This kind of melancholy in his heart made Wu Zheng constantly self-reflect.

After he retreated, he first stopped Zhang Huangyan.

"Why?"

With the relationship between the two, Wu Zheng doesn't even need to pave the way and make noise.

Zhang Huangyan looked at Wu Zheng in surprise, and said for a while: "Why is Wu Houye? ”

Wu Zheng was annoyed: "You know what I'm asking!" ”

Zhang Huangyan looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he said: "If you Wu Zheng dare to expose the rod and stand on your own, Huang Yan will not say a word, and follow you Wu Zheng to serve under the command of Wu Zheng, as long as you Wu Zheng is dedicated to resisting the Qing Dynasty, Huang Yan will eat even if he is infamous through the ages." But do you dare? Can you? Don't you dare, can't you? The hearts of the people in the world are still bright, even if the Ming Dynasty does owe a lot to the people of Limin, but the three-hundred-year-old Ming Dynasty is still the desire of the people. You Wu Zheng is just a minister, and you can't become a king. Since you are a minister, you have to surrender, and the land of several states is true that you have recovered, but it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and its disposal power lies in the imperial court rather than your Wu Zheng. ”

Wu Zheng said coldly when he heard this: "In Xuanzhu's heart, is Wu Zheng such a villain who must be compared?" What I am not angry about is that the court made such an arrangement, why didn't it even say hello to me. You must know that these states and counties were all recovered by Wu Zheng's troops. ”

Zhang Huangyan sneered: "Although you Wu Zheng is already a marquis, you are in charge of tens of thousands of troops. But why does the court want to inform you, and what qualifications do you have to let the court inform you? When Zhang Gong jumped off the wall of the post pavilion, did he feel as unfair as you do now? Think the court owes you? ”

Wu Zheng was a little depressed and panicked, and Zhang Huangyan completely misinterpreted what he meant.

Wu Zheng admitted that he had never thought of being self-respecting and blackmailing the princes to order the princes, and his depression was that he was fighting bloodily outside, and he was abandoned by the resolution of the imperial court.

In Wu Zheng's view, the prison country was established by him, and the land of several states was recovered by him, and above this court, he should have the right to speak, at least the right to know, right?

But Zhang Huangyan's squeeze made Wu Zheng even more angry.

But Wu Zheng had to admit that Zhang Huangyan's words made sense.

The imperial court, whether it is a small court or a large court, whether it is a wartime or a peaceful and prosperous era, it is the imperial court, unless it is to break away from it and abandon it, otherwise you have to have the appearance of a minister.

Even if it comes to the point where Cao Mengde coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he has to be called a minister when he should be called a minister.

There are no rules, no one.

But the grievances in Wu Zheng's heart could not be vented.

He is not a person with a high desire for power, but he needs to win benefits for himself, not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of tens of thousands of soldiers under him.

If he is really excluded by the imperial court, then who will guarantee the interests of himself and his soldiers?

If the imperial court is a peaceful and prosperous court, it will not even be unable to issue rewards for meritorious soldiers, and it needs to raise money for rewards by itself.

What kind of responsibility you have, what kind of rights you should enjoy.

Rights and obligations should be reciprocal.

But now, the asymmetry of rights and obligations has become a depression in Wu Zheng's heart.

Zhang Huangyan looked at Wu Zheng's uncertain face, and sighed lightly: "Wu Zheng, the road is still long, you are still young, you can't fight for a while...... You have to think twice. ”

Wu Zheng had no interest in arguing with Zhang Huangyan anymore, and took his leave.

Zhang Huangyan silently watched Wu Zheng's back go away, and left with a soft sigh.

Wu Zheng went to Qian Sule's house.

"Lord Qian."

"Hey, Wu Zheng, you came just in time, I was about to look for you."

"I don't know what Lord Qian is looking for Wu Zheng?"

"That's the case, now that you are enshrined in Jinghaihou, you have jurisdiction over the three states of Susong, Hangzhou and Suzhou, so the military power of Jiaxing Mansion should be returned to the imperial court, and after this move to the capital, you must hand over to the officials as soon as possible."

Wu Zheng was speechless.

To put it mildly, except for the magistrates appointed by Xia Wanchun and Qian Sudian when they occupied Jiaxing City, Wu Zheng did not have the time to meddle in the affairs of Jiaxing Mansion at all, and even Wu Zheng did not know who was in charge of the Jiaxing Mansion now.

This is the grievance in Wu Zheng's heart, everyone's eyes are staring at the power in their hands that may not exist, or may never exist.

And he has to be treated as if he existed and returned to the court.

But no one came to ask, is the salary of the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command enough? Is the soldier's bereavement pension in place?

Looking at Qian Sule, who was in a hurry, Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Is the imperial court so anxious? ”

Qian Sule was stunned for a moment, and then his face sank, "Wu Zheng, what do you mean?" ”

Wu Zheng rushed out and said: "What can I mean? What should I ask the imperial court? Lord Qian has forgotten that once in the mansion of Duke Zhang in Shaoxing Mansion, Duke Zhang and Lord Qian both agreed to use the taxes of Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Songjiang to supplement the salaries of the soldiers under Wu Zheng's command, and if it is insufficient, the imperial court will supply the soldiers under the command of the Dinghai Division. Have you forgotten all this money? ”

Qian Sule's eyes were fixed on Wu Zheng's face, "Wu Zheng, Qian has not forgotten, for a while, besides, doesn't the imperial court also reward you for the land of Susong and Hangzhou?" Jiaxing and Suzhou two mansions, which is more important, don't you understand in your heart? ”

Wu Zheng retorted: "Lord Qian, the agreement of Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Songjiang was before the Northern Expedition, and now that Wu Zheng's troops have recovered several states, and the army under his command has suffered more than 30,000 casualties, shouldn't it be supplemented and compensated?" ”

Qian Sule's eyes shrank slightly: "According to your meaning, the land of Sanzhou is not enough, do you need to reward Ying Tianfu to you?" ”

Wu Zheng said angrily: "Ying Tianfu is now under Wu Zheng's control!" ”

Qian Sule shouted: "Presumptuous! ”

Wu Zheng's emotions were already a little out of control, and he said forcefully: "Is the army under Wu Zheng the Wu family army or the Ming army?" From the creation of this army to the present, it has grown from only 70,000 people in a line to less than 40,000 now. How much food did the court give, and how much pension did it give? Dare to ask Lord Qian, are the soldiers fighting for my Wu family, or are they fighting bloodily for the Ming Dynasty? If it is my Wu family's army, why should the recovered states be transferred to the imperial court? If it is the Ming army, should the imperial court bear the salary of these tens of thousands of troops? ”

Qian Sule was so angry that he pointed his fingers straight, "The wolf is ambitious, arrogant and arrogant, do you still have Jun and Gangchang in your eyes?" ”

"Wu Zheng only has reason in his eyes, reason goes all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason!"

"You ......, I'm going to impeach you to Your Highness!"

"Lord Qian, please!"

The argument between the two grew louder and louder, so much so that it alarmed the patrolling Ming troops.

The Ming soldiers thought something was wrong and quickly surrounded them.

So, the scene inadvertently made a fuss.
