Chapter 32 Beacon Flames

"Qin sent the governor to military affairs, Wang Siming Wang has arrived!" With a high singing, Wang Siming slowly walked off the boat with a shy stomach, with an extraordinary bearing, full of the posture of a superior.

"Hehe, Lord Wang has come from afar, and my colleagues have lost sight." Nanjing officials were the first to step forward and say, although there is no real power, but the name of a secretary is enough to become the leader of the officials in Nanjing.

"Hehe, Lord Li is polite." Wang Siming bowed his hand slightly, then looked at the crowd and asked, "Why didn't you see Zhongguo Gong?" ”

Li Shangshu's expression froze, and he forced a smile: "Grandpa Guo has been unwell recently, and he told this official that he would not come to greet Lord Wang." ”

Wang Siming smiled, his eyes were very proud, I am afraid that he Shen Chongming can't stand this stimulation. "In that case, let's change the Japanese official to visit him. This official, Brother Shen, really doesn't know what to say about him, hehe. ”

Li Shangshu smiled with a smile on his face, "That's that, who doesn't know that Lord Wang, you and Zhongguo Gong are close friends." ”

The corners of Wang Siming's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: "How many fucking years ago did this." ”

"Lord Wang, you have come from afar, and this official has prepared a banquet in the city with all his colleagues, and after taking your lord to bathe and change clothes, he will take you to wash the wind and dust, and introduce me to the officials of Yingtianfu by the way." Li Shangshu stretched out his hand and smiled.

"In this way, there is Lord Lao Li." Wang Siming said with a smile, straightened his chest, and walked to the official sedan chair parked on the side, not waiting to look at the officials around him.

Li Shangshu looked at his back, couldn't help but smile and shook his head, young and frivolous.

"Lord Li, this Lord Wang, I'm afraid it's not easy to get along." The secretary of the military department who followed behind Li Shangshu whispered in his ear, although he is the secretary of the military department in name only, but this time Wang Siming is sitting in Nanjing to preside over military affairs, and he is afraid that he will have to deal with it. When I met such an arrogant young man, I was afraid that it would be uncomfortable.

Li Shangshu smiled slightly, "Brother Chen, isn't this the presence of the Duke of Zhongguo, you and I are waiting to see a good show." The contradiction between Wang Siming and Shen Chongming is well known in the officialdom, and Li Shangshu is also very clear in his heart, what he said just now is just a situation.

"But today's Zhongguo Gong, I'm afraid it's not ......" said, Chen Shangshu couldn't help but shake his head, one is idle at home, the other is in power, I am afraid that the victory and defeat have already been doomed.

"Don't worry, hehe." Putting down these words, Li Shangshu raised his heels and stepped up, this Wang Siming was really a little too arrogant.

"My lord, don't you know, that scene is called a grand one, but all the famous officials in Nanjing City are all present. These guys, I've never seen them treat you like this on weekdays, it's really infuriating! Brother Erdan said angrily, this *** Wang Siming can also get such treatment, it is really unreasonable!

Shen Chongming smiled, "Regardless of what to do with these, the real respect is not these scenes." You send someone to keep an eye on him, but you want to see how many catties and taels he Wang Siming has. ”

"Well, my subordinates will go here." Brother Erdan nodded, the reception banquet was about to start, and he was just in time for a meal, but he was hungry.

There was only one person left in the room, and the smile on Shen Chongming's face became thicker. This Wang Siming is completely villainous, and at this time, he has made such a big pomp, Zhang Juzheng is so reusing him, he is really making trouble for himself.

"My lord, Lord Chen asks to see you." The voice of the guard suddenly sounded outside the door, and Shen Chongming hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite him in." ”

I can't complain about Shen Chongming, Chen Xiao is focusing on the gains and losses of Shaoxing these days, and the safety of his brother-in-law, who serves as the prefect's fellow governor, but let his sister, who has just come to Nanjing for a few days, wipe her tears all day long.

"My lord, there's news." As soon as Chen Xiao came in, he said nervously.

"How's it going, did you escape?" Shen Chongming said excitedly, his brother-in-law's second-in-command was played again, and the prefect left Shaoxing, so he could only take charge of Shaoxing's government affairs temporarily. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a character waiting for death.

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Alas, it's over, it's over, how can this official explain to his parents and talk to his sister." Shen Chongming said worriedly. Although Yu Jinglun has some villainy, he has been close to his sister for nearly ten years, and now he has lost his life, so how will his sister live in the future.

Looking at Shen Chongming's expression, Chen Xiao hurriedly said: "My lord, don't worry, Lord Yu is still alive." ”

Shen Chongming, who was sighing, was stunned and said happily: "He is still alive, so where is he now?" ”

"This ......" Chen Xiao was embarrassed for a while, and squirmed for a long time before he said: "My lord, this is my lord...... He...... He took refuge in the rebels! ”

"What?!" Shen Chongming's face was full of consternation, and he exclaimed, "He threw himself into the rebels? ”

"Yes, my lord, now Yu Jinglun has been appointed as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang by the rebels, although the official title has not been decided, but he has really been promoted." Chen Xiao was a little worried and said, this is an adult, and he is really greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Hehehe, he's a clever man, this status should make him satisfied." Shen Chongming suddenly laughed, and couldn't help but make Chen Xiao a little surprised.

"My lord, this ......" Chen Xiao couldn't help but wonder a little, it is said that his relatives have defected to the rebels, and adults should hate iron and steel, but now look at it, how can he look very happy.

Shen Chongming knew what Chen Xiao was thinking, and said bluntly: "It's good that he can survive now, as for the future...... Just let him be a rich man in his duty, which is not suitable for him. ”

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that adults already had a plan in their hearts, and it was indeed a good way to let Yu Jinglun say goodbye to Vanity Fair, at least no one would hold on to it.

"Chen Xiao, I'm afraid that it was not Yu Jinglun's original intention to join the rebels, but just to survive. You have to think of a way, it's best to get him out as soon as possible, after all, the longer it drags on, the deeper it will be, and it will be a trouble to deal with it in the future. Shen Chongming shook his head and said, after all, it is not a trivial matter to take refuge in the rebels, and if you are caught by the opponent, it is really a difficult thing.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, your subordinates have made arrangements. Originally, I wanted to arrest Yu Jinglun back and hand it over to you to dispose of, but now it seems that there is no need to bother. Chen Xiao said with a smile. During these days, he got along with Shen Chongming almost all the time, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper. This time and again, Chen Xiao's speech is not as restrained as before.

Shen Chongming shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Isn't this also a way, after all, he is a brother-in-law, so he has to think about his sister." ”

"My subordinates understand, don't worry, my lord, it won't be long before I will be rescued in Jinglun." Chen Xiao assured that Lord Shen always values feelings, and if it is put on other officials, I am afraid that at this time, I will already try my best to draw a clear line with Yu Jinglun.

At this moment, Yu Jinglun, who was in the Shaoxing Mansion, was also full of sorrow, and he was alone in the house borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.

Now this situation, but Yu Jinglun has never thought of it in his life, as soon as he thinks that he has borne the name of a traitor, Yu Jinglun wants to cry loudly.

For this Wuwei Sect rebellion, Yu Jinglun was not optimistic at all, as Shen Chongming expected, if it wasn't for saving this little life, he wouldn't be in the same league with the rebels at all.

If you want to say why you are not optimistic about the rebels, it is not that Yu Jinglun, an official of the imperial court, has much confidence in the Ming Dynasty, but because of his understanding of Shen Chongming.

My brother-in-law is amazing, just before the rebels raised troops, he actually sent people from Nanjing City to Shaoxing, not only to pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but also his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family, and his wife and children have not been pulled down.

Originally, I thought that this kid wanted to show off his mansion built at a cost of 300,000 taels of silver to a few old people, but now it seems that he must have sensed the danger in advance, so he took over the whole family.

With such insight into affairs, once he is put in charge of the army, how can the rebels get the advantage?

Pity yourself, but now he has joined the thief camp, and he will definitely become a prisoner of this guy at that time, and at that time, for the sake of his own reputation, he will not have to cut himself down to the court to make meritorious contributions!

Every time I think of this section, Yu Jinglun hates it in the bottom of his heart, this damn brother-in-law, since you know that the disaster is coming, why don't you take your brother-in-law and me to Nanjing for refuge. Now it's a good thing, the charge of defecting to the rebels can't be cleared up in this life.

"Alas, my life is miserable." Wiping his tears, Yu Jinglun picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

One cup after another, just when Yu Jinglun was a little dizzy, the door was kicked open, and someone laughed and said: "Hehe, Lord Governor of Ben General, why don't you say hello to Ben Jiang when you drink alcohol?" ”

Looking up, Yu Jinglun couldn't help but let out a cold sweat, and his mind instantly sobered up. "General, General Huang, your subordinates are polite."

Seeing this former imperial court acquaintance standing tremblingly in front of him, Huang Wanli, the general of the divine army, couldn't help laughing. "I said Yu Jinglun, these false gifts are forgiven, and the eight thousand loads of grain and grass I asked you to raise a few days ago have an eyebrow."

As soon as he talked about this, Yu Jinglun felt bitter in his heart. When the rebels entered the city, they had already looted the treasury, but now they let themselves raise 8,000 loads of military rations.

"General, the lower officials have tried everything in the past few days, but unfortunately they only raised more than 2,000 loads of food, and there is really no way at all." Yu Jinglun said with a bitter face, just this bit of grain, I still collected it by collecting the granaries of my father-in-law's family and the granaries of ten thousand families, no matter how much it is, there is really nothing.

Huang Wanli smiled, "I said Yu Jinglun, isn't what you officials are best at is to scavenge the people's fat and people's ointment, and it's not a big deal to have 8,000 quintals of grain, so I will give you a letter to your brother-in-law who is enjoying the glory and wealth in Nanjing, this little thing is not a matter of his words?" ”

The corners of Yu Jinglun's mouth twitched, and he said fiercely: "General, don't mention this inhuman thing." Earlier, he held a lot of power, and he took care of me, who was my brother-in-law. Now that I have abandoned the darkness and followed the general, the two of us will never get along with each other in the future, so it is impossible for him to help. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the army has a heavy use for raising military rations, and you will be given a three-day deadline, if you can't raise it, you will bear the consequences." Putting down this cruel sentence, Huang Wanli picked up the wine jug on the table and walked away.
