Watching Tan Yuan and Shao Yun walk out, Wang looked at their backs and smiled knowingly. But when he turned around, he found that Zhang Yu had a gloomy face, and couldn't help but say: "Old man, why are you gloomy, this Shao Yun is still good." ”

Zhang Yu stood up, didn't speak, and went directly into the back hall. After a while, Wang also came in and said, "Old man, you make it clear to me, what are you dissatisfied with?" ”

Zhang Yu looked at the angry lady and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Madam, this matter is very complicated, and I can't say a word clearly." ”

"What's unclear, isn't it that you are King Yan's person, Shao Yun is the grandson's person, you are afraid that King Yan will doubt your loyalty."

"What are you talking nonsense about, Madame is an officer of the imperial court, not a person from King Yan."

Wang glanced at him with a sneer and said, "Old man, I don't know you yet?" You are an official fan, when you were in the desert, you were loyal to the Mongols, and they also gave you a false position, but the Han people are the slaves of the Mongols after all, and you had to flee back to the Central Plains with your whole family. ”

"When you arrived in the Ming Dynasty, you joined the army again, and now you have become the commander of the guard, and you are the fourth product. You never forget that you want to be above the second grade. But now that the war has subsided, there is almost no possibility, so you hugged King Yan's thigh and wanted to take a risk. ”

Zhang Yu hurriedly covered Wang's mouth, stomped his feet and said: "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about, I want to be promoted, but I am mainly for this family, I hope you can have a decree, and your son can have a knighthood, isn't this good?" ”

"Okay, it's not that you're unwilling?"

Zhang Yu stood up violently and slammed his fist on the wall: "I'm unwilling, what's wrong?" At the beginning in Mobei, the heir of the Yuan valued me very much and gave me a great responsibility, but those Mongolian nobles not only disobeyed the order, but also sneered, saying that I, a humble Han man, climbed to a high position by slipping his beard, but I was just a fortunate minister, I was not convinced, and I had to work hard to prove myself and fight bravely to kill the enemy in the decisive battle of Lingbei. But as the war intensified, the heirs of Yuan became more and more dependent on those nobles, and I had to take you to flee to the Ming Dynasty. From that day on, I vowed that I would definitely mix better in Daming. ”

"Now that Mongolia is in decline and there is no war, what will I get promoted? I'm in my fifties, how much longer can I wait? King Yan is the male lord, why not follow him? ”

Wang was startled, looking at her husband's somewhat crazy and distorted face, trembling and pointing at her husband, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhang Yu looked at his wife's appearance, immediately came to his senses, walked to the door and looked, and found that there was no one, so he breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door. Seeing that his wife still hadn't recovered, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said softly: "Madam, please rest assured, I will be measured all my life." ”

"Alas," Wang sobbed softly, "Shimei, I have been married into the Zhang family for more than thirty years, and I have always listened to you. But I can't listen to you about my daughter's marriage, I prefer that she marry somewhere else, not in Beiping, so that even if it happens, it won't affect her. ”

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, but you can't marry someone like Shao Yun." ”

"So what are you going to do? Could it be that her daughter still wants to marry King Yan? ”

"Uh," Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "This is okay, why didn't I think of it?" But how can you let King Yan accept the side concubine? ”

Wang stood up angrily, waved his hand and slapped Zhang Yu, and said, "Old man, are you crazy?" Your daughter is twenty years younger than King Yan, if she has no heirs and will be buried in the future, how can you let your daughter jump into the fire pit? ”

Zhang Yu paused, couldn't help but sit down, hugged his head and said, "This really doesn't work, I'll think about it again." ”

Wang looked at him, and he was also a little unbearable, and said: "Old man, don't think about this, I don't want you to be prosperous and rich, just if the family can be safe." ”

Zhang Yu smiled bitterly: "Peace and security, how can it be so easy?" "The heart said: Madam, you don't know that I have been loyal to King Yan, and Wen Bi has also boarded this boat. Thinking of this, suddenly a stirring spirit stood up and said, "Madam, I want to go to the palace, I have to report today's matter to the prince, if the prince misunderstands, it will be troublesome." ”

Wang looked at him and waved his hand weakly: "You go, I'm a little tired, go back and rest." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, pushed open the door, and walked out. After a while, Wang walked out and sighed. When they were all gone, a figure quietly appeared at the corner of the house, and the hazy light shone on his face, it was Zhang Hui, the second son of the Zhang family----.

When Zhang Yu walked out of the Yan Palace, he saw his son fighting with Tan Yuan and Shao Yun in the distance, and couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything, turned over and got on his horse, and rushed to the palace. When he arrived at the palace, the family banquet hosted by Zhu Di himself was coming to an end, Zhu Di and his wife didn't talk about it, the three sons and the Xu family were also very familiar, everyone ate this meal very comfortably, Zhu Di did not ask about some guns and sticks like the acting king, only talked about family life, but in the same way, Xu Huizu asked about the situation of the Beiping garrison, and Zhu Di also agreed not to hurt or itch. Fortunately, Princess Yan played a round next to her, and the atmosphere was more harmonious. After hearing Zhang Yu's request to see, Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Zhang Yu to wait for a while.

After the dinner, King Yan asked the princess and his son to accompany Xu Huizu's three brothers and sisters, and came to the study by himself, and asked Zhang Yu to come in. After Zhang Yu came in, he bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, today the two martial arts classmates of Xiaoer Wenbi came to visit at home, and the last general chatted with them for a while, and felt that he should report to the prince." ”

"Oh, what did you talk about?"

"Lord Wang, Xu Huizu inspected Northern Xinjiang this time, so far, it has been almost three months, first to Shaanxi, then sent cavalry to inspect the Hetao, and finally went north along Yulin, crossed Junzijin to Dongsheng, and then inspected near Fengzhou, and then passed through Datong, Kaiping, Daning, Guangning, and then through Shanhaiguan, Yongping, Jixian to Beiping."

King Yan glanced at Xu Huizu's route on the map, thoughtfully, but said: "Shimei, I know all these things from the mouth of Wei Guogong, do you have any other information?" ”

"This," Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "The last general doesn't know if it's useful, it's about the staff officer." According to the description of the little staff officer named Tan Yuan......"

King Yan still scanned the map, as if he hadn't heard it, and when Zhang Yu finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Shimei, what you said is very important, this king needs a loyal person like you, you have worked hard, Wen Bi has done a very good job in trying thousands of households, and after a while, you can be promoted to an official thousand households." ”

"Thank you for your concern, the dog is stubborn and not enough to worry about."

"Hehe, Shimei, you are so humble. You're not an easy son. ”

After Zhang Yu left, King Yan was in the study, studying the map for a long time. Finally, let the guards call Jin Zhong. Jin Zhong, a native of Yinxian County, Zhejiang Province (now Yinzhou District, Ningbo City), likes to study, his brother joined the army to Tongzhou, unfortunately died, according to the Ming law, Jin Zhong must go to the substitute, but Jin Zhong did not even have the money to go to Beiping, fortunately met Yuan Heng and funded him. After arriving in Beiping, he was incorporated into the army. The army of the Ming Dynasty was half military and half civilian, so he had time to go to the market to tell fortunes, which was very effective. Dao Yan later recommended Yuan Hui and Jin Zhong to King Yan, who is currently in charge of confidential matters for King Yan, who is in charge of night on the surface, but is actually in charge of the spies of King Yan's mansion, including Lu Tong's intelligence point in Beijing.

Due to Xu Huizu's inspection of the north and more and more information, Jin Zhong has been staying in the Yanwang Mansion recently, so he came over in less than a stick of incense. Jin Zhong first saluted and said, "Lord Wang, what will happen in the future?" ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Jin Zhong, this king wants to ask, where are the servants brought by Wei Guogong to Beiping now?" ”

"This," Jin Zhong groaned slightly, and said: "Qu Neng, Guo Key, Song Xuan and others went out of the city, and that Wang Du took a group of people to live in the post house, about two quarters of an hour, these people formed a team and began to wander around the streets and alleys of Beiping City, because the manpower was not dispatched, and he did not have time to follow everyone. ”

"What? Why don't you allocate enough manpower? ”

"Lord Wang, this matter is a mistake of the last general, I didn't expect them to suddenly go out and scatter."

Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "Forget it, remember this matter first, and then there will be similar things, and military law will do it." ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands."

"Did your people inquire about anything?"

"The whereabouts of these people have not all been found, but the last general has roughly studied it, Wang Du should have asked them to observe the entire Beiping City, as for that Wang Du, he took people around the palace, and then sent three guards into the brothel alley in the northeast corner**; Do you want to ......?"

Zhu Di thought for a moment and said: "Forget it, Wang Du didn't go in by himself, and it's useless to poke it out, as long as it is said that it is to investigate the case, we can't win if we stab the emperor." What else? ”

"There are also two officers who went to the house of Zhang Yu, the commander of the left guard, and they haven't come out for an hour."

"And now?"

"The last general doesn't know, the last general asked them to report every half an hour, they were still in the house when they reported last time, they should be having dinner."

"Oh, so keep an eye on these two and see what they do?"

"The last will obey."

"What about Wang Du?"

"Nothing special, I've already returned to the station."

"Well, this king knows, you must keep an eye on these people in the last few days, and this king must know their every move."

"The last general understands, but there is one thing, when the last general ordered someone to keep an eye on him, he found that there were other people who were also watching."

"Who?"

"I don't know yet, and near Qingshou Temple, I also found someone staring at Qingshou Temple."

"What? Someone staring at Master Dao Yan? ”

"Lord Wang, rest assured, Master Daoyan's safety is guaranteed, and the last general has already sent people to strengthen the defense forces inside and outside the temple."

Zhu Di pondered for a while and said, "Those who are watching should find out the root cause as soon as possible, and talk to Master Dao Yan to listen to his opinion." This king cannot tolerate the presence of non-king forces in Beiping. ”

"Yes, lord."

"Okay, you go get busy, and report it in time if you find it."

After Jin Zhong left, Zhu Di synthesized Jin Zhong and Zhang Yu's statements and felt that Zhang Yu's statements were credible. However, from Zhang Yu's words, it can be seen that he admires the two young officers very much, which makes Zhu Di very interested. He suddenly remembered the complaints that Zhang Fu had made when he was training the soldiers, and he had been worrying about how to deal with the matter lately. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, walked into the inner house, saw Xu Huizu, and said, "Wei Guogong, the king of Ming Japan wants to visit the escorts you brought, I don't know if it's possible?" ”
