Shang Cheng let Zhenxiang into the upper room, sat down, served the freshly fried tea soup, and talked about the scenery of Shangjing and the story of Yanshan while speculating about the meaning of Zhenxiang. He didn't believe in the nonsense that the post house leaked and the time was not accurate. Zhenqian is here to report the news, and he knows this. It seems that a few important officials sent by the imperial court are idle in Yanzhou, not only waiting for the final treatment of Huo Shiqi by the imperial court, but also probably waiting for their own fake admiral to avoid suspicion. As for what to do with him, he couldn't figure it out for the time being. Anyway, it can't be to give him a lack of words.

Personally, he didn't want to speculate on the intentions of the Chincha. He really doesn't want to spend his time and energy trying to guess other people's minds, so he likes to go straight to everything. If it is good, it is not good, if it is not good, if it is not, it will be encouraged; It's okay to have controversy, it's okay to have different opinions, and if it's right or wrong, take it out and spread it out on the table to speak, don't make small moves below. But this can only be his wishful thinking. Many times, he can't help but think deeply and he can't help speculating. The environment is different, and his current position is too sensitive, he can think a lot of things but can't say them, and he can do many things but can't say them; Certain words or certain things, he must weigh them repeatedly in his heart before saying and doing them. Just like Cai and Zhang Shao, they mentioned that the gift of sending soldiers to return to their hometowns can be regarded as a task and handed over to the Wei Mansion to handle, but the letter to the imperial court to request the establishment of the system, but Zhang Shao must submit a document in the name of the Wei Mansion, because of the sensitive reason of his identity, he is both a general and the governor of Wei Town, in charge of the military and political affairs of Yanshan, and if he is not careful, he will be realized. Moreover, at present, Yanshan is newly defeated, and the imperial court is fighting over the question of which of the north and south should come first, and he has done a bad job of the "good things" of the southward faction, others want to trouble him if they have nothing to do, and if they are not careful, they are afraid that others will fall into the hole if they catch the mistake!

He was talking close to Zhenqian in his mouth, but other thoughts were turning in his heart. Giving the matter of gifting the soldiers to Wei Fu and Zhang Shao has both advantages and disadvantages: the disadvantage is that there is no precedent for this kind of thing, and Wei Fu is also a blind man who feels the elephant wherever he goes, and the details must not be thorough; The benefits are even more obvious, the matter has become the credit of his suggestion, and no one else can take this matter directly against him Chen Wen is Zhang Shao's chief writer, Guo Biao also has a joint name, and he is aimed at Zhang Guo and the two of them to clean up together, and Guo Biao has a pillar behind Zhao Poyang Hou......

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sure enough, it's a good shade under the big tree!

But what if he didn't? In the face of the cruel reality, he has no other way but to bow his head. At the same time, he also sneered at himself in his heart: Look! You, the fake commander, can not only earn the reputation of the joint name, but also not fall behind, and all the good things are taken up by you alone!

Thinking wildly, he listened to Zhenqian telling anecdotes about the past few months. I don't know how to do it, so the topic is pulled to Princess Nanyang. This widowed princess behaved very perversely in the past few years, which made the royal family a big disgrace. However, although this woman does things absurdly, she is extremely filial, no matter how others hate her and grit her teeth, she will inevitably return to the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month to fulfill her filial piety, so although the royal family is extremely angry with her behavior, there is nothing to do about her. But since the beginning of the year ago, this ridiculous princess has suddenly changed her sex inexplicably, and she has just lived in a manor outside the city in winter, except for entering the big inner to serve her parents, that is, occasionally seeing the brothers and sisters of the near branch in the Zhuangzi, and the rest of the outsiders are not seen. At the beginning of spring, the great calligrapher Huang Bei entered Beijing, and many people were looking forward to the grand meeting of the two famous artists, but she only sent someone to send a letter to Huang Bei to apologize, and no one came at all.

Shang Cheng had seen this princess and had a general impression, so he didn't feel strange when he heard about this strange thing. Zhang Shao has been in Yanshan for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the things in the capital, and he listens to it, and he doesn't pay much attention to it. However, Guo Biao, firstly, had only left Beijing for a short time, and secondly, Yanshan Dasima was also a temporary position, so he half answered and half said curiously: "This is a rare thing." He asked in a low voice, "Huaichun, look, is this the royal family going to marry her again?" ”

Zhen Qian didn't speak for a while, drooped his eyelids and drank tea soup, which was regarded as a default to Guo Biao, and then raised his head and said: "The family affairs of the Son of Heaven, we are not good at being courtiers. ”

Guo Biao snorted and said with a smile: "Pull it down." The Son of Heaven's family affairs are not easy to discuss, so when you sit here and talk to us, you are talking about business? ”

Zhenqian was born as a jinshi, but he has served two terms in the south, has led soldiers in military power, and has also suppressed several sea bandits, and the bookish qi on his body has naturally been honed and melted a lot. is also a soldier in the military department, dealing with people in the military every day, and naturally it is also contaminated with the heroism and cheerfulness of some martial artists, listening to Guo Biao's teasing, he raised his face and smiled, and said: "I really don't know about this." However, this is too unexpected, so it is inevitable that there will be some rumors. One of the more credible ones is indeed marriage. It is likely to be a nephew of General Xiao, and it is also rumored to be the fourth son of Zhang Xiangguo. ”

Guo Biao frowned and said, "Zhang Pu's fourth son? It's the one that was compiled at the Hanlin Academy, right? Seeing Zhenqian nodded, he said in surprise, "The age of Zhang Sigongzi seems to be two years older than my family Chengye, it is impossible to have no family, right?" His eldest son, Guo Xu, is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today and also works in the Hanlin Academy, so as soon as Zhenqian mentioned the fourth son of the Zhang family, he immediately had an impression.

In this regard, Zhen Qian obviously knew more than he did. Zhen Qian said: "Zhang Wenbo is thirty-six years old this Chinese New Year's Eve. His original partner was the eldest daughter of the prefect of Huzhou, who died of illness last winter. ”

Shang Cheng and Zhang Shao glanced at each other. Zhen Qian even inquired about this clearly, obviously more optimistic about this family matter. I think there should be a lot of people who have the same idea as him, maybe it is the consensus of the officials of the three provinces and six ministries.

Shang Cheng thought a little further. He thought that Zhang Pu was the right minister and the leader of the Southward Advancement faction, and his voice in the court was already loud, and he had already suppressed Dong Quan, who only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back; When he and the emperor climb up to the in-laws again, the limelight will inevitably be unique for a while, and whether Dong Quan and others can still occupy a place in the court at that time is ambiguous......

Thinking of Zhang Pu and the Nanjin faction becoming more powerful, his heart was even more worried. The situation is pressing! It seems that as time goes by, the further back you go, the more difficult it becomes to implement and implement the strategy of first north and then south. What made him even more anxious was that in this situation, he could no longer freely carry out military operations in Yanshan, even if he saw the enemy's flaws and loopholes, he must obey the strategy formulated by the imperial court.

But does he have to submit to a bad decision?

But that's not something he can change. All he can do is obey. Even if he thinks that "first the south and then the north" is a mistake, he must obey and carry it out!

He couldn't help but lament how small and insignificant a person's power was in the face of the imminent greatness of the Nanjin faction!

Just when he was full of emotion, Suza announced outside the door that the scholar Zhu Xuan had arrived.
