In the Forbidden City of Beiping, Zhu Jianshen rarely went to the office hall, and on the table was placed a fold sent back by Zhang Ru from thousands of miles away, one was the fold of Yan Ming's capture of the Taiyuan general soldier Duo Natuo, and the other was the fold of protecting Hu Jiujiang, the former garrison of the old camp fort, as the new chief soldier of Taiyuan.

I didn't believe the content of the two memoranda, but simply described the general situation of Taiyuan at this time.

went out on patrol again, and in less than a month, he took another general soldier, Zhu Jianshen was somewhat annoyed, and threw the fold on the table.

At this time, Liang Fang walked into the Jinshen Hall quickly, and only when he walked to Zhu Jianshen's side did he whisper: "Your Majesty, secret letter." ”

Zhu Jianshen raised his eyebrows: "Bring it." ”

A secret letter that did not open the fire paint came from Liang Fang's arms to Zhu Jianshen's hand, and after carefully checking the fire paint, Zhu Jianshen tore open the envelope and looked at it slowly.

It took a long time before he handed the secret letter in his hand to Liang Fang: "You can also take a look." ”

Liang Fang didn't dare to take it, and snorted: "Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is dictatorial, and the old slave still doesn't look at it." ”

Zhu Jianshen stuffed the letter paper into his hand: "Let you read it, and give me ideas everywhere." Over the years, the border towns have been neglected, and the courage of these people is about to swallow the sky. ”

Probably sensing the chill in the emperor's words, Liang Fang subconsciously took the letter, and after reading it word by word, he almost didn't throw the letterhead on the ground.

The content of the letter was so appalling that he didn't need to see it with his own eyes, just from the secret letter, he could imagine what Zhang Ru had experienced.

After taking a few deep breaths and stabilizing his mind, Liang Fang sighed: "Fortunately, Master Zhang didn't have an accident, otherwise this Natuo would be to blame even if he died." ”

"It is proposed to remove the Taiyuan general soldier Duo Na from all positions, and order the Jinyi guard to arrest him and interrogate him on the spot. As long as there is enough evidence, Jin Yiwei can act cheaply. Zhu Jianshen said with a dark face.

Liang Fang nodded yes: "The old slave obeys the order." ”

The letter paper was put back on the table, Zhu Jianshen rubbed the letter paper with his fingers, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

After Liang Fang prepared the central decree, Zhu Jianshen took a look at it, and asked Liang Fang to cover the jade seal without saying anything.

He has always been the one who unswervingly stands behind Zhang Ru and supports Zhang Ru, and this time, he still has to make an attitude of supporting Zhang Ru.

Although he knew that once this decree was issued, there would definitely be many people in the court who attacked Zhang Ru, but he still chose to support Zhang Ru without hesitation.

Whether it is Datong or Taiyuan, it is not a trivial matter, he doesn't want to see such things happen, but on the contrary, such things always happen.

At this moment, Zhu Jianshen realized that the Ming Empire, which belonged to him, had been rotten by its border towns and border troops.

When Zhang Ru served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he eliminated so many scum from the Jinyi Guard, so that this emperor, who had not lived a few days of stable life, saw the erosion of the army. And now, Zhang Ru has won two general troops on the nine sides in a row in just two years, which makes him realize that the Ming border army has reached the point where it must be rectified.

"You say, have they been bought by Zhang Ru?" After pondering for a long time, Zhu Jianshen suddenly asked.

Liang Fang was stunned for a moment, and then slowly shook his head: "The old slave thinks otherwise, the Tianmen guards are all carefully selected talents by His Majesty, with outstanding martial arts, flexible brains, and the most important thing is that they are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty." Mo said that now Lord Zhang doesn't know their identities, even if he knows their identities, with Lord Zhang's personality, I'm afraid he won't woo them. ”

Zhu Jianshen sighed lightly: "There is some truth, let people do it!" Huzi patrols the nine sides, I must give absolute support, if anyone in the court has attacked him recently, remember all of them, and ignore them. ”

Liang Fang bowed and said, "The old slave obeys the order." ”

Zhang Ru didn't know what small actions were made by anyone around him, he didn't write in detail about what happened in the twists and turns, firstly, because he didn't want to waste pen and ink, and secondly, he felt that the overall situation had been decided, and there was no need to write it in detail.

When Xu Ning, the chief soldier of Datong, was taken down, his butt was not hot as the governor of the nine sides, and the emperor did not say anything at that time. The evidence for the arrest of Donato this time is conclusive, and he doesn't think the emperor will say anything.

For the time being, he has not left the city of Biguan, thinking that he is still waiting for the imperial court to appoint the edict.

Hu Jiujiang is relieved to be the Taiyuan commander-in-chief, but others are the Taiyuan commander-in-chief, and it depends on whether he, the nine-sided governor, is willing.

After all, he is not the emperor, I don't know if the emperor is absolutely at ease with himself, and I don't know if the emperor will send Xungui to the capital again to be the chief soldier of Taiyuan.

Unlike those guards and envoys, the commander-in-chief of the Nine Frontiers had been the nobles of the Imperial Court since the Yongle period, and after the Tumu Fort Change, the Emperor strengthened his management of the Nine Frontiers. Rao is like this, the people who can serve as the chief soldiers of the Nine Sides are more or less related to the emperor.

After all, there are only a few people like Zhang An who purely rely on military merits, and it can be said that except for Zhang An and Wu Qian, the general soldiers of the other seven towns are basically the old men of the emperor's palace.

Now Hu Jiujiang, who is recommended by Zhang Ru, Zhu Jianshen didn't even know his name before this, so he put an unknown little person in such an important position as the Taiyuan General Army, and Zhang Ru didn't know the bottom of his heart.

After all, this world is the world of the old Zhu family, and who the old Zhu family is willing to let down as the chief soldier depends on the emperor's own will.

In a few days, he was a rare idle person for a few days.

and Su Qiqi are as good as honey blending oil, but there is a small light bulb with Ma Tongpao, and sometimes the intimate behavior of the two is a little inconvenient.

Green plums boil wine, red sleeves add fragrance, Zhang Ru writes a letter on the desk, Su Qiqi grinds ink with his hands, and the tiger-headed horse comrade stares at a pair of flickering big eyes and holds the three-character scripture upside down, and his eyes glance at Zhang Ru who is struggling to write from time to time.

The little guy's small actions naturally couldn't hide Zhang Ru's sharp eyes, he didn't reprimand the little guy, and after writing the letter to Xie Lun with a smile, he deliberately walked in front of Ma Tongbei with a straight face: "How did you memorize the book that Mr. asked you to memorize today?" ”

Ma Tong, who was very close to Su Qiqi and had a fear of Zhang Ru in his bones, stood up nervously, put down the book and stumbled on his back: "At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, their habits are far away, and they don't teach." Don't teach. ”

Zhang Ru said in a deep voice: "What do you not teach? ”

The little guy rubbed the corners of his clothes while throwing a look for help at Su Qiqi, who was standing behind Zhang Ru, he didn't even dare to look at Zhang Ru, for fear that Zhang Ru would beat himself.

In fact, during the time that he came out with Zhang Ru, he didn't say more than ten words to Zhang Ru. On weekdays, it was Su Qiqi who played with him, and it was the two gentlemen who taught him things.

Su Qiqi made a grimace behind Zhang Ru, and the little guy's eyes lit up with his own cleverness: "Don't teach, the cat doesn't bark, it's funny." ”

"Poof." Su Qiqi couldn't hold back his laughter.

Zhang Ru almost didn't hold back his laughter, this kid is very smart, but he just refuses to work hard, let him read a three-character scripture, he can think of much more things than the things on the three-character scripture.

"Hmph, what a good one who doesn't teach cats not to bark, read books by himself, and ask Mr. if he doesn't understand, if he doesn't memorize the first twenty sentences of the three-character scripture today, he is not allowed to eat." Zhang Ru's eyes widened, and he said with a serious threat.

Su Qiqi laughed coquettishly: "Don't be so fierce, what should you do if you scare the child." ”

Zhang Ru said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say that you are all spoiled." The two gentlemen have already complained to me, this kid usually doesn't listen well, as soon as he talks about reading, he says to kill pigs, and when he says to write, he says he wants to. His father hopes that he can become a champion, and if he continues like this, let alone the champion, no one will want to go to Liaodong Mansion to be a teacher. ”

"Okay, okay, what are you doing so fiercely, if we have a child in the future, you are not allowed to be so fierce." Su Qiqi pulled Zhang Ru's arm and coquettishly.

Ma Tongpao looked at Zhang Ru, whose face had changed and changed, with a wicked smile, and then was so frightened by Zhang Ru's eyes that he hurriedly buried his head in picking up the book and pretending to read it.

Walking out of the study hand in hand, Zhang Ru was relieved, opened his mouth and laughed silently.

Su Qiqi rolled his eyes at him: "I know you're scaring him, such a young child, is it necessary." ”

Zhang Ru covered his cheeks and said, "His father was born and died for me, I can't watch his son become a rotten stone." Even if he is a piece of jade, it needs to be carved. This kid is not stupid, but he is naughty, don't scare him, let him play like this, when will he become a talent! ”

Su Qiqi snuggled in his arms and murmured, "When can you not be so busy, how good it would be for us to go out for a walk." ”

"I'm not busy now, it's a good time to go to spring, why don't we go tomorrow?" Zhang Ru took a deep sniff in Su Qiqi's hair, closed his eyes and said.

Su Qiqi shook his little head: "Now is not the time, the nine sides of the million border army, you have to inspect, there will definitely not be enough time." I can't take care of a lot of small things, where do I have time to accompany me. ”

Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Wherever there is anything, before the imperial edict arrives, I am very idle." Besides, after the big things are done, there is no small matter at all. ”

Su Qiqi made a gesture: "Yes, yes, yes, you have subordinates to do everything, you are happy to be idle." No wonder I saw Jiang Wei secretly looking for someone to deliver a letter a few days ago, it turns out that what you need to do now is nothing else except writing a letter. ”

Zhang Ru subconsciously asked, "When?" ”

In his memory, he didn't let Jiang Wei deliver the letter in the past few days, but Su Qiqi said that he saw Jiang Wei sneaking around to find someone to deliver the letter, which made him instinctively feel that something was wrong.

"Just a few days ago, I was still wondering why he chose a shopkeeper of a silk village to deliver the letter." Su Qiqi said casually.

Zhang Ru tightened his arms around Su Qiqi, and his face became solemn.
