Chapter 930: Jizhou News
After letting Na Ding Benshan settle down first, Lu Zhen rushed to the side hall to see the people from Jizhou. Seeing that he was still full of spring breeze, Han Wutong couldn't help but want to remind: "Master......"
"Huh? Is there anything else to report? Hearing this, Lu Zhen stopped and looked at the other party. turned out to find that the other party looked worried, as if he was hiding something: "Just say it directly." ”
"That...... General Lin may not be greeting you for the New Year this time, and it is not Cen Baihu who came before, but a different person, and his expression is also a little inappropriate. Han Wutong finally said what was in his heart.
Only then did Lu Zhen become cautious: "Is this the case?" But no matter what kind of news, you have to meet him. As he spoke, he continued to move forward, but his steps were not as brisk as before.
In the side hall, a tall man with a fierce expression was pacing back and forth with some uneasiness, as if he was worried about something. It wasn't until he saw Lu Zhen and the others coming from the corridor that he stopped and waited in front of the door: "I've seen Wei Chengbo." "At first glance, it's a standard military person.
Lu Zhen glanced at him, and saw a little resentment and worry in his expression, as Han Wutong said, he didn't bring any good news to himself for the New Year. So after entering the door and taking a seat, and letting the other party sit down as well, he said solemnly: "What, something went wrong in Jizhou, so Lin Lie sent you to see me?" What trouble did he have? ”
When he asked like this, the other party immediately stood up, and then quickly knelt down: "Please also ask Wei Chengbo to save my general, he ...... He was accused of being a foreign enemy and was thrown into prison. Now only you can save General Lin. ”
"What?" This news was indeed far worse than Lu Jin's imagination, and after being stunned for a moment, he stepped forward to help the person up, and then asked with a serious expression: "What the hell is going on?" Lin Lie is now the chief soldier of Jizhou, how can he still be imprisoned? Who did this? Lu Zhen naturally knew Lin Lie's character, and he never believed that he would really do anything to collude with foreign enemies, so he only asked who harmed him, not anything else.
"It was the Jizhou Supervisor and several local officials who found out the so-called correspondence between General Lin and the Tartars, and then detained him in the army. My brother and I wanted to go directly into the prison to rescue him, but General Lin refused. He only asked the lowly rank to rush to the capital, saying that only Wei Chengbo could save him. ”
"Overseers?" Lu Jinluo frowned slightly: "Why haven't I heard of this position in our army in the past?" Who is that? ”
In fact, there were many supervisors in the army in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the eunuchs who played this position were eunuchs in the palace, in order to ensure the absolute loyalty of the army to the Son of Heaven. At the beginning, the power of the prison army was also very limited, and there was no command power, at most it was just to have a good relationship with those arrogant soldiers. However, with the passage of time, the status of the supervising army in the army has been raised day by day, and it has even reached the point where it can compete with the commanders of the three armies. Naturally, this is quite obvious to the military constraints on the Daming border passes.
It wasn't until the defeat of Tumubao that the Ming Dynasty was almost destroyed because of Wang Zhen's indiscriminate command, that the imperial court finally recalled the prison troops who were sent.
Don't let them cause any more chaos on the front lines. Of course, many of them are related to Zhu Qiyu's hatred of eunuchs.
didn't expect times to change, but after more than ten years, the emperor's attitude towards eunuchs has changed again. As a result, not only was the East Factory rebuilt, but even the supervisors sent to the border towns increased. For example, Jizhou was sent to an inner palace eunuch named Liu Daorong as a prison soldier only half a year ago.
And after this one arrived in the local area, in order to make meritorious contributions to himself, he always forced the defenders to fight the Mongols on the grassland. In this regard, Lin Lie, as the chief soldier, naturally could not accept it, so there were many contradictions between the two sides, and the relationship was extremely tense.
Just a few years ago, one of Liu Daorong's nephews did evil in the city and wanted to force the people's daughters, but they were taken down by the defenders on the spot. At that time, Liu Daorong wanted to rely on his identity to ask Lin Lie for his nephew, but he was rejected by the iron-faced and selfless Lin Zongbing, and he still tortured his nephew in the army, and as a result, he was disabled......
"So, Liu Daorong completely hated Lin Lie because of this public and private holiday?" Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Exactly. That Liu Cong is his nephew and his righteous son, and he originally planned to use it to succeed the incense, but the result was ...... At that time, Liu Daorong had said that there would definitely be a report on the matter, but unexpectedly, just over a month, there was such a collusion between the chief soldier and the Tartars. ”
"What about the officials in Jizhou? Why did they collude with Liu Daorong? Did Lin Lie offend them before? Lu Zhen asked a little puzzled. He knew very well that although civil officials didn't like military generals, they hated eunuchs more and more, why did the two actually join forces?
"This ......" The other party obviously hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly knelt down again: "Wei Chengbo, all this is because of the humble ......"
"Because of you? What do you mean by that? Lu Zhen didn't rush to wake him up this time, but looked at him carefully. After taking a closer look, he felt that the other party's appearance was a little familiar, as if he was somewhat similar to Lin Lie, so he frowned and asked, "What is your relationship with Lin Lie?" ”
"I ...... The lowly name is Lin Minghui, and he is the nephew of the general who is in Jizhou! After Lu Zhen saw something, he didn't dare to hide it, so he directly revealed his identity.
"Lin Minghui ......" Lu Zhen groaned for a moment and recalled, and then remembered a little bit of Lin Lie's life experience earlier-
In fact, because Lin Lie was silent, and because he had encountered injustice and persecution before, he never mentioned his previous affairs. It wasn't until he drank too much with Lu Zhen that he took advantage of the alcohol to say a few words, he said that he was framed in the army before, not only did he almost die, but even his brother and a pair of nephews were also assigned elsewhere, and they have never seen each other since. This became an eternal pain in his life.
Unexpectedly, after going to Jizhou, he actually met his nephew again, which was really too unexpected. But Lu Zhen quickly pulled his mind back and asked out loud: "You said that it was because of your relationship that Lin Lie had a feud with the local officials?" But what's going on? ”
"In fact, I was on an errand in Jizhou as a prisoner, but I found out that my uncle had become a local soldier, so
......" he said, bowing his head a little ashamedly.
Lu Zhen just smiled, this is human nature, can anyone still watch their own nephew continue to suffer in the city where he is an official? Under his gentle gaze, Lin Minghui continued: "At the beginning, it was a matter of little to be lowly and not a bad thing, plus I had suffered a lot before, and after having my uncle as a backer, I wanted to find out the people I had tortured earlier to vent my evil anger. As a result, an official was beaten to death, and he happened to be the confidant of the Jizhou prefect. For this reason, although the general severely reprimanded me with eighty military sticks, he did not hand me over, thinking that that the man had already done a lot of harm and was really innocent. Because he hid me in the army, and those who were in charge of me had nothing to do with me, the matter was finally settled. Unexpectedly, this laid the root of the curse, and actually led to those officials joining hands with Liu Daorong, the prison army......" In the end, his face was full of remorse, and his head hung lower.
Lu Zhen also showed a wry smile on his face, it turned out that there were so many causes and consequences of the matter, and all kinds of grievances were entangled together to cause such a result. But soon, he turned his attention back to the key point: "Even so, how could those people have letters from Lin Lie and Tatar collusion? ”
"No, not Tartars. It's a Jurchen ......" Lin Minghui hurriedly corrected: "Actually, we have a large Jurchen tribe in Jizhou, and we have had some contact with them, and we have also done a few deals with them. Originally, before this year, the general planned to buy Dongzhu and Hai Dongqing from the Jurchen tribe and take them to the capital to send to Wei Chengbo, but the things did not arrive, but they were regarded by the people in the city as colluding with other clans to plot against him, and then Liu Daorong came forward and took the general down by directly bringing people into the military camp. ”
"Is that what happened?" Lu Zhen frowned, saying this, it seemed that even himself was the reason why Lin Lie was imprisoned. If he hadn't prepared a congratulatory gift for himself, it would have been impossible for the other party to give him a chance to frame him.
"But it's obviously a deal, why did people end up with a bad plot? Also, what about the Epistle? ”
"This lowly position is unknown. I only heard that the letter seemed to be the general's own handwriting, and even he could not refute it. That's why they dared to take people directly in the barracks, and we were stopped by the general when we wanted to make a move. He only said that he was framed, and only Wei Chengbo can help him in this matter......" As he spoke, Lin Minghui kowtowed to Lu Zhen again: "Wei Chengbo, you must save the general, he is really wronged......"
Only then did Lu Zhen step forward again and help Lin Minghui up: "Lin Lie has a deep relationship with me, since something happened to him, I naturally won't stand idly by." However, this time it was too strange, and it would not be easy for me to save him even if I tried to, so you have to give me some time. In this way, you can stay in my house for a few days, and when I have a clue, I will go to Jizhou with you and think of rescuing Lin Lie. ”
"Yes. The general said that as long as I see Wei Chengbo, I will obey your orders in everything. Lin Minghui nodded hurriedly.
Lu Zhen glanced at him, but sighed in his heart, it seemed that his plan to retreat earlier could only be delayed, no matter what, he had to find out the matter first and help Lin Lie get rid of his crimes.
