Chapter 497: Settle the general ledger after the fact, and it doesn't stop
Arutai retreated in a hurry, and the city of Xuanfu suddenly returned to the prosperous atmosphere of singing and dancing. Originally, the people who were a little frightened thought that Xuanfu was the first fortified city among the nine sides, and even if the Tartars came in, they would be safe and sound, so the merchants still bought low and sold high to do business, and the people still worked to earn their lives, and only officers at all levels did not dare to slack off.
Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng returned again after seven years, and he still had the same vigorous and resolute temperament as he did at the beginning, and he couldn't be late at all in the morning, otherwise he would be served with a military stick. So, after a few days, the sound of horses' hooves in the early morning has become a common song in Xuanfu City.
And the crown of the lieutenant guard is not as arrogant as it used to be. Xu Heng is already a third-generation hero, and he is only an earl, but Zheng Heng is a real soldier who started with his car, ranking fifth among the heroes of Jingjing, except for the rising star British Gong Zhang Fu, no one in the first generation of honors and nobles. What made him even more jealous was that Zhang Yue, who was trapped in Xinghe, not only made a successful return, but also added the title of Governor Xuanfu Military Affairs, and was no longer the famous and infinite Governor of Qincha at the beginning.
The crown was unhappy, but Lu Feng was relieved. Although he is not the No. 1 lieutenant official in the Beijing Division, he is still a head and a face, plus he is in charge of the East Factory, everyone has to give some face, and as a result, he is hindered everywhere in the Xuanfu. It took the boss's effort to command the whole Xuanfu like a grate, but in the end, the ruffians and hooligans caught a bunch of spies, and there were no spies to be caught, and they had to face the yin and yang weird Haishou all day long.
At two o'clock on this day, Cheng Jiu put on the red satin embroidered unicorn suit and a mink warm hat, and he went out and got into the car with the copper hand stove, thinking about what Zhang Yue should say when he saw him. He has already sent someone to deliver a letter to Yuan Fang, presumably the most proficient Jinyi guard commander can think of a way, as long as a few people from the guard here are transferred, and a few more capable ones are stuffed in, taking advantage of the fact that the military affairs have stopped, he doesn't believe that he can't turn the sky of this Xuanfu over. What's more, isn't there still Zhang Yue?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help humming softly triumphantly: "Every child is a newborn rabbit lamb in a thatched and sandy nest walking up the paddock, and I am a familiar horse with a feathered old pheasant shrouded in a net. After some bows and cold arrows, I have never fallen behind, and I just don't say 'people are middle-aged and everything is off', how can I waste the spring and autumn! ”
Listening to the lyrics of this absurdity, Cheng Jiu almost couldn't help laughing, and it was easy to hold it down, so he asked playfully: "Father-in-law is in a good mood today, a few days ago you still felt that it was too cold to go out early in the morning!" ”
"Today is different, do you understand?" Lu Feng casually picked up the gloves and slapped Cheng Jiu's head, then he smiled, "Seeing that the elite soldiers of Jinyiwei are about to arrive, and Zhang Yue is coming back to patrol the Xuanfu, why are we not happy?" Haishou's weird guy has to get out of the way this time, without this support, let's see that the crown can turn out of the sky! ”
"But Lord Xiao Zhang is just the governor of military affairs......"
"Wang Guan is the lieutenant of the town guard, as long as he is the governor of military affairs, Zhang Yue still has the opportunity to deal with him!" Lu Feng, who had been thinking carefully for a long time, lazily leaned on the soft blue and white cushion, and said casually, "Although there are few good things in the Jinyi Guard of Xuanfu, our family can still make some splashes if we scatter a lot of silver." If our family is not mistaken, this time Zhang Yue has just arrived in Xinghe, and the Tartar army suddenly besieged the city, which may not be a coincidence. If it's really a good thing for the crown, then he will wait for the end with Huang Yan! Zhang Yue looked at Wen Wen and cozy, but he was a ruthless character in his bones, isn't there a saying that he counts the ledger after the fact? ”
Cheng Jiu didn't think so, but when he caught a glimpse of the fierce light flashing in Lu Feng's eyes, he immediately pretended to be confused. Looking at it like this, this master has been suppressed ruthlessly in Xuanfu these days, and I am afraid that he intends to plant it even if he is not. Then again, who made the back of the eunuch's ass unclean?
Zhang Yue came back from Daxuan Mansion this time, and naturally went there much faster than the last time he escorted the baggage. However, due to the siege of the city in the ice and snow for more than ten days, now that a string has been loosened, he felt a little feverish not long after the carriage left, and he was still drowsy after taking the pills he brought with him. Lian Sheng and Lian Hu, who accompanied the car, saw that the situation was not good, and they were more nervous than when they were defending the city, so they hurriedly went to ask Haishou who was traveling with them, so they saw the doctor after a night of delay in Wanquan, and served Zhang Yue to take a hot bath, and only went on the road again the next morning.
Because Zhang Yue rarely gets sick on weekdays, the brothers of the Lian family have no chance to serve the sick at all, so they can only twist the towel over and over again in the car, and they have to worry about the foot stove and hand stove in the car to ventilate. It wasn't until Xuanfu City was in sight that Lian Shengfang breathed a sigh of relief, and then gently pushed Zhang Yue: "Young Master, are you better?" The Xuanfu is already here, so don't rush to see those adults after entering the city. ”
"At most, it's infected with the wind and cold, and you can't even see people anywhere!"
After falling asleep all the way, Zhang Yue felt that people were more energetic, so he half sat up, and ordered: "Go back and cook a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup while it's hot, cover the quilt and sweat." That is, I was too nervous a few days ago, but now all the attacks have come out, and they are not in the way. Remember, don't look back and tell people that I'm sick, and there's no reason to worry about this little thing. After seeing people, I waited until dawn when I went back to the place and slept until dawn! ”
"Don't say that the young master you have suffered so much danger in Xinghe, it is like the water and yellow mud soup that were washed down in Wanquan last night, if the family knows, the young grandmother will not say it, and the wife will definitely be angry at that time! How dare the younger and eldest brother go back and say that you have ever been sick? ”
Lian Hu smiled bitterly and found the brocade robe from the side, Zhang Luo put Zhang Yue on his body, and hurriedly combed his hair and knotted his hair and wore a black gauze hat, and finally couldn't help but complain again, "It would be nice if I could take a girl like last time I went to Jiangnan, whether it is Sister Lingxi or any other sister, it is better than us to serve each other!" ”
"Shut up for me, this is official business, not an outing!"
angrily scolded the two brothers of Huobao, Zhang Yue didn't pay attention to them anymore, thinking that it was fortunate that he stayed in Wanquan all night last night, otherwise his unkempt face would simply not be able to go out to meet people. After tidying up the hem of the robe, he couldn't help but look at the brocade robe with a large pattern for a moment. I have to say that the emperor has never been stingy in rewarding things, and he is very stingy in the name of substance, and the title of governor is already rare this time.
Due to Meng Jun's official duties, he had to make Yue Jiayuan stay in Xinghe temporarily under the command of the left guard of Xuanfu, so this line was Zhou Bailing's remaining Beijing camp guards to escort Zhang Yue and Haishou back, while the other wounded were sent to Wanquan when the weather warmed up. At this time, the group had just arrived at the north gate of Xuanfu, and someone who had been waiting here for a long time greeted them. Compared with several officers in the general army yamen, Lu Feng's unicorn suit was extremely eye-catching, as if he was showing off to everyone that I was the governor of Dongchang and I was the confidant of the Son of Heaven.
Hai Shou saw Lu Feng, who was bright, and he felt very uncomfortable, plus he was only responsible for sending Zhang Yue to Xuanfu, so he was not even interested in going into the city to stay for a while at this time, so he simply said hello and rushed back to Beijing with his entourage. Without this eyesore, Lu Feng naturally saved himself from avoiding suspicion, and even his eyes narrowed when he smiled.
"Hearing that you came back safely, our family got up early in the morning and waited for you for an hour in this windy land. Knowing that Wu'anhou had other arrangements around noon, our family also chartered a good place at night to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, and by the way, suppress the shock. Naturally, there are a few more important words to say to you! ”
This is all nonsense, and the last sentence is the most important, so Zhang Yue didn't hesitate and readily agreed. Ever since he learned from the captives that there were tens of thousands of stones of grain in Xinghe Fort, he had a big pimple in his heart, and as time went by, this pimple turned into an evil fire that kept running upward.
Xinghe's matter is over for the time being, if it is not counted as a general account, don't say that he is sorry for himself, and he is sorry for those soldiers who died! Moreover, there is no connection between Wang Zhao's death and being splashed with dirty water, and he doesn't believe it even if he dies!
Due to the appointment of the new officials, coupled with the fact that the ranks are above Zhang Yue, Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng naturally did not pretentiously go to the city gate to pick up people in person, but when he learned that the people had arrived, he went to the second gate of the General Military Mansion to greet them. The two families were originally next door, and he used to be the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, and Zhang Yue was common in the court, and it was common to go out, but it could be said that he couldn't be more familiar. When Zhang Yue bowed, he immediately helped him up.
"I won't say much about the side, since the emperor asked you to supervise the military affairs of Xuanfu, I will give you two days to rest. Two days later, the Xuanfu Church had to read the three towns of Xuanfu, Wanquan Left and Right Guards, Huailai Guards, and Huai'an Guards, about 70,000 people, all day long. After that, there are grain reserves, armaments, tuntian, and so on, all of which are related to military affairs, and I am afraid that you will have to be busy. ”
Lu Feng couldn't interject beside him, and after a little thought, he smiled and found an excuse to leave first, and didn't forget to glance at Zhang Yue when he left. As soon as he left, Zheng Heng had no scruples, so he took up the style of an elder: "It's already good to be able to have a performance like you on the battlefield for the first time, if you hadn't stumbled Arutai, I'm afraid Warat wouldn't have sent envoys over, and bad things wouldn't have turned into good things." Seeing that your face is not good, it is about the cold, you will drink a bowl of ginger soup later, I asked the cook to make some stomach-warming home-cooked dishes at noon, and I have something else to tell you! ”
Lunch was placed in the small flower hall of the General Soldier's Mansion. Zhang Yue, who drank a bowl of ginger soup, was already much more tired, and he also had an excellent appetite for the big bowl of home-cooked food made by the cook. When the cups and plates were in a mess, Zheng Heng suddenly said: "Since you are the governor of Xuanfu, I have to talk to you about some things." Someone told the whistleblower in front of him, saying that the crown secretly sent the military information of the Xuanfu to the East Palace. ”
