Chapter 297 Make the decision for me on the North Road
In the small independent building in the backyard of Tongchun Building in Xila Hutong, Beijing.

Wei Zhice poured a cup of herbal tea, brought it over to Zhang Cheng, took it and drank it, suppressed the swell of alcohol in his chest, and said, "It's just that everyone takes what they need, he will treat me as foreign aid, and I will treat him as internal. aid,
As for the future, who can say clearly?
Perhaps among them there are confidantes of the general, who can become my capable generals in the future, but we need to continue to observe and see their performance. I will definitely repay those who are loyal to the general! "

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and said to Wei Zhice: "Zhice, we want to become a strong army. We will sweep the bandits inside and defend against captives outside. It is absolutely impossible to do things independently. Both the palace and the court need strong support.

In the past two days, in addition to Mr. Yang Ge, you also prepared a generous gift from Xue Shoufu's mansion in the court. The matter of recommendation discussed during the meeting just now can be settled on Xue Shoufu's side, and Governor Chen's mansion also sent a gift. part,

In addition, when I served as the king last time, I also met the two princes Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen in the palace several times. You can also make a backup gift for me. It doesn't need to be too expensive, but it must be more elegant.

Hey, when I came to Beijing this time, I became a boy who spread wealth! "

Zhang Cheng knew in his heart that the money was destined not to be spent in vain, but now he was still in the initial stage, so it was indeed unbearable to give it away in this way, and he thought to himself that he still had to find a way to make money.

Wei Zhice listened carefully to Zhang Cheng's instructions. Although the gift was not his own money, doing these things for Zhang Cheng was a felony for colluding with courtiers and court officials.

But he knew in his heart that once he had taken refuge in Zhang Cheng, he couldn't just worry about his personal safety. Now in the Ming Dynasty, which foreign official and army general would not be in the court to curry favor with these eunuchs and cabinet ministers? Be an official!
Wei Zhice agreed: "Yes, Zhice will keep in mind the general's order, and get things done in the next few days."

"Oh, by the way, General, you have to go to the Ministry of War tomorrow to get your confession and official uniforms before noon, and just now someone from the Wu Mansion sent a message that tomorrow Miss Ji's family will go to the mansion to instruct Miss Wu Mansion on her needlework skills ,
Mrs. Wu said, please visit the general tomorrow afternoon! "

"Well, it's time to come. Let's go meet our future daughter-in-law tomorrow!"

Zhang Cheng got drunk, so he went into the back room to rest. Wei Zhice didn't drink much, so he withdrew to buy those gifts.

…………

At the same time, Xuanfu Town, Yongning City.

Zhang Guowei, the deputy commander of the branch guard in Yongning, was also receiving a guest. There were only the two of them in the room, and even the waiter was sent out, as if they were having a secret conversation.

"The meritorious work of the king of Cheng Niaoqin, Wei Fu himself, extremely arrogant and domineering, although he has only been in office for a short time, there are already complaints on Shangbei Road, and the subordinate officials just tried to persuade them, but they were ruthlessly suppressed by him.

Now, he blatantly robs Kaiping Guard Army of farmland, enslaves military households, and privately occupies warehouses. However, if the officials of the Guard Division refuse to accept, he will be charged with crimes, lynching and arresting indiscriminately.

What's more, Zhang Cheng used the pretext of recruiting troops to train the army, cut down the troops, deducted the military pay, and filled his own pockets. He actually moved his mind to the officials and generals of Kaipingwei, and wanted to take over my subordinates as his own. ,
If Zhang Cheng acts like this, if he makes his wings full and monopolizes the North Road, he is afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the country, and it will also be disadvantageous to the lord. The next official is for the country's plan and the lord's plan, so he has the courage to come to Yongning and tell the lord the truth.
I also hope that my lord will be the master for the subordinate officials, and for me to be the master of the general family of the suffering officer on the North Road! "

Zhang Guowei's face was as calm as water, he took a sip of tea slowly, and did not rush to make a statement, but squinted at Xue Liangqing, the commander of the Kaiping Guard, beside him from the corner of his eyes.

Deputy Commander Zhang Guowei has been in Yongning for a long time, and has been in close contact with the guards of Kaiping, Longmen, Yanqing, Huailai, and Baoan on Xuanfu East Road and North Road all year round.

And this Xue Liangqing is the group of people who pay more tribute every year, so he is closer to Zhang Guowei, if so, Zhang Guowei will not take risks for Xue Liangqing.

Regarding this point, Xue Liangqing was also very clear in his heart that his purpose of coming here was not to ask Zhang Guowei to give him much help at this time.

He came here to deal with the aftermath. If everything went well, Xue Liangqing and Wu Youlu would not be able to deal with the aftermath if such a major incident happened. There must be someone more capable than them to promote the aftermath.

In his mind, although Zhang Cheng is valued by the emperor, cabinet minister Yang Sichang, governor Chen Xinjia, etc., and also has the love of Fuchen Liu Yongzha and general soldier Yang Guozhu, so what!

What if Zhang Cheng died for no apparent reason?
When the time comes, he will introduce a few more bandits to cover this charge. Who told Zhang Cheng to cut off the bandits as soon as he arrived on the North Road?
Seeing that Zhang Guowei didn't spit out for a long time, Xue Liangqing sighed in his heart. He knew that it would be impossible not to bleed heavily. Enduring the pain in his heart, he leaned forward again and said:

"My lord, Liangqing has always followed the lord's head and followed him all the way. Today, he has only been promoted by the lord, and now he has already regarded the lord as his parents. If the lord never abandons him, I am willing to follow the lord until death.

Liangqing also set up hundreds of acres of fertile land in Baoanzhou, always thinking of honoring your lord. If you don’t give up, when you come back from the next official, you will bring the land certificate of Baoanzhou to thank you for your support and love. ! "

Zhang Guowei's eyelids rolled up slightly, he didn't look up at Xue Liangqing until now, and after a while, he said softly: "Liangqing, you and I are the emperor's servants, guarding the frontier of Xuanzhen for the emperor , you should devote yourself to state affairs,

You have always been capable and calm, I know this, and I have mentioned your name to Liu Fuchen many times, Liu Fuchen also praised you very much, you must do your best in the future, don't be cold It hurt my face. "

Xue Liang listened quietly, but Zhang Guowei didn't mention the matter of Zhang Cheng at all, but it made him a little impatient, and he was about to increase his weight again, but he heard Zhang Guowei say:

"As for General Zhang, he is the general who was hand-picked today to guard the North Road, and he has won the trust of the Governor, Fuchen and Yang Shuai, but after all, he is young and shallow, and the new official is also eager to serve the past. Thank you for your kindness,
Doing things too fast and eager for success, but you are still loyal to the present and the court. You are also an old man on Shangbei Road. You have to look like an old man, and you must love Zhang Cheng, the new general. Of. "

Zhang Guowei's words made Xue Liangqing confused and confused about what he meant. He was waiting to probe further, and heard him continue:

"Hey, the world is unpredictable, Liangqing, you have to remind Zhang Cheng that although the bandits are cut off, you must guard against the rest of the bandits and seek revenge. You should pay more attention to personal safety precautions."
