Zhang Fengyi waited in the capital for ten days before he was able to enter the palace.

It's a pity that Zhang Fengyi still didn't be able to see the emperor, but only met Chen Xinjia, the second assistant of the cabinet.

All this was arranged by Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru has received a letter from Yang Sichang, after a long time of thinking, Zhou Yanru also made up his mind, he thinks that what Yang Sichang said is correct, under the current situation, if there is a direct conflict between the court and Su Tiancheng, I am afraid it is going to cause a big thing, Su Tiancheng's Jiangning battalion is extremely brave, and there is no army in the Ming Dynasty that can match, and Su Tiancheng has not publicly expressed rebellion, in this case, the court needs time to kill and strive not to break out into conflict. Strive to be able to use other opportunities to consume Su Tiancheng's strength.

In his heart, Zhou Yanru also said that he wanted to be stable, and he couldn't face a messy situation when he just took office as the first assistant of the cabinet, in that case, he was too miserable as the first assistant of the cabinet, when he was the first assistant of the cabinet, it was because of Wen Tiren's secret calculation, and when he served as the first assistant of the cabinet again, he faced an unmanageable situation, and no one wanted to see that kind of situation, so Zhou Yanru wanted to fully show his ability.

Zhou Yanru has such confidence, the key is that the emperor trusts him very much, and this trust is not ordinary, Zhou Yanru can feel it and make full use of this trust.

Zhang Fengyi came to the capital, and to Zhou Yanru's expectations, the imperial court was making every effort to prepare for negotiations with the Houjin Tartars and the adjustment of officials. At this time, Zhang Fengyi should be stationed in Xuanzhou with a large army, at least it can form a certain deterrent to Su Tiancheng, but at this time, Zhang Fengyi returned to the capital, and he called it a report on the situation. The emperor has no will, he wants Zhang Fengyi to report something to the capital.

Zhou Yanru could almost tell that Zhang Fengyi's inner activities must have felt that something was wrong in Xuanzhou, thinking about leaving, thinking about ensuring his own safety, and the so-called report on the situation of the army, that was just an excuse.

In fact, the imperial court's control over the army was very strict, and according to convention, the generals and the army were separated. Only when leading the army to fight, the general can control the army, once the combat mission is completed, the general marshal returned to the capital, the army drawn from all over the country was disbanded, back to their respective stations, but unfortunately such control, in the Jiajing period there were problems. Because of the rebellion along the coast, the Qi family army was established. This is a team of generals and the army in one, and the combat effectiveness is particularly strong, since then, the interference of the imperial court in the army, slowly began to taste, and some local generals. There was a situation of self-respect for the army, and in the Chongzhen period, this situation was everywhere, and the court also acquiesced. Later, the rogues rebelled, and the golden tartars harassed them. In addition, the imperial court was poor and could not get military salaries, and the situation of supporting troops in various places was even more serious.

The army led by Zhang Fengyi, there are still some origins, when Chen Xinjia was defeated in Liaodong, there was a problem with the Guanningjin defense line, the emperor urgently mobilized the army, including the Beijing camp to withdraw part of the troops, went to guard Shanhaiguan, at that time the leader was Qin Liangyu, and then Qin Liangyu arrived in Datong, Zhang Fengyi led such an army, it happened that Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion, took Xuanzhou and Dengzhou and other places, this army was transferred to Pyongyang.

Later, there was a problem in the relationship between the imperial court and Su Tiancheng before, and the Korean royal family put forward a request, imploring the Ming court not to continue to garrison troops in Pyongyang, and the emperor agreed to the request of the Korean royal family, so that Zhang Fengyi led the army to be stationed in Dengzhou, at that time, Su Tiancheng was leading the Jiangning battalion, fighting in Liaodong, and arranged for Zhang Fengyi to lead an army of 30,000, remembering Dengzhou, undoubtedly copied Su Tiancheng's back road, it is conceivable that Zhang Fengyi could not gain a foothold in Dengzhou.

Sure enough, Zhang Fengyi led the army and moved to Xuanzhou.

Zhou Yanru is very clear about the situation here, at such a moment, Zhang Fengyi came to the capital, Zhou Yanru can almost conclude that the army led by Zhang Fengyi has encountered great trouble, and it is estimated that it will not be able to gain a foothold in Xuanzhou, and in the face of the powerful Su Tiancheng and Jiangning battalions, the 30,000 army is useless.

Zhou Yanru also thought at first that he would transfer the 30,000 troops back to Beizhili, but the cost of this was huge, and the area around Beizhili had suffered from the army stationing for many years, and the people were very disgusted.

Zhou Yanru didn't want Zhang Fengyi to see the emperor, so he would set off the emperor's sensitive nerves, maybe it would cause a big thing, once the emperor's emotions were uncontrollable, and he was even ready to make a move on Su Tiancheng, it would be troublesome, the Houjin Tartars in the capital would not be ignorant of such a thing, there was a huge infighting within the court, how could the Houjin Tartars continue to surrender, and when the time came, I am afraid that nothing would be done.

But such a huge matter, Zhou Yanru did not dare to conceal it without authorization, after all, it was an army of 30,000, so after careful consideration, Zhou Yanru asked Chen Xinjia to meet Zhang Fengyi, if Zhang Fengyi did not report anything embarrassing, everything is okay, if Zhang Fengyi said that the army is in danger, then it must be carefully calculated.

Seeing Chen Xinjia, Zhang Fengyi's heart was very uncomfortable, he couldn't imagine that he had returned to the capital for so long, and he hadn't been able to see the emperor, and he hadn't even seen Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, what did this situation mean, Zhang Fengyi was very clear.

The imperial court has always had the habit of reporting good news and not bad news, unless it is the point where the matter can not be cleaned up, it is said that Zhang Fengyi returned to the capital and reported the affairs of the army, the emperor should have seen it, but this is not the case, Zhang Fengyi knew what to say, anyway, the 30,000 army was still in Xuanzhou, and nothing happened.

People are more popular than people, when Zhang Fengyi was the secretary of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia was just a Langzhong of the Criminal Department, and he was not in Zhang Fengyi's eyes at all, but now he is the second assistant of the cabinet.

"Xiaguan meets Master Chen."

"Lord Zhang, don't be so polite, please take a seat."

Chen Xinjia's affectionate attitude made Zhang Fengyi's heart feel a little better.

The next report is much simpler, Zhang Fengyi said about the situation of the army stationed in Xuanzhou, anyway, everything is normal, there is no problem, this time to the capital, the main thing is to report the situation of the army, and at the same time to ask the emperor for guilt, the emperor asked the army to be stationed in Dengzhou, but because of some special reasons, the army was transferred to Xuanzhou.

Chen Xinjia had a smile on his face, after suffering the Liaodong fiasco, he paid a lot of attention, this time Zhou Yanru asked him to come forward to see Zhang Fengyi, what is the reason for this, Chen Xinjia is also clear, since Zhang Fengyi said that the army stationed in Xuanzhou has nothing else, then rest assured, this is the result that everyone wants to see.

When Chen Xinjia was about to serve tea to the guests, Zhang Fengyi made a request.

"Xiaguan came to the capital this time, there is one more thing, because he has been stationed in Pyongyang and Xuanzhou for a long time, Xiaguan's health is a little unwell, I implore the old man to return home, take care of his life, and hope that the adults will consider it."

Chen Xinjia paused for a moment, Zhang Fengyi is picking on it, who doesn't know that the place in Xuanzhou is not a good place, the relationship between the imperial court and Su Tiancheng has deteriorated, and no one wants to go to Xuanzhou.

However, Zhang Fengyi's qualifications are old, and if he doesn't do it, he can't force it.

After a little groaning, Chen Xinjia spoke.

"What Lord Zhang said, the official can not decide, over the years, Lord Zhang has worked hard, the emperor is clear, although Lord Zhang is unwell, but he has rich experience, the court is the time to employ people, Lord Zhang or don't mention the matter of returning home, as for whether the court is adjusted, the official looks at Lord Zhang or is waiting in the capital for a period of time."

Zhou Yanru has been waiting for Chen Xinjia to see what Zhang Fengyi said.

After Chen Xinjia reported what Zhang Fengyi said, Zhou Yanru breathed a sigh of relief, there was finally nothing to do, and it happened that the imperial court was also preparing to adjust the candidates, the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Datong were among the adjustments, and the matters that Zhang Fengyi proposed to adjust were not particularly difficult.

"Lord Chen, this official sees that what Lord Zhang raised is also the truth, and the court should also make adjustments, but Lord Zhang did not lead the army to be stationed in Dengzhou, the emperor must have an opinion, this matter is still discussed by the cabinet, the key is to see who to send to Xuanzhou."

Chen Xinjia did not speak, such a major matter, only Zhou Yanru said it, and the rest of the cabinet ministers discussed, if it was appropriate, Emperor Chen Xuan.

Seeing that Chen Xinjia didn't speak, Zhou Yanru groaned slightly.

"This official thinks that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Liaodong, can be promoted to Xuanzhou, Lu Xiangsheng fought bravely, and he also made contributions in Liaodong, and the relationship with Lord Su is also good, this official believes that Lu Xiangsheng went to Xuanzhou, he must be able to stabilize the situation in Xuanzhou, and he can also give advice to Lord Su. As for Master Zhang, you can still go to Liaodong. ”

Chen Xinjia nodded unconsciously, such an arrangement is indeed good, the imperial court cannot deprive Su Tiancheng of the Jiangning battalion for the time being, but it can take back the command of the Liaodong Border Army and the Datong Border Army, as long as these two armies are pinched, things will go much smoother later, and this arrangement is also equivalent to cutting off Su Tiancheng's position as the Liao Governor.

"What should Datong arrange?"

"Lord Qin, who is stationed in Datong, is very old, and this official can see that he can pay tribute."

At this time, Zhou Yanru said it very very simply.

Such a major matter, between three words, Zhou Yanru was determined, but no one knew the way, this is the beginning of the danger, from then on, Zhou Yanru's authority in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and he can decide many major matters in the court. (To be continued......)
