It was not early when I arrived at Honglu Temple, but fortunately, the reception matter did not need to be handled by Shen Wuyan, and there would be no problem later, let alone be blinded by the board. [Ran^Text^Library] [].v.om

Walking into the yamen, the officials from Liaodong had been waiting for a long time.

In fact, the generals from the side are not allowed to return to Beijing without permission, if they return to Beijing, they must be summoned to Beijing by Feng, then they need to go to the military department to report, and then ask the emperor to meet, and finally go through the Honglu Temple arrangement.

It's just that there is a special problem here today, he did not go to the military department, but went straight to Honglu Temple.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Shen Wuyan saw the middle-aged man in armor sitting in the hall, he was pondering, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Shen Wuyan walked in that he got up and bowed to Shen Wuyan, saying, "Mr. Shen......"

Shen Wuyan waved his hand, still with a smile on his face, and said; "What happened to the ancestor when he came to the capital this time......

This person is the ancestor who succeeded Li Ruxuan in Liaodong as a general in Liaoyang, and he sent a letter to Shen Wuyan in advance before entering Beijing this time, so Shen Wuyan was not too surprised.

Old Ancestor sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "The imperial court means to exterminate the Jurchen Ministry...... It's just that General Li plans to use the Jurchens to balance the Mongolian department, and there is a disagreement between the two sides, so he asked me to come to the capital......"

Shen Wuyan sighed lightly and said helplessly: "Jurchen has always been a problem, but now Mongolia is also powerful...... Both sides are problems, and they cannot be eliminated completely, and checks and balances are indeed a good method. ”

Old Ancestor nodded and responded: "The imperial court means that it is afraid that the Jurchen will become big...... If it was like the Song Dynasty, the Jurchen destroyed Liao...... In the end, it became a great disaster......"

As soon as he said this, Shen Wuyan knew why the imperial court wanted to let the old ancestor come to Honglu Temple, because he was still serving as the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, and if he wanted to discuss Liaodong affairs, he would definitely not be able to avoid himself.

After a little hesitation, Shen Wuyan said: "The imperial court let the Jurchens send troops to destroy them, I think it was because the Jurchens slaughtered Qingyang Town before...... The whole court was shocked, and even His Majesty closed the court for a day. ”

"It's really infuriating, if you put it in the past. There will definitely be an army to destroy the Jurchen Ministry, but it has been ...... in the past few years" The ancestor sighed: "In the past few years, the national strength has recovered a little, and the imperial court really can't afford to fight......"

Shen Wuyan nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'll go and explain the matter to the imperial court here...... You have also negotiated with General Li that the Jurchens have always been hostile, and the Mongols have always fought and made peace, so don't give him a chance to breathe...... It is better to provoke two tribes. ”

The previous remarks were all expected. But the last sentence made the ancestor's face change. In the past few years, it has been the Mongols who have provoked the relationship between the Ming and the Jurchens. It caused a lot of trouble for Daming.

As for provoking the two clans, it has never happened, and it is not that the court has not thought of it, but it is really difficult to do. The Mongols and the Jurchens have always regarded the Ming Dynasty as great enemies, so that the two are extremely closely linked, so it is really difficult to provoke the two races.

Old Ancestor shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Mongolia and the Jurchens are extremely closely connected, don't talk about provoking...... Even if there is a slight disagreement, it is impossible. ”

Shen Wuyan showed a hint of a smile. said lightly: "The reason why the Mongols and Jurchens have repeatedly invaded my Ming Dynasty is because they need to survive...... Once they have lost their benefits, they will raise their armies and plunder...... In this way, we can give the Jurchens the benefit of isolating the Mongols...... Mongolia is already more powerful than the Jurchens, and one is a subordinate of the Jurchen, and now the Ming Dynasty is a good friend of the Jurchen. The Mongols felt that the Jurchens had betrayed them, and so the beam was concluded. The slightest instigation will lead to a war between the two. ”

The ancestor had been listening carefully with his head down, and only then did he raise his head slightly and sigh: "If Mr. Shen is the secretary of the military department, he is not bad......

Shen Wuyan waved his hand again and again, and said, "The biggest problem with this method is that it will raise the Jurchens. And the Jurchens also made friends with Mongolia, so the consequences were very serious. ”

Old Ancestor took a deep breath and said, "The result is that Mongolia is getting stronger and stronger, and the Jurchens are getting stronger and stronger, and finally the two will jointly attack my Ming Dynasty...... But that's all we have to do now. ”

Shen Wuyan waved his hand and said, "At this time, it is still up to the imperial court to decide...... Maybe the imperial court will think far-sighted...... It's just that the best way is to be strong yourself, only to be strong. No tribe dared to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Shen Wuyan said again: "The battle in the southeast sea lies in the strength of ships and artillery, and the north depends on the cavalry...... Although the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is powerful, it is difficult to defeat four hands with three punches...... Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou and Liaodong, these four towns are the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, and they must be strictly defended. ”

probably explained some things that Liaodong needed to pay attention to, and Shen Wuyan sent the ancestor away.

There is nothing to do in the yamen here, so Shen Wuyan plans to simply explain some things in the yamen, let the subordinates in the temple do it, and then go out for a walk, otherwise it will be really difficult to be bored in the yamen.

It just so happened that as soon as I walked out of the yamen, I saw the oncoming Honglu Temple Zuo Si Cheng, this Zuo Temple Cheng Liu is also an old figure in the officialdom, but because the exam results were not satisfactory that year, he was just a temple in the past many years, and he was not promoted.

But fortunately, he is still a Beijing official, although he is often responsible for the sacrificial court meeting to receive foreign guests, but he will not seem to have nothing to do, but he can still contact the central Yuan from time to time.

Seeing Liu Sicheng coming like this, Shen Wuyan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu looks good today......

Liu Sicheng's face was not good-looking, he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Shen Wuyan, snorted lightly, and said coldly: "Inherit the emperor's grace from above, and pass through the people from below...... How can a lower official not be good-looking? ”

Shen Wuyan secretly thought in his heart, although this Lord Liu is not smiling on weekdays, but he is not so serious, why does he look like this today, could it be that his family is not going well?

"Lord Yanagi...... Is this a home...... You see that my wife is at home, and she will always find something to do every once in a while, and you and I are both scholars, so we can't beat a woman......"

When Liu Sicheng heard this, his face turned even darker, and he said angrily: "The subordinates and their wives have a harmonious relationship and respect each other, and there will be no such problems......

"Oh......" Shen Wuyan smiled awkwardly, and then hurriedly said, "This way...... Lady Liu and take care of the ...... Go out and observe the people's feelings......"

"Aware of the Ming and Qing Dynasties?" Liu Sicheng sneered and said disdainfully: "Leaving your post without permission is leaving your post without permission...... It's not the first time that Mr. Shen has been late to greet guests this morning...... If it is not the first time, the subordinates will definitely report it to the officials. ”

"No, Lord Liu......" Shen Wuyan suddenly smiled and whispered, "Something happened to the Guozijian this morning...... Sending children to school and the result ......"

"Hmph." Liu Sicheng snorted coldly, turned around and left with his hands behind his back, muttering in his mouth: "It's embarrassing to show off this fraud...... There is no shame in it. ”

"Fraud?" Shen Wuyan was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know that he went to Guozijian that day, and before he entered the prison, Yang Bo took Yang Xian to make a fuss, and Yang Xian's mouth also revealed that Shen Wuyan was cheating for a while.

Fraud in the Ming Dynasty is an extremely disgraceful thing, if it is known by these high-ranking literati, it will definitely be another verbal criticism, and the rotten pen will turn into a three-foot sword, and you will be stabbed with thousands of holes.

And this Liu Sicheng happened to be the ultimate among this kind of literati, and when he heard that Shen Wuyan was cheating on his daughter, he was immediately annoyed, and even ashamed to be with him.

If it weren't for the persuasion of the lady in the family, he would have resigned and left angrily, and he would not be an official in the same dynasty as Shen Wuyan in this life.

Looking at the Liu Sicheng who left, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but be stunned, and finally had to laugh and go to the outside of the temple.

Walking out of the yamen, the world is clear, even in the summer, but it is still quite cool, probably because it is not yet noon, but it is not too hot.

But the good times didn't last long, and as soon as I took a few steps, the sky suddenly darkened, and then a heavy rain poured down, driving passers-by who were walking on the road to shelter from the rain in front of the shops everywhere.

When Shen Wuyan was flustered, he went into a tavern, and after sitting down to ask for a pot of tea and snacks, he suddenly heard a scholar say angrily: "Then Mr. Shen used to look like a human, but now he is famous and forgetful...... Blatantly fraud......"

Someone on the side immediately chimed in: "How can he accompany him to be called a gentleman...... All of us are upright, and all of them despise fraud...... He's so upright, he's really rampant......"

"You can't say that...... If someone didn't shake this thing out, who of you and I would know...... Even if he knew, he just thought that the daughter of the Shen family was really a genius......"

"That's what Shen Wuyan thinks, he's really talented...... I also wanted to let my daughter be in the limelight, but her deeds were really clumsy...... The six-year-old girl's entry into the national prison is a bit exaggerated. ”

Listening to these words, Shen Wuyan finally understood the problem, and sighed for a moment, sighing in his heart, originally he just wanted to find a better place for Shen Tianjun to study, but now there are so many problems.

If this matter continues, it is a trivial matter for him to be slandered, and it will inevitably affect Wang Xijue in the end, which is another annoyance.

So as soon as he drank a cup of tea, Shen Wuyan bought an umbrella from the small store, and walked out of the store with the umbrella.

"The man...... That person is so familiar, a little like Mr. Shen......"

"It's kind of like...... I saw it once in Suzhou back then, and it was like this...... Could he have heard the conversation between you and me? ”

"What do you hear...... Who in the capital doesn't know about this now...... What's more, if he made it himself, he won't allow you and me to talk about it? ”

The words gradually became softer in his ears, Shen Wuyan stepped on the rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking slowly, until when he turned the corner, he saw a young man walking with an umbrella.

"Mr. Shen hasn't seen ...... for a long time"

"Wan Gongzi ......"

Wan Cong had a playful smile on his face, and sighed lightly: "Mr. Shen's face seems to be a little heavy......

"There are still some things at home that I can't talk about for a long time...... I took my leave. After saying this, Shen Wuyan bypassed Wan Cong and walked into the distance. (To be continued.)
