Chapter 317: I'll Look at Looks, Believe It or Not
Zhu Xieyuan led the reinforcements and ran wildly all the way, and finally caught up with Jinyiwei on July 9, the sixth year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse.
As soon as they met, Zhu Xieyuan said, "Lord Zhu, why are you running so fast?" Are you fighting a war or sightseeing? Along the way, the old man was tired, and he had to march and receive prisoners, and there were really a lot of troubles. ”
Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "It is precisely because of a minister like Lord Zhu who is brave and loyal to the imperial court as a backup that I dare to advance lightly and boldly and take the rebels by surprise." Otherwise, once the rebels are prepared, the casualties of Jinyiwei will definitely be not small. Therefore, the pacification of the southwest, Lord Zhu has made great contributions. ”
Zhu Xieyuan was a famous politician and military strategist in the late Ming Dynasty, and the official was the governor of the five provinces, and he had already seen his reputation quite lightly, but Zhu Youcheng gave him a lot of credit for the suppression of the Lu'an Rebellion, and he was also quite pleased in his heart.
Zhu Xieyuan was overjoyed, and introduced the generals he brought to Zhu Youcheng one by one, hoping that he could bring these hard-working generals with him.
Most of the generals who can lead the troops are not stupid, and they guessed Zhu Xieyuan's intentions, stepped forward to salute Zhu Youcheng, said some compliments, and became familiar first.
After all, Zhu Youcheng is the right attendant of the military department, and he and Zhu Xieyuan presided over the affairs of the southwest counterinsurgency. If you don't build a good relationship, Zhu Youcheng's hands will shake, and these generals will be miserable.
Zhu Youcheng saw that these generals were in the dust, his face was very tired, and he was also quite moved in his heart, and returned the salute one by one, and greeted them warmly.
Although Zhu Xieyuan did not discriminate against ethnic minority Tusi like other Han officials, he was still divided into three, six, nine and so on, and he first introduced the Han generals before he began to introduce the minority generals.
When introducing the reputation of Tusipu in Amizhou (now Kaiyuan City, Yunnan), Zhu Youcheng glanced at this person.
I saw that Pu was in his early forties, and he was a short, strong man with a full face. He now had a deferential look on his face. But there was a gleam in his eyes from time to time.
Zhu Youcheng's heart moved, this time he really encountered the culprit of the Shapu Rebellion.
The Shapu Rebellion started in Chongzhen for five years, and it did not end until the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, which lasted sixteen years, making the stormy Ming regime even worse.
The more deferential he is, the more vigilant Zhu Youcheng becomes. Because for careerists. Deference is the best disguise.
Along the way, Zhu Youcheng has seen many toasts. And no matter how big or small the power is, there is always something unruly in Tusi's words that can't be concealed. On the contrary, Pu Fame is humble in his words and cautious in his actions, confirming his identity as a careerist.
Zhu Youcheng smiled coldly and asked, "Yiren?" ”
Pu Ming's heart trembled, and sure enough, this was the trouble his identity brought to him again.
Zhu Xieyuan was the same at the beginning. As soon as he heard that he was a Yiren, Zhu Xieyuan and his generals almost turned against him. Thanks to his very good forbearance skills, and the fact that the rebels of the same root and clan are more ruthless than other armies, this slowly dissolves the doubts in everyone's hearts.
He was about to open his mouth to explain a few sentences, but Zhu Xieyuan was afraid that he would be wronged, so he hurriedly said: "Although the famous Tusi is a Yi person, he has always been interested in the Ming Dynasty, and this time he quelled the rebellion. He made great efforts and made great achievements. ”
Zhu Youcheng is full of respect for Zhu Xieyuan. Although he knew that Zhu Xieyuan had seen the wrong person, he didn't point it out, but just said: "Lord Zhu, this official doesn't hate Yiren, but he hates Yiren Tusi - however, this kind of eye-catching thing will soon disappear." For I want to initiate the Holy One. All the autonomous areas of the Yi people were brought under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the situation of a country within a country would never be tolerated. People are miserable, in the rich and prosperous Ming Dynasty, but they can't enjoy the glory and dreams of the Ming people. The official will never allow this kind of thing to happen, and must guide the Yi people to the road of equality, freedom, civilization and law-abiding. ”
Pu Ming's heart was horrified. The reason why he made efforts to fight the rebels was to take advantage of the chaos to expand the military power in his hands and integrate the ranks of the rebels.
However, raising soldiers requires real money. If Da Ming really implements the policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, the more soldiers he has, the more unlucky he will be. Because most of the soldiers he raised were disgraceful, the military department would not allocate him that much salary.
Pu Mingsheng laughed dryly: "The will of heaven is unpredictable, who dares to speculate on the holy will." ”
Zhu Youcheng stared at his eyes and said word by word: "My recital has already been transferred to the Holy Lord, I am afraid that the Holy Decree is on the way here." As long as you dare to wait, you will definitely wait for the answers you need. ”
Pu Mingsheng was furious, and said: "What don't I dare, Lao Tzu is not a thief who is extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan!" ”
A bewitching woman hurriedly stepped forward to play the round.
She said a blessing to Zhu Youcheng, and then glanced at the reputation of the court, and said: "Husband, don't be nameless, Lord Zhu is also for your good, I hope you don't have a bad heart for the court because of the matter of changing the land and returning to the stream." ”
After speaking, she turned to Zhu Youcheng and said, "Lord Zhu, my husband is a rough person who can't speak, don't be like him." ”
As he spoke, he also threw a wink at Zhu Youcheng.
Zhu Youcheng knew that this woman was one of the masterminds of the Shapu Rebellion, and Wan Sisi, the wife of Pu Ming. A year after the rebellion, Pu Ming died in panic. Wan Sisi not only did not change her mind and return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, but jumped out and rebelled, and later recruited Sha Dingzhou as her son-in-law, and her mother-in-law and son-in-law continued to cause trouble in Yunnan.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Youcheng was furious and shouted: "This is an official meeting between the two armies, how can an irrelevant woman be allowed to interfere?" Left and right, forked this woman out, and rectified the Fa on the spot! ”
The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard were never afraid of things, and at that moment, two guards stepped forward, set up Wan Sisi and walked out.
Pu Mingsheng almost jumped up, and when the two brocade guards saw this, they took two steps forward, their eyes fixed on him.
Pu Mingsheng estimated that these two brocade guards were burly and muscular, like practicing a family, and if they really wanted to conflict, they would definitely not be able to please them. Therefore, he stayed aside very sensibly, and just glared at Zhu Youcheng with murderous eyes.
It's not that he has the guts to provoke Zhu Youcheng, but to hide his ambitions.
If Zhu Youcheng killed his wife in front of him, he could still laugh out loud, then even Zhu Xieyuan, who already regarded him as a confidant, would suspect that he had two hearts, because such a city government is not something that ordinary traitors can achieve, it is something that only traitors can do.
Although Zhu Xieyuan is not used to Wan Sisi's coquettishness, Pu Mingming is a general under him after all, and he has the love of incense, so he can't ignore it.
Zhu Xieyuan persuaded: "Lord Zhu, this Wan clan is indeed to blame, and he is innocent of death, but God has the virtue of a good life, and it is a great joy for our two armies to meet. Lord Zhu should give Ben Du a face, how about letting Wan go? ”
Zhu Youcheng originally wanted to take this opportunity to kill the rebel accomplices of Pu Ming, force the rebellion against Pu Ming, and then take the opportunity to exterminate this great scourge of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Xieyuan opened his mouth, and this face could not be denied.
Zhu Youcheng waved his hand, and the two brocade guards pushed behind him, pushing Wan Sisi to Pu Mingming.
Pu Mingming was pretending to be a grandson, and he didn't see Wan Sisi coming, but Wan Sisi had a close contact with the ground, and a piece of oily skin rubbed off her face, and blood flowed.
Ke Qingqing was about to step forward to treat her, but Zhu Youcheng raised his hand to stop her action.
Seeing that his wife's face was injured, Pu Mingsheng hurriedly took two steps forward, picked her up, and walked out.
Zhu Youcheng said coldly: "Do you want to go like this?" ”
Pu Mingsheng said angrily: "People have also been beaten, and they have been injured, what do you want?" ”
Zhu Xieyuan shouted: "General Pu, your wife is purely self-defeating, and she can't complain about others. Lord Zhu has a lot, let your wife go, you should thank Lord Zhu. ”
Hearing Zhu Xieyuan's words, Pu Mingsheng had no choice but to say in a rough voice: "Lord Xie Zhu." ”
There was no emotion in his bland words.
Zhu Youcheng said: "You're welcome, I just want to inform all the generals present, including General Pu, as well as Lord Zhu, that this official will hold a banquet in the Jinyiwei camp to entertain all the guests who come from afar." The feast will begin at the beginning of the hour (now at 5 p.m.), so you must all come, or the official will be displeased. ”
Seeing off Zhu Xieyuan and his party, King Xin asked curiously: "Brother Cheng, I think you are a little bit targeted at the toast named Pu what today, why is this?" ”
Of course, Zhu Youcheng would not sue him, he knew history, and Pu Mingming and Wan Sisi were the masterminds of another rebellion.
He pretended to be mysterious and said, "I can look at the face, do you believe it or not?" ”
Although Shin is sixteen years old, he still lacks immunity to things like strange powers.
King Xin clapped his hands and smiled: "If Brother Cheng says that you don't know anything, then I don't believe it." ”
"Okay, let me ask a question, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", among the five tiger generals of Shu Kingdom, who died the least worthless?"
"Guan Yu." Ke Qingqing replied.
"Zhang Fei." This is Chen Guoqi's answer.
"Brother Cheng's problem, it's not that simple." King Shin muttered.
King Xin frowned and pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Wei Yan, right? ”
Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "It's still our family's smart house." Guan Yu was defeated at the hands of Lu Meng and lost unjustly; Zhang Fei died in a drunken accident, and he took the blame on himself; Wei Yan was unlucky on a bone and died the most worthless. ”
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was already quite popular at this time, and everyone was familiar with the stories in it.
Now that they heard that Zhu Youcheng had new ideas, they couldn't help but be interested, and they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"When Zhuge Liang first saw Wei Yan, he wanted to slaughter him, because Zhuge Liang found that Wei Yan had a backbone in the back of his head, and he would definitely rebel in the future. Later, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhang Plain, Wei Yan really rebelled, and was killed by Ma Dai with Zhuge Liang's strategy left before his death, otherwise Shu Han would be in danger. That's why I said that Wei Yan was unlucky on a bone and died the most worthless. ”
King Xin understood what Zhu Youcheng meant, and asked, "Could it be that Brother Cheng just saw that there was a backbone in the back of his head, so he targeted him everywhere?" ”
Zhu Youcheng nodded, and said solemnly: "The backbone behind Pu Ming's head is more prominent than Wei Yan, and the disaster will inevitably be greater than Wei Yan in the future." Today, I am targeting the general reputation, just to avoid a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued......)
