Zhang Ximeng and Zhou Huiniang chatted for a few more words, and found that this woman was indeed elegant in conversation, had extraordinary insights, and was very scheming. Even if it was a matter of national importance, she could talk about it.
However, Zhang Ximeng also quickly discovered some problems, that is, when it comes to people in the DPRK, she can do it with ease and outline a lifelike image in just a few words.
But when it came to the specific money, food and soldiers, she was speechless. Even if she managed to say a few words, it would only make people laugh.
Zhang Ximeng understood instantly that the level of those who taught Zhou Huiniang behind the scenes was nothing more than this.
Moreover, although Zhou Huiniang's spirit was high, she was limited by the situation and could not really reach that level. She typically knew what was happening but did not know why.
During the conversation, Zhou Huiniang kept testing and questioning Wu Datou, and seemed to be very concerned about this prospective colleague. After all, in her opinion, no matter how good the conversation with Zhang Ximeng was, she could not completely let down her guard. Wu Datou was a safe and reliable person.
After Zhang Ximeng heard the end, he had already made a comprehensive judgment on Zhou Huiniang.
"Wu Baihu is doing something very big and dangerous, but once he succeeds, it will benefit the world and his merits will be immeasurable. Even a hundred years later, he will still be praised by people."
Zhou Huiniang was shocked. She admired and admired Zhang Ximeng's idea that everyone is a saint, but she didn't think it could really be realized. Just like when she went from Yangzhou to Chuzhou, she didn't think about what would happen all at once... As long as she didn't have to do it every day
It's enough to force yourself to be happy and don't act for the occasion. It's enough to be able to have some space of your own outside of performing on stage and to be able to control your destiny. As for more things, she doesn't dare to think about it.
This is the contradiction of this woman. She obviously pretends to have the talent to guide the country, but when it comes to herself, she is so humble and realistic. Therefore, she cares especially about Wu Datou and this role model.
"Sir, can you tell me a little bit about what Wu... Baihu did?"
Zhang Ximeng pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "He went to Dadu!"
"Dadu!" Zhou Huiniang's expression changed instantly. What could Wu Datou do in Dadu? He had once broken through Huaiyuan and captured Cheri Buhua.
Then when he goes to Dadu, will the same thing happen?
The goal this time is definitely not to be thorough, it should be bigger, that is...the Dog Emperor?
Wu Datou wants to imitate Jing Ke's desire to leave and do Bolangsha's attack?
If this is true, then Wu Datou is really an amazing hero.
But regardless of success or failure, he couldn't come back alive.
Such a character will disappear into thin air... Zhou Huiniang suddenly glanced at Zhang Ximeng meaningfully... Is this your attitude towards Wu Datou?
Give him unparalleled courtesy, win people's hearts, and then let him risk his life to assassinate him?
Sure enough, if people’s hearts are like this, who would really care about the poor people?
What she said just sounded nice, and she was also confused, but she still had a little bit of luck... In just a short moment, Zhou Huiniang thought of too many things, and she planned to get up and say goodbye, and find a place.
Sort out your mood and reflect on your mistakes...
"Miss Zhou, don't you want to know what Wu Baihu does?"
Zhou Huiniang was startled, lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "I can tell you that he went to sing in an opera."
"Sing opera!"
Zhou Huiniang was shocked. Isn't this a joke?
Is it possible to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the Yuan Dynasty by sending a group of people to Dadu to sing operas?
Is this too nonsense?
"Sir, please forgive me for the little girl's difficulty in understanding this!"
Zhang Ximeng smiled again and said: "Is there anything difficult to understand... Since ancient times, in order to deal with enemies and achieve goals, there are many people who have used prophecies and nursery rhymes. A few years ago, didn't they use the saying "The stone man has one eye" to incite rebellion in the Yellow River world?
Now I am just following the example of my predecessors.”
Zhou Huiniang was still puzzled, "Sir, did you ask Wu Baihu to spread prophecies?"
"It's almost the same, but there may be some deviations in the details. I hope they can put on a few good shows and make Tuo Tuo famous."
"Prime Minister Tuotuo?" Zhou Huiniang asked in surprise.
"Yes! That's him." Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "You have learned so many skills. I want to ask you, how is Tuotuo's situation at the moment?"
Zhou Huiniang pondered for a long time, and then said: "Maybe it's not good... He seems to be cooking with fire, and the flowers are blooming. But the power is too heavy, the status is too high, and everyone in the government and the public is afraid of his opponents. I think he is in trouble."
It won't end well."
"You are indeed smart!" Zhang Ximeng praised: "Then can you tell when Tuotuo will collapse?"
"This..." Zhou Huiniang was immediately dumbfounded. Fortune-telling has always been blocked at both ends, so how could she kill him with one blow? She and her Hongru teachers didn't have this ability either!
"Hahaha!" Zhang Ximeng laughed: "The defeat of Tuotuo is right in front of us, and it will not exceed two months at most. I arranged for Wu Baihu and others to come to Beijing just to act in a few plays and add some spice to this matter.
A handful of firewood!”
"A play? What play?"
"There are three works: "The Bronze Bird Terrace", "Huan Wen's Northern Expedition", and "The Palace of Eternal Life"."
Zhou Huiniang frowned, "W-what do these three appearances mean?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "With your girl's intelligence, you can't guess it?"
Zhou Huiniang thought about it again and again, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on her forehead, "Well, the first part of the Tongque Terrace says that the Cao family is the emperor and is blessed by heaven. The second part, about Huan Wen's Northern Expedition, should be said to be named after the Northern Expedition.
Seize power, threaten the emperor, depose the king... As for the third chapter, the Palace of Eternal Life is about the general who led the army to rebel and fight back to the capital, forcing the emperor to flee, the noble concubine died, the mountains and rivers were shattered, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed!"
The three plays are intertwined, like three sharp knives, slashing at Tuotuo.
Zhou Huiniang no longer dared to be calm. Zhang Ximeng did not just assassinate the emperor in a vague way, but down-to-earth, created public opinion, and targeted the Great Yuan Pillar, Tuo Tuo.
Looking at it this way, the chance of success is much greater, and Wu Datou is not certain to die.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huiniang couldn't help but blush. It turned out that it was her villainous heart that made her confused.
But Zhou Huiniang thought about it again, and it didn’t seem right!
"Sir, no matter how good Wu Baihu's play is, if he goes to Dadu alone, where will he act, and how will he create momentum? Two months is probably not enough!"
"Young lady is really smart, but who told you that you are alone?" Zhang Ximeng said calmly: "We have already made arrangements here. Before Wu Baihu came to Beijing, there were rumors that famous opera masters from the southeast went to Beijing to avoid disaster.
Performing in Beijing. Singing for ten days without taking any money, just to beg the elders and enjoy the food. Then there will be famous scholars, wealthy businessmen and talented people, and even the Yuan Dynasty clan to join in. By the way, even Tuotuo's party members,
I will also go over to support Wu Baihu."
"What?"
Zhou Huiniang was shocked. Although she had learned a lot, she would not record such things in any ridiculous books!
Obviously they are running for Tuotuo, but they still have to support Tuotuo and wave their flags.
Although the world is very absurd, it is not absurd to this extent. In any case, it cannot be true.
Zhang Ximeng is still smiling, which Zhou Huiniang cannot imagine, but for Zhang Ximeng, this matter is not difficult.
First of all, Jia Lu had already contacted his old friends in Beijing and got some information about Yuan Ting. Zhang Ximeng had already arranged for people to send generous gifts, which completely opened up the relationship.
So as long as Wu Datou comes to Beijing, these people will stand up, wave the flag and arrange everything for them. After all, there are very few things in Yuanting that cannot be done with money.
To put it bluntly, when the country has reached this point, are all the officials in the DPRK loyal to the emperor and serving the country?
Even if these officials are like this, don't they have families? Aren't they afraid that the Red Scarf Army will attack their hometown and wipe out their clan?
These days, everyone has to leave a way out.
As for how come Tuo Tuo's party members are obedient?
This is even simpler. Didn't Zhang Ximeng capture Tamerlane's seal? There happened to be a talented painter beside him, so he immediately imitated Tamerlane's handwriting and used his seal to write a few letters to Beijing.
The general idea is that the Tuotuo victory is imminent, and the red thief is not worth mentioning. How should the imperial court reward the grand master for such merit?
Tuotuo is now the grand master, the prime minister, and has reached the position of a highly respected minister... Should he be granted a royal title next, or should he go to the palace with swords and shoes?
Anyway, after getting rid of their party members, most of them hope that the prime minister can be promoted to a higher level. As for the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty? They can achieve the miraculous efficiency of nine in twenty years, and there is nothing wrong with deposing an emperor.
Zhang Ximeng's move cannot be said to be very clever, but it happened to grasp the complicated and delicate situation of the Yuan Dynasty. Tutuo's party members and the forces opposing Tutuo were fighting fiercely.
At this time, even a straw stick may determine the outcome and crush one party.
What's more, Zhang Ximeng has been planning a big move for a long time.
Although in history, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty also possessed Wanyan Gou, recalled Tuotuo, and changed his commander before the battle. But now a powerful enemy is on the side, and they are fighting every day. Every battle means hundreds of lives.
The sooner you can get rid of it, the better. Time waits for no one.
After Zhou Huiniang figured this out, she couldn't help but become crazy.
She is still too naive. How much can she learn from books? Reality is the best teacher.
Who could believe that the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, the pillar of the imperial court, would actually fall into the hands of an opera singer, and behind this, it was this ordinary young man who was planning!
Although Tuotuo's situation is very delicate, it has reached the edge of the cliff.
But being able to push him forward and hasten his downfall would be a remarkable achievement, enough to shine through in the annals of history.
And Tuotuo was almost the only one among the Mongolian nobles in the Yuan Dynasty who could do it.
If he were to die, there would really be no hope for the Yuan Dynasty.
Realizing this, Zhou Huiniang actually felt her blood boiling... People like her are just not awakened. Once they figure it out, the fighting spirit they can burst out is unmatched by ordinary people.
The fact that she can play the pipa and beat the war drums for the Liuhe defenders is proof of this.
Now that Wu Datou can do it, her conditions are better!
"Sir, I, I also want to follow Wu Baihu and help to get rid of Tuotuo!"
Zhang Ximeng was smiling, not surprised at all.
"Miss Zhou, I'm afraid it's not safe to go here!"
"I'm not afraid! Instead of being confused and disappearing like a duckweed in troubled times, it's better to risk your life and give it a try. Even if you die, you will be generous and heroic and have a clear conscience."
Zhou Huiniang smiled and said: "Sir, I just have two more requests. Please agree to them."
"any request?"
"First, I want to ask my husband to give me my share of the land, and temporarily hand it over to my maid Xiaoju; secondly, I want to ask my husband to agree that after he enters Yangzhou in 2008, if there are women from brothels,
If you are willing to escape from the sea of suffering, please sir, please help them out! These are poor people!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded slightly, "Both of these requests are not difficult. I can send you a land deed in Liuhe right now." He did what he said and immediately wrote a land deed to Zhou Huiniang.
Moreover, since she had already joined the army and was going to Dadu to perform a mission, she was a special person, so she received three shares of the ration field alone, which was a total of fifteen acres!
Zhou Huiniang took the Tian deed, her hands trembling unconsciously. She was so happy that she shed a tear. She shook her head and tried to force out a smile, "Sir, this little girl has earned dirty money for so many years. This, this is finally clean."
Got it!"
Zhou Huiniang didn't stay too long and actually left for the north overnight. The person escorting her was Uncle Jiang.
"Zhang Qingcheng, I know that you won't be relieved if I don't explain myself clearly. My surname is Jiang and my name is Jiang Puxin. Do you know who I am?"
"Peng Dang?" Zhang Ximeng said in surprise.
"Yes!" Uncle Jiang laughed proudly, "Master Peng is dead, so it's hard for anyone to still remember Dang Peng. I was defeated and fled everywhere, thanks to Miss Zhou who took me in. I simply worked as a coachman for her, hiding my identity. Anyway,
, we Peng Dang and the Dog Tatars have a blood feud and will fight to the death! Now, Zhang Qingcheng should feel relieved!"
