"Poor appearance, who should I show it to?"
After Liu Yu was taken away again, Li Zhang said in a slightly mocking tone, and then said to Zhang Zhou in a laughing tone "Who made him offend you?" Zhang Zhou said, "He violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty." If he didn’t do anything to that Shangshu Ma, why would Shangshu Ma recommend him every time and tell him that he was unclean and wanted to play both sides? He deserves to be like this. ”
< p>When Li Zhang said this, he was probably following Zhang Zhou's intention, or he was speculating on Zhang Zhou's intention.In fact, even Li Zhang didn’t quite understand. Why wouldn’t a dog like Liu Yu, who was both corrupt and capable of getting things done, not go down?
It was said that he was in cahoots with Ma Wensheng. At the same time, with Liu Yu's knowledge, he can probably tell which side has a stronger relationship. When he is asked to fall for Zhang Zhou, he will definitely not pay any attention to Ma Wensheng's faction.
It seems that Zhang Zhou is too arrogant when it comes to Liu Yu.
"If nothing happens, I'll go back first." Zhang Zhou said.
"Let our family see you off." Li Zhang smiled and made a gesture of leading the way.
Zhang Zhou said, "Don't bother Eunuch Li. I'll just go out by myself. I just returned to the capital and I haven't even asked about the Ministry of War. I'm afraid I will be extremely busy these two days."
< p>Li Zhang hurriedly said, "Sir, you are a busy nobleman, and it is difficult for our family to disturb you anymore. However, I believe that your majesty relies heavily on you, and we hope that you will not mind, sir."< /p>Zhang Zhou nodded and said, "If your Majesty has given orders, I will of course do my best, and we all should do the same."
"Sir, please." Li Zhang smiled and sent Zhang Zhou out of the court door.
Zhang Zhou left Beizhen Fusi.
After the others left, Mou Bin hurriedly came out of the inner hall and went to Li Zhang to wait for Li Zhang's instructions. < /p>
Mo Bin hurriedly said, "It's a dereliction of duty. But judging from Cai Guogong's previous intention, he didn't seem to care about it."
"That's what our family said, but what the higher-ups meant, Cai Guogong I thought it was His Majesty's will, so I didn't care about it, but if he knew that His Majesty didn't care about Liu Yu at all, wouldn't you be causing trouble for yourself?" Li Zhang was also very angry.
In front of Zhang Zhou, he had to put on a show to ensure that Zhang Zhou would not notice.
Mo Bin could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
Li Zhang said, "Liu Yu originally thought he was a tough guy. Looking at his appearance, those who didn't know thought he was a villain. Cai Guogong pulled him out, which seemed wise. This kind of person is two-faced. , what big things can he achieve?"
Mo Bin didn't understand, "Even in a humble position, I feel that he is not a gentleman.Son, but it doesn’t seem like it”
“It won’t end like this, right? It’s not that what you did was originally just sent to prison, but you can still be transferred out for use later. After this punishment, Liu There is no room for maneuver between Yu and Cai Guogong. Cai Guogong will use a criminal minister who has been punished by him," Li Zhang said angrily.
"This Liu Yu, don't dare to do anything," Mou Bin said.
p>"Humph, even if Liu Yu goes out and still works for Cai Guogong honestly, Cai Guogong will not be able to entrust him with important tasks. This is to prevent Liu Yu from worrying about today's imprisonment. Liu Yu's attitude is not important. What Cai Guogong thinks is Liu Yu's attitude is important. If Cai Guogong thinks that he may hold a grudge, then this person will be completely useless. It is you who disrupted Cai Guogong's employment plan. ”
Li Zhang abruptly put a blame on Mou Bin’s head.
Mou Bin screamed in his heart that he was wronged.
It was Zhang who took the blame before. Zhou, it was you, Li Zhang, who said we were going to be tortured, but we actually tortured you, and now you are saying that we don’t know the etiquette of advancing and retreating. You two bosses are really good at shirking responsibility.
Li Zhang said, "That Xie Ge. You should be kind to the old man. He won't stay here for long. He will go out soon and do the things he is good at doing. Don't say that our family is merciless. "
"Yes, yes. "Mo Bin would not do anything else except admit his mistake.
It was near sunset.
Li Dongyang came back from a trip, and he was still on duty in the cabinet room that night. When he went out He also did a lot of things on this trip and inquired about the news. When he came back, he reported what he had seen to Liu Jian.
"It's probably okay. Someone has leaked the news. Your Majesty is going to let Yu Qiao return. Township. Even if you try your best, I'm afraid the result won't be very good. ”
Li Dongyang originally supported Liu Jian’s absolutely uncompromising principles.
But as the emperor had made the decision to send Xie Qian back to his hometown, Li Dongyang felt that It was already difficult to argue with the emperor on this matter.
Liu Jian kept silent with a sullen face.
Li Dongyang said, "Judging from the past rules, Cong Ge. If the subordinates retreat, there will be no chance for a comeback. There is no trial of guilt and just allowing the official to return home. This can probably be regarded as a certain concession by His Majesty. "
Liu Jiandao: "What do you mean by giving in? Did Yu Qiao do anything wrong?"
"He is right, but the results are not in line with our expectations. If the north returns without success today, then His Majesty will basically not pursue Yu Qiao's matter, but since Cui Maoren and Zhu Zhijie have achieved success, someone must take some responsibility. If it weren't for Yu Qiao, it would have been alas."
Li Dongyang felt sorry for his old friend.
Xie Qian just implemented some of the cabinet decisions, but now he has become the scapegoat.
Liu Jiandao "Already. Are you sure it's time to retire?"
Li Dongyang nodded and said, "It's almost certain that Cui Maoren and Zhu Zhijie will win this battle. According to their own reports, if there is no follow-up pursuit, they will immediately turn back south. Everywhere in the northwest to nowThey are all in peace. This can be regarded as a blessing. If the British people make any progress, I'm afraid this matter will not end well. ”
“Yeah. "Liu Jian nodded.
Both of them knew very well that it was Wang Shouren who Xie Qian asked for ginseng to impeach to mobilize troops for Zhang Mao.
If Wang Shouren achieved success, or Zhang Mao If you lead an army to a great victory, then it is unreasonable for you to criticize others. They have achieved great victories through this. If you continue to impeach them, their merits will not be obtained, and you will become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.
Then. What Li Dongyang meant was that if Wang Shouren transferred 6,000 troops to Zhang Mao, if he didn't achieve a greater strategic victory, then Xie Qian's matter would end peacefully.
If not, I'm afraid of Xie Qian. He couldn't even think of escaping unscathed.
Liu Jian frowned slightly and said, "But there has been no news from Ningxia in the past few days. What is the current situation of the British people?"
There is a war in the north. The emperor clearly appointed Zhang Mao as the commander of the expedition, but now Zhang Mao seems to be invisible. Everyone was looking forward to Wang Qiong and Wang Shouren's victory before, and now they are waiting for Zhu Feng and Cui Yuan to win. It's exciting, but he, Zhang Mao, seems to be staying out of it.
Of course it's not Zhang Mao's fault.
It's just that, everyone else was promoted or promoted by Zhang Zhou. Cultivated, others have too high expectations for Zhang Zhou's subordinates, but they have no expectations for Zhang Mao.
Li Dongyang said, "I only heard that he was stationed in Huamachi, and I seemed to want to do it." Previously, the small victory in the first battle was making a fuss. Now that there is a great victory in the east, his British father has become a joke. After he returns to Beijing this time, his face will not be too good. Previously, we wanted to use him to oppose Zhang Bingkuan. It can still be done. "
The cabinet originally planned to let Zhang Mao hate Zhang Zhou to cause internal strife in the governor's office.
This is still feasible now.
Liu Jiandao "Beijing Camp The next step is still uncertain to whom His Majesty will hand it over. I'm afraid that when the British Duke returns to Beijing, even his own fangs will be worn out and I hope he hums."
Currently, Liu Jian is also very disdainful of people other than Zhang Zhou.
We obviously planned to use you people to deal with Zhang Zhou.
It turned out that you are all a bunch of bugs, but it was our civil servants who suffered heavy losses, and you guys. The so-called wolves are now trembling in front of Zhang Zhou.
It seems that there is no hope for Zhang Mao.
Li Dongyang nodded. He said, "Don't be afraid if you have merit in the northeast. As long as the northwest is calm, everything will be fine." It's just a pity for Yu Qiao. "
Liu Jian was about to leave the duty room when he suddenly thought of something and turned around and asked, "Where are the thousands of troops and horses that Wang Boan assigned to Ma Yi?"
Li Dongyang He shook his head.
He didn't know about this either.
In the overall strategic map of the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that Ma Yi had disappeared. The existence of this group of people.
The news of Zhu Feng and Cui Yuan's great victory had only reached the capital, but had not spread to other parts of the northwest. The west of Juyongguan had no idea about it.
But it was more than 300 miles northeast of Huamachi. Ma Yi and Zhang Rui's 6,000 elite light cavalry, the furthest troops on the Ming Dynasty's expedition, had already reached the hinterland of the grassland. After several consecutive days of day and night, the Tatar camp was already in front of them.
"Six hundred miles beyond Guanshan, Hu horses and mink furs are lighting up sky lanterns. What a sight."
Zhang Rui is riding a horse and standing on a high place.
There seemed to be thousands of lights in the distance, and the eyes of every Ming Dynasty soldier were filled with a bloody aura.
Ma Yi put her hand on her sword, looked back at Zhang Rui and said, "My young master is very talented in literature, but I am just a rough guy. I remember when Wang Weining sent troops to Weininghai, and they stayed in hiding for twenty days at night. We finally got the good news from Weining Hai. This time, with the young master personally leading it, it seems that we have a chance to continue his legend." Zhang Rui said, "Ping Lupo is welcome, I still have you this time. I have the wisdom and foresight to walk against the snow and cross the Xuewozi Gobi Desert dozens of miles away to get here. I just caught up with him by chance."
"Haha. ."
Before anything else, the two people were already complimenting each other.
As he was talking, the messenger on the side came over and said, "Two generals, we have just returned from exploring the north. The snow is very thin for dozens of miles around, and there is no snow in some places. The Tatars are herding sheep here. At least hundreds of thousands of them, the camp is endless.”
“Ahem.” After hearing this, Ma Yi felt not only excited but also a little worried, “We don’t have many cannons. The road is also covered with snow. If there is no result in this battle, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the way back. "
Ma Yi can be regarded as a light horse.
I brought a lot of muskets, as well as light cannons, but I didn't bring any single cannons or heavy cannons, so that I could attack over long distances.
This place is three hundred miles away from Huamachi, but in fact they have walked at least five or six hundred miles since leaving the customs, and it took several twists and turns to get here.
Ma Yi’s subordinates are mostly elites from Datong. Half of them have participated in the previous bloody battles between Wang Shouren and the Tatars. It can be said that they are rare among the Ming army and have actual experience in grassland combat. elite cavalry.
Zhang Rui looked very proud and said, "What are you afraid of? It is better to die here than to live in a coward all your life. I believe that all the soldiers will think the same as me."
Ma Yi He looked around at the excited soldiers around him.
He didn’t have the nerve to say that this group of people didn’t want to fight hard now, but they had no way to escape. It was so far out of the customs, and there was still heavy snow and road closures behind them, and there were also deserts in the Gobi Desert. They didn’t want to escape. You can go back as soon as you go.
Ma Yi said, "Then bring back a few more Tatars, pour some oil and wax, and put out sky lanterns."
"Okay"
Zhang Rui High-five Ma Yi.
Both of them were very excited.
Ma Yi finally drew out his sword, raised it high above his head, and said loudly, "My sons, it is now that you will make great achievements."
The Capital, in a private room on the second floor of the theater building.
When Zhang Zhou came out, he also closed the door. Before he could take a few steps, Liu Gui came over and handed Zhang Zhou a greeting card.
Zhang Zhou just opened it and saw that the current wife of the Zhu Feng family, Chen Rui's daughter, was coming to visit him. He just handed the invitation back to Liu Guidao, "Tell her that in the past two days, I don’t have time to meet, so I asked her to go back and wait.”
Zhu Chen obviously came not for her husband Zhu Feng’s affairs, but for the Chen family.
Chen Rui is dead, but he is still a "criminal body". The matter of Chen Rui's son inheriting the title is still unsolved. Ping Jiangbo's once-powerful rhythm in the Ming army has also passed.
Zhang Zhou and Liu Gui were walking in front, and behind them there was the sound of the private room opening. Liu Gui couldn't help but want to look back.
Before he could turn around, Zhang Zhou said coldly, "What are you looking at?"
Liu Gui immediately realized what was going on and stopped looking back.
He also understood that this theater was not only a place for Zhang Zhou to talk with people, but also a place for Zhang Zhou to spend time. He could not only watch plays, enjoy the scenery, eat and entertain guests, but also have different kinds of entertainment here. Liu Gui is just a messenger who works in Jinyiwei. He is only responsible for protecting Zhang Zhou and other things have nothing to do with him.
Change to a new private room.
The window was open, and there was still singing on the stage outside, but it was Laosheng's singing. There were not many people in the audience below, and because of the cold weather, there were not many guests that day.
This play is more sung for Zhang Zhou.
As soon as Zhang Zhou sat down, Liu Gui said at the door, "Master, Eunuch Zhang from the Royal Horse Supervisor is here."
"Invite him in."
Zhang Zhou put down the official document in his hand, and Zhang Lushui, who had just come in with foot washing water on the other side, had no choice but to exit first.
Then Zhang Yong came with a smile on his face.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang has returned to Beijing."
Zhang Yong quickly said, "I was going to be transferred outside, but I wasn't transferred. I haven't been in Beijing all the time. Sir, don't worry. His Majesty asked him to come here. Your Majesty said that if there is anything wrong with the Dongchang, he will let Yang Peng and Eunuch Yang continue to take charge of the errands. I will temporarily leave the errands of the Beijing Camp to me. Please remember to bookmark this chapter after reading it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
