In Wuchang City, according to the advice of the Chief Minister Yang Shiqi, the office office of the cabinet yamen has moved into the Wangjing Gate of the King of Chu Palace.
A house that was originally extremely inconspicuous in the palace, after approaching the foyer, there is a lobby on the front, with twenty or thirty rooms and buildings at the back.
The house has been redesigned.
The statue of Confucius is enshrined in the lobby, with seats on both sides; it is still very different from the lobby of ordinary government officials. The biggest difference is that there is no seat on the superior throne, and whenever the matter is discussed, both princes and ministers will sit on both sides.
This is Zhang Ning's low-key approach. If he sits on top and there are ministers below, what is the difference between worshiping him and worshiping him on court?
There is a two-story building behind the lobby, with archives and study rooms.
The days are gradually entering May, and the heat of summer is already very obvious. Various insects are noisy among the green leaves and are bitten by mosquitoes from time to time.
When Zhang Ning walked slowly through the corridor of this house, he accidentally realized that it is usually very difficult for people to enter the Chu Palace. If the center moves further to the deep palace, the several ministers in the cabinet will become more and more important.
He had just returned from the lobby in front and gathered with several cabinet ministers in the lobby for a joyful meeting, about the good news sent from Jiangxi.
As soon as Yu Qian led his army to Jiujiang City, he used Rayli methods to determine this important city, killed Wang Shishun, and hundreds of people below, and recruited tens of thousands of Han Wang's army, quickly controlling the situation around Jiujiang.
Then Yu Qian boldly used the newly incorporated Han Wang Army to select the coalition forces of the Zhengzhuang and Yongding Camp to form a force to force Nanchang, the capital of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration, and went down in three days.
In Nanchang, Yu Qian reported that the entire Jiangxi area could be settled, and it was expected that many cities would surrender without fighting.
After conquering the city by force, Yu Qian was also a good means to win over and unite the local literati. He was not only from a Jinshi, but also from Jiangxi, so he could easily win the trust of local officials and people.
The situation of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the General Office is very good.
The cabinet's main purpose is to express its merits for Yu Qian and discuss how to reward him.
Several cabinet ministers in Wuchang naturally like to hear such things: Yang Shiqi doesn’t need to say that he has a teacher-student friendship with Yu Qian. Yu Qian recommended by Zhu Heng, and Zheng Qia would not have any objection if he was unwilling to make a grudge with Yang Shiqi and others.
However, there were two other letters in Zhang Ning's study, which were letters from the exchanges between Monk Yao and Zhou Mengxiong, and they all mentioned Jiangxi.
The two are military generals and also serve as cabinet ministers. This time their attitudes are surprisingly similar, and they both criticize Qian.
Outside Jiujiang City, Han Wang Shishun and hundreds of people were lured to death.
Yao Zhou and the other two believed that it was a mistake and would bring great trouble to the future persuasion of other generals.
Zhou Mengxiong even bluntly stated that the tens of thousands of Jiujiang Army were directly incorporated into a situation where the main force was too big to control, which implied that Yu Qian ignored the general intention of the Zhuque Army.
Without the need for Yao Zhou and his two slander, Zhang Ning did not absolutely trust Yu Qian, but at the moment, of course he can only reward him according to the truth, not the other way around.
Otherwise, if a minister has achieved great achievements outside and the superiors who are later persecuted because of suspicion, wouldn’t it be the deceased Lord’s actions? How can I explain it to the world?
Since Zhang Ning decided to use it for Qian, he was destined not to treat him like this.
……
A few days later, the generals from the pass reported that the King of Han was sent to Wuchang.
The cabinet yamen in the palace of the Chu King handled this matter and first elected Liang Yan, an official from the Ministry of Rites, to be responsible for receiving the envoys, because the envoy reportedly was Wang Changwen, the left chief of the Han Palace, and according to the law, he was the fifth rank of the regular and the reception was completely ritual.
Wang Changwen was first settled in the former prosecutor's office and was investigated and investigated. It has been confirmed that although this person was surnamed Wang and was from the King of Han, he had nothing to do with Wang Shishun's family who was killed in Jiujiang.
However, although this person is only at the fifth rank, he is indeed a true confidant minister by the King of Han. Before Zhu Gaoxu started his army, he was the chief official in charge of all matters in the royal palace.
The dukes in the cabinet have already guessed that the confidant sent by the Han King had no choice but to ask for help.
But Wang Changwen did not explain what the specific statement was, but just kept urging Liang Yan, who was receiving him, to arrange a meeting with the King of Xiang as soon as possible.
Zhang Ning finally agreed to meet Wang Changwen.
One morning, Wang Changwen was taken to the Palace of Chu and went to the cabinet lobby to meet King Xiang.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Zhang Ning sitting in the upper position on the left, as if he was on par with the ministers. Wang Changwen was a little surprised. But when he thought that there was an emperor in name in Huguang, and the prince could only be a minister, he could barely figure it out.
When Zhang Ning saw Wang Changwen for the first time, he remembered someone he knew a long time ago: Wu Yong.Although he doesn't look like him, it's probably because Wang Changwen also looks white, fat, wide and kind.
Wang Changwen ignored Zhang Ning's seat face and knelt straight on the ground: The minister bowed to the King of Hunan.
Zhang Ning made a helping move: I'll be exempted, so I'll get up and talk.
Wang Changwen couldn't get up, and his expression suddenly became sad when he spoke: I beg King Xiang to send troops to rescue my Han King as soon as possible... The official army broke through Caishiji months ago, and Xuan Dabing's various troops swarmed across the river from the gap. After dozens of battles in January, our army was defeated, and Nanjing was almost an isolated city in danger.
This situation has become so happening, how can I save each other?Zhang Ning blurted out.
Wang Changwen said: I heard that one of the elite soldiers of King Xiang was already in Jiujiang, and he killed the rebel general Wang Shishun and collected all his troops. There were tens of thousands of soldiers who could fight in Jiujiang. As long as the King of Xiang gave an order, Jiujiang troops would be transferred eastward and the siege of Nanjing was expected to be lifted...
After hearing this, Zhang Ning looked at each other with Yang Shiqi and others, as if they knew each other's thoughts: Why should we take the risk of going deep into the rescue of the King of Han?
Wang Changwen kowtowed a few times and continued in a hurry: In the past, King Xiang regarded Jianwen as orthodox, and the ceremony was different from my king, but in fact they had always been at peace and had echoed each other, corresponding to the northern army of the court, because King Xiang and King Han knew that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold.Now the King of Han is in danger. Once Nanjing falls into the east, it will be pacified by the court. At that time, the official army goes up along the river, and Huguang has no danger to defend; the King of Xiang has no echo barrier in the east, and can only deal with the imperial army alone, which is in danger.If you are willing to protect the King of Han, there will be no harm.
Zhang Ning shook his head and sighed: Wang Changshi is right, but we have been able to save him, so why should we wait until now?What you said is that we killed Wang Shishun and took over his troops, but Wang Shishun took the initiative to send his nephew Wang Bin to Wuchang to surrender. We have helped the King of Han kill this person. This matter is based on evidence, not because of my slander.Even if we didn't kill Wang Shishun, he would not lead his army back to Nanjing to storm himself.
Yang Shiqi also echoed: Jiujiang soldiers lost their commander in a new chaos, and their morale was unstable; the Zhuque army in Jiangxi was too small, and they were defeated by Xuanda's elite soldiers.Moreover, the various parts of Jiangxi have not yet been stable, and many places have not surrendered yet. The recruitment of military rations and supplies is not effective. If our army advances from Jiangxi, it will not be stable.Nanjing has become an isolated city. Our army has rushed thousands of miles in a hurry, and we also need to deal with the Xuanda elite soldiers on the periphery first. We cannot rescue the main city of Nanjing in time... The current situation is really powerless.
I have always heard that the Suzaku Army in Huguang is good at fighting, but the Beijing camp is not an enemy. Today, the prince and the prince are sitting there and watching, and they must not be unwilling to do so!
Wang Changwen's face turned red and he was excited. If the prince did not agree to send troops, his subordinates would have no face to go back to meet the King of Han. Today he would die in this lobby to repay the prince's kindness for his goodwill...
He didn't just say it, but then stood up and didn't bully Zhang Ning, but turned around and walked towards a pillar.
Seeing this, Zhang Ning hurriedly called the guards at the door: Hold him quickly.
When Wang Changwen saw the guards enter the door, he was in a hurry and instead accelerated his pace and rushed towards the pillar.
It was too late to stop him when the incident happened. He heard a bang and he actually hit the pillar with his head, leaving a blood mark on it, and the man fell down.
Even Yang Shiqi and other old ministers stood up from their seats in surprise.At this time, the guards walked to Wang Changwen, but there was no need to pull people, so they had to turn them over and see if they were dead.
Call the doctor to come and save him.
Zhang Ning hurriedly ordered, and then walked to the pillar to see the people.
There was a rainbow on Wang Changwen's white forehead, and blood was still flowing, but his eyes still moved, and it seemed that he had not hit him to death.
Yang Shiqi and Zhu Heng and others also surrounded him. Yang Shiqi frowned and said: We treat each other with courtesy, and the King of Hunan will also meet him in person. How can Wang Changshi do this?If we die in Wuchang, wouldn’t we say we are mean to others?
Wang Changwen woke up quietly, regardless of the other people's talk to him, and acted as if he wanted to get up and hit the pillar again. Of course, he couldn't succeed this time, and there were many people around him.
The guard pressed his arm and refused to move. Then Zhang Ning advised with kind words: You were sent to Wuchang by the King of Han to be immigrant to Wuchang, it was nothing but the King of Han forced him to seek medical treatment.If you were in Huguang, would you send troops to rescue Nanjing?No one would have done that!It is a foregone conclusion that the defeat of the Han King in Nanjing City is a failure. You, Wang Changwen, cannot change it if you are the only one of you. Instead of doing this, it is better to stay in Huguang to find another way out. How about it?
Wang Changwen calmed down a lot, and then said weakly: I appreciate the kindness of the prince...
After hearing this, Zhu Heng said: Wang Changshi often lives in the inner palace of the King of Han. I didn’t have much contact with you before, but today I really admire you very much.If the King of Han was surrounded by people like Wang Changshi, and the great situation of landing the river and tying hundreds of thousands of troops, how could it be today?
At this moment, a gray-bearded doctor was brought in by the guards.Zhang Ning waved his hand: Wang Changshi should have no worries about his life, you can carry him down and prescribe medicine for treatment.
The guards were busy sending people to find a stretcher again. Once they met the envoy's business, they ended in a mess.
Finally, Zhu Heng gently reminded everyone that the situation should be clear: Southern Zhili will soon fall into the hands of the Northern Army, and we have to make arrangements early.
A house that was originally extremely inconspicuous in the palace, after approaching the foyer, there is a lobby on the front, with twenty or thirty rooms and buildings at the back.
