【Commentary 069】Chapter 9 Three Sticks and Drums

Chang Sihao nodded: "It seems that I drank it somewhere."

Long Qing looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Xian was rerouted to Sichuan when he went out of Beijing last time, and he should have passed by Yibin when he turned back." ”

Chang Sihao's heart is like a mirror: the taste of this wine is the same as what the eldest grandson Xiaochi drank in the Linxi Grass House, and the surface is still a look that he doesn't care much, Long Qing smiled: "Yibin has been known as the wine capital since ancient times, and the craftsmanship of several large pots is really good, one of the old old pots is made mellow and thick, with a long aftertaste, which is especially commendable. ”

Chang Sihao drank the rest of the wine, looked at the bottom of the cup, this time he returned, he did not reveal to the emperor and others about the eldest grandson Xiaochi in Yibin, and when he met with the eldest grandson Xiaochi, Qi Zhonghua was dead, Wu Zhiming, Guo Qiang and Ni Honglei were all dismissed, according to the news, no one should leak the news, is it ...... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but suppress the ** that glanced at Guo Shu Ronghua's expression,

Long Qing saw that his voice was the same, so he smiled slightly and said: "Some time ago, a book suddenly appeared in the south, although he killed Liu Shiyan of Zhixian County and snatched some grain and grass, but because of this, he also showed his traces, and was seized by General Yu, and hit a falling flower [Xianmo: A sentence of the war situation in the south, save the pen], although I failed to capture a copy alive, but this road thief is not enough to fear, the day before yesterday, General Yu wrote a letter and asked to be transferred back to Guangxi, and I have already approved. ”

Liu Jinwu's figure folded slightly: "Your Majesty, the old general, please be so urgent, he is also worried about Gutian's affairs." ”

Chang Sihao was accustomed to his usual demeanor, and then looked at the solemnity of his face at the moment, he felt ridiculous, and he also pretended to be solemn and said: "Your Majesty, General Yu is short of major generals under the old general, once Gutian fights, I am afraid that he will be difficult to support, after the head of the famous family, the door of the tiger, stay by your side as the head of the guard, it is too condescending, before we chatted in private, Manager Liu has also repeatedly expressed that he is willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, why not take this opportunity to transfer him to the army to listen to the use, so that he can show his talents." ”

"Huh. Liu Jinwu grinned, his expression was extremely strange,

Long Qing smiled: "Well, I have long had this intention. Liu Jinwu heard it and said, "Eh." After a while, he suddenly realized that this was disrespectful, and hurriedly shut his mouth, Long Qing's face darkened a little, and continued: "However, with the current national strength, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to fight. Lord Qi presided over the training and other items, although he tried his best to be frugal, he also spent nearly 200,000 taels, and it is still increasing, Wang Chonggu in the west took the initiative to attack, and continuously sent troops to pound the nest, and even less had to reward the soldiers, and now the treasury has no silver to spend, only a temporary tax increase, but the tax in the middle of Jiajing is already a year of pressure for a year, last year's tax is this year's tax, this year's tax is next year's tax, if it is forcibly apportioned, it will not be used until the end of the year, and the tax collected is only afraid of the next year's tax...... Alas......" Speaking of this, he sighed, grabbed Chang Sihao's wrist on the table and patted it gently: "Brother Xian, what do you say about this?" ”

Chang Sihao listened to the beginning of the count, thinking: Good guy, come and cry with me again, the eldest grandson Xiaochi gave you all the money from the sale of Shui Yanxiang, why is the treasury empty again so quickly, but listening to his calculation, it is not a lie, he has been in the army, and he understands everything, there are no soldiers today, and he eats two or three meals for ordinary people. Xianmo: The remote areas are indeed a problem, such as Tibet, transport up a hundred catties of grain, the porter has to eat 300 catties, and the livestock has to be fed, even today, the highway is developed, the railway has also been repaired, and the supply of materials is still a major matter], the construction of the Great Wall to recruit craftsmen and craftsmen, burn bricks and stones, and also cost money, although the 300,000 taels are not a small number, it is really a drop in the bucket to put it on state affairs, but you tell me about this kind of thing, what can I do, I can't invite Lao Xu back again [Xianmo: Please come back and tear down the east wall, it's still a taste],

However, at this moment, the other party looked at him with an earnest face, and he couldn't help but answer, and he was in a hurry, and his heart suddenly flashed: "I'm an idiot, don't take the opportunity to say it at this time, but when." Haha smiled and said: "Hey, what am I talking about, if it's just a matter of money, the emperor doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Long Qing was stunned and asked, "Brother Xian has a way." ”

Chang Sihao said: "Money is a thing, cast so much and not eaten, so it will only flow around like water, will not disappear in vain, the reason why it will not be seen, is not by some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, these people are the reservoir lake, you are the emperor is the sea, the water flows to the sea, as long as you carry out an anti-corruption campaign, from top to bottom, your pocket will not bulge." ”

Long Qing was silent when he heard this, Liu Jinwu said: "Hou Ye's idea is very good, but from ancient times to the present, there are always more corrupt officials than Qing officials, and there are no fish when the water is clear, some people know that he is greedy, and they still have to use it, especially those with higher official positions, the relationship is complicated, the branches are too wide, and it is inevitable to move the whole body, if you only fight corruption at the lower levels, even if you collect money, they will go to the people to scrape, and if you strip the power and deal with the law, it is not easy to find so many people to replace the predecessor." ”

Chang Sihao said: "Ho, according to what you say, the big officials can't move, the small officials can't move, if they are greedy, they should be greedy, and if they are moth, they should be bored, let's just stare and wait, waiting for the end of the game together." ”

Liu Jinwu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, no, there is no such intention, there is absolutely no such intention." Long Qing raised his hand and said, "Brother Xian, what Jin Wu is worried about is not unreasonable, besides, this kind of thing is too big a move when it starts, which makes people panic, but it is not beautiful." Chang Sihao said with a smile: "The implication in power is too wide, don't move, then you can always go to the field, when you are in office, you can make a ditch full of trenches, and you will be a rich man after the office, it is inevitably too cheap, your Majesty, do you say it." ”

The direction of these words is extremely clear, obviously it is said to Xu Ge Lao, who has just stepped down, at this time, at that time, after Lao Xu stepped down, the people in Beijing immediately fell with the wind, which made him bolder after seeing it, how could Longqing and Liu Jinwu not understand, but Xu Jiefuguo for many years, just retired from the scenery to find out his old accounts, this kind of thing is too impersonal to do [Xianmo: It is still a decent question, the decency of the officials has the decency, the decency of the state has the dignity of the state, that is, the people have no decency, I hope that the project will allocate 100 million, the lighting project, The gift project will allocate 20 billion yuan], Guo Shu Ronghua smiled slightly: "What the Hou Ye said is very true, but to investigate the corrupt people, it is necessary to present evidence, investigate, verify, and try. To convince people with virtue, the driving force behind Gutian is Juhao Pavilion, as far as Ronghua knows, there are many characters in his pavilion who can be called talented and heroic, but the idea is extreme, so that he has gone on the wrong path, Hou Ye has also been in contact with some of them, I believe that at this point, there should be a consensus with Ronghua, I believe you don't want to start a war, both sides will be burned, but let Tibet, Tatar, Tuman, these foreign fishermen take profit. ”

Chang Sihao listened quietly, these words hit his heart one by one, but he knew that Guo Shu Ronghua had no good intentions for the sake of the people in the rivers and lakes, and most of them were using this as a reason to guide himself step by step to the destination he expected, but he couldn't find the slightest gap that could be interjected and argued [Xianmo: A capable person, domineering is never exposed, you can disagree, but you must follow my path, this is the character,],

Guo Shu Ronghua raised his eyes slightly: "In fact, some time ago, the factory found a news, saying that the eldest grandson Xiaochi and his wife went up the Yangtze River, avoiding the old subordinates, and finally disappeared near Yibin. He looked at Chang Sihao's expression, his gaze turned back and lowered, his fingertips gently rubbed on the strings, and he continued with a smile: "The water girl loves the things in the cup, and the two of them must have been nostalgic for the good wine there, so they looked for a place to live in seclusion." ”

Long Qing said: "After listening to Ronghua's report on this matter, I am very happy, Brother Xian, before the former you went north to Liaodong, we also discussed this matter, at that time, I didn't know the whereabouts of the imperial brother, and there was nothing else to talk about, you once said that the matter of Juhao Pavilion and Gutian was best resolved peacefully, I thought about it these days, and I thought it was true, but those people were self-sustaining by force and full of hostility, our words, how could they listen to it, this needs to find the imperial brother, and ask him to mediate between the old subordinates to break this situation......"

Chang Sihao pondered: The royal identity of the eldest grandson Xiaochi needs to be kept secret, and if you want to find him, you can't send outsiders to him, Gonggong Feng is entangled by the little prince every day and can't get out, Guo Shu Ronghua and Liu Jinwu are not familiar with him, and they can't hand over the words when they meet, so who does this task fall on, do you still need to ask, the question is that he has persuaded the eldest grandson Xiaochi once, and the other party has no interest in going out of the mountain, so what's the point of finding the door again, but at this moment, I can only talk in my heart, but I can't mention it clearly,

Long Qing saw that his face was stunned, and sighed: "Brother Xian, it is a matter of life and death, the country's plan, Brother Fool has decided to go in person in the name of parade to persuade the imperial brother, but the country belongs to me, but as the Son of Heaven it is difficult to move an inch, the ministers heard about this, and they all opposed [Xianmo: It's strange to hear about it], mainly for safety reasons, if the virtuous brother can accompany me to support, I believe they will have nothing to say." [Xianmo: Retreat is second, it is to retreat as advance, just like the two of them go out shopping, look at a ring of three thousand, the husband wants to buy 12,000, say buy a good one, you feel sorry for the money, a comparison and don't look down on the cheap one, but simply don't buy anything, men often trick like this,]

Chang Sihao knew that what he said was a lie, but no matter what, compared with what he talked about last time, the emperor's attitude towards solving the problem by force has changed, and it is finally a progress. Longqing was overjoyed: "The royal brother and the virtuous brother have a deep affection, and if you want to come, everything will go well, but the virtuous brother is tired when he returns from the south, and he should have rested well in Beijing, and he doesn't want to make you tired and tired. ”

Chang Sihao looked at him with a smile: "This matter is nothing more than the duty of a minister, so there is nothing to do." [Xianmo: It turned out to be true and false, but now it's all fake, and there is no truth anymore,]

Long Qing said with emotion: "There is a virtuous brother to share my worries, and the real country is lucky." He poured three glasses of imperial wine, and beckoned to the side to ask for a pen and paper, Chang Sihao looked at his quick writing and writing, and thought: "This sour man has a lot of twists and turns, and he coaxed Lao Xu to be this set of words, and now it is on Lao Tzu's head, I don't know how to deal with me in the future, things should be done or have to be done, but I can't trust him too much, [Xianmo: Xiao Chang is becoming more and more shrewd, but shrewdness still has to be used, it is his ambition to be a swordsman, so he can endure and endure, write Xiao Chang, it is to write about the difficulties of the Hundred Swords League in Beijing in the past, Zheng Meng's suffering in many ways, this kind of thing is too cumbersome to write hard, and the side pen can be distracted by hooking one or two,]"

Long Qing wrote the book and sealed it, and handed over a few golden tickets together: "These plates are used for the virtuous brother on the road, and my thoughts are also written in the letter. ”

Chang Sihao took it in response, got up and prepared to retire, and said: "The stakes are very high, and the virtuous brother should try to bring as few entourages as possible, so as not to leak." Chang Sihao understood in his heart, and covered his hand: "The emperor can rest assured." Long Qing seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, Lord Qi has been training in three places, and he has arrived in Changping today. Chang Sihao smiled, and said in his heart that the soldiers trained by Lord Qi still use me to check it, and he didn't say much, he lowered his head and said yes, Guo Shu Ronghua personally sent him out of the palace, and there was already a tall horse prepared there outside, it was Sanhe Lihua, Guo Shu Ronghua smiled: "After the Hou Ye went to sea, this horse was obtained by Liu Shiyan, and he gave it to Wu Shilai, Wu Shilai was escorted to Beijing a while ago, and even this horse was sent back, but the feeding along the road was not fine, and some fat was lost. Xian Mo: Fine, changing the farrier is to write the distance of the road, and writing the road is to write about the suffering of Xiaochang in front of him, the farrier can be thinned, the heroic spirit can not be eliminated, the good man only has ideals in his heart, how difficult the journey is, just waiting for leisure, how much wind and rain, how much difficulty, how much thoughtful care, are written out from a pair of shoes, and now it is a living dragon, and it is specially brought to use with Hou Ye. Chang Sihao smiled and said: "More of the Governor's kindness, [Xianmo: Xiaoxue Langhua stretched out a finger: Why don't you ......]" turned his head to look at the sky, and made a look of embarrassment: "Oh, Yibin is a very big place, it is not easy to find two reclusive people, can the Governor give me some guidance." ”

Guo Shu Ronghua said with a smile: "Hou Ye has also drunk the multigrain wine of Lao Chen's pot, and it is not easy to find their customers." ”

"Hmm. Chang Sihao nodded and turned over his horse, and said with a rein: "I see that the Guanyin offered in the governor's house can be withdrawn." ”

Guo Shu Ronghua slowly stretched his eyelashes: "Oh, why." ”

Chang Sihao said: "The heart of the governor is exquisite, and it has already penetrated the heavens and the earth, and what kind of hands and eyes do you need?" ”

The four eyes looked at each other for a moment, one lowered his head and pursed his lips, and the other looked up to the sky and laughed, [Xianmo: At this moment, the two are true confidants, but unfortunately they take different routes, and they can't be forced to ask for anything in the world,] [Xianmo Second Comment: It is said that it is a confidant, in fact, Xiao Guo knows Xiao Chang well, Xiao Chang knows but can't know Xiao Guo, status, intelligence, and heart, and purses his lips, there is recognition, there is no recognition, but he is silent, you want to think, you have to say, laughing, it is "I see you through", Xiao Chang is conceited, and his eyesight has not yet reached home,]

Farewell to Guo Shu Ronghua, Chang Sihao galloped forward to return to the Hou Mansion, did not ride far, he saw the red flag in front of him, the sound of hooves was loud, more than ten horsemen and horses came head-on, for the first one to roll the winged helmet with bright silver flying feathers, cover the lock edge of the large leaf gold scale armor, the lancet obliquely outside the crotch, the victory hook gun hung red tassels, it was Qi Jiguang, he saw Chang Sihao from afar, smiled when he landed, rolled down the saddle, and ran forward with a shaky armor leaf,

Chang Sihao also got off the horse, Qi Jiguang came to the front and supported him with his elbow shaking violently, excited, Chang Sihao knew that he was happy for the success of Xu Xu, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to say, and said with a smile: "Lord Qi [Xianmo: Fine, although Xiao Chang is happy, he is not cautious, he refuses to call the big brother on the street, he still avoids the party, but the smile has betrayed him, and the good man can't hide his heart,], you have lost a lot of weight, and this face is black and black, and you will catch up with me." Qi Jiguang laughed, and Chang Sihao asked: "I heard that you are in Changping, how did you come to Beijing." Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "The emperor has a decree, let my department rectify the spiritual rehearsal formation, and be ready to accept the inspection of the Marquis of Yunzhong at any time, when I hear it, what are you waiting for, won't I come to pick you up." Chang Sihao said with a smile: "That's right, I've been eating and drinking with the officials of the DPRK and China these days, and I've long thought about going to the camp to walk around and relax, let's go." ”

"Good. Qi Jiguang agreed, the two got on their horses and walked together, and more than ten iron horsemen slowly fell behind.

The people on the street saw that the military horses were hiding far away, how Chang Sihao met Zhao Qi in Huating, how he arrested Xu Da Xu Er, how Mr. Qingteng went to Beijing, how to tease Zhang Qi, how Guo Shu Ronghua sent the word Shou, How to put Xu Da Xu Er into the box as a gift to Xu Jie, etc., Qi Jiguang was training outside, and he only knew a little rough about these originals, and he heard the details of the inside story at this time, and he was nervous and laughed for a while, and when he heard the music, he whipped the horsewhip in the palm of his hand and crackled it, screaming happily, and when he heard how Mr. Qingteng painted a secondary painting and sent it, Xu Jie's resignation was so frightened that he hurriedly interjected: "You misunderstood this, that painting is not a lie, and Xu Jie can be frightened by a painting." "[Xianmo: The riddle should be opened, three paintings, it is necessary to solve one first, give an idea, and then there will be guesses, otherwise unless the intelligence is outstanding, I really can't figure it out,]

Chang Sihao said: "We all think that the painting has a mystery, but Mr. Qingteng doesn't say it, we are a little puzzled, but the eldest brother understands the true meaning." [Xianmo: Those who understand calligraphy and painting can't guess, and those who don't understand military attachés can't guess, isn't it strange]

[Xian Mo: This chapter is called three sticks and drums, try to think about which three sticks, Xiao Chang explores Longqing's hole cards, tries to push Guo Pu, is the first stick, Longqing persuades Xiao Chang, knocks on the side drum, and counts as a stick, Xiao Chang meets Brother Qi, it is a happy drum, for the third stick, in fact, there are not only these three sticks, but also the small three sticks, Longqing takes Wuliangye to try Xiao Chang, it is a small stick, Jin Wu "speaks for Xiao Chang" , It's a small stick again, Xiao Chang pretends to be on the horse and doesn't know, ask Xiao Guo the direction, Xiao Guo knocks back, it's the third stick, if it's three guests and three masters, the words are drum sticks, the drum skin trembles, just like the face trembles, it's really a drama spirit, a big pair of flower guns,]
