Chapter 416 I have been wandering for half my life

Chapter 416: Chen Piao Ling Half Life

Although it seemed miserable, Wu Changhui was very satisfied and the ending was better than he expected.

Although he lost his position, the emperor still arranged an errand for him, asking him to see if there were any omissions in the training methods of the Northern Four Guards based on the actual conditions of the Junggar Army and the Grassland Army.

After watching it today, Wu Changhui was really shocked, and even more surprised by Zhu Jinghong's military talent, otherwise he would not have come up with these tricks.

"You have indeed practiced well, but I don't know how powerful you can be on the battlefield."

While Wu Changhui was thinking, Sun Shaozu, the commander of the Yongning Guard behind him, , but looked at the commoner at the top of the sentry tower.

Seeing that he did not respond, Wu Changhui turned around and followed Sun Shaozu's gaze towards the sentry tower.

"General, that is His Royal Highness King Xiang" Sun Shaozu asked.

Although he had only been in Beijing for two days, Sun Shaozu had already heard a lot about Zhu Jinghong's deeds, and he became more and more curious about this man.

"You didn't see Jiang Qingsheng following behind like a slave, who else could he be if he weren't this man?"

Wu Changhui's words were obviously ridiculing Jiang Qingsheng, and from this he also It can be seen that although they are both powerful and noble people, there are always some grievances between them.

"Yesterday, I heard someone said that His Highness Prince Xiang was demoted because of the matter of selecting a concubine, and he was afraid of angering the Holy One."

At this point, Sun Shaozu stopped, and obviously what happened next It's too taboo to say that.

"What even?" Wu Changhui asked.

"I'm afraid I won't even be able to protect the king," Sun Shaozu said in a low voice, even though there was no one else around.

"If that's the case, do you think Jiang Qingsheng would still be so flattering if he met him?" Wu Changhui asked with a smile, scorning Sun Shaozu's statement.

In Wu Changhui's view, Zhu Jinghong kept making big and small mistakes, and now he is still named a prince, and he can even farm on Shanglinyuan on behalf of the emperor. His holy family ties are simply outrageous.

Wu Changhui did not want to say more, but he warned future generations to have more contact with this man.

Although he, Wu Changhui, was dismissed from his official position, he still established himself as An Bo. His eldest son was already serving as a commanding officer in the capital camp, and his grandson only joined the Dragon Imperial Guard last year. The family inheritance remained the same.

“Every day the Fifth Army Mansion inquires, and what should be said will be told truthfully, and what should not be said will not be confessed even if I beat you to death.”

“Don’t worry, I will still tell you the truth at the Fifth Army Mansion. If you have some dignity, it won’t make things too difficult for you.”

Wu Changhui had enemies among the real powerful nobles, and naturally he also had a group of people he was friendly with, so it was not a big problem to get through for Sun Shaozu.

And he must pay attention to this matter, otherwise something happens to Sun Shaozu and he may be implicated.

"Thank you, General"

"I have an appointment with Mr. Jianguo in the afternoon, so I will go back and let's go."

Although Sun Shaozu was rising through the ranks, he said After all, he is just a fourth-grade military attache, and he is not yet qualified to join the upper-class circles.

"General, please come first.I want to see more of my humble job." Sun Shaozu was very self-aware.

"Well, you young people should learn more and see more."

Farewell to Wu Changhui, Sun Shaozu turned his eyes back to the school grounds. , but he still stared at Zhu Jinghong on the sentry tower.

He is a smart and capable man. He just said that Zhu Jinghong would be demoted, but he was just hiding his clumsiness in front of Wu Changhui.

He should be smart. He will be smart when he should be stupid, and he will be stupid when he should be stupid, so he can always seize the opportunity to rise to the top.

Due to the collapse of the situation in the northwest, Sun Shaozu felt that his future was slim, and now he is eager to find a backer. He can only continue on the road of glory.

And Zhu Jinghong in front of him is the best supporter.

For one thing, this man likes martial arts, and his grandson Shaozu is also a professional. Secondly, since this man is young, naive and easy to cheat, he is more likely to succeed.

Sun Shaozu thought it was normal for Zhu Jinghong to cheat, because Zhu Jinghong had been reckless for more than ten years. No one who came here would think that he has been pretending since he was a child.

So Zhu Jinghong is very grateful that his predecessor has been reckless for more than ten years and has fully established his personality so that he can easily take over. He has been consistent for more than ten years. His "recklessness" will not make anyone doubt him, this is the true example of people planting trees for the shade.

Looking at Zhu Jinghong who was dressed in civilian clothes but still high-spirited, Sun Shaozu felt that he should go in to see the ceremony. /p>

Although he is a dignified commander, it is not easy for him to meet a prince like Zhu Jinghong. Today's opportunity cannot be missed.

But at this moment, Zhu Jinghong is around. There were so many people that it would be too abrupt to go directly to greet them, so Sun Shaozu could only step aside and wait and see what happened.

After a few minutes, Zhu Jinghong set off to walk down the guard tower, accompanied by Hou Jing, Jiang Qingsheng and others. There was no chance for Sun Shaozu to speak alone.

After encouraging Jiang Qingsheng, Zhu Jinghong left Yulin Zuowei and planned to visit Yulin Youwei next.

While he was wandering around Shanglin Garden, the emperor in the Qianqing Palace finally got up and started to move after reading today's memorial.

The situation in the northwest was still a mess, and he had to consider another matter. Who should be sent to the northwest governor's war?

The Northwest War will be a big war. In addition to the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Xingdu Division, the Qinghai Xingdu Division will also send troops to participate in the war.

Several capital divisions in Shaanxi and Sichuan, as well as soldiers and horses drawn from the Beijing camp, will also be involved in the battle.

Such a large number of troops must cooperate to fight, and high-level generals must be sent to suppress the situation. To put it simply, only You can choose from among the governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Office.

Although there are ten governors in total, excluding the older ones who are in poor health and those who have other errands, there are only four candidates. There are only five people.

The selection of governor must be comprehensively considered.

Compared with the importance of the situation in the northwest, Jinling is a county. It seems unreasonable to cause chaos among the people.So important.

Liang Qian, the governor of Jinling, is now vigorously investigating the case. More than twenty gentry have been convicted and arrested, and news has been coming one after another in recent days.

As for the rioters who committed the crime, hundreds of them have been captured, including almost a thousand family members, and the Jinling Dusi is taking them to Annan.

Of course there are more than a few hundred rioters, but if they are really caught, Liyang will lose half of its population, and neither the Liyang County government nor the local gentry will be willing.

Moving half of Liyang’s population would indeed be a very troublesome and complicated matter, and Liang Qian knew the appropriateness of it very well.

Catching the troublemakers should be done in moderation, but digging out the troublemakers behind the scenes is a job that must be done seriously.

Liang Qian would submit memorials every day. On the one hand, he would explain the current situation, and at the same time, he would ask for instructions on how to handle the next step. What stood out was caution.

Because Jinling and Luoyang are far apart, it takes a long time to request instructions and give instructions, which also reduces the efficiency of work. It was impossible to complete the case a year ago.

Although the case progressed slowly, it also made the gentry all over the world see that the imperial court's determination to implement the Qing Dynasty could not be stopped by making trouble, unless someone raised the flag to rebel.

Rebellion Now that the imperial court is powerful, rebellion is tantamount to seeking death. If you really have the courage to do something else, wouldn't it be better.

"You mean the old man is still wearing civilian clothes"

Whatever the emperor likes to hear, Cheng Ying will tell him to relieve his boredom. Today, of course, it is Zhu Jinghong's business again.

But Cheng Ying did not expect that the emperor's focus was on clothes, rather than today's training of the Northern Four Guards.

"Exactly"

"Didn't his uniform be given away the day before yesterday?" Zhu Xianming asked rhetorically.

"Yes, but the Thirteenth Master has not changed in the past two days and is still wearing the same clothes as before."

Hearing this, Zhu Xianming immediately sneered, "What does he mean?" What do you mean by this bastard?”

“I don’t know,” Cheng Ying stuttered.

"Send someone early tomorrow morning to take back all his clothes to prevent him from being embarrassed," Zhu Xianming said coldly.

"Yes"

There is no shame in wearing common clothes, but it would be shameful if worn in formal royal occasions.

The day after tomorrow is the Laba Festival, and the royal family will have a routine family banquet. Zhu Xianming was afraid that Zhu Jinghong would "make trouble" at that time, so he ordered someone to collect his clothes.

The clothes were collected, which meant the end of Zhu Jinghong's personal farming. This was also the result of the queen's insistence.

If the crown prince and the sixth son knew that the emperor's father even had to control Zhu Jinghong's clothes, they would definitely be jealous.

Of course Zhu Jinghong didn't know this. After a busy morning, he embarked on the return journey.

Hou Jing, Lu Yuxin and others accompanied him, and they sent him to the place where he was farming before he was greeted by Zhu Jinghong and left.

There is Baochai in his residence. It’s really not easy for these people to go.Well, it's naturally better to get rid of them early.

Whistling with his hands behind his back, he walked along the dirt road to the front. There were various warehouse buildings on both sides. Eunuchs passed by from time to time, and they all greeted Zhu Jinghong when they saw him.

"I have met the Thirteenth Master"

Looking at the man who appeared in front of him, Zhu Jinghong felt very strange. He only thought that this man was unfamiliar and sinister.

Sun Shaozu never imagined that Zhu Jinghong would be displeased when he appeared for the first time, and his first impression was particularly bad.

Looking at the man saluting in front of him, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Who are you?"

"Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, Sun Shaozu, commander of the Yongning Guards of the Western Capital of Chen'an"

Even though he was not familiar with Red Mansion, he still knew the name Sun Shaozu and knew that this man was a famous domestic violence man.

"Commander Yongning Guard, Sun Shaozu"

"Oh, it turns out to be Commander Sun, what do you want from me?" Zhu Jinghong asked calmly.

Sun Shaozu replied, "I have heard about the reputation of the prince for a long time. Fortunately, I met you by chance today, so I came out to see you. I am really rude, so please forgive me."

I met you by chance. If you can meet me by chance in this place, Zhu Jinghong will believe it. That's weird.

Remembering that this person had ulterior motives, Zhu Jinghong replied, "My reputation has become a joke now, so what else is there to do with my reputation?"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Everyone in the middle and lower ranks does not praise you for your kindness and righteousness. Now your reputation is even greater than usual."

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong just smiled. The superficial praise from the military people is of direct use to tell the truth. Not big.

"Commander Sun has returned from the northwest. I think he has a good grasp of the local situation. I wonder if he can tell me about it."

If you want people to follow you, what benefits can you get? If you can get people to follow you, you will naturally get promoted and make a fortune.

How military commanders and soldiers get promoted and get rich, they will naturally fight and win battles, and now a war is about to begin in the northwest.

Since Sun Shaozu has been in the northwest, it is perfect to find him to understand the situation.

Sun Shaozu was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Jinghong's inquiry. He was worried that he could not talk to him.

"Reporting to the prince, I also know something about it, now in the northwest"

Sun Shaozu told it in a clear and logical manner, which made Zhu Jinghong feel his first-class business ability, secretly thinking that if there is a chance, this person may Can be used once.

A few minutes later, after Sun Shaozu gave a brief explanation, Zhu Jinghong said, "Commander Sun, you have such a clear understanding of the situation in the northwest and have unique insights. Now that the war in the northwest is about to begin, I think it will be time for you to make contributions."

p>

However, Zhu Jinghong's words touched on Sun Shaozu's pain points. Due to the annihilation of Kushu Fort and the turmoil in the northwest, his commander was likely to be deposed.

As for the successor, his subordinates, commanders, colleagues, and officials can all take over the job smoothly.

But how could Sun Shaozu say these words? He was undoubtedly resentful, and if the emperor knew that he was seeking death.

"I have been wandering for half my life, and my life has been wasted. Now that I am praised by the prince, it is like meeting a close friend."

I have been wandering for half my life. This time, Zhu Jinghong felt that something sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who said it. Pass.

I just praised this guy and he was moved like this. It is too frivolous and unstable. How can such a person be a good commander

Generals in other places , there may be people with wine bags and rice bags in high positions, but there is no way that idiots will be sent to the position below Anxi Xingdusi, unless the people in the Ministry of War are crazy.

So Sun Shaozu's behavior made Zhu Jinghong deeply puzzled. He couldn't figure out whether the man in front of him went crazy after arriving in Beijing.

Zhu Jinghong regarded Sun Shaozu as a madman. How could he know that others also regarded him as a "fool", so he expressed his feelings so straightforwardly.

I just heard Sun Shaozu continue to say, "Now that something has happened to me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to serve the court again."

"What happened?" Zhu Jinghong asked casually.

It’s really easy to deceive, Sun Shaozu thought to himself.

"I was in the northwest, one month ago"

Next, Sun Shaozu recounted his previous experiences and current difficulties, and finally said with emotion, "The wrath of the Holy One is like thunder. How can I be so weak?"

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong probably understood the purpose of this guy, and he was probably looking for him just to plead for mercy.

Now that the purpose is clear, you have to look at the value of the other party and whether it is worth interceding with him.

"You also have your difficulties," Zhu Jinghong replied, which was tantamount to throwing a hook at Sun Shaozu.

When Sun Shaozu heard this, he was overjoyed and secretly thought that the man in front of him had taken the bait. At this moment, they both treated each other as a fish.

Sun Shaozu said with sadness on his face, "I am not greedy for power, I just hate that what I have learned is wasted and I am unable to contribute to the court."

"Yes, your ability is indeed a pity." A little more." When he said this, Zhu Jinghong looked at several young eunuchs approaching not far away.

Just when Sun Shaozu was about to strike while the iron was hot, the eunuch came to Zhu Jinghong and reported, "The prince and princess are here. The princess ordered the servants to wait for you to go back."

"Okay, I understand." Zhu Jinghong responded. road.

Then he looked at Sun Shaozu and said, "Commander Sun will be here today."

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was about to leave, Sun Shaozu immediately replied, "Farewell to the prince"

After watching Zhu Jinghong go away, Sun Shaozu turned around and left.

But Zhu Jinghong, who had already gone far, remembered Sun Shaozu in his heart, secretly thinking that he might be useful in the future.

As for interceding with this person, Zhu Jinghong has not thought about it for the time being.

For one thing, he himself is still "in jail". Not only does it seem ridiculous to help others, but he also stretches his hands too far.

Secondly, even if you want to use this person, you must fully understand him and take action when necessary and critical.Only in this way can we achieve better results.

As for the hut in Shanglin Garden, Zhu Yunsheng came with two attendants and a large group of maids and eunuchs, and the place was crowded with people both inside and outside.

Standing in front of Zhu Yunsheng, Baochai asked with a smile, "Third sister, you sneaked out again today, so you are not afraid of your mother punishing you."

At this time, Xiangyun interrupted and said, "Mother, my wife, you sneaked out again." This is wrong, the princess did not sneak out today, but came here on the order of the Queen."

When she spoke, Zhu Yunsheng had a bit of pride on his face, which made Baochai Not surprisingly.

"Sister-in-law Thirteen, I am here to deliver a message on the order of my mother," Zhu Yunsheng said.

"I don't know what the queen mother's instructions are," Baochai asked.

"The day after tomorrow there will be a family banquet during the Laba Festival, my mother asked you to come too."

"Thank you so much, my mother, for your love." Baochai thanked her solemnly.

Immediately she asked, "For such a mission, you only need to ask the palace servants to convey the order. Why do you, the third sister, bother to come?"

Daiyu, who was tightly wrapped in a cloak, stepped forward. Come and say, "How could the princess not know that our princess is building a plank road in secret to visit Chencang?"

"You are the only one who is smart." Baochai nodded dotingly on Daiyu's forehead. Of course she knew that Zhu Yunsheng was taking advantage of the opportunity. Come out and play.

Looking at Baochai Jingchai clothed in cloth, Zhu Yunsheng asked, "Sister-in-law Thirteen, didn't my mother send someone to deliver the crown clothes yesterday? Why are you still dressed like this?"
