In the evening, because of the success of this negotiation, Wang Chonggu and Fang Feng held a banquet in the General Military Mansion to celebrate, and Cheng Anhou also came to the city from the outside camp, this time there were not as many people as when we were greeted last time, and only the civil officials above the fourth grade, and the military attaché and above were qualified to come here to participate in the banquet.

There are more than 20 officials in the hall, this time it is Zhang Juzheng and Cheng Anhou in the main position, I am Zhang Juzheng's student, plus I am young, although I am a Qincha, I have to succumb to the four of them.

Because the successful conclusion of this negotiation can be regarded as a very successful one, avoiding a war and arresting Zhao Quan, which can be said to be an unexpected gain. Whether it is a minister or a general, they all went to Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu to toast a few times, the atmosphere was very good, the wine was over three rounds of dishes and five flavors, Zhang Juzheng stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the generals, the emperor has come to the holy decree this afternoon, as soon as the matter is over, Ben Qincha will return to the court, today by the celebration banquet of Lord Wang, here Ben Qincha thanks you for your help and support." In the remaining days, the official will mainly take a look at the Xuanfu, and go back to give the emperor a fold to develop the Xuanfu, and now the Xuanfu market is open, and there is no threat of war, and the prosperity of the Xuanfu is just around the corner. ”

As soon as Zhang Juzheng's speech ended, there was a round of applause, and Wang Chonggu stood up and said: "All of this is thanks to the emperor's gift and the two Qincha lords." The success of this negotiation with the 'Mongolian' ancients can be said to be a major victory. In ten years, there will be no war in Xuanfu, and when the border is peaceful, our Xuanfu will be prosperous, and it will no longer be a simple military town, but will also be prosperous in the future. This official hereby declares that in the future, there are families of soldiers who are willing to do business, and we also strongly support it, and now Lord Qinchalan wants to open a silver account in our Xuanfu, and everyone doesn't know about this silver number, it was opened by the emperor for our convenience, and now it is in charge of Lord Lan. As long as the silver horn of the Lan people is opened in Xuanfu, the prosperity of our Xuanfu will not be far away. In the future, we can also use silver tickets to "trade" with the "Mongolian" ancients, which is a good thing, that is, convenient and practical, saving a lot of trouble in cash silver "trading". ”

Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi sang and talked about the prosperous scene of Xuanfu in the future, and when the two of them finished speaking, a four-grade civil official stood up and said: "My lord, today the official came to report, saying that our Xuanfu and prestigious people are in tandem, and they want to come to send the Wanmin umbrella to Lord Qincha, and thank Lord Qincha for arresting Zhao Quan." ”

It was the prefect of Xuanfu who spoke, and I didn't know what the name was, but I heard Fang Fengshi say: "Okay, Governor Zhang, you will come over tomorrow, let's make the momentum bigger, this is the most celebrateable thing in Xuanfu over the years, it just so happens that Lord Zhang and Lord Lan are here, and we will also have fun with the people." ”

Everyone was very excited when they heard that the people of Xuanfu were going to come to send Wanmin umbrellas, after all, Xuanfu has been on the front line for many years, whether it is an official or a civilian, everyone is worried and doesn't know. When will the ancients call over, now Zhang Juzheng came over and solved this problem, this is also the biggest happy event in Xuanfu, it is normal for the people to send a Wanmin umbrella to express it, no one cares, in fact, the news of Zhao Quan's arrest was blocked, how could the people outside know that Zhao Quan was arrested, and they also came to thank Lord Zhang, but they were all immersed in excitement and joy, and did not pay attention to this flaw, and I didn't expect the relationship.

Early the next morning, the General Military Office arranged for the delivery of umbrellas to the people, and a shed was set up at the entrance of the big 'gate', and tables and chairs were arranged. After getting it, Wang Chonggu came to the back and invited us to the front, after sitting on the chair, waiting for the people of Xuanfu to send the umbrella, I was on the right side of Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu was on the left side of Zhang Juzheng, Fang did not sit down, commanding the soldiers outside, and the prefect Zhang, who was also busy arranging soldiers and servants, today is a good day, the sun is also shining warmly, everything is so quiet, there is no abnormality.

After sitting for a while, there are more and more people here, all of them are watching the excitement, and the people who really came to send the Wanmin umbrella have not yet come, and there is a road flashing in the middle of the excitement, which is waiting for the few respected old men in Xuanfu to come.

After a while, in the sound of gongs and drums, a team of five or six hundred people walked here, and when they got closer, they saw that the leaders were not the old men, but only one old man, most of them were young and strong young men, some were carrying food boxes, some were holding wooden boxes, and it was estimated that they had bought gifts with money, so the soldiers did not check and stop them, and they walked straight to us.

When we were four or five steps away, the prefect of Xuanfu greeted us and asked, "Stop, what are you here for?" Actually, this is a program, in order to lead to the following words.

The old man who took the lead was Zhao Quan's henchman, the eldest brother in Xuanfu was called Sun Mazi, and when he saw the prefect ask him, he hurriedly said: "Lord Prefect, the small people are 'excited' Lord Qincha Zhang, and we have saved our Xuanfu from the disaster of swords and soldiers, and also caught our enemy Zhao Quan, and the people of our Xuanfu are grateful for the kindness of Lord Qincha, and specially pooled money to make an umbrella for the people, and a little gift to Lord Qincha, which is also a little heart of our people in Xuanfu, and we strongly request that Zhao Quan' Handed over to us to deal with, this person has committed a great crime and has done a lot of bad things in Xuanfu. Therefore, please be gracious to Lord Qincha and behead that Zhao Quan in Xuanfu, and snow the hatred of the people of Xuanfu. ”

Zhang Juzheng and I are not far away, the old man's words, we heard it clearly, and the old man spoke loudly, and there was also a mind for us to hear. Zhang Juzheng listened to the old man's words and asked Wang Chonggu beside him: "Lord Wang, this Zhao Quan has also done a lot of bad things in Xuanfu, you see that the people's anger is not small." ”

"Lord Zhang, this Zhao Quan often leads people to 'riot' to disturb the border of Xuanfu, and the peasants outside have suffered from him, and he is also to blame for today's fate, if it weren't for Lord Zhang to take him to the capital, I also want to have a public trial meeting in Xuanfu, behead him and show him to the public, so as to set an example, so that those who will be Han 'traitors' in the future will see, this is the end."

I suddenly thought that the matter of Zhao Quan being brought to Xuanfu was kept secret, and the officials and soldiers outside didn't know, why would these ordinary people know, thinking of this, I suddenly felt that this matter was very weird, and I always felt that something was wrong there, but the prefect 'intervened' in this matter, and I didn't know if the prefect did it in order to buy Zhang Juzheng, and I couldn't say anything on this good day, so I had to whisper to the old Liu who was standing next to me: "Brother Liu, you pay more attention, I feel that these people are not right, If there is something, protect Lord Zhang first. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we'll all be watching it, and I'll make sure it's okay." Although Lao Liu said so, my heart was still up and down, staring at those people tightly.

Now it was time for the prefect to speak, and those people knelt on the ground, and the prefect came to Zhang Juzheng and said: "Lord Qiqi Qincha, these are the people of our Xuanfu, thank you for your kindness, prepare some wine, and have an umbrella to thank your lordship." ”

What is the Wanmin umbrella, in the feudal society, when the magistrate leaves office, the local people have to express their retention, and the more common way is to send the "Wanmin umbrella", which means that the outgoing magistrate is like a giant umbrella to protect the people on this side every day, and is a good official who loves the people like a son. The more umbrellas are sent, the more face the official has. When the Qing officials leave office, some people will naturally send umbrellas, and when those corrupt officials leave office, in order to save face, they must also try their best to 'get' the umbrella of the people to decorate the 'door'. After arriving, this trend intensified, and everything was given to the people, until it became a bad habit in the officialdom. This time from Wanmin umbrella, not to keep Zhang Juzheng, but to thank Zhang Juzheng, so it is also appropriate to send an umbrella.

After the prefect finished reporting, it was time for Zhang Juzheng to speak, Zhang Juzheng also knew how to do these things, and said to the prefect: "Thank you to the fathers and villagers of Xuanfu, this official just did what should be done, since you sent it, I, Zhang Juzheng, am not hypocritical, so take it." ”

Next, it should be those people who came up to deliver the wine, the old man stood up first, followed by two young people with food boxes, three people came to the table, the old man first handed over a fold signed by many people, I didn't look at it just staring at those people, Zhang Juzheng opened the fold, looked at it and said: "This matter, I also want to ask the emperor, the old man, for Zhao Quan's treatment, we all said it doesn't count, but Zhao Quan can't escape punishment, thank you for the old man's heart, I will go back to the emperor to send the fold." ”

"Thank you, Lord Qincha, we also prepared some wine, please don't dislike it, little four and three, serve wine and food to adults." The man finished speaking, and flashed back.

I saw that the two young people beside the old man opened the food box, and before everyone could see what it was, I saw someone throwing the food box towards us, and I kept staring at them to see that they were not acting right, and immediately pounced in front of Zhang Juzheng. I don't know what it was in the food box, but I saw smoke billowing, I couldn't see anything clearly, and there was a strange smell, because I used too much force, I threw Zhang Juzheng and his chair to the ground, and even Wang Chonggu fell to the ground.

I heard another person shouting loudly: "Let's go up together, grab the Qin mission and change the big leader to come out." "Then there was a chaotic shout, and I threw myself on Zhang Juzheng, because the black fog couldn't see the situation outside.

"Brothers, protect Lord Chincha." This is Lao Liu's voice, because of what I just instructed, Lao Liu and they have also raised their vigilance against 'sex', and now that such a thing has happened, it is also the time for them to work hard.

I couldn't see what was going on, but I knew that Zhang Juzheng was under me, and I wanted to stand up and take Zhang Juzheng away, but just when I remembered, the table behind me was pushed and pressed on me by someone for some reason.
