I am the king of the dead

Chapter 563 The Great Emperor's Heart of Kindness
"Commander Ma, I've always had a question in my mind, and I want to ask you, or you." He Zhang took a jug of good wine and threw it to Ma Shuo, who wanted to talk to Ma Shuo.

Because Mandulu participated in the killing of the Jurchen envoy, all the aftermath was handed over to Mandulu, and Mandulu did a good job.

After He Zhang had nothing to worry about, he wanted to find an answer, the reason why His Majesty preferred it so much.

"You can't drink." Ma Shuo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty won't allow you to drink alcohol if you don't accept the mission at night."

He Zhang was stunned, and pointed to the wine jug on Ma Shuo's waist. It was good wine, and he asked in surprise, "Then you take a wine jug with you, and everyone will bring it at night."

"Farewell wine." Ma Shuo held the corner of his mouth and smiled and said, "If you know that you are going to freeze to death, you can pour this pot of wine down, and you won't feel uncomfortable when you freeze to death."

"From His Majesty."

He Zhang's expression froze instantly, he looked at Ma Shuo dully, he understood everything.

Understand why Ma Shuo has such privileges, he can freely enter and leave the forbidden area of ​​Ming Dynasty, the lecture hall and the imperial study room of Tai'an Palace.

That was in exchange for life. .

"This wine was originally made of lead and gunpowder. When it couldn't last, he loaded it and gave himself a gun. It was clean and neat, and it fell into the hands of the Oara people." Ma Shuo patted the wine on his waist. Pot, full of memory look.

Why did Sai Yinbuhua recognize Wang Fu at the beginning, but why did he not accept it at night?

It is because of Ye Buhua's energy, Sai Yin Buhua has never seen it on other people.

Ma Shuo shook his head and said with a smile on his face: "Da Ming clenched his fists completely, and when he was about to punch Wala to death, the Wala ran away, so this task is not so dangerous."

"Your Majesty always checks the military newspapers, especially the ones that are not received at night. He never misses them. Later, His Majesty found out that most of the people who did not receive them at night were actually frozen to death or lost their way. So he prepared an extra serving of wine for us."

"Maybe you think His Majesty is a king of subjugation, but we never think so. Your Majesty loves us. Don't you scholars have something to say?"

"A king regards his ministers as brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart."

He Zhang sat beside Ma Shuo, looked at the bright moon in the sky, opened the lid, took a sip and said, "Respect the strong man!"

Looking at He Zhang's appearance, Ma Shuo said with a smile, "Your Majesty treats our soldiers better than His Majesty himself. We are all rough men and don't understand the truth of you scholars."

"You don't know, every time His Majesty pays his salary, he will let the Tiqis visit the barracks, but if they find someone drinking the blood of soldiers, they will investigate thoroughly."

"Can you understand what His Majesty's thorough investigation means?"

He Zhang took a sip of wine and said, "I know that His Majesty is still thinking about the remnants of the Confucian Mansion who are far away in the country of Wa. How long has it been going on, and I have no plans to let them go."

"With His Majesty, Zhang Feng, the servant of the household department who is the third rank, was even taken to the top case."

"Not to mention the case of the abnormal female household that is being investigated now, His Majesty is almost inquiring about it every day, which has made the Ministry of Criminal Affairs very nervous."

"That's right." Ma Shuo said with a smile: "The strict inspection of military pay will allow us to live like ordinary people, and it is His Majesty who gave us."

"Yu Shaobao would also intervene every time. Once, His Majesty and Yu Shaobao had a quarrel."

He Zhang frowned and said, "Your Majesty and Yu Shaobao are still quarreling? I thought that you are a sage and minister, and your Majesty should be concerned about Yu Shaobao being in charge of the leader, and Yu Shaobao should be concerned about the master of high achievements."

"Usually." Ma Shuo was the commander of the emperor's palace guards. Knowing that His Majesty and Yu Shaobao often quarreled, he said with a smile, "The couple still quarrel. Isn't it common for Your Majesty to quarrel with Yu Shaobao?"

"Sometimes His Majesty persuaded Yu Shaobao, sometimes Yu Shaobao persuaded His Majesty, but most of the time, His Majesty persuaded Yu Shaobao."

"Good fight, good fight!" He Zhang nodded and said, "The more Yu Shaobao and His Majesty quarreled, it proved that there was no gap between His Majesty and Yu Shaobao."

"Yu Shaobao knows the world with his uprightness. There are too many, too many things he is not used to. Even though Yu Shaobao is strict with himself and lenient to others all day long, there are too many injustices in the world."

"If Yu Shaobao doesn't quarrel with His Majesty, then Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

He Zhang understands court, if Yu Shaobao and His Majesty are polite all day long, then that is the real danger.

As the head of all officials, Yu Qian sat in that position, the conflict between the imperial power and the minister's power was the first to bear the brunt, and it was unavoidable. If there was no quarrel, it would prove that Yu Qian and His Majesty were at odds with one another.

"What do you want to ask?" Ma Shuo looked at He Zhang with a strange expression.

He Zhang brought the wine this time because he wanted to ask some gossip about Tai'an Palace and the Martial Arts Hall?
Ma Shuo and He Zhang are comrades-in-arms who resist and kill the enemy, and their relationship is completely different from the past.

"Why?" He Zhang stared at Ma Shuo closely, and said something inexplicable.

He Zhang added: "Why do you go through life and death like this? I heard that Yebu accepted 280 people back then, and less than half of them have survived to this day."

"As a result, there was a make-up call the next year, and there were many applicants. Because there were too many applicants, most of them were screened out."

Ma Shuo said quite proudly: "If you don't accept it at night, those who break into the dens of dragons and tigers have no real skills. If you can enter, I will not accept you at night?"

"As for why?"

Ma Shuo said with a little confusion: "Actually, there is no reason. The reasons are all kinds of strange."

"For example, I just wanted revenge. I am from the Xuanfu. When Wala went south, my whole family was killed by the Wala people. I was in the army at that time. It would be better to go to the grassland to kill the enemy if I survived."

"There are those who take revenge, those who make meritorious deeds, some who want to kill people, some who want to make money, some who want to get ahead, and some who gamble. There are all kinds of things, and everyone has their own reasons."

"However, as time went by, those thoughts at the beginning faded away. We didn't know why for a long time. It was His Majesty who told us why."

"Your Majesty said: We are desperate for the lights of thousands of families behind us, because there is also a bright light of my family inside."

"Your Majesty told us why we are desperate."

"In the beginning, most people didn't believe it at night, they just talked about it, but the prairie is cold and there are no people for dozens of miles, so we have to say something to ourselves."

"It's like burning incense and praying to Buddha. After a long time, we believe it ourselves. The key point is that what His Majesty said is right. We are guarding the thousands of lights behind us."

He Zhang suddenly said: "There are good and bad people in this person, and there are traitors even if you don't accept him at night!"

"Your Majesty should not be so partial."

He Zhang's words were somewhat disrespectful, but Ma Shuo didn't care much.

After all, His Majesty doesn't pay much attention to this, as long as He Zhang doesn't scold others in front of His Majesty, and does his errands well, His Majesty will even pretend that he didn't hear.

Ma Shuo's lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Yebushou also had traitors, of course, and the most famous ones were Wang Fu and Wang Yue.

Wang Fu defected to Oala with a grudge, and Wang Yuexin, a Jinshi, also ran away.

Of course Ma Shuo knew what Wang Fu and Wang Yue were doing, but the courtiers didn't know that this matter was confidential and Ma Shuo would not tell it anyway.

Even if, He Zhang is his comrade in arms who resisted and killed the enemy.

"You guys are so strict that you don't shut up at night. You can't even cheat." He Zhang looked at Ma Shuo without saying a word, as if acquiescing to what he said, and could only take a sip of wine.

Ma Shuo is a rough man, and he attaches great importance to Ye Bushou's reputation. He Zhang used Ye Bushou's words of traitors to provoke Ma Shuo, and naturally wanted to prove something.

Unfortunately, even so, Ma Shuo never mentioned anything about Wang Fu.

"Your Majesty is indeed right. You scholars have crooked intestines. There are too many convoluted tricks. You can't believe a word!" Ma Shuo said with a sip of tea and sneered.

Right now He Zhang is more like a soldier, drinking from a big bowl, while Ma Shuo is more like a Confucian scholar, drinking tea from a small cup.

"I really want to know something. After finishing this errand and returning to Beijing, you will know. But by then, you probably won't ask any questions. You already have the answer in your heart." Ma Shuo didn't answer directly. question, but said something ambiguous.

He thought about it seriously and then said: "It's what His Royal Highness Xiang said, it's about me having me but not me, it's very applicable."

Mandulu's own mansion was covered in blood, he deliberately changed the bloody clothes on his body before going to the king's tent in Ning Wang's mansion.

"The matter is settled, and the foster father doesn't have to go to the Jurchens to be humiliated. If the Jurchens want revenge, they will only seek revenge from Daming. The angel has taken the blame." Mandulu was wearing a cloak, and he was still a little cold.

Wu Geqi naturally knew everything, and he said worriedly: "What did you pay? Changshengtian said that there is no food in the sky that will fall into your mouth."

Mandulu thought for a while and said, "My life?"

He immediately shook his head and said, "No, my life is not that precious."

"Father, have you ever wondered why Daming Chen Bing Yanshan did not attack, but sent He Zongxian to Da Ningwei?"

Wu Geqi was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know, is it because of the weather? The emperor is always cautious."

"Brother, have you thought about it?" Mandulu looked at Tuotuobuhua again.

This day and two nights were uneventful, and the voices of shouting, beating and killing were relatively short, and Mandulu took full responsibility for the aftermath outside.

Mandulu's question confused Tuotuobuhua.

Tuotuo didn't think for a moment and said, "Are we more submissive?"

Mandulu looked at Agadorji again, but he did not consult the second brother.

His second brother can't let out any good farts either.

Mandulu sat up straight and said, "Father, brother, have you read the letters of Tuogu and Mark seriously?"

"Actually, the Great Emperor doesn't want a war."

"My meaning is easily misunderstood. The warlike emperor is not afraid of war, he just doesn't want to start a war."

"Because after the war, he had to watch his bravest fighters bleed and die, and his loyal fighter families faced family ruin."

"Your Majesty has seen too much in the 14 years of Zhengtong. Everyone in the capital wears sackcloth and filial piety, and every family is plain."

The great emperor is a benevolent monarch. When these words came out of Mandulu's mouth, Wu Geqi and Tuotuobuhua fell into silence.

This emperor, who was as martial as Emperor Taizong and even personally led the army, was actually a benevolent monarch?
As if... indeed.

Mandulu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Father said, since the emperor is still willing to throw a bone, let's hurry up and beg for mercy. I think it makes sense."

"It's better to be Ming's eagle dog than to be a wild dog."

Agadorji said with a fierce look in his eyes: "The capital camp is out, and the defense of the capital is empty. Now we have a surprise attack on the capital, and there is a chance of survival, give it a go!"

"The son of our golden family can't be so spineless."

"We are eagles soaring in the blue sky, we should not suffer such humiliation!"

"Surrender, you surrender! I will not surrender!"

"Brother, give me 1 people, and I'll go to Mobei! I'd rather go to Mobei to eat sand than crawl under other people's feet!"

Tuotuobuhua sneered, and suddenly burst out laughing, the tears of laughter fell down, and then he stopped laughing and said: "Back then when the capital camp was completely mourned, Daming first gathered an army of tens of thousands. Can't beat a group of peasants."

"Give it a go? What are you going to fight for, the chance to be a wild dog?"

"Second brother, how many times did you bring back with you during the battle at Qingfengdian? Outside Jia's camp, why didn't you dare to attack Jia's camp?"

"You have lost your courage a long time ago, so don't say such things."

Agadorji blinked, he wanted to say something, but it seemed that what the elder brother said made more sense.

He thought of the Ming army, how could they fight with their legs shaking?
Tutuo Buhua said quite calmly: "Since we have decided to surrender in an all-round way, no, we agree to negotiate a peace, yes, negotiate a peace."

"Then I will tell the angel tomorrow that after the new year, I will go to Beijing to see you."

"Since it is a peace negotiation, as the Khan of the Tatars, I must be sincere."

If it was said that Tuotuobuhua wanted to go to Beijing for an audience before, it was a test of Daming's attitude. This time, he confirmed the time, so he really planned to go to Beijing.

Once there, there will be no chance of returning to the grassland.

Tutuo Buhua faced a very real problem, which annoyed Daming, and he really couldn't beat it.

Not to mention the [-] army, but the [-] guards brought by He Zhang, he didn't know how many casualties he would have to pay if he wanted to wipe them all out.

"Let's surrender. This Khan has been working for so many years, and I'm tired too." Tuotuobuhua looked at the south dejectedly, which was the direction of the Great Ming capital.

He asked in a low voice: "Have you prepared the gift for the Great Emperor? We don't have much to offer. I hope His Majesty can accept our Hailar."

"It's all ready." Mandulu replied.

It has been prepared long ago, and has even been sent to Daming.

At this time, in the capital city, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty was arguing with Hu Wei.

"I will never let this so-called Hailar enter the palace!" Zhu Qiyu said while knocking on the table.

"Hu Wei, what do you intend to do? Are you planning to force the palace?"

"This has been said several times, it is absolutely impossible!"

Hu Yan said with a full smile: "Give me 1 guts, and I won't dare to force you to enter the palace."

"Isn't this a discussion with His Majesty?"

Zhu Qiyu patted the table and said: "Are you negotiating? If I don't agree, are you just staying in this imperial study? I've said one thing almost twenty times."

"Relying on the fact that I have been in the court for 50 years, relying on the old to sell the old?!"

Seeing that His Majesty's attitude has not eased, Hu Wei said helplessly: "The minister will come and ask tomorrow."

"Come again?!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened, and he asked rather apprehensively, it was the first time he found Hu Min so difficult to deal with.

Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "Chen, sincerity has no virtue."
