Chapter 460: Shousuke's Intention
"Because this book carries some small wishes on me, I hope it will change some of people's perceptions, if they are willing to change. ”
Zhang Ruoxuan is a smart girl with ice and snow, and nodded when she heard this: "Little sister understands, if people don't care about Xiaolongnu's cliff jumping, then the content behind it is okay not to write, on the contrary, if everyone strongly asks for a happy ending, it means that everyone accepts the love between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu." ”
Zhang smiled again and said: "That's probably what it means, although there are still many defenders criticizing this couple, but I think that the vast majority of people are still reasonable and compassionate, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu have suffered enough to be together, if everyone still doesn't want them to have a good result, it's too much to say, right?" ”
"In this way, your female readers will be happy, and those male readers will be disappointed!" As she spoke, Zhang Ruoxuan smiled lightly.
"There's no way, character determines fate, and some people are destined to be disappointed."
Zhang You sighed, what he said in his mouth was to live up, but what he thought in his heart was regret, such as Empress Dowager Li, and then Li Rongconcubine, and then thought, Zhang You, Zhang You, now even Li Yan has been committed to you, and there are still beautiful wives and concubines at home, you kid is still here thinking about the west, it's too dissatisfied, right?
"What are you brothers and sisters talking about?" Zhang Juzheng's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and soon the door opened, and he saw him being pushed in by Lei Xiao in a wheelchair, his mouth kept talking, and he continued with a smile: "I heard that you are back, I guess it is here Ruoxuan...... Everyone is a son who worships his father, and it's good for you to have to rush to see you for your father. ”
Zhang You was thick-skinned, knowing that Zhang Ju was joking, but he didn't explain, but Zhang Ruoxuan blushed a little, and said coquettishly: "Isn't that the first assistant of the cabinet here, my brother is returning to Beijing on this trip, and outsiders don't know about it, so it's naturally inconvenient to see him." ”
"Look at the relationship between these two brothers, I haven't said anything yet." Zhang Juzheng smiled and turned back to Lei Xiao and said, Lei Xiao smiled and said nothing, but he couldn't help but slander in private, don't you talk about Miss Ruoxuan? Among so many children, isn't your favorite one also Young Master Zicheng?
"Father, don't tease Ruoxuan, let's get down to business, I'm afraid that Zhang Puzhou will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, right?"
"It's not uncommon to be able to guess this, if you can guess his intention, your father will admire you!"
Zhang Juzheng's words successfully aroused the interest of Zhang Ruoxuan and Lei Xiao, and they looked at Zhang You at the same time.
Zhang You groaned slightly, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhang Juzheng inquiringly: "Could it be that it is for the position of the chief soldier of Jizhou?" ”
Zhang Ruoxuan suddenly realized: "Yes, Li Chengliang returned to Liaodong, and naturally someone needed to take over his post as the chief soldier of Jizhou...... Father, who does Shousuke-sama want? I guess if his intentions are really as my brother expected, he must be a candidate that you will definitely oppose," At this point, her eyes suddenly widened: "Isn't it Li Chengliang?" ”
Listening to the two brothers and sisters singing and harmonizing, Lei Xiao was full of emotion, he didn't blame the old man for hurting them, and this wisdom was not comparable to those sons and ladies who only knew how lackeys and cockfights with each other.
Zhang Juzheng didn't seem surprised, and said with his forehead: "You two guessed, although it is not hit, it is not far away, Jizhou and Liaodong are close to each other, located in the key points, it is impossible for the imperial court to let a person concurrently serve as the chief soldier of the two places, Zhang Siwei means that he wants to recommend Ma Gui, the chief soldier of Ningxia, to be the chief soldier of Jizhou." ”
"How could it be him?" Zhang You frowned.
Zhang Juzheng asked, "What, have you heard of this person?" ”
Not to mention that I have heard of "West Ma Dong Li", Dong Li refers to Li Chengliang, and West Ma is naturally Ma Gui. Zhang You is proficient in Ming history, of course, it is impossible not to know this person.
Ma Gui was born in the seventeenth year of Jiajing (1538), just over forty, just in the prime of life, is the son of Datong general Ma Lu, in the early years of Wanli served as the deputy chief soldier of Datong, and later moved to Ningxia as the chief soldier.
Of course, although he is also a general soldier, compared to Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, his reputation is not prominent, and it will not be until the nineteenth year of Wanli that he becomes the chief soldier of the reserve and resists the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and it is the time for him to shine.
Zhang You nodded heavily: "I've heard of it, he seems to be from Shanxi, right?" ”
"The right guard of Datong was originally the deputy chief soldier of Datong, and later Zhang Puzhou strongly recommended him, and I also felt that this person had some talent, so I agreed to let him be the chief soldier of Ningxia."
Jiubian, also known as Jiuzhen and Ming Dynasty Jiubian, is a series of nine important military towns established along the Great Wall defense line on the northern border during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty of China.
From the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, nine important border towns have been set up on the northern border defense line that stretches for thousands of miles, including Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town (also known as Shanxi Town or Sanguan Town), Yansui Town (also known as Yulin Town), Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town (also known as Shaanxi Town), and Gansu Town.
Ningxia Town is one of the nine sides, and its status is originally very important, but since the peace of Longqing, the king of Shunyi has been loyal to the Ming court, and there has been no war for many years, so in comparison, it is naturally not as important as Jizhou.
Zhang You understood Zhang Juzheng's subtext and said, "In other words, Ma Gui is actually Zhang Puzhou's cronies?" ”
"Well," Zhang Juzheng bowed slightly, and said: "Originally, Li Chengliang wanted Li Rusong to be the chief soldier of Jizhou, which of course was not in the interests of Zhang Siwei, so he came to me on purpose, hoping that I could talk to Your Majesty at a convenient time." ”
"You can't just help so much with white teeth, what is his quid pro quo?"
"Bao Yuan's life!"
"You promised?"
Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly: "Can I not agree?" Qi Jiguang was recommended by you, and protecting him is equivalent to protecting you. ”
Zhang You said: "Thank you father, in fact, I came to you today mainly because of Qi Shuai, you don't have to worry about his safety, I have my own good plan, if possible, I hope you can promote Qi Jimei to be transferred to Jizhou, in comparison, I prefer to believe him." Originally, he wanted Qi Jiguang to return to Liaodong, but looking at the situation in front of him, it was no longer possible, so he retreated and asked Qi Jiguang's younger brother, Qi Jimei, the general soldier of Yunnan, to come over.
"I won't tell you, I really thought about him, but now I think Ma Gui is not bad, the key is Zhang Puzhou's attitude, most of the people who impeach you and Yuan Jing now are his people, Yuan Jing's defeat this time, the government and the opposition are shaken, if you can't find Zhou Chen's handle, Yuan Jing's crime will be nailed, and he has to take precautions for his father...... Of course, if you really have a way to save Yuan Jing, you don't have to think about what your father promised Zhang Puzhou, let's join forces with father and son to try to transfer Qi Jimei to Jizhou. ”
Political promises are sometimes used to break the contract, Zhang You nodded, and the two suddenly fell silent, and after a long time, Zhang Juzheng spoke first: "By the way, when did you come back?" ”
"I entered Beijing last night, and I just came back from Beizhen Fusi not long ago."
"Have you seen Yuan Jing? What did he say? Zhang Juzheng asked, if Zhang You didn't go to see Qi Jiguang, he would be surprised.
Zhang You suddenly hesitated again, did he really want to tell Zhang Juzheng about the Jianzhou barbarians opening the city gate? Will he believe it?
