Everyone has weaknesses, some people's weaknesses are obvious, and some people's weaknesses are deeply hidden.
There was not a single fuel-efficient lamp in the court, and seeing the wind like Ma Shiying made the helmsman often live longer.
Five years ago, when Zhu Dadian was the governor of Fengyang, he was famous for his greed in Jiangnan, and today he sits in the position of auxiliary, and he still can't get rid of this problem. He knew that he was calculated, but he didn't know why Zhai Zhe calculated himself, didn't they go out of Zhedong together?
Walking into the gate of the palace, Zhu Dadian's steps were very large, and he couldn't see a little timidity.
At least, he's still a court assistant for now.
Zhai Zhe stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet him, his face was slightly red, he had been recuperating by the West Lake for a month, and his complexion was very good.
The two walked straight into the living room of the University. After Emperor Longwu gave Zhai Zhe this palace, this was his first time to move in, and the Shang League had a lot of properties in Nanjing City, if it didn't have to be, Zhai Zhe would never choose to live in this mansion.
What is the "King of Datong", Datong is still under the rule of the Qing court, and Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, failed to satisfy him in his heart.
The servants hurriedly retreated after serving tea, there were no female dependents in this palace, it was more like a barracks, and Zhu Dadian didn't like it a little.
"Lord Wang!"
"Zhu Gebu!"
Zhu Dadian had a righteous face and spoke confidently, and first sued: "General Xiao of the Jingying Dynasty interfered in the affairs of the government without authorization, arrested Xinke Tanhua in prison, caused dissatisfaction and trouble, and asked the prince to manage his subordinates well. ”
"Really?" Zhai Zhe chuckled, "Why is what I heard different from what Zhu Gebu said?" ”
Zhu Dadian slowed down his tone and said, "Do you remember the scene where you and I stayed in Qianxian County together? His voice was low, as if he remembered the tired dead bodies at the head of the city.
"Of course I remember, the bravery of the Zhu Pavilion Department makes me ashamed!"
"Do I have anything to be sorry for?"
"Nope!"
It's really a tiger with three points of authority, and I can't see the slightest admitting defeat or flattering expression on Zhu Dadian's face, "Then please ask the prince to order General Xiao to hand over Hu Jincai to me!" ”
Zhai Zhe's face turned cold, and he asked, "Does the Zhu Pavilion Department know the significance of this opening of the department?" The Ming Dynasty recovered Jiangnan, it was the time to clean up the hearts of the people, didn't the Zhu Pavilion Department know the consequences of scientific research fraud? ”
"The prince is serious!" Zhu Dadian tried to hide the panic in his heart, "How can anyone dare to cheat in such a big matter as opening a branch to get a scholar?" ”
He knew that Zhai Zhe would not let himself go. Why did Zhai Zhe pull himself down from the position of assistant, Zhu Dadian couldn't figure it out.
Zhai Zhe was unceremonious, and said coldly: "I will play the Holy Lord, and I will investigate this matter thoroughly!" After the Holy Lord decides on the candidate for the chief investigation, I will hand over Hu Jincai. ”
Since Zhai Zhe didn't give face, Zhu Dadian didn't have to pretend anymore, and scolded: "General Pingyu, don't be too arrogant!" He had never been afraid of Zhai Zhe.
"See you tomorrow!"
After the two princes came to Nanjing from Zhenjiang, the scholars stopped making trouble and waited for the results of the imperial court's disposal.
Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong jointly signed a book, asking the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the fraud case in the scientific examination. The cabinet assisted Zhu Dadian to play and impeached Xiao Zhiyan, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, for capturing Hu Jincai, a new science detective, without authorization.
Ready to fly, had to.
Zhu Yujian couldn't wait to slap Zhu Dadian a few times, and the auxiliary position was given to him, so he couldn't control his own hands, and he was greedy for those few taels of silver. With Zhu Dadian's reputation, this matter is very likely to be wrong, and it is likely to be tricked.
The court discussed for several days, and before the case was inconclusive, Zhu Yujian did not dare to deal with Xiao Zhiyan, so as not to cause greater disappointment to the scholars.
Zhai Zhe played the book again, "The imperial court opened the science and took the scholars, which is the cornerstone of the country." Huang Daozhou is highly respected, Zhang Guowei is famous, and Ma Shiying is proficient in political affairs, please use these three people as the main judges, investigate this matter to the bottom of the matter, and give an explanation to the scholars of the world.
The three people he chose were very delicate, Huang Daozhou was Zhu Yujian's confidant, and Ma Shiying was the current cabinet scholar, and it seemed that no one would be offended. Zhang Guowei used to be the assistant of the king of eastern Zhejiang, and he had a high reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, and he had been idle at home since the accession of the Tang Dynasty.
On the 11th day of the first month, Zhu Yujian issued an order to summon Huang Daozhou to return to Nanjing from Huguang, and at the same time ordered Ma Shiying to be the chief official and Zhang Guowei to investigate the case thoroughly.
This case is not as complicated as imagined, Hu Jin only arrived in the lobby, and he didn't hit the stick, and he immediately recruited it clearly. He gave Zhu Dadian 50,000 taels of silver, he originally wanted to buy a champion, but he didn't expect it to become a flower. When the silver was sent, who to change the rolls, all the way to the clear offering. At his level, he couldn't write a volume like that.
Huang Daozhou still didn't know where to go, Ma Shiying only interrogated it for two days, and then checked the bottom of the test paper, and it was immediately clear.
The government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the position of Zhu Dadian's cabinet assistant was in jeopardy.
Zhang Kentang, the secretary of the cabinet department, and others jointly impeached Zhu Dadian, and the wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
Zhu Dadian's auxiliary position is easy to obtain. At the beginning, Zhu Yujian desperately hoped that Zhai Zhe would give up King Lu, and Huang Daozhou was burdened by the defeat, so he was selected as an assistant from the cabinet scholars in eastern Zhejiang, but the cabinet scholars from Fujian did not agree with him, and now Zhai Zhe, the general of Pinglu in eastern Zhejiang, took the lead in opposing him.
Only Zhu Yujian was unwilling to give up on him.
Because it is difficult for him to find a more suitable auxiliary than Zhu Dadian. Looking at the court, only the three people who had the prestige to serve as assistants were recommended by Zhai Zhe to be the chief judge.
The zodiac Zhou was stubborn, Ma Shiying left a lot of notoriety in Jiangnan during the Hongguang Dynasty, Zhang Guowei? That's absolutely not, I heard that he is most opposed to King Lu's abdication.
The situation was so deadlocked, and the emperor did not make an order for a long time, wanting to wait for Huang Daozhou to return to Nanjing before making plans.
Zhejiang and Nanzhili were scolded, and Zhu Dadian was like Ma Shiying at the beginning, sitting in the seat pointed out by Qianfu. But he still had a bit of luck and went to court as usual every day.
This man has a strong heart! Let Zhai Zhe admire it very much. But he just wants to change to an obedient assistant. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers.
Zodiac Zhou was unable to return for a long time, and on the twentieth day of the first month, nightmarish news came from Huguang. He Tengjiao's heavily guarded Yuezhou was lost without a fight, and Plug Yinxi could not be attacked for a long time under the city of Jingzhou, and was attacked by the Qing soldiers in an unguarded situation, and retreated to Changsha in a rout.
Jin Shenghuan did not move for a long time, and the flag of the Qing court was still hanging on the wall of Nanchang.
Zhai Zhe played, asked for orders to lead the army to aid Huguang, and clear the Jin Shenghuan department entrenched in Jiangxi. Soldiers and horses from all over the south of the Yangtze River have gone north, and the wind and rain in Nanjing are coming.
The scholars are raging, and the military town is raging.
Zhu Dadian was still standing in the court, and Ma Shiying, Zhang Kentang and others almost tore their faces with them, and the court discussion could not be carried out.
The prestige of the imperial court fell to the extreme. Zhu Yujian had to give an order to demote Zhu Dadian and return to his hometown in Jinhua, promote Ma Shiying to be the secretary of the military department and assistant to the cabinet, and Zhang Guowei to be the secretary of the household department.
Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong joined forces to express their support for the new cabinet. The two of them joined forces, and the court did not dare to offend again. Zheng Zhilong even dared to cut off the nose of He Kai, the secretary of the military department, in Fuzhou, relatively speaking, Zhai Zhe's behavior was much more relaxed.
After a year, Ma Shiying sat in the position of assistant again, still relying on the support of the military town. There were many dissatisfied people in all parts of Jiangnan, and the children of the Fushe began to spit on the eunuchs again. The strength of Ma Shiying's heart is not inferior to Zhu Dadian.
Huguang's defeat and Jin Shenghuan's silence put Jiangnan back into an existential crisis.
The first major thing Ma Shiying did as an assistant was to restart the war.
The decree was to mobilize troops and horses from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian to enter southern Jiangnan, with Zheng Zhilong, the king of Yanping, as the commander, and gather the soldiers and horses of Wan Yuanji, the governor of Jiangxi, to attack Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi.
Ordered the general Datong Wang Zhai Zhe to supervise Nanzhili and Zhejiang, lead the northern expedition to Jingxiang, and take charge of the war in the south of the Yangtze River.
These orders are not Zhu Yujian's true thoughts, but after He Tengjiao's defeat, he has lost the ability to play with Zhai Zhe and Zheng Zhilong, and the current cabinet is just a puppet of those two.
Zheng Zhilong came to say goodbye to Zhai Zhe, he would take 10,000 soldiers and horses, leave 20,000 soldiers for Zheng Sen to guard Nanjing, and 10,000 sailors to monitor Zhenjiang and the river opposite Nanjing.
The two have met since October last year and have been together for three months, and they are not good friends, but they have some understanding of each other.
For a long time, the two have been meeting friends with tea, and when they parted today, they finally had a wine cannibal.
Zheng Sen held a pot to pour wine for his father, and he seemed to like to wear white clothes very much, and his body was spotless.
Zhai Zhe hadn't drunk in a long time, and he couldn't even remember the last time he drank.
"If the king of Yanping can defeat Jin Shenghuan, the position of the general army of Guangdong is at my fingertips, and that's all I can do."
"Thank you General Pingyu, Qingyu is not easy to deal with, if you need my sailor to help, just ask."
Both were satisfied, and they both got what they wanted from each other before the alliance.
Gannan was sandwiched between Fujian and Guangdong, and Zheng Zhilong's command of the army against Jin Shenghuan opened a way for him to enter Guangdong.
As for Zhai Zhe himself, he wanted to go south to Jiangbei Prefectures, but he could only take it with his own hands.
Zheng Sen poured wine for the two of them, every movement was very steady, his expression was focused, and not a drop of wine would be spilled on the table, but he had been secretly observing Zhai Zhe.
Zhai Zhe's hands were as rough as his, Zhai Zhe's waist knife was dull, Zhai Zhe's alcohol consumption seemed to be very good, and that person might become Zheng's biggest opponent in the future.
He was originally very opposed to his father going to Guangdong, he used to study behind Qian Qianyi when he was a teenager, and knew the wealth of Jiangnan and the importance of Nanjing. But in the past few months, he has reacquainted himself with this place, and he has to admit that Jiangnan has been owned by Zhai Zhe, and they can only go to Guangdong again.
In late winter, the river water is not frozen.
Spring in Jiangnan comes early, and in another month, the willow trees will bud.
The rebel battle formation in Jiangnan is a little more proficient than last year, but it is still very risky to take it out and fight with the Qing captives. The Qing court stationed 40,000 troops in Yangzhou, and it was still a little early for Zhai Zhe to divide his troops to Jingxiang.
So, after crossing the river, several groups of merchants went north, and the war could not stop the merchant travel, and they were no different from other merchants.
