The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

"My father-in-law, you are so smart. These days, the humble brain is about to explode. Especially the gentry in Zhenjiang City are more difficult to serve than their ancestors. Father in law, please teach me humble duty, save humble duty and fire. "

Since Wei Zhongxian said this, how could Li Yuanqing not climb up the pole?

To put it bluntly, Li Yuanqing's achievements have already been made. At this time, it's time to talk about merits and rewards.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing's words were vulgar, his attitude had been put forward. How could Wei Zhongxian not be used?

He laughed, "Yuanqing, you little monkey has a headache."

Li Yuanqing said, "father-in-law, I can understand your hardship better now. It's hard to do something practical. "

Wei Zhongxian nodded with a smile. There are many people in the world who share the food and gain, but few can bear the burden. However, Yuanqing, the court now also has great difficulties. I can only guarantee you that the food and rates of Changsheng island this year will be increased by 100000 Liang. The rest is up to you to figure out

With 100000 taels of grain and rates, the scale of Changsheng island's salary is nearly 300000 Liang. Although this is just a drop in the bucket for the general trend, Li Yuanqing is very moved by Lao Wei's attitude.

Busy respectfully kowtow way: "the father-in-law to the humble duty's kindness, the humble duty will devote all one's energy, the brain is completely destroyed, in order to repay the father-in-law's kindness when he knows the situation."

Wei Zhongxian laughed.

One of the things he appreciates most about Li Yuanqing is that he knows the rules, knows how to advance and retreat, and he doesn't talk freely, nor is he arrogant and arrogant because he puts forward rude demands on others, which makes it difficult for others to do so.

And at the critical time, Li Yuanqing can still go up and get things done.

If such people are not needed, who should they use?

After exchanging greetings, Wei Zhongxian asked Li Yuanqing about the future situation of Liao.

Li Yuanqing's attitude was regular, or he was mainly prudent. He did not suggest that the Ming army should take the initiative to launch a large-scale offensive against the latter Jin army, but should focus on small-scale harassment and actual combat training.

This is just in line with Wei Zhongxian's wishes. For a while, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves.

After chatting about the business, it was getting dark. Wei Zhongxian said with a smile, "Yuanqing, it's late. Your majesty has almost woken up from his nap. Come on, let's meet your majesty. "

Li Yuanqing was busy and respectful: "everything in my humble position is ordered by my father-in-law."

On the other hand, father-in-law an was just speechless, "this is just a one-stop service."

In addition to his big brother Li Yuanqing, who else in the world can have this treatment?

………

When Li Yuanqing and Wei Zhongxian came to Tianqi's little emperor's bedroom, it was just dark. It was about five o'clock when the sky was filled with snowflakes, which covered the huge palace city in an ethereal confusion.

The little emperor of Tianqi was sitting on the soft couch, staring at the confused snow in the sky. When Wei Zhongxian and Li Yuanqing saluted him, he responded.

Especially when he saw Li Yuanqing, his eyes brightened and he said with a laugh: "my dear friend, when did yuan Qing come?"

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "my highness. Just after General Li arrived in the afternoon, I was afraid that I might disturb your nap, so I chatted with General Li for a while in the imperial study. "

The little emperor of Tianqi said with a smile: "Yuanqing, you've worked hard all the way, are you tired? By the way, have you eaten yet? "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "back to the emperor, not yet."

Emperor Tianqi laughed: "just right. I didn't eat either. Let's eat together. Somebody. Let the imperial study fry more dishes. Oh, yes, more meat. I will accompany General Li to dinner. "

"Yes." Next to a small eunuch rushed to work.

After a few words of greetings, the three people came to the hall. The emperor Tianqi gave Li Yuanqing a seat, but Wei Zhongxian stood behind him to serve.

Li Yuanqing did not know how to describe it for a while. Wei Zhongxian was a slave in front of the emperor, although he was under one person and above ten thousand people.

Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Yuanqing, this battle of Zhenjiang, you and Mao Wenlong played beautifully. Although I have heard Mao Wenlong narrate the story before, I still want to hear you say it again. Tell me about it

How dare Li Yuanqing not obey the emperor's words? Busy smile will be the Zhenjiang battle after the brief Tianqi small emperor and Wei Gonggong narrated once.

However, different from the previous narration of Duke Wei, some thick story elements are added.

Wei Zhongxian understood Li Yuanqing's mind and laughed but said nothing.

Mao Wenlong's perspective is different from that of Li Yuanqing, especially the offensive and defensive battle outside the gate of the south of the Yangtze River, which made the little emperor of Tianqi excited.

Soon, the imperial food was also served. Li Yuanqing and Tianqi little emperor were drinking and chatting. The atmosphere became more and more warm.

Wei Zhongxian saw that the matter had been under control, so he left for a rest.

As an old man, he could not serve the little emperor as he did when he was young.After listening to the battle of Zhenjiang, Emperor Tianqi asked the same question as Wei Zhongxian, "Yuanqing, what did you think at that time? Why should the people of Zhenjiang be moved away? "

In the face of the little emperor, naturally, he was not the same as Wei Zhongxian. After thinking for a moment, Li Yuanqing carefully explained: "emperor, the situation at that time was also forced to do by humble duty. In the war of humble position, we found that the vanguard of the later Jin Dynasty, especially the vanguard of the battle, was dominated by the children of Han family. After careful consideration, I also found the problem. The reason why the later Jin Dynasty was more and more powerful, while the Ming Dynasty was weaker and weaker was largely because it was supplemented by our Han people. This gap is revealed between the ups and downs. "

After a pause, Li Yuanqing gave emperor Tianqi some time to think about it. He said, "emperor, Zhenjiang city is very important. It can be said that it is the throat of Liaodong. With his humble position and Mao Shuai's ability at that time, he could keep it for a while, but it was difficult to keep it for a long time. Especially on the verge of spring ploughing, after consulting with Mao Shuai, I made this decision. First of all, the people of Zhenjiang City were moved away, and Zhenjiang city was turned into a dead city and an empty city. After the Jin Dynasty could not be supplemented and the power was weak, I Daming would take all of them and recapture Zhenjiang city. After all, cities can't run, nor can land run. "

Li Yuanqing finished and bowed his head respectfully.

Although Wei Zhongxian had already got an understanding and made a compromise with the Duke of Wei, Li Yuanqing still did not dare to neglect the little emperor Tianqi. He had to make his words as clear as possible so that the emperor could better understand the meaning.

Tianqi little emperor also fell into deep thinking, for a long time, he said: "Yuanqing, hard work for you. This is indeed the most appropriate way for you to deal with this matter. But I don't know when we can recover Zhenjiang again? "

Li Yuanqing didn't have the courage of governor yuan in those years. He directly said to the emperor that "the Liao Dynasty should be leveled in five years". After a long time of deliberation, Li Yuanqing said: "emperor, Liao affairs have developed to the present, and the later Jin Dynasty has become bigger. If you want to see the victory or defeat in a short time, you can't speak in vain. Maybe ten years, maybe eight years. "

Looking at the little emperor's expectant eyes, Li Yuanqing could not help but make a hypothesis.

The little emperor could not help laughing, "it is not too late for ten years and eight years. I can still afford to wait. Yuanqing, I hope to see the day when you can help me recapture Shenyang City. "

Li Yuanqing was busy kneeling respectfully, "I will devote myself to my humble duty, and I will share my worries for the emperor."

Emperor Tianqi laughed, "come, Yuanqing, let's have another drink."

Li Yuanqing was busy and respectfully motioned to him and drank up the wine in the cup.

Tianqi little emperor was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Yuanqing, she, is she OK?"

Li Yuanqing was stunned. After a moment's reaction, he said in a hurry: "the emperor, my humble position has always taken care of her as a matron. If the emperor needs it, I can bring her to Beijing at any time. "

Tianqi little emperor deeply sighed, but slowly shook his head, "Yuanqing, it's unnecessary. Now, what happened in the inner palace Ah. Let's not talk about it. "

With that, the little emperor looked at Li Yuanqing's eyes, and he poured a glass of wine and drank it all. "Yuanqing, you are the person I believe most. After all, I am sorry for her. Well, I will give her, and I will give her to you. "

Li Yuanqing quickly knelt on one knee and kowtowed desperately, "emperor, how dare you be humble? If the emperor feels embarrassed, he can build a temple for her on the island... "

The little emperor hesitated for a moment. Finally, he nodded, and suddenly added, "Yuanqing, you can let her practice with your hair."

The cold sweat behind Li Yuanqing has seeped out. This is his mother. At this time, the little emperor of Tianqi is still a thief

However, considering the course of history, the little emperor of Tianqi didn't have two years

"Humble and obedient."

Tianqi small emperor a smile, "Yuanqing, you and get up. Come on, today, we must have a good drink. "

………

In the end, Li Yuanqing refused the request of emperor Tianqi to stay in the Imperial Palace and rushed out of the palace against the wind and snow.

At this time, it was late at night, and it was almost 12:30 after midnight.

On the street, has been covered with a thick layer of white, in addition to Niu Gensheng and family soldiers, palace gate, there is no other people.

Seeing Li Yuanqing come out, Niu Gensheng rushed to meet him and put a fur coat on Li Yuanqing, "general."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "go to Sanfu inn."

"Yes."

Niu Gensheng did not dare to neglect him. He quickly called all his relatives and soldiers, surrounded Li Yuanqing in the middle, and drove his horse in the direction of Sanfu inn.

Riding his horse in the wind and snow, looking at the ethereal wind and snow, Li Yuanqing's mood is also a little trance.

Compared with the last time I saw the emperor, his temperament changed a lot.

It's a feeling that can only be understood, but can't be expressed in words.

In short, he has grown up and matured a lot, but he is more introverted, or rather gloomy.Li Yuanqing also said that it was not a good thing for Daming, but for him, it was not a good thing.

Especially when I learned that the matter of the new queen has not yet been settled, and the inner palace is in a vague state

Unknowingly, I have arrived at the gate of Sanfu inn.

Sanfu Inn was destroyed in the fire last time, but with the support of Li Yuanqing, it was quickly rebuilt. However, because of the fire, people thought it was bad luck and the business was not very good.

Some relatives and soldiers have already arrived here in advance. They have tidied up the place and returned to the familiar courtyard. Yang jiaoniang has been waiting here for a long time. "Yuanqing, why did you come back so late?"

Li Yuanqing a smile, but some unspeakable fatigue, "jiaoniang, I am so tired, just want to sleep for a while."

Yang jiaoniang hurriedly hugged Li Yuanqing like a baby, holding Li Yuanqing's strong arm. "Yuanqing, let's go and have a rest. Have a good sleep. Everything is over. "
