The minister failed to come back in time to restore his life," Yu Qian bowed and said: "The minister is late, and the minister is guilty." ”

"I didn't set a deadline for you," Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "What is Lord Yu's crime?" ”

"The minister came to see the emperor yesterday," Yu Qian bowed his head and said: "Until today, Fang is late, and he has failed the emperor's grace, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”

"Lord Yu attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and only came to see me after he has done things well," Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and said, "It's too late for me to respect you, where can I cure your sins?" ”

"Panic!" Yu Qian lowered his head.

Zhu Qizhen stood up, paced in front of Yu Qian, and said leisurely: "Since the position of the right attendant of the military department became vacant, the ministers recommended many candidates for me, but I chose you alone to fill this vacancy, do you know why?" ”

Yu Qian lowered his head and was silent.

"You are a stable person, and you are a person who can be a big deal," Zhu Qizhen stared at him and said: "You also know people well, and all the people you recommend can be in charge...... Kaifeng is doing a good job! Didn't make a big mess for me. ”

Yu Qian raised his head a little higher, and said with a solemn expression: "The minister is willing to die for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor!" ”

"Well said!" Zhu Qizhen's eyes flickered, "Lord Yu is knowledgeable, loyal and resolute, and compares himself to Zhuge Wuhou, if everyone in the court is like Lord Yu, I am expected to regain the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty......" Yu Qian's back straightened, "How can the minister be so virtuous, and deserve such praise from the emperor?" ”

"Why should Lord Yu be too humble?" Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly and said, "I am very satisfied with your errand on this trip to Xuanda!" ”

"Minister...... The minister is incompetent," Yu Qian's eyes darkened, "The minister supervised the army outside the fortress, causing most of the elite of Xuanda to lose ......"

"This is not a crime of war, you don't take the blame on yourself," Zhu Qizhen looked at him and said: "After these few contacts, I also understand that my Ming army's army is far from being comparable to that of Taizu Taizong, and it is rare that you can lead some people to retreat." ”

After the young emperor's praise, Yu Qian's heart was surging, and he raised his chin and said: "The ministers and some of the soldiers can return to the customs safely, and one of them has made great contributions, and he is ......."

"Yes, it's all up to the soldiers to use their lives," Zhu Qizhen intercepted his words, "I have ordered that all the soldiers who enter the customs will be rewarded...... and finally said a sentence, "Yu Aiqing has worked hard." ”

"Your Majesty ......" Yu Qian burst into tears and was choked up and speechless.

"You've shown me the excerpts," Zhu Qizhen said: "It says that the guards in the border town are no longer usable, I think so, they may still have some combat effectiveness since the generation of Taizu Taizong, and in this generation, except for the hoe and farming, the rest of the sword and gun battle array should be completely unfamiliar." If a big war breaks out with the Tartars, these people will not be able to be feared. ”

"The emperor is wise," Yu Qian said, "and instead of spending a lot of money every year to support these soldiers who cannot fight, it is better to dismiss them all and recruit some loyal and brave warriors to reorganize the army." In this way, the defense force of the border towns can be greatly strengthened, and Datong Town and Xuanfu Town have such a number of recruited sergeants, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the guard army

Much more. ”

"Aiqing is reasonable," Zhu Qizhen nodded, pondered for a while and said: "But changing the shortcomings of my Ming army can not be achieved overnight, according to the current situation, it is better to be slow than urgent." At this point, you still need to communicate more with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies! ”

"Your Majesty," Yu Qian frowned when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Now that the interests of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies are entangled together, and the forces are intertwined, I want the Ministry of War to reform the military system with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, so ...... Isn't that a tiger skin? ”

"And what do you want?" Zhu Qizhen's eyes stared at him and said, "Aside from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, your military department will reform the military system alone?" How is this possible, do you think that the orders of the Ministry of War can be issued directly to the military towns and guards in the world, bypassing them? ”

Yu Qian was speechless, puffed out his cheeks and did not speak.

"You want me to come forward, don't you?" Zhu Qizhen stared into his eyes, "Let me be this wicked person, right?" ”

"Don't dare!" Yu Qian lowered his head again.

"Yu Qian," Zhu Qizhen's voice was raised a little, a little solemn: "I think you are a minister, with a strong iron backbone, not afraid of the powerful, different from other mediocre officials, so I transferred you from the position of governor of Henan to the Beijing Division, and became the right attendant of the military department, you can't let me down!" ”

"Your Majesty's ......" Yu Qian's Adam's apple rolled and said: "The minister is weak and weak, I'm afraid that I can't bear such a heavy burden and disappoint the emperor." ”

"This is not like your words in Yu Jie'an," Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said: "Quite when the first emperor was there, the rebellion of the King of Pinghan made you reprimand Zhu Gaoxu's crime in front of the ministers, that style, that tone, it was really impassioned, and I admired it now when I read it!" ”

"The minister was young at the time, and he didn't know what to say," Yu Qian said, "Let the emperor laugh." ”

"The north wind blows the branches of the cypress tree in front of my court. The tree is not afraid of the wind, the prism is still self-sustaining, and the frost is unswerving. The situation is gradually suitable for the sun and the scenery, the idle flowers and wild grasses are still blooming, and the wind blows the cypress trees. The north wind blows, how long can it! Zhu Qizhen groaned loudly.

Yu Qian's heart struck, "Isn't this the poetry I made?" ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled at him after reciting, "This poem must be more familiar to Aiqing than me, right?" ”

"This is a clumsy work by the minister." Yu Qian replied stubbornly.

"Every time I read this poem, I think about what kind of person should be able to make such a heart-wrenching poem," Zhu Qizhen's eyes were blazing, "Although Aiqing is no longer young, is the arrogance of the past gone?" ”

Yu Qian's forehead tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The minister shouldn't embarrass the emperor, the minister is ashamed!" ”

"I want to be a promising king, but I can't do without the assistance of you capable officials!" Zhu Qizhen's tone softened, "I hope that Aiqing can be like the prismatic bones written in your poems, and the frost will not waver. ”

"The minister must live up to the emperor's trust." Yu Qian puffed up his chest and said proudly.

"Just let it go and do what you want," Zhu Qizhen patted him lightly on the shoulder, looked at him with a firm gaze and said, "You must know that I support you." ”

"The minister's liver and brain are smeared, and it is difficult to repay the emperor's deep kindness." Yu Qian's arms were raised flat

, and made a gesture to Zhu Qizhen.

"I also know that it is difficult for you to do it, but I can't watch the Ming Dynasty sink day by day," Zhu Qizhen sighed, "Let it be left to its own devices, how can I go to see my ancestors and ancestors after a hundred years?" You and I can do it! ”

"The minister will definitely not disappoint the emperor," Yu Qian said after saying this, and said after a moment of silence: "Your Majesty, the minister still has one more thing he wants to ask the emperor ......."

"It's about Yang Muyun," Zhu Qizhen smiled leisurely, "You're not the only one who wants to speak for him these days." ”

"The emperor is a clear guide," Yu Qian said: "The minister can come back to see the emperor, thanks to Yang Muyun's merits, the enemy chief Sain Polo was also captured by him, Juyongguan was able to turn the crisis into safety, and he also made great efforts from it." This man is both humanistic and martial, and he is a rare talent. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen's eyebrows raised, and he said lightly: "Then how do you want me to promote and reward him?" Title or marquis? ”

"The emperor's ......" Seeing his plain appearance, Yu Qian couldn't figure out what the young emperor was thinking for a while.

"If I'm not mistaken, Yu Aiqing has a son-in-law who is an official residence in Jinyi Wei Qianhu, right?" Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and said, "How old is he?" ”

"Son-in-law, he's twenty-seven years old." Yu Qian didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked about this.

"It's also commendable to be a thousand households who became a brocade guard at the age of twenty-seven," Zhu Qizhen smiled, "He is the ancestor of the attack, right?" ”

"Exactly." Yu Qian replied.

"Yang Muyun is fifteen years old this year, twelve years younger than your son-in-law!" Zhu Qizhen said: "But I named him the fifth rank of the imperial sword official and the brocade guard Qianhu, and his rank is on par with your son-in-law, do I treat him poorly?" ”

"Your Majesty," Yu Qian said: "Yang Muyun's talent is far above that of his son-in-law, when he was dealing with the Tartars outside the Saiwai, the minister gave him a thousand men and horses, and he brought a good and impressive Chinese army camp to the Tartars, and captured Sain Polo......"

"This has already been said in your recital, so there is no need to repeat it," Zhu Qizhen said: "Yang Muyunli's contribution is not only what you mentioned in the recital?" I'm not confused. ”

"Yes."

"It's not a good thing for a person to take risks too fast," Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "I heard that the bamboo in Jiangnan is most likely to be blown by the wind is not the thinnest, but the longest, Yu Aiqing is from Jiangnan, I don't know if what I said is right?" ”

"Your Majesty," Yu Qian suddenly realized, "The minister understands, the emperor wants Yang Muyun to have more experience and experience, and it is not appropriate to rise too high." ”

"I'm not a mean and unkind person," Zhu Qizhen said indifferently: "Although Yang Muyun is no longer by my side, but his official title has not been taken off, and he is doubled, isn't it enough for me to do it?" ”

"The emperor's grace is immense, but as a courtier, he failed to sympathize with the holy will," Yu Qian bowed slightly: "The minister made a reluctant request to the emperor on behalf of Yang Muyun...... He wanted to be transferred back to the military department, and asked the emperor for permission. ”

"Wow, he also learned to drill so quickly," Zhu Qizhen hooked the corner of his lips and said, "I want to hear it, what kind of reason is it?" ”

"Your Majesty," Yu Qian said with a solemn face, "Yang Muyun has no foundation in the army, and those officers who are from noble relatives have excluded him, making him feel that he is not satisfied in the army. ”
