After the thousand households brought paper, ink, pen and inkstone, I followed him to the tent, where two lanterns were lit, Zhao Quan was still locked in the prisoner car, and there was a big black bowl next to it, and the soldiers guarding it had already fed Zhao Quan.

Arrange for the soldiers to untie Zhao Quan's shackles, and help him to sit down on the chair that Qianhu had prepared a long time ago. ”

"Zhao Quan, I came to ask you a few questions on the order of Lord Zhang, and after answering it, Lord Zhang may be able to intercede with you in front of the emperor."

After the soldiers left, I saw that there was no one left, so I said: "Zhao Quan, I have already sent someone to bring your family to the capital, they are very dangerous on the 'Mongolian' side, and Altan Khan will not give up." In addition, I want to see you tonight, mainly because I have contacted your people in Xuanfu, if you have any instructions, write them down to me, and I will 'hand' them over." ”

"You got in touch with the old grandson, how could it be, the old grandson is buried very deeply, how did you find them." Zhao Quan looked at me in disbelief.

"It's true, as for how to get in touch, I can't tell you in detail now, if you have anything to say, write it down, I can pass it on to them through that little three, this is the last chance, if you go to the capital in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet, if you have any last words, write it early."

"Thank you, Lord Lan, I'll write it."

Zhao Quan is no longer verbose, he knows the preciousness of time, he is such a repeat offender, I can't come to see him often, he can write whatever he wants tonight, it can be regarded as giving him a chance to 'hand' over the future, as for how to develop next, it depends on his own creation.

Because Zhao Quan's hands were not light, so the writing was not very fast, it took half an hour for Zhao Quan to finish what he was going to say, I took the three pieces of paper that were full of writing, folded it and kicked it in my arms, and said to Zhao Quan: "Zhao Quan, you can do it yourself." Along the way, I will 'hand' them over to you to suffer less, and when I get to the capital, I can't do anything. As for your family, don't worry, I am a trustworthy person, I will never break my word, I will definitely raise your children to become 'becoming' people, and I will make them useful people. ”

Zhao Quan stood up and said: "Lord Lan, please, I have made it very clear in the letter, one is for you, one is for my wife and children, and the last one is for my subordinates, Lord Lan, I am a sinner, I can't repay you for my great favor in this life, wait for the next life." ”

I got out of Zhao Quan's tent and returned to my tent, Liu Lianjiang lit the lantern, and I took out the three letters written by Zhao Quan and read them.

The first letter, it was really written to me, and it was also written with polite words, but there are a few sentences that are critical, what is said is that the nine of them are the core leaders of the White Lotus Sect in Yanbei, and now that they have been arrested, those subordinates will definitely be leaderless, and they have made a lot of effort in Bansheng, and they do not hesitate to carry the charge of betraying the country and seeking glory, and develop Bansheng, just to build Bansheng into a city with no government and no oppression, but unfortunately their ambitions have not been rewarded, and they were betrayed by the 'Meng' ancients. At the end of the letter, he said, "Seeing that I am a good official, I hope I can help him accept the leadership of Bansheng, so that those gangs can live a happy and contented life."

The second is a letter to his wife and children, the meaning of the letter is also to say, the reason why his ambition is not rewarded, regret that he should not have betrayed the country to seek glory and became a traitor, today my death is a crime that deserves death, I hope the children will not be sad, and now follow Lord Lan to return to the Southern Dynasty, it can be regarded as a return to the roots. I was punished by the imperial court today, you don't want to avenge me, remember the kindness of Lord Lan, don't follow your own reason, you can take the path of the imperial examination, it is also a good choice to be an official and make decisions for the people, and 'handover' his wife, you are young, I went like this, I don't mean anything to be widowed, find a good family to marry, some things, listen to the arrangement of Lord Lan, don't make your own decisions.

The third letter is written to Lao Sun Tou, this letter involves a lot of secrets, Zhao Quan wrote it when he knew that I would read the letter, which also shows that he trusts me now. In the letter, he told Lao Sun Tou that he might not be able to go back, and in the future, the affairs of the White Lotus Sect in Yanbei and the base in Bansheng asked Lao Sun Tou to gather the main contacts again. Fight against the 'Mongolian' ancients, don't do treason and harm the Han people in the future, and the next step is to obey the command of the Lan people. All my rights are 'handed' over to Lord Lan, and if anyone dares not to listen, there will be no mercy.

Zhao Quan's last three letters, written are all sincere, but also made a deep repentance for himself, the crime of treason a few years ago, and especially after the generation of their White Lotus Sect to listen to my command, this is not a loss for him, but also let me feel 'excited' about him, I can treat his family well in the future, this Zhao Quan's scheming is not shallow, no wonder he can be the person in charge of the Yanbei region, and he has been circling in 'Mongolia' for so many years. It's just that he didn't dream that the 'Meng' ancients would betray him, Zhao Quan still made a lot of contributions to the development of the 'Meng' Gu, and I am now praying that the old grandson can quickly pick up Zhao Quan's child, and it is best to meet Zhao Quan before he is beheaded.

Five days later, in the afternoon, we arrived outside the capital, and because it was already evening, we set up camp outside the city. I didn't understand, so I asked Zhang Juzheng: "Teacher, this is all outside the city, why don't you go into the city, and live outside the city." ”

"Yun Jie, you don't know yet, the teacher will tell you today, when you do the Qin mission in the future, you must remember that when you can't see the emperor in the evening, you have to stay outside the city. There is a rule, that is, when the Qin mission comes back, you must see the emperor first, why can't you go into the city now, because it is too late, the emperor can't see us, and we can't go home, so we just stay here and wait for tomorrow morning to go in, and we have to remember it later. Just now, the teacher has sent someone to go in to talk to the emperor, and said that we are outside the city, and there will definitely be a holy decree coming early tomorrow morning, so we will have a good rest tonight and wait for the golden palace to face the king. ”

"Thank you for the teacher's teaching, the students really don't know this rule, if they really go home to live, then they won't be sprayed to death by those imperial historians."

"In the future, I will teach you some officialdom rules and teachers slowly, or it is easy to be caught by others, and the tree is a big move, this is the eternal truth, you and I master and apprentice have won this negotiation, and it will definitely cause many people to be jealous, even if there is no fault, they will find some mistakes for you, if they find 'fault' in the future, you don't come forward, there is an old man to deal with it, you are young and vigorous, I am afraid that you will offend people, after all, I am a cabinet minister, and they dare not make a mistake." Zhang Juzheng's words are indeed for my good, but who can predict the future development.

We stayed outside the city for one night, and Zhang Juzheng and I didn't go to the post station, since the accident at the post station a few days ago, we didn't stay in the post station again, and camped in tents all night. Today is no exception, but in the middle of the night, someone sneak attacked, and it didn't cause much damage, and when we heard the shouting, the sneak attack has been annihilated by the Beijing army on duty, as for who came to sneak attack, you don't have to think about it to know, it's Zhao Quan's old department, but it's definitely not the old grandson them, they know that I am here to save Zhao Quan, and they won't shoot again, but these people's sneak attack also gave me a reason why I can't save Zhao Quan, which is also for the future to be able to smoothly take over Zhao Quan's old department, The conditions were created.

Early the next morning, as soon as the city 'gate' opened, when we got up to wash, a few fast horses came to our military camp, led by Su Si, the chief eunuch, who came down and read out the holy decree, which meant that Zhang Juzheng and I would go to participate in the early dynasty. As for Zhao Quan and a few of them, they were then escorted to Dali Temple, and in the future, Zhao Quan's case will be interrogated by Dali Temple, and our task has been completed.

Following Su Si and them, Zhang Juzheng and I came to the noon 'gate', if it was a normal time, this time would have started early in the morning, because waiting for us to come, so the early dynasty has not started, waiting for the officials of the early dynasty are 'handing over' their ears, asking why it is so late today and not early in the morning, is it that the emperor is in good health, until they saw the two of us appear, they understood that it was to wait for us, the emperor postponed the time of the early dynasty.

As soon as we arrived here, we began to organize the affairs of the court, and after a while, the shift was over, and everyone entered the main hall in order, because Zhang Ju and I were the Qin Cha, and we did not enter the main hall together, but just waited outside, preparing for the emperor's decree to meet us.

After a while, there were several shouts from inside: "Pass, Zhang Juzheng, Lan Yunjie entered the hall to see the driver." ”

Zhang Juzheng was in front, I was behind, followed him to the Golden Palace, we knelt down and saluted first: "Minister Zhang Juzheng, Lan Yunjie, see Long live Long live." ”

"Two Aiqing, let's get even, Father-in-law Su will give Master Zhang a seat." Su Si moved an embroidered squat and put it behind Zhang Juzheng, I didn't have this treatment, so I had to stand beside Zhang Juzheng.

After Zhang Juzheng sat down, the emperor continued: "Zhong Aiqing, today Lord Zhang and Lord Lan went to negotiate with the 'Mongolian' ancients as a messenger, and they were assassinated along the way, and Lord Liu also sacrificed his life for the country on the road. Fortunately, this negotiation won a complete victory, avoided the disaster of fire, and laid the foundation for the stability of the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, the most important point is that Altan Khan Nagong was a minister, and also defected to the "Mongolian" ancient Han "traitor" Zhao Quan and other nine people to come back, I have arranged for Dali Temple to interrogate Zhao Quan and others, and now it is also a great success, the next thing is to send officials to the nine sides to prepare for the mutual market, these things have the household department to do it, the officials who need it, you can go to the ministry to contact. Zhong Aiqing, Lord Zhang, and Lord Lan have such great merits, how do you say they should be rewarded. ”
