Chapter 432: King Qin (2)
Regarding Zheng Guobao's whereabouts, Zhang Whale and the uprising expert from Banzhou, the nine-headed horse Ma Longxiang have made several deductions. Cao Ding in Fengyang, Li Valve in Liaodong, or Hetaowei in Shaanxi, and Bibai who now lives in Xi'an Mansion are all calculated. The only thing he didn't expect was that he dared to go home directly, didn't he know that his current identity was to kill the Qin prisoner who escorted Jinyi and escaped from prison?
"Then what else do you want to report to me? Why don't you bring someone to arrest him? Zhang Whale looked at the fan who came to report the news, and scolded loudly, for fear that this time, Zheng Guobao would disappear like the world had evaporated.
"But the British Duke and the Marquis of Funing are all thousands of years old, and the villains don't dare to do it."
Long Xiang said aside: "Without further ado. Since Zheng Guobao has died himself, this is also the heavens that want to kill him. Let's hesitate for something, hurry up and order someone to take him down. Those two nobles are all dead tigers, where do they come from? If you dare to block the office of the East Factory, you will take it together. ”
"Dragon horse, don't be so reckless in this matter." Zhang Jing hurriedly stopped him, "You are a colt from Banzhou, and you don't know much about my Ming system." These two nobles have Danshu iron coupons in their families, and they are hereditary and retired with the country. Even the Queen Mother has to give three points to them, if we really order someone to arrest them, it will be no different from rebellion. These two Chitose are all leading soldiers, especially the British Duke with the three battalions of the Beijing Division, there are many old ones in the army, as long as he gives an order, those battalion soldiers can eat us alive. What kind of hypocrisy is your words to the Cabinet Council, you can't scare Qiu Ba. ”
"Then according to Zhang Dugong's opinion, what should we do? Do you just watch him at ease under our noses? We can't help it? ”
"The reason why I ordered people to strictly guard the various routes into Beijing is to kill him outside Beijing. Once he entered Beijing, it would not be easy to do. Now I have to go to Cining Palace again, and then ask the old lady to make a decree, and the three law divisions will come forward to arrest Zheng Guobao. The dragon and the horse will stay here for a while, and I will go back as soon as I go. Come on, prepare the horses! ”
Watching Zhang Whale take people out, Long Xiang shook his head and sighed, "It's too procrastinating, it's really too procrastinating." This kind of thing. What you want is one fast and three slow. As a result, he was sluggish, timid, and regarded major events as child's play, which was simply self-defeating. He instructed the servants around him, "Hurry up and gather our people." Zheng Guobao returned to Beijing. Maybe it's time to get the real thing. Get them ready. Do what I command. ”
Inside Zheng Guobao's house. Shen Wanying has always been dressed as a wife these days, sitting in the center with a calm face. Without the slightest emotion, it seems that even if the sky falls, she doesn't care at all. Several women from the noble family who lived with her all had the temperament of a tiger girl, all dressed in drapes, with swords and swords, accompanying them on both sides, like personal guards.
Waiting for Zheng Guobao to come in from outside, Shen Wanying no longer had that calm appearance, regardless of the fat clothes, got up to salute, and then rushed all the way towards Zheng Guobao. But when the long skirt stumbled, her feet slipped, and the person threw herself straight to the ground, but fortunately someone had already flown forward and held her up. "Mrs. Shen, be careful."
Shen Wanying didn't care who the person who helped her was, she just said thank you, and then still ran towards Zheng Guobao, who had already come to her in three steps and two steps, and held her in his arms. "Wanying, these days, I've suffered you."
"It's not bitter, as long as she sees Xiang Ping'an coming back, Wanying has nothing to complain about. These days, I have nightmares every night, just afraid that Xianggong will fall for Zhang Whale's plot. If anything goes wrong with you, I won't live. ”
She strictly follows her identity in every word and deed on weekdays, almost like a wooden person who is not happy or angry, today she revealed her true feelings, regardless of the many people around her, buried her head in her husband's chest, and her tears soaked Zheng Guobao's placket. British Gong Zhang Yuangong laughed and said: "Shen Weng's good daughter, these days are strategizing and supporting the court, Zhang Whale's old gelding dog has not taken any advantage from your family." Today, it seems that she is not only a good helper, but also a good lady. ”
Shen Wanying still leaned in her husband's arms for a long time before leaving her arms and giving Zhang Yuangong and Zhu Lin all salutes. Seeing that the one who had just helped herself was a stunning woman of about thirty years old, with a sword at her waist and a heroic face, standing beside her husband, although there was no intimate manners, but from a woman's intuition, she also decided that the relationship between the two was probably not as simple as the guard and the master. Besides, with her understanding of her husband, even if she is really a female guard, with this appearance, she will not be a female guard sooner or later.
"This is the head of the Wuyue faction, Ning Zhong Zening Woman, the new deputy leader of the martial arts league, the top 100 masters of martial arts, and the first place in the women's group. I trekked through mountains and rivers along the way, and I relied on Sister Ning to protect me. ”
Under the introduction of Zheng Guobao, Sister Ning was said, and Shen Wanying even concluded that there was something between the two. But now she has no time to be jealous, as long as her husband comes back intact, it is better than anything. After a few people sat down, Zheng Guobao thanked the daughters of several noble families one by one, and it was precisely because of these people that Zhang Whale did not dare to use force against the Zheng family these days. As for Zheng Chengxian's side, it was because before the accident, Zheng Guofan married the daughter of Wu Qingbo's family, Zheng Chengxian and Empress Dowager Li became in-laws, no matter how big the crime Zheng Guobao committed, Zhang Whale did not dare to propose to attack Zheng Chengxian. The middle palace of the Ming Dynasty was born in a small family, and the most important thing was clan affection, and taking Zheng Chengxian was to slap the face of the old queen mother, how dare Zhang Whale do it?
"Zhang Whale's side, it's not that he hasn't sent killers to attack our people. But the guards in our house are not vegetarians. There were also people and horses from the Jinyi Guard, and they exchanged hands a few times in private, but Zhang Whale didn't pick a bargain. ”
Shen Wanying calmed down her feelings, returned to the identity of the eldest wife of the house, and reported the situation of these days to her husband. "Our children are also very safe, and several women who practice martial arts in the Beijing Division have been invited by me to the inner house to be our guards. Coupled with the peripheral manpower, there are also a few Chitose family guards, if you use force, you are not afraid of the fans of the East Factory. ”
Zhang Yuangong also said: "Zhang Whale, the dog minion, actually forgot the identity of his own family slave and wanted to attack his master. It's your own death! Even when Feng Bao was in power, he didn't dare to do anything to our nobles, and further back, Liu Jin, who was known as the nine-thousand-year-old emperor, also did not violate the river water with our well water. But he Zhang Whale actually wants to plot against his uncle, as soon as this wind opens, will the nobles of the world still have a way to live? I heard that he colluded with the Banzhou Yang family again, most likely because of bad intentions. It's good for my uncle to come back, let's ask for a holy decree to arrest the old eunuch slave, peel the skin and grass, and set an example. ”
Since the civil and engineering changes, these nobles have gradually lost their position to speak in the Ming Dynasty. Even Zhu Yingzhen, the Duke of Chengguo, committed suicide by the hanging beam of the civil officials, which can be called a great shame for the Ming Dynasty. Since Zheng Guobao became the uncle of the country, he has been kind to the nobles and helped them make a fortune. Everyone joined hands to do business, whether it was the five-port trade, the open sea trade or the Yangzhou salt ticket, the interests of the two were deeply involved. They have formed an alliance of interests that both prosper and lose.
Zhang Jing is not only attacking Zheng Guobao this time, but also challenging the overall interests of Xungui Group. It has been revealed that a group of civil officials headed by Li Shida, the secretary of the Criminal Department, began to actively plan to abolish the new policy of Yangzhou's salt industry and change back to the past salt system. and invited a few merchants back to take charge of the salt industry. If this law is carried out, the salt tickets that the nobles held in their hands before will become waste paper, who can bow their heads?
Banzhou's use of military force was also seen by the nobles as a good opportunity to gain military merit for their children. Although they have faded out of the court for many years, they are still martial artists in their bones. The way for a warrior to make a career is to fight. The civilian officials were afraid of the strength of the military and avoided the war as much as possible, and in turn, the soldiers of the empire had to think of ways to fight, otherwise how could they change their positions and change their future for their children and grandchildren? Therefore, when the conflict between Zheng Guobao and Zhang Whale broke out, the nobles stood on Zheng Guobao's side, and Zhang Whale was placed on the opposite side.
"A few Chitose, don't rush into the palace first, I want to ask, what is going on here, what happened to Jingshi these days?" (To be continued......)
