"What does Lu Shuang have to do with you?"
In Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying asked straight to the point.
Zhang San has been with him for more than seven years, and for five years, he has been working as a personal bodyguard. At this point, he has long been very familiar with Zhang San's situation.
He didn't reprimand him for anything.
Zhang San said frankly: "She is very similar to my sister."
Zhu Ying nodded slightly, finally understanding.
"You haven't done enough in the Lu family's affairs. You must have read Jin Yiwei's rules and regulations. Maybe you think the Lu family doesn't have much to do with it, but sometimes, you know people but don't know their hearts. What you saw, It may not be quite what you imagine.”
"A treacherous person looks like a loyal person, looks like a wild person on the outside, but hides cunning and deceit inside. In today's world, many people will deliberately disguise their reputation so that it is difficult for outsiders to see."
"How will your colleagues in Jinyiwei view you for letting the Lu family go so lightly? Is it possible that other families, if they have personal connections, can be like you?"
"Or, you are doing these things as a close confidant of my palace, and others cannot interfere or hinder you."
When Zhang San heard this, he was immediately frightened and knelt down and said: "My boss, Zhang San definitely has no such idea."
This would be an extremely serious blow to Zhang San.
Ever since he was rescued by Zhu Ying, he has always regarded Zhu Ying as everything to him.
His boss is the only light in his dark life.
When it comes to loyalty, Zhang San can honestly say that no one in the world can compare with him.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang San can become the leader of Zhu Ying's personal bodyguards. His daily thoughts and training have only one purpose, to protect the owner's family.
This belief has never wavered in his heart.
But today, when his boss was reprimanding him for using his identity as a confidant to do things, he really panicked.
He, who had never been afraid of anything, was afraid and trembling.
He was afraid that his employer would no longer trust him.
Hearing this call from the boss, Zhu Ying sighed a little in his heart.
Thinking of all the past events, it is not easy to get to where we are today.
During this period, Zhang San bravely moved forward many times without hesitation, which can be considered as a great contribution to himself.
Zhu Ying didn't have much intention to punish Zhang San, so Zhu Ying raised her hand and said: "Get up, don't be so panicked, I'm just telling you the reason."
"But I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here any longer."
"The government offices in this world are extremely mixed. You and I have been traveling together for many years, and we have seen a lot."
"However, the conditions of those yamen are different. Most of them are local schools, but Jinyiwei is unique."
"When outsiders talk about Jin Yiwei, he is nothing more than a notorious figure, a hawk and a dog in the court, but he is also the only one where officials and businessmen cannot interfere."
"Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, when grandpa established Jinyiwei, there has never been any collusion with officials and businessmen. Even some extra income has been recorded in Jinyiwei in great detail."
Zhu Yingying explained thoughtfully.
Zhang San's face showed a look of shame. Only then did he realize that he had broken the rules of the Jinyiwei Yamen without knowing it.
"Your Highness, Zhang San is guilty, please punish him."
Zhang San knelt down on one knee and said.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying said: "If I remember correctly, Erya should have arrived in the capital by now."
"Don't let Erya feel cold about the matter between Lu Shuang. I know you can't speak, but you can't stand others talking."
"Of course, if you are interested in Lu Shuang, there is no problem in marrying them both."
Erya is a woman who has become strong since she was injured due to a misunderstanding when Zhang San returned to the Western Regions to send a message.
Although they are not Han Chinese, there is not much concept of ethnic antagonism in the Western Regions. Including the current Ming Dynasty, ethnic unity is the mainstay.
From the post station to the other side, it is not like rushing to the other side. From the Western Regions to Nanjing, traveling through mountains and rivers, more than 7,000 miles, it is not within reach, let alone a round trip.
Zhang San heard this and said quickly: "I have no other intentions towards Lu Shuang of the Lu family. It's just that when we met, I felt like a little sister, so that's why."
"Based on the time, Erya should be able to arrive in the capital before the new year. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
After finishing these words, it was almost time to get to the main topic. After a short pause, Zhu Ying said: "When I went to Liaodong to investigate the black soil, you still remember it."
Zhang San replied: "I remember."
Zhu Ying said: "Now regarding Liaodong, I told my grandpa yesterday about the slaves doing black soil. This morning, I announced it to the ministers. In the near future, I will make a notice to announce it to the world."
"The matter of adjusting the black soil is of great importance and involves Zuo, the country of the Ming Dynasty. However, to open up the wasteland in the Northeast, I have no one under my command who I can trust."
Zhu Ying does have many capable subordinates under his command, but Zhu Ying has a good idea of the situation of those people.
Although he had shown kindness and even saved many people from the famine, they were all free-range. The black soil in the Northeast was of great importance. Without reliable people to garrison there, there was no telling how much would be stolen.
Moreover, it is far away from the capital, so it is completely unclear what kind of things are coming from it.
Zhang Bo is already old, not to mention Ye Yueqing.
After thinking about it, it seems that Zhang San is the most suitable one.
At least in terms of loyalty, there is no need to worry, no matter what the situation, it is extremely easy to manage.
Zhang San is like Zhu Ying, and Mu Ying is like Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Ying's current idea is to make Zhang San the second Mu family, to rule Liaodong forever and educate foreigners.
Zhang San, who has been able to serve as Zhu Ying's personal guard for so many years, is also very capable in terms of personal ability.
Jin Yiwei's matter does not mean that Zhang San is not good. In fact, there is no Jin Yiwei like him in other places. Everything depends on his will.
Zhu Ying didn't care about the brothers who followed Zhang San, drank alcohol, ate meat, and were hungover from brothels.
After all, one person achieves enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
I have been suppressed for so many years, and I have shed blood and sweat for the Chamber of Commerce. Because I am guarding Zhu Ying, I don't have any rest and relaxation like others, so now it is normal for people to have some entertainment.
After hearing this, Zhang San immediately understood what His Highness meant.
But there was a trace of hesitation in my heart.
This hesitation was not due to anything else, but because after he accepted this errand, it would be unknown what year or month he would see His Highness again.
For more than five years, he has been by His Highness's side. Even if he only goes out, he will return quickly.
When I leave, I will not know how old I am.
Thinking of this, Zhang San's eyes turned red, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Zhang San is willing to defend the land and open up borders for His Highness, and forever control Liaodong."
