Great Ming National Teacher

Since the day when he was young, Zhu Youjian’s gifts have been sent in a steady stream, including old ginseng from Korea, bird’s nest from the south, a complete set of top four treasures of the study, and a mink fur cloak as black as jade. , carved out of top-quality jade to make Kui Niu Pei, with food, clothing and clothes, the little eunuch ran back and forth almost every day.

Every time Li Yunya returned gifts, sometimes it was a set of thermal underwear, sometimes it was a diary with a lock. According to the cognition of this era, the most expensive thing he gave was a glass teapot with a stainless steel teapot inside. A tea net with four small glasses, each with a plastic base. According to the little eunuch, Zhu Youjian was very happy to see this teapot, and now he uses it for drinking tea every day.

On the first day of the first lunar month, according to Zhu Youjian's decree, Li Yunya was granted the title of "Feng Yuan Daoist", and he specially bestowed a handle of black jade Ruyi and a green jade seal.

Zhu Youjian still sealed Li Yunya's Taoist status. After hesitating for two months, he felt that it would be a blasphemy for Li Yunya to let Li Yunya enter the court as an official. He originally planned to let him lead Taoism in the world, but he felt that he I'm afraid I'm impatient with ordinary things, and this matter is too big. After all, Li Yunya, a Taoist priest, is too far away from the Taoist priests in the world, so I want to wait for him to meet in the palace after the Chinese New Year before asking his opinion.

Zhu Youjian also made a special decree, endowing the white jade with a special meaning, allowing Li Yunya to hold this wish, and hit the mansions of the gods and gods, corrupt officials and courtiers, and demons and ghosts. The sword is even better.

Li Yunya knows that Zhu Youjian is afraid that he will suffer in front of the eunuchs, because there is no way to give him an official position, he can only use this method, and he can't use this thing to make troublesome people beat up courtiers, so it's a bit pampered Proud.

But in fact, the biggest reason why Zhu Youjian gave him this Ruyi is that he didn't go to the palace to see him for two months in a row, and he didn't know who to tell him when he had something in his heart. Resentment, worrying if there is another eunuch maliciously obstructing, I ask every few days, making all the little eunuchs silent and walking carefully.

Now that he is given this Ruyi, no eunuch will dare to stop him when he enters the palace, otherwise he will be blatantly deceiving the emperor.

Li Yunya actually misses Zhu Youjian a little bit, but he is devoted to the factory, and wants to make some achievements before going to see Zhu Youjian, but he is also afraid that there are many rules and more people in the palace under the New Year, and he is impatient See, I want to wait until the first lunar month is out before going. Of course, he still gave him a New Year's gift. During the Lantern Festival, he even asked the little eunuch to bring back two bags of black sesame glutinous rice balls that he bought in the past.

After February [-], Li Yunya came to find Eunuch Wei again, because he heard that during the Spring Festival, Zhu Youjian promoted most of the members of the eunuch party and gave him a certificate of exemption from death, regardless of the crime. No matter how many crimes he has committed, except treason, he will not die.

Now Wei Zhongxian is completely at ease, believing that Zhu Youjian will not move him, and will continue to rely on him instead. However, Li Yunya knows that this is a sign that Zhu Youjian is going to do something. Eunuch Wei is not far from the day of his downfall. Before that, get more benefits from Eunuch Wei, otherwise, when Wei Zhongxian dies, his things will be nationalized in name, but in fact they will be cheaper than the moths below.

Wei Zhongxian was paralyzed by Zhu Youjian. When Li Yunya left, he was listening to an opera at home. He was quite happy when he heard that the money-seeker had come again. As long as the emperor still uses him, it’s nothing to give up some money. Who would have thought that as soon as they met, Li Yunya opened his mouth like a lion and asked him for 200 million taels of silver!

We must know that the annual fiscal revenue of the whole country is about 400 million vehicles, and Li Yunya needs half of it!

Wei Zhongxian was dumbfounded at the time, and his children, grandchildren, and minions were also fooled. They thought they had heard it wrong. For the revenge of electricity, Wei Zhongxian yelled at them and asked Li Yunya to drink tea and rest first, and he brought a group of confidants inside to discuss.

After a while Wei Zhongxian did not come out again, Cui Chengxiu and others were divided into two factions, one group sang bad faces, and the other group sang red faces, and promised to only give 50 taels, Li Yunya would not eat soft and hard, oil and salt would not be eaten, and if he was bitten to death, he must pay 200 million taels two.

After struggling for a long time, the final price was 130 million taels. Everyone was excited, and Wei Zhongxian felt heartbroken, but he was still a little relieved, because it meant that the little emperor would really not touch him anymore. He just spent money to eliminate disasters. It won’t take long. You can earn it back.

Gold bars, bricks, and silver ingots were placed all over the floor, and Li Yunya took them away one by one. After taking the money, he didn't pull it down, and asked Wei Zhongxian for land: "I was ordered by the emperor to train a million soldiers. After the spring, I will expand the army. Now that A piece of wasteland is simply not enough, please ask Eunuch Wei to bring out some land, so that I can train soldiers on it."

Wei Zhongxian is old and in poor health. He almost spit out old blood when he heard this, but he gave up all the money and didn't care about the land anymore, but there must be no land that can hold a million soldiers. The [-] mu of land is divided into more than ten pieces. There is a piece in the southern suburbs of the capital, which is next to the place where Li Yunya is currently training soldiers. Most of the downfalls were basically on the edge of Hebei Province.

Li Yunya didn't let it go: "I heard that Eunuch Wei has a hot spring village in Xishan. To build Fengyuan Palace in this place, Eunuch Wei's manor is the most suitable, but I don't know if Eunuch Wei is willing to bear the pain and give up his love?"

Wei Zhongxian's Xishan Manor occupies a very large area, with mountains and rivers, a beautiful environment, and well-maintained. It was just completed last year. Wei Zhongxian loved it so much that Cui Chengxiu and others couldn't make the decision, so they came in to ask Wei Zhongxian for instructions.

Wei Zhongxian rubbed his forehead and waved his hands: "Give it to him! Give it to him! Hurry up and let him go!"

Li Yunya put away a box of land deeds, and left Wei Mansion contentedly, thinking that since he had entered the city, he would go to see Zhu Youjian.

Seeing him coming, Zhu Youjian was also very happy, and took out the tributes from various places during the Chinese New Year for Li Yunya to taste. The two of them closed the door and talked alone as usual. With ten thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand mu of land, Zhu Youjian felt resentful and happy at the same time. When asked about Li Yunya's military training, Li Yunya calculated the time: "I guess it will take until June for the military academy to be fully completed. You build a palace, and you go to inspect it in July and August, just to avoid the summer heat."

Zhu Youjian couldn't wait, but he expressed his understanding: "Yunya trains the heavenly soldiers by means of the heavenly realm, which is naturally different."

Li Yunya inquired about the Ministry of War: "A few days ago I went to the Ministry of War to complete the formalities, and I heard that the left servant of the Ministry of War has been replaced by Yuan Chonghuan?"

Zhu Youjian was unexpectedly surprised: "Yunya has also heard of this person?" Seeing Li Yunya nodding, he talked about Yuan Chonghuan's great achievements while eating duck letters, "This person was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli. During the years he fought against Houjin in Liaodong, and made many military exploits. Tianqi successfully defended Ningyuan for six years, and the old slaves of Jiannu were injured and died soon after. The military and government are corrupt, and only this person can keep Liaodong intact."

Li Yunya shook his head: "Although this person is good at military affairs, he is not a marshal. He is at odds with the general. I heard that he and Man Gui are very dirty. If you send him, although Ning Jin will be safe, but There will be disasters in the future."

Zhu Youjian liked Yuan Chonghuan very much, and patiently told Li Yunya the benefits of Yuan Chonghuan. Li Yunya only said that Yuan Chonghuan was not good, and Zhu Youjian was a little unhappy. Why is the person he likes so useless in Li Yunya?He asked a little angrily: "If Yuan Chonghuan can't do it, can Yunya recommend me a better candidate?"

"Sun Chengzong!" Li Yunya said, "The Ningjin Line of Defense was planned and established by this old man. The capitals of the two generations of Jiannu's chieftains were here. "

Sun Chengzong was the greatest military strategist in the late Ming Dynasty. The Ningjin line of defense he created was not captured until the Ming Dynasty perished and the Qing Dynasty failed. Nurhachi lost his life in front of this line of defense. , had to take a detour from Mongolia, and even Man Qing himself had to admit that if the Ming Dynasty could reuse this person and put him in Liaodong, Man Qing would never be able to enter the customs.

Sun Chengzong also served as the teacher of Emperor Tianqi. During the Tianqi Dynasty, the only courtier who could not be moved by Wei Zhongxian was Sun Chengzong.

Zhu Youjian naturally knew about this person, but he still favored Yuan Chonghuan in his heart: "I'll take note of this matter, and we'll discuss it later."

Li Yunya wanted to say that Yuan Chonghuan would kill Mao Wenlong, but he did not dare to make a prediction lightly, because human affairs are not comparable to natural conditions. For example, if he said that Shaanxi is drought this year, it will definitely be drought, but there are slight changes in personnel affairs, such as changes in time, By mistake, he may deviate from the original track. Once his prediction is not accurate, his position in Zhu Youjian's heart will be shaken, and even if it is reversed, Zhu Youjian will think that he is lying to him. It's over.

Zhu Youjian is very smart, very honest, and very emotional. If you trust someone, you will give them complete trust. But when you are deceived, you will be very excited. When you are excited, you can do anything. .

Just like he believed in Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan told him in history that Liaodong could be settled in five years. Zhu Youjian fully believed that if he asked for money, he would give him power. It is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of a war zone in later generations, and also possesses great civil rights.

As a result, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong in a coercive order, and because of a misjudgment, he asked Huang Taiji to detour into the customs and fight under the city of Beijing. deception.

Li Yunya hesitated again and again, and did not say anything about Yuan Chonghuan's future. He has been in the Ming Dynasty for half a year. Under the chain reaction, many things are different from what was originally predicted. In the court, Zhu Youjian did not adopt the strategy he suggested to support the Donglin Party to check and balance the eunuch party, but repeatedly professed his favor to the eunuch party and paralyzed Wei Zhongxian. Then what will be the fate of Yuan Chonghuan in the future, and will he kill Mao Wenlong? , only God knows.

In the end, the two of them broke up unhappy, and seeing Li Yunya's leaving back, Zhu Youjian clenched his fists silently: "Yunya, just watch, I will use my own method to get rid of the eunuchs. It can also control Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty will not perish, and I will definitely not become the king of subjugation!"
