Chapter 8: Old Wei
A moment later, Wei Zhongxian walked in, and Sun Chengzong hurriedly bowed down and shouted:
"Xiaguan Sun Chengzong has seen nine thousand years old.".
Wei Zhongxian didn't say a word, he directly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Chengzong, and shouted:
"Old grandson, our family is here just to let you tell our family about the Liaodong matter, what do you think?"
Sun Chengzong was taken aback, he knew that Wei Zhongxian was uneducated, and he had wandered the market in his early years, and he was quite a hooligan, but he didn't expect that this time he would directly stop him.
And he also called himself the old grandson!
At this moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Nine thousand years old, Xia Guan is just a mere right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, how can he have any opinions on such a big matter." ”
Hearing Sun Chengzong's not salty or indifferent prevarication, Wei Zhongxian's eyes flickered, he thought about it, and simply said:
"Old grandson, you know that our family looks down on the Donglin Party, but this does not mean that our family looks down on you, they all say that you are proficient in military affairs, so our family has come to ask about Liaodong, don't shirk it."
Sun Chengzong didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to be so direct, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again:
"Nine thousand years old is really too elevated to the lower officials, you know, the lower officials are born as jinshi, and it is okay to be literate, but it is absolutely impossible to talk about military affairs."
Seeing that Sun Chengzong was still so shirking, Wei Zhongxian directly bowed ninety degrees to the other party, and shouted:
"Old grandson, I'll give you a salute first, and then don't give me those useless words, you are Your Majesty's teacher, sharing worries for Your Majesty is a matter of duty, if you push back again, you will look down on me Wei Zhongxian, and you will also be disrespectful and disloyal to Your Majesty!"
Seeing this scene, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be touched, and said secretly in his heart:
"It seems that the outside world's evaluation of Wei Zhongxian is not true, and this person still has some merit."
Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed to Wei Zhongxian and said:
"Since the nine-thousand-year-old can afford to be below, then let's talk about it directly."
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, patted Sun Chengzong and said, "What is it called nine thousand years old?" Since our family calls you Lao Sun, if you can afford our family, you might as well call me Lao Wei. ”
Sun Chengzong waved his hand again and again, he was really a little confused at the moment, Wei Zhongxian in front of him was simply a different person, which gave him a feeling that was not very real.
After a while, the two of them came to the study, and after the servant served the tea, they withdrew.
Sun Chengzong looked at Wei Zhongxian and said seriously: "Xia Guan thinks that Houjin is not to be feared, but if you do the following things, you will have no worries." ”
As soon as he heard this, Wei Zhongxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he urged repeatedly: "Old grandson, come and listen to it." ”
Sun Chengzong smiled and said nothing, but took out a map from the bookshelf and spread it out in front of Wei Zhongxian.
"Nine thousand years old, please look, this is where Houjin is."
Sun Chengzong pointed to the map and said: "In front of Houjin is my Ming Dynasty, to the east is the Goryeo Kingdom, and to the west is the Mongolian tribes, and here. ”
He tapped a spot on the map with his hand, and then said, "This is Phi Island, a sharp blade that my Ming Dynasty has inserted in Houjin's back. ”
Although Wei Zhongxian has no culture, he is quite proficient in fighting and rectifying people, and when he heard Sun Chengzong's words at this moment, he suddenly had some understanding, and hesitated:
"Old Suntou, do you mean to unite these people to do that Nurhachi?"
Sun Chengzong glanced at Wei Zhongxian with some surprise, he really didn't expect the other party to be so perceptive, and suddenly smiled:
"Nine thousand years old eyes are like torches, and the lower officials admire them."
After saying this, he put away the map, the two sat down again, Sun Chengzong looked at Wei Zhongxian and said seriously:
"If you can do the following things well, you will have no worries."
Wei Zhongxian nodded again and again, looking itchy and unbearable.
"First, the nine thousand years old must make the imperial court befriend Goryeo, second, the Ming Dynasty should encircle the Mongolian tribes, do not let them fall into the arms of the Houjin, and third, keep the garrison of Phi Island intact."
Sun Chengzong said: "In this way, not only is the Ming Dynasty worry-free, but once the time is ripe, I will be able to swing the Northeast and win the Houjin Thief in one fell swoop." ”
After saying this, Sun Chengzong looked at Wei Zhongxian with a smile, and the latter was overjoyed when he heard this, clapped his hands and exclaimed:
"Okay, you old grandson, you are really proficient in military affairs, you are the secretary of this military department."
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong knew that Wei Zhongxian would no longer prevent him from serving as the defense of Liaodong, but for a while, she couldn't understand why.
But he saw Wei Zhongxian take out a file from Jinyiwei from his arms, handed it to Sun Chengzong, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
Sun Chengzong took a closer look at the dossier, and after a while, he shouted in a lost voice: "The medicine god manifests? ”
The dossier tells the story of Nurhachi's fourteenth son, Dolgon, who lost too much blood in the Battle of Quang Ninh and was on the verge of death, when a Han Chinese child saved Dolgon with the Great Method of Exchanging Blood.
The child's name is Lin Ping'an, who claims to be the god of medicine and teaches this method to himself.
Nurhachi had ordered his wife to be admitted to the hospital, and wanted to popularize this method among the Later Jin army.
"Old Sun Tou, is it really auspicious from heaven to Houjin, otherwise how could there be a manifestation of the medicine god?"
Wei Zhongxian frowned and asked a little nervously.
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong didn't speak for a long time, he didn't care if it was the manifestation of the medicine god, what he cared about was that if this method was really popularized in the Houjin army, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Ming army.
So he, like Wei Zhongxian, frowned, stood up and began to pace in the study.
Sun Chengzong worked as a tutor in the home of the Ming official Fang Shoushi in his early years, and later because Fang Shoushi was promoted to the governor of Datong, he followed him to Datong, a border town in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to teaching, he had a strong interest in the military, and liked to talk with border veterans and low-level officers, and knew from their mouths that in the battle, many sergeants did not die from direct trauma, but due to excessive blood loss that could not be treated.
So at this moment, Sun Chengzong's face was extremely solemn, he pondered for a long time, and then he stopped and asked Wei Zhongxian:
"Dare to ask nine thousand years old, is there anyone else in Shengjing in our Daming?"
Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and then a trace of arrogance appeared on his face, and he said lightly:
"My Jinyi Wei Wuying Division is all over the world, you just want the snacks in the Shengjing Palace, and my old Wei can also bring them to you."
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but gasp, and said secretly in his heart:
"It is said that Jinyiwei's secret probing into the mercury is pervasive, and it seems that this is the case."
His expression was suddenly a little excited, and he grabbed Wei Zhongxian's hand in a few steps, and said in a hurried tone:
"Then take it back."
"What? Do you really want to eat the dim sum in the Shengjing Palace? ”
Wei Zhongxian was stunned.
"Alas, you misunderstood!"
Sun Chengzong shook his head again and again and said, "I mean to take the blood exchange Dafa back to Daming!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Wei Zhongxian suddenly lowered his head and thought about it, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a cold voice:
"If you can't get it back, you will ruin him, in short, you can't cheapen those post-gold thieves."
After saying this, he got up, arched his hand at Sun Chengzong, and turned around and left directly.
"Just gone?"
Sun Chengzong looked at Wei Zhongxian's back, and a feeling of extreme unreality surged in his heart.
He grinned, frowned, shook his head again, and said to himself with a wry smile:
"Old Wei? How dare you be so funny! ”
From this moment on, Sun Chengzong seemed to have a new understanding of the eunuch in the eyes of the Donglin Party, and this understanding brought him a strong ideological impact, which made him a little trance at this time, and seemed to be mixed with a trace of emotion.
