Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Bad Omen
Tian Chu was so shocked that he couldn't even take care of the loss of etiquette, he gasped, and his left hand subconsciously held the hilt of the sword at his waist. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Empress Dowager Tian didn't wait for him to ask, so she handed over the fold that reported the situation of folding his protection.
Tian Chu hurriedly opened the fold, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he only glanced at it hurriedly.
Breaking its protection is a violent death.
He died in a small post station on the official road from Yongzhou to Guizhou.
The little official of the post station estimated that he had never seen an official above the third grade in his life, and this time there was no general under his jurisdiction, and a report to report the situation was written with sincerity and fear, so that people could already sketch the tearful line of the little official behind him without taking a look at the face.
"This is the moment!" Empress Dowager Tian rubbed her temples and gritted her teeth.
Tian Chu didn't dare to speak.
The reason for this is that they have been protected by the two sides, and relying on their accumulated military exploits in Guizhou and Guangzhou over the past few decades, everyone feels that it is easy to repel them.
Now that there is no protection of it, how long will it take to fight this cross-toe, and how to play it, it has really become a problem.
Empress Dowager Tian couldn't help but continue to complain: "That Liu Yi is clearly a corpse vegetarian eater!" Yesterday it was said that there were 3,000 Jiaozhi elites, but today it has become 5,000, and there is no fixed number, and I don't know what I want him to do! Back to only say that the troops were insufficient, clamoring for reinforcements, and arching the responsibility to Su Ling's head, not to mention that it is still unclear whether Su Ling is merit or fault, even if Su Ling really made a mistake, where is it his turn to judge! He doesn't want to quickly repel the thieves and recapture Yongzhou, why am I raising him!? ”
Empress Dowager Tian has been tired from the border war in recent days, and at this moment she finally took an opportunity to vent her grievances entangled by the courtiers.
She paused for a while, turned the topic back to business, and said: "Zhang Qian is a tiger general, but it's a pity that he is too greedy for merit, you are not busy when you go to Guizhou, take care of him first, if there is anything wrong, someone will report it immediately!" ”
Tian Chu replied verbally and asked, "If General Zhang's subordinates kill good people and take the risk." ”
Empress Dowager Tian scolded angrily: "He dares! ”
After speaking, she seemed to think of something, and said: "I will send someone to check the head of the thief in a few days, you tell him not to be lucky, and restrain your subordinates!" If you really want to repel Jiaozhi, you can't thank him for his credit! ”
Tian Chu didn't think that Zhang Qian would pay attention to the will he brought.
It is true that Zhang Qian is a tiger general, but his official reputation has always been very bad, and his subordinates burned, killed, plundered, and killed good people during the war, and were jointly impeached many times by the Yushitai. It is also because of this that he was suppressed in Fengxiang Mansion, which is not easy to have war, to prevent him from making provocations for the sake of military exploits.
However, Tian Chu was not stupid enough to say this to Empress Dowager Tian.
He received the order and was about to say goodbye, when Wang Wenyi bowed and led a hurried substitute into the palace gate. The anxious foot was covered with sweat, and when he saw the Empress Dowager Tian, he hurriedly saluted and hurriedly presented the urgent report with both hands.
Wang Wenyi took the urgent report and handed it to the Empress Dowager Tian.
Empress Dowager Tian glanced at it, and a layer of frost hung on her face in an instant. She shouted, "Who is on duty in the palace today!" Wang Wenyi, who is on duty in the Privy Council?! Call me all over!! ”
As he spoke, he threw the urgent report in his hand to Tian Chu and scolded: "Look at it, look at it!" Liu Yi, that waste! Qinzhou and Liuzhou can actually be lost! Is he planning to throw Guizhou to me in a few days?! ”
Tian Chu received the urgent report, but he didn't follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager Tian to dismantle it, so he handed it to Wang Wenyi and said: "The Empress Dowager is not angry, the walls of Guizhou City are thick, and there are elite soldiers, so there will be no mistakes." ”
Empress Dowager Tian took his small action into her eyes, her scolding gradually weakened, and she couldn't help but nod secretly.
Everyone outside says that they favor Tian Chu, but who of them can be as cautious as him, and they must be strong if they don't pinch the tip!
Changed to an ordinary courtier, if you have the opportunity to get the military emergency report as soon as possible, which is not to take advantage of the situation, only your nephew knows how to advance and retreat, keep his duty, and know that the important ministers have not yet arrived, and he is a captain, neither has the authority nor the qualification to peek first.
Wang Wenyi took the opportunity to run out to find the important ministers on duty in the palace, and the Empress Dowager Tian secretly instructed for a long time, and Tian Chu saw that the ministers had not yet arrived, so he retreated, and went home to pack up his things and do not mention it.
Not to mention how the ministers and important ministers in the palace discussed the border war with the Empress Dowager Tian, in the Protectorate Mansion, Mrs. Zhao was cheering up to deal with the Lu family, the wife of Cheng Suquan in the imperial history.
“…… Others don't know, Zhongchang, this child I have seen since I was a child, where can I not worry...... It's just that our two families are different after all, Yanzhi and Zhongchang are both reading with the emperor, and it's a little inappropriate to be in-laws......"
She found a high-sounding excuse to reject the Su family's proposal to marry.
Lu has an ordinary appearance, a round face, a medium build, and looks like an ordinary woman who is very easy to deal with, she echoed with a smile on her face: "I thought the same way, but now I want to say goodbye to Zhongchang, and after looking around, it seems that everyone is good, and it seems that they are not very suitable, and I feel that I am left-handed until the end, where is there more suitable than your girl?" Don't talk about anything else, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, and their temperaments are compatible, if it's just because of these reasons, it's a pity that it's not easy to get married. ”
Although Zhou Yanzhi and Su Zhongchang have a good relationship, Zhou and Su have always maintained a tacit relationship, one is that they don't want people to think that they are the imperial party, the other is afraid that people will mistakenly think that the two families are holding together, and the third is that Mrs. Zhao deliberately did it.
Old Madam Zhao didn't like Su Quan very much, and felt that he and Yang Shu were too utilitarian and not a long-term way.
She thoughtfully picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea.
The Lu family knew that this matter was in a hurry, and said: "We are not busy for this moment, at this moment, Zhongchang and your family are in Guizhou together, and when they come back after making meritorious contributions, they have an official body, let's discuss it again!" Just say it first, our family is at the top of the list, please don't forget. ”
Old Madam Zhao immediately said: "You are confused, people like us talk about relatives, what kind of official body do you see...... It's just a picture of character and temperament, but the two are really not suitable, if you can trust me, I will be a matchmaker for Zhongchang, what do you think? ”
The Lu family touched a nail, but they were not discouraged, Su Zhongchang was not in a hurry to get married, she was just ordered by Su Quan to explore the idea of the Protector Mansion on the marriage of the two families.
She was mentally prepared for rejection, knowing that this was not something that could be done easily, so she was not discouraged, and said with a smile: "The old lady bluffed me, where is there anything comparable to your girl." ”
After a little gossip, he took his leave.
As soon as she left, Mama Meng said, "Why do so many people want to marry our family recently......"
Old Madam Zhao frowned, "Regardless of this, I always feel that something is wrong with Guizhou, and there won't be anything wrong with Yanzhi staying there......"
