Blood from Daming

Chapter 151 Questioning
Only then did grandfather Xue Rui open his mouth and say to Xue Aoren: "Ao Ren, why does my father always want you to hold back the army? Now that the world is in chaos in Daming, the army is my life-saving talisman. You have been going to the south for more than half a year, and none of my men have subdued them." , but being caught by those guys with rebellious bones won’t accomplish anything, if it’s not Yun’er helping you this time, think about the consequences yourself.”

Xue Yun: "Thousands of herdsmen of Harijula's people were massacred, and the Horqin and Chahar tribes of Mongolia also suffered a lot of losses. Xue Liu has some evidence that Xuanda businessmen encouraged some Ming troops to enter Mongolia. In the hinterland, there is obviously the shadow of Jurchen Nurhachi behind him, the court must be in trouble now, our Xue family is sitting on the crater, father should go back to the Xue family village in the south earlier."

Xue Aoren looked at Xue Rui and Xue Yun for a while and said: "If something happens in the capital or the court dismisses me from the military, father, Yun'er, what do you think I should do."

Xue Rui: "There will be no accidents at home in the capital, but you don't need to worry about what happens, and don't leave your barracks easily, Yun'er said to your father."

Xue Yun thought about it for a while: "Father, you are unreliable with the troops in your hands now, so stay in the middle army and don't wander around. My son told Xue Er and Xue Wu to help you control the situation in Xue's village. If necessary, a few people will die." The guy who jumps the most fiercely, after the chaos of the imperial court, you will still be popular and hot."

Wang Erwa showed her head at the door of the living room, Xue Yun: "Erwa, what's the matter with you being sneaky?"

Wang Erwa: "Master Dongchangchang summoned the young master. In addition, the young master's good friend Li Qianhu of Jingying and his elder brother Jingwei Commander Commander Li Master Li also came to visit you."

After Wang Erwa finished speaking, she disappeared from the door. Xue Yun: "Father, as long as you can stick to Xuejiazhai yourself, no matter how big the trouble is, I can solve it for you."

Xue Yun explained a few words to his father Xue Aoren and then bid farewell to his grandfather Xue Rui. Xue Yun hurried to the gate of Xiao Xue's mansion in three steps and two in two. People, the director of the East Factory bowed his hands to Xue Yun and saluted: "My lord protector, the factory owner please go to the factory as soon as possible, and the factory owner has something to ask you."

Xue Yun looked at a group of unfamiliar servants standing on the other side and knew that Li Qianhu and his brothers were in Xiaoxue's mansion, so Xue Yun had no choice but to condescend and say to the director of Dongchang in a negotiating tone: "This brother Rong Ben The guardian goes to say goodbye to his friend and immediately goes on the road to see the factory owner and his old man." Xue Yun finally gave Wang Erwa a wink.

The officer of the East Factory saw where a group of servants were indeed standing opposite him, and knew that the master must be waiting for Xue Yun in Xiaoxue's mansion. He had not lost Xue Yun's benefits before, and with his own identity as a guardian, the officer of the East Factory hesitated for a moment. Gritting her teeth, she said, "My lord protector, hurry up, or the owner of the factory will be impatient and everyone will be blamed." While the director of Dongchang was talking, Wang Erwa had already handed a piece of gold cake to the director.

Xue Yun came to the small living room of the second door to direct the affairs. Master Li and Li Qianhu hurriedly stood up, Xue Yun: "What do you two brothers want to do with my younger brother?" Xue Yun didn't want to offend Wei Zhongxian, so he just stood up and said something. Quick fix.

Commander Master Li saw that Xue Yun didn't ask to sit down or exchange greetings, and he started to ask questions, his expression was not hesitant. Seeing that the momentum was not good, Li Qianhu hurriedly spoke first: "General Xue, today the court got Xuanda and Datong. Six hundred li rushed the army to report that the Mongolian army was pointing directly at Daming. Many colleagues believed that the subordinate had stayed in Datong to inquire with Yu. General Xue knew that the subordinate had been away from Datong for a long time, so he had to come to you, General, to ask about the situation in Datong. , I might as well go back and explain it to my colleagues and friends.”

Xue Yun reckoned that Master Li and Li Qianhu, who were in charge of the affairs, were mostly inquiring about news on behalf of King Xin. The so-called prince Wang Chengen was pretending to be a literati. The Ming Dynasty never allowed imperial dragon species to participate in political affairs. Even if his elder brother Emperor Tianqi couldn't bear to blame him, the officials in the court would not make him feel better according to the ancestral system.

Xue Yun: "I'm really sorry that the two brothers are summoned by someone from the palace outside. Why don't you wait for the little brother to come back at noon and have a good time and talk slowly and carefully."

Master Li proudly said: "It's just that the eunuch wants you to answer, and there is nothing to do with the palace. Don't be fooled by the general's bright future."

Hearing the words of Commander Master Li, Xue Yun's face burst into black anger. He has seen many people who don't show face, but he didn't expect such a slap in the face. Xue Yun couldn't help but want to get angry at Commander Li.

Li Qianhu hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "General Xue, since you have something to do, we two brothers will make a long story short. Please, General Xue, talk about the situation and countermeasures of the Mongolian army's invasion of Xuanda."

Xue Yun held back his breath and listened to Li Qianhu's words, secretly thinking of Li Qianhu and the others' backstage letter Wang Zhu Youjian, the great god, tried to restrain his emotions and said: "Little brother, I also just got the subordinates who came to the capital today. Officers and soldiers reported that this time the Mongolian army entered the Xuanda defense area to seek revenge from the governor and governor of Xuanda. At the beginning of the first month, officers and soldiers from Liaodong and Xuanfu cooperated with profiteers from Xuanfu to enter the depths of Mongolia to fight grass valleys. There will be more Mongolian cavalry entering the side wall, and the strategic deployment of the imperial court and various Mongolian ministries to fight against the Jianzhou Jurchen has been completely destroyed."

Mr. Li asked in a hurry: "Didn't the Tang Bao say that the Mongolian ministries went south to plunder the wealth and people of the Ming Dynasty? How did you say that the Ming government army went out to plunder the Mongolian tribes without permission?"

Xue Yun: "According to the information from Datong, there are nearly [-] Ming officials and merchants who entered Mongolia to plunder, thousands of herdsmen were killed or injured. The army has already lost all casualties, and such a big matter cannot be concealed by a few officials if they want to."

Commander Master Li's face turned red and then pale, he was speechless, Xue Yun: "Both brothers, wait for the younger brother to come back when you have time, the younger brother really can't delay now, take your leave, Lu wants Jin to accompany me Accompany the two adults." After Xue Yun finished speaking, he had already walked towards the door of the living room.

Li Qianhu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xue Yun and said: "We are also entrusted by the ministers of the cabinet and the Ministry of War to consult the general. You haven't given a reason for how we can go back to do business."

Xue Yun looked at Li Qianhu's fox tail that was incoherent and sneered secretly: "Since it is the ministers of the cabinet and the Ministry of War, I will make a statement in person when I consult. I am really sorry that we little people are having a hard time. I will go to If you take too long and offend Eunuch Wei, the jobs of the hundred and ten members of my Xue family will be suspended."

Before Master Li and Li Qianhu could react to the command, Xue Yun had already disappeared at the door of the living room, and the two shook their heads helplessly and sighed there.

Li Qianhu comforted the commanding officer, Li Daren, and said: "Xue Yun is actually a very good person. He is loyal to the country and has a sense of loyalty. He especially treats money like dirt. Although he is close to Wei Zhongxian, it is to keep his official position. Follow Wei Zhongxian to do bad things that anger people."

Master Li, the commander: "Oh, you two have gotten along well and have a good relationship. Since ancient times, loyalty and villainy are not equal. At least his virtue has been damaged by doing so."

Li Qianhu: "Brother, you didn't see Xue Yun's gold and iron horse in the desert Gobi, how many traitors and tartars died in his hands, but the civil and military officials of the imperial court did not want to remove Xue Yun from his official position for a day, or wanted to Send Xue Yun to the imperial prison for questioning, but those ministers who keep saying that they are lonely ministers and evil sons, why don't they go to the Liaodong Pass and kill a few Tartars."

Xue Yun came out of the gate of Xiaoxue Mansion and Wang Erwa immediately brought Wulongju over. Seeing Xue Yun coming out, the officer of the East Factory immediately ordered his men to get on the horses and go ahead to open the way. Dong'anmen, where the factory is located.

The director of the East Factory accompanied Xue Yun into the East Factory and ran directly to the secret room of the factory headquarters. Xue Yun put down the dagger on his waist and entered Wei Zhongxian's usual secret room. Xue Yun entered the door and saw that Wei Zhongxian was already in the secret room. Kneel down and report: "Dharma Protector of Dongchang, Deputy General of Datong Xue Yun will see Mr. Changgong for a thousand years."

Seeing that Xue Yun came quickly and his attitude was good, Wei Zhongxian became softer: "Boys, don't show your seat to General Xue yet."

The chairs were all ready-made, but the little eunuch next to him pointed to the story, and Xue Yun hurriedly replied: "My lord, the last general is used to answering."

Wei Zhongxian: "General Xue told you to sit down, so you can sit down, so our family can also ask General Xue questions."

Xue Yun had no choice but to sit sideways, and Wei Zhongxian said in a soft voice: "The Mongolian army invaded the Xuanfu, and the officials of the Datong court quarreled into a pot of porridge. There are both main battles and peace. Our family and the emperor want to hear about General Xue. Opinions and strategies on the use of Mongolian troops."

Xue Yun: "My lord, I got the news this morning that the Mongolian troops were dispatched entirely because the Liaodong, Xuanfu officers and soldiers and Xuanda merchants entered the depths of Mongolia to fight grass valleys at the beginning of the first lunar month. Our Daming, now the Mongolian Lindan Khan Golden Tent has moved southward, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry have entered the side wall. The court’s consistent policy is to unite the various Mongolian ministries to fight against the Jianzhou Jurchen. If Mongolia and Jianzhou jointly deal with me, Ming Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable."
