No matter how much Qin Hong admires Zhang Zhou, he does not need to pave the way for Zhang Zhou's future. Instead, he will help Wang Qiong if he can.
Wang Qiong has always been a "little person", and he has a long road ahead. Qin Hong's support will be of great help to Wang Qiong's future career.
When Qin Hong was leaving for Yansui, Tang Yin and Wang Shouren had their own tasks in Piantou Pass and were about to leave Piantou Pass.
Wang Shouren was attending the funeral for Wang Yue and wanted to send Wang Yue's coffin away, while Tang Yin was only serving as an aide to the "Xuan Da General System". Now that the Xuan Da General System has been replaced, he will go to the Xuan Mansion. Go and talk to Zhang Zhou. Anyway, Zhang Zhou is his "senior brother" and he has been hanging out with Zhang Zhou for two months, so he doesn't think anything of it.
He was packing his things after returning when Xu Jing came to the door.
"Bohu, are you going to Xuanfu to defect to Master Zhang Xian?"
Xu Jing was shameless and insisted on being with Tang Yin, and became the so-called "staff of staff" ".
At first, Tang Yin didn’t want to have any contact with Xu Jing anymore. He couldn’t stand Xu Jing’s thick skin and rich wealth. Tang Yin had just entered the officialdom and couldn’t even rent a place in the capital to settle down. He had to live there all the time. In the official office, now that Xu Jing came to Pianguan with him, he could not only drink and drink, but also someone offered money and help, so he had no choice but to accept it in the end.
Tang Yin knew that Xu Jing wanted to go to Xuanfu with him, so he shook his head and said, "The journey from here to Xuanfu is not peaceful. Wang Zhongcheng will only give a few fast horses and a dozen cavalry to escort him. It will be a hard journey." , or you can stay in Pianguan and wait for the situation to stabilize before planning elsewhere."
"No way."
When Xu Jing heard this, he thought Tang Yin wanted to do something else. He dumped him and said hurriedly, "How can I go to see Master Zhang instead of going to Bohu? My life is over. If I go to Zhejiang as ordered by the court, I can only be a petty official for the rest of my life. With my ability Why do I need to suffer such cowardice? "
Tang Yin frowned.
In the past, he was a little embarrassed in front of Xu Jing, mainly because he was the financial backer and he was a follower.
Now I feel that Xu Jing is a dog-skin plaster that I can’t get rid of even if I want to.
Xu Jingdao: "Bohu doesn't have to worry about the cost of going to Xuanfu. I'll recruit my own people. Dozens of people are enough. We'll have someone to take care of us along the way. I don't have to pack up there. I can hit the road at any time."
"Hey"
Before Tang Yin could object, Xu Jing had already run back to sort out his belongings.
Tang Yin suddenly felt that he had made a very wrong decision by letting Xu Jing follow him, and he seemed to have no peace wherever he went in the future.
Beijing.
After Zhang Zhou left, he had little impact on the courtiers. It can even be said that the government and the public were relaxed.
In the past, I had to endure even participating in the impeachment of Zhang Zhou, but now I finally don’t have to endure it anymore. I can participate in the impeachment as much as I want. Anyway, Zhang Zhou is not in the capital, and the emperor did not accept the memorial after he got the memorial. It is really good to talk about this feeling in the court that both the government and the public are under the control of my civil servants.
NoDespite this kind of relaxation, there is something "weird" everywhere.
Zhang Zhouren went to Xuanfu, but the shadow he left behind always shrouded every yamen in the imperial court.
Especially in places such as the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of War, and the Dudu Mansion, because this is the yamen where Zhang Zhou was responsible. In addition, there are also yamen such as the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry. It is also because Zhang Zhou opened mines and cast cannons. When doing business, we always have to deal with relevant official documents.
The court meeting has just ended.
When Zhu Youtang returned to Qianqing Palace, Dai Yi took an urgent note from the Xuanfu and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, it is Ma Zhongxi, the governor of the Xuanfu, who impeached Ma Yi, the commander of Wanquan Zuoweidu, the former chief military officer of the Xuanfu, and the current deputy chief of the Xuanfu, for using his private army to enrich himself. Please bring him to justice for personal reasons, concealing mistakes, etc. However, before he took someone, Ma Yi got wind of it in advance and left his post without permission on the pretext of patrolling, or he may have defected to the barbarians."
Dai After Yi said this, he felt that the matter was quite difficult.
Zhu Youtang frowned when he heard this and said, "It doesn't matter if the commander-in-chief left his post without permission, are you sure he would surrender to the enemy?"
The Ming Dynasty was relatively benevolent and righteous towards the soldiers of the border army. Generally speaking, even if it was a false report of military exploits, strategic misconduct, defeat, etc., and the crime was punishable by death, the emperor would usually be extra merciful and change it to dismissal and live idle, or send him to the side to accept the crime and perform meritorious service, and rarely actually kill the frontier generals.
For a former commander-in-chief to surrender to the enemy, this is a bit unbelievable.
Could it be that Dai Yiwei "was Ma Zhongxi's guess? It's impossible to predict accurately. After all, there was no report of Ma Yi leaving the fortress in Guansai, or he hid it out of fear of being questioned."
Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "What is Ma Zhongxi going to do at this juncture?"
In the Ming Dynasty, Ma Zhongxi was a "ruthless character". His purpose as an official throughout his life was to fight with all kinds of people. "Evil forces" were the enemy, from the Chenghua period when he participated in the impeachment of Concubine Wan Guifei's brother Wantong, to later to the impeachment of Wang Zhi and Liang Fang, and then when he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he investigated Jiang Cong and the Ministry of War who were guarding eunuchs in Nanjing. Doctor Lou Xing
To put it nicely, he hates evil as much as he hates it, and he can’t get rid of the sand in his eyes.
To put it bluntly, he is a thorn in the side, as if everyone in the world feels sorry for him.
Zhu Youtang expressed this emotion because he believed that Ma Zhongxi suddenly wanted to investigate Ma Yi at this time, which was clearly intended to target Zhang Zhou, who was transferred to the trilateral system.
Ma Zhongxi has been an official for half his life, and now he has to serve as a subordinate to a new Jinshi. It’s strange that he feels comfortable. You, Zhang Zhouren, haven’t arrived at the Xuan Mansion yet. It’s a bit difficult to directly investigate you. After all, you can’t be found. Your bad deeds, but it is better to investigate and deal with the generals who are about to curry favor with you, or even follow your lead.
"Your Majesty, the news that came earlier is that Mr. Zhang and his party have left Juyongguan and will arrive at Xuanfu in three or two days. Do you want to let Mr. Zhang take over this matter?"
Dai Yi is a discerning person.
Since Ma Zhongxi wants to cause trouble, the best way is to give Ma Zhongxi the authority to investigate and deal with Ma Yi to Zhang Zhou.
Don’t you, Ma Zhongxi, want to establish your authority for Zhang Zhou’s envoy?
Now I will transfer your authority to investigate and investigate the Xuanfu army’s illegal acts to Zhang Zhou, pull out your claws, and look at you How can you win.
Zhu Youtang held Ma Zhongxi’s memorial in his hand. He looked it over and then threw it on the table. “If Commander-in-Chief Ma Yi really surrenders to the enemy, then no one can blame him. He should be arrested or confiscated, but if Otherwise, if you just go out to avoid the crime, it won't change how you investigate."
"But Your Majesty," Dai Yi wanted to remind.
This is clearly targeting Zhang Zhou, so we will let Ma Zhongxi do whatever he wants
Zhu Youtang said, "If the case filed by Ma Zhongxi is handed over directly to Bingkuan, it will be true. This Ma Yi has nothing to do with Bingkuan. Is there anyone else who wants to use this topic to his advantage?"
Dai Yi understood immediately.
It seems that giving Zhang Zhou the authority to investigate the case will prevent Ma Zhongxi from taking advantage of the situation.
But the emperor's thoughts are at a higher level. The emperor must show as much as possible that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Zhou and is up to you, Ma Zhongxi.
As long as Zhang Zhou is the general manager of Xuanda, and you, Ma Zhongxi, are still just the governor of Xuanfu, the official level will be able to suppress you firmly, and the so-called killing the chicken to scare the monkey will have no effect on Zhang Zhou.
In recent days, the situation in the northwest has been relatively stable, and there have been no further reports of war.
Pianguan, Xuanfu, Yansui, Ningxia and other places seem to have subsided for the time being.
This is related to Wang Qiong's victory at Pianguan. The Tatars also seemed to feel that the Ming Dynasty no longer only retreated and defended as before, knowing that the Ming Dynasty was likely to send troops to retaliate. , whoever attacks is causing trouble for himself.
At this time, it was the eve of the completion of the internal annexation of the Tatars. No tribe was willing to offend Ming, a powerful enemy, before the internal fighting started.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty was cowering and just grabbed it. Now whoever provokes the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty army will directly attack them. There are also some mighty sky gunpowder, divine long-range cannons, etc. Are you worried or scared? Sorry
The northwest is safe and sound, and the cabinet will be a little less relaxed.
On this day, Li Dongyang finished his night shift and returned home after attending the court meeting. He was ready to catch up on his sleep, but it was Li Zhao who came to greet him first.
Li Zhaoxian’s face was filled with joy.
"My father and son have taken medicine and are fine. On the contrary, their condition has been relieved."
Li Zhaoxian was a little excited.
Originally, he was suffering from a terminal illness that was waiting for death. He was gradually falling into a desperate situation step by step. But now there are sudden signs of survival from the desperate situation. He still wants to share this good news with those who "suicide" for him. The father of the descendant.
Li Dongyang’s face froze for a moment, and he asked seriously, “Is it definitely getting better?”
Li Zhaoxian rolled up his sleeves in front of his father and said, “Father, look at these red spots. It's starting to fade."
The first thought in Li Dongyang's mind was whether he really had a "villain's heart" when it came to Zhang Zhou
"Does he have a good body?Li Dongyang is still worried about the signs of poisoning.
Fighting poison with poison has always been a common practice among doctors, and sometimes it can indeed achieve the effect of fighting poison with poison, but not everyone can afford this method.
Li Zhaoxian said, “My appetite has improved a lot recently. I occasionally have a splitting headache, but it hasn’t happened again in the past few days. However, I didn't dare to increase the dosage of the medicine without authorization. I took and applied everything according to Mr. Zhang's instructions. "
"Okay, okay. "Li Dongyang nodded with satisfaction.
No matter how hard-hearted Li Dongyang is, he will still be happy to see his son's condition improve and his face improve.
" "Father, I want to take a walk outside and visit Xuanfu after my condition improves."
Li Zhaoxian's illness had just improved, and he immediately wanted to step out of the house, and even planned to travel far.< /p>
Li Dongyang immediately said with a serious face, "You are not allowed to go anywhere recently. You can rest at home to recuperate. You don't even have to attend the usual cultural gatherings anymore, and you don't see anyone who comes to see you." At this time, what you have to do is to take good care of your body, and you are not allowed to set foot in the flower streets and willow lanes again."
Right now, Li Dongyang doesn't want outsiders to know about Zhang Zhou's treatment for his son.
He knew his son's character and was free and easy as a scholar. If he let his son go out to meet friends or something, he would have to reveal the matter.
Li Dongyang would be ashamed, let alone his son's current illness. There has been no major improvement, and even if he is cured, he still has to consider whether to let others know about it.
"Father"
Of course Li Zhaoxian is not happy.
I am recuperating, not just for a better life in the future, but I want to keep me at home and be a loner
I thought I was still a teenager and I am already twenty-five or six, and I have long been able to be independent. , why should I listen to you in everything?
Li Dongyang said, "You have to remember that you are the son of the Li family first, and then the minister of the Ming Dynasty. Now that you are not in the government, there is no need for you to worry about the affairs of the court, and there is no need for you to worry about life. It's trivial. Now you just have to recover from your illness so that you can live up to your father's hard work for you. ”
These words are a reminder to my son.
Your current improvement in condition is the result of your father and I giving up our principles and letting Zhang Zhou treat you.
As a result, you haven’t recovered from your illness yet, so you want to go out to have sex. Are you worthy of the painstaking efforts I have made for your condition?
Also, you don’t have your own career, and until now You are still a parasite, and you have never been bothered by the trivial things in life. You have never thought about your responsibilities as a "Li family son", give birth to a grandson for your father and me, and then think about other things
" Please remember. ”
Li Zhaoxian also knows that his father has been worried about his illness in the past two years, and understands his father’s obsession with the family’s incense.
Now that his father has said this, he even No matter how unwilling he was to be locked up at home, he could only endure it for the time being.
Zhang Zhou went to Xuanfu and passed through Huailai County five days after leaving the capital.>
At first, Zhang Zhou thought that the marching speed would not be too fast, but after he came out, he realized that the generals could bring out what troops.
A group of lazy soldiers who usually looked like soldiers, knew they were following him on the battlefield as a "famous general", and they all showed their potential. They traveled more than a hundred miles a day, and there were not many soldiers along the way. Even those ordinary craftsmen who complained about being tired did not complain all the way. They were driving and dragging chariots with artillery. The whole journey was basically a desolate and decayed scene, but they were still able to complete the rapid march.
Zhang Zhou also saw the decline of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty along the way.
Especially after leaving Juyongguan.
Even the road from Juyongguan to Xuanfu is full of weeds, and it is almost difficult to distinguish the traces of the road. Not even a village can be seen along the way, and occasionally merchants can be seen. These When merchants discovered that Ming troops were passing by, they stayed away.
On the night of the fifth day of the expedition.
After the group was stationed, necessary meals were delivered to the post house. In fact, it was impossible for the post house to supply meals for Zhang Zhou’s army, and it was just cooking a small stove for Zhang Zhou alone.
Zhang Zhou became a local official for the first time, at the general level. In the three-acre Xuanda area, Zhang Zhou was the biggest official, and people in the post house knew that Zhang Zhou was a popular figure in front of the emperor. , naturally we should take as much care as possible.
I don’t want to show my face, I just want not to be hated.
"How much money will it cost? If you eat too much chicken, duck, and fish, you will feel full." Zhang Zhou pointed to Zhang Lun next to him, "Take it out. I have been suffering from indigestion recently and can't eat it."
p>
Zhang Lun’s journey was very hard. Even if he didn’t eat rice bran, the food was much worse than at home.
More importantly, as a young man, he had to complete such a long journey. In the past, even if his family strictly required training, the intensity would not be half as intense as this march.
Immediately, Zhang Lun took the food box and went out to find Zhu Hui and the others to eat together.
"Sir." Sun Shangqi entered Zhang Zhou's tent, "The sentry riders intercepted several riders three miles away. One of them claimed to be Ma Yi, the former chief soldier of the Xuanfu. I was framed by Governor Ma of Xuanfu and came here to redress my grievances."
"What"
Zhang Zhou frowned.
I haven’t even arrived at the Xuan Mansion yet, so why are there so many weird things going on?
Sun Shangqi said, “I have found people in the army who are familiar with the northwest, and I am sure that Ma Yi is correct. ”
Zhang Zhou did not reply immediately.
When encountering this kind of thing, the best thing is to not listen to what Ma Yi said, and directly send the person to the Xuan Mansion and hand it over to Ma Zhongxi, who is investigating Ma Yi. This shows that he, Zhang Zhou, has nothing to do with this matter. It doesn't matter.
It is also possible to hand the person over to the Jin Yiwei, who will take him back to the capital and hand it over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment for questioning.
At the next level, you can raise your account on the spot, and publicly ask what crime Ma Yi has committed in front of all the nobles and soldiers, and then decide what to do next.
The worst thing is the one that should not be chosen, that isMeet privately.
But Zhang Zhou is no ordinary person.
"Let him come and see you." Zhang Zhou put down the official letter in his hand. The so-called official letters were from various places reporting military information. After he left Juyongguan, all the disturbances related to the declaration of the land boundary were caused by him, the general manager. He must also pay attention to the movements of the Tatars at all times, lest he encounter the Tatar cavalry knocking on the pass and entering the camp.
Sun Shangqi came out of the camp and brought Ma Yi.
In order to ensure that Ma Yi did not come to threaten Zhang Zhou's safety, he removed Ma Yi's weapons and tied his hands at the same time. He was accompanied by six Jinyi guards.
"Ma Yi, a humble official, came to see Zhang Zhitai."
Ma Yi knelt down when they met, without hesitation at all. She felt that she regarded Zhang Zhou as her biological father and grandfather.
Zhang Zhou looked at Ma Yi's face and sighed, "He is really a hero with his majestic appearance."
"Yeah"
Sun Shangqi and others next to him People were stunned.
Zhang Zhou actually assumed the role of a "guilty" general
Even if you admire him, you can't judge that he is a "hero" from his appearance
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Ma Yicheng was frightened. < /p>
"Is your home okay? I mean your children, etc." Zhang Zhou suddenly asked for no reason.
Ma Yi’s body trembled.
Breaking it, aren’t you trying to kill me to give that damn Ma Zhongxi a gift?
Ma Zhongxi is the one who condemned me to death
If you don’t want to kill me, ask What are my children doing?
"My children are okay." Ma Yi looked nervous.
Zhang Zhou smiled, "Children must be well disciplined, and fathers must set an example."
""
Ma Yi's whole person It's confusing.
Is this a riddle?
Zhang Zhou smiled. His interest in Ma Yi did not lie in what this person had done. Historically, Ma Yi was also impeached by Ma Zhongxi. The goods are indeed not a positive character.
But this kind of person's only fame in history is that Ma Zhongxi demonstrated his demeanor as a famous minister.
Being a backdrop for others.
But this guy’s children are very famous
Ma Yi’s son Ma Ang is the one who will give his married and pregnant sister to Zhu Houzhao in the future, so Zhang Zhou will So interested in asking about his children.
Because of the age calculation, both Ma Ang and her sister were born at this time.
