Chapter 829: To add insult to injury, the branches are luxuriant
Coming out of Renshou Palace, Yang Pu was still as silent as ever, and after making concessions with a few colleagues, he returned to Wenyuan Pavilion first. Ningyang Hou Chen Mao saw that Yang Shiqi was dragging behind and commanding Zhang Yue, so he simply slowed down his pace, and waited until Yang Shiqi also returned to Wenyuan Pavilion from the other end of the Wenhua Palace, and then he stopped and waited for Zhang Yue to come up.
"What the hell is going on today? What did you mean by those words? ”
Chen Mao joined the army as a young man, either outside the town or on the expedition, or Yongle was transferred back in the last years, and has been guarding the capital for several years, and now he has obtained the letter that he will go out of Gansu as soon as the emperor returns. Therefore, what he hates the most is that people speak obscurely, as soon as Zhang Yue opened his mouth, Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Shiqi Yang Pu understood in their hearts, but he was still confused, so he asked bluntly at this time.
"Master Hou, today's assassination seems to be a big deal, but I'm afraid it's more just because I have a whim, others are afraid that I will break a big thing, since I can't kill me, they will kill Shang Yong. I suspect that someone took advantage of the slack of this martial arts election every year to get people into Jingwei, I am afraid that they have other intentions. ”
The vague hint that Chen Mao didn't understand it for a while, but this clear indication was naturally impossible for him not to understand. Impostor, like empty salary, has always been one of the shortcomings in the army, and he has not taken advantage of it when he is away, so he can't help but feel a little weak when he hears this. Seeing that Zhang Yue hadn't noticed, he threw away this concern, and frowned and pondered to himself.
The emperor led his troops to patrol the border, and if it was just a simple military election fraud case, it would be fine. But if it is as Zhang Yue said, someone has impersonated people to join the army, and it has been like this for several years...... It's a matter of speculation!
"Cheng Guogong went to Beijing, so just now the Queen Mother summoned him, he couldn't come back for a while, so he didn't go to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army to find someone. I'll go to Jingying myself now! Chen Mao was in a hurry, so he patted Zhang Yue's arm heavily, and said in a deep voice, "If there is a list of clues or something like that, you might as well send it immediately, and I will let people screen it as soon as possible!" ”
As soon as Ningyang Hou Chen Mao left, Cao Jixiang, who had been watching from afar, walked up quickly to lead the way. While sending Zhang Yue to Donghua Gate, he cautiously inquired about the news, listening to Zhang Yue just casually perfunctory and did not show his mouth, he was unconsciously a little disappointed, but his face was not revealed at all, and when he sent people to Donghua Gate and got on the horse, he returned to the palace.
This time, Wang Jin drove with him, but he couldn't follow, he was extremely disappointed, and he could only comfort himself and say that he could stay and be Wang Jin's eyes and ears. However, just now the Renshou Palace was discussed, and all the idle people retreated, and the only people who served the queen mother were the eunuchs Fan Hong and Jin Ying, how dare he ask them to inquire? He heard what happened to the primary school in the western suburbs today, but if he only reported it to Wang Jin, then what was the use of him keeping it? I just hate that he is in a humble position now, and it is difficult to find someone to discuss!
Cao Jixiang was thinking about how to report the news, and Zhang Yue was also thinking about how to deal with today's incident. When he rushed back to the yamen of the military department, he learned that Dongchang had sent someone to invite, and Peng Shisan had already gone alone, and then looked at the panicked faces of the soap scribes who first entered the compound, he knew that the news had spread, so he nodded to Zhang Bu and a few other entourages who had come out of the side of the upside-down room, and asked them to send Fang Jing home first, and then come back when the yamen was dispersed, and then took Hu Qi and walked straight inside.
When I arrived at the Wuxuan Division's room in the second gate, the Wuxuan Division's firewood car, who had already gotten the news, had already come out. He was born as a lifter, and if he was an outlier in the later generations where Jinshi was the right path, but now that there are ministers such as Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi who have not even experienced the imperial examination, there is nothing unusual about him as a lang. Only he Yongle has been out of office since the second year of Yongle, but he is still a positive five-grade after all these years, and now he is nearly fifty years old, and his hair is a little gray.
At this moment, after he saluted Zhang Yue with a complicated face, he waited until he entered the room and invited Zhang Yue to take a seat, and he suddenly waved again without saying a word. Fortunately, Zhang Yue was on guard and hurriedly reached out to support it.
"It's all the subordinates who have no way to control them, and this is why such a big thing happened, if it weren't for the adults to go in person, I'm afraid that over time, the younger generation of officers would have been so corrupted. Zhou Ping'an's own crime is unforgivable, but the lower officials are also deeply responsible. ”
Zhang Yue was originally promoted from the arsenal division to the staff of the military department, and the chai car was already the military selection division, and now many years have passed, the chai car is still the langzhong, although the two have a tacit understanding in official affairs, the personal relationship is general. Only Zhang Yue has always known this Geng Jie's temperament, and he is even more impressed by his ups and downs, and he will not think that this is a pretentious gesture at this time. After picking the man up, he pondered for a moment, and then he settled down.
"Since Hong Xi Xuande, there has never been such a thing in the imperial court, you were only transferred back a year ago, and it is not unacceptable to say that you don't know, but I know that you will never shirk responsibility, so I won't mention it. Only the military election division is important, and now if all three of them are vacant all of a sudden, the year-end evaluation and general election will inevitably be abolished, so it is better to wait until the emperor comes back. If you have someone to recommend, you might as well say so. The three officials of the Wuxuan Division must be the ministry at that time, and I can also discuss with Zhang Shangshu as soon as possible, and I can also avoid being caught off guard at that time. ”
Chai Che originally thought that Zhang Yue would say something futile and comforting, at first he just lowered his head with a pale face and pondered, but after listening to it, he gradually raised his head, and at the end he couldn't help but look straight, and he actually stood up all of a sudden.
"Thank you for your reminder, and thank you for your trust."
The pot had already exploded outside, and Zhang Yue no longer concealed it, and explained the situation this morning to the firewood car 1510, and left the Wuxuan Division's room. After only a few steps, the three doors and a soap subordinate ran over in a smoke.
"My lord, my lord is not good, Feng Shilang fainted all of a sudden!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yue immediately frowned, and immediately stepped up. When he got to the wing room over there, he saw several people working around Feng Shilang for a while, and finally let the old man who was over half a hundred years old wake up. It's just that Feng Shilang, who has been waking up slowly, has already spoken vaguely, and he hasn't been able to say a word clearly for a long time. Faced with this situation, Zhang Yue was naturally startled and hurriedly ordered someone to ask for a doctor. When the doctor came, he didn't sit in his room for long, but he had to report that Feng Shilang should have had a stroke, so he sighed and ordered a few soap officials to prepare the carriage and send him home, and ordered someone to report to Wenyuan Pavilion. After doing all this, he pressed his temples hard, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Now, how many people are still able to work in the military department?
The next thing was a lot of work, until it was almost dark, Zhang Yuefang left the yamen of the military department, and the firewood car in Wuxuan Shilang was on duty. He just left the military department, and saw that in addition to Zhang Buniu and other four people who went out with him all the way, there were also a few strong and strong families, and even Peng Shisan, who went to the East Factory, also came, and was stunned for a moment.
"When the third lady saw Xiao Fang's situation, and heard that there was an assassin or something, she was so frightened that her soul was gone, and the third master and the young grandmother couldn't resist it, so they added these people. As for me...... I went back to the British Mansion from Dongchang, and the lord and lady also knew about it, so I watched more these days. Peng Shisan stepped forward and spread his hands helplessly, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid you won't have to stop when you go back at night, young master, there are already many people in the family who have come, and the porter has received a lot of gifts, and even the second young master and the fourth young master have come to the house to wait." ”
The alarm on the official's face was so great, and so was the family, Zhang Yue could only smile bitterly at this time. Sure enough, after getting on the horse, he went all the way to the mouth of Wu'anhou Hutong, and he saw that there seemed to be two bright lights in the distance, and further on, one of the bright lights suddenly flashed away. When he arrived at the door, he found that this was a porter standing outside with a lantern, and when he saw him, he stomped his feet first, and then trotted up to lead the horse and hold the stirrup. And as soon as he stepped on the dismount stone and jumped off the horse, Gao Quan had already hurried out with several people at the door.
"It's too big!"
"Young master, what are you talking about, after they go home to report the news, don't talk about the old lady and them, even the people below are so frightened that they are gone, so they are worried that something will happen to you. In the afternoon, my wife called the little one to the second door, saying that you are the first big tree in the family, and you can't be too careful. If I hadn't brought enough people with me this time, I'm afraid I would have really suffered. The court only said that it was not allowed to use the guard of honor without permission, let's talk to a few more people, and we don't need to sound the gong to open the way, others can't even pick on this......"
Gao Quan is now old, and the others are fine, but his mouth is broken, so Zhang Yue knows that he is concerned, so naturally he can't say anything, just coughed lightly and changed the topic and asked, "How is Xiao Fang now?" ”
"Fang Gongzi is fine, his wife is not at ease, and let the doctor who is proficient in internal and external injuries come to take a look, saying that it is quite measured, just don't be too frightened. But Fang Gongzi only lay down for an hour and then got up, and comforted the old lady for a while, if it weren't for him, the wife would probably have to take the car directly to the yamen to wait. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yue didn't say anything more, but stepped up his steps. He has experienced countless big and small things since he came out, and today's experience is not even thrilling, but in the past, his mother Sun was often not around, and there was no way to care about it from a distance, and now this kind of thing is happening under her nose, she naturally can't wait to put on her wings and fly over. When he arrived at the second gate, he asked Gao Quan to go to rest earlier, and when he saw that his face was still full of reluctance, he put on a straight face.
"It's already so late, you're old and used to going to bed early and getting up early, just leave the matter to the younger ones. I don't go out, what's not to worry about? He said that I was the big tree in the family, and now he doesn't even listen to me? ”
Gao Quan had no choice but to respond. But Zhang Yue walked a few steps inside, but he heard him instructing the two stewards in the courtyard outside to be careful with the candle access control, etc., and he thought that he would not leave until he finished those words, so he couldn't help but shake his head. Because it gets dark early in the autumn night, the yard is already pitch black, and only the lights in the hands of the two mothers-in-law in front of them illuminate the road, so they can barely see their feet clearly.
As soon as his parents entered the courtyard, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he only heard a shouting at the door of the upper room, and then there was a noise inside, and in a short time, the door was full of light. Under the light of several lanterns, I saw that the curtain in front of the door was raised high, and many people came out together. He hurriedly stepped forward in two steps, and saw Du Juan holding his mother Sun's hand, his father Zhang Zhuo was supporting Zhang Fu, and on the side was Zhang Qi, Zhang Zhen, Zhang Jingjing, and the shadow was also there.
Seeing this big family, Zhang Yue didn't know that even if Zhang Bu and others were asked to come back to report the news, today's matter must have changed with false rumors. Sure enough, as soon as he stepped forward, Sun nervously came down and grabbed his hand.
"Nothing really hurt?"
"Mother, there is only one assassin in the total, and I was captured alive, where am I so unlucky, I haven't even broken my skin."
Seeing that Sun didn't believe it, he pulled him into the house, checked up and down several times, and personally held the lamp, Zhang Yue was helpless and moved. When Sun took a long breath of relief and put his mind at ease, others had the opportunity to come forward and ask for warmth, but since they saw that he didn't have anything, they just asked a few words, and there was no tension like Sun's. When he was only next to Du Juan and a few of them, he quietly pressed them on their hands.
"Your mother is like this, I, the same person, has become an old lady in the eyes of outsiders, and she is the one who wants to be called Mrs. Tai, but she still can't hide her thoughts. Fortunately, our family is shrewd to watch, otherwise she might not have suffered a big loss with her temperament. ”
Zhang Zhuo joked so much, seeing that Sun's eyes were glaring and about to speak, he hurriedly coughed dryly and stopped not mentioning it: "Yue'er, after the news spread today, from the afternoon to before you come back, the relatives at home did not mention it, and there were many other people who came to the door." Some say it's your same year, some are the same as us, and some say it's a former subordinate of the British duke...... All in all, it's all people. Your second brother hurried over, also because many people in Jingwei were drumming in their hearts, and they were afraid that they would be angry and exhausted. ”
When it came to business, Sun suddenly couldn't lift his spirits, so he simply stood up and beckoned to his daughters and younger children. Du Juan pulled Zhang Jing by herself, and Sun Shi hurriedly gestured at her, but she shook her head, only patted Jingguan, and motioned for him to stay. After a while, there were only a few Zhang family's own people left in the house, Fang Jing thought that this was a family matter, and was about to leave, but he saw Zhang Yue's eyes, so he had to stay.
"Ever since I got the news, I've been annoyed to death!" Zhang Qi couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scene in front of him, and then shook his head vigorously, trying to drive those pictures out of his mind, "I evaluate riding and archery martial arts and so on every year, but it's hard for others to say...... Third brother, you will go to see the Queen Mother when you come back, what do you say? ”
