The concubines obeyed Cheng Yue's orders, and they had already received news from Xie Daoqing before, so they naturally had no opinions. After all, he has just been committed to Cheng Yue not long ago, and he is reluctant to go north to Cheng Yue. Concubine Yang Shufei finally found support for herself and her two sons, and she was about to separate, she was extremely sad and couldn't stop crying, Cheng Yue hugged her tightly, and together with Mrs. Zhu and Chen Cairen, she finally persuaded her.
Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu came back from the court and had another barbecue. Seeing that Yang Shufei's eyes were red and swollen, it was a little strange. Cheng Yue explained that it was blown into his eyes by the spice, and the two of them did not suspect it.
Cheng Yue ordered Zhang Gui to send 3,000 men and horses to replace Li Dashi, Li Dashi would usually lead troops, after Cheng Yue's strict requirements, these former Imperial Forest Army was trained to be extremely elite, just waiting for Cheng Yue to take them to the north to make contributions.
The preparations have been basically completed, and the day of Cheng Yue's departure is getting closer and closer, and the ministers who are good friends with Cheng Yue have also come to visit them in the past few days to listen to what Cheng Yue has to say to them.
Cheng Yue has been socializing as much as he did when he first entered Lin'an in the past few days, and the royal relatives and nobles, civil and military officials in the study are constantly flowing every day, and they all want to let Cheng Yue entrust him with important responsibilities at this juncture, so that Cheng Yue will definitely be reused when he comes back. However, the sooner Cheng has a fixed opinion, it is clear who is going to do what, and it is impossible to speculate and drill camps.
At noon that day, Cheng Yue saw Liu Qi away, he was too tired, so he hugged Mrs. Song and lay on the bed for a while. After lunch. I just want to meet someone else again. I saw Mrs. Luo holding two stickers. He walked in with a strange face.
Cheng Yue took the sticker and immediately understood the reason why Mrs. Luo's face was so strange. It turned out to be a post by Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong!
Cheng Yue smiled, and ordered Mrs. Luo to call Ding Niang and Zhang Shufang and other concubines to the study, and handed the two stickers to Ding Niang and said, "What do you think?" ”
Ding Niang remembered one thing and said with a smile: "I remember that Lord Yang said that Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong wanted to find a beautiful woman for Xianggong, but seeing that Xianggong was going north in three days, it would be too late if he didn't send it." That's how it should be. ”
Cheng Yue nodded slightly and said, "These two people have really tried their best to keep their glory and wealth. I heard that the farthest people they sent have already arrived in Guangzhou, and they are almost in Qiongzhou, so they are full of sincerity. ”
Zhang Shufang said: "Official, the concubine remembers that Chen Yizhong once killed Han Zhen under the pretext of an ambush killer for a banquet, even if he doesn't dare to treat the official like this, the official must not be guarded." ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "If they really dare to do it, but they do me a favor, I can take the opportunity to eradicate all of them." But the two of them are a little darker. Not so stupid. I got the news a month ago. Indeed, a well-covered carriage arrived at Chen Yizhong's house. In the past few days, Yang Ting has been monitoring the two of them more closely, and the inside line in their mansion has also sent news out, and he has not found anything unusual. I'm careful, I'll be fine. ”
Yu'er said: "The officials should bring more people, the slave family is not at ease with their two dog prime ministers." ”
Cheng Yue touched Yu'er's pretty face and said with a smile: "Okay, but it doesn't take too much, a hundred people are enough." I'm a hundred people, and others can't stop them! ”
In the afternoon, Cheng Yue continued to meet with officials, and then summoned Yang Ting to talk secretly for a while.
On the morning of the next day, Cheng Yue gathered a hundred men and horses, escorted by Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu, hid guns, and set off to Liumengyan's mansion.
Along the way, there were people cheering for Cheng Yuedao, shouting that the governor of Dadu cherished, which made Cheng Yue's heart very warm.
Chen Yizhong arrived at Liumengyan's mansion early, and the henchmen of the two also arrived together. Cheng Yue's control of the government has deepened, and there are fewer and fewer places they can focus on, and they dare not do whatever they want as before. So that now not only has he lost his position in the DPRK, but there are also many fewer filial piety gifts sent to the door, and he can't help but feel a sense of sympathy for the same disease.
This time, Cheng Yue was willing to appreciate the light and be a guest in Liumengyan Mansion, it was a good opportunity for them, if they could get closer to Cheng Yue and resolve Cheng Yue's hostility towards them, at least they could be safer.
Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong discussed with the same party, and when they saw that it was not early, they immediately ordered the middle door to be opened. This is an extremely rare courtesy for Liufu, and the last time the middle door of Liufu was opened, it was a temporary matter for Du Zongjia.
Although the family members who stayed in the mansion were arrogant, they were very afraid of Cheng Yue. After hearing Liu Mengyan's instructions, he worked very hard to clean the area around the threshold of the gate that had not been opened for a long time, for fear that Cheng Yue would get angry when he came in.
Liu Mengyan was sighing with Chen Yi and others in the flower hall, when he saw a family rushing in from outside, and saluted: "Master, the time for the Metropolitan Governor to have another pillar of incense is coming, and it is reported that there are about 100 people in the entourage, each stepping on a saber, quite calmly. ”
Liu Mengyan asked cautiously, "Only a hundred?" Can you see clearly? There's no one else behind? ”
Jia Ding said: "Back to the master, the little one knows that this is a big deal, so he has repeatedly confirmed with his subordinates that there will be no mistakes, and there are only three or five people missing." The Metropolitan Governor's weapons have always been powerful, and he is good at using fewer enemies to many, so the small ones think that the Metropolitan Governor will not bring too many people, otherwise he will weaken his reputation. ”
Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong glanced at each other, nodded to each other, turned to Jiading and said, "You did a good job, go down and get a reward of five taels of silver, and explore again!" ”
The family gave a gift and thanked him, and did not mention it.
Liu Mengyan said: "Cheng Yue will be there soon, I'll wait to go out to greet you." After that, he raised his legs and left, Chen Yi and the others all sighed and followed them out of the house.
As soon as the group stood still, Cheng Yue led a hundred guards to ignore the dismount monument in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they rushed to the front of the mansion. People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, so frightened that Liu Mengyan and the others retreated again and again, they wanted to open their mouths and scolded but didn't dare, so they could only hold it in their hearts, and they had to squeeze out a smile on their faces.
Cheng Yue jumped off the horse, bowed his hand to Liumengyan and Chen Yizhong, and said with a smile: "There are two prime ministers waiting for you, and the lower officials are terrified." ”
Liu Mengyan laughed and said, "The Metropolitan Governor is really a young hero!" The old man hadn't seen such a fierce cavalry for many years. The Great Song Dynasty has the governor of the capital, and we old men can enjoy our happiness with peace of mind, and tease Sun, ah, haha. ”
Cheng Yue Zhengse said: "Where did Pingzhang come from?" In this Manchu Dynasty, if there were not one or two high-ranking ministers like the two Pingzhang to suppress the battle, how could these martial artists let go to go out to fight? Just like this time, if the lower officials went to Dadu, if it weren't for the two Pingzhang to stabilize the government, how could the lower officials dare to leave? In the future, I will take more care of it, and the lower officials are grateful. ”
Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong were so sour by Cheng Yue's insincere words that their teeth were half gone, but fortunately, they had been in officialdom for a long time and could not deal with this kind of scene.
Liu Mengyan stepped forward and took Cheng Yue's hand very affectionately, and said: "It's rare for the Metropolitan Governor to come to the Humble House as a guest, what do you do with those kind words, come on, come on, please come in, the old man has been looking forward to this day for a long time." ”
Cheng Yue smiled and put his arm into the house with Liumengyan. Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu followed behind, cautiously looking around, and the other guards also unceremoniously followed into the mansion, guarding the key points along the way Cheng Yue entered the mansion.
In fact, this approach of the protector is extremely rude, but everyone pretends not to see it, who makes Chen Yizhong's reputation for hospitality bad? Don't be bored.
Although Liu Mengyan is shameless and traitorous, the mansion is beautiful, except that the scale is not as large as Cheng Yue's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the degree of refinement is not lost at all. Along the way, Liu Mengyan introduced the flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere from time to time, which made Cheng Yue grow a lot of knowledge, after all, Liu Mengyan was born as a champion and has his own housekeeping skills.
When he came to the main hall, Cheng Yue sat in the third place after his resignation, Xiao Zhen and Ma Fu stood close to Cheng Yue and did not sit down.
After drinking a cup of tea first, Cheng Yue put down the tea bowl and praised: "Pingzhang's mansion is like a fairyland on earth, which makes people forget their worries when they see it. ”
How could Liu Mengyan not hear that Cheng Yue was humble, and said with a smile: "Dadu Dudu's "Linjiang Immortal" is full of anger, and everyone who sees it is moved, how can it be a layman?" The old man heard that the governor's mansion was exquisite and elegant, and the courtyard was vast, and even the two saints were full of praise, and the old man was nothing here. ”
Chen Yizhong said: "As the son of the Empress Dowager, the Metropolitan Governor is not arrogant or reserved, and he has also compiled such a famous passage as the "Three Character Classic", which is really admirable compared to the great Confucians in the court. ”
Everyone in the hall nodded yes, Cheng Yue smiled, and inevitably complimented each other a few more words. For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, and there was no fireworks at all.
After talking for a while, Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong couldn't help but be secretly frightened. Generally speaking, people who are young and have some power in their hands will inevitably show some edge, not to mention a person like Cheng Yue who is powerful enough to manipulate the government. They were ready to be sneered at by Cheng Yue, and even scolded him in advance in their hearts to relieve their anger. But the governor in front of him was modest and easy-going, gentle and polite, and there was no condescending appearance to their group of defeated generals, and the compliments to them should also be decent. Since entering the house, he has been smiling, modest and cautious, which makes people feel more and more unfathomable, where the hell did this person pop up?!
It's boring to talk for too long, Liu Mengyan has an archery range at home, and he has already prepared a bow and arrow, so please go over and relax your muscles. Archery is one of the six arts, and the literati in ancient times often shoot arrows for fun, and those who are skilled in archery are also heard from time to time, and they have little to do with civil and military officials.
Since Cheng Yue crossed, as long as he has the opportunity, he has seriously practiced archery. There is an archery range outside Cining Palace, where Cheng Yue not only plays games and has fun with his students, but also picks up bows and arrows to practice in his spare time. Although I don't know if I can use it, it is more difficult for a man to have a chance to shoot a few arrows but not shoot them than to make a man not look at beautiful women.
