Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After leaving the chamberlain, Zhang Ning and Luo Yaoniang stopped in a pavilion by the artificial river.  As the sun sets in the west, the spring breeze blows gently, and the water surface shines with a dreamy luster, as if it is not reality.  All the landscapes in the palace are artificially carved. They look green, natural and fresh, but in fact the world is not born that way.  The river bank is paved with pebbles, which makes the water look clean and clear. If it were not for the artificial decoration of pebbles, it would be mud covered with weeds instead of the beautiful scenery in front of you. The stone paths in the forest are quiet and clean, and are cleaned every day.  The palace wall isolates the hustle and bustle, otherwise how can the downtown area be so elegant?

    "You'd better make Xiao Qing mentally prepared. I think this matter is very suspenseful and I'm afraid it won't succeed." Zhang Ning said thoughtfully.

    Luo Yaoniang said: "We have done what we can to help her. Besides, there is no chance. We can only depend on God's will."

    She looked at the man in front of her. Is this the person she will spend the rest of her life with?  His dress today is a bit weird, but overall it is pleasing to the eye. This is the person he chose back then. Of course, he can accept it in all aspects. The only thing he is not satisfied with is that he has to share it with another woman; Luo Yaoniang is in her twenties.  She is now 10 years old. The older she gets, the more knowledge she has and the more picky she becomes. If Yang Shiqi had arranged a husband for her casually when she was just over ten years old, she might have been able to accept it, but now it is difficult to meet such a person.

    Zhang Ning is also wearing a navy uniform, a cyan top and light gray trousers. The original single-color material is relatively plain, but the gold-thread embroidered collar pattern and other accessories add a bit of flamboyance. The belt is a card commonly used in armor.  The spring belt is made of gold as a whole, and the dagger scabbard on the side is inlaid with jewelry and gold. There is a heavy metal feel everywhere on the body; the white gloves on the hands have an artificial feel.

    In such a pavilion with gilt tiles, surrounded by classical garden scenery, there stands a person who seems to be from a different era, and next to him is a graceful woman wearing a goose yellow low-waisted skirt. It is a very alternative scene.  Even Zhang Ning himself felt that hundreds of years might be just an illusion.

    Maybe it was the quiet environment, but Zhang Ning seemed very patient. He said, "I'm afraid the Jin Yiwei officer will not do anything for a woman. The status of women in the Ming Dynasty was very low. Don't you understand?"

    Luo Yaoniang frowned slightly and said, "But Xiao Qing said that Lu Qianshi dotes on Wang Yue Qianxue. Isn't he willing to do even a small thing for her?"

    Zhang Ning shook his head and smiled: "Do you think all men in the world are like me and take women's affairs seriously as one thing?"

    Luo Yaoniang quarreled angrily: "Wang Po is not so shameless when she sells melons! Even if you are right, it is because of lust. If you are not a lust, how can you go around with women?"

    "That's not the case. If he is just a lustful person, he must treat women as playthings. How could I ever be like this?" Zhang Ning said.  Luo Yaoniang followed her meaning and asked: "Then what do you think?" Zhang Ning took a few steps and said: "I think women are cute and pitiful people. They may want to live a good life and have beautiful clothes.  There is nothing wrong with someone liking someone and caring about them. We are conquering the world. Wouldn't it be a pity if one day we gain power and wealth but lose someone who is willing to give and share?"

    Luo Yaoniang pondered for a moment, then blurted out and asked: "Our family regretted their marriage before, do you really not care anymore?"

    Zhang Ning shook his head, looking very open-minded.

    ¡­¡­

    There are still people in the world who work hard for other people's things, but those closest to them are the ones who are truly concerned and anxious about themselves.  Zhang Ning could personally release a uniformed guard in exchange for hostages and go back to report the news, but would he be extra concerned about whether the matter would succeed?  The only person who cares about Doctor Xiao's life and death is Xiao Qing; the only person who cares about Wang Yue Hongying is her sister.

    Doctor Xiao was quickly executed, and the compromise in exchange failed easily. The Japanese woman beside Lu Qianshi quietly left.

    Of course Lu Qianshi would not exchange hostages for a "plaything", although he could do it if he wanted to.  The imperial edict is in charge of Fusi in North Town, and Lu Qianshi is an official in Fusi in South Town. However, he always has some good friends within Jinyiwei. The case of Dr. Xiao is not an important case. For such a character, we should open up the joints and find someone.  It is possible to work out the reason quietly.  But the key is that the plot to assassinate King Xiang of Huguang was mentioned before the imperial court. Now that the assassination failed, Doctor Xiao's affairs were related to the assassination. Lu Qianshi refused to exchange hostages without any hesitation to avoid extraneous matters and cause some unforeseen troubles to himself.  .

    He even took the opportunity to report everything to the emperor in detail to show his loyalty.

    Emperor Zhu Zhanji didn¡¯t seem to care much about such things. He only asked about the result and stopped caring.  A while ago, Dongchang Jinyiwei and one or two civil servants set up a plan to assassinate him, but Zhu Zhanji now seems to understand that these trails are not worth placing too much hope on, and victory can only be achieved through strength.?.  From his childhood experiences around Emperor Yongle to his experience as the crown prince, Zhu Zhanji realized from the bottom of his heart the true rules of this world. Only strong and weak forces with integrity are king.

    The failure of the conspiracy made Lu Qianshi unable to raise his head in front of the emperor. He quietly looked at the British Duke Zhang Fu standing aside, and seemed to be laughing at him. When this matter was originally decided, Zhang Fu was the one who strongly opposed it.

    Sure enough, Zhang Fu said: "In ancient times, when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, he had to pay the head of an admiral of Yan and a map of a large area of ??land within ten steps. In the end, he was not successful. What's more, the factory guards are just hastily preparing now? If the assassin succeeded so easily, what's the point?  Why do we have to work so hard to quell Huguang for several years?"

    Zhu Zhanji said: "The Jin Yiwei are still meritorious, and they have made detailed inquiries into the movements of the bandits. It is reported that the rebels are building ships in Jiujiang to recruit naval forces. Are they really planning to take the Yangtze River to attack Nanjing?"

    Zhang Fu hurriedly added: "I have already guessed this."

    Zhu Zhanji hurriedly asked: "What good words does the British Duke have for me?"

    "The rebels occupy a small area in Huguang and Jiangxi, but their resources are weak. Judging from the situation of building large ships and recruiting soldiers from all over, they have to do their best, and it is definitely not a cover-up to mislead others. In my opinion, the rebels blatantly want to take Nanjing.  . This trend is indeed in the interests of the rebels. Attacking from the upper reaches to the lower reaches will gain geographical advantages, and once they capture the southern capital, it will become a trend, and the imperial court will have to guard against it." Zhang Fu said in a sincere tone, "It is not too late, the imperial court must make a decision early  Our policy is to protect Nanjing at the moment, and everything will be based on this major event."

    Zhu Zhanji said: "The British Lord wants us to switch from offense to defense? How should we ensure that Nanjing is safe?"

    "First gather the southern army from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and divide the troops into several groups to threaten the rebels near Jingzhou and Yongzhou in the south of Huguang. If the rebels do not take precautions, then go north to recover the Changsha areas. If they take precautions, they can contain their forces. Order each route  No rash advance is allowed. In addition, the Sichuan and Jingxiang roads continue to confront each other on the north bank of Yuezhou, once again containing the rebel forces. The Huguang area is surrounded by heavy troops. At this time, the rebels want to mobilize their troops to the east. The army is weakened before it can gain strength; our elite army  The remnants of the Beijing camp, the Xuanfu frontier army, and the frontier army transferred from the southeast of Liaoning, together with the Yangtze River navy, intercepted and fought with it along the river. At present, the main focus should be on defense and containment, and should not continue to underestimate the enemy and advance to suppress it." British Duke Zhang Fu  And talk.

    Zhu Zhanji turned to look at the new chief minister Yang Rong, "What do you think?"

    Since Yang Shiqi left, Yang Rong has the qualifications and prestige to serve as the first assistant. In addition, the war is still going on all year round, and Yang Rong has long been aware of military defense, so it is logical that he became the first assistant of the cabinet.

    Yang Rong took two steps forward and bowed: "Returning to the emperor, I agree with the British minister's proposal. Since the chaos in Huguang, the imperial court has used troops one after another in the past few years. In dozens of large and small battles, there have been more defeats than wins, and the key battles have never been won.  However, this is why the rogue bandits continue to grow. In such a situation, the court should not continue to attack rashly, otherwise the elites will suffer casualties and lose their vitality along the way. In the words of the British public, the court should first block the rogue bandits to stabilize their position, and then work hard to learn lessons.  It¡¯s a sound policy.¡±

    In Zhu Zhanji¡¯s view, the British Duke, Yang Rong and others are all rare capable ministers and generals, but unexpectedly they can¡¯t come up with a good strategy to quell the chaos. What can they do now?  Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to agree to the advice of the important ministers, and made arrangements on three fronts and ordered the ministers to implement it as soon as possible.

    The Hunan bandit Zhang Ning is really a bit evil. In the past few years, the whole world thought that the Han Dynasty's rebellion was a big deal. Somehow, after several battles to quell the rebellion, Huguang became a serious problem, which was unexpected.  As the emperor, Zhu Zhanji could only stay clear-headed in his decision-making, but he could not personally become a famous general. When he was with Emperor Yongle, he had seen battle formations, marches, and battles, but his experience alone was not enough to make him the emperor's grandfather.  A person who can conquer the north and south and dominate the world.

    When the ministers were about to retire, Zhu Zhanji suddenly recited a poem, "The grass is luxuriant when returning to Pima, and the young man is so kind and guarding Huo Qi. The ax and ax are old and powerful, and the dragon is in the north, and the pool platform is newly given to the west of Fengcheng. The door is open and green trees are blooming.  Golden lock, the building faces the green mountains and leans on the jade ladder. All the passers-by on the southern road look back, and the music is played by the dusk clouds."

    When everyone heard this, even Zhang Fu, who had been a soldier all his life, recognized the meaning of "Wei Huoqi" in the poem. The emperor expressed his desire to seek talents and hoped that someone like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing could fight well and help the emperor solve the problem.  Threat.

    ????????????????? All the ministers present were favored by the Holy Spirit and held military and political power, but no one could make any contribution to put down the rebellion. For a while, everyone not only hung their heads in shame.
