Ping An Biography

Chapter 133 Important People

The right way is that the spring night is short, and the early spring morning is chilly, even if you are alone under the quilt, you still feel reluctant to part with it.Welcome to reading Peach Blossom Fairy habitually wakes up early in the morning, but when she thinks that she has nothing to do after waking up, she is too lazy to get up, and falls asleep under the quilt for a while.According to this way of life, she sleeps six or seven hours a day without any pressure.

She fell asleep again, and at some point she was woken up again, so she pulled the quilt over her head and said angrily, "Don't eat breakfast, leave me alone."

At this time, the door was pushed open with a "creak", and a familiar voice said, "It's already noon and you still have breakfast...why are you still sleeping?"

Peach Blossom Fairy soon recognized Fang Ling's voice, and realized that she was separated from Fang Ling in Changde Mansion, Huguang. Who is not Fang Ling?She was surprised: "Why is Sister Fang here?"

Fang Ling said: "Not long after you left, I explained the matter of the Chunhan Pear Garden, and then came to Changde Mansion, and managed to contact Uncle Zheng (Zheng Qia). Uncle Zheng wanted to ask us to do something, so we came together. Here to find you."

"Where are the others?" Peach Blossom Fairy looked outside the door.

Fang Ling tossed off her quilt: "We'll talk about it when we get up, Uncle Zheng is waiting in the living room."

The Peach Blossom Fairy saw that the sun outside was almost at the mid-heaven, so she quickly got up, dressed and combed her hair, and asked someone to fetch water to wash.It took less than a moment from waking up to tidying up.Fang Ling, who was watching her dress up in the room, couldn't help but said softly: "Daughter's family must not be lazy. If you clean up like this, the natural beauty will be ruined by you."

"Naturally beautiful, forget it." Peach Blossom Fairy replied casually, subconsciously touching her left cheek with her fingers.Soon she pretended to reach out to brush her hair, and stroked her hand towards the left temple. She really didn't want to expose her inner inferiority and fragility in front of anyone.

After tidying up, the two left the room together and walked along the eaves to the living room.When he got there, he saw Zheng Qia sitting on a chair drinking tea calmly.The three of them sighed and exchanged greetings for a while when they met. Seeing that it was time for lunch, Zheng Qia told the people in the village not to bring the food, and took Fang Ling and Peach Blossom Fairy to a secluded place to talk, and called a few followers. Stay outside.

Seeing the battle, Peach Blossom Fairy couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

"Nothing happened, but I have a very important news to tell you, and then I want you to do a very important errand." Zheng Qia sat down on the chair at the top and greeted again, "Be safe and don't be impatient. , sit down."

Peach Blossom Fairy and Fang Ling sat down and waited curiously for the following.The two women sat together, and the beauty of Peach Blossom Fairy was really incomparable to that of Fang Ling.It's not that Peach Blossom Fairy's appearance is much worse, it's just that her attire is really lackluster. She wears a scarf on her head, a hat commonly worn by ordinary men, and a black gauze scarf hangs from each ear to gently cover her cheeks; She covered it up, but her purpose was obviously to cover up the scar on her left face. The shape of this hat was ugly, just like the dog fur hat that people in the north like to wear.Because of wearing this hat, he had to wear men's clothes on his body. The loose moon white natural color was directly embellished, and the natural curve of a woman was completely covered up.

On the other hand, Fang Ling is the complete opposite. The plain and ordinary skirt on her body seems to be the same as that of ordinary women, but the tailoring is suitable and the details are exquisite, which are not possessed by ordinary women. The red lips and the white jade bracelet on the wrist embellish the plain color elegantly, making it a harmonious whole, reserved and subtle.

Zheng Qia's eyes swept over the two of them, and he didn't say much, he only spoke in a serious tone like that of an elder and Shangfeng, but his voice was extremely low: "The list of people who know the news must be on the list, so you It cannot be disclosed to anyone without permission."

They all nodded solemnly after hearing this.Zheng Qia said in a low voice: "We have confirmed that Zhang Ning, the imperial censor of Huguang, is the third son of Emperor Jianwen..."

Fang Ling's expression changed suddenly, and she said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Zheng said that Ping An's original surname was Zhu, and he was the prince?!"

Zheng Qia nodded, then roughly explained how Mrs. Yao Ji adopted Zhang Ning and how she recognized each other, and then said: "Zhang Ping'an was ordered by the puppet court to be responsible for inspecting the details of evil sects, and after Xuande ascended the throne to monitor Our important person; but because of his true identity, he should be on our side. So it is extremely important for us to keep in touch with Zhang Ping'an... Your first errand is to stay with Zhang Ping'an as a liaison The person who is fully responsible for this matter is Madam Yao, the leader of the evil cult. From now on, she will be in touch with Madam Yao in daily reports, and can occasionally communicate with me. The person who runs this errand is very important. Shangfeng decided to choose you two after many considerations. I hope you will do well."

Seeing that Fang Ling's expression was not right, he said nicely, "Miss Fang and Zhang Ping'an have a friendship, so it shouldn't be difficult to get along with each other?"

Fang Ling nodded lightly and said: "It was fine at first, but suddenly I found out that he is the prince, and I don't know how to deal with it for a while."

Zheng Qia said: "My lord would rather not bend, be loyal, and be loyal to Emperor Jianwen, and repay the emperor's kindness; since Zhang Ping'an is the son of Jianwen, even though he is a prince, he cannot be compared with the royal family and nobles of the puppet dynasty. You don't have to Don’t worry too much; Miss Peach Blossom Fairy Wang, honorable Wang Jingzhi, committed suicide and died for the country when the city of Nanjing was destroyed, and used her full name as a festival. Loyalty is commendable. You are all loyal and good, don’t forget why your ancestors died!”

With such words, all the ancestors were brought out, Fang Ling and Peach Blossom Fairy had nothing to say, so they had to agree.

Zheng Qia said again: "The second errand must not be leaked. Soon the summit will send a very important person to Changde Mansion to meet with Zhang Ping'an. People in our place must absolutely guarantee the safety of this person. So after the two of you meet with Zhang Ping'an, you should discuss this matter with him, let him make arrangements early, and avoid being followed by government spies when you meet. Remember."

Fang Ling thought for a while and asked, "We have never met Mrs. Yao, how can we get in touch with her?"

"I will discuss this with you two in detail in the afternoon, and you will leave tomorrow." Zheng Qia said slowly, "When you go to find Zhang Ping'an, you must have a reasonable reason, didn't he send a cronies named 'Zhao Erniang' Go to Nanzhili to incorporate the old department? After you leave the quarry tomorrow morning, go east first, and our people will guide you, and when Zhao Erniang returns to Changde Mansion, ask her to take you there together."

Peach Blossom Fairy remembered that she and Zhao Erniang had eavesdropped on Fang Ling's private affairs in the Chunhan Liyuan, and they got along quite well, so she blurted out with a smile: "Zhao Erniang knows me, so this matter should not be difficult."

Zheng Qia nodded solemnly: "Let's have lunch first, and then make preparations in the afternoon. The current matter is a major matter that Jian Wenjun personally explained. You two must go all out and make no mistakes! Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."

When Fang Ling and Peach Blossom Fairy went back to the room to prepare things, Peach Blossom Fairy said quietly, "Uncle Zheng said that an important person came down to meet Zhang Ping'an. I'm afraid this person is Mr. Jianwen? Think about it, Mr. Jun just confirmed it not long ago." Zhang Ping'an is his own son. Father and son haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. It's good to see each other for love and reason. Could it be that Uncle Zheng is so nervous today?" Fang Ling hurriedly said: "Since Uncle Zheng didn't Tell us clearly that we should not talk about it, and we should also be careful that the walls have ears, so don’t mention this matter in the future.”

... Early the next morning, under Zheng Qia's arrangement, Fang Ling and Peach Blossom Fairy were escorted out of Changde Mansion and waited for Zhao Erniang's men and horses on the post road.As expected, Zhao Erniang came over with a group of spies from the former Yangzhou interview envoy, and "coincidentally" met them on the road.

Of course Zhao Erniang knew them, not only had they met before, but not long ago she had sent a letter to Chunhan Pear Garden.Although the friendship between each other is not deep, it is not easy to meet acquaintances in the rivers and lakes.After chatting with each other, Zhao Erniang asked why they came to Huguang suddenly.

Fang Ling said that she received a letter from Zhang Ning and knew that he was doing official business in Changde Mansion and had a tea garden, so she wanted to come and join him.Zhao Erniang thought about it, and teased, "My boss really attracts women."

Zhao Erniang had heard of the reputation of "Gu Chunhan" in South Zhili, how could she be considered a famous courtesan, living well in Nanjing, why would she need to travel all the way to Changde Mansion to join her?The only reason is probably to want to stay together.

As for whether Fang Ling would affect Zhang Ning's business, Zhao Erniang didn't have to worry too much. Anyway, she brought her over and let Zhang Ning handle it by herself.So the two men and horses got together and swaggered into the boundary of Huguang.Zhao Erniang had the official document signed by Zhang Ning on her body, and it was very easy to cross the city and cross the fortress.

When they arrived at the Wuchang Mansion of Huguang Buzheng Sizhi, because Zhang Ning left someone behind, Zhao Erniang reconfirmed that Zhang Ning had gone to Changde Mansion, and then continued with a group of people.

At this time, the interview envoy of Changde Mansion followed the old way of Yangzhou Biyuan, and also set up a tea garden, named "Yuanxiangming".They had negotiated with the Changde government and requisitioned the gardens; Changde's treasury had another batch of tea and tea sets, which were collected from the tea merchants as tax in kind, and the magistrate took a lot out to curry favor with Zhang Ning.Xu Guangchao is in charge of Zhangluo Tea Garden, and everything is going well; the key is the "cooperation" of local officials, and the magistrate has no choice. If the emperor sees the important officials of the court, if he offends, the consequences may be very serious. Just say a few words about the chaos in the Changde Mansion. Is the magistrate still a proper official?

Right now, the interview department is being set up step by step, and when Zhao Erniang brings experienced spies, they can copy the Yangzhou set of things according to the gourd.
