After Zhu Youzhu conveyed the news that Jizhou was about to send troops in the court, for two days, there was not even any news about Zhang Zhou in the court.

At the same time, Xie Qian was also facing Jinyiwei's investigation, which made him anxious.

On this day, he had just left the palace and was about to return home, but he was blocked by the new right attendant of the household department, Lu Wan who was on duty and listened to the office, Xie Qian didn't want to have any dealings with people from Zhang Zhou's faction, and he was also a little angry after seeing Lu Wan, although no one told him clearly, but he also knew that his investigation by the emperor was somewhat related to Lu Wan.

"Your Excellency has nothing to do, so it's better not to disturb you." Xie Qian's tone towards Lu Wan was also a little unkind.

Lu Wan stepped forward to salute and said very politely: "I came from the military department in Xia Nai, and I wanted to consult Zhang Butang about the transportation of money and grain, but I was told that he had not appeared in front of anyone for three or four days, or had left Beijing now. ”

Xie Qian frowned when he heard this: "He can't leave Beijing, what does he have to do with the old man?" ”

Obviously, Xie Qian didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Zhou.

Lu Wan said: "Xie Ge Lao is angry, I also know that you may have some prejudices against Zhang Butang, but in the context of the simultaneous use of troops in Ningxia, Yansui, Biguan, and Jizhen, should you also put aside your prejudices and sit down to discuss the matter of sending troops together?" ”

"Hmph, the old man consulted with him? The old man is very willing, but can he listen? Quanqing, it's not that the old man doesn't give you face, it's really that a lot of things you are doing now are too much, don't think they didn't tell the old man what you have done, you are now helping Zhang Bingkuan, I don't know and think that he is both the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the household department, it seems that he can adjust whatever he wants from the government and the opposition, as a minister, shouldn't you only care about the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and ignore the others? ”

Xie Qian came up and said to Lu Wan.

Anyway, just get addicted to it first, as for whether Lu Wan holds a grudge or not, it doesn't matter to him.

I thank someone for not having much time left in the court, and the relationship with you Lu Wan is stiff, and we will not run errands under the same roof in the future, what do you think.

Here, Xie Qian had already taken a step to leave, but he heard Lu Wan behind him: "Elder Xie Ge, don't you think that Zhang Butang has left Beijing or has other official business?" This time, troops are being exchanged everywhere in northern Xinjiang, will he also take the lead? ”

Xie Qian didn't reply: "Forget it." The old man has long appreciated Zhang Bingkuan's temperament, he would rather stay in Beijing and be a so-called idle minister who does not ask about the world, and he will not make trouble for himself. Do you really think that the affairs of the frontier can be personally involved in the peddlers and pawns? ”

In other words, he looked down on Zhang Zhou.

Look at your previous military exploits, all of them are achieved by the so-called planning behind the scenes, you are unparalleled in the world, but in terms of actual use of troops, it is still those who have personally been on the battlefield are more awesome.

Lu Wan heard Xie Qian compare Zhang Zhou to a "pawn of a peddler", and he was a little annoyed in his heart.

Originally, Lu Wan didn't regard himself as a traditional Wenchen, and he didn't want to be attached to this group of people, but now that Xie Qian didn't want to see him, he could only sigh and look at Xie Qian away.

……

……

Jizhou Town.

Governor Liu Yu originally received an order to coordinate the dispatch of troops, and also learned that Zhu Feng was about to arrive and would come to him to lead the troops to the battle, and even Liu Yu himself was ready to personally lead the troops to the battlefield.

But he was preparing for a few days, and when Zhu Feng was likely to arrive at Santun Camp two days later, he was told that it was not Zhu Feng who led the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp this time, or it was not simply Zhu Feng, but Cui Yuan.

"Junmen, look at this Cui Horse, it can be said to be magical, he is just a relative of the emperor, but he never thought that he could go to the battlefield in person, I heard that His Majesty has already named him Jingshanbo, if he comes to lead the troops, you may ...... It's not easy to greet. ”

Liu Yu looked at the official letter in his hand and frowned.

But the guest next to him was still there to give him advice, which made Liu Yu even more anxious in his heart.

Liu Yu said: "He came to lead the troops, not to inspect the military affairs and civilian affairs, how to greet him, do you need to consider it in detail?" ”

Liu Yu was originally a man of welcome, and when facing Zhu Feng, he felt that he could easily deal with it, after all, it was only the second generation of the martial arts family, and at best, he was only a current dignitary.

But Cui Yuan is different.

He is the emperor's brother-in-law, sue the emperor or something, just come to the pillow wind, and then people don't have to enter the palace, the eldest princess can bring the words to the emperor, and even sue the queen mother and others in front of the black case.

"I also heard in the next that Cui Juma is very unkind to the people who lead the army and govern the army, when he was in the northwest, he used to work for the Baoguo Gong, and as a result, he repeatedly contradicted the Baoguo Gong in front of people, and he was assigned as a pioneer general by the Baoguo Gong, who knew that he really achieved military exploits, and then the Baoguo Gong was ......"

"Ahem!" Liu Yu listened and coughed.

It's kind of scary.

Although the sin of Bao Guogong is on the surface that he failed to supervise the war and cowered in the face of the enemy, so that he missed the fighter, who knows if anyone is suing behind his back?

The contradiction between Cui Yuan and Zhu Hui alone is not a secret, after all, Zhu Hui has now collapsed, and some strategic ideological disputes between Cui Yuan and Zhu Hui occurred in front of people at that time, so that others will treat this matter as a joke afterwards.

To the present......

The two people who collided with each other, the wealth of Baoguo Gong has become a cloud of the past, but Cui Yuan has soared.

Doesn't that explain the problem?

Liu Yu calmed down and said, "Could it be that this official can't let the governor of the imperial history listen to his dispatch as a martial artist?" Marching and governing the army, that's not something he should worry about! ”

Mu Bin said: "Having said that, it is still difficult to deal with the identity of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and it is still necessary to be gentle on the scene, and it is best to be able to do what he likes, so that he can be willing to use it for you." ”

Liu Yu stood up and paced back and forth in anger.

He was still muttering: "This one is coming, the official wants to do what he likes, and that one wants to do what he likes, but what they like is not a thing at all, some are for fame and some for profit, and there are also people who have both wealth and sex, but this kind of horse that is attached to the royal family, what is he good about?" ”

The curtain guests also heard that Liu Yu actually adopted his opinion.

Although he was complaining that it was a bit humiliating to do what he liked, he didn't want to abandon it, but he was thinking about what Cui Yuan liked.

This illustrates...... is the lord of himself, and he is really a "big man" who can play with the scene.

Mu Bin said: "You also said in the military gate, if you don't want fame, you will give him profit, or fame and fortune will be given to him." As long as the front line has achieved success, wouldn't that also help you? If there is a discord, he will not be able to win this battle, and it will not be easy to deal with His Majesty after he goes back, in fact, it is a mutually beneficial thing. ”

"Say whatever you want." Liu Yudao.

"Come, just make it clear to him, they are all people who want to make contributions to the Ming Dynasty, what is his ability after sending troops, let him go, and let him open his own conditions. I'll tell you what I want. Makubin said.

"Can he be embarrassed to say it? Isn't this a blatant solicitation of bribes? Liu Yu didn't seem to agree with the idea.

"If this had been brought up after the war, it would have been inappropriate, but if he had relied on you before the war, the situation would have been very different." Previously, he contradicted Baoguo Gong, that is, he had nothing, no prestige in the army and no connections, he had no scruples, and now he has become a minister, and he wants to accumulate contacts in the army in the future, do you dare to come up and disagree with you, and break up unhappily? ”

Liu Yu's sad face stretched a little at this time, and he nodded: "It makes sense." He will also rely on his own officials, what am I afraid of him doing? ”

Mu Bin said: "In addition, there is Anbianhou's side, although Anbianhou is famous, but it is said that he is a gentleman, and he relied on Cai Guogong's help before, so he has repeatedly achieved military exploits, this time he comes as long as he does a good job, there should be no deviation." ”

Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that you already have a comprehensive layout, so I will leave this matter to you to arrange." Pay a thousand taels of silver from the account first, for you to socialize and send away, is it enough? ”

Makubin smiled, "Enough." ”

Liu Yu said: "Do things more beautifully, what kind of grain and grass are transferred, what kind of soldiers are paid or something, not a penny is allowed to be in arrears, as for whether the court returns or not, I don't care about it first, since Your Majesty values Jizhou Town now, then I can't let Your Majesty down." ”

"That might cost a lot." ”

"What is it to be stingy? Let the generals below be honest, they have all stopped recently, the shops in the city should be more prosperous, and the people are prosperous, even if they are not officials who supervise the people's situation, they are regarded as the emperors of the imperial court, and they will tell Your Majesty what the situation of local governance is, we are close to Shuntianfu, and we can't deceive the upper and lower ones. ”

"Yes, yes!"

……

……

Outside Datong Town, Weininghai.

Wang Shouren led the troops to set foot in Weininghai again, looking at Weininghaizi in front of him, he had a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Commander, I have sent sentry cavalry to inspect the surrounding area for dozens of miles, and no trace of Tatar activities has been found."

The lieutenant has brought the message.

Wang Shouren nodded slightly, and pointed to the lake in front of him with a horsewhip: "Just bury the stove around here, send troops in the middle of the night, and then go west, all the way will not stop." ”

"Yes!"

The general immediately went to give orders to the three armies.

But at this time, when the Jinyi guard who accompanied the army commanded the king who was doing thousands of household affairs, he rode a horse to his side, and complimented him with a smile: "Wang Junmen, you see that you have just come out of Maoerzhuang for more than a day, and you have arrived at Weininghai, do you want to inspect here, and then report to the imperial court after sacrificing to the queen of heaven by the way?" ”

The tradition of the Wang family is to bow your head when you encounter a powerful person.

Wang Shiben did a good job in the Beijing Division, and even the people of Jinyiwei thought that he might be promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei or the envoy of Beizhen Fusi, but he was temporarily transferred to Datong, and he mainly came to gild this time.

Wang Shouren was still more polite to Wang Shi, and sighed: "The thing about the march is to keep a low profile, and after two days, after entering the depths of the grassland, after encountering the enemy in a few battles, it is good for them to know our whereabouts." If we make a big show of worship now, we are afraid that the Tatars will be on guard, whether we gather our troops and horses to fight against us, or avoid fighting, and leave the choice to them, which is not a good thing for us. ”

Wang Shi wanted Wang Shouren to show the military prestige of the Ming Dynasty, so that the emperor would be happy, and he would be rewarded as soon as he was happy, and even added to the knighthood.

And Wang Shouren's purpose is to be cautious in sending troops, focusing on achieving results.

As for what kind of wolf Juxu or something, it is a bit far away for him Wang Shouren, and it is just a matter of the story.

Knocking the tartar down is more important than anything else.

"In the next few days, I may encounter what kind of situation I will encounter on the steppe, if I am deeply encircled by Tatars, or it will not be easy to return." Wang Shouren said.

Wang Shi said with a smile: "With such a wise and powerful weapon as Xinbo, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy, and the Tatars will definitely not be opponents." ”

Wang Shouren originally wanted to remind Wang Shi of the danger of this trip, but seeing that Wang Shi's attitude was so relaxed, he felt that Wang Shi did not have enough foreknowledge of future dangers, and thought that Wang Shi was now a trusted figure of the emperor and Zhang Zhou, Wang Shouren himself was also a little worried.

Usually Wang Shouren seems to be incomprehensible to affairs, and even makes some ruthless and arrogant moves, but in fact, Wang Shouren himself is from an official eunuch family, how can he not know what kind of officialdom greets?

Today's Wang Shouren also knows who can be offended and who can't.

And Wang Shi in front of him was originally sent to his army to mix military merits, Wang Shouren also understood that he had to complete the emperor's entrustment, not only to bring Wang Shi back intact, but also to put on his military merits, so that he could do everything.

If you want to be promoted in the court, you must understand the "hard work" of those bigwigs.

When you are a general, you can only care about the victory or defeat of the battlefield, while when you are an official, you have to care about the sophistication of people.

……

……

North Korea, the capital of the country, Pyongyang.

Tang Yin and Xu Jing have been in North Korea for nearly two months, except for meeting the king of North Korea and receiving the same reception as emperors, but they can only wait quietly for news.

"Bohu."

Xu Jing came in from outside on this day, specially withdrew the people around him, and spoke to Tang Yin alone, "The news I just learned said that the little king of North Korea has been studying diligently in the past few days, and he looks like he wants to be a Ming monarch, and it seems that he will not give us a chance to trouble him." ”

Tang Yin held the book in his hand, looking listless, but nodded in understanding.

Xu Jing asked, "When will we be able to go back?" ”

Tang Yin said: "Don't worry, you have to wait for the letter." ”

Xu Jing said eagerly: "I thought this was a good or bad thing, but when I got here, I ate and drank every day, they were very polite to us, and they gave us a lot of gifts, and they took up everything, and even wanted to visit their grandson when they saw their lord, but the problem was ...... This is not our home, don't you still have something to deal with in the DPRK? ”

"I'm not in a hurry, are you in a hurry?"

Tang Yin frowned and looked at Xu Jing.

After several years of tempering, Tang Yin's personality is obviously much calmer and heavier.

It's not as flamboyant as it used to be.

There was nothing to express myself before, and I needed to be wandering and make people feel like a madman.

But now as a court official of the Ming Dynasty, although the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry is only the commander of the Yizhou Mountain Factory, he is also a high-ranking official at the ministry level, and he no longer needs external affairs to give himself a strong reputation, and he has already understood the truth of shooting the first bird, and the more flamboyant, the faster he will die.

Xu Jing lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Tang Yin said: "I'm just waiting." If we come, just as an envoy, then there is no point in leaving us here, but I always feel ...... Something seems wrong. It seems like...... Someone is going to put the once deposed king of Joseon ...... Get it back! In fact, I am not sure what His Majesty and Cai Guogong mean. (End of chapter)
