Chapter 266 The first assistant returns to Beijing
"The old man on the road of the Pavilion is exhausted, and he will also go home. The old man Ansui will set up an apartment in the palace tomorrow, and the old man on the Pavilion will welcome you."
"I am afraid, I thank Your Majesty for giving you a feast."
Outside the capital city, all officials gathered, and the eunuch Zhang Hong, who was in charge of the Silijian, welcomed Zhang Juzheng on behalf of the emperor. Such a glory was rare in the Ming Dynasty.
After a series of etiquettes, Zhang Hong also took a little casually. Although Zhang Ju was in the outer court, he had always been a guest of the eunuchs in the inner court.
"There are Jiangling specialties here." Don't bother to be shabby."
The high-ranking eunuchs and ministers in the court had gathered here, and Zhang Juzheng asked his servants to bring a plate without hesitation. It was the first taboo to make friends with foreign ministers in the inner court.
However, this taboo is in name only and everyone is doing it. Zhang Juzheng's move seems to be open and upright, and no one can say anything behind his back.
"Ge Zhang, you are polite. Our family is just suffering with an old face!"
If this white jade child had a shabby pillow, there would probably be no wealth in the world. Zhang Hong smiled and said to Zhang Juzheng:
"Old Zhang Ge, our family will return to the palace to report your life. You will rest when you go home and enter the palace tomorrow!"
Zhang Juzheng bowed to the courtesy. As soon as Zhang Hong left, several major officials from the cabinet came over, and several ministers of the Shangshu and the Du Yu envoys who had not entered the cabinet were squeezed outside.
Seeing these top people in the world bowing and greetings to me and expressing their compliment in various ways, Zhang Juzheng felt it was very ordinary. This was a matter of course.
"Governmental affairs are important. There are still many things to talk about tomorrow's meeting. You can go back first. I am a little tired."
This is the order to expel the guests. Everyone's smiles remained unabated, and they said goodbye after saying goodbye. Zhang Juzheng, with You Qi, helped him get off the carriage.
As soon as the carriage entered the city, someone from outside reported:
"The commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Liu Shouyou and Lord Liu are here."
Zhang Ju was in the carriage without saying anything, but just leaned against the window next to him. Liu Shouyou had already leaned over and said to the window where the curtains were hung:
"Gei Master, the news from the past two days has not been spread to you, but there is no major event. I inform you that a Qingke from Lord Shen's sect was driven out. The news from the people in their mansion was that the Qingke and a female musician in the mansion had a connection."
Zhang Juzheng frowned in the carriage and said dissatisfiedly: "
"Gei Master, Lord Shen and his wife are extremely loving. Several female musicians are said to have worshipped him as their adoptive father in private, and this Qingke's reputation is also very good. If there is really something to do, wouldn't it be better to marry him?"
The commander of the Jinyiwei explained a few more words. Zhang Juzheng patted off the wall of the carriage with his hand and said coldly:
"A trivial matter is useless, say something else!"
"It's my subordinate Meng Lang. Yesterday, His Majesty mentioned the matter of gold, flowers and silver at the court meeting. He also went to Eunuch Feng to explore the situation. This matter seemed to be His Majesty's own idea."
Zhang Juzheng just said "yes" inside, and Liu Shouyou didn't know whether the news was right or wrong. After being nervous for a while, he said again:
"Pan Da and the general Li Dameng in Tianjin Acropolis. Gao, the Qing army's magistrate, jointly wrote a memorial to impeach the Jinyi personal army, Qianhu Wang Tong, in Tianjin, acted recklessly, received the people, levy and slaughtered innocent people, and other crimes. It is said that the people from the Transport Department of the Ministry of Revenue and the father-in-law who sent to Tianjin to supervise grain in the palace, also handed over the documents to their respective superiors."
After saying this, Zhang Juzheng fell silent. Liu Shouyou rode his horse outside the carriage for a while, and finally couldn't help but whisper:
"The Master of the Pavilion and the Censors of the Department have all started to move. Now there are several adults from the Censorate. It is estimated that in just a few days, Wang Tong is under the jurisdiction of his subordinates after all, so he must be involved in his subordinates. He will ask the Master of the Pavilion to take care of him at that time."
"knew."
Zhang Ju agreed faintly in the carriage. When the carriage arrived at the door, Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, had nothing to report, and said in a low voice outside:
"Ge Lao has been working hard all the way, so let's have a good rest. I'll come back tomorrow."
"Shouyou, there are many academies in various provinces. Arrange your subordinates to check the numbers and check them out, and do it before the Mid-Autumn Festival. When Liu Shouyou was about to leave, Zhang Juzheng said this later. Although Liu Shouyou didn't know why Zhang Juzheng wanted to investigate, he still accepted the orders assigned.
Zhang Juzheng walked off the carriage, and the left-behind people in the mansion naturally came out to greet each other, which was another lively event.
Along the way, Zhang Juzheng was either an official boat or a sedan chair, so naturally he couldn't say he was tired. After returning home, he went straight to the study room, and naturally, someone who was in person served him sent the message to him.
Not long after, someone informed me that "Feng Youning is here to pay homage". Since Zhang Hong, the eunuch in the ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual ritual qualities.
However, when Feng Bao sent his nephew Feng Youning to come, it was not rude. After entering the house and kowtowed, Feng Youning said:
"The amount of gold, flowers and silver increased. The uncle and Zhang Cheng and the elder brother-in-law Zhang Xinyi thought about waiting for the cabinet leader to chew. "I will tell Your Majesty that I will only blow the wind in advance. The amount of 300,000 taels will remain unchanged. Who knows that the Lord Long Live has an idea and will increase one million taels."
Sending someone to explain this matter was actually to express his attitude to Zhang Juzheng. This matter was not an instigation of the eunuchs in the inner court. After all, there will always be benefits in the palace." "The court knew that Li Dameng was not Lao Qi's person. So he put him in Tianjin as a genius general, otherwise he would not be relieved."
Yu Dayu suddenly said this to Wang Tong for some reason. There were nearly 200,000 soldiers in Ji Town, and Qi Jiguang was also a famous general who was proficient in military tactics and was good at training. If the central place of food and grass supply could not be controlled by him, he would have to arrange a person to guard him, but Qi Jiguang could not arrange this person.
If Jizhen can completely control Tianjin, it is equivalent to being able to provide food and grass for oneself. If there is a slight distortion, it may be an uncontrollable situation. This is also a method of power struggle between the two major and the two major parties.
However, since he is such a person, if Wang Tong wants to fight, the court may not touch him easily.
That day, the archer killed Wang Tong in a humble alley. Afterwards, he could guess who was in charge, but he could not move him for a while. There were reasons inside and outside, and Wang Tong understood in his heart. But Yu Dayu was afraid that he would not understand this joint, so he also pointed out.
"When I understand that everything is not ready, this matter will not be spread. I will only do everything without life."
Wang Tong sat opposite Yu Dazhu, stood up and thanked him first. Then he said his plans in a deep voice. Yu Dazhu picked up the thick porcelain teapot and drank it, and said with a smile:
"If you really want to do anything, you can use your backstage relationship in the capital, why do you have to work behind closed doors here? Wang Tong, the old man, has fought for so many years, and has been fighting against the south and north. This cannon is a good thing to attack the city and block the city. The next one is useless."
"Sir, the workshop is ready, please go over and check it out.
After hearing the greeting outside, Wang Tong stood up and held his fists, bowed and said:
"Mr. Yu, I'll go there to test the cannon here. The new recruit training camp does not care about the labor of the soldiers. I also ask Lord Yu to help train and use the soldiers. I'm very troubled."
Yu Dayu waved his hand impatiently and said:
"I have a husband to keep an eye on you. The people from the Third Battalion swept around every day. There will be no more puppies coming out to bite people. It is also a good opportunity to train troops."
Wang Tong clasped his fists again and turned around and strode out.
Outside the door of the house, General Tan and others were waiting there. After passing through the alley, Wang Tong had more than fifty cavalry guards entourages every time he entered and left the city.
Three generals of the Tan family died, but there was no sad look on their faces, but they were much quieter than usual. When they saw Wang Tong going out, everyone bowed, which was considered a greeting.
Wang Tong walked in front, and General Tan followed. Wang Tong slowed down and whispered:
"When the matter is resolved, your three brothers will be buried in a grand manner. Now the news is going to be suppressed. Your brothers have to endure it. I owe you what I owe."
Hearing Wang Tong say this, Tan shook his body and bowed and replied in a low voice:
"The young people have been dancing swords and swords for so many years. They dare not expect a good death. If the master said this, they did not die in vain. They went downstairs to see the old man. It can also be said that their family has not let down the old man's entrustment."
Although he said it appropriately, at the end of the conversation, General Tan's voice was still a little confused. Wang Tong walked forward and continued:
"Each family has a pension of 1,000 taels. I will support these three families in the future. The old ones will support them. If the young ones want to study and learn martial arts, they will start a family and start a career in the future. I will pay for it."
People are not afraid of death, but they are worried about their wives, children and parents. Wang Tongchuang said this, and General Tan also left a lot of thoughts, but everyone was depressed.
The Blacksmith Workshop is on the north side of the recruits' camp, and there are also barren beaches that cannot grow grass here are farther from the canal and the city. No one in Wang Tong circled it and said nothing.
Although it is a workshop, it occupies a large area. The real iron furnace mainly occupies the territory required for test guns.
Three cannons were placed there, and a simple fort was built with civil engineering below. Dozens of soldiers were busy there, but a general from the Tan family demonstrated a professor there, and it was also dark under the light. Wang Tong thought about going to Qi Jiguang to ask for a firearm to teach, but he didn't expect that someone from the Tan family would understand.
This general followed him in a series of trials of cannons. He blamed his name for not having the word cannon, but instead he was called Tan Huo.
Wang Tong frowned and walked up to him. Everyone was dodging the salute. Wang Tong looked back and forth several times, then turned around and asked a few craftsmen and said:
"Is this a cannon?"
"Sir, that's it."
"Aren't there an iron wheel under the cannon? You can walk with a horse and run."
