Zhu Pingjin didn't expect that Tianquan Gao's family trusted him so much in his ability to earn money. He only gave a slight hint that Gao Antai was already imagining the future.

No wonder I'm a boy of fortune! Zhu Pingjin was depressed.

After the military affairs were roughly finished, Shu Guoping said goodbye, and Zhu Pingjin left Gao Antai to talk about personal matters.

The second brother wrote in the letter, Xuyong two places, near Luzhou and far away from Xufu, and there are Naxi and Chishui rivers connecting Naxi and Hejiang counties, and the traffic is very convenient. Can you talk to Governor Liao, let him go to the road, and put Xuyong and Xuyong under the jurisdiction of Luzhou. ”

Xuyong (now Xuyong County and Gulin County) were under the jurisdiction of Luzhou in the era when Zhu Pingjin once lived. Gao Dengtai's proposal is fully in line with the principle of administrative jurisdiction and should be supported. It's just a political thing, and it's not like it's supposed to be like this.

"The imperial court set up the Xuyong Hall in Xuyong to collect grain and supply it to the guards in Guizhou. Assigned to Luzhou, who will supply Guizhou's military rations? Also, the governor of Xuzhou sits in Xuyong. This prefect is a five-grade court official, much higher than a court judge. If it is assigned to Luzhou, who will be the master and who will be the second in the future? Yongningwei and Xuyong Tongzhi are stationed in the same place, and the old city and new city are one east and one west, but they belong to the Guizhou Metropolitan Command and Envoy (Note 1). If Xuyong is assigned to Luzhou, will Yongningwei's affiliation also be adjusted? ”

Zhu Pingjin's rhetorical question made Gao Antai silent, and he realized that he was too simple to consider the problem.

"Mr. Gao, don't worry!" Zhu Pingjin laughed when he saw Gao Antai's aggressive appearance, "It's man-made." This son will find a way! ”

"Thank you, student, for your kindness!" Gao Antai stood up and bowed.

Thank me, what? Do you really regard Luzhou as your own territory? Let's talk about it!

"Mr. Gao, this time I went south to Luzhou, the road is far away, and there are barbarians in the wilderness, you take two companies from the Tusi camp."

"Thank you for your concern! My Gao family fought there, and the road is very familiar! Gao Antai didn't care.

He didn't understand what he meant, Zhu Pingjin shook his head in his heart.

After that, the two companies stayed in Luzhouwei. Zhang Baoheng, the commander of the company's guard, led the palace guards and a company of township soldiers to Luzhou, and Wu Yuankang, the left guard of the palace, and Cui Chengru, the hundred households, would also lead the officers and soldiers of the left guard. These soldiers will be remixed together with the Luzhou recruits. ”

Now Gao Antai understood. Feelings: More than 300 people in the Gao family were eaten by the prince! He puffed out his eyes and wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask, because Shizi was still talking.

"Luzhou, an important town in southern Sichuan, should be thickly gathered! At present, in Luzhou, there is only Tan Sigui in the fourth battalion of the caravan. But its name is a battalion, but in fact there is only one company. The locally recruited recruits are still being trained and cannot be used for a short time. Now that General Song and Mr. He have arrived in Luzhou, Ben Shizi has given them a task, which is to form the third regiment of the caravan. At least one regiment and four battalions should be placed in Luzhou, so that this son can rest assured! The specific appointment documents of the officials in Luzhou are about to be issued, and this prince wants to hear Mr. Gao's opinion. ”

It turns out that not only the prince wants to eat, not only the Gao family and the two companies, but also myself!

"Shizi, the student never thought about it before, this appointment ......," Gao Antai muttered.

Zhu Pingjin shook his head: "Could it be that Mr. Gao is willing to be a janitor at the North Gate for the rest of his life?" Mr. Gao is a great talent in the world, how can he be trapped in the pond when he turns into a dragon in the wind and rain? ”

Gao Antai honestly admits that he lacks ability: "The students originally wanted to make contributions to the battlefield, but they have never fought a war. If it is to govern the people and do business, the students will only say that they will not do it. I was appointed as the deputy chief of the general staff, and the students did not respond. It's not that the student is lazy, but that Brother He has a lot to do...... I don't understand anything, and I can only add to the chaos when I come. ”

"I was born to be useful! There are many elderly people, and they are just humble! Zhu Pingjin refuted Gao Antai with sincerity.

Zhu Pingjin stood up and motioned to Gao Antai to look at the map: "Sir, please see, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Chu, Guizhou, Fujian provinces, as well as Wusizang, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, my Ming Dynasty four sides of the heart, there are barbarians. Zi said, Yi Di into China, then China; When China enters Yidi, it will be Yidi. Mencius said that Shun was born in Zhufeng, moved to Negative Xia, died in Mingtiao, and was also from Dongyi; KING WEN WAS BORN IN QIZHOU AND DIED IN YING, AND HE WAS ALSO A NATIVE OF XIYI! ”

"The students have heard Master Shu say that this is Huayi's argument (the argument should be "change"). ”

"Yes, this is the change of Huayi." Zhu Pingjin said. In his previous life, there were many Americans, Chinese and Australians, with yellow skin, black eyes, and a chattering mouth. What's even worse is that even their way of thinking has been beautified and Chinese-Australianized.

"It is a saint of the old benevolence, not necessarily a Han person; is a good man, not necessarily not a barbarian! Chinese civilization has been inherited for 5,000 years, what is the inheritance? It's a lineage, not a bloodline! This dynasty is like General Qin Liangyu, who is not only a barbarian, but also a woman, and this son sees her as stronger than many Han family sons! ”

"The words of the son of the world are deafening! The students understand that the prince wants the students to go to China! Gao Antai's gaze turned from the map to Zhu Pingjian, and his eyes flashed brightly, "My Gao family has been in Tianquan for six hundred years, and I have never forgotten my ancestors. We are toast and Chinese! It's my Ming Dynasty's official army! ”

"Mr. Gao said it well!" Zhu Pingjin high-fived and praised, "Mr. Gao is so strong, shouldn't he be useful?" ”

"How does Shizi plan to make great use of students? Shizi once agreed to a request from his students. Gao Antai calmed down. He was afraid of falling into the pit dug by this shrewd son. “”

"You don't have to do it all the time." Zhu Pingjin smiled, "I can't stand the rules of the palace!" ”

"Exactly! The son of the world has a good memory. ”

"Then the gentleman will open a yamen by himself. There is no house, there is no servant, the gentleman himself is the yamen, and wherever the gentleman goes, the yamen will go! A Luzhou is too small to fit Mr. Gao, so it's better for you to serve in the palace. ”

"In this case, then please ask the son of the world to command." Gao Antai said.

"Let's call it the Chemiya! Mr. Gao is the minister, you can find the following people yourself, and this son can also recommend a few people. The focus of your current work is the Tusi of the southern Sichuan Ministries and the four Tuprefects of Wumeng, Wusa, Zhenxiong and Dongchuan. Persuade them to make them loyal to the Ming Dynasty and accept the dispatch of the Shu Wangfu and the Sichuan government. Even if they can't figure it out for the time being, and they don't want to pay food and pick up soldiers, they must let them do business with the Shu Palace. After a long time in business and full of favors, they will naturally turn their hearts to Daming. This son has to go to the government to ask for an identity for his husband. In this way, when the gentleman goes out, there is an additional talisman. In the business of southern Sichuan toast, Mr. personally went to do the overkill, and this son will arrange another competent manpower. As for the shares, the Gao family will not be less. After you leave, hand over the two battalions of Tusi Infantry and Cavalry at the North Gate to Xu Hanqing, he can fight and is willing to fight. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Gao Antai knelt down in Zhu Pingjin's office.

"It's business. I'm going to talk to you about private matters now. Zhu Pingjin smiled and said to Gao Antai.

There is a conspiracy! Gao Antai looked at Zhu Pingjin's smile on his face, and his heart was empty, it must be about women!

……

In an elegant and quiet courtyard behind the Imperial Garden of the Shu Palace, the two old men were talking, and they seemed to be quite familiar.

Between the square circles, black and white are staggered, which can be described as evenly matched.

Huang Jin did not wear a red and gaudy court dress. He was dressed in a cyan robe and wore a Tang scarf; The master Shu who played the game was dressed in a gray crane and wore a diagonal scarf. The beards of the two old men add up to a foot in length, and they complement each other.

Seeing that the plate was unfavorable, Huang Jin threw the white child between his fingers into the basket, which was regarded as admitting defeat.

Ay! He looked up to the sky and sighed: "I can't imagine that the prince of the world treats the old minister so well!" Look at this elegant and quiet place, and you will know the sincerity of the son. 'Wenzheng', such a beautiful confession, Lord Qin should also be blinded under the nine springs! It's a pity, this official has been an official for 20 years, and it is just a luxury to think that in the future, the word 'Wen' is just an extravagant hope! ”

"Lord Huang lives in the ministry, his name is full of government and opposition, and he happens to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, isn't a 'Wen' word at his fingertips?" Master Shu said with a smile.

Master Shu was invited by Zhu Pingjin to accompany the guests, but he didn't expect that the two old men were interested in scripture and history, and their ages were almost the same. In the past few days, the two have become friends who talk about everything. Huang Jin inspected the royal tomb and the arrangements for the guard of honor and found that everything was ready. As a messenger, he is actually the funeral host, and when the time comes, he just recites words and talks, so he relaxes his heart and takes the initiative to play chess with Master Shu.

Huang Jin disagrees with Master Shu's statement. He tapped the stone table with his fingertips: "How can it be so easy!" That's for the emperor's nod! If those of us who are officials die in office, the emperor may still remember it; If you say goodbye to the old and return to your hometown, after a long time, the new emperor ascends the throne, where do you still know that there is an old thing like you! Besides, I know that Yu has always been strict with his name, and Yu Qian has the power to save the world, and he doesn't even have a nickname when he dies. His son has been complaining for several years, and the emperor has made up for a 'sorrow'! It can be regarded as an explanation to the people of the world! ”

Master Shu is also very familiar with the historical facts of this dynasty. He retorted: "That was because Yu Shaobao was killed by the traitor Xu Youzhen (Note 2)." Lord Huang is a scholar of the dynasty, how can the two be compared! ”

"And what about the court?" Huang Jin's fingertips tapped on the table again, "Didn't Zhang Jiangling (Zhang Juzheng) die in office?" He was the first assistant of the court, and he was awarded the Taifu and Taishi in front of him, and when he died, he was given the Zhuguo, but the result was just a 'Wenzhong (Note 1)'! ”

"There is also a Sun Chengzong in this dynasty." Master Shu shook his head.

"Sun Chengzong entered the customs as a Tartar, and his family was killed, not from old age and disease."

To refute it again is to raise the bar, Master Shu smiled to himself.

He understood where Huang Jin's feelings were. Huang Jin was transferred from the Beijing Officials Department to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, ostensibly to be promoted, but in fact he moved to the left. Nanjing Ministry of Rites is a well-known idle official yamen in the Ming officialdom, and the next step is to return to his hometown.

Master Shu alertly shifted the topic back to Zhu Pingjian: "The son of the world is pure and kind-hearted, and he can't see others suffering. At the end of last year, he went to the market to buy people, and when he came back, he cried bitterly. It's just that he is young and doesn't understand the rules of the court. The nickname is granted by the holy decree of the imperial court, he is a vassal king, how can he give it if he says it! Lord Huang doesn't have to take it seriously, just treat him as a child's temper! ”

"That's not right!" Elder Huang became serious, "What about the holy decree?" Change the dynasty, who will recognize the holy decree of the previous dynasty! The nickname is not to watch with the present, but with the watch from thousands of years later! One day, the historical books were lost, and future generations did not know what happened to you and me today, so they vaguely recognized the handwriting on the tombstone, and shouted: Oh, there is still a loyal minister of the country here! With this sentence, it is enough to comfort the body! ”

Both of them laughed as they spoke. Master Shu said: "Leave a name in history, and consolidate the long-cherished wish of you and my scholars!" Lord Huang compiles the history of the country, and it is expected that he will leave a name in history! ”

"Editing the history of the country?" Huang Jin shook his head, "Books are dead, but people are alive." It is better to teach a good student than to edit the history of the country! ”

Master Shu was proud in his heart, but he still asked knowingly: "Lord Huang once used to be a waiter in the East Palace, so today's son and the first emperor have both heard Lord Huang speak, and Lord Huang is also considered an emperor......

"Son of Heaven?" Huang Jin snorted from his nose, "Today, I am very attentive, but unfortunately, talent...... The first emperor was smarter, but unfortunately he was instigated by Wei Zhongxian's eunuch again! ”

Seeing Huang Jin's sour face, Master Shu was not good at talking. Suddenly, he said to Huang Jin, he has a treasure, just invite Lord Huang to watch it.

A long, narrow square brocade box was brought out and placed on the stone table, and when it was opened, it was a scroll.

Famous calligraphy and painting? Huang Jin secretly speculated and denied it. The yellow satin used for framing clearly indicates the identity of the author.

The scroll slowly opens to reveal a four-character inscription. When Huang Jin saw the inscription, he was taken aback. Not because of how shocking the inscription of the scroll is, nor because of the exquisite calligraphy that chases Wang and Yan, but because of ...... It's that he was born as a jinshi, a second-class high-ranking official, and he didn't know a word.

"The world...... Public. Huang Jin deliberately omitted a word, so as to wait for Master Shu to read out the word he didn't recognize.

Master Shu was immersed in the excitement of offering treasures, and didn't pay attention to the embarrassment of Master Huang at all.

He said: "The journey of the avenue is also, the saint has not been caught, but has ambitions." The old man asked Ren Yu Shizi at Duanli Gate, and Shizi answered the question of this volume. The world is for the public, Yao Shunyu soup! There are disciples who are like saints, what a pity for Wenzheng! ”

Note 1: Yongning Wei belongs to the Guizhou Capital Division, but Yongning Hall (Qing Dynasty name) belongs to the Sichuan Buzheng Division, which is undoubted. It can be seen that the military guards and administrative regions of the border areas of the Ming Dynasty did not absolutely coincide. Those who study history should understand that today's politics is complicated, and the politics of the past are not simple.

Note 2: In the record of Xu Youzhen in the History of the Ming Dynasty, what Xiangmu remembers the most is a sentence left by Xu Youzhen before he participated in the Nangong Revolution and left the house: "Return, people; No return, ghost! ”

A political gambler is a gamble of people and ghosts.

Note 3: The number of words with the text as the first character is in the following order: Zheng, Zhen, Cheng, Zhong, Duan, Ding, Jian, Yi, Su, Yi, Xian, Zhuang, Jing, Yu, Jie, Yi, Jing, Mu, Zhao, Ke, Gong, Xiang, Qing, Xiu, Kang, Jie, Min, Da, Tong, Jie, An, Lie, He.

In the Ming Dynasty, the people who received the nickname of "Wenzheng" were Fang Xiaoru, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Sun Chengzong, and Ni Yuanlu. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Ni Yuanlu died and was posthumously awarded by Nanming.
