Chapter 1093 Thank You Majesty Long En
Xiao Ruxun angrily scolded Mao Wenlong, scolding Mao Wenlong with anger.

Then Mao Wenlong turned around and lay down in front of Xiao Ruxun, and said loudly: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Your Majesty, please punish me!"

"Punishment? With what punishment? You made a great contribution, you beheaded the leader of the slaves, I want to reward you, what should I use to punish you? I said, you didn't make a mistake, what you did was right! You let me How to punish your sin?"

Mao Wenlong couldn't say a word.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xiao Ruxun stopped threatening him, paused, and asked again: "Mao Wenlong, I heard that you are from Hangzhou?"

"……Yes."

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied.

"Hangzhou, a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, has raised countless gentle and moist scholars. How can you be so unscrupulous as a hob, how can you be raised by Hangzhou? This common saying is good, one side of the water and soil raises the other side, your behavior style, and The water and soil in Hangzhou are completely different.”

Xiao Ruxun walked back to the seat and sat down while talking.

"Chen...Although I grew up in Hangzhou, my ancestral home is Pingyang, Shanxi, and my behavior is very different from Jiangnan. My grandfather moved to Hangzhou because of business needs."

"Oh, that's it. That's no wonder. Shanxi and Pingyang. A few years ago, I fought in Shanxi. Together with the northern captives, I passed through Pingyang and fought a battle in Pingyang."

Xiao Ruxun recalled the past for a while, and then asked again: "I heard that you have read the Four Books and Five Classics, and also passed the imperial examination?"

"Yes, I got advice from my uncle Shen Guangzuo when I was young, so I was able to study under Shen's family and prepare to raise my son's career. However, when I was young, I was very bad at playing games. I loved military books and hated raising my son's career, so I haven't been able to get fame."

"Shen Guangzuo? Isn't this my Shuntian Fu Yin? Why has he never mentioned your name to me?"

Xiao Ruxun immediately thought of Shen Guangzuo, Yin of Shuntian Mansion. He was from Hangzhou. During the Northern Expedition, like Li Tingji, he fled back to his hometown with oil on his feet.

His family was in a good family, and it was very comfortable to take refuge in Hangzhou, but when the Northern Expedition army came to Hangzhou, he immediately abandoned his family business and took his whole family to Nanjing to find Xiao Ruxun's life.

Afterwards, this person followed Xiao Ruxun to the Northern Expedition all the way to the capital, and then together they made a petition to invite Xiao Ruxun to ascend the throne as emperor.

Later, because of his qualifications in the Ming court, Shen Guangzuo was appointed as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. He is currently assisting Li Tingji in handling horse affairs. He has done a good job. He was given a piece of land in the capital. It seems that he has forgotten his ancestral business in Hangzhou and changed to the capital. It would be interesting to start all over again.

It's just that Xiao Ruxun didn't know that this person was actually Mao Wenlong's uncle.

"The one who promised to let my minister join the army in Hangzhou is my uncle."

Mao Wenlong said.

"Oh? What else?"

"Yes, because I don't like reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and I didn't make any progress in my career. My uncle didn't like me very much. Before the army arrived in Hangzhou, my uncle suddenly said to me, "You don't like reading, so go join the army. Opportunity." It’s right in front of you, let’s see if you can grasp it.”

Then I left some money for the minister, and left with the whole family by himself. It was only after joining the army that the minister found out that his uncle's family had actually gone to Nanjing to join His Majesty. "

Mao Wenlong honestly explained his relationship with Shen Guangzuo.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and then said: "This time the imperial court is using troops against the southwest, and you have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, do you know the main points of the imperial court's using troops?"

Mao Wenlong raised his head, looked at Xiao Ruxun, then lowered his head again.

"Your Majesty's words about using troops in the southwest, are you talking about the four major chieftains in Guizhou, An Song Tian Yang?"

"Yes, An Song Tianyang, do you understand?"

Mao Wenlong nodded.

"When I was young, I stayed at my uncle's house. I heard that local merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou bought wood, minerals and lacquer from Southwest chieftains. These four houses were the most numerous."

"Oh!"

Xiao Ruxun figured out the relationship here: "I decided to use troops against them, eliminate their threat to the central government, and thoroughly implement the policy of reforming natives and returning locals."

Mao Wenlong was a little surprised.

"What Your Majesty said is that the four chieftains of An, Song, Tian and Yang will not let any of them go?"

"Yes, none of them will be spared."

Xiao Ruxun's eyes flashed sharply: "It's all the land of the Great Qin, how can we tolerate the existence of the emperor who is not controlled by the central government? They all have tens of thousands of soldiers, making it difficult for me to sleep and eat! How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch? The land of the Great Qin Above all, I do not allow forces that do not obey orders to exist."

Mao Wenlong swallowed.

"Even if I live in Hangzhou, I know that the four chieftains are very powerful. If the four chieftains unite, I'm afraid they can mobilize no less than 20 soldiers and horses. It's not so delicious. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"20? Hmph, I think 30 is enough!"

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath: "But the more this is the case, the more I can't tolerate them. In the whole world, is it the king's land, the shore of the land, or the king's subjects? I don't like any land in the Great Qin that I don't control. It exists, and if it exists, take it."

Mao Wenlong swallowed again.

The strength of His Majesty today is rare in ancient and modern times. I am afraid that only the Taizu of the previous dynasty and Qin Shihuang can be compared.

"But how can the 30 native soldiers be eliminated?"

Mao Wenlong didn't understand where the emperor's confidence came from.

Xiao Ruxun looked at Mao Wenlong and suddenly smiled.

"Don't you kid like to grab credit? I will give you this credit. If you can figure out a way, I will let you lead troops to attack the southwest, how about it?"

Mao Wenlong was startled, and looked up at Xiao Ruxun: "Your Majesty's words are true?"

"You have no jokes."

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"Chen... I'm not without ideas!"

Mao Wenlong couldn't resist the temptation of great military exploits, and immediately said: "From my point of view, if the four major chieftains are united, they are of course a giant, which is very difficult to deal with, but each of the four major chieftains has its own contradictions. There is also a feud between them, and now that the Yang family has escaped, His Majesty can issue an imperial decree to let the other three families unite to eliminate the Yang family, and adopt the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves."

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Ruxun very excitedly.

Xiao Ruxun picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a breath, and took a sip of tea slowly.

"As long as you know how to drive tigers and swallow wolves, they don't know how to speak? Do you think these chieftains are illiterate savages? They read as much as you do! They know as much as you do, and they know no less allusions than you. Don’t think that people with the word “earth” in their names are very earthy, from Tang to Ming, they can survive in the cracks for hundreds of years, even if they are pigs, they are still fine pigs!”

Mao Wenlong blinked his eyes, as if he was stunned by the words, unable to speak.

"And if I can mobilize them to swallow Yang's family and kill each other with an imperial decree, why should I mobilize an army to attack them? Do you really think that my imperial decree can be rampant and unimpeded? If the imperial decree can be done, what do you need the army for? what are you doing?"

Xiao Ruxun put down the tea bowl, stood up, and looked at Mao Wenlong very dissatisfied: "The military and state affairs, the place of life and death, and the way of survival are just like child's play by you. If the problem can be solved so easily, the civil and military peace of the Ming and Manchu dynasties Will the brains under my command fail to think of a solution? Do you think they are all fools? Or are you saying that I am a fool?"

Mao Wenlong came back to his senses in a jerk, and quickly bent down to apologize.

"The minister is terrified, the minister made a slip of the tongue!"

"A mind full of small cleverness and great wisdom? Why can't I see it? If you want to do big things, how can you not have great wisdom? You look down on your colleagues and think they are cumbersome, and you can accomplish things by yourself. Five thousand remnants! But now, the four major chieftains, 30 soldiers, you alone, how to solve it?"

Being scolded by Xiao Ruxun, Mao Wenlong knelt on the ground and couldn't say a word, his body was still trembling.

"No matter how strong a person's force is, no matter how elite an army is, he will always be powerless in the face of an enemy that is several times his own. If he doesn't know how to coordinate with his companions to fight together and share the pressure, he will definitely be defeated. There is no need for an army to be lonely. hero!"

Xiao Ruxun went to Mao Wenlong and scolded him angrily.

Mao Wenlong hurriedly said: "I made a slip of the tongue! I am guilty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Come on!"

Xiao Ruxun ignored him: "Mao Wenlong uttered wild words, disrespectful in front of the imperial court, and was disrespectful. He was punished for [-] years with a stick, dismissed from military posts, and sent to Wuchang Mansion Xuanwu Battalion Chief General Zheng Ying to listen to him!"

Mao Wenlong turned pale with fright and hurriedly begged for mercy, but the guards outside the temple rushed in immediately and dragged him away without waiting for forgiveness.

While being pulled, Mao Wenlong begged for mercy, but suddenly, as if he had figured something out, he stopped begging for mercy and struggled, and instead showed surprise.

"Chen Mao Wenlong! Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!!!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ruxun picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
