Seiwa

Chapter 228

In May of the eighth year of Yongle, the northern Xinjiang battle report was sent to the capital.

Contrary to the expectations of the ministers, Arutai led [-] cavalry to confront the frontier army for several days, but they did not violate the frontier, but attached themselves.

"Your Majesty, Alutai is cunning and cunning, and this may be a trick to show weakness. The inside is false, but the conspiracy is true. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The opinions of the ministers tended to be unified, and it was rare for the six ministries of the imperial court and the governor's office of the five armies to agree on their positions.

Zhu Di didn't make a decision in the court, and after he retired from the court, he immediately drew up an order, so that the internal officials were also lost, and the leaders rushed to the Xuanfu.

"Tell the King of Han that the Tartars should not be trusted. Even if they are attached, there is also the possibility of attack. However, during the spring plowing season, the swords and soldiers rise suddenly, and the smoke of the beacon blocks the sun. I am afraid that the farming time will be missed and the people's grain for a year will be lost. The two evils are the right to choose. Light, according to my will, see its authenticity, act according to the opportunity, and don't be careless. The most important thing is to protect the safety of the border and the safety of the people on the border. If things change, don't hesitate. Send the elite cavalry out of the fortress, and move before the enemy , seize the opportunity, and be invincible."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

In order to speed up the journey, Yi Shiha only took two eunuchs with him, and three lieutenants from Fusi, North Town of Jinyiwei, went with him. First, he took the waterway, passed through the territory of Shandong, and then changed to a fast horse. Cut in half.

Entering the Hejian Mansion, they happened to meet a team of newcomers who had assembled and questioned the officers and soldiers. They heard that the smoke had not been extinguished for several days, and that the Xuan Mansion had already mobilized their swords. The whole group was anxious.

"Keep going, don't stop at night!"

Yi Shiha was born in a defeated tribe in Mongolia, and was skilled in arching horses since he was a child.During the Jingnan period, he went out with Zhu Di many times.Although he did not make great achievements like Bai Yanhui, he was named by the emperor, and his military achievements are not small.Among the eunuchs who were born in Peking, their skills were not weak, and ordinary soldiers were no match for them.

"Take the hemp rope, tie the waist and legs on the horse's back. Light the torch, take a shortcut, and hurry up!"

Jin Yiwei couldn't help admiring the order, not to mention the accompanying eunuchs.

If it's a military man, it's fine, a mid-level official can do this, no wonder His Majesty reuses an eunuch from Beiping, and he can be called a man!

At this time, Meng Qing and Shen Xuan had arrived in Beijing.

The two of them went to the administrative department to report on their duties, only to find out that Xu Huizu was ill.It's not that he can't escape his illness like Cheng Guogong, but he is really bedridden.

"Wei Guogong suffered from a cold, and he didn't get recuperation. He accidentally caused an old illness."

Hearing the words of the good doctor in the Duke's Mansion, Meng Qinghe slapped his head, and hurriedly took out the pills that the envoy Zhao Yuan had rationed him, along with a prescription.

"This is a pill prepared by the envoy of Zhao Yuan of the Taiyuan Hospital. It is specially used for health maintenance. According to this prescription, the dosage can be increased or decreased as appropriate. Duke Ding also took it."

The good doctor took the prescription carefully, pondered for a while, and said several times: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"In Doctor Wang's opinion, Duke Wei can use this recipe?"

"Available. This prescription is mild, ordinary people take it, and it is also good for strengthening the body, and it is more suitable for the Duke's condition. Thank you uncle, I will prepare the medicine immediately."

Xu Huizu's condition could not wait, Dr. Wang thanked him, and left in a hurry, leaving Meng Qinghe on the spot.

Uncle Meng didn't care, he just went through the motions to visit Xu Huizu.

As each other, we should maintain a general friendship.If you get too close, you will really become "friendship", which is not good for both parties.He doesn't care about the saliva of the officials, he always thinks about Duke Ding.

Leaving Beijing Wei Guogong's mansion, Meng Qinghe first went to Dianmao at the military governor's mansion.

Because Xu Huizu was bedridden and unable to take charge, Shen Xuan took over the military training and was so busy that he didn't show up every day.

Meng Qinghe had nothing to do, took it easy and stayed at Meng Qingyi's house for a few days.To be a filial piety in front of the Meng Wang family, to discuss with Meng Qingyi about spring plowing and sowing, to inspect the fields in person, and to solve many problems.

Everything was settled, and after receiving a letter from Zhu Wang, the commander of the Daning capital, he finally decided to take action against the Daning chief envoy and the procuratorate.

After handing over the iron coupons and showing his heart to Emperor Yongle, Meng Qinghe's behavior became less scruples.

Daning's chief envoy did not act properly. From the chief envoy down, he was dedicated to fighting for power and profit, and did not do practical things. According to the collusion between the inspector and envoy, a few people in the command and envoy wavered in their positions and violated Zhu Wang's orders. The evidence They were all in Zhu Wang's hands and sent to Beijing by Jin Yiwei.

Meng Qinghe sneered, wrote it himself, and submitted the three impeachment memorials to Nanjing.

The inspector censor turned a blind eye, turned a blind eye to those who were vegetarians, and turned a blind eye to those who corrupted and harmed the people?

OK, he's coming!

Not long after the impeachment report was handed in, an earthquake occurred in the Yamen of the third department in Daning.In the yamen of the Dusi, one accomplice went to Jinyi Prison, and the other two went home to farm.The backer fell, and the faces in taxation and inspections disappeared by more than half in an instant.

Headed by Zhu Wang, the commander of the Daning capital, he sneered as he looked at his former colleagues who packed up their packages and fled in despair.

Uncle Xingning doesn't show his power, so he is really easy to bully?

I think back then, the six subjects in Nanjing were turned upside down by him, and some of them were sent to the mountains in the southwest to teach and teach.In the past two years, Uncle's behavior has become more and more stable, and he has forgotten the lessons of the early years?Really courting death!

During the emperor's northern tour, there were faint signs.Later, when a large army conquered the grassland, a war broke out, and they couldn't spare a shot, so these sneaky villains were happy for a few days.

The smart ones should stop here and erase the beginning and end as soon as possible.The previous income was enough to feed three generations.

The results of it?

Still ignorant of restraint, even through the convenience of his position, he collected black materials about his uncle's "corruption, perverting the law, and competing with the people for profit", and secretly passed on the news to Hu Guang, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.

How is it now?What should be tidied up, should be tidied up.

Do you really think that a few Hanlin jumps and jumps can dismount Lord Rabbi?

It is just a spring and autumn dream to use a mantis' arms as a cart and hit a stone with an egg.

Clearing up the third division of Daning has long been the meaning of the title.Meng Qinghe saw that Emperor Yongle had this plan long ago, so he took advantage of the trend.He knew that after clearing out a group of people, the third division of Daning was still there, and it was impossible to restore the situation where the commanding division of the capital of Daning was the only one.But it is enough to achieve the goal of "the fox pretends to be the tiger's prestige", relying on Emperor Yong Le's east wind to establish a prestige for himself.

After this incident, the new officials will definitely get rid of some "bad habits" and know what can and cannot be done.The lesson from the past is not far away. If you dare to play the tax department's idea, put nails in the mutual market and the army, which hand you stretch out, which hand you chop off!

Everything is the national treasury and the internal treasury.

Uncle Meng's position is firm, with good reasons.

At the same time that the Daning Sansi was cleared, Yi Shiha and his party arrived in Beijing.After seeing Shen Xuan, he changed to Luyin and immediately went north to Xuanfu.

Uncle Meng doesn't command soldiers, but Shen Xuan can't stay out of it.

With one order, five thousand cavalry went north, patrolling Kaipingwei to Wanquanwei.The leader of the army was Chen Ji, the grandson of Chen Heng, the Duke of Jing, who was promoted by the command of Habayashi Wei to the governor's mansion of the rear army shortly after returning from North Korea.

"Is the Duke not going?"

"No." Shen Xuan put down the official document, leaned back in the chair, held Meng Qinghe's wrist, and brushed the blue veins with his thumb, "Your Majesty intends to move the capital next year, and I agree to become the Duke of the Kingdom. It is not an order from the emperor, so I will not ask for an order anymore." Take the soldiers."

No longer in command?

In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Meng Qinghe's mind, and finally they all turned into a sigh.

She stretched out her arms to wrap around the back of Shen Xuan's neck, and for the first time, embraced him in a protective posture.

"Ziyu, I'm with you."

Shen Xuan closed his eyes, didn't move, didn't make a sound, breathing lightly.

Meng Qinghe straightened his back and ran his fingers through his black hair. It's a good thing the Duke didn't wear a cape... Well, he shouldn't be distracted at this moment.

Outside the window, the sun was setting, and the red light reflected the clouds in the warm sky.

Suncheon in May is still cold and cold, only the embrace of the people in front of us can warm each other.

"Twelve Lang."

"kindness?"

Meng Qinghe didn't want to move, even if his feet were numb, he didn't want to move, he didn't want to move.

There is a single sound in the nose, which seems to be an unconscious response.

The next moment, his arms were suddenly empty, he opened his eyes, and suddenly his body left the ground.

Not surprised, Meng Qinghe smiled.

Embracing Shen Xuan's shoulders, glanced at the high stack on the desk, the meaning is very clear, don't worry about it?

Shen Xuan hooked his lips, tilted his head, and blocked Meng Qinghe's mouth severely.

do not care.

go with him.

"Don't worry about tomorrow's matter?"

The sound bypassed the screen and quickly became indistinct.

"... Twelve Langs are here, Xuan has no time..."

Slumped on the couch, looking at the roof of the tent, Meng Qinghe firmly clasped Shen Xuan's shoulders, if that's the case, let's go crazy for a while...

High-ranking officials are generously paid, and the emperor favors them.

Wealth, status, glory.

In the end, the only thing you can have is this person in front of you.The only thing that can hold it is these hands.

In May of the eighth year of Yongle, at Renxu, Bo Xingning asked for leave due to an incident, and Duke Ding was absent from work for no reason.

The next day, Bo Xingning continued to ask for leave, and Duke Ding continued to be absent from work.

The next day, Uncle Xingning was still on leave, but Duke Ding was absent from work.

When the Xuanfu battle report was delivered, Alutai indeed surrendered wholeheartedly. In order to gain the trust of the Ming Dynasty, he spared no effort to send his eldest son and second son to Beijing Guozijian to study.In other words, parent-child is the quality.

This does not mean that the frontier issue is resolved, because Wala suddenly became dishonest.

Mahamu's attitude is unknown for the time being.It is an indisputable fact that Xianyi Wang Taiping led [-] cavalry to invade the border and had a small-scale battle with Xuanfu officers and soldiers.

"Waa invaded the frontier, and the Xuanfu frontier army went to battle, beheading more than a hundred and capturing three hundred."

When the battle report arrived in Nanjing, Emperor Yongle was furious and ordered Wenyuan Pavilion to draft an edict to send [-] troops to conquer Oala.

"Wala wolf is ambitious, reneges on what he says, violates our border, and I personally lead the army to conquer!"

The emperor's personal conquest?

The ministers looked at each other, how long did it last, and they were going north again?

Looking at the generals of the court, Cheng Guo announced that he would not be sick, Wei Guogong was bedridden, and Ding Guogong was guarding Beijing, and he couldn't leave him for half a step.

Duke Qi...it's better to stay at home to grow flowers and read books, it's better to cultivate one's temperament.

In April, Xincheng Hou led troops to Jiaozhi, not to suppress the rebellion, but because Laos and Siam had been unstable recently, and the Ming Dynasty needed to display the spirit of internationalism and use the army to promote peace.In the short term, Zhang Fu will certainly not be able to return to court.

Bo Chenxuan of Ping Jiang and Governor Liu Sheng were good at water warfare, but only average in land warfare.

Zhao Wang went to sea with the fleet, but he could not count on it.

The king of Han still wanted to consolidate the frontier defense and organize the farming.If you order Beijiang to guard the commander-in-chief seal, He Fu Mengshan, who would dare to use the King of Han as his deputy?

After much deliberation, except for the emperor's personal conquest, he really couldn't find the most suitable candidate for the leader.

When Empress Xu heard the news, she was very indifferent, as if she had expected it.Called the palace servants and sent the jacket she made by herself to the emperor.

Zhu Zhanji sat aside and remained silent.Zhu Zhanhe's big eyes are bright, the emperor's grandfather goes out of the fortress, can he also accompany him?

Seeing what Zhu Zhanhe was thinking, Empress Xu chuckled, that's all, a tiger in a cage is no match for a cat.At this age, the elder brother and the fourth brother have all rolled around in the barracks.Even Gao Xu and Gao Sui were often educated by the emperor with a whip.

Only Gao Chi...

Empress Xu paused, glanced at Zhu Zhanji, and became gentle again.That being the case, it doesn't hurt to mention it to the emperor.

Take both grandchildren with you, and if you grow up early, you will never fall into the prestige of your ancestors.

On that day, after Zhu Di went to court, he went to Kunning Palace to have dinner with Empress Xu.

Empress Xu brought up the matter of the emperor's grandson's retinue, and Zhu Di nodded happily, "Zi Tong's meaning is what I think. However, my grandson is so old, and I am also old."

"Your Majesty is not old." Empress Xu said with a smile, "Your Majesty is in his prime, how can you say old?"

"Not old?"

"Not old."

"At this age, how can you not be old?"

"This age?" Empress Xu smiled dignifiedly, and slowly pinched the golden calendula in her hand, and said softly, "In the eyes of Your Majesty, is this age old?"

"..." Zhu Di swallowed, he forgot that Zi Tong was only two years younger than him.

Accidentally poked a hornet's nest, and the result is that since then, Zhu Di has never mentioned the word "old man" again.Whoever dares to mention this word in front of him will be kicked away.

In the sixth month of Renxu in the eighth year of Yongle, the emperor issued a decree to summon the guards north of the Yangtze River, with a total of [-] troops, to conquer the Tatars.

When the imperial decree was delivered to the Xuanfu, Zhu Gaoxu slapped the table, stood up and laughed a few times. He was aggrieved for two months, and finally found his place again!

Arutai has not been formally conferred by the imperial court, so he can only camp outside the city with the tribe members.

The days of being terrified and being bullied by Wala and the savage Jurchens in shifts have finally become history.Even if the Oirat army is just a few miles away, Alutai can sleep soundly.

From restoring the glory of the Yuan Dynasty to looking up to the Ming Dynasty, just to survive, Arutai's mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The long-term fleeing career made him fully understand how unrealistic his "dream" is.The land of the Central Plains has changed to a new owner, and it is really a dream to support a fool to restore the glory of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Stupid, I'm so stupid!"

This sentence has almost become Alutai's mantra.

"However, Mahamu is even more stupid than me."

Wanting to learn from him and support the "golden family man" was really hit on the head by a stone.If he hadn't grasped the movement of Wala and had a "vote certificate" for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could he dare to run to the border of the Ming Dynasty.

"Tell the emperor of the Ming Dynasty about this matter, you can't compete with Wu Liangha, it shouldn't be difficult to go back to the tribal pasture."

Alutai lived up to the name of cunning, crossed the Oala border, and led Taiping to pursue him, all of which were in his plan.It's just that it was unexpected that Taiping was so brave and foolhardy that he actually fought with the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty.

He stabbed the dagger into the leg of lamb, tore off a piece of bloody lamb, chewed it in his mouth, and wiped off the oil on the corner of his mouth. Alutai smiled triumphantly.

The more people who vote for the dead ghosts, the more the better!

Alutai was proud, but Mahamu in the Wala headquarters couldn't wait to see it.Knowing that the Ming Dynasty had assembled an army of [-] and was about to attack him, Mahamu's first thought was not to resist, but to run away.

He wished he could hack Taiping to death.

Can't bear the anger for a while?It is necessary to fight against the Ming Dynasty frontier army at this time!It turned out that his earnest words and persuasion have become nonsense!

For the current plan, the only way to save strength is to run away.

However, where to run?

Mahamu frowned deeply.

As for Taiping who caused this catastrophe... Whoever caused the trouble will be dealt with, let him die!

At the end of June, Shengjia stayed in Shuntian.

Zhu Zhanji followed Zhu Zhanhe, Shen Xuan led the central army, Meng Qinghe was still deputy, and led the Shenji Battalion to Kaiping.

In the same month, the governor of Guizhou, Zuoshu and King Heping, flew to Beijing together.

Prince Ping Zhu Gaochi was suffering from miasma and was already dying of illness. He sought medical treatment in many ways, but there was still no cure. He asked Zhu Zhanji, the son of Prince Xu Ping, to inherit the throne in Beijing and become a vassal of Pu'an Prefecture.

Hearing the content of the above table, Empress Xu was furious, "Prince Ping is seriously ill, why didn't he report it to the palace? Can you keep Ping Wang in the eye if you conceal the illness?!"

"Returning to Your Highness, it's not that you don't report it, it's..."

"Say!"

"It's Princess Ping, who suppressed the news."

Empress Xu was so angry that she wrote a letter to the emperor herself, took the token of the middle palace, and sent it to the emperor.

Soon, news of King Ping's critical illness spread throughout the court.In contrast, Xie Jin died, and Hu Guang and Huang Huai went to Jinyi Prison, which became less conspicuous.

Undercurrents are raging in the land of the two capitals, and His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, who is sailing to the west, is standing at the bow of the ship, with high spirits, high spirits, and golden eyes.All he had to do was roar towards the sea: "Gold and silver treasures, overseas lands, come alone!"

If the mast of the treasure ship was replaced with a skull flag, and Zhu Gaosui raised a scimitar in his hand and laughed wildly facing the sea, he was really not a pirate, but better than a pirate.

Compared with Zhu Gaosui's grand ambition, Zheng He's previous series of methods can be called mild.

Zheng He and Wang Jinghong chewed the pills, looked at Zhu Gaosui's back with pale faces, really envious.

Back then, when I went to sea for the first time... don't mention it!

Look at His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, who are all going to sea. Why is the gap so big?
