Liu Nian and Gu Chun hurried into the palace. The first time I saw the driver, I was a little nervous, but both of them were noble children, although they had never faced the saint, but the ancestors had heard a lot of stories about Cheng Zujing's difficulty, and they had seen the world, and there was no shortage of etiquette.

After the two of them finished meeting, Zhu Qizhen said: "How many people are there in the Sharpshooter Battalion, and have they been trained?" ”

The training was mainly based on Liu Nian, and Gu Chun was the deputy, so Liu Nian replied: "There are 1,130 people. For more than a month, the sergeants have been practicing every day, and the sergeants have been able to skillfully change formations. ”

Just walk and refill bullets, practice for more than a month and still not familiar, can you be a normal person? Zhang Ning was slandered beside him.

Gu Xingzu adopted Zhang Ning's suggestion, reported to Zhu Qizhen, streamlined the sergeants of the sharpshooter battalion, and compensated the people who were cleared out with the first amount of tax and silver, leaving behind the sergeants with great strength and marksmanship.

Zhu Qizhen was very happy, and said warmly: "In the future, when you go to the battlefield, you have made meritorious contributions, and I have my own reward." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Nian and Gu Chun said in unison. The two knew that they couldn't compare with Zhang Ning, the emperor said so, this time the meeting was over, so they saluted together and retired.

When the two of them left the Zhaoren Palace, and there was only Zhang Ning in the hall, Zhu Qizhen said: "I want to drive the royal expedition in person." ”

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of driving in person, but Zhu Qizhen was more unlucky, and he encountered the change of Tumubao on his first expedition and became a prisoner. The emperor can't make mistakes, so this pot was carried by Wang Zhen.

Now that Wang Zhen is dead, who is behind the pot of Zhu Qizhen's royal expedition? Zhang Ning felt that his back was cold and swishing.

Of course, if you win the battle, you don't have to take the blame, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, who can guarantee that you will win the battle? The gods don't dare to guarantee it, okay?

Zhang Ning persuaded: "Your Majesty, the matter of the imperial conquest must be considered in the long run. When Chengzu set out to fight, he would prepare for a year for a long time, and half a year for a short time, and if he started to prepare now, it would be a year later. ”

There is no need to take this opportunity to go on the expedition, you can fight whoever you want, do you need to make excuses?

Zhu Qizhen said: "I am the generalissimo, Qing is the vanguard, our monarchs and ministers swept Mobei, isn't it majestic?" ”

Do you think I'm a pioneer talent? I'm just a student in modern times, how can I command an army to fight? Zhang Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, when it comes to handsome talents, the British Duke is the first to be recommended." ”

It can't be wrong to hand over the command of the army to Zhang Fu, you can't do it, I can't do it, this self-knowledge must be there.

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "Qing has never been on the battlefield, so it is inevitable to be nervous. ”

"There are many good generals in the DPRK, and once the troops are dispatched, the minister recommends the British public as the commander. As long as the British public is in charge, His Majesty has nothing to do with the royal expedition. The minister can first send spies to Warat to spy on the military. Zhang Ning said sincerely.

I'd better be the head of the secret service, and the vanguard's mission will leave you to someone else. Zhang Ning is very clear about his positioning, and he will never take human life as a child's play, nor will he take the blame.

The monarch and the minister were talking, Yang Shiqi came, and saw Bi Xian's plea: "The minister taught no way to ......" and then committed murder on the street of the Wara messenger, was met by Yang Rong'er, and ordered the coachman to injure people, and now he brought hundreds of people to block the gate of the Yuhong Temple to say the law.

As soon as Xie Fan saw him, he fell to the ground and cried, crying and telling about this matter, it seemed that it was all Yang Rong'er's fault, if Yang Rong'er wasn't nosy, a young child would have died if he died, what does it have to do with the young woman being molested and played?

Yang Shiqi was very annoyed by the meaning of Xie Fan's words, but it was about his granddaughter, so he had to make a gesture of pleading. If it was the children of other eunuchs who were brave enough to do it, he would naturally stand up and protect this person. His granddaughter can only ask for sin first and then rescue.

What he didn't know was that Zhu Qizhen not only knew the ins and outs of the matter, but also had discussed with Zhang Ning about the expedition against Warat, and they all talked about the royal driver's personal expedition.

"Let my granddaughter deserve to be a hero of the country, and I will be rewarded. Come on, enjoy the ten horses of Yang's silk. ”

Jia Xiaosi went out of the palace to present the award.

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the behavior of the minister's granddaughter is very likely to cause a dispute between our dynasty and Warat. ”

After all, the coachman of the Yang Mansion beat the messenger of Wara, and the five people present were first beaten to blood, and then they were tied up like zongzi and thrown at the gate of the Yuhong Temple.

In this matter, Master Warat will definitely refuse to give up on this.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Qing immediately drafted a letter of state and asked the Taishi Wara why he sent an envoy to commit murder in the capital. It is natural to kill people to pay for their lives, and if a young child is dead, he should be a messenger of war. ”

Even though Yang Shiqi was accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, he was still stunned for a moment when he heard the emperor say this, and said, "Your Majesty? ”

Are you sure you're right? Shouldn't we send an envoy to Warat tomorrow morning after discussing this matter?

"It was decided. More than 2,000 people came from the messengers of Warat, right? No outings are allowed. The sergeants of the Divine Gun Battalion surrounded the Yuhong Temple, and as long as the Wara envoy took a step out of the Yuhong Temple, he would be killed. ”

The messenger of Warat he refers to is not only the envoy Batu, but all the Warat people who came to Beijing with Batu.

Zhang Ning said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”

In order to prevent the Warat people from rioting, they should indeed be put under house arrest, it is not appropriate to go to prison, it is not appropriate to go to prison, and house arrest in Yuhong Temple is no better.

Yang Shiqi took a deep breath and saluted: "The minister understands." The minister went to draw up the edict. ”

He didn't know why the emperor was so tough, but the emperor not only did not blame Yang Rong'er, but rewarded him, which still surprised him. As long as you keep your granddaughter, what if you declare war on Warat? Could it be that the imperial court will be afraid that the Tartars will not succeed?

Yang Shiqi came out of the hall and glanced at Zhang Ning deeply, he didn't think that Zhang Ning knew anything about this matter. Most of the time, it was the commander of the Jinyi Guard who received the news and entered the palace to intercede for Yang Rong'er. I don't know how he said that the emperor would be so tough?

Yang Shiqi secretly guessed and at the same time was glad that he had the foresight to agree to marry in advance, otherwise how could Zhang Ning speak for Yang Rong'er so wholeheartedly?

Zhang Ning smiled back at him.

Seeing Zhang Ning's calm smile, Yang Shiqi's worried and anxious heart suddenly calmed down, and at this time Zhang Ning was still in the mood to smile at him, which showed that things were not so bad.

Seeing Yang Shiqi hurriedly leave the hall, Zhang Ning said: "The minister will go to Yuhong Temple and bring Yang Rong'er back to Yang's mansion." ”

Zhu Qizhen teased: "Don't you like her to show up?" ”

"That's not it, but the sergeants of the sharpshooter battalion are about to surround the Yuhong Temple, and the people must be driven out so as not to be injured by mistake. As long as Yang Rong'er returned home, the people would naturally disperse. ”

The people were dissatisfied with what Batu and the others had done, but they did not dare to stand up for the sufferer, the young woman who had been molested and played, and her son had been thrown to death.

Thinking of Yang Rong'er and a woman's uneven road, it is very difficult. Zhu Qizhen said: "Go ahead." ”

Zhang Ning came out of the Zhaoren Hall and took off a simple jade pendant from his waist.
