After the completion of the court meeting, it is to set up a banquet in the back hall, banquet Jin envoys and the northeastern khanates, Zhengde just drank a glass of wine and sat down and left, King Fu for him to entertain, long sleeves good at dancing, coping with ease, but also the guests and hosts are happy.

Thirty miles south of Yue, roughly the midpoint of the straight line leading from Yue to the north gate of the capital, there is a small town.

The town is not far from the official road, the scale is not large, the history is very short, but it was developed after the construction of Liyue began. Liyue was built, and 1.2 million people were levied, and I don't know how many people walked on this official road every day, and this is the midpoint position, and I was tired when I walked here, and I wanted to rest.

At first it was a tea shed, then it became a street, and then it became a town.

After the official road is repaired, the official road here leads to all directions, to the northeast through Shanhaiguan, to the north through Miyun Ji Town, to the northwest through Juyong Pass through Xuanda, is to pass through the businessmen are also a lot of people, so such a town arises. Many businessmen choose to stop and eat here, and slowly, it is also prosperous.

Originally, this town didn't even have a name, but then there was a young master Wang in the town, and I heard that the ancestor was originally the Tianjin Weiren clan, and then went to Liaodi, and did business for generations, and walked the line of Liaodi-Beijing City. I made a lot of money by selling ginseng and mountain goods. Young Master Wang is the third child in the family, and he is still from a partial house, and he can't stand such pickled nests at home, so he took a sum of silver from the family and came out to wander. Later, when he saw that he could get up here, he settled here and opened a great inn. This young master Wang has a good family background. The silver he brought with him was also very large, and the business was very large. Not only does it have a business of drinking and lodging, but it also has horses in the backyard. Prepare a car, concurrently run the business of a big car shop, and from time to time you can bring back some special products from the north, and the money is endless.

As an outsider, it's not that no one has beaten their idea, but this Wang Dashao is not his own, and there are more than a dozen powerful family members by his side, all of whom can fight. There were a few scoundrels who didn't open their eyes and went to the door to make trouble, but one of them broke a leg and threw it out, and then they all knew that it was powerful, and no one dared to provoke it.

But fortunately, Wang Dashao is not a gentleman, and he is also kind. Later, his business became bigger and bigger, so the merchants passing by called it Wangjiatunzi, and slowly called it away, all called it like this.

It's noon. It was the time when the Venerable Master of Wang Dahu's 'Wang Ji Inn' was inside, inside and out, the river was endless, and Xiao Er greeted the guests with a smile at the door. The service here is also considerate. When people went in to eat, they led the carriage to the backyard and unloaded the bridles. Give the horse water to eat.

The first floor of the restaurant is a place to eat, and there are large tables filled with them. The seats were full, and everyone drank wine and ate meat. It's noisy and noisy, it's very lively.

On the second floor, there are private rooms and guest rooms, and at this time, in the best private room, several people are sitting by themselves, eating wine and food, talking and laughing.

The leader is a boy in a green shirt, who is not too old and weak, with a face like a crown of jade, with a faint smile on his face, but he has the majesty of a superior person.

It was Lian Zining, and the others were Liu Liangchen, Wang Posan, and Wang Ba, and that Wang Dashao was standing respectfully on the side, like a subordinate.

He is not very old, and he is not ugly, but he has a cynical ruffian air on his face, and because of this, he was selected by Li Tie to come here to open this shop as a small flag of MI6.

Although Lian Zining said a few words and laughed from time to time, he seemed leisurely, but between his eyebrows, there was anxiety that could not be hidden.

The layout has been for a long time, and today it is going to be done in one battle, and if you want to say that you are not nervous, it is false.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the entrance of the town, and when he saw the face of the knight through the window, Lian Zining suddenly stood up, and then sat down slowly.

Wang Posan understood, waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wang, go and greet you." ”

"Yes!" Wang Dashao responded very simply, without even a superfluous word, he just went down.

After a while, Wang Dashao led a tall man in, and then quietly retreated.

Seeing this tall and strong man come in, except for Lian Zining, the other three people all stood up, Wang Posan and Wang Ba gave a military salute and said, "See Shi Zhenfu!" ”

Liu Liangchen laughed: "Old Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

It was Shi Dazhu who came in, and he entered Liyue as a protected officer of the Wu Yi Army, of course, the main purpose was to listen to Lian Zining for news, and as soon as the news was obtained, he immediately rushed over.

Shi Dazhu smiled at him, and then walked in front of Lian Zining, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "Knock down and see the commander of the envoy!" ”

"What? Are all commanders? Lian Zining was stunned at first, and then overjoyed, suddenly stood up, dragged Shi Dazhu up, stared at him, and said in a trembling voice: "It's done?" ”

"It's done!"

Shi Dazhu laughed, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Congratulations to the lord, the court will discuss the abolition of the Nuergan Governor's Office, and the establishment of the Nuergan Division, under the jurisdiction of the five generals' jurisdictions, in addition to the original four, the new Jiangbei generals' jurisdictions." The emperor personally decreed that you should be appointed as the commander of the Nuer Gandu Division, and take over the military and political power of the Nuer Gan, and also lead the Jiangbei General and the Songhuajiang General, and control the other three generals. ”

He paused, took a deep breath, and said in a solemn tone: "This Northeast, from now on, is yours!" ”

When the other three heard this, they were first surprised, and then they were overjoyed, and they all knelt down and said, "Sign, congratulations!" ”

Lian Zining was also full of excitement and excitement, he stood in place for a moment, as if the whole person was a little stunned by the news, and then strode out, directly stepping on a horse and galloping out.

Shi Dazhu and the others looked at each other, and hurriedly rode out to follow.

Lian Zining left the town and rode out for several miles, and when he reached the silent wilderness where no one was there, Fang Cai looked up to the sky and laughed!

Laughing and laughing. But the tears fell in a stream.

He only felt like something was blocked in his heart, and he had to cry bitterly. to vent out.

From the first day he went to Tohoku, he was planning. In the layout, in the calculation, it is for today's day, it is for the official position of the commander of this capital!

It's been two years, two whole years!

I finally waited for this day.

He rolled off the horse, and in the early spring, the ground was already covered with a layer of molten green shoots, and Lian Zining threw himself on the grass, hiding his face and crying bitterly.

Everyone saw his brilliance. His glory, his glory, but who has seen his pain?

Everyone knows that Wu Yijun is the strongest army in the world, and Wu Yibo is the most capable of fighting the 'famous general of the ancients' praised by the emperor himself, but who knows that he worked hard and slept every night for the victory of that battle. Dedicated.

His territory is getting bigger and bigger, and his official position is getting higher and higher, but who sees it again, he has been a whole year. I never returned home.

Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want.

And even those who know Lian Zining's ambitions are amazed at his ambition in their hearts. Ambition, amazing courage and madness that is not afraid of being wiped out by the Nine Clans after being exposed. But isn't Lian Zining really afraid?

He's afraid! How is he not afraid? He was scared to death!

He often thinks that when he wakes up, he finds that his house is surrounded by countless sword and axe men. The blade deepened, and in the end, he, a rebel thief, was cut by a thousand knives. His relatives have been reduced to the most despicable slaves.

How is he not afraid? Every time he thought about this, he was sweating like a pulp and his whole body was cold.

But there are some things that you have to do even if you are afraid.

Unless they want this country to fall into the darkness of that hundred years again, to become a laggard in the tide of world development again, and to experience the incomparably painful modern century again.

Lian Zining thinks that he does not have the ability to transform this dynasty from the inside, this dynasty, this empire, has some stubborn diseases, it is already deep in the bone marrow, and if you want to change it, it is no longer a broken muscle, but a complete collapse.

Since it can't come from the inside, it can only come from the outside.

Even if you don't talk about these overall aspects, in fact, when Lian Zining did those things with the words "chaotic ministers and thieves", there was no way back.

You can only go forward. To retreat is to die.

And now, my fear has finally come to an end for the time being.

He understood better than anyone what the official position of the commander of this slave Gandu Sidu meant.

Jin Lin is a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds.

And the position of the commander of this slave Gandu Sidu is his own wind and clouds. It can be said that once he has done this position, he has already begun to take his own Wu Yijun and embark on the road of establishing a × × for half ×. Since then, the court has no choice but to do anything about itself!

And all you need is to sit in this position, manage it well, and then one day!

Become a dragon!

At this time, the long song should cry.

After crying, he was resolute again.

When Lian Zining stood up, he became the invincible Uncle Wu Yi again.

Shi Dazhu and a few people stood far away, not daring to come over, for fear of seeing Lian Zining's embarrassment, which would be a blessing or a curse.

Lian Zining rode his horse back, slowly walking in the direction of Jingshi, and the three of them followed behind, and after a while, Lian Zining suddenly said: "The matter of the White Lotus Sect incident should have been spread." What was the reaction of the imperial court? ”

"I order you to command the army and conquer the White Lotus Sect." Shi Dazhu paused, and then said: "In addition, send King Liang as an angel to inspect Nuer Gandu Division and supervise the army." ”

"King Liang inspects the slaves?" Lian Zining was slightly stunned and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it in detail." ”

Shi Dazhu told him in detail about the scene in the court, and Helian Leopard told him in person, which was naturally very detailed.

When Lian Zining heard this, his face gradually became a little gloomy, this Sun Yanzhi is really endless! Yes?

He is now also aware of his mistake, and his carelessness at the beginning has left him with such a terrible opponent.

Shi Dazhu said: "This is not good news, I just didn't say it under the mark, I don't want to disturb the interest of adults." ”

Lian Zining pondered for a moment, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly laughed and patted Shi Dazhu's shoulder heavily: "Dazhu, who said this is not good news?" That's great news! ”

If it were someone else, Lian Zining might still have some worries in his heart. After all, there are too many unsightly things on his own territory, and in fact, this is also Lian Zining's consistent weak link. That is, he was lucky, and there were people in the court to cover it. Fang Zi was not exposed, in fact, he still had quite a lot of weaknesses and handles. However, this is not a problem after securing the position of the commander of the slave Gandu Sidu.

And Lian Zining knew through Dai Zhangpu that King Liang's ambition, Lian Zining likes ambitious people, ambition means need, and it means that there is the possibility of cooperation between the two sides.

Maybe this time King Liang comes, he can bring a different surprise of his own!

He waved his big hand: "Go." Let's go back to the camp. ”

———————— Dividing Line————————

It was a good time this morning, the sun was shining, and the spring was warm, but I didn't expect that after the afternoon, the time of day would change, the cold wind was howling, the lead clouds on the horizon piled up, and the sky and the earth were dark. After a while, palm-sized snow leaves swirled down.

This is the so-called inverted spring cold, and it is also the spring cold that literati and writers often say.

It's already a warm spring day, but it gets extremely cold from time to time. There will even be rain and snow coming down.

Beijing City is located in the north, and it is very common to have a cold spring, and the old and young masters in the capital have long adapted to it. At this time, on the gray streets of Beijing, pedestrians are hurriedly returning home with cotton jackets wrapped in strict colors. The stalls on both sides also cleaned up their things. However, those shops were not very affected, especially some literati and scholars. Seeing the snow at this time, it is like beating chicken blood, calling friends and going to the restaurant, drinking and enjoying the snow, what an elegant thing!

Wu Yibo's Mansion is still the same as usual.

Quiet, indifferent, bathed in this wind and snow.

Just like its hostess.

In the backyard of Qinglan's residence, in the small flower hall, several women were talking and laughing.

The woman in the high-ranking family has nothing to do, and the elegant one reads the book every day, plays the piano, and looks at the book. In this season of heavy snowfall, several people gathered together, drinking tea, gossiping, some did not, and the afternoon passed slowly.

It's also leisurely.

It is the life of people in this era.

Xiaoqing and Kang Ling are lively and tight, although Xiaoqing is already a woman, she has not changed her temperament, and Lian Zining is unwilling to erase their nature, so it is better to live freely.

The two of them were chattering and talking very lively, but they were talking about a few children's books that came out of the market.

Kang Su was more steady, and just interjected two sentences from time to time on the side.

Qinglan just sat there, drinking tea, smiling faintly, and looking at them.

She is wearing a pale yellow skirt today, and she looks even more elegant and beautiful, but there is a trace of tiredness between her eyebrows.

"I don't know what my husband thinks now, how to deal with this matter! But I didn't expect me to do that, but it was self-defeating and let the emperor accept Kou Baimen as a concubine. ”

Listening to the chirping of her two younger sisters, her mind flew away.

Thinking of this stubble, I felt a burst of regret in my heart, but in retrospect, if I faced such a situation again, I should still do it!

After all, as a woman, she understands what women value most - chastity, although it is as deep as the sea as soon as she enters the palace, it is better than immediately defiling King Lu, this kind of thing, even if you can hold back for a moment, it is also good.

"Perhaps, in this way, the husband can also think about it, and he will no longer worry about this matter in the future, I can't say it, but there are some benefits."

A hint of happiness and anticipation suddenly appeared in Qing Lan's heart, which made him feel a little surprised.

No one wants their husbands to have other women in mind.

"Miss? Miss? ”

Xiaoqing's call made Qinglan come back to her senses suddenly, and she said with a little panic: "Huh? What's wrong? ”

But seeing that the three of them were looking at him with very strange eyes, Xiaoqing puffed out his face, crossed his waist and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, I have called you three times, you seem to be always distracted recently, is there something to hide from us?" ”

"Where? Xiaoqing, you think too much. Qinglan concealed her smile, but she was not good at hypocrisy, and even the Kang Su Kangling sisters couldn't hide it. Not to mention Xiaoqing, who gets along with her day and night.

Naturally, she hid it from Xiaoqing and the others. In terms of identity. She was a lady, and several of them were concubines. In terms of dignity and humility, she is the lady of the command, the elder sister, and the one who wants to support the family when her husband is not at home. These things don't have to bother others anymore.

"Really?"

Xiao Qing looked at her suspiciously, Qing Lan was nervous for a while, and her heart was pounding, and then Xiao Qing suddenly grinned: "No matter." It doesn't matter, even if there's something to hide from us, it's better to hide it. Just don't worry about it, anyway, the sky is falling and you are still holding on! ”

"You!" Seeing her lazy look, Qinglan tapped her eyebrows fiercely with her fingers.

Xiaoqing grinned and said, "Actually, we were talking just now, and the books on the market today are really too bad, and it's annoying to look at." There are even some words that do not reach the meaning, I am afraid that they have just learned and have not even entered school, and these people dare to come out and write a script. I'm really not afraid of being embarrassed. ”

There was a wistful expression on her face: "I was thinking, it would be great if the master could write another script." ”

"Sir?" Qing Lan smiled when she heard this: "Don't think about it, my lord is so busy." Where can I find time to write a script? When I first wrote it, I was just trying to make a living when I was down. ”

Xiaoqing smiled: "Speaking of which." The old man and the young lady met, is it because of that white lady? ”

Speaking of which. In my heart, I unconsciously remembered that I had ventilated the message to the young lady and the master, and I didn't do that shameful thing, and my face was red.

Qinglan thought of the book that Lian Zining wrote for herself, as a surprise for the wedding.

That book, she has always treasured, only when she is alone, she secretly takes it out and looks at it over and over again, and there is a secret joy in her heart, which is the sweet feeling that a person is managing these little secrets that belong to him.

A few people were gossiping, and seeing that the sky outside was gradually getting dark, a maid outside asked softly, "Madam, are you going to order dinner?" ”

Qinglan looked at the sky and asked, "It's not early today, let's eat and go back, what do you want to eat?" ”

Xiaoqing said without thinking: "Hit the side stove!" I'm going to eat the sesame sauce from the kitchen, as well as the baby shiitake mushrooms. ”

"Me too!" Kang Ling said excitedly: "I want the old corn boiled in clear soup." ”

Qing Lan sighed helplessly, glanced at Kang Su with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Cheng, then I'll play the side stove today." ”

After saying that, he raised his voice and said: "Tell me to go down, I will use a side stove today, and I will use it here, be careful in the kitchen, and pick up a few ladies who like to eat more." ”

Xiaoqing shouted again: "I also want Gaoyou's salted duck eggs." ”

Qinglan tapped her finger on her head again: "You have a lot of problems." ”

Outside, but after a while, a few maids carried a copper stove up and placed it on the table of the Eight Immortals.

The side stove is naturally a hot pot.

However, at this time, the side stove has not been as prosperous and standardized as in later generations, and Lian Zining still ate it a few times, and felt that it was inconvenient, so he changed it. This copper furnace was specially made by craftsmen, and there was a layer of furnace underneath, and at this moment it was full of charcoal fires, and it was burning red, and there was steaming out.

The pot resembles a Tai Chi pattern, with a zigzag partition in the middle, dividing the pot into two halves, one half is clear soup and the other is flushed, and a strange but enticing aroma wafts out of the pot.

Half of it is spicy soup, half of it is clear soup, and it is also aspect.

Then the four of them sat down, and the maid brought garlic and sesame sauce and other ingredients, and then all kinds of dishes also came up, emerald green mountain vegetables, black mushroom fungus, black and shiny bacon, red sausage, and a few plates of beef and mutton slices cut very thin and fine. There are also green onions, ginger slices and other ingredients, which are very hearty.

There was also a plate full of conspicuous golden corn.

Kang Ling couldn't wait to throw several pieces of corn into the clear soup pot, Kang Su glared at her and said, "Anxious ghost!" ”

The maid used a copper basin with a hot towel to wash her hands, cleaned her face, and then served ginseng soup and rinsed her mouth, which was the beginning.

The maid served a plate of cut cucumber slices, and Qinglan said, "I just picked it from the greenhouse at noon today, and it is refreshing and tight." ”

Xiaoqing couldn't wait to put a slice of salted duck egg into her mouth, bit a mouthful of oil, sighed with satisfaction, and smiled without skin and face.

Kang Ling's eyes stared at the boiled corn.

Qinglan and Kang Su unhurriedly rolled the meat and vegetables in the pot, and then dipped some chaff sauce and garlic into their mouths, whispering a few words from time to time.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then the carved wooden door was pushed open with a bang, and a tall figure appeared at the door, laughing loudly: "What to eat?" Far away, I can smell the fragrance. (To be continued.) )
