Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youtang was listening to Xiao Jing conveying Zhang Zhou’s opinions on the use of troops.
"Bingkuan is saying that there is no need to worry too much about the war on the West Road, right?" Zhu Youtang actually began to feel relieved after hearing this.
What others say is useless. Since it was said by Zhang Zhou, it is very effective, just like a reassurance.
Xiao Jing said, "Yes, Your Majesty. He also said that the key to using troops lies in the Pianguan line. If this battle can be won, it will be too late to transfer Wang Weining to Ningxia, and it is very likely that the Tatars will surrender without fighting." "Retreat"
Zhu Youtang sighed, "But in fact, if the war in the middle encounters trouble, the Tatars are likely to advance in two directions. The three sides and Xuanda will face unprecedented pressure, which means that now The success or failure of the war all depends on Wang Yue alone."
Xiao Jing could feel it from the emperor's words.
Not only did the emperor's anxiety not lessen, it seemed to have worsened.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang also said that the war in Yizhou, Liaodong may involve cheating." Although Xiao Jing didn't want to mention it, he still said it.
Zhu Youtang sneered and said, "Let me just say that although they are Duoyan Sanwei, they are not so easy to deal with. They can kill more than a hundred people casually. The northwest has long been peaceful and sent people to investigate."
Dai Yi quickly reminded, "Your Majesty, the war is not over yet, should we be cautious?"
The war is not over yet, and it is necessary to investigate the matter of taking merit in Liaodong. Obviously there are some Overdone.
"Yes."
Zhu Youtang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Don't publicize this matter to the outside world. We will send someone after the war subsides. Where is Bingkuan"< /p>
Xiao Jing said, "Mr. Zhang has gone back to his hometown. He has to go to Gongyuan tonight to take part in the second exam tomorrow."
"Why hasn't Bingkuan finished the exam? If you are tired of waiting, please step aside and let me think about it again."
Dai Yi and other eunuchs withdrew from Qianqing Palace.
Wei Bin seemed to sigh with emotion, "This Mr. Zhang is really capable. Your Majesty will believe whatever he says. In the battle of Yizhou, Liaodong, there has not been a detailed investigation, so he dared to say that it was a risk." "Gong"
Dai Yi glared back and said coldly, "If you can hit the mark on so many things, not all of them, just one or two, your Majesty will be able to obey your words. Don't think that our family doesn't know about you." What's going on in my heart? If I reveal this, I won't be able to live with it."
"Yes."
Wei Bin quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
What Dai Yi means is that Wei Bin has a close relationship with Ren Liang, the eunuch who guards Liaodong.
At the level of the garrison eunuchs of Jiubian, they basically have a strong backing in the court, and since Ren Liang and Wei Bin are friends, whatever benefits Ren Liang has in Liaodong will be shared by Wei Bin. Some.
Now that Ren Liang may be convicted of "taking credit" and Wei Bin's interests are affected, he will show his emotions towards the emperor's trust in Zhang Zhou.
"Since the battle in Liaodong can be regarded as having a result, there is no need to worry about the follow-up. It's a head-turn. If we can't win,The matter is serious."
Dai Yi was also very worried.
Xiao Jing said, "Mr. Zhang has always been very confident in Wang Weining. I don't expect there will be any deviations. If there are deviations, We should also strengthen defenses everywhere. "
Dai Yi shook his head and said, "Strengthen defenses at Juyong, Zijing, and Daoma. If we haven't taken any action yet, who dares to say that things on this battlefield will develop as expected, especially you. As I said just now, Mr. Zhang expected that Wang Weining would not send troops as usual. His Majesty’s fists were clenched at that time. Maybe you didn’t see that His Majesty was not anxious."
"What should I do?" Chen Kuanye He quickly came over and asked.
"Huh, what can we people do? At least the Holy Master is still in the capital. Even if the northwest is in chaos, it is expected that the capital will not be disrupted."
Zhang Mansion .
Zhang Zhou came back in a carriage, and his family had prepared a new test basket for him to take the second exam in the afternoon.
"Master"
When Jiang Pingyu saw her husband come back, she changed her name.
As Zhang Zhou was about to take part in the examination, he would be an official regardless of whether he passed or not. Jiang Pingyu had already decided. Make up your mind to be a good wife to Zhang Zhou.
"I will come back and have a look. I have to go in before dark, which will take less than two hours. ”
Zhang Zhou looked very urgent.
Jiang Pingyu helped Zhang Zhou take off his coat and hang it aside. After all, it was February and the weather was still very cold.
p>
Jiang Pingyu said, "The water has been boiled, and my sister has already prepared it and is waiting in her room. The younger sister from the Wang family has gone back to her residence these two days. She said she was the concubine approved by the master and didn't ask any questions. ”
It was Zhang Zhou who asked Wang Mingshan to return to the palace.
Wang Yue is now fighting in the northwest. If Lao Wang messes up and loses the battle, Zhang Zhou doesn’t want to We are bound to Wang Yue.
"Yes. "Zhang Zhou nodded, suddenly smiled and said, "Madam, why weren't you prepared?"
While speaking, Zhang Zhou leaned his head over and sniffed Jiang Pingyu's temples. "It smells good." "
Jiang Pingyu's face turned slightly red. It was obvious that she had prepared something, but she was too embarrassed to say it herself if her husband hadn't mentioned it.
"Xiaojun ""
"The child went to study, and Suisui went to play with Xia Zhi. ”
“That’s good, don’t let them bother me, make a quick decision and strive to promote my Zhang family as soon as possible. The prosperity of the population depends on this.” ”
Jiang Pingyu stared at her husband with wide eyes.
The husband seemed a bit heroic. He went to the Gongyuan and took the examination, and then he began to multiply the family. The plan is worrying
"Master, you have been away for the past two days, and a letter has come. ”
When Jiang Pingyu spoke, Zhang Zhou was already ready to finish washing and do things quickly.
It was time to hand in homework when he came back from Gongyuan.
"What letters?"
"Two letters. One was written by my uncle. He also asked someone to send a message, saying that he would come to the capital soon, and also asked him toMake arrangements for a reception. "When Jiang Pingyu mentioned Zhang Ye, her expression was evasive.
Zhang Zhou scolded, "He was beaten silly by his mother-in-law, right? Where is he going? It's none of my business. I guess he's here to divide it." If he asks someone to come again, just tell him that the two families are no longer involved."
"There is another letter from Shouning Hou. "
While talking, Jiang Pingyu gave both letters to Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou tore up Zhang Ye's letter and threw it into the brazier without reading it. Everyone knows what's in it.
He must have known that he had obtained the position of Jinyiwei Qianhu and wanted to share the benefits. Judging from Zhang Zhou's consistent understanding of such snobbish family members, it is estimated. You have to argue with him by saying things like "The eldest brother is the father and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother", "If there is a position in the family, the eldest grandson should inherit it", etc., and it is very likely that you will bring him a village elder, clan leader, etc. to make the decision in person. Make it clear.
Zhang Zhou thought to himself
If he was just a lifter, he might still have to worry about the cooked duck flying, but with his current status, he should just say something to this big brother. Even if he and Zhang Ye's father come back to life, it will be useless.
"Okay, you go to the room first. I'll come here as soon as possible."
Zhang Zhou read Zhang Heling's letter. It probably meant that after he finished the examination, he would be invited to a banquet at Shouning Hou Mansion. Zhang Zhou thought to himself, by then, Jianchang The earthquake in Wei has happened, and whether you look for me or not can't change the outcome.
I really thought that I was just like everyone else, and that you were always there for me.
Even your brother is here. I didn’t know how long it took to commit the crime, and I was asked to talk about it after the trial.
As expected, like brothers, like brothers.
It all depends on having a sister. Support me.
Otherwise, these living brothers will really not be able to survive in the Ming Dynasty's noble circle
Zhang Zhou can only stay for more than an hour.
The matter is relatively "urgent"
After I came back, I was just packing up to leave. I was still busy here, and the voice of Li Chun came from outside: "Master, the British master is waiting."
"Let him wait for a while"
Zhang Lun came to bother him even if he had nothing to do.
As soon as he thought about it, he knew that the British father should also know that he was in trouble recently. The spring breeze was proud, and he took the opportunity to close it again.
Thinking about it again, luckily Old Man Jiang didn't come.
When everything was over, the sun was setting, Zhang Zhou stood up, and Han Qing returned. Can't stay.
Jiang Pingyu, who had already left the embroidered couch, brought ginseng tea to Zhang Zhou and said with a gentle and charming look, "Thank you for your hard work, sir." ”
“It’s not hard, it should be. "Zhang Zhou smiled.
At this time, he is still cheering with his wife.
He will not drink ginseng tea, mainly because he can't taste the taste. He now His body is young and strong, and he doesn't need to take supplements. Unlike Zhu Youtang, Zhang Zhou went straight out of the yard after tidying up.forecourt.
Zhang Lun was sitting on the stone bench in the yard. When he saw him, he quickly stood up and saluted, "Sir." "Zhang Zhou picked up the dry cloth on the table and threw it to the ground.
Zhang Lun said, "Yes. My grandfather said that before nightfall today, martial law will be enforced in the capital. I would like to ask you."
"I don't know." Zhang Zhou said, "On the matter of martial law, Your Majesty has not asked my opinion, but he thinks that the situation in the northwest is changing, so that in case the Tatars suddenly attack the capital, the British prince must be very experienced in such matters."
"My grandfather still wanted to do this. Let me tell you about Zhang Zhongcheng, the governor of Liaodong."
Zhang Lun's words were quite straightforward.
He was just a young man, and he didn’t understand anything about politics. Even if Zhang Mao asked him to ask him, he wouldn’t think about the reasons behind it.
Zhang Zhou said, "Zhang Yu, the former Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, was transferred to Liaodong in August of the 10th year of Hongzhi. He was from Wuqiao, North Zhili. He has some connections with your old Zhang family. In the past, when he was the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, he was also related to your grandfather. Get very close, right? Tell your grandfather, I don’t know this person, and I don’t know much about what he did. I don’t want to get involved in the matter of rewarding merit or punishing crime.
Zhang Yu was the former Yin of Shuntian Prefecture. When he was in the capital, he was very close to Zhang Mao.
To put it bluntly, it is a combination of interests.
From Ren Liang to Zhang Yu, they all came to Liaodong to take up posts at the edge of the town because of their connections. When they arrived in a place where the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, the rules in the army were different from those in ordinary official circles. Giving gifts to superiors and subordinates was a trivial matter. There are so many secrets behind it, it is difficult for Zhang Zhou to figure it out just by reading history books.
"Zhang Lun, since the capital is under martial law, you will go out less often in the future"
"I have to take part in the examination here, so I won't send you off"
Zhang Lun was going to say something else. Seeing Zhang Zhou's impatient look on him, he seemed to have a bit of a temper as a young man.
If you don’t let me say it, I won’t say it. It’s not what I want to know anyway.
Zhang Zhou had just gone in to have something to eat. He originally wanted to take a look at the military map of the northwest, but Sun Shangqi had come to the house in person to urge him, "Sir, it's late, you should leave."
