Haizhou Guard Commander Pu Yuanyi's urgent warning reached Liaoyang, and two sealed letters were sent to Liaodong Fuyuan and Jianyuan.
The Fu Yuan is the governor's yamen, while the Supervisory Yuan is obviously not the Metropolitan Inspector's Yuan. The Metropolitan Inspector's Yuan, including the yamen that oversees the censors, is called the Inspector's Yuan, while the Supervisory Yuan is the yamen that guards the eunuchs.
The Liaodong Fuyuan is quite impressive, but it is only impressive, and the decoration is not exquisite. The screen walls are made of ordinary materials, and there are not even a few flowers in the small flower garden. Overall, compared to the soldiers in Gaizhou,
Xianyamen is also larger in scale.
Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, had just been woken up by his servants, and he came to the flower hall to wait. He was now drinking a cup of strong tea.
Judging from his deep frown, Zhou Futai was obviously in a bad mood, so the servants all stayed away. There was only one housekeeper at the door, who was yawning silently with his mouth open.
Not long after, a servant brought in a man with a lantern. The man was thin and not tall. He appeared to be in a hurry, with his head lowered and his hands behind his back.
As soon as the housekeeper saw the man, he immediately turned around and knocked gently on the door, saying, "Master, Guard Han is here."
Zhou Yong said a simple word "um" from inside, and then there was the sound of the chair being pushed slightly. It seemed that Zhou Yong got up from behind the desk and pushed the chair back.
The door opened, and Zhou Yong appeared with a sullen face. The thin little man revealed his true appearance. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a white face and no beard. When he saw Zhou Yong, he cupped his hands and said, "Zhou Junmen came to our house.
But for the matter of Liaonan?"
The governor had many nicknames, such as Futai, Fujun, Junmen, Zhongcheng, Si Xian, Du Xian, etc., but he called Zhou Yong Junmen as soon as he opened his mouth, which obviously meant something.
Zhou Yong returned the salute with his hands raised, nodded and said: "Guardian Han, it's very rude for me to invite you to the courtyard at night, so please guard Haihan... This is not the place to talk. Guard, please come in, we can talk inside."
The two entered the flower hall, and the butler naturally went to serve tea first. Once the etiquette was completed, the butler went out to guard, and Zhou Yongcai sighed and said, "The guard has also received an urgent report from Haizhou?"
Han Guang nodded solemnly and said: "A hundred households came to deliver a message in person, saying that the Tumen and Chaohua Allied Forces, with more than 20,000 cavalry, suddenly went south and have arrived north of the Liao River, across the river from Dongchang Fort."
Zhou Yong nodded, but just had a sullen face and did not speak immediately.
Han Guang frowned and said, "The army doesn't seem to be in a hurry? Could it be that we already have a plan in mind?"
"To be fair to the guards, no." Zhou Yong gently shook his head.
Han Guang's expression changed slightly and his eyes flickered: "The governor of Liaodong, the military gate, is in charge of military affairs. If anything happens in southern Liaoning, the trouble for the military gate will be much bigger than ours."
"That's natural." Zhou Yong smiled instead and said: "Whatever happens in Liaonan actually has little to do with Guard Han. Unless something happens to Gao Qiuzhen, Guard Han can... It's hard to explain.
"
Han Guang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Don't tell secret words in front of Mingren. If something happens to Gao Longwen, I'm afraid Han won't be able to let it go with just an easy explanation. But then again, if something happens to Gao Longwen,
I’m afraid it’s really difficult for you to explain to the military sect, right?”
Zhou Yong laughed, waved his hand, and said: "Gao, Guo Ergong, has been my favored minister for two generations, and Zhang Gongfengpan, the current Yuanfu, is my room master... Naturally, I can't let anything happen to Qiuzhen. On this point, Han Zhenshou
There is no need to have the slightest doubt.”
Zhou Yong was on the gold list in the 41st year of Jiajing reign. At that time, he originally did just fine in the imperial examination, ranking 184th, but he did not do well in the court examination, and finally ranked 57th among the top three Jinshis, with a perfect score.
The examiner of his paper was Zhang Siwei, one of the examiners at the time.
In the 41st year of Jiajing's reign, the Renxu Academy Gold List was the one where Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Yu Youding were the top three. The examiner at that time was Yuan Wei, a great scholar, and there were two people who were appointed officials. The official was Yan, the Minister of Rites.
Na, the deputy is the servant Gao Gong.
The lineup of fellow examiners below him was also very strong, such as Wang Xilie and Zhang Siwei who were editors of the Hanlin Academy at the time, Ma Ziqiang who was a reviewer of the Hanlin Academy at the time, and Feng Menglong who was Du Geizhong at the time.
And Zhou Yong's room master happens to be Zhang Siwei, so if we round the corner, Zhou Yong can barely call Gao Jingshi "senior brother", and Gao Yong can barely call Zhou Yong "senior brother".
By the way, as an aside, in the original history, as soon as Zhang Siwei was defeated by Ding You, Zhou Yong was immediately impeached and removed from his post as governor of Jiliao. This also shows the relationship between the two and Zhou Yong's faction.
As for Zhou Yong saying that Gao and Guo Ergong were his benefactors, there is no need to explain this. Gao Gong himself was the official in his department, so he could just call him "teacher". Moreover, his official career went smoothly, and he and he
Gao Gong and Guo Pu were both members of the township party. Of course, this was secondary in the early days. What was more important was that he was a student of Zhang Siwei.
Since he is Zhang Siwei's protégé, and Zhang Siwei's nephew is now in southern Liaoning, how dare he, Zhou Yong, to make the situation in southern Liaoning become uncontrollable and trap this crooked "brother"?
Therefore, when he said this, Han Guang's expression became much better, and he nodded and said: "It would be great if Junmen can figure out the relationship. To be honest with Junmen, our family doesn't understand the war.
, our family only knows that Gao Longwen is in the heart of the emperor, that’s it!”
As he spoke, he stretched out his right thumb and made a strong gesture.
Then he said calmly: "So, if anyone dares not to pay attention to Gao Longwen's issue, regardless of whether he is the deputy commander or an uncle, our family believes that he will not last long."
This is interesting. Father-in-law, which deputy commander and uncle are you talking about?
However, Zhou Yong just smiled and changed the subject, saying: "The Four Guards in Southern Liaoning have quite a lot of troops, but they are scattered too widely, and the number of actual personnel is difficult to predict...
"
Han Guang waved his hands and said: "We don't ask about these things. We just want to know whether Liaoyang can send reinforcements. If so, how many can be sent? Who will lead the troops and when can they be sent?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is a bit rude and seems to mean something like "I don't care about those things, I will do whatever I want".
However, Zhou Yong can also understand Han Guang's anxiety. After all, Han Guang is backed by Chen Ju, and Chen Ju... is one of Gao Jingshi's right-hand men in the palace. If Gao Jingshi makes a mistake, Chen Ju can directly
It wouldn't be surprising to call Han Guang back and then find a reason to kill him with a stick.
The "level difference" among eunuchs is even stricter than that of civil servants and military generals. For example, Han Guang was very popular in Liaodong, but if he met Chen Ju, he had to kowtow respectfully and call him godfather.
This "godfather" is no different from the godfathers of later generations. In the Ming Dynasty, filial piety was highly respected, and a father could almost be said to have the power of life and death over his son.
When Zhang Wenming was doing mischief in his hometown, Zhang Juzheng received accusations from countless fellow officials, so he could only reply with a bunch of nonsense, and then said with extreme helplessness... I really can't help it, he is my father.
There is a similar custom in the inner court. When you become a godfather, you have to treat the godfather as your biological father. If he is unhappy, he will scold you and hit you.
The godson can only suffer, and even the emperor will not care about this.
Therefore, Zhou Yong was not angry because of Han Guang's words. He just said calmly: "Guard Han, don't be anxious. The headquarters invites you here just to send troops to help... If I am alone, I will order Qin Deyi to send troops south."
, although he does not dare to disobey orders, he may push back and delay, but with the guards coming at the same time, he must not dare to do so."
Han Guang nodded and said: "This is easy to handle. As long as it is to send troops as soon as possible, Qin Deyi will naturally have a way to make him obedient."
