Chapter Forty-Three: The Smoke Rises and the Tartars are ready to move
Yu Zijun was the right deputy governor of the imperial history in the seventh year of Chenghua, and Lu Wen was ten years later, and in the seventeenth year of Chenghua, he was the governor of the right imperial history of the capital of Yansui.
Now the two of them are the secretary of the military department, and the other is the right attendant of the military department, and they still remember the experience of Fubian vividly.
Therefore, when it comes to the court's handling of Datong's side affairs, they each have their own experiences.
Yu Zijun provoked the conversation: "Mr. Tianzhang, sitting on one side and planning the court are indeed different!" β
Lu Wenzi Tianzhang, a native of Anzhou, Baoding Prefecture, raised people during the Tianshun period. He was not born as a Jinshi, but he was able to be promoted to at least Sima, and he must have his strengths.
"Why does Mr. Shiying feel this way?" He asked.
"Mr. Tianzhang was in Yanzhen back then, repairing hundreds of miles of border walls, appeasing and surviving hundreds of thousands of victims, and all of them were worthy of the responsibility of sealing the territory. Although I returned to my hometown with my mother's worries, I also took Mr. Shizhang as an example of the frontier. Yu Zijun recalled the past. The so-called hundreds of thousands of surviving victims refer to the invasion of the Tatar tribes and the fleeing of border people into the interior. Fearing a mix of Tatar spies, it was proposed that they be kept out of the border walls; Lu Wen disagreed, so she put it all in. Indeed, hundreds of thousands of people survived.
"Mr. Shiying, slow down." Hearing that Yu Zijun was praising himself, there was obviously something in his words, and Lu Wen stopped him, "Mr. Shiying wouldn't think that repairing the border wall for hundreds of miles, pacifying and surviving hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, not only was it useless, but it was done, right?" β
"Naturally not, merit is merit, virtue is virtue, and no one can erase it." Yu Zijun said.
"Then, Mr. Shiying advocated the construction of the border wall in front, and the side wall was built for more than 1,700 miles; It also moved to Yulin, making Mizhi, Wubao and other counties inland, so that millions of border people can live with peace of mind. That's the great thing! Lu Wen sang the praises of Yu Zijun, and said, "What I did in Yanzhen is just the footsteps of Mr. Bu Shiying." β
The governor of Yansui was originally stationed in Suidezhou, Yan'an Prefecture, and Yansui, one of the nine sides, was named after it. In the case of border police, the front line of Suide must be strictly guarded, and the counties outside Suide are often ignored. Yu Zijun asked to move to Yulin, so that the whole territory of Yansui was guaranteed.
"Yes, I thought it was a meritorious achievement; But after the imperial court appointed me as the Great Sima, I realized that the things I did in Yanzhen were really nothing. Yu Zijun said.
"Then, wouldn't the things I did even more meaningless!" Lu Wen said with a smile, and tried to explain Yu Zijun's feelings, "Yansui is stable, but the affairs of Xuanfu and Datong Town are becoming more and more tricky, Mr. Shiying is anxious about this matter, right?" β
"yes!" Yu Zijun did not deny it, "The little prince of Tatar is arrogant, Chen Bing is on the side wall, and when he opens his mouth, please pay tribute with 3,000 people." The generation headed by the crown prince is a rare talent, why don't they know the arrogance to kill him, but let him play? β
Lu Wen felt that Yu Zijun's accusation against the crown prince was a little unfair, and he asked rhetorically: "How can you kill the arrogance of the Tatars?" Do you refuse to say no? But you are not allowed to pay tribute, and the authority is not with the prince! The emperor has granted Wan'an Wan the authority to deal with this matter. β
"Warat captured the prince and was almost killed, but it also made me wait for a sweat. If Da Ming loses the current prince, I'm afraid it will -------"
"The arrogance to kill him doesn't have to be a stern refusal." The crown prince Zhu Youtang said and walked into the house with Yu Suzhong.
Lu Wen and Yu Zijun saw the prince coming to the mansion in person and hurriedly saluted.
"Weichen didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, and he missed the welcome." Lu Wen said.
"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks?" Yu Zijun asked.
"Excuse meβ" The prince paused.
The three of them all looked at Zhu Youtang.
"Kill their numbers, for example." Youtang gives an example.
"Your Highness sees it." Lu Wen nodded and continued to ask, "Your Highness, can you know that if the little prince opens his mouth, please pay tribute with 3,000 people, and if my court allows 1,500 people to enter the side wall, this is still a kill of two in two." Isn't that enough? β
"Not enough!" Yu Zijun said categorically, "Killing one out of two is not enough to kill his arrogance." β
"In Mr. Yishiying's opinion, how to kill its number in order to kill its arrogance?" Youtang asked.
"Nine out of ten kills." Yu Zijun said a proportion very firmly.
Lu Wen folded her fingers and calculated: "Nine out of ten kills and one is saved, five hundred are saved and fifty, and thousands of people are saved." What does Shiying mean that he should kill up to 300 people? β
Youtang nodded.
"Killed too hard, didn't you?" Lu Wen said tentatively.
Youtang smiled and said, "Okay, for Mr. Tianzhang's sake, change it to an integer." β
Lu Wen stretched out her thumb and asked, "One thousand?" β
Youtang flipped his palm over and said, "Five hundred." β
Lu Wen knew that she had been teased by everyone, and she also smiled. He said: "Kill to five hundred, and the court will naturally feel at ease; I'm afraid that the little prince will be angry and angry, and the soldiers will meet each other. β
"Then we'll meet him." Youtang said.
