Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 348 Zhao Dingbian Zhao Dingbian

He Liu walked up to Dudu Zhao, lifted the hem of his official robe, and respectfully kowtowed to Dudu Zhao three times: "Godfather! I thank you on behalf of the court and the emperor!"

Dudu Zhao smiled: "Godfather is getting old. Journeying on a crane to the West is nothing more than three or two years. I can accomplish this last major event for the court before I die. Even if I die, I don't have any regrets." Old six, remember, we have to think about the country and society of the Ming Dynasty when we are eating at the court! Civil servants always say that one term of office will benefit one party. Isn’t it the case with military officers? Blood, those who make a lot of money and defend the system of the guards, everyone has to kill them!"

He Liu stood up and said, "Godfather, I will tell the emperor about your painstaking efforts!"

Dudu Zhao shook his head: "No! You have to tell the emperor that I am a vicious person! In order to frame Wang Chonggu, I did not hesitate to collude with the other four governors to commit a spirit snake case and murder Jinyiwei! The emperor is now between the recruitment system and the Weisuo system. Undecided. Only when the commanders of the five armies commit unruly things together, can the emperor's determination to abolish the guard system be strengthened!"

He Liu was stunned: "In this way, you will always suffer from Ling Chi!"

Dudu Zhao shook his head: "No way! The governors of the five armies pretended to be ghosts and killed three high-ranking Jinyiwei. If this matter gets out, it will make the court lose face. The emperor will probably order us five to commit suicide and declare that we are He died of a sudden illness. However, the other generals of the guards will definitely guess that it was Jin Yiwei, and you, He Liu, who secretly murdered us. Are you willing to take the blame for this?"

He Liu sighed: "Godfather is not afraid of death for the sake of Daming's country. How can I be afraid of taking a small blame?"

Dudu Zhao nodded in satisfaction: "My goddaughter has good eyesight! I have chosen you, a man with a family and country in mind, to be my husband! Well, I will write you a separate confession. You take this A separate confession, and the joint confession of the five of us, with the circumstantial evidence of Uncle Li Gao, go to Yongshou Palace to find the emperor!"

After a few sticks of incense, He Liu took two confessions and led his uncle Li Gao to Yongshou Palace.

Dudu Zhao sat in the truth room, feeling relieved.He closed his eyes and looked back at his life.

Zhao Dingbian, son of Zhao Yuan from a thousand households of Laizhou Wei.

60 years ago, when he was 20 years old, Meng Zuyin inherited the position of Qianhu.Pingding Wenfeng Mountain bandits in Dingye County, Jiaodong.

50 years ago, he was 30 years old.He was transferred to Anqingwei to command the affairs, followed Wencheng Duke Yangming, and put down the rebellion of King Ning.In that year, he witnessed with his own eyes that the frail scholar Wang Yangming, with the courage never seen before, led a group of stragglers to defeat King Ning's tiger and wolf rebels!From then on, he determined to become someone like Mr. Yangming, useful to the court and the common people.

40 years ago, he was 40 years old.He was promoted to the capital of Yunnan and Guizhou.With an iron fist, the Yunnan-Guizhou chieftain rebellion was put down.His military exploits are outstanding, and he is admired by people.But he discovered one thing, that is, Daming's guard army is no longer usable.

30 years ago, he was 50 years old.He was promoted to the post of Tongzhi, the governor of the former military governor's mansion, and the assistant commander of Shenjiying.The little Tatar prince went south to invade the invaders. He led his brother Paozhe to fight bloody with the little prince. He suffered six stab wounds, and desperately kept the safety of the capital.

20 years ago, the change of Geng Shu.Altan Khan's [-] cavalry came under the capital.He led his soldiers to fight to the death at the top of the city, was seriously injured, fell into a coma for three days and three nights, and fled back to the world from the gate of hell.After An Da Khan retired from the army, he was named the former military governor because of his meritorious service.That year, his happiest thing was not his promotion.Instead, he allowed a martial artist named Qi Jiguang to climb Deshengmen to resist Altan Khan's attack.Qi Jiguang's real military career started from the moment he boarded Deshengmen.

Later, Yan Song came to power.He doesn't have the courage of the four remonstrances of Yuezhong, the third son of Wuwu, and the loyal and straight father Yang Lian.He did not dare to face the treacherous official Yan Song as an enemy.He is obsessed with training soldiers, and has trained the Shenji Battalion into an elite army!
Today, at the age of eighty, he played the game of the snake spirit case for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's eternal society.And he voluntarily became an abandoned pawn on the chessboard!
Perhaps, the emperor will grant him death.Perhaps, his name will be erased from the historian's records.But he doesn't regret doing so.

A man who promises the country with his body will have no regrets for life!

Zhao Dudu had no worries, and fell asleep. In his dream, he seemed to dream that when he was 30 years old, Mr. Wang Yangming stood on the top of Nanchang City and said to him: "Dingbian, we have won!"

Inside Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Longqing read the two confessions and listened to the statement of his uncle Li Gao.

He sighed: "Unexpected! All the commanders of my five armies are vicious and vicious! Fortunately, you, He Liu, saw through their plots. If a fool like Zhu Xixiao was responsible for investigating the snake spirit case from the beginning, I would say Don't be sure to get into the trap they set up and wrong Wang Chonggu."

He Liu took the opportunity to remonstrate: "The commanders of the five armies have done such a rebellious thing because they want to maintain the rotten guard system! I boldly suggest to the emperor to make up his mind as soon as possible to abolish the guard and recruit soldiers!"

Emperor Longqing sighed: "Oh, that's not easy! Take away the jobs of 200 million guard soldiers? What if they raise their flags and rebel? Qi's army, Yu's army, and Liaodong iron cavalry, these three recruiting armies can fight again. It's only a little over 200 people. Can you beat the [-] million Guards Army?"

He Liu was stunned: The emperor's worry is not unreasonable.In the stone chamber of Beipo Village, didn't Da Feixu suggest to others that once the emperor accepted the suggestion of the recruiting faction, he would instruct several border town guards to mutiny?
Emperor Longqing said again: "The crimes of the commanders of the five armies must not be made public to the world! In that case, the imperial court will lose all face! These five people have made great contributions to the imperial court. I will reward them with a decent death Go! Poisoned wine, white silk, sword, let them choose, and let them finish it themselves."

He Liu cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."

Emperor Longqing warned again: "Remember, they didn't commit suicide, but died of sudden illness!"

Although He Liu still said "obey the order", he thought in his heart: the commanders of the five armies died of sudden illness at the same time?Who in the world would believe it?People's words are scary, and it won't be long before a rumor spreads in the market: He Madgou of Jinyiwei assassinated the commander of the five armies!Forget it, godfather is not even afraid of death, so what if I take the blame?
Emperor Longqing picked up a brochure, and said to He Liu without raising his head, "Okay, you can go on an errand."

When He Liu returned to Beizhen Fusi, he first passed on Emperor Longqing's will to Qin, Lu, Da, and Shou.Qin Zhiyue and Da Feiji chose to slash their necks with a waist knife, Lu Guan chose to hang himself with white silk, and Shouyin chose poisoned wine.

After the four committed suicide one after another, He Liu came to the truth room.

Governor Zhao seemed to have fallen asleep sitting on a chair.

He Liu pushed Dudu Zhao's shoulder: "Godfather, the emperor has a will."

Governor Zhao did not open his eyes.

He Liu sniffed Dudu Zhao's breath, and Dudu Zhao was already dead!It seems that he died without a cause, and traveled westward in his sleep.

He Liu sighed: "Oh, godfather! It's time for you to die of old age! Save yourself the pain of suicide. You are a hero in life, and a ghost in death! Maybe, if you go to Huangquan to recruit the old, you can kill Yan Luo with a hundred thousand banners. !"
