Chapter 415: The minister drifted for half his life
Although it seems to be miserable, Wu Changhui is already very satisfied, and the ending is better than he expected.
Although he lost his position, the emperor still arranged an errand for him, and asked him to see if there were any omissions in the training method of the Northern Fourth Guard according to the actual situation of the Junggar army and the steppe army.
After watching it today, Wu Changhui was really shocked, and he was even more surprised by Zhu Jinghong's talent in military affairs, otherwise he would not have come up with these tricks.
"It's really good practice, but I don't know how powerful it can be on the battlefield...... You say yes, right? β
While Wu Changhui was thinking, Sun Shaozu, the commander of the Yongning Guard behind him, looked at the cloth cloth at the height of the sentry tower.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Wu Changhui turned around and followed Sun Shaozu's gaze to the sentry tower.
"General, that is His Royal Highness King Xiang?" Sun Shaozu asked.
Although he has only been in Beijing for two days, Sun Shaozu has already heard a lot about Zhu Jinghong's deeds, and he has become more and more curious about this master.
"You didn't see Jiang Qingsheng following behind like a slave, who else could it be if it wasn't this master!"
Wu Changhui's remarks obviously ridiculed Jiang Qingsheng, and it can also be seen that they are both powerful and noble, and they always have some grievances with each other.
"I heard it yesterday...... His Royal Highness King Xiang was demoted because of the choice of concubines, and he was only afraid of ...... if he angered the saint."
Speaking of this, Sun Shaozu stopped, obviously the next words were too taboo.
"Even what?" Wu Changhui asked.
"I'm afraid that even the prince can't keep it!" Sun Shaozu said in a low voice, even if there was no one else around.
"If that's the case, do you think Jiang Qingsheng will see him again? Will it be so flattering? Wu Changhui asked with a smile, scoffing at Sun Shaozu's statement.
In Wu Changhui's view, Zhu Jinghong continues to make big and small mistakes, and now he is still named a prince, and he can also replace the emperor in Shanglin Yuan, and his holy family is simply outrageous.
More Wu Changhui was reluctant to say more, but he warned the juniors to have more contact with this master.
Although he Wu Changhui was dismissed, he was still a dignified Anbo, his eldest son had been in charge of the Beijing camp, and his grandson was only added to the Dragon Guard last year, and the family inheritance is still the same.
"Every day, the five military governments inquire, and they all say the truth, and you can't ......admit that you are killed if you don't say what you shouldn't say."
"You can rest assured...... I still have some face in the Fifth Military Mansion, and I won't make it too difficult for you! β
Wu Changhui has people who have bad friends among the powerful nobles, and naturally there are also a group of people who are good friends with him, and the problem of passing the test for Sun Shaozu is not a big problem.
And he must also pay attention to this matter, otherwise Sun Shaozu's accident is likely to implicate him.
"Thank you, General!"
"In the afternoon, I have an appointment with the Duke of Xuguo, so I will go back first...... Let's go! β
Although Sun Shaozu is on the rise, in the final analysis, he is a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, and he is not qualified to be involved in the upper-level noble circle for the time being.
"The general pleases first, I want to see it again!" Sun Shaozu is extremely self-aware.
"Okay...... You young people, you should learn more and watch more! β
After bidding farewell to Wu Changhui, Sun Shaozu's eyes turned back to the school grounds, but he still looked at Zhu Jinghong on the watchtower.
He is a shrewd and capable person, and he just said that Zhu Jinghong would be cut off, but he was just hiding it in front of Wu Changhui.
He will be smart when he should be smart, and he will be stupid when he should be stupid, so he can always seize the opportunity to rise to the top.
Due to the collapse of the situation in the northwest, Sun Shaozu felt that his future was bleak, and now he was desperate to find a backer, so that the road of the glorious lintel could continue.
And Zhu Jinghong in front of him is the best backer he thinks.
One is that this master likes martial arts, and his grandson Shaozu is also a professional counterpart; Second, this Ye Tan (year) rate (light) Geng (good) straight (deceit), he is more likely to succeed.
Sun Shaozu felt that it was very normal for Zhu Jinghong to be "cheating", because Zhu Jinghong had been reckless for more than ten years, and no one would think that he had been pretending since he was a child.
Therefore, Zhu Jinghong is very grateful to his predecessor for more than ten years, and fully set up a character so that he can easily take over the baton, and his consistent "recklessness" for more than ten years will not make people doubt him, this is the real predecessor planting trees and future generations enjoying the shade.
Looking at Zhu Jinghong, who was dressed in cloth but still in high spirits, Sun Shaozu felt that he should go in to pay respects.
Although he is a dignified commander, it is not easy for him to meet a prince like Zhu Jinghong, and he really can't let go of this opportunity today.
It's just that there are a lot of people around Zhu Jinghong at this moment, and it seems too abrupt to go directly to greet him, so Sun Shaozu can only rely on the side to act at the opportunity.
About a few minutes later, Zhu Jinghong set off and walked to the sentry tower, accompanied by Hou Jing, Jiang Qingsheng and others, and Sun Shaozu had no chance to speak alone.
After encouraging Jiang Qingsheng, Zhu Jinghong took people away from the Yulin Left Guard, and he planned to go to the Yulin Right Guard to have a look at the next stop.
While he was wandering around Shanglin Yuan, the emperor in the Qianqing Palace finally got up and started to move after reading today's recital.
The situation in the Northwest was still complicated and chaotic, and he had to think about another matter, who to send to the Governor of the Northwest to fight.
The Northwest War will be a big war, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Xingdu Division, the Qinghai Xingdu Division will also send troops to participate in the war.
Gansu, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, as well as the soldiers and horses drawn from the Beijing battalion, will also be put into battle.
With so many troops to fight together, you have to send high-level generals to be able to suppress the scene, and in short, you can only choose from the governors of the five military capitals.
Although there are ten governors on the left and right combined, except for the elderly and poor health, and a few people who have other errands, there are only four or five alternatives.
Ability, resume, family relationships...... The choice of the governor should be considered comprehensively, and it is really not easy to decide.
Compared with the importance of the situation in the northwest, the disturbance of the people in a county in Jinling is not so important.
Liang Qian, the governor of Jinling, is now investigating the case in a big way, and more than 20 gentry have been questioned and taken down, and news has come one after another in recent days.
As for the rioters, hundreds of people have been arrested, including almost 1,000 people with their families, and the Jinling Metropolitan Division is proceeding to escort them to Annam.
Of course, there are more than hundreds of rioters, but if they are really caught, I am afraid that Liyang will have half of the population, and neither the Liyang County Government nor the local gentry will be willing.
And really moving half of the population of Liyang is indeed a very troublesome and complicated matter, and Liang Qian knows the proportions very well.
It is necessary to stop in moderation to catch the troublemakers, but digging deep into the gentry who are making trouble behind them is an errand that must be done seriously.
Liang Qian will hand over the recital every day, on the one hand, to explain the current situation, and at the same time to ask for instructions on the next step, highlighting a prudence.
Because Jinling and Luoyang are far apart, it takes a long time to ask for instructions and instructions, which also reduces the efficiency of handling affairs, and it is impossible to complete the trial of this case a year ago.
Although the progress of the case was slow, it also made the gentry all over the world see that the determination of the imperial court to implement the Qingzhang is by no means something that can be stopped by making trouble, unless someone pulls the flag to rebel to stop it.
Rebel...... Now that the imperial court is strong, rebellion is completely tantamount to death, wouldn't it be better to really have the courage to do something else.
"You mean...... Old Thirteen is still wearing a cloth shirt? β
Whatever the emperor likes to hear, Cheng Ying will tell him to relieve his boredom, and today is naturally Zhu Jinghong's business.
But Cheng Ying didn't expect that the emperor's focus was on clothes, rather than the training of the North Fourth Guard today.
"Exactly!"
"Didn't he send his crown clothes the day before yesterday?" Zhu Xianming asked rhetorically.
"It's sent, but the Thirteenth Master hasn't changed it in the past two days, and he's still wearing his previous clothes!"
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming immediately sneered: "What does he mean?" What does this bastard mean? β
"Slaves don't ...... Ignorance! Cheng Ying stammered and replied.
"Send someone early tomorrow morning to take back all his clothes, so that he will not be embarrassed!" Zhu Xianming said coldly.
"Yes!"
There is no shame in wearing cloth clothes, but it is a shame to wear them on a royal formal occasion.
The day after tomorrow is the Laba Festival, and the royal family will have a regular family banquet, Zhu Xianming was afraid that Zhu Jinghong would "mess around" at that time, so he ordered someone to collect his clothes.
The clothes were collected, which meant the end of Zhu Jinghong's personal cultivation, which was also the result of the queen's forced request.
If the crown prince and the sixth child knew that the emperor's father even had to take care of Zhu Jinghong's clothes, they would definitely be pantothenic and jealous.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong didn't know about this, and he only embarked on the way back after a busy morning.
Hou Jing, Lu Yuxin and others were accompanied, and everyone sent them to the vicinity of the pro-cultivation place, only to be greeted and left by Zhu Jinghong.
There is Baochai in his residence, and it is really inconvenient for these people to go, so it is naturally better to drive them away early.
Whistling with his back hand, he walked along the dirt road to the front, there were various warehouse buildings on both sides, and from time to time eunuchs passed by, and when they saw Zhu Jinghong, they had to salute and greet him.
"I've seen the Thirteenth Master!"
Looking at the person who appeared in front of him, Zhu Jinghong felt very strange, and only felt that this person was raw and gloomy.
Sun Shaozu couldn't have imagined that he was just appearing for the first time, which made Zhu Jinghong look unpleasant, and his first impression was extremely poor.
Looking at the man saluting in front of him, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Who are you?" β
"Returning to the Thirteenth Master, Chen'an Xixing Du Si Yongningwei commanded Sun Shaozu!"
"Oh...... Well? Who do you say you are? Zhu Jinghong's eyes widened.
Even if he is not familiar with the Red Mansion, he knows the three words Sun Shaozu and knows that this is a famous domestic violence man.
"Minister...... Chen Yongningwei commanded the envoy, Sun Shaozu! β
"Oh...... It turned out to be Commander Sun, what are you looking for me! Zhu Jinghong asked calmly.
Sun Shaozu replied: "I have heard the prestige of the prince for a long time, and I was fortunate to meet him today, so I came out to meet him, which is really abrupt...... Please also ask the prince to forgive his sins! β
Chance encounter, can meet in this place, Zhu Jinghong will believe it.
Thinking that this person came with ulterior motives, Zhu Jinghong replied: "Prestige? I'm a joke now, so what's the prestige! β
"The prince's words are wrong, who in the army does not praise you for your affection and righteousness, and now your prestige is even more than usual!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong just smiled, the superficial praise of the people in the army, to be honest, is not of much use.
"Commander Sun has returned from the northwest, and he wants to know more about the local situation, so I wonder if he can talk to me?"
If you want people to follow, you have to give people benefits, what kind of interests can people follow? That is naturally a promotion and a fortune.
How to promote generals and soldiers to make a fortune, it is natural to fight and win the war, and now the northwest is about to start a big war.
Since Sun Shaozu has been in the northwest, it is only appropriate to find him to understand the situation.
Hearing Zhu Jinghong's inquiry, Sun Shaozu was overjoyed, and he was worried that he couldn't talk.
"Back to the prince, but the minister also knows something, and now the northwest ......"
Sun Shaozu spoke in a clear manner, which made Zhu Jinghong feel his first-class business ability, and secretly said that if there is an opportunity, this person may be useful.
A few minutes later, after Sun Shaozu briefly explained, Zhu Jinghongfang said: "Commander Sun, you have such a clear understanding of the situation in the northwest and have unique views...... Now that the war in the northwest is about to start, I think there will be a time for you to make contributions! β
However, Zhu Jinghong's words touched on Sun Shaozu's sore spot, because the Dead Tree Fort was completely annihilated and the northwest was turbulent, his commander was likely to be deposed.
As for the successor, his subordinates can smoothly take over the post of commander, acquaintance and servant.
But how could Sun Shaozu say these words, there was no doubt that he was resentful, and the emperor knew that he was looking for death.
"The minister has been floating for half his life, and he has been stumbling all his life, and now he has been praised by the prince, which is really like a confidant......"
Drifting for half a life, Zhu Jinghong felt a little familiar this time, but he couldn't remember who said it for a while.
It's just that after praising this guy, he was moved to become like this, he was too frivolous and unstable, how can such a person be a commander?
The generals of other local capitals may have wine bags and rice bags to ascend to high positions, but the position under Anxi Xingdu Division will never send straw bag fools to go, unless the people in the military department are crazy.
Therefore, Sun Shaozu's behavior made Zhu Jinghong deeply puzzled, and he couldn't understand whether the person in front of him went crazy after arriving in Beijing.
Zhu Jinghong regarded Sun Shaozu as a madman, how would he know that people would treat him as a "fool" again, so he expressed his feelings so bluntly.
I only heard Sun Shaozu continue: "Now that the ministers have changed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to serve the imperial court!" β
"What happened?" Zhu Jinghong asked casually.
It's really easy to deceive...... Sun Shaozu said secretly in his heart.
"Ministers in the northwest, ...... before January"
Next, Sun Shaozu talked about his previous experience and the current difficulties, and finally sighed: "The wrath of the saint is like thunder, how can your subordinates be restrained!" β
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong probably understood the purpose of this guy, and he was afraid that he wanted to intercede with him.
Now that the purpose is understood, it depends on the value of the other party, whether it is worth interceding with him.
"You have your problems too!" Zhu Jinghong replied, which was tantamount to throwing a hook at Sun Shaozu.
As soon as he heard this, Sun Shaozu was overjoyed, and secretly said that the master in front of him had taken the bait, and at this moment they both treated each other as fish.
Sun Shaozu said with a sad face: "The minister is not greedy for power, but he just hates that what he has learned is wasted, and he can't make contributions to the imperial court......"
"yes...... It's a pity that you're capable of this body! When he said this, Zhu Jinghong looked at several small eunuchs who were approaching not far away.
Just as Sun Shaozu was about to strike while the iron was hot, the eunuch had already come to Zhu Jinghong and said, "Lord Wang...... The princess is here, and the princess orders the servants to wait for you to go back! β
"Hmm...... Got it! Zhu Jinghong responded.
Then he looked at Sun Shaozu and said, "Commander Sun...... That's all for today! β
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was leaving, Sun Shaozu immediately replied: "Congratulations to the prince!" β
Acting too much, in fact, it is not a good thing, now that Zhu Jinghong is leaving, Sun Shaozu can only choose "Xu Xu Tuzhi".
Seeing Zhu Jinghong go away, Sun Shaozu turned around and left.
And Zhu Jinghong, who has already gone away, remembers Sun Shaozu in his heart, and secretly says that he may be able to use this guy in the future.
As for interceding with this person, Zhu Jinghong didn't think about it for the time being.
One is that he himself is still "in prison", and it is not only ridiculous to help others, but also his hand is too long.
Second, even if you want to use this person, you must have a comprehensive understanding of it and take action at the necessary and critical time, so as to achieve better results.
Let's say that at the thatched hut of Shanglin Yuan, Zhu Yunsheng brought two attendants and a large group of maids and eunuchs over, filling the place inside and out.
Standing in front of Zhu Yunsheng, Baochai asked with a smile: "Third sister, if you sneak out again today, aren't you afraid that the queen mother will punish you?" β
At this time, Xiangyun interjected: "Niangniang is wrong, the princess didn't sneak out today, but came on the orders of the queen!" β
When she spoke, Zhu Yunsheng had a little smug on his face, which made Baochai a little surprised.
"Thirteenth sister-in-law, I came to pass the word on the order of the queen mother!" Zhu Yunsheng said.
"I wonder what the queen mother commands?" Baochai asked.
"The day after tomorrow, the family banquet of Laba Festival, the queen mother said that please come too!"
"Thank you for the love!" Baochai solemnly thanks.
Then she asked: "Such a send, just let the palace people pass the decree, why bother the third sister to come and run!" β
Daiyu, who was tightly wrapped in a cloak, stepped forward and said, "How could the princess not know that our princess is a dark Chen Cang on the Ming Xiu Plank Road!" β
"You're smart!" Baochai nodded Daiyu's forehead dotingly, of course she knew that Zhu Yunsheng was taking the opportunity to come out to play.
Looking at Baochai's cloth and clothes, Zhu Yunsheng asked: "Thirteenth sister-in-law, didn't the queen mother send someone to send a crown dress yesterday, why are you still dressed like this?" β
