My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Xie Ruzhuo did not go to stay at the post house, he pretended to send a group of soldiers from the three major battalions to rush to Yaozhou first, and spread the news along the way that he would live in the post house in Yaozhou, but in fact he did not issue an edict to let the people in Yaozhou go. The officials packed up the posthouse and prepared to meet them.He had the three major battalions stationed outside the city, and he brought only about a hundred Jin Yiwei and Shen Ci into the city, and then lived in the inn next to the post house.

They didn't reveal their identities, Xie Ruzhuo even changed out of the dragon robe and wore an ordinary black brocade robe, like a rich man who runs a business at home.They didn't book the inn either, but recently Beidi has disturbed the border, and the number of business travelers in the past has decreased a lot. The inn is very deserted, and they are the only ones staying tonight.

The candle lights were still on in the lobby of the inn, Xie Ruzhuo pulled Shen Ci to sit at the table drinking mutton soup, Song Qinglai sat at a few tables next to him drinking tea and chatting with a dozen or so guards in brocade clothes.

The shopkeeper was grimly counting the unattractive accounts for this month, and he was already proficient at entertaining guests. From the corner of his eye, he knew that someone had come in, but he didn't stop moving his hands. He greeted kindly: "The guest wants to stay in the store?"

The person who came was a young man, tall and tall, wearing a new and clean Confucian uniform, thick eyebrows, high nose bridge, a pair of extremely dark pupils, but with a smile in his eyes, and a gentle appearance. He put down the broken silver, nodded Nodding, pointing to a few attendants who parked the carriage outside, said: "There are four of us, two rooms, we will leave tomorrow morning."

There were only Xie Ruzhuo and a few people in the lobby. The Confucian scholar saw them and asked kindly, "Is the young master a merchant?"

Xie Ruzhuo drank a bowl of mutton soup, felt comfortable in his stomach, drank a few sips of white water to dissolve the smell, and only glanced at the visitors from the corner of his eye, and replied: "Yes, I have a small business at home."

The Confucian scholar didn't see them either, he came over to greet them, and said: "Meeting by chance means fate, may I invite you to drink a pot of good tea?"

"No, I can't sleep after drinking tea at night." Xie Ruzhuo invited him to sit down, "Your Excellency is a student of the academy? What's your name?"

The Confucian scholar glanced at Shen Ci who was at the side, and replied: "My surname is Qiu, and my name is Hanhai. I haven't taken my name yet. I haven't been to an academy. I have some money at home. I went to a private school."

Xie Ruzhuo said: "The surname Qiu is rare, and the name Hanhai is also very interesting."

Qiu Hanhai behaved well, but his temper was very bright, he said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, sir, I don't know what to call you?"

Xie Ruzhuo rolled his eyes towards Shen Ci, and said in a hurry, "My surname is Shen." He pointed at Shen Ci, "This is my elder brother."

Shen Ci: "..."

Qiu Hanhai looked at the two of them and said, "You two brothers don't look alike."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded: "Because we have different fathers and mothers."

Qiu Hanhai: "..."

"Young master is an interesting person." Qiu Hanhai smiled and said, "What kind of business does the young master's family do? Judging by the way you dress, it doesn't look like a small business."

Xie Ruzhuo asked indifferently: "Then what kind of business do Brother Qiu think I should be in?"

Qiu Hanhai poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "I don't think you are a businessman, but more like...a figure in the officialdom."

There was a moment of silence in the lobby, Shen Ci's right hand was quietly holding the handle of the knife under the table, Xie Ruzhuo patted his hand comfortingly, and said, "Really? Then I don't think Brother Qiu is a scholar. He took a clean chopstick from the chopstick holder, and placed it bluntly on Qiu Hanhai's cocoon, "It's more like a soldier."

The three entourages who came with Qiu Hanhai approached the house cautiously, Xie Ruzhuo smiled, seeing that the shopkeeper went to the backyard to lock the account books, and said: "Since you are sitting here chatting, I don't think there is any malice, so don't be so tense. Right?" He looked at Qiu Hanhai with a meaningful smile, "Fourth prince, do you think so?"

Qiu Hanhai's identity was revealed, but he only raised his eyebrows, and said with a normal expression, "Your Majesty already guessed it?"

Of course Xie Ruzhuo already knew who he was, they were very familiar in previous lives.

Batu Khan Yild's fourth son Zabsu's biological mother was a Han woman living outside the customs, so this fourth prince has half Han blood, and his appearance is more Han, and he speaks Mandarin Chinese very fluently. I don't know I really can't tell that he is from Beidi.

Xie Ruzhuo said: "When I set off from Lezhou, I inquired about the situation in northern Xinjiang, and I know that the Beidi people outside Haimen are from the Wuliangha tribe. Who else can serve as a soldier besides the fourth prince himself? Qi Junmao also said that some people from Beidi sneaked into the territory of Dayu pretending to be merchants, so this can only be the fourth prince who pretends to be a man of Dayu who is very good at dressing up. Let me inquire about the news Li said, the fourth prince himself has several trade routes in his hands, so it is really easy to sneak in."

Zhabusu glanced at Song Qinglai and the others, and said, "Your Majesty's Jinyiwei is really powerful, they can find out everything."

Xie Ruzhuo replied: "The fourth prince has been fishing in the troubled waters of the border for so many years, and he is also very good."

"Your Majesty really must take revenge, and you can't take advantage of your mouth." Zhabusu still had a kind smile on his face. He looked heroic but elegant, and he could vaguely see the shadows of some Beidi people when he looked closely, "Just now I didn’t lie to Your Majesty, Qiu Hanhai is the Chinese name I gave myself, I was born in Autumn, and I took Qiu as my surname, Zhabusu is the sea in the Central Plains, but I prefer the word Hanhai used in your poems.”

Xie Ruzhuo boasted: "The fourth prince is more knowledgeable than many Han people."

"Your Majesty can inquire about everything, and you should already know me very well. In Beidi, I am a different kind. Only I am willing to take the initiative to learn and speak Chinese. I like your poems and scriptures very much, and I even admire you very much." Reversi, ink painting, and gala music. But it’s not because my biological mother is Han, but I want to learn it myself.” Zhabusu finished his cup of tea and said slowly, “The Han people can last for thousands of years in the Central Plains, and the dynasties have changed. Just changed the surname, and nothing else has changed. Even if it has been occupied by foreigners for a hundred years, the Central Plains is still the Central Plains of the Han people. This is very strange. When I was young, I asked my mother why, and she asked me to read books about Han people, go to Han people I will know the answer if I walk around the land."

Even though he had heard it in his previous life, Xie Ruzhuo still listened patiently at this time, calmed down as if he was listening to Zen in a mountain temple, and asked, "Does the fourth prince know the answer now?"

"Maybe I know." Zhabusu smiled, "I admit that you Han people are very powerful, and I gradually understand why we Beidi people are obviously better at fighting than you Han people, but we can only stay in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. I can’t come back either. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and etiquette, I used to think that these are all ostentatious and useless, but after learning, I realized that this is a sharper weapon than a sword, gun, sword, and halberd. Something that defeated Yan Dezong and Aruhan."

In his previous life, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't believe that there were people from Beidi who would praise their Han poetry and etiquette so much, but in the following years of contact, he had to admire Zhabusu's vision and mind, which he couldn't compare to. Up.

Therefore, in his previous life, he regarded Zabusu as a friend and made a covenant in exchange for at least decades of peace between Dayu and Beidi.

In this life, he set off to Haimen earlier than in the previous life, but when he arrived at Haimen, he still heard that someone had sneaked into the territory, so he knew it must be Zhabusu.

The reason why he wanted to mix with Dayu was naturally because he came, and Zhabusu wanted to meet him face to face.

The two of them have just met in this life, Xie Ruzhuo saw that Zhabusu didn't seem to want to talk further, and didn't have a deep conversation, so he said instead: "Tell me, what is the fourth prince looking for me for? Of course, I also have something to ask the fourth prince. help."

Zhabusu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Then I want to hear what His Majesty has to say first. After all, Your Majesty is smarter than me. I am afraid that I will be sold by Your Majesty and I will help His Majesty count the money."

Xie Ruzhuo smiled, and said generously: "It's not difficult, I just want to borrow some money."

Zabusu: "..."

"Indeed, I've also heard that your court is short of money." Zhabusu said with a smile, "But our Beidi suffers from bitter cold all year round, so if we have money, we don't have to think about coming to your Dayu."

Xie Ruzhuo waved his finger up and said: "Ild and Hu and Lu may not have much money, but you must be rich, fourth prince. You can support the entire tribe with just one trade route in your hand." Alright."

Zhabusu stopped pretending and said, "How much does Your Majesty want?"

Xie Ruzhuo said: "Not much, 10 taels. Silver is fine, gold is unnecessary."

The corner of Zabusu's eyes twitched, and he said, "Business has been difficult in recent years, and 10 taels of silver is more than one business route."

Xie Ruzhuo didn't buy it: "But you can definitely get it." He tapped on the table with his fingertips, and his tone was familiar, as if he was really talking to an old friend, "Excuse me for help, we are so poor that we can't even pay officials' salaries .”

"I have conditions." Zhabusu also convinced the crying poor emperor, "I went out with my father Khan to fight against the Qiang people in winter. This area is currently my territory. After returning to Beijing, His Majesty will open a business in Haimen. On the way, I will retreat immediately and will not come again, and I can also help His Majesty watch over the Qiang people, and then 10 taels of silver will be sent there soon."

Zhabusu looks gentle and gentle, but among the sons of Yild, he is actually the most combative one, but he is not inclined to go to war with Dayu, on the contrary, he has always been more inclined to do business with Dayu, and exchange mutual benefits Just like the covenant they made in the previous life.

Xie Ruzhuo began to bargain: "I'll take 5 taels first, and I'll go back to Beijing and issue an edict to open a business route after I've dealt with the matter here."

Although Zhabusu felt that Xie Ruzhuo was shrewd and difficult to deal with, he also felt that talking to him was not tiring. Instead, it gave him a feeling of being very close to each other. He shook his head helplessly and smiled, and ordered the Beidi entourage outside the house to go to the merchant in Yaozhou to collect money. ticket.

Xie Ruzhuo was elated, thinking that he is finally rich, thought for a while, and pointed out: "In the future, if the fourth prince needs it, I can also lend you soldiers."

The Beidi people have a tradition of having youngest sons. Among Yild's sons, the sixth son is the most likely to succeed Khan. Xie Ruzhuo didn't make it clear, but I believe Zhabusu knows in his heart that he will definitely have a fight with his younger brother in the future.

Zhabusu joked, "But Your Majesty doesn't have any soldiers now, right? Even if you have one in the future, the generals who can lead your troops in Dayu either rebelled or were at odds with the court. Even if Your Majesty has a million soldiers, there are none Good general, it's useless to lend it to me."

Concerning the face of the family and the country, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly came up with a competitive heart. Hearing this, he snorted, turned his head to look at Shen Ci who had been sitting quietly, grabbed his arm, and said, "Who says I have no good generals? This is my Good general, with him here, I can fight wherever I want, even if I take you Beidi, it is not impossible."

The author has something to say: Xie Ruzhuo: My husband is a thief!

Zabusu: Really?I am really scared.

One of my own views is that culture is a more powerful force than the military. It can kill people invisible, and it can also maintain a country for thousands of years.I lament the long history and profoundness of Chinese culture every day.
