Chapter 116: Choosing a General

Zhang Guoji plans to take his son's secret letter to the Queen Mother tomorrow to complain. But just like this, a famous guy hurried to the study. Zhang Guoji let him in, and then asked, "Zhang Xi, what's the matter?" ”

"If you go back to the master, it's Liu Su and Kang Yuan, and they're back." The little guy Zhang Xi replied.

"Didn't they follow CITIC in Hangzhou? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Zhang Guoji asked casually.

"The little Shicai also asked, they said that the young master had an accident, and now he is in a hurry to see the master?" The little guy replied.

"Something happened to CITIC?" Zhang Zhongxin gasped, "Why don't you call them to come to see me." ”

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Xi hurriedly ran out of the study, and after a while, two men followed him to the study. Both of them were in a hurry, with a tired face, obviously in a hurry, and they didn't have much rest.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, Zhang Guoji immediately asked, "Why did you come back, why didn't the young master come back with him, what happened?" ”

"If you go back to the master, something is wrong...... Young master, young master, he ...... ...... dead," the man named Liu Su stammered.

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Zhang Guoji almost didn't get out of the chair.

"Young master, young master...... Young master, he's dead......" Liu Su repeated with difficulty.

"Ga ......" was sure that he hadn't listened to the anchor just now, Zhang Guoji couldn't hold on any longer, and fainted when he landed. He is just such a son, fortunately, he already has a grandson, and he does not refer to him as a successor, but the pain of white-haired people sending black-haired people can be borne by a few people.

"Old man......" Seeing that Zhang Guoji had fainted, Zhang Xi and Liu Su were startled, and hurriedly ran to Zhang Guoji's side, either beating his back, or stroking his chest and pinch his middle.

After a while, Zhang Guoji finally woke up leisurely, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but scream, "My son, ......" followed, and tears flowed out.

"Master......" The three of them wanted to persuade Zhang Guoji and say some words of condolences, but when the words came to their mouths, no one dared to speak.

I can only stand by honestly and watch my father-in-law cry.

Zhang Guoji cried for a long time, and the hospitability of his tears stopped. He asked weakly, "CITIC...... Be...... How did you die......"

"Young Master...... The young master was assassinated in Hangzhou......"

Liu Su said cautiously.

"Assassinated...... Who are the assassins? Zhang Guoji gritted his teeth and asked.

"This ......" Liu Su was obviously hesitant when he said this.

"Who is it?" Zhang Guoji saw that Liu Su didn't say anything, and immediately shouted angrily.

"The Assassins didn't catch it...... But...... From the total total signs showed...... Most likely...... Yue Su did ......," Liu Su said carefully.

"Yue Su! It's Yue Su again! Zhang Guoji clenched his steel teeth and almost didn't break his teeth. What evidence is there to prove that Yue Su did it? ”

"There is no concrete evidence, but it ...... The young master is in Zhejiang, and he doesn't have any enemies...... This time, it was still Weifu to go, and no one knew. After the young master arrived in Zhejiang, he went to Huzhou first, and later went to Hangzhou with Master Hong, and made every effort to investigate Yue Su's criminal evidence. As a result, I heard a lot of news about Yue Su's desire to rebel. Master, you think, Yue Su is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the whole of Hangzhou must be his territory, and we will inquire about him there, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hear about it, with his strength, Shun Tenggua, if you want to find out the young master, it will definitely not be difficult. It is the first time for the young master to go to Jiangnan, and it is inevitable that he will not adapt to the water and soil, and with some labor, his body will inevitably be unbearable. So, Master Hong proposed to take the young master to Hangzhou Divine Doctor Li Huichun to see a doctor, but after not thinking about the consultation room of the Huichun Hall, an assassin suddenly appeared and killed the young master, Master Hong, and the Divine Doctor Li. At that time, I didn't wait there, but guarded the luggage at the inn, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the young master's assassination had already spread all over the streets and alleys, and I could know it with a little inquiry. The reason why we came back, and we can be sure that Yue Su did it, is because there is another thing that makes us suspicious. "When Liu Su started to speak, he was still a little stammering, but the further he said, the clearer the coherence became." What else? Hurry up, don't grind. Zhang Guoji urged very unhappily.

"Yes, sir. Here's the thing, the young master left us at the inn to guard the luggage, and with us, there were several members of the Li family. Since there was nothing to do, we ordered some wine and food, and while eating and drinking, we waited for the young master to come back. I never thought that after the young master left, about half an hour later, an entourage of the Li Mansion came back in a panic to report that the young master and their master had all been stabbed to death, and asked the other entourages of the Li Mansion to hurry back to Huzhou to inform the family. When I heard this, I was shocked, where could I still sit still, and I didn't ask in detail, so I hurriedly went to the Rejuvenation Hall. We didn't know where the Rejuvenation Hall was, and we inquired many times along the way before we found a place. But after arriving, I heard from the people in the hall that Yue Su had already brought people here, and took away the bodies of the young master and Master Li, and arrested the people who followed the young master in our house. Therefore, we planned to go to the governor of Yuesu to inquire about the news, but we were also unfamiliar with the route, and we were delayed for a long time, but it was because of this that we were able to escape back to Beijing. As soon as we arrived on the street where the governor was staying, we saw a group of officers and soldiers coming out of the governor's house, and the leader asked the people on the street where the inn where we were staying. It wasn't until we sneaked back to the inn that we realized they had come to arrest us. At that moment, a few of us studied whether we should go to the governor of Yuesu to inquire about the news, and finally agreed that it was better to go back to Beijing to report the news first. At that time, we thought so, since he, Yue Su, had already brought the people who followed the young master back to Xingyuan, what should be inquired about could be found out from their mouths, why did he come to arrest us. Even if they reported to us, they should not have sent so many officers and soldiers, and the only explanation was that they wanted to arrest us. What is the purpose of this, obviously he doesn't want us to go back to Beijing to report to the master. Then he wrote a recital to the imperial court, and he didn't say anything. ”

After Liu Su finished speaking, Zhang Guoji nodded and said:

"You're right, Yue Su must be for this purpose. Okay, you Yue Su......" Zhang Guoji gritted his teeth fiercely, and said in an angry voice: "Are you really planning to rebel...... The vengeance of the son...... I'm going to make you pay for it with blood......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Liu Su and Zhang Xi and asked, "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

"And the brothers who came back with us know that they are all waiting outside the study now." Liu Su replied.

"Don't mention this matter to anyone, so as not to leak the news and let Yue Su's henchmen know. I'll go to see Madame, and I'll go into the palace to meet the Queen Mother later, and you will wait in this courtyard, and you are not allowed to walk around casually. Zhang Guoji ordered.

"Yes, sir." ...... Zhang Guoji immediately left the study and went to the backyard to see Mrs. Taikang. After seeing his wife, when she told her son about her death, Mrs. Taikang's reaction was the same as her husband's, and she fainted on the spot.

Zhang Guoji hurriedly woke up the old lady with the maid, and after waking up, the old lady began to cry and wipe her tears. Zhang Guoji persuaded her for a long time before temporarily stopping her tears, and then retreated, and assassinated her son, and everything Liu Su said was relayed to her as it was.

As soon as Mrs. Taikang heard that her son was killed by Yue Su, her eyes turned red, and with tears in her eyes, she scolded loudly: "Okay, you Yue Su, you are really a bully, in the past, my Zhang family just cried and swallowed, you actually had to inch in this time, and dared to kill my son's life." Even if I fight for this old life, I will let you give me my life! ”

"Madam, my son sent a secret letter about Yue Su's intention to rebel, it was just delivered today, but I didn't expect the bad news to follow, it seems that Yue Su must be trying to rebel. Let's not delay, let's get rich and see my daughter now, tell her about the matter, let her behead Yue Su, and avenge my son! If it's late, it's easy to be beaten by Na Yue Su! Zhang Guoji said.

"That's right...... That's right...... the old lady cried and said, "Let's go into the palace now, and quickly call someone to prepare a sedan chair." ”

In the past few days, Zhang Yan has been very tired, mainly because of the war in the northwest. The rogue descended and reversed, and reversed and descended. And every time it is reversed, it will cause a loss of local soldiers and horses.

The excerpts of the Northwest requesting reinforcements and urging salaries, as well as the news of the defeat, are basically every day, and Zhang Yan is having trouble sleeping and eating, for fear of losing the country left by her husband. As a result, a generation of Cleopatra was in her prime, and it seemed a little vicissitudes.

Zhang Yan also didn't know how to transfer troops and send generals, but it was precisely because she didn't understand that she didn't command Hu, but handed over the task to the cabinet and let the cabinet complete it. However, due to the struggle for power between the two parties in the cabinet, and Zhou Daodeng, the first assistant, could not suppress the situation, so it was becoming more and more serious, and the matter of transferring troops and sending generals was usually discussed for a day, and there was no reason to fight. On the Yue side, Lu Xiangsheng, who recommended the current right to participate in politics and was rectifying the military equipment of the three prefectures of Daimyo, Guangping, and Shunde, led the army into Shaanxi to help. Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and horses have a title, called "Tianxiong Army", and they have a certain combat effectiveness. However, the people promoted by the Yue Party, the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang are not affirmed, and they also promoted an official, that is, Sun Chuanting, the current prefect of Baoding. Sun Chuanting has never had any experience in leading troops, but how the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang discovered this fierce man is really incomprehensible.

Going to Shaanxi for reinforcements doesn't seem like a good thing, but going to Shaanxi to fill this position is really not small, and it is the position of Shaanxi Economic Strategy. How can such a big official be casually given to many parties. They couldn't come up with the final candidate for a long time, but the excerpts urged by Shaanxi were continuous, and Zhang Yan saw that it was really not good, so she could only ask Zou Yi to help shoot it
