Chapter 17: Trouble After a Hangover

The next day, the Jingshi exploded, and the freshly baked Ningyuan general Wu Sangui was actually attacked on the streets of the Jingshi at night, not to mention the blue nose and swollen face, and was sprinkled with lime powder, if it wasn't for the patrol of the Terracotta Division to arrive in time and find vegetable oil to wash his eyes, I am afraid that this newly promoted young military attache will be blind from now on.

The imperial history of the city patrol did not dare to slack off, and reported directly to the cabinet. At this time, Zhou Yanru had not yet arrived in Beijing, and Yang Sichang had not yet left Beijing to supervise the division, so he was still respected in the cabinet. Because of the attack, someone with a heart had already reported Wu Sangui's private friendship with Zhou Kui, Gong Yonggu and others, especially Zhu Ping'an, to Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang didn't say a word, although Wu Sangui was recommended by him, but he was also the candidate of Emperor Chongzhen, and he was also the righteous son of Gao Qiqian.

Although Yang Sichang didn't say anything, in the blink of an eye, there was already a matter of impeaching Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Liaodong, for his military exploits.

Emperor Chongzhen issued an order, and His Excellency ordered a thorough investigation of the attack on Wu Sangui, which was really a situation of thunder and rain. Everyone didn't pay attention to the attack on Wu Sangui itself, but focused more on the surging undercurrent behind it.

Zhu Ping'an didn't expect that his unintentional actions would bring so many changes to the court.

Wu Sangui's promotion and the joy of beauty are good things in themselves, but the situation has taken a turn for the worse with the attack. In front of Yang Sichang, he was not a person inside and out, and his father was impeached, and he had been sent to the front of the palace by the cabinet and the celebrant of ceremonies. Chongzhen stayed in the middle and did not send it, giving everyone room to speculate out of thin air. Chen Yuanyuan, who had just arrived, was robbed again, and Wu Sangui almost vomited blood because of this, but he couldn't look for it with great fanfare, let alone sue the people of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen who came to investigate the case, etc., this tone could only be secretly held in his heart.

The person who raided himself was really inferior, not only using lime powder, but also whimsically using a sack cloth bag, ten family guards plus Wu Sangui, all of whom were among the best in the border town. But in the face of such means, he is like a child who has no ability to resist. Being beaten all over the head is a trivial matter, the key is that the soldiers and horses of Liaodong can't afford to lose such face!

Zhu Ping'an, as the first object of Wu Sangui's suspicion, was the first to be excluded by him, although the two had some festivals. But at the banquet arranged by Zhou Kui. The two can be regarded as having preliminarily resolved their grievances. And there was no dispute. If it is said that it is for women, it seems that it is not very likely, after all, the beauty was arranged by Zhou Kui. And it was also prepared for Zhu Ping'an, but his wedding date was approaching, and Zhou Kui and Zhu Ping'an did not want to make any extraneous branches. This has nothing to do with Wu Sangui.

Who could it be? Wu Sangui was puzzled.

It wasn't until the news came from the DPRK that the Yanguan impeached Wu Xiang that Gao Qiqian and Wu Sangui came back to their senses. Could it be that Yang Sichang and his party had already learned that they had contact with Zhou Kui and others, so they laid out such a series of tricks to take advantage of the situation to attack the forces of Gao Qiqian's party.

The more Gao Qiqian and Wu Sangui pondered, the more they were so truthful, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened. At the moment, Yang Sichang has not yet left Beijing, and his strength is still the crown of the court, so the two of them can only secretly endure this breath, but Wu Sangui can't help but be angry, such a beautiful woman has fallen into the hands of Yang Sichang and other dog thieves, it is really a tyrannical thing!

Like Wu Sangui, after last night's unintentional insertion of willows, Zhu Ping'an woke up and was also facing a lot of trouble.

"Did I really give the order?" When he woke up at noon, Zhu Ping'an's bedroom was still full of wine, he put down the soup bowl containing the decanting soup, and asked in disbelief.

Wang Jinfa suddenly screamed bitterly, and knelt straight to the ground, "My lord, even if the villain has the courage to make such an unauthorized decision!" ”

Zhu Ping'an's henchmen Yin Shigang, Cao Wuxian, and blind Shen Ke, who were in the capital, looked at each other, and at this moment, it was Zhu Ping'an's private matter, and no one dared to take the initiative to express any opinions.

Zhu Ping'an looked at the faces of his subordinates, and immediately understood the scruples in their hearts. I can't help but secretly scold myself for drinking and making mistakes, in my previous life, I caused a crossing because of the word "wine", but I didn't expect that in this life, I did such a ridiculous thing because of wine.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not a ridiculous thing, at least calm down, Zhu Ping'an can slowly recall the original intention of ordering Chen Yuanyuan to be robbed last night. Just now I heard Yin Shigang talk about the chaos in the Jingshi court because of this incident, and Zhu Ping'an suddenly had a feeling of wiping out his magic pen.

But this Chen Yuanyuan is the biggest trouble in front of him, and how to place it is quite a headache. Zhu Ping'an couldn't tell his subordinates, he knew early on that Wu Sangui, a kid, would "rush to the crown and be angry", and he did not hesitate to lead the Qing soldiers into the customs and poison my Huaxia country, so that he had to scare this group of subordinates to death.

Therefore, at present, Zhu Ping'an can only temporarily admit that he is unlucky and bear it. But if this reputation reached the ears of Mu Yuling and Mu Yanzi, thinking of this possibility, Zhu Ping'an shivered.

Zhu Ping'an was silent, and everyone knew that he was in trouble. They all set their sights on Yin Shigang, but Yin Shigang was helpless, thinking left and right, and had to take a step forward. "My lord, my subordinates don't dare to ask my lord what his plans are to snatch this Chen Yuanyuan back, if the adult is really embarrassed by this, the student has a mention, you might as well give it a try, maybe Miss Mu ...... there, but she can be perfunctory!"

Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up, "Sir, please speak!" ”

Yin Shigang arched his hand, "When the student first met Miss Mu in Jiading Bo Mansion, it happened that the eldest princess and Miss Mu Jia sent Miss Chen back to Jiading Bo Mansion, and later heard that this girl was sent to the palace by Jiading Bo with great effort, and was originally going to wait for the saint, but the saint was unmoved, so someone sent it back to Jiading Bo Mansion, and the eldest princess and Miss Mu were quite sympathetic to Miss Chen's experience, so they went to Jiading Bo Mansion together, and specially told Jiading Bo to treat Miss Chen well! ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I have heard for a long time that the director of Changgong is chivalrous and righteous, and he is quite manly. And she has a very personal relationship with Miss Mu, so you might as well find a chance to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, maybe she is willing to take on this difficult matter? ”

As soon as Yin Shigang's words were finished, there was a sudden plop at the door, and then the guards shouted: "Who is it? ”

Cao Wuxian walked to the door and opened the door suddenly, only to see Chen Yuanyuan standing in front of the door with a gloomy face.

"Miss Chen!" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Chen Yuanyuan held on to the door frame and slowly walked into Zhu Ping'an's bedroom, and Cao Wuxian retreated from the guards who came.

Chen Yuanyuan's face turned pale. I thought that I was rushing to thank Zhu Ping'an for his rescue, but I didn't expect to hear everyone's conversation in front of the door.

"It turns out that there is still no place for me in his heart! The so-called rescue turned out to be just to see that I was a weak woman and lonely. Can't bear to let me fall into the jaws of the tiger! Chen Yuanyuan was discouraged for a while. miserable walked in front of Zhu Ping'an and bowed down.

"The adult saved Yuanyuan twice and between fire and water, Yuanyuan was originally a mere servant, with a humble identity and a willow posture, he did not dare to expect to serve the adult by his side. But please don't embarrass adults. Yuanyuan has no relatives in Jiangnan. Adults but there is an arrangement. Yuanyuan obeys his fate! After saying that, the tears couldn't stop falling.

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan like this, Zhu Ping'an's heart was not happy. This beautiful woman with a beautiful country has a faint affection for herself. Zhu Ping'an can also feel it, but from his previous life, no matter how windy and snowy it was at that time, the tradition of staying with one person is deep-rooted. What's more, he and Mu Yuling have a deep affection, which is extraordinary, and at this time there is no plan to have one more person to join his love life.

Zhu Ping'an could only harden his heart and nodded, "Miss Chen, don't worry, this official will definitely arrange you properly, at present, the Jingshi is in chaos, Wu Sangui or Jiading Bofu will definitely inquire in many ways, for the sake of today's plan, only the eldest princess can protect you thoroughly, and you can stay with her for a while." If you are willing to go to Shandong in the future, this official will definitely help arrange it with all his heart! ”

Yin Shigang also said: "Yes! My family will soon go to Shandong to take office, in the future, Miss Chen is willing to leave Beijing, she can go to Shandong to settle down, the adults think of the girl's relationship with Miss Mu and the eldest princess, and will definitely be properly settled, will not let the girl be displaced! ”

Chen Yuanyuan choked up and nodded in agreement, and immediately Wang Jinfa and Cao Wuxian placed her in a secret place first, and waited for Zhu Ping'an to meet the eldest princess Zhu Yujiao. knew that she would have to be overtaken by her when she met Zhu Yujiao, but in order to solve the current problem, Zhu Ping'an could only bite the bullet.

Only Zhu Ping'an was left in the room, and Yin Shigang mentioned the next arrangements to him. Seeing that he was about to leave Beijing in the near future, Zhu Ping'an also made some plans in advance. The intelligence network in the Beijing division has begun to take shape, Zhu Ping'an first arrived in Shandong, and he urgently needs to be employed, and Yin Shigang naturally can no longer stay in Beijing, so the Beijing division is temporarily in charge of Ah Da under the current Yin Shigang, on the one hand, he is responsible for making friends with the magnates of the Beijing division, and on the other hand, he needs to send a steady stream of news about the Beijing division to Shandong.

Another point is that Zhu Ping'an told the Yin Shigang of the purpose of Emperor Chongzhen's placement in Dengzhou and Weihaiwei. "If there is turmoil today, His Majesty has sensed that the situation in the north may take a turn for the worse in a matter of years. Therefore, this is a rainy day, planning to set up a secret evacuation channel between Tianjin and Shandong, once the Beijing division changes, our Shandong soldiers and horses can use the sea route, land in Tianjin, join forces with Tianjin, and join forces with Tianjin to aid the Beijing division. Even if you can't save the overall situation later, you can escort the royal family to Shandong, or go south downstream, so that the clan will not ...... with the Jingshi! ”

Zhu Ping'an didn't finish his words, but Yin Shigang already understood what he meant. Suddenly hearing this news, Yin Shigang couldn't help but tremble with excitement, he really expected it to be good, in a few years, the world was about to be in chaos. This point was not only thought of by Zhu Ping'an, but even by the monarch of a country in the deep palace. It was also Zhu Ping'an's series of appearances in Fengyang and Julu that made Emperor Chongzhen notice his existence and entrust him with such important matters.

Yin Shigang can think that by Zhu Ping'an's side, the future will be promising.

Yin Shigang forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Congratulations to your majesty for trusting such an important matter. In this way, we have the full support of the imperial court when we act in Shandong, and the official position given by the imperial court to the lord is only the deputy chief soldier of Dengzhou. But with this major event, we can rest assured and boldly bring the whole of Shandong into our hands! Within a few years, forging a strong army, even if the troubled times come as scheduled, we also have the capital to compete for the world! ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled, "That's what I mean!" ”

Yin Shigang pondered for a moment, "Your Excellency can report to the emperor and request that the Central Capital be transferred to Shandong." Now there are only a few hundred people in the central capital, and the imperial court will inevitably allow it, so that the old soldiers who have been tempered by the war will be used as the foundation to recruit displaced people in Shandong. Within two years, it will be enough to pull up a team of 10,000 people. ”

"There are also the families of the soldiers who died in the war, and they will all move to Shandong." Zhu Ping'an added: "Zhongdu is barren, and I really don't feel at ease if they stay there." Their children died in battle, and now they have nothing to rely on, and if we wait for one to leave, there may not be a place for them. Shandong is full of wasteland, and it is just handed over to them to reclaim, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the soldiers who died in battle! ”

Yin Shigang stood solemnly, "My lord's righteousness! (To be continued......)
