"Eighteen children are the main artifact"

The middle-aged man who claimed to be speculating on good luck was divining in Li Zicheng's handsome tent, and the shape of the hexagram device scattered on the ground was naturally only decipherable by this middle-aged man.

After the short middle-aged man saw the hexagram, he thought something in his mind, as if he was calculating something, and suddenly said that sentence in surprise.

There are almost 30 generals who are qualified to be in the tent, all of them staring at this hexagram master with nervous expressions, Confucianism in China for thousands of years, focusing on not believing in ghosts and gods, but from the emperor to the commoners, everyone believes in the fortune divination.

If it weren't for luck, why did Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, become the Ninety-Five Emperor from a monk, and Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was just a pawn, but since the incident, he was defeated and scattered by the official army and forced into a desperate situation, I don't know how many times, but every time he can rise up on a larger scale than last time, is there a destiny in this!

"Eighteen children are the main artifact" The words came out, Song Xiance's face was mysterious, but Li Zicheng was a little confused, he looked at the generals on the left and right, there were very few of these people who knew words, but the military advisor Niu Jinxing, who was standing next to him, smiled and did not express his opinion.

The room was quiet for a while, and then someone said in a whisper:

"Child, isn't the eighteen sons just a Li character, these eighteen children are the main artifact, that is, the Li family is the main artifact, this artifact is not the meaning of the world?"

This person said slowly, but everyone understood the meaning, Li Zicheng's heart was ecstatic, some people said that he had the world, and the current situation seems to prove this more and more, and today's hexagram gives him strong confidence, it is really providential in the dark.

If Niu Jinxing came forward to interpret the hexagram, Li Zicheng would be a little more puzzled. After all, this Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing are old acquaintances, and if the two of them sing and harmonize, it will inevitably be collusion.

The person who can interpret it out loud is Gao Yigong, and Gao Yigong is his own wife and brother. Treat himself the most loyal, he was rough when he joined the army, followed the army to fight in the north and south, Gao Yigong is the only person who can read in his spare time, which is an outlier in the camp. He was also laughed at by many people, but he knew some word calculations. So he is in charge of logistics and military affairs.

What Gao Yigong said, Li Zicheng would not have any doubts, after listening to this explanation, he already had a slight smile on his face, and many of the generals in the camp had not yet understood, and they were a little confused. However, the one who reacted quickly already understood, and passed on this judgment from ear to ear.

The buzz in the tent grew louder and louder, and the first to speak was Liu Zongmin, who laughed there and almost roared:

"King Chuang is really going to be the emperor, when the time comes, we will all be generals, Mr. Niu will be the prime minister, go to Beijing, and eat white rice every day. Lamb stew with mushrooms!! ”

Shaanxi mainly eats noodles, eating rice is relatively luxurious, and even if the army is powerful, these generals do not have a very good life, this Liu Zongmin said, there are some emperors who eat white flour steamed buns every day, but these words are said to the hearts of the generals present.

The generals in the handsome tent all had happy faces on their faces, although Li Zicheng looked calm. But the smile on his face is getting stronger and stronger. Seeing this situation, Niu Venus left his seat. gave Li Zicheng a deep look and said:

"King Chuang, this is the will of heaven, I should go with the sky, and now although my army has hundreds of thousands, it is an unfounded place to conquer the east and west, this is the weakness of my army, and I should occupy a ......place next."

The Mandate of Heaven is in the king Li Zicheng, after the generals dispersed from the tent, everyone is excited, can be a minister from the dragon, Li Zicheng became the emperor, and he is also a marquis and worships the land treatment, what a beautiful prospect, before this, the idea of rebelling as an emperor is rarely remembered, everyone just wants to gather in a bunch and fight with those people in the government, so as not to be starved to death and squeezed to death, but now there is a better way out.

Song Xiance, who came to divinate the hexagrams, was named a military advisor on the spot, located under Niu Jinxing, and was regarded as the second-ranked Wenchen in the army.

This night's life, many people are so excited that they won't go to bed early, and Niu Venus is also *** Changming in the camp, because Niu Venus is the whole family to join the army, and there are also female dependents to follow, in order to show the preferential treatment, the camp specially demarcated an area for him, and the guards and attendants sent are all guarding the edge of this area, not sticking to the camp tent.

So when the Niu father and son talked, they didn't have to worry about someone listening outside.

However, even so, the voices of the father and son are overwhelmingly low, and there is no big mistake in being careful, all the soldiers in this army are warriors, and the identities of his father and son as scribes are extremely abrupt and alternative here, although they are very respectful and respectful, it is better to be cautious.

"Father, today's hexagram ......"

Niu Jinxing saw his son's expression, knew Niu Di's thoughts in his heart, and said:

"Being a father has nothing to do with this matter, Song Xiance liked to take risks back then, who knows whether today's hexagram is really providential or he did it intentionally."

Niu then breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and whispered:

"Uncle Song's hexagram today is right, it just scratches the itch of King Chuang, I'm afraid I thought about it before I came!"

Niu Jinxing looked at Niu laughing, his face suddenly became stiff, and he reprimanded coldly, of course, his voice was still so low, and reprimanded:

"Do you think that the king of the handsome tent and the generals below don't know? You really think that they are all martial artists who don't understand anything, I see that you don't understand anything, in this camp, you and I are always outsiders, and we must be careful step by step to ensure the safety of the whole family. ()”

Hearing Niu Jinxing say this, the expression on the cow's face was quite exciting, anyone could see that this was a very stunned appearance, and he couldn't believe it, Niu Jinxing sighed lightly and said:

"Song Xiance came to the camp to divination, think about it, he wants to find a career in this camp, where will he say anything bad, King Chuang has a mandate of heaven, he should be the emperor, you still hear less every day in this camp, why are everyone so surprised today, it is just to use ghosts and gods to give a name."

Cows are young after all. I thought I had seen through this, but I was stunned when I heard Niu Jinxing's analysis, and I knew that I thought my mind and scheming a little too high on weekdays. This army is up and down, maybe few people can compare to his father and son who are literate and literate, and they may be at this point today, commanding 10,000 or hundreds of thousands, who is a fool.

"Your Uncle Song has been studying hard since he was a child. But there has been no progress in the imperial examination, which is to travel all over the world. Divination for a living, he has great ambitions, and he came here to break into camp today, I am afraid it is also a very early plan. ”

Niu Jinxing sighed with some emotion when he spoke, a few years ago, he was still a person who enjoyed peace at home, and it was extremely hard to watch Song Xiance travel in all directions. I also want to persuade the other party to settle down, study at home, and try your luck in the imperial examination again, after all, it is a right background, who would have thought that today both sides have become one of the "anti-thieves", and the changes in this world are really unpredictable.

He recalled the past, and the cows did not dare to say anything there, and the camp was quiet. Suddenly, Niu slapped his hands, but Niu Jinxing was startled, looked at the cow, but saw that his son's cheeks were already red with excitement, and looked at Niu Jinxing quite mysteriously and said:

"Father, the eighteenth child is the main artifact, since it is said that the Li family should have the world. Engong is also surnamed Li. Could it be that he ......?"

After saying this, he was stunned and was stunned. However, Niu Jinxing was only stunned for a short time, then stood up suddenly, walked to the door of the camp with normal steps, lifted the curtain and walked out slowly, Niu was still excited, and was a little confused about his father's behavior.

Listening to the sound outside, it seems that it is convenient for Niu Venus to walk not far away, and it is said that people who read books should not be like this, but now they obviously don't pay attention to it so much.

Then Niu Jinxing seemed to be quite leisurely and walked around the camp, this is Shi Shiran walked in, if outsiders see it, it is just Niu Junshi coming out in the middle of the night for a stroll, and there is nothing strange.

Niu Jinxing walked back to the camp, the expression on his face could not be seen a little relaxed and casual, and he sat there and whispered nervously:

"I heard this today, you know, that's it, don't tell it to a third person again, you know!!"

Niu was originally very excited to think of this, but now Niu Jinxing spoke to him so harshly, he didn't react for a while, just looked at it in a daze, Niu Jinxing looked at his son and didn't react, and couldn't help sighing, Niu's brain is flexible, but there are many tricks that he can't understand.

Niu Jinxing said slowly:

"Your inference is of course nonsense, whether your Uncle Song's hexagram is providential or man-made is unknown, you and my father and son are in this camp, but thinking about the generals of the imperial court, if it is known, our whole family will die without a place to be buried, if it is spread out, where is Engong's side placed......"

These words were quite clear and clear, Niu was frightened, although Henan was also quite warm at night at this time, but suddenly Niu still couldn't help but shiver, looking around, for fear that someone would hear what he said.

At this time, Niu also understood why Niu Venus suddenly went "convenient", presumably to see if there was an ear of the wall.

The night passed like this, and everyone thought differently, but everyone found what they wanted from Song Xiance's hexagrams, which can be said to be a happy situation.

The so-called Mandate of Heaven, the so-called luck, is an extremely illusory thing, but the successive dynasties have changed dynasties, and they are particularly particular about these virtual things.

There is also a saying about these things called "a word into a prophecy", some words are okay if they are not said, and if they are said, they may come true, although Niu is mentioned casually, but there is an idea in the Niu father and son.

In June of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the hexagram of "eighteen children as the main artifact" has been spread in Henan and the surrounding provinces, as well as the sentence "Welcome the king, look forward to the king, and the king will not pay for food", which has also been spread, perhaps because the strength of the army has expanded, and the momentum has been rapid.

But on the ground in Shandong, although some people have heard this rumor, but it has always been unspread, at present there are very few yeoman farmers and even small landlords in Shandong, more than a dozen big landlords control the land on the ground in Shandong, these big landlords are either rich or expensive, the largest Shandong general soldier Li Meng. The second is the Confucian Mansion of the Holy Prince, and the third is the Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu, and the tenants under these characters do not have to deal with the harsh taxes of the imperial court.

But it's still a good place to live and have a good life. That is to say, the villagers in the Tuntian Grange under Li Meng can barely maintain food and clothing, and the tenant farmers in other places want to make a rebellion, but they can't do anything, and the soldiers and armed saltmen of the Jiaozhou battalion stationed in various places have enough advantages to extinguish any rebellion.

In June, the situation in Henan was half good and half chaotic. The good thing is that there is no land war in the entire northern part of Henan, and the chaotic place is that Li Chuang's army attacked the city in Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion. () Some scattered officers and soldiers were either annihilated, or hid in the city and did not dare to come out.

But the current army is not the kind of rabble that can't open the city, and many county and state cities can't be defended and are broken by the army.

And the ground in Shandong is quiet as usual, and there is a small event in Jinan Mansion, and Li Mengna, the chief soldier of Shandong, is a concubine. This concubine is said to be an orphan girl who has been taken in by Li Meng for a long time.

This time, in addition to the people from all walks of life sending gifts, there was nothing surprising about the concubines, and the Jiaozhou camp felt that this matter was logical, Mu Yunyao was not Li Meng's concubine, it was nothing more than a name, and they had been together for so many years.

Li Meng went to Kaifeng for a private banquet with King Zhou this time, and King Zhou also mentioned this matter, since Lingshan Commercial Bank has a branch in Kaifeng. King Zhou's father and daughter are often connected by letters, and King Zhou also knows that his daughter has no name.

Since he is no longer in the palace, he doesn't have to be so obsessed with his name and status, just become Li Meng's family after all, from his daughter's letter, King Zhou can also see the kind of joy and happiness that Mu Yunyao expressed between the lines, Li Meng doesn't have to say anything to her, the so-called eldest woman Yan Ruoran is like a sister to Mu Yunyao. It's also very kind.

And Mu Yunyao also mentioned it in the letter. In Li Mengdi's inner house, there are also Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru is two women. Although his daughter said it very briefly, King Zhou and Princess Zhou understood the seriousness of this matter, and wrote to their daughter that they couldn't wait so boringly, but that they should determine their status in the general army's inner house as soon as possible.

If Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru were really allowed to become concubines first, then the matter would become embarrassing, not to mention that his daughter vaguely mentioned in her heart that she was still responsible for some official affairs on the side of Li Meng, the chief soldier of Shandong, so although she had no name, her status was very important.

If you really lose the opportunity, you are likely to lose your qualifications to do these official things, so don't talk about any status.

This time Li Meng went to Kaifeng City, the reason why King Zhou would invite Li Meng at the risk of being exposed by the local government was to explain this matter at a private banquet.

For Li Meng, it is indeed time to marry Mu Yunyao, and the leaders in charge of internal security and intelligence, as well as Zhou Yang, Ning Qiangui and others, and even his father-in-law Yan Shenzheng, all told him that the institution of the internal account room has become similar to the Jinyiwei and Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty, such a confidential place, if it is not led by his own family, it is really not reassuring.

What's more, this Mu Yunyao is already his own family, why not determine this position, so that both parties can feel at ease, and let Mu Yunyao be more qualified to assign and control these institutions below.

On the contrary, the old eunuch Liu Fulai didn't pay much attention to whether to take a concubine, he vaguely felt that Mu Yunyao's identity was unusual, and he had a deep friendship with Li Meng, so he would not leave at all.

But Liu Fulai once said to Li Meng in private, "With your current status, no matter what you do, there is no difference between private and official affairs", Li Meng highly recognized this sentence, this concubine is actually the case, although Mu Yunyao is extremely happy.

But in the eyes of his subordinates, this is the first step for Li Meng to integrate Shandong's civil and military system.

Before and after the concubine, Li Meng's inner house remained unchanged, and it still operated according to the previous system, but the existence of the inner account room was more qualified, and the regulation and control of Lingshan Commercial Bank and Shandong Salt Gang was also slightly more powerful.

After the ceremony of taking concubines was completed, Li Meng readjusted the distribution of his subordinate generals, Ma Gang was stationed in the southern part of Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture, Zhao Neng was stationed in the northern part of Laizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture, and Li Meng's headquarters was directly in charge of Jinan Prefecture and Dongchang Mansion and the northern part of Yanzhou Prefecture.

The Huaibei Army and the Huainan Army were changed to the Huaiyang Army, which was under the command of Chen Liu, and the original Huaibei Army garrison Zhangjiang was transferred back to Shandong, and he was appointed as the Yanzhou Military Capital Division, and was also in charge of the area of Henan Guide Province. The original Huaibei Army was temporarily led by General Qiangaoke. Adjutant General of the Huaiyang Army, garrison title, based in Haizhou.

Chen Liu was promoted from guerrilla to general. Wang Hai was promoted from garrison to guerrilla, Tang Er also rose to the capital division, although the official positions of Ma Gang and Zhao Neng were not promoted, but the soldiers and horses under their two subordinates were to expand the army, and the Dengzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army each expanded their troops by 5,000.

Lingshan Commercial Bank is now a number of wealthy business groups. In Nanzhili, there are their own semicolons in Henan. The day is making money, but in addition to Hou Shan is the big treasurer, Ning Qiangui, the master of the Yanzheng branch stationed in Jiaozhou to inspect the yamen, also participated in the Lingshan Commercial Bank.

In fact, this is because the Lingshan Commercial Bank has expanded its scale and power after it has formed a coalition of interests with the Fang family in Yangzhou, the Zheng family in Fujian, and the Confucian family in Qufu. However, there are too few talents in Jiaozhou's camp to be financially endowed with trade, and it is not good for Hou Shan to be dominant in Lingshan Commercial Bank, so he simply let Ning Qiangui and other local financial teams also participate in the operation of Lingshan Commercial Bank, and there is a surveillance, which is also the support of personal manpower.

And Yuan Wenhong, who accompanied the army, was removed from the position of Tongzhi in a certain state and became the chief secretary of Li Mengdi's army, the main secretary is a very low-level affairs official, and the Tongzhi is a seven-rank official, but he got the news of the civil and military attache of the Jiaozhou battalion. Anyone who is familiar with Yuan Wenhong goes to congratulate.

Because Yuan Wenhong, who got this position, has become a member of the core *** around Li Meng, and is officially accepted by this group, and he is the counselor of the general army, in this system, the future is limitless.

Vaguely the place of the civil officials of the Jiaozhou battalion, Zhou Yang was still a little jealous in his heart, and he thought unconsciously. His deputy actually had such a good opportunity and opportunity. But it's just thinking about it in my heart, Zhou Yang is currently in charge. Yuan Wenhong is at most a confidential secretary position.

After returning from the Henan campaign, Zuo Liangyu's thousands of soldiers were killed by all parties, including Zuo Liangyu himself, who tacitly agreed and pressed him down.

Thousands of soldiers died by the river, who killed them, and no one can be found to prove it, and there is no one in Lanyang County at all, the whole city has become an empty city, and all that remains are the corpses of civilians in Lanyang City.

Since this matter will not be played, the great contribution of Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and Li Meng, the general soldier, in running for a long distance and breaking the siege of Feng is not trivial.

Especially now that the officers and soldiers are at war with the Liukou, and every battle in dozens of battles has been won, Li Meng's big victory should be commended, not to mention Li Meng's subordinate officials, as well as Shandong's upper and lower officials, even the civil and military officials in Henan thought that Li Meng would definitely hang the general's seal this time.

Now the great tomorrow, this general military officer is worthless, there are more than a dozen general soldiers in a province of North Zhili, but the general military officer hangs the general's seal, but the status is much more valuable, the status of the civil minister is much higher than that of the military attaché, and the military attache is under its command, but if this military general hangs the general's seal, he can be alone, and part of the power of self-authoritarianism, Zuo Liangyu is like this, hanging the seal of the general of the thief.

In addition to the speculation of adding a general's seal, some people think that Li Meng's aid to Henan this time is such a great achievement, and he may be knighted.

It is said that at the end of April, this credit has been reported to the imperial court, but until June there is no news at all, according to people who know the news of the imperial court, because Shandong and Henan jointly argued, refuted the emperor's face, Emperor Chongzhen once said that not to investigate the crime of losing the relatives is already a blessing, and there is no need to think about rewarding.

Originally, at the end of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, in order to make the military orders in various places more unified, he had already recalled the prison troops and the eunuchs guarding the town, but this time he ordered to reward Chen Min, the eunuch who came to urge the troops, promoted his grade, and let Chen Min stay in Shandong to supervise the army.

Emperor Chongzhen thought that he could restrain the governor and the general army by setting up eunuchs to supervise the army, and thought that by improving the rank of the eunuch Chen Min, he could make the other party loyal to him.

But of course he didn't know that except for the time when he received the order, the eunuch Chen Min was free, and the rest of the time and those brocade guards were under house arrest, so what opportunity did he have.

Their diet and food are quite rich, but there is no freedom at all, what they have to do every day is to copy the content of the documents given to them by the Jiaozhou camp, and then report this to the court as their own experience, the emperor and the court ministers saw that the Jiaozhou camp was peaceful, and Li Meng had no dissent. It's a joy for all.

The Qing army besieged Jinzhou City, and the war became more and more urgent, and the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen in Shanhaiguan sent urgent documents to the imperial court one by one. Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, has already concentrated a total of 130,000 soldiers and horses in Hebei and Liaodong, preparing to rescue Jinzhou.

They were all very optimistic about this battle, and the soldiers and horses of Shandong on Li Meng's side were originally among the troops who were also dispatched. However, because he went to rescue Kaifeng, Henan, he was ignored by Hong Chengchou.

In Laiwu's Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, new cannons were created. After Li Meng watched the test gun on the school field outside Jinan, he returned to Jinan City.

Marrying a concubine is relatively simple compared to marrying a wife, and of course, for an official of Li Meng's level, this matter is much more complicated than that of ordinary people marrying wives.

The army finished the campaign in Henan. There was a re-division of the garrisons, that is, in the second half of May, when it calmed down a little, and the armies also needed time to recuperate, and there would be no major action for the time being.

For Li Meng, there seems to be no difference after taking a concubine, although Mu Yunyao is happy with something every day, but Li Meng doesn't feel too different, and now it seems that Mu Yunyao is by Li Mengdi's side. Among the identities he has long held is the role of a wife.

It's just that the two sides are too close and have been together for too long, so they don't feel each other.

Accompanying Yan Ruoran's mother and son and Mu Yunyao at home, and at the same time looking at the situation of civil affairs during this time, it is also a rare leisure for Li Meng.

According to the local figures, the two granges in Guide Province, Henan Province, this is the second year, but the results are already very good. Harvesting is not just self-sufficient. It is already possible to pay and buy and sell.

Henan has been in a severe drought for many years, but after these two granges have collected a large number of displaced people. Relying on the water source of the Yellow River, digging ditches on both sides of the river, building water conservancy, and obtaining enough irrigated farmland, of course, there will be a good income. It's just that no one expected such a good effect.

In the first year, it relied on Yanzhou Tuntian Grange and the grain purchased from Kong Sande to subsidize it, and in the second year, it not only paid off the expenses of the first year, but also had a large surplus.

Thinking about the time when the troops were sent to Henan, what they saw and heard along the Yellow River was still the same old argument, not a natural disaster but *, in Henan, the Yellow River, Yishui, Luoshui large and small water systems are really a lot, and they are indeed a little dry, but relying on the remaining river systems, it is enough to build a better irrigation system than Shandong.

Henan's natural environment is much better than Shandong, but it can't be in a hurry, the land of Zhongzhou, Henan, extends everywhere, even if the Tuntian Grange is built, I'm afraid it can't be maintained, but it is for other people to make wedding clothes, but the situation of this Guide Mansion is different, backed by Shandong and Nanzhili, if there is a police, the Huaiyang Army and the Yanzhou Army can be mobilized to support at any time, and rely on waterways, the traffic is also very convenient.

Other Henan prefectures and counties do not have such good conditions, and now Li Meng is only a Shandong commander-in-chief after all, and Henan's affairs are not justified, so in principle, Jia Dashan's garrison should be on an errand in Shandong, and the two tuntian granges in Guide Prefecture are only private industries, with no official background.

However, now that the chaos in Henan, no one will take care of such details, which also makes Li Meng take advantage of a loophole.

Li Meng often sighed with emotion, he has those insights from modern times in vain, since he started his family, the really useful things are these ancient things, such as this Tuntian method, it is really useful, no wonder from ancient times to the present, countless heroes have used this Tuntian method.

As far as the Jiaozhou battalion is concerned, as long as it spends a year in a certain place and can operate, it can immediately establish a foothold in a certain place, because this grange and the tuntian households under its jurisdiction can send food and troops.

Sure enough, you can't underestimate the ancients, and you don't have the qualifications to underestimate yourself, Li Meng often reminds himself like this.

During the time that Li Meng stayed at home, he had a lot of family affairs, and he didn't go to Sun Chuanting's house.

This is a rare thing, Li Meng doesn't expect the other party to suddenly change sex, so he takes refuge in himself, but since the other party wants to meet, then go over and have a look, and there is no harm in chatting with such characters.

All in the military city of Jinan. It wasn't too far away, and halfway through, Li Meng remembered something. Before he left Jinan, he once told the people below that he would stop everything Sun Chuanting saw every day, after all, he was not in Jinan, and there were any big changes in the current situation in the world. Who knows what Sun Chuanting's reaction will be, and he was not banned until the beginning of June.

When I came to the courtyard where Sun Chuanting lived. It was very different from the day when he came here, Sun Chuanting's youngest son was no longer sitting there stupidly by the door every day watching the drills outside, but changed into a soldier's uniform that he didn't know he had ever found, and was instructed by a squad deputy there, holding a wooden pole in his hand.

Seeing Li Meng coming, the deputy of the team naturally saluted respectfully. The second son of the Sun family also followed the salute, Li Meng smiled, Sun Jiadi's family members are willing to integrate into the system of the Jiaozhou camp, which is naturally a good thing.

Walking into the courtyard, Sun Chuanting's eldest son was reading intently with a book in his hand, and when he noticed Li Meng coming in, he quickly stood up respectfully, bowed and said hello, Sun Chuanting's eldest son was four years younger than Li Meng. It's just a fame, and he doesn't have any official position.

With Sun Chuanting's status, it is easy for his son to achieve fame, but there is no official position so far, which shows that his son's talent is indeed limited.

Sun Chuanting has such a contact with such a character, but his two sons are so limited, this is really a typical example of concentrating on official duties and having no intention of upbringing.

Enter the study of this room. But I didn't expect that there would be a round table. There were several dishes on the round table, as well as two jugs of wine. Sun Chuanting sat on the main seat, saw Li Meng, stood up with a smile, and said easily:

"Mr. Li is really thoughtful to the old man, the old man wants to drink today, and the guards outside quickly bought it."

Li Meng was a little strange, and asked with a smile:

"This little thing is so worrying, I don't know why Mr. Sun is so interested."

Sun Chuanting stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, sat down first, picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, exhaled a long breath, closed his eyes and said leisurely:

"The old man thinks that he is dedicated to the public and abandons selfish desires, but in the past few days, he knows that Yang Wen is weak and afraid of crime and committed suicide, but he feels happy in his heart, and wants to drink a few glasses, thinking about it, that is, Mr. Li can drink the old man's drink, so he ordered someone to invite him, don't blame him!"

Li Meng didn't care, but after sitting down, he saw that Sun Chuanting's closed eyes had not yet opened when he was drinking, and he thought to himself what kind of good wine this wine was, and it could make people remember it for so long.

Sun Chuanting on the other side finished speaking leisurely, and after a while, before his eyes opened, two lines of tears flowed down, and he said in a gloomy tone:

"Yang Wen is weak and misguided the country, my grandson Chuanting misunderstands the country, and the saint ......"

With a long sigh, he opened his eyes, but he didn't continue after all.

Well, a reply to the ruffian Qingfeng book friends, thank you for reading the book carefully, thank you for your support, on this issue, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the military generals and the civil servants in the beginning of the discourse are almost the same, although Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes, but there is still a Yuan Commander Wuchen, that is, the so-called Huaixi Xungui Group formed, the children of the Xungui Group lead the troops, and the family soldiers and generals are very many, both political status and strength are very strong.

After Zhu Di Jingnan ascended the throne, King Yan's subordinate generals also formed a similar group of honorable military generals, and merged with the Huaixi group in front.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty were very similar to the nobles of Europe, and the Ming Emperor basically chose the concubines in these families, and they were not inferior to the civil officials in terms of strength and political status. Wengui and Wubei have not appeared at this time, but in the battle of Tumubao, most of the noble and military ministers of the Beijing Division were recruited with their own soldiers, and the ending is naturally known to everyone.

After that, the vitality of the Xungui military general group was greatly damaged, and the civil ministers gradually gained the upper hand, which was the origin of the later civil and military imbalance.
