Chapter 840: Xie Qian's Loneliness
The Da Ming in front of him is like a big man who has been hollowed out in his early years, he seems to be strong but is empty inside. How can such a Ming Dynasty dare to start a war again at will? I am afraid that the big war will not be able to support it for even a month, and it will be completely exposed. In that case, the good situation that they have worked so hard to maintain over the years will be ruined.
And right now, the situation on Meng Yuan's side outside is unclear, if there is another problem inside...... Liu Jian and Xie Qian thought of this together, and their faces were extremely gloomy.
Compared with these news, what Su Mo, what Zhang Cai, and the like, who can still take care of it? Li Dongyang, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, has long been tied to the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and the national disaster is at hand, these major events are not enough for him to be busy, where is the energy to use his brain and play infighting with a junior?
Therefore, after Li Dongyang said these things, he didn't need to explain it at all, Liu Jian and Xie Qian had already understood, why Li Dongyang said it at that time before, wait and see, and know for themselves in the future.
Seeing that the two old friends understood, Li Dongyang's eyes flashed with relief, but he still continued: "What Zhang Cai did today was to see through the old man's mind and take advantage of the situation. In this way, the old man has to admit his personal favor no matter what, and he wants to have something in the future, as long as it is not too much, the old man is not good to come forward to stop him. I can't even say it, but I have to push one or two in time to repay this favor. Hehe, the humane Zhang Shangzhi is talented and sharp, but he is really a famous person. ”
When he said this, he couldn't help but praise again and again. The more Xie Qian listened, the more angry he became, and he got up and said angrily: "How can this cunning and petty person be connived!
Li Dongyang shook his head with a wry smile, Xie Qian was anxious, and said angrily: "What, Li Binzhi, could it be that you are really bound by his little favor? What's more, he is obviously speculative......"
Liu Jian next to him interrupted: "Okay, Yu Qiao." ”
Xie Qian was not convinced, and before he could say more, Liu Jian sighed: "Otherwise, what do you want Binzhi to do? Zhang Cai is basically doing what we all want to do, is it possible that we have to change our course in order to deal with him? He has no other plans to reveal now, and we can only wait and see what happens." ”
Xie Qian's mouth opened and opened, and in the end he could only snort sullenly, sat down with a snort, and sulked to himself.
Just thinking about it, he was really unwilling, and Orr said: "This person is so treacherous, how can he be so kind?
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang glanced at each other, both smiling. Li Dongyang said: "Yu Qiao, aren't you already alert? ”
Xie Qian was stunned, and then said stupidly: "These are two different things. For now, why did he do this? Was it just a gesture of goodwill? I don't believe it. ”
Li Dongyang nodded with a smile, and when he saw that Liu Jian also looked over, he said: "Of course he has a purpose, although I don't know what his purpose is for the time being." But what he did afterwards, I can probably detect some signs, I'm afraid that I will have to deal with that kid again. In the end, a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes, and his tone became calm.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian were both stunned, although the kid in Li Dongyang's mouth was not named, but the two of them were friends, except for the little guy named Su Mo, there was no one else. No matter what, Li Zhaoxian's death also has an inexplicable relationship with Su Mo, as a father, no matter how generous Li Dongyang is, it is still difficult to let go, which is also human nature.
It's just that this matter is a little weird to involve that kid again. Could it be that Li Dongyang was thoughtful and drilled the tip of the horns. Thinking like this, Xie Qian was anxious, so he couldn't help asking.
Li Dongyang was silent, laughed at himself, and sighed: "Although the old man is not talented, how can he be a person who does not distinguish between public and private? Today, Zhang Shangzhen first pulled out Wang Shouren, and then brought up the imperial examination case again. And then he took advantage of the matter of Ying He to transfer back Yang Yiqing, and even transferred back Chen Rui, the chief soldier of Datong, Pingjiangbo, with him, is his meaning still unclear?"
Speaking of this, seeing that Xie Qian was still a little ignorant, he simply opened up and said, "That Datong General Soldier, the old man has heard that the Tao is that his people are extremely afraid of the Mongolian fire sieve, and even to the point where they don't drink hot wine. Let me ask, once this person returns, if he asks about the war ahead, what will be the situation?"
Xie Qian suddenly came to his senses, but then he slapped the case and said angrily: "There is no reason! The general guarding the border is so afraid of the enemy, he should be killed! I should impeach such a corpse and replace it with a brave general.......
Speaking of this, there was a sudden pause, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he froze there in a daze, his face full of thought.
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Yu Qiao finally figured it out?"
Xie Qian suddenly returned to his soul, turned his gaze to look at the two of them, and hesitated, "This ...... Does this mean that the news that the newspaper was reported in the past said that it was the news of the fire sifting committed......."
Li Dongyang and Liu Jian both laughed, but they were noncommittal. Xie Qian sat there in a daze, his face was blushing, and his expression was wonderful.
What's going on, if you don't say why the side report came at the time, in addition to being really anxious, these two people look like old gods. At that time, he still sighed secretly, his cultivation was really inferior to them, and he really couldn't achieve the realm of a peaceful lake with an angry face in his heart. But it turned out that there was still this strange thing in it.
That Pingjiang Bo is as hateful as a tiger, and he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, but he sends such a report, and he doesn't treat state affairs as a child's play, but he makes chickens and dogs jump inside and outside the field, and duck feathers all over the place. How did the people of this generation sit in the position of the general soldier over there that day......? Huh?
He thought like this, and suddenly came to his senses. That Zhang Cai suddenly proposed that Chen Rui be transferred back for questioning, with that Chen Rui's virtue, how could he have good words after he came back? I am afraid that he would not want to be more tempered and vinegared, and deliberately exaggerate the enemy situation ten times and a hundred times.
Not to mention the consequences of doing this, just like this, wouldn't it echo the previous rumors against Su Mo? If such a thing suddenly came from the court, no matter how much the Son of Heaven wanted to protect Na Su Mo, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist the violent intentions of the ministers. In this way, the fate of the Su boy .......
He's not a fool, but he's just a little grumpy. After mentioning it slightly, I immediately understood the key to it, and I couldn't help but be angry and disappointed for a while.
What is angry is that these bastards, one by two, are all taking state affairs as a child's play, and they do not hesitate to use state affairs to take advantage of them just to deal with a young generation; what is disappointed is that if the DPRK and the Central Committee are occupied by their own generation, what hope does the Ming have at all? Is it worth it for the people to do their best and stay up all night?
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but suddenly feel an indescribable tiredness welling up in my heart, and suddenly felt that everything was boring, and I actually had a thought that it was better to go back, so the green mountains and green waters, and the retreat to the fields.
Fortunately, this thought was only a flash of thought, and after that emotion, he was again high-spirited.
"In this way, that Zhang Cai is going to Su Mo?It's just that it seems that the two of them have never even met each other, so why is he so vicious and vicious?" he looked up at Li Dongyang and asked what he had in mind.
When this question came out, Li Dongyang also frowned and shook his head, and sighed: "This is what I can't figure out for a while." I'm afraid that among them, there will be joints that you and I don't know......"
Speaking of this, the voice paused, and then hesitated: "Moreover, I suspect that it is the matter of inviting Yang Yan'an back to Beijing, I am afraid that it also has his own purpose, and it is not blindly to cater to me." At present, the country is anxious at home and abroad, and the situation is difficult, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be a blessing for the country. ”
Liu Jian and Xie Qian were shocked when they heard this, Liu Jian frowned and said, "Binzhi, what do you mean ......?"
Li Dongyang didn't say much, just looked at the void outside the door without focus, shook his head slightly, and let out an inaudible sigh.
The three people in the room lost their interest in speaking for a while, and each frowned and pondered. State affairs, family affairs, national enemies and family hatreds, which are complicated and entangled, Rao is a wise man like them, and it is difficult to clarify for a while, let alone where the big ship of Daming under his feet will eventually sail......
At the same time, the north, the desert.
On the vast steppe, the white yurts stretch for hundreds of miles, the flags are lined up, and countless Mongolian knights with swords and bows come and go, which is a lively scene.
Here is only thirty miles away from the border pass of the Ming Dynasty, and at the time of the war, it seems that it has arrived in an instant, and the soldiers are in the city. However, in the direction of the Ming Dynasty, the defenders at the border pass showed no sign of sending troops to greet each other, but from time to time there were soldiers who probed their brains to look at them, and their faces were full of fear and panic.
In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Mongolian camp, the fire sieve was high, holding a golden cup in his hand, raising his head and drinking a full glass of wine from the Western Regions, wiping the wine stains on his beard under his chin, and his face was full of arrogance and pride.
After drinking, he took a picture of the wine cup to the generals below, laughed and invited him to drink, and then picked up the ordinary silver knife on the table, cut off a large piece of meat from the roasted golden fat sheep, and threw it into his mouth for a while.
All the Mongolian generals below raised their glasses in unison, shouting and cheering one after another. Everyone's faces were full of comfort and arrogance, and there was no tension in the enemy city.
After drinking a few glasses in a row, someone near Zuo hesitated and said: "Tabu Nang, we have been here for more than ten days, and we are always like this....... will it really attract the Ming army?"
When the fire sieve heard this, he held the hand of the golden cup for a moment, squinting his eyes and saying nothing. Another person next to him sneered and said: "Bamur, you are a coward, but you are afraid? What about the Ming army, it is just a good time to fight to relieve boredom, but it is much more interesting than hunting wolves." ”
The other two people next to him laughed, and even the fire sieve was unstoppable, and their eyes showed satisfaction.
Bamur's face turned red, he turned his head and glared angrily, and said angrily: "Gu Lunai, you dare to underestimate me! I'm afraid of something, but I'm just here this time, after all, I'm not here to fight." If it leads to a war between the two sides, I am afraid that I will miss Dayan Khan's plan. When the time comes, if the blame comes down, will you bear it or will you bear it?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Lunai and the other three people's faces changed, and their laughter stopped abruptly. At this time, although Dayan had not yet unified the desert, it had basically won the support of all ministries. If it really makes Dayan Khan angry, even the fire sieve will not be able to bear it.
