Haizhou Guard Commander Pu Yuanyi's urgent warning reached Liaoyang, and two sealed letters were sent to Liaodong Fuyuan and Jianyuan.
The Fu Yuan is the governor's yamen, while the Supervisory Yuan is obviously not the Metropolitan Inspector's Yuan. The Metropolitan Inspector's Yuan, including the yamen that oversees the censors, is called the Inspector's Yuan, while the Supervisory Yuan is the yamen that guards the eunuchs.
Liaodong Fuyuan is quite impressive, but it is just that. The decoration is not exquisite. The screen walls are made of ordinary materials, and there are not even a few flowers in the small flower garden. Overall, compared to Gaizhou's soldiers, Xianyamen is also larger in scale.
Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, had just been woken up by his servants. He came to the flower hall to wait, and was now drinking a cup of strong tea.
Judging from his deep frown, Zhou Futai was obviously in a bad mood, so the servants all stayed away. There was only one housekeeper at the door, who was yawning silently with his mouth open.
Not long after, a servant brought in a man with a lantern. The man was thin and not tall. He seemed to be in a hurry, with his head lowered and his hands behind his back.
As soon as the housekeeper saw the man, he immediately turned around and knocked gently on the door, saying, "Master, Guard Han is here."
Zhou Yong said a simple "um" from inside, and then there was the sound of the chair being pushed slightly. It seemed that Zhou Yong got up from behind the desk and pushed the chair back.
The door opened, and Zhou Yong appeared with a stern face. The thin little man revealed his true appearance. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a fair face and no beard. As soon as he saw Zhou Yong, he cupped his hands and said, "Zhou Junmen came to our house for the sake of Liaonan?"
The governor had many nicknames, including Futai, Fujun, Junmen, Zhongcheng, Si Xian, Duxian, etc., but he called Zhou Yong Junmen as soon as he opened his mouth, which obviously meant something.
Zhou Yong returned the salute with his hands raised, nodded and said: "Guardian Han, it is very rude for me to invite you to the courtyard at night. Please also guard Haihan... This is not a place to talk. Guard, please come in, and we will talk inside."
The two entered the flower hall, and the butler naturally went to serve tea first. Once the etiquette was completed, the butler went out to guard, and Zhou Yongcai sighed and said, "The guard also received the urgent report from Haizhou?"
Han Guang nodded solemnly and said: "A hundred households came to deliver a message in person, saying that the Tumen and Chaohua coalition forces of more than 20,000 cavalry suddenly went south and have arrived north of the Liao River, across the river from Dongchang Fort."
Zhou Yong nodded, but just had a sullen face and did not speak immediately.
Han Guang frowned and said, "The army doesn't seem to be in a hurry? Could it be that we already have a plan in mind?"
"To be honest with the guards, no." Zhou Yong shook his head gently.
Han Guang's expression changed slightly and his eyes flickered: "The governor of Liaodong, the military gate, is in charge of military affairs. If anything happens in southern Liaoning, the trouble for the military gate will be much bigger than ours."
"That's natural." Zhou Yong smiled instead and said: "Whatever happens in Liaonan actually has little to do with Guard Han. Unless something happens to Gao Qiuzhen, Guard Han may... It's hard to explain. "
Han Guang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Don't tell secret words in front of Mingren. If something happens to Gao Longwen, I'm afraid Han won't be able to let it go with just one easy explanation. But then again, if something happens to Gao Longwen, I’m afraid it’s really hard for you to explain to the military sect, right?”
Zhou Yong laughed, waved his hand and said: "Gao and Guo are my two generations of benefactors, and Zhang Gongfengpan, the current Yuanfu, is my room master... Naturally, I can't let anything happen to Qiuzhen. On this point, Han Zhenshou There shouldn’t be any doubt.”
Zhou Yong was on the gold list in the 41st year of Jiajing reign. At that time, he originally did just fine in the imperial examination, ranking 184th, but he did not do well in the court examination, and finally ranked 57th among the top three Jinshi. The examiner of his paper was Zhang Siwei, one of the examiners at the time.
This is the gold list of Renxu in the 41st year of Jiajing. It is the list where Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Yu Youding were the top three. The examiner at that time was Yuan Wei, a great scholar. There were two people who were promoted to official positions. The official one was Yan, the Minister of Rites. Na, the deputy is Gao Gong, the minister.
He also had a strong lineup of co-examiners, including Wang Xilie and Zhang Siwei, who were editors of the Hanlin Academy at the time, Ma Ziqiang, who was a reviewer of the Hanlin Academy, and Feng Menglong, who was in Duguishizhong at the time.
And Zhou Yong's room master happens to be Zhang Siwei, so if we round the corner, Zhou Yong can barely call Gao Jingshi "senior brother", and Gao Yong can barely call Zhou Yong "senior brother".
By the way, as a digression, in the original history, Zhou Yong was immediately impeached and removed from his post as governor of Jiliao just after Zhang Siwei had Ding You. This also shows the relationship between the two and Zhou Yong's faction.
As for Zhou Yong's statement that Duke Gao and Duke Guo were his benefactors, there is no need to explain this. Gao Gong himself was the official in his department, so he could just call him "teacher". Moreover, his official career went smoothly later on, and he also had a close relationship with him. Gao Gong and Guo Pu were both members of the township party. Of course, this was secondary in the early days. What was more important was that he was a student of Zhang Siwei.
Since he is Zhang Siwei's protégé, and Zhang Siwei's nephew is now in southern Liaoning, how dare he, Zhou Yong, to make the situation in southern Liaoning become uncontrollable and trap this crooked "brother"?
Therefore, when he said this, Han Guang's expression became much better, and he nodded and said: "It would be great if the army can figure out the relationship. To be honest with the army, our family doesn't understand the war. , our family only knows that Gao Longwen is in the heart of the emperor, that’s it!”
As he spoke, he stretched out his right thumb and made a strong gesture.
Then he said calmly: "So, if anyone dares not to pay attention to Gao Longwen's issue, no matter if he is the deputy commander or an uncle, our family believes that he will not last long."
This is interesting. Father-in-law, which deputy commander and uncle are you talking about?
However, Zhou Yong just smiled and changed the subject, saying: "The Four Guards in Southern Liaoning have a lot of troops, but they are scattered too widely, and the number of actual personnel is difficult to predict... "
Han Guang waved his hands and said: "We don't ask about these things. We just want to know whether Liaoyang can send reinforcements. If so, how many can be sent? Who will lead the troops and when can they be sent?"
This is a bit rude, and seems to mean something like "I don't care about that, I will do whatever I want".
However, Zhou Yong can understand Han Guang's anxiety. After all, Han Guang is backed by Chen Ju, and Chen Ju... is one of Gao Jingshi's right-hand men in the palace. If Gao Jingshi makes a mistake, Chen Ju can directly It wouldn't be surprising to call Han Guang back and then find a reason to kill him with a stick.
The "level difference" among eunuchs is even stricter than that of civil servants and military generals. For example, Han Guang was very popular in Liaodong, but if he met Chen Ju, he had to kowtow respectfully and call him godfather.
This "godfather" is no different than the godfathers of later generations. In the Ming Dynasty, filial piety was highly respected, and a father could almost be said to have the power of life and death over his son.
Back when Zhang Wenming was misbehaving in his hometown, Zhang Juzheng received accusations from countless fellow officials, so he could only reply with a bunch of nonsense, and then said with extreme helplessness... I really can't help it, he is my father.
There is a similar custom in the inner court. When you become a godfather, you have to treat the godfather as your biological father. If he is unhappy, he will scold you and hit you. The godson can only suffer, and even the emperor will not care about this.
Therefore, Zhou Yong was not angry because of Han Guang's words. He just said calmly: "Guard Han, don't be anxious. The headquarters invites you here just to send troops to help... If I am alone, I will order Qin Deyi to send troops south." , although he does not dare to disobey orders, he may push back and delay, but with the guards coming at the same time, he must not dare to do this. "
Han Guang nodded and said: "This is easy to handle. As long as it is to send troops as soon as possible, our family will naturally have a way to make Qin Deyi obedient."
