    In recent years, many scholars and scholars have written lyrics and poems for Huangshi, but there have never been so many as this year. Some singers selected a few of them and set them to music, which became popular among the people.  "A man who has fought three thousand miles and one sword can stop a million soldiers." A man who looked like a scholar in the wine shop let out a long sigh of praise. Although he had listened to many poems, the scholar felt that only this poem by Wang Wei could express his feelings.  The heroic spirit of Huangshi.  This scholar recently also wore a long sword on his waist. He would pull the sword out of its sheath to look at it from time to time, then put it back in and continue drinking. After a while, he would pull out the sword again and have a look. This was repeated endlessly.  Every time the legend of Huangshi is mentioned, the gathered scholars, especially the young scholars, all drink the strongest and spiciest wine. They say that only in this way can they be worthy of Huangshi's courage to brave Liaoyang.  "It is said that the greatest satisfaction in life is to be named on the gold medal list, but in my opinion, even if I won the top prize, I am afraid that it would not be as good as Huang Dashuai's glory today." Sitting in the restaurant, listening to the new song composed for Huang Shi, and drinking the spirit of celebrating Huang Shi's great achievements.  Drinking wine, looking at the artists all over the capital, and thinking about the grand scene when this exciting story was sung all over the world, a scholar finally sighed like this.  "It's true that if you can make contributions to the country like Marshal Huang, it will be a lifetime comfort." Another young scholar was obviously an admirer of Huang Shi. He suddenly pulled out the long sword and put it heavily on the table. He held the hilt steady with his left hand and held the sword with his right hand.  The rhythmic movement on his body made the long sword make a dragon roar.  The scholar first sang a song loudly and then said impassionedly to the people around him: "Brothers, I don't know, but I once met Huang Dashuai once. When Huang Dashuai came to the capital last year, I was fortunate enough to see Huang Dashuai's true appearance in a restaurant.  Listening to Marshal Huang talk about the many heroes of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, I felt very emotional. At that time, I didn't know that Marshal Huang had blurted out: I really wish I could fly to Liaodong to serve in front of Huang Gong to protect the army.  The blood of the Huns." Looking at the envious and complicated looks from everyone, the scholar flicked the sword in his hand again.  In the clanking golden voice, he smiled and continued: "Since I saw Marshal Huang last time, I no longer wear a folding fan. Recently, I have decided that I will not participate in the imperial examination next year. I will throw my sword into the army.  Liaodong served as Marshal Huang's military counselor and performed promising things." The whole table was listening to the scholar's words attentively.  When he concluded, he was not the only one at the table.  Even the few tables of scholars around him on this floor fell silent, and everyone was listening to his heroic words.  After the restaurant was silent for a moment, a young scholar at the next table suddenly pushed the bench under the table hard, making a clear creaking sound in the quiet restaurant.  The young man strode over and bowed to the scholar who was speaking: "I am Li Changlin, a native of Zhejiang. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, I was ranked sixth in the Zhizhou Prefecture Examination. Do you dare to ask what I call this brother?" The scholar who had spoken earlier stood up quickly.  Lai returned a courtesy politely: "It turns out that Brother Li was the fifth in the Runan Mansion Examination in the third year of Emperor Hanchen's reign." Li Changlin, without being polite, said generously in front of everyone: "Brother Wang's words deeply impressed me.  I am also willing to go to Liaodong together." Wang Hanchen said with great joy: "I would like to go with Brother Li." "In the second year of Tianqi's reign, Zhao Jingzhi won the first place in the Shaanxi Tongzhou Academy.  Someone from Zhao Jingzhi followed suit and broke the silence with a loud voice.  He raised his hands to the first two people and smiled and said: "If you two dear friends don't give up, I would like to go to Liaodong together." Wang Hanchen and Li Changlin didn't wait to speak.  A murmur of voices suddenly erupted upstairs: "Three dear friends are still here" "My dear friends, I would also like to go with you!"  At this time, the focus of the discussion among these scholars is still worrying about money.  After meeting a group of Shandong businessmen today, Huang Shi quickly asked before Liu Qingyang could sit down, "Brother Liu, what do you think of this matter?" Liu Qingyang had just returned from Japan not long ago. The main purpose of his return was to communicate with Bao Bowen.  In order to better coordinate production and sales.  But soon after Liu Qingyang came back, he met a businessman who came to Changsheng Island to buy goods, which gave him special ideas and made suggestions to Huangshi.  The group of businessmen Liu Qingyang met with Huang Shi today are all creditors of Dongjiang Town headquarters. Mao Wenlong has been ordered to do business for three years. Dongjiang Town has already owed a huge debt of more than one million taels, and this number is still increasing.  "Sir, no matter who runs this stall in Dongjiang, they will lose money. This is not a problem of Mao Shuai or other people's ability. It is because the money and food the court gives us in Dongjiang Town every year are simply not enough to eat." Since the establishment of Dongjiang Town, various royal rewards have been removed.  In addition, every year in Dongjiang Town, 200,000 Mao in silver and 200,000 rice each were used to squander military notes in order to purchase supplies. Naturally, the result was high debts.    This approach has indeed solved the urgent needs of Dongjiang Town and allowed more Dongjiang refugees to have enough to eat. However, a large number of patriotic businessmen have been greatly harmed by it. Many businessmen have no way to seek help and even bankrupted their fortunes.  Some of them came to Changsheng Island, hoping that the Dongjiang Town Leftist Association would recognize the headquarters' military votes. Although Huang Shi couldn't bear it, he didn't dare to take over this hot potato.  If Huang Shi recognizes the military ticket of the headquarters, it will be equivalent to carrying hundreds of thousands of mouths for the headquarters. If this matter spreads to ten or ten, more and more businessmen will definitely come to Zuo Xie. This economic strength is basically  Not enough food for the headquarters.  It's just that although Huang Shi refused to exchange the military tickets of his headquarters, he couldn't bear it, so he ordered some conveniences for such merchants and allowed them to return the goods from Changsheng Island to Shandong for sale.  After hearing Huang Shi express his concerns, Liu Qingyang nodded and said: "What your Excellency said is that the general is not ignorant of your difficulties, nor does he want you to acknowledge all the debts of the Dongjiang Headquarters. It's just that the General thinks that there are many loyal kings among these businessmen."  People who are patriotic and have good intentions towards our Dongjiang Town will not think it right if they allow them to lose their families and property. " "Brother Liu said that if the good deeds cause these businessmen to lose their wealth, I think it is not consistent with good deeds.  It will also damage the prestige of Dongjiang Town. Brother Liu, please tell me quickly." Huang Shi listened carefully to Liu Qingyang's idea and suggested that the Dongjiang Town Zuo Association should deal with this kind of problem.  Help local patriotic businessmen to identify.  Based on these people's historical contributions to Dongjiang Town, they were given a certain amount of loan repayment, and at the same time, Shandong civil servants were encouraged to sign a formal loan receipt in Dengzhou Prefecture to prevent anyone from taking Zuo Xie's money in vain.  Huang Shi thought this idea was feasible. Zhu Jiuye, whom he had met in the capital, was among these businessmen who had no way to collect debts. There was also a boss Gu named Gu Lu, who was one of the people Huang Shi saved in Juehua.  In any case, Huang Shi believes that the patriotic enthusiasm of these businessmen should be rewarded.  Not to mention that this may also create a pro-Changsheng Island business group.  "Well, I agree. Brother Liu, please go and formulate a loan regulation. Well, this loan should have a name, let's call it a loan."  The third day of September in the sixth year of Tianqi's reign was in the capital.  Ouchi Apocalypse has also experienced a process from shock to elation these days. When he saw the memorial that Huang Shi asked Wu Mu to submit on his behalf, Apocalypse was so shocked that he almost overturned the imperial case. He felt that the reason why Huang Shi went to Liaoyang to fight for his life was entirely because of his anger.  Because his distrust hurt the general's heart.  Then Tianqi got angry at Wei Zhongxian and dragged Old Wei's head out and scolded him.  But after waiting for the anger to pass, the kind-hearted Emperor Tianqi began to blame himself again. He felt that he had hurt his loyal old servant again, so he found a reason to reward Wei Zhongxian dozens of taels of silver.  After compensating Wei Zhongxian.  When Tianqi thought that Huang Shi's life and death were still uncertain, he was so sad that he couldn't even eat.  Looking forward to the stars and the moon.  Tianqi finally waited for the news of Huang Shi's safe return and the report that Huang Shi claimed to have killed Nurhachi.  After receiving this information at that time, the cabinet and the Director of Ceremonies questioned whether Huang Shi's story was reliable because the story was too sensational.  Cabinet Assistant Gu Bingqian couldn't imagine the scene at that time, so he put aside the image of the Buddha he had always maintained and fiercely attacked Huangshi's report in front of Tianqi: It's okay to go deep into the enemy's territory. After going deep into the enemy's territory, meeting Nurhachi is still fair.  In the past, it made no sense that the opponent was so lacking in defense after meeting Nurhachi.  In Huangshi¡¯s report, he not only killed Nurhachi but also escaped unscathed. The most amazing thing is that he actually calmly brought back Miss Zhao Er from under the eyes of his opponent. This is really terrible determination, wisdom and courage.  Gu Dafo imprudently asserted to Tianqi: "Huang Shuai must have been desperate to insult the dignity of the court in Liaoyang and tried to exonerate himself by talking nonsense." At that time, Tianqi also somewhat agreed with Gu Fu's opinion in his heart, but he was still happy.  Tian Qi defended Huang Shi in front of the cabinet and said in public: "No one can make mistakes without being a sage! Even if Huang Shuai got into some small trouble this time, it was because I have done it first. Now that Huang Shuai can return safely, it is  It¡¯s a lucky coincidence that God didn¡¯t want to cut off my arm, so he sent him back to me. How could I punish him when I was too late to rejoice?¡± It was not until the apocalypse that the cabinet¡¯s heated discussions were suppressed and the first report to Nurhachi was made.  The Ming court was extremely shocked when news of his death came, and ordered Dongchang, Xichang, Neichang, Jinyiwei and Liaodong Dusifu to act simultaneously to find out the time and cause of Nurhachi's death.  But before the No. 3 Factory and the First Guard dispatched several reports, they were submitted one after another. Although the causes of death were different, the time was basically around August 10th.  Under the influence of the rumors released by Huangshi in advance, half of the reports even bluntly reported that Nurhaci died at the hands of Huangshi on August 9.  The Ming court also discovered many special actions of Houjin. After Nurhachi's death, Houjin seemed to be greatly shocked.Nurhachi's concubine refused to tell Hou Jin and he continued to investigate the details for many days. It seemed that they thought there was an important spy from Huangshi around Nurhachi.  In addition to this, Hou Jin also tried their best to refute the rumors and tried their best to deny that Nurhachi had returned to Liaoyang.  However, the Mongolians did not believe what the senior leaders of Hou Jin said. Even many of Hou Jin's own Eight Banners disciples believed that Nurhaci died at the hands of Huang Shi.  The Han army and Baoyi under the rule of Hou Jin were also panic-stricken. The number of people fleeing the Ming army-controlled areas increased sharply this month. They all agreed: Nurhaci died at the hands of Huangshi.  "Mr. Ge, what do you think?" Tianqi has been in a very good mood recently and rarely does carpentry work.  Reading the memorials in the sky these days obviously brings greater pleasure to the young emperor. He is now pointing out several newly arrived memorials to Gu Fu with a smile, and his pride is beyond words. ? ?Looking carefully, it seems that the other two cabinet ministers also received a share.  Wei Zhongxian, on the other hand, still stood with his arms folded, looking "loyal, diligent and rigorous".  Behind Apocalypse stood motionless.  Gu Bingqian exchanged glances with the other two cabinet ministers. They all saw on each other's faces that the three of them nodded in unison.  After knowing it well, Gu Bingqian shiveringly put the memorial back on the tray, put his hands flat on his knees and said slowly and in a long voice: "The Holy Minister thinks this matter is very suspicious. Although Jianlu insisted that the old man  The slave died on the road, and he died two days after Huang Shuai left Liaoyang. But if this was true, how could Huang Shuai know that the old slave would die two days in advance? Besides, Huang Shuai reported this as soon as he returned to Gaizhou.  It was only August 10th and the location was hundreds of miles away from Shenyang. If Huang Shuai could predict the future, I would not believe it." After patiently listening to what Gu Fu said, Tian Qi Xianfu still did not give an attribution.  So he couldn't wait to ask: "Then the elder thinks that what Huang Shuai said is true?" "The old minister thinks that what Jianlu said is definitely not credible. Although Huang Shuai's report is sensational, based on the old minister's ignorance, it is very likely that the old slave is true.  Huang Shuai's execution was just a substitute. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen? "Haha, what Mr. Ge said is exactly what I want." Tianqi clapped his hands and laughed.  Much more interesting.  The days are getting happier day by day: "In this case, let the cabinet discuss how to reward Huang Shuai. After drafting the votes, hand them to the Chief of Ceremonies for approval. No matter how you draft, I will not be wrong." Ding Shaoshi heard this and was very happy.  He shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, this must not be done." Tianqi looked at Ding Cifu in surprise: "Does Master Ding still think it's suspicious that Huang Shuai killed the old slave?" Although the emperor's tone was surprised, there was something in it.  But he didn't mean to be angry. Feng ¡ö on the other side also said: "Your Majesty, I have to go to the ancestral system to discuss military merits. Today, Huang Shuai failed to bring him back to the old slave level. I really don't dare to obey the imperial edict when discussing military merits."  Qian Qian and Ding Shaoshi also followed suit and said in unison: "I dare not obey the imperial edict." Tianqi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "You, the Huangshuai of the Qing family, will not be able to carry the old slave out of Liaoyang this time, won't you?  Do you believe that it was Huang Shuai who killed the old slave? "Isn't it possible to judge the merits based on power?" "No!" Feng ¡ö said firmly, although he lowered his head, his tone was impassioned: "The Holy Minister also believes that it was Huang Shuai who killed him?"  The old slave Weichen who was killed also admired Huang Shuai's courage, but this case must not be done." Ding Shaoshi on the other side also became energetic. He echoed loudly: "The Holy Lord Weichen thought Master Feng was right. If he does it for Huang Shuai today.  If this is the case, I am afraid that from tomorrow onwards there will be people claiming to have killed a certain chieftain in order to gain advancement. Anyway, even if there is no such thing, it can be said that they were seriously injured rather than killed, and those chieftains will inevitably have an old illness.  If the chief dies, will we reward those who claimed to have killed other people before? " Ding Shaoshi clearly meant that if we rewarded Huangshi today, it would be inevitable that some people would want to have great luck. There are so many officers and soldiers in Liaodong and western Liaoning who claim to kill them every day.  As for the slave chief, there can be hundreds of people stalling in a day. There will definitely be someone bumping into him, and there will probably be more than one.  Seeing Tianqi's hesitation, Ding Shaoshi struck again while the iron was hot and said: "The ancestral system of the Holy Emperor is based on levels of military merit. If there are levels, there will be levels, and there will be no levels. This is not without reason." Tianqi also understood that what the cabinet minister said made sense, but he felt a little unhappy.  He said sarcastically: "Okay, I understand, I just feel a little unfair for Huang Shuai." "Your Majesty is wise." Ding Shaoshi complimented him and followed him, then heard Gu Bingqian cough lightly. The three cabinet ministers stood together solemnly.  They all stood up and bowed to Tianqi on the throne: "I congratulate you, Your Majesty." At this time, Gu Fu became in high spirits, and all the Buddha image in the past was thrown to the island of Java. He said to Tianqi with great joy:  "The Holy Lord Huang Shuai used his lone sword and iron courage to face the unexpected and kill the enemy chieftain in the tiger's den among thousands of troops to show off the country's prestige before the vassal. Such a fierce general has been around since three generations.Never heard of it.  " " Even the humble ministers under the rule of three generations of wise kings have never heard of such a fierce general as Huang Shuai.  "It is said that when a saint is born, famous ministers and good generals will be reincarnated in the world. Since there are powerful generals like Huang Shi, it certainly means that Tianqi's virtues are profound. Feng ¡ö took the flattery one step further and directly compared Tianqi with three generations of wise kings. "Haha, good.  "The young emperor suddenly became happy again. He thought secretly in his heart: How should we compensate Huang Shi?
