Chapter 737: Quietly leaving Beijing

These people in high positions have too many secrets that are not enough for outsiders. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info They hold on to these secrets and may bring them into the coffin.

Zhu Yong has Zhu Yong's secret, Zhang Ru has Zhang Ru's secret, neither of them will deliberately ask, even if they ask, the other party may not be able to say.

After some time, everything was ready, and Zhang Ru began to tour the south.

In the first month of the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the snow was falling, and the morning of the tenth day of the first month was very cold, and seven or eight carriages came out of the Dingguo Mansion.

In the middle carriage, Zhang Ru and Yang Tinghe sat side by side, Zhang Ru's face was full of exhaustion, he talked with the emperor all night last night, and did not leave the palace until this morning.

Originally, it was a straight trip to the south of the Yangtze River, but because the emperor ordered Liu Qi to be the general of the guard, he transferred to Xuanfu for a few days.

Seeing each other again, Liu Qi was a lot haggard, far less chic than he used to eat with Zhang Ru.

After all, when he was in Datong with nearly 10,000 people during this time, he was squeezed out by Ma Zhang's people. Either to trouble them or to let his brothers go.

He really hated Ma Zhang, but the poor troops at hand couldn't do anything else, so he had to swallow his anger.

originally wanted to wait for the placement of the imperial court, and then he would be disarmed and returned to the field, but it seems that the imperial court did not mean to let him go like this.

The Guard General sounds very good to say, but things may not be easy to do.

If you think about it with your kneecaps, you know that Zhang Ru will never let him go like this. He has followed Zhang Ru for a certain amount of time, and he also has a certain understanding of Zhang Ru, knowing that Zhang Ru is a person who must be repaid.

"This time, you'll have to do it." Zhang Ru didn't seem to remember that Liu Qi had the idea of rebellion, and patted him on the shoulder.

Fortunately, Wang Zhou was not in the team, otherwise it was estimated that these two would have to fight.

Zhang An said that he was old and frail, and he was no longer suitable to be an official in a place like Liaodong, and Emperor Zhu Youzhu also expressed his understanding of the veteran and asked Zhang An to recommend candidates. So, Zhang An very unkindly recommended a young man named Wang Zhou.

Wang Zhou made trouble for a day or two, and he was at home with his old man Wang Shu. But Wang Shu told him everything in one sentence, you are an official of the court, you are a prince of the king, and you are loyal to the king, and you will go wherever Your Majesty wants you to go.

In the end, Wang Shu also threw out a sentence, if you don't want to go, you can ask the opinion of Dingguo Gong.

At this time, Wang Zhou was completely silent, and let him ask Zhang Ru's opinion, which was simply looking for death.

Wang Zhou, who had no choice, went to Liaodong to exchange for Zhang An, a dormitory, to retire in the capital.

In this regard, Zhang Ru doesn't have much opinion, his brother is going to fly after all, if the wings are stiff and he doesn't fly, then he Zhang Wenxuan's is not.

Now, the two generals under Zhang Ru's command occupy the position of the general army in two places, although Ma Xuan may not be as commanding as before, but he will definitely not do anything to harm Zhang Ru.

Not to mention Wang Zhou, with his ability, after going to Liaodong, the life of the bitter border army in Liaodong is estimated to be much better, of course, there will definitely be no less suffering.

It's just that Zhang An didn't expect that this unintentional move would make the Ming Liaodong Frontier Army become the real mainstay of the Ming Dynasty twenty years later.

Of course, that's all for later.

Liu Qi's gaze wandered through the crowd for a moment, and after finding that there was no trace of Wang Zhou, he sneered and said, "Grandpa said that he was joking, this is a matter of humble duty." ”

Zhang Ru said with a smile: "What is within the scope of things, my father's thoughtfulness, but it all depends on General Liu." This time I went to Jiangnan, I had the opportunity to go to Huguang to see, the people in this Huguang land are full of domineering, and a scholar has the courage to sacrifice his life for righteousness. Look at what the living environment is like for such a person. ”

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when he mentioned his cousin, Liu Qi still blushed.

I think that Zhang Ru was just looking at his cousin's face, so he reluctantly brought himself into the command of the official. And after his wings grew, he chose to betray.

This time Zhang Ru mentioned his cousin Liu Peng, even if it was unintentional, he would treat it as intentional.

"Let's go, you still have 3,000 men under you, and you can barely make it this time. However, don't bring firearms, killing weapons, it's not so safe to carry on the road. Zhang Ru said again.

Liu Qi stopped doing it now: "Grandpa, it is inevitable to encounter some bandits, horse bandits or something along the way, so it's better to let the brothers bring the guys to eat." ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "There are so many of us, ordinary bandits and horse bandits don't have contact at all, and it doesn't matter if they bring it or not." Doesn't it mean that after your people get firearms, they don't even have the most basic combat instincts? ”

Liu Qi said: "Grandpa's safety is the first, it's better to be careful." ”

Zhang Ru smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, if you don't do it to me, no one should dare to do it to me." Neither my Cloud Rider nor the Dark Guard are vegetarians. Of course, it's not a problem that you have to bring firearms, the one who gave all the guns to me, and the one who gave me all the gunpowder.

Liu Qi, it's not that I'm timid, but I'm afraid!

What you did in Datong, I still feel scared when I think about it, if the person in that position was not Wang Zhou but me, would I have eaten your lead a long time ago.

A person has many opportunities in his life, some of which can be grasped, and some of which he cannot grasp in his lifetime.

I, Zhang Wenxuan, am not a good person, and I never think that you Liu Qi are a good person.

However, I have always treated you as one of my own. ”

Liu Qi is also single, seeing that Zhang Ru said everything so clearly, he simply said: "If Grandpa is not at ease, Liu Qi will not follow." ”

Zhang Ru nodded and said, "Yes, I'm not at ease, I'm not at ease." You are the one who betrayed once, and you betrayed me not because of someone else's orders, but because of your own thoughts.

You are ambitious, I can understand it, you are ambitious, I can understand it, but you can't play me like a fool, and I, Zhang Wenxuan, am not a fool.

I can't order you to do anything, you are the general of the Shenji Battalion, and I don't dare to order you to do anything, because I am afraid that I will be betrayed.

I'm a little wrong, what I'm most afraid of in this life is betrayal, since you've betrayed, what else can I believe in you?

Is it to take your scholarly cousin Liu Peng, who has died on the battlefield? Or take the thousands of advanced muskets of your Shenji battalion?

You think I'm unfair, but do you know how long it took Fan Tong to ask me for the authority of the Divine Machine Battalion?

I'm talking about this today, just to tell you that I, Zhang Wenxuan, have never been ashamed of you. Your people can be taken away, all the firearms are left, and in the future, you will no longer be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
