Chapter 116 Choosing Generals
Zhang Guoji planned to take his son's secret letter to the Queen Mother tomorrow to complain. But at this moment, a young boy hurried to the study. Zhang Guoji let him in, and then asked: "Zhang Xi, what's the matter?"
"Sir, it's Liu Su, Kang Yuan and the others who are back." Zhang Xi, the boy, replied.
"Aren't they following CITIC in Hangzhou? Why did they come back suddenly?" Zhang Guoji asked casually.
"Little Shicai also asked. They said something happened to the young master. Are you anxious to see him now?" the boy replied.
"Something happened to Zhongxin?" Zhang Zhongxin took a breath, "Why don't you tell them to come see me quickly."
"Yes, sir."
Zhang Xi hurriedly ran out of the study. After a while, two men followed him to the study. Both of them were tired from work and looked tired. They were obviously in a hurry and didn't get much rest.
As soon as he saw the two of them entering, Zhang Guoji immediately asked: "Why are you back? Why didn't the young master come back with you? What happened?"
"To tell you what, Master, something big happened... Young Master, Young Master, he... is dead..." the man named Liu Su stammered.
"What did you say?" After hearing this, Zhang Guoji almost fell over from his chair.
"Master, Master...Master, he is dead..." Liu Su repeated with difficulty.
"Gah..." After making sure that he heard correctly, Zhang Guoji couldn't hold on any longer and fainted immediately. He was only such a son. Fortunately, he already had a grandson. He was not meant to continue the family lineage, but the white-haired man gave it away.
How many people can bear the pain of the black-haired man?
"Sir..." Seeing Zhang Guoji fainted, Zhang Xi and Liu Su were startled, and hurried to Zhang Guoji's side, either beating his back, caressing his chest or pinching Ren Zhong.
After a while, Zhang Guoji finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he couldn't help shouting, "My son..." followed by tears streaming down his face.
"Sir..." The three of them wanted to persuade Zhang Guoji and say some words of condolences, but when the words came to their lips, no one dared to speak. They could only stand by and watch the father-in-law shed tears.
Zhang Guoji cried for a long time, and his tears finally stopped. He asked vigorously: "How did Zhongxin... die..."
"Young Master...Young Master was assassinated in Hangzhou..." Liu Su said carefully.
"Assassinated...who is the assassin?" Zhang Guoji asked through gritted teeth.
"This..." When Liu Su said this, he was obviously hesitant.
"Who is it?" Zhang Guoji shouted angrily when Liu Su didn't say anything.
"The assassin was not caught...but...according to the signs from the president...it is very likely...Yue Su did it..." Liu Su said carefully.
"Yue Su is Yue Su again." Zhang Guoji gritted his steel teeth so hard that he almost broke his own teeth. "What evidence is there to prove that it was Yue Su who did it?"
"Although there is no concrete evidence, the young master did not have any enemies in Zhejiang at that time... This time he went incognito, and no one knew about it. After the young master arrived in Zhejiang, he went to Huzhou first, and later he went with Mr. Hong.
I went to Hangzhou and tried my best to investigate Yue Su's criminal evidence. As a result, I found out a lot of news about Yue Su's desire to rebel. Sir, if you think about it, as Yue Su is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the entire Hangzhou must be his territory. Let's inquire there.
There is no guarantee that his affairs will not be heard by him. With his strength and following the clues, it will certainly not be difficult to find the young master. This is the first time for the young master to go to Jiangnan. It is inevitable that he will not be accustomed to the acclimatization. In addition, he has to work hard.
It was inevitable that the body couldn't bear it. So Mr. Hong suggested that he take the young master to see the doctor Li Huichun in Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, after entering the clinic of Huichun Hall, assassins suddenly appeared and killed the young master, Mr. Hong and the doctor Li. At that time, I was waiting
Not there, but guarding the luggage at the inn. Although I was not there to see it with my own eyes, the news of the young master's assassination has already spread throughout the streets. If you ask around, you will know. The reason why we came back is also certain that it was Yue Su.
, because there is one more thing that makes us suspicious." When Liu Su started to speak, he still stuttered a bit, but the further he spoke, the clearer the logic became.
"Is there anything else? Hurry up and say it quickly, don't wait any longer." Zhang Guoji urged with great displeasure.
"Yes, sir. Here's what happened. The young master left us at the inn to guard our luggage. We were also accompanied by several followers from the Li family. Since there was nothing to do, we ordered some food and drinks and ate and drank while waiting for the young master.
Back. Unexpectedly, about half an hour after the young master left, a follower of the Li Mansion came back in panic to report that the young master and their masters had all been stabbed to death, and asked other followers of the Li Mansion to hurry up.
Return to Huzhou to inform my family. When I heard this, I was shocked. Where could I find a place to sit? Without asking in detail, I hurried to the Huichun Hall. We didn’t know where the Huichun Hall was. There were many places along the way.
After making some inquiries, I found the place. But when I arrived, I heard from people in the Huichun Hall that Yue Su had already brought people here, and took away the bodies of the young master and Master Li, and also took away the people who followed the young master in our house.
And captured him. So we planned to go to the governor's residence in Yue Su to inquire about the news, but the route was unfamiliar and delayed a lot of time. But it was because of this that we were able to escape back to Beijing. As soon as we arrived on the street of the governor's residence,
I saw a group of officers and soldiers coming out of the camp. The leader was asking the people on the street where the inn where we were staying was. I happened to hear his question and immediately realized that something was wrong, so I didn't
We immediately went to the camp to ask questions, but turned around and hurried back to the inn to see what the officers and soldiers were up to. Only when we sneaked back to the inn did we realize that they were here to arrest us. At that moment, the few of us began to study whether we should
We then went to the governor's residence of Yue Su to inquire about the news, and finally agreed that it would be better to return to Beijing to report the news. At that time, we thought so. Since Yue Su had brought the people who were with the young master back to the residence, there was something we should inquire about.
, you can find out from their mouths why they are still here to arrest us. Even if they are reporting to us, they should not send out so many officers and soldiers. The only explanation is that they want to take us back. What is the purpose of this?
Obviously they don’t want us to return to Beijing to report to the master. Then he will write a memorial to the court, and he will say whatever he wants."
When Liu Su finished speaking, Zhang Guoji nodded and said: "You are right, Yue Su must have this purpose. You Yue Su..." Zhang Guoji gritted his teeth and said in an angry voice: "You
Are you really planning to rebel... The revenge for killing your son... I must make you pay for it with blood..."
Having said this, he glanced at Liu Su and Zhang Xi and asked, "Who else knows about this?"
"The brothers who came back with us also know that they are waiting outside the study." Liu Su replied.
"Don't mention this matter to anyone, so as not to leak out and let Yue Su's gang members know about it. I will go to see Madam right away, and then I will go into the palace to meet the Queen Mother. You just wait in this courtyard and are not allowed to move around casually.
" Zhang Guoji ordered.
"Yes, sir."......
Zhang Guoji immediately left the study and went to the backyard to see Mrs. Taikang. After seeing his wife, he told her about the death of his son. Mrs. Taikang had the same reaction as her husband and fainted on the spot. Zhang Guoji hurriedly and the maid took the old lady to
After waking up, the old lady began to cry and wipe her tears. After Zhang Guoji persuaded her for a long time, he temporarily stopped her tears, then retreated and assassinated her son. Everything Liu Su said was true.
Relay it to her.
As soon as Mrs. Taikang heard that her son was killed by Yue Su, her eyes immediately turned red. With tears in her eyes, she cursed loudly: "You Yue Su, you are really bullying others. What happened in the past, I
The Zhang family can just cry and swallow, but this time you have gone too far and dared to murder my son. Even if I risk my life, I will let you pay for my son's life."
"Madam, my son sent a secret letter about Yue Su's intention to rebel. It was just delivered today. Unexpectedly, the bad news also came. It seems that Yue Su definitely wants to rebel. Let's not delay it and enter the palace now.
When I see my daughter, tell her what happened and ask her to kill Yue Su's whole family. If it's too late to avenge my son, I will easily be beaten by Yue Su," Zhang Guoji said.
"That's right... that's right..." The old lady cried and said, "Let's enter the palace now and ask someone to prepare the sedan chair."
In the past few days, Zhang Yan has been very tired. The main reason is the war in the northwest. The rogue bandits surrendered and then rebelled, and they rebelled and surrendered again. And every time they surrendered and then rebelled, local soldiers and horses would suffer heavy losses. Details of the northwest's request for reinforcements
There were news about the defeat and pay discounts almost every day, which made Zhang Yan have trouble sleeping and eating, for fear of losing the empire left by her husband. As a result, Queen Elizabeth was in the prime of her life.
, it seems a bit vicissitudes of life.
Zhang Yan also didn't know how to mobilize troops and generals, but it was precisely because she didn't understand that she didn't give random orders. Instead, she handed over the task to the cabinet and let the cabinet complete it. However, due to the struggle for power between the two parties in the cabinet, the chief minister Zhou Daodeng could not control the situation.
, so it is becoming more and more chaotic. The matter of deploying troops and generals is usually discussed for a whole day, and there is still no agreement. On the Yue Party side, the current right-wing political party is elected to rectify the three prefectures of Daiming, Guangping and Shunde.
Lu Xiangsheng, who was well prepared, led his army into Shaanxi to help. Lu Xiangsheng's troops were called "Tianxiong Army" and had a certain fighting capacity. At that time, the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang did not approve of the people recommended by the Yue Party.
, they also recommended an official, Sun Chuanting, who is currently the prefect of Baoding. Sun Chuanting had never had any experience in leading troops. How the officials of the three parties in Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang discovered this fierce man is really confusing.
Going to Shaanxi for reinforcements doesn't seem like a good thing, but the position he fills in Shaanxi is not a small one. It is the post of Shaanxi manager. How can such a big official be given away to many parties casually? They have been unable to come up with the final result.
