Chapter 218: Attending the Banquet

Yuan Chao and his entourage, under the leadership of Sun Zushou, came to a large mansion.

"I didn't expect the eldest brother to be so big, and he arranged such a big house for his younger brother, it seems that the eldest brother is indeed magnanimous." Yuan Chao also said jokingly.

"Hey, don't tease your brother, where is this arranged for you by my brother, this is arranged for you by the commander, and it is said that it is a mansion arranged for the commander Tongzhi." Sun Zushou said aloud.

"Oh? Commanding the Governor's Mansion, the eldest brother also has one? Yuan Chao asked again.

"I arranged it before, but I have already declined, this time it was arranged for my brother, so I didn't make a decision." Sun Zushou also said in 1510.

"Well, yes, the little brother thinks it's not bad, the little brother will settle here first." Yuan Dynasty does not sell fame and reputation, first settle down and then talk about it, in fact, such a house really can't enter Yuan Chao's eyes, let alone be a place to settle.

After the group came to the house, they all washed and rested first.

After all, the long journey makes everyone very tired.

After a short break, everyone changed their clothes and talked in the lobby.

"Big brother, you have been here to command the yamen for a while, how is the situation of this command yamen? Give my brother some air. Yuan Chao took a sip of tea and asked out loud first.

Sun Zushou listened to Yuan Chao's words, and also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"This is all commanding the yamen, the water is not shallow, and I can't complain that the combat effectiveness of our Ming guard is getting lower and lower."

"In this huge yamen, there are not so many people who do things sincerely, but so many people do things." Sun Zushou smiled bitterly.

"Something? Hehe, it seems that the eldest brother is suffering here. Yuan Chao heard Sun Zushou's dissatisfaction, and even a trace of helplessness.

"Big brother, can you elaborate on it? Let the younger brother also know how big the demon wind is in this capital command yamen. Yuan Chao continued to ask Sun Zushou about the situation, wanting to know in advance and think about how to deal with it in the future.

"Well, it's okay, you in the province are also like me, and you have been targeted by this group of people." Sun Zushou took another sip of tea from the teacup, calmed down and said.

"That's the case, if this group of people in the yamen wants to say that they have done something bad, it is not likely."

"It's just that if you want to say that they have done anything good, it is even less likely."

"They just sit in the yamen all day long, thinking about how to get money, if I turn a blind eye, they won't trouble me, if I say something, they will target me and ostracize me."

"I guess you're the same, if you let them go, they will also make you feel at ease, and if you find something for them, they will also target you." Sun Zushou also said bluntly.

"Yuan Chao, how should you get along?" Sun Zushou asked Yuan Chao.

"How do you get along? It's not too hard, I don't touch their plates, and they don't get in the way of what I want to do. Yuan Chao's attitude is very clear, moving other people's cheese is tantamount to the biggest provocation, Yuan Chao is not interested in other people's cheese, but the cheese that belongs to him, others don't want to move.

"Well, it seems that you have already made a bamboo in your chest, so I won't say much, anyway, be careful." Sun Zushou stopped talking about these things after speaking.

So several people in the room began to talk about the past and connect with each other.

It wasn't until it was almost dinner time that everyone began to pack up their schedules.

Under the guidance of Sun Zushou, everyone penetrated into the quite prosperous Kaifeng Mansion and came to the most prosperous area of the city, one of the most magnificent restaurants.

"Look, it seems that Lord Du attaches great importance to this meeting." Yuan Chao looked at this magnificent restaurant and muttered in his mouth.

"Well, yes, this is a little polite." Zhou Huaji's father-in-law, who came to the banquet on the side, also sighed with satisfaction after seeing such pomp.

"Look at how much food it costs, I don't know how many soldiers in the frontier are still starving, but we are eating and drinking peacefully here." Only Sun Zushou couldn't stand it anymore, and his mouth was full of broken thoughts.

Yuan Chao thought to himself, even if it is omitted from me, it will really fall into the mouths of the frontier soldiers?

His eldest brother still hasn't found the crux of the problem, and he still looks at the superficial problems.

However, Yuan Chao didn't want to give a lesson to his compassionate brother Sun.

"Okay, big brother, everyone has arrived, let's go in and meet with the commander of the capital." Yuan Chao comforted his eldest brother Sun, and then he was about to take the people to the banquet.

"Command the Tongzhi Yuan Dynasty to arrive at Lord Yuan."

"Command the same knowledge of Sun Zu Shou Sun to arrive."

"Zhou Huaji, Zhou's father-in-law has arrived."

The guards standing at the door, as if announcing the name of the dish, shouted loudly at the door the name of the adult who came.

"Oh? They are here, and today they are going to have a good look at this young hero Yuan Chao. "The one who said this was the commander of the Henan capital, Chen Wanshan.

Not long after the words ended, the door of the box was opened by the attendant.

A group of three walked into the private room.

Yuan Chao looked at the whole private room with great magnificence, the whole table is estimated to be able to sit about thirty people, next to some coral trees, antique calligraphy and paintings for decoration, and the table is covered with exquisite cold dishes.

On the main seat of the whole table, there sat a rather fat-headed and big-eared man, who was like a middle-aged greasy man as later generations said, sitting there showing a rich and graceful side.

"The subordinate Yuan Dynasty has seen Lord Chen, the commander of the capital, and has seen all the adults." Yuan Chao clasped his hands into fists, saluted all around, and finally stayed in the direction of the main seat.

"Okay, okay, General Yuan Chao is more polite, we will be good brothers in the future, don't care about these red tapes." Chen Wanshan said a lot of courtesy, but he was not modest at all, sitting there enjoying Yuan Chao's salute, which was regarded as giving Yuan Chao a small dismount first.

Zhou Huaji, who had been silent on the side, glanced at the situation and immediately saluted.

"Little Zhou Huaji, I've seen all the adults, and I've seen Commander Chen." Zhou Huaji saluted.

This week, Huaji's salute was not enough, and in an instant, everyone who was sitting upright just now immediately stood up and respectfully returned the salute.

Even if Zhou Huaji's ministers have lost a lot of power, but the residual power is still there, and these close ministers of the Son of Heaven are generally serving the emperor, and now saluting them, if they still sit upright, they will be like the emperor, which is not something that anyone can bear.

Chen Wanshan was also forced to stand up and return the salute with a smile.

"Oh, Father-in-law Zhou, I know that you are a celebrity in front of the emperor, and I will ask Father-in-law Zhou to show more love in the future." When Chen Wanshan said these words, he secretly slandered in his heart.

I didn't expect this Zhou Huaji to have such a good relationship with the Yuan Dynasty, and this time he stood up for him, it seems that he really has to get along with this Yuan Dynasty in the future.
