guo Yang had already thought about how to make his father angry when he got home today.

I must explain to him how easy this conscription job is. Hehe, I envy him so much.

At this moment, a woman in women's clothing came to the front of the line.

A man came running over from behind, panting, and grabbed her.

"You stupid bitch! They're going to the war, why are you, a woman, coming here to join in the fun?"

The woman dodged his pull, slapped the table, and said loudly: "The person who read the notice said that it is limited to age, not gender. Even if you are not strong enough, you can still cook. There are so many old men! Why fight without eating?"

The man looked embarrassed, but still wanted to pull her away, scolding her: "The old men there can cook, they have cooks, there's no need for a woman like you to go."

"What's it like to hang out with a bunch of men?"

Other people around who were looking for trouble also started pointing and talking, and some even whistled in a vulgar way.

"Haha, isn't it good to like hanging out with men?"

"If more women come, we won't have to worry about a lack of women in the barracks, hahahaha!"

It was as if the female soldiers who were his colleagues were treated as prostitutes who were not allowed to exist in Dai Viet.

Another lady who was standing in the queue seemed to be a little discouraged and had already turned around to leave.

When the woman heard this, she became even angrier.

The table was slammed loudly, and the clerk who was taking notes was so shocked that he stepped back.

She first angrily said to her husband, "When we women are asked to cook at home, we say we are clumsy and can't cook. So, you become dexterous when you go to the battlefield?"

"I've never heard of a war punishing clumsy people!"

Then he turned around and pointed at the person who had said the sarcastic words, "If you say that again, the officials will arrest you!"

The people around were stunned. Usually it was because someone was surrounded by a crowd and gossiped about, spreading some gossip that came from nowhere, and the person involved would be so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die.

How come this time there's such a shameless person who isn't afraid at all?

The woman was good at arguing with the scholars and left everyone speechless. She turned around and grinned at the clerk, then reported her name, age, and hometown.

The scribe did not write anything, but said with some embarrassment: "Madam, although the notice says so, men are strong and healthy."

"We didn't expect so many people to apply before, and we thought women could help too."

"Look, the queue is so crowded that it's impossible to get through. They definitely don't hire women anymore."

The husband, who had been taking a break, was also irritated and shouted, "That's right, you already have a man, what do other people want a troublesome woman like you to do? Why don't you come back with me!"

"You embarrass yourself outside every day, and yet you still want to get around men!"

The woman withstood the pressure at home and the rumors, but she did not expect to be defeated by the indifference of the court officials.

Guo Yang, who was watching the excitement in the crowd, thought to himself that something was wrong.

He has been with His Majesty since they were classmates at the Hongwenguan, and he knows His Majesty's temperament well.

It's understandable that there was no female soldier involved and he didn't notice it. But if someone reports it, it will be difficult for him as the person in charge to explain himself.

Not to mention, he grew up with His Majesty since he was a teenager, and the women around him were all strong women like Lei Nian'er and Zhou Huanjiu.

I deeply feel that saying women are inferior to men is just nonsense.

He pushed his way through the crowd and rushed forward.

“Make way! Make way!”

"Excuse me! Excuse me, excuse me!"

While squeezing, he secretly hated his own habit of not liking to bring servants with him.

But if you bring servants with you, you can't blend in with the crowd to watch these things.

Finally squeezing out from the sweaty crowd, Guo Yang's clothes and hair were a little messy.

The crown was also a little crooked. If it were a conservative and polite person, he would not be able to accept his own rudeness and would cover his face and run away.

But he didn't care about his appearance, and said sternly to the clerk who was carrying private goods: "It is clearly written in black and white on the notice that this lady meets the requirements."

"Your job is to record those who meet the requirements and submit them to the police. How can you be selfish and persuade people to go home?"

"Hurry up and write it down!"

This reminder was even very gentle, but the person in front of him was a clerk who did not recognize him because his official position was too low.

Moreover, when he returned home from work, he was not wearing his official uniform and did not bring any token to prove his identity.

In front of a crowd of common people, Shu Lingshi was pointed at and accused of doing something wrong, which made him feel very embarrassed.

Originally, because of his low-ranking position, he was ordered around in the Ministry of War.

Now, when he is outside, being flattered by a group of people and his self-confidence is extremely inflated, a young man suddenly appears and accuses him of being wrong, humiliating him in front of everyone.

The secretary was furious: "It disturbs public order and obstructs public affairs."

"Someone, come! Catch this thief!"

Guo Yang was a little panicked as he did not expect the situation to develop. He hurriedly explained, "No, I am the Minister of War!"

The secretary sneered: "The Minister of War is such a big shot, he is naturally surrounded by people when he goes out."

"You don't even have a servant, yet you dare to pretend to be an official appointed by the imperial court. This is simply an unforgivable crime!"

The woman also stopped him anxiously and said, "Young man, I know you have good intentions. Admit your mistake now."

"It's not worth it to offend these officials for me. You will go to jail."

Guo Yang was confused.

"No, I'm really the Minister of War!"

He accompanied His Majesty all the way from the Eastern Palace to the Ganlu Palace, and worked very hard to finally get promoted to an official position as a close minister of the king! Who else could it be but him!

Shu Lingshi sneered: "I have seen many people like you. You pretended to be someone you thought we could not verify, and you still refuse to repent!"

He pointed to two soldiers and ordered, "Take him to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

The dignified Minister of War and a popular figure in the imperial court. Guo Yang.

Just like that, she was twisted on the arm by a soldier whom her own men had never seen before, and was rushed through the crowd like a wolf and was escorted to Jingzhao Prefecture.

The last person to take office as Jingzhao Yin was promoted. This year, the one who took office was Bei Xiaosi, who had been promoted to Princess Yinxun.

She remembered her elder sister saying, "Prince Xiansan? Princess Xiansan?"

"Dream on! I work so hard every day, and you guys are just hanging around in front of me doing nothing? Have you ever considered the psychological shadow area I am in?"

"All those who can work should work for me. Either you get double the salary or nothing at all."

His Majesty the Emperor is extremely jealous of the leisurely lives of his younger brothers and sisters, except for Bei Yanyu, who is really useless, and the fifth brother, who is imprisoned for life.

She and Xiaoliu couldn't escape.

Thinking of this, Princess Yinxun felt very sad.

Why didn't I want to pretend when I was in Hongwenguan? If I pretended to be as silly as my second sister, I could just stay at home and lie down.

Princess Yinxun shook her head. Perhaps she had not expected that her elder sister was a ruthless person who would not even let her younger sisters go.

Princess Yinxun originally wanted to resist, but was pulled aside by her elder sister and brainwashed. Oh no, had a talk.

His Majesty the Emperor advised earnestly: "Officials and nobles who commit crimes are under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple, while the Jingzhao Yin is in charge of the people."

"The children of officials are also civilians according to etiquette and law, and are under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture."

"But the capital is full of powerful people, and they have powerful relatives behind them. The Jingzhao Yin will inevitably be cautious and dare not speak for the people. He may even protect and condone them to sell their family's favors."

She patted her shoulder with a hopeful tone: "You are the eldest princess, you are of noble status, you can keep your mind upright when you go there, and don't be afraid of their threats."

"Only you can give justice to the innocent people who have been wronged."

So, Yinxun was deceived and came here with great ambition and ambition.

It took two days before I changed my mind.

Isn't there Xiaoliu who is of high status? Why is she said to be so indispensable, as if without her, the people would die unjustly!

But little Yinxun, who was on the pirate ship, could not disobey the order and could only get up early and work late to share the joys and sorrows with her elder sister.

Princess Yinxun discovered that since she had dark circles under her eyes, her elder sister's eyes looked at her much gentler.

As the eldest princess, it is impossible for her not to know the Minister of War.

I was stunned when I saw the man being brought over. Even if he had committed a crime, shouldn't he be sent to the Dali Temple?

After listening to the soldiers who brought him in to tell him about his crimes.

"......"

She held back her laughter and pulled out the handkerchief that was covering Guo Yang's mouth.

When Guo Yang leaned over to thank him, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahahaha goose goose goose goose!"

Guo Yang, who was halfway through his worship, said: "......"

Are all people with the surname Bei so annoying?

Yin Xun finished laughing, covered his stomach, and kindly reminded: "Minister Guo, your collar is untied."

Summer clothes were thin to begin with, and when Guo Yang looked down, he discovered that half of his chest was exposed.

He hurriedly closed his collar.

Shit! The princess actually saw me naked.

......etc.

Ahhhh! He’s not married yet!!

On the second day, Shu Lingshi, who found out that he had really arrested his top boss and put him in jail, wanted to apologize under the mocking eyes of his colleagues.

The results are not visible.

Guo Yang only said one sentence: "He was loyal to his duty by not admitting my fault, but he was selfish and persuaded the female soldiers to withdraw, which was his fault."

"Tell him to find the two girls who wanted to join the army yesterday, otherwise we will settle all old and new scores together!"

Shu Lingshi had no choice but to go around the city in dejected search of the two girls he had persuaded to go back.

But how can you find a needle in a haystack? You can only use all your wealth to hunt for it.

Finally he found two of them, and had to help them resist the obstruction of the people around them, and personally took the people over intactly, only then was he able to keep his official position.

This time the commotion was so big that it even changed the story.

The common people who were unaware of the previous situation thought that the court had given some special favor to women joining the army, so when a small number of soldiers were recruited the following year, there were no longer any women soldiers to be seen.

Many families sent their wives and daughters here.

Bei Jingchu only heard the news once and then passed it over.

Anyway, it's beautiful.

Bei Jingchu found an opportunity to confer titles on Xu Xinshu and others.

Except for herself, everyone, including her disciples, was very happy to give out titles.

With these people around, Dai Viet could be rich in resources, support its people, and withstand war.

Bei Jingchu's attitude influenced the entire court, and everyone knew that His Majesty attached great importance to the merits of these studies.

It is not about thinking that everything else is inferior, only reading is superior.
