Jinyi Night Walk

Zhao Zijin said displeasedly: "How is it possible? Please look, my lord, we are ready to leave, the tents have been dismantled, the car has been installed, and it is clear at a glance that there are any rich women in the camp, and where can we hide?"

"This one……"

Mahamu hesitantly said: "This...in case there are unruly soldiers who covet women and disguise them as men..."

Seeing Zhao Zijin's downcast face, Mahamu hurriedly changed his words again: "No, no, maybe they took advantage of the chaos to steal the clothes of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, or sneaked into the car..., Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy! See, can you allow me to send someone... er... this..., the wife's husband is very worried, and she cried to me, and I can't sit idly by, I hope the imperial envoy Haihan is in trouble!"

Zhao Zijin flicked his sleeves and said, "That's unreasonable! Among thousands of troops, how could two wives sneak into the barracks? Hiding a wives in the barracks is a crime of beheading! The prince suspects that the imperial envoy is not strict with the army. Is the military discipline of the generals broken?"

Mahamu hurriedly said: "The imperial envoy has misunderstood, what this king means is..."

Zhao Zijin snorted heavily, arched his hands to the sky, and said in a loud voice: "This imperial envoy is entrusted with the holy decree to be the governor of Wala. He bears the holy order and represents the emperor. My lord, you are so outspoken. If the emperor knows, you will Very, no, happy, happy!"

"This……"

Zhao Zijin turned back angrily and left, saying in a loud voice: "I am an imperial envoy following orders. Who dares to deceive the king and block the inspection? It is really unreasonable!"

Zhao Zijin got on his horse and swung his hand forward forcefully, as if drawing a knife to chop.He shouted majestically: "Let's go!"

Mahamu looked at him in a daze: "This guy, why did he turn his face and deny him just after accepting my generous gift?"

……

Mahamu and the generals stood at the place where the Ming imperial envoys were seeing off, staring at their backs in a daze.

Ba Gen said cautiously: "My lord, what shall we do?"

Mahamu's face was dull, so he could only make excuses: "Hmph! It's just an outdated queen. If she is pregnant with the seeds of Benya's loss, it will be useful for someone to get her away, otherwise , even if this woman is really taken away by them, what's the use?"

Mahamu picked up the reins and shouted: "Go back, let's discuss it for a living. This time, we must beat Hashha submissively, and dare not fight against the king again!"

After the Ming army moved away from Mahamu's garrison, Ulan Tuya, Tumen Baoyin and their mother could show up openly.The three of them were sitting in a Lele car. Tumen Baoyin's old mother, who had a hard time last night, was leaning on the mattress and falling asleep, while Ulan Tuya and Tumen Baoyin were side by side. Sitting on the back of the car, looking quietly at the boundless grassland.

Not far behind, Xia Xun also got into the car.

It should have been escorted by Wala on the way back to be in line with etiquette.It's just that Mahamu really can't draw another team of soldiers to escort them right now.Zhao Zijin was in a hurry to leave again, and he didn't care about being escorted by the Oirats. Without the Oirats following him, he would not be able to show the name of the imperial envoy.Although most people in the army didn't know Xia Xun's identity, he got in the car to rest first, and then called Xia Xun up. How would others know who was superior and who was inferior in the car?

Tumen Baoyin glanced at the people sitting in the car behind, and whispered: "According to what you said, after we told the Ming people about the whereabouts of Tuotuobuhua. Not only did they see Tuotuobuhua, they also took him Take it out? Then why didn't you kill him?"

Wulan Tuya said: "Who knows what the Ming people are planning. It seems that they just want to confirm the identity of Tuotuobuhua. I have no idea what to do next."

Wulan Tuya turned her head to look at Xia Xun who was talking in the car behind, and hummed lightly, "That high-ranking official is scheming. He's very cunning. Even if you are very careful, you will still be caught by him in the end." Sell ​​it, it’s not unusual to be sold by him, but you still foolishly count the money for him. These Han officials are full of schemes, and if he doesn’t kill Tuotuo, he won’t kill him. There must be a bigger conspiracy.”

Tumen Baoyin said worriedly: "If they don't want to expose Tuotuo Buhua's identity, then we won't be able to do witnesses when we arrive at the Ming court. If we can't do witnesses, will the Ming court arrange for us?"

Wulan Tuya said reassuringly, "Well, you don't have to worry about it at all. Although that Yang Xu is more cunning than the old fox, he is definitely not a scumbag. Since he promised us, he will never break his word!"

Tumen Baoyin was slightly relieved, she looked sideways at Ulan Tuya, and said softly: "I see you, you know him very well."

Wulantuya's face turned hot, she didn't answer the question, she cast her gaze to the end of the grassland, and sighed faintly: "We will never come back after we leave."

Tumen Baoyin smiled sadly and said, "What? Do you still miss this world?"

Wulan Tuya shook her head lightly, and said, "I don't miss it, but... I really don't want to part with it..."

These words could not help resonating with Tumen Baoyin, and she also looked at the end of the grassland with a sense of loss, as if she wanted to have a panoramic view of everything.After this trip, they will enter the Central Plains and leave here forever. Although the huahua world in the Central Plains is like a paradise compared with this grassland with harsh living conditions, but far away from home, the faint feeling of melancholy is lingering. go.

It was a heavy feeling. Only those who say goodbye to their hometown and move to another place forever can experience the kind of constant nostalgia. Even if this place has brought her too much misfortune and sadness, she is always reluctant to leave.Now they just want to take another look and engrave everything here deeply in their hearts. From now on, they can only return to their hometown in their dreams.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Zijin said enviously, "This guy Wan Songling is really lucky. With our Daming's backing, coupled with his scheming, he will soon be able to call the wind and rain on the grassland."

Xia Xun smiled and said: "If you want to use him, of course you have to ask him to call the wind and rain, but...dominate the grassland? He doesn't even think about it! Now, he still thinks that he is also a Han, but when he has the supreme power, he The only thing that can be thought of is his personal interests, only his family, and he will also have ambitions. We want to train him to be a fierce tiger, but the rope around his neck can only become more and more serious. It is firm and cannot be undone!"

Xia Xun thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Zijin: "After we go back, we have to report to the emperor and arrange for people to sneak into Wala as soon as possible. First, we will become Wala people, and then be 'appreciated' and 'reused' by Wan Songling, so that we will be safe by his side. With the eyeliner, you can report the news, this matter must be arranged as soon as possible!"

Zhao Zijin quickly nodded in agreement.

To control Menggu Dahan, this matter must be fully understood and controlled by the emperor, and cannot be done through Qianlong.Otherwise, even Xia Xun would be the emperor instead.Once he learned that someone bypassed him to control a prairie king without authorization, Xia Xun would never have another choice other than killing him, no matter how trustworthy this person was.

At this time, in Jinling City, Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin was seriously reviewing official letters.

Xia Xun gave him some instructions before leaving Beijing.Xie Jin, who wanted to make Xiao Xing'er with Emperor Yongle but had a bad nose, learned a good lesson this time.He meticulously followed Xia Xun's instructions, and in addition to taking care of official duties every day, he did his duty as a cabinet minister. He only cared about the compilation of the Yongle Canon. up.

At this moment, his in-law Hu Guanghu University scholar hurried in, and upon seeing Jin, he said, "Oh, my lord Chief Assistant, why are you still sitting here in such a peaceful state?"

When Xie Jin saw his in-laws coming, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Ah, Everbright is here. Sit down, sit down, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hu Guang sat across from him.He said in a hurry: "Gentleman, the imperial examination is a three-year trial, and this spring is the period of the imperial examination. The Ministry of Rites has started preparations since the beginning of the year, and now the candidates from all over the country have gone to Beijing. The spring is about to be held, and the emperor is considering the hand-picked Candidates for the main examination. You still don't know about this?"

Xie Jin Nianxu smiled and said: "Oh..., of course I know this, so what?"

"So what? You still ask me what?"

Hu Guang said anxiously: "Brother, some ministers with literary names in the court are vying for the position of the chief examiner, and even a few senior scholars in the cabinet are all overwhelmed, why are you still silent!"

After hearing Xia Xun's instructions, Xie Jin was cultivating his heart and mind, and he would not interfere in everything. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hey, let them fight for it. I am already the chief assistant of the cabinet, and I am an extremely human minister. Why are you arguing with them for this false name?"

Seeing that he was not enlightened, Hu Guang became even more anxious, and hurriedly said: "Gentleman, you have been smart for a lifetime, and you were confused for a while! This matter of culture and education, which generation did not pay the most attention? This examiner is only the examiner for one session. Is it? Although it is said that the scholars who have been selected are all disciples of the Son of Heaven, but this chief examiner is their real teacher. The scholars who have been selected will be the officials of the imperial court and the pillars of the Ming Dynasty in the future. You are the chief assistant of the cabinet , if these officials are all your students, think about it, your weight in the imperial court, and your lifelong ambitions, how can you call it a false name?"

"Well……"

Xie Jin's heart was pounding when he heard it, and he couldn't help slowing down his beard strokes.

Hu Guang said resentfully: "I am a Jinshi in Hongwu for 33 years. My qualifications are too low to be the chief examiner. Otherwise, I would have fought for it long ago. But you are different. You are the chief assistant of the cabinet and a world-renowned talent. Hong Wu won the Jinshi in 12 years, if you want to be the chief examiner, who else would dare to compete with you?"

Xie Jin hesitated and said, "This..., can I fight for it?"

Hu Guangdao: "How can we not fight?"

Xie Jin hesitated and said, "But..."

Hu Guangdao: "Come on, Dashen, once you take the test for three years, you can guarantee that you will be the chief examiner next time? As long as you have this intention, it is good. I will immediately go to the emperor to recommend you to be the chief examiner! Once released, people with self-knowledge will be discouraged, and then you can submit a letter to recommend yourself, and with your status and qualifications, this examiner will definitely not be able to escape!"

Xie Jin's utilitarianism was indeed stronger. Xie Jin was greatly moved by Hu Guang's incitement. Hu Guang checked his face and said, "I'll make arrangements now, gentleman, wait for my letter!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked out.

"Ai!"

Xie Jin called and didn't stop, then sat down with peace of mind, but when he opened another official letter, he was a little absent-minded. ! .
