After talking about personal matters, it is time to start talking about official business.

At this time, the wine and food had already been served, Wu Xun was ordered to pour wine for Gao Pragmatic, as soon as the wine was in the glass, Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised when he saw it, it was golden.

Wu Dui said with a smile: "This Zhejiang famous wine, known as Dongyang wine in ancient times, is now called Jinhua wine, which is unique to Wuzhou (Jinhua). ”

Gao is pragmatic and good at drinking, but he is not good at wine, and he doesn't understand the origin of this wine very well, so he picked up the cup and smelled it, and said, "It seems to smell of medicine." ”

Wu Xun said: "Uncle Shi knows that this wine is different from ancient and modern, and the ancient brewing method contained in the original "Shilin Guangji" is used for its koji. Now you don't need it, but you can mix it with bran noodles and knotweed leaves, fake its spicy gas, and knotweed is also detoxified, and it is only slightly medicated. This wine is fragrant and fragrant, the color is golden, even if you drink it to get drunk, you don't have a headache, you don't have a dry mouth, and you don't have diarrhea. Its water is called, heavier than other water, neighbors such as my Shaoxing, all made otherwise, are the beauty of water and soil. ”

Gao Pragmatic laughed: "Yuquan water is light, Jinhua water is heavy, but each has its own use, it seems that Li Taibai used to say 'I am born to be useful', which is really reasonable." ”

"Of course, just like the court employing people, it is also like this." Wu Dui said: "When it comes to employing people and seeking truth, do you think Liu Shizeng can do this Yunnan war?" ”

Gao pragmatically smiled: "Just let go and use the two generals Liu Ling and Deng Zilong." ”

"The emperor summoned you to the palace yesterday, I think you also talked about the war in Yunnan?" Wu Dui asked: "Brother Yu has already gotten some news about the treasure money of the Dian War, since you Jinghua is in charge of this matter, presumably there will be no shortage of military salaries this time...... The foolish brother is curious about how the emperor wants to fight this battle? ”

"This matter, the junior brother is about to report to the senior brother." Gao pragmatic said: "The war in Yunnan may be fought on three sides to besiege Burma, but the main direction of attack is still Yunnan. ”

"Siege on three sides?" Wu Dui was surprised and said: "Mengyang, Luchuan, Mubang and other great Xuanwei have already lost everything, how to start with a siege on three sides?" ”

Gao Pragmatic stroked the ancient porcelain cup in his hand and said with a smile: "On the one hand, I will go south in Yunnan, on the other hand, I will go west in Siam, and on the other hand, I will go to the old land of Bago by sea...... Siege from the north, west, and south. ”

Wu Dui hurriedly asked where the other two roads came from, and Gao Pragmatic explained in detail the method discussed with Zhu Yijun yesterday.

"I didn't expect Siam and Annan to be able to contribute so much this time." Wu Dui sighed: "I originally heard that Siam and Laos have become vassals of Burma, and I thought that they would become the accomplices of the Mang chieftain this time, but I didn't expect you to arrange it in advance when you were in Guangxi...... The so-called people who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a moment, and they seek truth and eloquence, and the foolish brother is really not enough. ”

Gao Shiran naturally couldn't accept this praise on Shi Shiran, and hurriedly explained that he was in Annan at the time, and these news could be known nearby, so it was better to take precautions, and Senior Brother Wu, you are far away in Beijing, and if you can't get the news, you naturally can't consider that, this is all common sense, not worth it.

Wu Dui was the great Sima of the border pass of Jiuzhen, thought about it, and suddenly said: "As you plan, the main force of the Burmese rebels first fought with Liu Wei and Deng Zilong in Yunnan, and then there were police in southern Myanmar, so they had to go back to the division to rescue." And Annan's surprise attack will drag on in the old Bago land......

Seeking truth, I don't know if you have ever thought that in this way, Liu Wei and Deng Zilong are likely to quickly recover Mengyang, Luchuan, Mubang and other places, and then move their troops south. At this time, Siam and Annam can take the opportunity to join forces again, and at this time, they may be able to attack Donghu City on both sides and force the Mangmian to fight a decisive battle! ”

"Senior brother, this is just the best situation." Gao pragmatic shook his head: "Even if the military salary is abundant, in places like Yunnan and northern Myanmar, it is very difficult to transfer military rations. In the past, when I conquered Annan, the consumption of military rations by Cen Ling and Huang Zhiting on the north road far exceeded that of the south road where the sailors landed, because the grain transportation in the mountainous areas was not effective, and only one or two points of grain and grass could reach the front line in the end.

The terrain of Yunnan and northern Myanmar is even worse than that of northern Annam, not only the mountains are dangerous and densely forested, but also there are torrents and mountain streams blocking the road at every turn, and the more difficult it is to walk. Don't hide it from the senior brother, this time in the Yunnan war, the younger brother really didn't dare to hope that he could take all of Burma, if he could recover a few Xuanwei Divisions, it would be enough in the eyes of the younger brother. ”

Wu Dui thought about it, but after thinking about it, he frowned again and said: "But if it stops there, how will the imperial court appease Siam, Laos, and Annam?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: It seems that Senior Brother Wu still doesn't understand the nature of Annam, Siam, and Laos, and in his heart, he probably still looks at these families according to the attitude of the tributary period. He didn't know that Annam's attitude now actually depended on me ninety percent, and that Siam and Laos were just vassals that I indirectly controlled through Annam in my planning.

But that's okay, Senior Brother Wu's attitude should be able to represent the attitude of the important ministers in the court to a large extent, and they probably think that my status in Annan is great, which is Zhang Fu's status in Annan in the past. That is to say, as long as Annan is still a vassal state in their eyes, he will always exist as a trump card to deter Annan.

At present, his special position in the right wing of Mongolia is recognized by the imperial court: the Anda of Tumut Chechen Khan, and the reincarnation of the third Ming King of the Yellow Sect. It can be said that before the "Eastern System" was not completely successful, as a key figure in the "Western Huai", no one would and did not dare to ignore his huge influence on Tumut.

In this way, with an Annan, as well as Siam and Laos that Annan can strongly influence in the future, unless there is no fear of wolf smoke burning at the same time in the south of Xinjiang and Mobei, the imperial court will definitely not tear its face with itself.

Of course, tearing the face refers to the special circumstances of some people slandering the emperor, in fact, with Zhu Yijun's current trust in Gao Pragmatic, this possibility is basically zero.

It's just that Gao is pragmatic and cautious, especially when he knows that there are few great reformers in history who can die well, so he always thinks of a way out for himself while reforming.

It's a great pleasure to have such a thing as a way out, but if you need to use it, you really can't do without it, and if you don't have it, you're dead.

"The appeasement of Annan, the younger brother has already thought about it, and Cambodia is given to them. However, although Cambodia is just a wilderness for my Ming Dynasty, it is not much smaller than the mainland for Annam, and we have to do something for them to give so much at once-they need to provide effective support to help Siam and Laos to ensure that Siam and Laos can resist Burmese retaliation. In this way, not only will the three kingdoms be safe, but there is no need for me to spend a soldier or a salary. ”

Probably "I don't need to spend a soldier and a salary" moved Wu Dui, Da Sima was very happy when he heard this, and laughed: "Clever plan, wonderful plan!" Truth be told, you've really played so beautifully! ”

Then he paused, and said, "It's just a little bit, what do we say about Cambodia?" ”

Oh, Cambodia is also a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty, and there has to be an excuse.

However, Gao Pragmatic was very disdainful, and said lightly: "The other country has lost tribute for many years, and the imperial court sent Annan to question. ”

Wu Dui was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "This question...... It seems that tens of thousands of troops are going to ask, right? ”

Gao Pragmatic spread his hands slightly: "This is the problem of the envoy of Annan, the imperial court is just giving an explanation, as for how he completes it, what does the imperial court do to him?" Could it be that he has to be taught by the court what he eats for three meals? ”

When Wu Dui heard this, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head and sighed: "This Mo Dutong ...... Forget it, there are interests in opening up Cambodia, and a little infamy is not important. ”

Gao pragmatic smiled and didn't speak.

Modutong opens up Cambodia? Mo Dutong is now bored in the Dutong Embassy Mansion and playing hard to create people, and the opening of the territory really has nothing to do with him. The things I just said should all be decided by Jinghua as a national policy advisory group at that time, and it is just a matter of stamping the big seal of Modutong at the end.

The two drank and feasted for a while, and the atmosphere gradually rose, Wu Dui also relieved his anger at his son, and under Gao Shiji's persuasion, he was allowed to eat at the table - Wu Xun was strictly ordered by him to stand next to Gao Shishi and pour wine.

Although Wu Xun annoyed his father today, he gained a lot, and he was so excited that he didn't care whether he ate or not, of course, it was a good thing for his father's attitude to soften after all, so he sat down to eat in a proper manner. When he doesn't talk about business, he is very well-behaved, and his words and deeds are in line with his identity.

Wu Dui thought about it again at this time: "There are Liu Wei and Deng Zilong in Yunnan, Na Lixuan in Siam, and ...... in Laos Uh, what's the name of the brother and sister of the Dao family? ”

Gao pragmatic said: "My sister's name is Biajue, and her brother's name is Nuo Kyaukgumong. ”

"Oh yes, yes...... This Lao name is really strange. Wu Dui said: "Na Lixuan and the sister and brother of the Dao family are both from the local royal family, and they each led their soldiers and civilians to restore the country, which must be good." However, in my opinion, the Annan side is the key to the southern Xinjiang vassal state sending troops this time, not to mention the two ways to send troops...... Who is in charge of these two soldiers, do you have any arrangements for seeking truth? ”

Gao pragmatically said: "The Eastern Route Army supports Siam by land, and at present, I tend to let Nguyen Huang lead the troops. ”

"Ruan Huang?" Wu Dui thought about it carefully, and then remembered who Ruan Huang was, and asked, "Foolish brother remember, this person was originally a minister of the Zheng family?" ”

Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "The situation is more complicated, earlier the Zheng family actually snatched the military power from Ruan Huang's father, which is why Hou Li is rebellious." In addition, another reason why the younger brother wants to use Ruan Huang is that his son Ruan Fuyuan worships under the younger brother's door, which is actually equivalent to the proton handed over to Daming - this son is now in Liaoyang. ”

The implication is that Ruan Huang is relatively more reliable. Wu Dui understood, nodded and no longer dwelled on this matter, but asked again: "What about the Western Route Army?" ”

Gao Shi was about to answer, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Wu Dui frowned slightly, he confessed to the family, saying that during the banquet with the high school Cheng, there was no major event of the sky falling, don't bother, why did you knock on the door?

However, the next thing that sounded was Gao Mo's voice: "Master, news from the palace." ”

Gao Pragmatic and Wu Dui glanced at each other, and when they saw Wu Dui nodded, they said, "Come in and talk." ”

Gao Mo pushed the door in, and first confessed to Wu Dui, who naturally waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. Gao pragmatic let him report in front of Wu Dui.

Gao Mo said: "There is an edict on the saint: change Huang Zhiting to the guard of Yuedong Town; Cen Ling was changed to the guard of Yuexi Town. In addition, on the grounds that 'the former is divided into two parts of Annan, the Mo's chief envoy, and the Li family's deputy envoy', the post of deputy envoy of the Annan Metropolitan Department was re-established, and Huang Zhiting concurrently served as it. ”

This news was too sudden, not only Wu Dui was stunned, but even Gao Pragmatic was caught off guard by Zhu Yijun, and was stunned for a while before asking: "How many products does this deputy make, but it is hereditary?" ”

Gao Mo replied: "The edict said that because the envoy of the capital of Annan was the second rank, the deputy envoy was the third grade, and as for whether it was hereditary or not, it was not mentioned in the edict. ”

Gao pragmatic nodded, and said secretly in his heart: The emperor suddenly mentioned Huang Zhiting to the third grade at this point in time, could it be that he deliberately wanted to be on par with my current grade, so as to facilitate the marriage after winning this battle?

But why didn't he give it to the hereditary after giving it to the vice-governor of Annam? In the edict, the Later Li Dynasty was compared, saying that when the north and south of Annam were divided, Mo was the chief envoy and Li was the deputy envoy, so now the deputy capital is reset. However, the position of deputy capital of the Li clan at that time was obviously hereditary, and now it is not mentioned......

He was thinking about Zhu Yijun's intentions, but Wu Dui next to him suddenly asked: "Truth-seeking, this time the commander of the Annan West Route Army on a 10,000-mile expedition to the old land of Bago is not the Madame Huang, the guard of Yuedong Town?" ”

Huang Zhiting has not yet been married, and it stands to reason that of course there is no "Mrs.", but there are a lot of female toasters in the Ming Dynasty, so according to the "ancient system", the official title of a woman as an official (non-position, only level) is set as "a certain product and a certain lady", and this is what "Mrs. Huang" in Wu Dui's mouth means at this moment.

There is another detail that later generations sometimes confuse: for example, if Huang Zhiting marries Gao Shipra, then she must not be called "Mrs. Huang", but only "Mrs. Gao Huang", and her real surname cannot be crowned before "Mrs.". Wu Butang was born as a jinshi, so naturally he would not make such a mistake.

Gao Pragmatic was interrupted by Wu Dui like this, and he couldn't think deeply about Zhu Yijun's intentions for a while, so he could only reply: "Yes, the little brother was about to talk about this matter just now." ”

Wu Dui's eyes flashed with a different color, and he paused before saying: "Regarding this Mrs. Huang, the foolish brother has heard some rumors in Beijing, I don't know if it is true......

Gao pragmatic asked, "What kind of rumors?" ”

Wu Dui smiled and blinked: "The rumors are probably exaggerated, but the gist of it is nothing more than that there are some ...... between Mrs. Huang and Brother Xian Uh, an extraordinary friendship, I don't know what to do? ”

Asking this as Wu Dui, even Wu Xun next to him was a little embarrassed, but Gao Shipra's face was calm, and he nodded: "Yes, Zhiting and I have a lifelong covenant." ”

Not only did Wu Xun's eyes pop out at this moment, but Wu Dui was also shocked, and he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" Truthfully, this is not a joke! There is no objection among your people to this? ”

Gao pragmatic did not answer immediately, but took a sip from his wine glass, and then said slowly: "I think there will be." ”

"Then you still ...... What does Lingzun Lingtang say? Wu Dui was in a hurry at this time.

Gao Pragmatic put down his wine glass and sighed: "Jia Yan already knows, but he didn't answer me, Jia Ci's attitude...... I don't agree with it too much, but I also make it clear that I won't explicitly oppose it. ”

Wu Dui knocked on the table a little harder, and said: "The court members are married to Tusi, and they also want to marry the media, this is the first time in the two hundred years of the dynasty!" You...... Truth-seeking, you said that you are too, with your conditions, what kind of lady can't marry, if you have to make such a fuss, why bother? ”

Gao Pragmatic knew that it was purely self-seeking to talk about free love with an old jinshi like Wu Dui, who had "orthodox thoughts", so he had already thought about it, and his face was calm and solemn at this time, and he said lightly: "Senior brother, the reputation of the younger brother is small, and the eternal stability of Annan is big." ”

Wu Dui was stunned for a moment.

Gao Pragmatic sighed, and said in a serious manner: "Annan was recovered by the younger brother, and the younger brother can't tolerate Annan wandering away from my China again...... Can the senior brother understand the meaning of the younger brother? ”

Wu Dui was stunned for a long time, then suddenly got up, straightened his clothes, and solemnly waved towards Gao Pragmatic: "The virtuous brother is broad-minded and has deep intentions, and the foolish brother is not very good." Fang Cai's words were presumptuous, and he hoped that the virtuous brother would forgive his sins. ”
