In fact, Tie Mo also knew Hai Lanzhu's little thoughts, which was just to prevent Tie from getting involved in this kind of thing. Tie Mo himself didn't care much about this matter, and even if Hai Lanzhu didn't say it, he wouldn't have any plans.
This kind of thing involves too much energy. In fact, Tie Mo thinks this kind of thing is a bit ridiculous, and the cheap father-in-law is also whimsical.
Tie Mo did not take Namu Zhong's matter to heart. He exchanged some instructions with Hai Lanzhu and others, and then left Zhangbei with his troops. He passed through Zhangjiakou all the way to Xuanhua Town and explained many things to Hei Yunlong and others.
.When leaving Xuanhua Mansion, Hei Yunlong, Ma Fang and others sent Tie Mo to Shili Pavilion outside the city. Although they were all rough men in the army, it did not mean that Hei Yunlong and others did not understand the darkness of the court. Shili Pavilion
In the pavilion, Hei Yunlong said with a serious expression: "Brother, when you go to the capital, be careful. Soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the northern Shanxi border towns will be on duty at any time. If there is any danger, please spread the news as soon as possible, and we will send troops to the capital immediately.
With my army of 100,000 on my side, no one can touch you."
Hei Yunlong and others are well aware of the importance of Tie Mo. If Tie Mo makes a mistake, the power of northern Shanxi will collapse. Over the years, Hei Yunlong has fully enjoyed the benefits brought by Tie Mo's control of Zhang Bei. If he changes his master
The political affairs in northern Shanxi still don’t know what will happen. It’s not that Hei Yunlong is disloyal to the court. In fact, in this era, he has to think more about himself. At least in Hei Yunlong’s view, following Tie Mo is far better than following the court.
powerful.
Tie Mo smiled and patted Hei Yunlong on the shoulder, and said easily: "The matter is not that serious. Although some people in the capital will find ways to cause trouble, they may not have the courage to use force. But you,
But we must be steady and don’t act rashly. Once you do some things, you can’t go back. At least we are very satisfied with our current life, right?”
"What I said is true, but we have no idea, but some people don't think so. His Majesty has always been very worried about us." Hei Yunlong smiled bitterly and shook his head. Since Hou Shilu took charge of the military department, Hei Yunlong and Hou Shilu also
There are some correspondence exchanges, and I know something about the affairs of the court. Take this matter as an example, the cabinet is not at ease, and His Majesty is also complicated.
Tie Mo left Shiliting with some troops, and at the same time, a team rushed from Shanhaiguan to Jizhou City. After the team stopped, Zhao Zhijiao, who was the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, hurriedly walked towards the carriage
, not long after, the white-haired Sun Chengzong poked his head out. In more than a year, Sun Chengzong seemed to have aged several years. Seeing the vicissitudes of life on the old man's face, Zhao Shujiao couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Sun Du
The division was restored to Liaodong, which sounded good, but in fact, it was because there was no suitable candidate, so they had to ask Commander Sun to come out and suppress the group of arrogant soldiers. Yuan Chonghuan left a mess, and it was all up to Commander Sun to solve it.
Although Xuanfu is the leader of the Nine Borders, Liaodong has actually been the focus of the imperial court in recent years. Governor Sun drags his old body to go to Liaodong and has too many things to deal with. Zhao Lijiao has been conducting external campaigns.
Bandit, but he still knew what happened in Liaodong. After taking office, Governor Sun first appeased Yuan Chonghuan's cronies, and then went all out to rebuild the Pidao base. These things were so easy to deal with, but they cost Zhao a lot of energy.
Li Jiao was really afraid that Mr. Sun would die in Liaodong if this continued.
Things continued in Liaodong, and the court was still looking for trouble. He helped Sun Chengzong get out of the carriage and entered the prepared room. After Zhao led the teacher to keep those who came to visit with excuses outside, he said to Sun Chengzong: "Superintendent, this is
When you come to Beijing this time, you might as well stay in the capital for a while to recuperate and avoid being so tired."
How could Sun Chengzong not know Zhao Lejiao's thoughts? A wry smile appeared on his old face: "It would be great if I could rest. I'm afraid I won't have such a good life, old man."
After drinking a cup of hot tea to warm himself up, Sun Chengzong looked at Zhao Shujiao thoughtfully: "Do you know the reason for stopping in Jizhou this time?" In fact, under normal circumstances, there is no need to stop in Jizhou.
Sun Chengzong deliberately asked him to spend the night in Jizhou.
Zhao Shujiao paused, smiled and nodded, "Supervisor, do you want to talk about the Iron Supervisor?" Facing Sun Chengzong, Zhao Shujiao didn't even think about hiding it. He knew that he couldn't hide what he was thinking from the other party.
. Zhao Shujiao was so straightforward, which did not surprise Sun Chengzong. Zhao Shujiao has always been a straightforward person, which is why Sun Chengzong valued him.
However, it is obvious that Zhao Lijiao could not understand some of the actions of the imperial court, and was even very dissatisfied. Previously, the Iron Supervisor led troops to suppress bandits and spent a year to quell the chaos in the Central Plains and severely damaged the bandits, so that
The bandits died down. After finally breathing a sigh of relief, the imperial court began to plot against the Iron Governor again. This time he was ordered to go to Beijing to attend some kind of congratulatory ceremony. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the imperial court was not holding something back.
It was completely expected that the cabinet would move the Iron Governor, but what did His Majesty think? Of course, Zhao Lijiao did not dare to say anything wrong with His Majesty. He just complained, "The Governor is not the last general."
He talks a lot. Northern Shanxi is so stable, and the civil unrest can be calmed down, so that the court can concentrate on facing Liaodong. This is all thanks to the iron governor who is stationed in northern Shanxi. Not to mention the reward, you can't make a stumbling block overtly or covertly.
Wouldn’t this chill the hearts of the border officers and soldiers?”
Sun Chengzong felt a little bitter in his heart. Even Zhao Lijiao had this idea and felt it was unfair. So what would the soldiers in northern Shanxi and Datong Prefecture think? Zhao Lijiao didn't say a word to His Majesty, either openly or secretly.
But how could Sun Chengzong pretend not to know? This time, the student was really too petty. He only wanted to test Tie Mo's loyalty, but he never thought about what kind of trouble it would cause.
If something really goes wrong for Tie Mo in the capital, or something completely angers Tie Mo, there's no guarantee that Tie Mo won't do anything outrageous in anger. The 100,000 border troops in northern Shanxi are among the best.
Elites, all armed to the teeth. At present, the Ming Dynasty cannot withstand such a torment.
It is clear that the northern part of Shanxi is safe and stable, and Tie Mo has no disloyal intentions. Even if he supports his troops and respects himself, he can still plan for it slowly. At least wait until the rogue bandits are wiped out and the Liaodong Jurchens are eliminated, and then slowly solve the problem.
The problem in northern Shanxi. But why is this student always confused about the importance? I have written letters several times before, but it has not had much effect.
After Zhao Shujiao finished speaking, Sun Chengzong took a sip of tea and asked with a complicated expression: "General Zhao, you should understand that these are not the words I want to hear. Neither the cabinet nor your Majesty are in our control. I
I want to know, what should you do if there is a change on the Iron Governor's side? Should you respond to the imperial court's call, or should you stand still?"
After Sun Chengzong asked, Zhao Lijiao suddenly became speechless. He had expected this moment for a long time, but when the supervisor asked, he still didn't know how to answer. In this brief hesitation, Sun Chengzong already knew the answer, "Hey
, it seems that this is really embarrassing for you. I won’t force you anymore, I just hope that when the time comes, you can take the overall situation into consideration.”
In terms of winning people's hearts, there is really a big gap between the two students. With just one bandit suppression, Tie Mo was able to make Zhao Shujiao become so determined. Presumably during the period of Central Plains and Southern Zhili, Zhao Shujiao and
The soldiers under his command have benefited a lot, otherwise, with Zhao Lijiao's character, he would not be so hesitant. Sun Chengzong could not blame Zhao Lijiao. Sometimes, Zhao Lejiao alone could not make the decision.
Zhao Lijiao had figured it out. Cao Wenzhao, the former Liaodong commander, was now wearing the same trousers as Tie Mo. At this time, the entire court knew it clearly. Even Chen Qiyu, who was sent out by the cabinet, was not clear about Tie Mo.
Unexpectedly, the cabinet wanted to take down Chen Qiyu, but there was no reason. Chen Qiyu was also very cautious and did not make any big mistakes. He also had a good relationship with Cao Wenzhao and Tie Mo. As the governor of the three sides, Chen Qiyu was worried
With the heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits, the cabinet really has nothing to do with him for a while.
In the world, there is no escape from the word "profit". Tie Mo understood the truth deeply, but another student, Zhu Youjian, had only a partial understanding of it. He always thought that since he was the emperor, others must do things according to his own wishes.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourth year of Chongzhen, it is a folk custom to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new on this day. Tie Mo's motorcade also slowly arrived in the capital. I don't know if someone did it deliberately, but when Tie Mo entered the city, there were countless people crossing the road.
Welcome, no, to be precise, come to watch the fun.
In the past two years, Tie Mo's military campaigns in the south and north have been widely spread among the people, and the people are very curious about him. Taking this opportunity, many people want to see what Commander Tie Mo looks like. Tie Mo frowned.
It seems that the cabinet has been doing a lot of publicity. Everyone knows that An De has no good intentions. If something bad happens in the future, won't it immediately cause a fuss?
A house was built in the capital a long time ago. Since his teacher Sun Chengzong had not yet arrived in the capital, and he was not busy trying to fight with the people in the court, he moved directly into the house. Don't look at Tie Mo's reputation and great power.
After arriving in the capital this time, no one came to visit. Regarding this, Tie Mo didn't know what to say except crying and laughing.
These guys are all very shrewd, and no one is willing to stand out. However, this also shows that the people in the cabinet have no good intentions, and they don’t know what tricks they will use later. Those who have other ideas,
I'm also afraid of being implicated.
In the evening, a man wrapped in a black robe entered the house from the back door. The guards guarding the house waited for the man in black robe to enter, and immediately set up security everywhere, making the surroundings airtight. In the room, people slowly took off their black robes.
She took off her robe, revealing a charming face that was alluring and heartwarming. She pouted slightly, as if she was ashamed or angry, "You are finally willing to come."
Tie Mo said nothing. He walked over and hugged the woman in his arms, caressing her soft body and stroking her black hair with his chin. "It's been hard on you these days. Don't worry, there will be a solution eventually."
.”
Zhang Yan hugged Tie Mo tightly. At this moment, she didn't want to say anything. She just wanted to hug the man in front of her tightly until the end of time. The night was pink, just like that room, tender and sweet. I don't know why.
At this time, the woman on the soft couch touched the man's chest with her delicate hand, with a hint of sadness in her eyebrows, "You should be more careful during this period. You don't have to worry too much about His Majesty. He just thinks too much."
Too much."
"What do you need to say? I'm afraid that something will happen to the cabinet. I have to go see Hou Shangshu when I have time. Your Majesty, you'd better not speak for me. Presumably, your Majesty also feels that you and I have nothing to do with each other.
Some are too close, if there are any more rumors at this time, it will be very detrimental to you!"
"Well, I will be careful!" Zhang Yan smiled sweetly, enjoyed the tenderness for a while, and then put on her clothes reluctantly. Even if she was reluctant to leave, she couldn't stay long, so she sneaked away this time
It took a lot of effort to get out.
After Zhang Yan left, Tie Mo suddenly felt that something was missing. Between the sheets, Zhang Yan was much more powerful than Hai Lanzhu.
Goblin.
The next day, Tie Mo went to the palace. He was not going to court, but specifically to meet Zhu Youjian. Regardless of whether Zhu Youjian was petty or not, etiquette was indispensable. When he came to the capital, if he didn't come to fight
Say hello, Zhu Youjian will probably have some objections again. I went to the imperial study room, Zhu Youjian was very enthusiastic, at least on the surface, there was no dissatisfaction.
Wang Chengen specially asked the eunuch to add a chair. Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "Tie Aiqing, please sit down quickly. I have long wanted to hear about Jiuhua Mountain. Since you are here, tell me carefully.
explain."
"Your Majesty wants to hear it, so I dare to say a few words." Tie Mo sat down and briefly talked about the battle at Jiuhua Mountain. I don't know if Zhu Youjian really wanted to hear it, but he seemed very happy anyway, "Zhongyuan."
The reason why Henan Zhili can regain peace so quickly is all thanks to Tie Aiqing's efforts. From now on, we will inevitably have to trouble Tie Aiqing to send troops to suppress the bandits, so please don't refuse, Aiqing."
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? One hundred thousand soldiers in northern Shanxi are willing to listen to Your Majesty's orders!"
Tie Mo didn't think so, but he still had to do enough on the surface. Sure enough, Zhu Youjian's eyes were a little more happy.
"After the New Year is the congratulatory ceremony, Tie Aiqing needs to be well prepared." Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Tie Mo was a little confused and couldn't help but look at Zhu Youjian in surprise. As a foreign minister, he came to see the court.
He is just joining in the fun, what do you need to prepare? Seemingly seeing Tie Mo's puzzled expression, Wang Chengen quickly explained: "Master Tie Mo, the Ministry of Rites discussed with His Majesty and recommended you to be the guest of honor for this grand ceremony. Your Majesty thinks you have a good image."
It was good, so I agreed to the suggestion of the Ministry of Rites."
"What?"
Tie Mo was immediately confused. How could such a thing happen? He, a dignified commander-in-chief of the border army, went to the Forbidden City to host the congratulatory ceremony. What was going on?
Quite dumbfounded, he shook his head and asked helplessly: "Your Majesty, is this matter settled?"
"It's settled, Tie Aiqing, what's that look in your eyes? Just be prepared, you can't let those people see the fun, I'm very optimistic about you!"
Tie Mo really wanted to stand up and punch Zhu Youjian on the table, but I am optimistic about it. It is useless for anyone to be optimistic about it. Is Mr. Tie Mo qualified to be a protocol officer?
