Those who should know have known it for a long time. The scope of the people who should know is not small, but at least, it definitely does not include Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu.
Since returning from Xingtai, the two of them have been preparing for their wedding. Due to various problems and a trip to Xingtai, the wedding date of the two cousins has been postponed from today to tomorrow, and tomorrow to the day after tomorrow, but they must be prepared
However, I had more and more things, and it was only at the end of the year that I felt somewhat free.
Firstly, they no longer have to go to the Imperial Academy to attend school, and they are not interested in going to the Banshan Hall of the Public School to hang out with a group of juniors. Secondly, Zhang Chen was tricked by Zhang Shou into going to the countryside to fight against the fourth prince, so they lost their leader.
, it is inevitable that there is nothing to do. Thirdly, Zhang Shou is too busy and newly married, and the two students who know the most sense of proportion are too embarrassed to disturb him.
But now Ah Liu was suddenly called out of his home by Zhang Shou, and immediately went out of the city to the public school. After hearing Zhang Shou's explanation in the school hall, the brothers felt that they were well-informed and experienced, but they were still stupid.
Eye.
Descendants of Taizu established their country overseas? And they blatantly sent a boatload of people back to claim to be a mission? And they also claimed that there was not just one boat, but a huge mission with eight boats? This is a play, or a legend, not true
Bar?
Zhang Wu, who was more down-to-earth, was confused before meeting, and Zhang Lu, who had always been naughty, frowned. Zhang Shou said bluntly: "The fourth prince will come over later, so you don't have to worry. I will take on the responsibility. You just need to be a good receptionist."
Just use clichés."
Zhang Shoudu made the word "rhetoric" clear and clear, and learned that the fourth prince would also come to take charge. Although they knew that the naughty boy had never been a reliable person compared to the current Crown Prince, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu still
They breathed a little sigh of relief. They were probably used to being people's followers, so of course they were more inclined to follow others in doing things.
The disadvantage is that if there is merit, the big credit belongs to others, and the small credit will fall on them. But the advantage is that they do not have to bear the biggest share of the responsibility, and they will definitely not be the first to top the tank if something goes wrong.
So, in the next few days, Zhang Shou's group of students were all performing their duties. In the most leisurely period before the Chinese New Year, no one was free.
Because of Zhang Shou's previous deception, Zhang Chen, who didn't know what was going on, used his Duke's Palace of Qin as the base camp for the war situation deduction, and even spread the word. Because of Liang Chu and several ministers, he actually attracted a lot of good ministers.
Take the initiative to participate; Lu Sanlang is still discussing with others the difference between investment and financial management and stock-based investment; Zhu Er, Ji Jiu and Zhang Datou, have formed a "deep" friendship with Zheshanjun, although the actual situation is that people treat them like this
The three noble disciples were simply annoyed to the extreme.
After the public school classes officially ended on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Shou sent away Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan, who were already informed and worried, and then personally organized the students to conduct a thorough cleaning inside and outside the school - which happened to be a good time.
Dusting day was a special day. Although he did not inform the fourth prince, he came out of the palace, rolled up his sleeves and worked enthusiastically.
Although most of the time they were just causing trouble. Fortunately, with the help of Xiao Cheng and Xiao Peanut, the two little ones Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaoshui followed the fourth prince, one after the other, Mr. Zheng, making the naughty kid extremely happy.
Therefore, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the school buildings inside and outside had been cleaned up. In order to accommodate the things that the mission should add, the emperor also generously allocated money from his inner treasury, from beds to quilts to various utensils.
They were all neatly purchased. Zhang Shou took the opportunity to buy all the bookcases and suitcases in the student dormitory on a personal basis, making full preparations for the addition of residential classes next year.
Ruiqiying, who arrived in advance to set up defenses, cleaned the street first, so that the neighbors all thought that a big shot from unknown origin was coming to the public school. While the doors of every house were closed tightly, they could not help but peek out through the cracks in the door.
, but all that could be seen was a group of sergeants who were obviously in foreign military uniforms, guarding several carriages as they walked through the street as if facing a powerful enemy.
But when they looked at the style of those carriages, they felt that they didn't look like they were used by noble people at all, because the all-black carriages with black curtains even looked a bit eerie at first glance. However, no one thought that this carriage was used by nobles.
What kind of prisoner should the school use to guard? After all, who dares to trouble the famous Bachelor Zhang on this big holiday?
When they were approaching the public school, the dusty Shanhaiwei sergeant was sandwiched by a group of sharp cavalry battalions, and then there were these black oil carriages at the end. Seeing the carriage drivers driving through the gate in order, the commander at the head couldn't help but feel relieved.
In the cold weather, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Immediately afterwards, he heard a gentle voice.
"It's been a hard journey."
The commander looked around and felt that the dark winter day suddenly brightened up. Although he had long heard about the handsome appearance of the famous Academician Zhang, he really saw with his own eyes that he, a guard who had been in the bitter cold place all day long.
The rough and tumble man in the prison couldn't help but feel that God is unfair, and you can't see this kind of person in the prison.
He quickly suppressed the thought that something could easily happen, and stepped forward to say hello with a smile on his face: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work. It's hard work for the bachelor Zhang who is celebrating the New Year and has to work on this nonsense." As soon as he said this.
As soon as he said it, he realized that his words were too vulgar, but it was too late to make amends.
Zhang Shou didn't care about the foul language at all. After all, he often said words that were not very elegant and did not fit with his personality.
"No matter how busy I am, I am still in the capital, but you have to go back and forth on the road during the Chinese New Year season, which is of course even harder. Did you ask them to change the carriage just now when it was approaching the capital? You escorted Chiyi all the way, morning and night.
, without stopping, so the Emperor is considerate and ordered people to prepare winter clothes for you, and also prepared a banquet in the public school, so you can have a good rest after eating."
The commander immediately thanked him repeatedly, and soon someone came up and summoned the forty Shanhai Guard officers who had closely guarded the so-called important figures of the Chinese mission. Together with the commander, they went to eat the reward given by the emperor.
feast.
And when I saw at the reward banquet that the emperor actually rewarded everyone with royal wine and ten guan of money, even though the charcoal basin in the room was not very warm, I still felt that the journey was not in vain, and my mouth was filled with laughter.
I never stopped expressing my gratitude to God.
As for the Shanhaiwei soldiers who had arranged all the hard work, Zhang Shou saw the circle of Ruiqi battalion sergeants outside the public school who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, but he couldn't help but want to complain. Is this a temporary measure, or is he planning to stay here for how long?
How long can such a large group of guards stay here? This scene is really scary! It’s been a long time, it’s strange that the neighbors don’t regard the public school as a temporary prison!
Thinking about going out to negotiate with the soldiers of the Ruiqi Camp at this time, these guys only care about the emperor's orders and military orders, and don't care about anything else. Not to mention him, even the fourth prince's personal intervention may not be effective. Of course he will not bother
After that, he turned around and returned to his school hall, and asked Zhang Lu to prepare a petition on his behalf. Of course, it was not through the secret box, but through the secret box.
However, he had just arranged Zhang Lu's work and was thinking about how to meet the person who was brought here in the black oil carriage covered by a black cloth, when he heard the clear voice of the fourth prince.
"Teacher, teacher, everyone is here, when are we going to see them?"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at the expectant child, then smiled and hugged his hands and said: "I have just been sent here, and I still have such an attitude as if I am guarding against thieves. It is absolutely impossible to feel relaxed and happy in my heart."
What I have to do next is to let them eat, bathe, and have a good rest, instead of me rushing to see them now."
"We should not be the ones who are anxious now, so we have to stay calm."
Seeing that the fourth prince suddenly wilted, he said with a smile: "Of course, just because I don't go doesn't mean you can't go. Xiao Huahua and Xiao Cheng have already changed their clothes. If you think you are qualified to deliver the food and drinks,
If you want to do some kind of work, then go with them. However, people don’t know that you are a prince. If you are humiliated by others, don’t say that I didn’t remind you.”
The fourth prince was immediately elated, and immediately shouted: "Teacher, you are looking down on me too much. I still know what it means to endure humiliation and bear the burden! Besides, these guys don't have the courage to run wild on my Ming Dynasty's territory! I am so
Just go, teacher, just wait for my good news!"
Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing when he saw the naughty child rushing out like a gust of wind. He caught a glimpse of Zhang Wu's dumbfounded expression and immediately joked: "Why, don't you worry about him? You think it's too much for me to let people out like this."
Are you casual?"
"No, no, no!" Zhang Wu quickly shook his head like a rattle, "I knew that the teacher would definitely arrange for someone to keep an eye on the fourth prince, but I just didn't expect that he would even be willing to do things like a servant. You know, he used to be
The person who has the highest self-esteem is always worried that others will look down on him and His Royal Highness in Banshan Hall."
Because Zhang Wu was eager to defend himself, he didn't even notice that Zhang Lu was trying to wink at him, so he just said what was in his heart. When he realized that there was something wrong in his words, Zhang Shou looked at him with a half-smile.
He said: "This mentality is normal. After all, when he and His Highness the Crown Prince were in the palace, they were really bullied by their two brothers. The situation is similar to yours."
Mentioning the old things again, Zhang Wu looked a little unnatural, but Zhang Lu quickly lowered his head to hide the emotions on his face. The next moment, Zhang Lu, who was racking his brains to write an article on Zhang Shou's behalf, heard that Zhang Shou sent Zhang Wu also
A task.
"The fourth prince will take Xiao Cheng and Xiao Huahua to do the servant work in person. You should also work hard and go to the Shanhaiwei soldiers. Come entertain them for me and say a few nice words. If you can..."
"Use all your skills to get them drunk!"
Seeing that Zhang Wu agreed immediately, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "However, you don't need to pry out any information from them. You just need to ensure that everyone has enough to eat and drink. If anyone asks you about anything, just tell yourself.
As long as he is the future prince-in-law. The future prince-in-law personally comes out to entertain this kind of thing, which is enough for them to brag to others for a lifetime!"
As Zhang Shou said, when they learned that Zhang Wu was the future Princess Deyang's consort, everyone from the commander of Shanhaiwei to the soldiers below was excited, so Zhang Wu made a toast casually, and they drank with their necks raised.
It sounded completely unambiguous. After three rounds of drinking, more than half of the people on the two tables were drunk.
Fortunately, they had all eaten Haisai for a while, which was enough to fill their stomachs. As one of them got drunk and was taken down to rest, only the commander was still holding on. However, in the face of Zhang Wu's attentiveness
After trying to persuade him to drink, he seemed to be unable to hold on anymore in the end, so he had to grab Zhang Wu's sleeve, and asked in a lowered voice with a hint of drunkenness.
"Prince-in-law... Prince-in-law, I have something I don't know whether to ask or not, but I really can't hold it in!" Seeing Zhang Wu smiling and nodding, with an expression that said you might as well ask directly, he stepped forward.
Go and ask word for word, "If we get drunk and fall asleep, will we be unable to sleep immediately?"
Zhang Wu was immediately confused by the question. After a long while, he finally realized what the other person meant, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded. Having drunk too much, he simply said bluntly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Everyone in Shanhaiwei knows about this, right? Can you keep it a secret? If you want to kill people and silence them, I can just send someone to receive you. Why do you need me to come?"
"It's because of you that the brothers will relax their vigilance. Otherwise, why would we drink so much just now!" The commander narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he still smelled of alcohol, the drunkenness was gone. Seeing Zhang Wu in confusion.
He frowned, his drunken state could not be faked, and he couldn't help but become suspicious.
Is it really not that his immediate boss deliberately wanted to frame him, and he himself was too suspicious? However, it is really a big deal that Emperor Taizu left any descendants when he founded the country overseas, especially
There was actually such a group of guys claiming to be envoys who came from Shanhaiwei to Beijing in a swagger. How could he not be worried?
Zhang Wu really drank too much at this moment. Seeing that after he told the truth, the commander still seemed unwilling to give up, so he said angrily: "Besides, you guys don't think it's a big deal.
My teacher and mistress, as well as the elders and other senior officials in the court, and probably my father and other nobles, all know the secret already!"
"The fire can't be contained in paper. If we really want to kill people and silence them, why not just massacre Shanhaiwei on just one ship? And take the capital with us? What are we thinking about? It's just like me before, I always feel like watching
Everyone wants to harm me, but now that I think about it, it’s really what the teacher said is paranoia of victimization! When you are useless, your family doesn’t even bother to look at you, but when you are useful, everyone wants to look at you..."
Hearing Zhang Wu talking and starting to complain incoherently about his own affairs, the commander really confirmed that the would-be prince-consort was really drunk. He saw him burping wine and throwing a drink on the table.
Lying down, thinking about what would happen if his words and attitude were revealed, he finally started to sweat on his forehead.
And at this moment, he heard a leisurely voice coming from outside: "How about it, you shouldn't worry about it now, right? You, a general who has torn apart tigers and leopards, are still worried about ending up because of such an unknown true or false thing?"
Not sure?"
Zhang Shou, who came in unhurriedly from outside the door, saw the conductor jump up suddenly, take two steps toward him, then stop, then look around, it was very unnatural, he smiled and said: "If you still don't
Don’t worry, I just sent a student to draft a letter to the emperor. If you don’t want to run back to Shanhaiwei in the cold weather, how about you stay here and help guard the school for a few days? "
Faced with this unexpected proposal, the apprehensive commander was overjoyed and immediately shouted without thinking: "Okay!"
