The lineage of the Marquis of Jingzhou was also considered a prominent family in the Duke of the Capital. During the Jing Dynasty, although the Marquis of Jingzhou did not make many contributions at that time, the Marquis was still reluctantly granted the title. Logically speaking, there were so many heroes and generals,
He was far from qualified, but his luck was good, so Emperor Wen still gave him generous rewards.
But the real fortune was not because of the Jingnan Dynasty, but in the battle of Tumu Fort, when the Wasat people defeated the Ming army in one fell swoop, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops collapsed, and even the emperor was captured. The lords who followed the emperor were almost the same.
It was all in one go, but the Marquis of Jingzhou did not accompany him and escaped the disaster. So the Mao family of Marquis of Jingzhou was completely turned over. When the heroes of Jingnan were alive, he was nothing, but once these people died, he became
He became an old man and became a veteran. Whether facing the Duke of England or Duke of Cheng Guo, these fathers and brothers died on the battlefield. Although their titles were far superior to the Mao family, in terms of seniority, if they met, they would still be unavoidable to have a son and nephew.
He had to claim to be his nephew.
In addition, there was no general Liao Hua in Shu as a pioneer. Those predecessors either died of illness or were either broken into this Tumu Fort. Only the old man from the Mao family lived long enough. After the battle of Tumu Fort, the court was almost gone.
People are available. In this case, Mr. Mao was naturally valued as one of the few honors. The court handed over half of the military affairs in Liaodong to him, and the emperor was even more generous to him because of him.
I am old and always send people greetings every few months. It is so popular that the old qualifications are here. In addition to being jealous and hot, do you dare to break your mouth?
The third Marquis of Jingzhou Maotong was not old enough to reach his 40s. After inheriting the title, he had already entrusted the important task. He was first incorporated into his own army as the forbidden city guard. Like all the children who followed the rules, he quickly rose step by step.
He was promoted, but in his thirties, he went to Shanhaiguan as the general. Judging from his appearance, his future prospects were limitless. In addition, his ancestors had some prestige in the army. It is certain that he has risen to the top, even the governor of Nanjing.
The Duke of Cheng Guo favored him very much.
A marquis who is less than 40 years old have always been in the army. How could such a person rest in the capital for a few months because he had some illness? In fact, the Ministry of War also doesn't understand it very much. As Shanhaiguan
What's wrong with the general lying in the capital? So he urged him several times. Mao Tong didn't say anything. Not saying anything meant that he didn't want to pay attention to it. The military officers on this border have never been afraid of the Ministry of War, but they feared the local people.
The governor and Mao Tong have such an identity, so there is no need to be polite to the Ministry of War. Besides, the emperor has not issued an order to drive people away. What's your Ministry of War?
Mao Tong had a problem, that is, he liked to stay in the study room. Although he knew a few words, he really said that he loved reading but was afraid that others would not believe it. But he had this hobby. He got up early every day in this marquis' mansion.
Staying in the study room, he would not go out of the door, and sometimes he would pick up some books to read, but most of the time, he just sat behind the desk and was stunned for a few hours.
When the family saw him, they were confused and asked him what he was thinking, but he just smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Today, the Jinyiwei sent someone to post. After Mao Tong received a report from his family, his fat body couldn't help but slammed him. He was stunned for a while, and finally he called him a famous sting. This time, he looked at it.
Then I saw Liu Chengfeng's name. He, the general of Shanhaiguan, had a more earthy face.
In the study, the green lights were rising and the smoky eyes were hard to open. The swaying and red light shone on Mao Tong's white face, but the face showed a little redness.
"Come on, call Mao Wu."
Mao Tong shouted.
The people who served outside did not dare to neglect them, so naturally they went there. After a while, a strong mid-year-old man came in and respectfully bowed to Mao and said, "What are the instructions for me?"
This Mao Wu is not an outsider. Decades ago, his father was the confidant guard of the Marquis of Jingzhou. The Marquis of Jingzhou appreciated his father and recommended him to be an official nearby, but because someone mutinyed in the camp, the official did not have any official.
He kept it, so Mao Wu's father worked in the Marquis' Mansion. Mao Wu became a member of the Mao family when he was born. When the old man was still alive, he personally gave him the surname Mao.
Mao Wu grew up with Mao Tong, so Mao Tong naturally appreciated him very much and attracted him as his confidant.
Mao Tong leaned on the chair and glanced at Mao Wu. He was fat, but Mao Wu was very strong. Mao Wu stood in front of Mao Tong like a hill. Mao Tong sighed and said, "The Jinyiwei."
Why did you suddenly post? Did the matter spread? Not many people know about this? Could it be that someone leaked the news? It is not a good thing that Liu Chengfeng sent an invitation to the door. If someone else is not afraid, he is the only one.
This person..." Mao Tong continued worriedly: "How should we deal with it now? Liu Chengfeng will never give up. It is time to get out of the way..." Mao Tong couldn't help but scream, with a look on his face.
A terrifying look.
Mao Wu also seemed a little uneasy and said carefully: "Master, the matter is not clear yet. Perhaps it is just that Duke Lian wants to make friends with him. After all, the master is the general of Shanhaiguan, so Duke Lian may..."
Mao Tong sneered and said, "How is this possible? If someone wants to get to know me, he should be asking me to his private residence. Where can I invite me to the Beizhen Fushi? I thought about it, but I was afraid something really happened...
...Oh, it’s just that I’m so worried about eating lard. If it really comes to the day when the story is revealed, this family of people…”
Mao Wu remained silent and looked scared.
At this moment, a knock on the door was heard outside. This sudden sound came in, which made Mao Tong, who was already a frightened bird, fight a cold war. He glanced at Mao Wu in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Who is it?
”
"Master, the Wuyi tea you want has arrived. It has just been cooked. The lady teaches the villain to deliver it quickly."
Mao Tong heard that this was the voice of the mansion's manager, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Chat, tea, tea, tea, you know tea..." Although he cursed, Mao Tong was still vicious.
He said: "Send it in."
The manager outside pushed the door and put the tea cup on the desk. Seeing that Mao Tong was in a bad mood, he left immediately after putting the tea.
The study room was calm again, but Mao Tong's face became unstable. He glanced at Mao Wu and said slowly: "You must find out this matter clearly. Let's see what the Jinyiwei found.
I know something again, think of a way to inquire.”
Mao Wu nodded and said, "Yes, Master, please be content. I'll go and inquire about it. There are still a few acquaintances in the Jinyiwei, and I can always find out some news." He didn't say anything more, but looked at him.
Mao Tong looked at him and left immediately.
Mao Tong looked in a daze and sat on the chair again, staring blankly at the swaying candlelight on the desk. After a long time, he sighed and couldn't help but hold the teacup on the table, but he didn't know
Is it because he has been sitting for too long that the tea has become a little cold? After taking a bite, he suddenly felt that the taste was a little wrong. He couldn't help but frown and sniffed the tea. Where is the fragrance of Wuyi in the tea? Mao Tong
While hesitating, I suddenly felt colic in my abdomen, my whole body twitched, and a mouthful of foam came out of my mouth...
"It's...toxic... poisonous... poisonous in the tea...come...come..."
He couldn't help but scream, but it was getting late at this time, and he was discussing major events, so the people outside the study had already scared him away, and no one came in. He covered his stomach and felt so painful.
His eyes were straight, his throat seemed to be pinched, his chin opened and closed, and then he turned over and fell to the ground...
The Beizhen Fushi is already brightly lit, and it is midnight now. At this time, most of the people on duty at night have already slept, but now, many of the well-known people in the Beizhen Fushi have come, from Neixicheng.
Qianhu was the fastest to come, and the matter was at his place. After hearing the lieutenant's report, he knew something was wrong, so he immediately came to the Beizhen Fushi Department to report that night. The military officer on duty saw that something was wrong.
Of course, he didn't dare to delay and quickly invited Li Dongdong to discuss. When Li Dongdong heard that it was Mao Tong who was in trouble, he also felt something was strange. He thought that this might not involve the recent imperial case, so he hurriedly asked someone to invite Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Chengfeng held his hands behind his back, and seven or eight people in the room were all lowering their heads. He paced back and forth for a few steps, then raised his head, and said with a very bad look: "What's going on? How can one person be so good?
He was poisoned. This was the marquis of the Ming Dynasty and the general of Shanhaiguan. Who was so brave that he actually dared to poison Mao Tong? Who was the first to discover this?”
Qianhu in Neixicheng lowered his head and said in cold sweat: "According to the order of the Lord, some capable lieutenant arranged for information near the Marquis' Mansion to inquire about the news, and sent someone to follow him. Just an hour ago, he suddenly discovered the Marquis's
There was an abnormality in the mansion. First, a few imperial physicians were suddenly invited, and then someone went to Shuntian Mansion. He was naturally asked to inquire. Only then did he realize that Mao Tong was poisoned because he had taken a highly toxic poison.
There is no cure to cure it, and I have already died. I am too serious, so...so..."
Liu Chengfeng still kept his hands behind his back and said coldly: "This matter is indeed not small. You can wait and see. At this time tomorrow, it will definitely cause a sensation in the capital. The most important thing at the moment is to find out what Mao Tong is doing.
"He glanced at Li Dongdong. The two of them had a sense of harmony and had a premonition that Mao Tong was most likely involved in King Ning.!~!
