Chapter 347 My “friend” is extraordinary

When Tang Yin walked out of the Yanwu Hall, his whole body had lost all energy, as if he was about to jump into a pit of fire.

According to Zhang Zhou's request, before his trip to Liaodong, he had to arrange and arrange his "errands", which was to write a plan report and explain to the emperor in detail what he wanted to do. Convenient for meeting before departure for the next day.

"Bohu, why do you look like this?"

Tang Yin suddenly felt like he saw Xu Jing, and Xu Jing discovered what was wrong with him.

Tang Yin said, "I'm going to Liaodong."

"This is a good thing." Xu Jing looked envious.

Xu Jing originally counted on Tang Yin to take him flying. Now that Tang Yin is going to Liaodong to do important things, Xu Jing doesn't seem to feel that Tang Yin is being used by others.

Tang Yin asked, "Do you want to go with me?"

"I wonder if Master Zhang agrees?"

Xu Jing wanted to go, but he I'm afraid Zhang Zhou won't allow it.

Tang Yinben also wanted to tell Xu Jing that he was going to Korea as an envoy, and even wanted to mention that the Ming Dynasty was preparing to use troops against the Jianzhou Guard and other ministries, but he thought that Zhang Zhou would not allow him to go out in advance. He could only sigh and said, "Southerners are already having a hard time in the north. This year's cold winter is a little uncomfortable. What's more, you should not go to Liaodong, a place that is even more bitter and cold."

Tang Yin It was a good intention.

You Xu Jing will go to Liaodong with me, and you will probably go to North Korea with me. This is a matter of keeping your head in your belt.

Xu Jingze misunderstood what Tang Yin meant. He said, "It's Bohu who thinks that I don't have the ability to help you."

"Haha." Tang Yin said with a bitter smile, "If you If you are willing to go with me, I will help you find a job in the team, but don't complain after you go." "It's okay, it's okay. How much time do you have to prepare?" Xu Jingze was very excited.

Having work to do is a gift to him.

What I fear most is being left out.

Tang Yin said, "I'll leave tomorrow after I meet the saint."

When Xu Jing heard the "face to the saint", he became even more envious.

If you go to Liaodong on business, you can still meet the emperor. At present, the emperor does not even see his courtiers, which also means that Tang Yin is likely to be summoned by the emperor alone.

"Brother Bohu, you have really met a noble man. When you go, don't forget me, brother. We must support each other in the future. We have known each other since we were young, and this kind of friendship is beyond the reach of others. I'll go back and pack up now, and we'll leave for Liaodong tomorrow."

Xu Jing now wants to try his best to catch up with Tang Yin.

It's a bit difficult to climb up Zhang Zhou's big tree. Before, he couldn't seek refuge with Wang Shouren, so now he had to use a simple method to get closer to Tang Yin.

In fact, Xu Jing also looked down on Tang Yin from the bottom of his heart. He felt that Tang Yin was far different from Zhang Zhou and Wang Shouren in terms of ability and fortune. But Xu Jing also knew that in terms of relationship, Tang Yin was closer to him. And Tang Yin was still willing to help him at some point.

After all, it was the same battleComrades in the trenches, brothers who have gone through hardships together.

Ministry of Rites.

Xie Qian, who was invited, met Xu Qiong.

Xu Qiong informed him that Zhu Youtang had a woman outside and was pregnant.

"Seriously" Xie Qian was also extremely surprised and couldn't sit still.

Twelve years after Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, this cowardly emperor once again subverted Xie Qian's cognition.

Xu Qiong said, "Yu Qiao, do you know why I told you this?"

"Alas"

Xie Qian breathed heavily and turned his head to one side after sitting down. , there is a kind of melancholy that cannot bear to look back on the past.

In the first year of Hongzhi, Guo Yong, the left young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Guards, wrote a letter requesting the emperor to choose a concubine to enrich the harem. Zhu Youtang, who had just ascended the throne at that time, also agreed.

At that time, Xie Qian, who was a student at the Hanlin Academy and was also Zhu Youtang’s teacher, came out to oppose the "six-gong system, which should be prepared. But after three years of worry, how can we forget the present mountain mausoleum" It’s not over yet, I’m still in the dark, but this happened suddenly.”

It means that even if the sixth house thing is supposed to happen, you haven’t finished your three years of Dingyou yet, so you are thinking about having a concubine. Children

in this matter.

Obviously, the traditionalists represented by Xie Qian are demanding the new emperor who has just ascended the throne from the perspective of a "sage".

Zhu Youtang was newly appointed to the Dabao at that time and was alone. Almost no one in the court could help him. Even the palace was still a group of old people left by Emperor Chenghua. He was trembling with fear. As an adult, the only teachers he could rely on were Xie Qian and the group of East Palace lecturers. This shows how much influence Xie Qian's words had on him.

Then Zhu Youtang really did not have a concubine.

Xu Qiong probably meant to remind Xie Qian.

Times have changed. At first it was you, Xie Yuqiao, who blocked the emperor from having a concubine. Now it’s up to you to break the ice and persuade the emperor to have a concubine. Do you think so

"Okay"

Xie Qian He stretched out his hand to interrupt Xu Qiong's earnest words, but in fact it seemed more like a lengthy nonsense.

If you Xu Qiong wants to persuade me to come forward, you don’t need to find so many reasons.

I know better than you what the situation is.

I am not blind.

Nothing is justified."

This means that even if we want to bring up old things again, we have to find a way.

It cannot be said that the emperor has repeatedly issued decrees not to allow any more mentions.Concubine, now that the emperor wants to have a concubine, let us just give you a memorial. The emperor agreed happily, and there is harmony between the monarch and his ministers. What will the people of the world think?

Oh, feelings, you monarchs and ministers are singing a double act here.

There must be "everything happens for a reason".

It must be because the metaphysics school headed by Qin Tianjian, Taichang Temple, etc. have grasped some kind of heavenly secret, discovered the connection between heavenly secret and human relations, and realized that the emperor should obey the destiny and accept a concubine at this time, so Only then could he open up branches and leaves for the Ming Dynasty, and then Barabala said a bunch of results. The result was that the emperor complied with the destiny and agreed to take the concubine

This is the serious process.

Xu Qiong smiled bitterly and said, "Do you have to spend so much time?"

Xie Qian said, "Don't you think it's necessary?"

Xu Qiong was about to say Well, the emperor's mind has changed. He broke his original promise not to accept a concubine, but now the bad guys let us be the concubines. Why?

Besides, after accepting a concubine, it is really harmful to us officials. It's good

It is said that the emperor accepted concubines and had more sons for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, except Zhu Youtang's old grandmother and the trusted eunuchs around him, no one else really cared about this matter. Are you so interested?

It doesn’t matter whether you have any children or not, even if you don’t have any, I can adopt one for you.

Anyway, it’s not impossible in the future. After you have been dead for more than ten years, we can give you an adopted son. Is there anything that is impossible for us?

"Then They are looking for people from Taichang Temple." Xu Qiong did not argue too much with Xie Qian.

""

Xu Qiong wanted to say, why didn't you go?

But seeing Xie Qian's attitude, Xu Qiong understood immediately.

I want to use Xie Qian as a gunman, but Xie Qian's status in the government is obviously higher than that of Xu Qiong. How can a high-ranking person be used by a low-ranking person?

With Xie Qian Xu Qiong was so cunning and cunning that he could kill with a random backhand. It felt like Xu Qiong was giving him an idea to find someone from Qintian Prison to talk about God's will, but in fact it was Xie Qian who just threw the problem to him.

It’s not you Xu Qiong who takes the lead now, it has to be the next day.

The next day.

Zhu Youtang still did not go to court.

In the palace, Zhu Youtang met with Zhang Zhou and Tang Yin. As the envoy to Liaodong to review the achievements of the First World War at Huangshui, Tang Yin, in addition to the position of director of the Ministry of War, would also be added to the imperial inspection of Liaodong. Tang Yin himself didn't even know what he was doing.

In short, the official rank changed from the sixth rank to the fifth rank.

But there is no position of official assistant wailang

It seems that he has been promoted to a Beijing official, and his status instantly feels much higher, but Tang Yin knows that he is half-assigned. The rule of the Ming Dynasty is that officials in the capital should be promoted to at least three official levels, and he has only been promoted by one level

"Tang Qing's family, youOn this mission to North Korea, he will be carrying a scepter and credentials. In name, he is going to confer the title of crown prince on the son of the lord of the North Korean lord, and at the same time discuss with him the matter of sending troops together. "Zhu Youtang said, "This trip will be very hard for you. You have to arrive in about a month, and you have to go to Shenyang on the way. As for the specific matters, Duke Lai Guo will explain to you. "

Tang Yin cupped his hands and said, "I accept the decree.

Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Bingkuan, I think you have a good vision, and this Tang Yin can be regarded as a pillar." Judging from his energy, he should be able to do this job, and he should be able to make great achievements. "

Tang Yin wanted to ask something, but suddenly realized that he was in the Qianqing Palace. The emperor did not ask him, so he was not qualified to ask.

Zhang Zhou asked the question for him, "Your Majesty, Do you think after Mr. Tang's affairs are completed, should he stay in North Korea and cooperate with North Korea in sending troops, or should he return to Shenyang and assist Lu Zhongcheng and others in sending troops?"

"Of course, don't be in a hurry to come back. "

Zhu Youtang's words almost frightened Tang Yin so much that his legs went weak.

Zhang Zhou picked him up from the side and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, this is Your Majesty. If I admire you and keep you in North Korea, you will be equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's envoy. All the military affairs of the Li Dynasty will be under your control. You are here to supervise the army. ”

“Nana”

Tang Yin’s words were all in vain.

Zhang Zhou asked, “By the way, Mr. Tang, who else are you planning to bring?” When I go to North Korea, I have consulted with His Majesty and asked you to assign a team of 200 people to the mission, equipped with new types of muskets. As for the artillery, I will give you five light cannons. This is to ensure that you can arrive safely. No matter how many things are given to you, you must bring them back in full. ”

When Tang Yin heard this, he was afraid that I would drop the artillery and muskets in North Korea

It was Zhang Zhou who asked, but Tang Yin replied respectfully to Zhu Youtang "I found my former friend Xu Jing, who is now a civil servant, and went together. "

"Okay. "Zhu Youtang said, "I will ask the governor of Liaodong to send a few people to assist you, also to facilitate the discussion of marching arrangements. As for Xu Jing, although he had some misbehavior during the imperial examination, he was still determined to serve the Ming Dynasty. If his trip to Korea can be successfully completed, I will give him a reward as appropriate. ”

Tang Yin originally thought that the emperor would directly give Xu Jing an official position.

I heard that he could only be promoted after completing his mission.

Tang Yin felt sorry for Xu Jing, but when he thought about it again, it was such a pity that you took the initiative to ask for the job, and it was not the emperor or Zhang Bingkuan who asked for you. Even if you volunteer, it still depends on your ability.

If you have the courage to be promoted to an official position, then the official position in the Ming Dynasty is too worthless.

After Zhang Zhou met with Tang Yin, he followed Xiao Jing outside the palace. < /p>

“Everything is packed,” Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.

Tang Yin said, “It’s okay. ”

What he actually wanted to say is that I am almost alone in the capital, and I haven’t even brought my mother-in-law with me yet.Tang Yin's only daughter was born after a second marriage, which means that except for his wife who is still in Jiangnan who is picky about him, he is actually a loner.

Of course Tang Yin has not yet divorced Xu Xian’s wife.

Tang Yin's love life was very unhappy throughout his life.

But during the Ming Dynasty, they were all a group of male chauvinists, and there was no such thing as harmony. Men and women had nothing to do with each other, and they probably just lived together.

Tang Yin was heartless and didn't think anything of it.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Then I will arrange a few more people to accompany you. You know Liu Gui, who has been to the grassland before. He is now a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu. He will take a few people to listen to your orders. He can also use Pao, I may be able to help you at a critical moment."

"Yes."

Tang Yin has no idea who should go with him.

Anyway, Zhang Zhou is not accompanying you personally, is there any essential difference between others?

"Then I won't send you off. After leaving the city, there will be more than a thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp. You will be accompanied by people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of War. Anyway, your mission is different from theirs, so do it well."

No matter what words of encouragement Zhang Zhou said, Tang Yin could not lift his spirits.

It was precisely because he was bitten by a snake that he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. This time he felt that he had been tricked by Zhang Zhou. Zhang Zhou's words were so convincing that Tang Yin also regarded Zhang Zhou as a model of evildoers.

Everything is arranged.

Zhang Zhou did not send Tang Yin out of the city, but Tang Yin's trip to Liaodong attracted much attention in the court.

In the eyes of others, Tang Yin went to Liaodong to mediate the conflict between Jizhou and Liaodong soldiers over their expeditionary achievements. Only Tang Yin and a few people knew that he was going to North Korea as an envoy, and that he was going to North Korea. Cooperating with the Liaodong troops of the Ming Dynasty, they launched a ruthless purge against the Jurchen and other tribes in the north.

Zhang Zhou went to see Ning Tong.

This time, I brought Xiao Jing with me.

It was Zhu Youtang who ordered Dongchang, headed by Xiao Jing, to strengthen the security of Ningtong's courtyard, but the main inner circle protection was still completed by the people assigned by Zhang Zhou.

The reason why Zhu Youtang made such an arrangement was because he felt that he and his wife had reached a reconciliation, and logically speaking, his wife should not kill again.

"Sir, after you go in, just speak as if we are not here. If you have anything to do, just give us instructions."

Xiao Jing was cautious.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked Eunuch Xiao to come, and there are other arrangements, right?"

Xiao Jing looked embarrassed and did not answer.

Zhang Zhou said, "Actually, His Majesty also said that Eunuch Xiao came not only to ensure the safety of the surrounding area, but also to make preparations and arrangements for Your Majesty to occasionally visit the little noble. After all, in a short period of time, this It's impossible to enter the palace."

"Yes, yes."

When Xiao Jing heard that the emperor didn't hide anything from Zhang Zhou, what else could he hide?< /p>

He also understood now that the emperor had something to tell them, and it was impossible not to tell Zhang Zhou.

Things that seemed confidential to them were just commonplace to Zhang Zhou.

After all, the emperor didn't even trust the queen that much, but he admired Zhang Zhou extremely. Xiao Jing couldn't understand this kind of friendship.

"But if His Majesty wants to come, it will be a bit troublesome to arrange it. My idea is to rent out the surrounding yards and open them up. In the future, this place can be used as the natal home of the young nobleman. Eunuch Xiao thinks "How?"

"Listen to you, listen to you."

As the two said, the carriage stopped at the door of Ningtong's shop.

This time someone came over to say hello in advance, and Ning Tong closed the shop in advance. It wasn't until someone knocked on the door that Ning Tong came over and opened the door in person.

"Coming"

Ning Tong didn't see Zhang Zhou outside.

She looked Xiao Jing up and down, because Xiao Jing was only wearing ordinary clothes, she just frowned.

The two have met before, but Ning Tong can't remember where she met them

"Who is he?" Ning Tong asked.

Zhang Zhou said, "Miss Ning, this has nothing to do with you. I'm bringing a friend to visit Miss Xiaolian."

"Yes."

Ning Tong then After inviting the two of them in, she saw a burly man coming behind her. She immediately became unhappy and stretched out her hand to stop him.

The person who was stopped was none other than the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mou Bin.

Fortunately, Mou Bin knew who this person was, otherwise he would have had to go under the knife on the spot.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "The people I brought here are just to meet Miss Xiaolian, so that we can get to know the people behind her later."

Ning Tong was dissatisfied. He said, "What do you think of this place? You said it yourself. No contact with outsiders is allowed, but now you bring a man to disturb us. Are you deliberately trying to ruin our reputation?"

Xiao Jing heard this , and quickly argued, "Mrs. Anbianhou, please calm down."

Ning Tong's body was instantly shaken by this sound.

This is clearly a eunuch.

She also instantly remembered that this was the old eunuch she had met in the theater, and she immediately said nothing.

"Eunuch Xiao, do you think it's okay here?" Zhang Zhou stopped hiding.

Xiao Jing sighed, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Commander Mou, what do you think?" Zhang Zhou looked at Mou Bin again.

Mo Bin said, "I am willing to listen to the Duke's orders."

"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded, "The two nearby houses have been temporarily occupied, and Jin Yiwei will take over. It should be difficult. It's not big, but we still need to keep the news as low as possible to prevent the place from attracting attention."

" Yes," Mou Bin said.

Ning Tong, who was very impressive before, now acted like a good girl, and even stood behind Zhang Zhou, as if she wasShe relied on Zhang Zhou's majesty to protect her. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
