Chapter 218 Passion

After seeing Zhu Feng, Chen Rui left the Chinese army tent and returned to his tent where he was sleeping. Before he could sit down and have a sip of tea, Zhang Yong came.

"Eunuch Zhang?"

The person Chen Rui respected the most in the army was naturally the close minister around the queen and the lieutenant who helped Wang Weining achieve a great victory in a partial pass.

Zhang Yong motioned to Chen Rui not to be polite, and then sat down.

"Uncle Pingjiang, you just went to see Uncle Anbian and what you said is already known to our family."

After Zhang Yong finished speaking, Chen Rui became cautious.

At that time, in addition to Zhang Yanling eavesdropping for a while, there were also ears through the wall?

It seems that Zhang Yong, the eunuch who oversees the army, is still very competent and keeps an eye on them all the time.

Zhang Yongdao: "I heard that you gave your daughter to Mr. Zhang, so why are you talking to Uncle An Bian about marriage?"

"This..." Chen Rui didn't know Zhang Yong's intention and couldn't explain it.

It's a bit like betrothing a daughter to two families. Although it's not considered a betrothal to Zhang Zhou, you can't go back on your promise to go out.

"My daughter-in-law is already in Mr. Zhang's name, haven't she been sent to the house? Don't blame our family for talking too much. Before our family leaves the capital, some colleagues will tell our family about this. If you

I want to regret it by marrying An Bian Bo, so I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Because your Majesty is also aware of this matter."

Zhang Yong actually came to persuade Chen Rui not to mess around.

The emperor asked you to come to Liaodong to lead troops and gave you a chance to make a difference. Do you think there are no preconditions?

Are you giving gifts to Zhang Zhou? The emperor is looking at your attitude in giving gifts. Only if you can sincerely serve Zhang Zhou will the emperor feel that you are one of his own.

It turns out that you just said that you would give your daughter to Zhang Zhou... Let’s not talk about Zhang Zhou’s attitude towards this, but if you go back on your word, you will be causing trouble for yourself.

"The general has learned a lesson." Chen Rui quickly showed a fearful attitude.

Zhang Yong sighed: "What's so good about Uncle An Bian? It's just a vase. There are so many vases in the world, and you have to support this vase when you marry him. Why not find a good backer, under a big tree, where you can enjoy the shade?"

."

Zhang Yong is reminding Chen Rui.

You chose the wrong target.

It seems that marrying Zhu Feng is a good thing for you, but in fact Zhu Feng has no ability at all and relies entirely on Zhang Zhou to support him.

You can't do the right thing at the beginning and then regret it when you think it's going to hurt your old face.

"Yes, yes." Chen Rui continued to respond.

Zhang Yong smiled and said: "If we can win this battle, our family will rely on you more in the future."

"When Eunuch Zhang promotes a junior general, it should be for you to drive him." Chen Rui also saw that Zhang Yong also wanted to recruit him.

Does Zhang Yongyong want to win over Wang Weining?

But what is Wang Weining's identity? Although Wang Weining likes to curry favor with middle-ranking officials, he likes to curry favor with the one who is the biggest, either Dai Yi or Chen Kuan.

Now Wang Weining has obviously fawned over Zhang Zhou, and he only shows courtesy and respect to Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong still wants to make achievements in the military world in the future. In the future, if he wants to be a royal eunuch, admiral of the Beijing camp, and other positions, he needs to

They have military backgrounds.

Chen Rui also seemed to understand why Zhang Yong wanted to advise him on giving away his daughter, because the two of them had common interests.

…

March 18th.

Early in the morning, all the tributes gathered at the left gate of Chang'an.

This place is also called "Dragon Gate", because every time the yellow list and the golden list are hung here for the palace examination, for the scholars in the world, this is the symbol of the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. This time every tribute came here.

They all looked happy.

Basically, there are no candidates who fail the palace examination. Even if there are those who fail the palace examination, it is basically because their parents died suddenly and they had to go back to stay in the system, or they suddenly fell seriously ill or suffered from burping.

Those Gongshi who did not participate in the palace examination would be released as Jinshi after the expiration of the period of service. This has always been the case in the Ming Dynasty.

"Everyone, have you heard anything? It is said that after this palace examination, Shujishi will not be selected. It seems that apart from winning the Dingjia, there is no possibility of palace selection."

The gold medal list has not yet been hung, and the tributes do not need to line up, but are exchanging news with each other.

What concerned them the most was the selection of the Ming Dynasty's prime minister, and the selection examination for Shujishi was cancelled.

After hearing this news, many people also cast hostile eyes on Tang Yin, because the rumors from outside basically described this incident. The main reason why Shujishi was not selected this time was that this examination involved vendetta.

question.

It turned out that Zhang Zhou was also involved in the case.

But if the candidates want to hate him, they can't hate Zhang Zhou. Even if they want to express their anger, they still have to pick on Tang Yin, a soft persimmon.

"Bingkuan."

Zhang Zhou was still standing there with his eyes closed and concentrating. Lin Ting came over and saluted Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhoudui smiled and cupped his hands: "Brother Lin."

Lin Ting said: "I was too embarrassed to ask you in front of others about the poem about my sister-in-law..."

There was no need to talk nonsense. Anyway, the imperial examination was over and only the results were left. Lin Ting now went straight to the point and asked about the poem.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Didn't your sister write it?"

"Bingkuan, people in the Ming Dynasty don't speak secretly. My sister-in-law has been troubled a lot by this matter. Please clear up the doubts." Lin Ting was also polite.

You, Zhang Zhou, took a poem and said it was written by my sister. I didn’t brag about it and stare at you, so I can’t see any ill intentions on your part, but a literati will also seek truth from facts.

Zhang Zhou shook his head: "Actually, Brother Lin, you shouldn't ask, do you have to say something clearly?"

"that is you……"

Lin Ting is also a smart person.

Since it was not written by my sister, and no one else has acknowledged that it was written by her, it can only be Zhang Zhou’s masterpiece?

Zhang Zhou didn't deny it, which was equivalent to admitting it.

Lin Ting said: "Then why don't you..."

Zhang Zhou said: "Fame and fame are like floating clouds to me. Let's talk about a little bit of false fame. If you don't understand, Brother Lin, you may want to ask your father for advice."

"Father?" Lin Ting was puzzled.

Is this my father's instruction?

Zhang Zhou actually told him that your father still thought that the Queen Mother Zhou asked me to do this. In fact, I just wanted to get rid of your sister early and stop her from pestering me... As expected, your family members all have the same personality. They like to give

People are looking for trouble.

It’s not that one family doesn’t enter the same house.

"The results are released!"

Just as he was talking, an official from the Ministry of Etiquette came out at the door, holding a gold list, ready to announce it.

Later, they will also line up and enter the palace to prepare for the Chuanlu Ceremony.

…

…

Inside Fengtian Hall.

The court meeting is still in progress, and the focus of the day's agenda is that the northwest censor impeached Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu for not being able to leave after arriving at Yansui, which was suspected of delaying the fighter plane, and there was also a situation of retreating when encountering the enemy.

Zhu Youtang sent Xiao Jing to bother Zhang Zhou last night. This is the key point.

It's not that Zhu Fu can be safe if the emperor doesn't hold him accountable. In fact, Ke Dao's officials are clear about what he did in the northwest. The more Dayan Khan's men make trouble around Yansui, the more pressure Zhu Fu will have.

If you don't send troops, you will be impeached. It depends on the emperor's decision.

"My lords, even if Duke Cheng Guo made no progress in Yansui, at least he didn't cause the place to be robbed, right?"

Zhu Youtang would still say a few words on Zhu Fu's behalf.

Zhang Zhou did not favor Zhu Fu, but the emperor would think that this was the commander-in-chief appointed by me. If he had not made a big mistake, why should you ask me to give Zhu Fu, who had just been transferred to the northwest a short time ago? Dismissal and investigation?

Ma Wensheng, Secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, Yansui involves hundreds of thousands of acres of surrounding farmland. If the Tatars continue to refuse to retreat and the border troops continue to show no movement, I am afraid it will affect spring sowing, summer harvest and other matters, and the various passes will be affected." We must strictly guard against it, and we may be able to drive away the Tatar raiders and horses."

Ma Wensheng also did not support directly sending troops to the grassland.

But Zhu Fu always kept his troops in the pass, and he was even more opposed to it.

When the Tatars come, they don't want to engage in battle. They don't even pursue them. There is no real fighting between the two sides. Now the people and animals around Yansui are protected by city fortresses, but there are no walls around the fields. The Tatar cavalry want to Trample on, trample on.

Xie Qian also came out and said: "Your Majesty, now the emphasis of the troops on the nine sides should be transferred to Yansui, Ningxia and Guyuan."
