Zhang Xuan listened to You Di's speech, and immediately realized that this was really a benefit for nothing.

The favor of the Marquis of Jing is not so easy to earn.

In addition, his character is not good, so he is even more concerned.

This benefit is secondary, and he actually saw that the emperor was a little helpless about Wang Wei as the leader.

That's kind of interesting.

After returning to the mansion, he also specially ordered someone to inquire about whether the third prince of the Jingyu Marquis Mansion was of good moral character.

The subordinate replied, "The son of Wednesday is the youngest son of the house, and he must have been favored since he was a child. I heard that it is indeed a little squeamish, and now that the Marquis of Jingyu is in full swing, his actions are a little arrogant. ”

Zhang Xuan asked: "Did you really rob other people's fields?" ”

"Master, I don't understand." The subordinate said a little smugly, "Some people just like the children who act beyond the rules and are bold in Beijing." ”

"How?"

"After offering some farm property and handmaiden, it is always useful to take advantage of these characteristics of his love of face. Therefore, even if the son of Zhou Mansion does not rob it, it will increase in a few years. ”

"Then how can there be a talk of grabbing the field?"

"Bai Detian, there is no explanation, isn't it just robbery?"

Zhang Xuan was annoyed by this, and scolded: "You just said that you did not rob it?" ”

The subordinate shuddered, "The enemies are fighting each other, and there are also robberies." ”

"So much nonsense. Tomorrow you take some silver, find the landlord who has been robbed, and make up for his loss. Do you understand? ”

"Yes! The villain understands! ”

"Don't be smart!"

Zhang Xuan is also anxious, and after scolding people away in three or two sentences, he is also ready to go to see Zhou Shangwen.

The emperor did not let him say that this matter was explained by the Son of Heaven.

In fact, he didn't give Zhou Shangwen the illusion that 'the emperor didn't want to touch him', lest he be pampered and arrogant.

The Son of Heaven acts without leakage, and from this point of view, Zhou Shangwen is not as stable as Mount Tai, otherwise why would the Son of Heaven keep this last line?

This is actually a very meaningful action.

……

……

Jingshi seems to be still like that, a majestic city, a palace.

Zhou Shangwen returned from a big victory, and he had a little more confidence on the road to the palace.

He rarely saw the emperor, only in correspondence, but there was trust between them, and in every battle he fought, the Son of Heaven let go of his hands, even if there were objections in the court, he insisted on not changing.

In fact, what the civil servants say is nonsense.

He did not mention the loyalty of the monarch, nor did he mention the lives of the whole family living in Beijing.

He was promoted from a hereditary petty official to the emperor's trust to today's Marquis of Jingyu, which can be said to be a success, and he has glorified his ancestors, why would he do such a thing with extremely high risks and a very low success rate?

And Wenchen doesn't care about the logic of facts at all, although those soldiers obey orders under his account, but everyone leads the court, and most of them are also adding officials to the knighthood, and they don't enjoy a good life, so they rebel with him?

This is simply a matter of political interest.

"General Zhengxi, Marquis Zhou Shangwen, see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Zhu Houzhao had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Marquis Jingyu, you are telling me to wait!" Hurry up, please! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Come, give me a seat."

Zhou Shangwen is just over forty years old in the New Year, with a lush beard and not many gray hairs, because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has a rough atmosphere, which is the age when a martial artist is at the peak of his life.

After all, too young is not experienced enough, and it is sometimes not easy to control subordinates, and no matter how old you are, you can't actually get on the horse and kill the enemy.

"Marquis Jingyu, I never mentioned it in the song, but I always cared, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, you didn't suffer any injuries, right?"

Zhou Shangwen had a warm current in his heart, "Weichen is a lowly body, and His Majesty should not be worried." The emperor was blessed with some skin injuries at most, and there were no major injuries. ”

"Oh," Zhu Houzhao relieved.

Zhou Shangwen in history was so fierce that he was still killing enemies on the battlefield at the age of seventy.

But his life has been changed, different times, different battles, in case of any injury, it is possible, and the medical conditions at this time, once injured, it is easy to leave the root of the disease, resulting in a short life.

This is a bit difficult to accept, and it is not easy to find a name for the future in the middle of the dynasty.

"It's fine if you're okay. What about Yang Yiqing, how about he over there? ”

Zhou Shangwen said: "Yang Butang often misses His Majesty. He always told his ministers that he was guilty of a capital crime, and it was the emperor's leniency that spared his life. ”

"I know that he has some grievances in his heart, but sometimes I have to think about it all, just like you, who are about to make contributions in Xinjiang, but ask me to be transferred back. In the future, you will not be able to get the credit for destroying the Yarkand Khanate. ”

"Weichen didn't dare. Although the attack on the Turpan Khanate this time was commanded by the ministers, it relied on the trust of the emperor and the lives of the soldiers. ”

The emperor walked down and walked in front of him, "You are a military general, don't learn from those Wenchen who dropped their bookbags, you can drop them?" ”

These words were a little funny, and Zhou Shangwen couldn't help laughing, "The minister knows that he is wrong." ”

The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth curved, "As for me, I still like to deal with military generals, get on the horse to kill the enemy, get off the horse and eat meat, go straight and straight, I don't have so much thought." If you win the battle, I will reward you for what a simple thing you do? ”

Zhou Shangwen was convinced, "Your Majesty, what you said really makes sense." ”

"Tell me, what is going on in the Yarkand Khanate?"

"Yes. The Yarkand Khanate was founded by a man named Said, who was a brother to Mansuer of the Turpan Khanate, who fled because of the struggle for the throne of the Khanate, and after several rounds, he actually established another khanate. ”

"No wonder, such a person must be determined after hardships."

"What Your Majesty said is good, the ministers think that it is also because the lord of the country is like this, so they resolutely do not call the Ming Dynasty, but play the name of avenging their brother, and gather the tribal herdsmen of the Turpan Khanate everywhere to enhance their own strength."

"They must think that the Western Regions are too far away from Daming, even if they offend a few words, there will be no consequences, and Daming has never hit that kind of place." Zhu Houzhao clasped his hands to his chest, raised his eyebrows and said, "But they made a mistake in their wishful thinking." Gaochang is the hometown of the Han and Tang dynasties, in fact, where there is no homeland, I knocked down the land of the Yarkand Khanate, and decades or hundreds of years later, it became the hometown of the Han and Tang dynasties. ”

Zhou Shangwen was slightly stunned, isn't this what 'stinky hooligans' are talking about?

But he can't talk about this kind of thing, so he can only 'uh' and then be silent.

"But you can put the Xinjiang matter aside for a while. This time I summoned you back to Beijing, and since you are back, then you can rest well. A few days later, I will convene my ministers again to discuss the frontier strategy of the Ming Dynasty, you are a general, you have guarded the frontier, you have been on the battlefield, there are some situations that only you know. ”

Zhou Shangwen was still a little keen, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty has a life, and the minister can naturally say a sentence or two, but the minister wants to ask for His Majesty's will." ”

That is to say, what you mean by the emperor, and what you mean, I will say what you mean.

Zhu Houzhao was also a little convinced.

Zhou Shangwen was slightly innocent, "Your Majesty said that the generals ...... It's about being direct. ”

Zhu Houzhao: "......"

"Come on. My meaning is simple, I don't want to receive any more information about people plundering my borders and taking my people captive. I want to clean them all up. Some people may say that I am extravagant and squander national power, but as an emperor, I always have to make some credit to future generations, I don't believe in the twists and turns in the mouths of literati, I believe that future generations are also flesh and blood, even if I do something wrong. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao sighed, "The Ming Dynasty has been around for a hundred years, and we can't just leave a sad parting from ancient times, but also have some things like Jin Ge Iron Horse, so that they can pass on to future generations, so that their Top Guns can have multiple sources." ”

This is the words of Hewuren's heart, Zhou Shangwen clenched his fist, "The minister understands!" ”

"Well, I've already talked to the cabinet about this matter first, so you can only get ready. Besides, have you read the "Historical Records"? ”

"Minister, I haven't read it."

"It's okay, I'm just telling you. Wenchen will mention the four words of righteousness and righteousness in his mouth, and the implication is that there is no reason for Daming to beat others. But whenever someone asks you, don't be stunned, just know that you obey me. You can tell them a passage from the Chronicles. ”

"Please ask the emperor for advice."

The original words are like this: Thirty-five years, Chu Vasui. Yes also. Then he said: I am not guilty.

Chu said: I'm a barbarian. ”

Zhou Shangwen continued to ask: "I don't know what it means? ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't explain, waved his hand, "Go ask Xie Pi or Jing Yang." ”

In fact, Xie Pi and Jing Yang are also more 'difficult to speak'.

Later, it was Jing Yang who said it, he whispered it at the door, and after finishing speaking, Zhou Shangwen couldn't cry or laugh, how could he really play a hooligan.
