Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 128 Xu Xianyong’s visit

128 chapter

Lin Cunde sat there and pondered, thinking about what Yu Qian said today, which could take advantage of the internal fighting among civil servants. If so, Zhu Qiyu could take the initiative.

This point is very important. If the civil servants are monolithic, then Zhu Qiyu will have no chance to make a move.

This matter still needs careful consideration.

For the next twenty days, Lin Cunde spent his time reading at home or going to the military camp to watch the training of the fifth military camp.

Now the fifth military camp has begun discipline and ideological education, and simulated actual combat training has also begun.

For the enemy's siege warfare, horse warfare, encounter warfare, etc., all situations that may be encountered on the battlefield must be drilled and trained.

For this reason, Lin Cunde and the generals in the army discussed the tactics that the enemy might adopt, how to defeat the enemy, etc., and even in order to train the soldiers' abilities, they constantly strengthened the enemy's abilities to test the commanders and soldiers' abilities. Ability to meet challenges.

After getting along with each other for such a long time, Lin Cunde became familiar with those generals, and won the trust of those generals.

Even many martial artists already know Lin Cunde's name and know that Wang Ying's future son-in-law is somewhat capable of training methods.

However, Yu Qian's side was not going very smoothly. During the rectification of the local guard station, many officers from the guard station colluded to confess, and even many soldiers did not dare to tell the truth. In addition, the officers from the guard station were looking for connections everywhere to tell the truth. Many people from the military generals' side and the civil servants' side came to Yu Qian, hoping that Yu Qian would not be so harsh.

Yu Qian was very tired from reorganizing military affairs. He stayed in Zhili for more than ten consecutive days and was so busy that he had no time to return home. However, the effect achieved was very small, and the resistance was indeed very great.

On this day, Lin Cunde walked around in the back garden of his home with his hands behind his back. Now, the weather has warmed up, the branches have begun to sprout, and the flowers are in bud, creating a prosperous scene.

Lin Cunyi also went outside to stare at Lin Cunde's farmland. Now those farmlands have long been planted with wheat. The wheat will grow wildly after spring. In addition, Lin Cunyi bought a lot of farmland, so Lin Cunyi needs to go to inspect it.

Lin Cunli mainly helps in the mansion. Now that Zeng is pregnant, Lin Cunli is energetic in everything he does. In addition, Lin Cunde is also generous. In addition to buying some personal items, they basically buy other supplies from the mansion!
Lin Cunde went to the pavilion in the back garden and looked at the fish pond in front of him. The koi carp that had spent the cold winter were now out and about. Lin Cunde also sprinkled the fish food and watched the koi carps chasing the fish food.

After feeding the fish for a while, Lin Cunde sat on the pavilion, reading with a book. Two maids also boiled water for Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde also set up a tea table in the pavilion, wherever Lin Cunde would stay and rest. There will also be a stove on the tea table.

Lin Cunde just watched for a while when he heard the maid remind: "Master, Master Wang is here!"

When Lin Cunde heard this, he looked up and found Wang Zhi coming in from the garden door.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" Wang Zhi started shouting from a distance.

Lin Cunde stood up and looked at Wang Zhi coming over.

After Wang Zhi came closer, Lin Cunde asked with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to my place today? Uncle Shi said the day before yesterday that if you can't find your people, be careful that you will be beaten again!"

"No way? My dad goes out very early every day. I don't even get up. He doesn't come back until very late. I don't go to the front yard either. He can't see me. Isn't that normal? My dad just doesn't do it sometimes. Reasonable?" When Wang Zhi heard this, he immediately shouted in dismay that he was very honest.

Nowadays, there are countless people outside begging him, hoping to get to know him.

This is especially true after the Sun family fell.

However, although Wang Zhi does not study, he is very obedient and can listen to Lin Cunde's words.

"Come on, let's drink tea. Why are you free to come here today?" Lin Cunde poured tea for Wang Zhi and asked.

"Brother-in-law, I may need your help with something!" Wang Zhi sat down and looked at Lin Cunde sheepishly.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he didn't care. Instead, he smiled and said, "How much does it cost?"

Now Lin Cunde's mansion has 6 taels of cash piled up, and dividends were distributed last month. He thought Wang Zhi needed money.

Wang Zhi waved his hands quickly, then looked at Lin Cunde with an embarrassed look and said: "It's not money, brother-in-law, I can make a lot now, but, yes, someone wants to find trouble!"

"Who is looking for me?" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Zhi in confusion.

"Ding Guo Gong Xu Xianzhong's younger brother, Xu Xianyong, didn't Ding Guo Gong's wife go to the palace to intercede with her eldest sister last time? Interceded for Sun Zhong! Now Sun Zhong's family has fallen. Ding Guo Gong's wife is restless because of this, worried that it will affect others. His son, Xu Yongning, came to the throne, so he specifically asked me to come to the event. I didn’t dare to agree to this matter, but he kept looking for me. I don’t know where he got the news later, and I heard that you were highly regarded by His Majesty and Eldest Sister, so I wanted to ask you. Please help! We are waiting outside the house now!" Wang Zhi sat there and explained to Lin Cunde.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde looked at Wang Zhi with a smile.

Wang Zhi looked embarrassed and could only scratch his head and said: "Xu Xianyong has found me. Moreover, this person now represents the Dingguo Palace. I dare not offend him. However, brother-in-law, I will never disclose your information." Go out, he found out about it himself!"

Lin Cunde looked at Wang Zhi, smiled and asked, "Why don't you think Xu Xianyong went to see Shi Bo, or why did Mrs. Dingguo not go to the palace in person to plead guilty, but sent you to find me?"

"This?" Wang Zhi looked at Lin Cunde in confusion.

When Lin Cunde saw him like this, he probably couldn't understand, so he explained: "Because we are still young, they thought we didn't understand, so they agreed, and then stupidly went to the palace to find the Queen. This Xu Xianyong didn't do it either." honest!"

Xu Xianzhong's son is nine years old this year. He remembers that he only became a prince in the fifth year of Jingtai. The son of the British Duke Zhang Fu is also nine years old this year and seems to be able to become a prince this year.

Moreover, Xu Xianzhong died in the 13th year of Zhengtong. Zhu Qizhen did not let his son succeed in the title. Instead, he asked his son to wait until he was a child. The matter was settled when Zhu Qizhen was a child. Now, go to Zhu Qiyu to succeed. Jue, Zhu Qiyu will definitely not change easily.

As for the British Duke Zhang Fu, he died in Tumu Fort, so he had merit.Zhu Qiyu definitely wanted his son to take the title, but Zhang Fu's eldest son had a leg disease and could not take the title, so the concubine Zhang Mao had to do so.Even so, after Zhu Qiyu made Zhang Mao a prince, he ordered him to study at home and ignore the affairs of the Governor's Mansion first, and then take care of the affairs of the Governor's Mansion after he was a child.

Moreover, the British public line is in charge of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion. It can be said that it is basically a hereditary governor. Although Wang Ying is now the left governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, it is because Zhang Fu died in the battle and his son Zhang Mao was young. If Zhang Mao was older, he would He must start as the right governor, and when he gets more experience, he will be promoted to the left governor.

"Brother-in-law, are we missing?" Wang Zhi looked at Lin Cunde and asked worriedly. Now this Xu Xianyong was waiting for him outside the mansion.

"See you, of course I want to see you, but this matter needs to be explained clearly!" Lin Cunde smiled at Wang Zhi and said, why not?And if you meet him, you can also help Zhu Qiyu win over people from Ding Guogong's line.

As for the British Duke, Lin Cunde remembered that Zhang Fu's younger brothers Zhang Shi and Zhang Fu participated in the Doumen Incident, and were knighted for this reason.

Therefore, those children of the Duke's family are actually serving in the military. The power of these people should not be underestimated. Although, now that he is here, Zhang Xi and Zhang Fu may not have the opportunity to participate in such things again, but for them, The relationship network behind it and the forces in the military have to pay attention to them.

Many of the military positions in the Ming Dynasty are hereditary. Not to mention the low-level military officers in the army, the military positions of nobles are basically hereditary.

Among them, Duke Ding and Duke Ying have guarded Beijing for generations, Duke Wei and Duke Cheng have guarded Nanjing for generations, and Duke Qian has guarded Yunnan for generations. The management of several generations and the network of relationships are frightening.

"Then I'll call him in!" Wang Zhi stood up very happily after hearing Lin Cunde's words.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Cunde said and stood up and continued: "This Xu Xianyong is now the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, a second-rank military general. I am a seventh-rank general, how dare I not go to greet you, but I will wait for you. Come in, you don’t have to say much, I’ll just say it!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi quickly smiled and said: "I know, brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't say anything and I don't know anything!"

Lin Cunde laughed. Wang Zhi could not do anything else, but he was still very obedient.

Lin Cunde and Wang Zhi arrived at the gate of the mansion. Lin Cunde asked someone to open the middle door, and then went out. They saw a young man, about 25 or [-] years old, with a tall build and bright eyes. He was really good-looking.

Lin Cunde walked out quickly, raised his hands to Xu Xianyong and said, "Lin Cunde, the lower official, has met the Governor Qianshi!"

"Hey, that's too polite!" Xu Xianyong quickly returned the greeting and said with a smile.

"That's right. Lord Governor Qianshi came to my humble residence. I'm sorry that I missed you from afar, but I hope you'll forgive me!" Lin Cunde said again with his hands in hand.

"No, no, no, I'm the one who disturbed you!" Xu Xianyong said quickly.

Lin Cunde then stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation: "Master Governor Qianshi, please!"

"Please, please!" Xu Xianyong also made a gesture of invitation quickly, but he also knew that now that Lin Cunde had made such a show, he could only leave first. He originally wanted to come as a visiting friend, but he didn't expect that, Lin Cunde followed the etiquette completely. Xu Xianyong had no confidence in his heart at this moment. He didn't know if he could persuade Lin Cunde to intercede.

Lin Cunde led the way and took Xu Xianyong to the west wing of the front yard. Lin Cunde also set up a tea table here. This was Wang Ying's suggestion to Lin Cunde. More and more people would visit Lin Cunde in the future. Maybe everyone has a study room and needs to prepare another room to accommodate guests.

In the corner of the living room, Lin Cunde also set up a tea table to entertain distinguished but unfamiliar guests, while the side room was used to entertain ordinary guests.

Lin Cunde regarded Xu Xianyong as an ordinary guest in his heart. Maybe even if he entertained him this time, he wouldn't come next time.
