Xu Renzhi and Jiang Wan were the only two people left in the room. Xu Renzhi glanced outside the door and saw a few soldiers standing outside. He thought no one would break in rashly.
"That old traitor Zu Dashou says nothing. Your Majesty will definitely not believe him!"
Xu Renzhi thought for a while: "When Yuan Chonghuan died, he fled back to Liaodong. At that time, many people in Beijing felt that this man had rebellious intentions. Later, Sun Shangshu spent a lot of effort to appease him. What was the result?
After suffering a defeat, he immediately surrendered to the Tatars!"
"If such a person comes back, he will die!"
"Returning to the Ming Dynasty does not necessarily mean returning to the capital!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "My ancestor's family was originally a wealthy family in Liaodong. His ancestor Dashou had soldiers in his hands, so he stayed in Liaodong. Could it be that Your Majesty would take the initiative to send troops to suppress an army that returned to our Ming Dynasty?
General, wouldn't that tell the world that your Majesty has no tolerance for others?"
"Ah!" Xu Renzhi was stunned, this was not out of his consideration.
"If it were me, as long as the Ming Dynasty promised me to come back, take the Guan Ning iron cavalry and horses that I participated in, and occupy a place, I would soon become a force. By then, everyone would be able to fight between the Ming Dynasty and the Tartars.
Wouldn't it be better if I don't offend and no one wants to use me?"
"The Tartars won't let him go, if he really wants to change things anyway!" Xu Renzhi couldn't believe this: "Don't the Tartars feel that they have been teased by them, so they raise an army to destroy them in anger?
"
"hehe!"
"Now that he is back, it is the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty. He asked the imperial court for help. Can the imperial soldiers and horses save him?" Jiang Wan said: "If you don't save him, then you will give evidence to the world. Your Majesty cannot tolerate people, so save him."
If so, how could he be destroyed so easily? Besides, even if the court is not willing to waste money and money on him anymore, he can't hold his own place, so he has to retreat to a place. He doesn't dare to go inside the pass, but outside the pass,
Where can’t he go?”
"In other words, it may not be a good thing for him to come back!" Xu Renzhi understood somewhat: "In that case, just don't let him come back. Didn't his son come back with such words and pass the news to Tatar?
Why don't we just let the Tartars take care of him? It would be easier to kill a surrendered general who has second thoughts!"
"There is no proof, just a mouthful?" Jiang Wan squinted at Xu Renzhi: "They may have thought about it a long time ago. As long as we do this, it will be our counterintuitive plan. Maybe it has been laid for a long time.
If you go over there, they won’t believe it either!”
"Then what should we do?" Xu Renzhi was at a loss: "This won't work, that won't work either, brother-in-law, I really don't know how to view this matter!"
"Talented and handsome, haha!"
Jiang Wan looked at Xu Renzhi with a half-smile, which made Xu Renzhi's face feel hot.
"When you return to Beijing, stop teasing my son!" Jiang Wan said, "I'm afraid that your 'talent' will be transmitted to my son and turn him into a stupid boy!"
Xu Renzhi rolled his eyes and didn't even want to defend himself.
Anyway, this kind of intrigue is not a scandal if you don't understand it. This shows that Xu Ergong is innocent and open-minded. Jiang Wan, who was born as a scholar and then led the army, is full of conspiracy and conspiracy.
To plot against others is to worry about being plotted against by others.
"You can report everything you saw here to His Majesty word for word!" Jiang Wan thought for a while: "There is no need to hide anything for me, His Majesty will definitely ask you after you return to Beijing!"
"Really!?" Xu Renzhi said.
"Of course, no matter what decision your Majesty makes, after you report it, he will naturally stop doing your business!" Jiang Wan said: "As for the following matters, you don't have to worry about it. You can stay here for a few days and get out. There will be no more.
Don't let the matter come to Liaodong. If your father doesn't feel sorry for your son, I still feel sorry for you for your sister. There are so many water bandits and bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. If you want to gain experience in the army, there are plenty of places to go!"
Xu Renzhi flattened his mouth and responded without refuting.
Although Jiang Wan's words were rude, Xu Renzhi could still tell the difference. His brother-in-law not only didn't pull him into the water, but also pushed him to the shore desperately. He needed to understand this!
And half a month later, when he was summoned by the emperor again in the Yangxin Palace, the emperor's reaction also proved that Jiang Wan's arrangement was not in vain.
As expected, Zhu Youjian asked him carefully about the details of his visit to Dongjiang Town, and Xu Renzhi also poured beans through a bamboo tube and explained everything clearly and without reservation.
After he finished speaking, he clearly saw the emperor, who was about the same age as him, and his expression became darker.
There was no reply, and after a few words of praise and encouragement, the internal officer sent him out. When he left the hall, Xu Renzhi was blown by the cool breeze, and then he realized that his back was chilly. In just a moment, he
My whole back was soaked with sweat.
The emperor's majesty is becoming more and more important!
And when he returned home, he didn't dare to hide this matter from the emperor. He almost repeated what he said to the emperor in the Yangxin Palace to his father Dingguo Gong again.
.
"Dad, when you talk about this matter, Jiang Wan is a little too confident. After all, His Majesty just hinted that he directly left Zu Dashou's son in Zhenjiang Fort. If he is impeached, he can't say anything about this matter.
It’s clear!”
"What do you know!" Duke Dingguo snorted softly: "Your Majesty is using your mouth to hint Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan is also using your mouth to tell Your Majesty. He means that whether it is war or peace, he will always listen.
Your Majesty, is he showing his loyalty to Your Majesty?"
"Ah, I didn't see it!" Xu Renzhi was stunned for a moment.
"Never say you are talented in front of others in the future!" Duke Dingguo glared at him: "It's good for you to continue to be the second son of Xu who doesn't do his job properly. Our Xu family can produce a playboy, but we must not produce another.
Stupid official!"
Xu Renzhi felt that he was very wronged, and his mouth involuntarily became flat.
"Interesting, interesting!" Duke Dingguo murmured to himself, "It seems that Caining still has a vision. This Jiang Wan does things much more appropriately than I thought!"
"Dad, how did he show his loyalty to His Majesty? Can't you explain it to the child?" Xu Renzhi couldn't help but say.
"It doesn't matter what Zu Dashou wants. What's important is that Jiang Wan told Your Majesty through you that Jiang Wan can be of the same mind as Your Majesty, whether it's war or peace. However, Your Majesty now, I'm afraid you won't trust a minister so easily.
, I estimate that your majesty will soon give it a try to see if Jiang Wan is as loyal as he commands!"
"You, Jiang Wan is right, Liaodong is too dangerous, you can't go there; Beijing is too complicated, you don't have enough brains, and you can't mess with it. If you find an opportunity, you can go to Jiangnan to suppress the bandits. Now
Even your father can’t control the situation, let alone a stupid boy like you!”
"father……"
"That's it!" Duke Dingguo looked at his son coldly: "Have you met your sister when you came back?"
"Not yet. Aren't we in a hurry to tell you about this?"
"Don't go!" Duke Dingguo said leisurely: "You are not allowed to come near my grandson from now on..."
