Chapter 441: The Border Army Enters Beijing

It's rare to have time to accompany his family once, but he saw Wu Shan probing his brain outside the restaurant, Zhou Chong had the heart to ignore him, but Wu Shan, who is usually very clever, seemed very blind at this time, and still waited outside and refused to leave, which made Zhou Da very annoyed, but at this time, Jinxuan also found Wu Shan outside, and looked at the angry Xianggong again, smiled helplessly at the moment, and then whispered to Zhou Chong: "If the husband has something to do, go there, there is a concubine here!" ”

Zhou Chong also knew that since Wu Shan dared to come to disturb his family when he was eating, there must be something very important, and he could only say to Jinxuan with an apologetic face at the moment: "I wanted to accompany you well, but I didn't expect to be interrupted by these mundane things, I am really incompetent as a husband and father." ”

"Hehe, my husband is now in a high position, naturally he is entangled in government affairs, it is very rare to be able to take time out of his busy schedule to accompany us for a while, Sister Jinxuan and I will not blame you, as for Xia Xia, she is now only focused on eating, and she will not pay attention to you until she is full!" At this time, Lingyun also said with a smile.

Hearing Lingyun's words, Zhou Chong looked at his daughter's appearance that looked like he was eating when he was a child, and smiled silently at the moment, and glanced at Jinxuan and Lingyun, and then left the restaurant gently, and Wu Shan, who was outside, had been waiting for a long time, and now when he saw Zhou Chong coming out, he hurriedly said: "My lord, the court is ...... over there"

"Okay, come with me to the study to talk, in the future, when I accompany my family to dinner, even if the sky falls, I can't break in again!" Before Wu Shan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Zhong softly.

Although Zhou Chong's voice was not heavy, Wu Shan was taken aback. After all, he has been by Zhou Chong's side for so long. Naturally, I know the temper of this governor. Zhilu Dao must be very angry now, but he also feels very aggrieved, if it is not a big matter, he will not dare to enter and exit the inner courtyard of the Governor's Mansion at will, let alone disturb the Governor's family to eat.

After coming to the study, Zhou Zhong sat down and took a sip of tea, and then said, "What happened to the imperial court that made you come to me in such a panic?" ”

"Your Excellency. It's really big this time! Hearing Zhou Chong's inquiry, Wu Shan didn't care about the grievances, and immediately told the news he had just received, and Zhou Chonggang was also shocked when he heard the name of a person related to this matter, no wonder Wu Shan came in such a hurry, it turned out that something really big happened.

It turned out that Wu Shan had just received news from the capital that Zhengde suddenly transferred an instructor named Jiang Bin in the military academy to his side some time ago, and as a result, Jiang Bin quickly became the most favored courtier around Zhengde, and the two stayed together all day. Zhengde was also obedient to Jiang Bin, and for a while, even Qian Ning couldn't compare with Jiang Bin.

Originally, Zhengde favored Jiang Bin and had nothing. After all, there were a lot of favored ministers around Zhengde, but this Jiang Bin didn't know what kind of madness Lu Dao had, and he boasted to Zhengde every day that the combat strength of the border army was unparalleled, far from being comparable to the Beijing camp, and as a result, Zhengde, who liked military affairs, was happy, and even wanted to transfer the border troops of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, and Yansui towns into Beijing, and it was useless to persuade Li Dongyang, a cabinet scholar, and others.

For Jiang Bin, a person who has affected the fate of Zhengde's life, Zhou Chong is naturally very familiar, after all, Zhengde's death is also inextricably linked with this person, and it is no exaggeration to say that if there is no Jiang Bin, the strong Zhengde will definitely not die in the prime of life, after all, an emperor like Zhengde who does not like government affairs, eats and drinks every day, has nothing to do, and likes to practice martial arts and strengthen his body, is definitely in line with the way of health preservation, and can live at least fifty or sixty years old.

It's a pity that it is precisely because of Jiang Bin's influence that Zhengde died in Nanjing at the age of thirty years old, and it is said in history that he fell into the water and died of illness, but with Zhengde's strong body, this guy is not to say that he fell into the water, even if he goes into the water in winter and swims in winter, there will be no problem, how can he die of illness because of a fall into the water, and when Zhengde died, only Jiang Bin and others were around, and even outsiders who died did not know when they died, there are simply too many doubts in this.

Originally, according to the original history, Jiang Bin should have gotten acquainted with Zhengde a few years ago, and then called for wind and rain in the capital, and forced Qian Ning to become Zhengde's first favorite minister, but because of Zhou Chong's influence, Jiang Bin lost the opportunity to enter Beijing, and Zhou Chong left Jiang Bin behind, thinking that the other party should not get acquainted with Zhengde as in history, but he didn't expect the inertia of history to be so great, and he had obviously introduced the history of the Ming Dynasty into a fork in the road, but he still couldn't stop Jiang Bin's rise after the end. Moreover, Zhengde is still like in history, transferring the four towns of the border army into the capital, so that Jiang Bin also has something to rely on, and his power is naturally superior.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but sigh, seeing that Wu Shan was still standing carefully in the study, he waved his hand to let him retreat, after all, such a big thing happened, he needed to be alone and quiet. Wu Shan also knew this habit of Zhou Dao, so he carefully exited the study and closed the door gently.

Zhou Zhong sat behind the desk, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the tabletop, which was his habitual action when thinking. Speaking of Jiang Bin is notorious in the history books, but after Zhou Chong crossed over, he found that the records in the history books of the Ming Dynasty could not be fully trusted, such as Jiao Fang, although this old man was very disgusted with southern officials, and he had also joined forces with Liu Jin, but generally speaking, he was still a person who worried about the country and the people, and he was also a capable official when he was an official, at least he could benefit one party, not at all as unbearable as the history books said, and even Zhengde was far from the records in the official history, so the description of Jiang Bin in the history books should not be counted.

However, although the record of Jiang Bin in the history books cannot be counted, at least one thing is not wrong, that is, after Jiang Bin gained power, he first fought with Qian Ning for power, and later took advantage of the opportunity of King Ning's rebellion to kill Qian Ning in one fell swoop, and even Zhang Yong, the famous Eight Tigers, was suppressed by Jiang Bin, making Jiang Bin the most trusted person in Zhengde.

Speaking of which, although Zhou Chong is Zhengde's brother, his identity has not been disclosed, on the surface, Zhou Chong is also Zhengde's favorite, so Zhou Chong is worried that Jiang Bin will be like Qian Ning, trying his best to squeeze him out in front of Zhengde, although he and Zhengde are brothers, but after all, he is far away from Jingshi, and Zhengde can't see him once in a few years, so that the relationship between the two is only maintained by the family affection of the bloodline, and after a long time, there will always be some indifference, plus Zhou Chong has wealth and people in his hands, It can be said that Daming is the most qualified person to rebel, in case Zhengde is moved by Jiang Bin's words, and he becomes suspicious of himself in the future, it will be troublesome.

In addition, in addition to worrying about his own safety, Zhou Chong is also worried about Zhengde, speaking of the fact that after he learned from Zhengde that he also has a younger brother who has a mother and a compatriot living in the world, the whole person has also changed a lot, for example, he used to think that he could not have children, so he didn't pay much attention to government affairs, anyway, this throne will fall into the hands of his uncle's cousins or nephews in the future, so for him, it doesn't matter whether Daming is good or bad.

But now it's different, Zhou Chong's appearance gave him infinite hope, after all, no matter how you say it, they are brothers, and the two are almost the same in blood, so that Zhou Chong's son is actually no different from his son. It is precisely because of Zhou Chong that Zhengde feels that he has an heir to the throne, and in the future, he will inherit a child from his own brother to be the prince, in case he dies early, it is a big deal to pass the throne to Zhou Chong.

It is precisely because of this that Zhengde will change the previous absurdity, and slowly begin to pay attention to the government, such as the promotion of sweet potatoes and corn, the promotion of two high-yield crops, the support for Zhouzhong's overseas layout, and the opening of military schools, etc., these are Zhengde's efforts to change the status quo of the Ming Dynasty.

However, although Zhengde is slowly changing, but from the perspective of personality, he is still a person who lacks self-control, usually still likes to have fun, can not withstand any temptation, and Zhengde is very emotional, it is easy to be swayed by the people close to him, and it is precisely because of Zhengde's character that once the favored ministers around him gain power, it is easy to become the powerful minister who controls the government.

Now Jiang Bin has become the closest courtier to Zhengde, according to the news obtained by Wu Shan, now Zhengde and Jiang Bin often go in and out together, both of them are wearing the same armor, ordinary people see them, they can't tell which is the emperor and which is Jiang Bin. In addition, in order to cater to Zhengde, Jiang Bin secretly looted a lot of beauties and sent them to the leopard room, which made Zhengde return to his original absurd appearance again.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong couldn't help but sigh, Zhengde had been slowly corrected, but unfortunately he met Jiang Bin, a bad friend, again, and as a result, all the roles he played before were now in vain, and if Jiang Bin was allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that the ridiculous Zhengde Emperor in history will appear again, and history will go to the original track.

In addition, Zhou Zhong is still worried about another thing, that is, Zhengde has now transferred the border troops of Xuanfu and other four towns into the capital, according to the time, the matter of Zhengde's departure from Xuanfu in history is about to happen, it is said that the reason for Zhengde's departure is because Jiang Bin told Zhengde that there are many beautiful women among the musicians in Xuanfu, and Zhengde ran over, so he met Liu Liangnu there, that is, Sister Li Feng in folklore, but I don't know what Sister Li Feng looks like. can become Zhengde's most favored woman?
