Chapter 386 Willing?

Inside Dacheng Village in Yanqing Prefecture, Xuanzhen East Road.

Cheng Dahu let go of his worn clothes, he was hunched over, but he was holding a tall army horse in his hands, and beside him was a young girl with a pure face supporting a thin man.

At this time, a very strong woman walked quickly, and she said as she walked, "Huzi, come on, the meat cakes that have just been baked are just out of the pan, my sister-in-law wrapped them for you, take them with you." Eat on the road."

A six or seven-year-old boy also ran quickly and shouted: "Uncle, when are you coming back, I want to eat meat."

Cheng Sanhu felt sour, he hurriedly took out the cloth bag he had just put away, and was about to take out a piece of meat pie for his nephew, but his sister-in-law Qin Shi who was next to him hurriedly stopped him, saying: "Huzi, you have worked hard outside, this pancake is for you Yes, little tiger head, I will brand him again, and then I will brand him..."

At this time, Hu Zi's father also came up, and he said: "Let's go, work hard in the camp, listen to the officials, and receive the money and food, we are not allowed to fool others."

"Well, Dad, don't worry!"

He took a few steps back, bent his knees and knelt down on the ground, shouting loudly: "Father, Aunt, take care of your health."

Cheng Sanhu knocked his head three times in a row, stood up and immediately turned around to take the horse in the hands of his eldest brother, turned on the horse and swung his whip away. Facing the wind, tears couldn't help falling down, but they were blown away by the cold wind. where.

Because he was far away from home, he specially borrowed a war horse from the camp during the winter solstice vacation. The bright red military uniform was worn on him, which was straight and mighty. In addition, he came back on a tall horse. Since he left home and returned to the camp, he came to the door There are endless matchmakers who propose marriage.

…………

Time soon entered the twelfth lunar month. Although there were a few more snowfalls on the North Road, there was no heavy snowfall. People said that it was the heaven that blessed the North Road. This year's snow is more, and next year's harvest will be better.

Of course, there are also many people who say that this is the blessing that General Zhang, the new admiral and general, brought to Beilu. Didn’t you see that after General Zhang came, he cultivated wasteland and built canals, and there were few enslaved military households? The number of farms has also increased, and even the lords in the official yamen have worked hard.

On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Cheng called Lin Fangping and Zhang Chengfang in the official hall of the general office in Chicheng.

"Fang Ping, Cheng Fang, the two of you go to Yanghe and give me a gift to Chen Duchen personally."

As Zhang Cheng said, he pointed to the table, and saw a rectangular wooden box on it, which was one of the two wild ginseng trees that Su Yiyangjin presented to him.

"Marshal Du, this is a really good thing, something you can't ask for."

Lin Fangping had a look of pity, and Zhang Chengfang beside him also had a look of pity, and said, "Father, you really want to give such a good thing to Governor Chen?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "You guys are just two cheapskates!"

He stood up from his seat, walked to the window, looked at the winter outside the house, and said slowly: "You have to remember that when doing things for others, you must be willing, and only if you are willing will you be rewarded.

The reason why I can be what I am today is naturally because of my uncle's support, Duchen Lu's support, and my own hard work and struggle.

But think about it with your brains, have I stopped at the North Road?
For a general, what is the military affairs of Admiral North Road? In the future, we will not only be Admiral North Road, but I will also be in charge of Xuan Town and be the general soldier of Xuan Town. If this is the case, there must be someone in the court.

understand? "

Lin Fangping seemed to understand, but Zhang Chengfang scratched his head and said, "Father, you are favored by the emperor in court, and you have the support of Elder Yang Ge. Why are you so flattering Governor Chen?"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but laugh, he went back to his seat and sat down, and said: "Come on, silly boy, pour some tea for father-in-law."

After Zhang Chengfang came over and poured tea for him, he continued: "Today, Commander-in-Chief will teach you a lesson, listen carefully.

You said just now that we have the favor of the current emperor, but you don't even think about it, among the capable ministers and generals who have been favored by the current emperor, which one will be the best in the end?

Let's not talk about Yuan Chonghuan who is far away, just talk about Duchen Lu, is the Holy Majesty's favorite?
He led the army several times before and after Qin Wang, and gave Shang Fang a sword several times, but what about the final outcome? Didn't Julu run out of food and aid, and died in a deadly battle for the country! "

He stopped here and took a sip of tea, Zhang Chengfang was so clever, he immediately picked up the teapot and poured it for Zhang Cheng.

"Besides, Elder Yang Ge, although he is doing his best to support this commander and has high expectations, but now he is also going south to Huguang to supervise the division and eliminate the bandits, not to mention whether he will succeed in the future.

We can't put all our hopes on Mr. Yang Ge alone, if that's the case, it's too unsafe, it's like you can't put all eggs in one basket, like Zhuge Liang's clan in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, brother The three were divided into three kingdoms.

And Chen Duchen is my Xuanda's superior, Governor Xuanda, his likes and dislikes for us can even influence our fate, not to mention that Chen Duchen is generally kind to me.

Sending this gift today is not only a repayment of gratitude, but also a further manifestation of my heart of refuge. Only in this way can I win the trust of Chen Duchen. If Chen Duchen returns to the court in the future and enters the court, he will be my first Austrian aid. "

He looked at the two people who were thinking, and said: "You can't figure it out for a while, but you only need to remember that you can get something if you give it up. Today's sacrifice is just for what you will get in the future, so that's it!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

"Father, Cheng Fang, write it down!"

"The two of you are done reconciling, so you can take a trip back to Zhencheng, Fangping, you go home and have a look, and go to see what's going on with He Shihui!"

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.

"............

The man should be in serious danger. How can he let the Confucian crown miss this life?
Kuang Nai's country is in danger, and the feathers are fighting for nothing! "

Emperor Chongzhen was pacing back and forth in the pavilion with a secret note in his hand, still muttering incessantly. He paused, looked at the note of Li Guofu, the eunuch monitoring Xuanzhen North Road, in his hand, and read it again.

"Abandon my old pen, write my wartime lapel,

There are more than [-] people in the same robe, singing battle songs and joining the army.

Clean up the dust, and swear to sweep the Tartars regardless of their own lives! "

He suddenly swung his fist, hit the imperial case hard, and repeated in a louder voice: "Okay, what a 'Jing Huchen', what a 'swear to sweep the Tartars regardless of oneself'!"

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked the little eunuch kneeling in the pavilion, "You said, is this really the words written by Zhang Cheng in Xuanzhen?"

"Going back to Lord Long Live, although it wasn't the servants who saw it in person, at that time Chicheng's military guard He Chongwu, Guan Liangtong judge Qin Shizheng, and Chicheng Confucianism scholar Shao Congyou were all present to see it in person."

Kneeling below is Chen Xiaogong, who accompanied Jin Xinpeng back to Beijing to recruit artisans. He was kneeling on the ground, his body trembling involuntarily, his head bowed down on the ground and he did not dare to lift it up.

Emperor Chongzhen still looked down at Li Guofu's secret performance of Zhang Cheng's words, but said in his mouth: "Send Zhang Cheng's words to the cabinet for circulation by all officials!"
