Chapter 346: Defend the territory and open up the frontier, forever guarding Liaodong
"What does Lu Shuang have to do with you?"
In Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying asked straight to the point.
Zhang San has been with him for more than seven years, and for five years, he has been working as a personal bodyguard. At this point, he has long been very familiar with Zhang San's situation.
He didn't reprimand him for anything.
Zhang San said frankly: "She is very similar to my sister."
Zhu Ying nodded slightly, finally understanding.
"You haven't done enough in the affairs of the Lu family. You must have read Jin Yiwei's regulations. Maybe you think the Lu family doesn't have much to do with it, but sometimes, you know people and don't know their hearts. What you saw,
It may not be quite what you imagine.”
"A traitor looks like a loyal person, looks like a simple and wild person on the outside, but hides cunning and deceit inside. In today's world, many people will deliberately disguise their reputation so that it is difficult for outsiders to see."
"How do your colleagues in Jinyiwei view you for letting the Lu family go so lightly? Are there other families who have good personal relationships with you who can do this to you?"
"Or, you are doing these things as a close confidant of me, and no one else can interfere or hinder you."
When Zhang San heard this, he was immediately horrified and knelt down and said: "My boss, Zhang San definitely has no such idea."
This would be an extremely serious blow to Zhang San.
Ever since he was rescued by Zhu Ying, he has always regarded Zhu Ying as everything to him.
His boss is the only light in his gloomy life.
When it comes to loyalty, Zhang San can honestly say that no one in the world can compare with him.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang San can become the leader of Zhu Ying's personal bodyguards. His daily thoughts and training have only one purpose, to protect his master's family.
This belief has never wavered even a little bit in his heart.
But today, when his boss reprimanded him for using his identity as a confidant to do things, he really panicked.
He, who has never been afraid of anything, is now afraid and trembling.
He was afraid that his employer would no longer trust him.
Hearing this call from the boss, Zhu Ying sighed a little in her heart.
Thinking of all the past events, it is not easy to get to where we are today.
During this period, Zhang San bravely moved forward many times without hesitation, which can be considered as a great contribution to himself.
There was not much intention to punish Zhang San, so Zhu Ying raised her hand and said: "Get up, don't be so panicked, I'm just telling you the reason."
"But I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here any longer."
"Most of the government offices in the world are extremely mixed. You and I have been traveling together for many years, and we have seen a lot."
"However, the conditions of those yamen are different. Most of them are local schools, but Jinyiwei is unique."
"When outsiders talk about Jin Yiwei, he is nothing more than a notorious figure, a hawk in the court, but he is also the only one where officials and businessmen cannot interfere."
"Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, when grandpa established Jinyiwei, there has never been any collusion with officials and businessmen. Even some extra income has been recorded in Jinyiwei in great detail."
Zhu Yingying explained carefully.
Zhang San's face showed a look of shame. Only then did he realize that he had broken the rules of the Jinyiwei Yamen without knowing it.
"Your Highness, Zhang San is guilty, please punish him."
Zhang San knelt on one knee and said.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying said: "If I remember correctly, Erya should have arrived in the capital by now."
"Don't let Erya feel cold about the matter about Lu Shuang. I know you can't speak, but you can't stand others talking."
"Of course, if you are interested in Lu Shuang, there is no problem in marrying her."
Erya is a woman who has become strong since she was injured due to a misunderstanding when Zhang San returned to the Western Regions to send a message.
Although they are not Han Chinese, there is not much concept of ethnic opposition in the Western Regions. Including the Ming Dynasty, ethnic unity is the main focus.
Setting off from the post station to deliver the message there is not like rushing on horseback. From the Western Regions to Nanjing, traveling through mountains and rivers for more than 7,000 miles, it is not something that can be reached within reach, let alone a round trip.
Zhang San heard this and said quickly: "I have no other intentions towards Lu Shuang of the Lu family. It's just that when we met, I felt like a little sister, so that's why I acted like this."
"According to the time schedule, Erya should be able to arrive in the capital before the new year. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
After finishing these words, it was almost time to get to the main topic. After a short pause, Zhu Ying said: "You still remember the incident when I went to Liaodong to investigate the black soil."
Zhang San replied: "I remember."
Zhu Yingdao: "Now regarding Liaodong, the slaves are doing black soil. Yesterday, I told my grandpa. This morning, I announced it to the ministers. In the near future, I will make a notice to announce it to the world."
"The matter of adjusting the black soil is of great importance and involves Zuo, the country of the Ming Dynasty. However, to open up the wasteland in the northeast, I have no one under my command who I can trust."
Zhu Ying did have many capable subordinates under his command, but Zhu Ying had some confidence in the situation of those people.
Although he had shown kindness and even saved many people from the famine, they were all free-range. The black soil in the Northeast was of great importance. Without reliable people to garrison there, there was no telling how much money would be stolen.
Moreover, it is far away from the capital, so it is completely unclear what kind of things it breeds.
Zhang Bo is already old, not to mention Ye Yueqing.
After thinking about it, it seems that Zhang San is the most suitable one.
At least in terms of loyalty, there is no need to worry. No matter what the situation, it is extremely easy to manage.
Zhang San is like Zhu Ying, and Mu Ying is like Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Ying's current idea is to make Zhang San the second Mu family, to permanently rule Liaodong and educate foreigners.
Zhang San, who has been able to serve as Zhu Ying's personal guard for so many years, is very capable in terms of personal ability.
The matter of Jin Yiwei does not mean that Zhang San is not good. In fact, there is no such thing as Jin Yiwei in other places. Everything depends on his will.
Zhu Ying didn't care about the brothers who followed Zhang San, drank alcohol, ate meat, and got hungover from brothels.
In the end, one person achieves enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
I have been suppressed for so many years, and I have shed blood and sweat for the Chamber of Commerce. Because I am guarding Zhu Ying, I don't have any rest and relaxation like others, so now it is normal for people to have some entertainment.
After hearing this, Zhang San immediately understood what His Highness meant.
However, there was a trace of hesitation in my heart.
This hesitation was not due to anything else, but because after he accepted this errand, it would be unknown what year or month he would see His Highness again.
For more than five years, he has been by His Highness's side. Even if he only goes out, he will return quickly.
When I leave, I will not know how old I am.
Thinking of this, Zhang San's eyes turned red, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Zhang San is willing to defend the territory and open up new territories for His Highness, and forever control Liaodong."
