Chapter 38 Desertion of duty
Hou Sui pointed at Hou Fangyu: "You! It's Son's brother! I don't understand scheming at all! Now we know that Zhang Biwu and Li Zicheng have a connection, and we will always be able to catch the handle, not to fight for a moment, once we startle the snake, we will not only not be able to catch the handle, but may be bitten by the other party! β
Hou Fangyu then understood, and said, "I see! It's still my father's thoughtfulness! Hou Sui kept shaking his head and said, "You! Brother Gongzi is Brother Gongzi, and he can't keep up with Zhang Biwu at all! β
Speaking of this, Hou Fangyu got angry and said, "Dad! Don't always compare me and Zhang Biwu, okay? When I was in Jiangnan, they compared me to him, and now you compare him to me! β
Hou Sui saw that Hou Fangyu was angry, and it was useless to let him stay here anymore, it was better to let Hou Fangyu leave, otherwise Hou Fangyu would do something to make Zhang Biwu angry, and it would be out of control. The most important point is that if Chongzhen is to blame because of the Kaifeng incident, Hou Sui will die if he dies, and at least he can keep Hou Fangyu.
Hou Fangyu originally missed the luxurious life in Jiangnan, and he missed Li Xiangjun very much, but now when he heard Hou Sui say that he should go back to Jiangnan, he couldn't ask for it, so he could also leave his troubles behind and go back to Jiangnan.
Hou Sui shook his head and said, "Alas! Don't be angry! I'm not angry! Although his literary talent is very good! But Yu'er, you and I were born in troubled times, no matter how good your literary talent is, what's the use? It's better to hold a knife in your hand! β
Hou Sui called people in and asked them to keep a good eye on Zhang Biwu, and if there was a move, they had to report to him first no matter what. At the same time, Hou Sui also had to hold the men and horses of the other general soldiers in his hands, and if necessary, if Zhang Biwu really voted for Li Zicheng, he would be unfavorable to Zhang Biwu.
He is still thinking about how to catch Zhang Biwu, Kaifeng is not guaranteed, he has to find a scapegoat, if Zhang Biwu's crime is corrected, then who else can this scapegoat be? Even if he loses his position, at least he can get rid of the pain of being imprisoned! As long as you don't go back to jail, it's better than anything!
Just as Hou Sui was thinking, the lower official came to report that Zhang Biwu had come to ask for a meeting. Hou Sui couldn't help but be startled, he thought: "Zhang Biwu came to ask to see?" Why did he come to see me? Did he realize that I was afraid of being watched by others? Did he come to settle accounts with me? It's not good, my standard battalion has only 2,000 men, and he has 4,000 men, and my 2,000 standard battalion and his 4,000 men and horses are not as brave as his soldiers at all! What to do? β
Hou Sui was so anxious that he said: "Order the whole army to prepare for battle...... "Yes!" "The herald was just about to give the order. Hou Sui calmed down and said, "Slow! How many people did Zhang Biwu come? β
The herald replied: "Deputy Chief Zhang just brought a dozen personal soldiers to ask to see the master of Taiwan!" β
"A dozen pro-soldiers?" Hou Sui asked again: "Can Zhang Biwu's military camp move?" For example, his men drove near me, or what was going on? β
The herald replied, "Not yet discovered!" Hou Sui said, "Don't you hurry up and check it out for me!" Be quick! Find out as fast as you can! You just said to Zhang Biwu, I have some urgent matters, I have to go to him slowly, please wait a while! β
"Yes!" The herald went to carry out the order. Hou Sui could only wait anxiously, and after half an hour, the herald quickly came to report: "We didn't see Zhang Jun's men and horses around our line, and Zhang Jun's men and horses didn't move!" β
Hou Sui breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't let Zhang Biwu wait for a long time. He went out in person, first apologizing to Zhang Biwu Dao for making him wait for so long.
Zhang Biwu was not angry, but his face was eager, he said: "Lord Zhangtai, I have something to say to you, I want to go back to Lingbao!" Because when my son was playing, it may be that the subordinates can't see it well, and a negligence actually made my son fall down, just falling on the head! Now the situation is very dangerous! My family asked me to rush back quickly! β
Zhang Biwu said eagerly: "Lord Taiwan, you also know that I only have a son, if my son has three long and two short, what should I do?" Because of my son's accident, I have to rush back first! Now I'm in a mess! I can't help Tai-sama anymore! β
As soon as Hou Sui heard what Zhang Biwu said about this matter, he breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, now he is really afraid that Zhang Biwu will know that he sent someone to monitor him, not to find out about the surveillance!
Hou Sui thought that as long as Zhang Biwu didn't go against him, it would be the best thing, so Hou Sui said, "Okay! Kunixiong, this is human nature! Your son is in danger, you should go back quickly! I don't think the thieves will dare cross the river to attack us! It's just that I hope Kunio can come back soon! You know, I can't live without you! Without you in the army, no one in your army can manage it, and I'm afraid that the situation will change after a long time! β
Zhang Biwu understood and said, "It's good! I'll be sure to come back as soon as possible! You can rest assured! Then I'll go back right now! β
Hou Sui smiled and said, "Okay! Kunio! There you go! Go early and come back early! Ling Gongzi will definitely be safe! β
Zhang Biwu didn't say much, he immediately said goodbye, his whole heart flew back home, it was said that he couldn't worry about his family when he was out on the expedition, but he still couldn't do it, and now he can ask for leave, he naturally has to go back. In addition, he knew that his army would not fight against Li Zixuan.
Hou Sui was like a treasure, and he immediately wrote a letter to Chongzhen, in which he said that Zhang Biwu had rushed back home because of his son's business. Hou Sui knew that Lu Dao had to forget his home when he was ordered, and now Zhang Biwu was still thinking about his family, which would definitely make Chongzhen very dissatisfied, it can be said that this is Zhang Biwu's mistake, and it can also help Hou Sui shirk his responsibility.
There are also those officials in the DPRK who will not let go of this good opportunity to impeach Zhang Biwu, which will be even more unfavorable to Zhang Biwu.
Hou Sui was even more relieved about this, he just had to stay here, as long as he could keep the two sides safe, it would be the best result. What neither Hou Sui nor Zhang Biwu expected was that something that was beneficial to Hou Sui and unfavorable to Zhang Biwu happened! Zhang Biwu's catastrophe will also come!
This one thing is out of Princess Kunxing, because Princess Kunxing has gone out of the palace without permission again! She's really not afraid of heaven and earth! And she didn't know how to learn a lesson, she once again desperately left the palace, and her exit from the palace this time was related to Concubine Liu.
No, Concubine Liu is walking towards the Qianqing Palace, she is very proud, because she has done one thing again, she can't help but think of her masterpiece, she laughed so hard that her teeth were about to burst.
This one thing is that she knows that Princess Kunxing is very opinionated in her heart because Chongzhen did not let her see Zhang Biwu and see her off.
What she wants is for people to keep mentioning Zhang Biwu to the princess, so as to increase Zhang Biwu's thoughts. More importantly, she wants to spread the news that Zhang Biwu was injured in the battle, or if there is any unfavorable news, Zhang Biwu needs a beautiful goddess of luck to help him, and he will be able to get good luck and defeat the enemy army.
And this beautiful goddess is naturally the most beautiful woman in the entire city of Beijing - Princess Kunxing! The beauty of Princess Kunxing is incomparable! Beauty is everything!
This is exactly what Princess Kunxing wants! Because Princess Kunxing has been taught since she was a child, beauty is everything, she doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to dress up well and be a beautiful princess, that's it! As long as she's beautiful, it means everything. There's nothing that beauty can't solve.
These educations have caused Princess Kunxing to be naΓ―ve, naΓ―ve, superstitious and beautiful. It's nothing if she were a princess who rules the world, but she is a princess in troubled times and in the disaster of losing the country!
When Princess Kunxing heard this, of course she thought of Zhang Biwu's side, and she had just fallen in love, so she couldn't control herself! Her personality is the same as Chongzhen, and she can't pull back even if she is pulled by nine cows!
It depends on who helps Princess Kunxing out of the palace, if Concubine Liu and Gao Qiqian, Wang Dehua and others come to help, it is a very easy thing, Princess Kunxing has a childish idea, as long as my beautiful princess can bring him good luck as soon as she arrives with her beloved, he will be able to defeat the enemy, so that she can also make her father happy!
So Princess Kunxing went out, this time even Grandpa Jin couldn't stop it, Grandpa Jin also knew the princess's character, since it couldn't be stopped, he could only accompany the princess to protect the princess's safety. At the same time, Gonggong Jin also wanted someone to report to Chongzhen immediately, hoping that Chongzhen could receive the news as soon as possible to stop the princess.
But Gonggong Jin didn't know that his letter was withheld, so how could he report it to Chongzhen in time?
Concubine Liu was thinking about this matter in her heart, because she reported it to Chongzhen late, and by the time Chongzhen wanted to send someone to recover Princess Kunxing, it was too late, and Princess Kunxing had already gone.
Chongzhen was only constantly angry, he was very angry, Princess Kunxing slipped out of the palace again, it was really hateful! Why was she disobedient?
With the sound of "popping", Chongzhen pushed all the things on the royal table to the ground, and he looked extremely angry.
Among the fallen copywriters, there is a chapter to impeach Zhang Biwu, saying that Zhang Biwu did not play, and he went out on the expedition, but he actually went home to see his son, which was not done by the general of the national army, and should be deprived of his military rights.
Concubine Liu knew that Chongzhen would not deprive Zhang Biwu of his military power, and these soldiers only listened to Zhang Biwu, and it was difficult to command whoever was the main general, but there would be a possibility of provoking a mutiny, which made Kaifeng completely desperate to be saved.
Concubine Liu, who arrived, immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!" She pretended to care about Chongzhen.
