Chapter 397 A gentleman loves money

8days ago Historical fiction 7
The afterglow in the sky gradually faded, the officials returned to their own houses, the soldiers changed their posts, and ordinary shops selling goods in the market were also closed.

At this time, Zhang Ning, who had returned to the Chu Palace, would usually sit and chat with Yao Ji, but he would often talk about official affairs.

Today, Yao Ji allowed an Inner Attendant named Xia Yu to come in, and there should be something to say.

The tall Xia Changshi said clearly: Mrs. Bei Zhizhao's intentions, and naturally, people were arranged to do long-term eyeliner in the places where the officials lived.Today, first, the confidant Hou Dahu, the Minister of War, the Minister of War, met a stranger privately. He was about thirty years old, wearing a long robes, looking like a scholar, and a woman with a good appearance. Later, through the eyeliner on Zhu Heng's mansion, he called himself Wang Bin, an official in the Hanwang Mansion in Nanjing, and the woman was his wife.More than half an hour ago, Zhu Heng personally met Wang Bin who had already received the mansion.What I plan is not to be able to explore yet.This is what a humble vocation needs to report.

Zhang Ning nodded to show his knowledge, and then said to Yao Ji: Recently, there have been constant news in Nanjing that the person who secretly met Zhu Heng should be from the King of Han.

Yao Ji smiled and said: So, Wang Bin is here to ask for an official... He is afraid that he will give him beautiful women and have wealth.Ning'er thinks Zhu Butang deserves it or not?

Although in private, she still feels a bit numb to call Zhang Ning like this...

Zhang Ning remembered Zhu Heng's cold-blooded attitude towards women when he was in Shandong, and said: I don't think Zhu Heng is like a lustful person, but it's not clear whether he is greedy for money.

If he doesn't slap his hands, he won't have to take the person to the mansion.Yao Ji reminded gently.

Zhang Ning said: It is also possible that in order to consider the overall situation, Zhu Heng just discussed the progress of Jiangxi in the cabinet today.Several prefectures in northern Jiangxi were in the hands of the Han King, so it would be easier for them to win over relevant officials to take over here.

Will he really have such public intentions as Ning Er said?All the thoughts of Yao Ji.

Zhang Ning said bluntly: A gentleman loves money and takes it with his own way. If Zhu Heng is greedy for such money, I will indeed misunderstand it... The problem of the civil and military officials under the command of the King of Han is not greed for money, but short-sighted eyes and only care about immediate interests. I had a deep understanding when I was in Le'an, Shandong.If Zhu Heng had collected money privately and he was a cabinet minister, he would definitely recommend these people to become officials in Huguang; how could we use such bad things?What is the difference between Zhu Heng's actions and those who only care about personal interests and ignore the overall situation?

Yao Ji nodded and said: We don’t know how to dress for the time being, so let’s see how Zhu Heng does it. This show is interesting.

……

Zhu Heng and Wang Bin drank until late at night. Wang Bin sat at the round table, and called his wife Li to come up to pour wine for Zhu Heng, completely disregarding all the decency.

Wang Bin blushed and shook his head and sighed: I absolutely did not participate in the incident last year (threatening the King of Xiang to return Zhu Heng to Nanjing), but I just couldn't help but talk to Lord Zhu. Now I feel so regretful when I think about it, I wish you could slap me a few times!

Zhu Heng said kindly: We don’t mention the past.

Wang Bin took a picture of the desktop: If you don’t mention it, you will be in your heart. Wang is a straightforward person and is happy to say something... I will punish myself three times first!If you insult me ​​again, I will admit any method!

Forget it.Zhu Heng raised his wine glass and drank with Brother Wang, doing this cup to end those little things in the past.

Wang Bin raised his head to drink, then turned over the wine cup in his hand to signal, and then whispered, "Brother saved some things in Nanjing, but he didn't have time to take them out when he left in a hurry."Fortunately, some of them existed in my uncle (Wang Shishun).As long as we agree here, I will go to Jiujiang... I will stay in the mansion... He mentioned this matter specifically. As long as the matter is done, we will have nothing to do with Lord Zhu... This number will be counted after saying it, and it will be absolutely true.

Wang Bin stretched out two fingers.

both?How many?Zhu Heng asked calmly.

Wang Bin whispered: Wan!White goods.

Zhu Heng laughed a few times, and Wang Bin also laughed with him when he saw this.The woman just lowered her head and poured wine, just pretending that she had seen nothing.

Zhu Heng smiled and said: I have drunk too much tonight. Please rest in the guest room in the mansion. Let’s talk about it in detail after you wake up.

I didn't say nonsense, please reply as soon as possible.Wang Bin said.

Zhu Heng asked again: Why did Brother Wang leave so urgently? What is the situation in Nanjing?

Wang Bin said: Xuan Da’s elite soldiers suddenly arrived in Jiangbei and took advantage of the opportunity to seize Caishiji.The King of Han even transferred several troops to recover, but they were unable to win, and the situation was not good... It's okay, the King of Han was irritable because of this and blamed him for killing people. Many people were cut down for a trivial matter.If I hadn't walked fast and had not waited for the government army to enter Nanjing to punish me, I would have the life to drink with Lord Zhu here?Fortunately, my uncle Wang Shishun has nothing to do for the time being. He is far away in Jiujiang City and has soldiers in his hands. At this time, the King of Han cannot move him...

I see.

Zhu Heng nodded and turned around and said, "It seems that Brother Wang is enjoying his life, so he asked his wife to help him to rest in the room. I have sent several other servants to wait for the order. In the past two days, the wife has taken care of Brother Wang more.

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Bin to reply, he shouted directly: Come, see off the guests.

When the maids came up to see Wang Bin out, Zhu Heng was still sitting next to the messy round table, slowly pouring a glass of wine and drinking alone.

After a while, the housekeeper Hou Dahu was indeed waiting for the housekeeper Hou Dahu to come in. Hou Dahu bent down and said: This person is not good at drinking. I dare to drink two more cups with the master?

Zhu Heng sighed and said: I won’t bother with you if I’m greedy for bad rules and small profits.

When Dahu Hou listened to the wrong words, he hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: Master, he is aware of his words, a villain...

Zhu Heng, who was calm just now, suddenly slapped the wine cup on the table and said angrily: But who do those people think of me?!A girl of unknown origin, 20,000 taels of silver?

The master calms down, calms down... They are simply judged by villains!

Zhu Hengleng said: I am afraid of having the life to collect money but not spend it!The good situation in Nanjing has become like this in two years. These people are just a disaster, and whoever provokes will die.

Hou Dahu could only be timid, but he didn't understand what Zhu Heng was thinking for a moment. When he looked up at him in the space, he saw him rubbing his chin and pondering.

……

The next day, Zhang Ning was still late to the study in the cabinet to check the newly arrived documents.

Yang Shiqi, Zhu Heng and Zheng Qia went into the house together to discuss it. Zhu Heng's eyes were a little dark, as if he hadn't had a good sleep.

Zhu Heng stroked his bearded man with his hands and told him the matter straight away.

After hearing this, Yang Shiqi and others looked surprised. After listening patiently, Zhang Ning also said: There is such a thing.He pretended to have just known, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Hengdao: I have considered it over and over again and did not refuse Wang Bin in person because his uncle Wang Shishun has heavy troops in Jiangxi.Once this person has no way out, he is very likely to turn against the enemy and surrender to the court in order to save his life. If the official army enters an uninhabited territory and advances to Jiangxi, my right side will be completely exposed to the front of the army and there is no danger to defend.Therefore, I think that Wang Shishun must be stabilized at the moment, and that our army's strategy of advancing Jiangxi and at least maintaining Poyang Lake is also imminent.

Zhang Ning nodded constantly.

Zhu Heng said again: I had thought of recommending the candidate to preside over the Jiangxi affairs last night... Yu Qian, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

After hearing this, Yang Shiqi looked at him immediately, but did not express his opinion.

Zhang Ning was really surprised now. He pondered: the eunuch's miniature works were clearly understood in the details of yesterday. If Zhu Heng and Yang Shiqi and Yu Qian met in private, he would not have known it. So he could infer that Yang Shiqi wanted to recommend Yu Qian but was difficult to speak, and Zhu Heng helped but did not rely on political compromise exchanges.

Perhaps before this, Yang Shiqi had intentionally or unintentionally expressed the intention of the alliance to Zhu Heng, and at this time Zhu Heng also tacitly joined Li Baotao.

I'm afraid the reason is not the only one, Zhang Ning thought hard...

If Zhu Heng induces Wang Shishun to surrender and then starts a killing act himself, it will always be a sinister thing; throwing things to Yang Shiqi may not be a bad thing.

Of course, this is all Zhang Ning's own wishful thinking. It is impossible to know what Zhu Heng actually thought about it.

Grant heavy troops to Yu Qian?

This is indeed a very bold thing.

However, the risk is only one thing, whether Yu Qian will betray him, of course he will not. His mentor Yang Shiqi is still an official in Wuchang, and his wife and children are here. A normal person obviously won’t do that kind of thing; and moreover, Yu Qian has no foundation in various departments of the Zhuque Army, so he is not easy for him to do anything abnormal, even a civil servant.

As for the risks of Yu Qian's ability or not, Zhang Ning didn't need to consider it. He believed that a famous minister would not be much inferior.

What does Mr. Yang think?Zhang Ning turned around and asked.

Yang Shiqi said: Since Zhu Butang recommended Tingyi, King Xiang believed that he could accomplish something, and I thought it was appropriate.

Very good, very good.Zhang Ning just said a few perfunctory words and did not make a clear statement.

At this time, he already felt that this could be done, but some small intuitions affected him again, and Dong's humiliating and flushed face suddenly appeared...

People are always influenced by some details.

Many years of experience in making a living seem to say in my heart: When you have the right to make a decision on something, you can make a quick decision; but you should have a sense of the moment when you make a decision. As an adult, you must be responsible for what you do. No one can help you clean up the mess, whether it is good or bad.

At this time, Zhu Heng's words seemed to remind him again. To pacify Jiangxi, the main force of Yongding Camp is the closest to. You can transfer Yongding Camp to travel east, first go to Jiujiang City to take over the defense, and then go south to Dingding Nanchang Prefecture.

Yongding Camp is the elite of the Vermillion Bird Army and the most dependent armed force in Zhang Ning.
