It's night, Wang Pu Daying.

Chang Yanling and Li Zushu went into the city during the day to inquire about the news, and they haven't come back yet.

Scarface, Xiao Qi, Amu and others all gathered in Zhen Youcai's tent, Wang Pu was not there, Zhen Youcai, the dog-headed military advisor, seemed to be their backbone.

Zhen Youcai said: "We can't sit still, we must find a way to rescue the general." ”

Scarface said, "Mr. Zhen, what should we do?" ”

Zhen Youcai thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "This matter is caused by the marriage of the Long Live Lord, and it has to be married by the marriage, we will give him a yellow mud and fall into the crotch of his pants, not is!" ”

Amu asked, "What, what do you mean, what do you mean?" ”

"It's simple." Zhen Youcai said in a deep voice, "It is to cook the raw rice into mature rice, and force the Long Live Lord to marry the Princess Changping to the Long Live Lord, as long as the general marries Her Royal Highness the Princess, he will be the master of the horse, as long as the general becomes a relative of the emperor, those Qingliu in the court will not be eligible to participate in him, this matter has to be managed by the Zongren Mansion, but the Zongren Mansion is not a matter of Long Live Lord's words, do you say that Long Live Lord can still kill his son-in-law?" ”

"Wonderful." Scarface smacked and said, "How can there be a reason in the world for an old man to kill his son-in-law, this is a good idea." ”

Xiao Qi frowned and said: "Mr. Zhen, Long Live Lord originally intended to give Her Royal Highness the princess to the general, but the general himself refused, if the general is unwilling to do this, this raw rice will not be able to cook ripe rice!" ”

"That's right." Scarface also felt that it made sense when he heard it, and asked Zhen Youcai again, "What if the general is unwilling?" ”

"You don't know the general, why wouldn't the general want to marry the princess?" Zhen Youcai smiled and said, "The general is unwilling to take a leave of absence from Mrs. Yuanyuan and then marry the princess, you don't know the general's surname, who can force him to do what he recognizes?" Even if he didn't have Mrs. Yuanyuan in his heart at all, he was afraid that he would do this, not to mention that Mrs. Yuanyuan was gentle and virtuous and saved the general's life, so the general would not do it. That's why we have to cook raw rice into rice, and we have to give Banzai Ye a yellow mud to fall into the crotch of his pants, it's not but is. ”

Scarface and Amu glanced at each other, and the two shook their heads at the same time and said, "I don't understand." ”

"Ahem, you don't have to understand." Zhen Youcai coughed dryly, and then said, "You just need to do what I say." ”

"Okay." Scarface and the others nodded at the same time, "Mr. Zhen, you can say it." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "Xiao Qi, tomorrow you go to Yanjing City to find a few down-and-out talents, let them add fuel and vinegar to the love story of the general and Mrs. Yuanyuan, and then take the script to find a few famous troupes, I believe that these troupes will be happy to put the love story of the general and the round girl on the stage." ”

The Ming generation began from Hongwu, the control of officialdom was extremely harsh, officials who were greedy for 60 taels of silver could be sentenced to death, but the control of the people was extremely relaxed, especially the people of the north and south of Beijing, it can be said that they were connived at by the imperial court, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the voice of the people pointed out that the government had become a kind of atmosphere.

For example, the Fushe in Jiangnan is a purely non-governmental organization, but it dares to openly criticize the government and even slander the important ministers of the court.

As long as these non-governmental organizations do not form parties with the courtiers, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty will be resigned to this, and how the Ming Dynasty ruled in the history of the Ming Dynasty and how the people lived in terror is actually a lie, in fact, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, when the Han people were in power, can be said to be the most "human-right" dynasties in China's 2,000-year-old feudal history.

At least for the civilian population.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the opera troupe openly sang the drama of the important ministers of the imperial court, and the storyteller of the teahouse tavern openly explained the secrets of the current emperor is by no means a fantasy, as long as you do not deliberately fabricate a scandal to distort and smear the courtiers or the emperor, the government will generally turn a blind eye and rarely come to ask.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"Remember to give more silver taels, so that those down-and-out talents can write a little more exciting."

"No problem."

"Scarface, from tomorrow onwards, you bring more silver taels, go to the restaurant and teahouse every day to gossip, find more friends in the rivers and lakes to chat, you just need to tell them that the general is the most affectionate and righteous man in the world, for the sake of Mrs. Yuanyuan, he did not hesitate to refuse the marriage of Princess Changping, in order to save his aggrieved soldiers, he even dared to risk death to rob the law field."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

"By the way, it's best to find a few storytellers, tell them about the general's deeds first, if there is a storyteller to help publicize, I believe the general's story will soon spread throughout Yanjing City." In a few days, the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law of the entire Yanjing City will know that the general refused to marry because he was unwilling to divorce Mrs. Yuanyuan, and the old men of the entire Yanjing City will also know that the general will fall to the point where he is now in order to save his own aggrieved soldiers. ”

Scarface nodded, "Got it." ”

Zhen Youcai said again: "Tomorrow, I will go to Tianfu and Zhoufu with heavy gifts, and take the path of Zhou Guozhang and Tian Guoshu. ”

Seeing that Xiao Qi and Scarface had something to do, but he was fine, Amu couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Then, what about me?" ”

"You?" Zhen Youcai glanced at Amu and said, "You stay in the camp, control the other brothers, and let them not cause trouble at this time." ”

■■■

When Zhen Youcai and they were trying to find a way to rescue Wang Pu, there was also a person who was also running around to dredge up the relationship with Wang Pu, this person was Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as mentioned earlier, the current Chen Xinjia and Wang Pu have become grasshoppers on a rope, you can't run away and you can't walk me, Chen Xinjia has to run for Wang Pu.

Chen Xinjia found the new cabinet first assistant Zhou Yanru's mansion, but he was closed.

Isn't Zhou Yanru in the house? Of course not, when Chen Xinjia came to the door, Zhou Yanru was talking secretly with Wang Xiyan, the servant of the ministry, in the study.

Wang Xiyan asked, "Why didn't Elder Ge see Lord Chen?" ”

Zhou Yanru said: "At this time, it's better not to get too close to Chen Xinjia. ”

Wang Xiyan asked puzzledly: "During the day, on the Golden Palace, isn't the Pavilion Elder still working with Lord Chen to protect the general army of Wang?" Why ...... now?"

Zhou Yanru said: "The day is the day, and now is the present." ”

Wang Xiyan said: "Ge Lao means ......"

Zhou Yanru said: "During the day, the old man tried to protect Wang Pu because he didn't want Wang Pu to die at that time, and now the old man doesn't want to be with Chen Xinjia because the old man hasn't understood the current thoughts of Long Live Lord." ”

Wang Xiyan asked in a condensed voice: "Pavilion Elder said that it is really possible for Wang Pu to be executed by the Lord of Long Live Mansion?" ”

"It's hard to say." Zhou Yanru muttered, "Originally, if Wang Pu exonerated himself with the death-free gold medal, he would be able to easily escape this catastrophe, but who would have thought that Wang Pu would take the death-free gold medal to exchange the surname of his pawns?" Now that things have become complicated, Wang Pu has forced Long Live Lord into a very embarrassing situation, and he can't find a suitable step to go down even if he wants to let Wang Pu go. ”

"But the lower officials think that it is unlikely that the Lord will kill Wang Pu?" Wang Xiyan shook his head and said, "Although this Wang Pu is bold and reckless, he is indeed a rare general, and he destroyed Shengjing, captured Huang Taiji alive, recovered Jining, dredged Cao Road, and recaptured the long-lost jade seal of the country, these are all great achievements, are they not enough to offset the merits?" ”

Zhou Yanru asked rhetorically: "Wang Pu has indeed made great contributions to the imperial court, but don't you think Wang Pu is too capable?" Long Live Lord was already holding back the fire because of the refusal to marry, and now he has the matter of resisting the decree and robbing the law field, this is really adding fuel to the fire, the more capable Wang Pu who dares to act recklessly like this, the more jealous he is of Long Live Lord......"

Wang Xiyan suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder Elder Ge is reluctant to see Lord Chen at this time. ”

"But ......," Zhou Yanru changed his words, and then said, "Wang Pu is not certain to die. ”

Wang Xiyan said: "The lower officials are ignorant, and they also ask the elder of the pavilion to give advice." ”

Zhou Yanru said: "Actually, as long as Wang Pu can take a break from the fireworks woman, and then marry Princess Changping as his wife, then the matter of resisting the decree and robbing the law field can be turned into life, and it will be a good thing for Wang Pu himself and the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Wang Xiyan said: "What did the elder say about this? ”

Zhou Yanru said: "If the old man didn't guess wrong, Banzai originally planned to recruit Wang Pu as a concubine first, and then let Wang Pu supervise the Beijing camp as a lieutenant of the concubine, and it is unlikely that Wang Pu will be able to let him go to other towns to lead troops, so that Wang Pu will not be able to return to the border town to fight with Jiannu, nor will he be able to go to the Central Plains to clear out the thieves." ”

Wang Xiyan said: "So what now? ”

Zhou Yanru said: "Now that Wang Pu resisted the decree and robbed the law field, on the surface, this is bold and lawless, but on the other hand, it also shows that Wang Pu is a person who only values the love of the rivers and lakes, but in fact, he does not have any city government." If such a person really marries Her Royal Highness the Princess, he will not take refuge in Jiannu, nor will he take refuge in thieves, let alone pull the flag and rebel! So Long Live Lord can rest assured that he can go to other towns to command the army, wouldn't this become a good thing for the Ming Dynasty? ”

Wang Xichong said: "However, according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the horse cannot let go of the commanders of other towns?" ”

"What ancestral system?" Zhou Yanru said disapprerovingly, "The national disaster is at the head, who can take care of these things at the time of employing people?" Besides, whether Wang Pu can let go of the foreign town to command the troops, that is not a matter of Long Live Lord's words, if Long Live Lord has this heart, can he still blow the holy will with Liu Zongzhou and Li Banghua's clear streams? ”

"That's just as well." Wang Xiyan nodded, and asked again, "Does the elder of the pavilion think that Wang Pu will divorce his wife and marry again?" ”

Zhou Yanru stroked his long beard, shook his head and said: "The old man has not had much contact with Wang Pu, but he can also see that although Wang Pu acts recklessly and has a surname of Bahu, he is a good man who is affectionate and righteous, and would rather bend than bend. ”

Wang Xiyan nodded and said leisurely: "This is difficult......
