Zhang Zhou gave Yongkang an explanation, just to let her understand the importance of transferring troops to Liaodong, and also to show that this is the overall strategic situation, and it should not be changed because of your children's personal feelings.

This can be regarded as blocking Yongkang's mouth, so that she can't ask questions like "why is my family going".

"Eldest princess, if there is nothing to do, it is best that you and I don't meet, after all, you and I do not overlap in affairs, and it is not good to meet like this." Zhang Zhou is a kind reminder.

Yongkang said: "You and I are on the same road, even if we meet, can others still criticize it?" I don't believe that anyone dares to chew the root of the tongue, this palace is not afraid of this kind of rumors, I believe that Mr. Zhang, you should not be afraid, right? Offended you...... I heard that it didn't end well. ”

"Really?" Zhang Zhou smiled indifferently and said, "I'm very free-spirited." ”

"But you don't care about it, and you don't give people a way to live, just like that Xie Ge Lao, I heard that he doesn't have a good life now." Yongkang Road.

Zhang Zhou raised his hand to signal Yongkang to stop.

If this is known by the emperor, with Zhu Youji's temper, and knowing that his sister is talking about Xie Qian in private, doesn't it mean that you, the eldest princess, are not comfortable being a boudoir woman, and want to find a way out for your husband while trying to interfere in court politics?

Even the queen has no right to ask, what qualifications do you, the eldest princess, have to say anything about this?

"Your Highness, a letter has come from the camp, saying that it is a letter from Jingshanbo from Jizhou." Outside, there was the voice of the entourage brought by Yongkang.

Probably the outside is also worried that the eldest princess inside will get along with Zhang Zhou if there is something not very good, which can be regarded as "relieving" Yongkang.

"Got it."

Yongkang stood up and walked towards the door, but he also said as if pleading: "Even if the horse has to go to Liaodong, I hope that Mr. Zhang will look at the past and let him not have to charge into battle." In the past two years, the horse has led the troops to rush to the front many times, and people's good lives will not be accompanied forever. Hongu wants him to be safe. ”

With credit, I began to hope for peace and security.

Zhang Zhouxin said, this is really different from the mentality when you pushed your husband to the battlefield.

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "Although there is no affection between me and the eldest princess, but following His Majesty's wishes, it is not to let Cui Yuma take risks, I have written down this matter." But it is impossible to lead the troops outside without the slightest danger. Please come back. ”

As soon as Yongkang heard it, he knew that Zhang Zhou was unwilling to give a promise.

It sounds very good, it seems to give her face, but in fact, Zhang Zhou's words are equivalent to not saying it.

Even if Zhang Zhou arranged Cui Yuan to be a pioneer officer, it didn't seem to violate today's words.

"No wonder Your Excellency can be invincible in the court, Your Majesty still trusts it so much, it seems that it is really not something that a woman in this palace can deal with, and this palace will ask Mr. Zhang again if there is something." Mr. Zhang doesn't have to send him off, this palace will go first! ”

When Yongkang left, he had a little more of the posture of the eldest princess, and the steps he took were not as small as those of ordinary women in the boudoir.

Even Guo Ang and the others, who were guarding the door, felt that the eldest princess walked like a man, and she was vigorous.

……

……

"Grandpa, are you okay? Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, he ......"

Seeing off the guests, Guo Ang still cared about Zhang Zhou's every move as usual.

Zhang Zhou glanced at him, and said in his heart, I don't know, I still think that this is for me to be a supervisor, to find out all my whereabouts for Jinyiwei, so that I can report to the past?

Because Guo Ang was not promoted by Zhang Zhou in the first place, and Guo Ang was reluctantly transferred this time, the two only had a face-saving courtesy, and did not reach the tacit understanding of the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Zhang Zhou said: "The eldest princess is here to say something for the concubine, and the concubine will lead the troops to Liaodong as the chief soldier of Jizhou, and it is likely to set off with the ship." Because she hadn't been told about it in advance, she would have some questions. ”

Guo Ang thought about it, and said cautiously: "If this time it is to send troops to Liaodong, it is indeed the best choice to use Cui Luma to fight bloodily several times, and to lead the troops." ”

This is probably saying along with Zhang Zhou's meaning, which can be regarded as a kind of stammering with Zhang Zhou in words.

seems to understand the meaning of doing this, that is, let Cui Yuan strike while the iron is hot, just lead the troops to win, and then play the next game, which can be regarded as a blow.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Cui Juma led the troops to Liaodong, but because there were too many soldiers and horses transferred everywhere, he had to increase the number of people and horses in Jizhou, and he went not as a front-line general." What really wants to rush to the front is the men and horses of Liaodong itself, as well as the reinforcements transferred back from North Korea. Don't think about it. ”

Do you understand why I did this?

Don't be sentimental, you Guo Ang is just a Jinyi Weizhong, and you are not qualified to discuss the rationality of the military plan, now I will tell you this, it is already considered to give you face, you had better still get acquainted, and stop caring about things that have nothing to do with your errands.

Guo Ang also seemed to hear that Zhang Zhou didn't have much trust in him, so he hurriedly saluted and retired.

But before the person had gone far, he saw Sun Shangqi coming in a hurry.

The two took a look at each other, and before Sun Shangqi saluted Guo Ang, Guo Ang passed by Sun Shangqi as if he was in a hurry to do something.

"Grandpa." Sun Shangqi came into the room and gave Zhang Zhou a salute.

Zhang Zhoudao: "How? ”

Sun Shangqi said: "Over there in the port, sixty large ships have been transferred, plus some sea ships transporting troops, more than two hundred. ”

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "Although these sea ships are not bad in terms of specifications, they are still not enough compared to ocean-going ships. However, it is more than enough to transport soldiers and horses and grain and grass to Liaodong, and you may have to be bothered to make a trip, so first hurry up and go to the port, and complete all the preliminary preparations, and I will arrive six or seven days later than you. ”

"Yes." Sun Shangqi saluted.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Has your appointment come down?" ”

Sun Shangqi said: "Yes, I was promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and I didn't elaborate on the errand, and the people and horses of the original team are still dispatched from humble positions, and the other is to obey your orders." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Zhou nodded, "You have been running errands a lot recently, and tossing back and forth like this is also treating you lightly, and when you finish the recent things, you can rest more." In addition, help me pass a secret recital to Beijing, which is directly reported to His Majesty, even if you are not there, you can arrange for someone to send it to me. Don't make mistakes. ”

Sun Shangqi hurriedly saluted again: "The humble duty must be completed with all his might." ”

……

……

Inside the capital.

In the court of the Criminal Department, Liu Yu, the former governor of Jizhou Town, who had just been transferred out of the Imperial Prison, came exhausted, he had already hung colors, but when he came, he had already changed into clean clothes, and his people would be transferred to the cells of the Criminal Department, but they were specially entertained.

Li Shishi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, personally received him.

"Brother Liu, you have worked hard." Li Shishi looked very concerned, and as a waiter, he stepped forward to salute Liu Yu.

This made Liu Yu very surprised.

During this period of imprisonment, he thought that he would be killed at any time, and there was no possibility of getting out safely, and he would be convicted of exile at the least.

Who knew that as soon as he was transferred to the Criminal Department, he was treated well by Li Shishi, which flattered him.

Liu Yu said: "Li Shilang, don't be like this, sinners don't dare to live with you." ”

Li Shishi greeted and said, "Come on, prepare a chair for this Lord Liu." ”

"Yes."

Someone immediately brought a chair that looked like a stool, that is, there was an armrest next to it, and there was not even a backrest behind it.

Because of the peculiar shape of this chair, Liu Yu will be a little scared when he sees it, he is very afraid of what kind of torture tool this is, if Li Shishi just pretends to be him, and then he will use punishment and so on to teach him a lesson?

But fortunately, he was too careful, and he was indeed allowed to sit down, and the chair was indeed used for no purpose outside of sitting.

Li Shishi also sat on a chair with almost the same shape, the two sat side by side, Li Shishi took a thing that looked like a case file in his hand, and said: "Although the case is still unclear, since I am here, it will be almost time to get out of prison." ”

After Liu Yu heard this, he was a little excited and asked, "Is it fast?" ”

"Hmm." Li Shishi nodded and said, "Based on what I have investigated in many ways, it should be the beginning of the year, not to mention that your case is not serious, just say that you still have a backer behind you, and this matter can be properly resolved." ”

Liu Yu wiped his cold sweat and said: "I don't have any backing, I'm alone." ”

"How can you say that? Don't worry about anyone listening, it's just a conversation between you and me. Li Shishi said, "What I said is neither Xie Ge Lao, nor the Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, but Cai Guogong, it seems that your case was caused by Cai Guogong, but you must know that someone actually ordered you, and Cai Guogong had to ask you for the crime." ”

With Liu Yu's political consciousness, of course, he will not take this stubble casually.

"Your case involves money and money, and all aspects of the investigation, but someone is trying to involve Cai Guogong behind you in order to let you, so you may not have received any kind treatment in Beizhen Fusi. But luckily, you withstood it. Li Shishi continued.

Liu Yu didn't dare to speak now.

Resisted?

What are you kidding, at first I was biting to the death, but then I was tortured, and I confessed whatever I confessed, even if it was a matter of slapping myself in the face, I didn't do less.

Today I admit that I am greedy for 10,000 taels, tomorrow I will say that my backer is Xie Qian, and the day after tomorrow I will say that I listened to Cai Guogong, but I did not deny it...... After all, you're right, as long as you give me a good time, I don't want to get out alive.

Even before Liu Yu was transferred to the Criminal Department, he thought that his compromise had played a role.

Li Shishi said: "But your identity is too special, Liu Gelao, Xie Gelao and Ma Shangshu have all recommended you one after another, but you finally complimented Cai Guogong very much, don't blame me for speaking ugly, you are so two-faced, no matter who you are, you are not very good at protecting you." ”

Liu Yuxin said, isn't it because of who is in power and who I will take refuge in? Besides, Liu Jian and the others recommended me at the beginning, but they nominally valued my ability, and I didn't give them much benefit.

Who made me make a good political achievement at that time?

Li Shishi said again: "Raise here for a period of time, at the latest for a month, I will guarantee you out." If the conditions are not allowed, I will not drink with you, and I will drink and feast after going out to wash the dust for you. ”

Here Li Shishi was about to beckon someone to send Liu Yu into the cell, and Liu Yu asked: "Li Shilang, dare to ask, why are you so ...... Don't care? ”

Li Shishi said with a smile: "As a minister in the same palace, is it really necessary to be so absolute?" I heard that many people know that you are in prison and have a clear relationship with you, but I know that your official career will not be stopped because of this. I also know that you may be transferred to Jiang Gan......"

"Huh?"

Liu Yu was shocked in his heart at this time.

He seemed to understand why Li Shishi could retain such kindness even though he knew that he was a criminal minister.

Feelings, your gossip is a bit of a lottery.

Not only do you know that I will be out in a month, but you also know that I will be transferred to your hometown of Jiangxi? How do you know that? Also, is your message true? Don't make me rejoice in vain.

Li Shishi said: "Peace of mind and wait for news." Come on, send Lord Liu back, but remember that everything is the best condition, and whoever dares to slack off will never be spared. After a while, Lord Liu will still be Lord Liu, don't get along with the things around your neck. ”

……

……

Palace.

Zhu Youzhu received a secret recital from Zhang Zhou from Yongping Mansion.

Because Zhu Youzhu was still reviewing the music at that time, Chen Kuan and Wei Bin not far away were watching, and Zhu Youzhu just opened it and read it, so he put it away directly, and found a paperweight to press, which made Chen Kuan and others realize that if there was no emperor's permission, whoever opened it and read it, it would be no different from looking for death.

"Ahem." Zhu Youzhu coughed twice unconsciously.

Chen Kuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty should rest early, it's almost time for dinner." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Don't worry, let me approve a few more copies." I'm in good spirits today...... Bring me a few more copies, doesn't it matter? ”

Chen Kuan hurriedly looked back at Wei Bin.

Wei Bin took one and walked over and said: "Your Majesty, there is only this one, it is related to the Yizhou Mountain Factory, and the person who said that it is the person in charge has not arrived, and many things have been delayed, especially when it comes to charcoal procurement in the coming year, which have been delayed for a long time." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "It's time to arrange a personal replacement." After all, Tang Yin has been in North Korea for a long time. ”

"Then Your Majesty, are you ......" Chen Kuan wanted to ask if he wanted to transfer people back.

Halfway through the question, Chen Kuan didn't say anything more.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Tang Yin has a heavy responsibility, when he comes back from North Korea, he will be transferred to Liaodong, and he will lead the troops, he has proved himself in Liaodong at the beginning." Do you have any recommendations for Yizhou? ”

Chen Kuan thought about it, the emperor actually took the initiative to ask him what officials he wanted to recommend?

Originally, this matter was not under his control, and even the officials could not make a hasty decision, and the Admiral Yizhou Shanchang, as an official at the level of a squire, had to be discussed by the court.

Chen Kuan immediately said: "Li Shishi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department." ”

When Chen Kuan brought this person up, even Wei Bin couldn't help but glance at it.

In the end, Admiral Yizhou Shanchang is just a temporary waiter, not a full-time officer, and Li Shishi is already a full-time right waiter of the Criminal Department, why let him go? Demotion to Li Shishi?

"Yes." Zhu Youzhu said, "The matter of Yizhou, and the coal in Xishan in the future, it is time to upgrade." The squire is not enough, the next step ...... should be hung with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, with Li Shishi's experience, he is indeed qualified. (End of chapter)
