, today's first more delivered! , Ganghwa Island, Bomun Temple.

The usually deserted Pumen Temple has become lively. The entrance is full of gorgeously dressed palace maids, with fluttering clothes, like a fairyland. The gorgeous red carpet stretched out from the doorway to the innermost part of the hall. Before evening, a large crowd had already gathered. The two classes of nobles of the Joseon Kingdom, except for the surrender faction, are basically here.

Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin also stood at the door, constantly talking to the two classes of Korean nobles around them. The two of them are the main persons in charge of the Tiger Ben Army in North Korea, and the two classes of nobles in North Korea naturally have to curry favor with the two. In particular, the original neutral faction in North Korea, including Dr. Kim Zidian of Chonglu of Da Kuang Fuguo and Dr. Kang Mun-young of Chonglu, were all talking enthusiastically with the two in order to win their favor as much as possible.

Such a scene made Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin very emotional. Of course, they know that what the Koreans value is not their Ming background, but their Tiger Army background. Indeed, a few decades ago, the Ming Kingdom did give North Korea a great boost. However, the current Ming state, which has declined, can no longer help Korea against the aggression of the Tatars.

Fortunately, a tiger army appeared in the sky and took over the burden of the Ming Kingdom. Otherwise, at this moment, it is very likely that the North Koreans will welcome the Tartars. Between countries, there is only a relationship of interests, and there can be no permanent friendship, and this is understood by all. If the Ming were unable to provide sufficient protection to Korea, they would have to choose another suzerain.

Every time I think of this, the mood of the two "can't help but feel a little heavy." The court, the court, don't fight! The Tiger Ben Army only has one province, and it is all prosperous, and the Tartars have suffered a lot. The imperial court also owns half of the world, with more than seventy percent of the population and resources, but it is far inferior to the Tiger Army.

What is the mystery in this? Perhaps, the imperial court is really no longer good? Do you really need a change of dynasty?

In the evening, Zhang Zhun came to Pumen Temple accompanied by Li Zong and Li Hao, the crown prince of the Korean Kingdom. His appearance "immediately pushed the atmosphere of the scene to **. The palace maids around Pumen Temple all sang and danced to welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival. There are also a large number of musicians playing live, and the authentic silk and bamboo music is endless.

Jin Zidian, Jiang Wenying and others hurriedly brought two classes of nobles up to salute. Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Tinglin and others also came up to salute. Compared with the last time Zhang Zhun arrived, "The North Korean side can be said to be much more sincere." The general trend of the Tartars has gone, and from now on, it will be the world of the Tiger Army, and of course they dare not slack off on Zhang Zhun.

"Hello everyone!"

"Hello everyone!"

"Hello everyone!"

In the face of everyone's gifts, Zhang Zhun kept smiling and returning the salute.

Without the North Korean capitulation faction, "everything seems very harmonious." Regardless of whether the other party is sincere and sincere, anyway, all Zhang Zhun sees is a smiling face. Well, to be exact, except for a person's face.

This person is Lu Xiangsheng. From beginning to end" Lu Xiangsheng has never had a smile on his face, it seems that his unsmiling character cannot be changed in this life. But it's okay this way" What Zhang Zhun needs is someone who can do things, not someone who only knows how to lose a smile.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Zhun entered the banquet hall of Pumen Temple. The main table of the banquet is specially designed to seat 36 people. Basically, the heads and faces of both sides can sit at the main table. Naturally, according to the arrangement of the North Korean side, the two people sitting at the top were Zhang Zhun and Li Zong.

"Queen Mother, please take a seat!"

Zhang Zhun glanced at the seating arrangement and said indifferently.

Before Zhang Zhun arrived, the queen of Joseon had already accompanied Empress Zhang Yan of Yi'an. However, the positions of the two of them are on the left side of the Korean king Li Zong, Zhang Yan is at the top, and the queen of the Joseon is at the bottom. According to the order of seats, Zhang Yan was obviously ranked below Zhang Zhun and became the number two person in the Ming Kingdom.

Zhang Yan knew the reason for the arrangement of the seats this way, and did not protest or anything like that. What the Koreans value is only Zhang Zhun and his tiger army, she, the former queen of the Ming Kingdom, is just a beautiful huā bottle. Fortunately, Yang Yinghan didn't come, otherwise, she would have become the third person in the Ming Kingdom.

"It's good to sit here."

Regarding Zhang Zhun's invitation, Zhang Yan did not buy it.

Someone else has put me behind you in front of the North Korean side, so why should you ask me to take a seat with hypocrisy? Everyone's mind, you still don't know?

"Who assigned the seats? Mess around! ”

Zhang Zhun lowered his face and said with a cold frown.

The entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Li Zong and Li Hao's faces were a little stiff, what is Zhang Zhun going to do? The seats were arranged by the two of them, could it be that this arrangement is wrong? The other personnel on the North Korean side looked at each other even more, not knowing what Zhang Zhun was going to do.

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "Okay, don't be angry, the palace will take a seat and leave." ”

She didn't expect that Zhang Zhun would get angry on the spot. As soon as Zhang Zhun was so angry, she Zhang Yan was a little, and she was not a person inside and out. Regardless of whether Zhang Zhun is making a fuss or not, if she refuses to take a seat, the North Korean side will be uncomfortable. The North Korean side is uncomfortable, and she, the Empress Yi'an of the Ming Kingdom, is afraid that she is going to offend people.

"Please!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand.

Zhang Yan stood up and sat in the position of the Ming Kingdom. Below her, it is Zhang Zhun. When everyone saw Zhang Yan taking a seat, they were a little relieved. If there is any trouble at such a banquet, it will be meaningless.

Of course, some people disagreed with Zhang Zhun's reaction. You are a rebel, the fundamental purpose is to overthrow the court of the Ming Kingdom, but you want to pretend to be hypocritical, isn't this taking us as fools? It's a pity that such words can't be exported, even Li Zong doesn't dare to say it.

Zhang Zhuncai didn't care what others thought, anyway, he felt that on such an occasion, Zhang Yan should sit on top of him. As for whether he was hypocritical and righteous, he didn't care at all. I am a hypocrisy, and I am a hypocrite: "What can you do with me?" After sitting down, "Zhang Zhun admired the tableware in front of him with interest.

On the dining table, the bone china that is being produced is placed. Needless to say, these bone china tableware "were all brought by Zhang Yan by the way, ready to be officially promoted to the world." After several improvements in the Dewangfu, the quality of bone china has been quite good, compared with a general ceramic tableware, it is indeed a lot more high-end.

It is said that most of the tableware used by Emperor Chongzhen was green huā porcelain. Qinghuā porcelain is indeed beautiful" has a great ornamental value, but if it is simply used to make tableware, I am afraid it is not as good as bone china, bone china is the best material for tableware!

"What do you think of these new porcelain?"

After Zhang Zhun sat down, he said casually.

"It's beautiful!"

The queen of Joseon said in admiration.

Thank you! ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile.

At this time, the Korean kingdom Daekang Fuguo Chonglu Dafu Doctor Kim began to give a welcome speech. This guy is Li Zong's confidant" and has always been a neutral. Well, to be precise, the wall-riding faction. This time, he gave a welcome speech, which showed that Li Zong had completely fallen to the Ming Kingdom.

Although Li Zong's choice was a bit late, when Zhang Zhun arrived last time, "he was still hesitant, but he was able to choose his position wisely before the Tartars perished, and he was still aware of current affairs." If he was still hesitant at this time, I was afraid that Zhang Zhun would not be so easy to speak.

Jin Zidian's welcome speech fully praised the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army and praised the achievements of the Tiger Ben Army in defeating Huang Taiji in Beizhili, "fully affirming the support of the Tiger Ben Army to the Korean Kingdom, and also clearly expressing the support of the Korean Kingdom to the Tiger Ben Army." The welcome message clearly mentions that "the Kingdom of Korea will give unconditional support to the Tiger Army."

Of course, considering the relationship between Zhang Yan and Lu Xiangsheng, Jin Zidian also praised the Ming court and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming State in his welcome speech, and praised them for not giving in to the pressure of the Tartars, and went forward to fight one after another.

This is not a fabrication out of thin air, no matter how incompetent Emperor Chongzhen is, he has indeed never given in to the Tartars. You can say that Emperor Chongzhen is incompetent, credulous, mean, and self-serving, but you must not say that he is spineless.

It's just that Zhang Yan and Lu Xiangsheng's looks are a little not good. That's for sure. Zhang Yan felt that the imperial family of the Ming Kingdom was getting weaker and weaker, and it was no longer able to control the general trend of the world, and its influence on the Korean Kingdom was almost minimal.

Lu Xiangsheng's emotion stems from his sensitivity to military strength.

If Zhang Zhun's Tiger Army was not stationed in Korea and directly confronted the Tartars, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Korea would never have taken refuge in the Ming Kingdom. Well, to be precise, the object of the Korean Kingdom is Zhang Zhun's Tiger Army, not the Ming court, which is very article-like.

However, no matter how many articles there are, it has nothing to do with him Lu Xiangsheng. Whether it is Emperor Chongzhen or the imperial court, it is already getting farther and farther away from him. What he can do now is to eliminate the Tartars as soon as possible, recover Liaodong, and pacify the world.

"Lord Governor, please!"

"Your Majesty, please!"

After the welcome speech, the banquet officially began.

For a banquet of this level, the dishes are naturally the richest, and the Koreans have been preparing for this for a long time, as long as they can get rare ingredients, they have brought them. However, at such a banquet, the dishes are simply secondary, and how many of the guests who can attend such an occasion will really care about the taste of the dishes?

Zhang Zhun looked around, but he still didn't see Fengpingjun Li Jue, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, this guy, what is so urgent that he was even absent from the dinner? On the North Korean side, what kind of fugitive did he get away with, and he actually needed Fengpingjun Li Jue to arrest him personally?

Zhang Yan suddenly asked, "Zhang Zhun, what are you looking at?" ”

Zhang Zhun said casually: "What about Fengpingjun Li Jue? ”

Zhang Yan's expression, a little weird, flashed away, and said in disguise: "He went on errands." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and didn't say anything.

Zhang Yan was a little curious, and said in a low voice: "You don't want to know something?" ”

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "It's related to me."

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "This matter is indeed related to you." ”

Zhang Zhun was about to speak, when he suddenly saw someone coming in in a hurry outside the hall, and it was Fengpingjun Li Jue. Li Jue may indeed be dealing with something, and he is in a hurry, "His face is not very good, it seems that the matter has not been done." Zhang Zhun couldn't help but be a little suspicious, this Li Jue, "What are you busy with?" Can you die if you sit down and drink a glass of wine Ping Pong Li Jue bowed apologetically to Zhang Zhun from afar, and then came to Li Zong's side and whispered something. Li Zong's face was a little unhappy, but fortunately, after a while, he returned to normal. Then, Li Jue leaned to Li Hao's ear again, "whispered something." As a result, Li Hao's expression was not very good. He stood up, as if he was going out to do something in person, but was stopped by Li Jue.

Zhang Zhun wondered in his heart, looked up at Li Jue, and asked casually, "Li Jue, what are you busy with?" Why not sit down and have a drink? ”

Li Jue said a little helplessly: "Lord Dudu" I'm sorry, my business hasn't been done yet. Alas, it's all my fault for my incompetence, I can't drink this glass of wine! When I'm done with this, I'll come to the door and apologize. When the time comes, "No matter how much the Governor wants me to drink, I will never say anything." ”

Zhang Zhun said a little strangely: "What are you doing wrong?" ”

Li Hao hurriedly interjected and said, "Brother, I was going to give you a gift, but I lost it, and my uncle is helping me find it." As a result, until now "it has not been found." ”

Zhang Zhun said in surprise: "Someone stole it? ”

Li Hao's expression was a little weird, a little dazed, and a little helpless: "Sort of!" The "result, result" that was supposed to be good suddenly disappeared. ”

Zhang Zhun smiled casually and said disapprerovingly: "What do you think is the matter, if you lose it, you will lose it, what's the big deal." Come, Li Jue, come and drink! ”

Li Jue looked at King Li Zong, and then at Li Hao, smiled helplessly and apologetically, and said bitterly: "Lord Dudu, if I don't find this gift, I, Li Jue, really don't have the heart to drink." I swear that even if I turn over every inch of North Korea, I will definitely turn this "...... This gift is found! ”

Zhang Zhun frowned and glanced at Li Jue, then at Li Zong and Li Hao, and asked suspiciously, "What kind of gift is so valuable?" Do you want to find it yourself? ”

Li Jue smiled reluctantly, and said bitterly: "This is a mysterious gift that the prince wants to give to Lord Dudu, originally to give Lord Dudu a surprise, but alas, I was not able to do anything, and I accidentally let her run away!" ”

After Zhang Zhun listened, he was still confused. Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan glanced at Zhang Zhun and seemed to interject. The queen of Joseon hurriedly said: "Sister Empress, this is our special product of North Korea, Yufeng Pill, can you taste .........it?"

Zhang Yan had no choice but to turn around and express her gratitude to the Queen of Joseon, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say to Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun happened to see this scene and thought, it's really strange. The North Koreans seem to be hiding something! Looking at Zhang Yan's meaning, it seems that she knows the inside story, but she doesn't have a chance to say it. Odd. Isn't it just a gift? How do you make it look mysterious?

Turning his head to look, Li Hao still looked a little unwilling, and whispered to Li Jue what he was saying. Feng Pingjun lowered his head and kept talking to Li Hao. Judging by the way he looks, if he doesn't find this gift, he will definitely not give up. Zhang Zhun couldn't help but wonder even more, is it worth making such a big move for a gift?

A moment later, Li Jue really went out again. It seems that his resentment for the lost gift is really deep, and if he can't find it, I'm afraid he won't come to see Zhang Zhun. The banquet was held in such a slightly strange atmosphere, and gradually, Zhang Zhun forgot about it.

After all, a gift or something, Zhang Zhun can't take it to heart all the time. Li Hao's gift will not be particularly special if you think about it. Since Li Jue went crazy to look for it, let him find it. When I found it, I naturally saw it.

After the banquet, Li Hao, on behalf of Li Zong, sent Zhang Zhun back to Chuandeng Temple. When he said goodbye, Li Hao said with a serious expression: "Brother, I will definitely find that gift and send it to you with my own hands." That's what I said, and I can't break my word.

Zhang Zhun smiled and said disappreciatively: "Okay! I wait for your good news! ”

Li Hao clenched his fists vigorously to express his determination, and then turned around. Looking at his back, Zhang Zhun quietly shook his head. This little guy, for a small gift, turned Fengpingjun Li Juezhi around, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. Fengpingjun Li Jue is also really, at this time, he is still playing with a child.

Liu Mang suddenly came in and reported: "Lord Dudu" Empress Yi'an is here. ”

Zhang Zhun said a little puzzled: "Why is she here?" Please! ”

He looked at the sky and "saw that it was already dark." Zhang Yan is coming at this time, what is she going to do? She was the empress of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and she came to visit a man at night "how weird she looked." Fortunately, Zhang Zhun is responsible, if he changes to another person, he may have to refuse. The power of crazy words is sometimes very strong.

A moment later, Zhang Yan came in. She was accompanied by four palace maids. It seems that she is also concerned about her reputation, "That's why she brought so many palace maids in." Well, that's fine, so that there aren't any rumors out there. Zhang Zhun is not afraid of others saying that he is lustful, and he is not afraid of others saying that he is ridiculous, but if others say that he robbed someone else's wife, he can't stand it, let alone rob the wife of the ghost Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Zhang Zhun said straight to the point: "What happened when the queen arrived?" ”

Zhang Yan smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "The gift that the North Koreans were going to give you is suddenly gone, don't you care?" ”

Zhang Zhun said casually: "I'm indeed a little curious. However, since the North Koreans are looking for it, "they should find it soon." Where can a gift fly? ”

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "I have seen this gift, and it is really a good gift." However, there may be a little difference between him and the gift you imagined. This gift "will run away on its own." ”

Zhang Zhun said suspiciously: "What does the queen mean?" ”

Zhang Yan had a sly look on her face, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for North Koreans to give you this gift!" At the beginning, Huang Taiji sent someone to ask for "the North Korean side refused to give it before, but it was given to you", you really have face. However, alas, you are not blessed, and the gift ran away by itself! ”

With that, he turned around and went.

Zhang Zhun frowned, and was about to say something, but Zhang Yan had already gone. Looking at Zhang Yan's back, Zhang Zhun's brows almost wrinkled into a Sichuan character. Isn't it just a gift? Need such a fuss?

"Someone!"

Zhang Zhun suddenly said in his ear.

"My lord, what do you command?" Brother Wei hurriedly came in.

"Call Lu Xiangsheng!"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

Li Jue's pursuit of the fugitive will definitely be reported to Lu Xiangsheng, otherwise, it is impossible for Lu Xiangsheng not to be vigilant in the military transfer. Since Li Jue told Lu Xiangsheng, he may be able to get some information from Lu Xiangsheng.

"Lord Governor, are you looking for me?"

A moment later, Lu Xiangsheng arrived.

"Lu Xiangsheng, let me ask you, what fugitive is Li Jue looking for?"

Zhang Zhun asked bluntly.

"Lord Governor, I don't know about this."

Lu Xiangsheng replied solemnly.

"You don't know"

Zhang Zhuncai will not believe his answer.

"Lord Governor, Li Jue did inform me that he was going to track down a fugitive. However, he did not use any army, he led his own family, as well as the families of Li Zong, Li Hao, Fenglin Dajun, and Linping Dajun. To be exact, it's all their immediate family members and the like. Since he didn't use the army, I didn't stop it, and I didn't dig wells too much."

Lu Xiangsheng replied with his head held high.

"Li Jue didn't use the army?"

Zhang Zhun was obviously a little unconvinced.

Isn't it a joke to hunt down fugitives without using the army?

"Lord Governor, you can personally send someone to investigate. All the members of the Korean Praetorian Guard are in their respective posts, and there have been no cases of leaving their posts, which I have repeatedly confirmed. ”

Lu Xiangsheng replied stiffly.

"Good!"

Zhang Zhun had no choice but to believe it.

You can suspect that Lu Xiangsheng may still have a connection with the imperial court, and there is still no love left, but you must not doubt Lu Xiangsheng's ability to do things. Since he said that there was no change in the North Korean army, that is, there was no change in the army. Since there was no change in the army, Lu Xiangsheng was naturally relieved. Except for the army, who can cause harm to Zhang Zhun?

"You go back!"

"If there's anything special, feel free to report it to me."

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and asked Lu Xiangsheng to go back.

Lu Xiangsheng turned around and left.

Zhang Zhun stood in place for a moment, and then began to pace slowly. Li Jue, a bastard, actually led a group of royal nobles to hunt down fugitives, is this a game of playing housework? Hunting down fugitives and not using the army, such a lie can be told.

After a moment, Zhang Zhun shook his head lightly and smiled self-deprecatingly. Forget it, other North Koreans are nervous about fugitives, what am I nervous about? Blowing a pool of spring water, what's the matter? When the "Answer" case is revealed, the mystery will be solved! ~！
