Chapter 116: Five Thunders After the Bolt from the Blue

Although Zhang Min didn't like Zhang Yue, and was even more reluctant to bring such a cousin to Beijing, he managed to win over the stubborn Mrs. Wang and his third brother Zhang Fu, so he never looked down on him in the past.

Zhang Yue was nothing at this time. In his opinion, a young scholar who had just turned fifteen years old really had nothing to worry about. A poor scholar with little fame could not be a big deal just by grabbing him on the streets of the capital.

Bundle?

If it were normal, Zhang Fu would have to fan the flames and say a few words. However, this time he was so angry that he couldn't think of reminding the arrogant second brother. So that day, outside Jinchuan

When we set off from the pier outside the door, he didn't show up at all. He only ordered someone to tell him that he was also sick.

This time in a hurry to go to Beijing, the Zhang family naturally couldn't care less about the ostentation. Those who saw them off at the pier were just a few of their own family members. No matter how much Zhang Min hoped for it, he still had a heavy look on his face at this moment.

, it wasn’t until he turned around to board the ship that his normal complexion returned.

Zhang Yue traveled from north to south half a year ago, and now he had to go from south to north again. He had to say a few words to his father who came to see him off, but before he could get to the really important point, they both spoke at the same time.

He heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. At this time, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows strangely: "The sound of horse hoofbeats is so neat and tight, why does it sound like someone from the army?"

Waijinchuanmen Pier is an important terminal from the Yangtze River to the canal. There are many cargo ships and passenger ships on weekdays. Horses are needed to transport goods and people. The sound of horse hooves was not surprising at first. However, at this time, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder.

General, but with a rhythm, as if the knights riding the horses were all well-trained people. When such a group of people appeared in the field of vision at lightning speed, Zhang Yue didn't know whether to say that he knew what was going on, or that he was a god.

It’s time to say that you have a crow’s mouth.

When he saw the leader, all he could think of was seven words - look down, don't see him, look up - is someone haunting him. Or is he too predestined with someone? However, when he saw the two prison cars behind him,

, his expression suddenly changed. He didn't recognize the people in the latter car, but he had met the people in the front car once at Du's house.

It turned out to be Liang Qian, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a right-hand member of the Youchunfang Palace in the East Palace!

At that moment, Zhang Yue felt a chill suddenly emerge from the depths of his heart and spread to his limbs in an instant. Although he was not a well-informed person, he was still a British public citizen.

Cousin. Even if he didn't inquire, there would still be a lot of news coming to his door. For example, about Liang Qian being arrested by the Jin Yiwei, at least he didn't get any news at all, let alone what happened. He vaguely felt that God felt that a bolt from the blue was not enough.

Cruel, another thunderbolt struck.

The leader of the Jinyiwei team is the commander Yuan Fang. The person riding next to him at this time is Mu Ning, who Zhang Yue had met twice before and was promoted to the Qianhu of Jinyiwei Henan Guards Station not long ago. However, look at the attack on the opponent now.

A more gorgeous and ostentatious brocade robe. Zhang Yue knew that this person had been promoted again, but to what position it was hard to say.

However, his shock only lasted for a short while. The next moment, he suddenly remembered the strange post his father had received before, and immediately glanced at his father's expression quietly. But to his great disappointment, Zhang Zhuo saw

The person sitting on the horse over there didn't even blink an eyelid, let alone have any strange expression. At this time, he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment. The signature was from his younger brother Mu Ning Baibai.

Could the post be just a coincidence?

Although there are still doubts in his heart, compared to the previous situation where all kinds of speculations were unavailable, Zhang Yue now clearly has some clues, and now is not the time to think about such messy things, so he quickly put down his hands.

Liang Qian, who was wearing a cloth robe and looking haggard in the sill, thought about how friendly he was chatting and laughing that day in Du Mansion, and he couldn't help but want to sigh.

Liang Qian looked like a pure scholar at first glance. Although he only came to ask for advice once after meeting him once in the Du family, he felt that this person was a decent person. Why would such a person be escorted by Jinyi guards, and judging from the situation, it seemed that he was about to be released

Capital?

Zhang Xi got on the pedal at this time, and turned around when he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. He was the commander of the Shence Guards, and was under the command of the Central Army Governor's Mansion. The Jinyi Guards were the Twelve Guards, and were not under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

Moreover, compared to other commanders of the Twelve Guards, the commander of the Jinyi Guards has always been independent and aloof in his authority. Even if he is as close and noble as him, when he saw Yuan Fang, he greeted Yuan Fang with a smile. He asked: "

Commander Yuan, why do you personally escort the carriage?"

"This is an important matter. Your Majesty has charged me to immediately escort You Chunfang Youzanshan Liang Qian and Si Jian Zhou Mian to Beijing." After Yuan Fang dismounted, he bowed slightly in reply and glanced back at the people in the two carriages.

Then he said with a smile, "To be honest with Mr. Zhang, I just got the news yesterday and arrested people all night, so I have to escort them on their way now. All matters regarding Jinyiwei in the capital and Fusi in Beizhen will be handed over to Fusi in Beizhen."

The new secretary has appointed Mu Zhenfu."

Even for someone who didn't care much about court affairs, Zhang Xi knew that Liang Qian was ordered to stay in the capital to assist the prince. He couldn't help but shuddered and instinctively took a step away from Yuan Fang. He looked around.

, found that there was a large ship next to his ship, and he expected that it must be used by the Jinyiwei, so he exchanged a few words and hurriedly boarded the ship, no longer willing to talk to the commander of the Jinyiwei who seemed to exude a cold aura.

One sentence.

Zhang Yue was only a few steps away from Yuan Fang at this time. When he saw Zhang Shi escaping onto the ship as if he were hiding from the god of plague, he couldn't help but frown. Thinking that a once trusted minister like Liang Qian ended up like this,

He felt that he couldn't express what he was feeling, so he hurriedly said a few words to his father Zhang Zhuo, said goodbye, and then got on the boat. When his big ship started slowly, he stared at the dock intently, and saw Zhang Zhuo not even a trace.

Yuan Fang got on the carriage and left without saying a word, and he suddenly became even more confused.

Traveling with Zhang Xi and his son is not a pleasant experience in the first place, but if they are followed by a leisurely large ship belonging to Jin Yiwei, the feeling of lingering like a maggot attached to the bone will be even more uncomfortable. The two of them will

The ship kept a visible distance, and the other party neither overtook nor fell behind. However, the more this happened, the more uncomfortable it became for the ship's boss and the sailors. In the end, Zhang Yue even heard Zhang Min's anger in the next cabin.

of curses.

"What are those royal guards doing? Since they are escorting important criminals, they can just drive the boat faster and pass us. Hanging behind us in such a leisurely manner is like being a ghost in hanging boots!"

These days, the south is a land of plenty, but the north has always been short of food, so the canal transport connecting the north and the south is naturally very important. Since Emperor Yongle Zhu Di is still in Beijing, there are quite a few grain ships traveling from south to north on the canal, and only official ships

But it is relatively rare, so there are few ships approaching the two ships in front and behind. This time is not as good as the three brothers traveling together last time, so Zhang Yue tries not to wander on the deck if he has nothing to do. He only goes up to the deck if he can't hold it in any longer.

Breathable.

Since we were in a hurry to get to Beijing, no one on the ship got off the ship except for supplies. Although the ship's boss and the sailors were used to making a living on the water, there were more people who were not. People on the deck came out for air almost all the time.

After having dinner in the cabin that day, Zhang Yue saw Zhang Yue, Zhang Bin and his son standing at the stern of the ship as soon as he got on the deck, so he had to glance at the big ship behind with the flag of Jinyiwei.

As soon as Zhang Yu turned his head, he saw Zhang Yue. Because of Zhang Zhuo's first words, he felt that this cousin knew his identity, so he even looked at Zhang Yue and felt that it was a little more pleasing to his eyes. He then said calmly: "In a few days,

You can get to Tianjin, which is not far from Beijing. This journey takes longer than the last time you took the boat from Kaifeng to the capital. When we get to the Tongzhou Canal Terminal, we have to take the land route. If you are tired, take a good rest in the cabin.

rest."

As soon as Zhang Bin saw Zhang Yue, he remembered the scene of humiliation in the peach blossom forest of Qixia Temple last time. A fierce light appeared in his eyes, and then he raised his head and kept silent, pretending not to see his cousin, but said: "Dad

.I feel dizzy after sitting on the boat all the way. How about going to Tianjin to rest for half a day? Just half a day! My uncle has always been in good health, so he doesn't need this half day, right?"

"Nonsense, we'll get off the ship when we get to Tongzhou. Can't you afford to wait for a few days? If your uncle has something wrong and you can't make it, then why would I bring you here?"

"Anyway, we just rushed over, there's nothing to worry about..."

Listening to the father and son talking more and more outrageously, Zhang Yue felt angry, so he simply walked towards the bow of the ship. At this time, the sky was getting darker, and a crescent moon hung hazily in the northwest corner, and a few of them could still be vaguely seen.

Xingxing recalled that if this sudden incident had not happened, he should have been on the ship to Kaifeng at this time, and he should have seen his mother, sister and others soon. But at this time, he had to go to Beijing to face some kind of situation.

With the unknown future, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

The current civil and military chariots of the Ming Dynasty are still running quite smoothly. The military attachés are even slightly taller than the civil servants. If there had not been the later worship of civility and suppression of military affairs, and the change of Tumu Fortress, the military system of the Ming Dynasty might not have deteriorated step by step.

In the final situation, perhaps the Manchus would not take over the Central Plains. In any case, the British Duke Zhang Fu is now the weather vane among military attachés, so it is not a good idea at the moment. Moreover, Zhang Fu is impeccable both as an official and as a person.

Could it be that the consequence of his time travel is that good people will not live long?

Although it was an urgent matter, but because Mrs. Wang was worried, Zhang Yue still brought two girls, Hu Huoqiuhen, Liansheng Lianhu and Gao Quan, as well as Peng Shisan and three British princes.

Housekeeper. Since this master rarely goes on the deck, others dare not make mistakes, especially Gao Quan, who is bored in the cabin all day long. He is the steward and has a small cabin to himself.

Lighting an oil lamp, he was writing calculations on a piece of paper, and finally rubbed his temples tiredly.

Although it was said that the two thousand taels of gold were used for the last incident of the eldest master Zhang Xin, in fact, the British prince Zhang Fu was there, and most of the money was spit out by the subordinates afterwards. Only Zhang Fu advanced three taels of gold at that time.

But he refused to take back the hundred taels no matter what. At first, he sold several properties in Nanjing on the order of the old lady. Others thought it was auspicious sign and the Zhang family's vitality was greatly damaged, but they didn't know that this was exactly what the family wanted others to see. Now.

When the capital was to be moved, there was Zhang Zhuo, the third master, on the other side of Nanjing. He should be able to take advantage of the situation and bring in more fields. He originally planned to go to Beijing to add two more farms, but who knew that this trip was actually for the British common land disease.
