"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: General soldiers Liu Ling, Li Rubai, Juniper, Ma Lin, Geng Yu ......, admire this!" Three months later, the city of Shenyang, Liaodong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, Gu Xiao had already left Hetuhara and returned to Shenyang City with the army, and at this moment, he and some other high-ranking generals who had won the battle were kneeling in front of an old eunuch with a strange yin and yang attitude, listening respectfully to the holy decree brought by this old eunuch from the capital.

A large group of generals who fought bloodily and won the battle with great difficulty were all full of joy after being informed of the holy decree from the capital, but after the holy decree had only been read for a short time, none of these people who came to receive the decree could still laugh.

No! It should be said that there is still such a person who can laugh!

This person's name is Yang Ho!

Because in terms of the holy decree, he, a civil official and supervisor, can be said to have gained fame and fortune again, and the black gauze hat on his head is big again.

The content of the decree was very long, and after the old eunuch finally finished reading it, among all the people, except for Yang Hao, no one else could still laugh.

Because the content of the decree is very simple: that is, although they won the battle, they burned and plundered, so the emperor decided to give them no reward or punishment. Yang Hao, the old bastard, had the title of prince and prince on his head, and all of them were ordered to return to their own defense area at a later date.

Gu Xiao knelt below, listening to the rebuke specially written to himself on the holy decree, and his heart suddenly became cold.

Emperor Wanli is certainly not a Ming monarch!

He knew this very well in his heart. Just because Emperor Wanli was able to treat Zhang Juzheng after the death of his teacher Zhang Juzheng, it can prove that he is a mean and unkind person. It's just that Gu Xiao doesn't care what kind of person Emperor Wanli is. Because in his opinion, the emperors are almost the same, and basically can't find a good person.

Even Li Shimin, the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty who has been praised by countless people, is not a mess in terms of personal morality!

But what he couldn't accept was. Emperor Wanli would treat himself like this!

Because in the holy decree that was specially said to himself, Emperor Wanli obviously knew what kind of power his four divisions of the Wind Forest Volcano had, and his four troops and horses had now been very simply classified as the commander of the Beijing camp. Now, he's become a bare-bones soldier. It is estimated that he will return to Yansui alone.

Gu Xiao understood why Emperor Wanli did this, because although this old guy had already mixed countless sands into his army, he was still not at ease in his heart, because such a capable army was naturally suitable for his own hands.

It is no exaggeration to say. Gu Xiao has now become the one who loses the most.

Because as long as anyone with brains can see that he is the first hero to win this battle, but instead of getting the slightest benefit, he also lost the soldiers and horses in his hands.

You must know that although the current Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point where soldiers are generals in the Chongzhen period, almost all the generals who lead the troops will focus on cultivating a team of family members for themselves, that is, the real elite. Back then, Li Chengliang was precisely because he had 8,000 families in his hands. can be the king of Liaodong in this Liaodong in peace!

Now, although Gu Xiao did not focus on supporting his family, he lost the elite he pulled out single-handedly, and it was still a little difficult to accept it in his heart. Because of this, he is very doubtful that he will be able to return to Shaanxi alive, because a lonely Geng Shaonan, presumably many people on the rivers and lakes will like it!

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is really going to die? Gu Xiao stood up from the ground with mixed feelings, and said secretly in his heart.

He knows it well. Even if he really killed all the wild boar skin father and son, and the corpses were all broken and ashes, it does not mean that the Ming Dynasty can turn the corner. The biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty is not external trouble. It's internal worries, that is, financial bankruptcy!

In that year, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, because he himself was so disgusted with businessmen that he had military households when he determined the national household registration. Medical households, farmers or something, but the only thing that does not have it is the merchants. Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn't know how to do business at all, thought that by doing so, he could completely eliminate the businessmen and make it impossible for those illegal profiteers to appear.

But I didn't know that by doing this, I had created the best hotbed for collusion between officials and businessmen! Because the merchants did not have a household registration, it naturally meant that it became very difficult for them to collect their taxes, as long as they took refuge in the doors of those officials who had the right to tax exemption, they could immediately make a lot of money.

After two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty have become the spokesmen of those big businessmen, especially the big businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River as the main body, and the famous Donglin Party itself represents the interests of the big landowners and big businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be said that the problem of the Ming Dynasty was that the rich relied on the protection of officials to evade taxes on a large scale, while the poor could only bear taxes from all sides.

Almost ten years later, the peasant uprising in Shaanxi was forced out by the fool Emperor Chongzhen.

After Emperor Chongzhen deposed the Wanli and Tianqi dynasties and imposed commercial taxes on the south, the imperial court immediately couldn't make ends meet. In order to collect taxes, this fool actually came up with the idea of imposing heavy taxes on the hungry people in the north who were already hungry on bark and grass roots at that time, and immediately forced the starving people in the north who had already starved to death at that time.

If this financial problem is not solved, it will be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to turn the corner for a day. Because with the help of the Donglin Party's group of death experts, even if there is no Jianju, they can support another Jianju, and there is no cure for the chronic disease of the Ming Dynasty at all!

Gu Xiao understood that Emperor Wanli thought that Jianyu had been eliminated, so it would be useless for him, a brave and warlike general, to deal with himself, a general who might develop into another Li Chengliang, which made Gu Xiao immediately a little desperate for the Ming Dynasty.

At night, in Gu Xiao's room.

He's packing his things.

Through the relationship of Jinyiwei, the chapter he sent to Emperor Wanli has been rejected, and Emperor Wanli still scolded him in the secret decree given to him, accusing him of being reckless and useless, and ordered him to return to Shaanxi as soon as possible, and from then on to keep himself.

Gu Xiao is really confused now, should he continue to be an official in the court? Because even if he has the ability to write and write the world, and the martial arts can be used to determine the world, but if he wants to reverse the fate of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, which has long been rotten to the bones, he still feels powerless for a while.

Instead of being an official in this court, it is better to find a way to cultivate a Qin Emperor and Han Wulai! This is the thought that suddenly rose in Gu Xiao's heart after receiving the secret decree of Emperor Wanli.

At this time, Gu Xiao understood that although Emperor Wanli scolded him a lot, he did not have murderous intentions. Most of the decrees and secret decrees were made under the persecution of those civil officials. And he knows that the power of the civil officials and scholars of the Ming Dynasty is too great, since he can influence the will of the Wanli Emperor, if he can't destroy the scholar class, then the world of the Ming Dynasty is destined to survive, and his identity as a military general is destined to be hostile to the civilian forces, and if he wants to promote reform, it is simply impossible.

It's just that he still can't make this decision, after all, so far in this world, he really can't find such a Qin Emperor Han Wulai!

"What are you doing here?" At this time, from behind Gu Xiao, a crisp voice suddenly sounded, waking him up.

Gu Xiao turned his head and saw Lian Ni Sheng in pale yellow clothes standing behind him, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't you say that you were going to see your senior brother?" How did you get back? ”

Before this expedition, Lian Nishang said that he had a senior brother and went to see this person. At that time, Gu Xiao thought of Yue Mingke, the disciple of Huo Tiandu, the master who practiced Ni Shang, that is, the later master of the Seven Swords of the Tianshan Mountains, Master Hui Ming, but he couldn't think of how this person could appear here.

To know. Since Yue Mingke is Xiong Tingbi's counselor, Xiong Tingbi doesn't know where he is now, so this person should still be studying art in Tianshan, how can he appear in Liaodong. Moreover, listening to Lian Nishang's tone, it seems that he still has contact with Yue Mingke.

However, after thinking of the incident in Shuzhong, he immediately understood.

Lian Nishang said vividly: "My senior brother is not here, I don't know where to go." ”

"I've already heard about it," Speaking of this, Lian Nishang suddenly remembered another thing, when she came back this time, she had already heard about the treatment that these heroes had received after winning the battle and annihilating Jianyu, "What are your plans next?" ”

When Gu Xiao heard this, his face froze, and he said after a while: "I don't know, I can only take one step at a time now!" ”

Hearing Gu Xiao's words, Lian Nishang's face immediately darkened.

To be honest, after hearing this unexpected news, she still had some joy in her heart, because in her opinion, this man, in this way, should always die in the face of the rotten court, even if he does not rebel, he should choose to leave. But after hearing him say this, Lian Nishang immediately involuntarily felt a trace of haze in her heart, at this moment, Lian Nishang thought that she understood the thoughts of the man in front of her, she still underestimated this man's enthusiasm for power and foolish loyalty to this corrupt dynasty, she couldn't change this man at all!
