Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

My thoughts returned to Yuquan camp a day ago.

Yuquan Camp is about fifty miles away from Ningxia City, and it is the camp of Ningxia guerrilla general Qiu Yue.The main force of Qiu Yue's army is stationed here, just to contain the military hub between the pass of the Great Wall and the West Ferry of the Yellow River.

It is dusk at this moment, the sunset dyed the sky red, looking westward, the dilapidated Great Wall is shining golden in the sunset, but the countless gaps are black and gloomy in the strong contrast, just like here The atmosphere of all.

The Great Wall was first built in the Qin Dynasty. More than a year ago, Qin Shihuang ordered Meng Tian to send 50 Qin troops to station here. After 20 years, the side wall was finally built.It is also connected with the Great Wall of China and the Great Wall of Yan, stretching thousands of miles from Gansu in the west to Liaodong in the east.

It's a pity that the sturdy buildings can't stand the wind and frost of the times, but until now, they have been dilapidated.

If it hadn't been for Mr. Yang Yiqing, the head of the trilateral system, to tinker with it, I don't know what it would have turned into.

In fact, the Great Wall around the capital to the east is fine.In the Shaanxi-Gansu area, this dilapidated wall can no longer resist the aggression of the grassland people.

"Bang!" A vase was thrown on the ground and instantly shattered.

"Thief, thief, you have insulted me too much. If you don't kill you, the hatred in my heart will not be relieved!" Qiu Yue clenched his fists, his sturdy body trembling violently.

Because he was so excited, there was soybean-sized sweat on his forehead, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, like two sharp knives out of their sheaths.

In the hall of Xingyuan, there were three or five scholars standing, who seemed to be Qiu Yue's staff, all of them turned pale with shock.

The army is different from the place, the military commander has the power of life and death, at this time, if anyone gets into the misfortune of the commander and is directly beaten to death with a stick, he can only blame himself for suffering.

Not only the guards, but even several staff members of the barracks kept silent, looking at Qiu Yue worriedly.

In the wilderness, the strong wind blew, blowing the big flag outside the lobby, the wind and sand suddenly rose, and the sky mixed with the setting sun.

The twilight began to become chaotic.

"It must be Su Mu, it must be Su Mu!" The fists creaked, and the knuckles turned white from the force: "If I don't kill you this time, the humiliation on Qiu Yue's body can't be washed away. You guys, give me Come up with an idea, no matter what, keep this thief in Ningxia!"

As he spoke, Qiu Yue's right hand clenched into a fist suddenly released, and pointed towards the staff.

A few staff members shook their bodies, and some people took a step back quietly, not wanting to be the early bird.

Just in the past few days, a rumor spread among the Ningxia frontier army.It is said that for his own wealth and honor, the commander-in-chief became the son of the deceased General Qiu Li and attacked his official position, regardless of his family's high reputation, and then he became prosperous.

Later, after the death of the marshal's biological parents, he didn't even go to the funeral, let alone kept mourning for three years.

For the sake of one's own wealth, one does not even want one's parents. What is the difference between such a person and a beast?

As the saying goes, rumors grow wings.In just two days, this shocking secret became known to everyone.The soldiers of the other camps looked at the Yuquan camp with contempt and disdain in their conversations.

What kind of character is Marshal Qiu?After hearing this rumor, he immediately sent someone to investigate and spread the word. If he was asked to find out who spread the rumor, he would be wiped out all over the house.

In a place like the front line, the military commander is the law, and to kill an ordinary person is just a word from him.

But after investigation, it was found that this rumor was released from Jin Yiwei's experience Hu Shun.

Moreover, Hu Shun had already reported the matter to the Jinyi pro-army commander Yamen, saying that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Qiu Yue spent his whole life in the officialdom and on the battlefield, how could he not know that Hu Shun is Su Mu's father-in-law, this matter must be because Su Mu was angry with him for being rude to him at the banquet that day, and wanted to punish him.

But he didn't expect Su Mu's revenge to be so vicious. If he was not careful, he might lose it and ruin his future.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the country with loyalty, righteousness and filial piety, and the court employed the word "virtue" first.If you are not filial to your parents, you will be found out by the court, and you will be dismissed from office.

At this moment, Qiu Yue somewhat regretted going to see Su Mu's bad boy that night.If I had known that this scholar was so vicious, I shouldn't have started the war lightly.

Hey, it's all because I drank too much wine that day and was impulsive!

At this moment, it is useless to regret, and I have to find a way to pass this test.

The reason why rumors are rumors is that they have no facts.

In fact, when Qiu Yue adopted Qiu Li, his parents had passed away for many years, so this matter was not afraid of being investigated, and Qiu Yue had nothing to be afraid of.

It's just that he led the army for so many years, and he was used to being arrogant in the army. When did he suffer from such a disadvantage?Immediately, evil thoughts arose, wanting to get the scene back.

Otherwise, if you don't care about it, what will the soldiers think of it, and how will they lead troops in the future.

To be an army commander, the most important thing is prestige, once the prestige is gone, no one will respect you or fear you.

A poisonous thought suddenly arose in Qiu Yue's heart, and he became murderous.

Having been a soldier for so many years, he had a lot of blood on his hands, so killing an official was not a big deal for him.In Ningxia and northern Shaanxi, the sky is high, the land is wide, and the enemy situation is complicated. It is nothing special for a few lives to disappear inexplicably.

However, the staff did not think so.

A master bit his head and whispered: "Marshal, after all, Su Mu is the number one scholar, the editor of the Imperial Academy, and the most trusted person in front of His Majesty. If you attack him, it will definitely shake the world. Will the imperial court not ask? , there are so many people talking about it, it is hard to guarantee that the news will not leak out, and when the time comes, I am afraid that you will be in a lot of trouble, Commander."

Now that someone started it, the other masters also took courage to persuade each other with every word.

How could Qiu Yue talk to his master? After a few words, he immediately broke out, kicked the long case, and shouted angrily: "Get out, there is nothing to worry about. Grandpa spends so much money every month to feed you all." I'm full. It's really a critical moment, but no one can count on it, so get out!"

When all the staff left in a daze, Qiu Yue sat on the chair and sulked.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old young scholar saw no one around, so he came forward and cupped his hands: "If the commander wants to court Su Ziqiao, there is nothing he can do."

This person is Xie Ziran, after he got the letter from the old master, he brought his men to escort the food and fodder to the front line.Because he is a student of Professor Nian, and he is both civil and military, so Qiu Yue appreciates him, so he stays with him and says that he wants to let him work as an assistant under his aide.

For Qiu Yue's importance, Xie Ranran didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart.

Not only that, it's so hard to complain.

He aspires to the imperial examination and has great confidence in his academic articles.In his opinion, even though it might not be possible to get a good ranking in a mere rural examination, it is not a problem to get a candidate.

In this way, regardless of whether he can be awarded the second list of Jinshi in the future, he also has the qualifications to be an official.

As a scholar, if you are good at learning, you will be an official. Who doesn't want to be an official.

But it's a bad thing for this person to be too talented, but unexpectedly, Qiu Yue fell in love with him, saying that you shouldn't take part in the township test, so what if you won the exam, just stay with me as a military counselor!

It's not a good thing to stay by Qiu Yue's side, it's only a dozen taels of silver a month, think of me, Xie Ziran, Ningxia and Fengxiang, who run both ways, selling cattle and sheep every year, can easily earn thousands of taels of silver.Besides, in our hometown, we are a country gentry and local tyrant, free and easy, and we can do whatever we want.In the army, maybe you didn't say a word right, but you just scolded and felt aggrieved.

However, Xie Tianran knew very well about Qiu Yue's temperament. This person was narrow-minded, if he refused directly, he might offend him, and he would not even think about taking the business route of Ningxia in the future.

These few days, staying in the Yuquan camp and unable to escape even a single step, Xie Ranran was also anxious.

Seeing this situation today, my heart was moved, and I immediately thought of a good way to get out.

"Oh, it turned out to be Junfu, tell me quickly, what can you do?" Qiu Yue immediately recovered his spirits, and sat up straight with a huo sound.

Qiu Yue is actually quite scheming, otherwise, in the real history, he would not have been able to play around with King Anhua, and in the end he even came up with a beheading action, directly killing several leaders of the King Anhua Rebellion All of them.

It's just that this time Su Mu made such a move, he was so angry that he only wanted to tear Su Mu to pieces.

The so-called caring is chaotic, but it is chaotic for a while.

Xie Ziran smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, and said: "What you gentlemen said just now is actually quite reasonable. After all, Su Ziqiao is a famous scholar, the number one scholar in the new department, and an inspector of the Qing Dynasty. If something happens to him in Ningxia, the court will It must be shocking. Moreover, it is said that Su Mu is deeply trusted by today's son. Once something goes wrong, the court will definitely investigate and find out. If the commander-in-chief does it himself, there will inevitably be many troubles in the future. The commander-in-chief is certainly not afraid, and he has countermeasures. But a gentleman If you don’t stand under a dangerous wall, there are some things that you don’t have to do yourself.”

He spoke sonorously, well-reasoned and well-founded.

Strange to say, when Qiu Yue heard this, the anger in his heart calmed down.Thoughtfully said: "Does Junfu mean to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

Xie Ziran nodded: "The commander-in-chief is really amazing. You can see through the details. This is the front line. Recently, the Tatars have shown signs of instability. It is the season of lean and yellow, and life on the grassland is not easy. If they go south to fight Cao Gu happened to meet Su Mu, so I can only blame him for being unlucky, but it has nothing to do with the Marshal."

Qiu Yue's spirit was lifted up, his eyes were frighteningly bright: "Junfu means to ask people to pretend to be Tatars to rob and kill Sumu halfway?"

Xie Ziran shook his head: "That's not right, if we do it ourselves, it's hard to guarantee that the news will leak out. Xiaosheng has a plan to lure Tatars to rob Sumu."

"You said."

Xie Ranran: "As an imperial envoy, Su Mu is an inspector and chief examiner. He has a distinguished status. According to regulations, the frontier army should send [-] soldiers to escort him to the south. The commander-in-chief can talk to the commander of the Ningxia capital, and he will Said that Xie Ziran will go back to Guanzhong after he is half finished, but he can go with Lord Su, just to protect his car and drive south. At that time, Xie Ziran can disguise the chariots and horses he brought as if they have a lot of property. The commander can Rumors were released, thanking Nature for escorting the military funds. After the Tatars heard the news, they would definitely send people to rob them.

When the time comes, the Tatars will naturally not let go of this opportunity to take hostages when they see that there is actually a court official in the team.Xie naturally didn't need to do anything in the chaos.Just leave the sumac behind when the Tatars attack.Hehe, Mr. Su, a civil servant, is an opponent of the wolf-like prairie barbarians. This time, I'm afraid he will have to explain it to Ningxia. "

"Even if Su Mufu was killed and escaped by chance, it is impossible to guarantee that the trip will not be delayed if the Tatars make such a fuss. Once the rural examination is delayed, it will be a felony. If the court pursues it, it will naturally cause great trouble."

"Okay, this plan is very clever!" Qiu Yue hit Jie applauded: "I will do as you say!"

Just like that, Xie Ran got away smoothly and got together with Su Mu.
