After Zhou Shangwen left the palace, he went to Wang Bing's mansion non-stop, when he was still the general soldier of Datong, Wang Bing was the secretary of the military department.

When a person dies, he will not talk about the merits and demerits of his life.

Just worship before the spirit.

"Life is short, like a white horse passing through a gap, and in the end, it is not as enjoyable as a sentence of 'I am a barbarian'. I hope that the elder can rest in peace underground, and when he kowtows to the first emperor, don't forget to say that Zhengde once destroyed the enemy. ”

The next day, Zhang Xuan also came to visit him.

He brought the transcription of the note to the third prince of the Zhou Mansion, and the two sat opposite each other, Zhang Xuan smiled and waited for him to finish reading.

Zhou Shangwen would not be easily frightened, he raised his eyelids, "Elder Zhang Ge, what does this mean?" ”

"Of course, it's a favor for the Marquis of Jing. Hou Ye saw the emperor yesterday, the emperor shouldn't have mentioned it, right? ”

Zhou Shangwen is still unclear.

Zhang Xuan continued: "Song Shu, I was left by the emperor. ”

"The emperor and the king of the sage, will never be confused by people's frivolous words."

This is still said to guard against him.

Zhang Xuan is also the kind of person with a lot of personality, and he is now an old man in the court, if it weren't for the emperor's life, he wouldn't have come to the door so quickly, but this guy 'doesn't know how to lift'.

"Master Hou is right." As soon as he arched his hand, he immediately got up, "In this case, I will leave first, and the Hou Ye will stay." ”

And he was thinking in his heart that raising such a good thing at home would be a scourge sooner or later, and if he didn't listen to good words, there would be no way.

Zhou Shangwen didn't believe that he wanted nothing, but Zhang Xuan did turn around without any intention of turning back, and when one foot crossed the threshold, he couldn't help but say: "Zhang Ge, please slow down." ”

"Is there anything else to do with Master Hou?"

"This note...... I am still grateful to Zhang Ge for being able to inform me, this kindness, Jingyu Marquis Mansion will remember it in my heart. ”

Zhang Xuan had lost his good face at this time, "According to what the Hou Ye said, the emperor will not be easily confused." But what if it's all true? Since ancient times, military generals have relied on their own merits and do not take the monarch as the supremacy, and finally regret making a big mistake. Hou Ye couldn't listen to these words, so why should he say more? ”

Zhou Shangwen muttered in his heart, got up and personally invited people back, "Pavilion Elder, please take a seat." ”

This action is like the reality of a military general.

The military generals are away all the year round, and the ministers see the king every day, offending this kind of person, if you hand a knife behind your back, it will be troublesome.

Zhang Xuan didn't mean anything else, just make a friend and remind him at the same time.

"I really don't know much about the affairs in Beijing. Why His Majesty stayed in Zhongzhong, this is even more incomprehensible. I was a little shocked just now, and I didn't understand it in time, so I asked Zhang Ge not to blame him. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "The Marquis of Jinglu is relied on by the emperor, and his achievements will not stop today. Isn't the emperor going to discuss the situation on the Ming frontier again? ”

"The emperor also told his subordinates."

Therefore, at this time, we must restrain our relatives and subordinates, and we must not be pampered and arrogant, and make this kind of thing. Your Majesty is staying in the middle this time, is it staying in the middle again and again? Do you want Your Majesty to endure the people of the Zhou Mansion as traitors and criminals to be the son of heaven? How is this possible, what kind of person is Your Majesty?! ”

At this point, Zhou Shangwen began to sweat on his back.

"It's because I'm not strict with discipline!"

In fact, Zhang Xuan still hasn't said anything: Could it be that the Ming Dynasty will fight only one Zhou Shangwen?

Not necessarily.

However, the Son of Heaven stayed in China this time to maintain Zhou Shangwen, and Zhang Xuan realized this holy will. This kind of thing of wiping his ass is indeed not suitable for Wang Wei and Yang Tinghe.

At this point, it's actually pretty much the same.

After Zhang Xuan left, Zhou Shangwen called all three sons over and reprimanded them with pimps:

"How many times have I taught you! Don't come out on the outside! What about you? Not only did he not listen, but in the end, he also brought these things to the front of the emperor, do you want me to die as a father, and you are satisfied?! ”

……

……

Zhang Xuan later reported the details to Zhu Houzhao.

Because it was more subtle, Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything, only nodded and said he knew.

There is a kind of thing that is very annoying in governing the country, because you use people with shortcomings, not Confucius of the Manchu Dynasty.

Maybe you are using him, what do I rely on him, but he made a mistake at this time, do you say that you will kill him and punish him canonically, or do you turn a blind eye?

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. In doing so, it will show His Majesty's sanctity even more. You Di seemed to see the emperor's thoughts, so he patted the sycophants.

Zhu Houzhao sneered.

"In this world, no matter how complicated things are, they are not as complicated as people's hearts. When and how much force should be used, it is a university question. ”

Life is not, there is logic, life is completely disordered, random, you sometimes find it difficult to understand, how can this person do such a thing? But that's what happened, and that's where the pain sometimes comes from.

"The slave knows that nothing can escape the emperor's discernment, the emperor must see it accurately, and if he sees it accurately, he naturally knows how much force to use."

"Hmm. Zhou Shangwen is a great talent, I want to use it. This time, I hope he can wake up. It's okay to make mistakes, but don't make big mistakes, you are the same, occasional small mistakes are unavoidable, but big things can't be confused. Oh, by the way, go and ask Zhang Xuan, how much money he spent on compensation, say the number, I will make up for it. ”

You Ji said: "Your Majesty, this is a piece of Zhang Ge Lao's heart......"

"Let's go. It's not about money. I also want to ask for a peace of mind. ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and rubbed his eyebrows again, what kind of is this every day.

For the next hour, he had been resting in the warm pavilion until the attendant's room handed over a note and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Song asks to see you." ”

The emperor's eyelids opened suddenly, and the person sat up straight, "Xuan!" ”

Yan Songxin Chinese New Year's Eve six years old, and after being admitted to the Jinshi, he worked as an attendant officer, a salt auction house, and then a consolation secretary and deputy envoy in Guizhou...... It's also a rich experience.

"Minister Guizhou Xuanwei Department Tongzhi Yan Song, knock to see Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"It's coming, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao took a look, "Most people will be fatter when they reach middle age, why are you still thin, I want to come to that place and the environment is bad, and it hurts you." ”

It may be that the name Yan Song has magical powers, and Zhu Houzhao himself can't help but say some greetings to him.

Yan Song was also moved in his heart after hearing this, "The minister serves His Majesty, and he doesn't dare to say that he is hard." ”

"I've seen all the excerpts on you. You have made it very clear about the Tusi in the southwest, and in a few days I will convene the ministers to discuss the situation in the frontier areas and remote areas. Then you will also make a meeting and tell you what is going on there. ”

"Weichen obeys His Majesty's will!"

"Based on what you have seen in the past few years, what do you think the court should do?"

Yan Song said bluntly: "The minister thinks that he must firmly change the land and return to the stream, but he can't rush to achieve a lifetime of success. The reason why they must be firm is because Tusi is really a country within a country, and they divide one land and do not obey the imperial court, so it is imperative to change the land and return to the stream. The reason why you can't be in a hurry is because the mountains and roads are high and the roads are steep in remote places, and it is not easy for the imperial court to use troops. And because the land is barren, the taxes collected cannot be paid for it, so even if it costs a lot of money, it is a burden. ”

"According to you, it's better than nothing."

"No, it's not." Yan Song said with a little confidence, "The minister still thinks that the imperial court must continue to strengthen control, there was Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, and Dali in the Song Dynasty, and letting them do so is definitely not the good governance of our dynasty." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "It was right to let you go at the beginning, your words were insightful." In short, it is a sentence, the words of the court, they have to listen. ”

"Not bad. Your Majesty can know that during the Hongwu period, all the old Tusi of the old system of the imperial court died, and the replacement must be ordered by the court, although they were thousands of miles away, they all went to Que to take up their posts. But this system is only implemented in small and medium-sized toasts, but large toasts do not have to, the minister is quite strange, how can it be enlarged and grasp the small? ”

Zhu Houzhao's brows suddenly stood up, "Because the big toast orders not to move!" ”

Yan Song sighed, "During the Tianshun period, he went to Que to accept his post in name only, and finally died, and the prestige of the imperial court gradually relaxed. ”

"You and I don't have to say such beautiful things, nothing has happened, it's these people who don't take the court in their eyes at all, haha." Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed, stretched out his index finger and pointed, "Okay, I sometimes think, Zhengde should also have some prestige, right?" But it's useless, I have to try Daming's catties.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. I don't know who said this, and somehow it has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and some people want to brag about it, but they don't let me fight. I don't want to think that if there is no elite Ming army, this is simply an empty word! ”
