151 A fortune teller from the capital

Historically, China and its neighbors have mostly been borderless. In ancient times, China's successive emperors respected the traditional idea that the whole world is not the king's land. There is no border problem between China and its neighbors in the modern sense, with the introduction of the concept of sovereignty in Western countries and the invasion of Western colonizers. The issue of sovereign borders became increasingly prominent, and the late Yuan Dynasty began to realize that it was necessary to protect the territory and defend the country!

Yunnan Province, on the southwestern border of China, borders Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar. The national border in the province accounts for 18% of China's land border; The China-Myanmar border is 2,185 kilometers long; The part in Yunnan is more than 1997 kilometers; The China-Laos border line is about 710 kilometers long in Yunnan; The Yunnan section of the land border between China and Vietnam is close to 1,354 kilometers.

Because, Yunnan Province is a good place for all seasons. In ancient times, the kings of Vietnam, Laos, and Burma all wanted to invade and occupy the country, and they all sent troops every year to cause trouble and disturb the quiet life of the residents in the Central Plains. Unscrupulously provoke the Son of Heaven of all dynasties!

Since, the two Hua generals came here by Emperor Yongxi to be awarded the title of "General Zhenxi". When encountering the attack of soldiers and horses sent by the three border countries one after another, the brothers joined forces to set up the "Flame Array", "Hidden Weapon Array", "Ecstasy Array", and "Scorpion Locust Array". All the soldiers and horses who have been tossed and attacked are "coming and going"!

The kings of Vietnam, Laos, and Burma sent three raids respectively. When he found that the soldiers and horses sent were all "meat buns and dogs", he was so shocked that he sent spies to check the battle scene!

The spies did not dare to take risks during the day, and it was late at night, when everything was silent. Only then did they dare to crawl forward into the battle scene and carefully look through the scars on the corpses!

Before they could see all the corpses, the spies left the scene of the battle in fright. I don't dare to stay in the Central Plains for a day!

After hearing the reports of these spies, the three kings of the neighboring countries no longer dared to send troops to attack. He also sent envoys to the court at the end of the Yuan Dynasty with many local specialties and rare treasures, and offered tribute to Emperor Yongxi after bowing three times. When he came, he also said that his master had stated that he would never venture into the Central Plains in the future. I just hope that from now on, the border residents of the two countries can "live in peace"!

The Son of Heaven of all dynasties and dynasties is eager to govern the world under his own rule: without spending a single soldier, the world can be forever peaceful. Ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment forever!

Because, as the Son of Heaven, they. can understand without a teacher: the common people live a calm life and a comfortable mood, and only then will they appreciate and support the lord of a country who has brought them all this happy life in the depths of their hearts!

Of course, Emperor Yongxi will not be an exception. He also came to the conclusion that if the imperial court sent troops to fight against the enemy outside the fanwai every year. In addition to increasing the contribution of "exorbitant taxes and young and strong laborers" among the people, it will also cause tragic harm and displacement of border residents. The common people will definitely complain, and there will even be cases of "uncovering uprisings"!

Right now, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile. At the same time, he hurriedly said: Your Excellency, it is rare for the master of your country to treat each other with sincerity. How can I not "treat each other with sincerity"? After the dispersal of the court, you will be accompanied by the minister of my court to visit the beautiful scenery of the capital and then go to the imperial banquet. I will repair a letter and send someone to the hands of the two Hua generals on the border, so that they can "only defend and not attack" from now on!

For more than ten years later, two Hua generals were stationed here. In addition to the fixed practice time every day, the rest of the time is to extensively collect local beauties for fun. Life can be described as "leisurely and comfortable"!

As the two elder brothers of the current Empress Hua, they also understand that they can't do anything to smear their sister's face outside. When they found a beautiful woman, they never robbed it roughly. Always promise his family a "high-ranking official" in return!

As soon as their words landed, the two deputies Ma Shan and Wang Jiansheng would pick up the conversation: Our leader is the brother of the current Empress Hua, and everything they say must be counted. As long as this beauty agrees to live with them, your family will be "soaring" from now on!

At this point, the two deputies would pat their heads and exclaim, "Oh, we almost forgot to tell you." Our leader is to defeat the soldiers and horses sent by the neighboring three countries with his evil arts, and make a first-class contribution to the stability of the imperial court! What they said about arranging positions for the young and middle-aged people in your mansion, even if they are today, they will definitely not be ambiguous. What to do, weigh it carefully!

Hearing this, the fathers and brothers of those beautiful women. Inevitably, their hearts will be shaken, and they will turn to the master who can turn things around for the family and say, "Nizi, you also hear who these two are." Our family really can't afford to be offended! Why don't you ----

Without waiting for the family members to finish speaking, those beauties will say with interest: Father, mother, brothers, we know the pros and cons of this incident for our family. The daughter just accepts her fate!

At this moment, the two Hua generals will turn to their deputies and say: You bring the young and middle-aged people of this family to the local Sichuan Mansion Yamen to find the Xu Governor's Mansion, arrange the position and sort out the future salary and food, cloth tickets, oil tickets, vegetable tickets, meat tickets, and so on!

The master spoke, and the deputies Ma Shan and Wang Jiansheng turned to the young man in the beautiful woman's house and said: Now, you can follow the two of us to find the prefect here!

Hearing this, the brothers of the beautiful women glanced at their father and mother meaningfully. Then they went to the Lord who brought them happiness. hugged her with tears in her eyes for a long time before letting go of her hand, and silently followed the two deputies out of the house!

Next, it was the turn of the beauty herself to walk out of the house with the two Hua generals with tears in her eyes. Suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground to his father and mother and bowed three times, before standing up and crying: Father, mother, take care of your body. My daughter is leaving!

The promises made by the two generals have been fulfilled in the blink of an eye. The father and mother of the beautiful woman will not be able to make any regretful moves. All the old couple could do was to hug each other dejectedly and wave their hands and say helplessly: Nizi, Daddy and your brothers remember your kindness. You're alone, don't worry about your family!

The two generals hurriedly said: Two old men, for the beauties who are willing to live with the two of us. We have always been born and adopted by our side, and we have never abandoned one! You and her brothers don't have to worry about her, if she misses her family in the future. You can also come back and visit!

Hey, the beauties met two generals who didn't want to smear their sister's face. It's a blessing in misfortune!

However, the two Hua generals only knew that they had written to Emperor Yongxi to apply for an "increase in military salary" to support those beauties. But they didn't have time to think about it at all: they "stuffed people" into the Sichuan Mansion Yamen again and again, even if Xu Zhifu wholeheartedly wanted to convince them that they were "willing to pay the bill with the Yamen treasury silver". An ordinary local yamen treasury is not too much silver, how long can it bear it?

The two of them, who were full of flowers, would not have thought that in the third year when they were included in the beauties, the upright and honest Xu Zhifu had one more heart to check the treasury silver of the Yamen. I found that it was so little that I couldn't "round the account" to the imperial court!

He secretly thought to himself: The two generals Hua are the elder brothers of the current Empress Hua, how can he afford to offend a local official?

So, Governor Xu instructed his wife to reduce the expenses and food standards of the family members. The silver taels saved will "pay" for the brothers of the two beautiful women! However, for the next three years. The two Hua generals are still constantly "stuffing" people into the yamen of Sichuan Mansion!

As a result, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Oh, the savings of my mansion and the silver saved by compressing the family's living expenses. There are not many left, three years of "paying" for the young adults they stuffed in! They still don't restrain their "want to see beautiful women", and I also have a large family to support. At present, there has been no war in the local area, and there is no excuse to apply to the imperial court for an increase in "military salary"! How can it go on like this?

Thinking left and right, Xu Zhifu, who had nothing to do, felt: Hey, for the survival of my family. The matter of the two generals Hua adopting beauties and "stuffing people" to the Yamen of Sichuan Mansion, we only have one letter. Find a way to go to the capital and ask your classmate General Lin to hand it over to the emperor to see how he decides!

Thinking of this, Governor Xu grinded and wrote a letter that night. Tell his wife: Lotus, after I leave. If someone asks me, you say it's been peaceful lately. I was bored when I stayed in the house, so I went out to visit distant relatives and travel to relax!

As soon as the words slipped out, he changed into civilian clothes and led his horse out of the house accompanied by a martial artist. I didn't dare to jump on horseback and run to the capital until I was a mile away!

Well, speaking of which. The author will reveal to you: General Lin, a friend that Governor Xu wants to ask for, is Lin Jianluo, the father of Lin Xiaoyuan, the wife of Wan Qilin, Liushu Town, Huayang County, southern Jiangsu!

After coming to the capital in the early morning two days later, Governor Xu visited his friend General Lin "non-stop". He said with a heavy heart: Brother Lin, the foolish brother has encountered a big trouble. Would you like to help me?

Seeing the gloom on the faces of his former classmates, General Lin smiled and said: Xu Yafei, remember that you have always belonged to the "optimistic faction". Now, why is this happening? Just say something, the foolish brother will definitely help you!

Governor Xu immediately took out the letter to the emperor from his arms, and said anxiously while handing it to him: Brother Lin, the details about the two Hua generals are all in it. Please go into the palace now and hand it over to the emperor!

heard about his friend's troubles, and was implicated with the two Hua generals. General Lin immediately put the letter into his arms and said: Xu Yafei, you can stay in this mansion and rest with peace of mind. Foolish brother, go face to face the saint now!

As he spoke, he stood up and went into the stable in the backyard, and led the maroon horse out of the house. Hop on your horse and gallop straight to the palace!

Because General Lin was also a hero who assisted Emperor Yongxi in laying down the country, he entered the palace unimpeded and found the master who was embracing Empress Hua and browsing the beautiful scenery of the "Imperial Garden". As soon as he "poofed", he knelt down and held his hand in the admonition and shouted: Your Majesty, there is an "urgent secret letter" from the eastern border. The messenger is still waiting for your approval outside the palace, and Weichen hurried to announce it!

Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi took a step forward and pulled him up. Then he turned to Empress Hua and said, "Queen, I have to deal with official business." Go back to the palace on your own!

As soon as his words landed, Empress Hua said delicately: Your Majesty, you will be bored when the palace leaves. You have to take care of your official business, but you have to come to the "Changle Palace" to chat with the palace!

The words slipped out softly, and she turned around and twisted her delicate waist. Step by step, turn back to the "Changle Palace"!

Emperor Yongxi immediately pulled General Lin into the "imperial study", took the envelope he handed over, opened it, took out the letter paper, and looked at it carefully. Soon, he unconsciously frowned!

Seeing this, General Lin said tentatively: Your Majesty, the problem reflected by Governor Xu. It seems to be very complicated and serious!

Emperor Yongxi handed him the letter and said angrily: General Lin, the two Hua generals released carrier pigeons six years ago and said. They are recruiting troops on the western border to prevent the three neighboring countries from causing trouble again, and I implore me to order the "National Treasury Yuan" Director Cui to increase military salaries and send them to them!

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but roar: At the beginning, I believed that I really ordered Director Cui to increase the military salary to the two of them year by year. Unexpectedly, they applied for an "increase in military salaries". It turned out to be to feed the beauties collected in the camp, so that they could have fun anytime and anywhere! How can this really be true?

At this time, General Lin also exclaimed: Your Majesty, the two generals Hua actually "stuffed" the brothers of the beauties into the local Sichuan Mansion Yamen to live a mess. As a result, the family of the Governor Xu can only "tighten their belts" to live, saving silver and two to "pay" for these young adults! They relied on their sister to be the current queen, and they did too much to do this. I can't be more tolerant!

Emperor Yongxi shook his head and said, "Hey, they have an invincible evil art. I have the heart to ask the civil and military officials for advice on strategies in the court, and I am afraid that I will lose the dignity of the royal family by "luring the wolf into the house" by jokes! Right now, I haven't figured out what to do with them. And how can you "act rashly"?

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "General Lin, you go and tell Governor Xu." I know all his troubles! When the dynasty dispersed early today, I will leave behind the director of the "National Treasury Yuan". Let him think of a reason to reduce the military salaries paid to the two Hua generals, and then allocate them to the Sichuan Mansion Yamen under his jurisdiction to pay the salaries of those young and middle-aged people. Don't let him continue to publicize this matter, and I will deal with it when I come up with an effective way!

The master had already spoken, and General Lin certainly understood that it was not appropriate to say more. He knelt down and shouted: Weichen first thanked Lord Longen for the Xu Governor's Mansion!

The words popped out of his mouth, and he bent over and slammed his head to the ground.

Seeing this, Emperor Yongxi quickly held the head of this meritorious man and said: General Lin, relieve the trouble for Governor Xu. It's all my rightful thing! Today, you don't have to kowtow to him. Go back and tell him my attitude and willingness!

General Lin stood up and said gratefully: Your Majesty, Weichen will retire.

As he spoke, he quickly turned around and exited the "Imperial Study". He strode out of the palace to untie the maroon horse tied to the tree, jumped on the horse's back, and stared at the road ahead with his eyes wide open. Whip your horse and gallop all the way home!

Governor Xu hurriedly greeted him, and said nervously: Brother Lin, how is it?

General Lin smiled and said: Xu Yafei, the emperor's grace is mighty. Your problem is solved!

With that, he whispered his mouth to the other's earlobe.

After listening, Xu Zhifu was like a child. Excitedly hugged General Lin and walked around!

The two Hua generals who stayed on the western border and only cared about "having fun" were even dreaming of "one thousand and one nights". would not have thought that the loyal and honest Governor Xu would go to the capital to ask someone to find the emperor. Shake out all the things about them!

A week later, the messenger delivered a letter from Director Choi of the "National Treasury Yuan" to them. The letter said: According to the two Qincha lords sent by the imperial court to the western border to secretly investigate, the two Hua generals did not recruit troops and horses in the local area. Since the treasury is currently losing a lot of silver, it can only not increase military salaries from now on!

Seeing this, the two Hua generals exclaimed in unison: Oh, when did the two Qincha adults come. Why don't we know at all?

However, the blame is blame. They still understood: in the letter, there was no mention of them feeding the beauties. Emperor Yongxi looks at the sake of their two sisters, and is still "extra gracious" for them!

From then on, the two Hua generals took some time out to go to the barren mountains and mountains to hunt wild animals with evil magic. The skins of the animals were sold to earn silver taels, and the meat was kept to be boiled and eaten, and the silver taels were also compressed by the living expenses of the two and the beauties. Life can still get by!

On this day, after dinner, the brothers walked into their tents with a beautiful woman in their arms. As soon as I untied my clothes, I heard the sound of "pop, pop" running quickly. Immediately after, the voices of deputies Ma Shan and Wang Jiansheng came: two leaders, a fortune teller holding a guise came down from the city gate. I'm clamoring to come in and tell your fortunes!

The two generals who were thinking about sleeping with the beauty in their hearts all shouted angrily: Are you a pig's head or an elm pimple head? We have an "invincible" evil art, do we need anyone else to tell fortunes?

Ma Shan and Wang Jiansheng, who didn't know the situation inside, still didn't stop with their mouths: the two leaders, this fortune teller said that he was from the capital. I must see you!

By this time, the two men and two women inside had already dressed. The two generals opened the door and said, "Your words reminded us of the strange thing that happened six years ago. Let's go and open the gates!

Hearing this, the two deputies immediately turned around and left.

Looking at their backs, the two Hua generals couldn't help but put their heads together and whispered: Later, I want to see if this fortune teller from the capital can figure it out. Who gave the strange thing that happened six years ago?
