Just as he was watching, he suddenly heard a voice from the compartment next door: "His Royal Highness King Qin Han turned out to be such a romantic person?" I don't know yet. ”

"You see he's making it up. His Royal Highness King Qin Han is good at martial arts, and he can't do the same as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can he be so romantic. His Royal Highness King Qin Han has a guard under him who is my fellow countryman and told me. ”

"The people of your Fengyang Mansion are good, and every noble person has fellow villagers in his family. But keep your voice quiet, this is His Royal Highness! ”

"What's this! I didn't insult His Highness when I said this, it was all true, and I didn't mean to belittle it, even if someone heard it, unless it was a royal child, it wouldn't be reported. Who has that idle time. ”

"Be careful, then."

"Okay, I'll be quiet." This person's voice was a little quieter, and there was a voice on the stage, Yun Xi couldn't hear it clearly for a while, until this play was finished and sung, and he heard someone next door say: "......, I heard that Lord Dong Fuguan Xie Jinjie found out that Princess Qin Han is a mixture of Mongolians and Semu people in the Western Regions, not a mixture of Han and Mongolians as said in this play." ”

"Mongols mixed with Semu? That means that the current His Royal Highness the King of Qin also has the blood of the Semu people? ”

"No, His Royal Highness the King of Qin was born to the second concubine of His Royal Highness King Qin Han, and the second concubine is the daughter of King Ninghe, so the current His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a Han Chinese."

"It's fine. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor hates the people so much now, and he has to fight in the northwest and Samarkand, His Royal Highness will not be able to do it. Hey, by the way, why is it fighting with Samarkand in the northwest? You are from Fengyang, there is news in various mansions, maybe you can go to the palace, tell me about it? ”

"Hehe," the man laughed a few times, and after listening to the man's flattery just now, he said, "Then I'll talk about it." ”

"The emperor hates lustful people, and this is not wrong, but it is still not quite right. The emperor should hate the two religions. He then told the news he had received from all over the place.

Yun Xi, who was next door, was secretly surprised in his heart. These news are not uncommon to any of the children of the noble family, but the two people next door speak vulgarly, they should not be the noble family, they are about a middle-level military general with a little money. It's a bit abnormal to know this. He couldn't help but continue listening.

"......, so I said that the emperor hates these two religions."

"I see. Then why is there a war with Samarkand this time? ”

"When the emperor was in Guangzhou, he fell into witchcraft, and after checking it, it was done by people from Samarkand, you know, but the emperor also knows the overall situation, and he is unwilling to send troops to the northwest to punish them for this, but who knows that the people of Samarkand actually kicked their noses in the face, and they want to send troops to attack the fiefdom of the king of Qin in the northwest, and even plan to enter the Central Plains in the future. How could this emperor let him succeed? That Ming Dynasty is not discredited, and the emperor will be disgraced, so he has decided to send troops to the northwest to fight them after the New Year, so that they know that it is powerful. ”

"It's all true?" He had also heard such rumors, but there was no definite news.

"Of course it's true! This morning, I was drinking with a friend from the Zheng Guogong Mansion, and my friend said it himself, and the emperor called several nobles into the palace to talk about it. When Lord Zheng Guogong came back and told the eldest young master of his family about this, he heard it. ”

"That seems to be true. This Samarkand is indeed too arrogant. There are a lot of emperors, and they actually kicked their noses in the face, they should have beaten them a long time ago! ”

"I said yes. The imperial court must send a large army to the northwest to subdue Samarkand at once! Even if I levy a few more taxes this year, I'm willing to do so! ”

"Hey, when did you support the court so much?"

"When did you say this, when did I not support the imperial court?"

"I'm wrong, I'll be fined a drink." The next door was quiet for a while, and the person who spoke just now said: "If you want to put me aside, of course you are willing to beat Samarkand severely by the imperial court, but you are unwilling to collect more taxes." ”

"I'm different from you! I am a native of Fengyang, I have been doing business with my father in the capital over the years, and I have never encountered much trouble through the relationship between the mansions of major families, and the emperor is also from Fengyang, and I am also a fellow countryman of the emperor, if the court does not have enough money to fight the war, how can I not pay a few dollars for my fellow countrymen? ”

"Besides, it stands to reason that the battle in the northwest has nothing to do with us, but how can this person not be greedy and not enough? Samarkand must not be satisfied with the northwest, and went east to occupy the Central Plains. Isn't there a lot of drama in the past two years that when the Mongols went south to occupy the Central Plains, they killed nine out of ten? I didn't believe it much at first, but then I asked Xiucai Gong, who had read the book, and Xiucai said that this was true, and it was very clear in the "Yuan History" compiled by the imperial court, and besides, what they made up by the Mongols themselves, I can't remember clearly, anyway, the history books of the previous dynasty also wrote these, so I believed this. ”

"I also asked a friend who had fought in the war, and said that if the army was defeated in the northwest, according to common sense, the entire Central Plains would not be able to hold it! You have to retreat all the way to the Huai River to maybe you can stand on your feet, but it's not safe. My family is from Mengcheng, and in Huaibei, if the imperial court loses the battle in the northwest, my family will suffer! The people of Samarkand and the Mongols are all barbarians in the north, and it is said that the lord of Samarkand is called Timur and married a princess of the Mongols, and he is also a raccoon dog, and he does not slaughter the people in the Central Plains like the Mongols! Even for the sake of the villagers, for the sake of the family, I have to support the imperial court to fight the war with Samarkand in the northwest! ”

"Oh, my family is from Heyan Xiangcheng, and they are also in Huaibei, so I must also support the imperial court to defeat the people of Samarkand in the northwest! Well, if the imperial court doesn't have much money, I'm willing to pay it. The man said as if with great determination.

"Also, the people of Samarkand are not the same as the Mongols, and they have a lot more flowers. They all believe in the Heavenly Religion, and the Heavenly Religion has many rules, and some of them don't sound right," he said, reciting a few rules that were incompatible with Han customs, and then said, "I heard that wherever they go, they have to let the local people believe in their religion." ”

The few people who were listening to him were surprised: "There are still such rules? If you do this, you won't become a beast! Even brutes don't do such things! "This Heavenly Sect must not be believed. It seems that the imperial court must block this Samarkand country in the northwest. "That's it!" "I said why does the emperor hate them so much, it turns out that they still have such rules! Such people should be driven out of the Ming Dynasty! The emperor must have known that they still have such rules, so he will hate them! ”

"The emperor is really discerning, what a saint!" Several people suddenly praised Yun Xi in unison.

"Huh." Yun Hee, of course, heard this praise and laughed happily.

However, Chen Lijie said at this time: "Your Majesty, the few people next door sound like ordinary people who are not officials or eunuchs, is it a bit inappropriate to discuss the government in this way?" ”

"Hey, it's nothing for the people to talk about a few things in the court in private. Who wouldn't talk about such a big thing if anyone with some insight didn't talk about it? If you don't even care about this, then what has become of Daming? Do you have to make the road of the Ming people unsuccessful? Yun Xi said.

"The minister is stupid." He immediately confessed his mistake.

Yun Xi was in a good mood when he heard this, although he saw that the actors had finished resting and came up to continue acting, but there was no need to watch it, so he told Song Qingshu to settle the bill, and he took the rest of the guards downstairs.

He couldn't be unhappy. Although Jin Yiwei will also report some folk ideological trends on weekdays, telling him that ordinary people still support the war with Samarkand because they have watched too many dramas and listened to more books, and the thoughts of the generals and soldiers in the army have not fluctuated, Yun Xi is very cautious about this, for fear that Jin Yiwei and the town secretary will make it up to fool him; Even if it is not compiled, it may not be able to represent the mainstream public opinion.

But this time, he was happy that he had heard the discussion with his own ears and finally confirmed that the people really supported him in sending troops to fight Samarkand.

'In the past few years, I have been writing such a book, and it has finally worked, and my investment in the Department of Culture and Propaganda in the past few years has not been in vain. Yun Xi thought to herself. His investment in the Department of Culture and Propaganda is not small. There are dozens of people, and the salary alone is tens of thousands of yuan a year; That's it.,What's more important is that each book has to be printed in many copies after it comes out.,This costs the old nose money.。 Movable copper type is worn, hundreds of them have to be engraved every year, and the cost of labor and paper is more than salary. Because it costs too much money to support the Propaganda Division, he has thought about whether to reduce the scale.

Yun Xi left the opera garden, quickly returned to the palace, and immediately ordered someone to call Qin Song, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and said to him: "I also know that you will be busy with business during the Chinese New Year, but I always feel uncomfortable if I don't order this matter immediately." ”

"The emperor commanded, and the ministers obeyed." Qin Song's words were concise and to the point.

"You don't have to say anything about what you ordered Jinyiwei, just tell them that next year the army will go to the northwest to deal with Samarkand, and then add fuel and vinegar to what Samarkand has done."

"Yes, Your Majesty. When he returned, he commanded them immediately. This task is not heavy, even if it is done during the New Year, there is no difficulty, so Qin Song immediately agreed.

Yun Xi told him a few more words, sat down and said with a smile: "Your family must be very busy during the New Year these days, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the minister will never dare to hand over the minister in private. Now the minister's family is full of people from Benwei, who have been living in a township all these years, or the people of Jinyiwei, or the acquaintances of the minister when he was by the emperor's side, and there are no other people. He immediately pleaded.

"Don't be so nervous, I didn't say you made friends with the minister in private." Yun Xi smiled: "You still don't believe it, who else can I trust?" ”
