Chapter 173: Climb and bite! Involved!
It is now the end of autumn, and after leaving the Beijing Division, there is a withered and yellow scene along the way, and more than 5,000 officers and soldiers are marching along the official road, and it is impossible for these people to bring all their own rations, and some of them also have to buy along the way.
Normally, sometimes the prefectures, prefectures, and counties have to come up with some grain to supply the army, but from the twelfth to the seventeenth years of Hongzhi, the prince now has a private treasury, so he will not eat the white food of various places, and he does not need the silver of the user department.
The more you give, the more you earn.
This trip to Zhejiang, how can I come back empty-handed.
The dryness of the North China Plain made the army dusty when it crossed the border, and Zhang Yong spat on the side from time to time, because there was always a feeling of eating into the soil on his tongue.
Originally, the commander of Teng Xiang Zuowei was Nanning Bo Maorong, but now he has returned home. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, he was removed and replaced by Chang Fei, who had studied at a military academy.
Chang Fei is the second son of Chang Fu, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, and is now twenty-eight years old.
This Huaiyuan Marquis Chang is the descendant of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun.
The Chang family was originally not bad, they were the relatives of Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, but in the later historical trend, the throne did not reach Zhu Biao's head.
In fact, the Chang clan began to decline from the Yongle Dynasty.
Until the fifth year of Hongzhi, the emperor was benevolent and felt that the descendants of meritorious heroes should not be left in the wilderness. Therefore, a decree was made: Taimiao deserves to enjoy all the meritorious heroes, and its givers to the king are all the ancestors of the left emperor to calm the world and have great merit. And the children and grandchildren may not touch an inch, and they will be reduced to gangsters. I can't bear it, so I can ask for his heirs, give an official, and worship the ancestors.
Later, Chang Yuchun's son Chang Fu was transferred from Yunnan to Nanjing, and was awarded the command of Nanjing Jinyi Weishi, and his two sons were also taken to Nanjing.
In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the prince suddenly opened a military academy in Beijing.
The sons and daughters of all the nobles were quite enthusiastic about this, and Emperor Hongzhi also mentioned to the crown prince that he wanted to give the nobles some opportunities.
Like Huaiyuan Hou Changfu, his Nanjing brocade guard position can be hereditary, but the second son has nowhere to go. So I asked the emperor to ask for a place in the hope that the military academy would give them a place.
The rest of the story isn't complicated.
Although it is difficult for the descendants of the Chang family to have the heroism of General Chang Yuchun back then, Chang Fei is quite careful and serious, at the beginning Zhu Houzhao didn't let him learn, first poured the deeds of General Chang Yuchun into his brain, don't embarrass his ancestors.
Chang Fei is not a talented person, he does things in a straightforward way, and he doesn't talk much, such a person has mediocre abilities and tends to be particularly obedient.
Teng Xiang Zuowei is a first-class guard led by Zhu Houzhao, and Chang Fei, Chang Fu and others have changed their fate because of Emperor Hongzhi.
These two fathers and sons are naturally loyal to Zhu Houzhao and his father.
In addition, there are no famous generals like Chang Yuchun and Qi Jiguang for the prince to choose now. It's also good to have a reassuring person by your side to keep yourself safe.
In this place of the military academy, many people have become the prince's cronies.
Chang Fei has this identity and the glory of his ancestors, as long as he performs his duties conscientiously, there is no doubt about the glory and wealth of the prince in the future.
So now the commander of the envoy is not distracted, anyway, if he says to go to Zhejiang, then he will pull out. He took out the textbooks in his pocket and arranged them step by step.
This kind of rigidity is very fatal militarily, but within the territory of the country, not on the grassland, it is still possible to cope with the basic situation.
Besides, there's Zhang Yongzai.
As for the position of Nanningbo, who Mao Wenyu had in mind......
He still owes some credit.
This is his thoughts, so much so that the literati say that they are factories and guards are embarrassed, but in his opinion, it is all noise.
When he was walking on the road, Mao Wenyu was still thinking, Hongzhi had been quiet for a long time since the twelfth year, and he didn't want to miss this time.
"Father-in-law Zhang, the lower official has a suggestion." Mao Wenren swayed on a tall horse, which he specially selected from the Northwest Horse Farm.
Zhang Yong remembered the prince's evaluation of Mao Wen, so he immediately replied: "You say." ”
"Xia Guan thinks that he is not sending someone to Jing'an County, Jiangxi."
The name of this place is nothing, but Zhang Yong quickly reacted, "That's Zhang Cheng's hometown." What do you send someone to do there? ”
Mao Yuyu analyzed: "The secretary of the dignified Ministry of Rites, the second-class member of the imperial court, just made a mistake, with the habits of the emperor, it is easy not to kill him." Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was more severe, Ma Wensheng, Wu Kuan and others were degraded and degraded at the beginning. How big is Zhang Chengwei's crime to make him feel that he has no chance of survival, is it a rebellion? ”
It's impossible. Don't even think about it.
Zhang Yongruo thought,
This kid is really a person who can use his brains as His Highness said.
Mao Wenyu then said: "Since it is not a rebellion, then what killed him is the situation and the situation in Zhejiang." But father-in-law, think about how Wei Bin did it. ”
Wei Bin...... It was begging His Highness to spare him. ”
"Then why can't Zhang Cheng do this?"
"What do you mean, Zhang Cheng is protecting his family?"
The eunuch didn't have this concern, so it was normal for Zhang Yong not to think of it.
Mao Wenyu was not sure, but he felt that it was a possibility, "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu died like this, the deceased is the greatest, and the court should give him what he should give." But if he doesn't die, it will be a capital crime that can be avoided, and a living crime will be inescapable, and then everything for him will be gone, and it is even likely to affect his family. ”
"But his death will also shake the imperial court, and under the strict investigation of the imperial court, what can he hide?"
"Maybe ......" Mao Wenyu thought of a possibility that made him more nervous, "Maybe Zhang Shangshu thinks that even if the court investigates strictly, it won't be able to find anything, and everything will be the same as before." ”
It's just a guess,
But His Highness may have thought so, too.
That's why Teng Xiang left guard poured out of the nest.
"Hmph." Zhang Yong pouted with some disdain, "The Ming Dynasty is still the Ming Dynasty of the emperor and His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness wants to say that he will investigate, where can he not find out?" Where he Zhang Cheng didn't dare to go, you and I dared to go, and I and you dared to catch the people he didn't dare to arrest. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are full of scheming, but when the knife is on his neck, can he still turn the sky upside down? ”
This was actually said by Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Yong at the beginning, and now Zhang Yong and Mao Yu say it.
Mao Wenwen is also full of blood, and he has this benefit by working under the prince. Hold the thighs right, who do you want to deal with, no one dares to pat their chests and say that my backstage is bigger than you.
"That Jing'an County ......"
Zhang Yong nodded, "Yes." ”
In this way, there will be a small group of brocade guards along the official road to Jiangxi halfway through.
At this time, Zhejiang had not yet received a few words from the imperial court, and for them, Wang Hua was just sending the eucalyptus rolls.
Officials at all levels pinched their fingers and estimated that Jingli had probably just received the news.
Everything else is still.
It wasn't until the beginning of November that there began to be voices one after another that the imperial court's Ministry of Rites had committed suicide.
Later, some officials spread that the suicide of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was related to the eucalyptus in Zhejiang.
In short, Zhejiang is getting closer to what is happening in Beijing step by step.
The speed of Zhang Yong's army is naturally not as fast as that of a single horse.
On this day, Li Yancai suddenly received news from Kuaima, saying that Teng Xiang Zuowei had traveled to Nanzhili. When he heard the news, he fell out of the warm bed in an instant.
"It's over, it's over, it's over, how could the first-class guards in the Beijing division be transferred to Zhejiang at this time?!"
Before he could digest it,
Dang Shanji broke into his backyard directly, and as soon as he looked at him, the two pale faces seemed to understand each other's thoughts.
"Heard?"
Li Yancai was speechless for a while, and nodded with difficulty, "Yes...... It's true? ”
Goo Dong!
Dang Shanji swallowed his saliva, "Really! ”
"Ahh Li Yancai suddenly cried, "What is the prince going to do!" There are no rebels or civil uprisings in Zhejiang, who is this aimed at! ”
Dang Shanji sat on a stool, propped up the table with one hand, and didn't say a word.
The candle flame flickered, illuminating his face.
"You speak!" Li Yancai died in a hurry, "Wasn't you quite able to say it before?" What to sell deep at this time?! ”
"What did I say?" Dang Shanji slapped the back of his right hand on the palm of his left hand, and the slap sounded, "We don't know what Jingli means!" Now I only know that Teng Xiang Zuowei is coming to Zhejiang, what do you want me to say? The matter of Wei Binyu, that was the governor Wang Hua also nodded, he is the prince's person, now this situation, how do I know why? ”
Referring to Wei Binyu,
Li Yancai remembered the picture of this guy fighting for the silver with himself before.
In his heart, he was sad and desperate, and despite the cold of the winter night, he went up and pinched Dang Shanji's neck with only a single coat, "It's you pig who hurt me!" At the beginning, I said that this matter is strange, take a little less, you have to pick me up in the back! It's you! ”
It's ridiculous to say,
Two provincial-level officials, a middle-aged fat man with little strength, actually wanted to solve the problem with their fists at this time.
Dang Shanji was still an envoy in the end, with some force, and when he saw Li Yancai coming up to scuffle with him, he directly pushed the person down and pressed him to the ground, and shouted: "Do you think you can change anything by taking a little less?" You are a political envoy in Zhejiang, and if you don't have any money, who will give you your life? It won't be the same as the light, and when the time comes, anything can give you a set, and you will still end up the same! ”
"Fart! I think it's you who set me up! ”
Syllable!
Dang Shanji actually slapped him, "Calm down!" Teng Xiang Zuowei is not necessarily coming for us! Besides, at this time, the two of us can have infighting, aren't we hurting our own people?! ”
"I hurt your mother's head!"
Li Yancai was slapped and became even more angry, "Anyway, Lao Tzu is also a death, you dare to beat me, Lao Tzu will fight with you today." ”
This is hysteria in the face of death threats, and it doesn't hurt so much to punch at this time, so these two people just started beating each other, of course, with the physical strength of the two of them, they couldn't beat each other for long,
Before half the incense was burned, the two of them sat on the ground disheveled and panting.
Li Yancai is like a defeated rooster, "...... Still, let's figure it out. ”
"What can you do?"
As soon as this guy gets down to business, his mind doesn't turn again.
Li Yancai couldn't get angry now, and he didn't want to be angry anymore, he said slowly: "If you follow the eucalyptus rolls we sent, even if there are some small problems, you can't provoke Teng Xiang Zuowei, in my opinion, there is something hidden from Wang Hua's side from us......"
Dang Shanji couldn't move such a thin brain, he only had a ruthless energy, "If the prince really came to arrest us and sent a first-class guard to the town, then we only have one way, which is to bite and bite!" Involved! Involve the whole of Zhejiang, and even the people in the Jingshi, and see how he kills when the time comes! ”
