Chapter 142: Another Way

Zhou Zheng listened to Yuan Chonghuan's words, and felt helpless.

What else can I do? When it came to this, Yuan Chonghuan didn't listen to it at all, did he have to ask Huang Taiji to defeat Mao Wenlong and attack the hinterland of Daming from Xifengkou in order to wake up a few points?

With the situation of Daming, how to fight with Jianyu? Even if there is no captivity, the loss of the country is a matter of time!

Zhou Zheng is completely dead to the current situation.

Without waiting for the guards of the military department to come over, Zhou Zheng raised his hand towards Yuan Chonghuan and said, "The lower official has no future, I just hope that Lord Yuan can listen to a few words of advice from the lower official." ”

With that, he walked straight outside.

When Zhou Zheng turned around, he was already sighing in his heart, and then planned a new route.

There is no hope on the road to the court, there is another way!

Yuan Chonghuan's face was expressionless, ignoring Zhou Zheng's words.

Huang Weihuai was full of anger and gave a death order to the guards.

The guards didn't dare to offend Zhou Zheng, they didn't shackle him, or they didn't hold anything, they just surrounded Zhou Zheng on both sides and carefully 'escorted' him away.

"Wait!" Just as Zhou Zheng turned around, suddenly a deep cry sounded in the quiet hall.

The sound sounded so abruptly that everyone looked at the source of the sound.

Full of Gui!

I saw that he had already inserted the knife back and stood in the hall, looking at Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng with a hairy face that could not be seen clearly.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Man Gui and frowned.

Huang Weihuai turned to Man Gui, his pupils shrank, he knew that Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan were not compatible, and he also knew that Li Hengbing in the court was using Man Gui to frame Zhou Zheng.

Huang Weihuai didn't give Man Gui a chance to speak, and said directly: "Lord Man, this is our business, do you want to interfere?" ”

Man Gui returned to the chair and sat down, took a sip of wine, and said, "I'm just curious, they are all imperial envoys, when can the chief envoy arrest the deputy envoy at will?" Doesn't that mean that the governor of Liaodong can grasp the Liaodong strategy at will, as well as the general army or something? ”

The envoy is a senior official, representing the emperor, and from the regulatory point of view, the governor of Liaodong can also see the salute.

What Man Gui said seemed to be no problem, but in fact, he was sneering and told Yuan Chonghuan. He is now the chief soldier and is stationed in Matsuyama Castle.

Yuan Chonghuan sat still as if he hadn't arrived at anything.

Huang Weihuai looked at Man Gui and said in a deep voice: "This official is the chief envoy appointed by the emperor, if someone talks nonsense and sabotages this mission, of course he has the right to arrest him and send him to the capital for punishment!" ”

"You don't!"

Zhou Zheng, who had already turned around, turned back and looked at Li Hengbing and said lightly.

"What did you say?" Huang Weihuai's expression was grim, staring at Zhou Zheng and said coldly.

Man Gui picked up the chopsticks, picked a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it out loud sounds.

Zhou Zheng looked at Huang Weihuai and said, "You have no right to arrest me, I haven't done anything wrong." On the contrary, it is you, in the face of the thieves' wild words, you are afraid, you don't say a word, you ignore the righteousness, you regard the country and society as nothing, and now you are brazenly blaming me, ridiculous! Also, I am also the emperor's deputy envoy, even if you are the chief envoy, you have no right to arrest me directly, what you have to do is to write to the court and wait for the court's decision. If you dare to imprison yourself, then try whether my pen is good enough! ”

Man Gui's words just now were a sneer at Yuan Chonghuan, and they were also reminding Zhou Zheng that Huang Weihuai had no right to arrest him!

Huang Weihuai's face was ugly, his eyes were spewing fire, and he was speechless for a while.

What Zhou Zheng said is naturally right, if Zhou Zheng does not resist, it will be tantamount to admitting guilt, and Huang Weihuai will have no problem arresting him. But if Zhou Zheng resists, it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong.

If Huang Weihuai forcibly arrested Zhou Zheng and did not wait to enter Beijing, Zhou Zheng would write a strong argument, and the officials would also add fuel and vinegar, and it was not certain who was unlucky! The key is that once Zhou Zheng is in the book, Huang Weihuai may not be able to go to Shenyang!

Without Yuan Chonghuan's support, Huang Weihuai actually couldn't do it, so seeing Zhou Zheng's tough attitude, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes looked at Man Gui, with a faint indifference.

The main and deputy envoys all represent the emperor, and they naturally can't be arrested without special reasons, just as he can't catch Mangui.

Man Gui suddenly jumped out, which was equivalent to giving Zhou Zheng a platform, if he forcibly caught Zhou Zheng, Man Gui would definitely come out of the moth.

Man Gui ate and drank heavily, not caring at all.

How could Man Gui be indifferent to Li Hengbing's framing of him and Zhou Zheng in the court, although he did not find out that Li Hengbing had a correspondence with Yuan Chonghuan, but among the people he offended, only Yuan Chonghuan could use such a means!

Yuan Chonghuan glanced at the other people with different expressions in the hall again, a wave of anger rose in his chest, he pressed it, stood up with a slightly cold face, and said lightly: "Disperse." ”

With that, he went straight to leave.

Before Yuan Chonghuan left, Man Gui suddenly put down the wine jug in his hand, stood up and said loudly: "Okay, take a break, and go together tomorrow morning." ”

Walking together, it is naturally with Zhou Zheng and Huang Weihuai.

Yuan Chonghuan's figure paused, and he was even more angry in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had just forced away the king's ministers and ordered the court to dismiss the scriptures, he would have to write again and drive away this Mangui!

Huang Weihuai saw that Yuan Chonghuan was leaving, his expression became more and more pale, and when Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui were gone, he said to Zhou Zheng in a cold voice: "Even if I don't arrest you, do you dare to go?" If you dare to go, Jianyu will definitely eat you alive! ”

Zhou Zheng was also surprised by today's play, but it was Zhou Zheng's only purpose to go to Shenyang to see the real national strength of Jianyu, and everything else was incidental.

Zhou Zheng quickly calculated the danger of going this time, and said lightly: "The trip to the Great Road, why not be afraid of life and death." ”

For such generous words that were obviously sarcastic about him, Huang Weihuai sneered, shook his hand, and strode towards the side door where Yuan Chonghuan had disappeared.

The chief officials all left, and the others also left in twos and threes, looking at Zhou Zheng's gaze, many people were very strange.

Zhou Zheng exhaled lightly, feeling the pressure.

The adults of the imperial court are all unpredictable, busy fighting for power and profit, and these generals on the frontier are no better, and even the bottom line is already vague.

Perhaps, there is only another way.

Zhou Zheng pondered silently, turned around and walked out of the hall.

He returned to his makeshift room, still thinking to himself.

He didn't expect to meet Jianyu here, and as soon as he came out like this, it would be even more dangerous to go to Shenyang, he had to make some arrangements, but he couldn't really send him to death.

In the backyard of the governor's yamen, Huang Weihuai gritted his teeth and said: "I should have left Zhou Zhengyun in Shanhaiguan, it's good now, with Mangui intervening, I can't stay if I want to!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan was more worried about the affairs of Liaodong, and said lightly: "I need time to clean up Liaodong and stabilize Ningjin, this time, you must get Huang Taiji's permission!" ”

Huang Weihuai and Yuan Chonghuan have the same idea, that is, Liaodong as a whole is very dilapidated, and if you want to block the construction of the captives, you must build the Ningjin line, and this will take time.

Huang Weihuai was angry in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Zhengyun is okay if he wants to go, when he arrives in Shenyang, I will find a reason to lock him in the room, and he is not allowed to see Huang Taiji and anyone from Jianyu!" ”

"It's fine." Yuan Chonghuan said unhurriedly.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan didn't care about Zhou Zheng, and he didn't think that a small supervision of the imperial history could ruin his plan, in Yuan Chonghuan's view, Huang Taiji had just succeeded to the throne, and he still needed time to stabilize his position and settle various internal problems, especially to master the army.

It can be said that the 'truce and boycott of war' is an inevitable choice that they unanimously agree on, and it is a tacit understanding.

From beginning to end, Dongjiang Town was not within Yuan Chonghuan's consideration, he just wanted to consolidate the front line of Ningjin, ensure that Ningjin was not lost, and not let Jianyu hit the doorstep.

This is exactly what Zhou Zheng is worried about, this kind of strategic gap will lead to the defeat of the Ming Dynasty again and again, and there will be no chance to return to Shenyang!

……

Early the next morning, Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng and other envoys set off normally, but the difference was that Man Gui walked in front of them with more than 1,000 people, not far away.

Man Gui didn't say a word to Zhou Zheng, maybe he didn't take the little seven-rank superintendent imperial history in his heart, and went directly to Songshan City.

Huang Weihuai and Zhou Zheng's convoy continued northward, crossed the Xiaoling River, entered Jianyu's sphere of influence, rested for a while, and on the 24th of the first month, a group of people arrived in Shenyang on time.
