Ming: I am fake, walking on thin ice

Chapter 37 I want to reward Tuotuo without spending a lot of money
British government.

At this moment, the garden is full of spring colors and vitality. Flowers of various colors are blooming, red is warm, pink is soft, white is pure, yellow is bright, and the fragrance of flowers drifts in the wind, fresh and pleasant.

Zhang Jingshu, wearing a turquoise long dress, stood among the flowers. She had a perfect oval face, long eyebrows, fair skin, and was elegant and refined. Her jet-black hair fell in the wind, and her neck and shoulders were slightly exposed, showing her beautiful curves.

The girl was so bright and beautiful that the flowers around her pale in comparison.

In such a beautiful scene, a figure suddenly appeared, slashed with a knife, and the sharp knife swept through, breaking the surrounding flowers and plants instantly. A young man stood proudly with a long knife on his shoulder.

"Zhang Lun!" Zhang Jingshu was so angry that her pretty face puffed up like a little bun. "You destroyed my flowers, I will fight you!"

"Don't be so loud, I'm your brother." The young man rolled his eyes, then waved the sword in his hand proudly, "I finally mastered the flaming sword."

Zhang Jingshu put her hands on her waist, opened her bright peach blossom eyes, and shouted towards the room angrily: "Grandpa, my brother destroyed my flowers."

Zhang Lun was about to run away when he heard this. However, a sturdy old man rushed out. It was Duke Yingguo Zhang Fu. He rolled up his sleeves and slapped Zhang Lun on the forehead: "I told you to read the military book, but you didn't. You hold a broken sword every day. How can you carry forward my Duke Yingguo Mansion in the future?"

"Grandpa!" the young man complained, "It's you who didn't let me join the army. Otherwise, I would have been Huo Qubing of the Ming Dynasty."

"Hey, your bragging skills are getting better and better." Zhang Fu waved his hand and hit him, "I can't beat you to death today."

The young man dodged and ran away, and was out of the mansion in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Fu leaned against the pillar and gasped for breath. Zhang Jingshu came to his side and rubbed his back obediently: "Grandpa, you are old, don't hurt your waist."

"Who is old?" Zhang Fu stood up straight, "I can still fight on the battlefield!"

Zhang Jingshu smiled with her lips pursed, looking bright and charming.

……

Zhang Lun left the mansion, carrying a long sword on his shoulder, and walked on the street, muttering in dissatisfaction: "Grandpa won't let me join the army, so can't I go by myself? With my current sword skills, I will definitely be able to kill enemies and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. I have to go find Uncle Qian and ask him to help me."

He went straight to Yu's house. The door was open and there was no servant waiting. He walked in with a knife in his hand. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a young man doing boxing.

The young man had a handsome appearance, but his boxing skills were fierce and domineering. Zhang Lun was eager to try it out. He threw down the knife in his hand, raised his palm and shouted, "Watch this!"

The handsome young man blocked with his fist, and the two fought instantly. For a moment, figures flew, fists whistled, and the surrounding flowers and plants were shaken to fall. After fifty moves, the handsome young man punched Zhang Lun in the stomach, causing him to retreat repeatedly.

"Fists and kicks are not my forte, let's switch to sword fights." Zhang Lun said unconvinced.

"I don't know how to use a knife." The handsome boy smiled, "I'm definitely no match for you."

"You're giving up without even fighting? How boring!" Zhang Lun snorted, seeming a little dissatisfied.

At this time, Yu Qian slowly came from the corridor. He had actually been there for a long time, and when he saw the two fighting, he admired them for a while. He was very satisfied with the martial arts and courage of the two young men.

"Zhang Lun, why are you here in my house?" Yu Qian asked.

"Master Qian, I want to join your army." Zhang Lun waved the knife in his hand, "I want to kill the enemy and make merit."

"Okay!" Yu Qian nodded readily.

Seeing Yu Qian being so straightforward, Zhang Lun became a little skeptical: "Really? Aren't you afraid that my grandfather will cause trouble for you? He won't let me join the army."

Yu Qian spread his hands and said with a smile: "I am the governor of military affairs now, and even your grandfather has to listen to me." "That's great, I can finally join the army." Zhang Lun was overjoyed.

Yu Qian smiled and pointed to the handsome young man beside him and introduced him: "Zhang Lun, this is Yang Guifang, who just came back from Shaolin Temple. He is going to take part in the imperial examination. You two should get to know each other. From now on, you two will be my right-hand men, one of you is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts."

Zhang Lun and Yang Guifang looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They both liked each other.

……

early morning.

Today, the main discussion was about how to deal with the chaos in Mobei. Hearing that Tuotu Buhua was going to fight Yesen, all the ministers were very happy. At least, in the short term, Mobei would not go south to invade Ming.

The generals in the army suggested that the Ming Dynasty send troops to take advantage of the chaos and reap the benefits. However, the civil officials immediately objected, saying that the Ming Dynasty had just gone through two wars and was seriously injured. If they sent troops again? The treasury was already out of money!

The two sides argued endlessly, and spit was flying in the court.

Zhu Qizhen had been playing the role of a mascot, listening to the ministers' reports and the empress dowager's decision. But Yu Shaobao stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think we should fight or not?"

The ministers' eyes finally fell on him, the emperor. Zhu Qizhen turned his head and looked at the empress dowager behind the curtain and asked, "The final decision will be made by the queen mother."

"Your Majesty, the ministers are asking about you." The Queen Mother said calmly.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at his ministers and smiled, "I don't advocate fighting. After two major wars, the treasury is empty, and we don't even know what kind of year this will be. Soldiers can't go to Mobei on an empty stomach and fight the barbarians on the grassland, right?"

The generals in the army were somewhat discouraged after hearing his words. In their view, this was a godsend opportunity, and they had to fight even if they had to tighten their belts. They wanted to destroy the Oirat and Tatars in one battle so that their descendants would not have to fight in the future.

"However, instead of fighting, we will do some sabotage." He smiled slyly, "We are not good at accomplishing anything, but only at doing harm. I have decided to reward Tutubuhua with great fanfare to alienate him and Yesen. Their strengths are not much different, and it will take several years for them to fight to the death in Mobei. By then, we will recover and send troops again."

"What a great plan!" Zhang Fu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this plan of yours is better than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses."

Zhu Qizhen: “!!!”

Why do I feel like you are mocking me again? But I have no evidence.

"I also think this plan is feasible!" Yu Qian bowed behind the curtain, "Please let the Queen Mother decide."

There was silence behind the curtain for a while, and then the Queen Mother's cold voice came: "Approved! Your Majesty has made great progress, and I am very pleased."

After saying this, she stood up and left, her face looking terribly gloomy because she was worried about her son in Mobei. The war between Tutubuhua and Yesen would make her son's fate uncertain.

"We have to send people to Mobei!" she decided secretly.

But many people flashed through her mind, and she felt that none of them were suitable. The person who went to Mobei had to be completely trustworthy.

"Empress Dowager, Xu Bin, the Junior Secretary of the Taichang Temple, requests to see you." The palace maid Shuangxi came to report.

"Xu Bin?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly.
