At this time, Jiang Yuji also had a letter in his hand, and the content of the letter was the same as that in Zhuang Hongyu's hand.

Zhuang Hongzhi, the general of Zhenguo, died of illness.

When this news reached Dadian, it shook the court, because Dadian had lost the general who had guarded the frontier for decades!

Undoubtedly, it is a big loss for Dadian, and it is a great loss for Zhuang.

This also means that the backers of the Zhuang family have fallen. The Zhuang clan has no capital for pride.

Zhuang Hong's pardon led 80,000 troops to garrison the frontier, which was not only an honor for the Zhuang family, but also a reason for them to be confident, and the 80,000 soldiers were equivalent to holding in the hands of the Zhuang family.

Zhuang's Wenneng Anbang, Wu Neng Dingguo, and now the military generals of Dingguo are dead, which is a very worrying thing for Zhuang's and Dadian.

Zhuang Hongpardon finished reading the letter in his hand, and looked up to the sky and cried: "Second brother, why did you leave like this?" Alas! ”

For a while, there was a mournful cry in the Zhuang Mansion, which did not stop for a long time.

When he received an urgent report from the army, he announced that he was the first to see the dragon's face.

Taihe Temple.

Tasting Qiang fidgeted, paced around, and saw Fu Longyan coming in, he hurriedly took two steps closer and asked: "General Jian, you are here, General Zhuang is gone, and now there is no one stationed at the border pass, what should I do?" ”

Ji Longyan said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, now is the time to quickly choose someone to take over the position of General Zhuang. ”

Wei Qiang nodded again and again: "What is the right candidate for General Xuan?" You might as well recommend one or two. ”

Zhuang Hongzhi garrisoned the border pass is the barbarian country to the Great Dian must pass through, years of small wars, more than conflicts, the terrain is critical, for the Great Dian is very dangerous, so there must be a general personally lead the troops to garrison.

If the border pass is breached, then it is not far from the collapse of the Great Dian country, and its importance can be imagined.

Ji Longyan pondered for a moment and said: "In terms of qualifications, General Zhuang's deputy general Ma He should be selected, but he is too heartfelt for General Zhuang, I am afraid that he is only willing to listen to Zhuang's family, not the king, if he is used, the last general is really worried." In terms of ability, there is still one candidate for the general. "It's hard to worry about the left and right.

Taste Qiang hurriedly said: "When is it, what else is the general selling, just say it, who else is it?" ”

Heavy rain suddenly fell outside the hall, and the sound of the rain covered up Long Yan's words, but it could be faintly heard: "It's Dong Wen, the deputy general of the last general." ”

Taste Qiang was puzzled: "Dong Wen is available?" ”

"Naturally, he followed the last general for ten years, went into battle to kill the enemy, and was proficient in arranging troops, although the last general relied on him very much, but he did not dare to bury his ability, now it is the king's plan to use people, and the last general has to hand him over to the king to decide." ”

"Dong Wen, but Dong Wen, who single-handedly killed 200 enemy troops five years ago?" Taste Qiang said in surprise.

"It's him. This person has the style of a general, he really shouldn't be buried, in terms of ability and military skills, it is most suitable for the king to send him to guard the border pass. Long Yan hurriedly smiled.

"Except for him, is there no one available in the court?" Taste Qiang still asked a little uneasy.

"Yes, Yongrui, but this man is short-tempered, and he is the most unsuitable to be stationed at the border gate. What the king knows, the key to guarding the border is to be stable, not to take the initiative to provoke trouble, but also to cultivate both internally and externally, this is a long-term process, and people who are impatient cannot hold it at all, but they are afraid that they will cause trouble. ”

Only then did he nod his head again and again: "What General Jian said is that the person guarding the border must have patience, which is particularly important, it seems that Dong Wen is more suitable than Yongrui." ”

"There's one more person available." Long Yan said again.

"Who is it?" Taste Qiang wondered.

"Zhuang Shaoyang, the eldest son of General Zhuang, he has been stationed at the border with his father since he was a child, and he only returned to Beijing in the past two years, and then transferred to the north, in fact, the most suitable person is him, he is very familiar with there, and the people in the army are somewhat familiar with him, and he is very easy to use. It's just that he is still young, and it is not his turn to be qualified in terms of qualifications. There are no dazzling military feats, but it is somewhat unjustifiable to rely on the suppression of the northern border. ”

"Shaoyang can't do it, he is not yet twenty, and he is a member of the Zhuang family, and the border soldiers are loyal to the Zhuang family, if he is sent, the Zhuang family has something to rely on, which is not appropriate." Taste Qiang immediately shook his head in approval.

"What does the king think of Dong Wen?"

"Then Dong Wen, this king believes in Dong Wen's ability, his temper is good, humble and scrupulous, with him guarding the border, this king is more relieved. The king of Ming Japan summoned him to his post. ”

"The king is wise!" Sister Long praised sincerely.

The two of them also summed up the situation in the world and the defense of the border pass, and only then did they leave the palace.

When Jiang Yuji received the note from Jiao Longyan, she was not surprised at all, this Dong text was the candidate that she discussed with Jiao Longyan and compared and investigated one by one.

Letting him take Zhuang Hongzhi's place is a particularly crucial decision, and it is also the highest move of this move.

It's just that others only think that Dong Wen is a person with a dragon's face and is upright, but they didn't expect that Dong Wen is really talented in governing the army.

His departure will definitely reverse Zhuang Hongzhi's previous business method that he has bothered for more than 20 years, which can be described as subversive.

For the imperial court, there is only benefit and harmlessness.

In the past two days, Zhuang's mansion is preparing for Zhuang Hongzhi's funeral.

Zhuang Hongzhi's coffin is already on the way, but fortunately, it is late autumn, and it is estimated that the corpse will not stink when touched, and there are cold ice auxiliaries, so there will be no problems.

Everything is ready, Zhuang Hongzhi's coffin returned to the capital smoothly, and today is his funeral.

He personally went out of the palace to mourn, and posthumously named him the general of Huwei, and his heirs enjoyed the dukes of the generations.

Jiang Yuji, as a princess, should not have left the palace, but in terms of seniority, Jiang Yuji wanted to call Zhuang Hongzhi an uncle, so she decided to go out of the palace.

Of course, the reason for her to leave the palace is also very sufficient, and it is the will of the queen of heaven.

She went to pay tribute to Zhuang Hongzhi for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother couldn't leave the palace due to illness, so it was right to visit her cousin.
