Chapter 71 Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai

Ma Yongcheng also felt that Wang Yangming was very saying, and came all the way from the capital. Although they prohibited local officials along the way from picking up and dropping off at the inn, they didn't even stay at the inn and rushed to the station, but the paper could not contain the fire, and the traces of their own and their group would be discovered sooner or later.

But Ma Yongcheng also had his own concerns and said, "But Zhang Yu and others may not be willing to surrender like this. Besides, there is a student of Li Dongyang who is the prefect of Xi'an to Dongsheng. Once this person knows that we, the officers and soldiers of the court, will definitely take some measures after they come to Xi'an."

"According to the speculation of the Xiaguan, since the magistrate has the responsibility to monitor Zhang Yu and others, he must be the person who monitors Zhang Yu and others at the foot of Mount Li. However, I just don't know if the magistrate has participated in the case of regicide, how much he can obey Li Dongyang;

The governor, the lower officials felt that we might as well divide our troops into two groups. The lower officials and Commander Yang went to Lishan to get people. You and Youbaihu went to Xi'an Prefecture to see the prefect inquiring about the details. If he was a disciple of Li Dongyang but was loyal to the court, he would naturally send troops to help us get people. If he was loyal to Li Dongyang, you could also stop him."

Wang Yangming didn't care that he was just a Hanlin bachelor's degree, and Ma Yongcheng was the high-ranking admiral of the East Factory and arranged it directly.

Ma Yongcheng was not angry about it, and said, "No! Commander Yang will go with you, and Youbaihu will go with you to get people. This governor will bring more than ten military officers to Xi'an to meet here."

It was not that Ma Yongcheng was so arrogant that he wanted to bring only ten more soldiers to the prefect of Xi'an, but that he did not fully trust Wang Yangming, a civil servant.

Because only Wang Yangming can communicate with the commander of Juesheng Guard, Yang Mao, which means that Wang Yangming is actually the supreme commander of Juesheng Guard.

Ma Yongcheng was worried that Wang Yangming would take advantage of his own people not to falsely send orders to Jueshengwei to destroy Zhang Yu and others. After all, civil servants have always been cunning, and this was what his emperor Zhu Houzhao had warned him countless times.

Wang Yangming also understood Ma Yongcheng's meaning, but he did not expose it. He just bowed and said, "In this way, then follow the order of the governor, and the subordinates took Commander Yang and the people from Youbai House to Mount Li first to get people, and the governor took care of himself!"

As he said that, Wang Yangming rode his horse and took Yang Mao and others to Mount Li under the guidance of the Dongchang spy.

...

Zhang Yu's life at the foot of Mount Li is very prosperous now. There are dozens of concubines and hundreds of servants serving him every day. Liu Wentai and others are not far from each other. These people don't want to be exiled to guard the border, but they seem to be here to enjoy their happiness.

On this day, Zhang Yu also received news that the imperial court's Jinyiwei appeared in Xi'an Prefecture. He only asked Liu Wentai, who came to explain the latest news to him: "Is it really the imperial court sent to pick up Wang Shu?"

"Yes, I said that Wang Shu was asked to go to Beijing to be the Minister of Personnel," Liu Wentai replied.

"Wang Shu was idle at home for many years, and now he is over 90 years old. The court actually asked him to go to Beijing to take charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Is Ma Wensheng really overthrown by the three assistants? But even if Ma Wensheng was overthrown, the three assistants would not revive Wang Shu again!"

Zhang Yu analyzed.

"Eunuch Zhang, did you think it was an excuse they made on purpose, and it was said that they were escorting Wang Shu to Beijing to actually come to us. Gefu and others wouldn't really want to destroy our mouths, right?" Liu Wentai asked with some concern.

Because Zhu Houzhao's control of the inner court to overthrow Wang Yue and others and the chief minister of the cabinet Liu Jian and the third assistant of the cabinet Xie Qian resigned were just a series of events at the end of October, even though Zhang Yu and others still had their own spies in the capital, they had not had time to pass on it here.

Therefore, Liu Wentai didn't know what happened in the capital, and only thought that it was Liu Jian and other cabinet ministers who came to destroy them. After all, this is what they have always been worried about.

Zhang Yu did not answer Liu Wentai's words, but asked directly: "Do you know who the chief officer who came to pick up Wang Shu?"

"I don't know. According to our people, these Jinyiwei are very strict and don't even speak," Liu Wentai replied.

"It's just November of the 18th year of Hongzhi, and the imperial court should not have any changes. If we come to us, we will probably be from the cabinet. Unfortunately, there is a newly established inspection department that has been staring at us, otherwise we will move out of the Great Wall today to see what else they can do!"

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Liu Wentai couldn't help but say in a little frustrated: "My father-in-law doesn't know that there are people outside the border."

After hearing Liu Wentai say this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but look at Liu Wentai depressedly and said, "Then we can't sit still and wait for death! If they dare to destroy us, then we will inform Shaanxi Governor Yang Yiqing and his Li Dongyang's door to Dongsheng, so that his good disciple can see whether the Gefu he admires is loyal or treacherous!"

While Zhang Yu was talking, he saw his housekeeper running: "Master, there is a team of people outside the manor, saying that they are from the Gefu."

Liu Wentai looked tight and asked hurriedly: "Father-in-law, are they really here to destroy us?"

Zhang Yu gave Liu Wentai a speechless look: "What are you afraid of? I am just a eunuch now and I am not afraid of you. What are you afraid of as a man? If they want to silence them, it proves that their life in the court is not easy. We don't need to be afraid of them anymore. Call us and meet us when we go out!"

As Zhang Yu said that, he brought Liu Wentai and others who participated in the murder of Emperor Hongzhi and hundreds of kids with him to the manor city gate. Looking at a large group of Jinyiwei and a civil servant outside the city gate, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's true that they are from the Pavilion Assistant, otherwise the guys in the Inspection Department would not have noticed it."

As he said that, Zhang Yu shouted loudly to the civil servant under the city gate: "Dare you ask who this lord is? After receiving the order from the assistant minister, why did you suddenly come here to see us? Should you really take us to guard the border, or do you want to let us see the late emperor on the spot!"

"Not! Eunuch Zhang doesn't know that during the period after you were exiled, many major events happened in the capital. The emperor intended that Liu Jin and others control the inner court, while Eunuch Wang and the cabinet assistant had successfully stopped the emperor and killed the eunuchs such as Liu Jin. Now Liu Jin and others have been killed. The emperor is more easily controlled than before. He is indulged in beauty and has lost his body and is bedridden. The status of the cabinet elders is more respectful. Therefore, in order to thank Eunuch Zhang and others for saving the gentry in the world, he wants Eunuch Zhang and others to go to Jiangnan to rest!"

Wang Yangming is now in order to deceive Zhang Yu, and he dares to say anything. He keeps ranking Liu Jin and other eight tigers, and even Emperor Zhu Houzhao doesn't let go. Yang Mao couldn't hear it, but You Baihu almost drew his sword and killed Wang Yangming first.

However, Youbaihu also knew that Wang Yangming was deliberately lying to trick Zhang Yu into opening the city gate, so he forced himself to hold it back.

When Liu Wentai saw that he had not come to destroy his mouth, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was eager to go to a rich and gentle hometown like Jiangnan to enjoy his happiness.
