After picking up the wind and washing the dust for Xuanyangzi Daoist and Zhenru layman, Zhang Li settled the two in the courtyard where Jingping originally lived.

Zhenru lived in Jingping's wing, while Xuanyangzi lived in a side room opposite the wing.

Early the next morning, Zhenru called Zhang Zhang to the room early in the morning.

Now there are three people in the room, Zhenru lay man is sitting, Xuanyangzi and Zhang Li are standing. Zhenru layman's face was very ugly, and Zhang Li buried his head very low, not daring to look at him.

After being silent for a long time, Zhenru Lay sighed quietly and said, "Zhang Li, Jingping has written to tell me about that matter. Alas, I didn't expect that the mistakes I made more than ten years ago would be retributed to my daughter......"

Zhang Li's heart was stunned, uh, this, I can't explain it!

The monks pay attention to a cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is not happy--back then, it was really like a layman and a Xuanyangzi Taoist, but isn't that what it is......

Zhang Zhang retracted his thoughts and knelt down: "It's all my fault......"

Zhenru lay man sighed and said to Zhang Li: "You get up." It's already like this, what's the use of pursuing it? ”

Zhenru gave Xuanyangzi a look, and Xuanyangzi walked up to Zhang Zhang and helped him up.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Zhang Zhang stubbornly said to Zhenru Jushi: "Jushi, I have sent people around to inquire about Jingping's news, maybe it won't be long before Jingping can be found." ”

I don't believe this when I say it, let alone someone else?

It was really like a layman's frowning, and she didn't want to be too embarrassed. After all, what Zhang Li did was similar to the mistake he made at the beginning?

However, one thing is clear to all three people present, Xu Jingping is a smart person. Not an impulsive person.

If she took the initiative to leave Xiaoyue Villa, it shouldn't be a big problem. Just don't know why don't you leave a little message?

Zhang Li didn't want to continue to say anything, so he had to make a big salute to Zhenru Lay Priest and Xuanyang Zi Dao Chief: "Lay Monk and Dao Leader are waiting for good news in Xiaoyue Villa." If there is news of Jingping on the wind spirit's side, I will notify the two of you as soon as possible. ”

It was like a layman who pondered for a moment, and now there was no better way, so he had to nod and agree.

After coming out of the room, Zhang Zhang took Mu and Chaolu and rushed straight to the city.

Today, Zhang Zhang made an appointment with a few important people to go to the Red Temple Restaurant for dinner.

Yes, Red Temple Restaurant!

When Feng Ling reported the recent "gossip" about himself from the Jingshi, Zhang Li became angry.

Both ancient and modern. The power of public opinion is endless, and this tension is very clear. Moreover, the people of Shengdou are the most easily bewitched, if they are beaten as traitors like "Qin Hui", this Nima will not have to be mixed in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

……

The Hongmiao Restaurant in Dongjiang Rice Lane has been doing very well recently, and diners are very interested in the progress of the construction of the private room on the second floor - I heard that the boss used a lot of brass to make the kneeling statue of the "anti-thief" tension into a seamless style with the room, implying that the tension will never turn over.

At this moment, Zhang Li sat at a table in the furthest corner of the hall, ordering a plate of cooked beef and a pot of wine. A person drinks slowly and chews slowly, quite leisurely.

Chaolu and Mu pretended to be little servants and stood behind Zhang Li.

When I entered the store just now, there were too many customers, and Zhang Zhang didn't meet the shopkeeper. Instead, he walked straight to the westernmost part of the hall, and sat down in such a corner.

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to come up and say hello, Zhang Zhang asked Mu to order the food.

So. Now no one in the Red Temple Restaurant knows that tension is coming.

The hall was still full of people, and there were people talking about everything.

The Red Temple Restaurant has now become a gathering place for the Beijing Division to summarize lace news. Regardless of whether you have an identity or not, sit here. It's also good to listen to what people are saying.

At this time, several talents in the hall were talking about Zhou Yanru's resurrection, and Zhang Zhang was quite interested in this, so he pricked up his ears and wanted to hear what these talents thought of Zhou Yanru.

Zhang Zhang knows very well that Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren were both passed on by traitors in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", but the so-called "all the letters are better than no books", especially the Ming history cultivated by Zhang Tingyu, the mite pug, and others, the credibility has never been high.

Whether Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru are traitors or not, the tension can only rely on their own judgment.

Historically, Wen Tiren has attacked dissidents, and his methods are extremely despicable. During Wen Tiren's reign, the government was very chaotic, but it was basically under control. After Wen Tiren's resignation, the government was opened, and no one could control it.

Zhou Yanru is not as despicable as Wen Tiren, but his first assistant can't be Wen Tiren for so long.

Wen Tiren has been the prime minister for eight years, and Zhou Yanru can't stand it in two or three years, because the means are not as despicable and cruel as Wen Tiren.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this environment was not something that ordinary politicians could stay in, and whether they were traitors or not, I'm afraid only God knows.

Zhang Zhang suddenly had a strange idea, maybe if the "nine thousand years old" was in power, these civil and military generals would not dare to be so arrogant, right?

There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the kings!

Don't look at Gonggong Wei as a eunuch, it is quite experienced to clean up this group of garbage courtiers and generals. He thought he was the most awesome in the world, but he didn't even dare to let out a fart when he saw Grandpa Wei, and he still cultivated the ancestral hall for Grandpa Wei in Liaodong!

Zhang Zhang took a shallow sip of wine, and was about to pick up the dishes, when he heard someone in the hall talking loudly:

"In the same year, Lord Zhou was a good minister, and he was dismissed because of the villain's framing before. Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is wise and rehabilitates Lord Zhou in time, it seems that there is still something to be done in state affairs! ”

Zhang Zhang stopped his chopsticks and looked at the person who spoke.

I saw that Xiucai was wearing a blue scribe's robe and a square scarf, and he was spitting and flying with the scribes at the same table to "point out the country".

"Li Xiucai, Master Zhou is the leader of the Donglin Party, and he is a model for my generation of scholars! I don't know who you mean by the villain? ”

Li Xiucai glanced at the person who spoke, and said meaningfully: "Hmph! If the villain doesn't mention it, you naturally know who you're talking about next! ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall, and the "villain" Li Xiucai said was obviously Wen Tiren.

Zhang Zhang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he didn't have any interest in who was a villain and who was a gentleman, but he had a strange feeling about the style of speech of the Ming Dynasty.

Wen Tiren is the first assistant of the cabinet, a powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, and these little showmen dare to criticize him in front of the public, which is really a matter of embarrassment hundreds of years later.

"Li Xiucai, if that person is a villain, then our previous discussion in this Red Temple Restaurant is a little inappropriate."

"Oh? Ma Xiucai, what's wrong? What's the discussion? My Ming Dynasty has never been convicted for words, even if we say it wrong, it's not a big deal, Your Excellency is ......"

Ma Xiucai glanced at Li Xiucai and said loudly: "What was the first thing Lord Zhou did after he returned to the cabinet?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the full hall of diners was suddenly silent!

Everyone seemed to be avoiding something, but a person walked in outside the Red Temple Restaurant, and the man walked to the middle of the hall and said loudly: "The first thing Lord Zhou did was to sacrifice Young Master Man!" ”

"This ...... This sir-"

Everyone doesn't recognize him, but the six-grade civil official uniform he wears is known to everyone!!

That Ma Xiucai was a native of Jingshi, and he had a relationship with the person who came, so he immediately walked up to the person, bowed down and said, "The student has seen Master Chen!" ”

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly in the corner and gave Chen Zhengcao a thumbs up-tsk, Brother Chen came at the right time!

Before Chen Zhengcao noticed the tension, he walked to the table of the scholars and said loudly: "Are you here to discuss the matter of Lord Zhou's public sacrifice to the young master?" Tsk, the young master is loyal to the sun and the moon, and he is really a model in the army! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengcao sighed: "Alas, look at the young master Man, and then look at the gang of ruffians in Liaodong now......"

At this time, the hall of the restaurant immediately exploded, and everyone's emotions were ignited again......

Diners did not criticize the tension "thief" as usual, because now the direction of public opinion has changed!

It is precisely because of Zhou Yanru that Lord Zhou sacrificed the young master!

Young Master Man, that is, Man Gui, was posthumously awarded the title of "Young Master" by Chongzhen after he died in battle!

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Tartars entered the Koujing Division, and Man Gui was the king of Qin with Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou, and was summoned by Chongzhen. Man Gui unbuttoned his shirt and showed Emperor Chongzhen the scars on his body, and Emperor Chongzhen expressed his deep admiration.

Man Gui is not a subordinate of Yuan Dudu, he and Yuan Du Du are quite disagreeable, so after Yuan Du Du was imprisoned, Emperor Chongzhen gave Man Gui wine and food, and ordered him to prime minister Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan's army and camp outside Anding Gate.

Later, Man Gui said that he would hold the city and not fight with Jiannu. And Chongzhen once again showed "outstanding" military talent, he crowned Man Gui as Wu Jingluo, commanded all the troops who came to defend the Beijing Division, gave Man Gui Shangfang a sword, and urged him to send troops to fight.

Under such a "killing", the emperor added Mangui as a martial arts strategy and returned the sword to Shang Fang, do you dare not send him to death? !

Man Gui had no choice but to lead his troops to a decisive battle with Jiannu in the field, and the result was naturally hehe-Man Gui finally died on the battlefield.

After Emperor Chongzhen heard that Man Gui was killed, he was extremely sad, and sent Xu Guangqi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites at that time, to pay tribute to Man Gui, posthumously present Man Gui as a young master, and seal his descendants as hereditary brocade clothes. The imperial court gave a funeral, and later built an ancestral hall for Mangui and held a public sacrifice.

Zhang Zhang frowned slightly and sighed: There is no shortage of good ministers and fierce generals in the Chongzhen Dynasty, but unfortunately they were all killed by the "wise and martial" emperor......

Zhou Yanru is now holding a public memorial ceremony for the Manchu Young Master with great fanfare, naturally he does not have any good feelings for the Mangui who has already entered the ground - his crime is to collude with the Northern Captives, that is, to collude with the Mongols, and this Manchu Young Master Mangui is a Mongolian!

The drunkard's meaning is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers!

Exactly!

If you want to clear your name for "overturning the case", you need to sacrifice the killer feature of "Young Master Mangui". The Mongols also have good people, you see, isn't Master Mangui a Mongolian, how loyal to the country! (To be continued.) )
