"The prefect is also there? That's a coincidence~! ”

When Zheng Jianjun arrived at the Yamen of the Datong Governor with more than 100 personal guards, he happened to meet Wei Shugui, the prefect of Datong who was about to go out with a smile on his face, so he quickly turned over and dismounted and stopped him.

"Lord Wei, the movement in the city is a little unusual, it seems that the military horses of the imperial court have been abnormally moved. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What? Is there an abnormality in the imperial court's military horses? ”

Wei Shugui was stunned when he heard this, what's wrong? Aren't they giving up?

Zheng Jianjun saw that he seemed to be a little puzzled, so he hurriedly said, "Today, the governor has to report that there are Mongolian Tatars outside the Great Wall in the north, constantly invading, looting the property of our border people, and peeping at the fortress pass, it seems that there is an intention to invade on a large scale. ”

"The Xuanda Governor Yamen in the city, has there ever been anything unusual?"

Wei Shugui has been honed over the years, but when it comes to the end, he gives ideas to others, but he doesn't have any decisions, but fortunately, the Qin army has always put the orders of the garrison first, and he is a civil official, he only needs to analyze various news, and finally come up with ideas, no matter whether it is decided or implemented, he doesn't need to pay attention to it.

"I'm sending someone to investigate, but now there is only one battalion of soldiers and horses in the city, and I am afraid that I will be alone, so I have already transferred a cavalry brigade to be ready to enter the city at any time."

Zheng Jianjun always had an inexplicable panic in his heart, how could it be so coincidental, just now the third battalion was transferred to the north, and the cavalry brigade was also scattered everywhere for training, and suddenly the situation changed, and it seemed to be strange here.

"Don't be busy, I have recruited Zhang Tinggong Zhang for the King of Qin, if there is any change in the city, he will definitely notify us in time, no matter what changes are in the city, he must control the city gate in time, otherwise my army is outside, and I can enter the city in a moment to quell the rebellion, and I also ask Zheng Zongbing to quickly send troops to control the four gates and the main roads of the city, but the King of Qin has an order, not to touch the court officials, it is a little difficult to do."

Wei Shugui is also confused now, it is said that the army of the imperial court and the Mongol Tartars appeared in the northwest and north at the same time, which is not normal in itself, they appeared here, except for Datong Town, what else can they do?

However, Zheng Renbao, the governor of the Tiger Wing Army, who can call the shots, left the north of the city in the morning to patrol the border, and there was no one to make up his mind, if something really happened, they couldn't afford to take responsibility.

"Who says it's not, since Governor Zhang has already served the King of Qin, then I won't stay longer, I will garrison the yamen to command the armies, and ask the prefect to summon the yamen and other good people to be on guard."

Zheng Jianjun thought for a while, since Zhang Tinggong was already his own person, then he didn't mention it, he went in and asked rashly, but he was afraid that there would be no result, so he simply rushed back with his own soldiers, anyway, Wei Shugui already knew, even if this matter was settled.

It's a pity that what they don't know is that as soon as the soldiers entrenched in front of the mansion retreated, there were family members from the yamen of the governor of Xuanda who buckled the door, and carried Xiong Wencan's handwritten letter.

"Quick, I'm under the command of the Governor of Xuanda, and I have something urgent to find your governor."

Zhang Tinggong was sending Wei Shugui away, and promised to serve the King of Qin in secret, which would be thinking deeply, when suddenly a person broke in, holding a letter and half-kneeling in front of him,

"Your Excellency the Governor has written a letter himself, please take a look at it."

"Oh? I don't know what is the priority of the bear system? ”

Zhang Tinggong took a look, and his heart was inexplicably sudden, could it be that he had joined Li Jing and leaked the news so quickly?

But he didn't dare to slack off, he took the letter directly, and sent the person down first, and then he looked at the letter, and when he saw it, he was immediately frightened.

"Brother Shang Zai, my brother is the governor, I am the governor, and all my colleagues under the rule of the imperial court are also ......"

"Brother ten years of hard reading poetry, deeply sage, repay the grace of the king, in the past when the title of the gold list, my emperor is very gracious, the court did not have half of the brother inappropriate, today ......"

"Li Jing, the rebellious minister and thief, the cholera dynasty, the alleged king, this great rebel person, brother and ancestor face, who has served the Ming king for 200 years, this loyalty is unparalleled, since the brother is familiar with poetry and literature, he knows loyalty, righteousness and shame, and can serve the thief ......"

"This is reasonable, heaven and earth, I want to inform Brother Yu, I hope not to make mistakes, leave a stench for 10,000 years, so that the descendants will be disgraced, and they will not be able to serve the king in life, Kuang Chaogang, and the people of Ze Li will not be able to leave their innocence in the world in death, and then the ancestors will be disgraced under the nine springs......"

"Therefore, I invite you to come to the house, treat my brother with sincerity, and hope to come as soon as possible~!"

It's a reasonable persuasion article, but it's a pity that after Zhang Tinggong read it, his thoughts in his heart were even more chaotic, based on this letter alone, he knew that Xiong Wencan was going to have a showdown with Li Jing, and if he didn't do it well, he would have to fight against him with a real knife and a gun, and his idea of serving the court openly and secretly taking refuge in Li Jing was shattered.

The problem of choosing one of the two, on the one hand, is the righteousness of the imperial court and the survival of the family, on the other hand, the oppression of reality, the inability of the imperial court to suppress, so that Li Jing is sitting on an army of 300,000 today, and occupies an absolute advantage, the imperial court in Shandong and Henan fell into the quagmire one after another, and the national strength was greatly consumed, so it could not fight against Li Jing.

According to the letter, after the so-called Henan victory, even if the Henan Yu soldiers who are freed up, what role can they play? When Wei Shugui wooed him, some of the news revealed in his words had already made him guess well, that is, in Taiyuan, the Qin army was about 100,000, and at the border of Jinyu Province, tens of thousands of elites were already waiting for him.

Such a general trend, can the court An not know? But in this case, the imperial court still has to attack Li Jing first, and the news from the north, really think he is deaf? Don't know at all? Those merchants who were secretly in contact had already brought him some timely news, and the imperial court wanted to borrow the hands of the Mongol Tatars to recover Datong and Shanxi, and strive to defeat Li Jing in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that Zhang Tinggong doesn't approve of this behavior, that is, why can he become the governor of Datong? Isn't it because of the Mongolian Tatars? A few years ago, Lin Dan Khan of the Han Department ravaged Datong and almost broke Datong City.

"No, he has a showdown today, he must make some moves, contact the movements in the north and west, it's not good, he invited me over today, just to borrow the governor's standard camp at hand, ready to control Datong Town!"

Zhang Tinggong walked back and forth in place, but he couldn't make up his mind, "What should I do?" ”

Directly reject Xiong Wencan's messenger, this is definitely not possible, so there is no way to retreat completely, once things change, he will definitely have to sit in the middle,

"But what if Xiong Wencan takes the opportunity to control me?"

Zhang Tinggong really couldn't make up his mind, but outside the door, the messenger's urging voice arrived again, "Please move quickly, Lord Governor." ”

"You are a man, you have many mouths and tongues, and you don't hurry up and retreat."

It just so happened that the housekeeper in the house came up loyally and scolded him, and drove the messenger away.

"Steward Zhang, come in, master, I have something to command."

Since you can't think of any way, let's go, but you have to tell you about the future, otherwise, you won't know how to die if you die.

"Master, if you have something to say, just give me orders, and listen to the little ones."

"How many years have you been with me?"

Zhang Tinggong looked at the familiar face in front of him, and he was a little wrinkled, how many people were following him in this moment?

"Master, it has been thirty-two years since the little one followed you from your hometown in Fujian to Beijing to catch the exam."

This housekeeper Zhang Yuntai, named homonym is for Zhang Tinggong to serve all his life, the most loyal, from his companion to the school boy, all the way here, unconsciously, it has been more than 30 years.

"So good, so good! Yuntai, in fact, your literary talent is more than enough to be a prefect, but it's a pity that I have been running around with my lord all these years, and there is no fixed number, I have wronged you~! ”

Zhang Yuntai didn't know why Zhang Tinggong, who had never said much, had so many feelings today, but his existence was to serve the Zhang family, which suddenly made him dare not answer at will, "Master, the little me, born poor, if it weren't for the Zhang family to take in, I'm afraid that I would have starved to death in the wilderness, in this life, the little one can serve by the master's side, it is a lifetime of blessing." ”

This is true at all, this kind of scholar who has been raised since childhood, whether it is a family or a career, has always followed it, that has always been loyal to the master's family, and those ugly things in the drama are a very small part of the world after all.

"Master, I am going to do a bottomless thing today, I am afraid that this matter is extremely dangerous, and one is not good, that is, the corpse is in a different place, can I entrust my life to you?"

Zhang Tinggong has decided, go, you have to go, if you don't go, you will be regarded as a rebel by the court, and sooner or later your family will suffer, but going is not the same as saying that you must entrust your life to the court, after all, he is really not optimistic that these people can succeed, Li Jing, who has an army of 300,000, will be able to win the world sooner or later, if he settles accounts after the autumn, none of his children and grandchildren will be able to escape, not to mention that if he is alive, the court will have scruples, and dare not attack his family!

"Master, the old slave has served the Zhang family for fifty years, this life has long been the master's, please don't say such heartless words, if the old man doesn't believe it, the old slave will be cut off, with full loyalty~!"

Where did Zhang Yuntai see this battle, he immediately knelt directly to the ground in a panic, and two lines of old tears suddenly flowed.

"Okay, I entrust my life today, my lord, I am going to the governor's yamen immediately, but these people, none of them want to force me to die, you take my Futai seal, and immediately take the family guards to the governor's standard camp to sit in the town, be sure to give me a firm grasp of this military horse, no matter who takes over the military power, take it for me! If, after two hours, I have not personally come to the Governor Biaoying to summon you, you will immediately send someone to inform the Qin army in the city, warn them, and send someone to the governor's yamen to rescue me!" ”

Zhang Tinggong looked at this loyal servant who did not seem to be a hypocrisy, and finally chose to believe it. (To be continued.) )
