Chapter 538 Huang Taiji went on an outing, Zhang Zhun went fishing

"Dragon Master Shi, we're meeting again."

In the VIP room of the Grand Governor's Office, Zhang Zhun met Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa's expression was a little weird, and he seemed to have a look of surprise. It turned out that when he came in just now, he was shocked by the scale of the Hu Ben Army's Grand Governor's Office. Shi Kefa had never seen such a hexagonal building before, so he took a few more glances. Although the buildings of the Grand Governor's Office were still quite simple, and they looked like rows of barracks on the outside, the scale was already there. The scale of the Hu Ben Army's Grand Governor's Office was absolutely amazing. He immediately judged that Zhang Zhun was quite ambitious.

However, what could he say? Could it be that Zhang Zhun exceeded the system? Don’t joke. When any general appointed as the governor, he was not a big project and extremely luxurious when building his own governor’s office? Even the Sichuan general Qin Liangyu, his governor’s office, was also very gorgeous. Zhang Zhun’s grand governor’s office, was too far from other governor’s offices. He had no reason to question it.

Shi Kefa's mood was very complicated. There is no doubt that Zhang Zhun was definitely a capable person. The Hu Ben Army he led was definitely the most capable army in the Ming army sequence. The glory of the Huangxian victory was something that no other Ming army general could do. However, Zhang Zhun was a rebel. Zhang Zhun had never truly accepted the court's appeasement. His relationship with the court was used by each other, and no one would believe the other's promises.

"Shi Kefa has seen the Grand Commander." Shi Kefa bowed in a regular manner.

"No gifts." Zhang Zhun said calmly.

After meeting each other, Shi Kefa did not sit down, but raised his face and said seriously: "Zhang Zhun, I am the one who asked you why you sent troops to Andongwei without authorization? Did you not take the edict seriously?"

Zhang Zhun said solemnly: "Please tell me that I, Zhang Zhun, have a totally kind heart, have sent troops to guard Andong Guards, and I am definitely not interested in ignoring the edict."

Shi Kefa frowned and said coldly: "I don't know what kind of intention it is?"

Zhang Zhun said solemnly: "I have evidence, the Lu Prince's Mansion wants to conspire to rebel."

"absurd!"

Shi Kefa was furious and couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Zhun directly.

Zhang Zhun's expression remained motionless, but his eyebrows suddenly jumped up, and then slowly returned to its original state.

Shi Kefa's face turned pale and he said word by word: "You are slandering King Lu!"

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said casually: "Come here!"

Lu Yidian came in from outside: "Sir, what are your instructions?"

Zhang Zhun said casually: "Go to Ye Longxin and bring the confession recorded by the thief in Wulian Mountain."

Lu Yidian agreed to go. Soon, he brought a stack of information and placed it on the table in front of Zhang Zhun, and then quietly withdrew.

All the information of Brigadier General Zhang was pushed to Shi Kefa, and said with a light smile: "Dragon Master Shi, these are all the thieves in Wulian Mountain captured by our army. According to their confessions, the butler of the Lu Prince's Mansion and their relationship were very close. The thieves in the fifth company have always obeyed the orders of this butler of the Lu Prince's Mansion."

Shi Kefa picked up a confession with a pale face and glanced briefly. The expression on his face became even stiffer. In fact, none of the confessions pointed out that King Lu had committed a rebellion. However, the housekeeper of the Prince of Lu's mansion had close contact with the horse thieves in Wulian Mountain, which was a big problem in itself. It was already a death sentence for the vassal kings to collude with foreign officials, let alone collude with thieves. The thieves' statements may just be concealing that their true identity is very likely to be private soldiers of the Prince of Lu's mansion.

The Lu Palace has private soldiers! If this news is revealed, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire court! However, how could Shi Kefa believe these confessions? He felt that these were just Zhang Zhun's excuses. The Lu Palace has a very high status and there is no need to rebel at all. Besides, in addition to the confessions obtained by Zhang Zhun, there is no relevant report from the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei. In order to send troops to Andongwei, Zhang Zhun actually slandered a vassal king without any concealment, which was lawless.

"slander!"

"This is a naked slander!"

"The King of Lu could not do such a thing!"

After Shi Kefa came forward, he was not afraid of Zhang Zhun's tyranny at all, and said to the tough guy.

When he was in the Ministry of Revenue, he was beaten a lot because of his stubborn donkey's temper. Therefore, although he knew that Zhang Zhun was also a dog-like face and turned against him, he still bravely said it. Shi Kefa was very clear that among the civil and military officials in the court, no one except himself dared to scold a local tyrant like Zhang Zhun in person.

Zhang Zhun had no intention of being angry at all, and regarded Shi Kefa's scolding as air. He said leisurely: "I don't know whether it is a slander. Anyway, this is the confession of the thief. I suggest that the court thoroughly investigate the matter. I will definitely actively cooperate with the investigation!"

Shi Kefa was both angry and angry, almost fainted by Zhang Zhun's lukewarm words.

He would not believe these so-called confessions. Maybe, these confessions were completely fabricated by Zhang Zhun, with the purpose of throwing shit on the Prince of Lu's Mansion and then extending the garrison in Andongwei. However, if Zhang Zhun insisted that there was something strange about this matter, the court would have to investigate. It can be imagined with his heel that Zhang Zhun would definitely not withdraw his troops easily.

Haven't you heard Zhang Zhun say? He will "actively" cooperate with the court's investigation! What does it mean to be active? If you don't investigate, I will never give up. What does it mean to be proactive? It means that I want to occupy a dominant position in the investigation. If others say this, Shi Kefa will fart him. However, Zhang Zhun is absolutely not allowed. Because Zhang Zhun holds heavy troops. Nowadays, no one in the court dares to offend, but he dares not offend generals with heavy troops. Therefore, the court must give Zhang Zhun an explanation. If Zhang Zhun has an explanation, he must investigate.

Once the investigation is launched, it will definitely last for a long time and there will be no result in a short period of time. On one side is the King of Lu, who is the royal relative, and on the other side is the domineering Zhang Zhun. Which official dares to undertake the investigation? Even the Minister of Justice dares not! If you say that King Lu rebelled, King Lu will definitely not do it, and he will inevitably cry again and make a big fuss. If you say that King Lu did not rebell, that means that Zhang Zhun was slandering, and Zhang Zhun certainly did not do it, and he would definitely ask for a thorough investigation again.

Of course, it’s okay not to investigate, just send a large army to suppress it. As long as you can use force to crush Zhang Zhun, no such dispute will exist. If the court has enough ability, it will directly send a large army to expel Zhang Zhun from Andongwei, or even directly arrest Zhang Zhun, chop it up with one knife, and hang his head to show his public. If you finish it, no such dispute will happen.

The question is, isn’t the court not having this ability? If the court can use force to solve Zhang Zhun, what else would he need to do here? Thinking of this, Shi Kefa couldn’t help but feel deeply sad. When was the court so weak? Even though he knew that the other party had a bad ambition, he had to give in to the snake. It’s so sad, it’s really so sad. The dignified Heavenly Kingdom has fallen to such a level.

After a while, Shi Kefa reluctantly calmed down and pulled his thoughts back from his sorrow. He said with a strong attitude from the outside but strong, but tough attitude: "I will report to the court and ask for a thorough investigation of this matter. Before we find out the truth of the matter, on behalf of the court, I ask the Hu Ben Army to withdraw from Andongwei."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Dragon Master Shi, in fact, I will tell you the truth. Antonwei was invited by Song Degang to settle in. I have legal procedures and procedures."

Shi Kefa frowned immediately, and then said flatly: "Song Degang? Impossible!"

Zhang Zhun took out a document in a magical way and threw it in front of Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa couldn't wait to take it over and see, but no, this document was indeed sent by Song Degang. The general idea was that the thieves in Andongwei were rampant and he was unable to do so, so he asked Dongjiang Town to send troops to support him. At the end of the document, he also clearly stated that in order to prevent the thieves in Wulian Mountain from rekindling, he asked Zhang Zhun to station troops in Andongwei for a long time.

After reading this document, Shi Kefa felt that his chest was about to explode. Zhang Zhun was really cunning. In addition to the excuses of the Lu Prince's Mansion, there was also an excuse from Song Degang. The excuses of the Lu Prince's Mansion were also flawed, but Song Degang's excuse was impeccable. On the open side, all this meets the requirements. On the dark side... Who is Zhang Zhun's opponent on the dark side?

Zhang Zhun sighed a long time and said with emotion: "Actually, my troops are very tight, so how can I have time to take care of Andongwei's affairs? But my old friend is in trouble, so I have to send troops. Look, I haven't asked for subsidies from the court yet, so the court sent someone to ask me if I have bad intentions. Alas, good people are really not allowed these days. The court doesn't know how they do things. They didn't even understand the whole story of the matter, so they just sent someone to raise an army to ask for crimes..."

Shi Kefa had already suppressed his anger. This matter involved Song Degang, and he had to be cautious, otherwise he would offend another general officer. Nowadays, general officers are all real power figures, and even the prime minister, governor, governor, supervisor, etc., they dare not offend easily. However, when Zhang Zhun spoke like this, Shi Kefa couldn't help it.

Zhang Zhun said this on purpose, which was simply slapping him Shi Kefa in the face, saring the whole court with a fierce sarcasm. Shi Kefa was loyal to the court and naturally had to actively safeguard the dignity of the court. Therefore, even though he knew that Zhang Zhun might immediately turn against him, he still said angrily: "It is unknown whether the official document is true or false! It is a fact that you sent troops to Andongwei without authorization!"

Zhang Zhun shrugged casually, spread his hands and said casually: "Since that's the case, Shi Langzhong might as well go to Qingzhou City to confront Song Degang! Song Degang is an honest man and will not lie!"

Shi Kefa only felt that he could not hold his breath in his throat, and he almost fainted. Fortunately, he swallowed quickly and vigorously to avoid letting himself unconscious. He was indeed so angry that he was trembling all over by Zhang Zhun, but he could not find any refutation. Perhaps from the moment he sent troops to Andongwei, Zhang Zhun had prepared all his remarks.

He could tell whether the official document was true or not at a glance. In fact, this official document was indeed true, and it was indeed sent by Song Degang. Song Degang was stationed in Qingzhou City and was naturally most concerned about the actions of Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture. He felt increasingly that there was no future with the court, and it was the king to surrender to Zhang Zhun as soon as possible. Especially after the war in Huangxian, Song Degang was determined to witness so many Tartar heads with his own eyes.

In fact, before, Song Degang's family had already lived and worked in Jimo County. He was completely naked. If there was any danger, he could leave if he patted his butt. However, Zhang Zhun asked him to stay in Cao's camp and continue to station in Qingzhou City. So Song Degang continued to serve as the general officer in Qingzhou City. Otherwise, Zhang Zhun would not have calmly turned Qingzhou City into his own territory in the combat plan.

It is absolutely reasonable and legal to issue a document to ask Zhang Zhun to station in Andong Guards in procedure. Zhang Zhun is the general officer of Dongjiang Town and the general general of the Later Army Governor's Office, and also belongs to the battle sequence of the Ming army. Song Degang is also the general officer. When encountering difficulties, he asks him for help. No one can say anything wrong. As for Zhang Zhun as a rebel, Song Degang can be completely foolish. Since the edict has already recruited Zhang Zhun and Zhang Zhun has accepted the rebel, then Zhang Zhun is not a rebel. Can the emperor still slap himself in the mouth?

Therefore, Song Degang was not afraid of causing trouble from his superiors, and could take it back with an edict. In fact, the only one who might come to him was the Governor of Shandong Zhu Dadian. But would Zhu Dadian come to cause trouble for Zhang Zhu? Of course not. Zhu Dadian and Zhang Zhu had an agreement at the beginning, and no one could send other troops into Qingzhou Prefecture. If one party violated, the other party had the right to make appropriate reactions.

The matter between Andongwei was that Zhu Dadian could not control his subordinates, and as a result, some officials went in first, and Zhang Zhun sent someone to arrive later. If this matter was exposed, it would be of no benefit to him. Therefore, Zhu Dadian's only choice was to pretend to be stupid and pretend not to know. Anyway, the prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture Li Maofang and him were not in the same way, so let Li Maofang go to trouble.

Zhang Zhun took out another piece of information and threw it to Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa glanced at it and said in a conditioned reflex: "Fake, all fake... Huh?"

He suddenly felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly opened his eyes wide and carefully reviewed it word by word. Then, he seemed to have caught a red-hot soldering iron, subconsciously released the information, and stammered: "What? Donglu is going to invade again?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Dragon Master Shi, look slowly, there are two pages left behind."

Shi Kefa hurriedly calmed down, picked up the information again, took off the first page, and then continued to read. After reading for a while, he found that the information had been taken down, and then he hurriedly corrected it. As a result, the more he looked, the more he became panicked, and the more he looked, the paler his face became. Even Zhang Zhun could clearly see his hands trembling. It can be imagined how shocked Shi Kefa was in his heart.

Shi Kefa had to be shocked. The Tartars had just completed the invasion last year, and the tragedy was still vivid in my mind. Now I am going to invade again? Moreover, according to the description above, the Tartars' invasion this time had much more troops than the previous two invasions. In other words, the Tartars' invasion this time had a deeper harm than the previous two times. In the north of the Ming Dynasty, many places are still in ruins, and the Ming army is also a scattered sand. In this case, how to stop the Tartars' third invasion?

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "This is the one I sent back from the detailed work I placed in Shenyang. It is the highest secret. Shi Langzhong is the first outsider to see this information."

Shi Kefa swallowed with difficulty, without any sense of honor. Instead, he said with some anticipation: "Maybe it's just a false alarm?"

Zhang Zhun said proudly: "Believe or not is not with me, but with Shi Langzhong."

Shi Kefa's eyes drifted and he said guiltily: "Maybe the Tartars are preparing for war, not to invade..."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said lightly: "I guess so. It's probably because Huang Taiji felt that the winter in Chenyang was a little cold and wanted to move to Guihua City to spend the winter. I heard that the Mongolians were very enthusiastic about the reception of the Tartars. There were hundreds of thousands of war horses and a large number of beautiful women. The Mongolians were also going to become the Eight Banners. Lin Danhan had two widows, and now they all became Huang Taiji's women."

Shi Kefa subconsciously said: "Maybe."

Zhang Zhun stood up, stretched his waist comfortably, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, let's go away. The weather has been pretty good recently, and I'm going to go fishing by the beach. I wonder if Shi Langzhong is so elegant, so I can accompany me to fish?"

Shi Kefa subconsciously said: "You go fishing? No..."

Zhang Zhun said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with it? Since Huang Taiji has been on a tour of Guihua City, we are happy and relaxed."

Shi Kefa said helplessly: "I'm sorry, my heart is very confused..."

Zhang Zhun said casually: "When Jung Shi is tired, why not take a break first?"

Shi Kefa said obscenely: "Okay, okay, okay."

He even said three good words without a smile at all, and even his tone was a little stiff. In fact, from beginning to end, he kept pinching the information Zhang Zhun gave him and never let go. Even if he had to go back to rest, he did not let go of the information.

Zhang Zhun clapped his hands, and someone came in and took Shi Kefa away.

When he was out, Shi Kefa accidentally kicked the threshold and almost fell down. However, he didn't care at all. He stabilized his body and tightly pinched the information in his hand, as if the walking corpse had gone.

"This Shi Kefa..."

Zhang Zhun shook his head gently.

Shi Kefa is really stubborn. Until now, he is still so stupid and loyal to the court. However, if he changes his position casually, it is not Shi Kefa. From this perspective, Shi Kefa is more respectable than Zhang Shenyan.

"Xiao Lu! Get ready for the horse! Get ready to go!"

Zhang Zhun shouted.
Chapter completed!
