Chapter 296: Back to Suzhou

Wang, Yu, and Sun were a little scared when they saw Cheng Yue so brave, so they had to come up together to serve. Cheng Yue loves the beauty of the Wang family and the delicate beauty of the Yu family and the Sun family, and enjoys the blessing of tenderness in them.

The three concubines were all given to Cheng Yue, so they served them with extra care, for fear that Cheng Yue would dislike them and make Cheng Yue have a lot of fun.

Cheng Yue liked the third concubine very much, especially the Wang family, and wanted to sleep with her in her arms, but after a little hesitation, he finally chose Rou Niang and Mei'er.

Wang knew that it was impossible to compete for peerless beauties like Rou Niang, Mei'er, and Lilac, Cheng Yue could look at her and hesitate, she was already very happy.

Rou Niang and Mei'er hugged Cheng Yue Shen and fell asleep tenderly, and Lilac was stunned on the side. With her appearance and talent, she didn't even have a position next to Cheng Yue, she had nothing to say when she lost to Rou Niang, but Mei'er, who had just grown her hair, also won her, only Mei'er was innocent, did Cheng Yue dislike her? She has worked so hard, but she still can't become important in Cheng Yue's heart?

Cheng Yue is very satisfied, to get a rare beauty like Rou Niang, no man will be unhappy, Mei'er and Lilac are also amazingly beautiful, and the other three concubines are not inferior, he is very happy tonight, no less than the night he married sixteen concubines in one go.

After sleeping until dawn, the two ladies knocked on the door and came in to congratulate the six concubines.

Rou Niang and Mei'er were so ashamed that they were embarrassed to look up in their arms, and Lilac and the other four concubines got into the quilt, revealing only a red face, all of them beautiful.

Rou Niang and Mei'er are shy and shy, they still have to do what they have to do, and they are very willing to do it. Endured the initial pain. Serve Cheng Yue to wash and change clothes. Have breakfast with Cheng Yue and the concubines.

All the concubines came from the past. took special care of the two of them, in addition to serving Cheng Yue, not letting them work anymore, just rest assured.

Cheng Yue accepted six beautiful concubines and was very happy. In the name of a reward, he ordered that the armies and servants who went north with him be rewarded with one tael of silver, and that they should be roasted once in the evening, so as to boost their morale. The news is out. The cheers of the army were thunderous, and the cheers and congratulations on the shore and on the water were one after another.

After breakfast, we pulled out the anchor and set off, along the river, and went straight to Suzhou. Cheng Yue was still lying in the recliner to enjoy the scenery, Rou Niang and Mei'er did not dare to compete with Zhang Shufang and Ye Yiyi for favor, so they gave up the position next to Cheng Yue, but Cheng Yue unexpectedly let Yu and Sun accompany him. The two concubines were surprised and delighted, as gentle as cats, and clinged to Cheng Yue's side.

Boat trip for half a day. I saw a large number of warships in front of me, and one of them was a huge warship. A red gold dragon flag was hung high, slightly smaller than the big flag on Cheng Yue's boat, and there were two mighty and fierce generals standing under it, it was Li Ting and Liu Guojie who led two thousand sailors to greet them.

Cheng Yue greeted them on the boat, and the two hurriedly saluted Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue waved his hand, and two thousand sailors followed Cheng Yue's imperial boat on both sides and behind, and went straight to Suzhou.

In the city of Suzhou, in order to welcome Cheng Yue's arrival, hundreds of civil and military officials, and families all moved. Cheng Yue didn't just pass by, he also wanted to stay in Suzhou for a few days, waiting for the Mongolian prince to meet him.

After more than half a year of changes, Suzhou is full of vitality, political communication and harmony, new things emerge in an endless stream, and the merchants and people have their own benefits, all of which are given by Cheng Yue's new policy.

Before Cheng Yue arrived in Suzhou in the afternoon, the wharf in Suzhou was already bustling, and the crowd of people crowded the wharf. Except for a road that Zhang Rong ordered the army to protect, there was no place to stay. Suzhou's civil and military officials and wealthy families, together with countless people who spontaneously came to greet them, gathered here, happily waiting for Cheng Yue's drive.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, "It's coming!" Here it comes! The Governor is here! ”

Everyone involuntarily stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance. Sure enough, the masts of several ships were seen in the distance. A few more moments, a huge fleet of nearly a hundred ships appeared on the water. Many warships guarded one of the magnificent ships - it was the imperial boat of the Great Song Dynasty!

The boat was heavily protected by heavy troops, impermeable to the wind, and the cavalry on the shore roared by, like a swimming dragon. The red bottom golden dragon flag is hung high on the boat, hunting and hunting, and there is a five-clawed golden dragon on it, with teeth and claws, brilliant and dazzling. The momentum of the entire fleet is like an overwhelming mountain, and it is indomitable, compared to the emperor's travel, and it is more than that.

All the civil and military tycoons and the onlookers were all taken by the gods, and I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "The first child of the strange flower, the emperor, the cadre, the man." The golden dragon goes north and sweeps the eight wildernesses! ”

Everyone present was shocked, but they all pretended not to hear, but they were secretly beating drums in their hearts. The Metropolitan Governor is already unspeakably expensive, and it is a matter of time before he becomes a king, so what next? The Empress Dowager accepted the Metropolitan Governor as her righteous son, and she played a good chess game!

Cheng Yue's imperial boat slowly docked on the dock, and the civil and military officials stood on both sides, solemn.

Cheng Yue saw that the Suzhou officials were solemn and felt helpless. Zhang Shufang took out the court clothes and was rejected by Cheng Yue with a wave of his hand. After the ship docked, he was still wearing the civilian clothes on the ship, and he did not bring his entourage, and walked off the boat in a personable manner.

As soon as Cheng Yue appeared, the drums on the dock immediately rang out, and all the civil and military officers stepped forward in turn to salute and greet Cheng Yue slightly. The onlookers cheered Cheng Yue like a tsunami, vying to see the demeanor of the young governor.

Cheng Yue greeted the ministers one by one, the surroundings were noisy, it was not suitable for conversation, the crowd was crowded, and they could not stay for a long time, so they rode horses and sedan chairs and went to the Suzhou Mansion.

The people of Suzhou did not disperse, but walked with Cheng Yue, and there were also a large number of people on both sides of the road who saluted Cheng Yue along the way, and many of them were wearing improved short clothes, very energetic.

Cheng Yue kept waving to the people all the way, and picked up a girl who was still immature halfway, chatting and laughing with her parents, and making the standard political show of later generations full. Seeing that Cheng Yue was so approachable, the people of Suzhou loved Cheng Yue even more, and sent Cheng Yue to the Suzhou Mansion all the way.

Zhang Rongshi saw that the door of the mansion was finally slowly closed, and let out a sigh of relief. He temporarily took over the escort Cheng Yue, and he was very nervous along the way, but now he can relax his mind.

Cheng Yue took the lead, entered the middle hall, stood on top of it, and all the civil and military officers sat down on both sides, and they all greeted Cheng Yue again.

Cheng Yue returned the salute, and when he saw that Gauss had gained some weight, he said with a smile: "Master Gao has a lot of responsibilities and many affairs, but he can lift weights like light, and his heart is wide and fat, it seems that I am not wrong!" ”

The ministers laughed, but Gaussde had a smug face. He has a heavy responsibility in Suzhou, and with Cheng Yue's unreserved full support, the court and the central government dare not trouble him, so that he can let go of his hands and feet and do a big job. In the past few days, he has established a three-level court system according to Cheng Yue's intentions, promulgated countless decrees to punish corruption, acted vigorously and resolutely, and did an extremely happy job as an official.

Cheng Yue gave his subordinates a very high salary, he lived here comfortably, ate comfortably, although he was tired from work, he didn't feel hard, and he unconsciously gained a few catties of meat. Now that he was brought up by Cheng Yue, he was unexpected.

Yin Yu said with a smile: "This is all to blame for the fact that the dishes invented by the Metropolitan Governor are too delicious, Master Gao eats happily every day, and he can eat the chili peppers I gave him raw!" As soon as we met, they pestered me to ask for seeds. If I don't give, I complain that I'm stingy. Okay, the Metropolitan Governor is here today, and the tall man may wish to ask the Metropolitan Governor in person. The Governor nodded, and I personally delivered it to the house in the evening. ”

Everyone laughed again, Gauss had to pretend to be too vain, ignoring Yin Yu, he didn't dare to ask Cheng Yue for such an important thing.

Cheng Yue smiled at Zhao Mengfu and said, "I heard that your two concubines are pregnant, you still have a way, congratulations." But you have to marry a wife quickly, someone in the family has to preside, do you want me to be a matchmaker for you? ”

Zhao Mengfu smiled awkwardly and said busily: "In his busy schedule, the governor still thinks about his subordinates' relatives, and his subordinates are grateful. "Cheng Yue has so many wives, but none of them are pregnant yet. He only has two concubines, but they are both pregnant, which is really not good to say.

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "The Governor of the Metropolitan is a step late, Lord Wang Yinglin and Lord Wang are already planning to marry their daughter to Lord Zhao, Miss Wang is dignified and virtuous, and Lord Yang is a good couple." I heard that Lord Zhao had even prepared a dowry, so he waited for Lord Wang to come to Suzhou to discuss the matter. ”

Wang Yinglin was not in Suzhou, so he couldn't congratulate him in person. But Cheng Yue was very happy to hear it, he snatched the pipe that should have been married to Zhao Mengfu, and he always felt guilty about Zhao Mengfu, and he had always been a heart disease, and now he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned such good news. This is good, he can no longer be ashamed of Zhao Mengfu.

Wang Wenlong was worried that Cheng Yue was sad, and said: "Most of the Metropolitan Governors are full of descendants, there is no need to rush this matter, fate has not yet arrived." ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "What you say is reasonable. You don't have to worry about me, I'm still young, and sooner or later I'll have a lot of children. ”

The ministers nodded again and again, Cheng Yue was only twenty years old, and it was indeed not time to be in a hurry.

Cheng Yue rarely came to visit, and all the ministers were very practical, and after a few jokes, they began to submit difficult political matters. Anyway, there was nothing to do, Cheng Yue spread out these things, and while discussing them with the ministers, he ordered them to be resolved one by one, looking like a court meeting.

The most important thing was Liu Shun's matter, a large number of weapons he had made on Cheng Yue's orders had been prepared, and he also brought samples of refined crossbows and flintlock pistols.

The strong crossbow will be used this time, and Cheng Yue is very satisfied after checking it. After all, the craftsmen of the Southern Song Dynasty are the best in the world, and they also have experience in making strong crossbows, and the finished products are very good, whether it is the range, the quality of the parts, and the portability, which are all admirable.

The flintlock pistol is not good, and Liu Shun also knows that he just showed it to Cheng Yue and asked him to point out where he still needs to improve and how to do it. No one has ever done this thing, only Cheng Yue understands. (To be continued......)
