Qin Ce's Central Army was responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi. Before, because of amnesia, the Empress Dowager's family took advantage of the loophole. Now that he is back, as long as he raises his arms, the old ministries respond, and it is only sooner or later to retake the imperial city. However, in order to ensure the safety of the little emperor, Qin Ce did not make a big splash, but secretly made arrangements to try to fight without blood.
On this day, the subordinates he sent finally captured the Empress Dowager's direct son alive and brought it back to the barracks.
Qin Ce severely tortured the other party and came up with a list of traitors, and that night he was ready to raid the imperial city to clean up the court situation. Several generals gathered in the tent to play the sand table, and suddenly they heard someone report from outside, "General Yu, someone outside the camp is asking to see you."
General Yu was Qin Ce's capable general, as well as General Dingyuan who was previously ordered to protect the Zhu family. Seeing that the governor frowned and showed dissatisfaction, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Things that don't wink are all at this time, even if the emperor is here! Tell him to leave quickly!"
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then said, "The other party claimed to be Zhu Ziyu from Qingmin County, who came to deliver food and grass for the general."
As the saying goes, the troops and horses move first without food and grass, which shows the importance of food and grass supply to the army's operations. The eyes of several generals were all bright, and they all looked at the governor.
Why did Ziyu come to deliver food and grass to Yucheng? Qin Ce frowned, and waved his hand, "Bring him in. Yucheng stays, and you leave first."
Several generals bowed and retired.
"What's your relationship with Ziyu? Did you know each other before?"
The governor's tone sounded very gloomy, Yu Cheng was slightly startled, and quickly replied, "This subordinate and Zhu Gongzi have never lived together. I was ordered by the governor to protect the Zhu family. I wanted to come to Zhu Gongzi to be grateful for this, so I came here specially to send him off. forage."
It was obviously his own order, but the benefits were given to his subordinates. Qin Ce was very upset, but he didn't want to reveal his identity at this time, so he had to hide behind the screen and said, "You talk to him, I'll avoid it for a while. avoid."
Yucheng was confused by the second monk Zhang, but he didn't ask much, so he had to ask Young Master Zhu to come in.
The curtain was opened, and a young man wearing a crimson gauze with a beautiful appearance walked in slowly. His thin red lips were naturally upturned. Even if he didn't smile, he seemed to have a three-point smile. The gleaming crystal clear bottom, as if affectionate or ruthless, makes people involuntarily fall for it.
This is a figure comparable to the scorching sun, and he is the focus of attention wherever he goes.
Yu Cheng was stunned, and after returning to his senses, he searched for cinnabar moles on the other side without a trace. Brother's cinnabar mole usually grows in a very obvious position, either on the wrist, on the earlobe, or between the eyebrows. The redder the color, the more positive the position, the higher the value. If any brother can grow a blushing cinnabar mole on the center of his eyebrows, it is simply a fairy coming down to earth and asking for it from all directions.
But it's a pity that Ren Yucheng couldn't find a cinnabar mole no matter how he looked. He had to regretfully admit that this young master Zhu was a man, and he turned out to be a man when he grew up.
His heart was tangled into chaos, but Yucheng didn't show it at all, and asked straight to the point, "Dare to ask Zhu Gongzi why he came to deliver the food?" There is no free lunch in the world, and everyone understands this truth.
Zhou Yunsheng didn't talk nonsense, and cupped his hands, "To be honest, Zhu does have something to ask for the general. Three years ago, Zhu's parents encountered bandits in the Luoshui area, and both of them were killed. Luoshui is the general's jurisdiction, and Zhu dared to take the initiative. , at the cost of 200,000 load of grain, ask the general to send troops to suppress the bandits and eliminate the harm for the people."
Although Zhu Ziyu's only wish was to keep the Zhu family, Zhou Yun Sheng felt that this was not enough, since he had robbed other people's lives, he must do his best.
Of course, in addition to this, he also wanted to find out the truth of this General Dingyuan. Yucheng is eight feet tall, handsome in appearance and cold in temperament, and exudes a familiar smell of tobacco, how he looks like his long-lost lover.
If it were normal, Yucheng would naturally not refuse, but now the court situation is in jeopardy, he has a heavy responsibility and is powerless, so he can only say apologetically, "Master Zhu's request, I am afraid that Yu will not be able to agree. What's more important, it's really lack of skills..."
Zhou Yun Sheng knew that he would be devastated by the matter of taking the palace for the Empress Dowager, so he waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, after this matter, Zhu will come to bother the general again. The 200,000 load of food will be left to the general first, which is a little of Zhu's. My heart. The general guarded the Zhu family before, but Zhu has not had time to thank him yet."
If he doesn't smile, he is already dazzling, and when he smiles sincerely, it is dazzling and dizzying. Yucheng was stunned again, hurriedly waved his hand and said 'it should be'.
Zhou Yun Sheng didn't dare to stay in the military area, he was about to leave after a short hand, and when he was about to leave the camp, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Does the general like to smoke cigarettes?"
"Yes, is Zhu Gongzi smothered by the smell of smoke on my body?" Yu Cheng awkwardly lifted the hem of his clothes.
"No, this smells very good." Zhou Yun Sheng slightly curled his lips and walked away. In the past, I always felt that the smell of smoke was pungent, but when I couldn't smell it, I suddenly realized that I was used to it. It's an extra reassuring flavor.
Yucheng's cheeks flushed red, and when he was far away, he realized that the Governor was standing in front of him, his face dark and gloomy.
"You're not allowed to smoke dry cigarettes in the future. When you go back, throw away your bong."
"Why?"
"Too much smoking is not good for the body, and it is easy to cough when the weather is cool."
"But the Governor, you are more powerful than me."
"I quit after I lost my memory." But now it's time to pull it back.
Thinking of this, Qin Ce lowered his head and sniffed his arm, and found that there was only a refreshing smell of acacia and no smoke, so he frowned very unhappily.
That night, 100,000 soldiers of the Chinese army suddenly surrounded the imperial city inside and outside, capturing all 137 members of the Queen Mother's mother's family alive. The queen mother wanted to hold the little emperor to break through the siege, but found that the little emperor was missing.
The Queen Mother couldn't, so she had to be captured.
In the early morning of the next day, the death knell rang inside and outside the imperial city. The fourth-generation Emperor Chu Yun died. The throne passed to the young prince, who was not yet five years old at the time. Gu Ming ministers, assisting the government.
The whole country mourned for March. After March, the little prince ascended the throne, exempted from taxes, opened the Enke, and granted amnesty to the world. Then, a torrential rain came suddenly, bringing good news to the country of Chu Yun, who was thousands of miles away.
After pacifying the court situation, Qin Ce, who had inherited the title of Marquis of Shenwei, hand-picked 50,000 soldiers to go to Luoshui to suppress the bandits, while his cronies went to the Zhang family with heavy gifts to thank him.
The food and bank notes before were naturally not enough to buy Qin Ce's life. This time, he added a lot of gold and silver jewelry and several mansions, which were delivered to Zhang's door with great fanfare. He also invited famous teachers to teach Zhang Jiaruiyan.
The story that the Zhang family saved the Marquis of Shenwei spread all over the countryside, and all the people who bullied the Zhang family were retaliated by Zhang Shulin and Zhang Jiarui. After another month, Zhang Jiarui went to Beijing to participate in the autumn season, and won the sixth place in the second-class competition. Then he participated in the spring season and high school again.
In the final palace examination, the little emperor heard that the Zhang family was kind to the Marquis of Shenwei, so he appointed Zhang Jiarui as the Tanhua Lang.
The former magistrate of Qingmin County was promoted to the prefect of Zhaozhou because of his meritorious service in escorting, and Zhang Jiarui took his place naturally and became the new county magistrate.
Zhang Jiarui, who thought he would stay in the Hanlin Academy, was very dissatisfied with this position. He visited the Marquis of Shenwei several times to try to clear up the relationship, but he could not get in through the door, so he had to take office full of resentment.
Zhang Shulin was extremely happy, thinking that since his younger brother became the emperor of Qingmin County, he would be able to show his strength without restraint, and would not be afraid of offending any local snake.
He plans to open a winery, specialized in making wine. Since there is no large-scale grape cultivation in Qingmin County, the acquisition cost may be high, so I plan to buy a hill and grow it myself. After searching around Qingmin County for a few days, he finally settled on a mountain, and when people found out that the mountain belonged to the Zhu family, he sent a message to Zhu Ziyu.
"Not for sale." Zhou Yun Sheng simply refused.
Zhang Shulin still did not give up, and increased his reserve price by 10% to report it to the other party.
"I told you not to sell it." Zhou Yun Sheng is cheap and no one will be cheap to the Zhang family.
Zhang Shulin couldn't, so he had to continue wandering in the mountains. However, the soil and water conditions of the other hills are not as good as those of Zhu's family, so high-quality grapes cannot be grown. He's a picky Virgo and has lost a lot of hair about it.
"He won't sell it?" Zhang Jiarui heard about this and sneered, "Then I'll go talk to him in person." As the so-called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, now he is the parent official of Qingmin County, who can't How much face do you sell him? Zhu Ziyu repeatedly rejected his brother's request several times, almost blatantly hitting him in the face.
The county magistrate came to the door in person, no matter how bored Zhou Yunsheng was, he had to invite someone in.
The two sat opposite each other, both subcutaneously not smiling.
"Zhu Gongzi, my brother likes that mountain, give me a price."
"You make a price first?" Zhou Yun Sheng took a sip from the teacup.
"How's this number?" Zhang Jiarui stretched out a slap.
Zhou Yun Sheng laughed immediately, "My Zhu family spent 800 taels to buy mountains, you cut off 300 taels for me at once, Master Zhang, are you doing business or robbing?"
Zhang Jiarui narrowed his eyes and said, "You give me a benefit today, and I will give you a convenience tomorrow. We can benefit from each other, and no one suffers. Zhu Gongzi is extremely smart, and he will definitely make the right choice."
As the saying goes, the people do not fight against the officials, a small land mainly trying to compete with the county magistrate is no different from hitting a stone with an egg. However, Zhou Yun Sheng is stubborn, and the more he is persecuted, the more he will rebound. He sneered, "I don't want anything from Master Zhang, and there is no mutual benefit. I won't sell this mountain, Master Zhang, please." .
Zhang Jiarui didn't expect him to be so tough, his face turned from red to white, then from white to blue, and gritted his teeth, "Master Zhu, I hope you don't regret it in the future."
"Why, do you still want to use your power to suppress people? To suppress the family of benevolence and kindness that the emperor praised, you have to find a good name, otherwise be careful that the black hat will not be guaranteed." Zhou Yun Sheng pointed to the golden plaque enshrined in the hall, and wrote a letter' The house of benevolence' is four words. With this plaque, anyone who wants to move the Zhu family has to weigh it first.
Zhang Jiarui was full of anger, choked back by his words, and strode away with a bruised face.
