The prison of the criminal department.

In a small cell, a figure turned his back to the fence, his eyes looking at the sky at forty-five degrees, looking through the small skylight of the cell, looking at the moonlight outside.

The moon is like a flower, and the man is very calm.

And just as the man was distracted, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"My lord, this is it."

At this time, I heard the voice of the cell boss, followed by an old but angry voice: "Well, I don't want to say anything about anyone here." ”

"Don't worry, adults, we all know the rules."

The cell head was very good, and followed the cell head to look at Lu Xiangsheng in the cell and shouted: "Lu Xiangsheng, Yang ......"

"Get out."

The cell boss wanted to report the number, but the old voice scolded him angrily.

The cell head was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded and left, at this time, the old man in the black robe slowly squatted down, took out a food box, opened the food box, and there were a few simple wine dishes and a pot of wine.

The old man put his things in place at the door of the cell, and said to Lu Xiangsheng who was sitting in the cell with a smile: "Brother Jiandou, are you so reluctant to meet your old friends?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng slowly got up, turned around, looked at the old man who came to see him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the first person to come to see me now was you Yang Sichang." ”

Yang Sichang poured a glass of wine for Lu Xiangsheng at this time and said: "Your Majesty has issued an order, five days later, you will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market." ”

Lu Xiangsheng was very calm when he heard this, he had already had a psychological expectation of this matter, and he was not so surprised by the psychological expectation.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Oh, thank you for telling me the news, otherwise I would still be quite lonely in this prison." ”

Saying that, Lu Xiangsheng picked up Yang Sichang's wine glass, gestured to Yang Sichang, drank it all, and a hint of banter appeared on his face: "After I die, how are you going to celebrate?" Set him up for a ten-day flowing water feast? ”

Yang Sichang laughed when he heard this: "Brother Jiandou, do you really think I hate you so much?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "You and I are not in harmony, everyone in the world knows it, now that your enemy is dead, don't you celebrate it?" ”

Yang Sichang sighed when he heard this and said: "Then you misunderstand me, Brother Jiandou doesn't believe it or not, I want to tell you, if you die, I will be sad, in fact, I still recognize your personality, and what you do is also worthy of Yang's admiration." ”

Lu Xiangsheng heard this and smiled: "I believe it." ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng picked up the wine glass again and took a sip and said: "You Yang Sichang actually have a heart to serve the country with a fist, I have never doubted this, but your behavior is still too narrow-minded, now the external troubles of the Ming Dynasty are so serious, Jiannu has repeatedly committed crimes, you don't care about the life or death of the people of the Ming Dynasty, you just want to extinguish the Liukou, the Liukou is an internal trouble, it is like a flood, you can't stop it, you can't extinguish it, you want to cure it radically, only reform the rule of officials, if the officials are honest, encourage agriculture, so that the people can afford to eat, There are still so many people out there who are rogues. ”

"When you see the rogues like this, you only know about suppression and slaughter, but you have never thought of reforming the rule of officials, and the final result can only be that the rogues kill more and more, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and this great Da Ming will collapse one day sooner or later." Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yang Sichang and said, Yang Sichang listened to this and looked at Lu Xiangsheng quietly, for a long time, he laughed, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Brother Jiandou, I understand what you said, I also understand, but this is simply a problem that cannot be solved, make every effort to govern and rectify the rule of officials, how can it be so simple, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 260 years, the interests in the middle are complicated, and the family monopolizes all the interests. If we dare to touch these interests, it will be an enemy of hundreds of officials in the world, Brother Jiandou, wake up, don't do these unrealistic ideas, Daming can only do it now, where it leaks, go and block it. “

"Reform? Hehe, you and I are not Zhang Juzheng, let alone Yu Qian and Shaobao, you and I are just lucky to escape the encirclement of the family and be selected, they can support you, when you want to move their interests, they will not hesitate to kill you, and there will be no mercy on anyone. ”

"So what we can do now is to plug the hole of Daming, and then replace the key places with our own people as much as possible, little by little, slowly change, Daming is now terminally ill, no heavy medicine, no heavy hands, if it is like Brother Jiandou, put all the power to deal with Jiannu, and do not suppress the Liukou, this Daming country will die in the Liukou, and the outside must first be inside, Brother Jiandou."

Yang Sichang helplessly said to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and raised his glass and said: "Yang Sichang, I salute you, although what you do is against me everywhere, but you are wronged to say that you are in vain and don't want to save the country, but I don't agree with your thoughts, it is true that Daming is rotten, so Daming needs to take heavy medicine, sweep away Liaodong Jiannu with thunder, redistribute benefits to the people, and let the people see the hope of living, this is the root cause." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said, Yang Sichang smiled, this idea is very naïve.

Lu Xiangsheng saw Yang Sichang's disdainful smile, and continued: "Maybe you will say that I am naïve, I admit that I am not as good as you in terms of political means, but the foreign enemy must be eliminated, we should try our best to prevent the construction of slaves from attacking the Central Plains, and we must not let the people of the Central Plains suffer any more losses, otherwise these people who have no support will be new rogues, who cannot be killed and slaughtered!" ”

"If I want to find a way to increase the troops in Liaodong, the Jiannu who fought dare not look south, and then build a defense line in the north, as long as the defense line is built, you can weaken the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong garrison, and then the Liaoxiang of the imperial court can be left, with this money, and then slowly govern the country and appease the people, it may not be impossible to prosper the Ming Dynasty, Ling Zun, Yang He, and Yang Boss did a very good job."

"So he was exiled and died a tragic death, if I hadn't been reused later, he would still be a joke now, hehehe......"

When Yang Sichang heard Lu Xiangsheng mention his father Yang He, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, his eyes were full of mockery.

The first half of his father's life was his pride, and the second half of his life was his shame, the Shaanxi people's uprising, Yang He took office for three years, and did not use any cruel means, but mainly to appease, as a result, the militia intensified, these damn mud legs saw his father's kindness as weakness and bullying, so they staged the most ridiculous scene. ....The rogues fought to the death, surrendered if they couldn't fight, were Zhao'an, slowly accumulated strength, and waited until they felt that their strength was almost there, so they jumped out again, revolted again, and so repeatedly, the people of Shaanxi did not change well, but intensified, and Emperor Chongzhen was angry and gave him an incompetent title.

followed by dismissal and exile, if he Yang Sichang hadn't come out on his own, he would never have gotten mixed to this extent today, it can be said that Yang Sichang disagrees with his father very much.

Yang Sichang looked at Lu Xiangsheng at this time and said: "You and I don't have much personal relationship, but you have always been my political enemy, to the point where today, you are going to be beheaded, and everyone will die, there are some words, I can tell you Lu Xiangsheng, even if you gain authority, even if you are not killed this time, but ascend to the sky in one step, and even if you succeed in entering the cabinet and become the first assistant of the cabinet, as long as you are not the emperor, you will never be able to solve the trouble of Liaodong." ”

"The trouble in Liaodong is not in the army, not in the generals, not even in Jiannu, but in the hearts of the people."

"How did Jiannu grow, when the old slave rebelled, Li Chengliang, the governor of Liaodong, definitely had a chance to exterminate Jiannu, but Li Chengliang didn't, he raised his own respect, he knew that with the political situation of the imperial court at that time, Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang were all defeated, and he definitely didn't end well when he came back, so he directed and acted in this Liaodong rebellion."

"I didn't expect this set to be so easy to use, the imperial court began to allocate funds to Liaodong, he Li Chengliang lived very comfortably, their group of soldiers in Liaodong who drank the blood of the soldiers were very happy, so Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, Wu Xiang, Zu Dashou, a group of people, they operated an iron bucket-like defense line in Liaodong, so that Jiannu was in a dilemma, but they couldn't eliminate Jiannu."

"In this way, after decades of development, the current chaos in Liaodong has been formed, and the interest group dominated by the Liaodong military family has been formed, uniting the local people and businessmen in Liaodong, forming a huge network of interests, firmly controlling the economy, trade, military and so on in Liaodong."

"The current Liaodong Army, the relationship with Jiannu is not just an enemy, they are also business partners, their relationship is cold, so Liaodong will not allow Jiannu to be eliminated, because without Jiannu, they will lose their transcendent status, why does the imperial court give them Liaoxiang every year regardless of the cost?"

"He is a monolith in Liaodong like this, not to mention that you are just Lu Xiangsheng, it is useless for the imperial court to send anyone there, Hong Chengchou's ability is not weaker than yours, but how about he in Liaodong? It's just as vain, his entry into Liaodong is to enter the mud pond. ”

"He is such an old and spicy person when he arrives in Liaodong, can you change anything when you go to Liaodong?"

"No, there will be no change, don't talk about you, even if I tell Your Majesty about these 1510 today, Your Majesty is helpless, if you are impulsive again, Liaodong will inevitably be in chaos, and then Your Majesty will be in order to appease the hearts of the people in Liaodong, the first person to kill is me Yang Sichang, so Liaodong, Jiannu can't touch it, now the only chance to have a glimmer of life is to start reforming from within the Ming Dynasty, and form a few powerful armies within the Ming Dynasty, your Tianxiong Army used to be a very good choice, and as a result, you impulsively filled all the tiger's mouth of Jiannu." "Let's solve external problems by cultivating a few strong armies at home." And if you want to cultivate a strong army, you need money and food, you need weapons and equipment, you need to experience it, and the best training object is the Liukou, you can ask for military salaries, weapons, and you can also train soldiers, and so the domestic army is strong enough, at this time, go north to Liaodong, whether it is to replace the Liaodong Army, or divide the troops to exterminate the Jiannu, it is a good choice, and finally use the domestic training army to fight against the Jiannu and achieve domestic security, isn't this a good plan? ”

Lu Xiangsheng listened to Yang Sichang's words and was silent, Yang Sichang said many things he heard for the first time, this may be the limitation of the times, such as the people of Liaodong, merchants and the army colluded to do business with Jiannu.

This bit destroyed Lu Xiangsheng's three views, Lu Xiangsheng always thought that the people of Liaodong were living in dire straits, and how miserable and miserable the days were, but when I heard this, it didn't seem to be the same as I imagined.

"Is everything you say true?"

"What?"

"The merchants and people of Liaodong also do business with Jiannu?"

Yang Sichang heard this and smiled: "Has Lord Lu ever bought ginseng?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, Yang Sichang arched his hand and said: "Lord Lu is honest Yang is ashamed, Yang's family has bought ginseng in the pharmacy in the capital, and they are all good ginseng in the deep mountains of Liaodong, and it is said that it is Changbai Mountain, you must know that these ginseng are all grown in the territory of Jiannu, how did they get to the pharmacy of Daming?" ”

"You must know that we have strictly forbidden to exchange markets with Jiannu, and Shaanxi and other border merchants have been almost cleaned up by Lantian and you, the governor of Xuanda, over the years, but there is no shortage of ginseng in the pharmacy in the capital, and not only in the capital, but also in the big pharmacy all over the country, there are a few ginseng from Liaodong, as well as fur and mountain goods, these are all Liaodong specialties, let me ask you, if no one is making cats here, where do these things come from?"

Lu Xiangsheng clenched his fists when he heard this, Yang Sichang looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Brother Jiandou, it's not that I, Yang Sichang, disregard the national righteousness, but this Daming is rotten, we are officials, we can only start from the weakest place, and if we come up, we want to move a big cake like Liaodong, and we will die without a place to bury." ”

"At that time, Liaodong would pay about thirty percent of the bribes to the officials of the court every year, of which the majority was given to Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian was gone in recent years, but this number mentioned thirty and a half, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, except for a very few such as Brother Jiandou, who has not received it; A gift from Liaodong. ”

"You took it too?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang smiled when he heard this: "Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, that is the greatest praise for officials who don't want to do things, and I want to do things, I want to do things, I need people to cooperate, and I need others to cooperate, I can't be honest, otherwise I don't take it, my people are not easy to take, my people don't take it, my subordinates can't take it, everyone can't take it, who still does things!" ”

"Hehe, Yang Sichang, it's the first time I've heard someone talk about greed so fresh and refined."

Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and said.

Yang Sichang laughed and said: "Lu Xiangsheng, you are great, you are arrogant, but in such a rotten place, people like you don't live long, so today is you inside, I am outside, for a peaceful and prosperous world, a wise monarch, you and I have already swapped positions, I can't say, Yang will still be your best friend at that time, but it's a pity that it's impossible now, it's impossible......".
