Yang Sichang has not yet left Beijing, but there is already turmoil in the Beijing court. A qiē originated from Xiong Wencan and Zuo Liangyu's defeat after defeat, Henan governor Li Xianfeng also mobilized reinforcements from the Henan army, and joined forces with Xiong and Zuo, but he didn't expect it to be three battles and three defeats. For this reason, Chongzhen had to urge Yang Sichang to go out of Beijing to command the army of thieves to quell the chaos.

At this time, Hong Chengchou had already entered Beijing, and was immediately worshiped as the governor of Jiliao, and was also in charge of Xuanda's military affairs, and the prime minister fought against the Manchus outside the Guan. Emperor Chongzhen was also full of hope for it, and ordered his commander Tang Tong, the general army of Datong, to go out of the customs, and join forces with the two divisions of Shanhaiguan Ma Ke and Ningyuan Wu Sangui, and stationed in Jinzhou. Then, the newly transferred Xuanfu general soldier Yang Guozhu, Jizhou general soldier Bai Guangen, former court guard chief soldier Wang Tingchen, Yutian general soldier Cao Bianjiao, Miyun general soldier Yao Xun and other soldiers and horses will arrive in Liaodong one after another as a backup. Wu Xiang, the former commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was dismissed on the spot and sent to Beijing to say that he was guilty of leading the army.

Wu Xiang's dismissal was also a kind of revenge for the betrayal of Wu Sangui and Gao Qiqian by Yang Sichang and his party.

and Yang Tinglin, who had openly confronted Yang Sichang in the court that day, as well as Zhao Guangluan and Huang Daozhou in the military department, were all degraded, which is also a kind of table for Yang Sichang to settle accounts after the autumn. Tossed until the beginning of June, finally suppressed the voice of a dare to object, Yang Sichang then commanded the newly recruited 10,000 soldiers and the 20,000 troops of the Beijing camp to go out, plus the soldiers and horses of the Northern Zhili troops gathered along the way, as well as the requisitioned Shandong Liu Zeqing's troops, the total strength reached more than 60,000 people, and the momentum was huge.

But Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Ping'an both knew that the combat strength of these 60,000 horses was much worse than that of the previous Xuanda Division. Among them, only the 6,000 men and horses commanded by Jiang Yunyi, Zhou Shifeng, and Xu Chengming, the former part of Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, belong to the real elite, and the rest of the combat power is ordinary.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sigh again and again, Yang Sichang's temperament of retribution is still like this, I am afraid that Jiang Yunyi, Zhou Shifeng, Xu Chengming and the soldiers of the department will not escape the fate of cannon fodder, but it is a pity that the Tianxiong Army, the soldiers of the Sanfu who bravely shook the world back then, will be wiped out from now on.

As Lu Xiangsheng's pro-soldier team, although Yang Dekai is also a military attache from the fourth grade, the military department has never given him an official position, so he can only waste his time. Lu Xiangsheng was about to return to his hometown, so he entrusted Yang Dekai and more than 100 personal soldiers under his command to Zhu Ping'an.

and Yang Tinglin, hearing that he was demoted to Jiangxi, Lu Xiangsheng was even more worried. He knew very well that Yang Tinglin was a temper that would rather bend, and this time because he was implicated, he was relegated to a position in a wild place, and if he wanted to recover, he would probably be at least a year or two later. However, the people of the Prince's East Palace remained strangely silent in this incident, as if they planned to ignore Yang Tinglin's departure from Beijing.

Lu Xiangsheng was very puzzled, and specially found Yang Tinglin to ask. But Yang Tinglin didn't reveal a word.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng could only turn to Zhu Ping'an for the sake of Yang Tinglin, hoping that he could plead with the emperor and bring Yang Tinglin to Shandong, so as to be closer to the Beijing division and avoid being thousands of miles away from his family.

Zhu Ping'an naturally can't ask for it, although this Yang Tinglin likes to go against himself, but he is really a practical talent, his knowledge and ability are first-class, if he is degraded to Jiangxi according to history, then I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the fate of a defeated and martyred country in the future, it is better to firmly grasp it in the palm of his hand now, and he can also take advantage of the situation to maintain close contact with Lu Xiangsheng.

Zhu Ping'an thought about it, this matter, it is not possible to beg Zhou Kui and Zhou Yanru, one of these two people only knows how to make money, and the other is the elder of the pavilion who is about to recover. It's better to go directly to Wang Chengen, anyway, this is the emperor's order, a qiē to do a good job in Shandong's mission as a priority, if necessary, go to Wang Chengen, and he will be responsible for solving it.

Things were unusually smooth, and Wang Chengen agreed. "No problem, then Yang Tinglin is the one who is in the eyes of Lord Zhu, which is naturally true, not to mention, he has also come out for adults before, and it is also appropriate for adults to express something!"

This sentence made Zhu Ping'an a little confused. Since the day Yang Tinglin got acquainted with him, he has not been pleasing to himself, how can he stand out for himself, where to start.

Wang Chengen put down the teacup slowly, "Oh, that's the case." Yang Tinglin had a dispute with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince some time ago because of the adult's affairs, and the grievances in our family needless to say, the adults should be able to think of it. Yang Tinglin insisted that the great man was an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and he would definitely do something in the future, so he persuaded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ......! ”

Wang Chengen winked at Zhu Ping'an, "Lord Zhu understands what our family means, right?" ”

How could Zhu Ping'an not understand. I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart. Although Yang Tinglin said that he raised the bar with himself when he met, but this person knew himself quite well, and he didn't expect that for these things for himself and the prince, he would actually stand on his side and speak up. It seems that this Yang Tinglin really values himself so much, and his efforts have not been in vain.

And that Zhu Cihong, now it seems that at least he doesn't have the mind of this emperor, Zhuyu is in front, he turns a blind eye to it, and rejects it for personal reasons, what can such a prince do!

Wang Chengen continued: "In addition to this Yang Tinglin, our family has also made a master for Lord Zhu. There is another person, our family also plans to send it to Shandong, and adults may wish to use it as appropriate. ”

Zhu Ping'an's heart sank, and he guessed that Wang Chengen was continuing to mix sand into his own forces and strengthen surveillance, but now he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree, "Father-in-law, please command!" ”

"Former soldier Langzhong Zhao Guangluan! This time, he was demoted with Yang Tinglin, our family will place a suitable official position, and let him go to Shandong together! ”

"Zhao Guangluan?" Zhu Ping'an was stunned. Isn't this Wang Chengen planning to place his eyeliner in Shandong? But how did such a person be placed?

Zhao Guangluan, born in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, successively served as the staff of the Ministry of War, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple and the Langzhong of the Ministry of War, his temperament is upright, fair and selfless, he likes military affairs, and he is heroic, but he is unscrupulous and fair. The last time he dealt with Yang Sichang, he and He Fengsheng helped together, but it was purely for justice, and he didn't have the slightest plan to plan for Zhou Yanru and himself. It's just that he was also implicated, and this time he was demoted to Guangdong.

Such a person is obviously not something that Wang Chengen can control, but how could Wang Chengen send him to Shandong?

"Chongzhen ten years, Zhao Guang served as the military department Langzhong, and then went to Jiliao to inspect the border affairs, traveling thousands of miles, for my Ming officials are unique, they are proficient in military affairs, but also know the military situation of the border towns well, and they can do their best to defend the enemy in the north. This person can be of great use! Wang Chengen said categorically.

Looking at Zhu Ping'an's confused look, Wang Chengen couldn't help laughing, "Lord Zhu doesn't have to worry too much. Lord Zhu, you are carrying a heavy burden of thousands of catties, our family naturally has to equip you with agents to assist, as for those supervision matters, Guo Chai is doing it as a brocade guard, but please rest assured, our family and him will not talk nonsense! ”

Zhu Ping'an was even more confused.

"Everything has a cause and must have an effect, and there must be a cause for the effect, and these things that our family does naturally have a reason, and when the time comes, adults naturally understand, don't be too entangled!" Wang Chengen slowly comforted.

Zhu Ping'an had to nod yes. Wang Chengen in front of him spoke eloquently, although what he said was like a thin layer of fog, but from Zhu Ping'an's intuition, the eunuch of the celebrant really had no hostility towards him. has made so many arrangements and arrangements that are beneficial to himself, Zhu Ping'an can only temporarily suppress his doubts in his heart.

"That's right", Wang Chengen suddenly remembered something, "That woman named Chen Yuanyuan is in your house now, right?" ”

This sentence almost scared Zhu Ping'an's three souls and seven spirits out, and he almost jumped up. Looking at Wang Chengen who was smiling in front of him, Zhu Ping'an suddenly felt as if there was no secret in his eyes, and his back was instantly stunned by a cold sweat.

"Young man, it's inevitable to see lust and be happy!" Wang Chengen suddenly put away his smile, "However, seeing that you and the daughter of the Mu family are about to get married, this is a marriage hand-picked by the emperor, and it is a little inappropriate for adults to do this!" ”

"This, father-in-law. There seems to be some misunderstanding in this, Xia Guan is not coveting Chen Yuanyuan's beauty, if this is the case, he will not wait until now. Xia Guan just had a holiday with Wu Sangui, and he drank too much that day, and his brain was hot, so he did this thing. Now I also have a headache, and I don't know how to place that Miss Chen! Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to answer.

Hearing Zhu Ping'an say this, Wang Chengen was relieved. Earlier, until this incident, Wang Chengen was still very worried, afraid that Zhu Ping'an would indulge in beauty and delay the big thing, which would also hurt the hearts of his old friend Mu Yanzi's father and daughter, but when he heard Zhu Ping'an say this, Wang Chengen knew that he was not lying.

"Leave people to us!" Wang Chengen thought about it carefully, "Wu Sangui didn't inform the Shuntian Mansion Yamen about Chen Yuanyuan's robbery, and he felt faceless when he thought about it. In addition, now that he has been ordered to leave the capital and return to Liaodong, but his father Wu Xiang will enter Beijing in a few days, this does not mean that their father and son can swallow this breath and not privately look for the person who did this and Chen Yuanyuan's whereabouts. Chen Yuanyuan is not a safe plan to be outside, so let's leave it to our family to arrange! ”

Zhu Ping'an bowed gratefully, "Thank you father-in-law for taking care of you!" But then he heard the meaning of Wang Chengen's words, "Father-in-law is saying that Wu Xiang will not be punished after entering Beijing?" ”

Wang Chengen nodded, "It's one thing for Yang Sichang to hold a grudge against Gao Qiqian and Wu Sangui for betrayal. But the emperor may not care about this, what the emperor cares about is that with one family and two general soldiers, plus an ancestor Dashou, won't this Liaozhen become their family? Therefore, in the name of recalling Wu Xiang back to the capital, if our family's expectations are good, it will not be convicted, but it is just to give an idle official position and let him retire in Beijing! ”R1152
