Chapter 94 The dark side of a rainy night
The man in black laughed a few times, and everyone around him looked at the old man in confusion.
The old man said in a bewitching tone;
"The Marquis's words are bad. In the past, it was really impossible. Most of us were a little desperate. But after seeing the Marquis and seeing so many military governors, I felt it was possible. Do the Marquis agree?
.”
The old man in black laughed a few more times, and everyone around him was thinking.
The old man waved his sleeves, looked at the people in the hall, and continued in a firm tone;
"Marty, and you all, today there are so many military governors who are still noble border troops, and their strength is getting bigger and bigger. The royal family is still hanging in the air, and they have two palaces in politics, and they are not interested in making progress. This is God's will!"
"Haha, interesting, so interesting. I didn't expect that those with ability and capable ran away from the court."
Zhang Jinyu did not answer, but laughed and sighed.
"Mr. Marquis, should you laugh at us or the court?"
The old man in black stared at Zhang Jinyu and said choked,
"Who is it important to laugh at? A person will do something in his life and do not do anything. No matter when or where, in times of crisis, he will pay responsibilities. Now the court is getting worse and worse, and it is even hard to return, but he still firmly occupies the righteousness.
You can't do anything now."
"A good person does something and does not do anything. I didn't expect that the Marquis is also a person with a temperament. To be honest, the Marquis may have been outside the pass for a long time and still don't know much about the situation in Dawu Pass. Those people in the court only know how to dress up the whitewash.
It is peaceful and strive to maintain the situation, but it is an indisputable fact that the local area is growing bigger, and the Marquis agrees with it.”
"Of course, but you said I don't understand the situation inside the city, how can I solve it?"
The old man in black coughed for a while. When Zhang Jinyu saw someone bringing a stool for him to sit down. After the old man thanked him, he spoke slowly to introduce the situation inside the pass.
In the pass, the governors from all over the country grew stronger and stronger day by day, with more and more soldiers. It was basically difficult for the court to replace those residents who were on the ground, which was one of them.
Furthermore, there is the border army system. The nobles are desperately controlling the border army, and it is difficult for the royal family to intervene. Except for the Beijing camp and the imperial guards in the capital, they can control the others at will, and it is also difficult to replace them. The situation inside the pass is now
Fortunately, if the situation inside the city is in chaos, it might be possible.
Zhang Jinyu also said this after hearing this. One thing is that no one wants to be the first to be the one who stands out.
"It's all right, but who will be the first to be the leader? He is not that stupid as the driving force of the king."
"Awesome, Marquis, I've said that I'm going to go up. Dawu is not short of traitors. The Taiping Sect in the south of Dawu is ready to move. The White Lotus Sect in the Central Plains is hidden underwater. The Zoroastrian Cult in the northwest is booming. Do you think there are any pioneers?"
Zhang Jinyu was stunned when he heard this. The White Lotus Sect is quite familiar with it. It is well-known in history. The Taiping Sect is not very clear. It should be the mastermind of the silver robbery case in Beijing before, and the Zoroastrianism in the northwest. Could it be the Ming Sect? It's so chaotic, I like it.
After looking at the old man in black, I felt that it was a little pleasing to him. What can be done for Dawu is good, and what can make Dawu feel pain is the great talent, and I like talents.
"It's my benefit to let you go."
Zhang Jinyu asked directly without saying anything else. The old man in black choked and said so much that he shouldn't be talking about cooperation or something.
"The Marquis is really a pleasure-seeking person, so I won't hide it anymore. This is a hidden palace in the former prince. There are a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as 3,000 sets of armor and crossbows. You can give it to the Marquis."
"Where?"
"Just under the seat behind the Marquis, just unscrew the handrail from the main seat."
After hearing this, Zhang Jinyu immediately walked down from the main seat. Duan Hong walked forward and twisted hard, and then the seat fell down, revealing a fellow underground palace gate. Duan Hong asked several soldiers to go down first to investigate and check it out.
After that, Zhang Jinyu was not in a hurry. Safety first, and he would not run away anyway.
Duan Hong came up shortly after, and spoke up to report the situation.
"Mr. Marquis, the place below is really big, with 5 million taels of silver, 1 million taels of gold, and three thousand armors and long-arm crossbows, countless arrows."
"So many, can you be sure of it."
"Return to the Marquis, it's confirmed that it's all the best armor-breaking arrows."
Zhang Jinyu looked back and saw that the old man was not young anymore, and now he felt obviously tired on his face. Zhang Jinyu didn't want to leave these people here. He either killed them all or left quickly, or he might as well make some trouble for Dawu.
.
"You can give the armor to you, but the crossbow cannot be done. Now I will call the people who come and carry it out and leave. I will stay here, as long as there is information."
"If there is any information, I will notify the Marquis directly and will be sent to the Marquis' mansion. The Marquis' cooperation is pleasant."
Zhang Jinyu nodded and ordered Duan Hong to release others, but he should take strict supervision. If he intends to kill, he will not be allowed.
The old man nodded with relief and started asking people to come in to move the armor when he went out. The carriage and straw raincoat were ready, and it was finished in a short while. He withdrew from the back door of the village, and his movements seemed extremely refined.
After walking far away, the leader of the black man relaxed and asked the old man sitting in the carriage.
"Commander, this Mr. Luo Yun is indeed well-known and is too cruel."
"Can you be ruthless? He is smart enough to have so many troops under his command."
"What does this mean?"
"It seems that he is selling us well and returning the important armor to us. He is afraid that something will happen, and he can see from the recognition of the armor, so he simply doesn't leave any of them. Alas, the chances of the little prince are slim."
The convoy's men in black were silent after hearing this. The rainy nights became heavier, and the convoy gradually disappeared in the hazy.
In the Zhuangzi Hall, Zhang Jinyu quickly ordered the entire army to enter the village, keep the guards, and all of them found the palace to make fire and shelter from the rain, and then talked about it when the rain stopped.
Beijing,
Grand Inner Palace Hall of Care,
Shortly after nightfall, lightning and thunder were heard, and the wind blew.
Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong stood behind the palace window and watched the strong wind blowing outside, and he remained silent for a long time.
Dai Quan behind him was also persuading;
"Your Majesty, it's cold at night. It's going to rain this day, so it's better to rest earlier."
"Yes, it's going to rain soon. Look at how strong the wind is, and the storm is about to come and the wind fills the building."
Dai Quan was silent after hearing this and stopped talking.
"Have all the border troops arrived?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, except for the pass, the Luoyun Marquis has not arrived yet, and the other border troops have already arrived."
"Well, it's great, it's good that we'll arrive. In this weather, Luo Yunhou is probably going to be a few days later. How are the border troops of Anhu Camp performing?"
Dai Quan took out the booklet from his arms as usual and started reading.
"When you go back to your Majesty, the border army is still making trouble, saying that they are not full, and there are common things in fighting. Then they just want to go into the capital, and most of the border army wants to go into the city to see."
When Emperor Wu of Zhou Shihong heard the corners of his mouth slightly raised, it would be enough to get enough without fish, and he would also add some fuel to the fire.
"You inform the Ministry of Revenue and immediately pay the salary in advance. You can rest the border troops or enter the city, but the weapons cannot be brought out of the camp. The daily quota is limited. You can apply for 3,000 quotas per day and enter and leave the capital city.
.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, your Majesty's slave has something unknown. Although these three thousand people are not many, what if they cause trouble in the capital?"
Emperor Wu smiled strangely,
"Then it depends on what the cabinet master will do."
The Minister of Revenue of the Cabinet, Gu Ge Lao, had already prepared the salary of the border army, but it had not been paid for it for a long time. It was not because it had not been fully arrived, but wanted to discuss with the Ministry of War how to issue the issue method, whether to directly give to the generals leading the army or the household.
The department sent it directly, which was very involved.
Gu Yichen also talked about this matter with the Minister of War Zhao Ge Lao, but this old man Zhao firmly disagreed with the payment of money from the Ministry of Revenue and must be handed over to the generals leading the army. The two of them had a fight over this matter, and it was very late.
They returned to their respective mansions.
The Minister of Revenue Gu Yichen returned to his mansion, entered the study and cursed in anger. His wife An was still comforting him;
"Master, why are you so angry? Don't be angry."
When Gu Yichen heard the voice, he knew that it was his first wife, Mrs. An, and sat there and sighed;
"It's better to be a wife. I'm just angry that old man Zhao Jingwu has gone further and further away from civil servants. Now he's talking to those group of Qiu Bas. I don't think about his Jinshi's origin. Can those nobles accept him?
Set obstacles for me everywhere.”
"Master, please calm down,"
An handed over the tea again, wiped it with a towel, and then said;
"Master, is this too dangerous?"
"Where is it dangerous? Isn't it just a waste of salary? This,"
Gu Yichen suddenly felt extremely inappropriate. This matter was really dangerous.
