Chapter 148: Crisis
In Lin'an City, there are many things that are said to have been robbed openly by Cheng Yue on the street of the Hujun, and this is still second, and what is even more exaggerated is that they seem to have robbed Wen Tianxiang and Wen Xianggong's eldest daughter Ding Niang into Cheng's mansion.
Wen Tianxiang is the emperor's teacher, and the military department is still the book! What's more, he is actually Cheng Yue's ally, and he has supported him since Cheng Yue first appeared. Will the newly stabilized government fall into chaos again?
This matter immediately became a major news for the court to inquire about together. Almost all those who witnessed this were found and questioned by different people, and a large number of people were sent out to inquire around. The doors of the Cheng Mansion and the Wen Mansion were full of people who had come to listen to the news and secretly stared at the movements.
This matter soon spread to the palace, Deng Weishan was shocked when he heard the news, and he was so anxious that he quickly entered the Cining Hall in person and reported to the Empress Dowager Xie Daoqing.
Xie Daoqing was also taken aback, where did he expect this kind of thing to happen, and he couldn't help but palpitate. She knew the stakes of this matter, and immediately ordered Deng Weishan to summon several important ministers who could talk to Wen Tianxiang and Cheng Yue, Wu Jian, Xie Tang, Chen Zhongwei, Sun Rongsuo, Chang Nan, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and others to come to the palace to discuss.
Some of the important ministers who were summoned were resting at home, and they didn't know about it, and when they heard that the palace was urgently summoned because of Cheng Yue's matter, they thought that Cheng Yue was doing something, and they were so frightened that they almost ran away with their families. After listening to the repeated explanations from the palace, I realized that Cheng Yue's subordinates had caused such a big disaster and arrested Wen Tianxiang's eldest daughter into the mansion. I breathed a sigh of relief here, but I had a headache over there.
Why do you want to do so much? Just settled down, can't you have a good life for a few days? Cheng Yue has a heavy army. Who dares to mess with it? But Wen Tianxiang also has tens of thousands of soldiers. It's the emperor again. The important minister of the country, this matter is not handled well, once the two turn against each other and become enemies, the DPRK and China will have many troubles since then.
The ministers did not dare to cause a commotion, so they all let the sedan chair walk calmly, entered the palace gate, and then relied on their two legs to quickly rush to the side hall.
Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu were waiting in the hall, and saw that the ministers had arrived one after another with solemn expressions. None of them had a relaxed expression, and they obviously didn't have any good ideas.
Zhang Shijie sighed heavily, the situation in the DPRK and China was very good for him, and he also took over the post of Cheng Yue's Marine Corps commander, and was selecting people, but unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances, and his two allies were about to clash, just because of a misunderstanding, what should he do?
Xie Daoqing glanced at several ministers, coughed lightly, and said, "All the secretaries know, right?" There seems to be some misunderstanding between the Metropolitan Governor's subordinates and the Bachelor of Arts today. It can be big or small. While it was still too late, the mourning family wanted to invite several Aiqing to go to the Wenfu and the Dadu Governor's farm outside the city to mediate the matter. I don't know which Aiqing would like to go? ”
When Zhang Shijie heard this, he immediately stood up and said: "The minister is willing to go outside the city, this matter is the Metropolitan Governor's own opinion, the Metropolitan Governor must not know what happened, the Minister immediately Pegasus informed, please come back to preside over the matter, and the matter will definitely settle down." However, it is already evening, and the city gate must have been latched when the minister returned, and he asked the saint to give the minister a convenience. ”
Xie Daoqing agreed: "What's so difficult about this? The mourning family ordered to go down, and Zhang Qing, the token of passage, just go to Deng Weishan to get it, be sure to explain the matter to the Metropolitan Governor, and ask the Metropolitan Governor to solve this matter as soon as possible, and don't let the young lady of the Wen family spend the night in the Cheng Mansion, otherwise it will be a big obstacle to the Ming Festival, and it will be difficult to explain to the Bachelor of Letters. ”
Lu Xiufu also stood up and said: "The minister will go to the Bachelor's Mansion and try his best to stabilize the Bachelor of Letters, so as not to let him get angry and go directly to the Cheng Mansion." ”
Several other ministers also stood up and said, "The ministers are also willing to go." ”
Xie Daoqing rubbed his temples on both sides and said, "Alas, if you are willing to share your worries for the imperial court, please leave as soon as possible, in case there will be changes later." Both of them are pillars of the imperial court, and they have contributed to the society, but they can't hurt their harmony because of a misunderstanding. The mourning family is waiting for news in the palace, no matter what, at least one person must be stabilized, and there must be no conflict. ”
When several ministers received the message, they all immediately set off and hurried out of the palace.
Zhang Shijie is a military general, he ran fast, found Deng Weishan and took the pass token, and after riding out of the city, he immediately beat the horse and galloped wildly, anxious, and couldn't wait to arrive immediately, and immediately invited Cheng Yue back.
When Zhang Shijie ran to the point where he couldn't see the road clearly, he just rushed to Cheng Yue's manor. In a hurry, he asked the guards guarding the gate of the manor to report.
The guards guarding the door were Li Dashi's subordinates and knew Zhang Shijie. Seeing that Zhang Shijie came to the Metropolitan Governor in person, he knew that something important must happen. didn't dare to delay at all, rushed all the way to the place where Cheng Yue was staying, and then the servant woman guarding the door passed inside.
Cheng Yue lectured for a day, finished dinner with the two concubines and Wan'er Gillian, and was amusing whether the five of them should sleep together at night. Gillian and Wan'er were both ashamed, and kept shaking their heads in refusal.
In fact, Ye Qian'er and Hu Xiuxiu didn't want to, but they knew that Cheng Yue was just joking, and he still had something to deal with tonight. So he smiled and didn't say anything on the side, but it made Gillian and Wan'er very worried, are they too stubborn? Isn't it that the concubines of big families have to wait for their husbands like this?
The servant woman eagerly reported that Zhang Shijie had come to tell them something in person, and Cheng Yuecai smiled and said to them: "Okay, don't force you, I still have something, I'm afraid I can't accompany you today, you obediently sleep by yourself." ”
Ye Qian'er and Hu Xiuxiu thought that Cheng Yue was going to take Wen Dingniang into the mansion, and they couldn't get tired of being with Cheng Yue every day in the future, and they reluctantly didn't want to let Cheng Yue go.
Cheng Yue also pitied them in his heart, anyway, it was still early, so he took them into his arms, and everyone kissed for a long time before they drove them into the bedroom together in the red-eyed eyes of Gillian and Wan'er.
As soon as the door of the four concubines was closed, they heard the sound of "knocking" footsteps outside from far and near, and a black shadow ran over quickly.
Before Cheng Yue could say please come in, Zhang Shijie appeared in front of Cheng Yue sweating profusely.
Cheng Yue saw that Zhang Shijie was out of breath and couldn't speak, and said with a smile: "Look, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you finally came, and you can't say anything, why is this so painful?" Come on, come on, sit down and have a cup of tea. What is going on in the world to let Master Zhang come to my small farm to find me in person? I guess what, is it that Liu Mengyan is afraid that I will deal with him, so he simply committed suicide first? Or is the Empress Dowager soft-hearted for a while, and wants to give the West Lake to her younger brother under me, do you want to get a piece of the pie? ”
Zhang Shijie was made to cry and laugh by Cheng Yue, and at this time he was relieved, and hurriedly explained the matter to Cheng Yue in as much detail as possible, and then asked Cheng Yue to go back with him to deal with the matter.
Cheng Yue looked at Zhang Shijie in a daze. He originally thought that Zhang Shijie knew about it, at least he could guess it after hearing about it, but he didn't expect that he really didn't understand it at all.
Zhang Shijie saw that Cheng Yue was only in a daze with him, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Metropolitan Governor, this matter must not wait, please Metropolitan Governor quickly go back with me, otherwise Xianggong Wen will not be able to explain it." Seeing that the night is getting late, and Lu Xiufu doesn't know how long he can hold off Wen Xianggong, let's go quickly. ”
Cheng Yue said to Zhang Shijie with some confusion: "Brother Shijie, you really can't see that this is a play that I played with Wen Xianggong?" ”
Zhang Shijie was startled and shouted, "What?!" Play? No, it's Miss Wen in the carriage. Yes?! Are you saying that Xiang Gong Wen is willing to let Dingniang be your concubine? Dingniang is the eldest daughter! Wen Xianggong actually agreed? You didn't lie to me? ”
Cheng Yue nodded solemnly a few times.
Zhang Shijie was so shocked by the news that his jaw almost crooked, and he looked at Cheng Yue blankly, not knowing what to say.
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "I won't tell you, Gong Wen didn't want his eldest daughter to be my concubine, and he was forced by me." I just like Dingniang, I have to marry her. Wen Xianggong was so entangled by me that he couldn't help it, so he cooperated with me to act in such a play. Unexpectedly, even you were deceived. Haha, it's better this way, and it's impossible for others not to believe it. However, in the next play, we still have to act enough, and we can't show flaws halfway. ”
Zhang Shijie suddenly realized: "No wonder there has been no movement in the Mansion of the Prime Minister of Wen, I thought it was because I was afraid of you, but it turned out to be like this." By the way, you didn't tell Lu Xiufu about this matter, right? ”
Cheng Yue thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to be, I just told him that the matter has been decided, and I didn't say anything else." ”
Zhang Shijie said: "This is about the same, if Lu Xiufu knows about this and refuses to tell me, I will worry in vain, and I will definitely find trouble with him." Then he smiled and said: "Governor, you thought of such a big plan, and went around such a big circle, so you grabbed Ding Niang from Wen Xianggong, presumably Niang must be very beautiful, right?" ”
Cheng Yue also said with a smile: "I have won awards, but I am just thin and beautiful, and I am definitely not as good as Brother Shijie." ”
Zhang Shijie laughed and said, "The Metropolitan Governor is really worthy of his reputation, a romantic seed." Anyway, I'm here too, so I'll ask the Governor to tell me what to do next? ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "It stands to reason that I have to go back to Lin'an with you." Next, I would search up and down the back house of the house, but of course I couldn't find it. I didn't find it until a day or two later, what do you think I should do? ”
Zhang Shijie couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised loudly: "Good! In this way, Dingniang has no other way to go except to marry you, not only to save the face of Wen Xianggong, but also to give you the lining, I am old Zhang suited! People say that the Metropolitan Governor uses soldiers like gods, and I really saw it today! If I had a daughter, I would have to marry the Governor!" By the way, I really have a niece, that's called a virtuous ......" (to be continued......
