Seeing that Ye Chunqiu said yes repeatedly, Xie Qian's face finally softened, he glanced at Ye Chunqiu deeply, and then showed a little smile, and said, "But you're lucky now." ” "Lucky" Ye Chunqiu looked confused.
Xie Qian threw out a sentence lightly: "Liu Gong is very interested in your new army. ” Ye Chunqiu didn't show any surprises, and it was strange that Liu Jian was not interested in the new army.
As Xie Qian himself said, they are not scholars who are not the Son of Heaven, but they are definitely the prime ministers of scholars and scholars.
Now the prestige of the Zhenguo New Army is very high, especially in the minds of scholars, scholars hate soldiers, because they think they are vulgar, but the scholars themselves are soldiers, the meaning is completely different, and the Zhenguo New Army hangs the recruits of the warrior battalion and becomes famous in one fell swoop To put it bluntly, the cabinet members are a bit like the prime ministers elected by later generations, and they need to do something to please the voters; However, in this Ming Dynasty, scholars who have the right to vote and parliamentary power, to a certain extent, the cabinet scholars need to be pleasing to the people, and what they like, they may as well show their love for them, so that they can also increase some prestige.
Xie Qian continued: "After the year, the little prince of the Tatar Department will lead an envoy into the customs to discuss the matter of the border towns and markets, and Liu Gong has already revealed some meanings, hoping that the new army of Zhenguo can serve as a guard of honor to welcome the Tatars. ” The little prince also came The so-called little prince of Tatar, in fact, is an official position, but it is said that this person is very powerful, in the Hongzhi and Zhengde years, has more than once harassed the Ming border town, this person is also extremely cunning, harassment and attack at the same time, and from time to time to ask for peace, after beating you, and then pitifully ordered someone to send a letter of state, a very aggrieved look, and then talk about how he loves peace, unwilling to conflict with the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming closed the trade of the border towns, so that they lost the opportunity to interact with each other, can not communicate with each other, That's how it was.
These, Ye Chunqiu has dabbled in some official documents in the edict room, last year, the little prince attacked the front line of Xuanfu and captured many soldiers and civilians, just two months ago, but suddenly sent people back hundreds of captured soldiers and civilians, including many border generals of the Ming Dynasty, as well as a royal history who supervised the war in Xuanfu.
The little prince released his goodwill, and put on a posture of being willing to negotiate peace, and after several court discussions on the Ming side, he finally decided to negotiate peace, but Ye Chunqiu never imagined that this time the Tatars sent a big battle, and the little prince actually came in person.
Ye Chunqiu looked at Xie Qian, showing a little melancholy, and said seriously: "Duke Xie, this little prince is not good, the peace negotiation is false, and the wealth is true, although they attacked the border pass last year, but I Daming was strong and clear, and did not let them plunder the treasury, I heard that the weather in the desert this year is extremely bad, most of the Tatars have suffered disasters, since they did not get what they want by war, most of them hope to achieve it through peace negotiation this time, if so, wouldn't it be a tiger for trouble" Xie Qian didn't expect that Ye Chunqiu also knew about the situation in Tatar, so he smiled and said, "I never thought that you had done a lot of homework in the edict room, it's rare; But having said that, you must know that the Tatars were plagued, the weather was bad, they did not have enough food, and there was bound to be a widespread famine. ” Xie Qian didn't talk to him about benevolence, righteousness and morality in front of Ye Chunqiu, and told him the truth: "But have you ever thought that when the Tatars encounter this situation, they only have two ways to go, or they negotiate peace, get food, and survive next year's food shortage, and once they are cornered, instead of sitting and waiting in the desert, and can't get food, they will inevitably die and the net will be broken, and at that time, they will inevitably attack the border towns frantically, and the people who are about to starve and go crazy are the most terrifying, They will recklessly invade the Ming Dynasty, the border of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles long, and it is impossible to prevent it, and as long as one place is lost, the next border towns and places will be ruined. ” After saying this, Xie Qian sighed, and then continued: "You have been honing for so long, I don't think you are as unsophisticated as those who only know how to read books, and there are some things that you must be able to understand. ” Ye Chunqiu does understand the bureaucracy of Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others, in fact, there may not be any good in a bloody heart, it is not wrong to be angry at the crown, and it is certainly commendable to burn jade, but the problem is that whether you are jade or stone, what is really burned is the countless soldiers and civilians in the border towns, those people are all flesh and blood, and they are still alive in this not too bad world, and the people who are far away in Jiangnan and Jingshi can open the river with their mouths, and they want to hit the Tatars, avenge the revenge of the Tumu Fort, and kill all the Tatars.
However, these sacrifices need to be defended by the blood of countless soldiers and civilians in Xuanfu, Datong, and Liaodong.
From the standpoint of the cabinet bachelors, they made a choice, although it was a bit embarrassing, or shameless, but they also had their reasons.
It's just that Ye Chunqiu looked at Xie Qian and said; "Gong Xie, the lower officials do not agree with this, with the negotiation and exchange of peace in exchange for a moment of peace, sooner or later, these people will still sprout in a solid state, and when their knives are sharpened, the horses are strong, and after three or five years, it will be another slaughter, although the lower officials pity the border people, but still hope that the court can not raise tigers for trouble, naturally, the lower officials are lowly and shallow, and people are light-hearted, this kind of thing cannot be done, and it is just a few complaints."
Xie Qian smiled bitterly, pursed his lips and didn't answer Ye Chunqiu's words, and after half a sound, he said: "Go, let your new army polish your armor, and when this year is over, let the little prince take a look at the prosperity of my Ming army." ” Ye Chunqiu knew that what he said was in vain, and the people had already made up their minds, so he said, "The student said goodbye." ” He was about to leave, but Xie Qian suddenly stopped and said, "Since you are here, why don't you go and visit your mother." ” Obviously, Xie Qian finally loosened a little here, saying that he wanted Ye Chunqiu to visit Mrs.
Xie, but in fact, he was meeting Wang Jingchu under the supervision of Mrs.
Xie, after all, it was almost the New Year.
Ye Chunqiu showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and then said: "No, the lower official is not in the mood today, and the lower official will leave." ” Aggrieved, the robbers who attacked and disturbed the border pass yesterday are going to become the guests of the Ming Dynasty today, Ye Chunqiu knows that this may be the right choice, or this is politics, everything is based on interests, but Ye Chunqiu just can't swallow this breath.
Ye Chunqiu said that, walked away, Xie Qian looked at his back, shook his head and said, "This kid actually has a tantrum." aa2705221:
