On the evening of April 22, the Gongzhou Zhizhou Mansion in Shuguoba County was full of friends, and the lights were brilliant. The hall is staggered, and it is the place where you can drink to the fullest. Tang Zhengsu and Xue Qimeng, two great talents of the Shu Kingdom, were all full of red light. Tang Zhengsu was better and could still maintain his form, while Xue Qimeng was a little intoxicated, talking and talking endlessly.
At this time, Song Zheng had already used the excuse that he was too strong to drink, so he finally escaped and returned to the post house. Sitting in his room, Song Zheng frowned tightly and remained silent.
This is already the fourteenth day since leaving Chengdu Prefecture, and the mission is marching to Ba County, which can be described as extremely slow. You must know that when Song Zheng came, he went from Fengjie to Chengdu, but it was only half a month.
There is no other reason, because Shu attaches great importance to this envoy and has a feeling of repaying Song Zheng's gratitude, so it ordered the state capitals along the way to receive them ceremoniously. At this time, Shu went through a rebellion, although the imperial court did not make it public, but after nearly two months of fermentation, it has slowly spread. In particular, Lang Zhengchun began to deploy some local officials, hoping to completely clean up Lang Boyan's poison in a gentle manner.
At the level of Zhizhou, he can be regarded as a member of the Shu Kingdom, and he still has political wisdom. Therefore, I tried every possible way to show my loyalty to the imperial court. It's a pity that officials at the level of Zhizhou say that it is not big or small, and it is not so easy to get through.
Just then, the opportunity came. The Shu delegation had to pass through the door. Not only that, the legendary Qi made Song Zheng deeply respected by the prince of the current dynasty, and he was very good with the prince. And the chief and deputy envoys of the mission are all generals of the prince's order. How can you let go of such an opportunity to stammer? As a result, all the states along the way laid out receptions, for fear of not taking care of them. Even the magistrates of neighboring prefectures and counties went to the places where the mission passed, trying to send a little heart.
Tang Zhengsu and Xue Qimeng are officials of Shu State, so they can't be so blatant, so they can only say secretly, but Song Zheng is an envoy of Qi, and it doesn't matter if they send more. So, I came out of Chengdu for nearly half a month, and there were endless wine banquets every day. Song Zheng received more than 20,000 taels of silver.
Although Song Zheng is scarce in money, his mind has now flown to Jiangning, and there is really no empty mushroom. It's a pity that when Lang Bochuan instigated Lang Zhengchun to make an order, he didn't discuss it with Song Zheng, so there was a situation where there was wine to drink every day and silver was in the account every day, and it couldn't be stopped.
When Song Zheng first came out of the boundary of Chengdu Prefecture, he received a little Cheng Yi and sent it to him, this era is very normal. But after counting a little, I found that it was not good, Jianzhou was such a small state, and it sent 1,500 taels of silver.
State officials can communicate with each other much faster than the foot of the mission. Out of Jianzhou into the state, but sent two thousand taels. Even if Song Zheng refused, there was a way for them to be sent to Song Zheng's car through the sergeant.
The most ridiculous thing is that when Song Zheng arrived in Changzhou, the governor of Jianzhou heard that Zizhou had sent 500 taels more than himself, so he sent someone to catch up with the mission and sent another 800 taels, which made Song Zheng cry and laugh. Along the way, the states sent it away, and even the neighboring states also came to join in the fun, Rongzhou, Puzhou, Hezhou, all of them were Zhizhou or Changshi to greet the post house, and they sent Chengyi one after another.
There is never a shortage of tricks in gift-giving. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry have been baked, and later, beauties have also appeared. Now, there are four beautiful maids in the room next to Song Zheng, all of them are showing flowers and branches, and they are definitely good at serving people.
No? That's easy to do. Anyway, they were sent to you, so let them follow you, and you can do whatever you want. Tang Zhengsu and Xue Qimeng estimated that they also took the benefits of others and took turns to persuade Song Zheng, but Song Zheng was really gracious, and he couldn't turn his face for this kind of thing.
In the end, Song Zheng was lazy and didn't bother to ask about it anymore. The money came, and it was collected. The beauty came, and she also took it. After receiving it, Song Zheng didn't touch them, and he was going to be a daughter-in-law for his brothers after getting it to Jiangning.
Receiving a gift is of course a beautiful thing, but it is too delayed. Nima, after being out of Chengdu for half a month, Shu has only been half gone, how can Song Zheng not be annoyed. At this rate, it will take another half a month to reach Fengjie. Even if you take a boat from Fengjie all the way down, you won't be able to reach Jiangning in less than ten days.
No way! Jiang Ning doesn't know what to do over there. Especially the things that were taken out from Jiang Kui made Song Zheng shocked. In case something really happened to Jiang Ning, there would be no place to cry.
Song Zheng made up his mind that he would leave the mission tomorrow, take some guards, and go first.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who!"
"Lord Song, there is a messenger from Qi outside the door, named Cai Yong, who is here to ask to see you." The guard outside the door said.
Song Zhengteng stood up suddenly, "Please come in." "The guards of Shu don't know Cai Yong, but Song Zheng knows it. When leaving Jiangning, Cai Yong was arranged to be the deputy commander of the right division of Jiangning, and he could be regarded as his henchman Qianfan, who had read all over the party. How did he get here? And he went directly to the post house to meet him. Song Zheng faintly felt that something was wrong.
After a while, Cai Yong came in under the leadership of two people, followed by two Shu State guards.
"The Ministry of Rites is on a mission to Cai Yong, see the adults." Cai Yong had a straight face, knelt on the ground, and looked at Song Zheng's eyes, but they were full of heat.
Song Zheng also suppressed his excitement, put on a full shelf and nodded, "Pingshen, who are the two in the back?" ”
"Zhang Mao (Yuan Zhang), see my lord." The two men in the back also saluted.
Song Zheng also nodded. At this time, Cai Yong presented the identity document, Song Zheng pretended to flip it over, and then ordered Shu to escort it.
After closing the door, Cai Yong secretly glanced at him, and Song Zheng knew it in his heart. is no longer hypocritical, stepped forward and grabbed Cai Yong's hand at once, "Quick, sit down!" How did you get here? He motioned for Zhang Mao and Yuan Zhang to sit down as well.
Zhang Mao and Yuan Zhang glanced at Cai Yong, but Cai Yong explained to Song Zheng, "These two are the brothers of the Right Division, and they escorted me. Then he said to them, "You two, go and stand guard outside the door." ”
The two men hugged their fists towards Song Zheng and went out without saying a word, replacing the original Shu State guards.
Seeing this style, Song Zheng realized that something big must have happened in Jiangning, and his face couldn't help but change. However, he still poured Cai Yong a glass of water, "Sit down first, drink a glass of water, and talk slowly about something." ”
Cai Yong gulped down the tea, "Childe, I came here this time pretending to be a messenger, thanks to the help of Lord Fan Zhitong over there in Shuguan, and the official seal was stamped." ”
Song Zheng's hand trembled, and he hummed quietly. When he looked through the document just now, he had already noticed the suspicion. He is still very clear about the seal of the official office of the Great Qi Rite Department. The right division has the ability to imitate official documents, which is vivid, and only a veteran like Song Zheng can distinguish it.
However, the seal of Shuguan in the back is real. Song Zheng was still a little strange, and this time his heart was clear, but his mind became heavier and heavier. It is definitely not a trivial matter to be able to let Fan Zhitong help send out the Qi country.
Cai Yong's face was solemn and said, "Childe, Lord Mu sent the little one over this time to report to you about Jiangning's situation as soon as possible, so that you can prepare early." At the same time, it is necessary to show how to do it next. Without your order, Master Mu can't make up his mind. Of course, if possible, Mu-sama wants you to go back as soon as possible. ”
Song Zheng nodded, "You can tell me about the situation over there in Jiang Ning first, is there something wrong?" ”
"Yes, now Jiangning is very turbulent, I'm afraid something big will happen."
Next, Cai Yong introduced the situation again, and Song Zheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the situation in Jiangning would deteriorate so quickly.
It all started after he came to power.
First, Huang Song, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly said that he was sick at home. The reason is that Mu Yu chose to report Lian Shui'er's matter to Huang Yuandu. Huang Yuandu was furious, forced Huang Song to stay at home, and put him under house arrest.
However, he did not deal with the other information reported by Mu Yu, but ostensibly adopted a cooperative attitude with Xiaotong, and he was safe for a while.
The big change of things came after the Chinese New Year.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Xiao Tong suddenly wrote a letter to impeach Qiao Zhenchuan, the governor of Shandong Pass, saying that he connived at his subordinates and traded with Dajin without going through the field, resulting in a large loss of tariffs. In the end, Qiao Zhenchuan stepped down.
Immediately afterwards, the little emperor ordered a strict investigation of the issue of empty salaries. He made a move, and the generals at all levels, who were originally close to the prince, were either dismissed or dismissed. Replaced by a group of newcomers. According to Mu Yu's investigation, this group of people are all old subordinates of Xiaotong.
For a time, the remaining forces were purged. This is understandable, once a son of heaven and a courtier. The new lieutenant always has to seize military power.
But this time, the little emperor provided full support to Xiaotong, and the reason was that the problem of empty salaries broke out. Emperor Xiao Ying had already learned about the issue of empty salaries, but it was only because the war in Guanzhong had not been dealt with.
After Yang Zhen finally took office in Xijingguan, after a Spring Festival, he started a big operation.
Huang Yuandu watched coldly at first, however, later, this purge trend became bigger and bigger. Because the little emperor hated the issue of empty salaries very much, he let it be dealt with, and as long as it was involved, he would be punished, which made the Great Qi army a rumor.
Huang Yuandu saw that the wind and waves were wrong, and played many times, but was rejected by the little emperor, and later even refused to see Huang Yuandu.
And on the twentieth of last month, something happened to the Great Qi Capital Guard. Wang Yun, the supervisor of the Duwei Army, that is, Huang Jiao's henchmen, suddenly died in the Duwei military camp, causing an uproar.
The capital guards and city guards of Daqi were all served by eunuchs sent by the palace. Because these two armies defend the Beijing Division, the palace will definitely send people to monitor it. Wang Wan, as a prison soldier, died inexplicably, how could he not cause a shock?
The last time He Kuan in the city guard died, it was removed by Xiao Hui through the poison salt case. Under the premise of poisoning in the Guogong Mansion, it did not cause too much turmoil. However, Wang Yun's death was at the juncture of eliminating dissidents, which can easily cause associations.
As we all know, the Duwei Army was cultivated by Huang Yuandu, and it was originally to fight against Xiao Jun. And this army has always been under the control of Huang Yuandu. The Duwei Army commanded Huang Feng, who was originally Huang Yuandu's nephew.
Wang Wan's identity is not trivial. Even Huang Jiao was furious, not to mention the little emperor Xiao Ying, who immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the case. This case is also very simple, and it is clear after a check: Wang Qian was poisoned, and the person who poisoned him was a sergeant in charge of cooking, and the sergeant did not know where to go. It wasn't until a few days later that the sergeant's body was found in a forest twenty miles outside the Duwei barracks.
