Naturalization, Li Yu lay in a bedroom in the Silver Buddha Temple, carefully looking at the letter sent by Tiancong Khan, Sibeile's writing is still not very good, even the article is in the vernacular, and the letter is full of pride - Erlu, I heard that you were injured, this should be the second time, don't be reckless in the future, save me from worrying about you. I'm going back to Liaodong soon, I'll take the Chahar people away, my son can't control his minions, I'll be Ama to take care of it for you, but don't worry, I won't treat them badly. I won't give it to you outside the Xuanfu border, I left Yue Tuo and Chang Shu behind, lest you beat the idea of Omulun, if you want the territory, it's okay to say, come to Shengjing as soon as possible, you and Haoge are my sons, and my Dajin Kingdom is indispensable to your share. You usually still have to read more, Han people's books are still very reasonable, such as "The Book of Filial Piety", reading can understand etiquette and righteousness, don't always mix with horse thieves and profiteers, you have to listen to me, don't be confused.

"Yuzi, what are you laughing at?" The Gurji Lama, who was reciting the scriptures on the side, opened his eyes, Li Yu handed him the letter casually, and the Gyirji Lama also smiled after reading it, "The Jin army is finally going to withdraw, and the writing of the Jin Khan is also vulgar, but there is kindness between the lines, and those who don't know think he is a good person." ”

"Sibeile is indeed a good person, but it's a pity that all the authority of people changes as soon as they touch their power," Li Yu smiled bitterly and lay down again, and asked casually, "How is the governor?" ”

"It's quiet now, and I'm writing a recital in the next room." The Lama laughed.

When Li Yu returned to naturalization from Yanghe, the anti-Ming riots had basically subsided, and the Qierji Lama played a key role - the old man could not bear the mob disorderly and smashed, and walked out of the Silver Buddha Temple to speak out for the unity of the people of Fengzhou, and held a series of lectures in the square, calling on the people to follow the Buddhism, avoid urgency and avoid irritation, accumulate good karma, do not use violence to counter violence, let alone hurt compatriots, the people's mood gradually stabilized, Li Yu came back and assured the people that the Ming court must admit its mistake and apologize, and compensate the dead and wounded, The two leaders of Toyosu came forward one after another, and Toyoshu quickly regained its calm.

However, there was trouble in Li Yu's family, Su Tai didn't want to arrange a separate house for their mother and son, and had to move into Li Yu's house, and Wulan and Wu Langha inexplicably agreed. The adults are at peace with each other, but the children are falling out. Li Jin and Li Meng fought over toys, of course Kong Guoer had to stand up for Li Meng, but Li Jin also had the support of Li Dingguo and Ma Bao, and a group of children mingled in the backyard. Li Yu got angry, grabbed Li Jin and beat him firmly, this time Wulan stopped doing it again, the family was noisy, but Wu Langha and Su Tai were busy doing business, and they didn't care about the family's affairs at all. Li Yu couldn't get angry, so he simply drove Kong Guoer and Li Dingguo and his gang to the Barbarian Mountain, and out of sight, he ran to the Qiuerji Lama to recuperate.

Li Yu lived in the Silver Buddha Temple, and also brought Liu Zhilun here, the highest official of the imperial court in Fengzhou is the master, and it is safest to stay by his side under the current circumstances. Liu Zhilun stayed by Li Yu's side, and naturally knew about the peace talks between Fengzhou and Jinguo, the old man was trembling with anger, pointing at Li Yu's nose and scolding Shudian for forgetting his ancestors and recognizing the thief as his father, Li Yu was scolded and replied, Sibeiler and I already have a father-son relationship, kneeling under his knees and shouting Daddy, I am willing, kneel down to the wasted emperor of your Ming Kingdom, I really feel ashamed. Liu Zhilun didn't speak anymore, he went back to his house and hanged himself, fortunately he found it early and rescued it, and then the Silver Buddha Temple was also messed up, first the big and small lamas in the temple persuaded him, and then Ortai, Li Fugui, and Jin Sheng also heard the news and ran, and comforted him all day, Liu Zhilun finally dispelled the idea of seeking death - fortunately, he couldn't understand the Zhushen text on the text of the peace treaty, and only knew a little fur, otherwise it was really only death.

"Let him do as he pleases, let the court know that it is better for us to negotiate peace with the Jin State." Li Yu closed his eyes, the master is a good person, but I don't know the hardships of being in charge, this year's drought and war have made Fengzhou dying, and if it continues to fight, it may collapse, and the Jin army must be allowed to withdraw as soon as possible, signing a peace treaty in the name of father and son is not a matter at all, it is better for the Jin army to take away the nobles of Chahar, even if they occupy the border of Xuanfu, they must be put for a while, time is too precious for Fengzhou.

"Master, it's time for you to drink the medicine." Wang Ershun tiptoed in with a bowl of soup and medicine, and the young people of Rabudu's gang of Beitunzi all went to the martial arts camp, but this guy was too poor at bowing and horses, so he could only stay and do chores.

"Ershun, how many times have I told you, don't call me master," Li Yu took the medicine very dissatisfied, thought about it and said, "You are a little worse at being a soldier, so you should go home and learn business with your wife, so you have the ability to settle down and start a business." ”

"Master, no, the Great Commander, the two ladies have come to urge a few times, the house is already clean, you better go home to recuperate." Wang Ershun hesitated for a while and said.

"Forget it, you go back first, I'll stay here for a few more days, and there are some things to think about." Li Yu drank the medicine and waved his hand to let Wang Ershun retreat.

The room was calm again, and amid the smoke of cigarettes, Lama Qiuerji continued to recite his scriptures silently, and Li Yu's mind was tumbling - this level has passed for the time being, what should I do next? Why hasn't the imperial court reacted yet?

The imperial court has been paying attention to the war situation in Datong and Xuanfu, and the courtiers sincerely hope that the good news can come as soon as possible, and it is too important for the Ming Dynasty to solve the external troubles once and for all. But the Ming Dynasty was unlucky, not only did not seize the golden opportunity, but staged a tragedy of defeat, the court was then in chaos, the naturalized governor reported the rebellion of Datong Town, and attacked the naturalized army in sight, causing thousands of loyal and brave soldiers to be killed and wounded, so that the Jin army took advantage of the chaos to escape, which is a great crime; The governor of Xuanda and the governor of Datong reported that the town of naturalization and the Jin army joined forces to flank the Datong army, the Datong army was unable to resist, Yanghe and Youyulinwei were seized by the naturalized army, and the side walls near the fort of victory and the fort of killing the tiger's mouth were also demolished. The governor of Xuanfu replied in shame, the Ming army was raided by the Jin army and traitors, and the officials and troops of Xuanfu, Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan were forced to retreat.

After a short silence, the courtiers went crazy, and criticized and wantonly insulted the eastern and northern captives, and unanimously advocated immediate fund-raising and recruiting troops to crusade against the rebellion, and some people also jumped out and asked the emperor to issue internal funds to make up for the arrears of the past years to boost morale, and the emperor turned around and left as soon as he heard it, and the cabinet began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the courtiers were noisy enough to consciously close their stinky mouths, and the broken things of Datong and Xuanfu were thrown aside.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, the bad luck of the Ming Dynasty has not yet ended, Liu Zhilun's petition for guilt has been neglected, and the courtiers were stunned - Liu Zhilun reprimanded the traitorous party in the DPRK for betraying the Ming Dynasty and framing Zhongliang, the naturalized army has the intention to serve the country, but there is no food supply, and there is no soldier to help the war, but after the tragic victory, it was attacked by a sneak attack, the naturalized general soldier was wounded, and sent someone to negotiate peace with the Dongyu in anger, although the two sides have not formed an alliance, but the naturalized general soldier has been commensurate with the father and son of the chieftain, obviously has the intention of self-preservation, Liu Zhilun swore to the sky in the song, This time it is indeed the imperial court that is defeated by naturalization, more than 5,000 soldiers died in Yanghe World War, naturalized villages and villages are mourned, every household wears filial piety, everyone regrets it, but serving the imperial court but was killed, is there still justice in the Ming Dynasty? He Liu Zhilun has no shame to face the father and elder of Fengzhou, the court might as well dismiss him from his post and discuss the crime, but please don't make the people sad anymore, the hard work is the opposite, once there is a late regret!

Emperor Daming reacted first, and urgently convened a meeting of ministers of the cabinet and various ministries to discuss how to deal with this big trouble, but the ministers are smart, they can open their mouths casually when they scold, and they will never say much when dealing with problems.

"The Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and it has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, courtesy and righteousness, such a treacherous thing, I have never heard of it, and I am very shocked, can the cabinet know about it?" The emperor spoke first, but he was a little weak and secretly glanced at Wen Tiren.

"The cabinet has not heard of this matter, and is also shocked, the minister has checked the edict and the text of the record, and His Majesty and the cabinet obviously have no knowledge of this, His Majesty does not know, and the cabinet does not know, there must be someone secretly doing it, can the household department and the military department know about it?" Wen Tiren hurriedly took out the cabinet and helped the emperor testify by the way.

"The household department only raises food and salary, does not do military affairs, and the minister admits that he has never paid food and salary to the naturalization town, because of the drought in the north this year, the taxes and additional payments cannot make ends meet, and the minister can only make up for the officials and troops in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan first, and the two towns of Datong and naturalization will make up later, and the household department does not know anything else." Hou Sui replied calmly.

"The Ministry of War doesn't know either," Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, made a report, and then added, "The Ministry of War will never instigate the officers and soldiers to kill each other, and the next documents are all recorded and checked, and the minister suspects that this matter is caused by the ruffians and scoundrels in the army fighting for the head and property, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court, and the naturalized governor is alarmist." ”

Zhang Fengyi's words woke everyone up, and the court immediately became active, unanimously concluded that this bloody conflict was caused by ruffians and scoundrels, and it was enough to deal with a few guerrillas and capitalists who were not strict in governing the army. Privately demolishing the side wall for dozens of miles, since then the door of the same line has been wide open, which is the destruction of our country's door; Not counting selfishness and Dongyu, and shamelessly admitting a thief as a father, it is simply a naked betrayal, and this guy is more than enough for Ling Chi.

found the reason, unified the understanding, the emperor left a few ministers, waved his hand to let the other ministers retreat - how can things be so simple, cleaning up some small people can only fool the public opinion of the world, and scare the common people, but the other party is carrying a knife and pulling his accomplices to reason, and he can't pass the test if he doesn't do something, but some things are not easy to say in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, so it's better to pull the important people here, close the door and discuss quietly.

"Although the naturalized general soldier has grievances, he has no court and acts recklessly, and it is another bow to go on like this, you Aiqing, do you have a decision?" The emperor said with a gloomy face.

The ministers looked at each other, and they didn't open their mouths for a long time, the current Ming Dynasty is far less powerful than the Wanli Dynasty, and today's Li Yu's strength is far better than Bibai, and the sneak attack is not successful, what are the chances of winning a hard fight? The young emperor was a little impulsive.

"The minister also thinks that the naturalized general army has been unruly for a long time, and not severely punished is not enough to show my great prestige, but this matter must be considered in the long run, the situation of the war is unpredictable, Datong and Xuanfu will inevitably be involved in the war, so Gyeonggi must be strictly guarded, Juyong Pass, Yanmen Pass, and Bauhinia Pass must have strong troops to hold on, and SX can not be missed, and the minister has to consult with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, and figure out where to transfer some money and food, officials and troops to Ningwu Pass - the border wall fortress of the Inner Great Wall, and the large and small guns seem to have been taken care of for hundreds of years." Wen Tiren seemed to be ready to give up Datong and Xuanfu as soon as he opened his mouth, but this was the truth, and the other ministers had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you want to crusade against naturalization, recruiting troops, repairing cities, and casting cannons are indispensable, but this money may be barely enough to increase the northern salary." Wu Zongda then said.

Wang Yingxiong, Qian Shisheng, and He Wuyu immediately objected, and the addition of the Liao Salary has already caused a big mess in the world, and the additional dispatch of the North Salary will not be even more important for the officials to force the people to rebel, Wen Tiren and Wu Zongda defended very aggrievedly, they also know the evil consequences of the additional faction, but how to crusade against naturalization otherwise.

"In this case, it is better to release the naturalized general soldier for the time being, appease him first, and then slowly try to figure it out later." Wang Yingxiong is a straight man, and he shouted when he opened his mouth.

"In this way, Wang Aiqing advocates the implementation of a policy for naturalization?" The emperor immediately followed Wang Yingxiong's words and asked, Wang Yingxiong said that he had to nod his head, Wen Tiren and Wu Zongda always looked at the emperor's face and acted, and immediately agreed.

"What do Qian Aiqing and He Aiqing think?" The emperor set his sights on Qian Shisheng and He Wuyu again, and the two of them were willing to admit their accounts for a long time.

"Since you all agree to the policy, then I will follow the cabinet of ministers," the emperor finally forced the cabinet to express his attitude, feeling a little proud, but quickly sank his face and said, "The governor of Xuanda and SX Datong, the governor of the three towns of Xuanfu, the general army was derelict in his duties, the enemy was plundered, and the army was not strict and cruel to the friendly army, all of them were dismissed from their posts, and the three towns were not effective in monitoring the internal officials and supervising the army, and they were punished in the palace. ”

The ministers were a little dumbfounded, it turned out that the emperor had already planned, and none of the governors and general soldiers in the three towns of Xuanda had run away, and they didn't give the courtiers a chance to intercede for the same party at all, the emperor grew up, and he became more and more scheming, he knew everything, but he didn't touch anything, and at the end he took out their words, washed himself clean, and went back to wait for the scolding of the Qinglius. Wen Tiren and Wu Zongda laughed secretly in their hearts, the courtiers were still busy plotting against others, they had already arranged the way back, the emperor, the inner court, and the naturalization had all been greeted by each other, no matter whether the matter was successful or bad, they would not be unlucky.

"The minister has objections, SX Governor Xu Dingchen is diligent in the king's affairs, why is he guilty? Naturalized Governor Liu Zhilun has no way to do it, why did he increase his ranks? Wang Yingxiong was not convinced.

"Xu Dingchen has been governor SX for two years, and he has achieved nothing to suppress the thieves and the people, and he deserves to be punished, Liu Zhilun has no way to do it, who can you recommend to restrain the naturalized general soldiers?" The emperor replied coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.

"The governor and chief soldier of the three towns of Xuanda are serving another pot, who is willing to jump into the fire pit now?" Qian Shisheng cried out with a sad face.

Wen Tiren waved his hand with a smile and said, "Your Majesty naturally has a plan, we just need to ask the officials to make recommendations according to the program." ”

A few days later, a middle-aged official came from Yongping, and as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he was introduced into the palace by internal officials - Yang Sichang, the governor of Shanyong urgently summoned by the emperor, arrived, and was immediately summoned to the platform for an audience and questioning.

"Aiqing is exempt, you are Yang Sichang, I have heard of you for a long time, and I asked my father to make a scapegoat, this is filial piety, the governor of Shanhaiguan and Yongping patrol the border wall everywhere to rectify military affairs, this is loyalty, loyal ministers and filial sons should be the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The emperor looked at the man in front of him affectionately, this person had a white face and a thin body, long flowing hair, and a sparkle in his eyes, he should be a shrewd and capable man.

"The minister's father and son have received a deep grace from the saint, and dare not serve the country, and the minister dares to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter of summoning the minister? If Your Majesty sends him, the ministers will not hesitate to do so. Yang Sichang looked at the emperor gratefully - his father, the former governor of the trilateral government, Yang He, failed to deal with the death penalty, he played the scapegoat three times, and his father was sentenced to be sent to Yuanzhou by the grace of the saints.

"Lingzun's matter, Aiqing must be more considerate of me, Daming's internal and external troubles, everything is waiting to be enjoyed, and it is difficult for me! However, Ling Zun said that the Ming Dynasty should cultivate vitality, I still remember," the emperor nodded, waved his hand and said, "I trust your father and son, I have read all your songs, pragmatic, concise, and to the point. ”

Yang Sichang was a little excited, and said solemnly with his sleeves: "The minister thinks that the cultivation of vitality should first have harmony, and only with harmony can we cultivate vitality." Nowadays, the rogue is raging in the erosive place, and the appeasement is no longer enough to remove the harm, if you want to calm the world, you must exterminate the rogue bandit, but the greed of the foreign coward is difficult to shake our country's capital, but the harm of scabies, when the first and then Xu Tu, the internal and external troubles choose one of the first to get rid of it, and then try to do the other, this is said to be the outside must first settle the inside. ”

"The food and salary are insufficient, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, what should I do?"

"The Ming Dynasty does not worry about money and food, and trapped in the lack of national use, one of them should be levyed, it is better to suffer for a while than to suffer forever, Liao salary is only one cent and two cents of silver per mu, the burden of the people is not heavy, the emphasis is on the unclear governance of the officials, as long as Your Majesty vigorously purge the greedy ink, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort; Second, when the source is open, some of the Ming Dynasty are rich businessmen, they drink the blood of the Ming Dynasty to fatten themselves, and the benefits of the mountains and seas should be used for the state, why can't the imperial court do business and open mines to increase the country? ”

"Only with harmony can we nourish vitality, the benefits of mountains and seas should be used by the country, Aiqing is reasonable, but the government and the opposition may be difficult to accept for a while, Rong Zhen will think about it again." The Emperor kept nodding his head, feeling more and more that this was the person he was looking for.

The next day, the imperial court issued an order to add Yang Sichang's military department to the right attendant Lang rank of governor Xuanda SX naturalized the military affairs of the four towns.
