Except for Xiao Jinghui's poor health, there is nothing else in the house. Zhang Hongjian, who is over one year old and Zhang Mingqian, who is four months old, have grown up healthily without illness and pain, which makes Shang Danran and Mu Zhenzhen, the two mothers who are less worried. Lu Tao and Zhang Ruoxi are still in Beijing, and Zhang Ruoxi said that he would wait for Zhang Yuan to return from North Korea before returning to Jiangnan; Wang Wei has not yet returned to Beijing...

Zhang Yuan asked about some of the situation in the house, so he asked Wuling and Baima to go back to Ligelao Hutong to report the news first. He also wanted to go to the Ministry of Rites to report the case. The captured Nalan Bakesh and another Jurchen prisoner were also handed over to the commander of the Jinyiwei Luo Sigong for interrogation-

Just now, Wuling talked about the four-month-old Zhang Mingqian being so cute. Mu Jingyan on the side smiled and said nothing. He was so happy. This is a real child, and he is really a mother!

Zhang Yuan said: "Uncle Mu, you, Master Wang, Hong Ji, Hong Xin and others will go back to the house first."

Mu Jingyan, Hong Ji and Hong Xin are not under the organization of the mission, so there is no need to go to the Ministry of Rites to report to the Ministry of War tomorrow. Wang Zongyue was hired by Du Song to escort Zhang Yuan, and he didn't even have to go to the Ministry of War.

Mu Jingyan said: "It's better to follow Lord Zhang to finish the work before going back."

As we approached Chang'an Street, more and more people watched, the sixteen people from the regiment cheered up their spirits, flags fluttered, leopard tail guns were raised, and the ceremonial knife was shining in the July sunshine, and the guide drums and cloud gongs were hit rhythmically -

Zhang Yuan had a sharp ear and heard people on the roadside asking each other: "Why are there fewer people in the Jinyiwei? I saw him when he was on a mission in March. There were several rows. Why is it because he was missing more than half this time?"

"How many people are still bandaged and are seriously injured. Who dares to stroke the tiger beard of Master Jinyiwei?"

"It is said that Zhang Zhuang-yuan encouraged the king's nephew to commit rebellion in the North Korean country and killed the king, and the king's nephew became the king."

"How could Zhang Zhuangyuan instigate such a traitor? He should stop such unkind and unjust things."

"Who knows this? Maybe Zhang Zhuangyuan got the benefits of the nephew of the King of Korea--"

...

He talked and talked a lot, and some Jinyiwei heard it and scolded him loudly.

Zhang Yuan said to Zhen Zidan: "The common people are ignorant, hearsay, and speculate, and there is no need to blame them. However, those who have ulterior motives deliberately create rumors should be wary of them. We defeated the plot of Jiannu in North Korea and killed the enemy in blood on the way back. These achievements cannot be distorted and erased. Zhen Qianhu must report in detail when he sees Commander Luo. His subordinate Jinyiwei must also do his best to promote Guanghaijun's infidelity and Jiannu's ambitions, so that the people in the capital know what we have done and what we have encountered."

Zhang Yuan is very clear about his situation. He not only wants to try to stop Nurhaci's upcoming offensive, but also guard against open and hidden guns and arrows from the political enemies in the court, which may be even more difficult-

Zhen Zidan's arrow injury has healed most of the time, and riding a horse is not in trouble. After hearing Zhang Yuan's advice, he said with a serious expression: "Don't worry, sir, I understand the humble position."

Twelve of the sixty Jinyiwei lieutenants who were on the mission were killed. Zhen Zidan, who was deputy Qianjia, was under great pressure. Now he and Zhang Yuan share honor and disgrace. If the rebellion of the rebellion of the Korean Lingyangjun could not be recognized by the Ming court, if the fight against the Jiannu horse thief was considered to be a cause of trouble, Zhang Yuan, as the enthroned envoy, had to bear the main blame, and Zhen Zidan was also unlucky. He worked hard to travel between eight thousand miles and fight against the Jianzi, and was actually questioned. This kind of thing seems absurd but not impossible. From the attitude of the Liaodong Governor Li Weihan, you can see the clues. The party struggles in the court are fierce, Zhang Yuan is close to Donglin, and has a grudge with Fang Ge Lao, Yao Jiashi and others. Now all the senior officials and officials in Donglin have been demoted from the capital. Zhang Yuan is quite isolated in the court, and his political enemies will use this mission to slander Zhang Yuan-

Despite this, Zhen Zidan did not feel that he was implicated by Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan had his own personal charm. After several months of being together, Zhang Yuan's integrity, wisdom, and unpride and unspicableness were all admired by Zhen Zidan. The 1,000 taels of silver given to Zhang Yuan by eunuch Lu and the precious gifts received in North Korea were all used as pension silver for the casualties Jinyiwei. This alone made Zhen Zidan admire, and Zhen Zidan was extremely disgusted with Governor Li's attitude when the attack on the Fenghuang Mountain thieves, so of course he was firmly standing on Zhang Yuan's side.

Ruan Dacheng also heard the rumors from the people, and couldn't help but take Donglin away. Hanshe was lonely. Fang Congzhe and the three parties wanted to suppress Zhang Yuan and Hanshe no longer had any scruples. Ruan Dacheng thought that Zhang Yuan took the initiative to request a mission to North Korea during the most critical period of Ding Si Jingchao to avoid disaster. Logically, Zhang Yuan should be careful to go to the 2 locust reefs. Pearl reefs are exhausted. Pearls are hot and hot. But Zhang Yuan did not do this. Some things were clearly initiated by Zhang Yuan, which made Ruan Dacheng quite confused. Zhang Yuan seemed to have expected the result of Ding Si Jingchao, but why did he still act so well?

Ruan Dacheng urged the horse to go hand in hand with Zhang Yuan, turned his head to look at Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan smiled at him and said, "Eight thousand miles of roads, clouds and moon, we are finally back."

Ruan Dacheng smiled and said, "Yue Wumu is not something I can do."

Ruan Dacheng said this, Zhang Yuan remembered that in history, Ruan Dacheng actively shaved the clay and played the role of aluminium. He said lightly: "How can everyone be Yue Wumu? Don't be inverted by right and wrong?

When he arrived at the intersection of Dongchang'an Street, Wuling and Baima detoured the Daming Gate and returned to the house to report the letter. Zhen Zidan led more than 40 Jinyiwei lieutenants back to Jinyiwei yamen to report the letter. Zhang Yuan and his party entered Donggongsheng Gate to come to the Ministry of Rites. He Zongyan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, welcomed Zhang Yuan and North Korea to request Yu Yan and others outside the Yimen. Zhang Yuan returned the enthronement letter, attached a memorial for the failure to complete the enthronement mission, and also a list, that is, he would also hand it over to He Zongyan.

Yu Yan reported to He Zongyan in detail about the process of rehabilitation of North Korea. He Zongyan did not express his opinion and ordered a banquet to entertain everyone. Zhang Plaintiff left: "Shilarious Minister He is eager to leave and is eager to return. He will not drink this wine. Please forgive me."

Ruan Dacheng also stood up and said goodbye, but He Zongyan did not try to keep him.

Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng left the gate of the Ministry of Rites, but saw Zhang Dai, Wen Zhenmeng and Qian Shisheng waiting under the screen wall outside the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Dai laughed and greeted him: "Brother Jie Zif, thank you for your hard work on an envoy.?

Wen Zhenmeng and Qian Shisheng also came to Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng bowed to greet him. The mission had just passed through the Yuhe North Bridge and had already alarmed the people in the Hanlin Academy. Zhang Dai, Wen Zhenmeng and Qian Shisheng rushed to the Ministry of Rites to meet -

Zhang Dai looked at Zhang Yuan carefully and said, "Jie Zi, you are so dark and thin." He looked at Ruan Dacheng again and said, "Brother Jizhi is not a jade-faced man anymore."

Ruan Dacheng said: "What is black and thin? If Jie Zi hadn't been alert, we would have almost died in Liaodong."

Zhang Dai asked in surprise why, they had heard of the North Korean coup, but they still didn't know about the attack on Fenghuang Mountain. At this time, they could not help but be amazed when they heard Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng talking about the war that day. They had always read Confucius and Mencius' paintings to entertain themselves, and they only read the matter of life and death in the face of the enemy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng met, and they thought it was an incredible thing.

"Young Master - Young Master -"

"Young Master - Young Master -"

Wuling, Lai Fu, Wang Dachui and Ruan Dacheng's servants arrived, and Zhang Yuan bowed to Wen Zhenmeng and others and said, "I'll invite you to have a drink tomorrow. By the way, do my colleagues in the Han Society often gather to give lectures?"

Wen Zhenmeng Dao: "I dare not abandon it. I gathered and exchanged at Dalongfu Temple twice a month, regardless of wind and rain."

Zhang Yuan said: "It's great, so please contact Brother Wen. Tomorrow, I will host a banquet for Hanshe colleagues at Yongchang Restaurant on Qipan Street."

Qian Shisheng said: "Of course we are here to welcome you two."

Zhang Dai followed Zhang Yuan to Lige Lao Hutong, and ordered Nengzhu to go back to the Paozi River to bring Suzhi and his son and Li Ko'er to Lige Lao Hutong, and to reunite.

Zhang Yuan asked: "Don't you invite Liu's sister-in-law together?"

Zhang Dai said: "It's not easy for her to go out. She has to make an appointment the first day, solemnly-" and shook her head and said: "I'll come with her in two days. She's very boring."

The two brothers called Wang Zongyue, 20, and the slaughtered the school. He talked about some of the things that Zhang Yuan left the capital. In addition to the deposed large numbers of Donglin officials, Zhang Dai said: "Qi 19 carbuncles the Shang Jingshi's family went south. 19 was broken by the magnesium jacket and was dismissed by Jing Huixiu. I wonder if it was cut?

Zhang Dai, a Hanlin Academy Shujishi, read and practiced calligraphy every day, which was similar to the free days he had not yet become an official, and the party struggles had not yet affected him, so he could not understand Zhang Yuan's urgency, and was only happy for Zhang Yuan's return safely and wanted to drink and celebrate in Zhang Yuan's house.

Seeing the optimistic and cheerful eldest brother of Zong, Zhang Yuan put aside his worries for the time being. He is also boring to worry about the country and the people these days.

It was about the end of Shen Shi, and the red sun was about to fall. The weather was still very hot in mid-July. Zhang Yuan and his elder brother Zhang Dai were just walking outside the Ming Gate with folding fans. The old servant Fu Cheng drove a carriage to pick him up. Fu Cheng smiled and said, "Young Master, Young Grandma, Aunt Mu and the two young masters are all waiting for the young master."

Zhang Yuan was in a hurry to go home to see his wife and children, but he didn't want to meet acquaintances on the road to delay greetings, so he and his elder brother drove through Banqiao Hutong, then crossed West Chang'an Street, and walked to Shichang Street. He saw someone looking at the entrance of Lige Lao Hutong. The servant Baima shouted, "The son-in-law is back, the son-in-law is back." He ran back like a flying man.

Zhang Yuan got off the car at the entrance of the alley and saw a servant looking at this side in front of the Jinzhu gate of his small courtyard, saying "Young Master is back, you are back."

Just then, a man suddenly caught up from behind panting: "Jiezi, Jiezi--"

When Zhang Yuan looked back, it was the teacher Yang Lian, who hurriedly bowed and said, "Teacher Yang has always been safe, and the students have just returned to Beijing."

Yang Lian took out a sweat towel and wiped his forehead, and said to Zhang Yuan: "Jie Zi, I'm going to be a prostitute for the pancreatic ゼ Wu Ge Lao...

Zhang Dai smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, it's not too late to ask my brother to go home to see his wife and children before going to visit Mr. Wu."

Yang Lian was impatient and said, "Yu Sheng had been in control of the flood for nine years, and he passed by his house three times but did not enter." He left with Zhang Yuan's hand.
