Daming kill

Chapter 208 Chapter [-]
When the festivities in Fuchi dissipated in the silence of the night, Yang Ming was still drinking with a beautiful woman in his arms in a goulan in Anqing (the most common name for romantic places in the Ming Dynasty).

He was very relaxed and comfortable, not at all trembling like the last time he went to Jiujiang.

He only arrived in Anqing yesterday, and he made a special trip to report victory to Zuo Liangyu.

Although he came quite late and the news of Qizhou's recovery was already widely known in Anqing, Zuo Liangyu didn't leave him alone like he did in Jiujiang. Said that Li Ping would be greatly rewarded.

Then, all the people who saw Yang Ming were no longer the indifference and fear of avoiding him when they were in Jiujiang. Everyone was very polite and enthusiastic.

Of course Yang Ming knew why.

Fang Guoan has been dismissed by the imperial court and made an official, and Li Ping has won a brilliant victory in Qizhou despite the defeat of the government and the army. Everything is very different.

People are always realistic.

Although Li Ping's explanation for not being in a hurry to report victory was that it was luck to conquer Qizhou, but it was just that the thieves had gone west with their best talents.At present, our army is weak and the bandit army is strong. The bandit army may and has the ability to recapture Qizhou at any time.

If you are in a hurry to report victory, there may be a big joke that the messenger arrives but Qizhou is lost, and it is easy to make the commander-in-chief report the victory and become a laughing stock.Therefore, we dare not easily claim victory when we have not secured Qizhou.

Yang Ming didn't believe Li Ping's argument, but he wasn't worried either.

During this period of time, as a scholar who has touched the edge of the upper class, with good IQ and cognitive ability, he has already felt that Li Ping treats Zuo Liangyu indifferently.

At the same time, Yang Ming has long understood the meaning of strength, he is even more aware of Zuo Liangyu's reality, and he even knows that the civil service system is generally dissatisfied with Zuo Liangyu. It is impossible for Zuo Liangyu to have trouble with Li Ping at this time.

Sure enough, Zuo Liangyu not only readily accepted the explanation conveyed by him, but also praised him happily.

At present, Yang Ming continues to stay in Anqing to learn about the information of all parties, and also to wait for the reward from Zuo Liangyu.

Just as he was about to contemplate a poem to enjoy himself, the door of the room was pushed open without warning, and He Zhuzi, the head of the military supply department of the logistics department who came to Anqing with him, burst in from outside with a red face.

This place was an appointment between the two of them.

Yang Ming pushed the woman in his arms away and let her go out to avoid it for a while, then looked at He Zhuzi with a smile.

But He Zhuzi only took one look at Yang Ming, and focused his attention on the woman who was leaving her with bright eyes. Then he sat down and drank a glass of wine with his head up. stuttered.

"Have you finished your business?" Yang Ming asked after waiting for the door to be lightly closed for a while.

"It's done, it went very smoothly. Madam Zuo also met me in person and said a lot of words of encouragement. She seemed very happy." He Zhuzi said vaguely with his mouth full of food, without even raising his head.

He Zhuzi was ordered to give gifts to Zuo Menggeng's wife this time, and he brought a lot of filial piety. Li Ping planned to continue to maintain this line.

He Zhuzi's actions made Yang Ming raise his eyebrows fiercely, and his face, which was so flushed and indistinguishable from being drunk, also changed a little, but only for a moment, and then adjusted back to enthusiasm and kindness.

Yang Ming is the head of the Propaganda Section of the Teaching Office. Although he is at the same level as He Zhuzi and has a scholar background, his qualifications are quite different from He Zhuzi's. The celebrities around Ping have long-standing personal relationships.

This made Yang Ming look down on He Zhuzi who was a clerk, and no matter how unaccustomed He Zhuzi was to his rudeness, he dared not show it.

He said with a smile on his face: "Oh? The wife of the deputy commander showed up in person. It seems that your trip was worthwhile. The general will be very happy."

He Zhuzi raised his head, looked at Yang Ming and grinned lightly.

Then, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and proudly said: "The general is happy to be appointed. I have done this job not once or twice. The deputy commander's house is well-versed inside and out. I will do this. The general is the last Don't worry. If it wasn't for me, Mrs. Zuo might not be willing to show up."

"Brother He's ability, I have heard about it for a long time, and I have always admired it very much. Come, let me toast you." Yang Ming raised his glass and complimented him.

He Zhuzi only has a name but no words. This is the first time Yang Ming used the name "He Brother". In the past, it was usually called by Assistant He and Section Chief He.And it's normal for them to call each other their titles.

He Zhuzi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Yu...Brother Yukun, I can't help it. How can you toast me, I need to toast you. Not to mention that you are older than me, if I used to be with you You are not qualified to sit at the same table as a great talent like you. Moreover, this time when you come to Anqing, the general also decided that you are the master and I am the deputy, so we can't mess up the priority."

"That's the point. You and I have not been in contact for a day or two. You should know that I am not that poor. There are no outsiders here. We should only talk about friendship, how can we talk about other things? Besides, I am older Can't I toast you with a glass of wine?" Yang Ming pretended to be dissatisfied.

A smile quickly covered He Zhuzi's face, and he said happily: "Brother Yukun, I like to listen to you, much better than some people. You can look up to me, He Zhuzi, and I will recognize this brother. In the future, just talk about it That is, the younger brother must do his best."

After finishing speaking, He Zhuzi drank the wine in one gulp, filled it up immediately and respected Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was also overjoyed.

The two immediately came and went, complimented each other and drank.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Yang Ming suddenly changed the subject and said, "Brother He, did the guards follow?"

He Zhuzi glanced at Yang Ming with a smile, and said, "Of course. Don't worry about this matter. I'll let them go back after coming out of the deputy commander's mansion. Everything has been sent out, and they don't need to work hard anymore." We are alive, and now no one in Anqing City dares to trouble us. They also know that it is inconvenient to disturb our communication, so they don't suspect him. Tonight, Brother Yukun, just have fun."

"That's good, that's good. In this case, brother Laohe will have to worry about it!" Yang Ming said happily.

"I'll take care of things, don't worry." He Zhuzi assured, patting his chest.

Of course, Yang Ming and He Zhuzi had special funds to come to Anqing to do business, and the fees were quite generous, including communication expenses.In this regard, Li Ping is not stingy.

However, although the expenses are generous, they are limited to social use and necessary travel expenses, and cannot be used for personal luxury and enjoyment.Although the review is not strict, when you go back, you have to explain the whereabouts of the expenses to the financial department.

Moreover, although Yang Ming is the chief envoy, he also has the right to decide how to spend the money, but the money is controlled by the deputy envoy He Zhuzi.Generally speaking, He Zhuzi pays the bill if you want to spend. In special cases, you must explain and withdraw from He Zhuzi according to the estimated demand, so as to ensure mutual supervision and restriction.

In other words, not only should there be financial discipline, but it is relatively strict.

When he left for Anqing, Li Ping's salary to his followers had not yet started to be distributed, so Yang Ming and He Zhuzi should have no private property.Of course, even if they have private property, they obviously don't intend to pay for it themselves.

Because of the nature of their work, the two have had some intersections for a long time, and they have tried each other many times.

Whether the eggs are seamed or not, the flies can often guess the exact same thing.

This trip, the two hit it off early on the road and decided to take the opportunity to enjoy it.Anyway, as long as the two of them have the same caliber, no one can find out.

"Let's ask the bustard to come in." Yang Ming decided to let go completely.

There are not many good times like this, and opportunities are rare, so we must cherish them.

But He Zhuzi waved his hand and said: "Brother Yukun, don't worry, let's talk for a while. The little brother is unclear about something, so please give me some advice."

"Oh? What's the matter, but it's okay to say."

"Since we left Xiangyang, our general hasn't sent anyone to visit the deputy commander's mansion. You know how hard it is for us these days. But why now the general has started to walk through the doorway of this back house when his reputation is already shaking the sky?" , and then sent so much filial piety. My little brother is stupid, I really can't figure it out." He Zhuzi said in confusion.

He Zhuzi had been holding back this doubt for several days, and couldn't figure it out, so today he suddenly wanted to express it quickly.And the two of them are already like this, it seems that there is nothing else that cannot be discussed.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "It's not difficult to understand. If I stopped walking before, I didn't want to force it. I was afraid that not only would there be no good results, but it would be easy to be slaughtered by others. Now if I continue to walk, I want to cover up my edge and show my sincerity." , we are still under Marshal Zuo after all, if we really forge a grudge, it will only do our general harm and no benefit."

For all the important decisions Li Ping made, Yang Ming would never allow himself to be ignorant and slow-witted, and he would always figure out the situation as soon as possible.

As for why Li Ping took the line of Zuo Menggeng's wife again, half of Yang Ming thought of it himself, and the other half was Zhou Wen's analysis.As the only two literati in the upper class, the relationship between Yang Ming and Zhou Wen is still very good.

However, He Zhuzi didn't know that Yang Ming only analyzed half of it.All he saw was Yang Ming's fluent and confident answers, which gave him a sense of enlightenment.

"So that's the case, I really admire it. I understand everything when you say it. Brother Yukun is really talented, but my younger brother is really dull. Five bodies cast the ground! Five bodies cast the ground!" He Zhuzi suddenly realized and sighed again and again.

"What's this, brother He's absurd praise." Yang Ming said modestly without blushing at all.

"Brother Yukun, you don't need to be humble. Your talent is no worse than that of Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou. It's a pity that you didn't become the deputy director of the teaching department. I think you are much better than that Shi Lei," He Zhuzi suddenly became angry.

"Oh! Brother He is joking. My qualifications are still young, so I dare not think of that. I think Brother He is not bad, and he has qualifications. The position of deputy director of the logistics department should be you That's right." Yang Ming looked at He Zhuzi with a smile and said.

He Zhuzi sighed, ignored Yang Ming's precautions and cautiousness, and just said in a low voice: "Director Hu said that I am a little lacking in knowledge, and I did not rank high in the recent assessments, and promoting me too much is equivalent to breaking the rules set by the general. But you have to know, my job is the busiest, so I don't have time to read!"

Although He Zhuzi opened his heart, and the two of them were indeed brothers in need, Yang Ming still didn't know how to respond.

Even if other people have seen through this kind of thing, it is generally not suitable to point it out, let alone he has not seen it through for a while, so after thinking for a while, he just said: "From now on, we brothers should help each other more."

"Yes, let's help each other more." He Zhuzi said happily without thinking too much.In fact, he was just whining, and the others didn't have the guts.

"Should we be bustards? Have fun for a while. I don't want to worry about those troubles." Yang Ming hurriedly said by the way.

But He Zhuzi stopped Yang Ming again and said, "There's no rush, we have to wait. There's one more thing to do!"

"What else?" Yang Ming was very surprised.

He Zhuzi laughed and said, "If you find out any news during the day, especially if there is any important news, you have to let me know first. After you go back, you can show a few words to explain to others. Otherwise, you will drink too much in a while." Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember what you say. If the left and right have doubts about us, it would be unbeautiful."

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "It's me, Meng Lang, and it's Brother He who has thought about everything. However, I really found out a big deal."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"The commander-in-chief recruited Liu Hongqi, a local bandit in Henan, and got [-] of his troops, ordering him to fight against bandits."
