Chapter 644: Love debts are hard to pay
Everyone was waiting outside the tent, and they only heard the sound of the wind blowing through the grassland, and suddenly Qin Lin's low cry came from the tent, and he laughed a few times.
What are we doing, sir? Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, and the brocade official schools are all inexplicable.
The Mongolian generals under the command of the third lady were full of expression, the grassland does not talk about the chaste martyr, if the hostess of his own family can charm the Heavenly Empire, let the Ming open more horse markets, relax the border trade, it would be better.
After the Altan tribute, the imperial court agreed to open up the border trade and the tea and horse market, which was indeed an opportunity to take the Hannaji incident, but behind the scenes, the Mert people in the territory of the Altan Khan Belt exchanged for twenty years of war and countless blood. Whether it is sea trade or border trade, the imperial court has always adopted a ban policy, and in the Ming court, willing to allow me to pay tribute and open border trade is also burdened by years of war.
If the three ladies can achieve the goal without blood, why not?
After a while, the felt curtain was lifted, Qin Lin walked out with a wicked smile, his expression was quite strange, and all the brothers stepped forward to ask, he waved his hand: "Go back to the camp and talk about it!" ”
Qin Cha Xingyuan was set up next to the military tent of the three ladies, Qin Lin returned to the camp, and immediately slapped his face, shouting, "Where is the old monkey Xu Wenchang?" Get out of here! ”
There was silence, no one answered.
"Uncle, I'll find it for you!" Asha smelled the gossip, and his smart eyes sparkled. She was purely afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she took Xu Wenchang's fan and gave it to Rhubarb to smell, and then patted its head.
Wangwang, the big yellow dog swooped out, and soon Xu Wenchang's bark came from a camp tent behind: "Beast, don't bite indiscriminately, oops, the dog bites Lu Dongbin......"
"Mr. Xu, where are you hiding?" Qin Linpi didn't smile, his eyes were like a big bad wolf looking at a little lamb.
Toasting without eating and drinking, Asha stuck out his tongue at Xu Wenchang and called back the big yellow dog.
Xu Wenchang smiled bitterly, was caught by Qin Lin in the military tent, and then invited Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, King Weiling, Ma Bin and other cronies to also come.
"Brother Qin, which play are you singing with the third lady today?" Lu Fatzi's eyebrows and rat eyes are straight.
Qin Lin pointed at Xu Wenchang: "Which play are you singing?" The little widow recruits a kiss! But the protagonist is not my little student, it's this old student with a white beard! ”
Yes? Everyone's eyes were about to fall out, looking left and right, and looked at Xu Wenchang from head to toe seven or eight times, not believing anything.
The third lady of the family is a heroine who holds the power of the army, assisting Altan Khan to govern the grassland, and when she was young, she was known as the first beauty of the grassland, and now she is just in her early thirties, and she is becoming more and more mature and beautiful, and she is as attractive as a ripe fruit, she will look down on Xu Wenchang, a bad old man?
Elder Xu Wen's face turned red and he laughed dryly: "Hehe, the old man was still a little handsome back then......
Everyone laughed in disbelief at first, and then soon couldn't laugh anymore, and took a closer look at Xu Wenchang, who was born with a white face and a beard, a full and round heavenly court, his eyes were bright, and he had a poetry and calligraphy in his belly, which was quite a kind of romantic taste.
At the beginning of the meeting between Xu Wenchang and Qin Lin, he was sloppy and sloppy, and everyone naturally felt that he was hateful, but in recent years, he has been wronged, his madness has almost been cured, and his ambitions have been displayed.
Xu Wenchang was the first talent in Jiangnan when he was young, how many celebrities vied for favor, that is a handsome guy, even if he is old now, as long as he combs his messy hair like a bird's nest and tidies up the goatee under his chin, he is an old handsome guy!
Thinking about it again, the third lady is the widow of Altan Khan, but today she is wearing an eight-treasure crown, a hundred phoenix cloud clothes, and a red bone brocade skirt, dressed as the daughter of the Han family, and everyone suddenly realized.
"Wow, it turns out that the old madman is still hiding this hand, how did you hook up?" Fat Lu slapped Xu Wenchang on the shoulder.
Xu Wenchang was a little distracted, and fragments of memories flashed in his mind.
It was the third year of Wanli, he was fifty-five years old, the sharp edges and corners of his youth, he was hit by reality and his head was bleeding, Hu Zongxian was wrongfully imprisoned, he was also labeled as a strict party, and the poor chest of Wanli Pingrongce, even the owner of the tree planting book could not be exchanged for a copy, and the ambition to serve the country in the early years turned into full of resentment.
Ji Liao, Xuanda, when he was young, he was full of plans to establish immortal achievements on the side of the fortress, the name of the ages, although the hope of making meritorious contributions has long been a dream, he still stubbornly held a bamboo cane to survey the terrain, learn about military conditions and folk customs, accept Li Chengliang's eldest son Li Rusong as an apprentice, and teach the art of war and the art of practicing qi and boiling the body realized in the contract of Zhou Yishen...... Until the old friend Xuanda Governor Wu Dui shogunate, I saw a third lady in a red dress.
She is the princess of Shunyi canonized by the imperial court, and the only concubine after the death of his wife, she took power after the old age of Alta, and she tried her best to maintain the peace of Alta and end the twenty-year war, and will be listed on the top of the history and immortal together with the thunderous names of Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, Wu Dui, and Altan Khan.
Only Xu Wenchang saw loneliness and sadness in her eyes.
It is already unfortunate in the world that the young young Ai married a white-headed old man, but he was still occupied by his maternal grandfather! And since she was a child, she has liked Han books, Han poems, and those elegant things, but Altan Khan is a murderous, rude and fierce steppe hero!
That year, the sixty-eight-year-old Altan Khan was dying, the twenty-six-year-old Third Lady was in her prime, and the fifty-five-year-old Xu Wenchang's life accumulation after ups and downs and the poetry scrolls of Jiangnan talents were undoubtedly a fatal poison for a mature woman like the Third Lady...... Finally, Wu Dui found out all this, as the governor of Xuanda, he was almost crazy, and gave the three ladies eight treasure crowns and Baifeng Yunyi, which was to envelop her to stabilize the frontier and allow Xu Wenchang to teach her poetry, calligraphy and painting, which was also the same consideration, how could it get into an almost uncontrollable situation later?
"I am still here, there are 200,000 people under his command, the third lady is his favorite, and he is also the key person in the overall situation of maintaining peace.
Wu Dui only said this and then closed his mouth.
Xu Wenchang, who fell in love, immediately woke up like a dream, he silently packed his bags, and left Xuanda Biansai overnight, without saying a word of farewell to the third lady.
"I can't hurt her, let alone hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Biansai!" Xu Wenchang said what he had said to Wu Dui after he woke up that year and said it to Qin Lin again.
Finally, Qin Lin and the brothers understood why he looked so unlucky when he met Xu Wenchang in Nanjing, not only because of the ups and downs of his early years, the anger of his ambition that was difficult to pay, but also the frustration of love just now.
Obviously the two are happy with each other but have to withdraw and retreat, although there is a saying that the sword of wisdom is slashed, how many people in the world can do it?
Not only Qin Lin sighed in his heart, but Lu Yuanzhi, who was many mouths and tongues, didn't say a word for a long time, Niu vigorously stretched out his big palm and wiped the corners of his eyes, and even King Welling also proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, love parting, suffering, can't ask for it, and it's also bitter." The eight sufferings of my Buddha and the world are nothing more than that. ”
For the first time, Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali did not laugh at King Welling, but nodded their heads, feeling the same way.
Lu Yuanzhi thought for a while, and said: "Then, now that Altan Khan is dead, there is no chaste martyr on the grassland, and the third lady is a free body, Mr. Xu, cheer up, as long as we find a way to deal with Huang Taiji, and don't ask him to inherit the throne, he will not be able to marry the third lady, and you can have a lover with her and eventually become a family." ”
"Alas~ I can't hurt her, let alone hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Biansai," Xu Wenchang has never been serious with a hippie smile, but now he has a sad face, a desolate and bitter look.
Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali and the others were puzzled, why did Lao Xu say what he just said again?
Qin Lin frowned: "Because of Han Naji?" ”
"The old man's plan really can't be hidden from Chief Qin," Xu Wenchang sighed and nodded bitterly.
Huang Taiji was ambitious, full of hostility to the imperial court, and wanted to raise troops to Koubian, although the imperial court would not be afraid of him, but it was of course best not to let an enemy sit big.
In contrast, the third lady took into account the overall situation, repeatedly restrained the subordinates, and tried her best to maintain the peace brought by the tribute, if she was in power, it would be the luck of the Tumut tribe and the luck of the soldiers and civilians of the Han and Mongolian tribes in the frontier.
The prestige of the third lady is high, Huang Taiji is strong, and he is recognized as the heir of the eldest son, it is not easy to step on Huang Taiji and help the third lady to take the throne, even if you add the big Buddha of the King of Welling, it is far from being as simple as moving the skin of the mouth.
Xu Wenchang calculated accurately, the only variable is to put Hannaji!
At that time, the third lady was going to marry Han Naji, but before she got married, she was occupied by her maternal grandfather Alta, and Hannaji ran to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in a fit of anger.
Ten years have passed, and the frustrated young man Han Naji is now a powerful figure in the Tumut tribe - maybe it was Altan out of compensation, maybe the three ladies once contributed to the trouble, maybe Altan Khan married his wife to help Hannaji's own grandmother live, not only was he not marginalized, but he also grasped the power of the city of Naturalization after being sent back by the imperial court, and had a large army, called Dacheng Taiji.
After my death, the dispute between the three ladies and Huang Taiji became more and more intense, but Han Naji did not make any sound, and behaved unusually low-key.
Xu Wenchang's plan is to reunite the three ladies and the "original couple" Hannaji, so that they have enough strength to deal with Huang Taiji.
"In this way, the three ladies who were close to the imperial court and Huang Taiji, who put Hannaji in power and was bent on starting a war, were suppressed, the peace at the border was maintained, and hundreds of people in Han and Mongolia lived and ......worked in peace and contentment," Xu Wenchang said, his eyes brightened and he was immersed in a certain self-sacrificing mood.
Everyone sighed in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say.
"Pig, pig, you're stupid like a pig!" Qin Lin suddenly scolded, pointed at Xu Wenchang and said angrily: "You have calculated everything, even if you miss it!" ”
