One hundred and seventy-ninth chapter may ask your Highness where to go (1)
Zhu Heng finally decided to speak to the King of Han, but if he didn't speak, no one would come forward again.
The world is often like a game of chess. When you reach a certain step, you don’t need to hesitate too much because you can only make this move. It’s like the end game of a chess game. The rook is forced in front of the handsome man. He has no choice but to move the handsome man to avoid it. If he insists, he must not do it.
If you go this way, you will lose everything directly, and the outcome of life and death will come faster.
Zhu Heng also faced the same move after weighing it. He had no choice. He clearly understood the situation of the upcoming civil war. Staying in Le'an would only lead to a dead end. It was a small area with no strategic depth and a large number of short-term goals.
The trained soldiers were not as effective as the veterans of the Beijing camp, their weapons were not as good as those of others, and the firearms they made themselves could not hit as far as the Shenji camp. There was no room for trouble. Even the ancient Sun Bin could not be resurrected to command this battle.
The only way was to run away. The advantage of the king of Han was very obvious. He was famous for being good at fighting. If he could avoid powerful fists, he would have more room for action.
The above are the big aspects that Zhu Heng faces. If you think about it in a small way, he and the King of Han are really in a relationship with both prosperity and loss. The retreat is only a last resort: no one knows about the other "lord" who is sent with him.
We don’t have much friendship with Zhang Ning, so how can we place all our hopes on such a person?
Accepting Zhang Ning was just a matter of considering that this person would not harm him and could provide a way out and a hope, which was better than nothing.
Therefore, Zhu Heng is absolutely unwilling to see the King of Han defeated and captured. If that happens, the people below him will also be buried with him, especially Zhu Heng, who even the important minister Yang Shiqi noticed, holds the high position of Minister of War... At present, it is a competition of force, and the Ministry of War has
The importance of Shangshu is self-evident.
...Zhu Heng's firm advice soon "resulted". In the blink of an eye, several influential people jointly exposed Zhu Heng, the Minister of War, for having an affair with the imperial court and hiding it in his house.
The whistleblower persuaded the King of Han to order a search of Zhu Heng's mansion to prevent the spy from escaping.
Fortunately, the King of Han was not a fool when it came to trivial matters. He understood that ordering a forcible search of a high-ranking official’s home would be an insult no matter what the outcome was. If such a thing really happened, how could Zhu Heng have the authority to restrain his subordinates in the future? The King of Han called him
Zhu Heng, let him explain.
Zhu Heng said: "The King of Han Mingjian, the old minister has indeed received people from outside the city recently, but they are just an old friend of the minister, invited to help the King of Han make plans."
An official in the palace asked: "Who knows what he is doing secretly and secretly?"
Zhu Heng said: "That memorandum not long ago was written by this person. I dare to ask how a spy could write such an article?"
The King of Han waved his hand and said cheerfully: "That will be easy. Of course I believe that Zhu Shangshu will not have an affair with spies, but you can convince everyone by calling people to compare the handwriting."
People who hated Zhu Heng also said that Zhu Heng would let the spies go, but the king of Han laughed and said: "Zhu Heng will not let people go. I'm afraid you just want him to let him go. In this way, he will have no excuse and the suspicion will be confirmed."
Zhu Heng said hurriedly: "The prince is wise and cannot be influenced by the villain's slander."
He immediately resigned and hurried home. He went back to the palace to find Zhang Ning in person. After a few simple courtesy, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Ping An, come with me to the palace... Someone falsely accused me of having an affair with a spy. The prince ordered me to take people there."
Confrontation."
When Old Xu Jiang Youde heard this, he immediately stood next to Zhang Ning and became nervous. Zhang Ning hurriedly motioned to the left and right and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, since the original manuscript of the message has been read by the King of Han, it is easy to clarify the facts. Even if the villain has the ability to destroy it temporarily
The evidence is that there is no three hundred taels of silver here, so there is no need for us to look for any more evidence."
Zhu Heng's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ning's performance, and he nodded slightly: "That's exactly it. Please come with me, Mr. Ping An, and you and I will go to the palace in the same car."
The two of them walked to the carriage guard surrounded by servants. Zhu Heng took Zhang Ning's hand and got into the carriage together... This action was called walking hand in hand. Zhang Ning almost didn't pull his hand back. Damn, he was full of beard.
The grown man holds your hand, and you feel an indescribable feeling, as if a little sour water is surging in your stomach. The ancients were really passionate and generous.
However, from a rational point of view, in the face of the crisis, Zhu Heng's stance towards his allies is not a bad thing. Zhang Ning gently said: "If the King of Han does not go into details, please don't say more about my details." Zhu Heng nodded.
Agree: "But I can't lie. Mr. Ping'an is a member of the officialdom. He is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If someone in the palace recognizes you, I will not be able to escape punishment for deceiving the prince."
Zhang Ning did not force anything until now, but he was thinking about the fact that the Zhang family had been arrested and there was no definite news about his execution... But once the court found out that Zhang Ning had scolded the emperor for patricide, Zhu Zhanji was extremely angry, and the Zhang family
The end can be imagined.
The palace of the King of Han is very conspicuous. It is the largest building complex and the tallest house in the small city of Le'an. Only the King of Han is qualified to live there. Zhu Heng took Zhang Ning into the palace gate surrounded by guards and walked for a while to the main hall. He saw that the palace was divided into two sides: civil and military.
Standing there, there is a tall man in yellow robe standing tall and imposing.
But Zhang Ning could not be frightened by this battle. Not to mention his experience in two generations, even in the Ming Dynasty, he had been in the palace hall and had seen some things in the world.
People were writing under the eaves instead of eating. Facing the prince with an extraordinary status in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ning kowtowed without any pressure and said loudly: "Common people kowtow to the prince."
Zhu Gaoxu was obviously a happy person. He didn't say much nonsense and said directly: "Here, come to the four treasures of the study room. Take out the memorandum and let him copy a paragraph on the spot."
Zhang Ning cupped his fists and said, "Why bother? I can just write it down silently."
"Ha!" Zhu Gaoxu, aloof and aloof, was amused, "Look, everyone, you only dare to say that if you have money in your stomach."
The ministers in the palace looked at each other in confusion and had no choice but to watch the play calmly. The literati described in the book about the play had a photographic memory. Only the literati in reality knew clearly that such people were just heard of and never seen. Zhang Ning was not that kind of person either.
, but I attached great importance to it when I wrote that article. After I finished it, I read it more than a dozen times to check for any omissions before I felt relieved... With the former Zhang Ning's qualifications that dared to boast that he would definitely hit the mark, he read the article more than a dozen times and wrote it himself.
, basically memorized it backwards and forwards.
Perhaps Zhang Ning didn't pay attention to restrain himself for a moment, and what he said just now seemed a bit arrogant. The eunuch took the paper, pen and ink, but there was no writing case... The King of Han did not explicitly say to lift the writing case. When Zhang Ning saw this, he thought to himself: Go ahead! I can only write lying down.
What is the difference between writing a pleading and shouting about grievances loudly?
"It won't work if you lie down and write." He muttered. The whole hall burst into laughter, and the King of Han was also happy: "It's interesting, it's a bit interesting."
The flowing fonts are pleasing to the eye, and Zhang Ning can't help but sigh to himself again, he has put in so much hard work in his ten years of hard work. Fortunately, the feeling of writing should be controlled by the cerebellum, and Zhang Ning can now have such skills, and he can write well at this time.
It can be regarded as a very useful craft.
After writing it, the King of Han ordered the eunuch to pass the two pieces of paper to all the ministers. After careful inspection, some of them were actually written by one person, and some of them remained silent. No one denied that they dared to tell lies in front of the prince.
What kind of king is Zhu Gaoxu still?
Zhu Heng's expression obviously relaxed, and he was able to maintain a rigid expression at all times... After all, there are not many people who don't change their expression even if the mountain collapses in front of them. He cast a grateful look at Zhang Ning.
The King of Han said: "I have said long ago that Zhu Shangshu will not commit adultery. What else can you say now?" The ministers were speechless. The King of Han looked down at the palace again and said: "What is Zhu Shangshu's old friend?"
What’s the origin of your fame?”
Zhang Ning plucked up the courage to speak to him from the left, and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Common people do not seek official positions, gold and silver, but are here just to save their friends. I dare to ask, the imperial army is approaching the city despite the Japanese invasion, why did your Majesty resist the enemy?"
One person yelled: "Why are you, a simple citizen, asking about a major military aircraft issue?"
The King of Han raised his hand to stop him and said: "Isn't he from Zhu Shangshu? I will answer you, the man who led the army is Xue Lu. This man is not to be feared. I will defeat him in one day."
Go back and die!"
"Haha..." Zhang Ning suddenly raised his head and laughed.
He knew that it was dangerous to be too arrogant, but in this way, King Han's attention was attracted, and his curiosity would strengthen King Han's emphasis on his remarks. Although psychological tactics are risky... but he would still come to Le'an if he didn't take risks.
For what?
Sure enough, the King of Han did not have an attack. He asked curiously: "Why are you laughing?"
Zhang Ning bowed his head and said: "I think back to the time when King Wen Tao of Han Dynasty had a military strategy, and he fought vertically and horizontally. In the battle of Baigou River, the prince led thousands of elite cavalry to save Taizong from danger. He went straight to the decisive battle and killed Qu Neng and his son. What a man's unstoppable courage! Lingbi!
In this battle, what would happen if the prince had not lost? The outcome is unknown..."
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was sometimes intoxicated and sometimes indignant. Perhaps, when he missed his military exploits, he thought of his subsequent situation and grievances... Anyone can feel grievances, but some people can endure it. Zhu Gaoxu's temper cannot be tolerated.
However, it was a wise move for Zhang Ning to enumerate his brilliance. He could not always boast. Who was the common man in front of the King of Han?
Seeing that the flattery was almost done, Zhang Ning changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty has been wise all his life. Why are you confused today by some mediocre people who only care about their own family and ignore the overall situation?" He flicked his sleeves and said loudly, "Xue
Lu is no match for the prince. Everyone knows it. How could the emperor not know about it? Just imagine, Hou Tai, the eunuch in the palace, was also shocked by the majesty of the Han Dynasty. There were snakes and rats at both ends. The civil and military officials in Beijing were watching the fire from across the bank. The situation was getting out of hand. How could the emperor?
Will only one Xue Lu be sent here? As the imperial court, the best plan for the present is to quickly calm down the situation and stabilize the world with absolutely superior troops regardless of labor and mobilization of troops. There is no other way! The common people boldly assert that the most likely thing to happen is that the emperor
He will mobilize the main force of the three major battalions of the capital to march personally, and Zhongce will send British soldiers to suppress the situation... If the common people are not right, the King of Han can chop off the heads of the common people to sacrifice the flag."
The palace became quiet, it was really quiet.
Zhang Ning slowed down his tone and asked calmly: "The three major battalions of the capital, the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, followed Taizong in the south and north and fought bloody battles. They frightened the Mongolian cavalry who had suppressed the Central Plains for hundreds of years.
I would like to ask His Highness the King of Han, even if you have great literary and military skills, but you are brave enough to be worthy of ten thousand men, in this small place of Le'an City, with few soldiers and few generals, where will you go?"
