The late spring sun shines brightly, spilling through the cracks of the emerald green willow trees.

Zhai Zhe followed behind the two officials in the military department, and his steps were very slow, so that the two officials in front of him had to deliberately stay behind to wait for him. Of course, the slow pace will be very steady, if he heard that Shi Kefa summoned him three days ago, Zhai Zhe would definitely be in the wind.

But after a few sleepless days of thinking, he figured out that people have to live in reality. He is just a general soldier, with 30,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 sailors under his command, but because he deliberately concealed it, the outside world's impression of Ning Shaojun Town was only 20,000, and the other 20,000 were raised by him at his own expense.

20,000 people and Zuo Liangyu's millions of soldiers, of course, can't be compared, so no one thinks of him.

In the spring of this year, the Jin merchants did not come to Jiangnan to book tea as before, and Li Zicheng's capture of Xuanda made the situation in Shanxi also confusing. At this time, smart people should hide at home, and wait for the situation to clear up and the era of war and chaos is over.

Then, he should be under pressure to raise these soldiers this year.

Seeing Shi Kefa this time will determine his position. It just so happened that he was in Nanjing, catching up with this support situation, if he was still at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, this back and forth, I am afraid that the throne has been determined, and he has not yet figured out the hidden situation. Since you have caught up, of course, you can't miss it in vain.

There were suddenly a lot of soldiers guarding the gate of the military department, and Zhai Zhe was still very quiet when he arrived here a few days ago, and the door was full of birds.

The little official introduced Zhai Zhe into the side room and left, without even pouring a cup of tea. After waiting for about half an hour, an attendant in green clothes came in from outside the door and said, "Chief Soldier Zhai, the cabinet lord has summoned you." ”

Zhai Zhe followed the attendant into the door of the right hall of the military department, and the attendant bowed his hand and said loudly: "General Zhai brings it." ”

A crisp voice sounded inside, full of breath, "Let him in!" ”

Zhai Zhe crossed the threshold and saw Shi Kefa sitting on the Taishi chair facing him.

"Meet the Cabinet-sama!"

Shi Kefa waved his hand to signal Zhai Zhe to stand on one side, bowed his eyebrows to the middle, his face was full of displeasure, and asked, "You sent two posts, do you want to see me for anything?" ”

"The saint is in trouble, the courtiers are sad, and the last general wants to ask for orders to go north and crusade against the thieves."

Shi Kefa's face paleled slightly, and he said: "The country has no owner, the matter of the Northern Expedition will be discussed for the time being, besides, half of your command is a naval army, how to go on the Northern Expedition?" ”

"For the country and the people, the only one who dies."

These few words were right to Shi Kefa's appetite, and he said earnestly: "Now that Nanjing is chaotic and the Lord has not decided, I will give you the approval today, you go to the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau to take away the bird gun and armor, and go back to Ningshao immediately, don't mix here, and when the Lord decides, he will summon you to go north." He really still regarded Zhai Zhe as his own person in the Donglin Party, and the armor and firearms granted to him were very generous, but if he was allowed to let the martial artists interfere in politics, it would be absolutely impossible, this was a matter of principle.

"I heard that Governor Ma supports King Fu, and Qian Ge supports King Lu, but I'm afraid that this matter will be settled as soon as possible to calm the country's heart." Zhai Zhe seemed to say this casually.

Just these two sentences, Shi Kefa's soothing face suddenly darkened, "The affairs of the imperial court, you can't discuss it freely, tomorrow you take the weapon, return to Ningshao immediately, if you stay in Nanjing to interfere in the government, I will arrest you in prison." ”

Zhai Zhe's heart was first frightened by him, and then he sighed secretly.

Although he guessed that this was the result before he came, he still had a little hope in his heart. Now, Shi Kefa put out a little fire in his heart with a basin of water.

"Shi Gebu, since that's the case, don't blame me."

Out of the gate of the military department, Zhai Zhe ordered Ji Hong to find a way to send a letter to Ma Shiying's mansion.

Ma Shiying is also a busy man now, staying in the capital of the two main people, although his reputation is slightly inferior to Shi Kefa, but it is impossible to bypass him in the matter of decision-making. This matter has been debated for seven or eight days, and there is always one side that needs to make concessions, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will not be able to do anything without an emperor. The thief went south at some point.

Back at the inn, Zhai Zhe first made himself a cup of tea to ease his mood, and then ordered Fang Jin to take Shi Kefa's approval and go to the Ordnance Bureau and the Military Bureau to receive the armor and firearms. When Fang entered and left, he asked Liu Suifeng to come over, put the reversi on the table, and prepared to kill a game.

He was calm, but Liu Suifeng on the other side was always restless, and half an hour later, he slaughtered a big dragon and threw himself in defeat.

"Adult ......"

Zhai Zhe raised his hand to signal him not to speak, and said with a smile: "I will go back to Ningshao tomorrow." ”

"That ......"

"You continue to do your thing, since you started, you have to do a complete set, whether it will succeed or not is another matter."

Liu Suifeng didn't dare to ask again. After a few years of getting along, he touched Zhai Zhe's temper very thoroughly. When the decision is not made, Zhai Zhe will ask various people for advice, but once the idea is made, he will only move forward bravely.

The two played another game of chess, but Zhai Zhe won, he yawned, showing tiredness, and Liu left with the wind.

After tonight, Zhai Zhe will leave Nanjing tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and Shi Kefa's words are not a joke. If a warrior interferes in politics and does not get the support of the courtiers, isn't that looking for death?

It was not until about midnight that a cloudy wind blew at some point, and the weather was clear during the day, and at night a cloud came up from the sky to block the moon. It was pitch black outside, Ji Hong returned to the inn like a ghost, knocked a few times on Zhai Zhe's door, and after a while, the two went out and disappeared into the dark street.

Zhai Zhe didn't even bring Fang Jin.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and the two of them walked quickly, going around and around, and when they arrived at the back door of a vast house, Ji Hong shook the door knocker.

"Tuk Tuk!" The brass ring hits the wood.

The small door creaked open, and out came a butler with a square hat and a lantern in his hand.

"Are you coming?"

"It's coming!" Ji Hong's voice was hoarse, and he led Zhai Zhe in.

The housekeeper bolted the door, and without asking, he led the two of them around the back garden for a long time, and came to a brightly lit house, "The master is waiting inside." ”

Ji Hong and Zhai Zhe glanced at each other, and retreated into the distance with the housekeeper.

Zhai Zhe walked up the steps and tapped a few times on the carved wooden door.

"Mr. Zhai, come in!"

Zhai Zhe pushed the door in, Ma Shiying was carrying a wolf hair, the ink on the rice paper on the desk opposite had not dried, and the word "Ming" was square and round.

"Da Ming is at the time of life and death...... Ma Shiying stopped, turned his head to carefully study the words he had just written, the muscles on his face shrugged upward, looking very satisfied, and then put the wolf on the pen stand, and then said: "The loyal monarch who shouts and resounds again on weekdays is all idle nonsense, and only at this time can you see who is the real loyal minister and who is the traitorous villain." ”

"Chief Zhai Bing, please take a seat!"

Zhai Zhe leaned over and sat down.

"Zhai Zongbing is a native of Zhangjiakou, and I also served as a governor in Xuanfu, but was later framed by the eunuch Wang Kun and dismissed from his post on the border, until Brother Ruan recommended Zhou Ge Lao to be reappointed. Somehow, it became a eunuch in a daze. Ma Shiying sat opposite Zhai Zhe and crossed Erlang's legs and opened the topic: "Recently, there are rumors in Nanjing City, and Zhai Zongbing must have heard of it. ”

Zhai Zhe nodded slightly.

"Then please ask Mr. Zhai to say that he is the king of blessing, is it wrong or not?" Zhai Zhe, as a member of the Donglin Party, came to his mansion in the middle of the night, and Ma Shiying's words had a sense of righteousness.

"King Fu is the brother of the saint, and it should be so!" Zhai Zhe nodded.

Ma Shiying laughed, "Sure enough, it is a time of crisis to see people's hearts." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, although I am regarded as the Donglin Party, I can't bear to see the southern capital being poisoned again when the country is in danger, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. Zhai Zhe's words were said extremely quickly, like a storm, as if a great danger was approaching.

Ma Shiying's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

Zhai Zhexian smiled bitterly and said: "Qian Ge is confused, and wants to support King Lu as the king with a virtuous name, if Wang Lu is sage, others such as King Lu, King Gui, King Tang, etc., who is not virtuous?" In this way, the vassal kings have the heart to reach the top, and it is inevitable that they will be used by people with ill intentions, so the non-blessed king cannot be the king. ”

"Mr. Zhai's words are deeply in line with my wishes." Ma Shiying looked at Zhai Zhe with a pair of eyes, and pricked up his ears to listen to his next words.

"The Shi Pavilion Department ordered me to return to Ningshao tomorrow, and someone sent me a message in the afternoon, saying that King Lu is now in Hangzhou......" stopped in the middle of the sentence.

Ma Shiying shivered, and the dangling Erlang's legs stopped, and there was something that didn't need to be said.

"I am a student of Inspector Lu, but I am also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and Ning Nanbo and I are both regarded as Donglin Party members......" Zhai Zhe only said half of the sentence. Ning Nanbo is Zuo Liangyu's title.

Ma Shiying got up from his seat and stared at Zhai Zhe.

"My teacher is loyal to the country and lives a giant deer, and I never forget to take him as an example." Zhai Zhe slapped the dark waist knife hanging on his side, "This knife was given to me by the teacher before his death." ”

"Chief Zhai Bing, a loyal minister!" Ma Shiying clapped his hands in admiration.

"As a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, I only serve the imperial court. Tonight's visit was very abrupt. Zhai Zhe got up and arched his hand, pointing to the word "Ming" on the table on the side, "Please ask the Governor to preside over the overall situation for the sake of the Great Ming." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhai!" Ma Shiying actually returned the salute to Zhai Zhe, "Come to sue tonight, and there will be heavy thanks in the future." ”

Zhai Zhe smiled slightly, turned around and said goodbye.

He didn't doubt Ma Shiying's words, a person who had carried the infamy of the eunuch party for Ruan Dacheng, a person who didn't know Zhang Pu and traveled hundreds of miles to treat his funeral after his death, no matter whether he was loyal and traitorous, he was still reliable as a friend. Even if Ma Shiying forgot about this night, he didn't lose anything.

It was useless to stay in Nanjing, and the next day Zhai Zhe received 3,000 bird guns and 3,000 armor from the ordnance superintendent, and went to the direction of Ningshao with a group of personal soldiers.

Liu Suifeng and Ji Hong are still staying in Nanjing, if they don't do the whole thing, how can they make Ma Shiying believe that no one can imagine that he, a general, is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

As soon as he got out of Nanjing City, Zhai Zhe dropped the queue of firearms, led two personal soldiers to hurry up and gallop.
