Chapter 515 Rumors continue, accomplices must be guarded against

Since Wu'an Marquis Zheng Heng took office as the new official, even though the entire Xuanfu City was in a state of shock due to the emperor's order to cut him in half, the General Military Mansion was still not in any disorder. At noon, people hurried up and down to finish their lunch.

I started preparing for the afternoon parade in the teaching field. No one had time to think about the noon hour.

The sharp guillotine at Sanqi. Lu Feng came to invite Meng Jun and Zhang Yue to watch the execution at the execution ground, but they both politely declined. After all, after Zhang Yue was imprisoned in Qingzhou last time, he no longer wants to visit the execution ground.

This is a place; Meng Jun has no grudges against someone, and there is no need to go to the execution ground to show off his power.

However, when the sound of cannons at the execution ground came at 3:00 noon, Zhang Yue, who was talking to Zheng Heng in the second hall of the General Military Mansion, heard that someone was looking for him. He had no acquaintances in Xuan Mansion and was very puzzled. Waiting for the soldier

He explained in a low voice that it was Wang Xiang, the son of Commander Wang Huan, and he suddenly understood. Zheng Heng nodded considerately.

"The emperor gave Wang Huan's son Yanshan Left Guard Commander Shiguan, and his body was transported directly back to Datong. Although we all sent him some rituals together, and you also counted a share, after all, he didn't go to the mourning hall.

Pay homage. Since it is his surviving family members who have come to see you, you should go and see him and comfort them."

This was the right thing to do, so Zhang Yue naturally agreed. After leaving the second hall, he walked along the Zhongzhong Avenue and out of the second door. He went to the flower hall from a side path. When he opened the door curtain and went in, he saw a man wearing a cut-off three-year-old uniform.

A young man in his early teens. The man's face resembled Wang Huan's, but he was a little more honest and a little less resolute. After meeting him,

Wang Xiang didn't talk much, but he said with an embarrassed face at the end: "Master Xiao Zhang, although my father died a heroic death, before he set off to Xuanfu, some people said that he was corrupt while guarding Kaiping. Now.

Although there is a posthumous gift from the emperor, I don’t want dad to go away with a bad reputation, so I ask you to make the decision for him.”

"Don't worry about this matter. I have sent someone to inform Yu Yushi who is in Kaiping. I will definitely get to the bottom of it and clear your father's name."

Hearing that Wang Xiang was asking for such a thing, Zhang Yue felt that this was an honest man who only wanted to serve his father, so he immediately agreed. Although he had only interacted with the veteran for a few days, he was convinced that the other person was anything but.

With Yu Qian presiding over the despicable person, he would not lose his justice. He sat and talked to Wang Xiang for a few more words, and then sent the person out in person. When he reached the gate, Wang Xiang suddenly turned around.

Come back.

"There is something I didn't want to say at first, but after thinking about it, I decided to tell you, Mr. Xiao Zhang. This time I escorted my father's coffin back to my hometown for burial. There were also many relatives, friends and elders who helped with travel expenses and funeral ceremonies along the way. However,

But someone told me that so many soldiers from the imperial court were in Xinghe, but my father died. The matter was really strange. I was asked to serve as the emperor.

I am a scholar, but it was by chance that I entered the martial arts path now. I can still distinguish right from wrong. Although my father has accumulated meritorious service and been promoted in this life, he often thinks about that battle when he is drunk.

Death on the battlefield can be regarded as seeking mercy and receiving mercy. I don’t know where this saying comes from, but please pay attention to it."

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me."

After seeing off Wang Xiang, Zhang Yue turned around and returned to the General Military Mansion, always feeling a little unhappy. The rumors Wang Xiang mentioned may be that a small group of jealous people are jealous of this military exploit, or they may be regretful that Wang called the veteran general to fight.

The distracting thoughts arising from death may even be used by someone to stir up trouble. But in any case, it is not very interesting to pursue such a matter that has been spread by word of mouth. It is nothing more than the fact that there is no three hundred taels of silver here.

Returning to the second hall, he heard a loud voice inside before he entered the door. It sounded like a private soldier was talking. He realized that the man was vividly describing the bloody scene of the execution ground where the crown was covered with bruises and the guillotine cut people in the waist.

He did not rush in, but first walked around the left and right signing rooms. After turning around, he happened to see Wan Shijie walking in from outside, so he went up to him.

"Yuanjie, I'm leaving this afternoon." Wanshijie bluntly stated his purpose of coming before Zhang Yue could speak, and grinned, "You are now the governor of Xuanfu and are in charge of military affairs. Even if I want to stay,

There is no reason to help you here, and besides, the Ministry of War’s Arsenal Department is missing a doctor like you, and everyone is so busy that they want to push their feet, so I can’t delay here. The thing about your success yesterday is probably

The memorial has already been submitted, right? This is indeed good news, but you have to check it carefully. If things like military rations are passed off as inferior, no matter how good you are, it will be in vain."

"You don't have to worry about this. When the military rations are weighed, not only will Marquis Wu An send his own soldiers to check it, but I will also call Eunuch Lu."

"Tsk, tsk, I knew you were a confident guy, but you just gave me your instructions in vain!" Wan Shijie stared at Zhang Yue for a while, and suddenly said sarcastically, "By the way, do you really want to send Xiao Wu back with me?

"

Zhang Yue saw his cautious look and couldn't help but give him a funny look: "Of course, where is this Xuanfu? She stays here with a girl, and I can't take care of her. If she meets someone like yesterday,

What should I do if she teases her outside? Besides, there is going to be war again, and there will probably be a lot of Tatar spies. Naturally, I am afraid that she will be in danger. In a word, how did you bring her here, and how did you bring her back. Yes.

After this incident, it will not be so difficult for you to interact with her in the future. If you can really impress her, I will ask my father to help you propose marriage after the Northern Expedition is over!"

The always sharp-tongued Wanshijie could only nod his head at this moment, and in the end he had to add: "Also, don't forget to fish out our father-in-law first."

"You really dare to say that you didn't even mention the word father-in-law on your lips!" Zhang Yue almost choked and coughed repeatedly. He replied seriously, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you.

, you should take more care of the affairs of the capital. Now that my father is back, you don’t have to worry about my family, but the Du family and Xiao Fang will be left to you. Well, in the afternoon I will go to the cathedral with Marquis Wu An to review the propaganda.

Fu Zhongwei, I probably don’t have time to see you off, so let Lao Peng take you out of the city. Later, tell Xiao Wu and me that I, my brother-in-law, don’t have time to accompany her this time, and I will apologize when I get back to the capital!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

The two have been friends for many years, and they never spoke much after they smiled at each other. Seeing the curtain of the second hall raised, but the soldier who reported the incident bent down and came out, Zhang Yue and Wan Shijie entered together. Wan Shijie was

He was from the Ministry of War. Coming to see Zheng Heng, the Marquis of Wu'an, was just a matter of spectacle. After saluting, he sat down and only said a few words before standing up to leave. Zheng Heng naturally did not stay long. As soon as the people left, he put away his smiling face. If there was any

He clasped his hands in front of his body thoughtfully.

"Lu Feng is an eunuch after all. He has a strong desire for revenge and does not know the importance of his actions. When Wang Guan was taken to the execution ground, he didn't say anything and cried out for injustice. He needed support for everything he did. He only had one breath left." Zheng Heng said softly.

He patted the armrest and immediately shook his head, "Anyway, the matter is over. His life and death is none of your business. If the other eunuchs in the palace want to use this to find trouble with him, then he will be the one who brings his own death.

No one leaves any room for him to do anything!"

There is no discrimination against the eunuch Zhang Yue - the only way to discriminate is against the perverted system. What's more, these days there are the famous Zheng He and Zhang Qian who also sailed to the West, and he has dealt with many people.

Young eunuchs are still reasonable people - but not discriminating does not mean that they are defenseless. At least he has made great efforts towards Lu Feng. He neither wants to be plotted by this ambitious eunuch, nor is he willing to let such a man established so easily.

Without friendship, a guy who could do trouble would collapse so easily. However, in front of Zheng Heng, he couldn't express his thoughts, so he responded vaguely.

Since Zheng Heng had paid close attention to practicing military discipline after taking office, Zhang Yue, who came to the training ground again after half a month, felt the completely different spirit of the soldiers. He knew that he could survive in Xinghe.

To a large extent, it was because he had a group of capable people following him and he was really lucky. Therefore, although the days he returned to Xuan Mansion were filled with awards and rewards, he never thought that he had truly become a famous general.

War matters should be left to experts. If a country relies on civilian officials to fight wars, it will be doomed!

The parade took a full hour and a half to end. Because the Marquis of Wu'an Zheng Heng praised the performance of the soldiers for the first time, all the officers in the Xuan Mansion's central guard felt quite dignified. Several thousand households even went there in person to talk to their subordinates.

The soldiers drank hot soup together to relieve the cold. By the time the whole army returned to the city, their morale was extremely high.

It was already evening when Zhang Yue and Zheng Heng returned to the General Military Mansion. Although they did not belong to each other, they were close neighbors in the past. Zheng Heng regarded Zhang Yue as a junior, so he stayed to have dinner with him. After dinner, the servants sent

After serving tea and retreating, Zhang Yue brought up another important matter - the Mongolian spies active in the Xuanfu area. Hearing this, Zheng Heng put down the tea cup casually.

"This is an old problem of the Xuanfu. Don't look at Lu Feng. Before he got the crown and hurt his feet, he was so busy that he fell over. In the end, he didn't even grab a finger. Even I, the commander-in-chief, didn't grab a few fingers when I was in office.

Due to the Great Wall, large numbers of Tatars could not come in, but there were quite a few small groups. Kaiping was originally the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Although it has been decades since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many people in the Datong area of ​​Xuanfu who lived in the past.

There is Tatar ancestry, so the spies may not necessarily be Tatars. And due to the relationship between border trade, many merchants in the Ming Dynasty have business there, and the private transactions may not be any cleaner than the crown, but because of the

At the same time, they were involved in the plot, but they couldn't catch the spy, so they caught the spy all the time, but the harvest was very little."

Zhang Yue knew very well that it only took decades or hundreds of years for the Ming Dynasty to go from being light on business and light on profits to overly heavy on business and heavy profits in the later period. In the future, the famous merchants from Shanxi and Shanxi would even be an accomplice of the Manchus entering the customs. If we can't set up strict rules now.

, then there will be no need to mention it in the future. Therefore, he was not discouraged by Zheng Heng's words, but smiled slightly.
