Chapter 427 Zi Feiyu

I once remember seeing some drunk people who lose the behavior that a normal person should do when they get drunk, such as being mentally ill.

Zhang Ning had also been drunk and even had the experience of being drunk to alcohol poisoning; but after he got drunk, he could still clearly realize what he had done and said, and it was not clear that he was confused.

Therefore, he believes that in extraordinary situations such as emotional disorders, people's words and deeds can still be controlled, and cannot be regarded as crazy.

But he gets this sense by himself. Maybe people are different from others, who knows?

Just as there is something to say that if you don’t have fish, you can know the joy of fish.

Yao Ji in front of her was indeed a little emotionally out of control, and it might be understandable that she made such a request.

However, Zhang Ning himself was very sober at this time, and he was not affected at all to the point of losing his mind.

So of course he would not agree to do such an embarrassing thing in such a place, especially in front of Empress Ma, an outsider.

He could understand Yao Ji's hatred and release with his heart; she had told about the bullying she had suffered in the palace and her years of wandering experience, and perhaps Zhang Ning could say that she empathized with it.

But some things belong to her only, and no matter how close people are, they can only truly experience her feelings. How can the narrative imagination be compared with personal experiences?

So Zhang Ning was very sober.

Mother, are you okay?She has been punished. If you can let go, let go. I'll send you back and rest for a while.

Zhang Ning was silent for a long time before saying this.

He did not directly reject Yao Ji, but just didn't want someone like her to be so arrogant because he thought Yao Ji's mind should still be sober.

Yao Ji's hair was scattered, and some dust was stained from somewhere on her cheeks. She was soaked by tears or sweat. But for some reason, Zhang Ning felt that she seemed more real now; her usual appearance, which was too delicate and without any flaws, was really beautiful, but it seemed to be covered with a halo that could not be approached.

Her wide-sleeved silk shirt had two big holes broken, and the bra inside naturally exposed. The skin under the collarbone was as white as cream, and the natural fat arc of the cleavage was very perfect. The two bound white rabbits even supported the bra, as if they were about to burst out. The bra tied up the bra inside well, but after a while, it didn't fall apart, otherwise it would be even more embarrassed.

She is still beautiful under the mess of appearance. Zhang Ning has not lost her mind. If she loses it, it should not be because of her extraordinary emotions at the moment, but just desire.

Zhang Ning's comforting words made the charming expression on her face disappear little by little. Yao Ji already understood that it was a rejection, but this method made her not feel too embarrassed, and she felt much better.

The woman's face was like the sky in May. In the blink of an eye, she had become a little crazy charming with a little bit of madness, and said: What am I...

The jade nose trembled, her breathing was a little heavy, and it seemed that she had become tired after the trouble just now.

Zhang Ning buckled the golden button on his belt, took off his gray top and draped it on her body, pulled the gray clothes on her chest, and said kindly: I'll ask someone to send you a sedan chair to pick you up.

Yao Ji's slender hands gently grabbed Zhang Ning's hand while he pulled his clothes, but he didn't use any force. Zhang Ning gently pulled his hand away and said: Wait for a while.

At this time, I heard Queen Ma's hoarse voice saying: What a pity, I can't see you doing that miserable thing secretly.

Yao Ji ignored it. She might be a little tired.

……

The next day when Zhang Ning went to Fengyi Tower to visit Yao Ji, she had returned to her usual appearance.

Zhang Ning had a meal with her. Her posture was dignified and her manners were elegant and gentle. She had become a noble lady with a very good cultivation, which was completely different from yesterday.

And she can also talk and laugh and talk about small things in life, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Ning also praised his mother and said respectfully, and naturally acted as if nothing had happened. The two were like ordinary mothers and filial mothers and sons.

But there is always a difference when some things happen. He would occasionally think about Yao Ji's body, but he just couldn't show it.

The maid came up to pack up the cups and plates, put tea, vegetables, fruits and snacks, and after leaving, they were the only ones in the room. Occasionally, Zhang Ning had an impulse and wanted to ask her if she had the same thoughts in her heart.

But how could a person behaves so dignifiedly in front of him? Why couldn't he ask such a sudden and rude word...

Afraid of being rejected with justice?

Zhang Ning felt that his heart still had the psychological characteristics of his previous life.

Moreover, he has been upset by all things recently and has a lot of pressure, so he can't do it, so he can save some idle worries.

Zhang Ning thought of something else and mentioned: There is one thing I have been thinking about for many days and want to recall Zhou Mengxiong back to Wuchang.

As soon as Yao Ji pushed a longan away, she immediately put it in the white porcelain plate in front of her and asked quietly: Why do you have such an idea?

Zhang Ning said: Huguang has been threatened several times, and the war in Jiangxi is inevitable. It is the time to use troops, and the Zhuque Army has seriously insufficient troops.The preparations for the new recruits of the Ministry of War of Huguang have been started at the beginning of this year. Now it is about to be August, and it is still far from being used for more than half a year.The six ministries and local governments did not do the perfect job in recruiting troops, and they were able to pass the test.The problem lies in organizing and training people. It is really not easy to train many farmers, handicraftsmen, and the people in the city into an army. In the past, it was easy to become a firearm and soldiers, but they could be trained in two or three months. Now it seems a bit overestimated.I thought, the key is that Wuchang lacks a general who can truly manage the army.Chen Gai, the garrison of Wuchang, was just an armed leader in the mountain village a few years ago. Now it seems that it is really too forced to take charge of the training of tens of thousands of people.

Yao Ji said: Aren’t you always caring about business?This matter is important, why don’t you do it yourself?

Zhang Ning frowned and said: Case decision-making, administration of government and direct military management in the camp are two different things, and I may not be able to do such things well.Some things are simple to think about, but hard to do. Many people can do it on paper how to manage the army. However, in fact, there are many big and small things in the camp, and there are many factors that affect the effectiveness. It is very difficult for inexperienced people to train the army to achieve the expected goals.This matter is urgent, and to achieve success, it is really necessary to have a general with rich experience in the military camp.

Yao Ji said unyieldingly: Your uncle (Monkey Yao) and his son Erlang manage 20,000 to 30,000 people in Yuezhou. Didn’t they start the naval camp again?Can’t you let your uncle go back to Wuchang?

Zhang Ning said silently.

Of course, he understood Yao Ji's concern and wanted to find someone to come back to take charge of the soldiers in Wuchang. Those who have military power here directly affect her and everyone's safety.

Compared to Zhou Mengxiong, she certainly trusts her brother Monk Yao more.

Not to mention Yao Jixin and the Yao family, even Zhang Ning thinks that Monk Yao will be more trustworthy when he comes back.

Although Zhou Mengxiong was his father-in-law, Zhou Mengxiong was a military general of Emperor Jianwen since the Jingnan Campaign. Later, he followed Emperor Jianwen for more than 20 years. He was really worried about many old things.

Now that she thought about it, Zhang Ning also felt that Queen Ma was not a problem. The woman might be scheming but lacked long-term vision. Her best goal for revenge should be to choose Zhou Mengxiong, and long-term management is possible.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Yao Ji showed some worry on her face: Is it really serious?

I have read the files of the Ministry of Personnel. Currently, there are only a few people who are qualified to serve as the commander of the Wuchang New Army. Zhou Mengxiong is the best candidate.

Zhang Ning lowered his eyes. Zhou Mengxiong was born into a military family and received a good military education. He led his troops to fight during the Jingnan Campaign. The "Wuchang Camp" he led in Lizhou was also a new army more than a year ago, but the results were visible. He easily captured important towns such as Changsha last year. Not long ago, the troops were transferred to Miaojiang, and two thousand people were determined by the blink of an eye.Although these battles have other favorable factors, it will never be so easy if Wuchang Camp itself is unbearable.

Zhang Ning continued: The official army that invaded Jiangxi this time was the Datong Army of Xuanfu and the Jingying Army. They were both the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty and had a large number of troops.At present, only more than 10,000 people in Yongding Camp in Jiangxi can rely on. The Han King surrendered the army is unknown. There are no dangerous mountains and rivers to resist the enemy, and the situation is dangerous.A large number of newly recruited soldiers in Wuchang need to form an army as soon as possible, as the potential for subsequent wars on the Eastern Front... In order to avoid a catastrophe, we must make some compromise considerations and decisions.

Yao Ji asked: Can you win?

This time, Zhang Ning did not complain. He remembered the promise he made to Zhang Xiaomei and nodded: I want to give it a try.

Yao Ji bit her red lips and pondered for a while, and said: Then you can do it. If there is a better way to make your uncle come back better than Zhou Mengxiong, I can only say this.

Since Yao Ji did not object too fiercely, Zhang Ning had already made a decision.

……

This matter didn't take much trouble to handle. Zhang Ning discussed it in the cabinet lobby and then ordered it directly.

When the Six Ministers of the Cabinet were formed, the two military generals of Zhou Mengxiong and Yao were the ones who were also in charge of the Shangshu Pavilion, and their status was on par with the other three ministers in Wuchang. It was usually inconvenient for the Xiang King to transfer people to such status to others, unless there was a real reason or openly opposing their colleagues.

Zhang Ning wrote a letter in person and transferred Zhou Mengxiong to serve as the garrison of Wuchang, in charge of the new army camp, and directly asked the Grand Secretary to draft the Zhang imperial edict, and appointed Zhou Mengxiong as the general of the country, and took it to Nangong to build a seal for Jianwen and then you could issue it.

The military power of the Lizhou camp was transferred to General Wuluo Li Wenda. Li Wenda was a relative of Zhou Mengxiong's wife, Li's mother's family. He was a confidant of Zhou Mengxiong, so transferring Zhou Mengxiong back to Wuchang was also equivalent to not seizing his military power in Lizhou.

Zhou Mengxiong has been promoted tangibly this time, and there is no objection.
