"Father!"

"Mother!"

"The boy is back."

As soon as he returned to the Guogong Mansion, Zhang Rui did not stop at all, and went straight to his parents' residence.

(Hello, please)

As soon as he stepped into the door, he found that his eldest brother Zhang Cheng and his sister-in-law Liu Yu were also there.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, you're also here."

He greeted them with a playful smile.

"Little brother, you are not too young, and you are still fooling around all day long, what kind of system have you become."

"You're seventeen now, and you're old enough to ask for an errand."

"You can just find a few clever people to deal with your business. My body is weak, and it is difficult for me to take on a big responsibility, and the future of our Guogong Mansion can only depend on you. ”

"Got it?"

Zhang Cheng preached.

"The eldest brother preached. But don't worry, big brother, the king has already rewarded me with an errand today. ”

Zhang Rui said very proudly.

"What?"

"Rui'er, you are so good to tell your father clearly, what kind of errand did the king promise you?"

Zhang Shize said a little nervously.

"Father, the king appointed me as the dragoon general of the fourth grade, and let me be in charge of commanding the dragoon camp."

"I'm an official."

Zhang Rui said happily.

"What, Dragoon General? Little brother, this, you can't do this errand. Zhang Cheng's face suddenly changed greatly, and he rushed in front of Zhang Shize and sternly objected.

"Huh?"

"Why?"

"Is there anything wrong with this Dragoon General?"

Zhang Rui asked with a puzzled face.

"Huh?!"

"Let your eldest brother know these things best."

At the mention of this matter, Zhang Shize's face was helpless, mixed with some anger.

"Huh?"

"What is this?"

Zhang Rui's face was even more confused, and he looked at his brother Zhang Cheng and asked hopefully.

"Little brother, do you know who the last dragoon general was?"

"And how did he die?"

"Also, why hasn't there been such a position as Dragoon General for so long?"

Zhang Cheng asked before answering.

"I know, isn't it Changyang Bo Tangji? He was also a nobleman, and after hearing that he had fallen to his death while riding a horse. ”

Zhang Rui asked suspiciously.

"Changyang Bo Tangji is skilled in arching and horses, otherwise, how could he become a dragoon general, protect the court, and serve the king."

"How could such a military general stumble and die on horseback?"

"These are just to prevaricate outsiders."

Zhang Cheng said with a little anger.

"And who is?"

Zhang Rui said.

"The dragoon battalion is the army of the Son of Heaven, although the number is not large, the full strength is only 10,000. The Dragoon Generals and the Dragoon Battalion are loyal only to the current monarch, and no one else has the right to transfer. ”

"The fact that the monarch was able to succeed to the throne smoothly at the beginning also had something to do with the dragoon general at that time."

"Your grandfather Zhang Weixian, at that time, was not only in charge of the military power of the Beijing camp, but also in charge of the dragon cavalry camp of 10,000 people.

"It's just that after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he listened to the slander of those civilian groups such as the Donglin Party, and began to suppress our British government, and successively emptied the military power of many nobles such as our British government, and began to reuse those literati, and the dragoon battalion was gradually suppressed and divided by him, and lost its combat effectiveness."

"Fifteen years ago, Chongzhen and the civil official group fell out because of the matter of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, and later he wanted to reactivate the dragoon camp in order to deal with the civilian official group, so Changyang Bo Tangji crossed the cabinet and was exceptionally promoted to dragoon general."

"At that time, I wanted to play a game with the civil official group, but later, our emperor was completely defeated because of one person."

"He not only lost the opportunity to suppress the civilian clique, but also Changyang Botangji."

"I also lost the future of Daming."

Zhang Cheng said.

“......”

Zhang Rui didn't say anything more.

The mood is a little dull.

When he heard this, he was not stupid, and how could he not hear it.

This time, Chongzhen clearly regarded him as a bargaining chip in the "game" with the civil official group, and regarded him as another "Chang Yangbo".

There is no family affection in the heavenly family.

Now it seems that there is no affection between the monarch and the minister.

No wonder the history books record that Chongzhen is mean and unkind, and is good at throwing the pot, which is true.

Wait for them to be like this.

Changyang Botangji is like this.

The same is true of Yuan Chonghuan and other Ming generals.

He lost not only the hearts of the people, but also the hearts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

The heart of the Quartet.

It is no wonder that there are so few people who donate money to save the country, and so few people who escort King Qin.

(Chongzhen's character is really bad, who will work hard for him)

Zhang Rui remembered that it was recorded in the history books that in the Fan Chongzhen Dynasty, he was more diligent in changing the head of the cabinet than in changing his pants, and he also killed a lot of Shangshu in the six departments.

He only knows how to shirk responsibility, throw the blame, and have no responsibility.

Let's not talk about anything else, Zhang Rui clearly remembers that Chen Xinjia at the beginning, as Chongzhen's secret envoy, negotiated peace with Jiannu.

Jiannu Emperor Taiji suggested that he should no longer be a minister, and from then on an equal footing with the Ming Kingdom, and the two would be fine.

Later, I don't know how this matter was known to the civilian clique, and they joined forces to impeach Chen Xinjia for "betraying the country for glory".

For the sake of his face, Chongzhen, as the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, actually threw the pot to Chen Xinjia, saying that everything was Chen Xinjia's own meaning and had nothing to do with him.

After that, Chen Xinjia was imprisoned.

Later, he was killed by Chongzhen.

How could he hide his behavior from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, which also led to the civil and official groups to protect themselves from then on, and even the generals who led the troops were "centrifuged" to him.

(Ming died, Chongzhen's sins are indelible, and he can't wash it away)

……

When Zhang Rui walked back to his residence from his parents' residence in ignorance, he had to admit that this dragoon general was not easy to do.

As for resigning, he didn't think about it.

His parents and brothers didn't know that the Great Ming Kingdom was now full of calculations, and it was only a month.

Li Zicheng's thieves are in full swing, and the soldiers will come to the city soon, and at that time, the fate of their British mansion will be very miserable.

At this time, he must master the power of the army.

(Protect your family)

Dragoon Battalion!

What about the Son of Heaven's pro-army?!

He has a way to turn it into their Zhang family army, into his Zhang Rui's soldiers, driven by him, and settle down in this troubled world.

It's just that he is extremely disappointed in Chongzhen's behavior, such a king, how can he serve him to death, and he still has to be selfish.

"Young Master Rui, Guard Ye and Steward Gu are asking to see you outside."

The maidservant Nan Jing called softly.

"Let them in."

Zhang Rui did not continue to work on this matter, wasting time, it was better to act than to be moved.

"Yes!"

Nanjing said.

His small courtyard is called: Hidden Spring Water Pavilion.

After a while, the Gu Steward Yiye Escort walked in.

"Rui Shao."

The two saluted.

"Ye Fan, how are things going?"

Zhang Rui said.

"Rui Shao, as you said, I found the Chen girl you described in Tian Hongyu's mansion."

"I heard that Tian Hongyu said that he intended to give this woman to Wu Sangui as a concubine, to curry favor with Wu Sangui, and to find a new backer."

Ye Guard said.

"This woman, Ben Shao has taken a fancy to her, what can you do to snatch her from Tian Hongyu's hands?"

Zhang Rui said bare light.

"Huh?"

"Rui Shao, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, how can this Tian Hongyu say, he is also Tian Guifei's father. Although it is said that Tian Guifei is dead, he has fallen out of favor. But it's also the ruler of the country, we want to move him, are you afraid of it? ”

The valley steward reminded.
