Chapter 216: The Rivers and Lakes Are Not Settled
There are only six ministers in the Qinzheng Palace, Prime Minister Yin Wuwu, Left Inspector Yu Shi Xiao Sheng, Right Patrol Imperial Shi Shen Mingzhi, Ministry of Officials Shangshu Feng Ju, Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yuan Jiuding, Military Department Shangshu Jiang Juying, Han Ruzi have all seen it, and there is a eunuch, who is a strange face, and it should be the new central eunuch looking at the costume.
The entourage could not enter the palace, so Han Ruzi and the king of the East China Sea personally carried the official seal, held it in their hands, and let the six ministers check it.
The whole process was very brief, it can be said that it was hasty, and the ministers didn't even come forward, but just glanced at it from a distance, and Yin Wuwu asked, "No problem, right?" The others nodded at the same time.
Xiao Sheng's expression was a little more severe, but he didn't speak, standing in the Qinzheng Palace, he regained his bearing as a minister, no matter what he thought in his heart, it would not be easily revealed.
The eunuch sent the two visitors out of the Qinzheng Palace, and stood at the foot of the steps, and the king of the East Sea said suspiciously, "This is the end?" ”
"This is just the beginning."
The four contenders still have half a year to win the support of the minister.
"I mean it's that simple to read the official seal? Why did you set this step in the first place? Superfluous. The King of the East Sea was still puzzled.
The two parted outside the palace gate, and the king of the East China Sea got on the horse and said, "Don't go out in the afternoon, I'll go to you." ”
Han Ruzi took his entourage to the Governor's Mansion of the Soldiers and Horses and officially returned the official seal, and the official who received the seal carefully inspected it to ensure that the potholes on it were all old.
On the way home from the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Du Chuanyun let out a sigh of relief, and then said a little disappointed: "I thought I would run into something and be able to fight." ”
"What do you want to happen?" Han Ruzi asked with a smile.
Du Chuanyun stepped forward and rode side by side with the tired Hou, "This kind of thing is stealing seals and seizing seals, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I inspected the Hou Mansion with my grandfather, and I didn't even see a mouse." I thought there would be something going on during the day, but it turned out to be so peaceful. Alas, it's not interesting, remember the days you just left the palace? That's what makes it interesting. ”
Han Ruzi laughed, looking at it afterwards, it is interesting to not die in a catastrophe, but as a person concerned, he hopes that the future will be undisturbed, even if it is extremely boring.
"The longer you wait, the harder you shoot." Han Ruzi said.
"Who's going to do it? Are we, or someone else? ”
Han Ruzi smiled and said nothing, because he couldn't be sure, and Yang Feng couldn't predict it, so he just suggested that Tihou wait and see what happened, win people's hearts, and wait until he could really integrate the various forces into a real force, and then make plans.
For Han Ruzi, everything has indeed just begun, and for the King of the East China Sea, the King of England, and the Qi Seeker, this is the case, except for the champion Hou, who is one step away from the throne, and he can't wait to pounce on it immediately.
"Let's go to the Drunken Immortal Building for dinner." Han Ruzi said.
Du Chuanyun cheered and led the way. A group of seven or eight people came straight to Xiaochunfang Zuixian Building, it was noon, there were many people eating, Du Chuanyun only came here occasionally more than half a year ago, but he seemed very familiar, and the shopkeeper and the guys greeted warmly, as if they were regular customers, plus there were many people, the restaurant did not dare to slack off.
The group was taken upstairs to the private room, and Han Ruzi told the entourage not to be polite, anyway, there were no other guests, and everyone gathered around the table to eat.
These entourages are not servants in the house, but bodyguards found by Du's grandson, all of them are from the rivers and lakes, informal, tired and open, they are even more open, but they still remember their duties, etiquette can not be observed, but wine can not be drunk indiscriminately.
Du Chuanyun swallowed his saliva so greedily that he even wanted a bowl of vinegar to temporarily suppress the wine worms in his stomach, although his grandfather Du Motian stayed in the house and did not follow, he still didn't dare to drink.
In addition to the lack of wine, the meal was very happy, the dishes had nothing to say, and the tired Hou was also very easy-going, and everyone said some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, and laughed frequently.
Don't be a cook here, Han Ruzi wanted to invite him over, but Du Chuanyun shook his head, "Don't be a weird person, don't disturb him when he is in charge." ”
When I was about to eat, there was a noise outside the private room, like a group of people asking for wine and food, arrogant and rude, mixed with a lot of curses, not like ordinary guests.
The noise became louder and louder, and Du Chuanyun did not fight for Tihou's consent, got up and jumped out of the private room, quarreled a few words, and came back, but the noise outside still did not disappear.
"It's really someone who came to make trouble, it's not a day or two, I heard the shopkeeper say that this group of people has come every other day, and it's been more than half a year."
"Don't be nosy, Drunken Immortal Lou has its own way." Said one of the attendants.
"Hehe, this is really not an idle matter, there are our acquaintances among the troublemakers." Du Chuanyun sold a pass, reached out and brought a plate of leftover fish, and ate the fish tail cleanly.
Not long after, someone came to the private room to visit, and sure enough, it was someone Han Ruzi knew, it was the iron-headed Hu San'er who had protected him, a tall and strong black man.
Hu San'er clasped his fists and saluted, squeezed Du Chuanyun away, and sat next to Tihou, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb Tihou's dinner, I knew you were here, so we will come tomorrow." ”
Han Ruzi smiled: "Third Brother Hu hasn't seen you for a long time, what are you doing here?" Do you want to pay for it when you come to Zuixianlou? ”
"It's true that you want to pay the account, but it's not the drunken immortal building who owes the debt, but the one who doesn't want to die."
"Don't die? How much I owe, I will pay it back. ”
Du Chuanyun stood aside and laughed, but Hu San'er didn't squeak.
"Third Brother Hu, don't you believe me?"
Hu San'er patted lightly on the table, "Since I have caught up, I will have something to say." ”
"Third Brother Hu, please speak."
Hu San'er glanced at the others, and most of the bodyguards nodded to him, obviously knowing each other.
"Do you remember the Kuang tailoring in Sanliu Lane?"
Of course, Han Ruzi remembered that Kuang Tailor once persuaded the troublemakers to retreat in the Tired Hou Mansion, and was later killed by two knives by the river, and Don't Kill claimed that Kuang Tailor was a traitor among the Jianghu people at that time.
Hu San'er continued: "Don't say that Kuang Tailor once colluded with two imperial eagle dogs in the Drunken Immortal Mansion to do things for the 'Guanghua Tigers', but he has always refused to show evidence, we are Kuang Tailor's friends, of course we can't let things pass unclear." ”
Du Chuanyun sat with an entourage and said with a smile: "Tietou, when did you become friends with Kuang Tailoring?" ”
"Friend, friend, can't you?" Hu San'er said angrily, glared at Du Chuanyun, then eased his expression, and said to the tired marquis: "This matter has nothing to do with the tire, it's just just in time, I'll come and tell you." ”
"Don't kill Kuang because of me." Han Ruzi had no way to stay out of the matter, and he didn't want to kill Kuang Ju, just to relieve him.
Hu San'er shook his head, "Tired Hou is not from the rivers and lakes, and many people saw it at that time, don't kill people suddenly, Tired Hou didn't know about it beforehand, let alone gave an order, right?" ”
Han Ruzi nodded reluctantly.
Hu San'er got up, "I heard that the tired marquis is doing big things, don't waste time dealing with us reckless people." ”
Du Chuanyun said with a smile: "Kuang tailor has been dead for more than half a year, are you just coming to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat and drink?" Why didn't you find a fight? ”
"None of your business, go home and ask your grandfather." Hu San'er strode out of the private room, he was very familiar with the Du family's grandson, he was fierce in his mouth, but his friendship was not shallow.
Du Chuanyun didn't care even more, he still had a smile on his face, "Don't worry, these guys are afraid of their lives, so they don't dare to do anything with him. ”
Don't die and never come forward.
When Han Ruzi left, he saw the group of troublemakers, including Hu San'er, a total of eleven people, eating and chatting around a table, occasionally drinking a few times, attracting the surrounding diners to look sideways, but the guys were calm, serving wine and food normally, only when they were a group of irritable guests.
Back at the Tihou Mansion, Han Ruzi invited Du Motian.
Du Motian knew about this early on, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the tired marquis, this is a small grievance in the rivers and lakes, Kuang tailoring has a group of friends, don't be more popular, but there are also a few brothers who have excellent friendships, you know me, I know you, sooner or later you can talk about things." The rivers and lakes have their own solutions, and the tired Hou can rest assured. ”
Han Ruzi still felt a little weird, but he really didn't have the energy to meddle in this matter.
It was almost dusk, and the king of the East China Sea came in a hurry, Zeng Fucheng followed behind, and there was no time to report for him.
The king of the East Sea broke into the study and asked directly, "Have you heard?" ”
"What did you hear?" Han Ruzi put down the book, Yang Feng and Meng E didn't come back outside, and he didn't receive any special news.
Zeng Fucheng smiled bitterly and saluted the tired marquis and exited the room.
"The King of England went to the Qinzheng Palace in the afternoon to hand over the official seal, and you can't think of who he is looking for."
"Who is it?"
"Queen Mother!" The King of the East China Sea looked at Han Ruzi, "You're not surprised?" ”
"What could be more surprising than the vy for the throne? Besides, the age and character of the King of England are exactly the kind that the Queen Mother appreciates. ”
"But isn't the Queen Mother already ...... Crazy? The King of the East Sea found a chair and sat down, furious.
"It is said that the Queen Mother is good and bad, and this is probably an arrangement she made when she was sober."
The King of the East Sea snorted and didn't say anything.
"Is the Queen Mother a first-class minister?" Han Ruzi asked.
"The Queen Mother is a product and has a seal, but no one can call her a 'minister', nor can she be said to be an 'idle official', this is a loophole, deliberately left by the hopeful." The King of the East China Sea stared at Han Ruzi, "Could it be like this: let's fight to the death with the champion Hou, and when both sides are defeated, the Queen Mother suddenly made a move, and the threat was solved at once, she was simply pretending to be crazy!" ”
"I will always guard against the Queen Mother, whether she is really crazy or fake."
"I should contact my mother as soon as possible, she is in the palace, she must know something......" King Donghai stood up, did not say goodbye, walked outside, and collided with Yang Feng.
"You know ......"
"I know."
The King of the East Sea hesitated for a moment and walked out, disdainful of asking Han Ruzi's military advisor for advice.
"The Queen Mother is going to make a move?" Han Ruzi asked.
"Probably not, don't worry about the Queen Mother for now, I'll take you to see Guo Cong tomorrow."
Yang Feng's attention is always different from others, the queen mother, the champion marquis, and the hopeful...... He didn't seem to take these threats to heart, and just wanted to "please" those who read.
"I went to the Drunken Immortal Building today and saw someone looking for lifeless trouble."
Don't die was introduced by Yang Feng to the tired marquis, compared with the Du family's grandson, this chef is more like Yang Feng's "henchman".
"He can figure it out himself." Yang Feng didn't care more than Du Motian, "Send a letter to the Northern Army, those noble sons can go home." (To be continued.) )
