Chapter 236: The Oath of the Three Palms
Lu Xiangsheng's current official position is to participate in politics in the right of Beizhili, and rectify the military garrison of Daimyo, Guangping, and Shunde.
In other words, tension is a local military preparation road, and this Lord Lu is roughly equal to a part-time military preparation road in three places......
Moreover, these three places are all strategic points around the Jingshi, which is extraordinary.
Zhang Zhang is very clear that in the sixth year of Chongzhen next year, Lu Xiangsheng will soar to the sky, and he will be promoted to the right deputy capital Yushi, and the prime minister of Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, and Sichuan military affairs.
This is tantamount to a collection of commanders of several large military regions in later generations!
However, his opponent at this time was still the peasant army.
When the peasant army met him, he was stunned that he had not won for a while - it was recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty that 'the thief was frightened away, and the warning said: If you meet Lu Xiangsheng, you will die, and you must not commit it. β
Zhang Zhang looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile, and secretly thought to himself: Since Young Master Ben is here in Daming, Lu Gong naturally wants to mess with me!
Since it was the first time they met, the two inevitably exchanged a few words, and then Lu Xiangsheng stepped into the topic and talked about Liaodong.
Because Zhang Li has been running a plug-in for hundreds of years, he naturally knows a lot about Liaodong, and even Dolgon stole his brother's concubine Xiaozhuang, Zhang Zhang said that he had already found out.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't believe it at first, but the more Zhang Zhang said it, the more detailed it became, and later he couldn't help but be a little skeptical.
Liaodong's countermeasures, Zhang Li proposed such strategies as organizing and training a new army, streamlining the administration of elite troops, and self-sufficiency in Tuntian.
These tactics coincided with Lu Xiangsheng's, and the atmosphere of the talks became more harmonious.
There is a way to sympathize with each other, and during the banquet, tension and Lu Xiangsheng toasted three cups in a row, and the relationship is much closer.
As the so-called dazzling ears are hot, the spirit is born. When Zhang Li withdrew the banquet and was about to say goodbye, he began the first step of his own wooing plan.
Zhang Li glanced at it, and his face was slightly red. Lu Xiangsheng, who seemed to be a little overwhelmed, glanced at it and said meaningfully: "Lu Gong is a thief, he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and he will be promoted in a few days." β
Lu Xiangsheng frowned, shook his head and said, "The people are thieves, and most of them are hungry and cold; Soldiers and thieves. It is mostly due to lack of pay. What is the use of treating the symptoms but not the root causes? β
Zhang Li pondered that when talking to the ministers of the imperial court, it was good to have a little Chinese, not too vernacular, so he nodded and said: "Now that the country is worried about internal and external troubles, why can Duke Lu teach me?" β
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, Zhang Li asked himself how to deal with it, he pondered for a moment, and finally sighed. Not a word.
Zhang Zhang added another handful of firewood and sighed: "Most of the princes of the court are empty talkers. It's just empty talk, and it's still stumbling behind your back - in the long run, the country will not be a country! β
Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and after a while, he said softly: "There is no way in the country, and it will not change until deathβthat's it." β
Zhang Li felt some emotion in his heart. From a historical point of view, Lu Xiangsheng's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is also inevitable. It is impossible for him to establish any new China.
But if you are here, Lord Lu will no longer be 'foolish'.
Zhang Zhang looked at Lu Xiangsheng's eyes and said lightly: "Does Lu Gong know about Yue Wumu?" β
This is knowingly asked, Yue Fei's matter is known to children, how could Lu Xiangsheng not know?
Lu Xiangsheng was silent. Bow your head and say nothing.
The tension brewed his emotions, and he said loudly: "Since ancient times, there have been no powerful ministers, and the generals can make contributions to the outside!" β
Yes, the greater Yue Fei's credit, the more he was suspicious of Song Gaozong and Qin Hui. even ordered twelve gold medals in a row and ordered his class to return to the court.
Lu Xiangsheng was a little moved, and quickly stood up: "Zhang ...... Master Zhang, Xiang Sheng has been taught, but what can he do about it? β
Zhang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly thought to himself: It's too early to say anything, and it is impossible for Lord Lu to bow down, he needs to plant a seed in his heart, and sooner or later there will be a day when it will sprout.
Young Master Ben hopes that the 'Eight Princes' will shine through, and as soon as he raised his arms, the fierce generals and good ministers came to serve one after another!
However, that kind of bridge is too 'dragon arrogant', and it is almost impossible to happen in history.
Zhang Li's face was sad and indignant, and he sighed: "Lord Lu asks what to do, this official can only say don't talk about state affairs!" Lord Lu, this official went to Liaodong to organize and train a new army. If Lord Lu falls into a crisis in the future, even though the official is thousands of miles, he will also rush to the rescue! β
As soon as Zhang Li's words came out, Lu Xiangsheng's body trembled, and the eyes looking at Zhang Li were obviously different from just now.
Zhang Zhang decided to add the last handful of firewood, figured out the words of classical Chinese, and said passionately: "Li is alone, alone in the midst of great turmoil and tribulation, dying for all his life, and being entrusted with quelling the chaos for the imperial court." There is no one in the sea who responds to the same heart, only those who talk falsely! If you have the same heart, please start with Lord Lu! β
After saying this, Zhang Zhang stretched out his right hand and raised it high to Lu Xiangsheng's chest.
Lu Xiangsheng was so excited that he trembled for a while, he couldn't say a word, he stretched out his right hand and high-fived Zhang Zhang three times in a row-
This is the oath of the three palms!
β¦β¦
A few more days have passed in a flash, and since Ning Yuan has mutinied, Zhang Li must rush over as soon as possible.
At this moment, Zhang Zhang was riding a fast horse to Xiaoyue Villa.
I received the news that Liu Ru's condition has stabilized, and she should only need to recuperate and recuperate in the future, but she still needs to take a look for herself.
Liu Ru knew that her mother and 'wife' Ruochen were taking care of her, so she was terrified and resolutely refused, saying that she had a low status and would never dare to bother the old lady and Sister Ruochen......
Zhang Li felt a pain in his heart, and whipped the horse's buttocks hard, and the horse was in pain, and the speed of travel was a little faster.
After Zhang Zhang came to Xiaoyue Villa, he went straight to Liu Rushi's ward.
However, Liu Ru was not there, and the little maid who was waiting said that the old lady had arranged Liu Ru elsewhere, and Zhang Li had to go to his mother Song Xiuniang first.
After her mother Song Xiuniang was picked up from the city by Zhang Li, she lived in a side courtyard of the inner house.
At first, Zhang Zhang insisted on refusing, and he had to live in a better room for the elderly, but Song Xiuniang refused.
It turned out that the old man had lived in the countryside for half his life, and he was not used to the life of the Jingshi who came to the clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth.
Zhang Zhang couldn't help but sigh before - uh, they all say that people in the city can play, and I think my mother, a countryman, is also quite tidy!
Yes, even if she does gardening - well, it can be regarded as a rich and rich life in her later years.
Before Zhang Li walked to the door of his mother's small courtyard, he heard his mother and Ruochen talking from a distance.
'Auntie. What is this you planted? β
'Miss, this is spinach!' β
'Auntie, have you forgotten again?' Call me Ruochen in the future, I'm not a big lady......
'Oh, old woman, I can't change my mouth! Miss--Hmm, Ruochen. This is cabbage here! β
'Giggle, aunt, although I haven't planted it, can I not know the cabbage?' Giggle......'
That's right. Well, tomorrow I will talk to Miss Jingping and ask her to buy some chickens and ducks, my wife and I am a good hand at raising chickens and ducks! Look at your body, it's too thin, it's not good to give birth in the future! When the time comes, I'll stew you an old hen every day! β
'Oops. Auntie's words are ashamed to death, what kind of birth and non-birth......
Zhang Zhang almost had a nosebleed when he heard this, and after laughing, he coughed dryly twice, and said in a loud voice: "Mother, I'm coming to see you!" β
'Ahh β
Zhang Zhang walked into the side courtyard, and sure enough, he saw his mother holding Ruochen's hand and walking towards him.
Zhang Li looked at Ruochen. I saw her head bowed, and her little face was flushed. Obviously, the topic of mother's 'birth' just now is really a bit shocking......
Well, they get along so well, it can be regarded as saving Young Master Ben a worry.
Zhang Li smiled and saluted his mother, and said, "Mother, how about growing vegetables with Ruochen?" β
As soon as Song Xiuniang heard this, her face immediately fell. He reprimanded: 'What is it not to play?' Vegetables and grains are the lifeblood of our people, what do you say? What is that sentence called, I used to hear Liu Xiucai in the township say it - who knows the rice on the plate......
Ruochen chuckled and immediately corrected: "Auntie, who knows the Chinese food. It's hard work! β
Song Xiuniang nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Tsk! Sure enough, it's everyone's girlfriend, and even know this! β
Zhang Li's face was covered with black lines, and he lowered his head and admitted his mistake: 'Oh, my son lost his words, please don't blame my mother!' β
Zhang Li remembered that he had come to ask Liu Ru about her condition, so he said, "Mother, how is Ru's condition now?" Where did your old man put her? β
Ruochen lowered her head, but Song Xiuniang held Ruochen's hand harder: "Son, Miss Liu, I arranged it in the side hall of the back garden, which is quiet and elegant, which is conducive to recuperationβyou should hurry up and see Miss Liu!" β
Zhang Li said a sigh and turned to leave.
β¦β¦
In the side hall of the back garden of Xiaoyue Villa, Liu Ru was lying on the bed, thinking about her thoughts in a daze.
It was the young master who saved me!
The young master actually used the talisman technique to pull me back from the ghost gate.
Liu Ru's heart was hot and she sat up.
At this moment, a tense voice came from outside the house: 'Don't go down to the ground! β
Liu Ru was shocked, and turned his head to look at the doorβZhang was looking at himself with a smile.
Liu Ru was in tears, and the whole person was a little stiff and speechless.
Zhang Li's heart ached, he walked quickly to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding Liu Ruye's hand: "If so, it's my bad that makes you suffer." β
Liu Ru couldn't hold back any longer, threw herself into Zhang Li's arms, and cried bitterly.
After a long, long time, when Liu Ru cried and vented all the depression in his heart, Zhang Zhang said softly: "Never again." β
Liu Ru said in a trembling voice: 'Young master, don't leave me, I'm afraid......
As soon as he heard this, Li Li's tears fell and dripped onto Liu Ruye's face.
If so, I'll take the time to spend with you these days. I'm going to go to Liaodong next, then you are in danger, and you can't go - don't worry, my mother, Ruochen, and Jingping are all in Xiaoyue Villa, and there is absolutely no problem with safety. β
Liu Ru had already known that Zhang Li was awarded to Liaodong before, but all the female dependents did not go with him, so he was more balanced in his heart.
'Young master, Liaodong is so dangerous......
Zhang Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, I have my own clever plan, you don't need to worry. β
The two talked for a long time, and Zhang Zhang took Liu Ru to the back garden for a walk.
For several days, Zhang Zhang stayed in Xiaoyue Villa, accompanying the women.
The day of parting is coming, and everyone is very nostalgic for this last time...... (To be continued......)
