Chapter 646: It is better to govern one than to govern a country
Flower Horse Pond.
Zhang Mao took a few notes one after another, asking for Zhishi to return to his hometown, and said that he couldn't do it and wanted to hand over the errand to his son Yunyun...... Probably means that he doesn't want to suffer in the northwest anymore, anyway, when he returns to Beijing, he can still stabilize the basic plate of the British government with his strength, as for Zhang Rui...... When you are a son, you still don't listen to Lao Tzu's reasoning?
As long as Jingying is in hand, even if it is Zhang Rui's manager, it is no different from my Zhang Mao's manager.
"Grandpa, it's almost the New Year, but I still haven't heard about the little grandfather's reward and merit, and the matter of your return to Beijing, I'm afraid it will be delayed."
Zhong Decai is still conscientious, and he is also inquiring in many ways, but Huamachi, a place where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, he really can't find out more information.
Zhang Mao sat at the head of the city, looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and sighed: "It's going to snow again, and the gloomy clouds are just like that." ”
Zhong Decai felt the same way when he heard it.
He applied for the job of being a guest of the British government, waiting for a good life in Beijing, and waiting for others to stammer, who knew that now he followed Zhang Mao to this place where birds don't, and he Zhong Decai could have a better time in his heart?
"I don't know what kind of errand I will get, will I stay in the northwest, or will I be transferred to another place? Alas! Zhang Mao felt sorry for himself.
Zhong Decai said: "Grandpa, what else, let's go to Datong and ask for details?" ”
"No." Zhang Mao said, "The old man is already sorry for him in the previous matter, when his father pulled the family back, my son must want to do a good job under the new uncle, if I will write it, I am afraid it will embarrass him." ”
Zhong Decai smiled bitterly: "Let's just ask the little grandfather about the arrangement of his errands, there shouldn't be so many worries, right?" ”
Zhang Mao said: "You don't know, Wang Bo'an is Zhang Bingkuan's person, if I write and ask, others will think that I am putting pressure on Wang Bo'an, and some people will say that I rely on the old and sell the old." It's nothing to others, but if Your Majesty thinks so, then I'...... It hurt my son. ”
Zhong Decai couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this.
This Englishman still sounds like a benevolent father, since you are so thoughtful, why is it you who are deflated now?
As he was talking, at the staircase at the head of the city, Liu Jing hurriedly ran over, and shouted from afar: "Grandpa, grandpa, happy event, happy event." ”
Zhang Mao and Zhong Decai looked at Liu Jing at the same time with the eyes of the monster.
But seeing Liu Jing running closer, he was out of breath and said: "The imperial court has just issued an edict, and Ling Lang has been officially promoted to the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu, and he will be transferred to Xuanfu immediately." Jiangmen Huzi. ”
Zhang Mao couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Zhong Decai said: "What kind of happy event is this? Master Hou, do you think our grandfather just wants the little grandfather to go to Xuanfu to be a deputy commander-in-chief? ”
Liu Jing said with a smile: "If you have merit, not to mention that you have been rewarded, you can also be entrusted with important tasks, isn't this a happy event?" Grandpa, don't mind too much, I believe Your Majesty will transfer you back soon. ”
"Fart!" Zhang Mao scolded and scolded, "Lao Tzu is now exiled and distributed, now he is neither the chief soldier of Ningxia, nor even a formal military position, these rabbit cubs under his command are waiting to eat, drink and Lazar every day, and Lao Tzu has to feed them, where is the money and food?" It's such a place, I don't want to stay for a day. ”
Liu Jing couldn't help but have a bitter face when he heard this, and the great change in his mood also made Zhong Decai feel that he was an acting school in front of him.
Liu Jing said with a depressed face: "Grandpa, who isn't?" There really isn't even a scene here, or we will ask Your Majesty for your life and transfer us to Ningxia Town. ”
"Don't go!"
Zhang Mao seemed to be in a temper, and he seemed very stubborn and said, "Whoever wants to go will go, Lao Tzu just doesn't want to make trouble for His Majesty and the court now, it's better that they forget me now, and when they think about something when they look back, they will feel that Lao Tzu has suffered a loss here, otherwise...... Even if Lao Tzu dies here, he will not return to the capital. ”
When Zhong Decai heard this, he was even more surprised.
If you want to talk about the acting school, it is still the British public who is more skilled.
Obviously, he was looking back at returning to Beijing, and he was complaining in front of him just now, why did he go to the outsider's side and pretend to be like this?
Liu Jingdao: "Grandpa, I want to ask you something, Cai Guogong's side...... Did you find someone to give a gift? ”
Zhang Mao exhaled angrily: "Gifts? What to give? Lao Tzu can't do without Ningxia now, and he still has to count on others to help? Others are obviously speaking ill of each other, but they still want the old man to greet people with a smile? You want to send it yourself, find someone to send it. Decai, there will be nothing to do in the future, don't let irrelevant people and others disturb the old man, the old man is inspecting military affairs, and he is leaving! ”
"Grandpa......" Liu Jing didn't expect Zhang Mao to be so difficult to speak.
But Zhang Mao didn't give him a chance to continue entanglement.
"Master Hou, don't be too reluctant."
When Zhang Maoren left, Zhong Decai said with a smile, "Grandpa is worrying these days, don't add fuel to the fire." ”
Liu Jing asked, "...... over there in the capital?"
Zhong Decai smiled and said: "What do you want to do, you don't have to discuss it with your grandfather, it doesn't matter if we two are not?" Grandpa is now very afraid that His Majesty will pursue the Duke of Baoguo...... Delve into some of the details, so ...... Hehe. ”
Liu Jing said: "No wonder, no wonder. I still have something to say, so I bother Mr. Zhong to tell me. I heard that there are a lot of notes about the impeachment of the British Duke in the Jingshi, and Your Majesty may have recently ......"
"Hands-free." Zhong Decai raised his hand and said, "You and I just know in our hearts, you don't have to tell your grandfather, your grandfather will know a little bit." Let's just not talk about it...... A few words can be peaceful. ”
Liu Jing was puzzled: "If we don't talk about it, will it be gone?" ”
Zhong Decai sighed: "Let's keep a good relationship first, this will be a good thing for the ministers to impeach our father-in-law, which shows that our father-in-law does not form a party for personal gain." If you don't participate in the impeachment, Your Majesty may want to investigate it even more. ”
Liu Jing suddenly felt that he was defeated by Zhong Decai's strange thinking, and he said: "I'm not afraid that Your Majesty will borrow the slope to get off the donkey......"
"Master Hou, this is a bit disrespectful." Zhong Decai reminded.
"That's the truth." Liu Jingdao.
At this time, Zhong Decai was also a little annoyed, frowned, and raised his voice an octave: "Master Hou, you said that everyone understands this truth, so what can you do?" Others have participated in the impeachment, and they have lost face, can they say in front of their grandfather, is this thing gone? What is the use of the light going to say here? Is this something we can solve here? ”
Liu Jing blinked, as if this was the truth.
Zhong Decai said: "We can't help now, and we always let my grandfather worry about it, do you think my grandfather can not get angry?" What's the use of doing a favor? Master Hou, isn't your house quite powerful? Can you have a relationship with the old lady in the palace? Then hurry up and find a way to squeak, and grandpa is waiting for you to come out with a bright lead! ”
"Hey, got it."
Liu Jing was stunned by Zhong Decai, and when he turned around to go down the city tower, he suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said, "Is the gift still give?" ”
"Love to send or not, the two have nothing to do with each other, don't want to advance and retreat together! This time, there is still a little grandfather in the British Mansion, who is in your family? Don't always try to put gold on your face! I couldn't help, so I dispelled the idea of forming an alliance as soon as possible. Zhong Decai's tone also hardened.
Liu Jing couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
I thought it was a difficult brother, but now it seems that the British duke is still angry, and even a Xixi can point fingers at him.
Liu Jing thought to himself, if he didn't want to go back to the capital again, he was afraid that if he stayed here, he would be cleaned up by this British prince first!
has no military merits, it's not easy to mix.
……
……
Zhang Zhou is about to leave for Yongping Mansion.
Leaving at noon, I have to enter the palace to see Zhu Youzhu once in the morning, which is considered a formal resignation, there was no such link in Zhang Zhou's plan, but it may be that Zhu Youzhu is too inseparable from Zhang Zhou, and he feels that it is not enough to see him two or three times a day before leaving.
Inside the West Warm Pavilion.
Zhu Youzhi was in a very good mental state, saying that he was recuperating from his illness, but in fact, his illness had basically healed, and he took Zhang Zhou to enjoy some calligraphy and paintings.
But Zhang Zhou really had no interest, although he knew that these paintings and calligraphy were indeed very valuable, but the paintings and calligraphy that could not be exchanged for silver did not mean much to him, because he had no interest in collecting these things.
Life doesn't bring what death doesn't bring, so why care so much?
"Bingkuan, this time you go to Yongping Mansion, I am going to let four people go with you, which can be regarded as having a care for you." Zhu Youzhu rushed to the road.
Zhang Zhoudao: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I don't know who it is?" ”
It was the mode of their relationship that allowed Zhang Zhou to ask such questions.
Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "First Yang Peng and Guo Ang, they used to help you do things, you knew this earlier, and after you went, you called it with the table, and your words were as good as mine." ”
Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty has tormented the ministers, where do the ministers dare to drive them casually?" ”
"You're welcome." Zhu Youzhu said, "This third person took the initiative to ask for an order. Recently, the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain also has people in Beijing, have you heard of it? ”
Zhang Zhouxin said, could it be that Zhang Xuanqing wanted to go to Yongping Mansion with him?
"Yes." Zhang Zhoudao.
"It was the Zhang family who asked for his life, saying that he wanted the same sect to walk with you alone, but he didn't say that he wanted to worship you, but he only said that he wanted to study the Dao with you more, and his attitude was very sincere." Zhu Youzhu said with a smile.
Zhang Zhoudao: "It's nothing, I'm afraid it will bring some trouble." ”
"Uh, Bingkuan, you have this concern? That's what I thought, too. Zhu Youzhu said, "If Zhang Xuanqing or his peers want to go with you, I will think that they want to compete with you in the Dao and win a reputation or something, so as to suppress you." But what I asked was just to let a little girl from the Zhang clan go with you, she was Zhang Xuanqing's eldest daughter, only eleven or twelve years old, and I thought it was feasible. ”
Zhang Zhou couldn't help but feel strange when he heard it.
Zhang Xuanqing: What does this mean?
The Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain will lose its reputation because of his rise Zhang Zhou, Zhang Xuanqing still wants to send a daughter to him Zhang Zhou to "study Taoism"?
Is it to verify whether he Zhang Zhou can do Taoism, or is it intended to let this little girl compare him Zhang Zhou in Taoism, so as to puncture the myth that he Zhang Zhou is a half-immortal?
Zhu Youzhu said: "I think that this group of people in Longhu Mountain has some foundation and path, and they also have some fame among the people. There's no need for you to tear your face with them, and since they are so sincere in asking, then I will allow it. Before leaving, Zhang Xuanqing will go to feed you, if he doesn't behave well, then you don't have to pay attention to this stubble, I said that I didn't answer this matter. ”
"I understand."
Zhang Zhou really understood Zhu Youji's hard work.
Zhu Youzhi is planning to be a peacemaker, lest Zhang Zhou and Zhengyi have a conflict, otherwise there will be a lot of people in Zhengyi, and it will not be good to come to find trouble.
In addition, he Zhang Zhou is now a political figure, and he usually does not use Taoist affairs as a means to establish himself, but to take more care of court affairs, so the emperor did not force him to reach a reconciliation with Zhengyi Zhongren.
It can even be said to be a gift.
The attitude of your people is sincere, and that gives you the opportunity to cling to Bingkuan, if not, you can stay where you are.
"There is another person, hehe, Bingkuan, guess who it is." Zhu Youzhi suddenly asked with a smile on his face.
Zhang Zhou knew from Zhu Youji's emotional changes that he was a person who was very difficult to guess with common sense, so he hurriedly said: "The minister can't guess." ”
Zhu Youzhu didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said with a smile: "It's Yongkang, my sister, she went with you." Don't get me wrong, her trip was also mentioned by herself, saying that it started from Maoren going to the northwest, and the two have not had a chance to get along. ”
Zhang Zhouxin said, what did I misunderstand? They have a deep relationship with each other, and at most they are on the same road with me.
It's not even the same way.
Zhu Youzhu said: "Yongkang was very willful before, but now it seems that she also respects you, which is good." If she's the same as before...... I can't trust her! ”
Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty, the minister will get along well with the eldest princess of Yongkang." ”
"But ah, she is going to the camp in Jizhou Town, and she will also go to some gifts to reward the three armies, etc., after all, she is a woman, and she has never been far away, and she can take care of it after leaving Beijing. I'll thank you first. Zhu Youzhu said.
"Your Majesty is serious, the minister should take good care of Princess Yongkang." Zhang Zhoudao.
Take care?
How to take care of it?
It's just a gesture on the number of courtesies.
Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "Originally, there was someone who wanted to go, but I wouldn't agree." It's not easy to get him to take care of it. ”
This is Zhu Houzhao.
"And then there's me...... If I feel better after the beginning of spring, I may go there myself, and I have always wanted to go for a walk. Zhu Youzhu was suddenly very interested.
Originally, the monarch and ministers discussed that they would go on an expedition together, but before the expedition, it would not affect them to go to Yongping Mansion to go to the spring together, or to observe the people's feelings.
However, the process of the emperor's tour was too cumbersome, and the ministers generally did not agree, even if they were later fooling around, such as Zhu Houzhao, they could not get the support of the ministers in the matter of going on patrol, and they were repeatedly frustrated, either fleeing on their own, or with the help of the southern expedition to get out of Beijing.
Zhu Youzhi also seems to know very well that it is not easy to go on patrol, so he said so.
"Anyway, go early and come back early." Zhu Youzhu smiled and patted Zhang Zhou on the shoulder and said, "It is better to govern one party than to govern a country, and you are indispensable by my side." If you have anything missing, you can tell me at any time, and whoever doesn't cooperate with you will be against me! I will not be spared! (End of chapter)
