Seiwa

Shen Xuan got off his horse in front of the former Prince Ning's mansion, and happened to meet Yang Duo who was walking out of the mansion.

"My lord."

Yang Duo clasped his fists, moved aside, Shen Xuan handed the whip to the guard, waved the cloak with one hand, and said in return: "Commander Yang."

The same tall and tall, handsome and tall.

It also has the same evil spirit that makes people want to retreat three feet.

Dingguogong's personal guards got used to it, and the Jinyi guards who followed Yang Duo also got used to it. Only the frontier soldiers guarding the palace had stiff hands and feet, and their scalps were numb, and it was difficult for them to move.

Subconsciously rubbing his arms, why does it seem to be colder?

Shen Xuan was summoned to come, Yang Duo had some important business to do, after seeing the ceremony, without much exchange of greetings, the former took out his waist badge and entered the palace, while the latter took the reins and got on his horse.

The horse neighed, its hooves splashed the snow, and it galloped towards the city gate.The black cloak fluttered with the wind, bringing a bone-piercing wind.

Walking up to Shibi, Shen Xuan stopped suddenly.

The Commander of Jin Yiwei is here, the emperor ordered the army to delay leaving the fortress, and then hastily recalled him. Could it be that something happened in the south?

In the Nuan Pavilion of the Chengyun Hall, Meng Qinghe stood with his head bowed under the hall, and reported to Zhu Di every word of his conversation with Qiliege.Wala and Jurchen are mentioned more emphatically.

"That's all for Wala, Jurchen?"

Zhu Di looked at Meng Qinghe suspiciously, very puzzled.

The Jurchen cavalry is indeed good at fighting, but with the number of Jurchen tribe alone, Duoyan Fu Yu Taining's three guards, dispatching one of them, can completely subdue them.Need so much thought and effort?

It is not feasible to tell everything that happened in history.If one is not good, it will be treated as a monster.Meng Qinghe could only try to take risks, and let Emperor Yongle realize that the threat from Liaodong may not necessarily come from the grassland.

"Self-mutilation and division, Oala Tatars lived in the grasslands, Wuliangha nomadic Liaodong, Hongwu Dynasty attached, guarding the door for our Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is a sage, martial arts are world-class, and Weiyuan is far away. Wuliangha bowed his head and obeyed." Suddenly, the topic changed, "But there is no absolute. If there is someone like Annan Li, who is born rebellious, although he can't shake me to the cornerstone, he will eventually plant disaster."

Zhu Di fell into contemplation, and Meng Qinghe continued to work hard, "Jurchen was born in the white mountains and black waters. They are brave and brutal. They are a powerful tribe. They often plunder people, enslave them, or use them as combat power. If things go on like this, they will not harm the Tartars. Although the imperial court set up soldiers and civilians in Liaodong The commanding officer, who is assigned the official position of the head of the tribe, will always be dissatisfied, such as the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, he is an ambitious person. Be on guard and don't relax."

Strictly speaking, these remarks have crossed the line, and are even more alarmist and suspected of disrupting social stability.For another person, if Emperor Yong Le is in a bad mood, he will 100% drag him out, and he will go to Jinyi Prison if he doesn't behead his head.

With all the big hats buckled, not to mention that Meng Qinghe is just a small first-class uncle, if he were the Duke of the state, he still couldn't eat and walk around.

Fortunately, Meng Qinghe was classified as one of his own by Zhu Di early on, and he cherished his talents, and his tolerance for him was far beyond that of ordinary courtiers.

Thinking about the several long conversations with fellow Dao Yan, Emperor Yong Le was not annoyed, but frowned deeply, thinking about the "hidden dangers" mentioned in Meng Qinghe's words.

After a long time, Zhu Dicai said: "What you said is indeed reasonable."

Emperor Yong Le was not a reckless man, otherwise there would be no such thing as "King Yan is good at planning".

He knew very well that the neighbors to the north had always been a serious threat to the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect that the humble Jurchen would also pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

Tatar Wala, pull one and beat the other, until they are convinced.

Wuliangha, I have always used big sticks of sweet dates together, and the effect has always been good.

If it weren't for the consideration of Wu Liangha's role in the border, Zhu Di would allow the strong men to smuggle?It is impossible to think about it.

As for Jurchen, how should I deal with it?

beat?Not worth it at this stage.

pull?Which one should we win over?

"According to Qing's opinion, can Wu Liangha suppress Jurchen?"

"One of them." Meng Qing said peacefully, "I think that the Liaodong capital is far away from the Jurchen ministries and it is not easy to manage. You can set up another capital in the extreme north, and the imperial court will send the palm seal officer, other officers, and half of the frontier Jurchen. And Xu Nuzhen’s various ministries sent the sons of their chiefs to Beijing Guozijian, or to study Confucianism. They taught them the honor of being a subject of the Ming Dynasty, following the example of Hami Zhongshun Wang Tuotuo..."

Before I finished speaking, there was an eunuch outside the hall to report, please see Duke Ding.

"Xuan'er is back?" Zhu Di's expression lifted.

Meng Qinghe was a little surprised, he really didn't know that Shen Xuan was recalled to Daning.

The closer you are to the Son of Heaven, the fewer channels you have to get information.Jin Yiwei and the eunuch who served Zhu Di had to keep a certain distance.

There's nothing wrong with being careful.

No one wants to arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

Even if Emperor Yong Le didn't become suspicious, Hu Guang and others who followed him still worried Meng Qinghe.

However, if there is a real situation, King Han and King Zhao will not sit idly by.Now, he is the Hanwang faction stamped by the emperor. There are good and bad things about this matter. Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.At least life safety is more guaranteed.

With no background, the relationship with Shen Xuan cannot be made public, and the title of fan of the King of Han can be more or less bluffing.

The warmer door was pushed open, and the cold wind with crushed snow was swept in.

After the cold wind, it was Ding Guogong who still did not conceal his evil spirit with his brocade and jade belt.

"Chen Chen Xuan, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The big cloak was left outside the Nuan Pavilion, and snowflakes fell on the black gauze head.

When the edict was delivered to the Xuanfu, Shen Xuan immediately led his bodyguards to set off. Along the way, the road was not blocked by heavy snow, and he almost never rested.

"stand up."

Zhu Di had a smile on his face, and his tone was a little gentle.

"Where are the places in Xuanfu, are there any signs of Tartars invading the border?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Tatars were spotted on a ranger a month ago. The Duke of Wei ordered the whole army to be alert and sent cavalry to patrol day and night. After a battle on the Kerulun River, the Tatars retreated to the extreme north. On the way, they met King Walashunning and Hami King Zhongshun intercepted, and the scattered troops did not know how many cavalry. Only Alutai and Ma'erhazan were preserved without too much loss. If troops were sent at this time to reach their headquarters, they would not dare to say that they had accomplished their merits in one battle. , near Tatar, five years to keep peace."

After Shen Xuan's words fell, Meng Qinghe was very excited, and wanted to copy the knife himself and go to the battlefield with the Duke.

Since Jing Nan, it is difficult to have the opportunity to follow the Duke of the country to pick up the leaks.During the conquest of Annan, he also stayed in Pingxiang with Cheng Guogong to recover from his illness. Although he gained a lot, he also left a lot of regrets.

As a military commander, even if he is only half-baked, he should take a walk on the battlefield if he has nothing to do.If you can't enter the center, you will have more capital and materials when you walk around the periphery and teach the three-headed body.Otherwise, if one hundred thousand reasons are suppressed, he will most likely be like the king of Han, wanting to run when Zhu Zhanhe opens his mouth.

"I know what you said is true, but," Emperor Yong Le frowned, sighed, and handed out the note from Yang Duo, "Let's have a look."

"Yes."

Shen Xuan took the note, and after reading the content on it, his expression darkened instantly.

Meng Qinghe glanced at it and frowned.

Jiaozhi Jianding rebellion, Jiaozhi Dusi is not good for suppressing rebellion.The rebels entrenched in the mountains, supported the pseudo-Chen royal family, spread rumors, and harassed the officers and soldiers.By September, Congkang and Shanghong had responded.

Meng Qing and Ting had never heard of who Jian Ding was.

Before the conquest of the army division, there were not one out of ten Li's rebels.Fortunately, he survived, or was absorbed by the army, or hired by a businessman to farm.With the imperial salary and a way to make money, the full-fledged rebels rebelled.

Even if there is going to be a rebellion, it shouldn't be now.

Jiaozhi was newly established, and Emperor Yongle issued decrees one after another, focusing on Fusui for the local common people.In order to stabilize the place and broadcast kindness, he selected talents from Jiaozhi twice, and went to the Central Plains to study and become an official.Most of the local natives are proud to belong to the Ming Dynasty.

Comprehensively, the Ming Dynasty can be called "benevolence and righteousness".

Compared with what Annan did to Champa and its neighbors, Emperor Yongle could win the XXX Peace Prize of the fifteenth century.

In this case, the rebels are likely to be mobs, and the supported Chen royal family may not be credible.

I really want to be a king, why didn't I come out when the Ming Dynasty was looking for someone with great fanfare?

Worried about being snapped off by Ming Dynasty?Anyone with a normal mind should know that the possibility of rebellion and loss of life is higher.

The Ming army at this time did not cause dissatisfaction throughout Jiaozhi as it did in history.Hastily raised the flag and rebelled, what else could be the end other than courting death?

This kind of "intelligence" and "uniqueness" should have a lot in common with Tatar's new Khan Ben Yashili.

"There is chaos in Jiaozhi, and Japanese pirates are found along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is definitely not a good opportunity to use troops in the desert at this time."

"Your Majesty summoned his ministers to come, is it a matter of Jiaozhi?"

"Yes. If you lead the army to conquer Annan, you should be familiar with the local conditions." Zhu Di said, "The Cochin capital is useless. I want to transfer the officers and troops of the guards from Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou to counter the rebellion. From your point of view, who can be appointed as the commander-in-chief? official?"

Shen Xuan pondered for a moment, and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, I think that Duke Mu Sheng of the State of Guizhou is good at strategy, mature and prudent, and has guarded the southwest for many years, so he can be the commander in chief."

"Why not use Han Guan?"

"I dare not lie to your majesty. From my point of view, the governor of Han can defend the territory, but he may not be able to fight against the rebellion."

"That's it, as you said." Zhu Di said, "Deploy [-] troops to Jiaozhi, and Mu Sheng will be the general who conquers the barbarians. Who can be the deputy?"

"The minister recommends Zhang Fu, Marquis of Xincheng."

"But there are others?"

"The governor Liu Sheng led the water army and made great contributions to the conquest of Annanli, and he can also be a deputy."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Di accepted Shen Xuan's suggestion.

"As you said."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Meng Qinghe made the set boards for a long time, thinking that nothing would happen to him.Unexpectedly, after Emperor Yongle and Shen Xuan ordered the general to counter the rebellion with a few words, their eyes suddenly turned and fell on him.

"Jane Ding's thieves are really hateful, and not killing them is not enough to appease the anger. There should be a call to action when the army goes out, and I, Yiqing, will write to you."

He will write the anti-insurgency essay?

After confirming that there was no room for negotiation, Meng Qinghe could only accept the decree, saying: "I must do my best to live up to the holy will."

The subtext is, don't stab those who participated in the rebellion so that one Buddha ascends to heaven, two Buddhas are born, regret coming to this world, and write his name upside down!

Zhu Di was very satisfied.

Shen Xuan didn't say anything, just glanced at him with deep meaning in his eyes.

Meng Qinghe first came later, and two seconds later, he had an epiphany, wishing he could scratch his head and hit the wall.

Why is he so smart? !

When it was time to understand the thoughts of the Duke, his head became a gourd.When you shouldn't ask for guilt, you can get through without clicking.

With so many civil servants accompanying him, five or six of them came from the Imperial Academy alone, and he was given a military officer to write the proclamation. Where should the civil officials put their faces?Obviously setting up a target to crazily increase the hatred value.

The Holy Will is so, what can he do?

Walking out of the Nuan Pavilion of the Chengyun Hall, Uncle Meng immediately squatted in the corner to draw circles.

It's not easy to work for Lao Zhu's family!

Looking up at the sky, how many times has he expressed such emotion?

Being depressed, a big hand covered his cheek.

"My lord?"

The next moment, the hand in the sleeve was held, the strength was not strong, but the familiar heat made people not want to break away.

"Why is it so cold? Why don't you wear more clothes?"

"After winter, I've always been like this. No matter how much I wear, it's useless." Meng Qinghe grinned, "Doesn't the Duke know?"

Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, but there was no change in his expression, but Meng Qinghe was keenly aware that the Duke was angry.

"That..." opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to remedy it.

The eunuch brought the cloak, Shen Xuan took it, shook out one arm, and put it directly on Meng Qinghe.

Grandpa Guo is tall and has long legs, while Uncle Meng is not tall enough, so his cloak was dragged to the ground.

"My lord, I brought a cloak."

"kindness?"

Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows and narrowed his black eyes, Uncle Meng immediately silenced his voice.

Shut up and everything will be fine.

The Duke was satisfied, and pulled up the neckline of the cloak with his slender fingers. The black leather rope was lined with a touch of jade-like white, making people unable to take their eyes off it.

Should it be said that the second generation of Hou is uniquely endowed?

Regardless of the tiger's mouth and the cocoon on the palm, this really doesn't look like a general's hand.

When Shen Xuan leaned over, Meng Qinghe's eyes fell on his face again.

Black hair, sword eyebrows, deep eyes.

When holding the sword, the evil spirit is all over the body, but when it is quiet, it comes out of the dust like a banished fairy.

No matter how much you see, you still can't help but be dazzled.

Uncle Meng didn't move, Duke Ding stood up straight, looked at Meng who was obviously distracted, his heart moved slightly, and a smile broke out.

"Back to God."

Two words, successfully woke up Meng Qinghe from his addiction.After waking up, I had the urge to hit the wall again.

Covering his face silently, it's been a few years, and he hasn't seen any future, he really has no face to face people.

Ding Guogong was in a good mood, and led Meng Qinghe all the way, and was led to the wing room by the eunuch.

Uncle Meng, who was in self-reflection, didn't even notice what the two looked like at the moment.

The guards looked at their noses, noses, and hearts, calm and composed.I've seen a lot, it's not worth being surprised

The accompanying officials who met did not show any surprise.

In ancient times, there were close friends who fell asleep at their feet, what Duke Dingguo and Uncle Xingning did, it is not worth reading a book at all.What's more, with the abilities of these two people, it's hard to say who is the unlucky one if they really dare to pick stabs behind their backs.

The wing room Shen Xuan arranged was right next door to Meng Qinghe.

The eunuch retreated, and the Duke directly pulled him into his room.

"My lord, I'll go back."

"No need."

The brazier had just been lit, and it was still a little cold.Shen Xuan suddenly picked up Meng Qinghe, walked into the inner room, bypassed a landscape screen, and put him on the couch.

Meng Qinghe was uncomfortable, and wanted to get up, but was held down.

"do not move."

The cloak on his body was untied and hung on the screen, followed by official uniforms, cotton robes, and boots.

The eunuch brought hot water, the Duke twisted the veil with his own hands, and wiped Meng Qinghe's cheeks and hands, as if touching a piece of exquisite porcelain

Until the ankle was held and immersed in slightly hot water, Uncle Meng decisively emitted hydrogen gas from his head and was stunned.

"Your Highness..."

"kindness?"

Shen Xuan was pinching Meng Qinghe's calf, and when he pressed his thumb somewhere, there was a cold hiss above his head, and there was no sound.

Meng almost fell down, but the Duke's mouth curled up.The warm palm covered the entire body, from the ankle to the knee, the cold feeling gradually receded, leaving only bursts of warmth.

"Better?"

"what?"

"Is it still cold?"

Shen Xuan raised his head, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows, Meng Qinghe suddenly wanted to pounce again.

"Twelve Lang?"

"……fine."

The water was getting colder, Meng Qinghe was lying on the couch in only his middle clothes and a quilt.It was not too late, but the drowsiness began to surge.

The melting of ice and snow will bring joy and warmth to people.

Grandpa Guo is like this, but it makes his heart twist into a ball.

For the first time in two lifetimes, someone treated him like this.

His nose was a little blocked, he closed his eyes hard, and the familiar Leng Xiang surrounded him behind him.

"Twelve Lang."

"..."

Without making a sound, she turned over, stretched out her arms, clasped Shen Xuan's shoulders forcefully, raised her head, and blocked his lips hard.

Born in two lifetimes, the heart is finally at peace, this is him!

In November of the sixth year of Yongle, there was chaos in Jiaozhi, and the emperor decreed that Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qian, should be the commander-in-chief and wear the seal of General Yi.Xincheng Marquis Zhang Fu, Governor Liu was promoted to deputy, raised [-] troops, and entered Jiaozhi to quell the chaos.

In the same month, Bo Chenxuan of Ping Jiang led a boat force to pacify Japanese pirates ashore and beheaded more than [-] Japanese pirates. The Japanese general sent envoys to pay tribute and reported the death of former general Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

In December of the same year, the capital of North Korea fell to the Ming army, and Chen Ji, the grandson of Duke Jing, entered the city first.The King of Joseon escapes from Hanyang pretending to be a commoner.The former king appeared on the table and re-emerged as king.

Heavy snow fell continuously in northern Xinjiang, and the conquest army gathered at the frontier guards. Wei Guogong ordered that the date of the expedition be postponed to February next year.

The strong men of Wuliangha tracked the Tatars into Mobei, and while sending news to Daning, they did not forget to suppress the Jurchens.Haha, before the leader of the Jurchen could show his ambition, he was buried in a pit dug by someone.

The army did not go out, Duke Ding stayed in Daning, and Uncle Meng lived a very comfortable life.

When it came to the middle of December, Emperor Yongle distributed the annuity as usual.As an honorable man, Meng Qinghe naturally received a lot of rewards.What he never expected was that Meng Qingyi also got a reward.

With one imperial decree, Meng Qingyi jumped from a commoner to the commander of Beijing's five cities.

People sit at home, and officials come from heaven.After receiving the order, Meng Qingyi was completely dumbfounded.

Hearing the news, Meng Qinghe was also a little silly.

The Duke of the State said with a smile: "Where the prince or concubine of the county has no official father, he will be assigned the commander of the army and horses, the deputy commander, regardless of the affairs. If he has no father, he can be given to his elder brother. , Prince Lubi." As he spoke, he noticed that something was wrong with Meng Qinghe's expression, and asked suspiciously, "Twelve Lang?"

Meng Qing and the whole person are in Sparta.

In the past, the queen rewarded money according to the duke's wife, and now the son rewards officials according to the princess.

The first husband and wife of the Ming Dynasty really acted extraordinary.
