Chapter 31 Cochin and the West

The summer of Xuande was particularly hot, but in the early morning, the sun had not yet risen, and the cool air shrouded the floor tiles of the Forbidden City.

It feels very refreshing.

A group of more than 100 people, under the leadership of Wang Zhen, walked among the red walls.

The leader is naturally Zhang Zhong. Behind him was Shi Jing. Behind Shi Jing, there are the children of various families, as well as the relatives of the Sun family and the Zhang family.

Of course, there are nearly a third, but they are not from the noble circle, but they are really good players. Not to mention 10,000 enemies, he is also the kind of master who can rush into battle and fall into battle several times.

Wang Zhen said as he walked: "You are on an errand in the Qianqing Palace, you must pay attention to the system, your scope of activity is only the Qianqing Palace, except for the Qianqing Palace, you are not allowed to go anywhere, especially in the harem, when the time comes, you will lose your head and implicate your family, don't say, the miscellaneous family did not remind you." ”

"The four words 'palace is strictly forbidden' are written in blood." Wang Zhen said: "Do you know, the name Hu Mei? If you don't know, go back and inquire, don't die, you don't know how to die. ”

Each of these guards is dignified, and the ancient election officials also have requirements for appearance, not to mention being an errand by the emperor's side.

Of course, Hu Mei's case has been decades ago, and it was a matter of the Hongwu period, and many people don't know about it, but Zhang Zhong understands it very well.

Hu Mei's original name was Hu Tingrui, but she avoided Zhu Yuanzhang and changed her name to Hu Mei. It turned out to be Chen Youliang's general stationed in Jiangxi, it is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang recruited Hu Mei at that time, Hu Mei asked not to disband his subordinates, Zhu Yuanzhang originally did not want to agree, and it was Liu Bowen who kicked Zhu Yuanzhang's throne in the back, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

After that, Hu Mei and Xu Da joined forces to attack Wuchang, and they wanted to move to Fujian and Guangdong, with great achievements, and even a daughter married Zhu Yuanzhang.

But because Hu Mei's son entered and left the palace without authorization, some people rumored that he had an affair with some people in the palace, and Hu Mei's family was executed.

was originally the founding general, but he didn't even have a reputation left.

The guards behind not everyone knew Hu Mei, but many nobles and Zhang Zhong understood this.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Especially before going to the Qianqing Palace. They didn't dare to gasp.

One hundred and twenty men, divided into two columns, all dressed in brocade robes, with long knives at their waists, and distinct armor.

Wang Zhen went in for a while, and a small eunuch brought them in.

saw that Zhu Qizhen had already gotten up. The group immediately fell to the ground and said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Flat." ”

Wang Zhen pointed on the side, and whispered who these people were, and told Zhu Qizhen who they were.

Although Zhu Qizhen has already seen the list. It's just that the list may not be matched with the real person.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at it, but found that although these people were standing together, they had a sense of distinction, these noble children had learned the etiquette of entering the palace since they were children, and they were all very familiar. But there are some people who clearly show a lack of etiquette.

Zhu Qizhen immediately understood that among this group of people, there were only a few dozen people who could really fight.

Zhu Qizhen pointed to one of the big men and said, "You call it, report it." ”

As soon as this big man spoke, his voice was like a flood bell, and he said: "Weichen is Zhang Dachuan of Zunhua Wei Baihu. ”

Zhu Qizhen heard this name, compared it with the list, and said: "Zhang Dachuan, I remember that you, a hundred households, were promoted by the first emperor. ”

Zhang Dachuan said loudly: "Exactly." Xuande three years, the minister for the night does not collect, and the Tartar more than ten riding, the minister hit, beheaded four, the rest all fled, the first emperor heard it, especially promoted. In fact, if it weren't for Weichen's bad horses at that time, none of these more than ten Tartars would have been able to run. ”

As soon as Zhu Qizhen heard it, he knew that Zhang Fu was attentive.

Zhang Dachuan dares to be in the wild, with more than a dozen enemies, and he can also behead four, you can see his ability. Zhang Dachuan is like this, and the other dozens of guards who are not from noble backgrounds will probably not be too bad.

What's more, these people are all people who were single-handedly promoted by Emperor Xuanzong.

That is to say, if Emperor Xuanzong can live for a few decades, this group of people is likely to be the founding heroes, and after the Jingnan heroes, but the Xuanmiao heroes.

These people's loyalty to Emperor Xuanzong was the greatest. And then he transferred his loyalty to him.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Commander Zhang, Shi Jing and Zhang Dachuan, just be your deputy." ”

Zhang Zhong hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

One hundred and twenty guards, divided into two shifts, guarded day and night, and Zhang Zhong served as the commander of the guards because his father was a British duke.

However, Zhu Qizhen also knew that Zhang Zhong's body was estimated to be impossible to guard day and night, and the real power was on his two deputies, one of whom was Shi Jing, that is, the future master of the horse. can be trusted.

On the other hand, Zhu Qizhen chose Zhang Dachuan, just because he was born at the bottom and had nothing to do with Xungui.

If Emperor Xuanzong hadn't been promoted, and now he is just a night away, just look at him and know that he is the person promoted by Emperor Xuanzong, Xuande has been three years to now, six or seven years, and he is still a hundred households.

Just know that there is no one above him.

Zhu Qizhen asked Zhang Zhong to arrange the guards of the Qianqing Palace, and then summoned Zhang Zhong.

Zhang Zhong's figure was a little thin, but in front of Zhu Qizhen, there was no trace of rudeness, but Zhu Qizhen saw that Zhang Zhong's sideburns were sweaty.

Although it is already summer, the morning is still relatively cool. Zhang Zhong is like this, which shows that wearing a military uniform, with a sword and a sword, is a burden for Zhang Zhong.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen didn't feel good in his heart.

First, Zhang Fu has made great contributions to the country, but his heirs are like this, obviously unable to support the British government, which is the pillar that supports the confrontation between the nobles and the civil officials.

Once Zhang Fu is gone, there will be no successor to the British government. Who will fight against the civilian officials?

Second, Zhu Qizhen did not have a trace of joy in private.

As the first person in martial arts, Zhang Fu has a high prestige, very old qualifications, and outstanding military achievements. Such a great general, even if it is now similar to being at home, is only in the cabinet to be consulted. Nor is it an object that the emperor can easily rest assured.

If Zhang Fu's children and grandchildren are full of talents, Zhu Qizhen will only be more worried.

Now when the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, Zhang Fu's only son is like this. Zhu Qizhen was more relieved of Zhang Fu. Thinking that even if Zhang Fu rebelled, he would just marry others. So why bother?

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen's attitude towards Zhang Zhong is even better.

Zhu Qizhen immediately gave a seat, and after the two sat down, Zhu Qizhen handed a letter to Wang Zhen, and then Wang Zhen handed it to Zhang Zhong, Zhu Qizhen said: "The previous cabinet newspaper said that it was a sinner who abandoned Jiaozhi, and he was still in prison asking how to deal with it. ”

"Wang Daban also often said that abandoning Jiaozhi is the first hated thing in this dynasty."

"Ling Zun pacified the toe several times, and had a deep understanding of the matter of the toe, and when he abandoned the toe, he raised it up and down, and he made the power of the Zun no. Now that I have met Commander Zhang, I want to ask, what is the matter of Jiaozhi? ”

When Zhang Zhong heard this, his heart moved.

immediately knew what to say, because he could see the tendencies from Zhu Qizhen's tone.

The reason is very simple, most of Zhang Fu's life's work is in Jiaozhi, and everyone knows Zhang Fu's attitude in Jiaozhi, as a son, he will never slap his father in the face.

Zhang Zhong said: "Back to Your Majesty, the layman thinks that the loss of the Jiaozhi Chen family is the reason why the dynasty is cutting Jiaozhi, almost at the same time, the Korean Li family also usurped the country, why did Emperor Taizong not cut down Korea, but cut Jiaozhi?" ”

"It's the sin of Jiaozhi that is greater, no, but Emperor Taizong's military fingers, which is intended to be in Nanyang."

"Emperor Taizong sent the Three Treasure Eunuchs to the West, and the matter of cutting down Jiaozhi is one and two, two and one thing, not greedy for the land of Jiaozhi, but to destroy Jiaozhi to deter the Nanyang and the West, and to the south of Jiaozhi, for the military port of the country, just a stone's throw away from the Nanyang. As long as one elite soldier is stationed, the South Seas will enter the territory. ”

"The Han and Tang Dynasties covered the Western Regions, which was the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and now the Western Regions are withering, and they are no longer victorious, and it is useless to take them. Therefore, Emperor Taizong wanted to take Nanyang and achieve the prosperity of this dynasty, which was the original intention of Emperor Taizong. ”

"Now that Jiaozhi is lost, within a few years, the operation of the Three Treasure Eunuchs will be lost, and the loss of Jiaozhi will be the loss of Nanyang and the West."
