I am the king of the dead

Chapter 68

"I brought my father's handwritten letter, and I ask Your Majesty to read it." Tuo Gu handed the letter in his hand to Xing'an, who was standing by.

Tuogu is a person who understands the rules. His grandfather, Shabhutan, paid tribute to Daming many times.

Moreover, Sha Bhutan, the leader of Wuliangha, also brought Tuogu's mother many times, hoping to reach a marriage relationship with Daming.

But Daming's response was mediocre, and finally Tuogu's mother had to marry Tuotuobuhua.

Zhu Qiyu took the letter, opened it, and said blankly, "Is this Mongolian?"

"Father wrote Chinese characters..." Tuo Gu was taken aback.

He immediately realized that his father's words were really ugly. He was used to reading them and didn't feel anything.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the letter, the word can be written so badly, it really looks like a handwritten letter...

No one can imitate this.

Yu Qian took the letter, looked at it for a long time, and then said:
"His Majesty, the great emperor who unifies the four seas, the falcon brings greetings to His Majesty from the Heaven of Longevity. May His Majesty be like the sun and the moon in the sky, illuminating the four seas without leaving small ones, and like mountains, continuous and majestic and nourishing all things..."

Zhu Qiyu felt that this flattery was too blunt.

The literati in Daming were more reserved. They used the way of speaking in classical Chinese to flatter their ass not so blatantly.

Of course, it is also possible that Yu Qian is polishing it. After all, it is written like that, and the content will not be so beautiful.

There are four main points in this letter.

First: I hope that after leaving the customs first, the Daming Emperor can take time to go to Beigukou.

Second: Please print the envelope, and hope that the Emperor Daming can confer a prince to him and get Daming's support.

Third: It is hoped to exchange market with Daming, in order to facilitate the exchange of business and traffic, every year [-] horses from Houshan that have not been castrated as gifts, pay tribute to the Emperor Daming.

Fourth: I hope that the Ming army will not launch an attack on the withdrawal of the Yuan descendants from the pass, and they will also take the initiative to return the looted horses, civilians, prisoners of war, etc. to express their sincerity.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Tuo Gu, and then at Yu Qian, Yu Qian said nothing, while Tuo Gu was calm.

Tuogu is the sincerity of Tuotuo, he sent his most promising son to the capital of Daming, and will stay in the capital of Daming as a proton.

Holding the letter in his hand, Zhu Qiyu said with a smile, "It's getting late, Xing'an, you take Morun Taiji to the Siyi Pavilion to stay."

He didn't respond immediately, but let Tuo Gu stay first, and after discussing it, he informed Tuotuo Buhua.

Yu Qian knew that the emperor had something to ask him, so naturally he did not leave, waiting for Zhu Qiyu's inquiry.

"Shi Zongbing, Guang Ningbo, Commander Fan, and Governor Sun, have they all set off?" Zhu Qiyu asked the military first. According to expectations, Shi Heng, Liu An, Fan Guang, and Sun Tang will all set off at night, heading towards the reservation. Off to the battlefield.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Everyone has already set off, it's just..."

"It's just that before the general soldier left, he saw the chaos of the Oirat camp, so he went to harass him again, and placed the son and mother artillery outside the Oirat camp, and bombarded it several times in a row."

"It wasn't until the Oirat people prepared their troops for the battle that Chief Shi returned to the camp and went south to Qingfengdian."

Yu Qian's face was quite helpless. Shi Heng, he just walked away. Before leaving the camp, he went to attack at night before leaving.

"It's a pity." Zhu Qiyu said a pity again.

He said quite helplessly: "Wara is in chaos. If I am still alive, I can destroy the enemy in one battle! An let Wara be vicious in front of the capital!"

Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth with hatred, when did the Ming Dynasty suffer such grievances!
If the three major battalions of the capital of the Ming Dynasty were still in existence, none of this group of Watanabes would be able to escape!
It's just that the Daming army is currently a reserve force that has been training for more than a month. It has more than enough defense and is extremely weak in attack.

If they are besieged, they may steal chickens instead of losing rice.

"Tuotuo Buhua is really surrendering?" Zhu Qiyu picked up the letter from Tuotuo Buhua and asked in confusion.

Yu Qian said very seriously: "Your Majesty, what if he is sincere or not?"

"What we want is not his loyalty, but to involve the troops of the Oara people. When the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is restored, whether loyalty or sincerity is not worth mentioning."

Zhu Qiyu thought for a moment and said, "The number of horses is a bit small. The [-] horses in Houshan have not been castrated, which is too few, at least [-] horses. Not enough."

Yu Qian nodded and said, "I just need to talk about it. These prices will be negotiated."

"But this minister thinks that it is extremely inappropriate for His Majesty to go outside the Great Wall, and everything else can be discussed."

"Your Majesty's war horse is the Houshan horse. Although it is a little short, it is full of stamina. It has always been reserved for the cowardly army. I think that the good horses among the war horses can be regarded as sincerity."

Zhu Qiyu has lived in two generations, but they don't know much about horses. King Yu is not considered a prince, but his salary of [-] stone a year just happened to support the people of King Yu's mansion.

Both the big white horse and the war horse are the horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and this is the treatment only after the supervision of the country.

Yu Qian has been in charge of military affairs for many years. The Qianxue army is the elite of the Mongolian army. There are not many in number, but more than half of them are heavy cavalry. Three thousand horses are really not too small.

In the entire back mountain of Kent, I don't know if there are [-] horses, and very few can act as war horses.

"Okay." Zhu Qiyu put down the unrefined letter, picked up Yu Qian's memorial, and said a little strangely: "Yu Shangshu is busy with official business on weekdays, and the papers are in the form of paperwork, why do you have to put so much effort into writing this craftsman? What about the slack?"

"Every piece of Chen and Chen are smashing into it, did you have this idea long ago?"

Yu Qian looked at the doubts on Zhu Qiyu's face, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have been thinking about this question for a long time. This Ming's disease has entered the bone marrow, but there is no good medicine. minister."

"I just figured it out overnight. If I didn't understand anything before, I naturally had to write down this memorial overnight. I was afraid that if I died outside the city, this memorial would never be seen."

"Your Majesty, the so-called four people, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, are the pillars of the country since ancient times."

"However, Your Majesty, scholars can read and write well, but they spend their whole lives in official careers. There are less than 300 Jinshi in one subject in the Ming Dynasty, and there are only more than [-] Shujishi. Even if you count Juren, it is less than a thousand."

In fact, after the jinshi and the first place, in addition to the top three, that is, the champion, the third flower, and the second place, the rest of the jinshi have to take one round of examinations.

This round of exams determines their careers. If they are admitted to the Shuji Shi, they can serve as the chief of the six divisions and the censor in Beijing. If they fail to pass the Shuji Shi, Jinshi and No. [-], they are just going to Beijing to serve as county magistrates.

You may not be able to enter Beijing as an official in your life.

The inner volume of the Ming Dynasty scholar is also outrageous, and the volume is amazing.

Yu Qian continued: "But how many scholars are there in Daming? No less than one million."

"Although the law of the Great Ming Dynasty can be regarded as an official, most of them are county magistrates and cannot be promoted for life."

"There are so many scholars who read that they are getting old, and they may not be able to pass the exam. The minister is looking for a way out for them."

Zhu Qiyu finally understood Yu Qian's purpose, but his unintentional words showed Yu Qian a path.

Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce are all pillars of the country. Although there is no high and low on the surface, in fact, it is very clear.

Scholar, in fact, is a combination of two identities, scholar and official.

In order to try to run around for the rest of their lives, these scholars have not even been able to reach the threshold for entering an official position.

After reading books for a lifetime, without the strength to hold a chicken, and unable to fight a war, the craftsman seems to be another option.

"I'm worried, they're not happy, how much water can be splashed in this small pond still." Yu Qian shook his head again.

He just thought of this possibility, but whether the scholar is willing to take this road is not something he can control.

Zhu Qiyu put down the slogan of the craftsman and said with certainty: "If you are not happy, then you can't help them."

"Your Majesty..." Yu Qian hurriedly bowed his head to persuade him, but the emperor didn't say what to do, so Yu Qian didn't know how to refute.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Yu Shangshu is at ease, I know the severity."

Taishi Gong said it well, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is for profit. Why do scholars wander in the vicious circle of not being able to pass the examination, studying hard, and failing to pass the examination?
In the end, it's just a matter of fame and fortune.

These readers, if they are decent.

As for how to be decent, Zhu Qiyu has no time to think about it for the time being.

Zhu Qiyu said excitedly: "Yu Shangshu, did Tiqi ever arrange to fight?"

　Ask for recommendation, ask for monthly pass, ask for collection, ask for investment, in short, ask for everything! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
