The two old monsters entered the secret room, Bu Dongliu lit the candles in the secret room, and the fire lit up, shining on the vicissitudes of life on the face of the withered bamboo elder.

"If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, Your Excellency should not just come here this time to learn martial arts, right?"

In the face of Bu Dongliu's inquiry, Elder Kuzhu showed a calm demeanor, and said in ventriloquism: "Although the old man is from Miao Jiang, he is here to track down the fine work of a Wara. ”

Hearing that some people were talking about Wara, Bu Dongliu's old face changed slightly, showing a look of displeasure, after all, the war between Warat and Daming took hundreds of thousands of lives, and the lives were ruined, and the people were not happy.

"What do you mean by that?"

"A hundred years ago, there was a woman in Miaojiang who was emotional, fell in love with a craftsman, defected from Miaojiang, and went to the Central Plains with that person. However, the craftsman, as the chief architect of the palace, was involved in a struggle and died for no reason. ”

Listening to the ventriloquist of Elder Kuzhu, Bu Dongliu could feel the outstanding talent of the craftsman back then, if he wanted to become the chief architect of the empire, he must be the dragon and phoenix among the people, outstanding. It's a pity that the imperial city is like the sea, the palace gate is endless, as long as you are involved in the palace infighting, it is difficult to get out of the whole body, but it is a pity that a lifetime of talent.

At that time, the woman was pregnant, and a Mongolian master bumped into her and took her to the outside of the country. ”

In Elder Kuzhu's words as simple as possible, Bu Dongliu knew nothing about it, and according to the time calculation, he could feel some clues, and it should have been not long before Emperor Chengzu's first northern expedition.

Because of Qiu Fu's fiasco before, Chengzu Zhu Di decided to drive the expedition in person, and ordered the emperor's eldest grandson to stay in Beijing, and Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, tutored him, and was also in charge of the affairs of the ministry. Among the generals of Jingyuan Hou Wang You, Xue Lu and Ji Jie were appointed as hussar generals, Hou Yong and Chen Zhi were Shenji generals, Jin Yu and others were Yingyang generals, and Li Wen and others were chariot generals, and they were assigned to supervise their subordinates and not belong to the Fifth Army.

At that time, there were a total of 500,000 people, mighty, out of the Desheng Gate, bursting north.

On the second day of the first month of March, the division gathered Xinghe and read the oath of the division. From the first day of the first month of May to the Yuqu River, Zhu Dixing arrived, gave the name of the Drinking Horse River, and the flat land on the famous river was Pingmo Town. On the third day of the first month of the same month, he was attacked by a captive horseman, and returned with an arrow and four horses. On the 17th, he learned that the captives were not far from here, so he ordered the army to cross the Yuma River. Benya lost his life and fled, Zhu Di led a light cavalry to chase him to the Difficult River, and engaged him, Benya lost his life and fled, only seven horsemen fled. The Ming army could not pursue it and returned. On the 20th, Zhu Di ordered the division of troops to pursue Arutai. Arutai occupies a favorable area, retreats from time to time in war, and the Ming army is helpless. He sent someone to summon him to surrender, but Arutai hesitated. Held for many days, sometimes there were small victories. However, due to the hot weather, the soldiers could not last long, so they ordered the squad to return to Beijing on July 17.

Budong asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter?"

The Mongol was the Mongol prince, and he was on an envoy to Uszang in a vain attempt to reach an agreement with the monks, and only after receiving the news did he learn that his homeland had been destroyed. ”

"It's a coincidence. Bu Dongliu sighed.

"This is just the beginning, in order to take revenge, he tried to sneak into the palace, but he hit it off with the Miaojiang woman who wanted revenge, and several times he entered the palace and assassinated the three Shenhuo guards of the Shenji Battalion, and there was no hope of revenge so he had to evacuate Kyoto and return to the outside of the Saiwai. ”

After Bu Dongliu listened, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh, the Shenji Battalion back then has now gone down and is no longer brilliant, which seems to have a lot to do with this matter. He then asked, "These two people will definitely not give up, what will be the result?"

"As you may have guessed, the Miaojiang woman returned to Miaojiang with her child and was sentenced to death by burning herself, and then the child grew up in Miaojiang and became close friends with me. If it weren't for the fact that he was burdened with too much hatred, we wouldn't have to fight with our lives, which is a real pity. ”

After finishing speaking, he peeled off a thin skin on his neck, revealing a shocking scar, which was from left to right, as if his neck had been cut off, and he picked it up with magical powers, which was extremely unnatural.

Bu Dongliu was well-informed, looked at such a scar, showed a wry smile, and said, "If you guessed correctly, this injury should not be caused by a sharp sword, but a masterpiece of a Gu worm, right?"

"That's right, this is a lost Gu art, no one in the clan cultivates, presumably that woman planted it on him, he used his own essence and blood as a vessel, and cultivated that kind of fierce thing, called 'Flame Knife'. ”

Looking at the vicissitudes of life of Elder Withered Bamboo, Bu Dongliu finally understood why he couldn't speak, no matter who he was in the world, his vocal cords were completely bitten off, and he could no longer be voiced by his throat, but fortunately, this person's cultivation was profound, and he also knew ventriloquism, which did not hinder communication.

"What happened to the Mongol?"

"Presumably, Your Excellency also knows about the envoys sent by Warat to Beijing, right?"

Hearing Elder Withered Bamboo's words, Bu Dongliu nodded, and his memory went back to decades ago, when it was the winter and October of the seventh year of orthodoxy, the heavens and the earth were depressed, and the leaves were flying.

Waragong envoys to Beijing, there are scoundrels in the official army, with bows and horses, moving thousands. Officials accept bribes, but they do not say a word. After the governor of Datong and the right of the Xuanfu Yu Shi Luo Hengxin spoke, the court learned the truth.

His tribute made the bow, hidden in the undergarment, and took out the transit. The imperial court considered that Warat had always been good at this weapon, and this would only add to its prestige. Therefore, the edict asked the important ministers to secretly investigate the people who made bows in Beijing, investigate those who sold bows or exchanged bows for horses, and severely punished their crimes.

At that time, Yingzong ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to handle the matter in conjunction with Yousi, but he was not allowed to interrogate the envoys. The eunuchs guarding the border pass make dozens of arrows every year and give them to the envoys of Wara, relying on the protection of Wang Zhen and profiting from it.

And that Wang Zhen is a traitor and a villain, who profited from it, but ignored the country's social welfare, brought disaster to the country and the people, and left a stench for thousands of years.

Bu Dongliu gradually sensed the seriousness of the situation, and asked out loud: "What do you say have to do with the person you are looking for?"

"He went to Beijing with me to offer medicine, but suddenly attacked me, but I was in great trouble, he had to get close to Wang Zhen, and under the heavy bribe, he reached a conspiracy with the eunuch thief, which was the original plan of Tumubao. ”

Although it was expected, but when he heard the civil fort, Bu Dongliu was still a little gloomy, and the civil fort was a shame for the entire Ming Dynasty, and it was a wound imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In February of the 14th year of Ming orthodoxy, the leader of the Mongolian Wara tribe also sent more than 2,000 people to pay tribute to horses, falsely claiming to be 3,000 people, and invited the Ming Dynasty government to reward, because the eunuch Wang Zhen refused to give more rewards, according to the actual number of rewards, and subtracted four-fifths of the price of horses, failed to meet their requirements, and created a provocation. In July of that year, he commanded all the departments to harass the interior in four ways. On the east road, the east road will attack Liaodong by the Totobuhua and the Wuliang Ha department, and the west road, the faction will attack Ganzhou, and the middle road will be the focus of the attack, and it is divided into two groups, one is led by the Alazhi Academy, and directly attacks the Xuanfu siege of Chicheng, and the other is led by the first person to attack Datong.

also attacked Datong all the way first, "the soldiers were very sharp, the Datong soldiers lost, and the castle outside the fortress was sunk." Datong staff general Wu Hao died in Maoerzhuang, Bu Dongliu only regarded it as insufficient equipment at that time, and lost the battle, who thought that there was also a collusion with Wang Zhen and leaked intelligence.

In that battle, Yingzong was captured, and Fan Zhong, the general of the guard at the time, was so angry that he picked up a hammer and aimed it at Wang Zhen's head and smashed it down. Wang Zhen, the evil eunuch who brought disaster to the country and the people, finally ended up with a shameful end that he deserved.

The 500,000-strong army was wiped out, the three most elite battalions were destroyed, and the gates of the capital were opened.

Bu Dongliu only heard this result, and he didn't know how much bloody the specific process was.
