eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 64
Amidst the howling north wind, the fast horses from the west arrived in Gansu Town,
Zhu Mingzhi, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Town, took the letter from the capital and left the government office like a whirlwind to find the guarding eunuch Zhang Di.

Speaking of which, Zongbing Zhu was anxious. This eunuch surnamed Zhang loved being clean very much. He had to take a bath every day, which was a waste of time. The weather in the northwest was really not suitable for him.

"...Is this the Tatars attacking again or something?" Seeing Zhu Mingzhi's anxious expression, Zhang Di was a little disdainful, "Why are you in such a hurry, Commander-in-Chief? You can't even wait for our house to change?"

Even though they were two big men, they created a strange atmosphere, which made Zhu Mingzhi a little nauseous.

"Eunuch Zhang's letter should be faster than mine. You should know that Li Guang is dead, right?"

Zhang Tian came out from behind the curtain in only white clothes, and tied them as he walked. He was not considered young, but his face was clean without stubble, but it was a little dark.

But if you look closely at his facial features, he is really handsome, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a pair of sword eyebrows. It's a pity that he lost his heroic spirit when he became a eunuch.

"I know. Isn't this a good thing?" Eunuch Zhang smiled, "I don't know if God saw our family working in this miserable area in the northwest, and felt pity or something, but suddenly there was an East Palace in the court. It turned out that The military situation in the Northwest is on fire, our family has long expected that someone in the court would propose Wang Yue's recovery, and now that Li Guang is gone, we really saved you and me."

Zhu Mingzhi thought to himself, you dead eunuch is still daydreaming.Although the capital city is thousands of miles away, when did you hear this news?
"That father-in-law, look at this again."

The letter is not too long, just a few lines on a piece of rice paper.

But Zhang Yan changed his face after reading it, "It's only a few days, how can there be such a big change?"

"How is that impossible?" Zhu Mingzhi frowned. "According to letters from people in the capital, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is not only filial and benevolent, but also extremely wise. It is said that he is a very deep, thoughtful, and top-notch intelligent person. Originally, Li Guangyi died. , Wang Yue has no possibility of recovery. But for some reason, the East Palace did not like Li Guang before, but later firmly supported Wang Yue. This matter has already spread in the capital."

It was only after hearing this that Zhang Qian put all his thought into it.

There was deep worry in Zhu Mingzhi's tone: "Wang Yue, you and I are not familiar with each other. His coming this time, luck or misfortune is unpredictable."

Of course Zhang Tie knew that Li Guang's death didn't matter to him, because he was not Li Guang's person.So the relationship with Wang Yue is not much better.

But Wang Yue's reputation of being "proud and unrestrained" is outside. There is no general who knows how to fight since ancient times who doesn't love soldiers. The things he did... Once Wang Yue really comes, that old man will not care about you Who are the people in the palace?

"There is a way to talk about this matter. You and I win a few battles to reassure the court and the emperor. Then the matter of the chief officer is naturally not urgent. But you also know that Gansu Town is seriously short of wages, and my soldiers can eat It’s good to have a full meal, but how can Tatar be so easy to fight?”

Zhu Mingzhi saw that he had a lot to say, but few of them were useful.

"If Wang Yue activates it, the crown prince will be behind him. We still need to make preparations early." This is what Zhang Qian is most concerned about. If this is the case, no matter how hard their background is, it won't work.

The prince of this dynasty is not the prince who was strictly guarded by the emperor at other times.

After careful consideration, the shady father-in-law said: "Hu Guimin, should he go to the school again, or join some officials in Beijing? , but what should be fought for is still to be fought for.”

Zhu Mingzhi sighed, "Then he will be condemned to death. Would he, Hu Guimin, dare to do such a thing?"

"It's not a matter of daring or not. If something happens to us, we can't run away from him. He is a speech officer, and the emperor will never kill him. What are you afraid of? I will write this letter."

Zhu Mingzhi suggested: "Since this is the case, I still think that Wang Yue has been at home for 15 years, and he has a lot of crimes. The East Palace also reluctantly hired this person this time, or... let's add some more crimes to him?"

"No!" Zhang Qian frowned, took a deep breath himself, and then stated, "It is absolutely impossible to overturn the crime. Master Zhu is afraid that he doesn't understand the battle in the palace, and this kind of pass will pour dirty water on Wang Yue's body." , That's self-inflicted humiliation, and it's clear that you want to fight against the emperor and the prince. You think that I, Daming's Jinyiwei, are vegetarians, and you and I can't be found out?! Isn't this a clear excuse for others?"

Zhu Mingzhi really didn't understand, and he justified: "How is this splashing dirty water?! Wang Yue himself is in the dirty water!"

"That won't work! People in their 70s have been dirty for a lifetime. If you don't splash it early or late, you insist on splashing at this pass. What does that mean? Master Zhu, our family must remind you, don't You're smart, your tricks are so tender in the Forbidden City."

After all, it's really too stupid. Basically, as soon as someone makes a move, they will see through your pants.

Zhu Mingzhi knew that he was a vulgar person and couldn't refute, but he was also anxious: "Then what do you think?"

They dare not kill Wang Yue even more, because it is not only blatant and blatant, but also treats the court as nothing, which will definitely lead to a thorough investigation of the case, and then there is really no turning back.

Zhang Qian thought for a while, "Gansu Town has become a place that everyone cares about now, we should restrain ourselves a little bit in some matters. Besides, the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, so you don't need to be too anxious, it's not time to desperately."

This refers to Zhu Mingzhi's stupid trick against Wang Yue just now.

"So, Eunuch Zhang, is there another way?"

Zhang Qian was a little panicked because of the accident at first, but now he has gradually recovered, "There are not many good ways, but if Wang Yue really comes, you and I can only... find someone to take the blame."

Zhu Mingzhi was shocked,
At the same time, a chill came to my heart,
Damn, if you want to say yin, these dead eunuchs are really yin.

"Who are you looking for?"

"The Mei family."

"Then what are they guilty of?"

"Of course it's smuggling prohibited goods, doing business secretly with the Tatars, collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the evidence of the crime is true, we can kill him now. Once a person shuts up, he can't say anything, even if we say it is true. He cooperated with the outside world to cause us to fail, so there is no evidence of death. Besides, you and I will not take any of the confiscated property, and use it as military pay to buy military supplies. Lord Zhu used this to motivate the soldiers to win a battle no matter what, and find a way to stand up Xingong, so the imperial court will not kill us easily."

Zhu Mingzhi was really shocked when he heard that, there is a response in Beijing, and there is a response here, and now looking at his method of pouring dirty water on Wang Yue, he feels even more stupid.

But if you want to talk about this matter, it's all blessings and misfortunes never come singly, that is, the second night after their discussion.

The north wind howled like a tiger, but Mr. Zhu still went to find Eunuch Zhang.

This made Eunuch Zhang very depressed, "Why does Mr. Zhu rush to see me when I'm not well dressed?"

"Why are you still in the mood for joking? My Eunuch Zhang," Zhu Mingzhi said anxiously like ants on a hot pot, "Hu Guimin, you've been investigated!"

"what?!"
