Chapter 713: Final Request
The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the plan never changes quickly.
Although Ye Xun really wants to spend the past few years smoothly and leave when his son's throne is more secure, there are some things that he really can't say.
The Romanov's envoy crossed Ye Xun and went directly to the capital, Ye Xun didn't know about it, he just wanted to see the attitude of the imperial court in dealing with this matter, in other words, he was still looking at his son's adaptability.
In fact, the foreign envoys who are now active in the capital are not only the Tsarist Russian group, but also the envoys of Sha Jahan, the envoys of the Annan Li family, the Japanese post-nine-tails, and even the Huang Taiji.
These people all have a common goal in their activities in the capital, that is, to sue Ye Xun.
The clowns in the surrounding countries are not terrible, at most they are a swarm of "buzzing" flies, but the officials in the court are different.
Ye Xun laid off the celebrant supervisor, the East Factory, and the West Factory, which can be said to have cleared the way for the civil officials, but the civil officials seem to have collectively suffered from amnesia, and now except for Zhang Quan and Yuan Yingtai, almost all civil officials have begun to impeach Ye Xun.
What is bullying the king, plotting against the wrong, selling official positions, oppressing the good, mutilating the loyal and good, and so on
For a while, Ye Xun seemed to have become the number one traitor in the ages.
After getting the news, Ye Xun was in no hurry to return to the capital, and what the officials and people in the capital didn't expect was that the Ming Morning News, which had always been shouting for Ye Xun, suddenly died down.
In the public opinion of the entire capital, Ye Xun really seemed to have done something wrong, and he didn't dare to say anything again.
Ye Xun's New Year was spent in such an atmosphere.
Fortunately, there are no filths in the army, which also makes Ye Xun's ears a lot cleaner.
It's been ten years, and Ye Xun's Spring Festival is the first time it's been so deserted, and Sun Chuanting, Qi Bingzhong and others all know a little about the news in the capital, and they have also defended Ye Xun.
It's just that their recitals are the same as those that impeached Ye Xun, and after they were handed over, they were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news.
In the governor's yamen of Chahanhot, Sun Chuanting and Qi Bingzhong both brought their families over to accompany Ye Xun to celebrate the New Year.
So far, no matter how turbulent the tide of the fallen leaves in the court is, Ye Xun has never said anything.
The more Ye Xun stopped, the more scared Sun Chuanting became, because with his understanding of Ye Xun, Ye Xun shouldn't be so reluctant to swallow his anger! It's not going to be another killing spree, is it?
He is different from generals like Qi Bingzhong and Man Gui, if Ye Xun does not rebel, he will still support Ye Xun as before, but if Ye Xun has the heart of rebellion, he will definitely not agree.
Sun Chuanting didn't know that the reason why Ye Xun stayed in Chahanhot was to wait for news from the court on the one hand, and to arrange the westward journey.
Man Gui, Cao Bianjiao, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other people will definitely follow Ye Xun, because they are Ye Xun's descendants, and there will definitely be no place for them in the future court, so it is better to go out with Ye Xun to fight the world.
In terms of soldiers, Mongolian soldiers are still the mainstay, and at the same time, in the secret military bases near Lanzhou, various strategic materials have also begun to be secretly transported to the newly built bases in the West.
These things are carried out in extreme secrecy, so Ye Xun needs to be in charge in person.
After the banquet, Ye Xun, Sun Chuanting, and Qi Bingzhong came to the inner study.
After entering the door, Ye Xun picked up two folds from the bookcase and threw them to them, saying, "This is a copy of the fold I prepared for you, you can take a look, the original has been sent away."
The two of them subconsciously took the fold, opened it and looked at it, and immediately frowned.
It turned out that this was also an impeachment memo written by Ye Xun for them, which described in detail how Ye Xun oppressed the grassland tribes, killed herdsmen and other crimes.
In fact, both of them know that what is written on this is true, but if Ye Xun doesn't do this, how can the grassland stop like this? Over the past few years, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded thousands of miles to the north. Others may be able to stare at each other and tell nonsense, but they can't.
"Father-in-law, we"
Before Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Xun waving his hand.
"This matter is over, to show you, is to let you have a number in your hearts, you remember, no matter when, you must be loyal to Your Majesty and the court"
"What about you, father-in-law?"
Both of them heard Ye Xun's off-string sound.
Ye Xun smiled but didn't answer them directly, his eyes turned to Sun Chuanting, and said: "Lord Sun's scholar also thinks more comprehensively than martial arts, but you have to remember that when dealing with people of different races, you first have to make them afraid of you, and then talk about other things."
Sun Chuanting knew that Ye Xun was blaming him for killing too few Horqin tribe troops, but this was all in the past, and he was concerned about Ye Xun's problem now.
Then he frowned and said, "Father-in-law really plans to retire?" At the age of my father-in-law, it's too early! ”
Qi Bingzhong snorted coldly and said: "It's not that those faint officials in the court always use the identity of the father-in-law as an excuse to suppress the father-in-law, can they?" If there is no father-in-law, Da Ming may be early."
"That's it!"
Ye Xun stopped Qi Bingzhong's complaints, and said: "In the past few years, your son-in-law has always been arranged to be His Majesty's bodyguard, you must know what to say and what not to say, you also have to think about future generations, when the time is right, go back to Beijing to retire!" ”
At the mention of his son, Qi Bingzhong lost his temper, so he had to sigh helplessly.
Ye Xun has good intentions for his son, and in recent years, he has successively let the next generation of some generals enter Beijing, and then follow his son, which is not only to cultivate power for his son, but also a means to control these important generals at the border.
After letting the two of them sit down, Ye Xun suddenly got up and bowed deeply to the two.
The two were startled, and said in unison: "What does father-in-law mean by this?" ”
"Both of them are smart people, don't hide from them, after leaving the court in the future, I plan to take my family to the West, this matter is still top secret, so I still need the support and confidentiality of the two in the future"
The transfer of Mongolian soldiers, the departure of Man Gui, and the transfer of some materials in the future, etc., these are all hidden from Sun Chuanting or Qi Bingzhong, so Ye Xun must say hello in advance.
After listening to Ye Xun's words, the two stood up involuntarily, in fact, there have long been rumors that Ye Xun wants to stay away from the Central Plains, but with Ye Xun's status in the Ming Dynasty, who can believe that Ye Xun will really leave?
But today's personal admission from Ye Xun had to shock the two.
"Don't persuade me, think about the fate of those powerful ministers in the past dynasties, you can understand why I left"
Ye Xun's smile was a little lonely, but this kind of loneliness was not something the two of them could understand.
Recalling Ye Xun's actions for more than a year, Sun Chuanting and Qi Bingzhong finally understood Ye Xun's good intentions.
I want Ye Xun to stay, but what excuse should I use? Birds hide their bows, rabbits die and dogs cook, this kind of thing has been staged too much in the past dynasties.
Ye Xun did not rebel against the court, and they can have today, which can be said to be completely thanks to Ye Xun, so in the face of Ye Xun's request, can they say no?
The three pairs of eyes were calmly facing each other, but everything was already said in their eyes, and the study was quiet.
"Father-in-law, Your Majesty's secret letter!"
The sound of the guard's announcement interrupted the silence in the study, but Ye Xun let out a long sigh
