Chapter 784: The Envoy of the Capital, the Son of Heaven's Message

Due to the fact that the address has not been settled before, except for the official documents of the imperial court that can be transmitted through the post station express horse, the rest of the letters and so on are all lagging behind, such as the British public security Yuanhou such a wealthy family can naturally send letters through their own power and prestige, but others do not have that ability. So, it wasn't until February 15 that the first letter from Guangzhou was delivered to Zhang Yue, but the payment time was a year ago. In other words, such a letter was on the road for a full month and a half.

Although it was now when the north wind was blowing at sea, in order to avoid gossip, Du Juan did not ask those ships carrying grain to deliver family letters, but went to the home of a family in Guangdong to find relatives, and then the things were delivered. With this relationship, Zhang Yue opened the door for others, and looking at the letterheads with different handwritings, he also felt cheerful.

The first piece of paper was naturally written by Du Juan, and the first sentence of the opening chapter told him a good news, but not long after he left, Amber was diagnosed with a happy pulse and is now recuperating at home. Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he learned this, but when he saw the last two sentences of the letter, he couldn't help frowning. Du Juan seemed to inadvertently mention that the imperial court ordered to sacrifice to the god of the sea a few years ago, because Zhang Qian, the eunuch of the Governor City, led by the eunuch Zhang Qian, the governor of Guangdong, Yu Qian, did not go for some reason, and the political secretary went to the right political envoy Xiang Shaoyuan. Although it is just a few words, Zhang Yue knows Du Juan's habits very well, so he noticed the strangeness in this, and he couldn't help but think about it.

On the second piece of paper, however, there were only a few untidy sentences, and there were no chewing words, and it looked like it was all nagging, and the letter paper was a little crumpled. Guessing that it was written by his mother herself, as if she had shed tears on it, Zhang Yue pinched the fluttering letter paper and sighed involuntarily. When he moved to the third one, his eyes lit up. The first half is Zhang Fu, but he reports the progress of martial arts these days in a regular manner; Behind him is Jingguan, but he is showing off how he respects his grandmother and mother, how he respects his uncle, how he takes care of his younger brothers and sisters, and writes two pieces of paper freely, although the handwriting is immature, it can be seen that it has taken a lot of effort. I don't know how much effort he put into writing these words alone.

Then there are autumn marks and amber. One is a slightly dull Xiaokai, and the other is Juanxiu's book, which is full of words saying that he is very good at home, so that he can be more careful outside, full of cold and warm meaning.

After folding the five pieces of letter paper and putting them back in the envelope, Zhang Yue found that this was really a bulging letter, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Now that he has returned to Qinghua Mansion, he will be transferred to the state capital in the near future, and the use of troops will come to an end, and the selection of talents has basically been completed. After all, except for the south, Lao Huang Fu knew everything about the situation in the central and northern regions, so he didn't need to do much. Mu Sheng's army has gradually retreated from Mengzi County, but many of the people under Liu Sheng's command have to stay in the local area to make up for the vacancy of the Tuntian army and others. The generals are already calculating the return date, and it is the same regardless of the martial arts.

However, there has been no reply to the matter of the election of officials in his previous letter, what is the matter between the DPRK and China, is it shelved, or is it busy with other things, or is it still arguing about the affairs of the officials?

"Lord Zhang, the envoy who delivered the decree is already ten miles outside Qinghua Mansion, Liu Dashuai, please hurry up and change your clothes and go over to greet you!"

Zhang Yue, who was groaning, raised his eyebrows, immediately packed up the family letter, and then called a family general to come in. Military attachés naturally wear armor and military robes when marching, and civilian officials accompany them, so for the convenience of living, they naturally do not wear any official robes such as silk and crepe, all of which are light and light. And at this time, after putting on the complicated court clothes that he hadn't worn for a long time, he only felt that he was detained all over his body, and he was not even used to walking.

Since this is a serious edict, the person in charge of reading it is a lieutenant official and two brocade guards, accompanied by dozens of internal supervisors and brocade guards, so the etiquette of greeting has been performed the day before, and now it is officially welcoming people into the reading. First of all, the golden drum battle, and then the Marquis of Anyuan Liu Sheng led the generals out of Guo to greet him, and when the people were brought to the Dragon Pavilion of the Qinghua Mansion, everyone received the order according to the five bows. After tossing for most of the day, everyone followed behind the predecessors, and it was not until the bright voice sounded that they breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of the civil and military division, Zhang Yue's position is second only to Li Qing, who has just recovered from a serious illness. As he expected, the edict was full of words such as Xuanjie and offering prisoners, but the time was only mentioned for three months, and there was no reward for meritorious deeds, and it was probably issued after returning to Beijing. In addition to this, it is Baoding Bo Liang Ming with the deputy general Yin, as the chief military officer of the town guard address, Chen Qia is the third secretary of the address with Shang Shuzhi, and Huang Fu goes to Beijing after the address is settled, and the more than 3,000 talents selected by the address are released, and there are no other words that are too fresh. However, in addition to these, it was for him to leave for Beijing immediately.

This salute and so on for two hours, the thought of returning to Beijing, although it was only three months later, but a group of people up and down were deeply excited. And because Zhang Yue was the first to leave, he had to set up a drink at night and invited Liu Sheng, Li Qing and a few others, and it was not until the treetops on the moon that he left drunk. He was also an old man in the confusion, and he didn't refuse to see the visitors before, but in fact, not many of them really drank it, and when he returned to the house and drank a decanting soup, he finally relieved himself.

"Forget about An Yuanhou, everyone else is so coaxing, if I hadn't prepared, I would have to get drunk to death!" complained angrily, Zhang Yue said to Peng Shisan, "You take a few people back to Guangzhou to report the news first, and let them choose a good day to set off on the road back to Beijing, or wait for Amber to give birth before leaving." This trip should not be a temporary intention to ask me to go back, probably for other purposes. ”

Peng 13 agreed and walked out, but as soon as he went out, Zhang Yue heard a voice outside, and after a while, Peng 13 actually led a person back. Although the little hat in the green coat looked very simple, Zhang Yue had already practiced his keen eyes, and at a glance he found that it was a small eunuch who was serving the lieutenant in this decree.

"The little one has seen Master Zhang!"

Seeing the little eunuch lying on the ground and kowtowing without saying a word, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly ordered him to get up. Before he could ask about the origin, the person who came reported to his family, saying that he was the godson of Lu Feng, the governor of Dongchang. After explaining these things clearly, he lowered his hand and said in a proper manner: "When the little one came out this time, Gonggong Lu took the little one to see the emperor. Someone accused Yunnan Muwangfu of encroaching on people's land, so the emperor asked the adults to go to Yunnan and take Mu Sheng's son Mu Bin to Beijing together. ”

Hearing the words of encroachment on the land, Zhang Yue was only slightly stunned and laughed - it was obvious that the imperial court did not want to pursue this matter, otherwise whether it was to send someone else to investigate, or let him inquire clearly when he passed by, it would be a solution, and there was no need to specifically mention letting him go with Mu Sheng's eldest son Mu Bin. It seems that the Mu family guards Yunnan and governs the upper and lower military powers, and there was no objection from the court and the central government in the early years, but now there are some other voices.

If it weren't for the fact that Yunnan is inseparable from the Mu family today, I'm afraid that the two words of the town guard will also become the target of the Jingtang.

"I know, after I set off, I will go to Mengzi County and enter Beijing through Yunnan-Guihu and Guangzhou."

The little eunuch saw that Zhang Yue spoke kindly, and his heart was much less, so he was busy and smiled: "The emperor also said that you don't have to be anxious on the road, so you don't have to be sick on the road, and you have to adjust when you get to the capital, giving others an excuse." In addition, the father-in-law also asked the little one to talk, and he was already paying attention to the things you reminded him. It's just a dog thing with too much ambition, and with the wind and waves this time, you can put people down in three or two strokes, so you can rest assured! ”

These words sounded clueless, but Zhang Yue's heart was open. Although there is no Wang Zhen, Zhang Zhen and so on, even Lu Feng himself is also an ambitious guy, but a cultured eunuch is always much more difficult to deal with than an uneducated eunuch. Smiled happily, he was about to ask Peng Shisan to reward this young little eunuch, when he suddenly thought of the words wind and waves.

"What big things have happened in the DPRK and China recently?"

The little eunuch was selected to speak alone, so he was naturally a clever person who could understand it at all, and said with a busy smile: "There is an unobtrusive imperial history who is stupid to go to the book, saying that the abolition of the garrison place of the lieutenant officials, the abolition of the inner study hall, etc., the result is that the emperor is furious, and several imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate follow the book, and even Gu Duxian is a little anxious." In addition to this, several elders and ministers in the court also quarreled over many things, in short, you will know when you go back, Lord Zhang. ”

Thinking of Du Juan's previous mention in the letter that Yu Qian was absent during the sacrifice to the god of the sea, Zhang Yue finally realized that something really happened this time, and immediately took a deep breath, which allowed Peng Shisan to take people out after rewarding. Pressing the temples on both sides, he remembered what he said to Qian again, and he didn't know what it was like, so he shook his head.

The elders of the affairs department of the Inner Book Hall all pretended to be dumb, and he actually exposed it directly, and directly said that he wanted to abolish the lieutenant guard! Yu Qian in history doesn't seem to care about this stubble, otherwise how could he have been promoted to the secretary of the military department in the more than ten years from Xuande to orthodoxy? Now this sudden outbreak of music is afraid that it will shock the palace and the palace. However, someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate actually followed the book, which shows that Gu Zuo's effect in cleaning up the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not bad. In any case, this matter will have to wait for him to return to Beijing.

Since there was a holy will, Zhang Yue's entourage naturally packed his luggage overnight, and when he was about to rest, someone outside reported that the Ruan family had sent something. When he brought it in, he found that it contained several porcelain bottles of pills, half boxes of agarwood, a few spice recipes, various ivory carved knick-knacks, and a plain note.

Su wrote some words of thanks on the note, and asked Zhang Yue if he could recommend his brother Ruan Qin to Li Cheng of the military department after returning to Beijing, the two families are related, and then I would like to ask Li Cheng to take care of him. At the end, he mentioned agarwood and spices, saying that they were given to Zhang Yue's mother Sun and his wife Du Juan, and all kinds of ivory carved gadgets were for children to play with, and as for the pills, they had special effects on poisonous injuries and were transferred to Yang Wubo, in short, the sentences were tactful and appropriate.

"She's very thoughtful, and she probably knows that I won't be able to carry much with me this time, so it's all light stuff. Lao Peng, when you go back to Guangzhou, you brought these with you, and you didn't disappoint her. ”

Peng Shisan took the carved lacquered mahogany box with a smile, glanced at the delicate lock on it, then squeezed his eyes with a smile, and went without saying more. Zhang Zhuo took a lot of people before, and Zhang Yue took a lot of people away, and there were not many people left in Guangzhou. If Du Juan and others were to set off from Guangzhou to Beijing, he would have to at least divide half of his current entourage back to ensure safety along the way. After all, Zhang Yue's departure, Anyuan Hou Liusheng must send someone to Mengzi County.

Since he knew that Zhang Yue would go with Mu Bin, the prince of Mu Wangfu, the treacherous and cunning Peng Shisan, only left Niu Dang and other four generals, and the rest all went back to Guangzhou with him. Sure enough, when he set off the next day, Anyuan Marquis Liusheng happily dialed a hundred sergeants to escort Zhang Yue to Mengzi County, Yunnan. When he got there, the Mu family of the head snake would naturally have someone to greet him, so he didn't have to worry about it at that time. Before leaving, Zhang Yue said goodbye to Li Qing, Huang Fu, Chen Qia, Shi An, Chen Yong and others one by one, and naturally had additional instructions for Shi An and Chen Yong.

The roads to the north have all been completed, and under the clearance of several large armies, not to mention rebellion, even the bandits are much less. It only took a little time for Chen Tianbao, who had been gaining momentum for a long time, to declare a failure, and the news that Zheng He led a powerful ship to ask for guilt and occupy the city also spread, and the wealthy families who were about to move everywhere entered a dormant state. In the past two months, they have all encountered various troubles such as disturbances by local leaders, where can they take care of anything else?

All this is very simple, the wealthy family has continuously increased the taxes set by the government in various ways, but it has not changed during the war, and now once it is instigated, it naturally arouses another hidden hatred. However, now the initiator is leaving in a hurry, and behind him, a large number of native-born Jiaoren elites will also be relocated to the Central Plains in the near future.

Zhang Fu's previous war and talent plunder had greatly damaged the Jiaoren's vitality, but this time it was a real injury.

From Jiaozhou Prefecture to Mengzi County, if the army marches for at least a month, but Zhang Yue traveled day and night, and it only took half a month to arrive in Mengzi County, Lin'an Prefecture. At this time, Mu Sheng's army had already dispersed back to various guards, but Mu Sheng, who had received the news in advance, had already sent his family general Su Ming to lead elite soldiers to wait here. So, the sergeant in charge of the escort handed over the errand, received Zhang Yue's generous reward, and happily returned to the address, while Su Ming chartered the largest restaurant in the county to entertain Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue still remembers Liu Baifang and Su Si in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and he couldn't help but look at this extremely capable person around Mu Sheng during the banquet; And Su Ming heard Zhang Yue's great reputation for a long time, and while frequently toasting, he was also carefully looking at this amazing young high-ranking official, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the other party was no different from his own eldest young master, just a gentle and elegant son of a family. But when he was drunk, Zhang Yue mentioned that he was going to Beijing with Mu Bin on this trip, but he was shocked.

After the banquet, when Zhang Yue was invited back to the room to rest, he saw the drunken Zhang Yue enter the house as if he was unconscious under the support of Peng Shisan, he couldn't help but think of the arrangements that Cuihu Mu Wangfu had made in advance, and his brows couldn't help but twist into a big pimple.

Judging by the situation, Zhang Yue has already prepared for this matter, and he must have obtained information from Beijing. Since the eldest young master still needs to be taken care of when he arrives in Beijing, he has to make a statement to the master, so the beauty needs to be cautious!
