"If you understand this truth, it's good to study, travel, and learn to be a man, we must experience as officials, how to know the people's sufferings if you don't read, don't know the reason, don't know the road, I'm your teacher, I don't want you to be a nerd, or I hope you can learn more about the people's suffering, but it's winter now, and I can't see much, and when I have the opportunity to go to Jiangnan, you go to see the green mountains and clear water, then it's good."

"Teacher, isn't your hometown Jiangnan very beautiful, you haven't been back for many years?"

In the 29th year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng was dissatisfied with Yan Song and other people in power, and left Beijing to come to his hometown Jiangling for three years of vacation

"Alas, when I resigned and went home for three years, I didn't go back home since then, and in the three years at home, I traveled all over the land of Jingxiang for the teacher, and deeply felt the suffering of the small people, originally I wanted to stay away from the government and politics at home, and I appreciated the chrysanthemum for the rest of my life, but the sense of responsibility of the scholar made the teacher restless and the mood could not be calm, so the teacher went out of the mountain and stepped into the officialdom."

I have to say that Zhang Juzheng is a rare good official, dedicated to the people and the country, but there is intrigue in the court every day, how much time to spend his mind on state affairs, fortunately, the current emperor is an enlightened monarch, mainly like the first emperor is mediocre, I am afraid that he can't use how much ability he has

"Teachers and students admire you as a person, and they also admire your work, you are a model for my life, and students must take the teacher as an example to do good errands for the people and the country."

"Yunjie, it's good that you have this heart, everything has to come out more, and with real skills, you can do a good job, although you have done a few things, the emperor is very satisfied, and he is sincerely happy for you, but after all, it is a trick to do big things, or to have an overall concept as a teacher, and some immature ideas are being considered, if these are done well, then the national strength of our Ming Dynasty will rise significantly, and even ordinary people can be powerful, but now I haven't thought about it for the teacher, and I have to rely on you to help me fulfill my wish."

"As a teacher, I want to come to the border pass this time, but also to be able to inspect the border pass of all dynasties and dynasties, which is the biggest hidden danger, how to solve this hidden danger and prevent the war from breaking out again, this is my purpose, I don't know about military affairs, and I came here to find a few generals who have been at the border all the year round to understand them, let them tell me about the form of the border pass, and also understand whether the real strength of the 'Mongolian' ancients is really as powerful as they say, I don't believe that the same soldiers, our equipment is better than them, and we can't beat them."

"Lord Zhang, the last general, is the border army from Xuanfu, I am more familiar with the situation here, if you want to understand the actual situation of the border army, as well as the situation of the 'Mongolian' ancients, the last general can tell Lord Zhang," Wu Dashan on the side picked up the topic

"General Ao Wu, you are from Xuanfu, so how did you go to the Beijing army?"

"Lord Zhang, a few years ago, the Beijing army lacked cavalry training, and it happened that Cheng Anhou went to Xuanfu to pick me up, it's been several years, I also want to come back to see the old brothers here, Lord Zhang, if you want to know the real situation at the border pass, I can call them all, you can ask."

"Okay, General Wu has really done the official a great favor, I'm still worried about these things, when the time comes, you can also tell me about the situation of the 'Mongolian' ancients, I just hearsay about these things, and the records in the books are not as familiar as you who 'deal' with them every day, I don't want to be a nerd on paper, change the status quo of the border pass, it is not possible without first-hand information, you keep these confidential for the time being, don't tell me, I will have to play the emperor after the investigation is clear."

"Lord Zhang, don't worry, I won't say it"

"It's a good thing that a few adults are chatting so happily," it was Liu Yan who spoke

"Lord Liu, we are waiting for you to eat, hurry up, come over quickly, the food will come up in a while" Liu Yan is a fourth-grade official, I will not stand up to greet him if I disturb, Zhang Juzheng will not only stand up for Wu Dashan

"Master Zhang, Lord Lan is embarrassed, the lower official washed up on it, and came down late, this is the first time to go out of Beijing for such a long time, the carriage hurts all over the body, it's really not a human business," Liu Yan complained in a chattering voice

Originally, in the Golden Palace, I saw that this Liu Yan was talking and had a good impression, but now this complaint has changed my impression of him all of a sudden, I don't think his attitude towards Wu Dashan is not good, people are four-grade military attachés, stand up to greet him, and don't give him any face, this Liu Yan is also a guy who values literature and light martial arts

"Lord Liu, you have worked hard, but we have only been gone for two hours this time, you can't take it, we still have two days to go, Lord Liu is okay," I said in a disdainful tone

"Lord Lan, this is nothing, even if the official is tired to death for the sake of the court, not to mention that it is just the pain of this tiring journey, can we walk slowly, so that your body can't stand it," Liu Yan changed his words and pulled Zhang Juzheng again

"Lord Liu, do you know what kind of errand we have this time," Zhang Juzheng said majestically, after all, Liu Yan is only a fourth-grade official, even if the emperor named him the horn of the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, but he still has to be controlled by Zhang Juzheng, no matter from there, he is Zhang Juzheng's subordinate

"Lord Zhang's subordinates know that we are going to negotiate with the 'Mongolian' ancients about withdrawing troops."

"It seems that Lord Liu is not confused, since you know that we are going to negotiate with the 'Mongolian' ancients, you know how much time we have to get there, Lord Liu, if you really can't bear it, go back now, I have already 'handed over' General Wu's journey tomorrow will be far, maybe we won't rest at night, Lord Liu, you have to be mentally prepared, don't because your question has affected the major affairs of the court, I said ugly things ahead, if the negotiation is delayed because of your question, the old man will take off your black yarn on the spot." This time, Zhang Juzheng was not polite at all, he saved some face for him just now, and now it is directly the attitude of his superiors towards his subordinates

"Lord Zhang's dismissal didn't mean that, I just think it's too fast, Lord Zhang, your body can't bear it, and when the time comes, it will affect the negotiation with the 'Mongolian' ancients," Liu Yan began to weakly defend himself

"The official's body, the official knows, you don't have to '' about it, you better take care of yourself, Yicheng will eat," Zhang Juzheng stopped talking to him, and directly let Yicheng eat

Dinner ended hastily in a depressing atmosphere, Zhang Juzheng put down his chopsticks and went back to the room after eating a few bites, Liu Yan also ate a few bites boringly, and walked away from a large table of dishes, leaving me and Wu Dashan there, I said to Wu Dashan: "General Wu, it's a pity that there are so many dishes, just the two of us, or you invite Ge Qianhu to eat together."

"How can Lan Daren, how can they eat with you?"

"It's okay General Wu, I still have three 'servant' brothers, I'm also going to call them, everyone is a martial artist, you don't need to learn the modesty of those literati."

Wu Dashan instructed the 'waiter' to call his two thousand households, and I also asked him to go by the way to call Liu Jinhu and the three of them, and the 'waiter' went out for a while, Liu Jinhu and a few of them came in, I first introduced Wu Dashan to them, and everyone greeted each other without being polite, and they started eating directly, at this time they didn't dare to drink, Zhang Juzheng's safety was the first, so everyone just ate food and chatted

"Lord Lan, General Wu, this is really not a human life when you eat food and no wine," it was Ge Qianhu who spoke, and he was also a bold person, so he was not so restrained with us

"Eating vegetables can't stop your stinky mouth, don't you know who we escort, and dare to drink, and when you get to Xuanfu, I'll kill you," Wu Dashan scolded with a smile

Ge Qianhu grinned and said: "General Wu, I'm not joking, I'm just waiting for you to go to Xuanfu and kill a few of us, and a few 'servants' and big brothers are also together, I want to see if General Wu's brothers are very good at drinking, our Jing army is famous, we can drink and fight, we are the first to drink, and we can't lose."

"Okay, hurry up and finish eating, go outside and take a look, you two will take turns on duty for me tonight, I can't be careless, I need to be careful"

The two thousand households didn't dare to joke when they saw Wu Dashan say this, so they hurriedly ate and said goodbye and went outside, Wu Dashan was also full at this time, and saw that a few of us were talking, and they also used the excuse to go out to inspect and leave the hall

"Brother Liu, why did you come out together again this time, I was still thinking about it for a long time, I didn't see the three of you, I didn't expect that we would meet again and be together for so long"

"Brother Lan, the brothers who were on duty in the Golden Palace this morning went back and said that you are now the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, and you will go to Xuanfu with Lord Zhang, and the emperor will send ten 'attendants' to protect Lord Zhang, and the three of us will go to find the general after discussing it, and ask the general to send a few of us out, and the general will know that our relationship will be fulfilled, and we are also a good opportunity to come out for a walk, and people are about to get moldy in the Gonggong Palace," Liu Jinhu always spoke on behalf of the two of them, and it is estimated that Lan Yunjie in the past was also like this

"Thank you, three brothers, I came in too busy, and I was in a hurry to enter the palace, so I can't go to you to play, but this errand is not easy to do, the three eldest brothers must be mentally prepared"

"Brother Lan, didn't you just go to negotiate with the 'Mongolian' ancients, and if you don't go to the battlefield, there is no danger, even if you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, our brothers will not be afraid, those 'Mongolian' ancients, you guys say yes?"

"Yes, there are so many of us, what else can we do, Brother Lan, you are a civil official, you have been a civil official for a long time, right?" Zhang Wensheng echoed nonchalantly
