According to the Daming law, there is a one-month holiday during the Spring Festival, but this year is the year of national mourning, and the imperial court is preparing for war intensively, so Zuo Zhan ordered that the holiday will begin on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the early dynasty will begin on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the lights are on, and Qianmen Street is full of BMW incense cars, singing and dancing everywhere. Standing on the Chengtian Gate, Zuo Zhan thought that someone would come forward in the face of the national disaster, and he did not hesitate to throw his head and spill his blood. There are also people who are drunk and dream of death, and will indulge in lust to the end.

"Long live the master, the secret report of the Teaching Division." Wei Jinzhong knelt respectfully in front of Zuo Zhan, holding a letter in both hands.

Zuo Zhan opened it and saw that it was a roster, which recorded in detail the officials and wealthy businessmen who feasted and prostituted during the state funeral, including the people of the harem. Zuo Zhan frowned after reading it, and reprimanded sideways:

"These dog minions, there are no roots underneath, isn't it a waste of effort to go to the Teaching Workshop Division?"

Wei Jinzhong always felt that the Hakka family was about to leave him these days, and only after hearing this could he understand the reason, his self-esteem was hit, and he said viciously:

"Long live the master, I'm afraid that these people have something to do with the outside."

Wei Jinzhong's words were very vicious, Zuo Zhan chuckled in his heart, thinking that the imperial court was already rotten, so he simply had an anti-pornography operation and grabbed a few typical examples to see everyone's reactions.

Thinking of this, he threw the roster on the ground and said as he walked:

"Okay, they didn't even give the first emperor face, so why should I tolerate it. Jin Zhong, you take your people to pay New Year's greetings to them on the first day of the new year, and go door to door to arrest the officials and wealthy businessmen on the list. Remember, the bigger the movement, the better! When the time comes, they will be escorted to the noon gate, and the ministers of the upper court will stay there for a quarter of an hour to see the faces of these people clearly. ”

Wei Jinzhong is a person with a dark heart, and he can't play with women and doesn't want others to play comfortably, so when he heard the emperor's arrangement, he was suddenly interested, and after picking up the roster, he started to arrange it without stopping.

Walking to the Donghua Gate, Zuo Zhan slowed down, thought about the arrangement just now, turned his head and said to Qi Changguo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard:

"Civilization, you take a team of people to arrest the palace people and guards who go out without permission, and see which minions are eating inside and out."

Qi Changguo is the third young master of Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, and because of Shaobao's grace, he served in Jinyiwei with several brothers. This person has an upright personality and is strict in his governance, and now that this kind of thing has happened, his face has long been unbearable, and he said with a black face:

"The saint is at ease, and Weichen will be strictly investigated and will not be tolerated."

At this time, Zuo Zhan was very bored, and Yu Dingbian saw that the little emperor was thinking heavily, and said in a low voice:

"Holy Lord, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, several concubines have met in Jingyang Palace to celebrate the New Year together, should you go back early to bathe and change clothes?"

This Yu Dingbian is the great-grandson of Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general, who was originally an official of one hundred households in Quanzhou, because of his love of martial arts, and his swordsmanship is outstanding. After the edict was issued, he was recommended to Beijing and became a royal guard.

After listening to Yu Dingbian's words, I remembered that today is the day of family reunion, but where are my relatives? couldn't help but feel sad from it, and felt that he was in a bad mood, for fear that it would affect the safety of Concubine Shen's pregnancy, and said to Cao Huachun:

"Huachun go and spread the word, I need to deal with some important things tonight, let a few concubines take care of themselves. Everyone else should go back and let civilization accompany me. ”

The two turned around and unknowingly walked into Xila Hutong. This is mostly the mansion of the border generals, and there are guards at the door, Zuo Zhan thought that this place was deserted, just to relax.

Walking to the depths of the alley, the lights dimmed, Zuo Zhan wanted to return the same way, and suddenly saw the door of a house in the deepest part open, and there was a faint light inside, so he walked straight in. Bypassing the shadow wall, there is a small courtyard inside, with swords, guns, swords and halberds on both sides, and a few fireworks on the desk under the corridor.

Zuo Zhan's childlike heart was still in his heart, and he wanted to take the fireworks away, but he heard a voice coming out of it:

"Miss, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, we need to have a few drinks." After eating in a while, I will accompany you to the yard to set off fireworks, drive away the New Year beast, and bless the old man to return safely. ”

Zuo Zhan thought that men and women would not kiss, and was about to sneak out quietly, when he heard a girl with a wonderful voice say:

"The last time my grandfather passed through Liaodong, he was alone and risky, but he was slandered by the villain. This time I returned to Beijing and was reused by today's saints, leading the army out of the customs, who expected that the little emperor would not be mediocre, and he actually blocked the Shanhaiguan Pass, only allowed to go out and not allowed to enter, which really made me worried. ”

Xiong Tingbi was ordered to return to Beijing this time, thinking that there would be more luck and less luck, so he only brought his granddaughter to collect his body. However, Zuo Zhan not only reinstated his official position, but also commanded the defense of Shenyang in Jinzhou. Due to the hurry, his son, who was far away in Hunan, had not yet rushed to control the Beijing division, so he personally led the army out of the customs, and had to leave his granddaughter to live in the mansion temporarily.

Zuo Zhan listened to what the girl said, and he whimpered in a low voice, very embarrassed. I wanted to leave, but people said that I was a faint king, and I secretly didn't want to explain how to be willing.

After a while, the room was quiet, Zuo Zhan coughed lightly twice, and said politely:

"Is the host there? Xiao Ke came to Beijing to join his relatives, accidentally got lost, and wanted to ask for a hot tea to warm his body. ”

There was a sound in the house, and I heard a rush of hands, like stepping on a dog's tail. I saw a little girl open the door angrily and yelled at Zuo Zhan:

"The kid is so rude, how dare he trespass into the general's mansion and eat the old lady's punch!"

After speaking, he was about to start, and Yu Dingbian hurriedly stepped forward to escort him. Zuo Zhan thought to himself that she was such a powerful maid, and she was not annoyed, so she hugged her fists and saluted and said:

"The girl is very skilled, please listen to the next word before you start it. My master and servant waited outside the door for a long time and no one came out, tired and hungry, they couldn't stand the cold and cold, and they just wanted to come in and ask for a bowl of water to drink. ”

The little girl was originally angry, but when she saw that Zuo Zhan was dressed Zhou Zheng, her appearance was extraordinary, her speech was polite and courteous, and her words were sincere, and she suddenly had a good impression. Thinking that I wanted to drink tea just now, but now I changed my mouth to drink water, it seems that I was frightened by myself, and I felt a little reluctant to go, so I put away my fist and went back to the house to pass the word, and after a while, I came out and said:

"My young lady is kind-hearted, please invite two officials into the house to warm up."

Zuo Zhan was not polite, walked into the house and looked around, and saw that the furnishings were quite simple, a sword was enshrined on the main hall, and the dining table was already full of delicacies and wine, but the banquet had not yet begun.

Zuo Zhan heard clearly in the answer outside the door just now, and the young lady remembered the scene when she came to Beijing with her grandfather, and felt pity for a while. When he heard Zuo Zhan enter the main hall, he secretly observed, and saw that he was young and immature, and his body was thin, so he said with pity:

"Lianyin, tell the two officials that the wine and food on the table have not been touched, and if you don't dislike it, you can eat it slowly. It's just that men and women don't kiss, please forgive the little woman for not being able to see each other. ”

Zuo Zhan was already a little hungry, thinking that Lao Xiong owed me such a big favor, what if he ate a meal. The self-cooked person sat down at the dinner table and was about to have a full meal, but Yu Dingbian beside him was very cautious, first stopped Zuo Zhan, and then took out a silver needle to check the wine and food.

Seeing this scene, Lianyin sneered:

"My young lady is kind enough to take you in, but you can't believe it. Since you are so vigilant, you might as well find another place! ”

Zuo Zhan was said to be uncomfortable, but he couldn't refute it, and he was embarrassed to hear the girl say:

"Lianyin, don't be mean, it's right to be more vigilant when the world is hard. Hello to entertain two guests, don't slack off! ”

Hearing that the master was so understanding, Zuo Zhan suddenly felt much softer, and said in passing:

"Thank you, young lady, for breaking the siege, I was ashamed of what this sharp-toothed girl said just now, and I was about to find a brick crack to get into. It's just that Xiao Ke took the liberty to disturb the panic in his heart, and asked the young lady to come forward to do the friendship of the landlord. Chinese New Year's Eve should have been with relatives, although you and I have never met, Pingshui meeting is always a fateful word. Now another country is my hometown, and you and I are relatives. ”

Zuo Zhan knew that she was concerned about her relatives, and her words were witty and sincere, and the girl was very useful to hear. I saw her walking out of the inner room wearing a veil on her head, wearing a new pink dress, with light lotus steps, and she looked graceful and swaying.

Zuo Zhan was amazed that there was such a dusty woman in the world, and involuntarily stood up and said:

"I heard the voice of the young lady just now, like the sound of a swallow and a warbler, clear and beautiful. At a glance, it looks like a hibiscus out of the water, and it is fairy and jade. Xiao Ke is very honored to drink with the beautiful woman, this is polite. ”

After speaking, Zuo Zhan bowed down seriously, and the woman also bowed slightly.

The candles in the hall were flickering, the delicate face of the beauty was looming, Zuo Zhan calmed down a little, raised his glass and said:

"This first glass of wine is to thank Miss Xie for her kindness, and people who live in a foreign land are most afraid of the sour feeling of homesickness."

Lianyin stood behind the beauty, and when she saw that Zuo Zhan was talking extraordinary, handsome and free, she knew that he was not an ordinary rich child, and said jokingly:

"You are so strange, others are heartbroken, but your face is full of joy, where do you feel homesick!"

Zuo Zhan saw that although this maid was rude and willful, she already agreed with herself, so he said with a smile:

"Beautiful scenery, beautiful food, I can't wait to beat the drum and make music, how can I not understand the customs? Come, I toast you with a second glass of wine, and may we take our dreams as horses and live up to our time. ”

Zuo Zhan is so proud, he is quite favored by the beauty, and I heard her say:

The official was proud, and the little woman was overjoyed when she heard it. It's just that my grandfather put on armor and went into battle, so I miss it, please forgive me for not being able to have fun with you. ”

Just now I heard them talk about Liaodong Jingluo outside the door, Zuo Zhan guessed that it was Xiong Tingbi's granddaughter, but he heard her say that she was mediocre, so he was angry and wanted to find out, and deliberately asked:

"If Xiao Ke guessed correctly, the sword on this hall was given by Emperor Shenzong, and Miss called it grandfather, dare to ask if this is the mansion of Lord Xiong, the chief soldier of Liaodong?"

When the beauty saw him, she could see at a glance that it was a Shang Fang sword, and she could tell the history, and she knew that Zuo Zhan was by no means an idle person. Thinking that this person was dignified, his eyes did not squint, and he suddenly admired him, and he blushed a little for a while. Fortunately, there was a veil to cover his shame, and he consciously lost his temper, and he replied after a little calm:

"The official has extraordinary knowledge, my grandfather's name is Xiong Tingbi, he is the general soldier of Liaodong, and this sword is the Shangfang sword given by Emperor Shenzong."

"I have heard for a long time that General Xiong is brave and loyal to the country, Xiao Ke has already had the heart to cling, and he dares to ask Miss Fang's name?" Zuo Zhan had already had the idea of getting married, thinking that he would hug the beauty and support Xiong Tingbi secondly.

Although the beauty didn't know the identity of Zuo Zhan, she heard that he had affection for him, and said shyly:

"The little girl's name is buckled by the moon, and her name is like a breast."

Zuo Zhan smiled in his heart after hearing this, and secretly said that you are like a bear. The four eyes are connected, each is happy, the girl who detains the moon is pregnant with spring, and her heart is like a deer.
