Chapter 6 Lord Yue, you don't care about yourself too much
"Queen Mother, the slave maid thinks that Lord Yue has made a lot of contributions in his tenure as governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and he has also exterminated the traitors of the Dragon Slaying Gang. However, there are also many mistakes, for example, Uncle Guo's death in Hangzhou, although Lord Yue did not know about it before, but there are some responsibilities for poor guarding. There is also the matter of exterminating the Dragon Slaying Gang, which is also a bit too reckless, Lord Yue said in the fold that it was he who personally used himself as bait to lure the traitors to the governor's line, set up an ambush, and the inside and outside should be combined to exterminate the rebels. But it was extremely thrilling, and even Lord Yue's protectors and Cao Gonggong's forbidden army were almost completely killed and wounded. From this, it can also be imagined that the battle was so fierce, and the slightest mistake would make Lord Yue sacrifice his life for the country. Lord Yue is a minister appointed by the first emperor, so he is so lightly suspected, so he disregards his own life, isn't he responsible for the trust of the first emperor. It's good if he wins, but what if he loses? Have you ever thought about the consequences, the minister of the imperial court was killed by traitors, the world will inevitably move, I am now a Ming Dynasty, itself is internal and external troubles, how can I withstand such a blow. After all, the Dragon Slaying Gang is a disease of scabies, and it can't set off any storms, to put it bluntly, Lord Yue is also greedy for merit. He rushed to attack and advance, in order to make small contributions, to the point that he disregarded his own life and the country's social welfare, and even if the merits and demerits were offset, they were greater than the merits. In this way, His Majesty issued an edict to blame, it is not an exaggeration, if he is praised, wouldn't it encourage him to take risks again, last time it was lucky, and the reinforcements came in time, but if it was a step slower, how could it be good? At most, it is a crime of Pei Xuan for delaying the military plane, but ten Pei Xuan's lives are not worth a former emperor's minister. Therefore, the old slave thought that His Majesty should order a severe punishment. Warn Yue Su that if there is something like this again, he must not take the slightest credit and put himself in danger. He is different from ordinary civil officials and military generals, and is an important minister of the court. As a matter of social safety, how can we lose. Zou Yi talked eloquently, and when he said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "As for whether he was transferred to Sichuan and what kind of official position he was given, the old slave thought that Lord Yue would go to Sichuan." It is also a meritorious service, and it is only given to a Sichuan governor. It can be regarded as giving him enough face. If the rebels in Sichuan are pacified, it will be regarded as a meritorious achievement, and whether the emperor will praise him again will be too late to talk about it after he has completed his great success. ”
Yue Su's merits have become sins, but at first glance, it sounds like it is indeed reasonable. You're a dignified governor. Entrusted to the minister, the pillar of the imperial court, went to play with a group of grass robbers, in addition to folding his own worth. If there is a mistake, it will cause the imperial court to suffer a great loss. It is conceivable that if Yue Su is killed by the traitors, the world will inevitably be shaken, this is not an era of peace, the northwest provinces are set, the news spreads in the past, and one will disappear the other. The Rogue's momentum will grow even stronger.
This is indeed the case, but Lord Yue is looking for the Dragon Slaying Gang to play with his life. That is also helpless, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's will to solve the case within a time limit. Can Yue Su do this? Lord Yue understands that if he can't solve the case within the time limit and can't give the Queen Mother an explanation, then he really can't clear his name.
The situation is like this, but the court just let you solve the case, and it didn't let you play with your life, your life is so precious, you can't touch it with a broken clay jar.
Zhang Yan listened to Zou Yi's story, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face, this method just solved her urgent need. I don't reward Yue Su, and let you make meritorious service and go to Sichuan to suppress bandits, anyway, I will do all the bad guys, and I will give the reward to my son to do, my son will be a good person, and my son will buy people's hearts, isn't it just right. Son Zhu Ciyan is already seven years old, and he will be able to go to the court to officially exercise next year, although he doesn't say anything about it, but when he is ten years old, he will announce that he will reward you Yue Su in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and you will not be allowed to let your Lord Yue be grateful to Dade. Of course, if you can wait until your son is sixteen years old and officially come back to the government, it would be even better, the throne is stable, and you Yue Su helps to govern well, maybe you can ensure that my son becomes the king of Zhongxing.
The abacus in Empress Dowager Zhang's stomach knocked on the bangbang, and said with a smile: "Zou Qing's words are good, although Yue Qing has merit, but he has also had it, just because he disregarded his own safety, disregarded the safety of the society, and set an example of risk, even if he has the merit of exterminating the Dragon Slaying Gang, he can't make up for it." It's so decided, you go to draw up a decree, reprimand Yue Su, and order him not to do so in the future, otherwise he will be severely punished. Let him make meritorious service and go to Sichuan to be the governor of Sichuan. By the way, all the things he praised and rewarded the meritorious soldiers were all followed, and those who should be promoted were promoted, those who should be rewarded with silver were rewarded with silver, and those who should be compensated were compensated. He sent so much silver, which was nothing more than a penny. ”
As for whether Yue Su is loyal, Zhang Yan now thinks that she is still loyal, but she has now decided that she will be a wicked person to the end, and a good person will be left to her son. After all, if Yue Su really had the intention to rebel, he wouldn't have sent so much silver. With this silver, the imperial court will not worry about military salaries for at least a few years.
"The old slave obeys."
When Zou Yi left Cining Palace, his heart was full of joy, because everything was under his control, Lord Yue continued to be loyal to the country, continued to serve the country, and solved the traitors in Sichuan, and the country would be much more stable. At his age, he can't sit in this position for a few years, before he dies, just enjoy it, whether it is Liu Mingguo or Cao Huachun in the future, you can think of it.
Back to the celebrant supervisor, Zou Yi quickly drafted the will and handed it over to the cabinet, and after the cabinet minister saw it, he had nothing to say, so he did it. Besides, isn't the rebuke of your Lord Yue also cherished?
Thunder and rain are all Jun'en.
The eunuch left Beijing and hurried to Zhejiang. It can be said that before the will arrived, Lord Yue already knew the above contents.
Yang Yishan's secret letter arrived in Yue Su's hands as early as two days ago. Yue Su has now returned to Hangzhou, and the following officials will do the work of purging the remnants of the Dragon Gang. As soon as the secret letter arrived, after Yue Su read it, he couldn't help but laugh.
In the study, Jiang Jie sat down, and when he saw Yue Su laughing, he couldn't help but say, "Why are adults laughing? ”
"Sir is really a man of God, after the song is sent out. Didn't Mr. say that the imperial court would not praise me, but would reprimand me, saying that I was greedy for merit and reckless, and disregarded my own safety and society. Unexpectedly. I really did what the gentleman said. Yue Su was not only a little annoyed, but said with a smile.
It turned out that after Cao Huachun left Huzhou with the folds, Jiang Jie had a conversation with Yue Su, Jiang Jie said that the imperial court would never reward the adults, but would have reprimanded the adults for the crime of greed for merit. At that time, Yue Su also asked Jiang Jie what the reason was. Jiang Jie didn't answer immediately, just asked Yue Su to wait. Wait for the decree to come down.
"Sir. How did you guess? Yue Su asked.
"Your Excellency is already a very popular minister, and you are about to reach the point where there is no reward and no seal, you say that you have made such a contribution now, so that the Queen Mother will be crowned again. The adult is now the Taibao, and then there is the Taifu, the Taishi, this title, the Queen Mother still keeps it for her son to seal it. How could it be that he would be sealed now. And in the future, adults don't know what else to make, and at that time, how will they be sealed? It's really to the point where there is no official seal. How terrible that must be......" Jiang Jie smiled at first, and then his face became solemn.
"Yes......" Yue Su nodded, "This governor is already a very powerful minister, and fame and wealth are already outside my body to me. The first emperor knew the kindness of the encounter, but he has not yet repaid it, and the governor must repay the first emperor's kindness with a useful body. A gentleman's words. Wake up the Governor and the way to come. Ben knew what to do. ”
"Hehe......" Yue Su laughed, and then said, "Let's pack up in a few days." Get ready to go to Sichuan. This governor has long wanted to purge the rogues and return me to a peaceful and prosperous era in the Ming Dynasty. But before he can go, he has one more thing to do. ”
"What's the matter?" Jiang Jie asked puzzled.
"That man is a great general, this governor must come from Pei Xuan." After Yue Su finished speaking, he laughed.
The world-famous general that Yue Su said is naturally Pei Xuan's righteous son Huzi. Pei Xuan has been recuperating from his injuries, and Yue Su is not embarrassed to mention this matter to him, now everyone will be in Hangzhou for a while, and the holy decree will come soon, it is to let himself go to Sichuan to suppress bandits, if he doesn't mention it now, when will he wait.
Early the next morning, Yue Su sent someone to the General Soldier's Mansion and invited Pei Xuan to take Huzi over to dinner. The governor invited him to a banquet, how could Pei Xuan not come, but he didn't understand what Yue Su meant by letting Huzi go with him. But if you don't understand, you have to go.
At that moment, Pei Xuan took Huzi to the governor's line, and the soldiers outside the line entered the door to spread the word, and after a while, Yue Su personally went out to greet him. Pei Xuan and Huzi gave Yue Su a salute, said a few polite words, and the three of them entered the mansion together and came to the flower hall.
On the flower hall, there are two tables of banquets, and on one table, there are Jin Cicada, Yin Zhu, Tong Xuan, Tie Qiu, Li Haoran, and Li Haoquan. The other table is Yue Su, Jiang Jie and the Pei family's father and son.
Yue Su has always been not too stubborn, and his subordinates often eat with him, which is nothing. When they arrived in the hall, the four of them sat down and exchanged greetings again, Yue Su raised his wine glass and did it first. Pei Xuan's father and son and Jiang Jie also raised their glasses and drank together.
With a glass of wine in his stomach, Yue Su said: "General Pei, Master Pei, this governor invited the two of you to come to the house today, in fact, I thank you to the two. In the last battle, thanks to the great help of the two of them, they forgot to die to save the life of the governor. Originally, I wanted to invite the two of you to come over earlier, but General Pei was injured and was afraid of inconvenience, so it has been delayed until now. Come, let's have another drink, this glass of wine is a thank you two for saving your life. ”
At this moment, the subordinates had already filled the wine glasses of the four people, and Yue Su picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Lord Yue was polite, and Pei Xuan was of course even more polite, and he picked up the wine glass with Huzi and drank another glass. Then Pei Xuan said: "Yue Shuai is really polite, leading troops to reinforce is really a matter of the last general's business, how can I thank you." The last general did not rush to reinforcements according to the time specified by the adults, and fell into a dangerous situation for the adults, and he was really ashamed, and the adults did not punish him, and the last general was already grateful. ”
"General Pei, where is this, originally, the distance from Hangzhou to Huzhou is not close, so it is a little difficult for the general to come in such a short time. If the general can arrive at the most critical moment, he has already done his best. Moreover, in order to rescue the governor and defend against the rebels, the general even sacrificed his most beloved BMW to his life, and the governor was very unhappy. A glass of water and wine, talking about the heart, and hoping that General Pei will not dislike it. After Yue Su finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass again.
One more drink for four. But Yue Su has never entered the topic, and he must not come as soon as he opens his mouth. Although he is a person, he has to get by on the face, and he is impeccable, otherwise, the fierce general brother is dissatisfied, and he will not be able to work in the future.
This time, Yue Su looked at Huzi and said, "General Pei Xiao, his strength is infinite, and his martial arts are world-renowned, which is really admirable. Ben Du is trapped, all thanks to the little general to help him, come, Ben Du toast you a cup. ”
"This ...... It's a small scene...... Something else...... The little ones dare not boast...... But is there a fight...... I'm really not afraid of people...... "Huzi is not very good at saying such things on such a scene, when he went out, Pei Xuan had already told him not to talk nonsense. If you can talk less, you will talk less, and if you can not speak, you will not speak. But now it was the Governor who toasted, and he came up with a flattery, praising Huzi in a daze, and he didn't know what to say for a while. But you can't talk about it, so I finally held back such a statement.
Before he finished his words, Pei Xuan on the side stepped on his feet angrily, and scolded in his heart, "Why are you talking so much, just say thank you." ”
Pei Xuan's foot was not lightly stepped on, and Huzi was in pain at the moment, and he couldn't help but let out an "oops". His voice was also loud, and the whole flower hall heard it, and everyone turned their heads to look at Huzi together.
"General Pei, what are you ......?" Yue Su asked with a smile on his face.
"My dad doesn't know why...... Step on me below......" Huzi said rather aggrieved.
"Da Shuai......" Pei Xuan hurriedly stood up and said: "Xiao Er's mouth is open, it is very disrespectful, and the last general is here, and he will make amends to Da Shuai on his behalf." ”
"Where is this...... Yue Su shook his head and smiled: "General Pei is too worried, sit down quickly." To tell the truth, the Governor still admires the straightforwardness of the little general. ”
"Thank you, Sir." Pei Xuan sat down, glared at Huzi fiercely, and said, "Thank you for being handsome." ”
"Oh......" Huzi hurriedly clenched his fists, and said angrily: "Thank you, Dashuai......" In fact, he didn't understand why he wanted to thank him.
"General Pei, don't be so restrained, Ling Zun is too cautious. Come, let's have this toast......" Yue Su raised his glass.
"Good. Dry! Huzi hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and before Yue Su could put the wine glass to his mouth, he had already drunk the wine in the glass.
Pei Xuan was even more angry when he watched it on the side, and scolded secretly in his heart, "This kid is really too disproportionate." ”
However, what made Pei Xuan even more angry was still to come.
After Yue Su finished drinking the wine in the cup, he put down the wine glass and said, "The little general is really a good amount of wine, and he is really a tiger father without a dog." ”
"That's ......" Huzi shook his head and said: "I have a good amount of wine, what is this wine, I usually drink it from a bowl at home, but when my father came, he didn't tell me not to drink more, at most three or four glasses." Otherwise, the handsome man is so bold, I will definitely have to return the ten bowls of the adult! ”
