Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice
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 there so much traffic ahead?
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 bystander and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
As a fellow spectator, the man enthusiastically introduced to him: "The court is recruiting soldiers."
"In the past, we recruited very few people every year, and it was hard to grab the opportunity. This time, we recruited so many people at once, it must be very lively!"
The man even beat his chest and stamped his feet, sighing, "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, "Sir, 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 guy doesn't know how to do anything. In public, even if the man really has an idea, he doesn't dare to accept it and retreats righteously.
Even so, Guo Yang was shocked and realized how popular the recruitment quota was.
He continued to ask the melon-eating old man: "Brother, I remember that in the past, no one wanted to come to the conscription, and the court had to arrest people."
"Why are you guys grabbing it now?"
The old man looked at him like a fool and said with disdain: "Of course you hide from the bad things, and you have to rob the good things!"
"Oh, now this isn't a good treat!"
"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 little 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. From now on, we can tell others that we are a family of scholars!"
He gestured with great excitement: "I saw that young man when he went home to visit his family. When he left, he was still as thin as a little monkey, as thin as skin and bones. He came back less than two years ago."
"Huh! As strong as a mountain."
"They say the food in the military camp is really good. There's meat in every meal, and everyone is rushing to get it."
"I heard that they are not afraid of death, and the compensation money for their families 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 it can naturally give better things 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 work 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 ran over from behind, panting, and tried to hold 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 go to cook. There are so many men! Why fight without eating?"
The man looked embarrassed, but still wanted to pull her, scolding her: "The old man can cook, he has a kitchen, there is no need for you, a woman, to go."
"What's it like to hang out with a bunch of men?"
Other people around who were watching the fun also started pointing and talking, and some even whistled in a vulgar manner.
"Haha, isn't it good to like being around men?"
"If a few more women go, 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 beaten into prostitutes who were not allowed to exist in Dai Viet.
Another lady who was standing in the queue showed some signs of retreat and turned around to leave.
When the woman heard this, she became even angrier.
The table was slammed so loudly that even the clerk who was recording the documents jumped back in shock.
She first said angrily to her husband, "When we women are asked to cook at home, you say you are clumsy and can't cook. So? You are 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 made the sarcastic remarks: "If you say that again, the officials will arrest you!"
The people around were stunned. Usually, it was because someone was surrounded by people and talked about in a gossipy way, with some gossip that came from nowhere, and the person involved would be so ashamed that he would die.
How come this time there's a shameless person here who's not afraid at all?
The woman was good at debating with the scholars and left everyone speechless. She turned around and grinned at the clerk, then reported her name, age, hometown, etc.
The scribe did not write anything, but said with some difficulty: "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 people lining up are so crowded outside that there's no way to get through. They definitely don't hire women anymore."
The husband, who had been taking a break, was also ignited and shouted, "That's right, you already have a man, what do they want a troublesome woman like you for? 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 from her family 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 in the Hongwenguan, and he knows His Majesty's temperament well.
It's understandable that he didn't notice the fact that there was no female soldier. But if someone reported it, it would 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 through the crowd and rushed forward.
"Give it! Give it!"
"Excuse me! Excuse me, excuse me!"
While squeezing in, he secretly hated himself for 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 serious and polite person, he would not be able to accept his own disrespect and would have covered his face and ran away.
But he didn't care about his appearance anymore, and said solemnly to the clerk who was carrying his own agenda: "It is clearly written in black and white on the notice that this lady meets the requirements."
"Your job is to record and submit those who meet the requirements. How can you be selfish and persuade people to go home?"
"Hurry up and write it down!"
This reminder was even very mild, 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 had no 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.
Because of his low-ranking position, he was ordered around in the Ministry of War.
Now, when he was outside, being flattered by a group of people and his self-confidence was extremely inflated, a young man suddenly appeared and accused him of being wrong, humiliating him in front of everyone.
The secretary was furious: "Disrupting public order and obstructing public affairs."
"Someone! Take down this thief!"
Unexpectedly, Guo Yang was a little panicked and hurriedly explained: "No, I am the Minister of War!"
The Secretary Shi 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 court. This is simply unforgivable!"
The woman also stopped him anxiously and worriedly: "Young man, I know you have good intentions, just admit your mistake."
"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 followed His Majesty all the way from the Eastern Palace to the Ganlu Palace, and worked very hard to finally become a close minister of the king! Who else could it be but him!
Shu Lingshi sneered: "I have seen many people like you. You think we have no way to verify it, so you pretend to be someone else, and you still refuse to repent!"
He called two soldiers and ordered, "Take him to Jingzhao Prefecture!"
The Minister of War and a favorite of the Emperor, Guo Yang.
Just like that, Shui Lingling was twisted by the arm by a soldier whom she had never seen before. She was escorted to Jingzhao Prefecture through the crowd in a panic.
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 eldest sister saying, "Idle Prince? Idle Princess?"
"You're dreaming. 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 trauma I'm feeling?"
"All those who can work should work for me. Either you get double salary or nothing at all."
His Majesty the Emperor was extremely jealous of the leisurely lives of his younger brothers and sisters, except for Bei Yanyu, who was really useless, and the fifth brother, who was imprisoned for life.
She and Xiaoliu couldn't escape.
Thinking of this, Princess Yinxun felt very melancholy.
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 lie at home.
Princess Yinxun shook her head. Perhaps she had not expected that her elder sister was such a novice that she would not even spare her younger sisters.
Princess Yinxun originally wanted to resist, but was pulled aside by her elder sister for a brainwashing, oh no, a heart-to-heart 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."
"Those officials' children 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 behind them are their powerful relatives. The Jingzhao Yin will inevitably be cautious and dare not speak for the people. He may even cover up and condone them, and sell their family's favors."
She patted her shoulder with a hopeful tone: "You are the eldest princess, and your status is noble. When you go there, you can keep your mind upright and not 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 ambitions.
It took me two days to turn around.
Isn't there Xiaoliu who is of high status? Why does she make her sound so indispensable, as if without her, the people would die unjustly!
But little Yinxun, who had boarded the pirate ship, could not disobey the order and could only get up early and go to bed late to share the joys and sorrows with her elder sister.
Princess Yinxun discovered that ever since she had dark circles under her eyes, her elder sister's eyes had become much gentler when she looked at her.
As the eldest princess, it was impossible for her not to know the Minister of War.
I was stunned when I saw someone being brought in. Even if he had committed a crime, shouldn't he be sent to the Dali Temple?
After listening to the soldiers who were escorting him telling 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 laughing out loud like a goose: "Hahahahahaha 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 already thin, 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.
Ahhhhh! He’s not married yet!!
On the second day, Shu Lingshi, who found out that he had really arrested his immediate superior and put him in jail, wanted to apologize under the mocking eyes of his colleagues.
The result is not seen.
Guo Yang only said one sentence: "He did his duty faithfully 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 were interested in joining the army yesterday, otherwise we will settle all old and new scores together!"
Shu Lingshi had no choice but to go around the city looking for the two girls he had persuaded to go back.
But it is impossible to find a needle in a haystack, so he could only use all his wealth to offer a reward.
Finally he found the 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 the story was even changed.
The common people who were unaware of the previous situation thought that the court had given some special preferential treatment 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 by.
No matter what happens down there, all the accounts submitted to her must be cleaned up and made beautiful.
Bei Jingchu found an opportunity to confer titles of nobility on Xu Xinshu and others.
Except for herself, everyone including her disciples were very happy to give out titles.
With these people, 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 valued the merits of these studies.
It is not about thinking that everything else is inferior and only reading is superior.
