Chapter 493: Rumors Rise

"Zhao Ying hasn't come back yet?"

In the military tent, Zhu Jinghong was convening the generals to discuss the matter, and Fan Changchun, the commander of Zhenwei Zhongwei, informed him of the situation.

"It can't be that you're entangled!" Zhu Jinghong frowned and asked.

"Half an hour ago, the person he sent back to deliver the message said that Zhao Ying had arrested the first zero!" Fan Changchun replied.

Coincidentally, Fan Changchun's voice fell, and he heard a commotion outside.

After a few breaths, a guard entered the tent and said, "Marshal, the young master of Dzungaria, he has been captured alive by our people!" ”

"Did Zhao Ying do it?"

Zhu Jinghong is talking nonsense, only Zhao Ying has not come back yet, and there will be no one else except him.

"Exactly!"

About ten minutes later, when the sound of horses' hooves outside was loud, Zhu Jinghong knew that Zhao Ying was back.

So he immediately led the generals all the way out of the temporary camp gate.

At this time, Zhao Ying had already dismounted, and I saw him come to Zhu Jinghong quickly.

"Marshal, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored and has won the young master of Dzungaria!"

Even if he is thirty years old, even if he has been in battle for a long time, Zhao Ying can't suppress his excitement at this moment.

Capturing the general of the Dzungar army alive, and this person is still the young master of Dzungaria, such a great achievement will definitely make Zhao Ying rise to the top.

Of course, what makes Zhao Ying even more fortunate is that now the imperial court is letting Zhu Jinghong command the troops.

This master has always been above board, and he never takes the credit of the people below, let alone allows others to take credit indiscriminately.

If it weren't for this, his Zhao Ying's great work today would probably be said to be commanded properly by Fan Changchun, and he was just executing it.

Although there will also be credit, the majority of the head will be taken up by Fan Changchun.

"Good...... Very good, Ben Shuai wants to personally ask for credit for you! Zhu Jinghong laughed heartily.

When his heart was settled, Zhao Ying shouted behind him: "Hurry up and bring someone over!" ”

Soon, the five-flowered Zero was escorted over, and a cloth ball was stuffed in his mouth, so that he couldn't speak, let alone bite his tongue and kill himself.

Zhu Jinghong was looking at Zero, who was also looking at him at the moment.

Just such a hairy boy? Just beat yourself to defeat and defeat again?

Although he knew that Zhu Jinghong was young, he really saw him with his own eyes, and Di Zero still felt incredible.

"What do you look like when you keep your mouth shut!"

Zhao Yingzheng wanted to explain, so he heard Zhu Jinghong continue: "I have visited Jinyiwei before, and they have a better way to prevent people from committing suicide......

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "They remove people's chins, making it difficult for them to even close their mouths, let alone bite their tongues and commit suicide!" ”

Good guy, everyone thought that Zhu Jinghong had committed a bodhisattva's heart, but unexpectedly, this was not a living bodhisattva but a living Hades.

When everyone looked at each other, Zhu Jinghong instructed the guards beside him: "Take it down first and torture it carefully!" ”

"Yes!"

No matter what the result of the torture was, Zhu Jinghong would send the person back to Beijing, which also made the old man happy.

"Everyone, although this battle is won, it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy army will not counterattack, you immediately return to the headquarters to sit in battle, wait until you survive tonight, and I will celebrate with you tomorrow!"

Zhu Jinghong is also very cautious, but his caution is very different from Ning Huanxiang's, and it is obvious that his behavior is more popular.

Under his orders, the generals left one after another.

They were busy when they went back, and Zhu Jinghong was the same, he continued to pay attention to the reports sent back from all directions.

In the end, Zhu Jinghong was too worried, and the Dzungar army did not attack, and the night was spent very quietly.

The next day's intelligence showed that the Dzungar rout retreated to a hundred miles away, and then there was a gradual convergence of the situation.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, the Ming army did not continue to advance, Zhu Jinghong specially ordered a rest, and at the same time held a celebration banquet for the guards.

When the banquet was in full swing, the good news had also been formed, and it was sent to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

Now that the enemy army is far away and basically no longer threatening, Zhu Jinghong plans to rest in place for two days before continuing to pull out the camp and go north.

On September 15 of the twelfth year of orthodoxy, the good news of the front line was transmitted back to Beijing again.

Knowing that the northwest had another good news, the people of the capital rose up again to help Zhu Jinghong maintain the top treatment.

As a top-notch person, it will become a topic of conversation after dinner, and it is easy to deviate if there are many topics.

For example, at the end of an alley somewhere at this moment, someone is discussing the issue of Zhu Jinghong's heir.

After more than a year of marriage, the princess is not pregnant, and none of the women in the palace are pregnant, which is obviously not a normal situation.

No one would doubt that Zhu Jinghong's body would have problems, so under the guidance of someone with a heart, the spearhead was pointed at Princess Xue Baochai.

"I think there is a good chance that this matter has something to do with Princess Xiang!"

"The princess is in charge, and the women in the house have to snort on her, but I am afraid that the princess will not be able to give birth...... Don't live on the sidelines! ”

"Prince Xiang will allow her to come so nonsense?"

"Prince Xiang is straightforward, how could he think of these things!"

"That's right!"

"You say...... Could it be that the one in the East Palace will give it? ”

"Who's in the East Palace?"

"Don't you know that the current crown princess is the aunt and cousin of Princess Xiang!"

"And this relationship is ......"

"If there is the support of the crown princess, Princess Xiang can really act arbitrarily......"

Similar gossip can be found in all corners of the capital, and it has become popular in just ten days.

Jumping off the horse, Jia Yun stood outside the wall and listened carefully for a while, and suddenly felt a nameless fire in his heart.

So he looked at his entourage and commanded, "Go immediately to the officers of the Soldiers and Horses Division, and let them take these tongue-chewing people!" ”

Zhu Jinghong, the king of Xiang, has the grace of reinventing him, and Princess Xiang is also a kind and dignified person, but she was arranged indiscriminately by some scoundrels in the market, how can Jia Yun bear it.

In the past two days, he has "reported" this matter several times, and at least 50 people have been sent to prison by him.

Are these people really just overfed and have nothing to do?

In the current context of Zhu Jinghong's successive battles, Jia Yun has a lot of reason to suspect that this is definitely caused by someone behind the scenes.

Soon, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division rushed over, so these nonsense people were all sent to prison.

Looking at this scene from a distance, Jia Yun felt a little better, and then got on the horse and rushed to the direction of Rongguo Mansion.

When I returned home, I heard someone tell me that the second master Ni next door had come.

Jia Yun hurriedly ordered: "Go and invite him over!" ”

If it was in the past, Jia Yun must have looked for it, but now after all, his identity is different, so he can only follow the rules.

It's not that he is willing to put on a score, it's really that if he puts his posture too low, Ni Er will be extremely uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

"Yun'er, I have already told the matchmaker, I have decided on the eldest girl of the Liu family, his father is a member of Chengping in the ninth year, and it will never be considered a humiliation!"

Jia Yun was thinking about it when his mother Bu's voice sounded, pulling him back to reality.

"Mother, my son doesn't have the heart to pay attention to these ...... now" Jia Yun prevaricated as always.

"There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the great ......" Bu began to teach a lesson.

Yes, unfilial piety is great, and all the concubines in the palace have nothing to do, and it is difficult to isolate gossip......

Jia Yun is also really loyal, and at this time, he is not thinking about it in the Xiangwang Mansion.

Seeing that his son was outside the wandering object, the gushing Bu Shi stopped, picked up the feather duster on the side, and hit Jia Yun twice.

"Did you hear what my mother said?"

Jia Yun was about to prevaricate, when someone outside told her that "Second Master Ni" was coming.

"Mother...... My son went to meet the guests! ”

"Then I'll ask someone to call your uncle over and discuss the dowry together!"

Hearing this, Jia Yun stopped again and said, "Mother, you have your own opinions on this matter, don't worry!" ”

"Wouldn't it be better to marry you an official lady when you have a successful career?"

The matter of prevaricating her mother has been played by Jia Yun perfectly, and now she has also practiced the stunt of "painting cakes".

After a perfunctory sentence, Jia Yun rushed to the outer hall, and at this time Ni Er had already arrived in the hall.

"The second master is here!"

Seeing Jia Yun appear, Ni Er stepped forward to greet him.

Although Jia Yun is easy-going, he has an official body after all, and he has a somewhat unangry and arrogant style, which makes fierce men like Ni Er extremely humble at this time.

"Sit down!" Jia Yun waved her hand.

After Jia Yun sat down, Ni Er sat down.

Picking up the teacup, Jia Yun asked, "Second brother, what have you asked you to do in the past two days, are you a little eyebrow-raising?" ”

"What the second master explained is, how dare I not bother to investigate, I have run through the east city, the south city and the west city in the past two days, and the people on the ground are ......"

One calls each other "brother", and the other calls each other "master".

Stopping Ni Er introduced a lot, Jia Yunfang, who frowned and thought, said, "So...... Is it true that someone is making trouble behind their backs? ”

Nodding, Ni Er replied: "Although they are some new faces, the friends on the ground don't care, otherwise if you catch a few of them, you can ask clearly!" ”

Jia Yun hurriedly reminded: "Don't ...... Just notice, don't do anything about arresting people, so as not to get yourself in trouble! ”

"Who dares to make trouble for Lord Xiang?" Ni Erhun didn't care.

Ni Er emphasized the words "to Prince Xiang", which made him quite complacent, and his waist was much straighter in the past two days.

There is no way, Zhu Jinghong is the only prince in the dignified state, and he is now the pillar of the empire, and his status has reached the pinnacle.

He Ni Eryi is reckless, although he is very good at eating on the road, but he is really not as good as grass mustard in front of Xiangwangfu.

Not to mention doing things for King Xiang, he knelt outside the palace for three days, but he was afraid that he would not even be able to see a steward eunuch.

Seeing that Ni Er was too proud, Jia Yun reminded in a timely manner: "After all, when it comes to royal affairs, the slightest carelessness will be the disaster of the death of the clan, you must not act rashly!" ”

Seeing that Jia Yun said seriously, Ni Er didn't dare to ignore it, and bounced close to him and asked, "Is it really so dangerous?" ”

To be honest, the internal struggle of the royal family is too far away from ordinary people, even if we can think that it is very dangerous inside, it is difficult for us to substitute ourselves into it, so Ni Er's reaction is normal.

"Second brother, in fact, I shouldn't have dragged you into this matter!"

After saying that, Jia Yun got up and paced back and forth, listened to Ni Er in front of him when he didn't know why, and said solemnly: "Second Brother Ni, it's still too late for you to quit, you better not get involved in this matter!" ”

"Second master? Could it be that I, Ni Er, am a person without eggs? Can you still scare me? ”

Also standing up, Ni Er said: "I understand what the second master means, and today I will also tremble in my heart......"

"Second master, how many people can get a good death if they are mixed in the road like me?"

"If you offend someone one day, you will die without a place to bury, and you will die the same ...... Why don't I go for a good future! ”

"The second master has caught up with Prince Xiang, and now he has a serious official body, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has ascended to the sky in one step......"

Listening to Ni Er's blunt words, Jia Yun found that he still didn't know enough about his neighbor.

But when he thought about it, he also felt that it was normal, and who in this world could really understand whom.

"Now that the second master has given me a chance, I also want to take this opportunity to find a way out, and I ask the second master to fulfill it!" Ni Er completely expressed his thoughts.

The two looked at each other for a while, Jia Yun sighed, and then said: "Okay, since the second brother has made up his mind, I won't persuade you more!" ”

"But you have to remember my words, you can only visit secretly, and you must not act rashly!"

"Second master, rest assured!" Ni Er replied.

…………

When Ni Er visited Jia Yun, a sedan chair fell outside the Qianhu Office of Jinyi Weinan City at the other end.

After a few breaths, a white-faced, beardless man walked out of it with a gloomy face.

This person's name is Song Yan, a steward eunuch under Zhang Ping'an, who is just a small person in Xiangwangfu, but he got up when he got out of the palace.

The Thousand Households of Jinyi Weinan City is a place that ordinary people avoid, but when he saw the sedan chair that appeared, the captain on duty immediately greeted him.

"Father-in-law, why are you here!" The little flag officer stepped forward to talk.

Of course, he didn't recognize Song Yan, but he knew the logo of Song Yan's sedan chair on the Xiangwang Mansion, which is called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha.

Ignoring the flattery of this little flag official, Song Yan asked coldly, "Can Wang Jiyang be in the Yamen?" ”

Wang Jiyang is a thousand households in Nancheng, and at this time, Song Yan called him by his name, which seemed somewhat impolite.

"In!"

Tightening his shoulders and putting on his cloak, Song Yan then asked, "The other two are also there?" ”

The other two he refers to are the two deputy thousand households.

"Back to my father-in-law, it's all here!"

"Take me to see Wang Jiyang, and let the two deputy thousand households come over!"

After instructing his subordinates to pass the word, the little flag officer on duty greeted him with a smile: "Father-in-law, please!" ”

After Song Yan and his entourage left, they heard a lieutenant discuss: "It's just a small steward of Xiangwangfu, so he puts such a big score......

"Say a few words, if he hears it, you will feel good!"

"Lord Qianhu will have to be angry with him for a while, let's bear with it!"

When everyone was talking in a low voice, someone scolded: "Shut up, what are you talking about?" ”

The person who came was a general bannerman, the boss of their boss.

"Yes!" The crowd bowed in reply.

Let's say that Song Yan entered the lobby, and Wang Jiyang, who got the news, had already greeted him.

Although Song Yan was just an ordinary steward of Xiangwangfu, Wang Jiyang didn't dare to offend easily, not to mention that he still came on behalf of Xiangwangfu.

"Father-in-law Song, you came from afar, and you missed the welcome!"

For Wang Jiyang, Song Yan finally eased his attitude a lot, and said with a smile: "Wang Qianhu, you have a lot of opportunities, I thought I couldn't see you!" ”

"My father-in-law's words can hurt me, even if I am busy, I have to see you!"

When he answered, Wang Jiyang beckoned Song Yan to sit down, and the latter also motioned for him to sit with him.

Both of them sat down in the guest seats, and then the captain brought tea.

Song Yan blew a breath of hot air, then looked at the captain waiting inside and outside the door, and said calmly: "Wang Qianhu, let's talk...... You don't have to be served! ”

"You all go down!" Wang Jiyang is not dragging mud and water.

After everyone retreated, without waiting for Song Yan to speak, Wang Jiyang asked, "Father-in-law is here, what is Father-in-law Zhang's order?" ”

Whether it is on the orders of Zhang Ping'an or the princess is two different things for Wang Jiyang, and he must also adjust his language and attitude accordingly.

Song Yan understood Wang Jiyang's thoughts, so he didn't answer directly, but reminded: "Wang Qianhu, you are helping the palace left and right, why do you ask so clearly!" ”

"Does it mean that the princess has to show it herself before I can ask you to help?"

Without waiting for Wang Jiyang to answer, Song Yan continued: "The princess has been upset for the past two days, if these words reach her, you will be in trouble!" ”

This damn gelding...... Wang Jiyang scolded in his heart.

But then he smiled and said, "Father-in-law Song...... Look at what I said, I'm just asking casually! ”
