"General Su, Daozhang Chen is not to blame for this matter."
Xia Bangxing could only come out to intercede. Chen Guanyu was his introducer. When he was punished by his superiors, it would be too unkind if he didn't say something. However, when he said the words, he was shocked again. If this happened
If you don’t blame Chen Guanyu, then who should you blame? Blame Su Hao, it doesn’t seem to make sense, blame the fortune teller, isn’t this a slap in the face?
Su Hao is also a person who doesn't understand the style. When Xia Bangxing said this, he immediately asked: "Mr. Xia, did you say this at the first time?"
Am I mistaken? I just said a polite word! Xia Bangxing greeted Su Hao's family in his heart, but he could only smile bitterly on his face and said: "What the student means is that Daochang Chen conveyed to my prince that Su Hao
General, but this matter is too unbelievable, how can my prince believe it?"
"Well, Mr. Xia, with all due respect, if Tatars want to get rid of poverty and become rich, the key is for the leaders to change their ideological concepts and have new thinking. They cannot rely on past experience and rest on their laurels." Su Haoyu said to Xia Bangxing earnestly, as
For a time-traveler from a later generation, this kind of Mandarin is too familiar to him.
"Getting rid of poverty and getting rich...new thinking..., General Su, I'm sorry for my students' stupidity. I've been away from the Central Plains for a long time. I don't know what General Su is referring to." Xia Bangxing was completely defeated by Su Hao. Su Hao's words sounded so high-end and classy.
, but he just couldn’t understand it, let alone how to refute it. This was really depressing.
"Well, let me ask a great scholar of the time to explain these principles to you." Su Hao saw that Xia Bangxing still had a bit of a literary temperament, and had an idea. He remembered that his staff Li Zhi was here. To deal with this kind of literature and art...
In middle age, Li Zhi is probably more experienced than him.
Su Hao gave an order. Not long after, Li Zhi, whose pseudonym was Lin Zhi, was invited out of the backyard. Su Hao asked someone to give up his seat to Li Zhi, so that he was face to face with Xia Bangxing, making it easier to talk.
"Student Xia Bangxing, please ask sir..." Xia Bangxing saw an old man with an elegant face. He quickly stood up and saluted. Halfway through his words, he saw that the other person looked at him in a strange way, and his subsequent words were temporarily halted.
.
"Are you...Xia Shangzhong?" Li Zhi pointed at Xia Bangxing and asked uncertainly.
Shangzhong is the name of Xia Bangxing. Among the Tatars, it is not fashionable for everyone to call each other by the first name, so Xia Bangxing feels a little unfamiliar with his own name. When he came to Luyuguan, he only introduced his first name.
There was no introduction word. Who would have thought that the old man in front of me could actually call out his own words.
"Sir... I dare to ask..." Xia Bangxing stood up subconsciously and stammered. He had a doubt in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
Li Zhi stood up and walked to Xia Bangxing. He took Xia Bangxing's hand and said excitedly: "Shang Zhong, you are still alive. It's so hard for me to find you!"
"Sir, Mr. Li!" Xia Bangxing finally recognized the disguised Li Zhi. Tears filled his eyes and he knelt down with a plop on the ground. He kowtowed to Li Zhi repeatedly.
"Get up and tell me how you have lived these years... By the way, it turns out you went to live with the Tatars. No wonder..." Li Zhi also looked very excited and was trembling a little when he spoke.
.
Uh... Isn't this too bloody? Su Hao, Chen Guanyu and others were watching this scene, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
The old man, the middle man, and the middle man exchanged some words of separation before Li Zhi turned around and briefly told Su Hao about Xia Bangxing's situation.
It turned out that Xia Bangxing was originally Li Zhi's student, and later became a secretary, which means personal secretary, by Li Zhi's side. Li Zhi was a fair official and offended many people, and eventually ended up dismissing his official position and returning to his hometown. Xia Bangxing
As a person close to Li Zhi, he blocked a lot of things for Li Zhi. The imperial court's Metropolitan Procuratorate pursued him closely, intending to put him to death and cut off one of Li Zhi's arms. Xia Bangxing had no choice but to abandon his official position and fled without trace.
.
Over the years, every time Li Zhi thought about Xia Bangxing, he felt sorry for this promising young man, thinking that he had caused Xia Bangxing to be harmed. Since he could not hear any news about Xia Bangxing, he always thought that Xia Bangxing had died at the hands of his enemies, but unexpectedly...
Here we meet again in this way.
"After the student abandoned his official position, he was hunted down by several evil gentry in the Yao'an Mansion, and he had to flee to the end of the world. He went to the Tatar tribe. He had been obeying orders under the command of Lord Bu Shitu all these years, and he was just hanging on, like a zombie."
Xia Bangxing said to Li Zhi, with a look of shame on his face.
Is there such a happy walking dead as you? Su Hao secretly said contemptuously in his heart, as a Han, but he came here to fight for the interests of the Tatars, isn't this the legendary traitor?
Xia Bangxing saw what they were thinking from everyone's faces and quickly explained: "General Su and everyone, please don't misunderstand me. The students have always hoped that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars would stop, so as to avoid the loss of life. When we were in Qinghai
, the students more than once dissuaded Prince Bu Shitu from invading the various guard posts in Xining. This time, Prince Bu Shitu responded to Ji Litu’s invitation and wanted to harm General Su, and the students also tried their best to dissuade him. Taoist priest Chen can testify to this."
"This... the trail can indeed prove it." Chen Guanyu stepped forward, "Mr.
Speaking in front of Prince Shitu is still very effective."
Xia Bangxing cast a grateful look at Chen Guanyu, and secretly promised Chen Guanyu money and countless beauties in return. He turned to face Li Zhi and asked: "Sir, when the student was in Qinghai,
I once heard that Jinyiwei went to Macheng to arrest you, but you were halfway..."
The rumor Xia Bangxing heard was of course that Li Zhi died of illness on the way. This was a trap set by Su Hao and others for Jin Yiwei. Although Jin Yiwei saw through it, they did not dare to tell it, so they spread the rumors and really said that Li Zhi died of illness. Xia Bangxing
When I first heard the news, I cried for several nights. Who would have thought that we could see Li Zhi alive here today.
Li Zhi knew that Xia Bangxing was extremely loyal to him, so he did not hide it and briefly introduced to Xia Bangxing how Su Hao had rescued him. After hearing this, Xia Bangxing stood up, gathered his clothes, and told Su Hao solemnly.
He kowtowed a few times. He was not acting as the envoy of Lost Rabbit, but as a student of Li Zhi. Su Hao could afford to kowtow to him.
"Shangzhong, now everyone is one of our own, tell me, what does the lost rabbit mean now?"
After some pleasantries, Li Zhi brought the topic back to the current matter and asked Xia Bangxing.
Xia Bangxing blushed, obviously not adapting to his current status. Bu Shitu treated him with kindness, so it was not convenient for him to betray Bu Shitu. But the person in front of him was his teacher, and he also showed great kindness, so he asked again
To put on airs and refuse to tell the truth is to deceive one's master and destroy one's ancestors.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Bangxing said: "Sir, General Su, I will tell you the truth. Prince Bu Shitu no longer wants to be an enemy of the Ming army. He sincerely wants to make peace with General Su."
"What about the conditions?" Li Zhi asked, "I mean, what is his bottom line?"
"Uh..." Su Hao interrupted Li Zhi, "Mr. Li, Mr. Xia also has his difficulties. Don't make it difficult for him to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor."
"This...this..." Xia Bangxing was so choked that his neck felt thick, and the embarrassed expression on his face made Su Hao feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
“Mr.
Xia Bangxing found a step.
Xia Bangxing said quickly: "How to reconcile, please give me advice from General Su."
Su Hao said: "What I said before is true. We do not want to invade the Tatar land and interests. On the contrary, we sincerely intend to jointly develop the grassland with the Tatars. In fact, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Tatars, thousands of years have passed.
In the years of war and peace, we have already been one among you, one among us, and we belong to the same Chinese nation. Why do we have to fight with each other?
The Ming Dynasty developed industrial agriculture, and the Tatars developed animal husbandry. We all exchanged what we needed and prospered together. What's wrong with that? At that time, Anda Khan and the Ming Dynasty signed an agreement to non-aggression. This was such a goal. Today we are just setting this goal down again.
It’s just a matter of practice.”
"What I said is quite grand. In fact, there are Tatars in the Ming Dynasty. They intermarried with the Han people, and their blood has long been integrated. There are also Han people in the Tatar territory... Shangzhong, aren't you one of them? The Ming Dynasty and the Tatars
The Tatars are not two incompatible families, and developing together with the Ming Dynasty is the way for the Tatars to survive." Li Zhi said while beating a drum.
Xia Bangxing said: "Sir, General Su, forgive the students for being suspicious. The Ming Dynasty has a large population and strong strength. If it penetrates into the Tatar territory, if something happens in the future, I am afraid that the Tatars will not be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty. Although the students are Han people, these
I have lived with the Tatars for many years, and I feel that they are also kind-hearted people, so I really can’t bear to put them in a desperate situation because of the students’ mistakes.”
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Shang Zhong has some compassion for heaven and earth, and I feel very relieved. However, think about it, our country, China, has never bullied or tortured foreigners regardless of its rise or fall. Those massacres of cities have always been caused by foreigners.
So, what do you have to worry about?
You have never seen the firearms invented by Gai. To put it bluntly, with these firearms, the Ming Dynasty wants to occupy the Tatar territory, and the Tatars can't stop it. Now we hope that the two sides can coexist peacefully, not begging,
It’s about showing kindness, you have to explain this clearly to the lost rabbit in this section.”
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Su Hao secretly laughed in his heart: Old sir, you are a great scholar of the world that I solemnly recommend. Can't you speak more tactfully? Such a murderous threat is not what someone who has read the books of sages should do.
Said.
No matter what Su Hao thought, Li Zhi's words stirred up waves in Xia Bangxing's heart.
PS: The second update is here. The good news is that Chengzi has decided to change his ways. As long as he has free time today, he will definitely code. However, the bad news is: Chengzi will have meetings in the afternoon and evening...
