Chapter 418: Hosting justice

8days ago Historical fiction 7
After a long separation, Zhang Ning and Bai Fengjiao had just met. After saying a few words, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that they had to strike while the iron was hot. If it was cold for a while, they would pick up things and change.

I always feel that the gap is very big when I see you this time. Bai Fengjiao no longer feels like she used to be. I wonder if she still remembers the past three years, or maybe she has changed over the past few years.

At this moment, Xu Wenjun found this yard and came into the house after reporting.

After she came in, she looked at Bai Fengjiao quietly. When Bai Fengjiao's eyes came, she bent her knees slightly to meet and salute.

Then Xu Wenjun was stunned for a while, then walked to Zhang Ning and said softly: There is something important in the cabinet yamen. Zhu Butang is asking the prince and ask me to come to the palace to find you.

Zhang Ning didn't show up for a day today, and when he heard this, he was also worried.

And after seeing Bai Fengjiao, I just talked nonsense, feeling boring as if I had nothing to say...

But I always feel that there are still many things to say to her, but I don’t know where to start.

Xu Wenjun happened to come again, so he clasped his fists and said: I'll say goodbye for a while, go to the yamen to see and then visit Miss Bai.

Bai Fengjiao said: If you have something to do, just be busy. I just arrived at the noble place and wanted to take a break.

Zhang Ning then said goodbye and went straight to the cabinet close to Wangjing Gate.It was already afternoon, and all the ministers in the cabinet should be in the six ministries, but today Yang Shiqi and Zhu Heng and others are all in the palace gate.

It turned out that the Ministry of Eunuch sent me an urgent report.

After detailed discussions in Nanzhili, Ningguo Mansion, Chizhou Mansion and Huizhou Mansion received an edict from Nanjing, and local officials were ordered to prepare a large amount of food and supplies.

Just open the rough drawings and you can see them at a glance. These three places are all places in Nanzhili and Jiangxi.

The information is very clear. Only when the imperial court needs to mobilize a large amount of food and grass to the west can it be necessary to prepare a lot of food and grass.

Several ministers sat together and discussed it again, but it was nothing more than a replay of the old tune, believing that the military and horse associations heading south from Datong, Xuanfu, attacked Jiangxi from Nanzhili with the cooperation of the Beijing camp.

After hearing their own statements, Zhang Ning could only make two reactions at the moment. First, he forwarded the information to Jiangxi to Yu Qian and urged him to prepare for defense; then wrote an order in person to the eunuch Xia Changshi, who was in the cabinet, and asked the eunuch provincial governor to send someone to Jiangxi to directly take over the detailed information from Nanzhili, and cooperate with Yu Qian to control the movements of the official army nearby.

He also felt more and more that there would be a new showdown, but now there could be no more solutions.

Most of the elite Yongding Camp of the Vermilion Bird Army were in Jiangxi, and there were tens of thousands of surrendered troops in the Han King Yu Qian, and the east was heavy troops; in comparison, there were only two or three thousand soldiers in the Yongding Camp near Wuchang, and other new troops recruited and formed from various places had exceeded 50,000, but this large number of personnel were still completely ineffective; in Yuezhou, there were two naval and army battalions of Yao Fang and his son, and in Lizhou, there were one battalions of Zhou Mengxiong infantry and cavalry.

However, Zhang Ning is now entrenched in Huguang as his foundation, which is very different from the past situation where there is no need to defend. He cannot transfer all the troops in the west to concentrate on fighting. Otherwise, the Sichuan Army and Xiangyang who are eyeing the covetous Sichuan Army near Jingzhou, Jiangbei and local troops transferred south across the river and into Huguang, leaving him under the enemy from both sides.

Earlier, Zhang Ning and the ministers expected the threats they encountered today, and then reorganized the government agencies, enlisted gentry to issue laws, recruited strong men to expand their military preparations, and other long-term plans.

Now that things are happening, it’s useless to be anxious, so I can only keep my original plan steady.

At night, the cabinet officials stepped forward one after another, and Zhang Ning rode a horse away.

He walked along the north and south avenues on the central axis of the King of Chu Palace. He thought about the situation when he saw Bai Fengjiao in the afternoon, and was still worried, so he decided to see her again.

Unexpectedly, Bai Fengjiao was not here. When she asked the maid, she found out that Concubine Yao had invited her over.

Zhang Ning simply waited for her to come back in the living room in this yard.

Bai Fengjiao's close servant Bai Ju is still there, and she soon came to the living room to serve tea and water to receive Zhang Ning.

I saw that the woman was also wearing their strange clothes, and the ornaments she wore were obviously complicated and looked a little black. In fact, the Miao Jun saw Zhang Ning was relatively black, and the white one seemed to be Bai Fengjiao. It might be because the sun in the Wuling Mountains was relatively sunny, or because of their living conditions and habits.

Zhang Ning talked to her and asked: What's your name?

Unexpectedly, the woman widened her innocent eyes and spit out words from her mouth, which made her unable to understand at all.

Zhang Ning immediately understood that she couldn't speak Chinese?

He immediately pointed at her and said slowly: What is your name?

Then she said two Chinese characters with difficulty: Bai Ju.

You... white chard.Zhang Ning smiled, feeling a little happy, and his previous heavy mood seemed to be much more relaxed.Even if you don’t understand the language, you can communicate easily between people.

At this time, Bai Fengjiao finally came back. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard that King Xiang was coming, so she rushed to the living room.

When she walked under the eaves, she heard a conversation inside. She suddenly felt curious: her close servant Bai Ju is the most trustworthy and able to bring out, but Bai Ju has never been out of Miaojiang and has never had any contact with the Han people. She is illiterate and can't speak Chinese. Zhang Ning shouldn't know how to speak Miao. What are the two of them?

Curious, she stood under the window for a while and listened carefully to what was being said inside.

Zhang Ning's voice said: You say slower and use gestures, otherwise I have no idea what you are saying, or wait for your lady to come back and ask her to interpret it.

Bai Ju also heard Bai Ju say in Miao language: People in Miaojiang say that Han officials have no credit and often turn against each other. You can't lie to us. If you deceive the lady into abandoning her, we will not let you go!

When Bai Fengjiao heard this, she thought to herself that she was the one she had been with her since she was a child and always thought about herself.

Zhang Ning's voice said again: Your lady is quite white, and your surname is Bai, why are you so dark? Do you only take a shower once a year?

Bai Fengjiao rolled her eyes immediately.

Then I heard Bai Ju say: Shiren teaches the lady to serve the gods wizard, but the lady comes to ask you to help her if she doesn't want to.If the lady is not a perfect lady and you can't help, the Shiren Cult will definitely ruin her reputation.

Bai Fengjiao couldn't stand it anymore and walked quickly to the door, and both of them inside turned around.She forced a smile and said: The prince and Bai Ju can't speak, why are they talking?

Zhang Ning said a little embarrassedly: I'm waiting here, and I'll talk to her for a few things... She just said something big, what do you want to say to me?

Bai Fengjiao's eyes gradually faded: Bai Ju said that Shiren Cult will not let me go.Does the prince already know about the Miaojiang Stone People's Education?Although this is a matter within Miaojiang, several major tribes colluded to use their power, and the father was unable to deal with it.The Shiren Cultivation stipulates that women from various families must go to the stone cave to serve the gods before they grow up and talk about marriage, otherwise they will be severely punished in the name of the gods, and King Miao and women in the clan are no exception.If the prince does not send troops to help, or cannot deal with the Shirenzhi, I can only serve him. If he does not go or is not innocent, he will give them an excuse to attack, which will affect the Miao King and the Bai family.

Zhang Ning was silent for a while. If he had heard of such a thing in later generations, he would have thought that he was ignorant and superstitious, but he could not laugh at it at this time.

No matter how unreasonable it is, without external interference in the deep mountains and forests, it can exist, because no one can resist the greatest ruler of the power; even in the Ming Dynasty, if similar tyranny occurs here, who can preside over justice?

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River was flooded and the farmland was surrounded by farmland, which could exist for 80 years; the Qing Dynasty later lasted for 300 years.

He came back to his senses from his thoughts and saw Bai Fengjiao looking at him. His silence made her look disappointed, and there was a glimmer of hope hidden in her disappointment.

Zhou Mengxiong’s Wuchang Camp is stationed in Lizhou to the west. The camp has been training and cultivation for nearly two years, with more than 20,000 troops and well-trained military equipment.

Zhang Ning said seriously, I immediately ordered Zhou Mengxiong to do this.

Bai Fengjiao's oval and white face, with bright eyes, as if she could speak, she flashed with relief.

Zhang Ning felt very happy. Is this for the sake of the overall situation and justice of the great way, or just because of his own personal affair with the beauty?

Even he himself couldn't tell.

He also said: Emperor Jianwen has not issued an edict to grant Miss Bai the second concubine of the King of Hunan, so this matter can be discussed after the Miao and Xinjiang incident has subsided.If Miss Bai doesn't want to stay here, she can go back to her hometown, which will not affect the border affairs. But I have no intention of forcing it to do so based on your wishes.

Zhang Ning's understatement and serious tone was very restrained. Bai Fengjiao felt a dark power. She couldn't help but examine Zhang Ning with a feeling of admiration.

But when the woman was so conflicted, she breathed a sigh of relief, she said with some resentment: I know that the prince has not much, but he has no self, but according to my wishes.

Zhang Ning hurriedly said kindly: This is not the case. If I only follow what I think, of course I want to keep Miss Bai.Do you still remember what happened three years ago?From then on, I was deeply moved by Miss Bai's affection, but I was unable to force it at that time, so I had to give up.

Um.Bai Feng responded softly.

Zhang Ning said: But now our Huguang regime is also worried about destruction. After the imperial court pacified the Han Queen of Nanjing, he naturally would not let Huguang rule. The country controlled one million people on all sides. The number of troops and local soldiers in the Jingying and Xuanda in the north and east has reached hundreds of thousands.The situation of the enemy is strong and I am weak is difficult to reverse for a while. Today's glory and wealth are just a battle that will lead to a flower in the well. I can't even guarantee the safety of my mother and sister. So how can I give you any promises?So you can't force yourself to stay, so you said that you can let your will, and everything is based on God's will.

Bai Fengjiao didn't say anything, but she was already calculating in her heart.

If Zhang Ning didn't say this, she would still be a little hesitant. After all, she was not very used to unfamiliar environments; but at this time she had the urge to share the troubles with him.
