"Yang Congyi, did you see the King of Pu'an before you left Lin'an?"

Zhang Fu is most concerned about this issue.

"No, Xia Guan has never met the King of Pu'an County, but he heard Lord Yang say it once last year." Yang Congyi shook his head.

"Then the official asked you again, since you left Lin'an in July last year, how many letters have you received from Lin'an?"

"Three letters. Two letters came from Lord Yang, the commander of the capital, asking about the situation of the selection of the general's camp, and one from the case of the former division of the palace, urging the lower officials to complete the teaching and reading transfer before the end of the year. Other than that, I didn't hear from Lin'an. ”

"Are these three letters still there?" Zhang Fu asked.

"The letter from the front of the palace is naturally preserved. If you want to see it, the lower officials will let people take it. Yang Congyi was still respectful, and there was really nothing in the letter that could not be seen.

"Then take it and let the official see it."

Yang Congyi answered, turned around and went out and ordered the guards on duty to go to Captain Gu to get the letter.

In a short time, the guard brought three letters, and also brought dust.

Yang Congyi didn't look at it, and directly handed over the three letters to Zhang Fu for a look.

Zhang Fu read them one by one, and judging from the envelopes, two of them were indeed from the front of the palace and one from the front of the palace and one from the front of the palace.

He started with the letter from the commander, and after reading one letter, he handed it to Lord Huang next to him, and continued to read the next one.

Three short letters, the three of them quickly circulated.

After reading the letter, the three of them had different expressions, some disappointed, some relaxed, and some calm.

"Okay, we came from Lin'an this time to see how the election camp spent so much money on the imperial court. To tell the truth, in the past few days in the election camp, you are still good, and the money spent by the imperial court is worth it. Yang Congyi, it's not easy for you to come back from the mountains, go back and rest and rest. Remember, don't be anticlimactic when it comes to choosing generals, if the official finds out that you have misbehaved, he will definitely not spare you! ”

Zhang Fu put away the three letters and did not mean to return them to Yang Congyi.

"The three adults came from afar to visit the soldiers in this poor and remote camp of the generals, we have nothing to repay, we can only work harder in the future training, in order to be worthy of the imperial court! Thank you, three adults! ”

Yang Congyi thanked him, but when he saw the three letters that were still in Zhang Fu's hands, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. His letter is now fine, and if they take it back and deal with it, they can't be sure.

"You go back first, you don't have to be here with you, and don't let anyone else disturb you." Zhang Fu asked Yang Congyi to retreat.

"My lord, the letter from Lord Yang to the subordinate is the guarantee for the selection of the general camp to settle down in Wuzhou, others do not give the lower official face, more or less will give the front of the palace to command some face, so as not to stumble on the election of the general camp, now the court does not send people, and there are no more letters, and the election of the general camp in Wuzhou is afraid that it will not even be able to stay today. Please also return the letter from the commander to the lower officials, and the more than 20,000 people in the general camp will point to it to eat! ”

These letters can't be taken away by the other party, they haven't been at ease since they came from Lin'an, if they take it back and change it randomly, it will be a big trouble, and they all command Lord Yang to finish, and the king of Pu'an County will definitely be farther and farther away from the position of the heir to the throne, and by the way, he, a seven-rank petty official, will inevitably be drowned in the wind and waves.

"Master Zhang, Yang Congyi's words have some truth, he is a small secretary of the front of the palace, in terms of status, even a county is not as good, this place is far away from Lin'an, the head of the palace whip is beyond reach, without these letters as evidence, even if they have the household grain and grass allocation certificate, it is difficult to raise grain and grass. Now that the king of Pu'an County is not out of Lin'an, and the imperial court has not sent a special person to raise grain and grass, more than 20,000 soldiers of the forbidden army have no grain and grass, but if something big happens, who can afford to take this responsibility when the time comes? Is the king of Pu'an County responsible, Yang Guogong responsible, or is he responsible for the case of the small palace commander? Or is it the three of us who are responsible? ”

Seeing that Zhang Fu didn't seem to have the intention of returning the letter, Master Li immediately opened his mouth to explain the risk of taking the letter from the front of the palace.

The people present are all smart people, each of them is a person who has been in the officialdom for decades, and they naturally understand the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and until the last moment, they can never walk to death, otherwise they will not be able to reach the high position they are today. Besides, the most important thing to be a man and an official is to protect your own interests, and then you can seek greater benefits.

As soon as he was reminded, Zhang Fu immediately understood that they had not found any evidence unfavorable to the general camp in Wuzhou so far, and the training of the general camp was orderly, if he took away a few letters from the commander at this time, no matter what happened to the general camp after that, he would not be able to get out of the relationship.

"Oh, I almost forgot, these letters are very important to you, you have to keep them, don't lose them."

Zhang Fu seemed to be a beat slower, so he put the letter in his hand on the table, pushed it forward, and returned it to Yang Congyi.

"Thank you, sir!"

Yang Congyi hurriedly took a few steps forward and held the three letters in his hand.

The questioning of Yang Congyi was over, and he quickly left and returned to his barracks, while the three adults who came to Lin'an seemed to be unwilling, vowing to find out the problem of selecting the general's camp before they gave up.

"Their accounts are fine, it doesn't mean that the Forty-One Forbidden Army is no problem. This time, the election of generals organized by the imperial court is very strong, and it is very likely that the selected people will be promoted and used, and there has always been corruption in the army, and there are certainly not a few people who give money and bribes. Lord Huang and Lord Li, let's go to the various armies to take a look, and by the way, check whether some situations are really as Yang Congyi said. ”

Zhang Fu is the envoy of the inspection, Lord Huang and Master Li are the deputy envoys of the inspection, if he can't find the problem, he will be too faceless in the imperial history.

"Lord Zhang, the corrupt officials in the army do not deny it, but who are the real corrupt people, presumably the two adults also know that there are a lot of people in the 41st forbidden army in the election camp, and there is no one who is rich. Instead of going to the barracks, it is better to follow Yang Congyi into the mountains to see how they choose generals. ”

Master Li immediately objected, who are the local forbidden troops, he knows very well that he has a lot of attention to the affairs of the military department, and naturally understands more information than Zhang Fu, who only wanders around Lin'an City.

"Master Li, it's not appropriate for you to say that, Master Zhang is old, how can he drill into the mountains like those rough people. In my opinion, we should go to Wuzhou and Quzhou as soon as possible to verify the situation mentioned by Yang Congyi and return to Lin'an as soon as possible. ”

Lord Huang refuted Lord Li, but did not agree with Zhang Fu, but instead put forward his own opinion.

But after all, according to the inspector, according to the envoy, the imperial history is not done in vain, the officialdom is not in vain, and Zhang Fu has its own majesty.

In the end, the three of them spent two more days asking many questions about the commanders of the 41st Forbidden Army, including their origins, and of course, the most important thing was to find out whether they had bribed Yang Congyi or the palace commander.

The result is obvious, as Master Li said, the commanders of the forbidden army from all walks of life who came to the general selection camp are all poor, not to mention hundreds of thousands of dollars, even ten yuan they can't come up with, and the subsidies for their families are not enough, let alone the money for bribes.

So where did all the money for corruption in the army go? In fact, they all know that if they work hard to earn money in the army, how can they have money without power! Naturally, the money is in the hands of the commanders and rulers.

As for whether they would return to Lin'an or go to Wuzhou and Quzhou, Yang Congyi didn't care too much, there was no problem in the camp for the selection of generals, and there would naturally be no problems in Wuzhou and Quzhou.

The senior officials sent by the imperial court left, and the daily training of the various armies in the camp immediately returned to normal, and the challenge of selecting generals, which had been interrupted for several days, continued on a sunny morning.

This is one of the last four forbidden armies that have not yet been challenged, and when they enter the mountain to challenge, there are only three left.

Yang Congyi followed the challenge troops into the mountains this time, after all, his main job was to watch the battle, and once he began to challenge, he basically did not personally participate in the actual combat of the two armies.

In the past few months, he has done everything that should be done, and the existence of the election camp has been delayed again and again, as long as the election of generals is not over, the election camp will not be revoked, even if Lin'an is chaotic, as long as the election camp is fine, they are unmoved, clean, and it will be difficult to get into trouble.

After all, there will be a result in the turmoil in Lin'an, no matter whether the king of Pu'an will be involved, at least in addition to the name of the coach, the Yiwu election camp has nothing to do with him, neither giving him money, nor receiving gifts under his signboard, and the two can be cut.

Yang Congyi can control himself, but he can't control the king of Pu'an, if the king of the county reaps benefits in the name of selecting the general's camp in Lin'an, and tarnishes the reputation of the general's camp, Yang Congyi can't control it, I'm afraid that Lord Yang won't necessarily manage it.

Even if this is the case, Yang Congyi is not worried, because so far he has not received an instruction from Lin'an to take care of some people, and even if he receives such an instruction, he will not carry it out, and he has made it clear before leaving Lin'an, and all intercessions will be handed over to the commander.

Yang Congyi understands that the imperial court sent an envoy from Lin'an to inspect the camp of the selected generals, which means that the turmoil set off by Lin'an has finally reached the last moment, and the forbidden army of the various garrisons under the command of the front division of the palace may have completed the investigation, and the intersection between the forbidden army of each garrison and the king of Pu'an County is in the camp of the selected generals, and the camp of the selected generals is checked, and when a few envoys return to Lin'an, this turmoil will have a result.

In late March, at the latest, April, the imperial court's trial of the election camp will end, and by then Yang Congyi's fate will be clear.

For most of the year, he did everything he had to do, and he didn't know what the final result was, but he just had a clear conscience. As for the open and secret struggle between the DPRK and China, he is not qualified to participate, and he does not want to participate.
