Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 577

Ma Fang was a slave who was taken captive by the Tartars to the grassland. He was born in a grassroots family. In the generation of Ma Lin and Ma Dong, he was a real son of a noble family.

From a young age, martial arts and horse bowing are things to be learned, dealing with people, and dealing with officials. This is more learned. Ma Dong heard Emperor Wanli say this well-known allusion of Datong border town, and said that Datong border town supports soldiers with self-respect and acts illegally. All kinds of allusions about the incident immediately made my heart awe-inspiring.

The involvement before and after the civil fortress, and the actions of the Tatars who invaded the border town of Datong, these are not secrets, the generals of the Ming Dynasty know it, not only they know it, but the whole world knows it, but they hold their noses and don’t want to mention it. .

Ma Dong originally thought that coming to Beijing for an audience was a routine matter, but when he heard that Emperor Wanli was going to give him a banquet, he just thought it was his father's face, or that his younger brother Ma Lin had made a lot of achievements in Liao Town, which made his family With such kindness, he didn't expect that this summoning was not for others, but for himself.

The deputy general of Datong Bianzhen is the second-ranking general of the Datong Bianjun. The sudden promotion and such words really made Ma Dong very frightened.

Emperor Wanli sighed, and saw Ma Dong kneel down as expected, smiled, and said:
"Ma Dong, you are going to be the deputy general of Datong Town now, what are you going to do?"

Ma Dong paused, then bumped his head and kowtowed, and said eagerly:
"How to do what His Majesty says, the last general will do, even if his body is smashed to pieces!"

The voice was sonorous and powerful, and he seemed loyal. Emperor Wanli looked down at Ma Dong whose head was on the ground, nodded and said:
"Your father, Ma Fang, guarded Datong and Xuanfu for the country, and made great contributions. Your younger brother was the deputy general in Liao Town, and now he is quite famous. You are the only general in Datong. The merits of beheading can be ranked according to seniority, at the earliest you will be able to sit in this position after five years, why promote you, the widow is because of your loyalty and loyalty to me, Daming."

Ma Dong kowtowed again, and Emperor Wanli said with a smile:

"There are also some officials and censors who gossip that you bought your first-class military achievements in the past three years from someone with money. It is ridiculous, and the widows will keep it."

On that day, Wang Tong won a big victory in the Xuanfu and brought back thousands of heads. At that time, the Ma family and the Li family took a large sum of money to buy the heads and gave them to their nephews as a step up. military exploits.

This is not some gossip, although the first-level business is commonplace in Daming Border Town, but it can be done but cannot be said. Emperor Wanli said it so lightly, saying "gossip" in his words, but who can't understand, Emperor Wanli has already Knowing all this.

Ma Dong kowtowed on the ground a few more times, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty's grace, I will be grateful to you in the end, and I will never forget it. Please rest assured, I will go to Datong in the end. I must do my duty and be loyal to Your Majesty. If the ministers in Datong are here, there will be no such things." thing."

"I am optimistic about Datong for the widow. If the errands are done well, you will be indispensable to the position of the commander-in-chief in the future!!"

Having said that, Ma Dong could only kowtow to express his loyalty.

.......
After saying what he needed to say, after a simple order of food and wine, Ma Dong thanked him again and said goodbye. Ma Dong was led out of the palace by the eunuch, and the door of the Nuan Pavilion was closed. Emperor Wanli said in a deep voice:

"Dongchang and Jinyiwei should send spies to Ma Dong's side, and Ma Fang and Ma Lin should also watch over there. Take precautions, don't stare at Datong, but ignore Ma's family. Now his family can be found in three towns. Rooted!"

Zhang Cheng replied in a low voice:

"Long live, someone has already arranged for Ma Dong's side, and he will report all his affairs every day."

.......
"Long Live Lord, Ma Dong left the palace and returned to his family's mansion in the capital. Several Shanxi businessmen sent people to send generous gifts, and Ma Dong returned them all, and closed the door to see no outsiders."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's report, Emperor Wanli who was sitting in the soft sedan sneered, and said calmly:
"I've said so much, he wants to come out as a straight minister and lonely minister, but he doesn't know what to do after he goes to Datong, so he has to keep an eye on him!"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed to accept the order, Wang Tong sent this letter, and the behavior of Emperor Wanli also changed greatly. He lived in Zheng Guifei's palace every day, and never went anywhere else. Even some government affairs were arranged to be handled in Concubine Zheng's palace.

In addition to going to the Ci Ning Palace to greet the Empress Dowager Cisheng every morning and evening, going to the Wenyuan Pavilion to meet with the courtiers, and the middle of the first month and the middle of the month, and the grand ceremony of the New Year, I will never go anywhere else. She was completely left out there. Empress Dowager Li was already a little dissatisfied with the situation, and told Emperor Wanli several times, explicitly or secretly, but Emperor Wanli was very stubborn in this matter, and Empress Dowager Li was not good at interfering too much, and Concubine Zheng is quite well-behaved. Although she is used to the harem, she never expresses any opinions on political affairs and is very reserved. This style of style also makes others unable to say anything wrong.

Seeing Zhang Cheng take the order, Emperor Wanli put down the curtain of the sedan chair casually, Zhao Jinliang clapped his hands quickly, and the eunuch who was carrying the soft sedan chair was about to get up and move, but Emperor Wanli opened the curtain again, Zhao Jinliang quickly issued an order to let the bearer stop Next, Emperor Wanli said:
"Chen Sibao and Tang Sihai quickly arrange for guards, and tonight, the Supervisor of Rituals will issue an order to ask the cabinet to urge the Ministry of Punishment to investigate cults in all prefectures and counties in Beizhili. Mr. Zhang and the others will definitely not accept such a thing. Will stop them, let them come up with the energy to implement a whip method!!"

"Please don't worry, Long Live Lord! The slaves will do it today!!"

***************
After the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of Wanli, all the yamen were left on duty, and the others went back to celebrate the New Year, and only came to report important matters.

Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has a high status. He does not need to go to the cabinet to be on duty in shifts. Any important matters that need to be drafted by the cabinet are sent directly by the secretary in the cabinet.

But Mr. Zhang Ge is also the kind of person who can't relax. Even if he is at home, he spends all day in his study dealing with government affairs sent from various places.

According to the decree in the palace, the secretary of the cabinet quickly came to the capital's mansion. Zhang Ge's concierge didn't stop him, so he opened the door and let him in, all the way to Zhang Juzheng's study.

When he stopped outside the study, a servant waiting outside rushed in to report. After a while, You Qi flashed out, took the newspaper, asked a few words, shook his head and said with a smile:

"The decree of the supervisor of ceremonies is to choose the time. The elders are happy these few days. This errand will definitely not be delayed. Brother Chen, wait for a while!"

He spoke like this, but the secretary in the cabinet who sent the papers could not be treated with such politeness, and quickly bowed and said that Brother Qi had worked hard.

You Qi went in with the official document, and it didn't take much time, he walked out with it, handed the two folders to the Zhongshu, and said with a smile:

"Ge Lao pro approved it, take it to the report and send it out as soon as possible!"

The secretary in the cabinet agreed with a smile, and left in a hurry to run an errand again. You Qi sent the secretary away and stopped in the yard for a while, but instead of going back to the study to serve him, he went directly to the front door.

Everyone knows his position in the Zhang Mansion, and no one dares to neglect him. He is a carefree concierge to third-rank officials. When he saw You Qi, he quickly stood up with a smile, and asked respectfully:

"Qi Ye is in such a good mood today that he actually came to the front door. What orders do you have?"

You Qi patted the concierge on the shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile:

"They are all on duty. If you have any orders, don't give them. Come here and tell me something. From now on, Dong Qianhu from Shandong will come to the door, please come in directly!"

"Don't worry, You Qiye, when Dong Qianhu comes, the younger one will definitely send him in respectfully."

You Qi smiled and nodded again, then turned around and entered the courtyard, the concierge kept bowing with a smile, and when You Qi disappeared from sight, he straightened up, turned around and sat on the seat by the door with a big face , picked up the teapot on the clay stove beside him, poured himself a cup, took it up and smelled the aroma, and said to himself:
"Isn't it just that the master took the medicine and found it to be effective and refreshed? I didn't expect that sending this sea dog could actually make such a fortune. Life..."

***************
"Master, now the third master does not take money from outsiders, and the second master has no choice but to send people around to make money. The second master asked Shuangxi to report to the master, saying that the people sent out may be targeted by the government, but if they are caught, they will be caught." , there is no way to follow the clues to find us here!!"

"If things can't be done, does he keep the silver for himself to be buried with him!!"

Hearing Shuangxi's report, Lin Shulu's eyes widened, and he roared out in a low voice, but after saying a word, he panted violently, and he calmed down after a while. After panting, his complexion had changed a lot, and he leaned back in his chair slumped, He waved his hand and said:
"It's okay, it's okay, let's take care of ourselves now, let the second child take good care of the third child, and everything will be fine."

Shuangxi moved her mouth a few times, but still hesitated to speak:

"The third master spent 5 taels of silver, and the talents he sent met with the captain of Sengge Dugulen's personal guard, and the other party was very indifferent. If you want to do something, I'm afraid 10,000+ taels of silver will not be enough. I have money over there, but now I haven't made much money, I'm afraid it's distressing..."

"Money is a trivial matter, and Guihua City is also a trivial matter. What matters now is here, here!!"

After Lin Shulu finished speaking, he was out of breath again, and Shuangxi stepped forward to help him pat him a few times, and when his breathing calmed down, he asked again:
"How about Shandong?"

"Master, don't worry, those of us who are trustworthy will take care of that thing when it goes ashore. Although the amount is small, it can add up to a lot..."
