Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1145 Sacred Heart Arbitrary

  Emperor Hongzhi heard the word Tatar, deep in his eyes, it had a special meaning.

   This is a very complicated feeling.

  For more than a hundred years, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Wen swept across the desert. Since then, the descendants of the Mongols, Oara and Tatar, have risen one after another. In the north of Ming Dynasty, these nomadic peoples have caused disasters again and again.

  Since history, there has never been love between the Central Plains dynasty and the nomads, only countless intrigues and bitter hatred.

But now, for the first time, Emperor Hongzhi was so close to the gathering place of the Tatars. The two sides were only separated by a wall. Standing here, looking at the camp of these Tatars, Emperor Hongzhi was somewhat proud, but still, The fear in my heart never dissipated.

  The pride is that he finally once again, like his ancestors Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen, made the Tatars look at the Ming Iron Cavalry with fear, but...

   Ten years later, what about a hundred years later?

  The nomads’ conquest of the Central Plains dynasty never stopped, and the Central Plains dynasty’s attack on the nomads never stopped.

The wind on the city wall was strong, and Emperor Hongzhi was a little cold. He looked around and saw a few eunuchs standing beside him with their heads bowed. Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help thinking, Xiao Banban is not by his side. If he is by his side, I don't need to call. He will put a shirt on me.

  He didn't say anything more, but said: "Liu Qing's family."

  Liu Jian was a little old and dizzy. When he heard that there were Tatars outside the city, he hurriedly took out his reading glasses to look at it. Sure enough, he saw that the continuous tents stretched extremely far.

   Liu Jian said: "The old minister is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Your family, what do you think?"

   "Are these Tartars?"

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

Liu Jian was silent for a moment: "Datong is completely unprepared against the Tatars. This is a great negligence. The old minister thinks that it is better to be on guard. The Ming Dynasty should use the strategy of restraining the Tatars to prevent them from attacking the Tatars. Not yet."

  The so-called restraint strategy is similar to that of Tuzhou in the southwest.

Han people and foreign races should avoid contact as much as possible. The imperial court selects satisfactory Tatar leaders and entitles them to manage their own people. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there has been custom-made, and it has continued to this day. Because of the deep Sinicization, the natives in the southwest want to change their native land and return to the natives. But for these Tatars, the strategy of restraining them is quite effective.

  Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful: "Really?"

But Zhu Houzhao said: "If you don't hold back, you will still rebel. At the beginning, how many Tatars took refuge in our Ming Dynasty, and later led their troops to rebel. Father, Fang Jifan, was outside the pass and exerted great strength to govern the Tatars. .”

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi remember that he ordered Fang Jifan to manage affairs outside the customs. Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "Yes, the policy of confinement is indeed not the best method, but it is not too bad. I don't know, but Fang Qing's family will How is the governance outside the customs..."

  He fell into silence and waved his hands: "Go back, it's getting late."

  Back to Xingzai, Emperor Hongzhi was full of thoughts, and the continuous tent in his mind was still lingering.

  He looked up and saw the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains hanging on the wall. This picture is certainly a fake, and the real one is in the palace.

   It is said that this was seized from the hands of Dai Wang, and it is an ironclad evidence of Dai Wang's rebellion.

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at the undulating mountains and the torrential river almost rushing out of the painting, and suddenly said: "Wang Shouren, do you want to accompany you?"

  The **** said: "Wang Shilang, it's in the roster of the driver."

   "Biography." Emperor Hongzhi said lightly.

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't like Wang Shouren very much.

   It's not that I have a bad impression of him.

   It's this guy, there seems to be something hidden under his peaceful appearance, and there seems to be something unfathomable hidden behind his eyes.

No emperor likes people who are too smart. In this regard, Fang Jifan performed very well. Although he is smart, he always has many bad problems. This made Emperor Hongzhi understand that Fang Jifan is a person, a flesh and blood, greedy and fearful. Die, a lazy and greedy person.

  But Wang Shouren, for Emperor Hongzhi, is a kind of taste that does not eat the fireworks of the world. He is quiet, silent, and does not compete with others...

   Now, Wang Shouren was in front of him again.

   saluted.

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "There is no need to be too polite, I want to ask you, if I want to go to the Tatar camp alone, I need someone to accompany me, do you dare to go?"

  Wang Shouren said: "Dare!"

  Simply neat.

Hate.

  Can't you just meditate for a moment like Ouyang Zhi did?

Emperor Hongzhi was not sure. He stared at Wang Shouren, as if he wanted to see through him and understand his thoughts, but Emperor Hongzhi failed, which made Emperor Hongzhi a little discouraged, but said: "If any Tatars offend me, the Qing family Aren't you afraid?"

   "I am not afraid."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Why?"

   "I will beat them to death!"

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  He looked at Wang Shouren, and when he uttered these words, he was still calm, as if Wang Shouren was talking about the minister and them being good friends.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, then, Qing, go and prepare."

  Wang Shouren saluted: "The minister will leave."

  He just took two steps.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Wait a minute."

  Wang Shouren stopped.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Do you want to call the prince and your mentor?"

  Wang Shouren said: "Your Majesty has his own holy order."

   Bai asked.

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his hand: "Go."

  This person... is really not human.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at his back, a little dazed.

  …

   Early the next morning.

  Wang Shouren has already made complete preparations.

  Emperor Hongzhi put on a round-neck satin jacket, dressed like a merchant, and the chariot and horses were ready, so he got on the chariot.

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were dragged here inexplicably, put on warrior clothes, and then became guards.

  Liu Jian became an accountant. When he was pulled here, he looked dazed. When he heard that he was going to the Tatar settlement, Liu Jian almost cried. Come on, come on, why do you want to drag the old man? The old man will bear the infamy, and...the Tatars are so cruel, His Majesty will take back his order, it is absolutely impossible.

  But... Obviously His Majesty is becoming more and more arbitrary.

  A secret decree, Liu Jian was stuffed into the car, he became the accountant, and then the team set off.

  Early in the morning, Marquis Qiu Jing of Changle took people to Xingzai to greet Emperor Hongzhi, but the door was closed, His Majesty occasionally felt unwell, so no see!

  Qiu Jing was a little speechless, and returned in awe.

  How did he know... At this moment, His Majesty has left Datong and arrived at a market a few miles away along the dirt road made by countless horses and horses.

Here, there are countless streams of people, including Han Chinese and Tatars, countless cows and horses tied to stakes, and the street is full of weird smells of urine and horse manure, but the people here are very energetic. People use different languages, point fingers, and convey messages.

  The carriage stopped at an inn, and someone had already come out of the inn graciously.

   "Objective, stay at the tip or stay at the hotel?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was amused, looking at the huge tent: "Is there an inn here?"

   "Of course there are." The buddy is good at observing words and expressions: "Otherwise, so many merchants come out of the customs to buy, where to live, our tents here are all first-class, comfortable to live in, guest officer..."

   As he spoke, he raised his eyes and saw two young men behind Emperor Hongzhi. These two people looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before, but after careful consideration, he had no impression.

  He kept smiling and lowered his voice: "We have girls here... white, black, old, young...all of them."

  Emperor Hongzhi immediately put on a straight face...

   Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up.

Before Emperor Hongzhi could react, Fang Jifan rushed forward angrily, grabbed the man's skirt, and said angrily: "What do you think of me as a dog? It's shameful, bah, you Dirty bastard, how can you say such a thing, your mother never taught you, whore, God hates it? Get out!"

  The shop boy's face turned green from fright.

It seems that he has a lot of experience, and he said in embarrassment: "Million death, ten thousand death, small nonsense, small nonsense, but..." His eyes rolled, glanced at Fang Jifan, and then again, Emperor Hongzhi: "This old gentleman is your father-in-law, Master Taishan?"

  Fang Jifan: "..."

But immediately, Fang Jifan became even angrier: "What does it matter? We are talking about two different things. Do you think I won't scold you if I am not here? Fortunately, I am here, otherwise, I will still beat you. Kill you bastard, and you will know what is called benevolence, righteousness and morality."

  The shop boy nodded repeatedly: "Is it the villain, is it the villain's fault?"

   "Bah! Smelly shameless." Fang Jifan spat and spit on the ground: "Go, ignore him."

Emperor Hongzhi was a little embarrassed, with his hands behind his back, only smiling, and the group of people stopped staying in the store, and walked a few steps, but suddenly, a Tatar came towards him. The Tatar's face was red, as if because of Because of the usual exposure to the sun and rain, he seemed a little cautious. He looked at Emperor Hongzhi and his party before he stepped forward, squeaked, and gestured: "You... are businessmen? Are... do you want to buy horses... I have cows and horses , There are many cows and horses, good, very good cows and horses!"

  Zhu Houzhao took advantage of this opportunity to look back at the inn.

  Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi and let Emperor Hongzhi make up his mind.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Tatar man and pondered for a moment: "Really? Then, please lead the way, let's go and have a look."

  When the Tatar heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly led the way.

  Emperor Hongzhi followed behind.

  Fang Jifan, Zhu Houzhao, Wang Shouren, Liu Jianren and others obediently chased after them.

  ...

  The third one is delivered, ask for a monthly pass, and go to sleep.
