The emperor is embarrassed

Ming Zhan saw quite a few descendants of the family.

For example, Liang Dongbo, the governor of Zhili, was born in the Liang family of Fenyang, Shanxi, and he is a rare smart person.

However, Ming Zhan believes that Liang Dongbo is still inferior to Qian Duanyu in terms of temperament.

As the head of the eight governors-general of the world, Liang Dongbo is second only to the status of the six ministers. He is a great official in frontiers, with a graceful and dignified style, which is definitely beyond Qian Duanyu's reach.Ming Zhan said that Liang Dongbo is no better than Qian Duanyu, referring to temperament.

This kind of calmness, compared to a 17-year-old boy, even if he was born in a family, Qian Duanyu really overwhelmed everyone.

Ming Zhan looked at Qian Duanyu and realized that the sense of superiority in the aristocratic nature is not without reason.

In terms of appearance, Qian Duanyu is naturally not bad.If he was really a lame boy, how could Qian Yongdao bring him to the imperial capital?Naturally, there is no little lady who uses Qian Duanyu's name to smash fruit.

With such an appearance, it is not unreasonable to be smashed.Ming Zhan thought to himself.

Ming Zhan is a tricky person. After he gave Qian Duanyu a seat, he ignored him with a word, and just looked at Qian Duanyu presumptuously with his eyes. It took half a cup of tea to put Qian Duanyu's fair face She looked slightly flushed, and fine beads of sweat came out of the tip of her nose.

No matter how good Qian Duanyu's demeanor was, he couldn't help the emperor staring at him without saying a word. He was so nervous that his hands trembled slightly. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he flattered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" You, What are you doing!

"Hahaha!" Ming Zhan laughed suddenly, scaring the young master Qian half to death. Ming Zhan was very helpful to Qian Duanyu's embarrassment, and joked, "I just want to take a look, and I was thrown fruit by the little ladies of the imperial capital Car, what kind of rich god is like jade?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has praised you." As soon as Ming Zhan mentioned this, Young Master Qian's back began to throb.

"I was just joking, you don't mind." Ming Zhan asked with a smile, "I'm about the same age as you, so it's okay to speak more freely. How is your father feeling better?"

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. Your majesty is taking care of everything. You are concerned about the life of Yu father and son. Cao Min thanked your majesty for his kindness on behalf of his father." Qian Duanyu got back to the topic and got up to thank him.

"Get up." Ming Zhan waved his hand, "As long as your father recovers soon, I will be at ease. If an old man is at this age, he came to the imperial capital under orders, and if he is sick and tired, I can't bear it."

"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven, has benefited the world. Most of my father's illnesses come from grassroots people. It's because grassroots people are unfilial."

Ming Zhan smiled, "What does this have to do with you? It's your charm that makes the little lady love you because of your handsome life. It's fine if Mr. Qian doesn't like it, so why blame you. Haha, that's all. When I have time, I will Good life to persuade him."

Ming Zhan asked again, "At your age, I heard that you have excellent talents and academic background. Why didn't you come to the imperial capital to participate in Enke? Don't you want to imitate your father Xianyun Yehe's life?"

Qian Duanyu was finally able to answer a normal question, and said in a gentle voice, "Caomin wanted to come, but my father read Caomin's article and said that if Caomin wanted to win the first prize, he was still a little short of fire, so he didn't let Caomin come to participate in the Spring Festival."

What a big breath.

Look at other people, they have to be thankful for how many exams they can win, like that worthless Fan Jin, who can be happy in just one exam, becoming half-foolish.Young Master Qian came here directly for the top spot, and he didn't even think about the second place prospect.

If someone else speaks such crazy words, Ming Zhan will definitely say that he doesn't know good and bad, but Qian Duanyu sits so gentle and elegant, and reveals his secrets in such a humble and regretful way, Ming Zhan has a feeling that what he is telling is the truth .

Omg.

Ming Zhan sighed, what a perverted family this is!

This is like in the college entrance examination, if you don't get the top score in the college entrance examination, you won't let you feel like a university!

Taking another look at Young Master Xiaoqian's slightly frail face, Ming Zhan felt extremely sympathetic to this man, because he was not sure about being the number one scholar, so he didn't come to Chunwei.He was beaten for passing a few nonsensical gossips with the little lady.

Alas, it is not easy to be a child of a family! .

It's really as easy to enjoy as the glory and wealth!

When they met for the first time, although Ming Zhan had prejudice against the Qian family, he couldn't help but have a good impression of Qian Duanyu.

"Warm and moist as jade." Ming Zhan admired Ruan Hongfei, "If you talk about Qian Duanyu's appearance, it is naturally not comparable to Song Yao and Xue Shaoliang. However, I have met so many people, and only Qian Duanyu is worthy of these four. word."

Ruan Hongfei smiled, "You are looking at others."

Ming Zhan shook his head and said sternly, "Although I am greedy to look at people's good looks, that's just an appreciation of beauty. Except for you, Feifei, I will never be tempted by others. I say Qian Duanyu is good because of his whole body. His demeanor and demeanor are indeed very easy to make people feel good."

Ruan Hongfei was very pleased with what he heard, and Ming Zhan said to himself, "Now that old man Qian is in the imperial capital, I don't know what's going on with Huaiyang."

Lin Yongshang lived up to Ming Zhan's expectations.

As long as there are people and time, it is not difficult to find a needle in a haystack, let alone a small case of corruption.

Since Duan's original request to be a sect to clear the grievances of the He family, and Ming Zhan's hint, Lin Yongshang seized the time to interrogate, and then took the initiative to arrest dozens of servants of the Qian family.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone a mouth that cannot be pried open.

This investigation actually found another family in Huaiyang, the head of the Jin family.

Although the Jin family is not as powerful as the Qian family, they are also Huaiyang Wang family. However, the two families have some old grievances.Let me tell you from the past that the two families have been very good for generations. The daughter of the Qian family married the man of the Jin family, and if the daughter of the Jin family married the man of the Qian family.

In this generation, marriages were made at an early age. Qian Yongdao's granddaughter married the young master of the Jin family.It's a pity that things are unpredictable, but the young master of the Jin family is quite flamboyant. In other words, he likes chrysanthemums.

What's worse is that Young Master Jin is not interested in anyone else, but the youngest son Qian Duanyu who is by Qian Yongdao's side.

I don't know the details, anyway, Young Master Jin didn't take advantage of it, so he vented his anger on his wife.Among other things, the girl of the Qian family puts her chastity first, and she has always firmly believed in the theory that one horse should not have double amines, one woman should not serve two men, marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog.

This girl from the Qian family was chaste and desperate, and she knew that she could not remarry or divorce, but she was also from a family background, how could she survive this kind of life, and she couldn't make it, so she hanged herself in a white silk Kim's.

If he died of illness, the Qian family would naturally not be able to hold them accountable.

But her own girl hanged herself, how could the Qian family not ask about it!

The lawsuit of the Qian family and the Jin family has been going on for two years, and in the end it was Xue Chunhong, Xue Shaoliang's dead father, who gave the sentence, and the young master of the Jin family was beaten twenty times to settle the matter.

It is not easy for a family to have such a long history.

I don't know if it was the Qian family who caused trouble, but twenty boards beat Young Master Jin into a cripple.

Since then, the two families have turned from in-laws to enemies.

This time the Jin family was able to send Mr. He into the inner house of the Qian family with all their hands and eyes, and naturally the help of the servants of the Qian family was indispensable.How to put it, the Jin family and the Qian family were originally good friends, and they had many relatives by marriage.

The Jin family is no stranger to the inner house of the Qian family, and they calculated it on the widow of the inner house of the Qian family.

Naturally, it also involves a series of transactions of money, love, and power. In addition to the bribed inner ghost, it also involves Qian Duanlin, the fifth master of the Qian family.Huaiyang was shocked by the complicated inside story of this matter.

Naturally, the Jin family's vitality was seriously injured when they committed such a shocking case.

Isn't that Mr. Qian Wu, who is doing internal money to plot against his own wife, not cast aside by others?

The two families of money and gold have lost all face.

Lin Yongshang is the governor of Huaiyang, and any first-rank governor will not have any good impressions of the local snakes.What's more, the Qian and Jin families are such a family that has been around for thousands of years and never dies!

Seizing this opportunity, if Lin Yongshang didn't use it, it must be something wrong with his brain.

Mr. Jin went directly to the death row, and Fifth Master Qian also went to the big prison. The servants involved in the Qian family were locked up one after another, and Lin Yongshang sent up a lavish memorial.

Ming Zhan couldn't hide his joy, and praised Ruan Hongfei, "Su Zhuo is indeed a capable minister!" He had already started calling Lin Yongshang directly.

Ruan Hongfei also praised, "Huaiyang can be called a family, that is, the Qian and Jin families. Lin Yongshang has done a good job." It is unrealistic for such a family to really kill them all at once.

Think about it, the Rongning Second Mansion broke out in the Dream of the Red Chamber, but it is said that there are more than a thousand clansmen in five generations.Like the Qian and Jin clans, there have been more than [-] generations of clan members since the genealogy traced back. What a huge number this is, it is simply unimaginable.

Compared with them, Lao Feng's family of the royal family is nouveau riche.

Thinking of using a weathering case to wipe out Qian and Jin, this is a dream!

However, Ming Zhan is still willing to see that he can be physically attacked, mentally destroyed, and weakened.

Lin Yongshang is the governor he sent, and only by deterring the family can Lin Yongshang, the governor, be firmly seated and further control the situation in Huaiyang.

Ming Zhan said with a smile, "If it weren't for the indifference my father has shown to the family for decades, it would not be as easy as it is today."

Feng Jingqian is a subtle master, his way of dealing with the aristocratic clan is to use you, but he will not give you a high position.During Feng Jingqian's reign, none of the six ministers came from aristocratic families.

After 20 years of indifference and weakening without any trace, the power of the aristocratic clan has been greatly inferior to that between Emperor Dezong and Emperor Rendi.

Ruan Hongfei was very happy for Ming Zhan, "If you stay for a year or two, you won't have to worry about the world being in your hands."

Ming Zhan pulled Ruan Hongfei up, went to the desk and unfolded a map of Huaiyang, Ming Zhan pointed to a bay, "Feifei, I originally wanted to build a seaport here. Lin Yongshang is a rare minister, I want him to be in Huaiyang As the last two governors of Huaiyang, we opened a seaport here. From then on, the north and the south can communicate by sea. We can cooperate, build bigger ships, organize bigger fleets, cross the ocean, and go to other countries. , sold all over the world.”

"Feifei, the world is peaceful just by farming. It's easy for people to fill their stomachs, but it's hard to be comfortable and rich." Ming Zhan's whole face seemed to be shining brightly, "Feifei, let's build a prosperous and peaceful world together. How nice."

Ming Zhan is talking about his ideal with his lover. He doesn't think that he really has talents that are different from ordinary people. It's just that fate pushed him to this position.

No one can deny Emperor Wu's selflessness, even his enemies will say at the end: His Majesty the Emperor is truly selfless.

Emperor is the title of supreme power in the world, but Ming Zhan does not claim power. The reason why he needs power is that he wants to make this country develop better.

In Ming Zhan's view, the emperor is just one of countless jobs in the world.

At this moment, all kinds of indescribable and surging emotions surged in his chest, Ming Zhan was hoping for a better tomorrow, but he didn't know that the biggest crisis in his life was gradually approaching.

northwest.

Zhao Lingyan held a bowl of slightly cold mutton soup, poured it into his mouth in two or three gulps, and chewed the half-cooked mutton that still smelled like blood.

The day before yesterday, Zhao Lingyan vomited seven times and couldn't drink any water.

Yesterday, he vomited twice and drank a bowl of porridge.

Today, I can drink mutton soup without changing my face.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Zhao Lingyan ran to the city wall to watch the battle.

Knives, swords, spears, halberds, fists, everything that can be used to fight is a weapon.In this life-and-death battlefield, there is no difference between humans and wild beasts.

The corpses of countless people were piled up under the city wall, and more Tatar soldiers stepped on the corpses of Tatars or Celestial soldiers, attacking the city frantically one after another.

The broth in Zhao Lingyan's stomach began to turn upwards, Song Yao strode over and grabbed Zhao Lingyan by the shoulders, dragged him under a battlement, and asked loudly, "What are you doing on the city wall!"

Zhao Lingyan was pulled and dragged by him, and he bent over and threw everything on Song Yao.Song Yao punched him angrily, turned around and threw Zhao Lingyan to a soldier, "Take him back to the tent to rest."

"Song Yao, Song Yao." Zhao Lingyan pushed away the soldier, wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth, and held Song Yao back, "Just defending and not attacking is not a long-term solution. The Tatars have accumulated ten years of achievements, and it is almost dark today, so don't take the opportunity to shake it up." Boost morale, tomorrow will be even more difficult."

Song Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Lingyan, then grinned, "Good brother, come with me." He asked the guard, "Any good people?"

"Return to your lord, it has been ordered, a total of 800 people."

"enough."

Song Yao pulled Zhao Lingyan, "You can watch for me on the city wall."

Compared to Zhao Lingyan who is easy to talk to, Song Yao is notoriously difficult to deal with.

When he first came to the Northwest, some people joked about Song Yao's appearance, and he was kicked half-paralyzed by this person. In addition to several military contests, Song Yao's martial arts were so high that his strikes were so ruthless that half of the Northwest Army's prestige was suppressed. .Don't talk about making fun of his appearance, if you look at him more than once, you will tremble.

Yi Gao people are bold.

Song Yao was born as a champion of martial arts, he himself has a bit of a temper, and he has a lot of skill in his hands. He insisted on taking away 500 people from the Marquis of Pingyang, and all of them were cavalry. The key points are called: Three Dangerous Passes.

The Three Dangerous Passes are crucial passes, and they are also places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Song Yao went into battle.

There are many scholars who look down on the bravery of ordinary people. In fact, the courage of ordinary people is indispensable on the battlefield.Sometimes, it is necessary to rely on the courage of the common man to kill the winner.

Song Yao is like a fierce tiger out of the cage, he is good at using long spears.Zhao Lingyan raised his eyes to see that Song Yao took advantage of the momentum of a steed, rushed out of the city gate, leaned over to avoid the machete of the Tatars, shot backhand, and pierced the bodies of two Tatar soldiers.

Seeing the bravery of the master, the soldiers behind them all aroused their courage and fought desperately.

The pressure on the top of the city suddenly decreased.

This is Song Yao's first battle.

He took 800 out and brought back 670 six.

"Happy, happy." Just looking at Song Yao's face, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that this person is so fierce and sturdy.Song Yao stretched his arms, and his personal soldiers waited for him to remove the heavy armor.Song Yao raised his hand to loosen the bun on his head, loosen his scalp, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands and face clean, and said to Zhao Lingyan, "We have enough food and grass here, so it's no problem to keep it for a month."

Zhao Lingyan smiled and poured two cups of green tea, "It is a great achievement to defend the three dangers."

The blue hair hangs down, and Song Yao's fierce breath naturally loses three points. He takes the tea in Zhao Lingyan's hand and drank it in one gulp. Cut. Are you feeling better these days?"

"It's all right." Zhao Lingyan filled the tea channel for Song Yao again, "Fortunately, the imperial court has made preparations, the library has sufficient medicinal materials, and the military doctors are willing to do their duty."

Song Yao smiled, disapproving, "If you dare to take Joe again at this time, you will be courting death."

Zhao Lingyan is a master at martial arts, and Marquis Pingyang is not at ease letting him lead the army. Apart from writing and doing calculations under Marquis Pingyang's command, there is nothing for him to do.Song Yao directly asked Zhao Lingyan to come here. Although Zhao Lingyan was not good at martial arts, he was very good at comforting the wounded soldiers and arranging the dispatch of food and documents.

Moreover, he and Song Yao, one strong and one soft, match perfectly.

Zhao Lingyan said, "The Tatars usually go to the customs to grab what they have nothing to eat in the winter. Now in July, when the water is beautiful and the grass is fertile, it is really suspicious to suddenly attack the city at this time."

Song Yao agrees with Zhao Lingyan's opinion, "Who says it's not." Although they have doubts, they are now in low positions and have no access to the core secrets, so they can only guess from the bottom of their hearts.

Apart from the war, Marquis Pingyang and Ma Wei also had to worry about reporting the war news to the imperial capital.

Staff member Fei Zhiqiu said, "Master Hou, the war news should be reported in a good way. I also know from the royal newspapers that the emperor is now planning to build Tianjin Port, and the one who invites investment and bidding. If I send the battle report directly, I am afraid it is from the imperial capital." People are terrified, and it doesn't match the emperor's measurement."

Pingyang Hou said, "You can't lie to the emperor." It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor.

Fei Zhiqiu laughed, "It's not a lie. My lord wrapped the real battle news in the victory report and sent it with gongs and drums for eight hundred miles. The emperor praised you for being wise. And this is just a routine Tatar siege. Our Celestial Dynasty and the Tatars did not fight once or twice, but this is the first battle after the emperor ascended the throne, so it is understandable that the emperor is particularly fond of it."

Marquis Pingyang was somewhat willing, and said with a smile, "Let me think about it." It is impossible for him to entrust others to write such a battle report.

The author has something to say: Regarding Qian Duanyu's name, I lost my mind before. He is Qian Yongdao's old man, and he should be of the "Duan" generation.Qian Yongdao's grandson is of the "Ting" generation.

I am ashamed to say that Zhao Lingyan is the second in the Wu list, oh, my memory, I changed my surname to Zhan!Correction again~~Hey, dear friends, please tolerate the stone of memory deviation~
