Chapter 984: Changes in Shanxi (I)
The next morning, Yongchun, who had just become a bride, still had a lot of shyness and discomfort, and after seeing her sister, she didn't say a few words, she was already blushing and didn't dare to look at people. Yongshou joked a few words, and threatened to call her a little mother by Tianci.
Tianci and Yongchun are very close to each other, chasing his aunt all day long, although he has a stubborn temperament, but he sells cute, he is still very lethal, and Yongchun also likes to tease him the most. This kind of thing naturally can't be let him know, just as soon as he says it, Yongchun's face is red with shame, and he doesn't dare to look up. Zhu Xiuchang did not relent, "Our sisters, my sister has taken care of you since I was a child, I will stand up for you in everything, and I will share you with all good things." This time, even my man has been divided by you. I'm getting older day by day, but you are a newcomer and being favored, and it won't be long before no one wants me to be old, so I can only hold my son, but I can't hold my father-in-law. ”
"Hug together, hug together." Yang Chengzu opened his big hand and hugged the two sisters into his arms together, if he didn't consider the consequences, hugging the two princesses left and right can be regarded as the ultimate enjoyment in the world.
Yongshou and Yongchun are sisters after all, even if they eat a little vinegar, they are different from others, and they don't tease her after telling a few jokes. handed over the child to the palace maid, pulled Yongchun aside and asked a few words, chased and beat her sister with a red face, and finally was held in Yang Chengzu's arms again.
Yang Chengzu, an official, was originally lazy, and he was often absent from work in the court on weekdays, but today he handed over a fold to the court as usual to say that he would not go to the court. He has the ability to tease women, telling stories in Yongshou Mansion, fiddling with musical instruments, playing and singing, and making the two sisters laugh.
At noon, Zhang Zuo came from the palace and came directly to Yang Chengzu. He is a smart person, he always understands the truth of seeing through and not saying it, even if the relationship between Yongshou and Yang Chengzu tends to be clear now, he always has to avoid the eyes of the minister, this method of looking for people is really a bit reckless, and it is not in line with Jiajing's daily habits. It is precisely because of this abnormality that Yang Chengzu is sure that there must be some important things here, but he attaches great importance to it.
"Dadu Governor, ah no, I have to call you Master Ma here, the matter is really a bit urgent, long live in a hurry to call you over. The slave and maid are also in a hurry, but you can rest assured, the slave and maid are all arranged, and they will not be touched. Things don't wait for anyone, we still have to enter the palace urgently. ”
On the way to the palace, Zhang Zuocai introduced to Yang Chengzu that the matter was on Guo Xun's side. Shanxi Patrol pressed Ma Lu and reported to the imperial court, Taiyuan Wei commanded Zhang Yin, who was actually the head of the White Lotus Sect, Li Fuda, under a pseudonym. Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, not only failed to be loyal to his duties and visited the anti-thieves, but colluded with the anti-thieves and shielded Li Fuda and his criminals.
Guo Xun went to Shanxi on the order to train the New Army, and because the New Army of the Fifth Battalion in the southeast was shining brightly, Jiajing specially ordered the training of the 10th Battalion of the New Army in Shanxi. Although these 10 battalions are trained in the way of the Southeast New Army, although they are not as eye-catching as the Southeast New Army, they are also used as the future Son of Heaven's own army, and they have paid great attention to it. In terms of funds, it was a sum of money from the Jin merchants, and the soldiers of the ten battalions had sufficient food and salaries, excellent equipment, armor and weapons, which were better than those of the border army. Guo Xun has seen Yang Chengzu training in the southeast, and he is a veteran who has really led soldiers to fight, long live I hope that he will train a strong army.
It is said that in the training of the new army, Zhang Yin held an important position, held a high position, and was regarded as Guo Xun's first assistant in Shanxi. If he is really the leader of the White Lotus Sect, then these ten battalions of the new army are more suspicious, maybe there are many people in it who are White Lotus Sect disciples, mixed into the official army, and intend to rebel.
Guo Xun wanted to make some achievements for the emperor this time, and he didn't have the idea of eating empty quotas and drinking the blood of soldiers, and recruited soldiers according to the establishment of ten battalions from the beginning. With the combat effectiveness of the new army in the southeast, the rebellion of ten battalions of men and horses was enough to erode several provinces. As soon as this twist and turn came on, even Jiajing couldn't sit still, and was anxious to discuss countermeasures with Yang Chengzu.
According to this kind of thing, even if Guo Xun is arrested first, it can't be said that it is wrong, if the matter is true, even the nobles who are retired with the country will be very troublesome. Zhang Zuo revealed this secret, that is, to let Yang Chengzu have enough time to think things through, and if he really can't do anything, he has to break his wrist and make a good break as soon as possible.
If it is because the Guo family is involved in the White Lotus case, Yang Chengzu proposes to divorce his wife, in fact, it cannot be called unkind, on the contrary, it can be regarded as a righteous annihilation. In fact, before Leng Feishuang separated from Yang Chengzu, he also completely leaked the identity of the White Lotus Sect Leader to Yang Chengzu.
But before he could react, after entering Beijing, he heard that his father-in-law went to Shanxi to train soldiers, and then learned from the ninth sister that it was this Zhang Yin who Guo Xun was helping in Shanxi. The wood has been completed, Zhang Yin, the anti-thief leader, has landed on his father-in-law's dock, if he calculates carefully, he even has to be in his own camp, and if he wants to arrest people recklessly, he is likely to involve Guo Xun.
Considering these factors, he chose to hold back, anyway, the White Lotus Sect would not rebel immediately at the moment, but he thought about putting things off until he found a suitable solution before making a decision. Unexpectedly, without waiting for him to make arrangements here, Zhang Yin actually had a case, in addition to saying that the world is unpredictable, I really don't know what to do.
Zhang Zuo said: "Governor, the slave knows that you are a person who values affection and righteousness, but you also have to divide matters into matters that are important to affection and righteousness, this kind of thing involves the White Lotus Sect, if you don't do it well, it will also involve rebellion, but you have to weigh it yourself." Guo Qiansui is in Shanxi, and he is ordered to train soldiers, this kind of thing can be big or small, you know it in your own heart, and you don't need to say anything more about the slaves. I only advise you to let go when it's time to let go, people don't do it for themselves, and heaven and earth will be destroyed. ”
Yang Chengzu didn't say anything, but followed him into the palace, Jiajing had already dispersed at this time, with lunch in front of him, and when he saw Yang Chengzu coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Big brother, have you ever eaten?" Come over and eat a little together. I heard that you are not feeling well, I don't know if you are better, I have a doctor here who can help you cut your pulse. ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister's body is fine, I don't know what to call him."
Jiajing was very calm, "I can't talk about any instructions, I just feel that I am bored to eat alone, and I want to find my eldest brother to have a drink and talk." The third brother is about to enter Beijing, and when he enters Beijing, our brothers will have a few drinks together and catch up with the old days. Come and sit down. Zhang Zuo, go get a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and then you can go out, if you don't have me, you are not allowed to come in. ”
When Zhang Zuo withdrew, Jiajing beckoned Yang Chengzu, and the two of them ate about one-third of the banquet. Jiajing didn't say it, and Yang Chengzu didn't ask, just talked about life after marriage and gossip in the palace. Jiajing seemed to be still immersed in the joy of being newly married, telling Yang Chengzu from time to time about his love with Xue Niang, and discussing which daughter he would marry after his son was born.
It wasn't until the wine and dinner were almost eaten that Jiajing seemed to say unintentionally: "Visiting the White Lotus Demon Sect, all over the country has been doing it, right?" Shanxi, what news is there? Are there many demon cult believers there, is there a big trouble? ”
