North of the city, outside Desheng Gate.
The altar for worshiping heaven was set up early that morning. Under the dispatch of Bao Guo Gong Zhu Hui, three thousand soldiers from the capital camp had completed their formation. At the same time, they were going to Xuan Mansion with Zhang Zhou. The ten main cannons are also neatly arranged.
Zhang Mao and other honorable ministers arrived early to watch the ceremony. In terms of civil servants, only Li Dongyang and a few middle- and lower-level officials from the Six Ministries were present. The emperor said that he would come in person to bid farewell to Zhang Zhou, but it was not until nearly noon. At that time, the emperor was still missing.
Just when others thought that the emperor was plotting something big with Zhang Zhou again, it was Zhang Zhou who appeared on the scene dressed in the official uniform of a third-grade civil servant.
Everyone greeted Zhang Zhou. Even though many people looked down on Zhang Zhou, Zhang Zhou was now the nominal right minister of the Ministry of War. This rapid rise was the envy of everyone present.
The emperor did not come.
The heaven-sacrifice ceremony before the expedition did not begin. Zhang Zhou went aside with Li Dongyang first. It seemed that Li Dongyang wanted to give Zhang Zhou a few instructions on behalf of the civil servants, but Li Dongyang wanted to know more about the progress of his son's treatment. .
“It’s difficult.” Zhang Zhou’s evaluation was simple and direct.
Li Dongyang said, "Then you shouldn't prescribe medicine at will."
Zhang Zhou said, "Mr. Li Ge, don't you think I'm messing around? The medicines I mentioned are really there." It's effective, but most people don't dare to use it. I know what Mr. Li Ge wants. I can let you live a peaceful life for a few years and give you a grandson. I don't want anything more."
Those words It was too direct and a bit hurtful, so Li Dongyang ignored him.
Zhang Zhou looked smiling, no longer like a doctor treating diseases, but more like a philosopher talking to people. "I am a doctor, or your Majesty asked me to play the role of a doctor, then my My mission is to cure the patient’s disease, and things other than cure are beyond my scope.”
The implication is, whether you want to cure it or not, I didn’t give your son Hualiu disease anyway. brought.
We all know that it is a matter of dying early and dying late. Your son died of illness, how can you still rely on me?
Li Dongyang said, "I even think that you know the difficulty of illness." Only when you need medical treatment can you prescribe that kind of medicine."
"Oh, it turns out that in Mr. Li Ge's mind, I am so miserable."
There was a look in Zhang Zhou's eyes. disappointment.
He understood what Li Dongyang meant. When he found out that Li Zhaoxian's disease could not be cured at all, he would give strong medicine. This would not only preserve his reputation as a miracle doctor in front of the emperor, but also allow the Li family to retreat. Zhang Zhou himself has nothing to lose
"Haha." Zhang Zhou smiled, his eyes falling on Zhang Mao who was laughing with Zhu Huiyan in the distance, "I thought Mr. Li Ge would be different from others. It turns out that there is actually no fundamental difference between Mr. Li Ge and the British father when it comes to concealing illnesses."
Li Dongyang never expected that he would be ridiculed by Zhang Zhou again.
He said to himself, this is also the reason why I don’t care about talking to you.
I always talk with a gun and a stick, talking about youYou are being polite if you don't deserve a beating, but it can be said that you don't understand the rules and don't seem to be serious about getting along with people like us.
But Li Dongyang was really thoughtful, and after thinking about Zhang Zhou's words for a while, he still figured out some tricks.
Is Zhang Zhou really that kind of quack doctor who "takes credit for good treatment but not disease"?
If Zhang Zhou is really so irresponsible, why did he worry about giving it to the little princess when he was in Nanjing? Didn’t Zhang Zhou know what the consequences would be if he went wrong in treating the princess?
If the Ming Dynasty had a more powerful person than Zhang Zhou in treating difficult and complicated diseases, He, Li Dongyang, would not have agreed to let his son get medical treatment in front of Dai Yi yesterday.
Li Dongyang was at a loss as to how to continue the conversation. When Luan Jia arrived in the distance, the topic could not continue.
Because Zhang Zhou will no longer have time to discuss with Li Dongyang, now it is equivalent to throwing the problem to Li Dongyang himself
After all, he believes in Zhang Zhou and wants to give it to his son. Those strong medicines may be able to bring his son's life back; or they may make his son's disease worsen day by day and continue to use those ineffective treatments
Zhu Youtang arrived, and then Zhang Zhou went up to the altar to worship heaven in front of the king, ministers and soldiers.
In the past, this was just a matter of situation, and no ordinary fool would believe that this kind of sacrifice was really useful.
But now that Zhang Zhou is on the stage in person, the effect is different. Even the soldiers below are full of expectations, because everyone knows how awesome Zhang Zhou is at achieving God's will.
"The hexagram is Kun. If you go up, you will get a great victory."
Zhang Zhou completed the divination as expected. After hearing what Zhang Zhou announced in public, Zhu You Zang was laughing after hearing this.
Because Zhang Zhou told him before that he was not good at this. A person told him before divining that this divination was meant to fool people, but Zhang Zhou still had to give his orders here. It was said so seriously that Zhu Youtang certainly found it interesting.
Whether it works or not, the soldiers believe it.
When he saw the soldiers cheering in the audience, Zhu Youtang himself seemed to suddenly feel better, because he saw that the so-called providence was just a way for the alchemists to calm people's hearts or achieve some purpose. , but it is a vain rhetoric.
This was what Zhang Zhou taught him.
In the past, he, Zhu Youtang, would have been the most superstitious person.
"Zhang Qing's family."
Zhu Youtang stepped forward and personally awarded Zhang Zhou an official certificate, a scepter and other items. This was just a formality and represented the emperor's respect for Zhang Zhou. The highest level of trust for this expedition.
Zhang Zhou took everything and handed it to Sun Shangqi on the side.
Zhu Youtang seemed to be facing an old friend who was about to go off to war. He patted Zhang Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Be careful in everything, don't force it, but don't lose the majesty of the Ming Dynasty soldiers. This battle is over, I'll wait for you." When I return to Beijing, I will take care of you again."
"Remember His Majesty's teachings"
"Oh"
The soldiers in the audience were still cheering.
Zhu Youtang just watched Zhang Zhou step down from the altar, and the Jin Yiwei led Zhang Zhou's horse.
Originally, Zhu Youtang wanted to fire a few cannons in public to boost the morale of the military and the people, but after all, outside Deshengmen is the terminus of the Ming Dynasty water transportation. There are relatively many residential buildings here. Zhang Zhou didn't prepare blank ammunition for the time being, so there was no need to make this move.
After Zhang Zhou mounted his horse, a group of three thousand people, followed by more than a thousand craftsmen driving carriages and waiting for the army, set foot on the road to Xuanfu.
"Bingkuan, look at your posture, it really looks like you are moving."
Zhang Mao was responsible for sending Zhang Zhou off to the expedition on behalf of the emperor. When he reached the outskirts of the city, he was about to reach ten miles. In the pavilion, Zhang Mao was riding on a horse, smiling at Zhang Zhou.
At this time, Zhang Zhou was followed by several people who were also riding horses.
They all walk slowly.
In addition to Zhang Mao's grandson Zhang Lun, there is also Lin Ting, the future brother-in-law who was temporarily transferred by Zhang Zhou. At this time, Lin Ting was no longer a Guanzheng Jinshi, but was temporarily appointed as the head of the Ministry of Industry. .
Xinke Jinshi Liubu was awarded the post of director of the Sixth Department after observing the government. Even though Lin Ting was appointed earlier, Zhang Zhou did not break the rules and insist on promoting the people around him.
In other words, Zhang Zhou felt that it was enough for him to ride the rocket for promotion alone.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Zhang Laoyan smiled. I can't bring many cannons and firearms with me to Xuanfu. After I arrive, I have to raise cannons and other things on my own. Otherwise, I have to go to Xishan." , Bring Xishan’s family fortune with you. After arriving at Xuanfu, we will not only have to practice troops and artillery, but also open mines. How can we not bring more people with us?”
Zhang Mao laughed.
I’m thinking, you talk a lot. If I ask you a question, answer me ten sentences.
“But Bingkuan, I think you seem to be very weak in employing people. Why? If you don't ask your Majesty to invite more court officials to accompany you, you should also invite some court guests. If you are in a tight situation, I can help you."
Zhang Mao is very enthusiastic.
What he means is that even if you can’t bring a family with you when you go on an expedition, you can at least bring a staff with you. If any big thing happens, the people around you will hold a meeting to discuss it beforehand. As the coach, you only need to choose the one from the staff’s opinion. Just the essence, you don’t have to do everything yourself.
As for you, the only ones you can bring are my grandson and your future brother-in-law. No matter how you look at it, your appearance is very shabby.
Zhang Zhou said, "I don't have much money recently, so I gave it all to Your Majesty to collect salary bills for the courtiers."
"Uh"
After hearing this, Zhang Mao thought stand up.
Is Zhang Zhou short of money?
If he was short of money, he would use the money to bribe ministers and get the emperor to agree to his mining operations
"There are not too many people to employ." , And in Jing, the methods and methods I use when formulating strategies are fundamentally different from others, and it is difficult for me to listen to other people's opinions." Zhang Zhou showed that he is still a "courteous and virtuous corporal", but he has nothing to do with his own abilities. tooBig, other people's opinions are bullshit.
Actually, I was also talking to Zhang Mao.
Old man Zhang, how come you talk so much nonsense that I can achieve God’s will and still listen to the opinions of those people and yours? In fact, they are just like shit.
Zhang Zhou pointed at Lin Ting, who was reining in his horse and deliberately keeping a certain distance from Zhang Zhou and Zhang Mao, and said, "It's not that I have to kiss, but that no one is available to me, who understands me." There is a barrier between people and me, let alone those ministers who are strangers to me."
Lin Ting originally deliberately pulled Zhang Zhou because he heard the conversation between Zhang Zhou and Zhang Mao and felt that it was inconvenient for him to listen. At a distance.
After hearing this, he felt even more embarrassed.
Did my future brother-in-law feel that my actions that I deliberately wanted to avoid meant that he did not have enough trust?
Where is this?
Who am I to reason with?
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "I have lived for most of my life and have seen so many civil servants and military generals. I have a deep understanding of the character of people in the world, but I have never seen you so unruly by nature, but able to do everything." I have opened my eyes to the capable ministers who care about Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Zhou squinted and looked at Zhang Mao with a smile.
It seems to be saying, this will open your eyes
There will be more places to open your eyes in the future, let’s wait and see.
Zhang Zhou went on an expedition. His plan was to go to Xishan first, agree on the transportation of coal to Xuanfu in advance, and then dispatch a group of craftsmen to pass through Juyongguan and go all the way to Xuanfu.
Also beware of the Tatars suddenly taking a detour and killing them along the way. After all, the soldiers and horses under his command are not moving very fast. They are both artillery and craftsmen. As Zhang Mao said, it looks like they are moving. , It doesn’t look like he’s going to war.
If you want to use your troops carefully, you must maintain speed when marching. However, Zhang Zhou’s marching method can be exhausting even if he can walk eighty miles in a day.
After Zhang Zhou set out, there were suddenly more criticisms about Zhang Zhou in the court.
Zhu Youtang also did not expect that when Zhang Zhou was in the capital, even if someone made an argument about Zhang Zhou being both a Taoist priest and a scholar, it did not form a problem. But Zhang Zhou left and participated The memorial table in front of Zhu Youtang was piled up like snowflakes in a day or two to impeach Zhang Zhou.
"Your Majesty, basically everything that can be found is here, and there may be more in the future."
Dai Yi and the remaining three Supervisors of Ceremonies stood aside, looking cautiously. With the king.
Zhu Youtang picked up a copy casually, and after reading it, he threw it on the ground without any courtesy, and said with ridicule, "I didn't expect that even if Bingkuan went to Xuanfu to manage the army, he would offend them. But no one mentioned it before Bingkuan left, but he was so persistent after he left. Does this mean that I used Bingkuan wrongly, or that I trusted them wrongly?"
This question is obviously It is not something that the Director of Ceremonies can answer.
Civil officials are very good at adding insult to injury. Of course, Zhang Zhou has not fallen into the well yet, but they may have a vague feeling that Zhang Zhou is already hanging around the well.
“Look at this, saying that the army is run by alchemists has always been the beginning of disaster for the country and the people. Comparing it with the allusion of Song Qinzong’s favor and trust in Guo Jing during the Jingkang Incident, which led to the overthrow of most of China, I am so stupid and ignorant. Dao?"
Zhu Youtang finally felt a little angry.
But to Dai Yi and others, it sounded more like the emperor was mocking those ignorant ministers.
Wei Bin came forward and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang has made many contributions to the Ming Dynasty, how can he be a traitor?"
"Huh." Zhu Youtang snorted, "The so-called Treacherousness and evil are not determined by humans. Since ancient times, many loyal ministers can be said to be treacherous ministers, but treacherous ministers are praised. There are differences in emphasis between monarchs and ministers when it comes to employing people to govern affairs. They prefer that I use collective wisdom and efforts. , instead of using one person's efforts, they will not care about the outcome, they will only chatter about the process."
The four eunuchs couldn't help but look at each other.
He said in his heart that the emperor did not evaluate his ministers like this before he met Zhang Zhou. Now it is less than a year, and the emperor seems to have clearly understood the nature of those civil servants and is already planning to draw a line. Clear relationship.
"In the future, there will be memorials involving Bingkuan, whether they are positive or negative, they will all be ignored. I do not want to read them myself. Bingkuan taught me the same thing, no matter how bizarre and tortuous the process is. , the results are more important than anything else. I will only wait for him to achieve success in the Xuanfu, and then throw these memorials to the court, and let the people who submitted the memorials pick up the memorials, and then come back to me after reviewing them. "
After Zhu Youtang finished speaking, he stood up as if to leave.
When Dai Yi and others heard this, they all cried out in their hearts: Damn it. Sure enough, His Majesty only needs Zhang Bingkuan now, and all the ministers are already dispensable.
Although we are on His Majesty’s side, the problem is that Zhang Bingkuan’s rise not only threatens the status of civil servants, but also makes us very anxious. Who the hell are we talking to?
If Your Majesty really wants to use one person to manage the affairs of the court, then why do you need all the ministers in the court?
Piantouguan.
Qin Hong originally came to Pianguan Pass to prepare for a big fight. However, before the talents arrived at Piantou Pass, he heard that Wang Qiong and Zhu Feng had "sent out troops without authorization" and turned the Huoshan Division against Piantou Pass. The threat was resolved.
When he had just arrived at the Biantou Pass and was about to do something with his heart, a decree was issued. He no longer declared a general system, but changed it to a trilateral general system, and the administrative office was moved directly to Yansui.
This means
Piantou Pass will be under the jurisdiction of Zhang Zhou after that, and he will go to the three sides to be responsible for preventing Dayan Khan from attacking the Ming Dynasty border pass from the south of Hetao.
In any case, Qin Hong's transfer of the trilateral general system was considered a "high promotion" in terms of the focus of northwest defense. Qin Hong had to leave immediately after receiving the transfer order, and he did not even plan to turn his head. Stay one more night in the pass.
Wang Qiong, Zhu Feng, Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and Tang Yin went to see him off.
"Mr. Qin, why are you leaving in such a hurry? You won't leave again after the handover.Late. "Zhu Feng also seemed to be very considerate of Qin Hong's hard work, and said some inappropriate words to the ears of those present.
Except for Zhu Feng, everyone felt that Qin Hong's rush to Yansui was a responsible performance.< /p>
Qin Hong smiled and said, "I know that I am guarding this place with Dehua, so I am very relieved. Yansui and other places are now full of wars. Since the imperial court has appointed me to go, how can I delay it?" ”
Such words seem very formal.
Everyone felt very sorry.
It’s not that they looked down on Zhang Zhou; Everyone wants to learn from Qin Hong, especially Wang Shouren, who is new to officialdom and has always wanted to make a contribution in the northwest. If they want to learn from Zhang Zhou, what should they learn?
Learn how to shoot or learn from Zhang Zhou How to reach the will of heaven
On the contrary, Qin Hong, an experienced commander in the northwest, is more respected by those traditional Confucian officials. In their view, Qin Hong is full of treasures, just that. Experience is enough for half a lifetime of learning.
"You all go back. Qin Hong said with a smile, and suddenly his eyes fell on Wang Qiong again, and he said hello, "Dehua, you come with me for a while." ”
Wang Qiong knew that Qin Hong knew that he could not make any handover with Zhang Zhou, who was in charge of Xuanfu, or that he had nothing to hand over, but before leaving, Wang Qiong still had something to say about him. Instructions.
Wang Qiong then asked everyone to go back and perform their duties, and then headed towards the main entrance of Guansai with Qin Hong.
"De Hua, before I came here, I had never been there before. I have thought that besides Wang Shichang, there are talented people like you in the northwest. Your ability in governing the border is as good as Wang Shichang. "
Wang Qiong was flattered.
Qin Hong slapped him with a big hat when he came up.
Hearing this made him feel very happy.
Qin Hong said, "I also know that it was Zhang Bingkuan who recommended you in front of His Majesty, which shows that he knows and employs people accurately. "
"This"
What Wang Qiong didn't expect was the second half of Qin Hong's sentence.
He originally thought that a traditional civil servant like Qin Hong would He should have looked down upon Zhang Zhou, and Qin Hong might also have objections to the emperor's appointment of Zhang Zhou to manage Xuan Da's military affairs.
I never thought that, on the contrary, Qin Hong was not interested in Zhang Zhou. Appreciated and respected.
Qin Hong sighed, "But when it comes to running the army, you should follow the steps and should not do it without permission. Even if you can achieve great achievements in this way, others in the court may not agree with it. ”
This is to teach him that Wang Qiong made his own decisions before.
You won, and the ministers did not recognize your merits.
If it had been the case before If the outcome of the battle is unfavorable, then you will suffer.
Qin Hong has obviously seen through the nature of officialdom. He is sincerely trying to persuade Wang Qiong that no matter how capable you are, you should take it easy for the sake of your future in the Ming Dynasty. The key point is to stay in the court.
