Li Chengliang shook his head and looked embarrassed: "Not yet. But we don't have to worry. Lord Qi is here too. Let's sit down and discuss a complete solution. In short, it's just to force him to submit."

Chang Sihao thought he was a man who was so cool and straightforward. Lord Qi and he were in the same heart as him. There should be no problem. He no longer doubted it now. From then on, the three of them stuck in the arrow tower and investigated the soil everywhere. The barbarian military situation discussed this matter and discussed it for more than ten days. The plan was decided. Chang Sihao said goodbye to the two generals. Li Shuangji and others brought more than ten cavalry guards to the capital. The two generals Li Qi led the crowd to send them five miles to say goodbye. When he and his group disappeared from sight, Li Chengliang raised his palm and patted Qi Jiguang heavily. He laughed. He returned to the city and re-arranged the banquet to celebrate. Qi Jiguang also opened up. He drank happily. Li Chengliang said: "From now on, your brother won't have to be angry with that bird anymore." Qi Jiguang smiled and said: "I have to thank Brother Ruqi for his brilliant plan to save me." Li Chengliang raised his glass and said: "A small matter is done. "Qi Jiguang drank it all over and said, "Happy." He was a little hesitant: "But if I come out, the Marquis will lose one helper in the capital. After all, it is better to take Xu than to avoid Xu. It is really possible to defeat Xu Jie. That's how It's a one-time and all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-

Li Chengliang smiled and said, "You, don't be stupid. Yan Song can't beat Lao Xu. Others are not his opponents. They play theirs. Let's play ours. Each of them plays one set. Only then can they play for a long time. You interfere Go in and play with others. Then you have to follow the rules. Wouldn't it be more and more awkward to go?" Qi Jiguang realized it was reasonable and said, "But... if we fail this plan, what can we do?" Li Chengliang said with a smile. : "The plan is not done. Xiao Chang has left too. Let's give it a Qi Dong Qi, Qi Dong Gu Long Winter Spear." As he said that, he was a second-hand one, a crooked face, raised his eyebrows, and made a feather The appearance of the pheasant tail is a stylist that makes Qi Jiguang laugh.

Longqing learned that Chang Sihao was back to Beijing and summoned him. He heard that he was stationed in Liaoyang for many days. He had not seen Tuman attack. He nodded and took out a report from the desk: "This was just rumored by Huaian, Hebei yesterday. The news came. It was said that a thief invaded Chaigou Castle. The garrison Han Shangzhong was killed in battle. The soldiers and civilians were slaughtered. No one was left. It was probably because of their actions. Now the horses are gone and the people are empty."

Chang Sihao knew that Huaian was already very close to Datong. Tuman might not be able to go so far. But he was not convenient to say more. He took out a drawing from his arms as if he was sure. He looked at it himself. He spread it on the table. He said, "Your Majesty. This is the northern defense zone map drawn by General Li." Long Qing looked around and saw the curves on the map, covered with dots, convex characters, several-character marks and dense small flags. Chang Sihao pointed to a curve from west to east and said, "This is the border of our Ming Dynasty." He also pointed to the large dot near the middle edge of the line and said, "This is the capital." He moved his head all the way to the northeast. : "These convex characters and a few characters are fortification bases and the Great Wall. The small flag is a place where there are garrisons. According to General Li, due to disrepair, this section and this section. Many places have been destroyed. Unbearable. The more important problem now is that there are too few troops in the north..."

Long Qing shook his head and said, "There are 100,000 soldiers on this line. How could it be that there are few?" Chang Sihao said, "There are indeed a lot of 100,000 soldiers. But look at how many of these strongholds are there. The border line is long and there are many strongholds. Our army Dispersed. When the Tartars and Tumans came, tens of thousands of cavalry attacked a little. They fought a quick attack. Our army was outnumbered and they were unable to save them. Therefore, they often suffered a great loss..." He had to continue talking . I heard from the eunuch report: "Ge Lao Xu, the third prince has arrived." Long Qing smiled and said, "Let them come in."

After a while, the old and the young walked into the house. When Zhu Yijun saw his father, he ran quickly as if he threw his hand into his arms. Suddenly, he heard Xu Jie making a long and muffled nasal sound behind him. He quickly stopped his steps. He walked over with his face and said steadily, "My son Yijun, pay homage to the father."

Long Qing smiled and said, "Okay, okay. I have only been with the old master for two days. I understand the rules so much. What did I learn today?" Zhu Yijun said, "Go back to my father. My son learned the court ceremony." Long Qing asked, "Then." Have you learned it with your heart?" Zhu Yijun said, "Of course, if you don't, just hit the palm." As he said that, he stretched his hand forward. Longqing saw that his little hand was red, and his brows frowned slightly, and he glanced at Xu Jie. He smiled and said, "The Master of the Lord punishes you for your own good. If you don't learn etiquette, how can you be the crown prince?"

Xu Jie's eyelids drooped and said slowly: "The third prince is smart, smart, smart, and smart. He is just a floating heart and a moving heart. He is nothing more than a young man's character. The old minister is ordered to teach him. But he seeks to choose and develop and guide him step by step."

Since it is "direct induction", it will naturally not be punished. Chang Sihao saw Zhu Yijun lowering his head and lingering behind Long Qing's legs. There was a wise flash in his eyes. He knew that he must not like to learn. He was especially in front of his father. He laughed and said, "You can only have a good fight. You can only have a memory when you hit. People say that filial sons are under the stick, let alone this golden gate and jade house." Zhu Yijun looked at this side and looked a little smile on his face. He pulled the corner of his father's clothes and said, "Father, my great companion. I want a great companion." Long Qing said, "Okay, okay." He called, "Go and call Yongting." The eunuch went away.

Xu Jie put his sleeves on his hands and said without squeezing his eyes: "Emperor. Since Wang Zhen and Liu Jin, our Ming Dynasty has suffered a great disaster. The prince is the manifestation of the sun. He has not been in harmony with the eunuch and the eunuch is involved in the narrow-minded spirit of a villain. ”

Long Qing smiled: "What the Master said is, it's just that children love their companions. It's a normal human relationship. Yongting was serving me when he was in Yu Mansion. He was still very good at dealing with people and things."

Xu Jie said: "I heard that although he had stepped down from the position of the East Factory, he arranged for an adopted son to do his job for him. This man was so arrogant and prosperous at such a young age. Now everyone in the factory calls him For the sake of "Ancestor An". He is really arrogant."

Chang Sihao smiled and said, "Ah. Ge always said Xiao Anzi. This child was ordered by the emperor to be in the East Factory. He is also a young man's character. He is a bit naughty. He likes to tell a joke to the officials below. Ge. How come you take it seriously?”

Xu Jie's eyes swept slanted: "Dongchang is a key tool for the country. It's not a place for children to play with."

At this time, Feng Bao reported to the scene outside. Long Qing was correct. He smiled and said, "The Master of the Court is in charge of major affairs in the court. Why bother with it? When Ronghua comes next time, I will tell him to clean up the factory affairs."

Feng Bao walked into the hall to show his respect. When Zhu Yijun saw him, he ran out from behind his father and threw himself on his lap and said, "Big companion." Feng Bao saw Xu Jie's face was not kind, and he coaxed the child lightly. He turned to him and said, " "Feng Bao pays me a favor to the elder."

Xu Jie breathed out his nose and said in a deep voice: "Give up." He looked away, but he swept the map on the table and asked: "The Marquis of Yunzhong returned from the border north of Liaodong. I don't know what the situation of the Tumen army is." Long Qing said: "The Master of the Pavilion is asking just right. I am just trying to discuss it with you." He said Bian Kuan and Chang Sihao intentionally asked for the increase of troops. Finally, he asked: "I don't know what Master of the Pavilion thinks about this." .”

Xu Jie smiled slightly: "The old minister thinks that what the Marquis of Yunzhong said is very true." Chang Sihao felt a little surprised. Then he heard Xu Jie continue to say: "The Liaodong line is the Tuman, Duoyan is a big problem, especially the Tuman. The Tuman. After Zasaktu Khan came to power, he raised his troops and kept his horses. He always wanted to go south. This man was young and ambitious. He was ten times more aggressive than the original little prince. It was actually the biggest hidden worry in northern Beijing. Duoyan's Dong Fox and his nephew Chang'ang is also growing and growing. In the future, it is inevitable that it will be launched. According to the old ministers, we must have a capable minister, the governor of Ji Liao. We organize arms, train troops and hunt the borders. Only then can the capital be worry-free."

Longqing asked, "In the opinion of the elders, who should I send to you?"

Xu Jie said: "It is not necessary for Tan Lun, the Minister of War."

Sihao and Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang discussed strategies in recent days. They also counted who could help in the court now. They are not unfamiliar with the name Tan Lun. When they knew that this person was in the south, they had also been Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. His boss has outstanding military achievements. But after Hu Zongxian had an accident, he saw the situation and turned to Xu Jie with all his might. Therefore, he was not persecuted, but was promoted to the Ministry of War and became the right minister. According to his current words, if he had let him Tan Lun was in charge of military affairs in Bianbei. Xu Jie was equivalent to installing another party member. It turned out that he had been talking for a long time and made wedding clothes for others. He hurriedly interrupted: "Your Majesty, how can you use this kind of thing to the Ministry of War What about the important minister? In my opinion, let Lord Qi stay in Liaodong and increase troops to practice. That's it."

Xu Jie smiled calmly and said, "The Marquis's words are bad. The border defense involves the safety of the capital. How can we take it lightly? Moreover, it is not enough to just increase troops to Liaodong. In the past two years, the border is in a state of slackening, leading to the Tatars and the local barbarians. Rampant. This time, if you want to move, you must make drastic moves and thoroughly rectify the military affairs on the Northeast. Lunnai led the commander and commanded Qi, and General Yu Er commanded the battle in the south for many years. He sent him there. He was still afraid that he would be in trouble. And how could it be done if only Lord Qi is left behind?"

Chang Sihao was worried. He always felt that he had planned this before. He was about to fight again. Long Qing sighed and said, "The candidate is not a problem now. What is important is where the military expenditure comes from. Our financial situation is He has been in a tight situation for many years. He can't spread more taxes on the people." As he said that, his eyes raised from the map and turned to Xu Jie: "I'm afraid I have to worry about this matter. Think more about it." Xu Jie said that He covered his hand and said, "The old minister should do his best to help the king and father."

Longqing nodded and said, "Well, Master Ge said this. I feel at ease. Raising military expenses is not easy. It is better to hurry up. Let me leave the matter to Zhang Taiyue first. Master Ge devotes himself to doing this." As he said that, he glanced down and his eyes stopped on Feng Bao's face. Xu Jie said, "Yes." Feng Bao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to Qingming Festival in a few days. Should we also prepare? The imperial tomb is going to worship the old emperor." Long Qing smiled suddenly and said, "Well, isn't it? Without my father-in-law's reminder, I will forget. Master Xu. Come and draw a decree for me. I will decree all officials. Everyone is ready. Follow me to Yongling to worship my ancestors and sweeping the tombs." Xu Jie turned his head and said, "Your Majesty, you can't." Long Qing frowned slightly. Then he changed his smile and said, "Grade Master. I first ascended the treasure last year. I was already It is time to worship ancestors. But there are many things in the court. It has never been done. Now Qingming is approaching. Ordinary people have to burn paper and plant willows. As the emperor, I cannot worship in front of the grave. I may not be in line with filial piety."

Xu Jie slowly dropped his arm, lowered his eyebrows and looked down: "Emperor, the wise kings in ancient times ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. However, filial piety benefited relatives. Benevolence benefited the people. The people are the first to be close to relatives. Therefore, benevolence is the first to be close to filial piety. Today, my son is traveling. The soldiers guarded the chariots and horses, which was a huge storm and disturbed the people. I hope the emperor puts the people first. If you want to worship your ancestors, it can be held in the Taimiao. The same is true."

Longqing's eyes were cold: "Gemaster Xu. Last year, I was going to worship my ancestors. You blocked them from both sides. Now you use the people as an excuse. Could it be that I went to the tomb of my father and emperor to worship and become unkind and unrighteous. Is it a pussy?"

Xu Jie was unmoved at all. He said earnestly: "Emperor. Last year, the Tatars came to attack. The capital was in a tight defense. Now, although the Tatars retreated, there were also local barbarians who were in chaos. Even if the people were not put first, the emperor was in charge of the world. .We should also consider our own safety. Do not make things difficult for all officials and old ministers."

Chang Sihao said: "I also know the situation of the imperial tomb. The terrain is dangerous. It is surrounded by mountains. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Whether it is Tatars or the terrain barbarians, it is impossible to lead a horse team to raid. Why should the elders be so worried "Long Qing smiled and said, "What Brother Yu said is very true. This time you will accompany me. First, we will worship my father and second, we will just protect my safety."

Xu Jie saw that he was like this. He had to go. He pondered and bowed and said, "If the emperor insisted on going, the old minister would not dare to disobey him. He just hoped that the emperor would agree to the old minister's thing."

Longqing said: "What's the matter?"

Xu Jie's eyes raised upwards: "The emperor should concentrate on his work in the tombs. Do not change his way as he pleases. Otherwise, he may be disrespectful to his ancestors and ancestral schools."

Originally, Longqing had been stuck in the palace since he ascended the throne and had no chance to go out for a walk. Last year, he finally thought of the excuse of worshiping the tomb. He raised it three times in a row, but was stopped by Xu Jie. Now he is catching up with Qingming Festival and is preparing to take the opportunity to go to the spring. I was traveling around for a while. Unexpectedly, he was hit by the vital points with one sentence and completely blocked the door. However, I couldn't argue with him about this matter. Otherwise, I would have missed it all. I smiled embarrassedly and said, "Where is the Lord Ge talking about this?" When it comes to the words, you must be solemn and solemn in worshiping the tombs. How can I not know?" Xu Jie bowed his head and said, "The emperor has faith in filial piety and brotherhood. It is because the old minister has been too worried."

Chang Sihao saw that the two of them looked disappointed and strange. He couldn't guess what they were selling for. He waited until he said goodbye to the emperor and listened to Feng Bao explaining the inside story. Then he understood the foundation and said, "The emperor is in the palace." I faced the golden palace and red walls all day long. Although I was accompanied by beauties in the harem, I was just a polygamous monk. Wanli Jiangshan said it was his, but I couldn't see it at first glance. What's the point? It's nothing wrong with finding an opportunity to go out and relax. Why did Mr. Xu still stop this little thing? Wouldn't he be disliked?"

Feng Bao put Zhu Yijun down and let him run away. He said, "Oh. When Emperor Yingzong personally led the army to conquer the Oirat, he was first captured at Tumu Fort. Emperor Wuzong liked to go out to the palace to enjoy and enjoy it. He abandoned political affairs. In the end, he learned to fish and fell into the water. Death from illness and disasters are caused by such incidents. With such lessons, court officials must be careful and beware of them."

Chang Sihao's eyes were far away: "It seems that I just follow the emperor's thoughts. I'm afraid I'll be regarded as a treacherous." Feng Bao exclaimed to Tianyi: "It's said that life is like a play, but life is like it is on the stage." Simple, good and evil are clear. It's a good thing. Take the matter of stealing the emperor out of the palace to Yanxiang Pavilion. It's just that I was responsible for the blood sea. Fortunately, I got rid of danger and became a disaster. Otherwise, I would not be regarded as the second king. Victory.”

Chang Sihao knew very well that this was indeed the case. He thought for a moment and was speechless.

Zhu Yijun smiled behind the Red Pillar and showed his head: "Big companion. I am a treacherous minister. Come and catch me."
