Zhang Zhang was dressed in a green coat and a small hat today, and walked into the Dongsheng Building with a loud voice.

Dongshenglou was not allowed to enter by the gentlemen of Donglin before, but now the door is crowded, and the shopkeeper is a little surprised, so Zhang Zhang directly asked to see Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru was previously the first assistant of the cabinet, and even if Zhang Li asked to see him, he probably wouldn't see him. But now the situation is different, Lord Zhou was ordered to pay tribute, and at the beginning, some politicians wanted to come to "burn the cold stove" to see if they could throw a chance. As Wen Tiren began to violently eliminate Zhou Yanru's forces, no one came to Dongshenglou immediately.

Wen Tiren was very smart, he was not stupid enough to go against the entire Donglin Party, but treated it differently - only attacking Zhou Yanru's cronies, and the other Donglin Party members did not move at all.

Dyson, the left attendant of the ministry, was the Donglin Party, but he was not Zhou Yanru's closest confidant, so he was safe and sound in this purge.

When Zhang Li stood in the hall of Dongsheng Building and waited for the report, he sneered slightly, it seems that Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet, is using a perfect hand for differentiation and co-optation.

"Master Zhang, my lord is invited-"

The voice of the little guy who went in to report before came, Zhang Zhang was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted that this "Master Zhang" was calling him.

But isn't it, now that he has been dismissed from his post as a citizen, what Lord Zhang and the like are only called that inside Tuanshan Fort......

Zhang Li retracted his thoughts, bowed his head slightly, and followed the little guy to the second floor of Dongsheng Building.

After going upstairs, Zhang Li raised his eyes to look at the corridor, only to see a row of delicate and small rooms appear in front of him, and the door of the room at the northernmost end. Standing was Zhou Ping, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion.

Of course, this person was known to him, and he was standing there at the moment. Presumably Zhou Yanru is inside.

Zhang Zhang smiled and walked towards Zhou Ping, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years......

Review your own gains and losses. After thinking about it repeatedly, it was decided to use the identity of the deity to turn the tables!

The greatest value of "Ye Tiancheng" actually lies in the imperial examination, and he can get the answers to the examination in his capacity......

Later, I also thought about using him to be the captain of the transportation team, but the ideal is very full, but the reality is ......

Xu Jingping came to play "Ye Tiancheng", there are really too many flaws.

Fortunately, although the profession of "Ye Tiancheng" in the Ministry of War has some real power, he is not ranked in the eyes of the important ministers of the imperial court, and no one specifically targets him.

Now "Ye Tiancheng" has also been dismissed due to illness. Lost its effect.

This line looks very good, and you can use the name of "the grandson of Mrs. Ye" to gain some political benefits, but-

In officialdom, profit is the most important thing!

Ye Tiancheng doesn't have the strength to give benefits to others, but he does!

Zhou Ping saw Zhang Zhang coming over, and arched his hand slightly: "Zhang ...... Zhang Tanhua, please come in! ”

Zhang Zhang was also a little helpless in his heart, his current identity. It's really hard for others to call ......

Zhang Li walked into the private room with his head held high, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Yanru sitting on the main seat on the north side of the room.

Zhou Yanru squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Zhang Li's side intentionally or unintentionally, holding the teacup in his left hand. With his right hand, he gently stirred with the lid of the teacup with the floating tea leaves, and in his hand it should be a freshly brewed cup of tea.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhang Li to be rude, so he stepped forward and bowed. Lang said: "Student Zhang Li, I have seen the ancestor of the old man Zhou!" ”

Zhou Yanru's slightly narrowed eyes flashed. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he brushed his beard and said, "Hmm." Not bad. Tension, the paper you will test is exactly what the old man reads...... You're the old man's student! ”

The meaning of tension is exactly this, in officialdom, it is very important to get closer to each other when you meet formally for the first time.

The chief examiner of last year's exam was Zhou Yanru, and Zhang Li had a natural teacher-student relationship with him. It's just that the previous tension was a little "jealous and hateful", and he disdained to recognize Zhou Yanru as his teacher.

Thinking about it carefully these days, I am still too young, or I have more blood and courage, and a little less belly black art!

That's why he was eaten to death by Wen Tiren and Zu Dashou - although Tuanshan Fort is getting stronger and stronger, he has lost something very important, his official position.

As the saying goes, if the name is not right, it is not good!

If you don't want to start from Tuanshan Fort and conquer the Acropolis of Ningyuan and Guangning all the way, then you must get the name of righteousness from the imperial court.

Although the state affairs are full of holes, the state still has taxes, if the annual salary of 10 million taels is handed over to Tuanshan Fort-

Why should Jiannu be afraid?!

Uh, that's still a long way off......

Zhang Zhang reined in his thoughts and said loudly: "The student Meng Lang was before, and I hope that my husband and ancestor will forgive one or two. ”

Zhou Yanru remained silent, looked at Zhang Zhang indifferently, and waited for him to continue talking.

Indeed, with Zhou Yanru's cunning and cunning, he must wait for Zhang Zhang to say what he intends before he will consider what to say next.

Zhang Zhang glanced at Zhou Yanru and said in a low voice: "Lord Zhou, the student came to visit your old man's house this time for the sake of the revival of the adult!" ”

"The old man's resurrection?" Zhou Yanru's eyes deepened, and his brows twitched slightly, as if he was not moved by the tension's words.

This is not surprising, as Zhang Li's current dismissal of an official, he came to talk about some "resurgence", isn't it grandstanding?

Zhou Yanru has been up and down in the sea for decades, so naturally he will not be easily used as a gun by tension.

Zhou Yanru glanced at Zhang Zhang and said slowly: "Zhang Li, the old man doesn't understand what you are saying. The old man's resurrection, can you still ......?"

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, took two steps forward, walked up to Zhou Yanru, and said meaningfully: "Lord Zhou, do you know the story of Ning Yuanbo?" ”

Zhou Yanru was taken aback, Rao is he was extremely cultivated, and the tea in the teacup in his hand also spilled out!

"Li Chengliang?!"

When Zhou Yanru said the name, Zhang Zhang nodded and looked at Zhou Yanru with a respectful expression.

Ning Yuanbo Li Chengliang was a veritable king of Liaodong during the Wanli period, and his military strength was very strong, and even the wild boar Pinurhachi knelt down to lick his old man.

In the late Ming Dynasty, when the generals were greedy and cowardly, and the border was abandoned, Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong for 30 years, and successively played ten great victories, and the prosperity of the border commander's martial arts was unprecedented in two hundred years.

When Li Chengliang was in Liaodong, in fact, there were not so many wars in Liaodong, but he always regarded all the Tartars, including Nurhachi, as a card in his hand, and he was not destroyed, and he was even awarded the title of Ning Yuanbo by virtue of his military exploits.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly a little dull, Zhou Yanru's expression changed several times, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "Zhang Li, do you mean to follow Ning Yuanbo's path?" ”

Zhang Zhang deliberately glanced at Zhou Ping, looking like he wanted to say something.

Zhou Yanru took the look of tension into his eyes and waved his hand at Zhou Pingyi: "You are waiting outside the room, no one is allowed to come in." ”

Zhou Ping said: "Yes, master." ”

After Zhou Ping went out, Zhou Yanru coughed dryly, and said to Zhang Li: "Zhang Li, if the old man heard it correctly just now, you mean ......?"

Zhang Zhang immediately rushed to whisper: "Lord Zhou, the resurgence of your old man is going to fall on the students." ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhang continued: "In the matter of Enke, the emperor did not explicitly ask for the crime, so it can be seen that the emperor also left some affection for Lord Zhou——"

This tension is a bit twisted and turned, but with Zhou Yanru's political sense, he must be able to hear a bit of mystery.

Zhang Liming said that the emperor gave him Zhou Yanru's mercy, but the actual meaning behind it was that the emperor saved face for himself, so he didn't talk about the Enke fraud case.

In other words, if Zhou Yanru seeks to recover, he does not have to start with the case of Enke's fraud......

Zhou Yanru's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes, and said to Zhang Li word by word: "Zhang Li, you talked about the story of Ning Yuanbo and Li Chengliang before, does anyone want to be Ning Yuanbo?" ”

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, glanced at Zhou Yanru meaningfully, and his eyes were full of expectation: "Ning Yuanbo succeeds, and he still needs to be in the court!" ”

Ning Yuanbo and Li Chengliang were able to be the "Emperor of Liaodongtu", which had a great relationship with his heavy bribery of Shen Shixing, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time. Xu Guo, the cabinet assistant minister after Shen Shixing, and Wang Xijue, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, were all fed by Ningyuan Bojin Mountain and Yinshan, so Li Chengliang was able to dominate Liaodong for decades.

Zhou Yanru looked at the tension coldly, if he was immediately moved by the tension, it was absolutely impossible.

Zhang Zhang is from the imperial examination, and he is not like Li Chengliang who came out of the army, I am afraid that it is more likely that Zhao Kuo is a soldier on paper......

Of course, Zhang Zhang understood this truth, but he had already thought of a set of rhetoric.

Zhang Zhang bowed to Zhou Yanru and said, "Student Meng Lang, dare to discuss Liao affairs, and the teacher and aunt listen to it in vain." ”

Zhou Yanru was expressionless, only nodded slightly, wanting to see what Zhang Zhang said, whether he was "Zhao Kuo" or not?

Zhang Li straightened his throat, brewed his emotions, and said impassionedly:

"Now that the war in Liaodong is going on, we can only stick to the strong city! The strategy of defending the city, in addition to the soldiers' lives, is the first to focus on Hongyi cannons. In the past, the people of Liaodong said that the Jurchen was not satisfied with 10,000 people, and they were invincible, but this statement was only half right! The field Jurchens are invincible, but what about the 100,000 siege Jurchens?! ”

That's a great deal!

Zhou Yanru stood up with a slump, his beard trembling slightly, obviously already moved-

Yes, as Zhang Zhang said, now Liaodong relies on artillery to defend the city, and the Jurchens can't attack it at all.

Zhang Li's "What about the 100,000 Jurchens" is not nonsense. During the Battle of Ningjin, Nurhachi gathered an army of 60,000, known as "130,000", and suffered countless casualties under the cities of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and had to retreat in defeat and suffer a great deflated.

According to Yuan Chonghuan, Nurhachi was wounded by his artillery and later died of his injuries. What is the truth of this matter, I can only ask the underground Nurhachi himself - but in any case, Jiannu has been in Chongzhen for at least six years, and there is nothing he can do about Jiancheng.
