Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 217 The Three-Year Covenant
After turning around and returning to his tent, someone from below came to report, saying that it was the governor of the three sides, Qin Hong, who asked to see him.

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect Qin Hong to come so quickly, so he smiled and said, "Master Qin, please come in!"

After the messenger left, Wang Shouren said: "It seems that our Master Qin is really anxious to wait." After saying this, Wang Shouren laughed himself first, obviously feeling that he was too narrow-minded. .

But Zhu Houzhao didn't smile, instead he sighed softly, and said with some emotion: "Qin Hong is nearly eighty years old, and he is defending the border for the country in the northwest. Three years ago, I promised him that there would be a war in the northwest after three years. And it was Ben Gong who personally led the army here, if three years have passed, and Ben Gong comes, it can be considered that he has not broken his promise to the pillar of the country."

When Wang Shouren heard this, his face became serious, and he sighed: "If all the courtiers in the world have such a heart to serve the country, why worry about the Ming Dynasty's prosperity."

Glancing at Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Although Qin Hong is old, we are still young. If this Ming Dynasty is in our hands, it will definitely become more prosperous. The war has begun. I want everyone in the palace to know that starting today, Da Ming and the Tartars have reversed their offense and defense. From now on, wherever the Tartars can go, I, Da Ming, can go too. Kou can go, and I can go too. "

Wang Shouren looked at the high-spirited Highness the Crown Prince, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of arrogance in his heart, and said with a smile, "I would like to be your highness' Huo Huoqi."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately: "Huo Hussar? I think you are more suitable to be Wei Qing!"

Huo Hussar is Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing's evaluation is naturally very high, he was named the champion, but he died young, which is not a good sign, but Wei Qing's first expedition was a surprise attack on Dragon City, which opened the prelude to turning defeat into victory in the Han-Hungarian War. He once won seven battles and seven victories, recovered the Heshuo and Hetao areas, and defeated Shanyu.Wei Qing is good at supporting war with war, dares to go deep when using troops, has strict orders as a general, loves and cares for soldiers, is generous and courteous to his colleagues, and is an extremely personable minister without establishing personal authority.

This is also Zhu Houzhao's expectation for Wang Shouren. After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Shouren bowed quickly and said, "I will die after I have dedicated myself to death."

The rating is Wei Qing, which is not a low status, and Wang Shouren obviously knows his position in the heart of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Of course, this is not what Zhu Houzhao said to buy people's hearts. In fact, Zhu Houzhao has higher expectations for Wang Shouren. Wei Qing is a famous general, and Zhu Houzhao wants to train Wang Shouren into a civil and military saint.In terms of knowledge, Zhu Houzhao hoped that Wang Shouren would reform Confucianism and produce a theory that was more conducive to the expansion of the relationship, and at the same time sweep away the dross of Confucianism.

In comparison, Confucianism in the Han and Tang Dynasties was very good. Confucian scholars held a three-foot Qingfeng sword and dared to kill people. What they yearned for was Ban Dingyuan.

What Zhu Houzhao wanted was the arrogance of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The poet Li He once wrote a poem: "Why don't men wear Wu hooks and collect fifty states in Guanshan. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar with thousands of households?", this kind of The yearning for military exploits and the desire for external expansion are definitely the temperament that a powerful country in this era needs to have. Zhu Houzhao hopes that Wang Shouren can bring it out.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shoureneng had finished speaking, Qin Hong brought a person in from the outside. Seeing Qin Hong, Zhu Houzhao hurried up to greet him.

Qin Hong didn't have time to see the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao went up and grabbed Qin Hong, looked Qin Hong up and down, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Before I came, I was still worried. Today I saw Qin Qing's body. Kangtai, Bengong breathed a sigh of relief, for the past three years, Bengong has been thinking about Northwest and Qin Qing all the time."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Qin Hong's eye circles were also a little red, and he said emotionally: "In the past three years, I have been thinking about His Highness all the time, and I have been looking forward to my soldiers coming tomorrow."

Liao Fan who was standing on the side did not expect Qin Hong and His Royal Highness to have such a deep relationship, he felt a little envious, but also yearning, he had to work hard, and there would be such a day in the future.

"Your Highness, this is Liao Fan, the prefect of Guyuan!" Qin Hong naturally did not forget Liao Fan who came with him.

Hearing Qin Hong's introduction, Liao Fan hurriedly took a step forward, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty Liao Fan, the prefect of Guyuan, sees His Highness the Crown Prince."

Glancing at Liao Fan, Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, and said, "In the military camp, there is no need to be so polite, so let's be free!"

When Liao Fan stood up, Qin Hong introduced: "Your Highness, Liao Fan is a capable official. I have been in Guyuan for the past few years. Thanks to Liao Fan, otherwise I am afraid that my body will not be able to withstand it long ago. Fan Liao Fan can handle the matters that I have given you, he is a rare talent, and today I am sending a talent here for His Highness."

Liao Fan on the side heard this and almost wobbled excitedly. Looking at the relationship between Qin Hong and His Highness the Crown Prince, these words are very useful.

Qin Hong spoke frankly and was not suspected of forming a party for personal gain. In addition, Qin Hong will be 80 years old this year, and this person will not have a good life for a few years. These words should be sincere.Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately: "To get Qin Qing's praise, I think he is a capable person. Such a successful person should be reused. I will remonstrate with my father when I go back."

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to reuse Liao Fan on the spot, because he didn't know Liao Fan. Although he knew Qin Hong, who knew whether Qin Hong had been deceived, he had better find out.

In addition, it is also because of the violation of the rules. Now Zhu Houzhao, the prince, controls the Beijing camp and leads troops outside. There are some things that need to be avoided.

"Qin Qing, let's talk inside!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and pulled Qin Hong inside, and at the same time changed the topic.

Qin Hong naturally knew how to measure, said what should be said, and the rest should not be said, Qin Hong naturally would not say it.

A group of people entered the handsome tent, and the guests and hosts were seated. Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Qin Qing, along the way, the Northwest is very different from three years ago. People's hearts are stable and the city is stable. Compared with three years ago, It can be described as an earth-shaking change, Qin Qing told me to listen to it!" Zhu Houzhao looked looking forward to it.

Subordinates of course hope that their leaders can listen to their own achievements, and Qin Hong is no exception to this point. Qin Hong then began to introduce what he had done in the Northwest in recent years.

Although there was no lack of modest words in the words, there was still a sense of complacency in the demeanor. It was obvious that Qin Hong was very satisfied with his performance.Zhu Houzhao agrees with this point, he is also very satisfied with Qin Hong's performance, and even the court is also very satisfied with Qin Hong's performance.
