A strategic meeting in the Qianqing Palace was chaired by Zhu Youtang, attended by Wang Yue and Zhang Zhou, and lasted for more than two hours.
Xiao Jing then sent the two of them out of the palace.
"Mr. Zhang, look at this battle, you can win it"
Wang Yue now has a mysterious trust in Zhang Zhou.
Since you, Zhang Zhou, can estimate when the Tatars will arrive, then you can also test whether you can win this battle. It should be logical and easy.
Zhang Zhou smiled.
How can I test it for you when it has never happened in history?
Besides, my butterfly has begun to flutter its big wings. At this point in history, very biased phenomena have begun to appear. Crossroads.
"Shilang Wang, even if I can sometimes break through the secrets of heaven, this battle has not yet been fought. As for how to proceed and what step it will take, you need to personally fight. There is nothing I can do about it. ."
Zhang Zhou's words made Wang Yue somewhat anxious.
The war has not happened, but the prediction will happen. I don’t know whether it will come or not, and I can’t tell the result.
To sum it up in one word.
Wait
I’m afraid that the Ming Dynasty’s frontier soldiers can’t afford to wait, but I, an old man, can’t afford to wait.
Zhang Zhoudao: "However, the intention of His Majesty and Ma Shangshu, Wang Shilang, should be well aware that this battle cannot be like the battle of Helan Mountain. It is up to you to make overall arrangements. When the time comes, Wang Shilang can use all the troops." The horses are just a few garrison troops around Piantou Pass, and there are not many generals at their disposal. It depends on Wang Shilang's own performance."
Wang Yue thought about it and hurriedly expressed his position. The responsibility for the battle lies entirely with Lao Chen. The victory will be attributed to Mr. Zhang, but the defeat will not be his responsibility."
Zhang Zhou smiled and looked at Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing was also smiling.
"Shilang Wang, that's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me. Since this battle was predicted by me, if we lose, I am completely responsible."
Zhang Zhou is not a person. The blame-shifter.
In order to ensure the victory of this battle, he also contributed his suggestions and efforts, just to ensure that he would have his own share of the military merits of winning the battle.
Having not yet passed the Jinshi exam, trying to gain military merit first sounds very good.
Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are joking. As long as the Tatars come according to the time you calculated, it will be a great achievement. As for the follow-up, it depends on Mr. Wang."
Xiao Jing understands this clearly.
If the army is defeated, even if you want to take responsibility, do you think His Majesty will agree?
And the man named Wang
Don’t forget it. People have told you exactly when and where the Tatars will come. If you still can't win, you might as well not come back.
The emperor's trust is not something you can use as a perfunctory excuse or as an excuse. Negotiation chips.
Wang Yue felt the pressure instantly. He said, "Mr. Zhang, seeing that you usually come and go, there are few followers around you. Although my little granddaughter is born rough, she is good at fists, kicks, swords, guns, swords and halberds." , not as good asLet her stay by your side and protect you. ”
Zhang Zhou thought to himself, that’s called being born vulgar
That face, that figure, that cute and cute look
It’s really easy to inspire a man’s protection Desire, the problem is, from strength to close combat skills, this girl is one of the best in the world.
Who is protecting whom?
Zhang Zhou has not yet returned to his thoughts. /p>
“This is good. "Xiao Jing on the side responded with a smile.
Zhang Zhou glared at him.
You Xiao Jing couldn't tell that he planned to give me his little granddaughter as a gift< /p>
Thank you for still telling me that you should be careful not to be corrupted by others. Now you have double standards. What you are guarding against is Yang Peng giving me gifts
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I'm here She has a family and a room, but her granddaughter is a famous lady, so it is inconvenient. "
Wang Yue said hurriedly, "My granddaughter has always admired Mr. Zhang's style. She also learned that Mr. Zhang's poetic talent is so good that she can follow him. She does not ask for status, but only asks for his acceptance. ”
Now even if Xiao Jing pressed hard, he could tell that Wang Yue was going to give his granddaughter a gift.
Even if Xiao Jing knew that Wang Yue was a person who liked to curry favor with powerful people. , I didn’t expect to do anything so, and the smile on Xiao Jing’s face was somewhat embarrassing.
“I’m afraid your Majesty won’t agree. ”
Zhang Zhou looked at Xiao Jing with a smile, meaning that you should come out and help me refuse, just as you said before that you would not let me accept the gift.
Xiao Jing seemed to Maybe he got it wrong, so he tried to say, "Then we will ask His Majesty for instructions later and see what His Majesty's opinion is. ”
Zhang Zhou said, “It’s such a small matter, so there’s no need to bother asking Your Majesty for instructions.”
Wang Yue seemed to be very enthusiastic about this and said with a smile, “Excuse me, Eunuch Xiao.”
Wang Yue is very insistent.
If he gave his granddaughter to Zhang Zhou, he would still be suspected of giving a gift. Others would say that he was dishonest and sacrificed his granddaughter's happiness. How can they say that to you, Mr. Wang? With such high prestige in the court, don't you feel blushing if your granddaughter is given away like this?
But if the emperor had spoken, the nature of the matter would be different.
This matter is different. If it can be completed, Wang Yue will still have face.
"Okay, okay, we will mention it to His Majesty later. "
The three of them continued to walk towards the palace gate.
Zhang Zhou suddenly asked, "Wang Shilang, have you written any poems recently?"
Wang Yue was puzzled "What do you mean, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Recently, I want to open a bookstore and publish some books. After thinking about it, it is safer to publish some poetry collections first. I don't want Wang Shilang to do this." Do me a little favor"
"Uh"
Wang Yue is also thinking about it.
Now that the emperor appreciates you so much, and you have to publish a collection of poems, all I can say is You want to find an excuse to ask me to help you, which is mutually beneficial, so as not to always appear to be me begging you.
This is about mutual help.wait.
"Yes." Wang Yue said, "In the past few months, I have been in the northwest, and I have been crazy about being a teenager and composed a few poems. If Mr. Zhang intends to publish them, I will show my shame. ”
Zhang Zhou said, “I would like to express my gratitude to Wang Shilang.”
Zhang Zhou really plans to publish a collection of poems recently.
Although he also knew that publishing the storybook was the most important thing.
But the problem is that opening a bookstore in partnership with the prince and doing those things seems too high-end.
This market also needs to test the waters first. It happens to be that spring is about to come, and there are many students in the capital. In addition, his previous peach blossom poem has been spread throughout the capital. No matter what others say, he As long as a collection of poems is published under your own name, many people will definitely buy it. Even if it is not a popular book, the purpose of testing the waters will be achieved by letting those people buy it back and criticize it.
This is more direct and effective than directly printing scripts.
If you add Wang Yue's undiscovered poems, it will be even more gimmick.
This time Zhang Zhou did not go to the Wenhua Palace to meet Zhu Houzhao, but left the palace directly with Xiao Jing leading the way.
When Xiao Jing returned to Qianqing Palace to report, he saw Zhu Youtang using a very thin bamboo tube to drink something from the bowl, his voice purring.
Xiao Jing didn't move forward to look, but from a distance he saw that the thing was white and sticky, like goat's milk.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard today, what do you think of this?"
Dai Yi was waiting on Zhu Youtang.
This meeting lasted from morning to noon. The emperor did not give a banquet or even eat. After noon, Zhu Youtang finally had time to eat something to replenish his strength.
Zhu Youtang put down the thing used to suck food, smiled and said, "Yes, what's the point of this thing?"
Dai Yi smiled and said, "This is called milk tea. It's the same as grassland The koumiss on the table looks a bit like it. It is mixed with tea, goat's milk, and some seasonings. The recipe was given by Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang said that His Majesty has always disliked goat's milk because it is not conducive to relieving the toxins in the body. Let me change this way of drinking, and also make some adjustments with goat's milk, horse's milk, etc. You can't always drink one kind, you can even drink milk, but there is no such thing as milk in the palace."
"Milk tea"
Zhu Youtang smiled, as if he was still savoring the deliciousness, "Send some to the queen, prince, and princess, with a little sweet tea flavor, they should like it. "
"Yes."
Dai Yi took the order.
Originally Dai Yi wanted to say that this was all for His Majesty’s treatment and physical fitness, but when he thought about how delicious the food was, the emperor thought of sharing it with his family, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Besides, there is no shortage of ingredients in the palace.
"Are you leaving the palace?" Zhu Youtang then raised his head and looked at Xiao Jing, who had been waiting for instructions.
Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang and Wang Shilang have left the palace. On the way, Wang Shilang mentioned that he wanted a little granddaughter who practices martial arts to follow them.Mr. Zhang is surrounded by thoughtful people. ”
“Well, yes. "
Zhu Youtang thought it was a good idea without even thinking about it.
Dai Yi reminded, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that Shilang Wang has other motives for doing this. "
Zhu Youtang was startled at first, and then he realized that Wang Yue's intention was to give gifts, and he also gave his little granddaughter as a gift. He couldn't help but sigh, "Wang Weining is also a famous general in the northwest, so I don't think about this." Why should Bingkuan use his granddaughter to protect such crooked things? Can’t I send someone to protect him?"
Both Dai Yi and Xiao Jing were thinking, Your Majesty, you have finally figured it out
That guy Wang Weining is just a guy who clings to the powerful.
Zhu Youtang said, "Go and tell Wang Weining that it's okay to send your granddaughter as a gift, but it's only temporary. If he can win the battle in the northwest, this girl will be given to you." Bingkuan stays, otherwise"
Dai Yi reminded again, "Your Majesty, you are not tormenting the Wang Shilang, you are torturing Mr. Zhang. ”
“Ah, is that so?”
Zhu Youtang thought about it, and it was the same. He sent people to Zhang Zhou, and he could only watch from a distance and not play with them. What else are you waiting for? After the war, if he loses, he will be sent back.
This is to roast the hot-blooded Zhang Zhou on the fire.
Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty, if you send him. Zhang Mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to take her back back."
What he meant was that once a person is sent there, he will be famous. There is no reason to send his granddaughter away and then take him back. Who would do it at that time? Dare to marry a woman who has been given away
You still have to be reasonable in doing things.
Zhu Youtang took a long breath and said, "I originally wanted to help them match up. A gifted marriage, after all, Wang Weining's granddaughter cannot be completely nameless. But as you said, let him send the people there and let him lead the troops in the northwest with peace of mind. ”
“If they win, I will give them a marriage, and let him marry his granddaughter with great grace. If he does not win or does not meet expectations, I will leave it to Bingkuan and let him see what happens.” It is arranged that I have to go back to rest, and I will leave the matter of Zhu's memorial to you."
The emperor issued the imperial edict.
Afterwards, Xiao Jing sent someone to Wang Yue's house to inform him, and On the same day, Wang Yue packed some things that looked like dowry for his granddaughter, and drove them to Zhang's house in a carriage.
As soon as Zhang Zhou arrived home, he received a big job. People entered the yard.
When Zhang Zhou came out after hearing the news, he saw Miss Wang Mingshan standing in the front yard, looking around, her eyes full of curiosity about the new environment, and there was something similar in her eyes.
It’s like cheering from the bottom of my heart
I can finally live a different life
Zhang Zhou is wondering if this Miss Wang is. There is something wrong with my brain
Zhang Zhou walked over, and when Wang Mingshan saw Zhang Zhou, she immediately knelt down.
“No need to be polite, Miss Wang, welcome. ”
After Zhang Zhou finished speaking, he thought about it and found that this word seemed not to be used well.
At this time, Xia Zhi also came out of the inner courtyard.
Zhang Zhou said, "Go, call that bastard Zhang Jun out and tell him that the martial arts coach I hired for him is here."
Xia Zhi looked at it with wide eyes, confused. Then he seemed to suddenly realize that this should be the concubine that the master had returned. She quickly turned around and went in to inform the mistress of the inner courtyard.
For a maid, she is not responsible for her master, but takes orders from her wife.
Wang Mingshan was first arranged to arrange accommodation.
We don’t live in the backyard, but in the wing room across the courtyard. Anyway, there are many rooms in the third courtyard, so just free up one and it can be occupied with a little tidying up.
Zhang Zhou arrived at the inner courtyard.
A family of women and children were lining up to look at him.
"Boy, practice martial arts well in the future and don't let down your father's and my expectations," Zhang Zhou said.
Zhang Jun looked at his mother and then at his sister, a little unsure of the situation.
Jiang Pingyu said, "Go in and do your homework, sister, and you will accompany them."
"Yes."
Han Qing took them there Over there in the study room.
Zhang Zhou and Jiang Pingyu entered the back hall.
"Husband, what is going on? Are you saying that you want to have a new sister?" Jiang Pingyu was not too repelled, but as long as she had feelings for her husband, when she encountered her husband taking a concubine, she would Regarding this matter, there will still be thorns in my heart.
Zhang Zhou said, "I don't know if that counts. I don't even know what it means."
"Husband" Jiang Pingyu was also a little confused.
Everyone has been brought back, but you say you don’t know
Zhang Zhou said, "Actually, this is the case. This Miss Wang, whose maiden name is Mingshan, is Wang Weining, who was once the Minister of War and Wei. The daughter of Ningbo Wang Yue's second son is also his granddaughter. She has always practiced martial arts, and Wang Weining likes to give gifts to powerful people. If I don't accept the gift, he will send his granddaughter over, saying that he will protect me. I'll be a guard."
Jiang Pingyu said in surprise, "With her background, if she wants to look after her husband's home and care for her, then she won't finish her words. It means, how will she get married in the future?
But then she seemed to understand that Wang Yue had no intention of marrying his granddaughter to anyone else. He said that he was going to be a guard, which was just an excuse. In fact, he just gave his granddaughter to Zhang Zhou was Teng's concubine.
"I'll make the arrangements." Jiang Pingyu stood up.
Zhang Zhou said, "What are you going to arrange?"
Jiang Pingyu was startled, and then she thought, shouldn't she arrange a consummation of the marriage?
Zhang Zhou didn't He said angrily, "Madam, don't think too much about it. This Miss Wang is from a famous family. Even if I want to, she won't agree. This will have to wait until something happens in the future. If everything goes as I expected, you can It’s not too late to make arrangements.”
“When she comes to our house, I usually ask her to put on men’s clothes and follow me around to protect me. Then I teach Xiaojun boxing and kicking skills, so that I don’t have to go outside. Please kill two birds with one stone, sir.”
Jiang Pingyu was somewhat speechless after hearing this.
My husband is using Miss Wang as free labor.
This beautiful girl comes here to run errands and do odd jobs for you, just to save you money
"Husband, this is not very good," Jiang Pingyu was a little confused. fear.
This stinginess has reached a new level.
Zhang Zhouyizheng said, "I don't want it, Lao Wang still insists on sending it away. Now even His Majesty knows about it, can I still send her back? I can only watch but can't get started. Find some work for her." There is nothing wrong with letting her get in touch with society. "Please remember to bookmark the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
