Li Chengliang shook his head. His face was embarrassed: "For the time being, there is no [Xianmo: The magic is not. Yes. It's deliberate. Nope. then there is nowhere to stay. I can't see that the two of them have been prepared. 】。 But we don't have to rush. It just so happened that Lord Qi was also there. Let's sit down. Let's talk about a foolproof plan. In short, forcing him to conform is. ”

Chang Sihao thought to himself, he was also bold and straightforward. Lord Qi is of the same heart as himself again. There shouldn't be any problems. There is no doubt about it at the moment. Since then, the three of them have been stuck in the arrow tower for days. While investigating the situation of the barbarian army everywhere. While deliberating on the matter. It was discussed for more than ten days. The plan has been decided. Chang Sihao said goodbye to the two generals. and Li Shuangji and others returned to Beijing with more than ten escort guards. Li Qier will lead the crowd to send five miles to say goodbye. Watch as he disappears from sight. Li Chengliang raised his palm. and Qi Jiguang slapped hard. Laugh. Now return to the city to rearrange the wine and feast to celebrate. Qi Jiguang also opened up. Wine to the glass dry. Drink happily. Li Chengliang said: "From now on." Your brother won't have to suffer from that bird anger anymore. Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Ruqi for saving me." Li Chengliang raised his glass and said: "It's a trivial matter." Dry. Qi Jiguang drank it all. "Happy." He hesitated a little: "But." If I came out. Hou Ye has one less helper in Beijing. After all, it is better to avoid Xu than to reverse Xu. can really bring down Xu Jie. That's once and for all. Always worry-free. [Xianmo: The big drama is not far away. Let's start with the audience's talk."

Li Chengliang smiled: "You." Don't be silly. Yan Song can't fight Lao Xu. and how could anyone else be his opponent? They play theirs. Let's play ours. Play one set each. to play for a long time. You plug in and play with people. Then you have to follow the rules of others. Isn't it more and more awkward to go [Xianmo: This statement can be used everywhere. Don't break the mold. It can't be a big deal. 】。 Qi Jiguang felt reasonable. And he said, "But...... If we can't do that. As it is. Li Chengliang smiled: "I can't do it." Xiao Chang is also gone. Let's give it a kiss. Qi Dong gun. Qi Gu Longdong gun. "Talking about second-hand points. Crooked face. Raise your eyebrows and shake your shoulders. made a shape of a feather catching pheasant tails. made Qi Jiguang laugh.

Long Qing learned that Chang Sihao had returned to Beijing. Hurry up and summon you. I heard him say that he was stationed in Liaoyang for many days. No brutes were seen. Nodding his head [Xian Mo: Simplicity]. Pulled out a ** report from the desk: "This is the news that just came from Huai'an, Hebei Province yesterday." It is said that a thief has invaded Chaigou Fort. Garrison Han Shangzhong died in battle. The army and civilians slaughtered. No one was left behind. Most of the time they did it. Now it's empty of horses. ”

Chang Sihao knew that Huai'an was already very close to Datong. The barbarians may not be able to go that far. But it's not easy to say more. With that, he took out a drawing from his bosom. I looked at it myself as if I was sure. Spread it on the table. Said: "Your Majesty." This is a map of the Northern Defense Zone drawn by General Lee. Long Qing looked away. I saw a meandering curve on the map. It is covered with dots, embossed letters, a few characters and a dense network of small flags. Chang Sihao pointed to a curve from west to east and said: "This is the border of our Ming Dynasty." He pointed to the big dot at the middle edge of the line and said, "This is the Jingshi." The finger moved all the way up to the northeast: "These embossed characters and a few characters are the fortification strongholds and the Great Wall." The small flag is a place where there is a garrison. According to General Lee. Due to disrepair. This section of the Great Wall, this section and this section. Many places have been destroyed. Now the main question is: We have too few garrisons in the north......" [Xian Mo: The beginning of the article says the Great Wall in Xiaoyu's mouth. At the end of the article, the picture tells the Great Wall. The history of the destruction of the Great Wall. It is the shadow of the rise and fall of the dynasty]

Long Qing shook his head and said, "There are 100,000 sergeants on this line. How can it be too little. Chang Sihao said: "100,000 sergeants are indeed a lot. But you see how many of these strongholds there are. Captain of the border line. There are many strongholds. Our army is scattered. And the Tartars and barbarians are tens of thousands of cavalry to attack a little. It's a quick assault. Our army is outnumbered. I can't save it. As a result, they often suffer a lot of losses......" he continued. I listened to the report of the inner servant: "Elder Xu Ge and the third prince have arrived." Long Qing smiled: "Let them in." ”

After a while, an old man and a young man walked into the house. Zhu Yijun saw his father. He opened his hands and threw himself into his arms, and ran quickly. Suddenly, Xu Jie let out a long, muffled nasal voice behind him. Hurriedly closed his steps. Pull the face. Walk over steadily. Shi Lizhi said in a childish voice: "Erchen Yijun." Meet your father. ”

Long Qing smiled: "Okay." Good. I only stayed with the elder for two days. I just know the rules. What I learned today. Zhu Yijun said: "Go back to my father." The retainers learned the courtesy. Long Qing asked, "Then do you have the intention to learn?" Zhu Yijun said: "Of course, I will do my best." If you don't care. Just hit the palm of your hand. He stretched his hand forward. Long Qing saw that his little palms were red. His brow furrowed slightly. He glanced at Xu Jie. smiled: "Elder Ge punished you." It's also for your own good. If you don't learn etiquette. How can you be a good crown prince? [Xianmo: It's not a matter of the future. False one-time payment]

Xu Jie's eyelids drooped. Said slowly: "The third prince is very smart. Alert. It's just that the heart is floating and loving. It's nothing more than a juvenile heart. The old minister was instructed to teach. But choose to develop well. Step by step. ”

It is both "step-by-step guidance". Naturally, there will be no punishment on the board. Chang Sihao saw Zhu Yijun lowering his head and wrapping around Longqing's legs. There was a flash of wisdom in his eyes. I knew that he must not love to learn. Acting in front of his father. Laughing: "Good fight." Playing can be remembered for a long time. Folk say that filial piety comes from under the stick. What's more, this Golden Gate Jade Household. I saw Zhu Yijun looking sideways and looking this way. A slight smile appeared on his face. He tugged at the corner of his father's clothes and said, "Father." What about Otomo. I want a companion. Long Qing said: "Okay." Good. He called, "Go and call Yongting." The waiter answered.

Xu Jie clasped his sleeves with both hands. His eyelids did not flirt, and he said, "Your Majesty." Since Wang Zhen and Liu Jin. I'm in a great trouble. The prince is the watch of the sky. Not together for a long time and being in the company of eunuchs. Contaminated with the narrow-mindedness of the villain. ”

Long Qing smiled: "What the elder said is also true. But the child is in love. Human. Yongting served by my side when he was in Yudi. Conduct things for people. It's still pretty good. ”

Xu Jie said: "The old minister heard about it. Although he resigned from his position in the East Factory. But the factory arranged a righteous son to do things for him. This man is very young. and he will be a blessing. Nowadays, everyone in the factory calls it 'An Zuzong' [Xianmo: Xiao Cheng's famous universe. Even Lao Xu knows. 】。 The arrogance is really arrogant. ”

Chang Sihao smiled and said, "Ah." Ge always said Xiao Anzi. This child was arranged by the emperor in Dongchang. He is also the heart of a teenager. Somewhat naughty. I like to tell a joke to the officers below. How can the elder take it seriously. ”

Xu Jie's gaze swept obliquely: "Dongchang is the weapon of the country." It's a place for children to play. ”

At this time, Feng Bao came in outside. Long Qing was right. said with a smile: "The elder of the pavilion is in charge of the affairs of the court. Why bother with this. Wait for the next time the glory comes. I told him to clean up the factory affairs. ”

Feng Bao walked into the hall to give a salute. Zhu Yijun saw it. He ran out from behind his father. Pounced on his leg and said, "Big companion." Feng Bao saw that Xu Jie's face was not good. Coaxed the child. Turning to him, he saluted and said, "Feng Bao greets the elder of the pavilion." ”

Xu Jie's nostrils exhaled a long breath. He said in a deep voice: "Excuse me." Look away. But he swept the map on the table. asked: "Yunzhong Hou has returned from Liaodong in the north of the border. I don't know what the situation of the barbarian army is. Long Qing said: "The elder asked the right question. I'm just trying to talk to you. "At the moment, I talked about the situation and Chang Sihao's intention to raise troops. Finally, he asked, "I don't know what Elder Ge thinks about this." ”

Xu Jie smiled slightly: "The old minister thinks." What Yun Zhonghou said is extremely true. Chang Sihao was surprised. I heard Xu Jie continue: "Liaodong line. Brutal and colorful. Especially the brute aspect. After the accession to the throne of Tumen Zasaktu Khan. Raise troops and horses. Always intent on going south. This man is young and vigorous. Ambitious. Ten times more belligerent than the original little prince. It is really the biggest concern in Jingbei. Duoyan's Dong Fox and his nephew Chang Ang [Xianmo: Two living treasures in history. It is also a real person] is also growing and developing. Raids and raids in the future. Unavoidable. In the opinion of the old minister. It is necessary to have a capable governor Ji Liao. Organize armaments. Training and hunting. Jingshi can be worry-free. ”

Long Qing asked, "In the opinion of the elder of the pavilion." Whom should he send? ”

Xu Jie said: "It must be Tan Lun, the squire of the military department." ”

In these days, Sihao discussed strategies with Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang. I have also counted who can help in the DPRK and China now. is no stranger to the name Tan Lun. When it was known that this person was in the South. Yuan also served as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's boss. Outstanding achievements. But after Hu Zongxian's accident. He saw the situation. Fell to Xu Jie's side with all his strength. So not only was he not persecuted. Instead, he was promoted to the military department. I made the right waiter. As it stands. If Tan Lun is allowed to preside over the military affairs of the northern border. Xu Jie is equivalent to installing another of his henchmen. Dare to say it for a long time. They all made wedding clothes for others. Hurriedly interjected: "Your Majesty." This kind of thing. How to use the important ministers of the military department? In my opinion. Let Lord Qi stay in Liaodong. Reinforcement exercises. That's it. ”

Xu Jie smiled indifferently [Xianmo: I have already seen through the hearts of the three generals] and said: "Master Hou's words are wrong. The defense of the border north involves the safety of the Beijing division. Don't take it lightly. And it is not enough to increase troops to Liaodong. In the past two years, the border has been slackened. To make the Tatars and the barbarians rampant. This time, we have to act. It's going to be drastic. Thoroughly reorganize. Grasp all the military affairs on the northeast front. Lun is handsome. General Qi and Yu Er commanded operations in the south for many years. Send him over. I'm afraid I'm overstretched. If it is according to what Hou Ye said. Only Lord Qi remained. And how can it be opened? ”

Chang Sihao frowned. Hearing this, it always feels like it was premeditated. Just about to fight again. I saw Long Qing sigh. "It's not a question of choosing someone now. Important: Where does military spending come from. We have been financially tight for many years. There is really no way to pay more taxes to the people. As he spoke, his gaze lifted from the map. Turning to Xu Jie: "I'm afraid I have to worry about this matter." Think of a way. Xu Jie covered his hand and saluted: "The old minister should do his best." Relieve the worries of the monarch. ”

Long Qing nodded. "Hmm. Pavilion Lao's words. I was relieved. It is not easy to raise military spending. Hold on. Teach Yijun about it. I'll hand it over to Zhang Taiyue first. The elder of the pavilion should concentrate on this matter. He glanced down. His gaze lingered on Feng Bao's face for a moment. Xu Jiedao: "Yes." Feng Bao bowed and said, "Your Majesty." In a few days, it's time to get to Qingming. Shouldn't we be ready too? I went to the imperial tomb to worship the old emperor. Long Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Hmm." Isn't it? Without being reminded by his father-in-law [Xianmo: Remind people to speak. I just say that people remind you]. I'm going to forget. Xu Ge Lao. You have come to make a will for me. All the officials are ready. Follow me to Yongling to worship the ancestors and sweep the tombs. Xu Jie waved his hands over his head [Xianmo: Military affairs. Just a cover-up. Two-phase photo. It can be seen in Xu's heart. Which of the two is more important] said: "The emperor can't." Long Qing frowned slightly. Then he changed his smile and said, "Elder Ge." Last year, I first ascended to the throne. I should have gone to worship my ancestors. But there are many things going on in the DPRK and China. It never made the trip. Now Qingming is coming. Ordinary people have to burn paper and plant willows. I am the Son of Heaven. but not before the grave. I am afraid that it is incompatible with filial piety. ”

Xu Jie slowly lowered his arm. Lowered his eyebrows: "Your Majesty." The ancient sages ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. However, filial piety benefits relatives. Benevolence benefits the people. The people are pro-first. It is the old benevolence in filial piety. Today's sub travels. Guards of the Guard. The carriages and horses are immense. It is inevitable to alarm the place. Disturb the people. I also hope that the emperor will put the people first. To worship ancestors. It can be held in Taimiao. It's the same. ”

Long Qing's eyes were cold: "Elder Xu Ge." Last year, I was going to worship my ancestors. You block left and right. Now they use the people as an excuse. Could it be that I went to my father's tomb to pay respects? He has become an unkind and unrighteous man? ”

Xu Jie was unmoved. Said earnestly: "Your Majesty." Last year coincided with the Tatar attack. The defense of the Beijing division is tight. Now the Tatars have retreated. But there are barbaric rebellions. Even if it is not for the people. The emperor is the world. Think about your own safety, too. Don't embarrass officials and ministers. ”

Chang Sihao said: "I also know a thing or two about the situation of the imperial mausoleum [Xianmo: I can know that Crouching Tiger Mountain is not in vain. and early to make a stroke. 】。 The terrain is precarious. Surrounded by mountains. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. Whether Tatar or barbarian. I want to lead a horse team to raid. It's impossible. Why should Ge Lao be so worried? Hearing this, Long Qing smiled and said, "What the royal brother said is extremely true. This time, you will accompany me. First, come and worship my father. Second, it also happens to protect my safety. ”

Xu Jie looked at him like this. I have to go. Make a groan. He bowed down and said, "If the emperor insists on going." The old minister did not dare to disobey. I just hope that the emperor will promise the old minister one thing. ”

Long Qing said: "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Jie's eyes were slightly raised: "The emperor should concentrate on going to the mausoleum." Don't change your route. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be disrespectful to the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Originally, Longqing had been stuffy in the palace since he ascended the throne. Didn't get a chance to go out and walk. Last year, it was easy to think of an excuse to pay homage to the mausoleum. Three times in a row. But they were all stopped by Xu Jie. Now catch up with Qingming. I am preparing to take the opportunity to step on the spring. Take a tour. I didn't expect to be hit by his words again. The door was completely sealed. However, it is not possible to reason with him on this matter. Otherwise, the bottom will be completely leaked. He smiled and said, "Where did Elder Ge come from?" The memorial mausoleum must be solemn and solemn. How could I not know. Xu Jie bowed his head and said, "The emperor is filial piety and faithful." It's the old minister who is too worried. ”

Chang Sihao looked at the two of them with a silly expression. Quite eccentric. I couldn't guess what kind of medicine they were selling in this gourd for a while. Wait until the farewell emperor comes out. Listen to Feng Bao explain the inside story. That's when I got to the bottom of it. said: "The emperor faces the red wall of the Golden Palace all day long in the palace. Although accompanied by harem beauties. But it is nothing more than a polygamous monk [Xianmo: The title is wonderful. The monk was bored. Shang Ke wants to go out for a walk with dinner. The emperor is not even as good as a monk]. Wanli Jiangshan said that it was his. But he couldn't look at [Xianmo: That's why the Qing Dynasty emperor liked to go down to the south of the Yangtze River]. What's the point of that. There's nothing wrong with finding a chance to go out for a walk. Why did Xu Ge Lao still stop this little thing. Will he not be hated? ”

Feng Bao put Zhu Yijun down. Let him run away. "Alas. In that year, the British clan pro-unified army to conquer Warat. He was also taken captive at the civil fort. Wu Zong likes to go out of the palace to have fun. Waste politics. Finally, learn to fish. Fell into the water and died. This is what caused the catastrophe. There are lessons from the past. The courtiers must not be careless and must not be guarded against. [Xianmo: The emperors of the Ming Dynasty are indeed more capable than the other. Therefore, the phoenix man cannot be married. Zhu Yuanzhang is a typical phoenix man. This is the case in my own generation. Children have been like this for generations. Full of demons. 】

Chang Sihao's eyes were staring away: "It seems that I blindly follow the emperor's thoughts." I'm afraid I'm going to be regarded as a traitor. Feng Bao shouted to the sky: "It is said that life is like a play." But life is really as simple as on the stage, with a clear distinction between good and evil. It's better. Let's take the matter of me smuggling the emperor out of the palace to Yanxiang Pavilion. It is to bear the blood and sea of involvement. Fortunately, the danger was saved. Otherwise, he must not be regarded as the second Wang Zhen. ”

Chang Sihao knew that this was indeed the case. Silent for a moment.

Zhu Yijun smiled behind the red pillar: "Big companion." I am a traitor. Come and catch me. ”

Feng Bao bowed and said, "It's coming." It's a traitor. It's not good to hide it yet. ”
