Ning Yuan.

The emperor's will was transmitted to the city in the form of an order from the military department, and although the matter of rewarding military merits will continue, as the winner of the "second merit" of this battle, Zhu Feng's promotion to the border marquis of Anbian detonated public opinion in the city in a short time.

Regardless of whether they had any opinions on Zhu Feng before, they all went to stammer, and even Ren Liang, the eunuch who guarded the town, and Qian Ying, who replaced Zhu Feng as the chief military officer, all ran to stutter, hating to say that Zhu Feng was the god of war in the sky.

Zhu Feng was very calm about this.

With Zhang Zhouming, it is strange to get credit, and Zhu Dashao's ambition has never been to get a knight, he just wants to go back to the capital to live a happy life, he is still a "man who cares about the family", of course, the family he takes care of is different from other people's, to put it bluntly...... He has no ambitions, and the talent of waste wood has been mistakenly added to the talent of the god of war, and when he returns to the capital, he feels that he can return to his previous carefree life mode.

That's what he wants.

After another celebration banquet in the evening, Zhu Feng returned to his temporary residence, and after receiving the order, Zhu Feng was about to leave for Beijing in the coming day, and had completed the handover of military affairs with Qian Ying.

"Zhijie, haven't slept yet?"

A person was cheeky and followed Zhu Feng to come, and he followed up without even saying hello, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

It's Chen Rui.

Zhu Feng frowned and looked at Old Man Chen, and asked, "Uncle Pingjiang, didn't Your Majesty transfer you to Yansui to replace your father as the chief military officer?" Why haven't you left yet? ”

"Haven't you left yet?" Chen Rui smiled, "Before leaving, we always have to reminisce about the past, right?" I have fought together, and we have won military merits together, I am not jealous of the title of Marquis of Ling'anbian, the old man knows that he will be promoted to marquis or something, and he will have a chance to ...... in the future."

Zhu Fengxin said, are you still jealous? I think you almost have envy and jealousy written on your face, right?

Chen Rui came uninvited, and he didn't invite himself to find a place to sit.

"Zhijie, I heard that the Ministry of War proposed to open a martial arts hall, and I heard that even the name has been given, called Yanwutang, with Zhang Bingkuan as the chief lecturer, you went back to assist him in this matter?" Chen Rui came to Zhu Feng before leaving, of course, he had his purpose.

Zhu Feng didn't have the intention of forming a party, so naturally he didn't think about what special meaning there was behind this, and nodded: "Maybe." ”

Chen Rui said with a smile: "Then it must be, this is a good errand, in the future, the generals in the army, but all those who the imperial court wants to focus on cultivating, will go to the Yanwutang for further study, and then the generals in the world will not be your protégés?" ”

Zhu Feng frowned, he could see through these soldiers now.

They all like to tie up with people, and they are more concerned about what is going on in the DPRK than the ministers in the DPRK and China.

"Uncle Pingjiang, even if this is true, those generals are all disciples of Brother Zhang, what does it have to do with me? And His Majesty didn't tell me what to coordinate, only said that I would be transferred back to Beijing for another purpose. First, I don't have the heart to compete with you for fame and profit, and second, I don't have the intention of embarrassing anyone with my power, so please don't make things difficult for me anymore. ”

Zhu Feng wanted to say, I want to sleep now.

I woke up and happily returned to the capital...... Get a divorce.

Chen Rui thought that if he didn't go to Yanwutang first, he would at least let the people he had friends go, and at the same time probe the bottom in advance, he would say hello and let Zhu Feng take care of him.

Outcome......

He is also pondering now, is this Zhu Zhijie a waste wood Adou who can't be supported? Or is he the hidden Sima Zhongda, deliberately pretending to be a bear on his own?

"Do you have anything else to do?" Zhu Feng was about to issue an eviction order.

Chen Rui said with an embarrassed face: "Zhijie, the old man will leave for Yansui early tomorrow morning, can't we talk about some things in advance?" ”

"Oh, what are you talking about? What's the good thing that doesn't call me? ”

Here Chen Rui is annoying Zhu Feng, and there is another character who makes Chen Rui a headache, that is, Zhang Yanling, who is about to go with him to Yansui to lead the army.

Chen Rui frowned and said, "Uncle Jianchang, what are you doing?" ”

"Hey, this door is not closed, I'll come in and see what's going on? Don't collude in private, my uncle is also a hero, and His Majesty praised me especially when he issued the decree this time, what's the matter, why don't you want to take me with me? Go ahead! ”

Zhang Yanling is now shrewd.

Where you are, just keep an eye on the steward first, so that if there is any good thing, you will not miss it.

Chen Rui was about to go to Yansui with him, how could he miss it when he came to see Zhu Feng at this time?

Chen Rui said with a dark old face: "Our Anbian Marquis, who is about to return to Beijing as a lecturer in the martial arts hall, will share the experience of the first battle in Liaodong and inform all the generals in the world, and it can be said that he is the best candidate for the general in the future, and the old man will come to learn some experience from him in advance, what's wrong?" The old man has to bring a few new guns to Yansui this time, so he can't learn? ”

"Learn? Hehe. I think you have other plans, right? The surname is Chen, I heard that you want to marry your daughter. I said it all, I don't dislike your daughter who once married, send it to my house, I will take good care of you, and we will be a litter in the future. ”

Zhang Yanling also learned to marry politically, of course what he said......

To Chen Rui's ears, it was vulgar.

Chen Rui said: "The little girl is blessed and is not qualified to marry a hero like An Bianhou. ”

"Haha, what about the liar? You gave your daughter to Zhang Bingkuan, and you were embarrassed to ask for it, right? Also heroic? If you want to talk about heroes, it should be Zhang Bingkuan, isn't he the credit for today's credit? Zhu Zhijie...... Hehe. ”

Now Zhang Yanling looks down on Zhu Feng.

It's not that he really thinks Zhu Feng is incompetent, but he thinks ...... There is this kind of opportunity to stand on the head of the city and light a cannon and lead the troops to rush out to get the first merit to be promoted to the marquis, why doesn't my brother-in-law let me be the chief military officer?

Zhu Feng, where is he better than me?

He's faster than me when he's on horseback?

Originally, even Chen Rui thought that Zhu Feng almost saved Zhang Yanling's life on the battlefield, and Zhang Yanling should know the "Thanksgiving Chart", but the result was ...... Zhang Yanling not only did not remember his kindness, but seemed to have taken revenge.

This also made Chen Rui realize that don't help people like their relatives, they are not even as good as themselves in serious warfare, but it is a top trick to drop the chain.

Chen Rui said with a smile: "Zhijie, the old man has no intention of embarrassing you, maybe the old man will come back from Yansui and go to your school for further study, and then mention more." Let's go! ”

Chen Rui didn't want to talk too much to Zhu Feng in the presence of Zhang Yanling, so as not to be learned by Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling saw that Chen Rui was leaving, so he hurriedly followed out, and after going out of the door, he heard a "bang" from behind.

Zhu Feng slammed the door shut, and even the latch was closed.

"This Zhu Zhijie...... Cocked tail. Chen Rui stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhang Yanling said: "Lao Chen, let's not talk about others, let's discuss the matter of accepting your daughter?" ”

Chen Rui shook his head, looking arrogant: "I can't climb high!" ”

In the past, he may really be "unattainable", but now he Chen Rui can "ignore it".

……

……

Zhu Feng returned to the capital on April 12.

Zhang Zhou didn't go to greet him that day, because Zhang Zhou didn't know that this kid came back that day, and what happened to Zhang Zhou recently...... It's very leisurely, and I don't even go to the palace much, and my favorite thing to do every day is to go home and practice gymnastics...... Group exercises.

And it is night and day, and I go home whenever I have leisure.

On this day, he had just been to Li Guang's house, arranged the renovation, and was going to bring the women of the family to see the layout of the new house in the next two days.

"Does Your Majesty have such orders?"

Zhang Zhou didn't have much friendship with Chen Rui, and Chen Rui came to him under the guise of asking him for advice, obviously expecting that he would see him if he didn't want to.

And so.

Zhang Zhou received guests for the first time in his new mansion, and specially instructed Sun Shangqi and others to stay and listen to what Chen Rui had to say.

"I've seen Mr. Zhang."

When Chen Rui saw Zhang Zhou, he was polite.

This appearance almost made Zhang Zhou think that he had seen Lao Wang, and it turned out that Lao Chen was not far behind in terms of tying up with the powerful.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "I've seen Ping Jiangbo." ”

Chen Rui looked around and said in surprise: "This is an immortal residence, only immortals descended from heaven are qualified to live in such a heavenly residence shrouded in immortal mist, Mr. Zhang is simply ......"

"Enough is enough." Zhang Zhou didn't think Chen Rui's compliment had any nutrition.

He doesn't like to hear this kind of sycophant.

Because he knows that once these people are sycophants, they must have something to ask for.

It is a typical example of not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Chen Rui smiled ashamedly and said, "Mr. Zhang, have you ever been to the yard that was given to you before?" When it comes to repairs, do you have any complaints? ”

Zhang Zhou walked with Chen Rui in the front yard, shook his head and said, "I didn't go." ”

"The door is locked, and only Mr. Zhang can open it himself." Chen Rui said.

Zhang Zhou was surprised: "If I don't go, can the people inside starve to death?" ”

"Hehe, that's not going to happen." Chen Rui smiled bitterly.

I was wondering in my heart, how could this kid's way of thinking be quite similar to Zhu Zhijie? The tone of his speech is also so bad, he usually dares to talk to His Majesty like this? Or is it a deliberate run on me?

Zhang Zhoudao: "There are some things that should be made clear to you Pingjiangbo, before Father-in-law Xiao asked me to accept your gift, so that you can lead troops in Liaodong with peace of mind, and now that the war in Liaodong is over, it is time to return the house to you." Reactive power is not punished. ”

"Why is it not working? In the next place, thanks to Mr. Zhang's suggestion, it is appropriate to regain the errand of the Yansui military officer. ”

Chen Rui can only think that Zhang Zhou thinks that the gift is too light, or that Zhang Zhou does not treat him as his "own person".

Think about it too.

Zhang Zhou has Wang Weining and Zhu Zhijie as the co-ordinators in the army, why do you use him Chen Rui?

Do you Chen Liangjiu know how to fight better than Wang Weining, or do you have a deep friendship between Zhu Zhijie and Zhang Zhou? The friendship between each other is just a drink, or do you Chen Liangjiu deliberately want to get drunk with wine Zhang Zhou, now that the matter in Liaodong is over, Zhang Zhou is not uncommon with his so-called gifts, so he naturally has to clear up the relationship.

Chen Rui said: "Sir, forgive me, there were some things that I did not do right before, and I didn't fulfill my courtesy." Although the dancing girl in the Western Regions is good, she is ...... Hehe, in the next trip to Yansui, I will definitely find a better one for Mr., as for the little girl...... She's also a blessing, you don't have to give her any name, just ask her to ......"

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Speaking of this, I have to talk to you about Ping Jiangbo." You said that you are also a powerful person in the court, and your daughter is also a celebrity, why do you want to be a concubine? Even if you have been married, after all, isn't there no estrangement now? There are not a few generals in the army who want to marry you, so why bother to be strong? ”

"This ......"

Chen Rui frowned.

Is his daughter so disliked?

First Zhu Feng didn't want it, but now he doesn't even want Zhang Zhou? What does that mean...... Only Zhang Yanling wants it? The second boy of the Zhang family wants it, but I won't give it yet!

Even if I give my daughter away as a gift, I have to choose someone, even if it is given to the second child of the Zhu family, who is different in aesthetics and people, I can't give it to Zhang Yanling, that is really to push my daughter into the fire pit.

"I heard that you still want to marry your daughter to Zhu Zhijie?" Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.

"Huh? This ......"

Chen Rui wanted to say, do you know this? Could it be that Zhang Yanling or Zhu Feng said it with a big mouth and became known? That's bad.

He immediately calmed down: "There is no such thing!" How can you take back what you have given away? No matter how rude you are, you won't do such a thing! ”

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame, I actually want to say, if you really have this intention, I can help you." ”

"Huh?"

Chen Rui was even more surprised.

What routine?

Help me? Help me marry my daughter to Zhu Zhijie? Obviously, I gave my daughter to you, you just keep it, what kind of road are you?

That's not right.

Don't you Zhang Bingkuan know who Zhu Zhijie is? Give my daughter to him...... Isn't that similar to giving it to a woman? What are your intentions?

Zhang Zhou suddenly thought of something and asked, "When will An Bianhou come back?" ”

Sun Shangqi, who was standing next to him, shook his head, meaning that he didn't know.

When Zhang Zhou looked at Chen Rui, Chen Rui also smiled bitterly: "I didn't walk with him." ”

I don't know.

Zhang Zhou said: "Don't worry about Uncle Pingjiang, I'll tell him when I go back, as for your dancing girl, I will decide whether to accept it or not after consulting His Majesty's intentions." Your house ......"

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome, just accept it together."

Chen Rui originally felt that it was too much of a loss to give his daughter to Zhang Zhou, and he regretted it when he woke up, but now he felt that it was a pity that Zhang Zhou didn't accept it.

It's kind of "good steel is used on the blade".

Just this one daughter who can still marry, even if she has been married before, if she wants to give it away now, it must be given to the person who is most beneficial to the Chen family.

Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Pingjiang still has something to ask about the march?" Your Majesty has never told me this. ”

"Yes, indeed." Chen Rui was afraid that Zhang Zhou would think that he was rashly asking to see him, which would attract criticism from others, so he hurriedly took out an official document and said, "This is not here...... In the dispatch of the Ministry of War, in addition to asking Zai to bring six Shenwei Yuan cannons to Yansui, he also instructed him to bring a batch of shells after arriving in Beijing, and by the way, he followed the Ministry of Works' arsenal to clear the official Shilang...... That is, Mr. Zhang, you, to inquire about the use of cannons. ”

Zhang Zhou took the official document and read it.

That's probably what it means.

But it's right to think about it, if Chen Rui and Zhang Yanling are asked to use the cannon in Yansui, it turns out that these two goods still don't know the function and utility of the artillery, how can this cannon still play a deterrent role?

Zhang Zhou said: "Oh, that's okay." I'll find a pen and paper to write it for you, you should have seen it all on Ning Yuancheng's head...... The specific firing of the cannon is decided by the professional gunner, and you, as the chief officer, only need to judge the situation and know when to use the cannon! ”

"Yes, yes, rely on Mr. Zhang."

……

……

Chen Rui saw Zhang Zhou, and when he came out of the courtyard that should have belonged to Li Guang, the muscles on his face could finally relax, and he didn't need to smirk anymore.

The servant beside Chen Rui said, "Master, why do you have to give this upstart a smile?" ”

Even his own servants felt that Chen Rui was a little too humble.

After all, Chen Rui had said in front of them that Zhang Zhou and Wang Yue were wearing the same pants, and said that they would not make friends in this life.

Now Chen Rui doesn't seem to remember these words at all.

Chen Rui scolded: "If you don't open your eyes, you don't want to think about the current situation!" Benber is now regaining his prestige in the army, isn't it up to him? Didn't you report it? And also...... Later, the Yanwu Hall was opened, and the whole army became his protégés, did I let the Chen family go against the ministers of the entire Ming Dynasty, and let our Chen family be the only one in the Ming Dynasty? ”

Chen Rui also knows how to judge the situation.

He really looked down on Zhang Zhou before, and felt that Zhang Zhou was just a fool of the emperor by pretending to be a god.

But now...... After he himself received a favor, he realized that it was really a great skill, and there was no one in the court who could compare with Zhang Zhou.

What about Ge Lao Shangshu, can they replace Zhang Zhouzhi in case?

At this time, even if he knew that he was not treated by Zhang Zhou, he could only stubbornly stutter, and at this time, Chen Rui could only step on his face.

……

……

After Zhu Feng returned to Beijing, he was originally going to see Zhang Zhou directly.

As a result, the people from the Chengguo Mansion came to pick him up in advance, and explained that it was Chengguo's wife Zhu Hushi who asked him to go back to talk first, and also made it clear that he would not be delayed to report on his work and meet Zhang Zhou, so Zhu Feng ran home first.

"Big brother, what does grandmother want to tell me? After the foreign generals returned to Beijing, they should have gone to the Governor's Mansion first. ”

Zhu Feng is a good boy who abides by the rules.

So he felt that it was a little bad to go home first.

Zhu Lin pinned his head to the side: "Grandmother wants to talk to you, but you still push back?" The Governor's Palace? Your father is the Governor of the Governor's Mansion Zuo, he is not in Beijing, His Majesty and the Ministry of War don't ask, is there anyone who cares about your etiquette? Just go! ”

"Oh."

Zhu Lin is actually telling Zhu Feng that you are different from others.

Only then did Zhu Feng go to see Zhu Hu.

When Zhu Hu saw his second grandson coming back, he was very excited, and he beckoned from afar: "Grandson, let grandmother take a look, you have suffered a lot recently, right?" I look like I've lost a lot of weight......"

Zhu Feng was quite happy to see Zhu Hu before.

But then he was just a flower in a greenhouse.

It's a real flower.

But now he felt ...... Grandmother's enthusiasm is a bit pretentious, and she doesn't really want to face such an old lady who looks kind but doesn't know what she is thinking.

Politics, to ponder people's hearts, made him very anxious.

"Grandmother, my grandson has greeted you." Zhu Feng seemed very filial.

"It's okay, it's okay, come here, tell your grandmother about the war between Biguan and Ningyuan, our Zhu family finally has another hero, it is the blessing of the ancestors." Go to the ancestral hall and let the ancestors know. ”

Zhu Hu said that he was going to pull his second grandson to worship his ancestors.

Zhu Feng reminded: "It's all Brother Zhang's good mention. ”

Ancestors blessed?

Even Zhu Feng knows that this is nonsense, it is better to say "Zhang Zhou's blessing", is Zhang Zhou my ancestor?
