Zhang Xin returned to his mansion.
His father was Zhang Xing, a veteran who followed Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang across the river to fight.
Zhang Xing spent his whole life fighting in the south and north, and was promoted to Yongning Guards to command the Qian affairs, and was promoted to General Mingwei.
After Zhang Xing died of illness, according to the hereditary military system, Zhang Xin inherited the post of commander of the Yongping Guards. Soon after, he was marched to Panjiang and other places, and transferred to Guizhou to serve as the commander of the Puding Guards.
But Zhang Xin didn't expect that he would be recommended by Huang Zicheng and get involved in the whirlpool of fighting in Peiping.
He had no acquaintance with Huang Zicheng, the minister of Taichang Temple, but this man deliberately recommended him to become the commander of the Peking Capital Division and forced Zhang Xin to secretly pass the Peking information to him.
Zhang Xin didn't want to agree at first, but Huang Zicheng was a confidant of the new emperor Zhu Yunwen. As a mere veteran, Zhang Xin didn't dare to refuse at all, so he could only humiliatingly act as a trap for Huang Zicheng.
But he hated this job from the bottom of his heart!
A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?
Zhang Xin wants to conquer the battlefield and expand his territory rather than conspiring with Zhou Shu, a eunuch, and Xie Gui, a fool, to capture Yan King Zhu Di!
Zhang Xin admired the world-famous Prince Yan very much.
At that time, his father Zhang Xing also followed the King of Yan Zhu Di to fight in the fortress, and he highly respected the King of Yan Zhu Di who was both wise and brave.
It was because of his father's influence that Zhang Xin also respected Zhu Di very much.
After all, he had guarded the northern border for eighteen years and defeated the Mongolian barbarians so that they did not dare to look south. This achievement alone is enough to make him famous throughout the ages!
But precisely because of this, the new emperor Zhu Yunwen regarded King Yan Zhu Di as a thorn in his side and had been plotting to get rid of King Yan.
Zhang Xin was unwilling from the bottom of his heart. What's more, now that he learned that Zhu Yunqi had no regard for blood and family ties and ordered them to take action on New Year's Eve to wipe out Prince Yan's palace, this made Zhang Xin even more angry.
Such a ruthless person, sitting on that dragon chair, would be more of a disaster than a blessing to the people of the Ming Dynasty!
However, the situation is stronger than the person, and Zhang Xin can't change anything.
When he thought of this, Zhang Xin couldn't help but sigh, locked himself in the room, and drank alone.
Soon his mother heard the news and hurried over.
Zhang Xin was sincere and filial, and was very kind to his mother. No matter where he went to work, he would take his old mother with him and take care of him personally. Therefore, the relationship between mother and son was very deep.
As soon as he heard his mother coming, Zhang Xin quickly opened the door.
Seeing his appearance, Zhang's mother was suddenly a little surprised.
"Son, what's going on? But did you encounter something unpleasant?"
Zhang Xin did not want to reveal the secrets of the court and made a vague excuse.
"Mom is worried too much. Her son is commanding the border army, and she is new here, so she has more worries."
However, as the saying goes, "No one knows more than his mother." Mother Zhang could tell at a glance that her son was perfunctory.
"Son, my mother knows you best."
"Even if you were transferred to Puding Guard, I would never have seen you so worried."
Han and Yi people live together in Yunnan and Guizhou, so the situation is more complicated than in northern Xinjiang. In addition, Yunnan and Guizhou are densely forested, poisonous insects are rampant, and the living conditions are even worse. My son has never been so frustrated.
Zhang's mother is a smart person and directly tore through Zhang Xin's disguise.
"My son, if you have any worries, would you like to tell me?"
"Although your mother and I are just a woman, I have been with your father all my life. I have also met Taizu Emperor Gao and even had drinks and meals with him. I can be considered to have seen the world."
Hearing his mother's deliberately comforting words, Zhang Xin suddenly smiled.
He didn't want to keep hiding it from his mother, so he simply told all about his current difficult situation.
"The Taichang Temple Minister Huang Zicheng forced me to act as a secret agent for him and deliver news from Peking to him at any time!"
"Son, I am not willing to be restricted by others, but I am also afraid of Huang Zicheng's power, so I am so worried and angry for a while!"
Hearing this, Mother Zhang sighed.
Huang Zicheng is a close official of the new emperor, and his son is just a mere commander, how can he offend him!
After a pause, Zhang Xin sighed again and revealed a secret again.
"Mother, you don't know that a secret edict has just been sent from the imperial court, ordering me to rush into Prince Yan's Mansion on New Year's Eve, capture Prince Zhu Di and his men, and escort them back to the capital. This is a perfect example!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang's mother's face suddenly changed, and she stood up suddenly in shock.
"no!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Don't do this!"
Seeing this situation, Zhang Xin looked at his mother blankly.
He didn't understand why his mother had such a big reaction!
Is it possible that the old Zhang family really has something to do with His Highness King Yan?
Seeing her son's questioning eyes, Zhang's mother revealed the truth.
"Back then, your father followed General Xu Da in the northern expedition to Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, and he met His Highness King Yan in the army."
"Then General Xu Da died of illness, and His Highness King Yan took over as General Xu Da to command the three armies. Your father followed His Highness King Yan to the fortress for many battles. Not only did they have a comradeship on the battlefield, but also because His Highness King Yan clearly distinguished rewards and punishments, so he was even more like him. brother."
"Not only your father, but all the generals in Xu Da's old army, and even all the generals in the entire northern Xinjiang, all agreed that the king's power lies in Yan, and His Highness the King of Yan has the image of a human master!"
"So you must not be confused at this time and follow them to attack His Highness King Yan, otherwise it is very likely to cause the annihilation of the clan!"
Hearing his mother's words, Zhang Xin's scalp was numb with shock.
He had never thought that his old Zhang family had such a connection with His Highness King Yan!
He never thought that his father and the frontier generals would admire King Zhu Di of Yan so highly!
Wang Qi is in Yan!
The image of the Lord!
Isn't this tantamount to saying that King Yan Zhu Di is the emperor?
Zhang Xin became even more anxious and didn't know what to do.
On the contrary, Zhang's mother saw her son's hesitation, and a shrewd look flashed in her eyes.
"Son, I want to ask you a question for my mother's sake!"
"Do you want to be Huang Zicheng's lackey and be controlled by others for the rest of your life, or do you want to give it a try and be the minister of the dragon?"
"Mom, you..." Zhang Xin was shocked and looked at his mother in disbelief.
He didn't expect that his mother would be so courageous!
Mother Zhang smiled, a little domineering!
"Your mother followed your father and followed Taizu across the river. What scene has she not seen before?"
"Back then, your father was just an armored commander beside Taizu. In order to boost morale before Taizu crossed the river, he specially served him a farewell drink. Your father and your mother were the ones who drank the toast from Taizu himself!"
"So, my son can't be a bloodless coward. If you really act in accordance with the imperial edict, you will become Huang Zicheng's lackey from now on. You will be depressed and frustrated all your life. My mother doesn't want to see you live like this!"
"The most important thing is that you can't embarrass your father. If it had been the time when Taizu was in power, no civil servant would have dared to be so arrogant. If he had talked to your father like this, he would have been beaten to death by your father!"
Mother Zhang joked with a smile.
The Hongwu court is the world of martial artists!
Now as soon as the new emperor takes the throne, all kinds of monsters and monsters will appear!
It’s really a deteriorating world and people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be!
"Mom, baby, I understand!"
When Zhang Xin heard this, he immediately made up his mind!
His father, Zhang Xing, was the commander of Taizu's armor. How could he, Zhang Xin, be a dog for the literati?
Instead of being a lackey like Huang Zicheng for the rest of his life, why not give it a go and become a minister who obeys the dragon!
"The king's energy is in Yan, the king's energy is in Yan!"
