Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 451
Qin Shao was too surprised and blurted out directly.

Peng Ze was slightly surprised, the new emperor's words... were too straightforward!
After all, they are considered upper-class and educated people, and they generally seldom say that they died directly. Especially, although Qiu Yue has already retired in recent years, coupled with his poor health, he seldom goes out, but after all, he can be regarded as a knight. It is generally said to be dead, or it is okay to say that someone has gone.

To directly say that people are dead, to be honest, some... some are too vulgar...

However, Peng Ze was not surprised that the new emperor said such words today.

The longer we get along, the more Peng Ze feels that the new emperor is a little too "different".

He is decisive, has many new ideas, and many difficult things seem to be easily solved by him. He is also broad-minded and not so preoccupied. However, sometimes his speech is very straightforward and vulgar, with many straightforward country sayings mixed in his language.

But in an instant, Peng Ze was relieved.

After all, the new emperor had only lived in a small and peaceful place in Anlu Prefecture for decades. I heard that because of his poor health, he lived in a Taoist village since he was a child, and it was normal and harmless to develop some vulgar speaking habits.

Peng Ze has led troops outside to fight for many years. Unlike those pure civil servants, such a new emperor seems to be easier to recognize, trust and get close to.

And compared to Wu Zong's temperamental personality, although this new monarch is strict and ruthless, but in general, his temperament is quite stable...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Qiu had an old injury in the early years, and his health has not been good these years. Yue has no children now, only one grandson, Qiu Luan, is still in Gansu, and he will come back later. Ding You, there is no capable man in the family, and I want to send the Marquis for a ride..."

Peng Ze said in a deep voice.

Qiu Luan?

It wasn't for Peng Ze's reminder, Qin Shao almost forgot the name!
Grandma, he remembered the process of meeting that guy when he was fleeing.

In fact, it's not his fault that he forgot about Qiu Luan.

According to the original historical development, Qiu Luan was reused because he supported Zhu Houcong in the Daliyi incident, and later became a favored minister.

But now that Qin Shao is the emperor, Qiu Luan, who is far away in Gansu, has not played a role, and Qin Shao has forgotten this guy, but he has forgotten that Qiu Luan's grandfather and father live in the capital.

But according to what Peng Ze said, Qiu Luan is still in Gansu.

Thinking about it, this guy has not gained power in this life, and if his ability is recorded according to history, there will be no waves.

It's just that Qin Shao is still a little surprised, if this Qiu Luan is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he break into the bandit's camp alone with others?

But this matter is also uncertain, maybe this Qiu Luan was a good and courageous young man when he was young, but he changed when he developed.

Human nature really can’t be said. When a person is young and poor, he will use his whole body alone. When he grows up and has power, he may become greedy.

The more people have, the more cautious they will be. The people who are most afraid of death in the world are often the rich. They have too much and are reluctant to lose it.

Qin Shao had never met Qiu Yue. Before he came to power, Qiu Yue had retired at home due to illness.

Moreover, the reason why Qiu Yue was conferred the title of Marquis of Xianning was because of his contribution to the suppression of Liu Liu and Liu Qiqi. It was also because of this contribution that Peng Ze was able to be transferred from the frontier to Beijing, and later became the Ministry of War step by step. Shangshu.

It's just that Qiu Yue accidentally fell off his horse because of an arrow shot in that battle. Although he saved his life, he has been haunted by illness ever since.

Qiu Yue was capable of fighting, but his son Qiu Chang was indeed sick and thin, unable to inherit his father's mantle at all.

Qiu Yue could only send his grandson Qiu Luan back to his hometown in Gansu for training in his old army, hoping to give his grandson a hand in his lifetime by virtue of his relationship with the court.

Of course, Qiu Yue's relationship with China is Peng Ze.

Originally they were all factions of Yang Tinghe, but after Yang Tinghe's downfall, Qiu Yue was very disappointed and felt that there was not much hope. His grandson might not be the commander of Tongzhi in Gansu in the future.

It's just that he didn't expect Peng Ze to be reused by the new emperor.

Although Qiu Yue and Peng Ze have a good relationship, if people want to maintain a long-term friendship, they often have to be evenly matched.

The son can't stand up to the family, and the grandson is still young. In addition to obtaining a relatively vain title, the distance between Qiu Yue and Peng Ze is actually getting farther and farther.

If the maintenance of interpersonal relationship is not on the same level, even if you have the original relationship, if you blindly ask for help, the distance will often become farther and farther.

But if there is a big problem, the other party can help, will use it appropriately, and it will have a big effect.

When Qiu Yue was dying, Tuo Gu's response was actually on point.

Peng Ze looked at his former old friend, who was younger than himself, yes, Qiu Yue was four years younger than Peng Ze, and now he was so old that he was dying, which shocked Peng Ze even more .

When a person is about to die, people often forget all the bad things and only remember his best side. The same is true for Peng Ze. The death of his old friend made him feel guilty and sad. Even though he was ordered by the emperor to go on a business trip, he still asked for leave I want to give an old friend a ride.

And it was not unintentional that he mentioned Qiu Luan. Before leaving, Qiu Yue held Peng Ze's hand and the only request was to take more care of his only flesh and blood Qiu Luan.

His son Qiu Chang also passed away three years ago!
The enemy seems to have a short-lived gene!

"Lord Qiu Hou has made great contributions to the imperial court and is also your best friend. It is only natural for you to send him off for a while. It is not too late to send him away first, and then go to Liaodong!"

Qin Shao said directly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!"

"By the way, Qiu Luan will be back soon, right?"

Qin Shao asked suddenly.

Peng Ze was a little surprised, he just mentioned Qiu Luan slightly, after all, he couldn't be too obvious, he didn't expect the new emperor to remember his name all at once.

It's just that what does the new emperor mean by suddenly mentioning Qiu Luan?
Of course, Peng Ze wanted to let the new emperor know that Qiu Yue was dead by mentioning his old friend's grandson, so that he could have some compassion and take care of Qiu's family.

However, with Xinhuang's style of doing things, Peng Ze doesn't give much hope!
Like Tai Zu, the new emperor is a monarch with great talent and great strategy, but in terms of kindness, it seems that he should not have too much expectation...

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Qiu has been in a coma from time to time a few days ago. There is no supporter in the family. Mrs. Qiu has already sent a letter to Qiu Luan asking him to come back to take care of Lord Qiu, but I didn't expect that Qiu Luan hadn't come back yet. Lord... But according to Foot City, he will be back in a few days!"

Peng Ze reported truthfully.

After chatting briefly, Qin Shao asked Peng Ze to step down, and he simply packed up his things to prepare for the Xia Dynasty.

He and Zhang Zuogang were about to go to Kunning Palace through the door at the back of the court hall. These few days were too busy, Qin Shao left early and returned late, and rarely got along with Han Jinrong and the children.

He went out early in the morning and returned in the evening when the children were asleep.

Sometimes he was too busy, and it was too late to go back. In order not to disturb them, he stayed at the Hall of Mental Cultivation for one night.

In the past few days, things have been almost arranged, and I just happen to get together with the children in the evening.

The eldest son and the second son have already started enlightenment. They don't know how to study, and Qin Shao also wants to know about the situation.

The children of Ming Dynasty had quite a lot of enlightenment knowledge, but it was more about literature and writing. Qin Shao thought that some science content should be popularized for children, especially astronomy and natural phenomena.

Earlier, he thought about whether to compile a teaching material or something, so that children can learn it, and then gradually popularize it in the schools of the capital, but he has never had the time.

Think about the recent things that have come to an end. If you don’t have time, you can talk about your ideas and arrange for someone to do it.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Before Qin Shao and the others went out the back door, shouts came from behind.

It was Sun Xing's voice.

Soon, I saw Sun Xing trotting over.

"What are you screaming about? Report something quickly!"

Zhang Zuo was very angry when he saw that the little apprentice would only yell loudly.

"Your Majesty, master, then...then Wang Qiong and Peng Ze will fight!"

Sun Xing said with some excitement.

what?
Wang Qiong and Peng Ze are fighting?
Didn't the court have dispersed long ago, Wang Qiong withdrew with the officials, and Peng Ze stayed to report the problem at the beginning, the two must have staggered the time, why did they get entangled and fight together again?

It's fine to fight normally, but why is there a fight now?

"His Majesty?"

Zhang Zuo looked at Qin Shao with some hesitation.

It was also the first time he had heard of such a thing, and he didn't know what His Majesty's attitude was.

Zhang Zuo was originally an internal official of Prince Xing's Mansion. Although he had seen a lot of the world with Li Su, he had never met too many ministers in the court after all.

When he followed the new emperor to Beijing, his master Li Su personally trained him for a long time.

Li Su had worked in the palace before, so he had quite a lot of experience.

Although Zhang Zuo is very smart and easy to learn, he learned a lot about the court and the behavior of the so-called ministers in the court from his master.

But when he really followed the new emperor to contact those so-called ministers, he was still a little dumbfounded!

Those civil servants who are well-dressed, known to be full of knowledge, elegant and courteous, scolded sharply, not much worse than the aunts at the entrance of the village!
Sometimes they are arguing and even use their hands. Of course, they are usually noisy in the court hall. Once they go outside, they sometimes want to make gestures, grab a hand, and pull their hair.

Zhang Zuo was dumbfounded when he met for the first time, and he observed the new emperor just like him.

But after a long time, they just watched the fun, as long as it didn't involve important issues, they were free to make gestures.

Wang Qiong and Peng Ze were regarded as deadly enemies in the past, but now that they have become the new emperor's subordinates in the court, they still dislike each other, and they often pinch each other in the court, but they never fight.

After all, both of them have some punches, and Wang Qiong has also led soldiers, not to mention Peng Ze.

Those who have been able to stay in the Ministry of War have some fists.

If the two of them were to fight, would it be violent?
Anyway, Zhang Zuo thought so.

"Go and see!"

Seeing the excitement on the new emperor's face, Zhang Zuo knew that it coincided with his own thoughts.

The three of them hurried towards the main entrance of the Chaotang Hall.

In a small square, I saw two fighting figures, surrounded by a circle of people, obviously all the courtiers from the previous batch.

Grandma, this group of people didn't go back after the court, but they were all here to watch the fun.

Peng Ze and Wang Qiong are about the same age. Both of them are now 56 or [-] years old. The two old men are working hard, not at all inferior to those tearing civil servants, but they have a vigorous momentum.

You have a praying mantis leg, and I have a hammer fist, making a loud bang.

If it's not because of his status, Qin Shao would like to applaud these two.

When Qin Shao approached, the two had already fought several rounds.

Although they seem to be on par, Qin Shao, as a person with kung fu, has already seen that Wang Qiong is somewhat at a disadvantage.

After all, Peng Ze has led troops for many years and has been on the battlefield many times. He fights more easily and neatly. Wang Qiong just has the advantage of being tall.

"Your Majesty is down!"

Somebody saw Qin Shao and shouted loudly.

The onlookers watched with great interest and those who pretended to persuasion did not come forward at all. Seeing the new emperor approaching, the original enthusiasm quickly turned to panic, and they quickly hid to the sides, leaving a passageway.

The two people who were playing heartily heard the shouts and looked this way. Seeing Qin Shao's face, the two of them looked surprised, stopped their hands together, and bowed to Qin Shao.

"What? Isn't it too early in the Xia Dynasty today? All the lovers are high-spirited. How about a competition here? Wang Shangshu and Peng Shangshu, you two are doing a good job!"

Qin Shao sneered.

Usually these people quarrel with each other except when they have different opinions, and they look like they take the world as their own responsibility, but now I have already seen clearly the faces of gossip and good things!
"Your Majesty, I... I have long heard that Wang Shangshu is good at skills, but I have been too busy to have time to learn from each other. Today just happened to go to court, and everyone is interested, so I couldn't help but to learn from each other. It's just that I'm still in the palace. ...It is indeed inappropriate, please...please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Peng Ze said first, his face had been punched by Wang Qiong earlier, and the corners of his mouth were a little hurt.

"Your Majesty, I... I am also at fault!"

Wang Qiong also bowed to admit his mistake, one side of the eye was black and blue, obviously around the eye because of being beaten.

The other ministers around are all bowing their heads at this moment, speechless, looking like students who have done something wrong.

"Wang Qiong, come with me! The others go back to work!"

Everyone didn't dare to vent their anger, until the new emperor ordered in a cold voice, everyone dared to breathe a sigh of relief, and fled out in a hurry.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Wang Qiong cautiously followed the new emperor to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Looking at the new emperor who was sitting on the main seat drinking tea leisurely, he dared not say a word for a while.

It's just that the new emperor kept silent, and he was even more flustered, so he could only call Qin Shao in a low voice.

"How old is Wang Shangshu this year?"

Seeing Wang Qiong's embarrassing expression, Qin Shao felt that there was enough time to air him, Fang Yun asked lightly.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, I...I am fifty and six this year!"

He was very confused, His Majesty asked himself what he was doing at his age.

When the court came down today, Peng Ze took the initiative to stay, and he didn't come out after chatting with the emperor for so long.

Ever since Peng Ze went in, Wang Qiong had been dragging outside on purpose, wanting to know what Peng Ze had told the emperor. He had some doubts about Peng Ze's complaint against him. They were all beaten back by themselves.

Today, he deliberately mentioned it in the court, obviously wanting to use the emperor to suppress himself.

Wang Qiong was a little annoyed, but when Peng Ze came out, the two fought again. There were many people around, and they happened to be away from court, so they immediately punched and kicked.

"Fifty and six is ​​not too young! But I think your hands and feet are still very neat. If not, you can go to Liaodong to change jobs and experience it!"

Qin Shao said calmly.

"His Majesty!"

Wang Qiong felt a "bang" in his heart, as if something suddenly sank.
