vs 36 Receiving gifts
Shuerhaqi and Chu Ying can't actually say that they have much fault, but they are too strong, so strong that they may threaten the authority and interests of others, and they all have to die. The death of Shuerhaqi and Chu Ying left a lesson, whoever has too much authority will not end well, Da Belle Daishan learned this lesson after succeeding as the prince, honestly holding his tail and behaving a man, and at the same time trying every possible way to get rid of the title of the prince, he did not dare to bully others, but he could bully his own family, treat Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo brothers badly, rob Yue Tuo's homestead, crying and shouting to kill Shuo Tuo, in fact, he was defiling himself, his goal was achieved, and finally let the Great Khan abolish his crown prince, for which he also killed his successor Fujin, and now he ******** He carefully defended the interests of his two red flags, and had no interest in the throne. And the second Bel Amin is the second son of the second king Shulhaqi, when the Great Khan imprisoned the second king, he wanted to kill him, fortunately someone interceded for him, so he saved a life, although later he also became one of the four great beylers, but the Khan has nothing to do with him at all. The mother concubine Fucha of the three Beyler Mang Gurtai was abolished for her private possession, which has already revealed a signal, the Great Khan hopes that Mang Gurtai is out, otherwise there is no need to make up such a ridiculous charge to divorce his wife, Mang Gurtai knows this, and he only has twenty-one Niu Lu, and his strength is relatively weak, so his mind is also on his blue flag.
The other most likely heir to the Khan throne is the Four Beylers, in fact, the Great Khan planned to let the Four Beylers succeed after the Great Belle abolished the crown prince, and the four Beylers' mothers died early, when the Four Beylers were only eleven years old, almost taught by the Great Khan, the Great Khan also had high hopes for him, but the people were not as good as the sky, and it was Abahai who took over the Fucha clan as the concubine, and this woman was too powerful, of course she hoped that her brother would take over the Khan's throne, so the struggle between the Four Beylers and Abahai began, and this battle was even more bloody, First of all, the four Baylors united with other Baylors, and forced the Great Khan to drive away the concubine with the great Baylor having a personal affair with the concubine, but after the concubine left, the power struggle became even more intense, and the four Baylors also had the same problems as Shuerhaqi and Chu Ying, his authority rose too fast, and the white flag was only eighteen Niu Lu, which was only stronger than the white flag, but his henchmen were all over the government and the opposition, and the whole country called him "wise and brave", so the other big Baylors were forced to quickly merge with the concubine due to the situation, and the Great Khan also cleverly chose the art of balance and ceremoniously took back the concubine, Changed the governance of the four major Baylors to the Eight Baylor Politics - in fact, it was the Eight Banners Parliament, and there were more than eight Baylor Parliamentary Governments, and the three elder brothers of the concubine were all stuffed into it, and at the same time, the forces of the Four Baylors were ruthlessly suppressed.
The Great Khan hoped that after his death, the republic of the Eight Banners would be implemented, and that the various banners would be relatively balanced, and he once said, "Those who succeed me as kings should not be allowed to do so. Not only that, but the Great Khan was afraid that his children and grandchildren would kill each other after his death, so in the first month of the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, he led all the Belles to burn incense and swear to the gods of heaven and earth: "Even if there are bad people among my descendants, the heavens can destroy them, and do not order them to be tortured and injured, so as to start the killing." If there is a cruel person who does not wait for the punishment of heaven, but has the idea of fighting, will heaven and earth not know about it? If so, they should also be taken away. If there is a troublemaker among the Kundi, he knows it and does not harm him, and he has the righteousness of etiquette to guide him to be stubborn. If it is like this, heaven and earth will bless it, and it will be extended for generations to come. And those who pray, henceforth, wish to God not to blame the past, but to learn from the future. ”
Kur looked at Li Yu, who was sweating, and said: "You are on an errand beside the Great Khan, you must remember that the affairs of the emperor's family have always been bloody, and you must not be involved, no matter how good they are to you, they will turn their faces." ”
Li Yu couldn't help but say: "Then why did the Great Khan set up a prince earlier, so as to save everyone from thinking nonsense and causing trouble." ”
Dahai said: "We can't guess the emperor's thoughts, I think the Great Khan himself can't make up his mind, the big Belle of the four major Baylors will never come out of this, Amin and Mang Gurtai have long been out, the four Baylors are the most likely, but the three elder brothers of the concubine are strong, Azig is in charge of the yellow flag, this is the first flag of the Eight Banners, and the Great Khan's flag is inlaid with the yellow flag, but the Great Khan doesn't seem to like Azig, and Dolgon has not yet taken charge of a flag - the matter of the white flag has not been finalized, but it is the young Duoduo who is the most favored, The Zhenghuang Banner in charge of the forty-five Niu Lu, if the Great Khan wants him to take over, then the twenty Niu Lu with the Yellow Flag are also his, and now it seems that the Great Khan in the future will be him, I am afraid that it will be too late, and Duoduo Belle is still too young. ”
"In fact, who wants to be the Great Khan is the key to our two red flags, there are twenty-five Niu Lu in the red flag, and there are twenty-six Niu Lu in the red flag, Da Baylor is very smart, first take himself out of the matter, and then use two red flags and fifty-one Niu Lu to suppress the forces of all parties without chaos, Da Baylor is all for my eight banners to survive steadily, this is to seek the country and loyalty!" Kul pestered Dahai and said, "Erlu, we don't know what the Great Khan's idea is to beat you, Sibeile and the concubine are very good to you, and you have a bit of brotherhood with Hauge and Duoduo, but the master told you that once it comes to the power struggle, no one will talk to you, so no matter who pulls you, you don't want to fall into it." ”
Li Yu's mind was all messed up, and he had to go back and figure it out, at this time Aha called everyone to eat, Li Yu followed Kurtang and Dahai into the main hall in a drowsy manner, and Sakhalian and Liu Xingzuo were already waiting.
Sakhalian looked at Li Yu, who was immersed in eating, pursed his lips and smiled and handed him a piece of yellow paper: "This is sent by Shuoto, take a look, do you know what's going on?" When they all looked out, they couldn't help laughing, and Sakhalian pointed at them and said, "Don't laugh, when you go home, everyone will have a copy, my brother Shuotuo said, they have painted hundreds of copies, and no one can hide from them, even the Great Khan and the Great Concubine have to pay for it." ”
Kurtang immediately told everyone that Li Yu was so scared by Erniu that he didn't dare to go home, and then said with a smile: "This must be the idea of Erniu's money-obsessed girl, Shuotuo likes to join in the fun, and he must be involved." ”
Liu Xingzuo said: "Actually, Erlu moved into a new house, and those of us who are masters and brothers should also help, but I'm afraid this meeting is too big, I'm afraid someone will sue, let's not show up, so as not to provoke right and wrong, just send Aha to give a gift tomorrow." ”
Sakhalian nodded: "That's it, Erlu is not very old, but he has some power vaguely, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for him to go on like this." ”
Li Yu's face was flushed, he couldn't say a word, and he couldn't wait to find a crack and go underground.
When Li Yu went home, it was already late, Erniu had already tossed enough to go home, Hadari had already fallen asleep, Meng Ke saw that he was finally back, and proudly told the day's events, and praised Erniu, this is much better than him being a thief, as long as his skin is thick enough, he can easily make a lot of money, and when he thinks that he can count the money tomorrow, he can't sleep happily.
Li Yu ignored him, he lay on the kang and thought about his thoughts, today's words of Kurtang and Dahai made his mind very messy, it seems that he can't stay here, it's time to leave. Looking at Meng Ke's eyebrows, Li Yu asked coldly, "If I want to leave here, are you willing?" If you think about it, you can stay if you want. ”
Meng Ke was stunned for a while, and it took a while to react: "What you said is true, you want to leave when the day is getting better?" Don't want this house and Tukso? ”
"Don't do it, they just use me as a knife, the more people I kill, the happier they are, the property they give me doesn't smell bloody, I don't force you, it's up to you what you want to do, don't talk to Hadari first, and tell him later."
"And where are we going?"
"I don't know, if you don't fight, you'll go."
Meng Ke smiled: "What a big deal should I do, isn't it just to leave this den of thieves, we are brothers, if you want to go, you think I like here, these guys kill and rob more than our gang of thieves, and they are also serious, don't I just sell some tobacco and gamble a few cards, there are always people staring at me, if it weren't for your face, I would have been locked up, how do you say we go." ”
"How do I know, I can only act when I see the opportunity, and I can't let out the slightest rumor."
The two discussed for a while, Meng Ke planned to go out of the city these days to explore the road first, and then secretly prepare some food and horse food, and leave as soon as the time came. Li Yu told Meng Ke what he heard in Sakhalian Mansion again, and Meng Ke was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, this place is too dangerous, it is better to leave early, so as not to lose his life in vain.
Early the next morning, Erniu came again, Li Yu knew that he couldn't hide today, so he had to bite the bullet, and then worship these little brothers, as well as Meng Ke's gang of righteous fox friends and dog friends to help, the yard immediately became lively, Erniu yesterday commanded Lao Wang, Lao Zhao and the two families to clean the yard and room, and tried to get some meat and food, everything that should be prepared is ready, Erniu gave an order, and the whole family was busy in an orderly manner, while lighting a fire to cook, while preparing to entertain guests.
Erniu wore a red silk robe today, her hair was braided neatly, and a flower was inserted in her sideburns, she looked particularly delicate, and she was busy in the yard, Li Yu was dizzy when she saw her, this girl really regarded this place as her own home, and secretly scolded Abatai in her heart that she didn't care about the two of them, it seems that she has to leave early if she wants to leave, or this girl is a trouble.
The guests arrived one after another, Shuotuo and Zhaisang Gu came the earliest, they liked to mix everywhere, today they also brought a group of Kha, as soon as they arrived at the door, they blew suona, a few people got a few three-eyed guns out of nowhere and put them in front of the sky, Li Yu's house was immediately outside the black smoke miasma, which frightened Li Yu, these guys have always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and today they plan to harm me, fortunately, Haoge took Qi Chongge with him, so that he could stop the farce of Shuotuo and Zhai Sanggu.
What Li Yu didn't expect was that there were a large number of women who also joined in the fun, the identities of these women were not ordinary, they were all Fujin and Gege from various provinces, and the leader was Lao Khan's Sange Ge Mang Guji, as soon as they came, they first surrounded Li Yu's head and argued, and when Li Yu was tossed enough, they pulled the second girl to ask long and short questions, their eyes stared at her stomach vigorously, and they were willing to leave after being disappointed, so they would not stay to eat Li Yu's meal.
The identity of the guests who came was not high, in addition to Haoge, Shuotuo and Jaisangu who were in the field, the higher official positions were the Bayala officers of Tulai, Yangshan, and Baige, as well as several guards such as Subai and Asari, they were too close to Li Yu, and they couldn't help but give face, Erniu's two brothers-in-law Li Yongfang and Ying Erdai were all here, and the sister-in-law couldn't help but give face, not to mention that Li Yu was very likely to become a brother-in-law with them, this relationship couldn't help but pull, Ying Erdai and Li Yu talked very speculatively, this person can fight and can read, It is a rare civil and military balance in Zhushen, Li Yongfang is a little embarrassed, he has the highest status as a general soldier, but Zhushen who came ignored him, sat for a while and left his son Yingge, and left by himself.
Fan Wencheng and these Han officials also came, and these people couldn't give away good things, usually just some dishes, chopsticks and plates, and left after giving gifts, Li Yu didn't want to go, and asked them to stay for dinner, but when they saw Zhushen in the courtyard, they didn't dare to stay for a long time. Like the iron spear, these soldiers came the most, the two yellow flags, the two white flags and Li Yu touched the side almost all came, these people were the happiest, the iron spear said, in the past in Fei Ala and Hetuala, everyone often gathered when they had something to do, the days were lively, and it was not good to enter Liaodong, there were more and more rules, and the flags did not dare to move around casually, and friends were also estranged, Li Yu picked this head and called everyone to come to the scene, they were all happy in their hearts, and it didn't matter if they wanted to blame it, They are just a group of soldiers, what is there to be afraid of, Li Yu said that it was too late, or the bull's eye would definitely come from Tieling when he heard the news.
As soon as there are many people, it will be troublesome, Li Yu's yard is not big, it is full of two hundred people, Hadari and a few children are running around in the yard and playing crazy, the second girl only collects money and property, and is so happy that she can't keep her mouth shut, and the others don't care about it, Meng Ke was taken to gamble a few by Shuotuo and Zaisanggula, and the rest of Lao Wang and Lao Zhao are all from the countryside, who have seen this meeting, they have long been at a loss, fortunately, Qi Chongge brought by Haoge has experience, and he is busy with a group of Aha before and after, and finally coped with this meal.
There was a mess during the meal, and a few Mongolian brothers invited by Meng Ke were too real, knowing that there was a food shortage in the Jin country now, and there would be no soju, so they dragged a cart of mare's milk wine they brought, this thing tasted refreshing, but the stamina was not small, except for Qi Chongge, who was a literati, the others were all big and coarse, and when they saw that there was no wine, they were honest at first, and they shouted after drinking, and the yard was in a mess.
Haoge hugged his mother with red eyes, Fujin deserved it well, just because he saw that Azig didn't get out of the car to salute, Lao Khan forced him Ama to divorce his wife, which was too wrong, Haoge couldn't help but hug his head and cry when he thought of his good future. Shuo Tuo said, your E-Niang is still alive, but my E-Niang has died early, your Ama is not bad to you, the old man in our family almost killed me, I am more bitter than your life. Jaisangu said, "You are nothing, I don't even have Amma, my two brothers never look at me, no one cares whether I live or die, what do you say I have to live?" The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they hugged each other and cried.
Li Yu also drank too much, stood up and was about to leave, and said in his mouth, my Ama and Eniang must still be looking for me everywhere, they will be sad if they can't see me, I won't stay here anymore, I want to go to Zhenbei Pass to find them, Tulai and Yangshan hurriedly hugged him, Li Yu struggled hard, crying and shouting: "Let go of me, I'm not with you anymore, I'm going to go out, I'm still waiting for me to go home." ”
The yard was even more chaotic, Meng Ke's face turned white with fright, and he picked up Li Yu and stuffed him into a hut.
When Li Yu's family was in a mess, Abatai was sitting at home leisurely, and he didn't care about the second girl going to Li Yu's house, he just put on a posture of taking advantage of the pit for others to see, and the others didn't care, anyway, his daughter didn't suffer, Zhu Shen didn't need to behave like the Han people, Abatai's Fujin wanted to take care of it, but what she did was to take the opportunity to take a closer look at Li Yu's house, livestock, and Lao Wang and Lao Zhao's families, and by the way, help her daughter receive gifts.
Fu Jin came back, with a sad face and discussed with Abatai, Fu Jin told Abatai about the harvest of her infiltration into the Li family, Erlu, this child is good, and the gift is so big that the second girl doesn't even ask, it seems that the second girl will definitely be able to run the family when she marries in the future, and Erlu has no relatives, so the second girl doesn't need to wait for her in-laws, and there are no brothers and sisters to drag her down, we marry the second girl is equivalent to receiving a son for nothing, this family does not suffer.
However, Fujin also analyzed Li Yu's disadvantages, mainly because Li Yu is too poor, although he has a house and a tow rope, but there are almost no others, Aha looks honest, but there are few of them, there are only a few horses and a mule, and the Erlu family still can't turn over after a few years.
Abatai said nonchalantly: "This is already good, it's better than marrying in Mongolia, what are you afraid of if you don't have money, anyway, our family is not rich, my father Khan has to subsidize us, our daughter is also his granddaughter, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, he's afraid of being embarrassed!" ”
Li Yu's house has been lively until dark, the talent gradually dispersed, Li Yu also woke up at this time, the second girl happily reported to Li Yu, this day used a pig and ten chickens, and the grain used less than two stones - the province was already a little picky, fortunately, there were only more than 100 people who really ate, and they didn't lose face. Most of the gifts received are worthless, except for some cotton cloth is some household goods to be used to live, just use it to save money to buy, the biggest harvest is still from those Baylor, nobles, these people will not come but the shot is one or two taels of silver, the old Khan is the most generous one is ten taels of silver, the concubine also gave two green cloth, Baylor may have made an appointment, the four Baylors each gave five taels of silver, and the other Baylors each sent three taels.
Erniu said, fortunately, we have the cheekiness to invite the Great Khan and Baylors, it is possible to lose money, now calculated, aside from the cost of opening a banquet, as well as the cost of having to buy belongings, at least we can net fifty taels of silver, this money is enough for our family to cover up the pigsty, raise a few piglets, and also add a cow to the family's tows, and Erniu also plans to use a few green cloths to add a piece of clothing to the family - Zhu Shen regards Aha as a member of the family.
The more Li Yu listened, the more angry she became, so she simply didn't listen to it, and let Erniu watch it herself, Erniu didn't shirk at all, and went home happily. Li Yu pointed at her back angrily and couldn't speak, Meng Ke nodded and said, "I know what I want to say, this girl is too powerful, let's fall into her hands." "Meng Ke gambled with Shuotuo and Zhai Sangu today, and was scolded by the second girl.
As soon as the second girl walked on the front foot, the shopkeeper Fan came, and apologized to Li Yu when he opened his mouth, he estimated that there must be more people who came during the day, and he was not good at showing up in the Ming Kingdom, so he came to make up the gift when it was dark. The shopkeeper Fan is really a bold person, he gave two small jars of wine and two bundles of tobacco leaves, which are things that are not easy to buy even if you have money, and he insisted on giving Li Yu two taels of silver, which is a generous gift, Li Yu dare not accept it.
Shopkeeper Fan is angry, everyone is a person who has been through hardships together, you have a new home, of course I want to congratulate, if you feel that you are an official and look down on me, then I will leave immediately, and I will never come to your door from now on.
Meng Ke was not polite at all, he directly accepted it for Li Yu, and said in his mouth that everyone is a brother, not an outsider, so what dare not accept it.
After the shopkeeper Fan sat down, he said goodbye, the goods in his hand have been sold, the ginseng and fur that should be in have been collected, and it has been half a year since he came out, and he has to go back to his hometown in Shanxi. Li Yu has a very good impression of the shopkeeper Fan, this person is bold and righteous, if it weren't for his help, Bayanha's business may not be done, I heard that he was leaving, and I hurriedly asked him if he would come back.
The shopkeeper replied, he will definitely come back, but after the spring of next year, the business here is very good, the freight of the Ming Kingdom will not worry about not being able to sell here, the Jin Kingdom is very respectful to these businessmen, and the government also tries to provide them with protection, no one dares to extort from them, the business tax of the Jin Kingdom is also fair, one or two silver collects a penny of tax, and it is divided into three parts, one belongs to the government, one belongs to the officials in charge, and the rest belongs to the people who collect taxes, so it is the best, everyone has benefits, and no one has to use their brains.
Shopkeeper Fan said with a wry smile: "Business is easy to do, but people can't stand it, not to mention the long and difficult road, there are horse thieves robbing along the way, and it's not good to put your life into it, it's not a person who can't survive in the pass, no matter how much money you give, no one will do it." ”
The two talked for a while, the shopkeeper Fan saw that it was not early, got up and said goodbye to Li Yu, Li Yu kept sending him to the mouth of the alley, the shopkeeper Fan broke up with pride, patted his chest and said: "Brother Li, my master's house is Fan Yongdou, a useful place in the future, as long as you go to Datong and Xuanfu at several mutual market gates, and inquire about Fan Yongdou and Fan Erxi of Shanxi Jiexiu, you can naturally find us." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Fan suddenly reacted, this was a bit too much, if Li Yu went to Datong and Xuanfu, he would not be doing business, he would immediately be a little embarrassed.
Li Yu said very calmly: "Okay, I will definitely look for you when I go to Datong and Xuanfu." ”
Li Yu made a bit of a big fuss this time to entertain and receive gifts, and the next day there was a complaint from the Han officials against him, the reason is very good, now the military and civilians all over the country are tightening their belts to live, Erlu as an official of the Dajin State put on a feast to eat and drink, I heard that he also got drunk and crazy and wanted to go back to his hometown, what kind of system is this, and the Great Khan said that all the banners are not allowed to gather privately without permission, but Erlu invited all the people of the Eight Banners to collect and scrape it, and even they did not let go of these poor Han officials, this person is so lawless and bold, Severe punishment must be imposed to set an example.
Lao Khan attached great importance to the impeachment of the Han officials, and immediately sent someone to tell the people of the Great Yamen that this lawless behavior of Erlu should be dealt with seriously, and his personal opinion was to demote Erlu's second-class guerrilla to a third-class guerrilla, and in view of the bad nature and impact of Erlu's mistakes, he should also be fined 10 taels of silver.
When Yasun smiled and announced the punishment decision to Li Yu, Li Yu didn't care at all, he had never figured out what was going on with the officials of the Dajin Kingdom, he always felt that he was still a small soldier, as for the ten taels of silver, Li Yu felt that it was probably because the old Khan regretted it and wanted to take the money back.
