The weather in mid-May was mild and pleasant, with only a light rain adding some moisture. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe imperial city in the misty rain and fog is full of shadows, the palace rooms are lined up, under the corridor are a piece of vermilion carved window purlins, and the thick vermilion pillars stand on the white marble stone drum, and in the middle of the stone carved guardrail is a wide imperial staircase, leading to the mysterious and majestic Long Live Palace.

A young chamberlain stepped on the imperial steps with an umbrella and a dust whisk in his other hand, and when he saw that the person behind him did not follow, he couldn't help but stop and turn around and urge: "Zhang Xianggong and his wife hurry up, don't let the official family wait for a long time!" ”

Let his wife hold a tung oil paper umbrella to avoid the fine rain, holding the crook of his arm, Zhang Yue raised his eyes and looked, and the Long Live Hall was located on a high pedestal, giving people a great sense of oppression. Especially when the new queen had a variable and entered the Zide Hall for five days, the emperor was summoned by illness, which was full of unknown dangers.

"Let's go! We know that...... Relax! The umbrella will be handed over to the chamberlain in a moment! Zhang Yue reminded him that he didn't have anything to worry about, at least there were no accidents yet.

But Fu Jinqiong was very stressed in her heart, nodded silently, and wanted to see the new queen, but she was completely unfamiliar with this "righteous cousin" who had never met, if she was too enthusiastic, it would make the emperor unhappy, and if she was indifferent, it would make the emperor suspicious, and it was really difficult to handle.

Ascending from the imperial stairs, Fu Jinqiong put the umbrella away, and the waiter took it impatiently, glanced at the other waiter at the door, retreated to the side and waited, signaling Zhang Yue and his wife to enter the hall with another waiter.

Walk through the front hall around the east corridor, enter a wide and dim palace room, lead the chamberlain to report first, and soon come out to lead the two inside, a wide six-fold screen in front of you is slowly pushed by the two palace maids to the middle and close, and then withdrew, revealing the tall gilded vermilion lacquer couch five or six steps ahead, the dome brocade tent is open to the figure-eight on both sides, Guo Rong is wearing a moon-white middle coat and half lying on the couch, and another young woman in a bright yellow queen's dress is sitting on the edge of the couch, as if taking care of Guo Rong who is sick.

"The minister Zhang Yue came to see him, and I respectfully greet the Holy Communion! Please say hello to the Queen! Zhang Yue bowed his head and bowed his hand, slightly surprised in his heart. The emperor actually showed his illness and brought the queen to summon him, which showed a lot of meaning at once. At the very least, the strategy worked.

"Lady of the courtiers, Mrs. Xindu, come to me with your husband and ask for the well-being of the Holy Sacrament! Congratulations to the Queen Mother's New Year! Fu Jinqiong folded her hands on her waist, bent her knees and squatted down to make a blessing salute, and the moment she raised her head, her eyelashes flickered and she glanced at the queen quickly, and saw that she had a gentle and tranquil smile on her face, without any pretentiousness, and immediately felt great sympathy for her situation.

"Excuse me! Sit! It was the new queen who spoke, her voice was crisp and soft, and her voice still carried the vigor of a young lady. And Guo Rong was half-lying, his eyes squinted slightly in his sunken eye sockets, his eyes flickered, and he just raised his hand.

"What have you been up to lately?" Guo Rong's voice was low and hoarse, with a sense of powerlessness from the middle of the air.

"The Privy Council has not had much major events recently, and the ministers count and calculate the expenditure of the forbidden army in previous years every day, and they feel that the state affairs are difficult, and it is not easy for Your Majesty to govern!" Zhang Yue replied casually, but guessed the meaning of the emperor's words in his heart.

"Really?" Guo Rong asked, suddenly turned over and sat up, raised his voice and said in a fierce voice: "Did I let you interfere with the guards?" How many generals have been installed? ”

"Ahh The two women exclaimed in fright at the same time, and quickly stretched out their hands to cover their mouths, and the queen quickly sat still as if nothing had happened, keeping her demeanor calm, but the slightly crooked eyes clearly betrayed the sense of superiority that flashed in her heart, and returned to that smile that was vague; Fu Jinqiong lowered her head deeply, leaning towards her husband's side with a pale face.

"Your Majesty! The minister was originally given by the first emperor himself, rewarded the commander of the palace before moving, and later served as a general of the forbidden army and the right to lead the local military state. In the first year of Xiande, he moved to the left side of Hujie, bringing back a few generals from the locality, and in order to reward his merits, he did not deliberately place people. Among them, Zheng Gong folded from Ruan's staff Li Chuyun, and now leads Long Jie's right wing; In addition, in the second year of Xiande, he and Murong Zhao conquered Qin Feng, and all of his subordinates were assigned to the Guards Division; In addition, the prince of Hexi County Zhang Ya will be compiled into Hou Congyi, and the left side of Longjie will be moved to the left side with Huainan military exploits, and the rest of the generals and ministers are not clear. ”

This is all the truth, not to mention the emperor, the important ministers of the court and the general of the forbidden army, who doesn't know? But the reality is this situation, there is no reward for military exploits, money is not given, power is not given, there are only so many local prefectures and counties, and at the end of Guangshun and the beginning of Xiande, military generals are not allowed to take charge of prefectures and counties, and military states are strictly controlled.

Zhang Yue lowered his head and was expressionless, but he felt cold sweat flowing from his armpits, the emperor's words were too harsh, and he intervened in the guards...... Placement of manpower...... Any one is taboo as long as it is said, but not only asking, but also asking about sin, what is this trying to do? Kill in one word? I'm afraid it's not so easy to kill......

"Why hasn't Lanzhou Jiedu Xuan Chongwen arrived for a long time? Do you want to resist the edict? Guo Rong's eyes stared coldly, Xu was too emotional, his body was too weak, and his clenched fists trembled slightly.

"I don't know! Kansai is thousands of miles away, and how the festival marshal moves belongs to Xuanwei Academy, maybe Wu Yanzuo knows. "How could Zhang Yue not know, that Wang Yanchao is not stupid, how dare he go to Lanzhou, he claimed to be sick when he passed through Shuofang, he didn't go to the place, Xuan Chongwen asked someone to hand over. Of course, this matter can't be said, looking at the emperor like this, it is clear that he is deceiving him, like the last time he was in Wuqiang in Shenzhou.

"There is no more war in Kansai, when will the armor workshop in Huizhou be abolished?" Guo Rong continued to ask, he hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the northwest for a long time, and if it hadn't been for Fan Zhen mentioning it recently, he would have forgotten about it.

"The three divisions still owe millions of dollars to the northwest military funds, this is the money that the minister owes to the merchants in Guanzhong, if the three divisions do not give, the minister will not be able to repay all the wealth! However, the armor workshop can be removed in batches, and the salt herding supervisor can deal with it nearby. "What else is there to say about this, Zhang Yue's accounts in the northwest are very clear, not that he paid in advance, and the three divisions can be exempted, if you want to stop the workshop, then give the money first.

Zhang Yue used soldiers at the border, only half of the three divisions of grain and grass were out, and the armor was self-casting, which was still money. But at this time, you naturally can't use this as a threat, that's the next policy, and talk to the emperor about the conditions, isn't that self-defeating.

"I plan to send Zan Jurun to deal with it, and repay the arrears with the money from the salt pastor and the cancellation of the workshop, and you also recommend a candidate!" Guo Rong's tone softened a little, he also knew that the two fronts in the northwest and Huainan were fighting at the same time, and Sansike deducted the military food logistics in the northwest and did not give it afterwards, so it might be counterproductive to forcibly deal with this matter, so Zhang Yue recommended one person to coordinate.

"If the courtier is not familiar with the Chinese officials of the court, the Chinese book can be sent as appropriate!" Zhang Yue's voice was flat, and his heart was already full of anger, Fan Zhen and these civil officials wanted to take advantage of the emperor's reluctance to see things, and began to collect the logistics armor of the towns in Guanxi, and the next step was to transfer people.

Not to mention that the salt herding supervisor and the armor workshop were originally built by themselves, and even the entire northwest was fought by themselves, what happened to the DPRK and the central government, the only thing was authorized by the edict.

Zhang Yue and his wife leaned on the two and walked out of the Long Live Palace, the drizzle was still falling, and the waiter took out of the Donghua Gate along the way, Zhang Yue sent Fu Jinqiong to the carriage, but Fu Jinqiong had palpitations on his face, pulled Zhang Yue to follow the car, and asked in a low voice: "I thought that calling us into the palace was to recognize the emperor with the new queen, but I didn't want to teach her to guard against us in the future. ”

"Pretty smart! It's a threat to let you listen too, if the Wei Wangfu doesn't support the crown prince and the new empress, it will be suppressed like me. Pity! It was useless for that group of civil officials to beat the abacus loudly, don't you think the emperor's voice just now was surprisingly loud? Zhang Yue smiled meaningfully, seeing that his wife showed a look of surprise, clapped his hands and signaled her to go home first, jumped out of the carriage by himself, turned around and walked into the Donghua Gate, he still had to go to the Privy Council to stay.
