Chapter 322 Tell him to save me from trouble

Daming, on June 12, 28th year of Chongzhen, the sky was clear, Dushikou Baocheng on Shangbei Road, Xuanzhen Town.

All the officials and generals gathered outside the Nanguan, and the iron armor was full of generals in red official robes. They waited respectfully in front of the huge monolith engraved with "Sudden and lonely beauty".

In the blink of an eye, it was nearly noon, and the sentry cavalry kept rushing along the north side of the Baihe Valley. They loudly reported numbers one by one, and every time they reported, the guests who came to the palace took another step away from Dushikou.

"General, isn't he just an eunuch, why don't we go out of the city ten miles to meet him?" Zhang Guangda also asked rather puzzled.

Chen Zheng beside him was also looking at Zhang Cheng. At this moment, two healthy horses galloped far away, and just approached Zhang Cheng, they shouted: "The carriage is two miles away."

Zhang Cheng was still lying on a soft roof with a canopy, carried back and forth by two strong soldiers, he waved his big hands, and said in a deep voice: "Listen to us, the middle officer from the palace, That represents the presence of His Majesty the Emperor.
Later, you have to kneel down in an orderly manner to welcome the angels as you did during the rehearsal, and you must not mess with the rules and lose face on Beilu. Jin Xinpeng, Yan Qingrong, Zhang Guangda, and Chen Zheng will follow me Go forward and welcome the angels! "

…………

The mansion next to the general's office in Dushikou Castle was previously vacant, and Zhang Cheng had been using it to hold wine and banquets, but today a distinguished guest was ushered in here.

In the main hall of the mansion, Zhang Cheng and others who had just received the imperial edict sat at the bottom, while the new surveillance eunuch Li Guofu sat at the top, and he stood up and said in a solemn voice: "The sage said, Zhang Cheng quickly kneels to receive it!"

Not to mention the other people present, even Zhang Cheng was shocked, why did this come out again?
But if you don't think about it in a hurry, everyone hurriedly got up and knelt behind Zhang Cheng to accompany him to receive the command from the Holy Majesty.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng and the others had already knelt down, Li Guofu raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Li Guofu, you go and tell Zhang Cheng that he will be good at training the new army for me, so as not to cause trouble, and it is the right thing to do things for me seriously. way!"

After he stopped, there was a smile on his face, and he said in a sharp voice: "Admiral Zhang, wow, our family has finished delivering the Holy Majesty's oral instructions, so get up quickly."

This Li Guofu, courtesy name Tengyu, from Daxing, was the adopted son of Han Zanzhou, the former minister of the Emperor Chongzhen's hidden residence, the eunuch of Li, and he was fairly decent, without any obvious bad deeds.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, he was awarded the eunuch of Yuma and was ordered to supervise the army at Zijingguan. After returning to the palace to return to his command, he was sent to Xuanzhen North Road to monitor Zhang Cheng's training of the new army.

Of course, the above information was reported by Niu Sheng in the second secret letter sent by the capital, and it was also the information that Niu Sheng obtained through various means and channels.

In fact, what Zhang Cheng didn't know was that the new surveillance eunuch Li Guofu was just like his adoptive father Han Zanzhou. Both of them were extremely loyal to Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty.

According to historical records, both of them were later sent to Nanjing. After the death of Emperor Chongzhen, they still served Nanming until their death. I don't know how much better it is to wait for the rape.

It’s just that Zhang Cheng doesn’t know about these historical records. Although he likes and pays close attention to the Ming Dynasty in later generations, he still has a little impression of those big events and famous historical figures. But for a character like Li Guofu, Zhang Cheng really didn't know anything about it.

At this moment, Li Guofu said in his ears that he had finished announcing the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen, and was calling him to get up and sit down, but he was still kneeling on the ground, and he barely got up until Zhang Guangda and Chen Zheng got up to help him. He helped him back to the chair and sat down.

Only then did Zhang Cheng tremble and say: "Eunuch Li must have worked hard all the way, please rest for a while, and prepare some water and wine here, and come later to invite him to a banquet at the mansion. Take the wind and wash away the dust. I don't know, okay?"

Li Guofu coughed lightly twice, and then said: "Our family is also a little tired, we should rest for a while.

However, I still have to ask Admiral Zhang, the emperor is also very concerned about Admiral Zhang's injury in the palace, seeing that he still needs someone to help him, I don't know what is going on now, when will he recover? "

"Ah, back to Mr. Li, Zhang Cheng's arrow wound should have healed long ago, but the Xue Wu rebels made poisonous arrows, and now the wound is always repeated. There is a doctor who heals the arrow wound by his side. He said that after repeating it once or twice, he can be cured.

It is true that father-in-law Lao is worried about me, but Zhang Cheng is deeply disturbed, and he is afraid that he will miss the training for His Majesty! "

Zhang Cheng's sincere words made Li Guofu nod his head again and again. It seemed that he was very concerned about Zhang Cheng, so he continued: "Xue and Wu are really damned for rebelling against the party. Our family also thinks such thieves are very hateful." ,
Now that there is a resurgence of bandits, the emperor is working hard day and night in the palace. Our family is heartbroken when we see it. We can only devote ourselves to the king's affairs and share the worries of the holy one. I ask Admiral Zhang to take good care of his body as soon as possible and become a strong team as soon as possible to serve the emperor. ! "

"Naturally, Eunuch will take a break first, Zhang Cheng will leave, and I will invite Eunuch later."

…………

That night, in the Flower Hall of the General’s Office, Zhang Cheng set up a family banquet to welcome Li Guofu, the supervisor and eunuch. After some excuses, the two old ladies finally sat in the head seats.

Father-in-law Li Guofu sat next to Zhang Hanshi, the second-ranked wife of Zhang Cheng's aunt, and Zhang Cheng ordered someone to support him and sat next to Li Guofu. invite to accompany.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are eight kinds of side dishes, four cold and four hot, plus a bowl of chicken mushroom soup. In front of each person is a small pot of freshly warmed flower carvings.

Because the opposite of the two old ladies was empty, Zhang Cheng ordered someone to pull up a gauze curtain in front of it. Liu Ying and Liu Yan opened their red lips lightly behind the gauze curtain, whispered softly, flicked and sang softly, Add to the fun this reception banquet.

Li Guofu seemed to like this kind of warm and romantic family banquet very much. He took the lead in toasting the two old ladies with a wine cup.

However, this Li Guofu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he was able to climb from an unknown eunuch to his current position, not only because of the care of his adoptive father Han Zanzhou, but also because of his own intelligence and vigilance.

During the banquet, apart from occasionally listening to Yingying and Yanyan's ditty tapping on the table, they would chat with Aunt Zhang Cheng for no other reason, only because Aunt Zhang Cheng's maiden name was Han, which was the same as his adoptive father, which made him He just has a natural intimacy.

Everyone chatted and drank elegantly, and the time gradually passed, Li Guofu suddenly asked Zhang Cheng: "Admiral Zhang, can you take our family to the camp tomorrow to see how the new recruits are practicing bravely."
