Chapter 179 Ask Your Highness Where To Go

>

Things in the world are often like a game of chess, you don’t need to hesitate too much when you get to a certain step, because you can only go in this way; it’s like an endgame in chess, when the rook is approaching the handsome man, you have no choice but to move the handsome man to avoid it. If you go like this, how can you lose the matter directly, and the victory of life and death will come faster.

Zhu Heng also faced the same move after weighing, and he had no choice.He has a clear understanding of the situation of the upcoming civil war. Staying in Le'an can only lead to death. The land is small and there is no strategic depth. A large number of short-term trained soldiers are inferior to the veterans of the Beijing camp, and their weapons are not as good as human beings. The firearms of the Shenji Battalion were not as far as the Shenji Battalion, and there was no room for tossing. The ancient Sun Bin was resurrected to command this battle.

The only way is to run away.The advantage of Hanwang is very obvious. It is full of prestige for being able to conquer and fight well. Avoiding powerful fists, there is a lot of room for movement.

The above are the major aspects that Zhu Heng is facing.Thinking about it in a small way, he and the King of Han are really in a relationship where one prospers and the other loses. The retreat is only a last resort choice: the other "lord" does not know who he is, and Zhang Ning, who he sent, has little friendship. Put all your hopes on such a person?

Accepting Zhang Ning is only considering that this person has no danger to himself, and can provide a retreat and a hope, which is better than nothing.

Therefore, Zhu Heng absolutely does not want to see the King of Han defeated and captured. If he reaches that point, the people below him will also be buried with him, especially Zhu Heng, who has even noticed Yang Shiqi, the important minister. The importance of Shangshu is self-evident.

... Zhu Heng's firm proposition soon "worked", and in a blink of an eye, several influential people jointly exposed that Zhu Heng, Minister of the Ministry of War, had an affair with the imperial court and hid it in the mansion.

The whistleblower persuaded the King of Han to order a search of Zhu Heng's mansion, lest the spies escape.

Fortunately, the King of Han is not a stupid person when it comes to trivial matters. He understands that ordering a forcible search of a senior official's home is an insult no matter what the result is. If this kind of thing really happened, how can Zhu Heng have the prestige to restrain his subordinates in the future?The king of Han called Zhu Heng to explain.

Zhu Hengdao: "Hanwang Mingjian, the old minister has indeed received people from outside the city recently. It is just an old friend of the minister. He invited to help the Hanwang to make suggestions."

An official in the palace hall asked: "Sneaking behind the scenes, who knows what's going on?"

Zhu Hengdao: "Not long ago, the proclamation was written by this person, and the article was written by himself. Dare I ask how the minions would write such an article?"

The King of Han waved his hand and said briskly: "That will be easy. Of course, I believe that Zhu Shangshu will not have an affair with the spy, but you can also convince the public by calling someone to compare the handwriting."

Those who hated Zhu Heng claimed that Zhu Heng would let the spies go, but the King of Han laughed and said, "Zhu Heng won't let him go, I'm afraid you just want him to let him go, so he can't argue, and the suspicion is confirmed. "

Zhu Heng hurriedly said: "My lord is wise, and cannot be influenced by villains' slander."

He immediately resigned and rushed home immediately.After returning to the mansion, I went to find Zhang Ning in person, and after a few simple etiquettes, I went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Ping An, follow me to the palace...someone falsely accused me of having an affair with a police officer, and the lord ordered me to bring someone there to confront him."

When old Xu Jiang Youde heard this, he immediately stood beside Zhang Ning, his expression becoming tense.Zhang Ning quickly gestured to the left and right, and said calmly: "It's okay, since the Han King has read the original manuscript, it is easy to clarify the facts. Even if the villain has the ability to temporarily destroy the evidence, there is no silver 300 taels here, and we don't need to look for evidence."

Zhu Heng watched Zhang Ning's performance and nodded slightly: "That's right. Please Mr. Pingan come with me, and you and I will go to the palace together."

Surrounded by servants, the two walked to the carriage guard of honor. Zhu Heng took Zhang Ning's hand and got on the carriage together... This action is called going hand in hand, and Zhang Ning almost didn't pull his hand back.Damn, a big man with a full mouth and beard is holding your hand, there is an indescribable feeling, as if there is a bit of sour water surging in your stomach.The ancients were really affectionate and generous.

But from a rational point of view, in the face of a crisis, Zhu Heng's stance towards his allies has become a little closer, which is not a bad thing.Zhang Ning said softly: "If the King of Han didn't get to the bottom of it, please don't say too much about me." Zhu Heng nodded and agreed: "But the old man can't lie, Mr. Ping'an is an official. If someone in the palace recognizes you, I will be punished for lying to the prince."

Up to now, Zhang Ning didn't force it, but he just considered that the arrested Zhang family had no definite news that he was executed... But once the court knew that Zhang Ning scolded the emperor for killing his father, Zhu Zhanji was so angry that the Zhang family One can imagine what happened.

The King of Han Palace is very conspicuous, the largest building complex and the tallest house in Little Le'an City, only the King of Han is eligible to live there.Zhu Heng led Zhang Ning into the palace gate surrounded by guards, walked for a while to the main hall, and saw civil and military standing on both sides of the hall, and a big man in yellow robes stood tall above him, his momentum was sufficient.

But this little battle can't scare Zhang Ning, not to mention the experience of the two generations, even in the Ming Dynasty, he was a person who had entered the palace hall, and he had seen some in the world.

It is not a meal for a person to hold a pen under the eaves, facing the prince of the Ming Dynasty with extraordinary status, Zhang Ning bowed without any pressure, and said loudly: "The grass people kowtow to the prince."

Zhu Gaoxu was obviously a happy person, he didn't talk too much nonsense, and said directly: "Come here, the four treasures of the study room. Take out the essay and let him copy a paragraph on the spot."

Zhang Ning clasped his fists and said, "Why bother, Cao Min can just write it down silently."

"Ha!" The aloof Zhu Gaoxu laughed, "Look, everyone, you dare to say that if you have something in your stomach."

All the ministers in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, so they had to calm down and watch the play.The literati described in the joke book are always photographic, but the literati in reality know it themselves. They just heard that they have never seen this kind of person.Zhang Ning is not that kind of person, but he paid great attention to that article when he wrote it. After finishing the work, he read it more than ten times to check for omissions before he was relieved... With the qualifications of Zhang Ning who dared to say that he would hit Jieyuan, he read it more than ten times The article is written by myself, and I basically recite it backwards.

Perhaps Zhang Ning didn't pay attention to restraining himself for a while, and what he said just now seemed a bit ostentatious. The eunuch took the paper, pen and ink, but there was no book case... The king of Han didn't mention the book case.Seeing this, Zhang Ning thought: Do it!I can only write on my stomach, and what is the difference between writing a pleading paper and crying out for grievances?

"I can't get away with writing on my stomach." He muttered.The hall roared with laughter, and the King of Han was also amused: "It's interesting, it's interesting."

The smooth and flowing fonts are pleasing to the eye, and Zhang Ning couldn't help sighing again, this skinny body has really worked hard for ten years.Fortunately, the tactility of writing should be controlled by the cerebellum, and now Zhang Ning is able to possess such a skill. Good handwriting can be regarded as a very useful craft at this time.

After writing, the king of Han ordered the eunuch to pass the two pieces of paper to all the ministers. Some of them were carefully read and they were said to be written by one person, while others remained silent.No one denied that if he dared to open his eyes and speak nonsense in front of the prince, then what kind of king would Zhu Gaoxu be?

Zhu Heng's expression was obviously relaxed, and he could completely maintain a rigid expression at all times... After all, there are not many people who do not change their color in front of the collapse of Mount Tai.He cast a grateful look at Zhang Ning.

The king of Han said: "This king has already said that Zhu Shangshu will not have secret contacts. What else do you have to say now, ah?" The officials were speechless.The King of Han looked down at the palace again and said, "Zhu Shangshu's old friend, what is his history and fame?"

Zhang Ning took the courage to look around at him and said: "My lord, forgive me. The grassroots don't seek official positions, gold and silver, but come here to save their friends. I dare to ask, why did the lord resist the enemy when the imperial soldiers invaded the city?"

One of them shouted: "It's a big military matter, why are you asking about it?"

The King of Han raised his hand to stop him and said, "Isn't he from Zhu Shangshu? This king will answer you, the person who led the troops is Xue Lu. This person is nothing to be afraid of. This king will let him be defeated within a day. Go back and lead to death!"

"Haha..." Zhang Ning suddenly raised his head and laughed.

He knew that it would be dangerous to be too arrogant, but in this way, Hanwang's attention was attracted, and curiosity would strengthen Hanwang's emphasis on his remarks.Although psychological tactics are taking risks...why go to Le'an if you don't take risks?

Sure enough, the King of Han didn't get angry, he asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhang Ning bowed and said: "I think back to the time when the king of the Han Dynasty was in Wentao and Wushu, and he fought all over the world. In the battle of Baigou River, the prince led thousands of cavalry to save Taizong from a dangerous place. He went straight to the decisive battle and killed Qu Neng and his son. The man's unstoppable courage! Ling Bi In this battle, if it wasn't for the prince's defeat, what good fortune will be won, the victory or defeat is unknown..."

Zhu Gaoxu was sometimes intoxicated and sometimes indignant when he heard it.Perhaps, when he was thinking about his military exploits, he also thought about his later situation and grievances... Anyone can be wronged, but some people can bear it, Zhu Gaoxu's temperament can't bear it.

However, it is wise for Zhang Ning to enumerate his brilliance, and he should not always boast, how old are the grassroots in front of the King of Han?

Seeing that the flattering was almost done, Zhang Ning changed the subject and said, "My lord is wise all his life, why is he confused by some mediocre people who only care about themselves and ignore the overall situation?" He flicked his sleeves and said loudly, " Xue Lu is not the prince's opponent, everyone knows it, how could the emperor not know? Just imagine, the eunuch Hou Tai in the palace was also shocked by the majesty of the Han king. How could only one Xue Lu be sent here? As the imperial court, the best strategy for the present is to quickly calm the situation and stabilize the world with absolute superiority regardless of labor and mobilization! Caomin boldly asserted that the most likely thing to happen is The emperor will dispatch the main forces of the three major battalions of the capital to march in person, and the central strategy will send the British princes to sit in the army to suppress the border... If the grassroots do not agree, the King of Han can chop off the heads of the grassroots to sacrifice the flag."

The hall was quiet, it was really too quiet.

Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and asked calmly: "The three major battalions of the capital, the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, followed Taizong in the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, and they were killed in blood and fire. They frightened the Mongolian cavalry who have suppressed the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Let me ask His Highness the King of Han, even if you have the courage to be civil and military, and the bravery of ten thousand men, in this small place of Le'an City, there are few soldiers and few generals, where do you go?"
