Chapter 627: There is a secret purpose
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Kang Wenhao" and "Jiangshan Loses".
Liao Zhongping is indeed an honest man.
After he led 5,000 people to Jiaxing, he stationed in strict accordance with Zhu Cihong's wishes.
Then send someone to Hangzhou to inform the meeting.
It stands to reason that he is the commander of the Jingwei Capital, and he is an angel.
The Hangzhou government should send someone to Jiaxing to greet him.
Even if Wu Zheng is here, if there is no accident, he has to go to Jiaxing to greet him in person.
But the problem is that Wu Zheng is not there.
Wu Zheng is not there, so he naturally has to be a deputy.
Who is the deputy?
Naturally, it was Xiong Rulin, the political envoy of Zuobu.
But Xiong Rulin and the four of them had already thought of countermeasures, so they rode to Jiaxing to respond to Liao Zhongping, the military affairs were urgent, and he had no worries, so please understand the envoy and lead the army to Hangzhou Mansion, and he will definitely be contacted by the platoon of manpower at that time.
This is rude, but not excessive.
So Liao Zhongping led the army to Hangzhou Mansion.
A day later, the army arrived at the Qingtai Gate of Hangzhou, and Zhang Guowei led the general's mansion, government offices and officials of various departments out of the city gate to greet them.
After the greetings, the five thousand Jingwei were temporarily settled in the martial arts arena near the north gate of Xicheng.
After that, the Rongqing Building by the Baiyang Pond was used to catch the wind for Liao Zhongping.
Everything is so natural, Liao Zhongping is very easy-going, let Zhang Guowei and others arrange it, and the guest is as he pleases.
But there is an unspeakable unnaturalness in this nature.
You must know that the owner of Hangzhou Mansion is surrounded by the Qing army in Shaoxing Mansion at this time.
These subordinates are pushing the cup and changing the lamp, as if there is no such thing.
After three rounds of drinking, Liao Zhongping took the initiative to ask, "Commander Zhang Du, how is the war in Shaoxing Mansion?" Can the town be safe? ”
Liao Zhongping called Zhenguo Gong but not a general, that is because Wu Zheng's general was awarded by the Qingtai Dynasty, and the Yixing Dynasty did not award who was the general.
Hearing Liao Zhongping's question, everyone stopped chopsticks.
Zhang Guowei sighed lightly: "The general has been trapped in Pinggang Mountain for several days, although we have the intention to send reinforcements, but the adjustable troops in our hands are insufficient. I'm worried...... Fortunately, Liao Du commanded the envoy to lead the army to come, now it is good, if Liao Du commands the envoy to send reinforcements, the general will be able to quickly get out of trouble, and in this way, the situation in Shaoxing Mansion will be reversed. ”
Liao Zhongping said with a blank face: "Before this official leaves Beijing, he will be instructed by His Majesty. ”
All of you stood up as a sign of respect.
"Your Majesty's dictation, Shaoxing Mansion was attacked by the enemy chieftain Duoduo, the land was lost, and the people were poisoned, I feel the same way, but now is not the time to fight the Qing army. Moreover, our dynasty had an armistice agreement with the Qing court, and Wu Zheng, the prince of Zhenguo, led the army to withdraw to the north bank of the Qiantang River, and waited for the day to counterattack. I will send an embassy north to negotiate with the Qing court, and if the Qing court breaks the treaty, it will not be too late to try to fight back. ”
The atmosphere has noticeably changed.
Xiong Rulin was the first to attack, he slammed his palm on the table, "It is not only Shaoxing Mansion that has been attacked by the Qing army, but Xinhua Mansion is also being attacked by the Qing army." I have four guards of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and three and a half guards are resisting the enemy, Your Majesty actually said a word, if you want our army to withdraw to the north bank, how to withdraw? Liao Du commanded the envoy, but you told the officer, when you are stuck with the enemy, how to withdraw? ”
Liao Zhongping glanced at everyone present, then looked at Zhang Guowei and said, "Lord Zhang, can you allow this official to take a step to speak?" ”
Zhang Guowei nodded, got up and raised his hand, "Lord Liao, please." ”
The two of them left their seats and went to the side hall next door.
"Lord Zhang, there is a secret purpose." Liao Zhongping said softly.
But Zhang Guowei didn't seem to hear it, Gu Zi sat down, and stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Liao, please take a seat." ”
Liao Zhongping had to raise his voice, "Your Majesty has a secret decree. ”
"I know." Zhang Guowei's expression did not move, "Everyone outside this room knows that Lord Liao doesn't need to borrow a step to speak, he can speak clearly at the wine table." ”
Liao Zhongping said angrily: "Lord Zhang's intention, is it not to obey the order?" ”
Zhang Guowei said: "It depends on what His Majesty's will says." If it makes sense, I will do it. ”
The implication of this is that it doesn't make sense, so I won't follow the order.
If you can't even hear this, Liao Zhongping is not honest or stupid.
Liao Zhongping said angrily: "Lord Zhang is a veteran of the previous dynasty, does he also want to rebel?" ”
Zhang Guowei said in a deep voice: "Liao Zhongping, when the old man was the governor of the ten prefectures south of the Ming River, I am afraid that you are still playing with urine and mud." Even if you dare to accuse the old man of rebellion? ”
This qualification was directly put out, and even Liao Zhongping didn't dare to reply.
Zhang Guowei saw that Liao Zhongping didn't answer, so he said: "Lord Liao, since King Lu was in charge of the country in Shaoxing Mansion, you have controlled the guards, and you can control the three dynasties before and after, which shows your character and loyalty." ”
But in this world, in addition to faithfulness, is it necessary to talk about conscience? No matter how the general doesn't reassure His Majesty, but now is a time of national crisis after all, the Qing army is attacking on a large scale, but His Majesty ordered our army to withdraw? In this way, why did Lord Liao have to lead the army here, is this just a play for the Chinese people? ”
Liao Zhongping said calmly: "This is Your Majesty's will. ”
Zhang Guowei was stunned, "Okay, hand over Your Majesty's secret decree to me." ”
Liao Zhongping said calmly: "Please Lord Zhang to perform the courtiers' courtesy, so that the official can hand over his will to Lord Zhang." ”
Zhang Guowei shook his head helplessly and got up.
Liao Zhongping took out the secret decree and handed it to Zhang Guowei.
Zhang Guowei took it with both hands and opened it in front of Liao Zhongping.
“…… I heard the name of Zhang Gongxian, and called me a loyal and good ...... Although Wu Zheng has meritorious service to the country, he has ill intentions after all, and Zhang Gong feels the same way in his heart...... I have no intention of committing a trumped-up crime, but the imperial power cannot be blasphemed...... As long as Zhang Gongneng can help with all his might, collect the military power of Hangzhou Prefecture, and order the withdrawal of the relevant forces of Shaoxing Prefecture, assisted by Liao Zhongping, Wu Zheng will definitely be replaced...... When the matter is completed, Zhang Gong should be the Duke of the country, and I will definitely welcome Zhang Gong's return outside the Chengtian Gate...... ”
Zhang Guowei slowly handed the secret decree to Liao Zhongping.
Liao Zhongping shook his head and didn't answer.
Zhang Guowei sighed lightly: "Lord Liao doesn't need to shy away from it, Your Majesty also mentioned you in his secret decree, so it's okay to take a look." ”
Liao Zhongping reached out to take it, and after reading it, he silently handed it to Zhang Guowei.
Zhang Guowei asked: "Master Liao thinks, is this a chaotic order?" ”
Liao Zhongping didn't answer and asked, "Does Lord Zhang accept the order?" ”
Zhang Guowei asked rhetorically: "If I don't answer, what will I do?" ”
Liao Zhongping said: "If you don't accept the order, you should be arrested on the spot and deported to Beijing for your majesty's disposal." ”
Zhang Guowei smiled and said: "Lord Liao, don't forget, this is Hangzhou Mansion, not Yingtian Mansion. ”
Liao Zhongping said in a deep voice: "If the official doesn't believe it, there is no loyal minister of the court outside for everyone. ”
Zhang Guowei shook his hand and got up, "Then Lord Liao might as well try." ”
After speaking, he left the side hall and went to the main seat.
Liao Zhongping followed to the door and shouted: "Come on, Zhang Guowei disobeys the order, and he will be arrested on the spot." ”
"Hula" more than a dozen soldiers rushed in, but their knives were aimed at Liao Zhongping.
