Borrow the day to change the day

"Return to Shaobao, the next governor must be the Denglai that you are familiar with, but he has not taken office yet. This time, I specially asked the emperor for this mission. One is to invite you to come out of the mountain, and the other is to ask you about Denglai. Things."

The imperial envoy who came to deliver the decree to Yuan Keli was Lu Xiangsheng, who had recently been appointed Governor of Denglai.

Yuan Keli was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect that this imperial envoy was actually the governor of the place where he had devoted a lot of effort back then.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the letter in his hand, and found that it was written on the envelope that it was written by my brother.

Yuan Keli could tell at a glance that this was the handwriting of his best friend Kai Yang.

After Tianqi and Sun Chengzong resigned successively, they have never heard of him again.Therefore, when he saw Sun Chengzong's letter, Yuan Keli was very happy, immediately opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it.

In the letter, Sun Chengzong first briefly introduced his situation.It was under the command of Marquis Zhongxing that he was in danger as the commander-in-chief of King Qin's army, lived up to the grace and completed the task, and then served as the governor of Jiliao.Then he introduced the situation in Liaodong, and begged him to come out to help him guard the front line of Guanning.

Sun Chengzong also praised Lu Xiangsheng in his letter, and stated that he captured the slave chief Aixinjueluo-Amin alive, and fought against Qingshui Mingyue Pass under the leadership of Zhongxinghou.If you don't understand anything about the situation, you can ask Lu Xiangsheng face to face to clarify.

Finally, Sun Chengzong implored Yuan Keli to come out of the mountain again. [

After reading the letter, Yuan Keli spoke silently, lowering his head and thinking about the information he got in the letter.

Since he lived in Yuanjiashan, he didn't let his family disturb his practice with mundane matters, so he didn't know the process and results of the Gyeonggi War and what happened in the court.

Now that I know so much information at once, I still feel quite touched in my heart.

The illusory way of immortality can be obtained after Denglai has a look.Although he is one year older than Sun Chengzong, his achievements are far from his.

At present, Sun Chengzong is trying his best to save the country from the crisis, and is also devoted to Liao affairs, focusing on state affairs.Compared with myself these years, I feel a little regretful about wasting my time.

He looked up at the imperial envoy, Lu Xiangsheng whom Sun Chengzong admired, and saw that he was still standing there, waiting for himself to read the letter.

Yuan Keli couldn't help feeling fond of him again. He was young and had already made great achievements, and he was now the governor.But it's really good to be respectful in front of myself who has already retired.

"Jiutai, right? Come, please sit down and talk." Yuan Keli put away the letter, then pointed to the chair next to the coffee table and said.

"Thank you, Shaobao." Lu Xiangsheng cupped his fists respectfully, and then went to sit on the side seat.In front of Yuan Keli, he made up his mind to pretend to be an underachiever.

Yuan Keli shouted "serve tea" before turning his head back to talk to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng was full of anger when he heard Yuan Keli calling for tea, he secretly laughed in his heart that Shaobao had given an excuse of old age and infirmity, and he knew it was prevarication at a glance.

"Jiutai, can you tell me the details of what happened in the court recently?"

Yuan Keli was indeed qualified to call himself an old man in front of Lu Xiangsheng, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't find it harsh at all, and at his request, he began to tell Yuan Keli in detail what had happened in the court since last year.

During Lu Xiangsheng's narration, A Hong came in and served two cups of tea, and then retreated with a smile on his face.

When he saw that the master was listening to the imperial envoy explaining the affairs of the officialdom, he knew that the master's heart had been diverted from Taoism. [

Yuan Keli listened, his face began to show a slight shock, and then it became more and more serious. In the end, with the composure he had cultivated for many years, he still couldn't hold back, interrupted Lu Xiangsheng, and asked him: "What is the situation in the court?" The change, the restructuring of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the change of functions of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the turning point of the Battle of Gyeonggi all originated from this Zhongxinghou. Who is this Zhongxinghou? Couldn't it be a monkey grandson jumping out from the cracks in the rocks?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he laughed and replied to Yuan Keli: "Shaobao is right. Lord Hou was indeed born out of nowhere. God bless Daming! He is an overseas survivor of the former Song Dynasty. He came back because he missed his homeland. He met the chief assistant on the street. The first assistant was introduced to the emperor because of his extraordinary knowledge, and by chance, he had the power to save him, so the emperor began to reuse him."

Yuan Keli didn't really believe that the overseas people were so capable. Looking at their actions, from civil affairs to political affairs and then to military affairs, they were not involved, and some aspects were even proficient.When he was born in this way, it caused a big change in the court situation.Just such a person, if there is an overseas survivor of the former Song Dynasty, who can teach such a character, if there is such a teacher, then the former Song Dynasty will not perish.

Yuan Keli's thoughts turned, and he remembered the mirage he saw in Denglai, and saw the Penglai fairyland inside.With a thought, could it be that there really are gods, and this Zhongxing Hou was sent by heaven to help Daming Zhongxing?

At this time, Yuan Keli still believed in Taoist legends. When he had doubts, he asked Lu Xiangsheng hesitantly, "What kind of person is this Zhongxing Hou?" After he finished speaking, he saw that Lu Xiangsheng was a little confused, and explained: Are there any rumors about this Zhongxing Marquis?"

Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback, he didn't expect Yuan Keli, the dignified crown prince Shaobao, who was an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War, to ask this question, but since he asked, Lu Xiangsheng naturally didn't know what to say.

"This one really exists. It's amazing. It is said that he is the god who was sent by the Taizu to assist the emperor. At first, it seemed to be spread in the palace, and then it spread more widely among the people in the capital, and it was even more outrageous."

While listening to this, Yuan Keli stroked his beard with his hands, and he couldn't help feeling eager to meet this Marquis of Zhongxing, to see if he was sent by heaven, so as to clear up the doubts in his heart for many years.

But if you want to see Marquis Zhongxing, it is impossible to let a Marquis come to see you.That is the Marquis, who is higher than the civil and military officials, so I can only find him by myself.

"Then this Marquis of Zhongxing is in the capital now?" Yuan Keli leaned his upper body, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and asked with concern.

"Master Hou was busy with state affairs, so he took the initiative to postpone the marriage, escorted the frontier army to Shaanxi, and would return to the capital in a month at most." Lu Xiangsheng deliberately praised Zhong Jinwei in front of Yuan Keli, so he said more about Zhong Jinwei.

"Oh, marriage?" Yuan Keli asked with some doubts upon hearing this.

"Yes, the emperor bestowed a marriage last year. Lord Hou felt that Jianlu was raging in the land of Gyeonggi, so he told the emperor to repel Jianlu before getting married. But after the victory in Gyeonggi, the frontier army's food and payment could not be delayed. Because of the corruption case, The emperor only trusted Hou Ye and a few others. So Hou Ye asked for orders to escort the army to the border, and the marriage had to be delayed again."

When Lu Xiangsheng said this, his heart moved, and he said again: "Master Hou once said that he heard Shaobao's name overseas, and he admired him very much. He wanted to ask the emperor, but he heard that Shaobao didn't want to go out of the mountain, so he sighed that his merits were not full. It's a pity. .”

Yuan Keli was taken aback when he heard that, what, what does Marquis Zhongxing mean that his merits and virtues are not yet full, so he will not be able to see the fairy trail, see miracles, and it is difficult to achieve enlightenment?

He already preconceived Zhong Jinwei as a god sent from heaven, so after hearing what Lu Xiangsheng said, he began to wonder whether he had not done enough good deeds.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng just looked at his words and deeds, took advantage of the trend, and just tricked him out of the mountain.

Zhong Jinwei never mentioned Yuan Keli at all, he didn't even know the existence of Yuan Keli.

Because Yuan Keli was in the original history, after he became an official in the last year of Tianqi, he never came out of the mountain until his death in the sixth year of Chongzhen.Moreover, the Qing Dynasty banned the collection of poems, works, and biographies about Yuan Keli, so that people in later generations rarely heard of Yuan Keli's deeds. A special proof is that there is not even a post bar.

Yuan Keli didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng had lied to him. He thought that Lu Xiangsheng was also Zhong Jinwei's confidant, and his words should be credible.

Yuan Keli pondered for a moment, and then said to Lu Xiangsheng: "It should be enough for Kai Yang to be the governor of Jiliao, why do you want me to be the governor of Liaodong?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard Yuan Keli's question about this matter, he knew that he had changed his mind and wanted to leave the mountain, so he explained to him in detail: "Guan Ning's front line has not made any actual contributions in the past few years, but it has made the local generals of Liaodong become big. As far as the Zu family is concerned, Zu Dashou, Zu Dale, Zu Zerun, Zu Zepu, Zu Zehong, Zu Zeqing, Zu Kefa, Zu Kuan, etc. are the commanders, deputy generals, and generals of Guanning. He took the post and controlled the Guanning army. Sun Ge wanted to serve as the governor of Liaodong, and left the town of Ningyuan Jinzhou. Ge Lao himself guarded the Shanhaiguan Pass, and also took charge of the front line of Jizhen, strengthening the defense, so as not to give the Jianlu another chance to attack the pass.”

When Lu Xiangsheng said this, he sat up straight and said earnestly: "Sun Ge always said that he hopes to join hands with Shaobao to wipe out the Jian captives in his lifetime, and restore the peace in the northeast of Ming Dynasty. I also hope that Shaobao will work together to fulfill this long-cherished wish. !"

When Yuan Keli heard this, he remembered that he and Sun Chengzong, who was one year younger than himself, had a happy chat with Sun Chengzong in the past.

Yuan Keli also thought of his familiar subordinates who generously sacrificed their lives for Liao affairs, and recalled that he was leisurely cultivating Taoism and caring about himself, and felt a little ashamed. He looked at Lu Xiangsheng, nodded and said: "Okay, I will throw this life away. In Liaodong, we will never stop swearing that we will not destroy Jianlu!"
