705,Battle of the Daimyofu (21)
Zheng Fei's move made Zheng Xiunian stunned, he hesitated for a moment or stretched out his hand to pick up the envelope in front of him, took out the letter inside and looked at it carefully, but saw that he only looked at the beginning and his whole body shook violently, the more he looked back, his face became worse and worse, and even the hand holding the letter trembled involuntarily!
Since Zhao Huan and Zheng Juzhong formed an alliance in recent years, the relationship between Zheng Xiunian and Zhao Huan has become more and more intimate, and the correspondence continues, and Zhao Huan even calls him "cousin" in private to show his closeness, so Zheng Xiunian can see at a glance that every word on this letter is Zhao Huan's handwriting, and it is exactly like this, these words are like lightning bolts, slashing into his heart, splitting shockingly, splitting him with horror!
"You...... You......! Zheng Xiunian suddenly raised his head and stared at Zheng Fei with wide eyes, his eyes full of horror as if he was looking at a devil, "Where did this come from?!" ”
After that, Zheng Xiunian endured the waves in his heart and stared at Zheng Fei deadly, trying in vain to find even the slightest hesitation in Zheng Fei's expression, although he was almost ninety percent sure that this letter was indeed written by Zhao Huan, even if he knew that the possibility was very small, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart, as long as Zheng Fei showed the slightest flaw, or could not give him a reasonable explanation, he would immediately decide that this letter was definitely forged by a person who is very good at imitating other people's handwriting after imitating Zhao Huan's words!
Zheng Fei was waiting for this sentence, he looked at Zhu Wu and nodded, Zhu Wu waved his hand outward, and then saw a figure suddenly staggering in from the outside,
Zheng Xiunian took a look, and saw that it was a person wearing the official uniform of the fourth grade of the Great Song Dynasty, but the official uniform was dirty, and it was torn in a few places, and he looked like he had suffered a hardship, but even so, this person did not show the slightest embarrassment, but a look of anger on his face, and he looked at everyone in the hall coldly, which was really upright!
Zheng Xiunian looked at this person and felt a little familiar at first, and then looked at it and couldn't help but be taken aback and exclaimed at him, "Zhang...... Master Zhang?! ”
This person looked at this side suspiciously, and saw that Zheng Xiunian had some doubts on his face at first, and then suddenly shook his whole body and exclaimed, "Ah, yes...... Lord Zheng! "That expression was indescribably surprised and shocked, as if it was a ghost!
Zheng Fei looked at the realistic expression on Zhang Shuye's face on the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, before he came, Zhang Shuye had already told Zheng Fei that five years ago, when he had not been squeezed out of Beijing by Cai Jing, he was a servant of the Ministry of Officials, who was responsible for the assessment of officials inside and outside the court, which can be described as hot, Zheng Xiunian happened to be promoted that year, so he dealt with him a few times, although the two have not seen each other for five years since then, but he can remember Zheng Xiunian, presumably Zheng Xiunian can also remember him, He was sure that Zheng Xiunian would believe that he was a messenger of the imperial court, and then prove the truth of the letter.
However, Zheng Fei is not worried about whether Zheng Xiunian still recognizes Uncle Zhang, what he is worried about is whether Uncle Zhang will show his stuff, Uncle Zhang is notoriously upright and upright, such people are straight-tempered, and the worst thing is acting, Zheng Xiunian is such a shrewd person, as long as Zhang Shuye shows a little flaw, he will be discovered.
But now it seems that Zheng Fei knows that his worries are completely overwhelmed, and the changes in Uncle Zhang's expression from entering the house to recognizing Zheng Xiunian are so natural and impeccable, which can be called an actor-level performance! If he was also in the dark, he would definitely believe Uncle Zhang's performance at this moment.
Thinking of this, Zheng Fei couldn't help but recall the whole process from the first meeting with Uncle Zhang to this reunion, over the years, Uncle Zhang gave himself the feeling that in addition to his eternal mercy and loyalty to the people, there has been no change in the slightest, many of his things have changed, the most obvious of which is the change in his way of being in the world, the previous Zhang Shuye was like a stunned young man in politics, with fearless courage to adhere to his principles, no matter how powerful the forces and enemies he faced, Even if he was the only one in the entire court who was fighting alone, he dared to challenge Cai Jing, who was in full swing at that time, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, even if he was oppressed and hit by Cai Jing, he did not hesitate to be wounded, but now he has a little more flexibility, as if he suddenly opened his mind, he can freely lower his body and take different ways to deal with problems and solve problems, although some people will think that this change is a compromise of the world's secular laws, but it is undeniable that he has become more powerful because of it, It is also more suitable for living in the environment of the Great Song Dynasty in which you are deceitful and you live and die!
So what brought about this change in him? Zheng Fei thought about it, and it must have been caused by his undercover work in the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years. But it would be incorrect to say that he changed just to not reveal his identity, he was not even afraid of death, and after being captured to Jindi, he would rather die than eat a grain of rice in Jindi, how could he be afraid of the catastrophe caused by revealing his identity?
Therefore, the real reason is his enthusiasm for the people of Limin, he used to be upright, he only recognized principles and did not admit affection for the people of Limin, and later he went undercover, also for the people of Limin.
For the sake of the people, he can sacrifice everything he has, even if it is the principle that he regards as his life!
Zheng Fei glanced at Zhang Shuye deeply, although he still had to pretend to be angry and dissatisfied on his expression, but he felt a kind of pride in his heart, no matter what, a loyal soul of the Han nation had changed his destined tragic fate and started a new life in himself. Maybe because of this, he will no longer be remembered by history, known and respected by future generations, and even no longer famous in history, but he can live more freely, freely use his own way to dedicate his strength to the Han nation, and realize his ideals!
Compared with becoming a tragic hero who sacrificed for the nation, it is more important to be able to live and bring greater dedication to the nation! The tragic hero is the sad product of an era, and what Zheng Fei wants to do is to end this sad era and create an era without heroes, but happy!
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Here, Uncle Zhang and Zheng Xiunian both looked at each other in shock,
Zheng Fei also pretended to be surprised at this time and looked at the two of them strangely, "Yo, it turns out that you still know each other?" Hehe, this is easy to do, Zheng Xiunian, this letter was collected from this imperial court's envoy, Uncle Zhang. ”
Governors? Zheng Xiunian's heart jumped, and then he remembered that a few days ago, he did hear that the DPRK had sent a minister to inspect the war situation, could it be that this Qincha was him? Uncle Zhang?
Zheng Xiunian immediately looked at Zhang Shuye, only to see that Zhang Shuye, who had just been righteous, looked at the envelope on the ground and the letter in his hand with a pale face as if he remembered something, and when he found that he was looking at him, he obviously avoided his gaze in a panic, and his expression was obviously a little unnatural for a moment, even if he immediately looked at Zheng Linfeng with anger on his face and shouted, "Dog thief, if you want to kill it, you can do whatever you want, don't frame this official!" This is by no means written by the Prince! But his changes have fallen exactly in his eyes!
Zheng Xiunian chuckled in his heart, then looked at Zheng Fei and smiled coldly, and suddenly asked Uncle Zhang, "Lord Zhang, I didn't say who wrote this letter, how do you know that it is me and Lord Zheng who are talking about the prince?" ”
Uncle Zhang trembled all over, looked at Zheng Fei and Zheng Xiunian dumbfounded, he was already covered with cold sweat and couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiunian finally sat down on the ground in frustration, he finally believed it completely, that's right, this letter must have been written by Zhao Huan himself, and then handed it to this Uncle Zhang and asked him to secretly transfer it to Yao Gu as a messenger!
In an instant, the anger towards Zhao Huan, the sorrow for the Zheng family, the pain of being betrayed, and the fear of the terrible consequences that his family was about to encounter rose in Zheng Xiunian's heart, making him feel like falling into an ice cellar and almost fainting!
Zheng Fei was overjoyed when he saw this, and then he quickly winked at Uncle Zhang, and shouted at the same time, "Take him down!" Keep a good watch! ”
At this time, Zheng Xiunian raised his head suddenly, and looked at Zhang Shuye with an extremely angry expression, as if he wanted to kill him on the spot, he had already determined that Zhang Shuye was Zhao Huan's person, and he came to the Daimyo's Mansion this time not to inspect the battle situation at all, but to secretly give Yao Gu an order to let Yao Gu plot to kill him!
Uncle Zhang let out a long sigh and was escorted out by several soldiers, and during the whole process, he "didn't dare" to look at Zheng Xiunian even once, and this also confirmed Zheng Xiunian's thoughts even more.
"May I ask how you caught him?" Zheng Xiunian asked Zheng Fei, this is also his last question now, Zhang Shuye is the minister of the Qin Mission, and there is such an important letter hidden on his body, how can Zheng Linfeng catch him?!
Zheng Fei smiled, smiling so confidently, as if he had controlled everything in his hands, and then glanced at Zheng Xiunian playfully and said, "I can even catch you, what's the big deal about catching a Qincha." ”
Zheng Xiunian was stunned for a moment, and his face couldn't help but get hot, yes, he was the commander of the three armies of the Song Dynasty who could be arrested by him as a prisoner, he did this impossible thing, in comparison, it is not impossible to catch an unsuspecting Qincha,
Soon, Zheng Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, forced himself to calm down, and then asked Zheng Fei again, "Excuse me...... What are you telling me all this for? With his cleverness, he quickly figured out the reason why Zhao Huan wanted to attack the Zheng family, and now his father and family, who are still in the dark, will soon face a catastrophe! He wouldn't think that Zheng Fei was just telling him this for fun, he knew very well that he must have important use value, and this might become the only hope to save himself and his family!
Zheng Fei glanced at Zheng Xiunian approvingly, and said with a smile, "Smart, I want you to write a letter to your father immediately and tell him about it." ”
