When Zhang Jingming got off the boat, he actually saw Tang Ning holding a big sign with his name written on it, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

walked all the way to Tang Ning, who was eating fried cakes at this time.

"You're pretty well-informed." Zhang Jingming was not polite at all, and directly took a piece of fried cake from Tang Ning's food box to eat.

Tang Ning laughed and said, "I've been waiting for three years for today, and I can't wait to greet you when I hear that you're coming." ”

After that, he hooked up with Zhang Jingming and got into the carriage.

The coachman is still Lin Wei, and this person's brain looks like he is dead. obviously had children with Qiao Chu, and insisted on serving Tang Ning. With his qualifications, it is not an exaggeration to call himself the patriarch of the Tang Mansion.

After getting into the carriage, Zhang Jingming took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil on his hands and said: "Since you know that I am here, then you should also know what I am here for, right?" ”

"I came together three years ago, but unfortunately I didn't negotiate that time."

"It's a different story now." Zhang Jingming sighed: "Those who can fight are all in the northwest, the forbidden army in the center, and there are few generals in the border army in the north who can rely on it."

Because Tong Guan insisted on attacking the Jin army, Liu Fa, who was transferred from the Western Army, had been relegated back to the northwest due to the defeat in the war, which was a pity for this person. ”

"Yes, there is also the Zhenguo Army, I don't understand what is going on in the mind of the person on the dragon chair, and he actually scattered the Zhenguo Army and divided it into other armies."

Tang Ning said and found a piece of cake from the food box and handed it to Zhang Jingming.

Zhang Jingming waved his hand, he didn't eat much now, and the fried cake just now had already filled half of his stomach.

"I have a reason for this." Zhang Jingming explained: "In order for you to make a comeback, I made a suggestion to Your Majesty, telling him that as long as you lead a group of strange soldiers to fight, you don't have to worry about accidents.

How's your preparation? ”

"Understood." Tang Ning put the cake back in the food box: "I have already sent a letter to Shenqian, and his reply is to let me eat, it seems that my resignation hit him very hard." ”

"Hehe, I heard he's doing well now. It's that his mother-in-law seems to be unusual, and she can't even marry a concubine who can manage him to death, but he told me that his wife gave him a daughter, and he wants her to marry my son in the future. ”

"Isn't that good?" Downing smiled.

"By the way, how old is Tang Liang this year?"

"Fifteen years old."

"Fifteen years old, not young, no wonder Your Majesty told me that he wanted to marry Princess Dekang to Tang Liang."

"No, how old is Dekang, she is two years younger than Liang'er, so she has to wait for eighteen to talk."

Zhang Jingming smiled: "Eighteen is not too big?" And Princess Dekang is not very good in the palace, after the first emperor left

, His Majesty violated the rules for Liu's grace.

Liu, who became the queen mother, was not satisfied, and even repeatedly intervened in court politics. You should know about this, right? ”

"How can I know about the things in the palace?" Tang Ning replied with a smile.

Zhang Jingming looked at Tang Ning and said: "Sometimes I think it's a pity that you don't go to the court with the ministers in Tokyo City, if you go up, there will be nothing to do with Cai Jing." ”

"Who knows?" Tang Ning was still smiling.

"All in all, because of the Liu family, Dekang is not very well received in the palace, and when the first emperor was still there, he intended to let Tang Liang and Dekang marry You didn't agree, so you want to marry into your family in the future, so you have to take care of others."

Tang Ning nodded and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, and the eight characters are still every hand." When I return to Beijing with you to see Your Majesty, whether he wants my head or not is two words. ”

Zhang Jingming said vigilantly: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Of course, it's to pull the Zhenguo Army back up."

"But Your Majesty has already broken up the Zhenguo Army and divided it into ......," Zhang Jingming said that he didn't say anything, nodded and said, "I see." ”

After that, I found another topic and talked about it again.

The carriage returned all the way back to the Tang Mansion, and Zhang Jingming, who was standing at the door, said with emotion: "This house has changed so much, it is very different from what I remember, and it is much better than your house in Tokyo City." ”

"Hey, there are so many rules in the capital, and you have to follow other people's rules if you want to build a house. There are not so many rules in our country. ”

"That's just as well." Zhang Jingming answered and went in with Tang Ning.

Aunt Niu is walking with the support of the maid, she was seriously ill during the change of season not long ago, and now she is recovering, and her body is very weak. Tang Ning asked her to exercise more, so she took a walk in the yard every morning.

"This is ......" Aunt Niu looked at Zhang Jingming with a familiar face, but she couldn't remember where she had seen this person, so she asked.

"Aunt Niu, you don't recognize me!" Zhang Jingming stepped forward with a smile: "I'm Zhang Jingming!" I used to be classmates of Zhuliu Academy with Tang Ning, and I didn't go to our house to eat and drink! ”

"Oh!" Aunt Niu suddenly realized, and then looked at Zhang Jingming's beard and said, "You've grown so big in a flash......"

Tang Ning sighed from the side.

Aunt Niu is only ten years older than herself, but the average life expectancy of people in this era is not even fifty. Although the masters are all over the age, they have been paying attention to maintenance since they were young.

For these literati, although medical skills were not a necessity, they were also a subject to learning.

In her early years, Aunt Niu became a fugitive for some reason, suffered for many years, and gave birth to small stones in a simple environment, and then she didn't even have a chance to rest, so she had to continue working.

I didn't think it at the time, but I fell ill and am old now

Now, all kinds of diseases are coming to the door. The medicines of this era are not as abundant as those of later generations, and some diseases will last a lifetime even if they reach the later generations.

Therefore, Aunt Niu is very old, only forty-five, and her figure is already a little rickety.

After a few pleasantries, Aunt Niu was going to entertain Zhang Jingming in person, Zhang Jingming didn't even say no, and added that he came to Tang Ning to talk about things.

But this still did not discourage Aunt Niu's enthusiasm, she asked Tang Ning to lead Zhang Jingming to the study, and she went to the back kitchen to tinker with food.

"Aunt Niu has also reached this age." Zhang Jingming said with emotion.

"In another ten years, you and I will be about the same."

The two were sad for a while and then went into the study, and then chatted about things in life.

said that he came to Tang Ning to talk about business, but in fact, Tang Ning already knew what Zhang Jingming was going to say.

It was precisely because he had a secret relationship with Zhang Jingming that Zhang Jingming would put forward the suggestion of letting Tang Ning come back.

Besides, even if it wasn't because Zhang Jingming had told him about it a long time ago, what happened in Tokyo City couldn't escape his eyes - unscrupulous, but just talking about it is called unscrupulous.

"Although Shenqian asked me to eat, he didn't explicitly refuse, so it's uncertain whether he will come or not. Chong Jianzhong has now become a general in charge of himself, and I am afraid it will be difficult for him to be my deputy again.

Besides, I am embarrassed that he came to me as a deputy at an old age.

Gao Shu returned to his hometown to farm, with his character, being able to go back to his hometown to farm means that he has been disappointed and cannot come back.

The generals either returned to their hometowns, or rebelled with Fang La. Otherwise, it has already been scattered to the edge of the sky......

It seems that it is not easy to reconstruct the Zhenguo Army. Tang Ning was talking to Zhang Jingming about the old people of the Zhenguo Army.

If an army wants to have a high combat effectiveness, the strength of the soldiers is important, but it is the grassroots officers of the army that are even more important.

They were the ones who commanded on the spot, not Downing. Anything can happen on the battlefield, and if the unexpected happens, it's up to them to improvise and react.

Therefore, a complete army of recruits has always been used as cannon fodder, and only people like Tang Ning will lead the regular army to go to the bandits to practice.

Zhang Jingming stayed in Runzhou for three days and left, and Tang Ning left with him.

Knowing that her husband was going to lead the army again, Wang Shi didn't know what it was like. But this time she asked Pei Xiantong to follow Tang Ning, and about Tang Ning's safety, she was finally able to put her mind at ease.

Qi Fu regretted not being able to participate, his three-year-old daughter yelled for the moon last night, and her father, who was almost thirty years old, really set up a ladder to go up to the room to pick it for her.

As expected, he accidentally fell off the roof and broke his leg......
