Chapter 11: The Three-Year Covenant
After turning around and returning to his handsome tent, someone came to report below, saying that Qin Hong, the governor of the three sides, asked to see him.
Zhu Houzhao didn't expect Qin Hong to come so quickly, so he smiled and said, "Please let Lord Qin in!" ”
When the messenger left, Wang Shouren said, "It seems that our Lord Qin is really in a hurry. After saying this, Wang Shouren laughed first, obviously feeling that he was too narrow-minded.
However, Zhu Houzhao didn't smile, but sighed softly, and said with some emotion: "Qin Hong is nearly eighty years old, and he is in the northwest for the country's borders, three years ago, this palace promised him that there would be a war in the northwest after three years, and it was this palace himself who led the army to come, if three years have passed, this palace has come, and it can be regarded as not losing his trust in this pillar of the country." ”
When Wang Shouren heard this, his face became serious, and he sighed: "If all the courtiers in the world have such a heart to serve the country, why worry about the Ming Dynasty and not being prosperous." ”
Glancing at Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, although Qin Hong is old, but we are still young, this Ming will definitely be more prosperous when it is handed over to us, and the prosperity of this Ming Dynasty will start from this Northwest War." This palace wants the world to know, from today onwards, the Ming and the Tartars have reversed their offense and defense, and wherever the Tartars can go in the future, I can also go to the Ming Dynasty, Kou can go, I can also go. ”
Wang Shouren looked at the high-spirited His Royal Highness the Prince, and couldn't help but feel a pride in his heart, and said with a smile: "The minister is willing to be His Royal Highness's Huo Hussar." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled: "Huo Huqi? This palace thinks it's more appropriate for you to be Wei Qing! ”
Huo Hussar is Huo Quai, Huo Quai's evaluation is naturally very high, he was named the champion Hou, but he died young, not a good sign, but Wei Qing's first expedition was a surprise attack on Longcheng, opening the prelude to the Han-Hungarian War. Wei Qing is good at nurturing the war with war, daring to go deep with soldiers, giving strict orders to generals, loving and loving the soldiers, being generous and polite to colleagues, and being a very good minister but not a private authority.
This is also Zhu Houzhao's expectation of Wang Shouren, after listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Shouren hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister should bow and die as hard as he can." ”
Rated as Wei Qing, this status is not low, and Wang Shouren obviously knows his status in the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Of course, this is not what Zhu Houzhao said to buy people's hearts, in fact, Zhu Houzhao's expectations for Wang Shouren are higher, Wei Qing is a famous general, and Zhu Houzhao wants to train Wang Shouren into a civil and military saint. In terms of knowledge, Zhu Houzhao hoped that Wang Shouren would reform Confucianism and give birth to a doctrine that was more conducive to the expansion of Confucianism, and at the same time sweep away the dregs of science.
In comparison, Confucianism in the Han and Tang dynasties is very good, Confucian students carry a three-foot Qingfeng sword, dare to kill, yearn for Ban Dingyuan, what he wants to do is to put pen to paper from Rong, and want to find the marquis immediately.
What Zhu Houzhao wanted was the pride of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the poet Li He once wrote a poem: "Why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures." Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? This yearning for military merits and the desire for external expansion are definitely the temperament that a strong country needs to have in this era, and Zhu Houzhao hopes that Wang Shouren can bring it out.
As soon as Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shoureneng's words were finished, Qin Hong walked in from outside with a person, and when he saw Qin Hong, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly greeted him.
Qin Hong didn't have time to see the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao grabbed Qin Hong when he went up, looked Qin Hong up and down, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Before I came, the palace was still worried, but when I saw Qin Qing's body Kangtai today, the palace suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, in the past three years, the palace has been thinking about the northwest all the time, missing Qin Qing." ”
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Qin Hong's eyes were also a little red, and he said emotionally: "In the past three years, the minister has been thinking about His Highness all the time, and he has been looking forward to the arrival of my great soldiers all the time. ”
Liao Fan, who was standing on the side, didn't expect that Qin Hong's relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so deep, and he was a little envious in his heart, and at the same time, he also had some yearning, he had to work hard, and he would have such a day in the future.
"Your Highness, this is Liao Fan, the governor of Guyuan!" Qin Hong naturally didn't forget Liao Fan, who came with him.
Hearing Qin Hong's introduction of himself, Liao Fan hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Liao Fan, the former governor of the state, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Glancing at Liao Fan, Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, and then said: "In the barracks, there is no need to be so polite, so be polite!" ”
When Liao Fan stood up, Qin Hong introduced: "Your Highness, Liao Fan is a capable official, in Guyuan in the past few years, thanks to Liao Fan, otherwise the minister's body would have been unable to withstand it a long time ago." Liao Fan can handle everything that the minister explains, and he is a rare talent, and the minister also sent a talent for His Highness today. ”
Liao Fan on the side heard this, and almost waved excitedly, looking at the relationship between Qin Hong and His Royal Highness the Prince, these words are very useful.
Qin Hong's words are frank, and there is no suspicion of forming a party for personal gain, plus Qin Hong is about to be eighty years old this year, and this person has not lived for a few years, these words should be sincere. Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled: "To get Qin Qing's praise, I think it is a capable person, such a capable can naturally be reused, and the palace will advise my father when I go back." ”
Zhu Houzhao naturally couldn't reuse Liao Fan on the spot, because he didn't know Liao Fan, although he knew Qin Hong, but who knew whether Qin Hong had been deceived or not, it was better to find out.
In addition, it is also because of irregularities, now that Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince, is in charge of the Beijing camp and leading the troops outside, there are some things that still have to be avoided.
"Qin Qing, let's talk inside!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and pulled Qin Hong inside, and at the same time diverted the topic.
Qin Hong naturally knows what to say, what should be said is said, and the rest is what should not be said, Qin Hong naturally won't say it.
The group entered the handsome tent, the guests and hosts sat down, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Qin Qing, this way, the northwest is very different from three years ago, the people's hearts are stable, the city is stable, compared with three years ago, it can be described as earth-shaking changes, Qin Qing said and listen to the palace!" Speaking of Zhu Houzhao, he looked expectant.
Of course, subordinates hope that leaders can listen to their achievements, and Qin Hong is no exception, and Qin Hong began to introduce what he has done in the northwest in recent years.
Although there was no lack of modesty between the words, there was still a sense of smugness in his demeanor, and it was obvious that Qin Hong was very satisfied with his performance. Zhu Houzhao agrees with this, he is also very satisfied with Qin Hong's performance, and even the DPRK is also very satisfied with Qin Hong's performance.
