"In that case, the lower officials will show Master Zhang a clear way." Xie Hong bowed slightly, then changed his words and said something that seemed unrelated.

"Lord Zhang, the lower officials have been coming to Xuanfu City for some time, and I often hear and witness it, saying that there is a deduction of military salaries in the border army, I don't know if Lord Zhang knows about it?"

"How can there be ......" Zhang Jun subconsciously wanted to deny it, but as soon as the words came out, he suddenly remembered what happened to Jiang Bin last time, and at the same time, Xie Hong's gaze at him suddenly became extremely sharp, making Zhang Jun feel that he had been seen through and all the secrets in his heart were exposed.

Cold sweat trickled down from the corners of Zhang Jun's forehead, and he thought in his heart: Although the person opposite is a teenager, he is quite scheming, besides, after what happened last time, Hungry Tiger seems to have taken refuge in him, and he can't hide it. But what is his purpose? If you liquidate the greedy military salary, it seems that you can't just take Lao Tzu, right? Lao Tzu is not a big head.

Zhang Jun wiped his sweat and said with a weak heart: "The last general only leads the troops to fight, and the matter of military pay is not very clear, but the adults are aware of it, since it is said that there is such a thing, then it should be there." When the last general returns home, he will definitely ask the quartermaster to investigate the matter thoroughly and give an explanation to your lordship, and you will see ...... your lordship."

Xie Hong smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Lord Zhang's words are serious, the subordinate officials are neither supervising the imperial history, nor are they in office, this title of Jinyi Wei Qianhu is just a fictitious position, how can there be any power to thoroughly investigate the payment of military salaries?" ”

Xie Hong said politely, but Zhang Jun understood what he meant, if he didn't cooperate next, then Jin Yiwei would come again, it was not a joke.

"What the adult means......" The hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, and Zhang Jun decided to give in. Although he didn't take the big deal, if the other party really grabbed himself by thoroughly investigating the corruption of the military salary, it would not be a good situation.

"Actually, it's very simple, Your Majesty came to inspect the border pass, and there is already a rumor outside......" Xie Hong spoke slowly and carefully, but Zhang Jun was shocked again, he was a little bit of a bow and snake shadow by Xie Hong's teleportation, for fear that there would be another pit in his words, so he hurriedly defended: "My lord Mingjian, the last general has always been tight-lipped." ”

"Lord Zhang doesn't have to be nervous, Your Majesty inspects the border pass, of course, the border pass soldiers and civilians know, so as to boost morale." Xie Hong said confidently: "However, it is not enough to know that His Majesty is coming, it is only to inspire everyone in terms of spirit, the ancients said well: to grasp the two civilizations together, we must build a good spiritual and material ......"

Which ancient man said this? How does it sound like a vernacular? And listening to this meaning, it seems that the emperor does not need to keep this matter secret when he comes to Xuanfu? Minglu or something is really a lie, this is a dead end for pit people! Listening to Xie Hong's tirade, Zhang Jun was dizzy and completely disoriented.

Seeing that Zhang Jun's eyes were already a little confused, Xie Hong nodded with satisfaction, and then said sharply: "Your Majesty's military parade, what I hope to see is a mighty army with bright armor and high morale, not a group of unclothed and hungry people called Huazi!" Master Zhang, do you understand? ”

This is to buy the hearts of the military! A light flashed in Zhang Jun's mind, and he understood Xie Hong's purpose, but he was just buying the hearts of the army in the name of the emperor, what was the use? The whole world is not the king's land, and this army is the same, why do you spend all this effort? Zhang Jun nodded half-understandingly, half-confused.

"Lord Zhang is worthy of being the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and he really understands the righteousness." Xie Hong smiled and said: "Then this matter is decided, the military salaries and pensions in arrears for the eighteenth year of Hongzhi will be paid in full, of course, in the name of Your Majesty, and the lower officials will report back to Your Majesty accordingly." ”

Zhang Jun was shocked, it was not a small amount, even if he emptied his General Military Mansion, he couldn't make it up, but seeing that Xie Hong had moved out of Zhengde again, he didn't know how to refute it, could it be that he wanted to regret it? Needless to say, the other party will definitely buckle a bully's hat and come over.

"In addition, the lower officials also have some private matters to talk to Master Zhang." Xie Hong said again.

Personal? Zhang Jun was slightly stunned, could it be that?

Xie Hong said abruptly: "When Xiaguan first came to Xuanfu, the brothers who came with him had itchy hands for a while, and went to the Four Seas Gambling House...... Xia Guan heard that the Four Seas Gambling House is Lord Zhang......"

Sure enough, Zhang Jun's heart was dripping blood, but the other party had to bow his head again by relying on the emperor's momentum, and he said dejectedly: "Lord Xie doesn't need to say it, I am willing to gamble and lose, and the silver will naturally be given in full, but the military salary I just said...... The last general is really powerless. ”

"Huh?" Xie Hong looked surprised, "Lord Zhang, you misunderstood, the lower officials didn't want to ask Lord Zhang for silver, in addition, Lord Zhang petitioned for the soldiers, but he was not alone, in addition to tens of millions of soldiers, Your Majesty is also your strong backing." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Jun felt that his head really couldn't turn around, and the surname Suo didn't answer, so he looked at Xie Hong dumbfounded, looking at what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Xie Hong had a smile on his face, he was very amiable, and his tone was also very soft: "Lord Zhang, you don't have to take the matter of Brother Xiaguan to heart, if you had known that the Four Seas Gambling House was opened by an adult, Xiaguan would not let him mess around." Including the three thousand taels, the lower officials can do without it, but it's just ......"

Hearing Xie Hong say no, Zhang Jun's heart also fell to the ground, there was not much room for him to be promoted, and he was burdened with his previous defeats, and he might not be able to say when he would be deposed, so he paid more attention to money.

The 30,000 taels owed to Xie Hong are like cutting a piece of flesh on him, but he doesn't dare not give it, otherwise it may not just be a matter of dismissal, but a worry about his surname. Xie Hong said no, his heart fell, but Xie Hong took another turn, and his heart rose again.

“…… Xia Guan wanted to ask Master Zhang for some people...... I don't know what Lord Zhang thinks? ”

Zhang Jun was stunned, it's that simple? Jiang Bin's group left and left, they were not confidants, and they were also upset when they looked at that reckless man, as for Lin Bai and other craftsmen, it was even more worthless.

What can a gunpowder craftsman do? It's just a plaything, how can it be compared to 30,000 taels of silver? Except for this year, the little color of the Lantern Festival in previous years is not worth the material money, but it is just for fun. I think it was this young man who used this to please the emperor, so he thought of asking for some craftsmen, right?

It's simple, it's too simple, Zhang Jun didn't take these things to heart at all, he just felt that he had taken advantage of the boss.

Afraid that Xie Hong would regret it, Zhang Jun hurriedly responded: "Lord Xie is magnanimous, and the last general admires it, how dare you disobey your fate?" These things are easy to do, but the military pay is ...... It's not that the last general refuses to serve, it's really the adults in the yamen......" He was afraid that Xie Hong would confuse the two things, so he also raised his concerns.

"Lord Zhang, after you go back, Governor Zhang will inevitably look for you, and then you just have to say to Governor Zhang, if Governor Zhang refuses to cooperate, then Your Majesty will stay in Xuanfu to investigate the case until the investigation is revealed, and there is already a rumor outside this matter, hehe, Governor Zhang will definitely understand the holy will. As for the others......"

Xie Hong's tone turned cold, and he said with a hint of murder: "Who refuses to cooperate, Master Zhang just reports his name to Xiaguan, and naturally someone will ask him for tea and talk, you must know that Xiaguan likes to convince people with virtue the most." ”

Zhang Jun felt a pang in his heart, Xie Hong had already mentioned the rumor twice, but as the chief soldier, he didn't know anything before he received the summons, could it be that this rumor was released by this Lord Xie? Thinking of the rumors that had been spread in the army before, Zhang Jun was relieved.

In this way, Governor Zhang really can't help but cooperate.

If you don't cooperate, I'm afraid that this Lord Xie in front of you will really say that the emperor will stop moving, and then the world will be shaken. Although Zhang Jun is only a military attache and is not good at things in the court, he can also imagine what kind of public opinion will be circulated at that time.

"After inspecting the border pass, the holy driver returned to Beijing, but because the military salary of the border soldiers was greedy for labor, he had to stay in the border town and dangerous place, and at the same time, the Tartars outside the border wall were ready to move...... The lessons of civil engineering are not far away...... The ministers of the DPRK and China were all filled with righteous indignation...... The culprit is ......"

The cold sweat that Zhang Jungang stopped dripping down again, it was really to convince people with virtue! In this way, Zhang Nai will certainly become the scum of Shilin, and his career will be bleak in the future; And he can't escape the name of an accomplice, and he is dismissed from office, which is considered light.

I already knew that it was not so easy to pass, Zhang Jun sighed in his heart, he was still strange just now, this Lord Xie was interlocking every time he made a move, and then took advantage of it before he stopped, this time he actually changed his surname, and gave up the 30,000 taels that he could reach, and thought it was a teenager's surname.

After doing it for a long time, it turns out that there are still so many killer moves left behind. Although Zhang Jun still didn't understand Xie Hong's ultimate goal, he thought one thing clearly, Master Xie used a routine of both grace and power.

If you cooperate well and act according to what this adult says, you can still get some benefits, at least the 30,000 taels are saved, and there is a reward of 3,000 taels, but if you have to go against the grain...... That is, I can't find it myself.

And the so-called tea and heart-to-heart talk, Zhang Jun knows even more that he is not drinking tea and talking with Lord Xie? Then he was convinced by Lord Xie with virtue, there is the emperor behind Lord Xie, looking at the appearance of the fat eunuch, it is estimated that he can also move Jinyiwei, and there is still someone in this Xuanfu who can stop him?

Zhang Jun made up his mind in his heart, got up and hugged his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Then there's Lord Lao Zhang." Xie Hong didn't hold it up, got up and returned the salute.

Zhang Jun is the most critical step here, so he coercs and seduces everything, if Zhang Jun refuses to comply, the next steps will be completely unsuccessful, and now things are going as smoothly as he expected, Xie Hong is also full of spring breeze and very happy.
