Chapter 695: Kill when you should kill, caress when you should caress it, don't be soft

After the news that Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao was ordered to lead the army to conquer Le'an, the whole capital was shaken. Since the Qin order was claimed to be the mobilization of 100,000 troops, it was natural that all the nearby Jingying and Jingwei were included in the levy, and almost all of the sons and daughters of the many nobles who served as officers were included. As a result, everyone who got the information was busy packing up, and those who had dealt with Zhu Gaoxu during the Jing disaster were even more worried. After all, the bravery of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han at that time, really left a deep impression on people.

Before dawn that morning, Mrs. Lu, who was rarely discharged from the hospital because of her weak body, made an exception and appeared at the second gate of her house. Seeing Meng Jun standing there neatly dressed, she couldn't help but think of her husband who was guarding the Xuanfu, and she had to nag her son a lot. When Meng Jun agreed to go out, she couldn't help but wipe her eyes with a handkerchief.

Zhang Qing was also up and down in her own heart, but at this time, she was afraid that there would be anything wrong with Mrs. Lu worrying too much, so she had to persuade: "Mother, Brother Jun is just escorting the Chinese army with the army, and he will definitely be fine." ”

"There are no eyes on the battlefield, who can say for sure the future?" Mrs. Lu took Zhang Qing's hand and walked in, but she still couldn't let go in her heart, "It's not that I'm talking about others behind my back, Marquis Ningyang has indeed fought a lot of battles in his life, and the title was killed by himself with a knife and a shot, but if it weren't for Emperor Taizong's thoughts of Jingguo Gong, who died on the battlefield first, he wouldn't have entered so fast." Moreover, he has never led the army alone, thinking about the Li Jinglong ......"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu sighed deeply and did not say any more, after all, it would be disrespectful to say it again. Step by step to the Buddha hall, she knelt down on the thick futon in front of her, and said to Zhang Qing without looking back: "Today, I want to pray for Jun'er here for peace, and no matter what happens, I don't have to reply to me outside, unless there is any change in the use of soldiers in the court...... When the Bodhisattva of Freedom and Freedom walks in the deep Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......"

Seeing that Mrs. Lu had already begun to recite, Zhang Qing only felt that her heart was heavy, so she quietly walked out of the house. However, this day was destined not to be peaceful, in the morning she disposed of the housework with a strong spirit, and before she had time to take a breath, there were many orders to come to the door to inquire about the news, saying that they were worried about the safety of their children this time with the chaos. Seeing that it was not only his own family that couldn't let go of his heart, Zhang Qing's heart was more and more filled with an ominous premonition.

These noble families who led troops to fight are so unconfident, how can this battle be fought?

Fengtianmen court.

This day is not the Great Dynasty of the Synodic Day, so it is still the Imperial Gate of Heaven. Although the ministers performed everything like a ritual, they couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. The loss of two sons of heaven in less than a year is already a bad omen, and now the king of Han is the opposite, and I don't know how many people associate the current situation with the short-lived Emperor Jianwen in the past. is also a young son of heaven who once canonized the emperor's grandson, and the same vassal king and uncle raised troops to rebel in the name of appeasement, this scene like a reincarnation of fate is really terrifying. So, when Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, stepped forward to report the situation of the deployment of troops in the past few days, many ministers sighed in their hearts.

Even though Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, is good at fighting, can he really exterminate the King of Han? At this time, even if you want to lead the troops, it should always be the British public!

However, everyone thought that the emperor should encourage Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, and then swore to go on the expedition on a certain day, but Zhu Zhanji suddenly stood up and left behind some words that stunned countless people: "I planned with all the ministers yesterday, and the Marquis of Ningyang had both wisdom and bravery, although it was enough to capture the thief, but the Han Fan was my imperial uncle, and he was also a hero in the past, and now he is opposed, I should personally lead the army to go, if I can tell him to get lost and know that I have returned, I will not lose the purpose of my filial piety and benevolence......"

In the long paragraph, most of them are nonsense that doesn't matter, and the key is only the two words that people have tasted - pro-Zheng! An old minister like Jianyi Xia Yuanji, who has gone through four dynasties, can't help but remember that Emperor Jianwen personally pushed Li Jinglong for him when he sent him on the expedition, but he was just waiting for the battle report in the deep palace; Compared with the current emperor's decision to go to the army, they are all emotional. And Zhang Yue stood in the courtier train, also thinking about the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

Zhu Yuanzhang taught the emperor's grandson to use a great Confucian scholar, but Zhu Di not only invited a famous teacher to teach Zhu Zhanji knowledge, but also took his grandson on a northern tour, and brought him to the battlefield of the Northern Expedition. Although Zhu Zhanji almost died at that time, it was only after that kind of battlefield atmosphere that he was completely different from the weak emperor who was longer than the hands of the women of the deep palace. He knew very well that Zhu Zhanji's personal expedition this time was not to boast about the country's prestige and military might, but to deter those villains with different intentions.

If it weren't for that trick, it would have been inevitable that this time, a huge amount of dispatch would have been inevitable. Now, as long as we wait a few more days, perhaps such a seemingly menacing rebellion should come to an end.

As an emperor, you have to have a good reason for everything. Therefore, after ascending the throne, although he was eager to ask people to ask Zhu Gaoxu for his guilt immediately, Zhu Zhanji still rewarded this uncle heavily, from gold and silver in the table to camels and horses. After receiving the news of the rebellion of the King of Han, he sent the lieutenant to persuade with a handwritten letter, and did enough work. At this time, in front of the minister, he had to make some face-to-face articles, and then he ordered the ministers one by one.

As Zhang Yue expected, only Jianyi Xia Yuanji was accompanied by Shangshu, while all the scholars in the cabinet were all among them, and most of the nobles were accompanied from the British Duke down, leaving only a few such as Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to guard Beijing. In contrast, there were very few of the rest of the yamen who were from the imperial driver, but the first to be condemned by the Metropolitan Procuratorate selected four people, the leader of which was naturally Zhang Yue, and the last one was Yu Qian, who had only been appointed to supervise the imperial history for a long time.

Although the emperor completely overturned the work of Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, for a few days, Chen Mao was relieved. Against Zhu Gaoxu, he was already a little unconfident, and many colleagues came to discuss with him for several days, hoping to let his children move to the rear army, he was almost anxious, and now this hot potato has finally been taken back by the emperor.

After going down, Zhang Yue saw Chen Mao's soles of his feet smeared with oil and walked quickly, and he was suddenly a little strange, until Zhang Fu came over and explained the reason, he knew what was going on, and couldn't help shaking his head. Walking out of the Jinshui Bridge, Zhang Fu sighed: "Most of the nobles were afraid of the courage of the Han King, but few thought of the heroes who did not mention the courage of the year. I asked for an order to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to quell the chaos that day, who knew that Marquis An Yuan was ahead of him, and the nail was also touched by him. Your father is indeed right, this kind of thing, it is better to follow the emperor to conquer in person. ”

Zhang Yue had heard about his father Zhang Zhuo's persuasion of Zhang Fu, and wanted to speak at this time, but he didn't know what to say. The uncle and nephew went all the way to the right gate of Chang'an before parting, Zhang Fu went to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and he went back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he saw a rider rushing towards him, and when he reached the door, he suddenly reined in his horse, and the whole person actually rolled and climbed off the horse, and after only a few steps, he collapsed to the ground and shouted out of breath.

"Quick...... Take me to Lord Tsuken! ”

This movement not only alarmed the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but even the yamen of the Criminal Department on the opposite side poked out a few looking heads. Zhang Yue also stepped forward, but saw that his face was disheveled, and his face was very unfamiliar. The two soap subordinates who rushed out of the yamen helped the middle-aged man up, and one of them looked at the man for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Master Li, aren't you Ding Wei returning to his hometown to guard the system?" By the way, remember that you are Le'an people! ”

"Don't delay your work, I want to see Master Liu Zongxian!"

Seeing that this person was only glaring at him, the soap who spoke hurriedly said, "Lord Li, Lord Zongxian has been ordered to inspect the waterways of the Yellow River, and now he is not in the mansion. He glanced at Zhang Yue as he spoke, and then took advantage of the situation to help the man turn around and face Zhang Yue, "Lord Li, this is the new Zuo Du Yushi Master Zhang, and now the two deputy capital Yushi are not here, if you have anything, you might as well look for him directly." Lord Zhang, this is Lord Li Jun, who supervised the imperial history, and returned to his hometown to worry about the system. ”

One is the early twenties of the fourth rank of the left imperial history, and the other is the forty years away of the seventh grade of the supervision of the imperial history, the two looked at each other, Zhang Yue did not recognize the person, but Li Jun was startled, and immediately smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Lord Xiao Zhang has been promoted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Xiaguan Li Jun is also a Jinshi in the year of Wuxu. ”

Zhang Yue didn't expect Li Jun to be his own year, and his heart suddenly felt a little strange, but regardless of his age, he only talked about the early or late arrival of the imperial examination, and the most important thing at this time was that Li Jun came from Le'an, so he didn't have to talk about the friendship of the same year. After answering the salute, he motioned to the two soap subordinates to help people into the Yamen Affairs Hall, and then retreated from outsiders, he had to ask him about the inside information, and when he heard Li Junyuan tell the truth, he didn't dare to delay the inside story, and immediately made a decision.

"The stakes are very high, you and I will enter the palace together immediately and ask for a meeting."

After the court meeting, usually only the officials of the ministry, the cabinet, the court, and the court can enter the palace to ask for a meeting, and it is not in accordance with the rules for the rest of the people to ask for a meeting. It's just that Zhang Yue, the imperial history of the left side, has a high position, second, is close to the emperor, and third, has the relationship between the British public Zhang Fu, so when he was waiting to meet in front of the noon gate, the palace eunuch did not neglect because of Zhang Yue's vague reason, and reported it without a moment's delay. Rao is like this, this entry and exit is still delayed for half an hour.

Although Li Jun has been in office for more than six years like Zhang Yue, he has never entered this door, let alone the Qianqing Palace behind. While waiting outside the temple, he felt that his mood was agitated and could not be suppressed, and when he faced the saint, he couldn't even remember what he said in a trance. It wasn't until Yi Yan retired out of the Qianqing Palace that he gradually regained his senses, but at this time, it was too late to think about the situation when he had just played right.

Li Jun was able to escape, which shows that Le'an's defense is in chaos. From this point of view, the British Duke once said that the King of Han was cowardly, and he did not exaggerate. There are so many important anti-Japanese guards in Denglai, he only sent two sons over, he really thought that those two stinky boys could be used? I've seen them before, and they're just submissive worms! ”

In front of Zhang Yue, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but reveal a mockery that he had covered up in front of his ministers. When this evil fire was gone, he asked Zhang Yue: "Since Li Jun said that the King of Han wanted to swallow the entire Shandong army, I can't sit idly by. What are your ideas for the metaverse? ”

Regarding this problem, when Zhang Yue first came in, he had already quickly made a suitable candidate in his heart, and at this time he suggested: "Liu Zhong, the governor of the Right Army, was once the commander of the Shandong Metropolitan Governor, and he won the hearts of his subordinates during his tenure. As for Le'an, the emperor can order the nearby Jinyi guards to strictly monitor it. ”

Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered the situation when Jinyi Wei commanded Wang Jie and the officials to meet with him, and among them was the Fang Ling who had been with him. At the beginning, he was expelled from Fang Ling for his crimes, but later someone proved that Fang Ling was innocent, and when he wanted to recall the person, the person was asked by his father Zhu Gaochi. He hadn't cared about it before, but now that he thought about it, it was really strange. But this is not the time to think about this matter, and Fang Ling is indeed more astute and capable than Wang Jie, so he has nothing to say about the appointment. But after carefully considering the candidate proposed by Zhang Yue, he shook his head.

"It is natural for Jinyiwei to monitor Le'an. However, Shandong ...... I don't worry about Liu Zhong alone, after all, he had been in Qingzhou Mansion for many years. Yuan Festival, I have selected the Jinyi Guard and the elite escort of the Beijing camp, how about you go with him? ”

Although the Han Wangfu was scouted in all directions, it was said that the people in the neighboring states and counties were panicking, but Zhang Yue knew very well that as long as the edict came out, that one would most likely become a turtle with a shrunken head, so he agreed after a little thought. However, when he was about to retire, Zhu Zhanji suddenly stopped him.

"Metaverse!"

"What else does the emperor command?"

"The King of Han has been in Shandong for seven or eight years, and he has been in business for a long time, and his foundation must be deep, and you are going to Denglai Zhubei Guardhouse on behalf of me in person, and I will give you the sword of the Son of Heaven that the emperor's grandfather left to me!" Zhu Zhanji finally made up his mind, so his voice was a little sonorous and sharp, "Kill when you should kill, caress when you should caress it, don't be soft!" After Denglai settles down, if he can, he will go to Qingzhou Mansion. After all, it is the place where you have stayed, and Liu Zhong is also familiar with it, and he will command Jin Rong to take it! ”

Facing the murderous emperor, Zhang Yue responded by himself. When he left the Qianqing Palace, he had to walk all the way and ponder what to do when the time came, and before he left the Qianqing Gate, he bumped into the eunuch Fan Hong, the celebrant and eunuch, and the person behind Fan Hong was Fang Ling. Looking at the two people who couldn't get together, he couldn't help but be extremely suspicious in his heart.

Fan Hong is an old man who has followed Zhu Gaochi for many years, and he is a friend like Wang Jin, and he is the most cautious and silent person. Zhang Yue didn't have a chance to talk to him, so he had to walk all the way out, and after passing the left gate of Yuntai, he suddenly realized that the group seemed to be coming from Renshou Palace in the west, and suddenly stopped.

Perhaps, it was not Zhu Gaochi who asked Fang Ling to do that deed, but Empress Dowager Zhang. If this is the case, the Empress Dowager Zhang is indeed planning far-reaching, if it weren't for Zhu Gaochi tossing and giving her own life, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely find an opportunity to clean up the Han King Zhu Gaochu.
