The study is in the west room of the five main rooms, Gao ** does not know that there are other guests in the living room, he was born in a famous scholarly family, and naturally collects many books at home.

There was an unpleasant musty smell mixed with wine in the room, Gao ** sniffed, frowned, and said, "Big brother, you have been living a so bleak life!" ”

Master Liu said leisurely: "I'm quite happy. ”

"It's obviously asking for your own hardship." Gao ** looked hateful and regretful, "Even if you retire to the forest, you are still a rich idler, why should you be so alone and not eat the fireworks of the world?" ”

"I have good food and wine, and I have my own Yan Ruyu in the book."

"It's a pity that Yan Ruyu can't compare to the golden house and the living beauty."

Master Liu smiled bitterly: "Sixty sixties, seventy ancient rare, you and I should have no desires, red face and dry bones, don't do it." ”

"Big brother." Gao ** laughed and said: "Little brother is not persuading you to have three wives and four concubines, night and night**, but you are also sexual, there should always be a beauty with red sleeves and fragrance to study at night, right?" ”

Master Liu had no intention of talking nonsense with him, and waved his hand: "Gossip less, get back to business." You, the man of the year in the Shilin, are here, why are you here, and what are you doing? ”

Gao ** looked outside the door and said in a cautious whisper: "The national teacher over there has a letter that he wants to ask the eldest brother to see, but the younger brother is worried that something will go wrong, so he doesn't bring it with him." ”

Master Liu wondered: "Since the death of the lowly, I have long cut off any contact with that side, and I don't know what national teacher, what is his purpose in looking for me for no reason?" ”

"After all, you are a former court's concubine, and you have been a big official in charge of the army and the people, you are half a Mongolian, how can you cut off the family?" Gao ** finally took out a letter and presented it with respectful hands.

Master Liu opened the faith. When he looked down and saw that this was not a letter, but a warrant, he scolded angrily: "The barbarians outside the Saiwai are so arrogant, do you still think you are the lord of the Central Plains?" As he spoke, he tore the envelope to shreds.

"Wait, big brother, don't, what's going on?" Gao ** hurriedly snatched the letter.

Old Man Liu was so angry that he shouted: "You dare to canonize me as the king of Zhenbei, this is not to ask me to betray my ancestors." After death, will you be reviled by people from generation to generation? ”

"That's a great joy, why should the eldest brother be angry?" Gao ** looked surprised, and said with a smile knowingly: "Once the Mongolian iron hoof goes south again, the eldest brother will not become a royal family, which should be gratifying." ”

"You're confused." Master Liu was very incredible, and said in a deep voice: "Now the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is stable, the four seas are peaceful, the army is strong, and the Mongolians are divided. Even if you want to bow down to yourself, do you expect them to go south? ”

"Oh, what a beloved big brother this is." Gao ** looked envious, "This time and that time." The Mongols have gradually recovered their vitality, listen to me tell you about the general trend of the world, and break through this heavenly opportunity! ”

Standing up, Gao ** tiptoed to the door of the house. Sneakily looked around, only to see that there was no wind and grass in the courtyard, and the four fierce guards. Each stood in a corner, staring at each other.

He turned around and came back, pulled down the curtain again, and then said in a low voice: "Big brother, the orthodox crown prince of Dayuan succeeded to the throne, you have already heard of it, right?" ”

"So what, lost dog ears." Master Liu was very unimpressed.

"Then all the Mongolian tribes are interested in submitting to the Son of Destiny, this is the general trend, and it will not be difficult to order all the tribes in time, you know?" Gao ** asked with squinted eyes.

"The division of the Ming Tiger Ben is two million, and the praying mantis is just blocking the car, and besides, the Wara is powerful, loyal to the imperial court, and has long been dissatisfied with Mongolian orthodoxy, and is nothing more than the lord of half of the grassland, how can it compete with our dynasty that dominates the rivers and mountains?" Master Liu was dismissive.

Gao ** said with a smile: "This is true, but the Mongolians are Mongolians after all, and the grassland pays attention to the strong as the king, but it is weak at the moment, and it will not be difficult to unify the entire grassland in time and reproduce the glory of Yuan Taizu."

And Warat seems to be loyal, but it is nothing more than a temporary force can not be defeated, thinking that the Mongols and the Ming are not the same enemy, and so the national division pacified Warat, the elite iron cavalry can not be less than hundreds of thousands, and can break through Beiping with a snap of a finger. Even if you can't hit Jinling, it's easy to rule by dividing the river, looking at hundreds of years, only in recent decades, the southern Han people have occupied the north, and the younger brother privately thinks that the north will have to change hands sooner or later. ”

Master Liu said without thinking: "One foot has already stepped into the coffin, why should I risk my life to join the barbarians?" ”

"Who said I was going to take refuge in the barbarians? Anyway, I'm Han too. Gao ** mouthed into Master Liu's ear and said: "The national teacher promised that after going south, the entire Central Plains will be managed by the Han Emperor." Most of the Mongolian people also know that today is different from the past, the Han people can have extremely powerful firearms in their hands, and no matter how powerful the Mongolian iron cavalry is, it has lost its usefulness in front of the city fortress, so if you want to follow the example of the Jin Dynasty to the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, collect some tribute and silver two women.

He Mongolians have wishful thinking, so we won't take the plan into account? Take advantage of the opportunity to seize the entire north. Of course, the younger brother and the eldest brother may not be able to see that day when they are old, but they have contact with the Mongols in advance, in case the country is broken, we can also keep future generations from dying at home, right? The old Zhu family is a lowly mud leg, what qualifications do you have to be the emperor? ”

Master Liu was shocked and said hurriedly: "Aren't you learning from Shi Jingjiao to submit to foreign countries and be a puppet small court?" Aren't you afraid to be the second Zhang Bangchang and Qin Hui? ”

Gao ** was cowardly, but he couldn't hide the villain's proud face, and said with a smile: "The national teacher has promised me to be the prime minister, and the virtuous people in the world live there, if I can leave a name for eternity, I will admit it to be Zhang Bangchang." ”

"Emperor! You are the Emperor! The child emperor who betrayed his ancestors. Master Liu raised his voice and scolded.

Gao ** retorted: "I am also for the Han people not to be slaughtered, since the Liao, Song and Jin dynasties, which of the Han court is not a nest?" The land cession compensation was ignored by the people of the north? Even the villain Zhu Yuanzhang once won his ambition and killed the heroes, and as a result, his son conspired against his grandson, which has planted the internal cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Big brother, you go to the south for a walk, and the people of Shilin have long been separated from the imperial court. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Hongxi is still a benevolent and righteous king, the dead Zhu Di left him hundreds of thousands of elites, and the world would have been torn apart.

Once the successor is a faint king, he will give whatever he wants for pleasure. At that time, there were dissatisfied officials from all over the country, and there were Mongolians eyeing each other, and then they were unlucky enough to encounter natural disasters**, this splendid country is now as stable as Mount Tai, and it will be wiped out in a snap of your fingers. ”

"No way!" Seventy-year-old Master Liu is not easy to be fooled, and shook his head, "Now that the government is harmonious, the people are in their hearts, and the number of bright spirits is not exhausted." Although your words are very reasonable, I don't know how many years later. I don't want to get my whole clan beheaded for this. ”

"Heaven has sent a great responsibility to the Si people, and it is incumbent on you!" Gao ** moved the rhetoric, and tempted him to benefit, "The national teacher promised to send three thousand taels of gold, big brother, life is a lifetime of grass and autumn, why don't we use it to enjoy the glory and wealth?" By the way, he spent money to build schools, build bridges and roads, and leave a name for the eternity after his death. ”

"Just in case. That's a stench for 10,000 years! Master Liu's awe-inspiring beard was open, and he pointed at Gao ** and scolded: "**, the Mongolians treat you as a lackey, even if you can succeed." will also be included in the biography of the two ministers and thieves, as the saying goes, the bird is hidden in the bow, and it will be too late to regret it at that time. ”

Gao ** was annoyed, and his fat and swollen white face turned the color of pig liver. The goldfish's eyes bulged out, and he said with foam: "Liu Zongchang, don't forget your past." This is not up to you. You and me, whether it is a traitor or a traitor, no one wants to build a chastity archway anyway. After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away in anger.

The carriage left like a wind, and Master Liu came out and shouted loudly for the people to sweep the courtyard.

He vigorously opened the curtains again, pushed open the window, and stood in front of the window with angry eyes, really like a generation of sages who were worried about the country and the people.

The fragrance blew with the wind, and Miss Liu accompanied Xu Hao into the study.

"Grandfather." Miss Liu walked behind Master Liu with light steps, put her two hands on the old man's shoulders coquettishly, and said with a smile: "Your generous and sad song just now, even the children are enthusiastic when they hear it." ”

Master Liu said in a low voice: "I am reminded of Wen Tianxiang's 'who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat and green', when he was young, the old man was an official of the previous dynasty, but since I set the Ding of the Ming Dynasty, my Liu Zongchang was born a person of the Ming Dynasty, and I must be a ghost of the Ming Dynasty when I die." ”

"Well said! Mr. Liu is worthy of being a celebrity and a gentleman, and he is loyal and good in my dynasty. Xu Hao applauded in admiration, "There was a small misunderstanding with Ling Gongzi in Xia, and I sincerely admired you by listening to your words today, so I ordered the person to be released." ”

Miss Liu was puzzled, I don't know what's going on? Master Liu said happily: "Thank you, my lord, I am not to blame in the past, there is something wrong with the dog, and the old man will definitely reprimand him harshly." ”

"It's also a trivial fuss and misunderstanding the seniors." Xu Hao smiled again: "The lower official is a thousand years old as the prince of Ming, and he must invite the old man to come out of the mountain to be an official." ”

The old man Liu who said this sentence was very relieved, and instructed his granddaughter: "Go to the river to find a fisherman, buy a few live fish, all of them have to be about a foot, a pound up and down, and those who have just come out of the water are strung with willow branches." ”

"Yes." Hearing that her grandfather was going to be an official, Miss Liu took a deep look at Xu Hao and ran out with laughter.

Master Liu invited the guests to sit down, and said worriedly: "Recently, I heard that the Northwest Tartars are knocking on the customs, and the old man has trouble sleeping day and night." ”

"Rest assured, my lord, different times are different, why should the remnants of Mongolia be worried?" Xu Hao said lightly.

"That's, that's, I'm strong and strong, and how can the Tartars be opponents?" Master Liu said with a smile.

Xu Hao suddenly said: "Don't hide it from the boss, the lower officials are here to advise you not to refuse Arutai's hospitality, and to promise Gao **'s mention." ”

"How can it be!" Master Liu brushed his sleeves, spilled the tea, soaked his sleeves, broke the teacup, and looked indignant, "How can you be the same as Gao **?" ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "I hope that the boss can go deep into it, and after figuring out the truth and truth, the court will definitely not be stingy with rewards, and the boss can also get a hereditary command, and the descendants of Enmeng." ”

"Can you please help me?" Master Liu was stunned, and said seriously: "If there is an adult to help me strategize, then the big thing can be accomplished, and we will share the worries of the court together." ”

"It's a pity that I'm an official, and I love to help." Xu Hao floated the water on the table, "But I will give the boss some hands, all of them are smart and capable people." ”

Master Liu laughed and said: "The old man has always been good in employing people. I'll go to Gao ** right away and promise him. ”

"You don't have to act in a hurry, just ask the boss to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform."

Xu Hao is confident about this, he is not afraid of the other party's deception at all, the life of the whole family is in his own hands, can he do it without cooperation? This is the advantage of being in the imperial court, "In one day, it is hot and cold, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Gao**, anyway, he does not have the reputation of an old man, and he will definitely come to Weishui to visit Xian." ”

Master Liu praised: "It's still an adult who is resourceful, and the old man is ashamed of himself." ”

Xu Hao smiled and said leisurely: "Gao ** dares to unscrupulously win over people to be traitors, presumably not only has the support of the Tatar national division, but there should also be people in my court who secretly support him, and maybe there are some generals with troops, but it is not known."

There are villages and towns settled by the Mongol Hui people everywhere in the north, so it is not difficult to recruit soldiers, and I hope that the boss can get definite evidence, and the greater the credit, the greater the reward for the prince Chitose. ”

Master Liu frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you arrest it directly?" With the means of the government and the Jinyi Guard, it is not difficult to wipe out the evil, then the dragons below are naturally gone, why bother with such a roundabout? ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "The prince is young, now the spring and autumn are in full bloom, and now he is going to Beiping, why should the old man ask knowingly?" ”

"I see." Master Liu thought he understood. (To be continued......)
