Early the next morning, Zu Dashou and others came to say hello. Chang Yu invited them to have breakfast. During the meal, they chatted casually without mentioning anything about yesterday. However, Zu Dabi was a little crazy. He kept staring at Chang Yu and asked, "Your bodyguards."
Is it true that you are a top-notch expert and are known as the number one in the university?"
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Half truth and half lie"
Zu Dashou also came to wonder: "What is true and what is false?"
"It's true that the number one in the field is true, and the first-class masters are just bragging." Chang Yu laughed loudly, and Zu Dabi was surprised: "I can't tell, sir, can you give me some pointers later?"
Zu Dashou was about to scold him, but Chang Yu waved his hand to show that it was okay, but he did not agree. He just asked: "You fought with Wuzhong, how many moves did you take from him?"
"He's big, he's cunning, and his humble position blocked two of his moves... But if we fight on horseback, he's definitely no match for me." Zu Dabi said forcefully, and Chang Yu laughed: "You two have never fought on horseback, so why not?"
Know that he is no match for you."
"That's true. I'll have to compete with him later." Zu Dabi said, carrying the bowl and going to the yard: "Wuzhong, we will later..."
Zu Dashou smiled bitterly and shook his head. This little eunuch was too high-ranking and he sent this lunatic away with just a few words.
"Are you going to the military camp later?" Chang Yu looked at Zu Dashou and asked.
Zu Dashou nodded: "Strike while the iron is hot. Will the governor also go for a walk later?" Chang Yu shook his head: "I drank yesterday and hurt my heart, liver, spleen and stomach. I feel unwell so I can't stay with you."
"Governor, please rest your body more," Zu Dashou said with a cup of his hands. He looked concerned on the surface, but he was like a mirror on the inside. He had heard that the little eunuch was having fun outside the city yesterday. As for why he didn't accompany him to the military camp, everyone agreed.
Not announced.
After Zu Dashou had breakfast, he went to the military camp again, still accompanied by Shen Jianghu. However, the method of play changed today. Instead of reminiscing about old times in the army, he sent troops out of the city to practice. He probably wanted the old commander to see their current appearance and whether they
Better than ever, of course even more awesome than before. We couldn’t lose face to Wu Sangui, so Shen Jianghu and others performed very hard.
There was a lot of excitement outside the city, but the young eunuch didn't care at all. He and Li Muxian went out in casual clothes and walked around the streets of Ningyuan City to experience the local customs. The last time they did this was before the Ningyuan War.
At that time, there was a raging war, and the whole city was still hunting for spies and assassins, making people panic. But now, although there is no peace in the world, the people in the city are living and working in peace and contentment.
In the shade at the entrance of the alley in the east of the city, Chang Yu and Li Muchian were holding half a watermelon and gnawing on it. They had just bought it from a vendor to quench their thirst and cool down. The pulp was juicy and tasted really good. It was the first time Chang Yu had eaten it after traveling across time.
A watermelon feels quite strange.
"Master Fang, how confident are you that we can use all Ningyuan's troops to attack Jinzhou at this time?" Chang Yu asked casually while chewing on a watermelon. Li Muchian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You asked the wrong person about this. You should ask your ancestors.
Happy birthday, he has been guarding Jinzhou for more than ten years and knows the truth best. In your words, he is a professional player, while a poor player is just a dabbler."
Chang Yu shook his head gently: "I just want to ask you, a dabbler, what your chances of winning are from your point of view."
Uh... Li Muxian pondered for a moment: "Actually, from a humble perspective, we shouldn't choose the best way to maintain the current balance at the moment."
Chang Yu's face was expressionless: "Do you think it's not the right time now?"
Li Muxian nodded: "How can it be a good time when everyone can see it? What's more, the Ningyuan War has only been over for two months and we need to recuperate. If we start the war, it will be suspected of militarism. And as long as we start fighting Jinzhou, there will definitely be too many people."
Ergon divided the pressure and diverted Hauge's firepower from him, which actually helped him."
Chang Yu deeply believed that the common method used by some countries in later generations was that whenever domestic conflicts intensified to a certain extent, they would start a war to divert the conflicts. He got up and walked to the nearby well to get water and wash his face: "So you also Do you think Zu Dashou's steady approach is the most reliable?" Li Muchian hummed: "He is an experienced veteran. He has fought more battles than we have ever heard of. His decision will not be wrong. Logically speaking, he is better than Everyone wants to take back Jinzhou."
Huh... Chang Yu took a long breath: "Our family was impatient and almost stepped on thunder. You are right. How can a good time be a good time when everyone can see it? How can Dorgon's grandson "Can you guard against me?" He said, turning to look at Li Muxian: "Tell me your impression of Zu Dashou."
"Don't be angry, you are too murderous!" Li Muxian frowned and whispered: "People crawling out of the dead are terrifying!"
Chang Yu laughed: "If this were not the case, why would he be allowed to sit outside and guard the country?"
Unknowingly, another day passed by. In the evening, Shen Jianghu came to invite Chang Yu to a banquet. He said that the generals in the army were hosting a banquet to celebrate the ancestor's birthday. After all, Chang Yu had given the banquet the day before yesterday and most of them did not attend.
Chang Yu refused because he had been injured the night before. Shen Jianghu couldn't force it anymore, and maybe he felt relieved. After all, they couldn't let go if the little eunuch was present.
"Drink, laugh, make noise, we'll build the road tomorrow." Chang Yu chuckled and stretched: "Taoist priest Fang is here to play chess..."
In the General Military Mansion of Ningyuan City, an isolated city outside the Pass, Chang Yu and Li Muxian set up a chessboard to catch each other and fight. At the same time, thousands of miles away, guests were also welcomed to the palace of the Prince of Datong.
Distinguished guests come to the door, the kind of distinguished guests that crow crows, royal guards.
I rode several dusty horses into the city at sunset and knocked on the door when it was dark.
The acting king, Zhu Chuan, was confused after hearing the report. Why did Jin Yiwei, the loser, come to visit him? Could it be related to the loans and food and grass?
Unexpectedly, these Jin Yiwei only sent him a letter, a letter written by Chang Yu, the governor of the East Factory.
The letter was written very simply, just a few words: An remembers King Fu, you’re welcome.
"He's going to default on his debt!" Zhu Chuanji roared angrily. The palace chief and the prince were shocked. They picked up the letter from the ground and took a look at it. They were all furious.
Although the letter only contains a few words, it has a lot of meaning.
This is obviously Chang Yu using King Fu of Luoyang to beat Zhu Chuanji. If I hadn't defended Taiyuan, Datong would have been defeated by the bandit army. You will have to be stewed like King Fu, and I will give it to you even if I take your money. The disaster has been eliminated and I didn’t ask you for any hard-earned money anymore. Now you still have the nerve to ask for payment?
What a shameless person. They borrowed money and food and pretended to be a grandson. They couldn't say enough good things and almost emptied the palace. They borrowed it with good intentions and didn't think about asking for interest. As long as they can repay the money, it's no good. It's fine, but now that I see what it means, I don't plan to pay it back at all.
Father, our Dai Wang Palace has never suffered such a loss! The prince was furious, and Zhu Chuanji's eyes were about to spit out fire. The prince was right, the Dai Wang family has not been a good person since the first generation Zhu Gui, and this The scourge has been around for too long. The emperor at that time was many times younger than him and did not dare to do anything to him. As a result, the successive palaces became worse and worse, giving successive emperors a headache. They would not provoke him if they could.
But it happened that Emperor Chongzhen, who was the weakest, even rode on his neck to urinate, and even refused to pay back the money he borrowed!
Is there any justice for this?
"Go to Zhezi and make the matter bigger. Let both the government and the public know what the virtues of the imperial court are. Let's see what the other princes think of it. Let's see who is willing to lend him a grain of grain in the future!" Zhu Chuanji hummed, and the prince also echoed beside him.
.
On the contrary, the palace chief Shi was anxious: "No, no, this matter should be discussed in the long run!"
"I'm sorry, there's no reason in the world for someone to be so renegade and not to go too far, even if he is the emperor!" Zhu Chuanji shouted angrily.
"My lord, if you fall into the trap, both the government and the public will know about it. Although we can use the power of public opinion to put pressure on him, public opinion is a double-edged sword. Our prince's palace will also be notorious!" Chang Shi sighed.
"Notorious? How can you say this?" Zhu Chuanji frowned.
Chang Shi said: "Taiyuan is the gate of Datong. Guarding Taiyuan also helps us guard the gate of the courtyard. People will scold us for being ungrateful. In addition, in the past few months, natural and man-made disasters have caused food losses in the five northern provinces. The court is at a critical moment.
, If we go to ask for the account at this time, it will add fuel to the fire, we will be scolded as inhumane, and if it gets bigger, it will be a royal scandal. If that person loses his face, he will be angry at the Prince's Palace for giving us shoes! "
Zhu Chuanji calmed down a little: "But we can't just let the account written in black and white slip away. It is the palace's savings for several years."
"We can't rush it at this juncture, and we can't make a big fuss. Let's discuss it privately. It was the little eunuch who borrowed it in the first place. Let's go find him and the court and the emperor. No one else will admit it." Chang Shi
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Majesty, you'd better send someone to Beijing to say something nice to them, and maybe they can get some money back."
"If you don't repay the borrowed money and you have to say good things to the bastard, is there any justice?" The prince was furious.
"If we don't say nice things, there's nothing we can do if the little eunuch doesn't admit it."
"I don't believe that the dignified admiral of Dongchang still has this black and white letter on it. By the way, Wei Jingyuan was still there as a guarantee..." Zhu Chuanji suddenly thought of something: "Yes, let's go find Wei Jingyuan."
Let the guarantor ask for help and ask him to go find the eunuch..."
"Prince" Chang Shi couldn't help but interrupt him: "Have you forgotten that after the First World War in Taiyuan, Wang Jimo was stripped of his position as Governor of Xuanda and replaced by Cai Maode, while Wei Jingyuan was transferred to replace Cai Maode as Governor of Taiyuan, so
"It's okay that he still owns one-third of an acre of land in Datong. Now that he has gone to King Jin's territory, if we go to him now, he may not admit it. This matter is muddy and who wants to pour it out?"
"It seems that his transfer to Taiyuan was also a premeditated plan by the imperial court to default on the debt. This won't work, that won't work. We really have to beg that castrated dog. Damn, did he really agree to the sentence that the one who owes money is the uncle?" The prince said
Zhu Chuanji couldn't help but cursed loudly, his face was sullen and his eyes were blazing with anger and he was silent.
"So we have to take a long-term approach," Chang Shi comforted.
