Li Yu left Yongping and returned to his Qian'an camp, took the baggage in the camp and went straight to Luo Wenyu, and Erbeile Amin was generous, so that Tu Lichen sent more than a dozen carts of silver, estimated at 30,000 taels, this guy made a fortune this time. Li Yu has money in his hand, and he can't wait to sneak home, anyway, the work in the gate is done, and the other messy things will be thrown to Liu Shengren in Zunhua City.

It was not so easy for Li Yu to run, but after the Santun camp, he was blocked by Liu Zhilun, and he was accompanied by a dejected Bai Xianzhi next to him, and he couldn't hide, so Li Yu had to bite the bullet and go up.

"Hermes-epitek wants to go home, right? This is not good, you are the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, do you want to stay to listen to the will of the imperial court, or stay in Zunhua and wait for the reward of the imperial court," Liu Zhilun said with a little sarcasm, he and Li Yu, the rough men of the soldiers, had been staying for a long time, and his tone of voice was not as elegant as in the past, and then he pointed to the vehicle covered with rags and straw in the team, "This time I earned money again, don't you admit it, why don't you open it and take a look?" ”

Li Yu was speechless, Bai Xianzhi squeezed his eyebrows at him, Liu Zhilun continued without paying attention: "The war is over, the people of Zunhua are rushing to cultivate one after another, and they need money and grain relief, Vice General Li is now rich, just donate some of it, the official knows that you will not harm the people, but the money of corrupt officials is also the people's fat and people's ointment, and it is natural to use it for the people, pay for it!" ”

"Okay, count you ruthless, let's say, how much does it cost?" Li Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Liu Zhilun smiled and stretched out five fingers, Li Yu was startled and shouted: "Fifty thousand taels!" The adults sold me, you want my life. ”

"Look at you pitiful enough, a fixed price, five thousand taels!"

"Okay, I'll admit it, it's five thousand taels." Li Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Xianzhi's next words made him feel distressed - Bai Xianzhi said sadly: "Lord Liu also took five thousand taels from me. ”

Liu Zhilun took away 10,000 taels of silver, and had to go back to Zunhua with him, Li Yu felt uncomfortable, and blamed Bai Xianzhi for not hiding when he walked on the road, Bai Xianzhi also wanted to slap himself, he was really asking for hardship, Zunhua was fine, he went to Luo Wenyu, but he started the idea of pulling people's heads again, Liu Xingzuo saw the captives and went to Fengzhou, he Lao Bai could not lag behind, the Datong Ming army died nearly 200 people this time, this gap had to find a way to make up for it, Lao Bai set his sights on Liu Zhilun's bravery, Most of these guys are homeless beggars and idlers, and they just happened to make up the numbers, so he took Man Zhu and Hou Shijie from Luo Wenyu to Zunhua, and it was very smooth to pull people, and those who were willing to go to Fengzhou immediately paid five taels of silver for settling in, and after joining the Fengzhou Health Center, they would take care of food and housing, and they would introduce their wives in the future.

Liu Zhilun's life is also sad, Wang Yuanya was hanged by Liang Tingdong to take over as the governor of Zunhua, Liang Tingdong was soon promoted to the secretary of the military department, but Zunhua has been occupied by the Jin army, this errand has never been handed over, until now the governor of Zunhua is still nominally Liang Tingdong - Zunhua was beaten into a piece of erosion, no fool will jump out to take over this mess, Liu Zhilun had to clean up the mess by himself, Zunhua was in a depression after the war, and all industries were waiting to be prosperous, Liu Zhilun was worried about no money and no food, Bai Xianzhi ran headlong, Liu Zhilun unceremoniously knocked him 5,000 taels of silver, and by the way, he also saved hundreds of taels of silver for the dismissal of volunteers, and Bai Xianzhi couldn't even find a place to cry out for grievances.

Back in Zunhua, the more Li Yu thought about it, the more scared he became, and he didn't know how much money he was going to be extorted by Liu Zhilun if he continued to stay here, and he found Liu Zhilun and made a fuss about going home, Liu Zhilun of course disagreed, and taught Li Yu a lesson, you are the Ming army, then you must obey the edict of the imperial court, and the imperial court issued an edict to let you go, then you can go, otherwise it is disobedience.

"My lord, we are not the Ming army, you can go to the military department to check or go to Datong to check, there is no us in the Ming army system at all." Li Yu finally grabbed the handle.

Liu Zhilun was a little dumbfounded, these people from Fengzhou are really not soldiers in the Ming army, and even his righteousness and courage are not as good as him, and the righteousness and courage were recruited by the emperor's edict, but the Fengzhou army was coaxed and deceived by the governor of Xuanda and the governor of Datong.

"Your soldiers are not considered Ming troops, but you are always Ming troops, you can find the deputy general Jinglu in the military department," Liu Zhilun reacted quickly and said proudly, "Are you embarrassed to say that you went home to see your wife?" Daming has Ding worries to go home, but no wife has a child to go home. ”

Li Yu was anxious and made a fuss, why can my parents go home when they die, my wife can't go home to see if she gives birth, Liu Zhilun was annoyed by him, so he had to bargain with Li Yu, your soldiers can go back, but you must not run away, I can guarantee to accept your children as disciples, and in the future, they will be promoted and jinshi, and it will be too late for you to thank the official.

Li Yu had no choice but to agree, leaving the personal guard battalion, and the other two battalions were led by Bai Xianzhi, carrying the wounded and baggage out of Luowenyu and returning to Fengzhou along the Great Wall. Bai Xianzhi took the good news to Luo Wenyu, the Fengzhou army was thunderous, and after half a year of fighting, he could finally go home alive, and the Fengzhou army and Bai Xianzhila's strength set off that night.

The main force of the Fengzhou Army went home from the customs, but Li Yu had to stay, Liu Zhilun took Li Yu with him wherever he went in order to prevent Li Yu from running away secretly, Li Yu had to follow Liu Zhilun to handle official business during the day, and he had to study with Liu Zhilun with Na Mu'er at night - Na Mu'er took the initiative to stay this time, Li Yu looked at him with strange eyes, this guy won't become a nerd in the future, right? Liu Zhilun unexpectedly found that Li Yu was not a rough billet, this guy has actually read a lot of books, but he feels that it has nothing to do with him, and he forgot about it after reading, but this is also strange among the generals, Ma Fang and Li Yu of the Wanli Dynasty are in a similar situation, they are all living on the border, and they are loved by Yi chieftains, but when they become adults, they return to the Ming Dynasty anyway and become a generation of famous generals, Li Yu's foundation is much better than Ma Fang, who has not read books, and then he is more likely to become a great general of the Ming Dynasty Zhongxing under his personal teaching, The more Liu Zhilun thought about it, the more proud he became, and he grasped Li Yu more tightly, and after dinner every day, he called Li Yu and Na Mu'er to the study to study, and never got out of class until the dead of night.

When Liu Xingzuo arrived in Zunhua, he was surprised to find that Li Yu not only did not leave, but also his face was tired and his eyes were black, Li Yu told him very sadly that he did chores for Lord Liu as an entourage during the day, and he had to read with him at night, and he was not allowed to go back to sleep if he didn't read well, and he simply returned to the dark life in the Shenyang Library.

Liu Xingzuo comforted Li Yu very sympathetically, and Li Yu was also very curious, didn't Liu Xingzuo plan to go to Phi Dao after resigning, why did he come back in just a few days? Liu Xingzuo told Li Yu about his arrival at Shanhaiguan.

"Xingzhi they have caused a big disaster, I can leave Shanhaiguan is a great luck, people will not let me go to Phi Island, this day is sooner or later, when I killed Mao Wenlong, I saw Chen Jisheng, Shen Shikui, Kong Youde They howled and cried the sky, showing fierce eyes to us, Xingzhi They don't kill Chen Jisheng, Chen Jisheng They will also kill us, this revenge can no longer be solved, and someone will die in the hands of the other party in the future," Liu Xingzuo shook his head vigorously, sighed and continued, "I left a letter for Xingzhi when I left Shanhaiguan, I hope they will resign as soon as possible and go to Fengzhou to find me, but the current situation is difficult to say, the Ming officials and Mao Wenlong's old generals are already eyeing each other, I'm afraid it will not be easy for them to get out of Xingzhi, we have no foundation in the Ming Kingdom and can't help them, let's take one step at a time. ”

Li Yu also smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to get out now, it's going to be a few days after the battle, the court doesn't even let out a fart, and I don't know what the emperor and courtiers think." ”

Jingshi, the Ming court has been more lively recently, as soon as the Jin army came out, the courtiers immediately changed the appearance of pretending to be deaf and dumb a few days ago, and jumped out to point fingers, which also blamed Liu Zhilun and Zhang Chun for coming out to stir up the situation, breaking the tacit understanding formed by the court for hundreds of years, originally according to the ideas of the courtiers, the famous and old Sun Chengzong was brought out to take command, as long as there is patience to consume, Jianyi will always go back to the nest, at that time, the old grandson will report the list of requests for rewards, and everyone will add some private goods by the way, and they will be happy and save trouble. But the old grandson has hundreds of thousands of elites in the towns of the Ming Dynasty, and has the full support of the Ming court, consuming countless people and horses, countless grains and salaries, and only gnawed a small Luanzhou, that Liu Zhilun is damn not dead, he fought and won even a lot of battles alive, and finally recovered Zunhua, Zhang Chun is not like words, he does not honestly stay in Luanzhou to do chores, and the ghost is obsessed with his mind to make meritorious contributions, and he really got Qian'an and Yongping, which is too unfair, a loyal and expected old minister is not as good as a madman and a guy who has just been released from prison, The ministers of the Ming Dynasty will never agree, and the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty will never agree - at least Zu Dashou will not agree, he will run to receive Yongping with joy, and Zhang Chun will not let him enter the city.

The ministers analyzed to the emperor that Liu Zhilun was a nerd, and Zhang Chun's subordinates were all farmers and tenants playing with hoes, and it was impossible for these two people to defeat Jianyi. This is the proof, the problem must be in the group of Datong Yi soldiers, this group of people are good at riding and shooting no less than Jiannu, each has two horses, can make a stone bow, fight and don't know what to die, especially the Yi general Li Yu, I heard that this person is two feet tall, tiger back bear waist, hand to make a zhang eight spear, the head of the general in the million army such as probing the bag to take things, Zhang Chun himself also said in the chapter that this person had defeated 36 Jianyi generals under Yongping City, so that Jianyi hung the battle card, no one dared to go out of the city to fight, there are such fierce generals and strong soldiers, Any one of us can also make contributions to the imperial court, so Liu Zhilun and Zhang Chun are just lucky to meet the right person, and they can't really think that they are outstanding.

The emperor nodded again and again when he heard this: "No wonder Liu Zhilun said that Vice General Jinglu was Ma Fang of the dynasty, and he wanted me to keep this person in Beijing for training. ”

The ministers felt that it was wrong when they heard it, Wenchen still didn't discuss merit, and the generals of Luanzhou didn't discuss merit, why let a general take the lead, everyone had to make trouble, this matter still had to be according to the rules, they immediately changed their words again, although the generals were brave, but they were just the courage of Lu Bu and Ma Chao, and Wenchen still had to make up their minds in case of trouble, so Liu Zhilun and Zhang Chun still had some credit, and the ancestors of our dynasty, Ma Shilong, as well as You Shilu who supervised the war in Luanzhou, Huang Long and others, are all brave generals, If they hadn't obeyed the will of the imperial court and went to Luanzhou, but went to Zunhua, Yongping, and Qian'an, maybe the three cities would have been recovered long ago, and the luck of Deputy General Jingyu was indeed too good.

The emperor frowned when he heard this, and he looked a little impatient, and the first assistant Cheng Jiming saw that the emperor's face was wrong, and turned over the lawsuit a few days ago: "After all, Deputy General Jingyu is a general, and the people are capricious and secretive. ”

The emperor said dissatisfiedly: "But Yang Zhaoji of the Santun camp did not report the matter, but submitted a letter to the Ministry of War to praise the deputy general Jinglu for his great contribution in the first battle of Luanxi, I also heard that the deputy general Jinglu is the son of the Yulin army, his father died for the country with the late general soldier Jun Song in the battle of Salhu, and his brother died in the battle of Futuguan in Chongqing in the crusade against the Shuixi thieves, he himself was also from the army since he was a child to Liaodong to conquer the east, unfortunately exiled in Liaodong, and then sought the opportunity to escape back to my Ming homeland to serve in the army again, which is similar to the experience of the famous general Ma Fang of my dynasty, so loyal and good, Da Ming Chizi, why does Aiqing call it Yiren! ”

"Your Majesty is generous and merciful, and the Ming Dynasty is fortunate, but the deputy general Jingyu has lived in the land of barbarians for a long time, and his behavior will be no different from that of barbarians. The minister has always wondered that Sun Ge's old 200,000 troops could not recapture Luanzhou in one fell swoop, but he relied on more than 1,000 horsemen and some people to help the war, he was able to take Zunhua, Qian'an and Yongping three cities in a row. Cheng Jiming said without stopping.

Some time ago, Liu Zeqing, who was stationed in the Santun camp, was looking for trouble, he first begged Yang Zhaoji to avenge him, but Yang Zhaoji was already dissatisfied with his escape from the battle and the robbery of the arsons, and when he saw that he was beaten and scolded him for deserving it, he ignored it at all. He also injured the generals of the Ming army who made meritorious contributions, and the imperial history also impeached Liu Zhilun and Li Yu on this basis, and the imperial court was greatly shocked by this and ordered Liu Zhilun to defend himself, and Liu Zhilun argued that the deputy general of Jinglu was repeatedly defeated and beheaded countless Jianyi, so how could he secretly communicate with Jianyi? How can you care about how many heads there are? Fengzhou Iron Cavalry killed the White Lotus Sect bandits who were mixed in the Ming army and harmed the people, and the Shandong staff general shielded the evil bandits who killed and robbed the people, only to be injured by the Iron Cavalry, purely because of his own fault, Liu Zhilun also attached the seized evil books, evil weapons, and the testimony of the local gentry and the common people to the Beijing Division, involving Jiannu and the White Lotus Sect The case was complicated, and the Criminal Department immediately intervened, but then Li Yu's good news of conquering Zunhua came, and the statement that he colluded with Jiannu became nonsense. The officials investigating the case had a headache, Li Yu's matter was clearly explained, but Liu Zeqing's involvement with the White Lotus Sect was not clear, and if he investigated it, he would make a big case that offended people, and finally pushed the case to the military department, and the military department simply made it muddy, promoted Liu Zeqing to deputy general, and Li Yu was demoted to a general, and other things were over, this case was handled inexplicably, even the emperor felt unreasonable, and the cabinet's explanation was that it was not easy for Liu Zeqing to guard the Santun camp, and he would be appeased by a deputy general when he was beaten, and the deputy general Jinglu was a deputy general at a young age. How can he increase his official position in the future, besides, he has killed so many officers and soldiers, are they all White Lotus Sect bandits? So it is necessary to give some punishment, as for the matter of the two secretly communicating with Jiannu or the White Lotus Sect, they will not be asked if there is no evidence, the emperor can't cry or laugh when he hears it, Li Yu not only did not reward him for recovering Zunhua, but also demoted him to a level because of nothing, and it was a joke to say it, so he sent out the edict to Liu Zeqing to add an official, but the edict of demotion to Li Yu was not issued.

The emperor became more and more dissatisfied with Cheng Ji's life, and said with a sneer: "Aiqing thinks that I don't know anything about things outside the court, and I can't understand things? I know everything, I understand everything, since the entry of the deputy general Jingnu, he has won a lot of battles and won a lot, all the generals have taken away a lot of heads from him, and the officials and soldiers have also killed and looted a lot of my people wherever they went. ”

Cheng Ji's face was pale and he didn't dare to say any more, the emperor no longer paid attention to him, he felt more and more unbearable to these former cabinet ministers, in fact, they did nothing except to fight Wei Zhongxian's rebellion against the party, but also became a stumbling block to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't collect the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't deal with the Jianyi outside the Guan, they had nothing to do about the people in the northwest, and even the emperor was against corruption and clean government. One thousand taels of silver to the hands of the merchant is only three or four hundred taels, such an obvious case, sent to investigate the case of the imperial history and the Ministry of Industry to the matter and dare to cover up, the emperor was angry and sent these two guys to prison, Qian Longxi, Han Yi, Li Biao three scholars actually interceded together, saying that this is the original precedent, must be slowly plotted, and behind the back of the nonsense that the emperor is young and vain, seeking treatment, the former scholar Liu Hongxun is even more bold, even accepted bribes to instruct people to tamper with the edict, and then died and did not admit it, These people are all righteous men and gentlemen who enjoy a clear reputation in Shilin, but they dare to treat the government as a child's play, and the emperor unceremoniously drove Qian Longxi, Han Yi and Li Biao back to their hometown, and that Liu Hongxun was the most hateful, and he was directly sent to Daizhou to fill the army.

The emperor set his sights on the new cabinet Zhou Yanru, He Ruzhong, and Qian Xiangkun, this is his personal promotion of cabinet ministers, especially Zhou Yanru, who is talented, only thirty-six years old this year, I hope they will not disappoint.
