A knife in love

Chapter 2100
Zhao Da sighed at this point, and then continued: "People in the world only know that the hardest work in the world is the hardest work in the world. They don't know that many people sit on the top of the temple. , talking and laughing happily during the banquet, seemingly relaxed and precious, but they don't know that they have expended more effort than farmers and sergeants. During the few days when the master was in the Tartar army camp, it was like a serious illness. Xiao Seeing the owner swaying on the horse, with a few more strands of white hair growing between his temples, I felt sorry for him."

When Wang Xiaoyu heard what Zhao Da said, his heart ached.Zhao Da went on to say: "As for the covenant agreement between my master and the commander of the Tazi soldiers, we servants naturally don't know. After returning to the city, the master immediately repaired a letter and expedited it for [-] miles. Send them to the capital. A few days later, the envoys sent by the imperial court and the army who came to help finally arrived at the border. Department sales are poor.

"According to what the villain saw, the master was willing to take risks on this trip to the Tartar army camp. He skillfully dealt with the enemy chieftains and saved the lives of the city and tens of thousands of soldiers and common people. He has made great contributions and the court will surely be promoted. His official position. Unexpectedly, after the master returned to the capital, the court reprimanded the master, saying that he was "cowardly and afraid of fighting, and that he signed an alliance with the enemy chieftain, which insulted the state", and said that he was "pretending to make an alliance, and his heart was different." I don't know', there are various crimes. Although the villain has no knowledge, he also knows that any one of these crimes is enough to confiscate the family and destroy the family. After hearing the news, many timid servants and servants in the mansion were afraid of being implicated. He sneaked away overnight, but within a few days, only the villain and three or four loyal old slaves were left in the huge mansion. The master just sighed when he saw this situation. The villain knew that although he didn't speak, But also chilled by these people.

"Fortunately, although there are many treacherous officials in the court, after all, there are still a few loyal ministers who speak for my master. Therefore, in the end, the court reprimanded the master and asked him to 'take the crime and make meritorious service, and guard the border court', and sent him back to the border to serve as a consolation envoy." The master originally thought that he must be unlucky, but he didn’t expect not only to save his life, but also to be sent out as a comfort envoy. He was quite lucky, and he refused to stay in the capital for a day, so he took us back to the border.

"After entering the city, we didn't know what happened to the court. It turns out that the big bosses in the court didn't want to start a war with the Tartars, and only wanted the border guards to guard the city. Unexpectedly, the guards went out of the city to fight without authorization, and the entire army was wiped out. If they were investigated, Officials from the six ministries of the imperial court could not escape their ties. My master turned the tide and made great contributions, but these dirty officials seemed to have grasped at straws to save their lives. They used the excuse that my master had not obtained the imperial edict and entered into a covenant with the Tartars privately, so they messed up the matter It was out of control. This group of bastards wanted to blame my master for the defeat of the army, and took the opportunity to escape the crime. Fortunately, several upright ministers spoke for my master. In the end, although the master was punished, his life was still alive. saved.

"Later, the villain listened to his master's chat and learned that he had written a false covenant before he went to the Tartar army camp. It turned out that the master was an official in the capital and knew the situation of the Tartars well. It was just to plunder food, money, livestock and people, and had no intention of seizing the Central Plains. The imperial court ordered the city to be closed and not to do business with the Tartars. How could the Tartars survive without salt, iron, cloth and silk? This is why they went crazy Gather heavy troops, want to break the border, and force the court to open the market. Therefore, my master made an appointment in the false covenant he concocted to make an agreement between the two countries to reopen the market. The Tartars rebelled, just to open the market. Why not be able to trade with the Central Plains? Therefore, after seeing the covenant, the commander of the Tartar soldiers was overjoyed, so he sent someone to bring the covenant horse to meet the Tartar king and ask for advice. The Tartar king Without further ado, he stamped the great seal and sent the covenant back to the camp.

"At that time, the commander of the Tartar army had received a secret report saying that officers and soldiers came from the east every day and entered the city. He only knew that the reinforcements from the Celestial Dynasty had arrived, so he naturally did not dare to attack the city. After returning to the covenant, I agreed with my master to stop the army. In order to avoid future troubles, the two sides agreed that no large troops should be stationed in the border cities, and each would withdraw their troops and horses. Later, the real envoy sent by the imperial court negotiated with the Tartars. The false covenant drawn up by the master did not change, so he signed the covenant with the Tartars. Afterwards, almost all the soldiers and horses guarding the border retreated, so my master went to the border to serve as a conciliator. In fact, there were only a few hundred old and weak soldiers under him. The people in the city Seeing that there is no one guarding the city, fearing that the Tartar soldiers will come to harass them again, they all moved their families to the interior, so the desolation inside and outside the city has reached this state."

When Zhao Da said this, he paused for a while, sighed, and continued: "Although my master is called a comfort envoy, he is actually a demoted official, not much different from a prisoner sent to the frontier. Fortunately, Qushi Re-opening, plus the fact that this place has been repeatedly attacked by war, most of the houses and land have been destroyed, and the people have fled, so there is nothing to fish for, so the Tartar soldiers do not come to harass us, and we live here happily and peacefully. It's a pity that my master has a beautiful heart and can only be wasted in the deserted city, which is really lamentable."

The two talked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of a big house.I saw that the gate was towering and looked extremely mighty.There is a large plaque hanging on the forehead, on which are written the eight gold characters "Xihuang Road Pacifier Yamen", but it seems that it has not been wiped for a long time, and it looks a little worn out at first glance.

Zhao Da rode his horse under the stone steps in front of the gate, and immediately got off his horse. He was about to help Wang Xiaoyu off the horse, but he saw Wang Xiaoyu's body stretched, and he had already stood firmly on the ground.Zhao laughed and praised Wang Xiaoyu a few words, then led the mount and led Wang Xiaoyu into the courtyard through the small door on the left.

After entering the door, there is a huge courtyard in front of you, which can accommodate thousands of people.Wang Xiaoyu didn't expect such a scene inside the gate, so he couldn't help being startled, and couldn't help but said: "The gate of this yamen has already amazed me, I didn't expect that there is such a big courtyard inside the gate. Only this courtyard is already equal to the size of my Sanjin's house."

Zhao Da said with a smile on his face: "Miss, I don't know. This is the first place I entered the courtyard. This is the place where the pacifier of Xihuang Road sent troops. This city was originally an important border town, and tens of thousands of troops were stationed on weekdays." If there is a war, all the soldiers and horses rushing to help will enter the city, and the generals who command the troops will work in the Yamen of the appeasement. If the courtyard is too small, I am afraid that hundreds of generals will not be able to stand, and the entire army will not be able to stand. The majesty of the coach."

Wang Xiaoyu looked around while walking with Zhao Da.In addition to the huge size of the first courtyard, there is also a large hall at the end, which is about ten feet wide and four or five feet high, with white walls and black tiles, red pillars and blue windows, which is very majestic.Wang Xiaoyu thought to himself, before I heard Mr. Shu tell the story of the generals of the Yang family, which mentioned that the Yin'an Palace in Tianbo Mansion is magnificent and solemn, and what I thought in my heart was the appearance of this hall in front of me.It's just that I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to see what Yin'an Temple looks like with my own eyes.Daddy sat in the middle of this hall and ordered to send troops back then, what kind of power is that? !

Wang Xiaoyu couldn't help but be fascinated by the scene of generals in full armor standing in the yard in the past, and it was like a dream in an instant, completely forgetting where he was.
