When Hongzhi saw Xie Qian, he said happily: "You are here just in time. I am about to take someone to the East Palace to find you."

When Xie Qian saw that Liu Jian and the two Grand Secretary were there, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Your Majesty, has something big happened?"

Liu Jian had just retreated, and the fire sieve came to rob him again. The news that had penetrated into the hinterland was heard and told him the different opinions of several people. Xie Qian shook his head and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, war is the weapon of the world; brave is the virtue of the world. Both of these are not the weapon of gentlemen!

The people are barbaric and use killing as farming. If our country in the heavenly kingdom also uses the other way to return to the other, the place where the teacher is located will be frequent wars, the creatures will be devastated, the countryside is deserted, and thorns will be born. Isn’t this contrary to the way of benevolence?

I think my Ming Dynasty is a country of civilization, etiquette and righteousness. It does not need to plunder other people's property, nor does it need to enslave the barbarians and savages. Why do you have to send troops to expedition? If you are stable today, your politics is clear and your weather is good, and your country is peaceful and peaceful, what you are most afraid of is natural disasters and man-made disasters. According to the opinions of the ministers, you should strictly guard against the generals of the nine borders and block the barbarians outside the country.

Since the fire sieves and the small road attacks Yanqing, it can be seen that there are still loopholes in our border defense line. I think that a section of Badaling, Yanqing Great Wall can be strengthened and lengthened, built a border city, and stationed troops to guard it, then the major event will be settled."

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly displeased when he heard his words. The warriors were the weapons in the world? Without this weapon, where did the Ming Dynasty come from? The brave ones were the evil virtues of the world? But who did not use martial arts to rule the world with his martial arts? Will the former Emperor Yuan abdicate?

However, what Xie Qian said was the remains of the saints. Even if Hongzhi was an emperor, he could not refute it. In the eyes of scholars all over the world, the moral articles of saints were a golden rule that could never be reversed. He said depressedly: "Forget it, I have already announced that Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, entered the palace. Let's see what he has to do, and then just stop it."

After a while, an old voice like a bell outside the imperial study room said, "My minister, Liu Daxia, I am hereby ordered to see you!"

Hongzhi hurriedly announced when he heard this. Liu Daxia was already a seventy-year-old man with white beard and hair, but he was energetic, tall, strong in his words and demeanor, and had a strong expression. He was quite majestic in the Hongzhi Dynasty. There were two generals like Huang Zhong, one was Liu Daxia and the other was Wang Yue, both of whom were Lao Ermijiang.

Wang Yue's official position was still above Liu Daxia. He was the Minister of War in the past. Later, he was the Minister of War. Later, he was the general of the Three Borders. At the age of 70, he personally led his troops to the foot of Helan Mountain, attacked the little prince's ten-mile camp, and captured camels, horses, cattle, sheep and weapons. He was each in a thousand ways. He fought the little prince and fled to the young master's title in view of his merits. He was the general of the three Borders, and he was the only general who held military power in the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, it was Li Guang, a traitor who advocated immortality and immortality at that time, was in power. Wang Yue knew that he was a general outside and had been expeditioning thousands of miles of Tatars. What he feared most was that he had his own people behind him to pull his back. If he did not keep food or grass, his logistics would be interrupted, and he would be isolated and helpless.

In order to get Li Guang's support and avoid being thrust on the journey, Wang Yue sent people to buy Li Guang's transportation and also divided his military achievements. Li Guang got the benefits and had military achievements to earn, so he tried his best to advise the emperor to give full support to the court.

However, Li Guang died of illness and found countless gold, silver and treasures from his home. After being identified as a traitor, not only did Li Guang's party fall, but Wang Yue, who had a close relationship with him, was also impeached by the imperial envoys and censors and was accused of being a first-class traitor.

In the eyes of those scholars, since the treacherous officials are in power, they should be safe and not violate the ancient teachings of the saints. They should be welcomed with each other. Even if they are in vain and slandering the snake, they will never be able to do anything. What's more, no matter how you say you are, who knows what you thought at the beginning? Didn't you keep saying that I don't go to hell and who will go to hell? Then you go to hell.

Lao Wang Yue led his army to gallop thousands of miles, and was as powerful as a bamboo shoot. He was killed at the age of 70 and was thrown away his armor. As a result, there was no yellow sand to bury his bones. In the end, he was scolded to death by the censors of the inspectors.

Liu Daxia was an important official in the court and assisted the three emperors Ying, Xian and Xiao successively. He was a respected veteran of the three dynasties. He was brave in his work, good at leading troops, and was also upright and selfless. Therefore, although Liu Jian and others have always looked down on military generals, they have a lot of respect for this Liu Shangshu.

After seeing the military information, Liu Daxia pondered for a while, shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is better to be careful and not to go out of the frontier!" Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang were relieved when they heard this.

Miao Kui looked at the sky with his eyes, and was very angry. He knew that although Liu Daxia was mostly out of public opinion, there might not be any selfishness in it. Liu Daxia had fought with the internal officials for many years and regarded eunuchs as snakes and scorpions. As long as it came from the internal officials' suggestions, he would first have three-point warnings in his heart regardless of right or wrong.

When Eunuch Zheng went to the West seven times, the eunuchs were in great force. Liu Daxia believed that the long-distance and other countries were a bad policy that was useless to mobilize the troops. He was even more afraid that the eunuchs would take this opportunity to rise and become a major trouble for the court. Therefore, when Emperor Yingzong wanted to sail, he obstructed him. He heard that Eunuch Zheng's sailing treasure map was destroyed in the hands of this person.

In the 17th year of Chenghua, Annan (Vietnam) invaded Laos and was defeated. At that time, the old man Wang Zhi and Wang wanted to take the opportunity to recover Annan, which was no longer respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and asked the Ministry of War to find the previous Annan document map.

Liu Daxia believed that once the military provocation was launched, there would be serious casualties and injuries, and if the victory was successful, the eunuchs would be powerful. Therefore, he hid the road map to Annan and refused to hand over. His policy of self-protection of the country was deeply agreed by the literati and officials, so even Wang Zhi, who was in power at the time, could not do anything to him.

Now that he said this, isn't Nian Zhi afraid that the eunuch will gain power again? Miao Kui thought about it and looked at him coldly, with a lot of hatred in his eyes. But Liu Daxia is the most favored minister of Hongzhi at present. He governed the Yellow River, eliminated the rebels, supervised the military pay, and was honest in his official duties. It can be said that he has a reputation among the court and the country. Although Miao Kui was favored, he dared not plunder his edge.

When Hongzhi heard the brave general say this, he was disappointed. He said unconvincedly: "During the time of Emperor Chengzu, he went out of the frontier several times, and defeated the Meng people. Later, when the Meng people saw my Ming flag, they rode their horses away. Our army wanted to find a battle but could not get it. They were majestic. Why is it not right now?"

Liu Daxia bowed and said, "Your Majesty is no less powerful than Taizong and Chengzu. However, the generals are now far less than before. Moreover, at that time, 100,000 powerful troops were all placed in the desert. Now our Ming army is good at defending but not attacking. Military affairs cannot be carried out lightly. For today's plan, guarding is the best strategy, and fighting is the worst strategy."

Liu Jian and three other great scholars smiled and agreed very much. Hongzhi sighed and said, "You are aware of military affairs. You must make sense for your words like this. If it weren't for the good words of your loved ones, I would have been angry for a moment and almost missed the big thing."

Liu Jian bowed his head and praised: "Your Majesty follows advice like a stream, and he is a wise ruler in the world."

Hongzhi waved his hand with a wry smile and asked Liu Daxia: "From my good friend, what should I do?"

Liu Daxia thought slightly and said, "What the three great scholars said is reasonable. I also think that the generals from the frontier should be ordered to understand the enemy situation, strictly defend and use combat and defense. In addition, the Great Wall was built in the Badaling section of Yanqing, and the pass was built to defend the enemy. At the same time, heavy troops were stationed nearby, and trunks, beacon towers and major traffic arteries were built on major traffic roads north of Guancheng, and several strategies were implemented, and the capital would be as solid as a rock."

Hongzhi sat slowly on the dragon throne, nodded and said, "According to what you said, Grand Secretary Liu will draw an order."

"Yes, I'm going to leave!" Hongzhi waved his hand, looked at the important officials around him, and thought to himself with regret: "The little prince attacked the border on New Year's Eve, and my three armies recovered the lost ground in the blink of an eye. Could it be that once the barrier is out of control, this tiger will really become a cat? Alas, maybe they are right. The civil and military skills are half made by manpower and half by nature, and it is not easy to maintain the hard work of entrepreneurship."

************************************

The imperial physician did not dare to say that the prince was not sick easily, and he did not dare to take medicine casually. He prescribed a few prescriptions to clear the spirit and wake up his mind, and asked the prince to rest for more time and then stepped down. Yang Ling smiled and said to the prince: "Your Highness, we will follow the plan tomorrow morning. I will leave for the time being."

"Okay, tomorrow morning, you'll wait for me outside the harem gate." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand without hesitation. He watched the shadow puppet performed by Luo Xiang and Gao Feng last night. He was addicted now. Mr. Xie left and asked them to continue acting.

Yang Ling saw his expression in his eyes. He gave a deep bow quietly, nodded to Gu Dayong beside him, and slowly retreated out. From the two days of interaction, he also saw that the so-called Eight Tigers had no political ambitions at all, but in order to cater to the prince and make him happy, what they did was inevitably walking towards this path.

Now that he had just met the prince, Bahu grew up taking care of Zhu Houzhao since he was a child. He was absolutely incomparable to them in terms of feelings. If Bahu was wary of himself and said something bad in front of the prince, then he would not have to continue as a servant. Moreover, the prince was in a period of rebellious teenage psychology. If he learned from loyal ministers and kept admonishing him, it would probably have the opposite effect.

So Yang Ling dared not show any disgust on his face. He only hoped that through his own efforts, this emperor, who must be absurd according to the original historical rules, could be somewhat different from history. However, although his youth was a time of extremely plasticity, it was only two years, and he was too late to wait, so I would do my best.

*********************************

Huguo Temple Street, with cloth clothes, hair and hair, a thin horse.

General He Shen inquired all the way and found Yang Ling's home.

He was deported to Beijing and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. It has been more than half a month since he was released from prison. He was demoted to a hundred households and went to a remote place in Guangxi today to take office.

In the past half a month, he finally tasted what kind of affection is, what is the coldness of the world? Some of the old men in the past were officials in Beijing, but no one dared to speak a fair word for him.

After hearing the news at home, I asked my third brother to bring a large amount of gold and silver to Beijing for activities, but this case was assigned by the emperor, which caused the Ministry of War, Works, Revenue, and the Governor's Office of the Five Army to be entangled. At this time, I was still unable to avoid it. Who dared to step into the center of this storm? So I didn't even want to find someone who was a little compatible.

But at this time, I heard that my mother, who was nearly 70 years old, might be in danger of being sentenced to death when she knew that she had been sentenced to prison. She was worried and could not afford to get sick. Now she is in serious condition. She has even prepared her birthday coffin and shroud at home. She is even more anxious and frustrated.

The official military officer Ye Yuzhi was a civil servant, and he had already died on the battlefield. No one was willing to risk being mean and despicable and disgraced to impeach a scholar who was "dead in battle" on the battlefield. Besides, he had a hundred pens in the Inspectorate who shook his flag and shouted for support.

The Eunuch Liu was a middle-aged official in the homeland. Although the prince was not powerful or powerful, he was very trusted by the prince. Moreover, he was the official supervisor of the army appointed by the emperor. He was inevitably implicitly instructing the emperor to use people in an unknown way, so no one impeached his fault. In this way, all the charges were pressed on his shoulders without any responsibility.

General He Gan thought that at most he was sentenced to a mistake of being greedy for merit and reckless and taking advantage of the enemy, he would be demoted. Later, he saw that the prison officer who was a little kind to him was becoming more and more cold, and later he was not even sure about visiting his family. Then he felt that something was wrong. The third brother bribed the prison guards with silver and came in to see him secretly. Only then did he realize that half of the officials in the capital were now involved in this case of controversy.

General He Gan was suddenly discouraged. He had been in the officialdom for many years, so how could he not know the rules of the officialdom? Since this matter was so big, the result of the crime would inevitably lead to a dead end. To untie this knot, then most of them would be attacked by him, a scapegoat, and all of them would be eliminated.

General He Shen told his third brother with tears to not have to move in the capital again, wasting money in vain, and asked him to return home quickly to take care of his mother. He also asked him to prepare an extra set of coffins and said to him: "My mother is ill in bed. As the eldest son, I cannot be filial in front of me. I can only serve my mother on the road to the underworld."

The third brother parted with tears. Since then, General He Shen has been waiting for death. His originally black hair has turned gray in the past few days. Today, the Jinyiwei came to the Ministry of Justice with the imperial edict. General He Shen also said that his death date has arrived, but what he heard was the news of his release from prison.

General He Gan was surprised and happy. He asked the Jinyiwei Guards. Only then did he know that the Jiming Postmaster Yang Ling went to Beijing to be the attendant of the prince. The small postmaster who had never been taken seriously at the beginning actually spoke out loudly and risked his life to advise him. He made a contribution to his own achievements in front of His Majesty, and then he was born in heaven.

Although the Ministry of War demoted him to a small hundred households and demoted him to a remote place in Guangxi, compared with the psychological expectation that he had thought he would die, this was an ending that was too good to be better.

The road is a long way to know the power of horses, and people's hearts will be seen over time. Now in General He Shen's heart, Yang Ling is no different from his reborn parents. Traditional generals like him have many shortcomings and deficiencies, but their belief in loyalty, integrity, and gratitude is a moral standard that has been deeply embedded in their hearts since childhood.

General He Shen was not in a hurry to take office in Guangxi, but his mother at home was critically ill. It was a huge regret that she could not meet her elders until she died, so she was almost ready to return. As soon as he received the appointment document from the Ministry of War, he immediately rushed to the Yang Mansion and wanted to worship his life-saving benefactor and returned home immediately.

When He Shen came to Yangling's gate, he saw a copper lock hanging on the gate of the courtyard. He Shen was stunned. He Shen was told by the Jinyiwei that Yang Shidu came to Beijing and his wife came with him, why was there no one at home?

An old man who set up a stall selling insoles, embroidered handkerchiefs and melon seeds in the alley saw it and asked loudly: "Hey, who are you? Are you a guest of Yang Shiju Yang's family?"

General He Shen led his horse over and clasped his fists and said, "Yes, do you know the people from the Yang family? Do you know where the people from the Yang family are going?"

The old man said proudly: "I know, why don't I know? My family lives next to the Yang family. Lord Yang is the attendant of the prince and a close minister around the emperor. He is the master of the palace every day. Why don't I know him?

I got up early in the morning before I saw Lord Yang going to court. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

General He Shen frowned: "Why can people in this place be so joking? It's endless. If you wait a while, he might have to go somewhere." He hurriedly interrupted the old man and said: "So, can you tell me where the people from Lord Yang are?"

The old man was interrupted and a little unhappy. He waved his hand and said, "Of course, Lord Yang is with the Prince in the palace. Is this a question? Mrs. Yang went out to buy vegetables and said that Lord Yang was the one who was ordered by the Prince. Hey, Qingyi, I don't even hire a sedan chair servant. Until now, I still walk to the Forbidden City every day. Mrs. Yang is the only one in the house to do housework. Mrs. Yang is really a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law. She looks like a flower and is really worthy of the handsome brother of Lord Yang."

General He Shen bowed deeply and said, "Thank you brother." He turned around and came to Yangling's door again, stood for a while, suddenly abandoned the reins of the horse, turned over and fell to the ground, knocking his head into the dust.

The old man selling groceries there widened his eyes and saw the man with gray hair, thin and black appearance, and a stubborn beard kneeling there, kowtowed respectfully three times, then turned over and rode his horse, galloped away with a whip.

The old man woke up after a while, pursed his lips, and hundreds of possible stories began to brew under his rich imagination.
