At this time, it is the turn of these khans who are complaining about it, they are the sons and daughters of heaven and earth, crisscrossing the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, and they have always been unrestrained and reckless, and learning these etiquettes at this time is as uncomfortable as tying an invisible rope to their bodies. It's just that Lian Zining has already given orders, and there is Shi Dazhu, a person named protection, who is actually watching, is staring at the side, and they don't dare to steal and play tricks, before coming, Wu Yi Boke said that if anyone spoils this big thing, just wait to be cleaned up!

The word "tidying up" is a bit general, but it probably can't be separated from killing people, exterminating the tribe, and completely turning the tribe into a ruin.

It is the intention of learning backwards.

Lian Zining moved a chair to the side and watched from afar, he covered his face with a big hat, no one could see him, Lian Zining sat under the eaves, basking in the warm winter sun, looking at those people full of jokes, smiling from time to time, but also comfortable and graceful. The tension of these days seems to be passing little by little.

In the end, it turned out to be a deep sleep.

At this time, Lian Zining is very leisurely, but the days of some people are in dire straits.

Early in the morning, after the city gate was opened, King Fu took a group of guards to bathe in the morning light on the horizon and went out of the north gate.

The sound of horses' hooves was broken, and although they had tried their best to hurry, the road was not in good condition. Beizhili and Shanxi, there were a few heavy snowfalls before the New Year, covered in silver, seeing that the second year was a good year, and the people who had been tormented by the drought for a whole year were smiling. It's just that February 2 has passed now, and the temperature has risen after the beginning of spring. The snow melted, but the ground was muddy and difficult to navigate. The capital leads to Liyue, and the rammed ground is stronger, and other boundaries are prohibitive. Rao is so. It was also a full noon before he arrived at the gate of Liyue.

A city wall of more than 70 miles long has been built around Liyue, which encloses the range where Liyue is located and a large area of green mountains and green waters around it, and the entire range of Liyue is much larger than that of Beijing City.

The inner perimeter of Liyue is a large stretch of palaces, pavilions and pavilions with the north and south mountains of Liyue as the core, and in the slightly outer, between those natural mountains and rivers, there are also many palaces and courtyards. This constitutes the inner perimeter. As for the periphery, it was within ten miles of the city walls, and a large number of barracks were built in this range for the soldiers to be stationed for practice and rest. This time, Emperor Zhengde hunted in the north, patrolled Liyue, and brought an army of 100,000 Beijing troops, which was enough to guard the seventy-mile city wall like an iron bucket.

The city wall of Liyue is the same size as the city of Beijing, which is 15 zhang high and 10 zhang thick. All of them are made of Yanshan bluestone, tall and heavy, easy to defend and difficult to attack, every mile of distance. It is a fortress that protrudes beyond the city walls. The end is solid.

The name of the west gate of Yue is called Donghua Gate, and after entering it is a large garden, known as Donghua Garden.

In the capacity of the blessed king. is another person who was ordered to return to the palace to restore the order, and naturally no one dared to stop him. Soon arrived at the foot of the Liyue Long Live Mountain, King Fu instructed his entourage and went to recruit a few ministers who were confidants in the prime to go to his residence to discuss important matters later. Then he went up the 'ladder to the sky' that made many ministers smell it, and went straight to the harem.

As soon as Fang entered the palace, he saw Liu Jixiang and King Fu, Liu Jixiang quickly knelt down to salute, and called him a slave.

King Fu knows these eunuchs very well, and knows that these eunuchs are by the side of his father, but they are actually extremely important figures, and they may not be able to help you succeed, but the things that want to harm you are simply tight, and it can be said that it is a model of insufficient success and more than failure, so he does not dare to offend, although he has important things in his heart, he also said a few words with a smile.

King Fu asked that Zhengde was in the imperial study, and then he took his leave.

Liu Jixiang looked at his back, couldn't help muttering in his heart, and said in his heart: "Didn't King Fu commission an errand to meet the Khan kings of the Northeast and the envoys of the Jin State?" Why did you come back in such a hurry? ”

King Fu arrived at the imperial study, but saw a person who happened to come out of it, full of spring breeze, a face full of pride, he took a look, but it was Sun Yanzhi, the left Yushi who was in charge of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou.

Sun Yanzhi was demoted to Yunnan for a major crime, and was recently recalled, but Fang was promoted by leapfrogging since he came back, and it was an errand of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that people couldn't provoke, so now he can be regarded as the number one person in the court, everyone is rumoring, and now this is going to make great use of Sun Yanzhi, this Zuo Du Yushi is not over, and he has to go up!

As for the reason, some people of insight have seen it, and this is clearly a measure made in order to deal with possible changes in Yunnan. This Sun Yanzhi is also good luck, he went to Yunnan to die, but it became his luck.

Sun Yanzhi, who is running in the present tense, is also very much gathered at the beginning, and it can be regarded as a small force in the court.

Seeing King Fu, Sun Yanzhi's face showed a slightly stunned look, bowed to salute, and said with a respectful smile: "Xiaguan has seen His Royal Highness King Fu." ”

King Fu had a bad relationship with King Lu, the two couldn't look at each other, he was naked contempt and disdain for King Lu, and King Lu was envious, jealous and hateful to this talented fourth brother, the two of them took a look at each other on weekdays, but they just snorted coldly, and didn't even say a word. Now that this is happening again, as soon as King Fu saw Sun Yanzhi, an evil fire naturally rose in his heart, and his eyes were a little cold.

He glanced at Sun Yanzhi a few times, and said with a smile: "Yo, look at Lord Sun's red face, is this another happy event?" ”

Sun Yanzhi couldn't help but be stunned, the Fu King he came into contact with, and the Fu King he knew, had always been a humble gentleman, but he would never say sarcastic words to his face, why is this today? He was a little confused, and his heart could it be that His Royal Highness King Lu had done something to offend people again?

It's just that he can only endure this breath and say, "Your Highness said that you laughed, but the Holy Ministers asked a few questions." Where are the happy events? ”

These words are very humble, but there is also a faint sense of arrogance in them.

In the court to see if a person is favored. Is it to be of great use, is it Jane in the emperor's heart. The easiest way to do this is to see how often he sees the emperor. If he is received by the emperor in three days and two ends, he is naturally a red and purple character, and he must be of great use and take refuge. And those courtiers who have never faced the saint alone once in a few years, then they don't think about it, the emperor doesn't know who you are at all~ Still thinking about development? Dream on!

Speaking of which, this time Sun Yanzhi was summoned by the emperor, which was really a great joy.

The last time he was summoned was to inquire about his views on Yunnan. Will he immediately conspire against the inference, and this time, he summoned Sun Yanzhi and asked him about the strategy of restraining the Duke of Yunnan Qianguo.

For this question, Sun Yanzhi has already been in his chest, and he doesn't know that he has thought about it tens of thousands of times in private, but as soon as the emperor brought it up, he groaned slightly, and gave a few strategies.

"Restrain Yunnan Qianguo Gong. The minister thinks that we must start from two aspects, one of which is internal. Second. Outside. ”

"Since the Duke of Qianguo already has the heart of disobedience, he must install eyes and ears in the court and eavesdrop on the movements of the court. Your Majesty's heart, the words of your ministers. In case the imperial court and the heavenly army suddenly arrive. Hit him off guard. Moreover, in the political envoys close to Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places, there must be people who use them. It is the ministers who think that the top priority is to secretly visit the Jinyi Guard, observe his words and observe his deeds, and see who among the courtiers and local ministers are the people who are often associated with Yunnan. After the investigation, it was not appropriate to directly announce his crimes, but to impeach him on other charges, as if he was corrupt, mediocre, and so on, and dismissed him, so as not to startle the snake, but to make the prince of Qianguo have a sense of vigilance. ”

"This is also said to be inside, in order to cut off his ears and eyes. As for the outer side, the ministers are divided into three. ”

"One of them is to paralyze his heart. Nowadays, the imperial court encircles and suppresses the Duke of Qianguo, firstly, the division is unknown, and secondly, the border wars are still frequent this year, and the national strength is already a little overwhelmed, and once the war in Yunnan starts again, the terrain of Yunnan is mountainous and rugged, then the war will be protracted, harmful to the country, and it is not the best time now. When the war between the north and the south subsides and the Haiyan River clears, it is best to take action. Now, the imperial court should paralyze the Duke of Qianguo, reward him, and issue an order to praise and promote him, so that he thinks that the court has no intention of being wary of it, so that he will be paralyzed carelessly, not to mention that the contemporary Duke of Qianguo is a person with great ambition and talent, and he will not think of the intention of the imperial court. ”

"Second, it is said in all directions. Although it is not possible to attack Yunnan immediately, but it can be militarily encircled by it, and the saint can choose a few generals, lead a few elite troops, and secretly camp around Yunnan, and do not alarm the Duke of Qianguo, but once the war starts, then several large armies can immediately march together, directly into the inner belly of Yunnan, and catch him off guard. ”

"Third, it is said that it is empty. Now, after all, Yunnan is still the land of the dynasty, and it has not become a country of its own, and with the courage, courage, and state of mind of the prince of Qian, he will never dare to turn his face with the court in a short time. Since he is like this, then the court can suppress him with the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, as long as it is not too much, then he has to obey. At this time, Yunnan was still the land of the national dynasty, and it was natural for the dynasty to send officials, and his subordinates thought that it was better to choose a loyal and dedicated courtier, who was wise and brave, and served as the political envoy of Yunnan and was in charge of Yunnan political affairs. It must be known that at this time in Yunnan, there must be many people who are dissatisfied with the Duke of Qianguo, so after this person goes, he can act cheaply and weaken the power of the Duke of Qianguo from within. ”

This reply was planned by Sun Yanzhi for a long time, and he thought that it was seamless, and as he expected, the saint was also extremely satisfied, and in his words, it also revealed the meaning of promoting here.

is about to be promoted, which naturally makes Sun Yanzhi very excited, but the most important thing is not this, but the saint entrusted him with a position, that is, to secretly observe words and feelings, secretly visit, and then recommend a few officials to take on important responsibilities - naturally he is the candidate to surround Yunnan militarily and serve as the political envoy of Yunnan.

This made Sun Yan's heart burst with unspeakable ecstasy.

You must know that Emperor Zhengde entrusted him with this errand, which means that he has several places in his hands that are enough for ordinary military attaches to become the border generals in charge, after all, if you want to encircle and suppress the Duke of Yunnan Qianguo from all directions, then the person who is entrusted with the errand. At least he must be a high-level military general at the level of a provincial commander. The commander of the capital is the highest military governor of the locality, and he is a dignified second-class officer. Not only is the official position high, but also the real power is extremely heavy. Even for many lords and marquis earls who have the title of governor and governor, they all want to find such an errand.

It is conceivable that once this news is released, I don't know how many people will come like flies that smell the smell. And with Sun Yanzhi's means, courage, and prestige, they can naturally be controlled, which will make Sun Yanzhi's forces under him. Get great swelling!

Moreover, these titles can not only be used to win over people, but also to harm people.

Hurt whom? Who else could there be? Naturally, it was Lian Zining.

Sun Yanzhi's most hope is naturally to recommend Lian Zining, a person who is 'brave and strategic, courageous, loyal to the imperial court, and has a heart for my emperor', to be recommended as the political envoy of Yunnan, and then get him there to die. However, this is obviously unlikely. After all, Lian Zining is an out-and-out military general, and has the title of earl, he went to Yunnan, if the Duke of Qianguo doesn't understand that the court wants to do something to himself, then it's! This is tantamount to forcing the Duke of Qianguo to rebel.

But. Sending Lian Zining to the periphery of Yunnan to do one of the 'four directions', Sun Yanzhi thinks that if it works well, it is still very promising. In his opinion, Lian Zining's subordinates are all northern soldiers. I don't accept the water and soil of the south, but I am afraid that if I go to the south, I will get sick most of the time. And Yunnan-Guichuan is extremely hot and humid. There are many poisonous insects, and the road is rough. The principle of marching and fighting is fundamentally different from that in the north, Lian Zining can fight in the north, but he may not be able to fight in the south. At that time, once there is an open war with Qianguo, I am afraid that it is very likely that Wu Yijun will be directly defeated, and at that time, Sun Yanzhi will naturally have a lot of means to rectify him.

I have to say that Lian Zining did not send someone to assassinate Sun Yanzhi, which was really a huge mistake, this person was ruthless and insidious, unscrupulous, and even more skillful, and his power gradually recovered, but he was an extremely terrible enemy. He didn't confront Lian Zining directly, he just calculated secretly, like a poisonous snake, which was really uncomfortable.

Naturally, he wouldn't say this to King Fu, and King Fu didn't want to know, but when he saw Sun Yanzhi's expression, he was upset for no reason.

"Look at you and your master, how long can you still jump!" King Fu snorted coldly and strode in.

The second monk of Sun Yanzhi was puzzled, glanced at the back of King Fu suspiciously, and went by himself.

When King Fu entered, Zhengde was taking a nap, after all, he was old, and he had discussed with Sun Yanzhi just now, and the spirit was quite consumed, so he leaned on the side of the Arhat bed to take a nap, and when he saw King Fu come in, he had a smile on his face: "Yo, the emperor is here, sit down!" ”

Zhengde is obviously happy from the bottom of his heart, and for this son, in addition to loving the house and Wu, he also really likes it.

King Fu is polite, never pampered and arrogant, honestly knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, and said that the ministers knocked to see their father, at this time the eunuch who was waiting on the side was already very eye-catching and moved a brocade pier over, and he sat down next to half of his buttocks.

Zhengde was also very satisfied with his courtesy, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Why is the emperor, but you have welcomed the envoys of the Jin Kingdom and the Khans of the Northeast Provinces?" ”

King Fu nodded: "Back to my father's words, I have already greeted him, and I have already arranged to live in the Northern Guild Hall." Last night, the sons and daughters feasted the guests in the hall for their father, these country barbarians, if they really have never seen the world, are not rare dishes, but they are inseparable from the things in the cup, and they are all drunk. At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple are teaching them the etiquette of facing the saints, and it is enough to think of two or three days of work. ”

Saying that, it was to pick up the jaw-dropping appearance of those people when they entered the capital and the drunkenness in the banquet as an interesting thing to tell Emperor Zhengde, there is no entertainment in these years, and people's laughter is afraid that it is also lower, Zhengde listened, and he was also happy, and spontaneously gave birth to a sense of superiority of the Heavenly Empire.

It can be seen that Emperor Zhengde is still very satisfied with King Fu's errand this time, and his face has always been smiling.

"Just." King Fu hesitated a little, and said with an indecisive face: "The son does not dare to hide his father, although everything is going well, but in the meantime, there are still two turmoil. ”

"Turmoil?" Zhengde's face sank slightly, and said: "You don't hide it from me, but you're right, let's talk about it, what kind of turmoil, the arrival of 1510." ”

King Fu nodded and said, "After the ministers welcomed the envoys of the Jin State and the Khan Kings of the Northeast to enter Beijing, and when they arrived at a certain street corner, some Diao people rushed out and threw them at the envoys of the Jin State and others with some rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and even filthy things such as the reincarnation of grains. ”

Zhengde's face was suddenly a little unhappy: "Where did this Diao Min come from?" Is there anyone behind it? ”

King Fu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's the family of the soldiers who followed Xu Peng to conquer the north in the past......"

As soon as Zhengde heard this, his face became even more gloomy, he was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "What did you do?" ”

"The ministers ordered that they, as well as the officials of the Shuntian Mansion who maintained that order, were put to prison in Jinyi and strictly examined." He paused, checked Zhengde's expression, and said, "Moreover, Erchen also announced on the street that they were rebelled and instructed by the White Lotus Sect, and they had already ordered the Jinyi Guard to strictly investigate, and they must not let go of one!" ”

"You're doing the right thing." Zhengde was silent for a while, and suddenly a trace of hatred appeared on his face: "These people who don't know the general situation!" But I don't know how much benefit it will be to us to surrender to the Jurchens and the Northeast this time. Once the war in the northeast subsides, the forces used in the northeast to prevent the Jurchens can be immediately withdrawn and used to attack Hamiwei in the west, or to go north to deal with Duoyan Sanwei, or directly to the south to deal with those damn Annan barbarians! They don't know what this means to Da Ming! Damn it, Diao Min! Death is too good for him! ”

Hearing Emperor Zhengde's words, King Fu let out a long breath, knowing that this time he was doing the right thing, and he really catered to the emperor's wishes.

Zhengde was angry, and suddenly slapped the table fiercely: "Xu Pengju this dog thing, if it weren't for him, the Jurchen would have been destroyed a long time ago, where did so many incidents come from?" It is his sin that the 200,000 elite soldiers of the dynasty were destroyed in one fell swoop! ”

He suddenly turned to Ma Yongcheng and said, "Old Ma, where is it now, what is your job?" ”

Ma Yong is still an adult, and his memory is still good, and he immediately said: "Back to the emperor's words, since that incident, I have been cultivating at home, some time ago, during the New Year, you rewarded all the honorable relatives, and then released it, and now you are on an errand in the Zuojun Governor's Mansion." ”

"Someone to reprimand him!" Zhengde waved his hand in disgust: "Let him go home and think about it!" ”

"Yes." Ma Yongcheng hurriedly responded.

Seeing that Emperor Zhengde was so angry at this time, King Fu didn't dare to speak, and after a while, Zhengde was already slightly tired, and glanced at him: "What, is there anything else?" ”

King Fu said, "There is one more thing. ”

"Say!" Zhengde said impatiently.

"The son is guilty, please blame the father!" King Fu suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and said in a low tone.

As soon as he did this, Zhengde was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "The emperor gets up, if you have something to say." ”

King Fu shook his head and said quickly: "Just last night, someone in the Beihui Hall mixed in, dumped fire oil outside the wing where the distinguished guests lived, and tried to set fire to the house. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengde's face had become gloomy like water, there was a flame burning in his eyes, his snort was heavy, and the muscles on his face were jumping and jumping, which was a precursor to Emperor Zhengde's fury. Ma Yongcheng, who was on the side, shrank back and lowered his head in fear.

King Fu lowered his head and continued: "Erchen Xingye got the news, hurried to go, although the person who set the fire was caught, but he had already committed suicide by taking poison, according to the diagnosis brought by Erchen, the poison in this person is a very pure poison. ”

When Ma Yongcheng heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he suddenly regretted staying in this house. (To be continued.) )
