Shi Yan Xuanwei Division, back to Longshan.

The group walked on the mountain path, and everything was silent, except for the creaking sound of footsteps stepping on the thick snow.

The white expanse is so clean.

"Lord Qiqi, the hill in front of you is my aunt's cemetery." Qin Yiming pointed with red eyes.

Liu Hongjian was dressed in a brocade cotton suit and a black cloak, and looked up at the hazy sun without making a sound.

After about a quarter of an hour's work, the group finally walked to the cemetery, the surrounding area of the cemetery was cleaned, and Ma Wannian, the grandson of Qin Liangyu, knelt in front of the tombstone in plain clothes and burned paper money.

"Wen Mian ......" Qin Yiming gently called Ma Wannian's name.

Ma Wannian turned his head to look behind him sluggishly.

"Big brother! Third brother, fourth brother! As if electrocuted, Ma Wannian slowly got up and shouted in a hoarse voice.

The three cousins are all in command, and the death of his grandmother is like the sky has fallen for Ma Wannian, who is only nineteen years old.

The four brothers came forward and just hugged each other and burst into tears, and Qin Yiming, Qin Zuoming, and Qin Gongming slowly paced to Qin Liangyu's tomb, and knelt down one after another.

"Unfilial son Yiming/Zuoming/Gongming, I've come to visit your old man!"

The man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place, and the three iron-clad men, even if they have never shed tears in the fierce battlefield battle for a day and night, are now as bitter as tears.

Their parents went early, and the three brothers grew up in the Ma family since they were young, and Qin Liangyu gave them more nurturing grace and teaching grace.

"Big brother, grandma said before she died, before I got a fame, the Ma family was in charge of you.

Grandma also said that my four brothers were born in danger, and they should work together to serve the court, so as to teach the Han family not to be bullied by the Northern Barbarians. After Ma Wannian finished speaking, he knelt down next to Qin Liangyu's tomb again.

The tombstone is cast in bluestone, and the front is engraved with the five big characters of 'Qin Liangyu's tomb', and the next side is engraved with the inscription 'Ming Zhen Shouchuan Shu Yungui Governor, Han and Tu Officers and Soldiers General Hang Zhendong General Intaibao Loyal Marquis'.

And below is engraved the auspicious birthday of the second year of the Ming Wanli, died in the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, and the filial grandson Ma Wannian was established.

"Wen Mian, this is His Royal Highness the King of Anguo, come and pay tribute." The three brothers were so sad for a while that they forgot that there was still a prince standing in front of them, Qin Zuoming wiped his tears and pulled Ma Wannian to say.

"Ma Wannian greets the prince!" Ma Wannian immediately knelt down to salute Liu Hong, but was gradually held by Liu Hong.

Since the battle with the bandit Zhang Xianzhong last year, Ma Wannian suddenly woke up and decided to abandon literature and join the military, and now he has the identity of a martial artist.

"Brother Ma is exempt, the old general Qin passed away, the Ming Dynasty lost a pillar stone, and the king came to mourn in his heart." Liu Hong gradually said gently.

When my grandmother was dying, she also told Wen Mian that she had gone through no less than 100 hard battles, vicious battles, and death battles in her life, and she had no regrets about being loyal to the country.

But only I can't forget the kindness of your acquaintance, and let Wen Mian if she is lucky enough to see the prince, she will definitely kowtow three times for her as a reward. ”

After Ma Wannian finished speaking, he ignored Liu Hong's gradual obstruction, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and when he got up, his forehead was already covered with snow and gravel.

Liu Hong gradually helped Ma Wannian up silently, slowly paced to Qin Liangyu's tomb, and was about to kneel.

"My lord, you are the prince, so there is no need to ......," Qin Yiming reminded in a low voice.

"She's an elder, and she deserves it." After speaking, Liu Hong gradually knelt on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed three times to the tombstone.

The three brothers of the Qin family and Ma Wannian immediately knelt down behind Liu Hongjian one after another.

"Old General Qin, this king has come to see you!" Liu Hong gradually grabbed a handful of paper money from the bamboo basket on the side and threw it into the brazier in front of the tombstone, and said.

"Your husband Ma Qiancheng pacified Yang Yinglong's rebellion, your brother Qin Bangping and Qin Banghan died in the Hunhe River, your brother Qin Minping died in the rebellion of Lu'an, and your only son Ma Xianglin and daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi died in the battle of Xiangyang......

The Ma family and the Qin family have been heroic for generations, and the court has never dared to forget it, and your exploits will remain in the annals of history forever for the people to praise.

When the king returns to Beijing, he will ask for the seal for the old general, add the right pillar country, and write a biography for the old general.

You are looking down and watching, this king will do his best in this life, so that you can see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and see that the people are no longer enslaved by the captives.

You have fought for the Ming Dynasty for 50 years and worked hard all your life, and now you can finally rest in peace! ”

After speaking, Liu Hongjian kowtowed three more times.

"Lord Wang, don't freeze your body when it's cold here, get up and go back to the house." Qin Yiming got up and helped Liu Hong and said.

When he arrived in Mafu, Liu Hongjian still couldn't let go, and the veterans who could be in charge of the Ming Dynasty withered one by one, and now only Huang Degong, who guarded the nine sides, was left.

These veterans basically only fought wars and were not good at governance, and many of them were suppressed, bullied, and even dismissed on trumped-up charges by the Chinese courtiers.

And all he can do is to provide armaments for soldiers from all over the world, and deal with the courtiers for these soldiers.

He is not a hard-working person, he also knows that he is lazy, but he has never shirked any responsibility in this regard, a country is strong, one is education, science and technology, and the other is the army.

The military, in particular, must not allow any minor touches.

"Lord Wang, the meal is ready, please eat!" Qin Yiming walked over and said to Liu Hong.

According to the etiquette system, the descendants of their fathers should be filial piety for three years, and Qin Liangyu's son and daughter-in-law died in battle, and the responsibility of keeping filial piety will inevitably fall on Ma Wannian.

Although the three brothers of Qin Yiming are not members of the Ma family, Qin Liangyu has the grace of nurturing them, and because the three of them have official positions, after discussion, the three of them decided to keep filial piety in Shiyan for three months to fulfill their filial piety.

"I've been tired for eight or nine days, so sit down and eat some!" Liu Hong gradually saw several dishes on the table, so he said to Qin Yiming and Niu Zhuang.

Niu Zhuang sat down, while Qin Yiming said that he had eaten just now and waited quietly aside.

"How old is Yi Ming this year?" Liu Hongjian was not polite, and asked while eating.

"Back to the prince, there are two generals today Chinese New Year's Eve Qin Yiming didn't know the reason, so he replied.

"You're younger, but it's okay, your third and fourth brothers need to stay in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the future, and you will be the governor of the southwest." Liu Honggradually thought about it for a moment and said.

Although Zhang Xianzhong has been taken down, there are many disputes between the Sichuan-Shu and Yunnan-Guizhou ethnic groups, and there are many disputes among the local officials of various tribes, plus Yunnan is adjacent to Burma, Siam, Annam and other countries, so he still cannot take it lightly.

"Lord Wang, the last general is still young and lacks qualifications, I am afraid that he will not be able to take on this important responsibility, and please ask the prince to ......"

"This king thinks you are fully competent, don't shirk it anymore." Liu Hong gradually waved his hand, interrupting Qin Yiming's excuse.

The appointment of officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty is the same as that of later generations, for example, if you want to enter the cabinet, you must be born in the Shuji and have studied in the Hanlin Academy, even if you have not been a secretary of the ministry, at least you have to be a squire and so on.

Basically, there is no forty-year-old who wants to enter the Cabinet, and this is also the case at the level of the Governor.

But Liu Hong gradually doesn't care much about this, he is not ambitious, isn't he only twenty years old to supervise Ji Liao?

It is precisely because there are many tribes in Sichuan, Shu and Yungui that there is a greater need for someone who understands the situation here to be in charge of the army, which Qin Yiming should not let go.

Otherwise, if you really let the imperial court send a civil official who can only do anything and talk on paper, the people of Sichuan and Shu will really have eight lifetimes of blood mold.

Liu Hong gradually said this, Qin Yiming naturally no longer shirked, took over the white pole corps, and was loyal to the imperial court, but it was also his ambition to fulfill his aunt's last wish.

The New Year is approaching, and Liu Honggradually planned to return to Beijing directly after mourning the old general Qin, but since he returned to Longshan, the heavy snow came, and it did not stop for a whole day and night.

Liu Hong gradually looked at the misty and snowy sky outside the window, and couldn't help frowning.

"Lord Wang, there are a few people from Jinyi Guard outside, saying that they are here to find you." Qin Yiming came in and said softly.

Under Liu Hong's gradual instruction, a brocade guard dressed in the uniform of a thousand household officials came in, and his shoulders were all snow-white.

"How are you?" Liu Hongjian was very surprised.

Jinyiwei is all over the country, and Sichuan and Shu naturally have strongholds, but it is Liang Kewang, the nephew of Liang Yang, who is sitting in the Yamen of Jinyiwei in the capital, who came to spread the news.

Liang Kewang shook the snow on his shoulders and saluted Liu Hong, and then looked at Niu Zhuang and Qin Yiming, Qin Yiming consciously arched his hand and retreated, while Niu Zhuang was still standing behind Liu Hong.

"Tell me, what's going on in the capital?" Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, Emperor Taishang...... Be critically ill! ”
