Seeing the figure of the commanding colleague disappear at the gate, Zhang Jin's face gradually turned cold.
"The local governors are really getting more and more arrogant now. When the Jin Yiwei is handling the case, they actually dare to leave us out in the cold." A school lieutenant was dissatisfied and vented loudly.
"Supporting soldiers to respect themselves, but having no regard for the imperial court. This crime is most suitable to be placed on Daning Dusi."
"Celebrate your birthday, celebrate your birthday, talk about discussing military affairs. Are all these visitors more important than our royal guards?"
"If we find something to do with Daning Dusi this time, we must deal with them properly."
When one person spoke up, there was another one. Everyone vented their dissatisfaction.
"Shut up, everyone." Zhang Jin shouted, "The Commander-in-Chief of Daning Dusi is a second-rank military attache of the imperial court. The commanders of the guards under him are also third-rank military attaches of the imperial court. I am here to celebrate my birthday.
If you pull out any one of them, his official rank is higher than that of a thousand households, what are you yelling about here?"
Baoding Prefecture had already failed, and Zhang Jin did not want to gain nothing in Daning Dusi.
Although I am extremely dissatisfied with Daning Dusi's neglect, this is their territory after all, and any complaint may become a reason for the other party to refuse to cooperate with me.
In the past, the Jinyiwei branch was the dominant one. When handling cases outside, they stood aloof and others had nothing to say.
But now, with Dongchang's suppression, Jin Yiwei's name is no longer as resounding as before. It is no longer possible to use the three words "Jin Yiwei" to make the other party surrender.
Especially a powerful military organization like Daning Dusi should lower its profile and seek cooperation from the other party.
What useful information I can bring back this time is directly related to the further improvement of my status in Jinyiwei. There is no room for any more mistakes and mistakes.
"But, this Daning Dusi is going too far, just making us wait like this?" A captain defended in a low voice.
"What's wrong with waiting? Are you still going to let Daning Dusi hold it in the palm of your hand?" Zhang Jin said coldly, "Today is different from the past. I have to put all these complaints in my stomach."
After being scolded by Zhang Jin, everyone stopped talking. The entire living room fell into an awkward quiet scene.
More than an hour later, the banquet in the Daning Dusi Courtyard gradually came to an end. The military attachés who were stationed far away stood up one after another and said goodbye to Wang Zheng one by one, thinking of rushing back to their station before dark.
Looking at the courtyard that already seemed a little empty, Wang Zheng turned his head and looked at the commander of the capital who was greeting the guests: "Where have you arranged for those Jin Yiwei people? Take me to meet them."
"It's a small barracks just outside the Dusi Yamen. I will take you there right now." The commanding officer responded hurriedly.
After walking out of the door, Wang Zheng stretched out his arms and stretched his waist a little: "I've just gotten drunk now. It would be perfect if I could get some sleep. Jin Yiwei is like a candy, always looking for clues to investigate cases.
, I really don’t know what they can find out this time.”
"Of course they can't find anything." The commander on the side said with a smile.
In the small barracks, Zhang Jin was sitting at the table, feeling restless and constantly looking towards the gate of the small courtyard.
The tea on the table had been added with hot water many times, and the color had become very light.
The captains sitting next to the wall all lowered their heads listlessly, wondering what they were thinking.
What's more, he actually dozed off with his back against the wall. Occasionally, a slight snore made Zhang Jin frown even deeper.
"Dusi is busy with affairs, so Lord Jin Yiwei has been waiting for a long time." At some point, Wang Zheng had already walked in from the door and stepped onto the threshold of the living room.
Zhang Jin was startled by the voice. He quickly raised his head and saw that the other party was wearing a gorgeous second-grade military attache court uniform. Behind him was the commander of the Daning Dusi who had greeted him before. He hurriedly raised his fists and said, "Your Excellency must be the Daning Dusi. Your Majesty, your command is here? I am Zhang Jin, a thousand households in front of the Jinyi Guards. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you."
"It turns out to be Zhang Qianhu." Wang Zheng smiled faintly and politely returned the greeting with cupped fists. "The Jinyi Guards are working for the emperor. They came to our Daning Dusi. How could they bother us? It's just that this is a subordinate guard station of Daning Dusi. Most of the commanders have arrived, and I took this opportunity to discuss the next military plan of Daning Dusi with them. I feel ashamed that I have made you all wait here for too long."
"Your Excellency is busy with military affairs, so it is appropriate for me to wait here. After handling the military affairs, Your Excellency rushed over without stopping. My subordinates admire your Lord's pragmatism. The army of Daningdu has strong soldiers and horses, and its combat effectiveness is very different from that of your Lord." Everyone is personally involved in everything, and strict requirements are inseparable. It is really a blessing for me to be a great Ming Dynasty." Zhang Jin missed the opportunity and patted the horse's butt.
"Zhang Qianhu was joking. Daning Dusi is well-trained and has strict military discipline. This is the result of the strict requirements of each guard. It is not my alone's credit. Zhang Qianhu sat down and talked." Wang Zheng smiled and pointed. The chair behind Zhang Jin.
"Sir, please take a seat." Zhang Jin stood still until Wang Zheng slowly sat on the chair opposite him, then slowly put his buttocks on the edge of the chair.
"Today is my fiftieth birthday. I didn't want to celebrate it at first, but the commanders of the guard post below were making a fuss and insisted on celebrating it. I couldn't resist them, so I just did it casually and arranged military affairs. I originally thought about it. The brothers of Jinyiwei specially opened a banquet. One of them came all the way, and it was very hard to travel and travel. The two of them also shared my joy. But we had already eaten on the way here, which made me suddenly excited. Don’t know what to do.”
Wang Zheng smiled and talked about his original intention.
Zhang Jin hurriedly stood up and bowed to Wang Zheng: "I didn't know that the Commander-in-Chief was celebrating his birthday. I came out in a hurry and didn't have anything handy. I will report it to the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei when I turn around and prepare. An expensive birthday gift for you, sir."
"Zhang Qianhu said something serious, sit down, sit down and say." Wang Zheng was stunned and waved towards Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin nodded and sat down slowly.
"The ancients said that one knows destiny at fifty. Now that I am fifty, I have passed most of my life. Being loyal to the emperor and filial to the people is the mission given to me by God. Gifts or not are just some thoughts. Zhang Qian I have already understood your wishes. As for the gift, Jin Yiwei will not spend any money. He will not even eat a birthday banquet, so there is no reason for me to accept this birthday gift." Wang Zheng laughed.
It seems to be self-deprecating, but in fact it is an accusation against Jin Yiwei.
Now that I'm here, you don't even want to eat a birthday banquet. It's obvious that you don't take me seriously. Or is my birthday banquet not worthy of entertaining Qianhu and the school captain of Jinyiwei?
Zhang Jin was stunned and couldn't help but feel secretly vigilant.
Logically speaking, most of the military attachés in the imperial court are straightforward and don't have too many twists and turns.
But why did the other party's words push him into a passive state?
Is it a fault not to eat?
While panicking, Zhang Jin's mind was spinning and he stood up again in a hurry: "My lord, I really misunderstood. My subordinates rushed over from Gu'an County early in the morning, and when they arrived at Baoding Mansion, they were already hungry. Thinking about the busy business ahead,
, just ate some casually at the joint."
"Since we have already eaten, I will definitely not be able to eat much at your birthday banquet. If there is a table full of food left, I am afraid it will be called a waste of food. Whether it is to you or to Jin Yiwei, the name of wasting food will always be
Not nice."
Wang Zheng nodded: "What Zhang Qianhu said makes sense. Although the people today have solved the problem of food and clothing, there is not much food left at home. If the entire table of food is thrown away like this, I can't stand it myself."
"Your Excellency is wise." Zhang Jin echoed without losing any opportunity.
"By the way." Wang Zheng raised his head and looked at Zhang Jin, "Zhang Qianhu said, you guys came here from Gu'an?"
"Sir, my subordinate stayed in Gu'an County for two days. He set off from Gu'an this morning and came to Baoding Prefecture." Zhang Jin said.
"Did Zhang Qianhu come all the way along Dongchang's route to trace the prince's whereabouts?" Wang Zheng said with an exaggerated expression, "Zhang Qianhu suspected that Dongchang was not handling the case well and was afraid of leaving any omissions, or that Jin Yiwei had something
Any other plans to ask Zhang Qianhu to clear up the case again?"
Zhang Jin's expression did not change, and he was shocked.
How could the commander of Daning Dusi speak so sharply and openly? How should I respond to your words like this?
