Chapter 142: Appreciation from the Emperor
After sending Xu Yan away, Yan Song picked up the fold and walked outside with his tall body. Yan Shifan was immediately angry, stepped in front of Yan Song, and said angrily: "Dad, are you so anxious to give Xu Huating credit?" ”
Yan Song's pale shou eyebrows were raised, and he smiled contemptuously, "What if I don't go?" ”
"Hold it down!"
"Phew!" Yan Song smacked his son fiercely, "Stupid, if we don't say it, others can not say it?" Finally, a victory has come, and His Majesty should be happy. ”
"I'm just afraid that Xu Huating will be happier!"
Yan Shifan's big fat face kept trembling, of course he knew that he couldn't stop it, but he was unwilling to let Xu Jie's score, with the southeast victory, Xu Jie's position would only be more solid, and if he wanted to deal with him, it would be even more difficult.
"Alas, Shifan, we have all underestimated the situation in the southeast, go back and think about it, who is available, who else can be wooed, and you can't let it go anymore."
After speaking, Yan Song waved his hand, pulled his son away, and strode outside.
There was already a two-person lift outside, Yan Song sat up slowly, saying that it was carried by two people, but it was just two wooden poles wearing a chair, but don't look so simple, among all the courtiers, this is still the first one.
The sedan chair man walked fast and steadily, through the layers of golden and brilliant buildings and palaces, until he came to the front of the Yuxi Palace, and the two people carried him, and an old eunuch in a red robe and white hair walked out from inside.
It's none other than the palm seal of the Inner Court Celebrant Supervisor, the head of 100,000 eunuchs, and the chief manager of McFumai, who is known as the Prime Minister of the Inner Court.
This old eunuch is not simple, when he was in the palace, he served Jiajing, and along the way, all the old people of the year withered, and he could still stand. The more you live, the more moisturized it is, which shows the depth of the Tao!
"Yo, our family was about to look for it, but I didn't expect the elder to arrive, you are really an unpredictable prophet." McFuge smiled and naturally helped Yan Song get out of the sedan chair. said intimately: "Pavilion Elder, the master has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Well, there's Grandpa Lao." As soon as he reached out, he took out a silver ticket from his cuff, and stuffed it into McFuku's sleeve.
McFuge carried Yan Song inside, as if chattering. said casually: "Lu Taibao came here for half an hour, and he talked happily with his master, and the master was happy, and our family was relieved to be a slave." ”
Yan Song nodded slightly, sure enough, if he didn't come to deliver the letter, Lu Bing would also come, it seemed that he had come to the right place.
Step into the house that I don't know how many times I've come. Raising his head suddenly, there was a Taoist priest with a thin face sitting on the white jade altar in the middle. I saw that this person was wearing a navy blue fine sermon robe, fat and big, wearing clouds under his feet, and a bright yellow silk ribbon tied around his waist.
Look at the face again. Thin eyebrows, white skin, three long beards, fluttering and sprinkling, only the tips of the eyebrows and the corners of the mouth are a little upturned. It gives people the feeling of being empty and high, which is very in line with the identity of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.
This is the father of the 60 million people of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, who has lived in Xiyuan for more than ten years!
Yan Song glanced at it, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The old minister visited His Majesty, and saw that His Majesty was overjoyed. ”
It can be seen from Jiajing's dress that this is a professional veteran, a part-time emperor, and his interest in immortality is far above that of the government. Yan Song opened his mouth and poked the tip of Jiajing's heart, Jiajing smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his narrow eyes looked to the side, and suddenly a eunuch held the embroidery pier and sent it to Yan Song's back.
This is also the only treatment among the courtiers, although the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty did not have to kneel to listen to the holy decree like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but at most they stood and replied, and they could sit down, not the high morality, not the close ministers of the Son of Heaven.
Even Lu Bing, the Jinyi Guard Taibao who was standing on the side, did not have this qualification, Yan Songcheng was sincerely afraid, thanked him, and then slowly sat down.
As soon as his buttocks touched the embroidered pier, he heard Jiajing say quietly: "Yan Ge Lao, I have been meditating in retreat recently, and I can always see a piece of white light, and among the white light, there is a white-haired fairy riding a deer and a cane to come and tell me that there is joy in the world, I don't know what explanation Elder Ge thinks it should be?" ”
Yan Song listened, and laughed secretly in his heart, he could die if he spoke well!
What kind of deer riding immortals, isn't it the South Pole, occupying a south, it is clear that there are good things in the southeast. Lu Bingdu stood aside, and said that it was told by the gods, and this person can really deceive himself.
Who let the boss take care of this, Yan Song hurriedly got up and knelt down, tears flowing.
"The saint's dedication to cultivation, sincerity to the sky, and being able to get the guidance of the immortals is a good omen for the prosperity of the country and the eternal solidity of the society." Yan Song said the same as the truth, and in his old eyes, he squeezed out a few tears, which sincerely made Jiajing believe it.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has just received a report, saying that it is a great victory in the southeast, the old minister is still in Nahan, in recent years, he has lost more and won less, why did he suddenly show his might, it turned out to be the blessing of His Majesty's respect for heaven and virtue, and the old minister is for the common people and the people, thank Your Majesty for his holy virtue!"
……
is really worthy of being a scholar, telling lies so impassionedly, and being able to implicate the emperor with things that can't be beaten by eight poles, this skill really makes Lu Bing sigh to himself.
"Okay, don't just recite the happy song, tell me how the fight was?"
Yan Song nodded hurriedly, picked up the recital in his hand, gasped for breath, and began to talk to Jiajing.
Although Jinyiwei has a report, after Tang Shunzhi's deletion, some key places have been hidden, of course, Yan Song is not clear, but it does not prevent him from telling the story.
The old guy fused the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin together, talking about the mouth like a river, the head is the way, and the big war is full of fun and thrilling, although Jiajing knows that he made it up, but he still listens to it with relish, and can't help nodding: to see through the spies, to be angry about An Yuandao's escape, to cheer for Tang Shen's insistence, to rejoice in the siege of the army, and to give the head of the Japanese chieftain a high-five......
"Good, good, great!"
Jiajing leaned on the gossip cloud bed, was silent for a while, and suddenly his face changed, and he scolded: "They all say that they are cunning and treacherous, fierce, bloodthirsty, and what they say is like demons and monsters, and they are all liars!" Two thousand new troops, a low-grade official, dare to fight and kill the Japanese invaders, in the final analysis, it is still the courtiers of the southeast who are ungrateful and unrighteous, greedy for life and afraid of death, afraid of the enemy like a tiger, should be killed, all should be killed! ”
is worthy of the moody Daojun Emperor, and in an instant, he aimed the spearhead at the officials in the southeast.
Lu Bing stood up and sighed: "Your Majesty, the eight lambs in the southeast really deserve to die, but to tell the truth, these new troops are not ordinary?" ”
"Oh?" Jiajing became interested and said with a smile: "What else is not to be paid attention to?" ”
"Your Majesty, do you remember that at the beginning of the year, the Japanese invaded Jiading? "
"Well, there is such a thing, could it be that there is a connection between the two?"
Lu Bing said with a smile: "These new soldiers are all refugees, and they have a deep blood feud with the Japanese Kou, so they are not afraid of war, not afraid of war!" Moreover, the formation they used was special, and it was painstakingly studied by Tang Shilang. ”
"Tang Shunzhi?" Jiajing asked hesitantly.
"That's right!" Lu Bingzan said: "This Lord Tang is really a ghost, he actually used bamboo as a weapon to restrain the long knife of the Japanese Kou, which can be called a divine weapon and invincible." ”
Jiajing hesitated again and asked, "Bamboo can also be used as a weapon?" I haven't heard of it. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has prepared two pieces, do you want to see them?"
"What's the sale, don't get it quickly." Jiajing scolded with a smile.
Not long after, two little eunuchs carried wolf whisks, and two little eunuchs held bamboo spears and bamboo shields, and placed them in front of Jiajing.
Jiajing walked down from the Dharma platform, circled around a few things twice, shook his head, sat down again, and smiled contemptuously, "The magic weapon of bullshit is not forced to be helpless!" Jiajing narrowed his eyes, his white fingers kept flicking, and he scolded angrily: "Who can not use a good weapon?" What is the difference between holding bamboo against the enemy and chopping wood as a soldier? It's just such a soldier who has made meritorious contributions, and the rest of the wastes who run away from the wind should wipe their necks if they have a little shame! ”
Jiajing was furious again, Lu Bing and Yan Song both knew what Jiajing had identified, and the ten cows couldn't pull it back, they didn't dare to say much, and finally Jiajing calmed down, and his attention had shifted from the battle to this new army.
"Lu Bing, tell me how the new army came to be."
"Yes!"
Lu Bing talked about the process of reetting refugees, building salt and iron ponds, selecting workers as soldiers, and training hard. He also concluded: "This team can have strong combat effectiveness, thanks to several points, first of all, the source of soldiers is good, and they are all children of good families; Second, the training methods provided by Tang Shunzhi were effective; Once again, the main general Lu Bo was loyal and brave, and he trained the army to obtain the law; Finally, it was the salt and iron pond inspection Tang Shen to manage the canal, and the silver collected was sufficient, and I heard that during the training, the recruits could eat meat almost every day, and they could only train good soldiers if they were willing to put down their capital. ”
Whoever made Tang Yi young, he could only put all the credit on his father.
After listening to this, Jiajing couldn't help but fall silent.
It is not difficult to find a source of good soldiers, although the training method is rare, it is not too unusual, as for the main general Daming, it is not uncommon, the most critical one is silver, and only with money can things be done, this is Jiajing has been the emperor for more than 30 years, and the biggest experience is the greatest experience.
He has been living in Xiyuan for more than ten years, and he has not seen courtiers, but he can firmly grasp the world in his hands, relying on nothing more than firmly grasping financial power and personnel.
It is really rare that a small official can build a canal and pay 100,000 taels of tax and silver to supply the needs of military training. If such a person can get around, the cost of cultivating the Tao will be settled.
"Do you know that patrol Tang Shen?"
Of course, Lu Bing knew that Tang Yi gave him a lot of ways to make a fortune, but these things were not easy to bring up, so he could only push and say: "Just patrolling, the official position is too small, maybe Xu Ge knows that Huating and Taicang are neighbors!" ”
"Well, go and call Xu Jie."
The little eunuch ran to deliver the decree, Jiajing took the notebook and kept looking at it, although the credit to Tang Shen was reduced and reduced, but Jiajing could still see that Tang Shen planned a big battle with the Japanese and led the troops to hold on, these two points alone are not something ordinary people can do. can fight, can collect money, is simply a perfect official.
Jiajing's curiosity suddenly became extremely strong, and he must reuse this talent! (To be continued.) )
