Zhang Bin couldn't understand why Chongzhen would listen to the slander and let him go back to Beijing to report on his work, but this report had to hand over the governor's seal letter and wait for the arrangement of the ministry.

There are many reasons why he believes that Chongzhen is listening to slander.

First of all, this time is not right, because he has only been the governor of Fuguang for one year, and there is no such thing as a statement that he has to go to Beijing to report on his work in a year.

If this debriefing is about his tenure as governor, there is some truth in it, he has been governor of Fujian for three years, and he should return to Beijing to report on his work.

However, the last time he entered the king of Jingqin, it happened to be the expiration of his three-year term, he had actually reported to Chongzhen, Chongzhen also knew what he had done during the three-year governorship, Chongzhen directly promoted him to the military department and the left deputy capital of the imperial history, the governor Fuguang, this debriefing process is equivalent to the end of the process, is it so important to go to the ministry to report a way.

Then, the timing was not right, because there was nothing important for him to do at this time.

The two major events of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Jiannu and the peasant rebel army, this, Zhang Bin had to pay attention to Bi Maokang, and as soon as there was relevant content in the newspaper, he asked him to send it over.

As a result, there was no mention of Jiannu in the Di newspaper this year, which shows that Huang Taiji was deflated, and after returning to Liaodong, he did not take any action against Daming, that is to say, this year, he was very "honest".

The peasant rebel army, as mentioned in the newspaper, Yang He, the governor of the Shaanxi trilateral military affairs, still has a few brushes, Chongzhen did not give him much money, but he did not tire of it, while stroking and suppressing, playing Zijin Liang, the Eight Kings, the King of Chuang, the King of Sweeping, Xing Red Wolf, the Black God and other leaders of the peasant rebel army do not want it, at this time these big kings and little kings fled to Shanxi with the team, and they didn't play with him.

In other words, the peasant rebel army was not a threat at this time, at least, according to the newspapers.

If it can be written like this in the newspaper, it proves that the imperial court is recognized, and it is impossible for Chongzhen to call him to clean up the peasant rebel army at this time.

Jiannu and the peasant rebel army didn't make any big moves, Chongzhen let himself go back to Beijing to report on his work, why, are you panicking?

Finally, the most important point is that the taxes of the two provinces of Fuguang have been rising since he took office, and there are more than four million taels of taxes a year, and the tax income of the two provinces is equal to the sum of all the tax revenues of the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Apocalypse Dynasty in a year.

Chances are, someone saw this huge peach and wanted to pick it and put it in their pocket!

Chongzhen must have been tricked, but Zhang Bin had to go.

If the official documents of the ministry are not followed, this official will not be able to do it, just this one, people can make all kinds of articles, Chongzhen is too young after all, a Wen Tiren can play him around, the remnants of the eunuch party want to work collectively, he is likely to be slandered by them as a thief who plots to rebel, Chongzhen is confused, it is really possible to believe it.

Since you have to go, let's go early, because this year is the year of the test, and the test will start in February, Chen Zilong and the others have already gone back to prepare for the test.

Chen Zilong's imperial examination in their history was very unsatisfactory, and they were played dead and alive by Wen Tiren, like Chen Zilong, a famous poet and writer in the late Ming Dynasty, who failed many times, and was not admitted to the Jinshi until Chongzhen was ten years old, which is simply a strange thing.

This kind of strange thing, of course Zhang Bin didn't want it to happen, originally, he had already told Xu Guangqi about it, but, now that he thinks about it, Xu Guangqi must not be able to play Wen Tiren, a shameless person, Chen Zilong and they are very likely to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he must rush to the capital before trying!

On the sixteenth day of the first month, just after the Lantern Festival, Zhang Bin set off, this time he still took the waterway, however, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not take any Zhenyuan cruiser and Weiyuan battleship, that is, more than 30 wheels, and he brought all the guards he could bring.

In the afternoon three days later, it was still Dagu Port, and it was still the Jinyi Guard who commanded Qi Panzong to wait alone on the dock.

Jinyiwei doesn't need a reason to blockade Dagu Port, as long as they don't say it themselves, no one will take this little thing to Chongzhen to chew their tongues, outside the capital, Jinyiwei's power is still quite large, and local officials, almost no one dares to provoke.

Whoever dares to chirp crookedly, kill or bury it, anyway, there are not many officials with clean butts at this time, just find some bullshit to come out, and you can drag it out and cut it according to the law!

Qi Panzong was accustomed to the power in his hands at this time, and at the same time he had cultivated a large group of cronies, rich, powerful, and background, he was like a fish in water in Jinyiwei, when it came to ability, he was much stronger than Luo Yang, of course, Chongzhen didn't value this, so Zhang Bin didn't have much to do, anyway, Luo Yangxing was also won over by himself, so there was no need to be this villain in vain.

Zhang Bin is also his in-law, and he has the grace of knowing him, he is still very kind to Zhang Bin, Zhang Bin just got off the boat, he greeted him and said: "Shuangquan, all the way is okay, how is Fanghua, when will you give birth?" ”

Zhang Bin stretched his waist and said with a smile: "It's good to get used to this boat, I've slept in the past two days, Fanghua is about to give birth, and the date should be March." ”

When Qi Panzong heard this, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are about to become a father." ”

Zhang Bin laughed and said: "Hahahaha, happy and happy, don't you want to be an uncle too." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the eight groups of guards almost got off the boat, and then Zhang Bin said seriously: "Are they ready for disguise?" ”

Qi Panzong said with a straight face: "Don't worry, it's all ready." ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and then asked, "What about the horses?" ”

Qi Panzong pointed to the dock not far away and said, "Right there, you really only bring four people with you to protect it?" ”

Zhang Bin looked at the horses over there, and said with a smile: "The capital is not Liaodong, what is there to be afraid of, I will leave first, and the rest of the people, you can help arrange it." ”

With that, he arched his hand and beckoned Xie Zhenggang to turn around and go to fetch the horses.

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, you ask Tairu to collect the information of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, the scholar of the Cabinet University, and Min Hongxue, the secretary of the ministry, and send someone to Chongxing Temple tomorrow night." ”

This is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the scholar of the cabinet, as well as the secretary of the ministry, ordinary people have to be shocked when they hear one, but Qi Panzong has no expression on his face, he just nodded lightly and said, "Okay." ”

Zhang Bin took Xie Zhenggang, Zhang Cha, Zhao Ru, and Zhang Pan to turn around and leave, and after a while, the five of them rode straight to the capital, and the remaining guards disguised themselves as various identities with the assistance of Qi Panzong, and rushed to the capital in batches.

This is the third time Zhang Bin has come to the capital, and the reason for his visit is different every time.

The first time was to fight for the future, but he blew out a piece of the sky and won the position of governor of Fujian;

The second time was to come to King Qin, he made a move to draw salary, directly sent troops to attack, took Zunhua, and frightened Huang Taiji went north in a hurry;

This time, he was inexplicably recruited to the capital, what will happen to the end?

He still lives in Chongxing Temple, or rents a separate courtyard, and this time he brought fewer people than the first time, so he didn't attract anyone's attention.

That night, at about midnight, in the courtyard where Zhang Bin lived, a soft sound suddenly sounded in the originally quiet night, and then, two black shadows flew down from the wing room with his back against the wall, one of which was almost flown down by the other with a belt.

Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru, who were on duty at the door of the main house, didn't make a sound, but just pressed their hands on the handle of the knife and looked at them carefully, then let go of their hands and stood there as if they didn't see these two people.

One of the black shadows didn't know if it was twisted or something, and was sitting on the ground rubbing it vigorously.

Zhang Bin looked out the window, then walked out quickly, walked to the black shadow on the ground and said with a wry smile: "Tairu, you just send someone else, why did you come here at night?" ”

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he took off the masking scarf, bared his teeth and grinned: "Oh, this ghost weather, it's too cold, the roof is so slippery, I almost twisted my foot!" ”

Zhang Bin stepped forward and patted the ashes on his body, shook his head and said: "You must not play any masked night walks in front of others, every time you come, you are careless, you can't even hide it from an ordinary person." ”

Luo Yangxing was unconvinced: "It's true, it's so thick ice on it, I don't believe you can go up and try it." ”

Zhang Bin rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I'm not as boring as you, let's go, let's go, didn't you say it's cold, hurry up and enter the house." ”

With that, he pulled Luo Yangxing and walked to the house.

The three of them entered the study, Zhang Bin beckoned them to sit down on the small table next to them and ordered, and asked people to make two cups of hot tea, and then urged: "Where's the thing?" ”

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he hurriedly took out a large handful of manuscript paper from his arms, and asked curiously: "Shuangquan, how do you know that these people got you back to the capital?" ”

Zhang Bin stood up, took the manuscript paper in his hand, then sat down, and said lightly: "Above the court, there are many boring people, but there are not many people who are so shameless like them, who can they be?" By the way, how do you know that these people got me back to the capital? ”

Luo Yang said proudly: "Father-in-law Cao told me, Father-in-law Cao asked me to warn you, be careful, these people seem to be deliberately targeting you, they want to get you to Zhan Shifu to be Zhan Shifu." ”

Sure enough, I want to pick peaches, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Zheng Sanpin, is still the chief official of the Yamen, it seems that he has promoted himself, after all, he is only an appointed position, and there is no rank, if you really want to count the rank, you can only count the rank of the squire of the military department and the left deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although these two positions are the third grade, but they are not the chief officials of the yamen, so transferring yourself to the Zhan Shifu to be the yamen boss seems to have promoted himself, in fact, bullshit.

Zhang Bin said inexplicably: "The prince seems to be only two years old, what can I do when I go to Zhan Shifu, can I teach the prince to walk every day?" ”

Luo Yangxing shook his head and said: "Min Hongxue didn't say that, he just told the emperor that he was rectifying the ministry, and then found that you had served as the governor of Fujian for three years and had no record of reporting on your work, which was not in accordance with the rules, he just persuaded the emperor to do things according to the rules." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he frowned, this Min Hongxue seems to be Wen Tiren's minion, he just found an excuse to recruit himself back to the capital, and the next Zhan Shi Mansion Zhan Shi was definitely not proposed by him.

He thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "Is there someone in the back who recommended me to be the Zhan Shi Mansion Zhan Shi?" Who, Wen Tiren or Zhou Yanru? ”

Luo Yangxing nodded again and again and said: "Yes, a few years ago, the emperor looked for Wen Tiren and asked him who was suitable to be Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Wen Tiren mentioned you, he said, it was occasionally heard that Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, said that you are going back to Beijing to report on your work, and he also said that you are young and in a high position, and you will be able to assist the prince in the future." ”

What he said seems to make a lot of sense, no wonder Chongzhen is moved.

However, Zhang Bin knew that if he was honestly played by them, he would not be able to wait for the day when the prince ascended the throne, and it was estimated that he would be killed by them in a year or two.

He pursed his lips and continued to ask, "Then what did Zhou Yanru say?" ”

Luo Yangxing said without thinking: "When the emperor asked Zhou Yanru, Zhou Yanru said that you are all-round in civil and military affairs, and you can be of great use. ”

This idiot, no wonder he was played by Wen Tiren, and he was used as a gun.

This matter is already obvious, it is Wen Tiren who wants to pick peaches, and it is not clear who he will recommend to take his place in the future, but he will definitely try his best to press himself to the position of Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi.

This seems to be more troublesome, because Chongzhen has been moved by what they said, what should I do?

He looked at the manuscript paper on the table, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, you go and tell Gonggong Cao, I will be careful." ”

What he meant by this was to let Luo Yanghe and Qi Panzong go back first, so that he could look at the information of Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru and others with peace of mind, and think of a way to continue to stay in the position of the governor of Fuguang.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yangxing suddenly smiled and said, "Shuangquan, can you say hello to Cao Huayu and Cao's second brother and ask him to advance 10,000 taels of silver for me?" ”

This guy, why is he spending money so ruthlessly, although there were not many dividends last year, but there were tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it was spent after the New Year!

However, it can be spent in this way, which is very good, but it makes you greedy for money, so that it is easy to control.

Zhang Bin pretended to be concerned and said enthusiastically: "What's the matter, the money is not enough to spend, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver last year were spent?" ”

Luo Yangxing smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, no, I was stupid at the time, and I handed over all the money to your sister-in-law, these days, I fell in love with a girl in the sect, and I wanted to redeem it and buy her a house to live in." ”

Zhang Bin showed a smile that everyone understood, pointed at Luo Yangxing and shook his head: "You, if you want to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, just say it clearly if you eat wild food, and give her a place to live, won't you go to live?" ”

Luo Yang smiled and said, "Occasionally, occasionally go." ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let someone say it early tomorrow morning, you take it easy, don't flash your waist." ”

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he immediately stood up and arched his hand: "Thank you, thank you, we won't bother you, farewell." ”

Zhang Bin stood up, sent them to the door, and watched them climb onto the roof and disappear into the night, then turned around and returned to the study, picked up the materials on the desk and looked carefully.
