Chapter 141: The Hidden Edge

Although Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang canonized nearly 100 meritorious families, he then used the Hu Weiyong case and the Lanyu case to kill the heroes in a large manner, so the founding heroes have long been one in ten during the Yongle period, and the limelight has been given to the Jingnan heroes who followed Zhu Di to start a family.

After the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di ascended the throne, he punished the ten clans of filial piety and filial piety, and also killed a group of civil officials who were unwilling to submit, but it was really preferential to those military generals who had great military achievements. Nowadays, the high-ranking officials in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are all concurrently served by the princes and uncles, and generals with outstanding martial arts like Zhang Fu served as the chief military officer during the southern expedition to the north, and were honored in the capital in their spare time, and more generals were out of the town.

Compared with the former Baoding Hou Mengshan Town Liaodong, Anyuan Hou Liusheng Town Ningxia, Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng Beixuan Mansion and so on, Zhang Fu's four expeditions to Jiaozhi are brilliant, but because Yongle Emperor Zhu Di Nian Jiaozhi hangs far in the southwest, he is unwilling to use a confidant general like Zhang Fu to go out of the town, so although Zhang Fu did not serve in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, his honor and favor are still better than those of the Governors. Now that he has recovered from his illness, he is often specially called into the palace to stay, although he is not responsible for anything, but he is better than anything, and he only returns home at dusk on this day.

Although Gu and the others still live in the British Mansion, it is naturally impossible for these many people to eat together every day, but they use their own families, and after dinner, they gather in Gu's room to talk together. Zhang Fu also has to come every night, Gu has mentioned it several times on the grounds that he is busy, but Zhang Fu always smiled and said that it was filial piety to the aunt, and others sighed in their hearts after watching it.

After serving the Gu family to sleep in the evening, everyone came out of the house. Zhang Yue saw his mother Sun greeting him, and saw Zhang Fu talking to his father Zhang Zhuo, he took a deep breath, stepped forward and was about to find a reason to speak, but saw Zhang Fu suddenly turn his head.

"Brother and sister, please go back first, I have something to say to Brother Yue. Now let him go to the study with me, and I'll have someone take him back when I'm young. ”

Zhang Fu said so. Zhang Zuo and Sun have nothing to say. And Dongfang and Feng looked at Zhang Yue's back as he followed Zhang Fu, but there was also some jealousy in their envious eyes. Thinking that Zhang Yue was taking care of Zhang Yue when he was seriously ill, they felt a little more comfortable, but they still couldn't help but sigh at Zhang Yue's good luck. After all, there are more British public caretakers in his career, and it goes without saying that he will be prosperous in the future.

Mrs. Wang never cared about outside affairs, Zhang Fu took Zhang Yue to the study, and she said goodbye to everyone and went back to her upper room. And they all went to their houses. Lingxi, who was sent to the door, saw that the people were gradually leaving, so he turned around and opened the curtain and entered the house. Coming to the inner room with the candlestick, she gently lifted the smoke tent, and saw that Gu Shi was still awake and had not yet gone to bed, so she took the candlestick and put it on the red stool with begonia-style carved lacquer next to it, and bent down one leg to kneel on the edge of the bed, and helped Gu Shi to sit up.

"Old lady, the third young master followed the British Duke to the study to discuss things. Everyone else scattered. ”

Gu is old, he has never been used to going to bed early, and he sleeps lightly in the middle of the night, and it is extremely easy to wake up. At this time, Lingxi put the pillow behind her waist for herself, and she pondered for a moment before asking, "What did the British Duke say?" ”

"The British duke never said it explicitly. only said that he had something to say, and said that he would let the third young master go back later. ”

The Gu family is old, and Zhang Fu respects herself like her own son, although she is relieved in her heart. But he knew that this was just the love he had for taking care of the three of them back then, and he didn't want to ask for anything for his children and grandchildren with this little credit. After all, Zhang Funeng has already helped too much, even if it is a little industry in the capital, it is enough for their family to eat, drink and chew for a lifetime.

In this way, among the juniors, he does treat Brother Yue the most differently. Alas, the British public house is also really eventful. His mother had gone early, and his father had died in battle, the youngest of the three brothers was no more than twelve years old. He worked hard on the battlefield for his younger brothers and sisters at the head of the family, but the prestige of the Zhang family did not fall, but his younger brother did not take care of it. Knowing this, I should have stayed for more time in the first place, so that Zhang Hui and Zhang Xuan would not have become what they are now. ”

"That's what the old lady said."

Lingxi nodded in response and spoke again. After being placed, Gu fell asleep again. She carefully folded the quilt and was about to put down the smoke tent. The wrist suddenly ate Gu Shi and clamped it firmly. In her heart, she couldn't help but look down, but saw that Gu's eyes were staring at her, and hurriedly asked, "What else does the old lady command?" ”

"If Brother Yue can really get into the Jinshi this time, you will follow him when the time comes."

Gu's tone was unusually calm, but his eyes looked carefully at the henchman who had followed him for some years: "A few years ago, someone outside asked me for you, and the eyes said that they were begging you to be a concubine, and those who had eyes said that they were marrying you to be a step-room, and I was reluctant to let go at that time, after all, I couldn't help you by my side." Now that I'm getting older, and my body is not as good as before, I have to find a proper place for you. Brother Yue'er's two girls are good, but they can't compare to you after all. Looking at the current appearance of the British duke, whether the Zhang family can continue to prosper in the future is at least inseparable from him. Brother Zhen is so young, he also needs a reminder from his brother. ”

Lingxi's face turned white at this time, and it took a long time before he let out a voice: "Old lady......"

"I've been watching you carefully all these years, whether it's the master or the young master, you treat each other politely, and you have never been selfish, let alone with the little guys outside, I don't think your vision can be seen. You said that you will be a sister-in-law after serving me for the rest of your life, and I don't want you to be so decisive. Lingxi, I won't be wrong, although you are older, for the sake of you being with me for so many years, he will never treat you badly, and you will always have someone to rely on for the rest of your life. ”

Although this was said suddenly, Lingxi quickly calmed down after the extreme shock. Facing the irresistible vigor in her hand, and facing Gu's unquestionable eyes, she sighed softly in her heart, and finally took a deep breath, and said without hesitation: "The old lady treats the slave and the maid well, and the slave and maid all remember, if you let me serve the third young master, the slave and the maid will never say anything, but if you let the slave and maid ...... If the third young master was like that, I was afraid that Autumn Scar Amber would have taken over the house a long time ago. ”

Zhang Yue followed Zhang Fu on the sandwich road, seeing that the mother-in-law with the lantern in front of him was getting farther and farther away, and the girl who followed the ground behind him was also far away, he knew that this was not the place to speak, so he pondered in his heart the words of the county lord Chen Liu. The little county lord has a hearty temper, and since he said this, it must not be groundless. The message should be reliable. However, Zhang Fu has always been the most calm and cautious person, although Du Zhen is not an ordinary outsider, but some things can be done big or small.

After going out of the second door, the girls stopped each other and replaced a few small girls to greet them. It was easy to get to the study, and as soon as Zhang Yue followed Zhang Fu in, the door was tightly closed by the little guy outside. Until this time. Zhang Yue realized that it was Zhang Fu who found him to have something to say tonight, not that he was thinking about how to talk to Zhang Fu about Du Zhen.

Zhang Fu sat on the Taishi chair behind the desk, and immediately nodded at Zhang Yue to signal him to sit down, and said straight to the point: "I entered the palace to see the emperor today, but when I came out, I bumped into the emperor's grandson, and I learned a news. Your teacher, Du Yishan, was the political envoy of Shandong before, I think you should know. Although this is an appointment by the emperor, it is so. However, it was King Zhao who mentioned to the emperor that the chaos in Shandong was frequent and that he needed to use capable ministers. ”

Hearing about such an inside story, Zhang Yue almost jumped up from his chair in shock. It was easy to suppress the impulse in his heart, and he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Hall, I also heard that Shandong is not peaceful now. There seems to be more banditry. Among them, there is not only the duty of prosecuting and prosecuting thieves, but also directing the envoys to appease the peace of the party, if they simply set up the political envoys, I am afraid that no matter how capable they are, they may not be able to reverse the situation in Shandong. ”

"So you know that, too." Zhang Fu sighed deeply. The already deep brows were even tighter, "The affairs of the heavenly family are self-determined, and it has always been beneficial and harmless for those who are courtiers to participate in them. At that time, Qiu Funai was the first person on the list of meritorious heroes, and the Northern Expedition was defeated and the family was defeated, which was also due to the fact that he had arbitrarily discussed the establishment of the prince in the past. As for Xie Jin, not to mention, he is just a civil official, but he is clever enough to attract the disaster of killing. Although I have a friendship with the King of Han, I have also had a lot of correspondence in the past. But some bottom lines have never been crossed, and Rao is so, and he almost hurt your uncle. ”

Zhang Yue knew that he should listen more and talk less at this time, so he didn't open his mouth, and just listened quietly there. Sure enough, Zhang Fu immediately talked about the deep meaning of King Zhao's move.

"King Zhao used to be in the East Palace, but his writing was not as good as the prince, and his martial arts were not as good as the King of Han. and many lawlessness. That's why I haven't been in the eyes of the emperor all the time. Only now that the King of Han is far away in Shandong, there is almost no longer the possibility of seizing the heir. The crown prince is in Nanjing again, he is alone by the emperor's side, and he has changed a lot more than in the past, and the emperor sees him all the time, so it is no wonder that he has a different mind. Du Yishan went to Shandong, if the king of Han was suppressed, the emperor might not be happy; If he does not suppress the king of Han, the king of Han will be violent, and if he provokes a civil uprising, he will be even more in danger; In addition, Shandong is close to Beijing, and if he is the first to bear the brunt of the conscription, it will be really difficult for him to be a political envoy. ”

If Zhang Yue was just worried, then that worry turned into panic at this moment. Vaguely, he only felt that there was a name in his mind that wanted to jump out, but the aura was covered by countless threads, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Although Du Yishan is not a party or a group, he is quite famous among the civil officials in the capital, and everyone knows that he is your teacher. Now it seems that although I am not a good person, I have been calculated. Zhang Fu stood up and paced two steps at this time, then turned around and said, "Shandong Dusi Du commanded Wei Qing to fight under me, although the civilian officials can't transfer generals, but I have asked him to take care of one or two, I think it will always have some effect, but it is difficult to say how." In addition......"

"There is no doubt that you are on the list of tributes, and the level of the palace test is easier for you, so it is a foregone conclusion that you are in the middle of the current Kede. The safest way is naturally the Hanlin Academy, but this noble way is suitable for other civil officials, but it may not be suitable for you, after all, you are my nephew. You think about it yourself, and if you want to be released as a magistrate, you can do it. With me in the capital, even if you only have an inch of skill, others don't want to erase it! ”

It was the first time for Zhang Yue to see Zhang Fu showing such a confident momentum, and he was surprised that he realized that even if he was low-key on weekdays, this was the British Gong Zhang Fu who drove the first military minister today, and was 3,000 stone old!
