Hai Rui suddenly turned around, faced Tan Lunyan who was standing under the eaves of the corridor, and said with a smile, "Of course you, Tan Zili, also know about me."

With that said, Hai Rui rushed Tan Lun into the house: "You should go back to the house. Although the snow has stopped, the wind is still as strong as a knife."

Tan Lun chuckled, waved his robe sleeves, his face sank, and said: "I, Tan Zili, haven't reached this level yet, so it's okay to come out and see the snow scene."

Hai Rui advised: "The snow scenery in the small courtyard is not as good as the snow in the frontier fortress. You should go back to your house. Now the emperor can't do without you, my soldier, just like he can't do without Yuan Fu."

"Don't disturb our elegant mood!"

Although Tan Lun said so, he still went back to the house.

Seeing this, Hai Rui and Wang Yongji smiled at each other and continued to sweep away the snow.

"I finally understand. He, Tan Zili, is planning to rebuild the Jiliao defense line and reorganize the northern frontier, and he has to delay it because all the money is used to supplement his salary and wages. However, he is also sick all over, and he is afraid that he will not have much life. And no one knows how long the examination method promoted by Yuan Fu can be implemented, how long this situation in which the cabinet has real power can be maintained, especially how long a leader like Yuan Fu who attaches great importance to military preparation can be in power, and he will only When I became anxious, I blamed Yuan Fu for not fighting in front of the imperial court, and asked Your Majesty to secure the internal funds and rebuild the border defense first."

Hai Rui asked Wang Yongji as he spoke, "Is this going to lead to embarrassment?"

"That's not entirely true. He, Tan Zili, is sensible and knows that it is important to pay the salary owed by the inner court or the official salary of the foreign court. After all, if there is discord inside and outside, some things will be more difficult to do. But there is still some feeling in my heart. It’s just unpleasant.”

Wang Yongji said and added: "In addition, you also know that civil servants like him who rely on military service are the most embarrassed. Civil servants think that he is as rough as a warrior, aggressive and easy to kill; military generals fear him like a tiger. After all, ordinary civil servants are really It is not necessarily possible to kill military ministers at will. Only civil servants like him with military merit can really manage military ministers like an army and kill at will. Therefore, everyone is afraid of him; this also makes him not have many friends, although It’s my soldier, once I don’t go to Yuan Fu’s mansion, if I want to spend time with a few friends during this period, I can only come to you, Haigangfeng.”

"Because I was born in Juren."

Hai Rui replied with a smile.

Wang Yongji nodded and smiled without denying it.

After sweeping away the snow, Hai Rui and Wang Yongji came in. They bowed their hands to Tan Lun first and then sat down and said, "Zili, don't worry, the national financial situation will get better next year. After all, now I am afraid that officials everywhere will know about the imperial examination." The law is not in vain, and we will earnestly pursue the collection of taxes. If it doesn't work, next year I will go to Shu and ask for an order to inspect the Xu family, so that I can continue to be a wealthy family. "

Bang!

Then, there was a violent coughing and wheezing sound.

Seeing this, Wang Yongji hurriedly grabbed Hai Rui: "Brother Gangfeng, even if you have the intention of copying the Xu family, you shouldn't say it out loud. Both Zili and Yuanfu were recommended by Mr. Xu back then. You must know that Xu The old gentleman is not only good at occupying land, but also using people, and you said in front of Zili that you were copying the Xu family, how could you put Zili in trouble?"

"You don't understand it yet, Runlian."

Tan Lun, with a flushed face, said to Hai Rui.

Hai Rui had already brought a cup of hot tea to Tan Lun and said with a smile, "It was me, Hai Rui, who made a mistake. Don't blame me!"

"The food is ready!"

At this time, Haizuma appeared outside the door and called out.

After hearing this, Hai Rui agreed and walked out.

And just when Tan Lun and Wang Yong were finishing their meal at Hai's house, Ke Yong, the deacon and eunuch of Qianqing Palace, suddenly came to the door of Hai's house: "I have a decree, and Tan Lun is brought to the palace to have an audience!"

After hearing this, Tan Lun had no choice but to stand up, turned around and said goodbye to Hai Rui and Wang Yongji.

Hai Rui and Wang Yongji returned the gift and sat back in surprise.

Hai Rui couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty knows where Tan Zili is very quickly!"

Here, as soon as Tan Lun came out, the guest pointed to a small sedan and said to Tan Lun: "Your Majesty has a decree to give the Grand Sima a carriage to enter the palace."

With that said, the guest extended his hand to Tan Lun and said with a smile: "Please, Sir."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Tan Lun handed over his hands and got into the sedan.

After entering the snow-covered red walls of the palace, Tan Lun got off the sedan chair and came to Zhu Yijun's Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Zhu Yijun was receiving massage from Li Shizhen in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun had summoned him to Beijing last year, but Li Shizhen was compiling the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and had only arrived in the capital now to accept the emperor's summons.

To Zhu Yijun's surprise, Li Shizhen also knew how to massage and set bones.

"Your majesty's legs are naturally uneven. Although I try my best to correct them, it is difficult to completely change them. However, as long as your majesty is not overweight, it will not be a problem! In addition, your majesty has white coating and spleen deficiency, and I am afraid that his future teeth will be affected by it. Be careful not to eat sweets."

"I've been paying attention."

When Tan Lun came in, Li Shizhen had just finished giving Zhu Yijun a massage and was talking.

Zhu Yijun gave Li Shizhen an official position in the Taiyuan Hospital, so Li Shizhen called himself a minister and called Zhu Yijun his majesty.

"Your Majesty, Grand Sima has been summoned."

At this time, Zhang Hong appeared at Zhu Yijun and reported.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun stopped talking to Li Shizhen and only ordered: "Let Tan Qing come in."

Not long after, Tan Lun came to Zhu Yijun.

"Please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yijun then smiled at Tan Lun and said: "I summoned you here for two things. One is that I summoned Li Shizhen to Beijing. He is a world-famous miracle doctor who can help you recuperate from your injuries, and he Li Shizhen dislikes Our Imperial Hospital is not a place for practicing medicine and researching medical science. If you don’t want to stay in our Imperial Hospital, I have no choice but to let him live in your home as an idle official from the Imperial Hospital, so that he can diagnose and treat you at all times."

"In addition, I also promised him that the Chief of Ceremonies will help him compile and print his "Compendium of Materia Medica", and I will also help him compile and print the "Compendium of Materia Medica" every month with a third-grade official salary. You can entertain Li Shizhen on my behalf. Allowing him to cure your illness in Beijing can also save other people in Beijing, and at the same time, his book, which is of great benefit to the world of medicine, can be published as soon as possible."

"I accept the decree!"

Tan Lun replied.

Zhu Yijun said again: "Mr. Yuanfu Zhang once told me that the Ministry of War cannot live without you Tan Zili, just like Ji Liao cannot live without Qi Jiguang. I thought that Han had Wei Huo and I had Tan Qi. This was destined to be the future of my Wanli Dynasty." You will also achieve immortal achievements in martial ethics!"

"Therefore, I specifically want Li Shizhen to come to the capital for your diagnosis and treatment. Please rest assured and recover from your illness. In the future, I will organize the border preparations for me and restore the military force of the Ming Dynasty to the original state!"

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness! I am so ashamed, how dare I compare with Wei Huo."

Tan Lun stood up and choked back.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Even if you are humble and think you are inferior, you should set an example. In addition, I have read your memorial and asked Qi Jiguang to serve as Prime Minister of the Three Towns. Not only the cabinet agreed, but I also agreed. As for rebuilding Jiji The offensive and defensive system of Liao and Jiubian is a major matter that must be done. I have asked people to write this on paper and stick it behind the screen. I will not forget it, but it is not the time yet. But I do not hope that it will be necessary in the future. When it comes to rebuilding the martial ethics of the Ming Dynasty, you can no longer make plans for me, so you should cherish your own body."

After hearing this, Tan Lun had to stand up again and choked with sobs: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take good care of my health and recover from illness."

Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded. He summoned Tan Lun, Minister of War, alone because he was concerned about Tan Lun's condition. This would only make the outside world think that he was only concerned about Tan Lun's condition, and would not suspect that he, a young emperor, already had a tendency to worship martial arts.

"After the New Year's Day, I will confer great gifts to all the great scholars in the cabinet and the Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Guoguang, and Hai Rui in the Qianqing Palace. Your Majesty will also come at that time to hear how the deficit will be solved next year. This will make it clear. , when will the imperial court have the financial resources to rectify Jiliao border defense."

Zhu Yijun said.

"yes!"

Tan Lun was inspired a lot because he learned that Wanli himself was also thinking about this matter.
