After eating a banquet for two hours, Xiao Zhiyan didn't drink much, and drinking with these people had to pay attention to many etiquettes, which couldn't make him happy, so it was better to find Gu Mei at home to accompany him.
Compared with Zheng Sen, he is like a vulgar country man, who doesn't understand anything, and is far from the same in terms of dress taste.
Xiao Zhiyan felt that he was accompanying these people, and these people felt that they were accompanying Xiao Zhiyan. A group of people is uncomfortable in their own way. After the banquet, Xiao Zhiyan was dragged by the palace guards to teach bow and arrow, Zheng Sen was not in a hurry to leave, and Ma Shiying was left behind, and several other cabinet scholars spoke accompanied by several fathers-in-law in the palace.
The houses in the palace were continuous, and it was impossible to distinguish the road, so Ma Shiying and Zheng Sen turned into a side hall under the guidance of the little eunuch.
Emperor Longwu changed his clothes and was already waiting inside.
The little eunuch withdrew automatically, leaving only three people in the temple.
The two of them saluted in turn, "Meet Your Majesty"
Emperor Longwu's expression was stern, like a gentle argument between the two of them at the banquet, and said, "Zhai Zhe is coming back."
Ma Shiying looked at Zheng Sen, and Zheng Sen looked at the sky with both eyes.
"Yes, the general is coming back," Ma Shiying responded. He uses this title to hint at his attitude.
Both of them knew the purpose of Emperor Longwu's summoning them, but if this matter failed, it would be a catastrophe for the death of the clan. Ying Tianfu's affairs can't be hidden from these three people, Ma Shiying can assist Emperor Longwu in many things, but he will never personally intervene in the assassination, because the gain and the effort are disproportionate. He was indeed an assistant with no real power, but it was not enough to β₯ him to risk the life of his entire family for this.
Emperor Longwu looked at Zheng Sen again, Zheng Sen's posture was extremely deferential, and he looked down at the ground.
Two wooden men and one indignant man. They both wanted each other to step up, but they were all disappointed, and the most disappointed was of course the person in the highest position.
"Zhai Zhe is coming back," Emperor Longwu repeated.
"It's a pity" Zheng Sen squeezed out a smile, "The general didn't capture Xiangyang"
A vicious look flashed on Emperor Longwu's face, and he said: "None of you want to quit about this matter, the matter has come to this, we are all in the same boat." As an emperor, he said such a thing, and there was a trace of sourness in his heart.
"The Assassination Strategy"
Zheng Sen and Ma Shiying looked very uncomfortable at the same time.
"The assassination is up to me, after killing Zhai Zhe, please ask the two to help defend the city of Nanjing, and I will tell the world again that Zhai Zhe conspired to rebel" Emperor Longwu said very slowly, word by word, word by word. Ma Shiying heard the straight hair in his heart, Zheng Sen's head slowly raised, and the sight of Emperor Longwu flashed.
Zheng Sen and Ma Shiying want to get more power, and this matter is related to the Zhu family. Zhu Yujian had a feeling that if he missed this time, he would never have a chance to reverse Zhai Zhe.
The day's gathering lasted for a long time, and it was not until late evening that the five scholars of the cabinet and the two chief soldiers of the Beijing camp had to leave the palace empty.
Xiao Zhiyan returned to the General Military Mansion, and a messenger from the General's Mansion arrived, informing the General Zhai Zhe that he would return to Nanjing in four days, and asked all departments to reorganize their troops and horses to welcome the general's review.
The cabinet also got the news today, the messenger did not go as fast as the secret whistle, and Emperor Longwu got the news three days earlier than the official channel.
The warships went down the river, and every morning a few fast horses galloped into the city of Nanjing, informing the general of his whereabouts. The house on the outskirts of Yingtianfu became quiet, and two dark-skinned men carried two wooden boxes more than a zhang long into Nanjing City.
There are many restaurants and teahouses in Nanjing, and Shangmeng has many industries here. There are several restaurants close to the main street into the city, which are in excellent locations, and Liu Quan only owns one of them.
The two men entered one of the restaurants and never reappeared.
From Huguang to Nanjing, the wind is getting smaller and smaller along the way. The boat is also getting more and more comfortable. At the end of the first month, the general's sailor arrived at the boundary of Nanjing, and in the anticipation of everyone, the general's sailor did not board the city of Nanjing6, but entered the canal from Zhenjiang and sailed to Hangzhou.
The civil officials waiting in Nanjing and the military generals in Jiangnan were all caught off guard. Xiao Zhiyan and Feng Qin's generals waited at the dock, only waiting for a messenger.
The messenger who came to this had a strange face, not Fang Jin.
The fast horse galloped to the front of the generals, holding the general's token and ordering: "The general has an order, please arrange the defense of the river bank and go to the general's mansion in Hangzhou immediately." β
Xiao Zhiyan took the lead in standing up and gave the order. He is the oldest and the most qualified.
The generals of Jiangnan returned to their respective camps, arranged the affairs of the army, some rode horses, and some Chen Zhou, and went to Hangzhou.
Zhai Zhe's move not only caught everyone by surprise, but also fully showed the general's arrogance and no one in his eyes, and some people in Nanjing City fell into chaos.
More than twenty warships entered the canal, blocking almost all the waterways, and all the ships in the river automatically gave way to the road.
Zhai Zhe ordered Fang to hang out the general's flag, causing a sensation in Suzhou Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion along the way. The people of Jiangnan have not seen the battle flag of the general for a long time, they have heard all kinds of rumors against the general in the past six months, and after seeing the mighty banner of the general, they rethink the Jiangnan shaving order that has only been two years in the past. Zhai Zhe can't control the land yet, but he has his influence here.
The warship docked in Hangzhou Mansion, and Chen Zilong, Fan Yongdou, Fang Yizhi and the owners of the business were already waiting on the shore. The generals have not yet arrived, and the civil officials and staff members take Chen Zilong as the leader.
Zhai Zhe went ashore, and Liu followed him with the wind.
The climate in Hangzhou is much warmer than that in Xiangyang, and Zhai Zhe put on a gray coat and felt slightly hot. Standing behind Chen Zilong, there were many civil officials he had never seen, and those people had flattering smiles on him one by one
Fang Yizhi hid on the edge of the right side, and the position where they stood showed their identity. Chen Zilong wanted to invite Fang Yizhi to stand in front with him, but Fang Yizhi refused his request.
"Governor Chen, this year, you have worked hard"
Zhai Zhe gave up.
"General" Chen Zilong bowed.
"Let's go, it's cold outside, don't stand here anymore" Zhai Zhe took the first step and walked to Hangzhou Mansion with Chen Zilong and a large number of other civil officials.
Returning to the General's Mansion in Hangzhou, Zhai Zhe ordered Fang Yizhi to be responsible for entertaining the guests, and greeted his subordinates: "I left Hangzhou last year to go north to Huguang, and returned in March this year, I miss my relatives at home very much, I am very happy that you came to greet me, but I really have no time to accompany you."
He used a very polite set of words, and then led Fang Jin's family to rush to the Zhai Mansion by the West Lake. The willow flowed down with the wind.
This was the second time that he was caught off guard, and Chen Zilong was ready to fill his stomach, but suddenly there was no one to tell him.
In this way, Zhai Zhe's return is even more mysterious.
Chen Zilong only took charge of the real power of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion this year, and in order to act conveniently, he gradually got rid of the system left by Zong Mao, and at the same time put his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials in various prefectures and counties as officials, and he didn't know what Zhai Zhe thought in his heart, and he couldn't get a quasi-letter.
Jiangnan people are guessing the general's intentions, and Chen Zilong is no exception.
When Chen Zilong didn't think of any way, Liu Suifeng found him. Liu Suifeng is the long history of the General's Mansion, and he has always followed Zhai Zhe, and Chen Zilong immediately became a treasure. Chen Zilong once served as the governor of Zhejiang for several years and had an industry in Hangzhou.
Liu came to visit with the wind, empty-handed. Others may not be able to say this, but Liu Suifeng is like this, which is understandable. Among the civil and military generals under the command of the general, only Liu Suifeng did not have much property. Because his money was not placed in his own home, but in his brother Liu's family. How much money he needs, just ask, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can also be withdrawn.
The two sat down, and Chen Zilong ordered his servants to serve Qimen black tea that was only harvested last autumn.
Liu took a sip with the wind, the taste was like ginger soup, and there was a heat wave on his chest.
"Congratulations to Brother Wozi" Liu Suifeng He has had a good family education since he was a child, and he has fooled around in the thief camp.
Chen Zilong was full of vigilance against Liu Suifeng and asked, "Why are you happy?" β
"Brother Wozi knows why I'm here?"
"Please make it clear?" Chen Zilong is a decent person and doesn't like people who play tricks.
Liu: With a smile on his face, he asked, "I heard that Brother Wozi has a daughter, but he hasn't married yet?" β
"Not bad" Chen Zilong guessed what he was going to say, and a red tide appeared on his face.
"The general has always been concerned about state affairs, and has been fighting abroad for the past two years, the general's son is twelve years old this year, and he has not yet decided on a marriage, and the general appreciates the family history of Brother Wozi, and is willing to marry the Chen family as Qin Jin."
The general's son is very sought-after, and the daughter of Chen Zilong's family is also rare. This family business is not what Liu Suifeng wants. But he didn't dare to disobey Zhai Zhe's order. At this point, Liu Suifeng did a good job, as long as Zhai Zhe's order, he would definitely do his best. If this is the case, how can he seize the opportunity of Zong Mao's debasement and stand above everyone and under one person.
Chen Zilong still couldn't believe it, and asked, "This is what the general meant?" β
"It's not the general's intention, is it still my meaning?" Liu Suifeng pretended to blame.
Chen Zilong was excited, all the previous worries were thrown out of the clouds, he wanted to laugh, but he felt that things were not so simple.
Liu Suifeng continued: "Hubei Xiangyang has not yet been captured, the general misses his wife and children, his brother and uncle went to Jiangnan last year, and this time he specially took leave to come back to save his relatives, and the time will not be too long." If Brother Wozi agrees, I will reply to the general and settle this matter as soon as possible. β
Chen Zilong was full of joy, nodded and agreed: "Since the general is so loving, I will be disrespectful." β
From the thirteenth year of Chongzhen to the south, Zhai Zhe and Chen Zilong became attached to Xu Du, and the two had mutual appreciation and mutual scruples. Chen Zilong was willing to marry Zhai Zhe, not only because of the power of the general, but also because the two resisted the shaving order side by side, turned the tide, and cherished each other.
Liu Suifeng moved quickly, got up and said: "Since Brother Wozi also has this heart, then I won't delay here, and quickly relay the good news to the general." β
"Liu Changshi takes a few more sips of tea, not in a hurry at this time"
"Brother Wozi is not in a hurry, the general is in a hurry" Liu walked with the wind like a whirlwind.
