It was at this time that there was a war in Liangguang, the Gutian rebels were rising again, the southern Xinjiang was surging, the court was in a panic, and many commanders were unable to suppress it. Although the two provinces were at war with each other, the situation was different, and because Guangdong was located on the southeast coast and was a remote place, it used to be a place of exile, and thieves and pirates were rampant and the people were poor, so it was naturally easy to rebel. Guangxi, on the other hand, often rioted because ethnic minorities did not submit to the control of the Han Chinese, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also in most of the previous dynasties. Some people proposed to let Lu Bing go on the expedition, but others proposed to restart Wang Shouren.

Although Lu Bing has had a great victory, this is not a great achievement compared to Wang Shouren's hundred victories, and the reason why someone can recommend it is because of Lu Bing's super popularity. What's more, Lu Bing had a history of making Zhu Houyu unhappy after the big victory, so Zhu Houxi was a little worried, and let him master less if he could control less military power.

Now that Lu Bing has Shandong's regimental training in his hands, it is enough to make Zhu Houxi uneasy, how can Lu Bing be in charge of a large number of soldiers and horses again. The eagle that had just been subdued, Zhu Houxi categorically would not let his wings harden again. Zhu Houxi was worried that if Lu Bing led the crowd to fight in Liangguang, and then he would fight with the soldiers and horses of Shandong and the north and south, leaving the capital and going straight to the south of the Yangtze River, he was afraid that the world of his Zhu family would have to change his surname and change to the Lu family.

Zhu Houxi is extremely conflicted and suspicious, if you ask him who he trusts the most, he will not hesitate to say Lu Bing, if you ask him who he doesn't trust, he will think for a long time, not that he can't think of it but there are too many people, he can't say it for a while, he has to think about who is good first. Lu Bing is also among them, so Zhu Houxi trusts Lu Bing. But he doubted Lu Bing and guarded against his words and deeds, this was not aimed at Lu Bing, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was like this to everyone.

At this time, Wang Shouren was sick. But for the country and the people, he still took his life with illness, and he didn't go to the two Guangzhous without a word. Zhu Houyu learned that Wang Shouren had transferred soldiers and horses in Qingjiangpu in order to save the driver, although there was something inappropriate, but it also showed from the side that his prestige in the army was also extremely high, so Zhu Houxi's suspicious mistake was committed again.

His thinking has always been different from ordinary people, he does not regard the rescue as loyalty and bravery, but as the obsession with the former emperor Zhu Houzhao. And he thinks that since saving the driver can kill the soldiers and horses, then the rebellion can also be. However, compared with Lu Bing and Wang Shouren, Zhu Houxi is more at ease with Wang Shouren. After all, he is an old minister, and Wang Shouren, who is nearly sixty years old, is not as young as Lu Bing, and lacks the age capital to create reactions. However, in Zhu Houxi's heart, he trusts Lu Bing the most, so Zhu Houxi is a contradiction.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is some truth in what Zhu Houxi thinks. Wang Shouren is old. His health is not good, even if he seizes power, he will not have a few years to live, not to mention that although Wang Shouren has won many battles and many disciples in his life, he has never joined the power center, and his connections in the DPRK and China are not prosperous. had the opportunity to enter the court before, but was blocked by Yang Tinghe, who was in power at the time, which was out of personal grudges and not expressed for the time being.

Lu Bing is different, he has a chance when he is young. And he has been wandering around the center of power, from the princes and nobles to the powerful ministers in the court. and then to the Yanguan and military generals, Lu Bing knows them all, how can this kind of person not be guarded! Wang Shouren was selected and no longer changed, Zhu Houxi no longer doubted, and ordered the Ministry of War to order Wang Shouren to be the commander of the expedition to Liangguang.

However, after Wang Shouren arrived in Liangguang and began to quell the rebellion, Emperor Jiajing also gave Lu Bing another task, that is, to go to Liangguang to check the results, in other words, to monitor Wang Shouren and balance each other. Lu Bing embarked on the road to Liangguang with the emperor's order, and this time it happened to follow Lu Bing's wishes, so he could go out of Beijing under the pretext of going out of Beijing, and then go to southern Yunnan and Bashu to see Yang Shen and Yang Ting and the old man without knowing it. Lu Bing only felt that he was very lucky, because the last time he returned to Shandong, he also happened to have the emperor's order, and he also got a breakthrough in the real murderer. And this time it's the same, can you also gain something? Lu Bing looked forward to it.

When Lu Bing arrived in Liangguang, Wang Shouren had already quelled the war, and it really lived up to its reputation, and the troublesome Liangguang Rebellion was not worth mentioning in front of Wang Shouren, and it was immediately successful and quickly resolved. At this time, the war had extended to the Broken Teng Gorge, and Lu Bing checked the livelihood of the people in Liangguang and other places, and after the results were not abnormal, Lu Bing did not have time to see Wang Shouren, so he headed towards southern Yunnan.

The original name of Broken Teng Gorge is called Big Teng Gorge, the giant vine that connects the two valleys is believed in by the local Yao people, the first year of Chenghua, Han Yongping Rebellion, ended the Broken Teng Gorge and other places for decades of large-scale rebellion, and cut off the giant vine, since then the Great Teng Gorge has been renamed Broken Teng Gorge. Han Yong hoped to sever their national beliefs and thus destroy the beliefs of the local ethnic minorities from within, but it turned out to be the opposite. At the same time, Han Yong captured many people and returned, both men and women, most of whom were castrated and sent to the palace to become eunuchs, including Wang Zhi, the future great eunuch.

Wang Zhi founded and led the West Factory after the most reckless, and Jinyiwei and the East Factory were called Factory Guard, Wang Zhi did all kinds of evil, scolded by the world, and was frightened. Of course, there is also a Wang Zhi in modern times, and he will soon confront Lu Bing, but this Wang Zhi is not the other Wang Zhi, but it is also hateful.

Han Yong's other daughter was Ji's, at that time, Wan Guifei, the uncrowned lord of the harem, had no children, and did not let others conceive children, Emperor Chenghua never had children, and Ji secretly gave birth to a son, that is, the later Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youjiao. Therefore, this Broken Tengxia and the development of the Ming Dynasty are inextricably linked.

Originally, Lu Bing wanted to go to see Broken Teng Gorge, and he also wanted to visit Wang Shouren, the master of mind, but he thought that now that the schedule was urgent, he needed to hurry up to visit the Yang family father and son and then return to Beijing, so as not to be discovered. Thinking that there should be a chance in the future, I didn't go again. Who knows, this parting is a lifelong regret for Lu Bing.

When he came to Yong'an in southern Yunnan, he learned that Yang Shen had gone to Sichuan, and he had just been gone for less than five or six days. Lu Bing looked around Yang Shen's residence and couldn't help but want to laugh, this Yang Shen is too comfortable, he came here to be assigned, and he can't leave here. As a result, he lived well and ate well, and although the house was not big, it was not small and comfortable. The most important thing is that you can also go back to visit relatives from the land of development, it seems that the Shen family is really reliable in this matter, and it was a correct choice for him to let Yang Shen come to the Shen family's land back then.

Lu Bing smiled and urged the horse to go towards Yang Shen's hometown of Xindu, Sichuan, where the two fathers and sons were together. can add a lot, all the coincidences made Lu Bing feel together, which made Lu Bing feel that this trip should be extremely smooth. But he didn't know what to do. Although this visit was quite fruitful, it brought a greater catastrophe to the Yang family's father and son.

When he arrived at the new capital of Bashu, Lu Bing couldn't help but feel a little tired, Lu Bing went into battle lightly this time, didn't bring anyone out at all, and went out with the emperor's holy decree and edict. Zhu Houxi knew that Lu Bing's martial arts were superb, but he was also relieved. So I don't stop it. Without the drag of the team, Lu Bing galloped all the way. One person and three horses take turns riding, so that. It's extremely fast.

Lu Bing is a tough guy, but he is not an iron man either. From the capital to the land of Liangguang, he inspected many times and then immediately went to Yong'an, southern Yunnan, and when he arrived in Yong'an, he knew that Yang Shen was not there. Then go to the new capital of Sichuan. Such a toss. Lu Bing almost spent more than 20 days on horseback, so when he arrived in the new capital of Sichuan, Lu Bing only felt that the skeleton of his body was about to fall apart.

Staggered to the Yang family, the courtyard of the Yang family is not magnificent, but it is very elegant, showing the style of the Bashu compound. Lu Bing knocked on the door panel, and went to hear a young female voice in the room ask, "Who knocked on my Ruyi board?" ”

Lu Bing couldn't help but smile in his heart, the Yang family is all talented. Needless to say, Yang Ting and the old man are even more champions. Yang Shen was originally married to his wife, and Huang E, the daughter of the former Shangshu Huang Ke, is a well-known talented woman. Lu Bing, who was boasted outside and was called full of economy, not inferior to the champion, was about to show his timidity when he arrived at the Yang family. However, Lu Bing still replied with a pretentious talent: "The three best friends of the ear and fire are here." ”

The three ear strikes the fire are the method of splitting the word, and together they are Lu Bing, so they are their best friend Lu Binglai. But as soon as the words came out, Lu Bing felt that something was wrong. On Yang Shen's way to Yong'an, Yang Tinghe and Huang E also walked together, Lu Bing chatted with his sister-in-law and his wife, but now this voice doesn't seem to be Huang E's, could it be that he went to the wrong person?

The door opened, and there were two young women inside, although they were not as beautiful as flowers, but at first sight they knew that they were well-read and well-behaved, but the hair buns and clothes of these two people showed that they were already wives. So Lu Bing hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask the two ladies, is this the Yang Mansion?" ”

"Exactly, who is the gentleman?" A younger woman said, Lu Bing said: "I am from the capital, and my name is Lu Bing. ”

"It turns out that you are Lord Lu, if it is really you, just now my sister said that the three best friends of the ear and fire are Lord Lu, I still don't believe it, Lord Lu is really talented, civil and military, please come in quickly, we often hear my husband talk about you." The two women let Lu Bing into the room, and then went to inform Yang Shen to go, and after a while, Yang Shen, Yang Tinghe, and Huang E walked out, Yang Shen said: "The family is poor, and there is no one or anything, I have wronged Wenfu." ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I want to kill you with Brother Xiu." Lu Bing hugged his fists and said, then saluted Yang Tinghe and said, "Uncle is above, nephew to see uncle." ”

"No courtesy, nephew, where are you from, why don't you say hello in advance, let's prepare." Yang Tinghe was very happy to see Lu Bing coming to visit him.

Lu Bing said: "Uncle Qiqi, I came from the capital, went to Liangguang to inspect the people's livelihood by the way, and after I was done, I wanted to go to southern Yunnan to see Brother Yong who was exiled in Yong'an, but I didn't expect Jing to learn that he went back to his hometown to visit relatives, so I rushed to Xindu to visit my uncle." ”

"This way, but it's broken, give you a rest, you have a good rest, the home is very simple, when I was arrested and imprisoned after being recovered a while ago, the family's money was exhausted, and I ate some of my hometown's property over the years, and I didn't care about the servants or anything. But fortunately, my daughter-in-law Huang E has been serving me, filial piety. Yang Tinghe said with emotion.

Lu Bing nodded speechlessly, it was not that he didn't help Yang Tinghe when he was suffering, but that Lu Bing had just arrived in Shandong at that time, and it was difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river, and he couldn't have anything to do with Yang Tinghe under Mingzhe's protection. Otherwise, the saint will harm the Yang family under the anger, fortunately it is the audience of Yang Yan, a righteous man in the court, that allowed Yang Tinghe to escape, but Yang Yan was also imprisoned because of this, and was removed from his official position after the most reluctance, which can be described as a tragic ending for several generations of old ministers and high-ranking people.

"By the way, Wenfu, I really want to thank you." Yang Shen broke the slightly embarrassing situation and said: "If you hadn't asked the Shen family to take care of me, where would I have been able to go home to visit my relatives, and I wouldn't have been able to live so comfortably in Yong'an." Hey, it is my life ideal to serve the country in the imperial court, and to work hard and do my best, but it is impossible to achieve it now. But fortunately, today's life is also my ideal, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence leisurely to see Nanshan, not worrying about eating and drinking can do what you like to do, read and write, chant poems and write against each other, raise flowers and grasses is not happy. ”

"I can see that you are comfortable, you have a little belly, use Brother Xiu, you have to pay attention to losing weight, otherwise you will have three highs if you are too fat." Lu Bing smiled, turned to look at the two strange young women and said, "Who are these two ladies?" ”

"Blame me, blame me, I forgot to introduce you, these two are my concubines. The older ones are the Zhou family, and the younger ones are the Cao family. I came back with my father's permission, and I came to visit my father's physical condition by the way. Yang Shen said.

Lu Bing saluted: "I've seen two sisters-in-law." Then he smiled at Yang Shen and said: "Brother Yang is amazing, this is not etiquette, there is a fact of husband and wife, you see that the two sisters-in-law are pretending to be women." You are now more unrestrained than me, admire and admire. ”

The father and son of the Yang family and Lu Bing laughed at the same time, Huang E cleaned up an empty room for Lu Bing, Lu Bing lived in it, and fell asleep. The martial artist's body recovered very quickly, and he could be refreshed after a little rest, not to mention that Lu Bing's dantian was full of qi, and he quickly drove away the fatigue when he wandered all over his body. By the time dinner was held one hour, Lu Bing had already recovered his spirit and was refreshed. (To be continued......)
