The sky had just brightened!
Xu Hongji was awake!
The cold floor was uncomfortable no matter how she slept!
At this moment, he suddenly regretted it!
If he hadn't come to the government office, he wouldn't have met the " black man " with the wooden sword. If he hadn't met the " black man " with the wooden sword, he would probably be hugging the Indian princess and doing some morning exercises!
"Hei brat, wake up!"
After a night of passive calmness, Xu Hongji knew that the " black man " sleeping soundly in the court had no intention of killing him!
One of their own!
"Get lost!"
Sun Chuanting's beautiful dream was disturbed. He was full of anger when he woke up. When he heard the words " Black Boy," his anger exploded!
A flying kick!
However, the commander flew far away once again, his butt rubbing against the floor. He grimaced in pain!
I will remember this grudge!
Moving to the entrance of the government office, Xu Hongji narrowed his eyes and looked at the sunrise. His heart inexplicably calmed down. It had been ten years since he last watched the sunrise like this!
The son of the Duke!
On the surface, he looked glorious, but behind his back, he was really tired!
"Grass cake, are you used to it?"
Sun Chuanting couldn't fall asleep. He took out two cakes mixed with grass and flour from his pocket and threw one to him. As he ate, he asked,"Where did you get your Kung Fu from?"
With his hands tied, Xu Hongji could only bite the grass cake and swallow it piece by piece. He felt bitter in his mouth and said unhappily,"Of course I trained it!"
"You're a dignified Duke, resting with the country, and you still practice martial arts?”
"Nonsense, my ancestor was a martial artist. He helped Taizu slash out the Great Ming with a knife and a sword. As a junior, although his martial arts are shallow, he still has the ability to mount a horse and fight!”
"It's fair and clean. It doesn't look like it!”
"Then you are?"
Xu Hongji glanced at him and sneered,""He's a dignified town and looks like a black coal ball in the ground. How can he have the demeanor of a top scholar?”
Under the sunlight, Xu Hongji saw the face of the person who had ambushed him last night. He was shocked and couldn't help but laugh out loud!
Sun Chuanting, the top scorer in the 47th year of Wanli, could be said to be a handsome man, but his dark skin was not handsome at all!
As the saying goes, one white covers a hundred ugliness, one black destroys everything!
This was a classic example!
"Hehe, I'll throw you into the desert and let you sleep in the wind for two months!”
"His Majesty sent you here to be an official. What are you doing in the desert?”
Xu Hongji knew the secrets of Datong Town. He rolled his eyes and said,"The kid from the Eastwoods Faction is trying to keep up appearances here. He almost died of exhaustion!”
"I followed the Jin merchant caravan for two months and took advantage of the opportunity to earn two taels of silver!”
An irregular piece of silver was thrown into the air and then caught. It had a faint metallic luster. Xu Hongji stared at it in disbelief and said,"Earning money from Jin merchants, you are really a genius!”
"I have always been!"
Sun Chuanting revealed his two white front teeth and raised his head."How can a 26-year-old top scorer not be a genius?”
"Heh, I'm still a twenty-five-year-old Duke!”Xu Hongji sneered.
"You've been stripped of your title!"
“……”
Xu Hongji gritted his teeth and said hatefully,""I'm the 27-year-old commander of the Shanxi army. I'm your superior. Hurry up and untie me!”
"Don't come at midnight in the future! Come through the main entrance!"
The rope fell to the ground, and both parties let bygones be bygones!
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come!"
Xu Hongji exercised his sore wrist and said,""Tell me, what did you get from following the Jin merchant caravan for two months?”
"Does earning two taels of silver count?"
"Get lost!"
"Does the letter between Qiao Youwei, the head of the Jin merchants, and Nurhachi, the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, count?”
"Where is the letter?"
"In the hands of Shi Kefa!"
"I'll go mobilize the troops!"
Xu Hongji stood up and said coldly,""Treason with the enemy, exterminate your entire family!"
"Commander, be steady!"
Sun Chuanting pulled him back to the threshold and enjoyed the warm sunlight. He said speechlessly,"It's been two months. Don't you know that the Jin merchants have infiltrated Shanxi?
By the time you're done mobilizing your troops, the Jin merchants will have already received the news. What do you plan to do when the Jin merchants make a move?”
"uproot them!"
"Dream on! The Jin merchants had bought one-third of the land in Shanxi, which meant that one-third of the tenants and people in Shanxi were surnamed Jin. If you dared to use force, it would incite a civil revolt. Did the commander think that the tens of thousands of soldiers who had been seriously corrupted by the Jin merchants could resist the surging public opinion?”
"The Imperial Court…"
"Not to mention the Imperial Court, the war between the Great Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Dynasty is currently in full swing. This place is less than eight hundred li away from the capital. If there is a rebellion, His Majesty and the cabinet will be the first to kill you!”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Xu Hongji was a little unhappy. Facing a traitor, he could do nothing even though he had a large army in his hands. It was too frustrating!
"Do you have any means to directly bypass the cabinet and report to His Majesty?”Sun Chuanting asked.
Normally speaking, the local commander had to pass the information to the emperor through the cabinet!
However, Xu Hongji was previously a Duke, so he should be different from ordinary commander-in-chief. Perhaps he could directly pass the information to the Emperor!
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, Xu Hongji said proudly,""Although I was stripped of my title, my mother was a first-grade madam during the Wanli period and was allowed to enter and leave the palace freely to meet His Majesty!”
"Since that's the case, write a 'letter home' and describe the situation here in detail. Send it to His Majesty through the palace and request that His Majesty directly send the four guards of Tengxiang to Shanxi to kill the traitors!”
Sun Chuanting did not trust the local guards. Only the four guards of Tengxiang could be trusted without reservation!
"The Four Tengxiang Guards are His Majesty's personal troops. They won't move unless the Emperor personally goes out. This request isn't easy!”
Xu Hongji was a little hesitant. Ever since Emperor Mingying personally led his troops to attack Wasi and was captured, the Ming Emperor had almost never left the capital city protected by the four guards of Tengxiang!
"It doesn't matter if the Four Tengxiang Guards can come or not. We have to try first. After His Majesty sees the danger of the Jin merchants, he will definitely not tolerate it. Even if the Four Tengxiang Guards don't make a move, there will be a solution!”
Sun Chuanting shrugged and exchanged glances with the commander. Suddenly, the commander understood!
That's right, as long as they handed in the memorial, explaining the power and solution, they would throw the problem to the Emperor. Even if there were problems in the future, the two of them would not be too responsible!
"The brain of the top scorer is still good!"
Xu Hongji sighed and ran back to the General's Office to write a " letter "!
