Chapter 158: Don't Expose Shortcomings When Scolding People, Why Scold People?

I Truly Do Not Attend to Proper Duties: Chapter 168, Don't Expose Shortcomings When Scolding People, Why Scold People? Zhou Zhou Liangyin never expected that the Great Ming's Tan Sima would take them to Daning Guard and then stop!

Leaving Zhou Zhou Liangyin and other censors to face Li Li Chengliang alone!

Everyone knows that Qi Qi Jiguang is easy to bully. Qi Qi Jiguang has always been like that, with a very good temper. For the sake of the overall situation, he doesn't fight back when hit or scold back when scolded. Since Qi Qi Jiguang pacified the Japanese pirates, how many memorials have impeached General Qi? Has General Qi taken them seriously? Qi Qi Jiguang didn't even intend to pursue the few Beijing Camp company commanders who bumped into him. His sword was always aimed outward, never inward.

Therefore, Zhou Zhou Liangyin and other censors were actually not afraid of Qi Qi Jiguang. When they arrived at Daning Guard, although they didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, they still had a bottom line in their hearts, knowing that General Qi wouldn't do anything to this group of empty-talking censors.

But heading to Guangning Guard and then to Liaodong was a huge challenge for them. Tan Lun stopped halfway!

Tan Lun also told the Emperor that he was going to Daning Guard to take a look. No matter how scholars and literati fantasized, if they didn't go to Daning Guard to take a look, everything they talked about would be hypocrisy, and it would lack persuasiveness.

And after seeing it, Tan Lun was even more convinced that this place must be firmly held in the hands of the Great Ming.

Tan Lun looked at the shadows of those censors and said to Qi Qi Jiguang with schadenfreude, "When they get to the north, they will probably suffer a great deal! Li Li Chengliang doesn't have the good temper of General Qi. Look at that kid Li Li Rusong, he even dares to bare his teeth at you."

"Deserved." Qi Qi Jiguang rarely exposed his emotions in front of an old friend. He thought that people like Zhou Zhou Liangyin could be summed up in one word: deserved.

Li Li Rusong brought twelve censors to Guangning Guard. Along the way, Li Li Rusong didn't make things difficult for Zhou Zhou Liangyin and others. After all, they were in General Qi's defense zone, and he didn't want to cause trouble for General Qi. What surprised Li Li Rusong was that he saw his father.

"Father... Regional Commander Li! Beijing Camp Assistant Regional Commander Li Li Rusong meets Regional Commander Li. Today, twelve censors including Zhou Zhou Liangyin have safely arrived at Guangning Guard and officially entered the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Regional Military Commission. Please inspect and sign the documents so that this subordinate can return to the camp to report!" Li Li Rusong straightened his back and handed over the twelve censors including Zhou Zhou Liangyin to Li Li Chengliang outside Guangning City.

Zhou Zhou Liangyin always felt strange, listening as if they were being exiled like criminals!

And Li Li Chengliang let his soldiers inspect them, signed the documents after inspection, handed them to Li Li Rusong, walked a few steps to the side, looked at Li Li Rusong, and was more and more satisfied the more he looked. He said in a low voice, "Eldest son, we still have to return to the camp, so let's keep it short."

"Regional Commander Li, when handling official business, call me Assistant Regional Commander Li!" Li Li Rusong still stood straight and said loudly.

"You've rebelled!" Li Li Chengliang gave Li Li Rusong a kick, using his own words to block him, simply an unfilial son.

"Hehe." Li Li Rusong relaxed a little.

Li Li Chengliang said with emotion, "You fought this battle well, didn't disgrace your father's name. Learn well from General Qi. That man has been cautious all his life. If you can learn three points of caution, the Li family can be considered to have brought honor to their ancestors."

"Wasn't it you, Father, who brought honor to the ancestors?" Li Li Rusong had already determined that the person speaking now was his father, not the Liaodong Regional Commander Li Li Chengliang.

He just felt that his father was speaking strangely. They were all officials of the Great Ming, all working for the Great Ming. How could it be that when he, Li Li Rusong, fought a winning battle, it was bringing honor to the ancestors, but when his father fought a winning battle, it wasn't?

Li Li Chengliang felt a little melancholy and thought for a while before saying, "Where did your father bring honor to the ancestors? It's good enough not to bring shame to them. Why didn't the Tan Sima come to Liaodong? Isn't it because he knows that if he comes, everyone will be embarrassed? So he just didn't come. Liaodong is just a little better than the Northwest Jin Party."

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Just do your job well. Our family is counting on you."

Liaodong has the foundation of becoming a vassal state. All this is the situation caused by the continuous accumulation of many forced choices in a harsh environment. It is difficult to return, and he can only move forward.

For example, last year's Liaodong Provincial Governor Yang Zhao, Liaodong Deputy Regional Commander Zhao Wenze, and Liaodong grain-managing secretary Wang Wang Nian, and this year's Liaodong Censor Liu Tai, were naturally all corrupt and breaking the law, and were caught by Li Li Chengliang, and finally reported to the imperial court for punishment.

But in the eyes of most people, isn't it that he, Li Li Chengliang, is relying on military power to respect himself?

The Jin Party's Yang Zhao, Zhao Wenze, and Wang Wang Nian were at odds with you, Li Li Chengliang, and wanted the imperial court to transfer them away. The Zhang Dang's Censor Liu Tai, you also wanted the imperial court to transfer him away. Isn't this you, Li Li Chengliang, using military merit to threaten the imperial court, not allowing the imperial court to supervise you?

If you look at this problem this way, Li Li Chengliang is a military leader, a vassal state.

Li Li Chengliang's Battle of Pinglu Fort was just wanting to win, and he never thought the imperial court would reward him. But Li Li Rusong fought too well. From the time he went outside the frontier, Li Li Rusong was at the forefront. As the vanguard, he chiseled through the enemy camp in Yingzhou Guard, broke through the city in Daning Guard, and traveled 70 li a day in heavy snow, threatening Quanning Guard.

In the end, Li Li Chengliang still got the world certificate of the Marquis Ningyuan Earl.

Li Li Chengliang said with emotion, "The imperial court is very embarrassed now. The Zhang Dang people are not allowed to enter Liaodong, and the Jin Party people are not allowed to enter Liaodong. Then who will supervise? Only one Zhang Zhang Xueyan is left, and he is unable to support the situation alone. Recently, no one has been sent to Liaodong."

"The Tan Sima said that the imperial court intends to let Hou Hou Yuzhao go to Liaodong as a censor. I don't know if the Tan Sima said it to me by accident or on purpose." Li Li Rusong listened to his father's words, his face full of suspicion, and said.

Tan Lun talked about court affairs in Daning Guard, and naturally mentioned Hou Hou Yuzhao. Li Li Rusong took it as a joke at the time.

Was Tan Lun intentional, or accidental?

"How is Hou Hou Yuzhao?" Li Li Chengliang is not a child like Li Li Rusong. Li Li Chengliang knows too well how muddy the water in the court is. Tan Lun's words, Li Li Chengliang clearly knows, are just a small test.

If Li Li Chengliang is still respectful to the imperial court, he will naturally mention Liu Tai's case. Li Li Rusong, who is responsible for escorting... protecting the twelve censors, will naturally talk about Hou Hou Yuzhao's personnel arrangement, and then it will be logical to ask for Li Li Chengliang's opinion.

If Li Li Chengliang is very proud of driving away Yang Zhao first and then driving away Liu Tai, he will naturally not feel that he has done too much, nor will he talk to his son about the current predicament in Liaodong. Then it will be logical to test out that Li Li Chengliang has made up his mind to be a vassal state, a mountain king.

The imperial court's decision on Liaodong can be considered to have a spectrum.

Li Li Rusong's mouth twitched and said, "As for Hou Hou Yuzhao, he is loyal to the monarch and patriotic!"

"There are still censors in our Great Ming who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic?!" Li Li Chengliang said with great surprise.

"Isn't Hence Hai Rui one?" Li Li Rusong said in a low voice, "I think censors like Zhou Zhou Liangyin are also good. The battle was fought outside the frontier, and it is normal to have doubts. Look, they were also very polite when they arrived at Daning Guard, and they were amazed at the victory of the Beijing Camp and recognized the achievements of the Beijing Camp."

Li Li Chengliang slapped Li Li Rusong on the forehead.

"Father! You hit me again! And you can't beat me! Your son is so big, and you still beat me!" Li Li Rusong was anxious. Why did he get slapped again? It didn't hurt, but it was so embarrassing. The infantry camp following him was all watching!

Now Li Li Rusong is an Assistant Regional Commander of the infantry camp, with more than 3,000 people under his command. He also wants face!

"You are my son. Even if you become a Grand General, I can still beat you!" Li Li Chengliang said earnestly, "Son, you are too young. You don't know that Hence Hai Rui is an exception. Look, when Zhou Zhou Liangyin and this group of censors return to the capital, they will definitely turn their faces. They are honest now because the knife is on their necks and they have to tell the truth. Can you guess what they will do when they return to the capital? They will definitely talk nonsense."

"Really?" Li Li Rusong's expression toward the censors became extremely cold. He believed his father's words, because his father always won battles. In the current situation, if you don't understand politics, you definitely can't win battles!

Li Li Chengliang had suffered this muffled loss. Which military general of the Great Ming hadn't suffered this muffled loss? Li Li Chengliang said in a low voice, "If Zhou Zhou Liangyin turns his face after returning to the capital, from now on, remember, never trust them. Even if you trust the Emperor, at least the Emperor rewards merit and punishes faults."

"If you win, the Emperor really rewards!"

"The child remembers." Li Li Rusong finally agreed. He was not old, and he had seen too little of the thousand faces of the censors.

Zhou Zhou Liangyin and others received inhuman treatment in Liaodong! That's right, inhuman treatment.

Twelve censors, the meals provided by Liaodong every day were two light cakes, hard as rock, difficult to chew, and tasted terrible, without even a piece of meat. That was it, and they didn't even have a mouthful of hot water! They supplemented water with snow in Liaodong.

The censors ate whatever the Liaodong army ate. Li Li Chengliang ate fragrant and spicy food, but actually gave the censors this kind of thing!

And there was no warm pavilion, let alone anyone to serve the censors in changing clothes or washing, which made the censors have great opinions about Li Li Chengliang!

The most critical thing is that Li Li Chengliang used tigers to scare people all day long!

The Liaodong Regional Military Commission of Li Li Chengliang raised three fierce tigers. These censors were handling official business, and these sturdy tigers were napping not far from them. Once these censors spoke nonsense, Li Li Chengliang would really let the tigers raise people.

Since they all thought he, Li Li Chengliang, was a vassal military leader, the old man would just show the style of a military leader and scare this group of people who only knew how to use their tongues and stir up trouble.

Zhou Zhou Liangyin and other censors arrived at Pinglu Fort, looked at the battlefield, inspected the merit of heads, and immediately turned around and returned to the capital without any hesitation. On the way back, the carriages changed from four to one. Twelve censors were squeezed into one carriage, along with their luggage and other items.

Li Li Chengliang's meaning was very clear. The other three carriages fell into the ditch and were broken!

Zhou Zhou Liangyin and others were squeezed into this one carriage all the way to Jia Shanhai Pass, until they entered the territory of the capital, when they changed back to four carriages and sped into the capital.

Twelve censors jointly submitted a memorial, cursing Li Li Chengliang for being harsh to the censors, and also scolded Qi Qi Jiguang, saying that Qi Qi Jiguang was greedy for merit and advanced rashly. The painting in the imperial court stopped at Daning Guard, but Qi Qi Jiguang actually wanted to attack Quanning Guard and capture it, which was a great crime of greed for merit.

Yes, Zhou Zhou Liangyin and others turned their faces.

Li Li Chengliang was indeed harsh to the censors, and also used tigers to scare them. Qi Qi Jiguang did indeed intend to advance rashly and attack Quanning Guard. These were all facts.

Zhu Zhu Yijun received two memorials and sent them to Daning Guard and the Liaodong Regional Military Commission by fast horse, asking the Earl of Qian'an and the Earl of Marquis Ningyuan to submit memorials to explain the situation.

More than ten days later, Li Li Chengliang said that this was exactly what he did.

The military gentlemen were fighting to the death on the front line, while this group of dogs was eating fragrant and spicy food in the back, sitting in the warm pavilion hugging beauties, pointing fingers at the military gentlemen. Giving them light cakes was already out of respect for their status as imperial officials. If they weren't imperial officials, they would have been thrown to the bears to be winter food!

Li Li Chengliang's memorial showed the prestige of a military leader. Then the conversation turned, and he requested the imperial court to send Hou Hou Yuzhao to Liaodong as a censor to be the assistant of Zhang Zhang Xueyan. Liaodong affairs were complicated and couldn't all be pressed on Zhang Zhang Xueyan alone. He also requested the clerks of the Baoqi Division to go to Liaodong to preside over farming, cellars, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other planting guidance.

On one hand, Li Li Chengliang was indeed harsh to the censors, and on the other hand, he requested the censor Hou Hou Yuzhao to go to Liaodong to continue his inspection. This was a gesture that Liaodong was still the imperial court's Liaodong, not his, Li Li Chengliang's, Liaodong.

And Qi Qi Jiguang's memorial of explanation was also very interesting. He admitted that he did intend to attack Quanning Guard, but did not admit that he was greedy for merit and advancing rashly. Translating it, it meant: I can win, so is winning greedy for merit and advancing rashly?

It made a lot of sense and couldn't be refuted. On the battlefield, winning is winning, and speaking is full of confidence.

And Li Li Rusong submitted a memorial cursing Zhou Zhou Liangyin and others as shameless, recorded all their conversations in Daning Guard, sent them to the capital, and deeply exposed the ugly faces of these censors who turned their faces and didn't recognize people, depicting them vividly.

Li Li Rusong was really hateful!

These censors arrived at Daning Guard, and the Beijing Camp served them with good food and drink. The military merit was inspected for them on the battlefield. There was no nonsense on the military merit line, but they questioned the decision-making of the front-line commander. The battlefield changes rapidly, and the opportunity for battle is fleeting. These censors don't fight, and if they lose, it's not them who die, right!

It was all farting, smelly and unbearable.

Li Li Rusong went further and wrote his conversation with his father into the memorial, expressing his attitude, indicating that he had mistakenly thought these censors were good people, and that if these censors went to the front line again, he would definitely entertain them well!

He would definitely send them to the place where the scouts were fighting, to feel the terror and horror of arrows passing by their cheeks!

They were really not things.

Li Li Rusong's attitude toward civil officials was very consistent with the theory of contradictions. Li Li Rusong looked down on civil officials, was educated by Tan Lun, and had a wrong expectation of civil officials. In this inspection of frontier military merit, his understanding of the faces of civil officials finally broke free from contradictions. Of course, there are good people among civil officials, but "cheap scholars" are not people.

This was winning. If they lost, the censors would be harsh to the military generals, and Qi Qi Jiguang, Li Li Chengliang, Li Li Rusong, and others could only suffer this anger.

Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Even the Great Ming's number one fierce general Xu Da was defeated by Northern Yuan in the fifth year of Emperor Hongwu. No one can say they are a general who always wins. Therefore, military generals are naturally at a disadvantage when facing censors.

Because in war, everyone will lose battles.

Zhu Zhu Yijun pulled the 60-jin heavy bow in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly turned toward Zhou Zhou Liangyin who was kneeling on the ground, released the bowstring in his hand, and the arrow whistled and pierced Zhou Zhou Liangyin's black gauze hat. The arrow carried the black gauze hat and nailed it to the ground.

The feathers at the end of the arrow were still trembling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Zhou Zhou Liangyin only heard the whistling sound, felt a chill on his head, knew that his black gauze hat had been shot off, and realized what had happened, trembling and saying.

He was only a hair's breadth away from death. His Majesty's aim was slightly off, otherwise he would have died.

His Majesty really had the intention to kill just now!

The Emperor personally killed someone. Would the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicature, and the Censorate pursue the Emperor? Even if they did, the Emperor would just issue a self-reproach edict. Anyway, he was young.

"Are you afraid of death?" Zhu Zhu Yijun looked at Zhou Zhou Liangyin and asked calmly.

"Afraid!" Zhou Zhou Liangyin finally didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and chose to tell the truth. What immortality after death was all bullshit!

Just now, His Majesty really wanted to kill him. The terror of being one step away from death was truly terrifying. The power of life and death was in His Majesty's hands.

Zhu Zhu Yijun's tone became even more severe, and he said in a low voice, "Everyone is afraid of death, and I am also afraid of death. Otherwise, the tasters wouldn't taste the food. You are a human, are the soldiers of the Great Ming army humans? They are also afraid of death. This time, the Great Ming army lost more than 20 people and more than 2,000 people were frostbitten. Do you know what frostbite is? It's when the feet swell up, are extremely itchy, and make you want to scratch your heart and lungs."

Zhang Zhang Siwei had more than one house in the capital, but on that night, he moved to Wang Wang Chonggu's house!

"I can eat it, why can't you!"

Zhang Hong once made delicious light cakes, not the kind that were hard and difficult to swallow, requiring water to swallow, and was scolded by Zhu Zhu Yijun. He asked him to take military rations. Zhang Hong had no choice but to take the hard-to-eat light cakes for His Majesty. His Majesty said it was for grinding teeth, but everyone knew it was a gesture of sharing weal and woe.

Zhang Hong changed his thinking and made the military rations taste better. Then His Majesty couldn't eat the hard-to-eat light cakes anymore. The cakes had to be fried in oil, and the palm oil from the South Seas was large in quantity and suitable for deep-frying. Once a large amount of palm oil arrived at the port, they could start making new military rations.

Therefore, what Zhu Zhu Yijun eats until now is still the light cakes of the military camp, which are the same as what Zhou Zhou Liangyin eats.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Zhou Zhou Liangyin bowed again. He was really frightened. He didn't know why he didn't follow in the footsteps of Liu Tai and Yu Yu Maoxue, making His Majesty so disgusted, but His Majesty actually gave him a chance to redeem his merit.

Actually, it's very simple, because Liu Tai was secretly colluding with the barbarians, and Yu Yu Maoxue was related to the case of Zeng Guang and He He Xinyin lobbying the tribal chiefs to rebel. Those were all unpardonable crimes.

And the content of Zhou Zhou Liangyin's impeachment of Qi Qi Jiguang and Li Li Chengliang was not hypocrisy, but the truth.

Qi Qi Jiguang did indeed intend to advance into Quanning Guard, and Li Li Chengliang was indeed harsh to the censors. Zhou Zhou Liangyin's crime was not enough to die. Going to Daning Guard to practice reality, truly feel the threat of death, and do things well, he might not be able to become a capable official of the country.

Zhou Zhou Liangyin was already one of the few censors who could impeach and report according to facts.

"Has the Altan Khan's messenger arrived in the capital?" Zhu Zhu Yijun asked about the progress of the peace talks.

Tan Lun also truthfully reported the excessive conditions of the Altan Khan to the imperial court. Everyone knew clearly that nothing could be talked about this time, but talking was necessary.

"Arrived." Zhang Hong bowed and said.

Zhu Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Let the Grand Secretary and Chen Chen Xuehui supervise it."

During the Emperor Hongwu era, the Emperor repeatedly issued edicts to the Northern Yuan Emperor to remove his imperial title. The Yuan Emperor Zhaozong refused and insisted on playing chess with the Emperor, and he played it quite well. The Yuan Emperor Zhaozong, who was far away in the frontier, was one of the few heroes among the grassland masters. He was able to hold on for more than ten years under the Emperor, which was already very strong. Xu Da was defeated by Yuan Emperor Zhaozong.

During the Yongle era, Emperor Emperor Chengzu fought, and it was also stop-and-go, not always fighting. He also enfeoffed the barbarian chief Mahamu of Oirat as the Shunning King.

War is like this. Fighting and talking do not conflict. There are two results for the end of war: one is that one side completely submits to the will of the other, or neither side can do anything to the other, one side loses a little face, and one side loses a little substance.

Peace talks and fighting do not completely conflict. They are also a pair of opposed and unified contradictions.

In the afternoon, Zhu Zhu Yijun went to the Ministry of Rites. He wanted to listen to the content of the peace talks. Imperial peace talks were also a brand-new experience for him.

Wan Wan Shihe, Tan Lun, Chen Chen Xuehui, Xu Jue, and others all arrived. Zhu Zhu Yijun sat down and waited for the start of the peace talks.

"I am a warrior under the Eternal Blue Sky, Buyan, the eldest son of the Khan. I heard that the Emperor of China is only twelve years old, and now the Prime Minister is in power, which is indeed a matter that does not conform to rites. The dignified China does not know etiquette."

"My status is extremely noble. I need someone of equal status to negotiate with me. You let officials and family servants negotiate, which is an insult to me. I want the Emperor to come out and negotiate with me." Buyan stated his first condition unhurriedly. Enfeoffment as a king is impossible. Enfeoffment as a king is surrender. Altan Khan is a traitor who defected to the Central Plains from the grassland and is the shame of the Eternal Blue Sky. Therefore, regarding the imperial court's conditions for enfeoffment as a king, the Altan Khan expressed that it was absolutely impossible.

"Is Altan Khan's reputation on the grassland so bad?" Qi Qi Jiguang looked at this first article and was stunned for a long time. This first article is all about scolding Altan Khan for surrendering. From the perspective of the Great Ming, Altan Khan fought with the Great Ming for so many years and finally achieved his strategic goal—enfeoffment as a king and tribute.

But on the grassland, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Yes, otherwise San San Niangzi wouldn't have come to power, pushing all the dealings with the Great Ming onto San San Niangzi." Tan Lun shook his head and said, "Altan Khan being enfeoffed by the imperial court is seen as Altan Khan's betrayal of the Golden Family."

In the narrative of Altan Khan, the blame for the tribute from the very beginning was all on San San Niangzi, this woman.

There is a key figure in the tribute from Altan, and that is Altan Khan's grandson, Bahandaji.

Altan Khan attacked the Oirat tribe and forcibly married San San Niangzi. The Ordos Ten Battalion Commander said that San San Niangzi had a marriage contract with him and asked Altan Khan to return San San Niangzi. Altan Khan was reluctant and wanted to compensate the Ordos Ten Battalion Commander with the wife of his grandson, Bahandaji.

Bahandaji was naturally unhappy and took his wife to defect to the Great Ming. For the sake of this grandson, Altan Khan had to agree to the imperial court's conditions for enfeoffment as a king.

It's all San San Niangzi, this woman, who is harming the country and the people!

Actually, everyone knows it well. It's just that everyone is tired of fighting and can't do anything to each other, so they are looking for an opportunity to make peace and give each other a step down.

The world is about the same. The Central Plains likes to blame Baosi, Daji, and Yang Imperial Consort, and the grassland is the same. It's all San San Niangzi's fault.

Qi Qi Jiguang looked at the second condition: the Great Ming must unconditionally withdraw from Daning Guard and return this land belonging to the grassland to the grassland. The grassland belongs to the grassland, and the Central Plains belongs to the Central Plains, without interfering with each other.

"If you have the ability, come and take it. I am here. Not convinced? What's the use of shouting if you can't beat me? It's snowing this year, so come again next year." Qi Qi Jiguang sneered. It is indeed a disadvantage to attack from a low position to a high position, but Qi Qi Jiguang won, and winning is winning.

This Daning Guard was originally Great Ming territory. During the Emperor Jingtai era, the Great Ming still stationed troops here, and the Uriankhai Three Guards could not enter within 200 li of Daning Guard.

The third article is to have a tribute market, refusing to accept the imperial court's enfeoffment, but still wanting to trade with the Great Ming, and also detailed some regulations, which looked quite decent.

Tribute trade is the ancestral law. Even now, the trade of the Portuguese from the West is also carried out under the name of the tribute country of Luzon, and the trade is divided. The Portuguese actually occupy Luzon's Mindanao Island and use the name of Luzon to trade with the Great Ming.

This third article is also impossible to agree to.

"What does this condition mean?" Qi Qi Jiguang pointed to the fourth article and asked with some confusion.

Tan Lun took a look, blinked, and said, "It means exactly what you see. Annual tribute: the Great Ming gives the Altan Khan 500,000 taels of silk and silver as military expenses, to be handed over at the Fumin Post outside Xifengkou."

"Is Altan Khan not awake? Or did I, Qi Qi Jiguang, lose the battle? Now I am riding on his head!" After reading the alliance document, Qi Qi Jiguang was a little stupid. Where did Altan Khan get the confidence to propose such conditions?

Now! It is he, Qi Qi Jiguang, who is going outside the frontier, captured Daning Guard, and beat the Altan Khan until he couldn't lift his head, forcing him to shrink to Quanning Guard! If Altan Khan takes another step back, he will retreat to the west side of the Greater Khingan Mountains, withdraw from Liaodong, and retreat to Song Yingchang!

Tan Lun picked up the alliance document and said with admiration, "The fifth article: he also wants to make a pact with His Majesty as uncle and nephew. His Majesty is young, so he wants to call Altan Khan uncle, and future generations will still follow this. Altan Khan's courage is not ordinary. Even the Grand Secretary wouldn't dare to let His Majesty call him uncle."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Qi Qi Jiguang said with a face like frost, "Then we can only kill him."

"The struggle between Altan Khan and Altan Khan on the grassland does not allow Altan Khan to say anything weak, so he said this. This alliance document is just a statement of a hardline position to stabilize people's hearts. These words are not for us, but for their own people. Just fight back." Tan Lun looked at the alliance document and shook his head.

After Qi Qi Jiguang heard what Tan Lun said, he also nodded to show his approval of Tan Lun. This does not mean he approves of the alliance document. He said coldly, "Reasonable. Throw the messenger out, let them formulate an alliance document again, otherwise there is no need to talk. If this alliance document is sent to the capital, it will be the shame of our Beijing Camp."

Qi Qi Jiguang's attitude was exceptionally tough. He held the secret edict. All affairs of Daning Guard were under Qi Qi Jiguang's jurisdiction. If this alliance document were sent to the capital, it would be his crime.

Qi Qi Jiguang's toughness made Altan Khan somewhat helpless. Qi Qi Jiguang was tough from the perspective of strength. What could Altan Khan do? He had to modify the alliance document again, deleting the part about not being lower than Altan Khan's purchase price and the brother countries. Only then did Altan Khan's messenger successfully pass through Daning Guard.

When Altan Khan's messenger left Daning Guard, it was also when the twelve censors led by Zhou Zhou Liangyin went to Liaodong.

Zhou Zhou Liangyin looked at Tan Lun and asked in surprise, "Is the Tan Sima not going to Liaodong?"

"I am just going to Daning Guard. You go to Liaodong, and I return to the capital." Tan Lun said as a matter of course.
