Zhu Yunwen was sketching out the governance of the Western Regions. When he saw Yang Shiqi finishing his salute, he raised his right hand and said, "Let's just start the work."
Yang Shiqi took out Zhao Shuwen's letter and handed it to Zhu Yunwen: "The emperor talked about a Qiantang boy in the early years, and now he is here."
Zhu Yunwen paused with the brush in his hand, took the letter handed over by the chamberlain, looked at it carefully, and smiled happily: "I'm here after all."
Yang Shiqi was a little puzzled: "Why does the emperor value Yu Qian so much? After all, he is only seven years old. It will take at least twenty years for him to grow into the talent the court needs."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "Even though he is only seven years old, his future is already limitless. Yang Shiqi, just wait, he will probably work with you in less than twenty years."
Yang Shiqi was startled and didn't understand what Zhu Yunwen meant by working together. Did he mean that Yu Qian became a courtier and worked together, or did he mean that Yu Qian entered the cabinet and worked together?
Is a seven-year-old child really worthy of such high expectations from Zhu Yunwen?
Zhu Yunwen was in a very comfortable mood, which meant that if it were Jie Jin who was facing Yang Shiqi, he might not have said these words.
Yang Shiqi is not a jealous person, but has an unimaginable tolerance and a decent man. Even if Zhu Yunwen praises some rising stars, he will only support them, not suppress them. Well, Jie Jin, it’s hard to say. He has a sense of crisis. When the sense of crisis is strong, it’s easier to think more...
Yang Shiqi didn't ask any more questions, but just suggested: "Since the emperor values Yu Qian so much, is it necessary to transfer some people to Qiantang Society to be his guide?"
Zhu Yunwen knew very well that his teacher had a great influence on each student, and was even directly related to the child's future direction and achievements, so he said, "Zhao Shuwen and Hu Kewei are both top talents in the Imperial College. I am relieved that they will teach Yu Qian." . However, I still need someone to keep an eye on him, let Sun Youzhou go to Qiantang County to teach, let him pay attention to Yu Qian, and give him some guidance outside of class."
Yang Shiqi nodded deeply.
Sun Youzhou, one of the first graduates of the Imperial College, now joins the Ministry of Household Affairs as a Yuanwai Lang. This person has a solid foundation in humanities and history, is proficient in mathematics, is determined to innovate, advocates new learning, has novel ideas, and is good at discovering and solving problems. He is Xia Yuanji's general.
Zhu Yunwen even gave this kind of talent to Qiantang Yu Qian, which shows that he attaches great importance to this person. Although I don’t understand the reason, which talent can be recognized by Zhu Yunwen and is not a well-known talent?
In any case, the purpose is to cultivate talents for the imperial court, whether it is for Sun Youzhou to gain local experience, or to climb up if he lacks political achievements. Nowadays, everyone in the imperial court is promoting education. Whether it is literacy, social studies, or county schools, they are all areas where political achievements are easy to make.
Zhu Yunwen picked up Zhao Shuwen's letter again and saw that he was praising Yu Qian. He was happier than someone praising his own son. This little guy must grow up well and become Zhu Wenkui's minister in the future, pushing his innovation, ideals and ambitions forward. Towards higher heights.
The innovation and advancement of the times is by no means something that can be accomplished by one generation. You must consider your successor and the talent of your successor. Historically, Yu Qian had ability, means, character, and principles. He was almost a perfect man. Although it is difficult to say how much the new society has changed Yu Qian, Zhu Yunwen believes that Yu Qian is a jade in the rough, and his quality will not change. Sculpting will only make him more stunning.
Yu Qian, I’m waiting for you to grow up! This wait is a bit long. It would be unrealistic for Yue Qian to enter the Imperial Academy and the imperial court within fifteen years. Using him too early would be tantamount to robbing the seedlings.
Just wait, Zhu Yunwen has plenty of time.
For Zhu Wenkui, Zhu Yunwen was very pleased. He had a good experience on his first trip. He suffered hardships, saw the hardships of the bottom, walked a lot, exercised his body, and suffered losses that were not planned or expected. , thinking begins to become more thorough...
In order to train Zhu Wenkui and let Zhu Wenkui see more things, Zhu Yunwen began to plan Zhu Wenkui's second trip. This time the destination will no longer be Fengyang, but Peiping.
Peiping is a place that needs someone to see it. Zhu Wenkui went there to see it. He could feel the greatness of the craftsmen and the value of the people, and he could also see the illegal activities and understand how to do it to satisfy more people.
It's just that Ma Enhui doesn't want Zhu Wenkui to continue running out, and Han Xiayu probably doesn't want to walk anymore, but none of these can stop Zhu Yunwen's arrangement...
In early February, Zhu Wenkui, Han Xiayu, Yang Pu and others left the capital once again, riding the spring breeze and ships all the way north...
In the Western Regions, Welu’s mother.
Zhu Di's face was a little panicked, Xu Huizu's face was full of sadness, Liu Jun was pacing back and forth, and Yang Rong clasped his hands and remained silent.
After making the diagnosis, Chen Chang put Song Sheng's hand back into the quilt, stood up and said to Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, Song Xuan and others who came up to him: "General Song had already contracted the wind and cold last winter, and then he continued to fight. After leading the troops for thousands of miles, the pommel and horses are very tired, and now they are ill, which is really difficult to treat."
Song Xuan said quickly: "Medical Doctor Chen, you must save my father!"
Zhu Di said seriously: "No matter the cost, we must heal General Song!"
Chen Chang was filled with bitterness. He looked back at Song Sheng, who was sleeping on the hospital bed, and said painfully: "He is old, he is already ill, he has multiple illnesses, and he is suffering from aversion to cold..."
Xu Huizu gritted his teeth: "We don't want to hear so much, as long as General Song recovers! Dr. Chen, you are also from Taiyuan Hospital, you must have a way, right?"
Chen Chang put away the medicine box and said sadly: "I will do my best, but please report to the court quickly..."
Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, Chen Xuan and others looked pale.
Chen Chang was not optimistic that Song Sheng would get better. In other words, Song Sheng's days were probably numbered.
Yang Rong walked out of the door and looked at the sky with red eyes. He really wanted to ask God why he treated a victorious general on the battlefield like this. He has not yet waited for his glory, his reward, or his reward. When he reaches his glory, should we let him pass away from this world?
No, it won't!
Song Sheng is a military general. He is in very good health...
Liu Jun patted Yang Rong's shoulder, sat directly on the ground, and sighed: "This is not an unexpected thing. He had expected it a long time ago. Now that the Western Region has returned to the Central Plains, he should have no regrets."
Yang Rong knew that Song Sheng's dream was to do a big event that would shine in the annals of history and take back the Western Regions, which would be enough for him to stay in the annals of history forever. It's just that he fell ill at the wrong time...
In Zhu Yunwen's plan to build a guard station, Song Sheng was the first candidate for the capital of the Western Regions, with Yuan Yue and Liu Qixia serving as capital commanders. But Song Sheng suddenly fell ill, even to the point of coma, which would disrupt Zhu Yunwen's arrangement for the Western Regions, and at least require reconsideration of the new candidate for the capital commander Shi.
Song Sheng finally couldn't get through it, and died of illness in Weilu's mother on February 7.
Before his death, Song Sheng left his last words: "I will be buried at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and I will live up to the emperor's grace. The Western Regions will be governed for a long time, and my soul will rest in peace."
Suddenly, the whole army was in silence and crying.
Song Xuan burst into tears and lay in front of the bed unable to get up.
Zhu Di and Xu Huizu were very sad.
Zhu Di looked at the dead Song Sheng, and his memory returned to the Hongwu Dynasty. After more than thirty years of ups and downs, Song Sheng was a rare tiger general who survived. He was so powerful in the Western Regions and so famous that even Wala did not dare to ignore him easily. .
Zhu Yunwen still reused Song Sheng, and even handed over the horse breeding farm plan to Song Sheng, which was related to the national destiny. He also lived up to Zhu Yunwen's trust and relied on various means to obtain countless war horses from Hami, Yili, and Wala. Let Shandan Racecourse become a huge horse herding land, constantly bringing fresh war horses to Ming Dynasty.
The battle with Timur was Song Sheng's military peak. He not only led his troops to successfully stop Karachi's 15,000 cavalry, but also captured them. He made outstanding contributions to defeating the Hari Pioneers and once undertook the task of blocking Hari. , not afraid of sacrifice, fighting wildly against Harry's guards...
When facing Tamerlane, Song Sheng faced off against Mirasha again. The entire command and operation was remarkable, with proper coordination, and he even charged forward personally, fighting bravely...
When the Western Region was conquered, he once again led the way, traveling for thousands of miles, braving the wind and snow, crossing mountains, rivers and deserts. He stood proudly in the vast world like an unshakable mountain.
But, he left.
An old friend from the Hongwu era is missing again.
Zhu Di lamented endlessly.
Xu Huizu felt sad. Song Sheng was undoubtedly the best candidate for the imperial court to control the Northwest and Western Regions. However, he suddenly died of a serious illness. Not to mention controlling the Western Regions, he did not even receive the reward that belonged to him!
How many people have fought in ancient times!
Generals sometimes grow old and sometimes die.
Song Sheng should be proud. Look at his thin but majestic face and his snow-white beard. He spent his last life creating the new territory of the Ming Dynasty. He heard the voice of the imperial court taking back the Western Regions, and he also took back the Western Regions. When Zhu Yunwen issued the order appointing him as the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Regions, he just didn't have time to return to Beijing to receive his reward...
But, does he really need a reward?
No, what he needs is for his achievements to be recognized by the world, and what he needs is for everyone to remember his name.
Song Sheng, although the imperial court's blockade has not arrived, you will always live in everyone's hearts.
Look, there are hundreds of thousands of people watching you off!
Look, everyone remembers you and is looking at you. You are the hero of the Western Regions and the general of the Ming Dynasty!
Yang Rong couldn't stop crying. Song Sheng's departure took away all his strength. He handed over his life to the Western Regions. He burned all his vitality here. He devoted himself to the court, to the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions, and to the people who were sleeping here. sergeant.
He chose to stay here, at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. Song Sheng, General Song, have a good journey...
Countless people cried.
Countless white clothes.
In February, there was snow in Welumu.
The snow is so heavy that it covers the Tianshan Mountains and changes the wilderness...
