Chapter 342 A good man should die in the wilderness, wrapped in horse leather and his ears buried!
"Is it true that someone would talk nonsense on the days when Duntai Yuanhou returns home? Don't you want your head?" Wang Qian crawled out of the snowdrift and said in horror.
Wang Qian really couldn’t understand who could do such a heinous and unethical thing under the current public opinion of enriching the country and strengthening the military. Even Wang Qian could only treat Duntai Yuanhou I can give a thumbs up and say something awesome.
It’s a real cow.
In a place like the grassland, people who are unfamiliar with the place are scattered out to collect intelligence. Who knows whether they can come back. Baimaofeng, birds and beasts, horse bandits, Hulu and diseases all died on the grassland. , there are no bones left, if a letter card can be found, it is God’s blessing.
In such a harsh environment, starting from the second year of Jingtai, this special army has always maintained a strength of 3,000 people. Later, it even became a common formation of the Ming Army, and the sentries were not closed at night of scouts.
To put it bluntly, these 3,000-person Duntai Yuanhou influenced the fate of several generations of people in the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty.
These backbones of the Ming Dynasty rushed to the battlefield with an uncertain future. How many people died in a pool or mountain nest in obscurity. Wang Qian, as the top powerful figure of the Ming Dynasty, every time he heard Dun Taiyuan Hou's deeds are only praised.
Wang Chonggu sighed, shook his head and said, "You already deserve a beating, but there are some people who deserve a beating more than you."
"What would you do if you were a father?" Wang Qian was slightly curious as to what methods his dignified second-in-command father would use if he really wanted to cause trouble in this matter.
Wang Chonggu hesitated to speak, shook his head and said: "Go and ask Wan Dazai for advice."
"Dad, I am your son, not Wan Dazai's. It would be inappropriate to go to Wan Dazai for everything." ." When Wang Qian saw Wang Chonggu's refusal, he immediately shook his head. If his father's unique skills were not passed on to him, who else would they pass them on to?
Wang Chonggu thought for a moment and said: "Actually, it's very simple. Duntai Yuanhou is a hero of the world. Their return to the court is naturally a major event. Let's make an issue based on this hero's identity. Don't be so obvious. , don’t be so deliberate.”
“Where to start? Let’s start with their family members.”
Wang Qian stopped slapping the snowflakes on his body. After a cold war, when Wang Chonggu said that he should start with his family, Wang Qian finally realized for the first time that his father was a bad person, a bad person through and through, bad to the core.
"Why start with the family members of Duntai Yuanhou?" Wang Chonggu thought for a moment and said: "Because these Duntai Yuanhou are the most sorry for their families. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both, Duntai Yuan The princes are loyal to the country and official affairs, but what about their parents, wives, and children? "
"So it is most appropriate to make an issue of it from their family members. Indeed, Duntai Yuanhou is an ordinary person, and they are all made of steel. Iron bones, but their family members are not. It is easiest to make a breakthrough from here, and it can also make His Majesty unable to deal with it."
Wang Qian felt his blood surge when he heard this. He started to get angry, and he vomited out his breath and said helplessly: "Dad... Mr. Yuansuke wants to beat you, and he is absolutely right!"
"There is no need to mention the past." Wang Chonggu waved his hand.
"How to start?" Wang Chonggu looked at Wang Qian's eyes and became vicious. He said in an extremely calm tone: "Try every means to persuade the family to take the tomb to the city gate to welcome the returnees. In mourning, mothers, wives, and children cry together. The louder the cry, the better. The more heart-wrenching the cry, the better. The more painful the cry, the more people will understand the heroic deeds done by Duntai Yuanhou. They are family members. It was earned through heartbreak.”
"At this time, the heroic background of Duntai Yuanhou will become muddy, which will not harm the public but will be useless to private families."
Wang Qian said very puzzled: "Isn't this right? Does it even appear that Duntai Yuanhou was loyal to the monarch and the country, safeguarded the interests of the country, and safeguarded the interests of the majority of people?"
Wang Chonggu replied: "Before you mourned, was Duntai Yuanhou perfect in your heart? ? After the mourning, did Duntai Yuanhou's behavior become worth it? Once you weigh the four words "whether it is worth it", it becomes negotiable and can be discussed. To put it more bluntly, it is Changing Duntai Yuanhou's behavior from a sacred and serious state to a state that can be discussed."
"You want to break a hole first?" Wang Qian frowned and the corners of his mouth twitched. He paused and asked in a low voice.
Wang Chonggu nodded and said: "Well, children can be taught. This process of mourning will definitely make these living Duntai Yuanhou become greater. At the same time, it can also make the humble Confucians learn from their family members. Taking the debt as the starting point, I started to slander. "
"There is no need to find a few non-existent childhood friends and classmates to tell the story of the naughty stories of these young men. It is best to have that kind of literature. The feeling of not being able to go far to defend the border, coupled with the complaints of the family members, and the word "poor academic performance" was attached to these distant princes, making things complicated and slowly muddying the waters."
"Ah? What's the purpose of doing this?" Wang Qian doesn't understand very well. Isn't this just a trivial matter? What's the point of doing this?
Wang Chong said concisely and comprehensively in ancient words: "Personal morality."
Wang Qian stayed where he was as if he was struck by lightning.
Wang Chonggu further explained: "You know, it is easy to kill a person, but it is difficult to kill his deeds. How to make him smell bad, personal morality is the best way. ”
"At this time, there is an additional mark on the Dun Tai Yuan Hou, that is, they are not good at school, so they became Dun Tai Yuan Hou. Everyone admires and admires them, but because they are not good at school, they are firmly nailed to the Dun Tai Yuan Hou. When it comes to Yuanhou, even some parents will say that if you don't do well in school, you will be sent to be a Duntai Yuanhou. "
"Do you want to continue listening?" Looking at his son's expression and Wang Qian's dumbfounded look, he hesitated whether he should continue talking or not. Wang Qian seemed a little unacceptable.
Wang Qian said with mixed feelings: "Dad, I thought I was bad enough."
Wang Chonggu looked slightly slumped. He has been in the officialdom for decades and has done all these things. He was somewhat uninterested in the matter. He shook his head and said: "You are quite bad. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice can dig holes. If your father is not bad, how can you be bad?"
The evil-doing king Chonggu.
“What’s next?” Wang Qian asked tentatively.
Wang Chonggu took a breath of air-conditioning, kicked up his hands, and said: "It's simple. After mourning, people are labeled as having poor academic performance. From sacred to flesh-and-blood mortals, to poor academic performance, next, This is to criticize the collective of Duntai Yuanhou. You know, a collective is composed of individuals, and these individuals are all different, so there will be some bad apples in the collective of Duntai Yuanhou. "< br>
“The next step is to make a whole pot of soup with a piece of meat. Paste some of your personal actions on the collective body of Duntai Yuanhou.”
“In order to survive, There was a certain Marquis of Duntai who borrowed a fellow villager's head for use, a certain Marquis of Duntai who went to steal and rob, a certain Marquis of Duntai who killed innocent people indiscriminately, and a certain Marquis of Duntai who surrendered to the Northern Captives and became the captives. The lackeys of Beilu, these examples are all true at the beginning, and then they can be based on groundless rumors and follow what others say."
"In short, it is to shape and perfect personal ethics and personal ethics. Moral corruption extends to the collective Duntai Yuanhou.”
"At this point, the foundation of Duntai Yuanhou has not been harmed."
Wang Qian waved his hand and said loudly: "Not yet?!"
Wang Chonggu's tone was still calm. Said: "The heroes of Duntai Yuanhou are because of public morality. Their reputation is composed of public morality. They sacrificed their own personal interests to ensure the interests of the country. This is what everyone admires about Duntai Yuanhou. , Therefore, if you want to hurt the foundation of Duntai Yuanhou, you must start with public morality."
"In fact, it is very simple. Let me remind you that the overall trend of Ming Dynasty and Beilu is still to reconcile with war. Promote peace, can you understand? Duntai Yuanhou existed from the second year of Jingtai to the sixth year of Wanli, and was an obstacle to the reconciliation between the Ming Dynasty and Beilu."
"Only Duntai Yuanhou became this obstacle. Do you think the reason for the endless war between the Ming Dynasty and the Beilu is still the credit of Duntai Yuanhou? "
Wang Qian took a step back, and then took three steps back. Wang Chonggu's tone could not be more calm. , in Wang Qian's ears, there was also a dark wind.
"This, this, this...Dad, you...I..." It was the first time that Wang Qian was so afraid of his father. Is he still a human being?
No courtier who can climb up to the Wenhua Palace has a fuel-efficient lamp. Wang Chonggu, as a courtier and secondary assistant who has had many ups and downs, is not inferior to Wan Shihe in playing magic, but he doesn’t say That’s all.
Wang Chonggu even set a trap for the officials and asked them to infiltrate. From then on, when the officials went to the Meridian Gate, they had to carefully guess whether they had fallen in love with someone. when.
Wang Chonggu set a trap for Yan Guan and asked Hai Rui to rescue him. For this purpose, Fequque became even more dangerous.
"Why, why did you make Duntai Yuanhou like this?" Wang Qian asked extremely puzzled.
What’s the purpose? Damage the reputation of these distant princes, for what?
Wang Chonggu said with great certainty: "Xingwen and Wu, you wouldn't think that after six years of Ming Dynasty's promotion of martial arts, there would be no Confucian scholars in Ming Dynasty? These Confucian scholars have been waiting for the opportunity, Waiting for the day when civilization and military will be promoted."
The purpose of promoting civil and military affairs is for profit.
Without military preparedness, the Ming Dynasty’s binding force on local affairs will be greatly weakened. When dealing with local affairs, it can only restrain its hands. If the imperial court is weak, the local area will be strong, so in the game of interests , the local government will gain more benefits. Similarly, in the conflict between ministers and emperors, and the competition between monarchs and ministers since ancient times, ministers can also gain more benefits.
This is the fundamental purpose of promoting culture and military affairs, and promoting culture and military affairs can often achieve great success.
To strengthen the military, it is not just words. It requires silver like the sea, the emperor's hard work, and the supplementary supply of grain and grass. In many cases, the court cannot afford military expenses. , arrears of payment are the norm.
Wang Chonggu stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the tall locust trees, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said: Our country, the country of Ming Dynasty, once the horses are released in Nanshan and Wen Tian is at war, no matter what aspect, we will retreat. The level of depravity is jaw-dropping.”
“This is also true, Qian’er, take the money and talk to these gentlemen. If they are willing to take the money, you can give it to them. Money, if they refuse to take it, lend them their heads to scare the monkeys.”
“Don’t spend money indiscriminately. Your Majesty will still reimburse you if you know about it. You spent so much, it’s His Majesty’s money.” Isn’t the good mood ruined? ”
"I know, kid." Wang Qian received his father's order. This matter was not difficult, and Wang Qian settled the matter without spending much money.
These writers in Jingtang always remember one person’s name, Chen Youren. Chen Youren was beaten in the street by His Majesty because his book "The Eastern Expedition" glorified the Japanese pirates and slandered Qi Shuai's Eastern Expedition. What kind of emperor would kill people in the street? The pen editors have never seen it, nor have the courtiers during the Wanli period.
Your Majesty attaches great importance to the return of Duntai Yuanhou this time. It can be seen from the busy work inside and outside the court. At this time, jumping out to make Your Majesty disgusted is to use his own head to test Your Majesty’s patience.
Can't test it at all.
Zhang Juzheng can stop His Majesty a little bit, but Zhang Juzheng cannot stop what His Majesty is determined to do.
During the very intense preparations of the Ming Dynasty, Tan Lun set out from Xizhimen through Xitucheng, exited Juyongguan, passed Yanqingwei, stayed in Tumubao for one day, passed Jiming Mountain, and arrived at Xuanfu Town. Wu Baipeng, the governor of Xuan Dynasty, went out of the city to welcome Da Sima to the important town of Xuanfu.
Tan Lun was not idle along the way. He led a group of censors and some Tiqi to explore the Xuanfu section of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the 190,000 landless tenants settled by Wang Chonggu. .
The overall situation is not just good, but a surprise.
Especially for the 190,000 landless tenants, because of the booming wool business in Bianfang, they have other things to do besides farming. Every household has two to three sheep, and there is one in every village. Fermented urine is used to clean wool factories. During the New Year this year, every household can barely make a meal of meat dumplings. The girl can pull a red string as a New Year gift. Being able to make meat dumplings and pull a red string is already very good.
This was of course due to Wang Chonggu's effective placement at the time, and his successor Wu Baipeng was dedicated to running the business here. The busy border trade was still very busy even with heavy snowfall in winter. Tan Lun saw several camel teams and left Xuanfu in the snow. .
"Da Sima, Sanniangzi said that she would come together and escort her along the way, in case there would be an accident." Wu Baipeng thought for a moment and said: "Sanniangzi should be afraid of an accident, for fear of this huge thing. The credit has been taken away by others."
Tan Lun said with considerable agreement: "What Governor Wu said is reasonable. Hey, doesn't this mean that the third lady is going to celebrate the New Year in the capital?"
Forget it. Counting the days, when Sanniang arrived in the capital, it was not far away from the New Year's Eve. The New Year is also celebrated on the grassland. On the grassland, it is called Xianjiersai, which is the White Festival. The first month is also called the White Moon, and there is also the habit of keeping the year old during the New Year. Moreover, sacrifices to the Kitchen God must be made before the Chinese New Year, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Aobao must be sacrificed.
Prairie people also attach great importance to the Chinese New Year. Sanniangzi did not delay the return of the pier to Yuanhou for too long. The longer it was delayed, the more changes there were. In order to return it as soon as possible, Sanniangzi made another trip in person. , and there is absolutely no going back during the Chinese New Year.
"Yes." Wu Baipeng counted the days, and it was indeed the case.
On the second day of December in the sixth year of Wanli, Tan Lun, accompanied by many officials from the Ministry of War, came to Guanglingmen, which is the northern main gate of Xuanfu. Above the city gate of Guanglingmen is Weiyuan Gate. Tan Lun did not wait upstairs, but went to Guangling Gate in person.
Tan Lun is not a porcelain bottle that can be broken at the touch of a touch. In the past few years, the great medical officers in the hospital have been following him everywhere. No matter what.
When Tan Lun was young, even Qi Jiguang had to show courtesy in hand-to-hand combat. He was a man who fought with Japanese pirates in Zhejiang and Fujian.
Tan Lun can understand these distant princes very well. Many times, Tan Lun's behavior is very strange. In the Wenhua Palace, it seems that His Majesty values Tan Lun's life more than Tan Lun himself.
This is for sure. Tan Lun really didn't care about his life. Zhejiang and Fujian fought against the Japanese pirates desperately and fought bloody battles on the battlefield. Tan Lun always thought that he could live one more day because he had earned a day.
Tan Lun can understand Duntai Yuanhou. He doesn't stop these nights and doesn't take his own life seriously, because he earns money by being able to see the sun the next day.
A real man, a good man, should die in the wilderness, wrapped in horse leather and his ears buried!
Tan Lun also agrees with part of the logic of promoting martial arts. Warriors are not even afraid of death, so what can they use to threaten them? And an overly radical way of thinking can easily make things worse. The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are all clear examples. Out-of-control violence is a human disaster.
However, the Ming Dynasty's promotion of civility and military affairs went too far. After the peace negotiations between Longqing and Anda Khan, this trend of promoting civility and military affairs became more and more common, and it even looked like the two Song Dynasties emphasized civilization over military affairs. .
It is indeed terrible to lose control of violence, but without violence, violence will definitely get out of control, because the enemy's violence is still like a sword hanging over Ming's head.
Considering the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, even after fifty years of vigorous efforts, we are determined not to reach the day when violence gets out of control.
"Coming." Wu Baipeng put down his telescope and reminded Tan Lun that Sanniangzi's motorcade had appeared in his field of vision.
Tan Lun picked up the telescope and looked at it for a moment, then handed the telescope to the guard next to him, and slowly pulled out his saber. The moment Tan Lun pulled out his saber, the Ming army began to take action. The drums began to hammer heavily on the drums, the horns sounded long, the gunpowder for artillery and gunpowder began to be loaded, and the long and short soldiers pulled out their holsters and scabbards, ready to go.
Once Tan Lun orders an attack, the Ming army will rush forward.
This time, Yang Wen came to welcome him back and brought five thousand troops with him.
Tan Lun saw the prison car. The princes from the pier and the platform were all pressed into the prison car, and they were getting closer and closer in the snow!
Seeing this scene, Tan Lun's inner anger could not be suppressed. He held his waist knife steadily. The medical officers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but Tan Lun in this state Lun, but it is really impossible to persuade.
Wu Baipeng was also frightened. He kept looking through the telescope, fearing that there would be some unnecessary misunderstanding.
"Da Sima, deputy general, there is a cotton-padded coat on the far side of the pier, and he is wearing a cotton-padded coat!" Wu Baipeng kept staring at the telescope, and then said with a surprised tone.
"Huh?" Tan Lun took the telescope from the guard and made sure that the princes on the pier and platform were wearing brand new cotton clothes and even had cashmere to warm their ears. His expression was colder than ice. He felt a little relieved, but he still held the long knife tightly in his hand.
When Sanniangzi walked a few hundred steps away, she took out her telescope to investigate. When she saw the Ming army getting ready to attack, she knew that something was about to happen. The returning Minister of War, Tan Lun, But Tan Lun is a hot-tempered person, and even the third lady knows it.
While being escorted in the prison car, Madman Tan went crazy. The third wife had no doubt that she would become the victim of the other party's sword.
Tan Lun, in particular, has always insisted on recovering Daningwei and Hetao. Daming has already taken back Daningwei.
The third lady hesitated for a moment, then rode her horse forward in person, rode alone under the city gate, turned over and dismounted, bowed her head and said, "I have seen the Great Sima, why is the Ming army so murderous?"
"I want to borrow your head." Tan Lun said without any concealment: "In this way, there is no reconciliation. After I leave, the Loop issue can be put on the table of Wenhua Hall for discussion. .”
Crazy! An absolute lunatic! The biggest radical in the Ming Dynasty was never the Ming Emperor, but the madman Tan in front of him. He was a Jinshi, a civil servant on the surface, but a martial artist at heart. A true radical, Tan Lun could really do anything for the Loop.
"You can't blame me anymore. You gave me an excuse. You see, the Marquis Yuan from the pier came in a prison car." Tan Lun slowly raised the waist knife in his hand and kept waving the tooth flag. , the sound of drums and horns became more intensive, and the artillery of the Ming Army began to slowly lower itself, aiming at the incoming people.
"Da Sima! Don't be impatient! Just lend me my head and take him back! These seventeen distant princes from the pier and the platform have gone through the sufferings of the world, and they can't go back when they reach home. "My dear, how can I bear this?" Sanniangzi said anxiously. He was very angry when he saw Wu Baipeng. Wu Baipeng tried to persuade him. Tan Lun wanted to take action on such a big matter, but Wu Baipeng said nothing. Not sent.
Wu Baipeng is also a radical.
"They can understand me." Tan Lun was about to put down his sword and give an order, and the war could begin.
“The two countries are at war and I won’t kill the envoy!” Sanniangzi reminded loudly anxiously, what about battlefield etiquette! You, Tan Lungui, are Grand Sima, so you don’t even follow this etiquette?
The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. We haven’t even started fighting yet, so we are planning to kill her to sacrifice to heaven?
Sanniangzi was immediately anxious. When people are extremely nervous, some people will be speechless and so angry that they can't speak. Some people will be quick-thinking. Sanniangzi said quickly: " Da Sima! If the war breaks out, the people of Ming Dynasty and Beilu will be in trouble!" Can you escape famine again! In the Yongding Yongsheng Woolen Factory, tens of thousands of people around you have just found their way to life. Their lives of peace and contentment have just begun. You don't care about your own life and death, honor and disgrace. Duntai Yuanhou is a madman like you and doesn't care about his own life or death. ! ”
"Don't you care about the 190,000 civilians, tens of thousands of craftsmen and their families in the government factories?"
"Okay, you don't care!"
"You don't care about the Ming Dynasty's two million soldiers. Don’t you care? It has only been six years since Zhenwu came to the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers on the border were well fed and paid their full salary. It has only been three years since Da Sima Gui became the Secretary of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the sword has fallen, who in the Ming Dynasty dares to talk about Zhenwu? "
"Da Sima, think twice!"
The corner of Tan Lun's mouth twitched. I was really lucky to have such a sharp-tongued woman. He turned his hand. , with the back of the sword facing outwards, forcefully commanded him.
My life is at risk!
When Sanniangzi saw the knife falling, she closed her eyes in despair. She heard the roar of cannons and knew that everything was over and her efforts were like a joke.
But after she waited, she felt no pain. The sound of artillery was still firing. The third lady secretly opened her eyes and realized that she had been cheated!
Everything that sounds is a salute!
Sanniangzi is still knowledgeable, this is the highest military courtesy of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's just to scare Mrs. Zhongshun. Today is different from the past. During the Jiajing period, you and I conquered, and the northern captives won more and lost less. Today is different from the past. If you don't have a respectful heart, tomorrow's army will definitely come." Tan Lun put away his saber. into the scabbard.
"Ah!" Sanniangzi roared and angrily got on her horse. She was really frightened to death by this lunatic. She clenched her fists and said: "Da Sima is so motivated, if there is really a fight. , How can Da Sima go before His Majesty? It's just nonsense!"
"How do you know that there is no His Majesty's will? How do you know that I am acting on my own initiative and not His Majesty's consent?" Tan Lun came from his waist. He took out a gold letter plate and blew it with a smile on his face.
The front side of the brand is a gift from the emperor, and the back side of the brand is expediency.
Tan Lun is really not messing around. All of this is not his decision alone. Tan Lun and His Majesty, Zhang Juzheng, who is more moderate in comparison, are real radicals who are undecided when faced with problems. Force means the mentality of a martial artist, and Your Majesty is an out-and-out martial artist.
Sanniang’s face changed drastically!
It is self-evident what will happen if Sanniangzi chooses to prepare for war when she sees the Ming army getting ready, or even misfires and starts a fight.
The little emperor's heart has always been very dirty. It has been very dirty since he was a child. Now that he has grown up, it is even dirtier! He is becoming more and more domineering!
"Madmen, they are all madmen!" The third lady clapped her horse and walked away, returning to Xue Jun, a group of four hundred people. She pulled the prison cart and arrived in front of Guangling Gate.
The reason why the prison cart must be pulled is naturally because of Anda Khan's request. Anda Khan returned these piers reluctantly, and the Marquis Yuan was unwilling to return them as prisoners of war. Naturally, he had to ride in the prison cart. The details The executioner was Sanniangzi herself, so she gave Duntai Yuanhou cotton clothes and warm ears, and even improved the prison car.
It's just called a prison car. It's not drafty and very warm.
Tan Lun stepped forward and opened these prison cars with his own hands. The arrested Duntai Yuanhou was in surprisingly good condition, not the human tragedy he imagined. Although they were all hungry and skinny, they were not Visible injuries.
Anda Khan has fought and won all his life. The princes from the pier and the far end are all strong and strong. Anda Khan really wants to win back these tough guys, but he has never been able to achieve his long-cherished wish and even lost his life. For those who don't care, Anda Khan really has no other solution except to kill them.
"Go home." Tan Lun got on the prison car, helped Ye Busuo up in the prison car, helped him out of the carriage, and handed it to the guards. The accompanying medical officers supported him Ye Bushou got on the carriage and started the inspection.
Tan Lun helped Ye Bushou out one by one, and his expression became peaceful as he watched the carriage set off.
"Is it going well?" Sanniangzi looked at Tan Lun and teased angrily.
Tan Lun nodded and said: "I'm okay, I have to satisfy His Majesty."
Please give me a monthly ticket, ow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
