I'm really not doing business

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 a wealthy country and a powerful army. Even Wang Qian could only give a thumbs up to Duntai Yuanhou. , a big compliment.

It's really awesome.

In a place like the grassland, people who are not familiar with the place are scattered out to collect intelligence. Who knows whether they can come back? The white-haired wind, birds and beasts, horse bandits, Hulu and diseases all died on the grassland, and their bones are all gone. , if you can find a letter card, it’s God’s blessing.

In such a harsh environment, starting from the second year of Jingtai, this special army has always maintained a strength of 3000 people. Later, it even became a common formation of the Ming Army, with scouts who did not close their posts at night.

To put it bluntly, these 3000 people of Duntai Yuanhou influenced the fate of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians for several generations.

These backbones of the Ming Dynasty rushed to the battlefield with an uncertain future. How many of them died in obscurity in some pool or mountain nest. As a top powerful figure in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Qian, every time he heard about the deeds of Duntai Yuanhou, There was only praise.

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 he do if he were a father?" Wang Qian was slightly curious about what means his father, the second-in-command, 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." Seeing that Wang Chonggu refused to say anything, Wang Qian immediately shook his head. His father's unique skills would not be passed on to him. , and whom to pass it 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 a fuss based on this hero's status. Don't be so obvious and don't be so deliberate. .”

"Where to start? Start with their families."

Wang Qian's hand that slapped the snowflakes on his body stopped, and he suddenly shivered. When Wang Chonggu said that he should start with his family, Wang Qian finally realized for the first time that his father was a wicked person, the kind of outright, bad person. A villain 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 ends. Duntai Yuanhou is loyal to the country and loyal to the country. It’s business, but where are their parents, wives, and children?”

"So it is most appropriate to make a fuss about family members. Indeed, Duntai Yuanhou is an ordinary person, and they are all made of steel. But their family members are not. It is easiest to make a breakthrough from here, and it can also make His Majesty , cannot be disposed of.”

When Wang Qian heard this, he felt his blood surge. He was already angry. He vomited out his breath and said helplessly: "Dad... Mr. Yuan Fu wants to beat you, and he is really right!"

"There is no need to mention the past." Wang Chonggu waved his hand.

"How to start?" Wang Chonggu looked into 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 to mourn. Mother, wife, Children, cry together. The louder you cry, the better. The more heart-wrenching you cry, the better. The more painful you cry, the more people will understand the heroic deeds done by Duntai Yuanhou. It was the result of the heartbreak of his family. of."

"At this time, the heroic background of Duntai Yuanhou will become muddy. It will not be a loss for the public but no benefit for the private family."

Wang Qian said very puzzledly: "Doesn't this make it more obvious that Duntai Yuanhou is loyal to the monarch and the country, safeguarding the interests of the country and the interests of the majority of people?"

Wang Chonggu replied: "Before the mourning, was Duntai Yuanhou perfect in your heart? After the mourning, did Duntai Yuanhou's behavior become worth it? Once you weigh these four words, is it worth it? , it becomes negotiable and can be discussed. To put it more bluntly, it is to change the behavior of Duntai Yuanhou from a sacred and serious state to a state that can be discussed."

"If you want to restrain yourself, make an opening?" Wang Qian frowned, twitched the corners of his mouth, 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 will also allow the humble Confucians to start from the debt they owe to their families. slander."

"It doesn't take much. Find a few non-existent childhood friends and classmates to tell the story of the mischievous childhood of these distant marquises. It would be best to have the feeling of being an incompetent man and guarding the border far away. In addition, the family members' Complaining and putting the words "poor academic performance" on these distant princes made things more complicated and slowly muddied the water."

"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's ancient saying is concise and comprehensive: "Private morality."

Wang Qianru was struck by lightning and stayed where he was.

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 ethics 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. In the case of Yuanhou, even some parents, when frightening their children who don’t learn, will say that if you don’t do well in school, they will send you to be a pier and Yuanhou.”

"Do you want to continue listening?" Wang Chonggu looked at his son's expression and Wang Qian's dumbfounded look. He also hesitated whether he should continue talking. Wang Qian seemed a little unacceptable.

Wang Qian said with mixed feelings: "Dad, I thought I was bad enough."

Wang Chonggu looked slightly depressed. He had been in the officialdom for decades and had done all these things. He was somewhat unmotivated. He shook his head and said: "You are quite bad. The son of a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, or a mouse." Drilling a hole is not as bad as your father, but it is not as bad as you."

The king is full of evil and worships the ancients.

"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 being sacred to being a common man with flesh and blood, and then being poor in academic performance, the next step is to label Duntai Yuanhou This collective criticizes, you know, a collective is made up of individuals, and these individuals are all different, so in the collective Duntai Yuanhou, there will be some bad apples."

"The next step is to make a whole pot of soup with a piece of meat, and paste some of the individual's actions on the collective body of Duntai Yuanhou."

"In order to survive, some people borrowed the heads of fellow villagers, some people stole and robbed, some people killed innocent people indiscriminately, and some people surrendered. He joined Beilu and became Beilu's lackey. 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 private morality and expand personal moral corruption 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 said in a calm tone: "The heroes of Duntai Yuanhou are because of public morality. Their reputation is composed of public morality. They sacrificed their personal interests to ensure the interests of the country. This is Duntai Yuanhou." Everyone admires him, so if you want to hurt the foundation of Duntai Yuanhou, start with public morality."

"It's actually very simple. Let me remind you that the overall trend of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Lu is still to reconcile and promote peace through war. Can you understand? Duntai Yuanhou existed from the second year of Jingtai to the sixth year of Wanli. Reconciliation between the northern captives is hindered.”

"As long as Duntai Yuanhou becomes this obstacle and becomes an inducement for the Ming Dynasty and Beilu to fight each other endlessly, do you think that Duntai Yuanhou's contribution is still credit?"

Wang Qian took one step back, and then three steps back. No matter how calm Wang Chonggu's tone was, it sounded sinister in Wang Qian's ears.

"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?
The courtiers who could climb up to the Wenhua Palace did not have a fuel-efficient lamp. Wang Chonggu, as a courtier and secondary assistant who had had many ups and downs, was not inferior to Wan Shihe in the art of playing tricks, but he just didn't say it.

Wang Chonggu even laid 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 been deceived by someone.

Wang Chonggu initially set a trap for Yan Guan and then asked Hai Rui to rescue him. For this purpose, Fugu 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 the Ming Dynasty? These Confucian scholars have been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the promotion of literature and martial arts. That day is coming.”

Promoting culture and military affairs is for profit.

Without military preparations, the Ming Dynasty’s binding force on the local area 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, then in the game of interests, the local area will gain More benefits, similarly, in the conflict between ministers and emperors, in the ancient contest of monarchy and ministerial power, ministers can also get 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, you can't just talk about it. 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 the military expenses, and arrears of pay are a kind of normal.

Wang Chonggu stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at the tall locust trees, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said: Our country, the Ming Dynasty, once the horses were released to Nanshan and Wen Tian was in martial arts, no matter what aspect, the level of regression and degradation would be unbelievable. Jaw-dropping.”

"This is also true. Qian'er, take the money and talk to these pens. If they are willing to take the money, give them the money. If they are not willing to take the money, lend them their heads. , kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

"Don't spend money indiscriminately. If His Majesty finds out, he will still reimburse you. If you spend so much, won't His Majesty's good mood be 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 pen writers in Jingtang always remember one person's name, Chen Youren.Chen Youren was killed 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 Marquis Duntai Yuan this time. It can be seen from the busy work inside and outside the court. At this time, jumping out to make Your Majesty sick is using your own head to test His 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 by Yanqing Guard, stayed in Tumubao for one day, passed Jiming Mountain, and arrived at Xuanfu Town. Wu Baipeng, the governor of Xuan Dynasty, went out to greet him. Da Sima arrived at 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 19 landless tenants settled by Wang Chonggu.

The overall situation is not just good, but surprising.

Especially the 19 landless tenants, because of the booming wool business in the border areas, they have something to do besides farming. Every household has two to three sheep, and there is a man who cleans wool with fermented urine in every village. In the factory, during the Chinese New Year this year, every household can barely make a meal of meat dumplings, and 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, Sanniang said that she would come together and escort her along the way. There is no chance of an accident." Wu Baipeng thought for a moment and said, "Sanniang must be afraid of an accident, for fear that this great contribution will be snatched away by others. .”

Tan Lun said with considerable agreement: "What Governor Wu said is reasonable. Hey, doesn't this mean that the third lady will celebrate the New Year in the capital?"

Counting the days, when Sanniang arrived in the capital, it was not far 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. , and the Kitchen God must be sacrificed before the Chinese New Year, and Aobao must be sacrificed on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The grassland people also attach great importance to the 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 this New Year celebration was absolutely Can not go back.

"Yes." Wu Baipeng counted the days and found that it was indeed the case.

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month 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 the Weiyuan Tower, but Tan Lun did not Waiting upstairs, but went to Guangling Gate in person.

Tan Lun is not a porcelain bottle that will break at the touch of a touch. In the past few years, the great medical officers in the hospital have been following him everywhere. They even pretend to be powerful and use His Majesty's name to take care of two things. They are in charge of this and that.

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 was very understanding of these distant princes. Many times, Tan Lun's behavior was very strange. In the Wenhua Palace, it seemed that His Majesty valued Tan Lun's life more than Tan Lun himself.

That's 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 could understand that Duntai Yuanhou refused to accept these nights and did not take his own life seriously, because he earned it 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 recognized part of the logic of promoting Wen and Wu. Wufu was not even afraid of death, so what could he 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 civility and neglected military affairs.

It is indeed terrible for violence to get out of control, 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.

As far as the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, even after 50 years of Zhenwu, we are determined not to reach the day when violence gets out of control.

"Here we come." Wu Baipeng put down his telescope and reminded Tan Lun that Sanniangzi's motorcade was already in sight.

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, and the drums started beating. Heavy hammers hit the drums, the horn sounded long, the gunpowder for the artillery and gunfire 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 firmly. The medical officers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but Tan Lun in this state was really unable to persuade him. .

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 were wearing brand new cotton clothes and even had cashmere to warm their ears. His face, which was colder than ice, softened a little, but Still holding 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, was an impatient man. Even the third lady knows Madam Tan’s nickname.

While being escorted in the prison car, Madman Tan went crazy. Sanniangzi 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. She 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. .”

madman!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, Marquis Yuan from the pier came in a prison car." Tan Lun slowly raised the waist knife in his hand, the tooth flag was waving, and the drums and horns sounded. It became denser, and the artillery of the Ming Army began to slowly lower its sights, aiming at the intruders.

"Da Sima! Don't be impatient! Even if you lend me my head, you can take him back! These seventeen distant princes from the pier have gone through hardships in the world, and they can't return home when they arrive at their door. Da Sima is in his heart Why endure?" Sanniangzi said very 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.

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 and 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, but are we planning to kill her to sacrifice to heaven?
Sanniang Zi immediately became anxious. When people are extremely nervous, some people will become speechless and become so angry that they cannot speak. Some people will be quick-thinking. Sanniang Zi spoke very quickly: "Da Sima! Let's fight together. , the people of Ming Dynasty and Beilu will fall into war disaster!"

"In Datong, Xuanfu, the 19 landless tenants who just got their families have no choice but to flee again! In Yongding Yongsheng Woolen Factory, tens of thousands of people around them have just found a chance to live and work, and their lives of peace and contentment have just begun. You You don’t care about your own life and death, honor and disgrace, Duntai Yuanhou is a lunatic just like you, and he doesn’t care about your own life or death!”

"Don't you care about those 19 people, tens of thousands of craftsmen and their families in government factories?"

"Okay, you don't care!"

"Don't you care about the two million soldiers of the Ming Dynasty? Zhenwu of the Ming Dynasty has just been here for six years. The soldiers on the border have filled their bellies and received full pay. It has only been three years. Da Sima Gui was the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he has fallen, who is the Ming Dynasty? Dare you talk about Zhenwu?!"

"Da Sima, think twice before you act!"

The corner of Tan Lun's mouth twitched. An Dahan was really lucky to have such a sharp-tongued woman. He turned his hand, with the back of the knife facing out, and pressed hard.

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 cannons were still firing. The third lady secretly opened her eyes and realized that she had been deceived!
All the sounds were salutes!
The third wife 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!" The third lady roared and got on her horse angrily. She was really frightened to death by this lunatic. She clenched her fists and said: "Da Sima is so motivated. If a fight really breaks out, how can Da Sima get to His Majesty?" Dealing with people in front of you is just nonsense!"

"How do you know that there is no His Majesty's will? How do you know that I am acting on impulse and not His Majesty's consent?" Tan Lun took out a gold letter plaque from his waist 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 a cheap act.

Tan Lun is really not messing around. All of this is not his decision alone. Tan Lun and His Majesty, and Zhang Juzheng, who is more moderate in comparison, are real radicals. They are undecided and resort to force when encountering problems. This is the mentality of a martial artist. And His Majesty is an out-and-out martial artist.

The third lady’s face changed drastically!
If when seeing the Ming army getting ready to go, Sanniangzi chooses to prepare for war, or even misfires and starts a fight, it is self-evident what will happen.

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!" Sanniangzi clapped her horse and ran away, returning to the 400-strong Xue Army, pulling the prison cart to the front of Guangling Gate.

The reason why the prison car must be pulled is naturally because of Anda Khan's request. Anda Khan returned these piers reluctantly and Marquis Yuan was unwilling to return them as prisoners of war. Naturally, they had to ride in the prison car. The specific execution was carried out by Sanniangzi herself. , so she gave Duntai Yuanhou cotton-padded 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 the 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 starved and skinny, there were no obvious injuries.

Anda Khan has fought and won all his life. The princes of Duntai Yuanhou are all strong and strong. Anda Khan really wants to regain these tough guys, but he has never been able to achieve his long-cherished wish. People who don’t even care about their lives, I Dahan really had no other solution except to kill them.

"Going 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 helped Ye Busuoshou get in. Carriage, inspection began.

Tan Lun helped Ye Bushou out one by one, and his expression became peaceful as he watched the carriage set off.

"Is everything going well?" Sanniangzi looked at Tan Lun and teased angrily.

Tan Lun nodded and said: "I'm okay, I have to satisfy His Majesty."

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
