The Ming Dynasty started with caution

The big tent of the Trilateral General System was stationed outside Ningxia City. In the big tent, there was a large table with a large map of the Hetao on it.

On both sides of the table are two weapon racks, and the floor is covered with silk and satin made by Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

The temperature in the tent depends entirely on a blazing fire in the center, with a copper stove for boiling water placed above it.

As soon as Yan Kesong arrived at the border fortress, he came to the general's tent. At this time, he had not seen Wang Yue yet.

Outside the big tent, a mighty old man in military uniform walked towards him. The guard at the door opened the tent door, and he walked straight into the tent.

Yan Kesong knew that he was the general who fought against the bandits at the border fortress, and the Ming Army God King crossed over.

Different from the fierce generals, his face has a somewhat elegant air, not all murderous aura, but also majestic.

Yan Kesong stood up and saluted: "I have met Mr. General Xian!"

Wang Yue remained silent, walked behind the desk, took off his armor and sat down. Without even looking at him, he took off the copper pot on the iron plate and said, "The enemy is harassing us, what do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"Take the initiative and raise troops to fight against the captives!" Yan Kesong said.

"Why are you sent here? I heard that you are the editor of the Hanlin Academy. You have just been promoted to the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. On the recommendation of the prince, you came to the border area. I would like to advise you that if you want to imitate me, I am afraid that you will just It's not enough to please the prince," Wang Yue said.

As an editor, Yan Kesong had compiled and compiled historical events of previous dynasties, so he naturally knew Wang Yue very well.

Wang Yue was famous in the previous dynasty, but after the change of dynasty, although he was appointed by Emperor Hongzhi, he was criticized by the world. All because of Wang Zhi, the eunuch of the previous dynasty.

Wang Zhi was a notorious traitor in the previous dynasty and had a bad reputation. Wang Yue's association with him naturally ruined his reputation. Most of Wang Yue's illustrious military exploits were not recorded in history by the Hanlin editors, and even if they were recorded, there were only a few records. Pen.

Similarly, Wang Yue hated the editors and officials of his dynasty very much, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Yan Kesong said: "My lord has misunderstood. To be honest, I don't want to come even if I am a subordinate, but the prince insists on recommending ministers, so I have the shame to come and listen to Lord General Xian's orders!"

"If you have nothing to do today, I won't leave Mr. Yan to sit down. If you can still bear it tomorrow, come to the military gate to discuss matters." Wang Yue said.

It is extremely cold outside the Great Wall. Yan Kesong is a scholar and has a weak body, so he may not be able to bear it.

Many eunuchs who came from the capital to guard the border areas of Ningxia fell ill the next day. Wang Yue was not optimistic about them, and the war was pure nonsense.

Yan Kesong still bowed respectfully and returned to the arranged account.

It was freezing cold and the tent was very cold. Fortunately, I had my fur coat and Dahui with me. The quilt was a patchwork coat made of wool. The housekeeper was packing the luggage and making the bed.

Yan Kesong covered his head. His boots were wet. He took off his shoes and leaned his feet against the charcoal stove, which made his body feel much warmer.

When his body felt warm, he couldn't help but miss his well-behaved and sensible son.

"My son once said that when I miss him, I open the package. I don't know why it is so light..."

Yan Kesong didn't even have time to look at them on the way. He opened them and found that inside these packages were many letters wrapped in clothes.

There is a line of small words written on the paper: The following letter is to be addressed personally depending on the situation.

Any options?

Letter A: Wang Yue greeted you warmly, so I opened this letter personally.

Letter B: Wang Yue greeted him coldly, so he opened this letter personally.

Yan Kesong thought about it and realized that Wang Yue had a bad attitude toward him today. He always had a cold face and didn't like his arrival.

Then he opened the cold-faced letter and saw that it said: Dad can stay in the army with peace of mind, don't ask any more questions, and you can continue to open the remaining envelopes when you go out with the army.

There are two small words in the lower corner of the letter: Burn once you read it, don’t keep it.

The one I just opened was letter A. Letter B has not been opened yet. Wouldn’t it be a pity to burn it?

Yan Kesong opened envelope B curiously and saw the letter written: Life is in danger! Leave quickly!

Yan Kesong was completely confused.

Why is cold face safe but hot face dangerous?

He really couldn't understand. Could it be that Wang Yue still dared to kill him?

Yan Kesong didn't have time to think, because there was a figure outside the tent door, so he quickly threw the letter into the stove and burned it.

A general wearing armor walked in and said to Yan Kesong: "The general is Peng Qing, the deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui. Your Excellency is from the capital, so he must not be used to military life. I will send some thick dry firewood to Master Yan." , You can burn it for a longer time at night. If there is anything else, just summon the general's troops."

Yan Kesong stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness!"

After leaving Yan Kesong's tent, Peng Qing returned to the general ledger, and Wang Yue asked, "Is he asleep?"

"Hmm! Why did the Commander-in-Chief ask the general to investigate Master Yan? Could it be that he is an enemy prisoner?" Peng Qing asked.

"It's okay, go to sleep."

In the past few days, Wang Yue secretly observed Yan Kesong's movements. In addition to warming himself by the fire in the tent, Yan Kesong was patrolling the camp outside the tent. He did not talk to many people. Even if the military meeting was held, he would only listen on the sidelines.

Only then did he feel relieved.

…………

Yanfu,

Yan Chengjin estimated that his father had already opened his bag of tips. In fact, this trip was dangerous because it was not the bandits but Wang Yue.

As the saying goes, dogs can't change eating shit.

When Wang Yue was in the previous dynasty, he bribed the eunuchs Wang Zhi and Liang Fang, and became brothers with the eunuchs who were very powerful in the Chenghua Dynasty, especially Wang Zhi. Wang Yue also led him to win the battle. Wei Ningbo was at that time Sealed.

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, Wang Yue still couldn't change his bad habit of calling the eunuchs brothers, so he bribed Li Guang, the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Li Guang was a great traitor hiding in the Hongzhi Dynasty. After the incident was exposed, Wang Yue was implicated. Wang Yue was so frightened that he died of worry on the way back to Beijing.

Wang Yue led troops to fight and often made plans, so he was very suspicious, like Sima the old thief.

This time the court sent my father. What is his official position? The censor of the Censorate. What does the censor of the Censorate do? Specializing in investigating corrupt officials!

Your Majesty actually sent a censor with no combat experience to the front line. How could Wang Yue not be guilty?

You should know that when Li Guang's incident was exposed in history, he was scared to death by himself.

Because he was too suspicious, and the imperial edict of His Majesty had not arrived yet, Wang Yue had all kinds of brains. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. In the end, he praised himself.

A proud person like Wang Yue is used to being flattered by others. Under normal circumstances, he will naturally not look good to others.

Cold face is the norm, warm face is a problem.

Find a random reason to kill your father at the border, and then invite a hero to your father. Who knows.

The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. This is true.

As the saying goes, take a chance...

Yan Chengjin is gambling. Although his father has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the border, he may also be killed by Wang Yue.

It is both an opportunity and a test!

Of course, only Wang Yue knows about the dealings between him and Li Guang, the eunuch of the imperial court.
