Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 558
"I just don't know whether Zhang Pu should be let go. This person is the leader of Fushe. Over the years, he has caused many things. If he is let go, the commander may not be able to justify it." Wen Qing said hesitantly.

"Brother Jing, even you know that many things have been done by Zhang Pu these years, doesn't the commander-in-chief not know? Since the commander-in-chief knows, why didn't he deal with him, but just demoted him from Beijing?" Zhang Tongchang laughed.

Wen Qing said: "There is nothing wrong with Zhang Pu being an official, he just opposes the commander-in-chief's political views. If the commander-in-chief kills Zhang Pu, I am afraid that all scholars in the world will oppose the commander-in-chief. How can the commander-in-chief be so disrespectful?" matter?"

Zhang Tongchang said with a smile: "That's right, now these people haven't blatantly rebelled against the commander-in-chief, they are just doing some small tricks, that is to say, it's not time to kill people. At this time, you can talk to Zhang Pu about it." , he should be able to understand the pros and cons of it."

Wen Qing nodded: "If that's the case, then I'll send Zhang Pu to the mansion tomorrow."

"Brother Jing, at the beginning, you can show your prestige, but after the demonstration, you have to show your kindness." Zhang Tong said openly.

"Hehe, thank you Brother Bie Shan for your guidance." Wen Qing smiled.

Zhang Tongchang said with a smile: "Brother Jing, I'm going down tomorrow too. I'm afraid it will take a while for you and my brother to meet. You have to do some homework. I suggest you find Xiao Jiu or Xiao Wu now and let them Immediately notify the people of the Nanjing Security Department to send the information of Zhang Pu and his followers."

"Okay, I'll go find Xiaojiu now." Wen Qing said hurriedly.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Li Jing was sent off by a group of officials from Jiangsu, arrived in Yangzhou a day later, and then traveled northward along the way.

Li Jing originally intended to land in Suqian and then go overland, but soon after leaving Yangzhou, he felt that the temperature had dropped sharply and the canal became increasingly difficult to sail. Li Jing had no choice but to land in Huai'an, and then headed northeast to drive the Yellow River.

When Li Jing and others arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River, Sun Chuanting had already arranged for the battleship to wait at the mouth of the river.

Li Jing and others boarded the ship again, entered the sea along the Yellow River, then bypassed the Shandong Peninsula, and arrived in Tianjin Wei in four days.

On the night when Li Jing arrived in Tianjinwei, it snowed heavily. Li Jing was so happy when he saw it, he went out to watch the snow without wearing cotton clothes.

Xiao Jiu was shocked when she saw this, and immediately ordered someone to go to Beijing immediately to inform Shen Zheng and other officials.

Hearing that Li Jing was ill, Shen Zheng and others were shocked, and urgently ordered the Imperial Hospital to send an imperial physician to Tianjin Wei.

The imperial doctor rushed to Tianjin Wei, and after a short pulse check, he knew that Li Jingde was suffering from exogenous wind-cold. The reason why his condition was slightly severe was that he was tired all day long and did not pay attention to rest, which led to poor physical condition. Therefore, after catching the cold, he suddenly felt fall sick.

After prescribing Guizhi Decoction to Li Jing, the imperial physician reminded everyone around Li Jing that although the disease is not serious, it only needs to sweat profusely and then recuperate for a while. Otherwise, if you get sick again in the future, it will be like a fierce one.

As the imperial physician said, after Li Jing took the Guizhi Decoction, he sweated profusely, his body's fever subsided, and his mind quickly regained consciousness.

Lying on the bed, seeing Xiao Zhu sitting beside him, Xiao Jiu, Xiao Wu and others standing aside and looking at him with concern, Li Jing smiled wryly and said, "It's just a little cold, why are you looking at me like that?"

After talking, they were about to sit up, when Xiao Jiu and Xiao Wu hurriedly bent down and held Li Jing down: "Marshal, you lie down and rest well, what are you doing when you get up again?"

Li Jing frowned: "What did the doctor say?"

Xiaozhu repeated what the imperial physician had said, and Li Jing nodded slightly.

After leaving Beijing, Li Jing stopped exercising in the morning for less than three months. It was nothing at all, but during the period from leaving Beijing to returning to Beijing, Li Jing was always on the road. When you are in one place, how can you not look around?This trip back and forth, almost did not have a good rest.

After a lot of tossing, Li Jing's exercise achievements have long since disappeared, and his physical condition is even worse than before.Therefore, as soon as he was invaded by wind evil, he fell ill immediately.

Li Jing said toughly, saying that his body was fine, but he knew in his heart that his body was deteriorating. Ten years ago, let alone being blown by the cold wind, he would not catch a cold even if he stood shirtless in the snow. .

Sighing lightly, Li Jing waved his hands: "You probably haven't had a good rest all day and night, go back and rest."

"It's okay, the baby is not tired." Xiao Jiu and Xiao Wu said hurriedly.

Li Jing shook his head: "There must be a lot of people from Tianjin Wei who want to visit me. You go out and tell them that I'm fine. I accept their wishes and let them go back. Then you also go back to rest. If I If something happens, call you again."

Seeing Li Jing's decisive attitude, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Wu didn't dare to hesitate, they bowed and saluted, then turned and left the house.

Patting Xiao Zhu's hand lightly, Li Jing said: "Xiao Zhu, you also go back to rest, don't be too tired."

"Master, I am here to serve you." Xiao Zhu shook his head and said.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Silly girl, if you are exhausted, how can you serve me? Be obedient, go back and rest."

Xiao Zhu shook his head: "Master hasn't eaten all day, if you want to eat something, I will make it for you."

Hearing this, Li Jing felt helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "Then you make me a bowl of white porridge, and I'll just drink some porridge. If you want to come to the imperial physician, you are not allowed to eat indiscriminately."

Xiao Zhu sighed softly: "Master knows everything, but he just doesn't know how to take care of his body. The porridge has already been cooked, Xiang'er, bring the porridge."

"Yes." The maid behind Xiaozhu hurriedly replied.

After a while, Li Xiang brought the porridge, and Xiaozhu stepped forward to help Li Jing up, and put the pillow on Li Jing's back, then took the porridge bowl, and slowly fed Li Jing with a spoon.

Li Jing sighed in his heart while eating, never thought that one day he would open his mouth for food.

But looking at Xiaozhu's concerned eyes, how could Li Jing refuse her kindness?
Li Jingzheng sighed to himself, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, then the door was pushed open, and Shen Zheng, Gao Qi, Yang Liufeng and others hurried in.

Li Jing smiled bitterly, raised his hand and pushed away the spoon that Xiaozhu handed to his mouth.

"Marshal, how are you?" Shen Zheng and others hurried to Li Jing's bedside and asked with concern.

"It's nothing serious, the fever has subsided, but the body is still a little weak." Li Jing smiled.

At this time, Xiao Zhu put down the porridge bowl, stood up and blessed Shen Zheng and the others: "I have met some adults."

"Ah! It's the fourth lady. I didn't notice that the fourth lady was here. Don't blame me for being rude." Shen Zheng bowed and said.

Xiaozhu hurriedly said: "My lord is the father of my wife, how dare I be a gift to my lord."

"I've met Mrs. Sister-in-law." Gao Qi and others saluted.

Seeing that Xiao Zhu returned the salute to Gao Qi and others, Li Jing shook his head and sighed: "I said you are annoying! There is no outsider here, why are you talking about so many rules! Xiang'er, bring some chairs for you adults. Xiao Zhu , you go back and rest."

Everyone smiled and said nothing when they heard the words, knowing that Li Jing has always been tired of these red tapes, especially now that he is ill, seeing everyone going back and forth to greet each other, they are afraid that they will be even more annoyed.

When Li Xiang moved the chair, Li Jing waved his hands to signal everyone to sit down, and said to Li Xiang, "Serve tea, my lords."

"Marshal, we saw that Marshal is in good health, he is more comfortable than drinking honey, what kind of tea do we need to drink!" Gao Qi laughed.

Li Jing smiled: "You can't just sit like this."

Turning to Shen Zhengdao: "Father-in-law, Li Zong of North Korea requested to be attached, does the emperor have any words?"

Shen Zheng said with a smile: "Li Zong asked to be attached, to see the emperor, the emperor said that all important military and state affairs of Ming Dynasty were handled by the prime minister, and he would not intervene, so he did not summon Li Zong."

"Oh? The emperor said that?" Li Jing asked doubtfully.

"Yes! The emperor also said that the North Korean envoy said that the matter of enclosing will be decided after the commander-in-chief returns. It is uncertain whether the commander-in-chief agrees with North Korea's enclosing. The emperor seems to have something interesting to say." Shen Zhengxiao road.

Li Jing nodded lightly when he heard this: "At the beginning we hinted at North Korea's encroachment, but they have been procrastinating and refusing to agree. Now that the country is dead, they only think of enclosing in order to continue to be rich. How can there be such a good thing? What do they want? Why? The emperor is right."

"I thought so too, so I asked Boying to leave them alone." Shen Zheng smiled.

Li Jing waved his hand: "You can't always hang around, have you guys discussed how to deal with the North Korean issue?"

Shen Zhengdao: "After discussing it, we will follow the model of Liaodong. We will build the governor's office in North Korea and change the provinces of North Korea into government offices. The only thing missing now is the candidate for the chief minister. I don't know if Li Zong will be the chief minister. Whether the envoy is still appointed by the imperial court is up to the commander-in-chief to decide."

Li Jing smiled: "Things can't be too extreme. These people want to be attached, and they are always sweetened. If they don't give them some power, these people will be dissatisfied and encourage the North Koreans to make trouble. It will be troublesome after all. I think Li Zong should be granted a title, Marquis, as for the title, please let the emperor decide, and then appoint Li Zong as the chief envoy."

"The deputy envoy must be served by someone from us." Yang Liufeng continued.

Li Jingjing nodded: "The candidate for this deputy envoy must be well thought out, and he must be familiar with government affairs. The key is to be able to understand the new policy, and to know the soldiers."

"This... people like this are not easy to choose. Our officials know government affairs, but few of them know soldiers, and those who know soldiers don't understand government affairs. The court now only Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting fit this category Conditions, but the three of them will be degraded if they serve as deputy envoys, and they all have important responsibilities, so they cannot go to North Korea separately." Shen Zheng pondered.

Li Jing waved his hand: "Knowing the soldiers is not the same as leading the troops. This person only needs to know when to use the troops and stabilize the situation in North Korea. As for the person leading the troops, we can appoint another general."

"The commander-in-chief has a suitable candidate?" Shen Zheng smiled.

Li Jingjing nodded: "I am going to ask Yue Tuo to be the deputy envoy."

"Yue Tuo? Huang Taiji's nephew?" Shen Zheng exclaimed.
