Chapter four hundred and ninetieth through the door without entering
Except for little Jinghui's poor health, there was nothing else going on in the house. One-year-old Zhang Hongjian and four-month-old Zhang Mingqian grew up healthily without any illness or pain, which made Shang Danran and Mu Zhenzhen, two young mothers, grow up healthily.
I have worried a lot; Lu Tao and Zhang Ruoxi are still in Beijing, and Zhang Ruoxi said that she will wait for Zhang Yuan to return from North Korea before returning to Jiangnan; Wang Wei has not returned to Beijing yet...
Zhang Yuan asked some about the situation in the house, and asked Wu Ling and Baima to go back to Lige Old Hutong to report the news. He also had to go to the Ministry of Rites to return his orders. The captured Nalan Baksh and another Jurchen prisoner were also to be handed over to the command of the Jinyi Guards.
Let Luo Sigong be interrogated again——
Just now, Wu Ling was talking about the four-month-old Zhang Mingqian, who is strong and cute. Mu Jingyan on the side smiled happily without saying anything. He was really happy. This is a real baby, and he is really a mother!
Zhang Yuandao: "Uncle Mu, you and Master Wang, Hong Ji, Hong Xin and others should go back to the house first."
Mu Jingyan, Hong Ji, and Hong Xin are not part of the mission establishment, so they do not need to go to the Ministry of Rites to report their orders tomorrow. They can just report to the Ministry of War tomorrow. Wang Zongyue was personally hired by Du Song to escort Zhang Yuan, and he does not even need to go to the Ministry of War.
Mu Jingyan said: "It's better to follow Master Zhang and finish the work before going back."
As they approached Chang'an Street, more and more people were watching. The 16-member ceremonial guard of the mission cheered up, waved their flags, raised their leopard-tailed spears, and their ceremonial knives shone brightly in the July sunshine. Guiding drums and gongs played rhythmically.
Hitting -
With sharp ears, Zhang Yuan heard people on the roadside asking each other: "Why are there so few people in the Jinyi Guards? When I was on a mission in March, I saw there were several rows of them. Why are they missing more than half this time?"
"A few of them are still wearing bandages and their injuries are serious. Who dares to stroke Master Jin Yiwei's beard?"
"It is said that Zhang Zhuangyuan encouraged the king's nephew to rebel in Korea and killed the king. The king's nephew became the king."
"How could Zhang Zhuangyuan encourage such treasonous and unjust things? We should stop such unkind and unjust things."
"Who knows, maybe Zhang Zhuangyuan got the benefit of the nephew of the King of Korea——"
…
There was a lot of discussion, and some Jin Yiwei heard it and shouted angrily.
Zhang Yuan said to Zhen Zidan: "The common people are ignorant, hear hearsay, and make wild guesses. There is no need to blame them, but people with ulterior motives must be wary of rumors deliberately created. We defeated the slave conspiracy in North Korea and killed the enemy with blood on our way back. These achievements
We must not allow distortion or obliteration. When Zhen Qianhu sees Commander Luo, he must report it in detail. His subordinates, the Jinyi Guards, must also try their best to publicize Lord Guanghai’s disloyalty and ambition to build slaves, so that the people in the capital know what we have done and what happened to us.”
Zhang Yuan is very clear about his situation. He must not only try to stop Nurhachi's upcoming offensive, but also beware of the overt and covert attacks by political opponents in North Korea and China. The latter may be even more difficult -
Zhen Zidan's arrow wound has mostly healed, and she can ride without any problems. After listening to Zhang Yuan's instructions, she said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir. I understand my humble position."
Twelve of the sixty imperial guards who accompanied him on the mission died. As the Deputy Qianhu, Zhen Zidan was under great pressure. Now he and Zhang Yuan share weal and woe. If North Korea's Lingyang Lord corrects the chaos, he will not be recognized by the Ming Dynasty.
If fighting against the Jiannu horse thieves is considered to be causing trouble, Zhang Yuan, as the ennobled envoy, will certainly bear the main responsibility, and he, Zhen Zidan, is also to blame. He traveled eight thousand miles and fought against the Jiannu thieves, but he should be punished. This kind of
The thing seems absurd but not impossible. We can get a clue from the attitude of Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong. The party struggle between the DPRK and China was fierce. Zhang Yuan was close to Donglin, and he also had quarrels with Fang Ge Lao, Yao Geishi and others. Now Donglin
All high-ranking officials were deposed from the capital, and Zhang Yuan was quite isolated in the court. His political enemies would definitely use this mission to slander Zhang Yuan -
Despite this, Zhen Zidan did not feel that she was being implicated by Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan has his own personality charm. After spending several months together, Zhang Yuan's integrity, wisdom, and lack of arrogance and stinginess made Zhen Zidan sincerely admire him. Eunuch Lu gave Zhang Yuan a gift. Zhang Yuan used all of Yuan's thousand taels of silver and the valuable gifts he received in North Korea as compensation for the casualties of the Jinyiwei. This alone made Zhen Zidan admire him. Moreover, during the attack by the Phoenix Mountain Builders, Zhen Zidan's response to Governor Li That attitude was extremely offensive, so of course I was firmly on Zhang Yuan's side.
Ruan Dacheng also heard the rumors among the people, and couldn't help but lead Donglin away with his spade. Hanshe was isolated, and Fang Congzhe and the other three parties had no scruples in suppressing Zhang Yuan and Hanshe. Ruan Dacheng originally thought that Zhang Yuan was in the most critical period of Dingsi's imperial inspection. He took the initiative to request a mission to North Korea to avoid disaster. It stands to reason that Zhang Yuan should be cautious in his trip, but Zhang Yuan did not do so. Some things were clearly Zhang Yuan's fault. Yuan took the initiative to provoke it, which confused Ruan Dacheng. Zhang Yuan seemed to have expected the outcome of Ding Si's investigation, but why did he act so high-minded?
Ruan Dacheng urged his horse to go parallel with Zhang Yuan, and looked sideways at Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan smiled at him and said: "After eight thousand miles, Yun and Yue, we are finally back."
Ruan Dacheng smiled and said: "Yue Wumu is not something I can do."
When Ruan Dacheng said this, Zhang Yuan remembered that in history Ruan Dacheng actively shaved off Ji and boarded the Mi Mu Jia aluminum to play with the boat⊥ punishment and said lightly: "How can everyone be Yue Wu Mu, and don't confuse right and wrong for 19 Tuo Xiao!?
At the intersection of East Chang'an Street, Wu Ling and Baima detoured through Daming Gate and returned to their house to report the news. Zhen Zidan led more than 40 Jinyiwei captains back to the Jinyiwei Yamen to resume their duties. Zhang Yuan and his entourage entered the Donggongshengmen and came to the Rites Yamen. He, the right servant of the Rites Department, Zongyan greeted Zhang Yuan and the Korean envoy Yu Yan outside the Yimen. Zhang Yuan returned the canonization edict, along with a note on the failure to complete the canonization mission, and a list, which was also handed over to He Zongyan.
Yu Yan reported to He Zongyan in detail the process of restoring order in Korea. He Zongyan did not express his position and immediately ordered a banquet to entertain everyone. Zhang Yuan said in farewell: "Servant He, I am very homesick for your family and want to go home, so I will not drink this wine." Yes, please forgive me, Mr. He."
Ruan Dacheng also stood up to leave, but He Zongyan didn't try to persuade him to stay.
Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites, and saw Zhang Dai, Wen Zhenmeng, and Qian Shisheng waiting under the screen wall outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Dai came up to him with a big smile: "Brother of Jiezi F, it's hard to be on the mission."
Wen Zhenmeng and Qian Shisheng also came to greet Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng. The mission had just passed the Yuhe North Bridge and had already alerted the people in the Hanlin Academy. Zhang Dai, Wen Zhenmeng and Qian Shisheng rushed to the Minister of Rites. See--
Zhang Dai looked at Zhang Yuan carefully and said, "Jiezi, you have really lost weight." Then he looked at Ruan Dacheng and said, "Brother Ji is no longer a handsome man."
Ruan Dacheng said: "It doesn't matter if you are black or thin. If it weren't for Jiezi's alertness, we would have almost died in Liaodong."
Zhang Dai was surprised and asked why. They had heard about the North Korean coup, but they didn't know about the attack on the mission at Fenghuang Mountain. When Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng talked about the fighting that day, they couldn't help but be speechless. They had always read about Confucius and Mencius. I am amusing myself with the paintings, and I only read about the life and death battles before the enemy in books. I didn't expect that Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng met each other, and I thought it was incredible.
"Master—Master—"
"Young Master——Young Master——"
Wu Ling, Lai Fu, Wang Da Chui and Ruan Dacheng's servants arrived. Zhang Yuan raised his hands to Wen Zhen and Meng and said, "I'll invite you to have a drink with me tomorrow. By the way, do my colleagues from the Han Society often get together to give lectures?"
Wen Zhenmeng said: "I dare not give up. We gather at Dalongfu Temple twice a month to discuss matters, rain or shine."
Zhang Yuandao: "Very good, please contact Brother Wen on your behalf. Tomorrow evening I will host a banquet for my colleagues from the Han Society at Yongchang Restaurant on Qipan Street."
Qian Shisheng said: "Of course I will take care of you two."
Zhang Dai followed Zhang Yuan to Lige Old Hutong, and ordered Neng Zhu to go back to the Paozi River to bring Suzhi, her son, and Li Kouer to Lige Old Hutong for a good reunion.
Zhang Yuan asked: "Why don't you invite Liu's sister-in-law too?"
Zhang Dai said: "It's not easy for her to go out. She has to make an appointment the day before. Seriously-" He shook his head and said: "I'll accompany her over in two days. She's such a person."
Very boring."
The two brothers Qi Qi called the school king Zongyue 20 to kill the family of the Shang Yushi.
Going south, I don’t know if 19 has been cut off from the bad magnesium jacket and the 隳酀酀酀戀Huixiu??
Zhang Dai, a member of the Hanlin Academy, reads and practices calligraphy every day, which is similar to the happy days he had before he became an official. Party strife has not affected him for the time being, so he does not feel the urgency of Zhang Yuan. He is only happy that Zhang Yuan has returned safely.
I want to go to Zhang Yuan's house to drink and celebrate.
Seeing the optimistic and cheerful eldest brother Zongzi, Zhang Yuan also put aside his worries for the time being. Worrying about the country and the people these days is boring enough.
It was about the end of Shenshi, the red sun was about to set, and the weather was still very hot in mid-July. Zhang Yuan and his eldest brother Zhang Dai, waving their folding fans, had just walked outside the Daming Gate when their old servant Fu Cheng came to pick them up in a carriage. Fu Cheng smiled happily.
He said: "The young master, the young mistress, Aunt Mu and the two young masters are all waiting for the young master."
Zhang Yuan was anxious to go home to see his wife and children, and did not want to be delayed by greetings with acquaintances on the road, so he and his eldest brother took a carriage and drove through Banqiao Hutong, then crossed West Chang'an Street, and walked to Shichang Street, where they met Mr. Li Ge
Someone was looking at the entrance of the alley, and it was the young boy White Horse. The White Horse shouted: "My aunt is back, my aunt is back." It ran back like flying.
Zhang Yuan got off the car at the entrance of the alley and saw a servant woman looking in front of the golden pillar gate of his small courtyard house, saying repeatedly, "The young master is back, the young master is back."
At this moment, a man suddenly caught up from behind panting: "Meson, meson -"
When Zhang Yuan looked back, it was his teacher Yang Lian, who hurriedly saluted and said, "Teacher Yang is always well. The student has just returned to Beijing."
Yang Lian took out a sweat towel and wiped his forehead, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Meson, I am a prostitute, Mr. Wu Ge."
Zhang Dai smiled and said: "Teacher Yang, it's not too late to ask my brother to go home and see his wife and children before going to visit Mr. Wu Ge."
Yang Lian was impatient and said: "Yu Sheng has been controlling floods for nine years, but he has not entered the house three times." He took Zhang Yuan's hand and left.
