Xu is because of the rare sunny day in winter, in the afternoon, looking at the sun hanging in the sky, a delicate figure walked on the corridor in the Yanping Palace, and Zheng Ling, who walked lightly in the corridor, fully revealed her good mood.

The warm winter sun reflected on her body, making her long black waterfall hair shine with a beautiful sheen, and also made her delicate skin look even more explosive.

At this moment, a flock of birds flew by, and the gentle and melodious cry made Zheng Ling couldn't help but stop, raising his face to look at the flock of birds.

Looking at the birds passing in the air, her red lips bent, hooking a sweet smile, and on that beautiful egg-shaped face, the eyes that should have been smiling, but there was a trace of yearning, as if yearning for the freedom of birds.

For seventeen-year-old Zheng Ling, she has always longed to be as free as those birds. Of course, the reason why she longs for freedom is because she longs to be able to join the battlefield like a man.

Outsiders see her as having a beautiful appearance and a slender and petite body, and often think that she is a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, in fact, it is the opposite, in fact, she has vowed to avenge her mother since she was a child, she has been practicing martial arts with others, and she has practiced good swordsmanship, and she is not her opponent at all, so she is definitely not a delicate and helpless weak woman.

After watching the flock of birds fly away, after a while, Zheng Ling sighed, retracted his gaze, and continued to walk towards the other end of the corridor. When she arrived at her sister-in-law's residence, she learned that her sister-in-law had gone to her eldest brother's study.

"Sister-in-law went to the eldest brother's study? Is there something going on? ”

The ladies in the eldest brother's study are not allowed to enter at will, so what is going on today?

"Aunt You, Cangshui said something to her husband today!"

Looking at his wife, Zheng Chenggong's expression looked a little strange, Zhang Huang said that he wanted to be a matchmaker for the ninth sister, which opened up a wave in his heart that had never been before, so that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

From the time she was invited into this study by the prince, Dong Yougu knew that the prince must have encountered something difficult, could it be related to the Houfu, could it be with his own relatives? Thinking that there were indeed relatives of the Dong family who came to join her recently, she immediately said.

"Isn't it related to the concubine's family? Please rest assured, if the concubine's family does something illegal, the concubine not only pleads for it, but only asks the prince to deal with it severely, the prince often says that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if the family violates the law, it cannot be severe, and the world will be chaotic! ”

Dong Yougu's deep understanding of righteousness made Zheng Chenggong nod and say with deep understanding.

"My aunt's words are really embarrassing for my husband! Yougu is really a virtuous pillar for her husband! ”

Sighing, Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said.

"But please come over, it's not because of this, but because Cangshui wants to be a matchmaker for the ninth sister!"

"Ahh

Thinking that the ninth sister had already belonged, Dong Yougu looked at Zheng Chenggong in surprise and asked urgently.

"Lord Wang, have you ever promised to come down?"

Then Shuang hurriedly changed his words.

"Who does he mean to be a matchmaker?"

Zheng Chenggong, who was thoughtful, did not notice Dong Yougu's gaffe, but said directly.

"Zhu Mingzhong!"

The moment she heard these three words, Dong Yougu was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said quietly.

"But Zhu Mingzhong, the Jianghuai Scripture Envoy? Well, this person is also a talented person today, but he can also be worthy of the ninth sister. Did the prince agree? ”

Madame's inquiry made Zheng Chenggong silent for a moment before nodding and saying.

"Madam, the ninth sister has a strong personality, the reason why she has not married others all these years is because the ninth sister doesn't like it, my sister is ......"

Although it seemed to sigh, Zheng Chenggong had a smile on his face. is also a brother and a father, and he brought up the ninth sister, so he naturally understands this younger sister.

"I'm worried that she won't marry him, and ...... then."

"The prince is too worried!"

The corners of Dong Yougu's lips lifted slightly, and she looked at the prince and said.

"If it were someone else, the ninth sister might not want to, but if it was replaced by Zhu Mingzhong, the ninth sister would definitely not object!"

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Zheng Chenggong looked at his wife puzzled, he naturally didn't know the girl's thoughts, and immediately smiled.

"The husband understands, a loyal and brave man like him is naturally liked by the ninth sister, well, aunt you, you go and see what the ninth sister means, if the ninth sister is interested, this matter will be settled!"

It was only the ninth sister who worshiped Zhu Mingzhong, who was famous for his bloody battles such as Tongjimen, and naturally did not know the thoughts of the girl's family, and when she heard that her wife said that she would not object, she was finally relieved in her heart, this matter was beneficial to him and harmless, as for the ninth sister...... As long as she does not object, who knows what will happen in the future.

After deciding on this matter, Zheng Chenggong thought to himself again.

This Zhang Huangyan came forward to act as a matchmaker for Zhu Mingzhong, I'm afraid it's not that simple...... He must have the intention of befriending Zhu Mingzhong as a matchmaker, but on the other hand, doesn't he know that this layer of in-laws may bring the relationship between the two families closer.

Thinking of his in-laws, Zheng Chenggong naturally thought of Zhu Mingzhong's deliberate scheming, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was always some displeasure on his face.

And why did Zhang Huangyan take the initiative to rub this family affair?

Zheng Chenggong half-closed his eyes, constantly thinking about various possibilities in his heart, and when Zheng Chenggong was thinking like this, he didn't know that in Zhang Huangyan's mansion, this would also set off an uproar.

"Young Sima, I'm afraid this matter is a big mistake!"

Facing the news he had just gotten, Lu Liuliang sighed.

"Originally, Zhu Chengren wandered outside the core of Zheng Jun and was never trusted by Zheng Yanping, but now, Shao Sima is the matchmaker, which will undoubtedly only bring Jiangbei and Jiangnan closer, so that Zhu Chengren is driven by Yanping, so is it a blessing for the country?"

For Lu Liuliang, who is Zhang Huangyan's staff, he knows very well that the current situation can be maintained as it is now, all because of the mutual restraint of the three parties, and in the final analysis, if there is no Zhu Mingzhong in Jiangbei and the Zheng family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support Shao Sima alone.

And now Shao Sima took the initiative to pull up the in-laws for the two, this pull is good, but it is the relationship between the two families that is closer, so that the current good situation will naturally change.

"Hey, Shao Sima, when you talk to Yanping about this matter, you should really discuss it with us!"

Facing the opposition of his staff, Zhang Huangyan stroked his beard and smiled.

"It is precisely because I know that everyone will definitely oppose it, so Zhang has not discussed it with everyone, this matter seems to be unfavorable to me, but for the country, it is very helpful!"

Looking at everyone, Zhang Huangyan explained.

"Wouldn't it be a great thing if this in-law could bring the two of them closer, and if Yanping could send troops north for reinforcements when he needed them?"

As the squire of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Huangyan has his persistence, and his persistence is very simple - everything for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!

In his heart, nothing can compare to the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that he chose to be a matchmaker for Zhu Mingzhong, in order to get closer to him and Zheng Chenggong, so that Zheng Chenggong would fully support him to fight the enemy in Jiangbei.

"Right now, the biggest threat to Jiangnan is the hundreds of thousands of troops led by the Qing chieftains, although Cheng Ren has 100,000 elite soldiers, can he resist the 300,000 Qing army?"

The reason why he put everything aside to promote this family affair, Zhang Huangyan naturally had his considerations, and what he considered was very simple, that is, he wanted to promote his support for Jiangbei in the future. So as to ensure that Jiangbei will not fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Shao Sima relied on this to let Yanping send reinforcements north when the Qing captured the south?"

Wei Geng looked at Shao Sima and asked.

"If the Qingyu chieftain goes south, Chengren will inevitably need reinforcements from Yanping!"

Nodding, Zhang Huangyan continued.

"Only in this way can we protect Jiangbei, make Jiangbei the gateway to Jiangnan, and guard Jiangnan, and only in this way can we calmly discuss with Jiangnan!"

Ask for the West!

This was Zhang Huangyan's goal, he needed to march to the southwest in order to gain contact with the imperial court, and of course, by putting pressure on the southwest, forcing the Qing to shift his attention from the imperial court, and at this time, he needed the stability of the situation in Jiangbei.

"As far as the Qing Lu is concerned, its biggest obstacle is Jiangbei, and if Chengren can marry the Zheng family, no matter whether Yanping will send reinforcements or not, it will inevitably make the Qing Lu think that when he attacks, Yanping will naturally not sit idly by, so that in the name of Chengren's good fighting and the courage of the loyal army, coupled with the reinforcements from Jiangnan, the Qing Lu will not dare to go south easily, after all, the Qing Lu will never dare to let its chieftain easily get into danger!"

Although Zhang Huangyan's analysis made Wei Geng, Lu Liuliang and others all nod in agreement, it does not mean that they do not have their own ideas.

"Although this can make Qingyu know the pressure to go south, but it is inevitable for Qingyu to go south, Shao Sima rubbed this family matter from it, although it seems to be beneficial to Jiangbei, but if it is because of this, Chengren Cheng Yanping will level his arms, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I will only ......."

Wei Geng looked at Zhang Huangyan and said directly.

"I'm afraid it's not a blessing for the country!"

Although Wei Geng did not directly express his worries, but this sentence "not the luck of the country" still made people hear the meaning of his words, when Zheng Chenggong's family is dominant, it is definitely not a "national blessing", after all, for the imperial court, the current situation is the best - there are several marshals to command the army, although there are occasional differences, but in the end it is still better than a marshal and a dominance, after all, what a dominance will lead to, there are too many examples in the history books.

When the time comes, the seizure of power and usurpation of the throne is also a very likely thing.

"Yanping would never do that!"

Zhang Huangyan replied in a very affirmative tone, he can be said to know Zheng Chenggong very well, maybe he has some selfishness, but he is still a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt about that.

"Besides, Chengren will never give Jiangbei to others!"
