I am the king of the dead

In fact, Li Wen's political life should have ended after he left Gansu Town, the headquarters of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division.

It was this attack that gave him a chance for a new life. Not only could his political life continue, but he was also promoted.

"Sometimes doing nothing is not a stupid act. I can understand your behavior. Outside Jiayuguan, Daming still has no decision on what to do. Therefore, you should have scruples." Zhu Qiyu is not going to pursue this matter. As for the Ming Dynasty's step-by-step progress in the Northwest, even the court council did not decide what to do. Li Wen made mistakes if he did it or not. It was normal for him to choose not to do it.

In the battle of court, it is already a great fortune to be able to protect one's life wisely.

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a while and said: "Since Uncle Gao Yang has already returned to Beijing, let's rest for a few days and go to the lecture hall as the head teacher."

The head of the martial arts hall will participate in important military affairs. Whether Li Wen will make a steady rise in the future, or stop there, is entirely up to him.

This is an opportunity for Li Wen to show off his talents in the lecture hall, a place where all the heroes gather. Of course, Li Wen can also choose to disappear from the crowd and become a tiny frog on the towering tree of Daming .

The reason why Zhu Qiyu gave him this opportunity was that, on the one hand, this was a one-on-one confrontation. Li Wen represented many, representing Zhenwu, the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and also represented Zhu Qiyu's imperial power. On the other hand, it was not the enemy who did not object.

When fighting for the majority, what needs to be done is not to make too many enemies. Li Wen's border guards have been defending for many years.

In this regard, Lord Jianwen did not regard the generals as adults at all. What kind of hero is Yang Wen? He was the assistant minister left by Zhu Yuanzhang to Lord Jianwen. Such a hero was eventually thrown to Liaodong. At the end of the third year of Jianwen, Jianwen Jun actually wanted Yang Wen to go south to help, and was finally captured alive by King Yan in Tianjin Wei.

If the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will treat him like his heart;

In the fifth year of Tianqi, Guangning was defeated, and Wang Huazhen was dying, but Wei Zhongxian beheaded Xiong Tingbi and passed it on to the nine sides, and finally lost the morale of the army.

"My lord, thank God." Li Wen never expected that not only did he not die, he survived, not only did he survive, but he was also promoted.

Zhu Qiyu changed the subject, thought it over and said: "Uncle Gao Yang, in the spring of the ninth year of Zhengtong, Yu Shaobao returned to Beijing to report on his work. Because he refused to give money to the female cadres and eunuchs, he ridiculed him with his two sleeves, and was finally framed by Wang Zhen and imprisoned."

Thanks to the public criticism from the court, Wang Zhen couldn't do anything, so he was finally transferred to Datong Mansion to stay in prison. After many rescues, Yu Shaobao was released from Datong Prison and served as the governor of Shanxi. "

"Did Uncle Gao Yang know about this?"

Li Wen seriously recalled it, then bowed his head and said: "The guilty minister knew that the world was in shock at that time, and even some guards as far away as Jiayuguan knew about it, and there were many discussions. In fact, the criminal minister also invited the emperor. Wang Kuanyou, there is no way to play the stone and sink the sea. The person who wrote the letter back then was like a crucian carp crossing the river, so I didn't miss this one. "

Zhu Qiyu continued: "When Yu Shaobao was the governor of Shaanxi, he offended the commander-in-chief of Datong, who is now the commander-in-chief of the capital and Marquis Shiheng of Wuqing. What happened then?"

"Shi Heng said that as long as Yu Qian goes to Datong again, he will be killed, while Yu Shaobao will always attack Shiting. However, the two still cooperated with each other during the battle of the capital, the battle of Jining and the battle of Hetao when they went south to suppress the rebellion. Keep Daming safe."

"Ke Qian's impeachment of you is for state affairs. If you have resentment in your heart, you must not affect state affairs."

The reconciliation between Yu Qian and Shi Heng was not easy at all. Is it Yu Qian's grandiosity, or Shi Heng chose not to care? Or are both martial arts and have similar interests?
This is a matter that is not clear, anyway, the two of them stopped arguing during the Jingtai period.

The reason why the reconciliation of generals and prime ministers has become a good talk is that there are very few of them. This is because Yu Qian became the Marquis of Wen'an and Wu Xun of the Ming Dynasty, so there is a chance for reconciliation.

"I obey the order." Li Wen was silent for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "I will not make things difficult for him."

Not to be embarrassed is not to be careless, what Li Wen said was very vague.

If Ke Qian chases Li Wen and continues to bite, Li Wen will definitely fight back. If Ke Qian stops here, Li Wen will not deliberately make things difficult. After all, His Majesty has already spoken, and Li Wen has to give His Majesty this face, especially His Majesty. Just forgive him.

"Who do you think is going to kill you?" Of course Zhu Qiyu knew that it would be difficult to persuade two people to reconcile completely. It would be best if there was no conflict. It would delay state affairs.

Zhu Qiyu asked a key question, Li Wen, as the party who was attacked and killed, did he have any good clues to the murderer.

The guilty minister had no relatives, no reason, and no enmity in the capital, and he was also at a loss when he was attacked from the Xuanfu to Juyongguan. "Li Wen didn't have any guesses about the murderer.

His enemies are all in the northwest, and if he wants to fight or kill, he will not cross the Hetao. He has already reached the gate of the capital, and he is not familiar with the capital.

I do have some clues here, and Tiqi will notify you when the case is cleared up. Zhu Qiyu looked at the Kanyu map behind him and asked, "Uncle Gao Yang, what do you think of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty?"

"The minister thought it was better not to go to the Northern Expedition. Li Wen found that what Cheng Jing said might be right, and saying what is on his mind when he agrees with His Majesty is the greatest respect.

He chose to tell the truth.

Very well, tell me your opinion. "Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, and he asked Li Wen to state his reasons for opposing the Northern Expedition.

Li Wen said very solemnly: "Your Majesty, when the Ming Dynasty attacked Mobei, it was to attack from the lower reaches. It was difficult to prepare and supply troops along the way, so we needed to be extremely careful. When Emperor Wen went to the Northern Expedition, there were more than [-] Wugang vehicles. If Your Majesty The Northern Expedition required such a large number of armaments.”

The land of Hara and Lin is barren. Hu Yuan also relied on the inland to support the outside of the Great Wall, so he supported such a rich place. Without the support from the inland these years, this place has already been dilapidated. "

The land is not beneficial, and it is an unwise decision to attack from the lower reaches. In addition, the battle line is thousands of miles long, and it is too long. It is easy for the enemy's rangers to cut off the supply line. Whether he can come back or not is two choices.

It's not worth spending so much for a piece of barren land.

When Li Wen said these words, he had considered and deliberated over and over again, for fear of saying something wrong and causing His Majesty's displeasure, and just after he was forgiven, he entered the gate of hell again.

"Very good, you continue." Zhu Qiyu asked Zhongshu Sheren to write it down, and then asked Li Wen to continue to state his point of view.

Li Wen was not in the capital and didn't know the rules. Before a decision was made, he could speak freely. It didn't matter if he called the emperor a subjugated king, but if a decision was made and he wanted to make trouble, His Majesty would show him what cruelty was.

This is also why Hu Dan felt that the courtiers during the Jingtai period were all flowers that had not been blown by wind and rain, because this kind of political structure with clear rules is a rare thing in itself.

Those who are more or less superior, like the trick of the unfathomable sacred heart very much. It is the appearance of a saint who Chen Xun chanted scriptures and repeated Taoism in the past.

Li Wen simply stopped hiding, and said concisely: "The minister has been stationed in the frontier for a long time. Since the first year of Yongle, the weather in this grassland has been colder and warmer every year. If this is an attack in spring, In the cold spring, a large number of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will fall ill, and if they go on an expedition in autumn, the Oirats will be fat and strong, and there will be no trace of them.”

"Sun Quan got the nickname of Sun Shiwan. He brought 800 troops to attack Zhang Liao in Hefei. In the end, [-] soldiers from Zhang Liao rushed into the formation, killed several generals, and was charged twice by Zhang Liao. It made people laugh forever, but It is undeniable that at that time, the Wu army suffered a severe epidemic, and the morale of the army was turbulent. No matter how strictly disciplined the army was, it was helpless in the face of the epidemic. "

"This is also the only way for the Mongols to conquer the west. But any city that cannot be conquered will be plagued. If there is a plague in this city, this city will be a dead city."

Li Wen knows how to fight. He has been in charge of soldiers for many years, and he understands things like war very well. Even if he is well prepared, he may fail.

There is no right place, no right time, and this time is no longer the old time. Since the first year of Yongle, the winter on the grassland has become longer and colder, and even the Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia areas have been affected.

Drought broke out in Shaanxi this year, leading to a large-scale reduction in grain production. Thanks to His Majesty's good scheduling, and the chief secretary of Jing'an raised nearly half of the population of the three sides, there was no civil disturbance.

"It makes sense, you continue." Zhu Qiyu said in agreement.

What Li Wen said was correct, he was not talking nonsense, let alone fooling him. These are all objective facts, and the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty must solve the problem.

Li Wen, as a general who has led the army for many years, is not a dead man.

Li Wen was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, once you enter the grassland, you will see mud and cows entering the sea. There are enemies in all directions. You don't know which horseman is a herdsman or a scout of the Wala people. This is not a night. And death in battle is enough to show that even if you are used to life on horseback, the number of casualties in battle is still high. After Wacha went west, this kind of casualties gradually decreased.,
"Your Majesty is out of favor."

Li Wen's performance was correct. From the perspective of the right time, place and people, he comprehensively analyzed various possible problems on the way of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, and if any incident broke out, it would kill the sharp soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming's sharp soldiers are so powerful in combat, it is not a crime of war, and one death in battle is the loss of Da Ming.

"Good, is there any more?" Of course Zhu Qiyu understood what Li Wen didn't say: Your Majesty and King Jili look more and more alike. This is not Zhu Qiyu's wishful thinking, it's just that Li Wen can't be so direct.

The result of the Northern Expedition is very likely to be a disastrous defeat. In order to serve the ambition of the superior, it was the lives of ordinary soldiers who were sacrificed in the end.

What kind of behavior is this?
The behavior of King Jili.

"Also." Li Wen finally said tentatively: "Your Majesty, there is an inner ghost in the court. If you cooperate with the Oirats, how can the Ming army be undefeated?"

"Huh? Why did Uncle Gao Yang say that?" Zhu Qiyu asked suspiciously.

"This Ara Zhiyuan is not a brave man. If he was a brave man, he should have died under the high walls of the capital. Since he was not a brave man, since he dared to rebel brazenly, he obviously got some kind of promise. Otherwise, how could he rebel? ?” Li Wen, Luo Bingzhong, Zhu Zhanyu, and Yang Jun had surprisingly the same point of view, that is, the Assassin Zhiyuan had the guts and obviously got the promise.

Before the Wara people made the Tumubao Tianchang, they still used the horse market and rewards as an excuse to spare the border. If King Jili hadn't been captured, the Wala people would still not dare to shout the slogan to replace it.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, he fought several times in succession. When the Oirats saw that the situation was not good, they immediately ran away while His Majesty went south to suppress the rebellion.

If I don’t catch this inner ghost, how can I go on the Northern Expedition, isn’t this a contribution to the Wara people?” Zhu Qiyu said with a frown.

Li Wen obviously recalled some painful memories, and said with emotion: "If the inner ghost is easy to catch, it is not the inner ghost."

What is the most popular department in Shaanxi Province?
It's a spy.

Almost every merchant is a spy. They bring news from inside the pass to outside the pass, ranging from when valuables are trafficked on a certain road to military dispatching and personnel additions. None of these merchants
I don't know everything.

Catching spies in the Shaanxi Xingdu Division is the most important thing for Ke Qian and Li Wen in the Shaanxi Xingdu Division.

After several years of catching, the spies emerged endlessly like bamboo shoots after the rain, just like the top skill cards growing in the ground.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked, "By the way, did Uncle Gao Yang receive the first merit card that was sent to Gansu Town last time?"

Li Wen has caught more than three hundred spies in the past few years, and all of them were sent to the capital. The Tiqis repeatedly checked and found out that they were finally convicted.

The first skill card cannot be three in one. If it is the first skill, it is the first skill. Some time ago, Li Wen personally arrested a spy, and he was a big boss. Exit.

And the first name on this list, the first thing, is impressively
In the Battle of Jining, King Kang returned to the camp after being wounded more than a dozen times in a bloody battle with a young Wacha scout.

Zhu Qiyu gave Li Wen a lenient, but in fact the courtiers seemed very reasonable, it was just the preferential treatment that Li Wen, who was the top player, received preferential treatment.

For Your Majesty, the plaque has never had a clear purpose of avoiding death, but in the hearts of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, the reward plaque is a pass for jumping out of the Three Realms and not among the five elements.
The fetish that crossed out his name on the book of life and death.

In the final analysis, Daming's pursuit of merit cards was to obtain the golden body of immortality in the complicated vortex of the imperial court.

Even if it is the top card, there are many preferential treatments.
