readx; Chengdu was besieged, and Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, was overjoyed, and really personally invited Li Dingguo to participate in the celebration banquet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoDue to the dignity of the other party's status and the fact that Qin Liangyu entrusted him to borrow grain, Li Dingguo had no choice but to attend.

The celebration banquet was not held in the palace, but in the most famous restaurant in Chengdu, Wangjiang Tower. This Wangjiang Tower is located in the west of Chengdu City, four floors high, the top layer can look at the Jinjiang River outside the city through the city wall, hence the name. Moreover, this Wangjiang Tower is also the industry of the Shu Prince's Mansion, and it can also bring at least 100,000 taels of income every year.

In addition to Zhu Zhishu, there were also Liu Hanru, the governor of Sichuan, Zhu Xieyuan, the prefect of Chengdu, as well as officials of all sizes and wealthy gentry with heads and faces, as many as forty or fifty people. On the contrary, the Qin soldiers and white pole soldiers, who were the greatest contributors to the siege, only Li Dingguo and Qin Liangyu could sit in the chief, and important generals such as Ma Qianxue and Jin Tongwu could only sit in the corner of the hall, and the rest of the soldiers were not even qualified to participate.

The banquet banquet is also extremely rich, there are countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the wine is served on the altar. Without the threat of the rebels, the officials and rich gentry can be regarded as putting their hearts in their stomachs, pushing cups and changing lamps one by one, and drinking happily; Ma Qianxue, Jin Tongwu and the others thought that the soldiers had just fought a bloody battle, the bodies of the dead had not yet had time to be buried, many of the wounded were still suffering greatly, and even the accommodation of the Qin soldiers had not yet been arranged, so no one could drink this wine.

And what worries them the most is undoubtedly food. Although a lot of grain was seized from the rebel camp, Chengdu is the largest city in the southwest, with a population of more than one million, and the city has been besieged for so long that many people's homes have run out of food. If the seized grain is not distributed to the people, it is equivalent to watching the people starve to death, no one can do this kind of thing, whether it is Qin Liangyu or Li Dingguo; But if it is distributed to the people, not to mention a drop in the bucket, what will the Qin soldiers and the white pole soldiers eat?

But whether it is Zhu Zhishu or Liu Hanru, they don't seem to take this important matter to heart at all, they just blindly drink and have fun. After all, Qin Liangyu and Li Dingguo are military generals, and according to the rules of "using literature to control martial arts", they are not qualified to speak at the banquet, so they have to listen patiently to the high-minded talk of everyone at the banquet, and then find an opportunity to bring up the topic of food.

The wine was half-drunk, Zhu Zhishu ate very much, and he was even more gushing, spitting stars flying all over the table. He held a full wine glass and hiccuped: "The rebels came to attack Chengdu this time, firstly, because of the lives of the soldiers, and secondly, Chengdu is a treasure land of Zhong Lingyuxiu and outstanding people, and it is blessed by gods and Buddhas and cannot be destroyed by the rebels." As early as the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, the ancient Shu Kingdom moved the capital here, one year into a gathering, two years into a city, three years into Chengdu, the word 'Chengdu' came from this.

Later, the Shu Han, the former Shu, and the Later Shu dynasties built their capitals here, especially the Later Shu lord Meng Chang, who built Chengdu into a cluster of flowers. This dynasty since the first offering of the king was the Taizu Emperor divided here, after ten generations to this king, Chengdu is more lush, the market is prosperous. People say 'there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below', but this king thinks that the person who said this must not have been to Chengdu, hahahaha! ”

Everyone at the banquet roared and slapped Zhu Zhishu's ass vigorously. Qin Liangyu and Li Dingguo were secretly anxious. I thought we didn't have time to listen to you drop your book bag here, and the soldiers and people were still waiting to be fed!

However, Zhu Xieyuan, the prefect of Chengdu, saw through the thoughts of the two, and coughed lightly: "What His Highness said is very true, the ancient city of Chengdu has gone through thousands of years, during which it has changed dynasties many times, but it has never been destroyed by war. Only this time the rebels besieged the city, although Chengdu itself was safe and sound, but the surrounding prefectures and counties were looted, and the refugees were displaced, which was very pitiful. Even the people of the city, there are many who are out of cooking. ”

Seeing that Zhu Xieyuan skillfully led the topic over, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but cast a grateful look at him, and said sincerely: "What Master Zhu said is right. Now that the rebels are gone, the food gap in the city is too great, I wonder if you have a good plan? ”

In fact, the meaning of her words is very clear, that is, she hopes that the king of Shu can take the lead, and other officials will also set an example, whether it is donating or borrowing, in short, as long as you take out a little food, you can solve the urgent need.

When it came to food, everyone at the table either pretended to be stupid, or talked about him left and right, and no one took it after that. Liu Hanru, the governor of Sichuan, is the chief official of the province, and he can't say anything if he wants to pretend to be stupid, but he also said casually: "The shortage of food is caused by the rebels, and it is almost a natural disaster, and there is really no good way." According to the official's opinion, he had no choice but to play the Ming court and ask the household department to allocate food and salary. ”

Qin Liangyu almost got angry when he heard this, thinking that if he went to the imperial court, not to mention whether the household department had food or salary to be allocated, how much time would it take to go on the road just this time and back? I'm afraid that before the food arrives, the people in the city will starve to death in large numbers! Dare to love this Liu Hanru is a push 625, putting all the responsibility on the rebels, and he doesn't care about the hunger of the soldiers and civilians in the city, only here is a good place!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Qin Liangyu once again begged Zhu Zhishu bluntly: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, you are a vassal king, and now the soldiers and civilians in the city are in trouble, please ask Your Highness to borrow tens of thousands of stone grain for the time being..."

Zhu Zhishu shook his head like a rattle and said, "Mrs. Qin, you don't know something, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" Although this king looks at the scenery, there are so many people in the palace and the king's village everywhere, and the people eat and feed the horses, where do they not want grain and silver? Although there is some food stored in the house now, it is used by this king for emergency relief, and this king can't go hungry to help the people, right? On the matter of grain, the two generals discussed with Governor Liu and Governor Zhu in the long run, and the king strictly adhered to the ancestral system and did not participate in court politics. Tonight is a celebration feast, and don't think about these troublesome things, come and come, pick up the wine in the cup, and then talk about it! ”

Everyone was raising their glasses and drinking again, and suddenly there was a snap, and someone threw the wine glass on the ground and smashed it!

The banquet suddenly fell silent, and when everyone looked in surprise, they saw a heroic girl standing on the seat in the corner, with willow eyebrows upside down, and screamed: "The soldiers and the common people are still hungry, I can't drink this wine!" ”

Qin Liangyu saw that it was his daughter Ma Qianxue, and he was about to reprimand, but Zhu Zhishu squinted his drunken eyes and looked Ma Qianxue up and down, and laughed loudly.

Qin Liangyu hurriedly pleaded guilty to the King of Shu and wanted to drive Ma Qianxue out. Zhu Zhishu said: "No, no, it turned out to be Mrs. Qin's daughter, what is there to drop a cup?" Come on, quickly change the wine glass for the horse girl for this king, everyone continues to drink, and don't get drunk today! ”

Qin Liangyu saw that the King of Shu was not to blame, and he was just relieved, but he saw Zhu Zhishu and Liu Hanru biting their ears for a while, and then went out of the room.

Liu Hanru turned to Qin Liangyu, and said with a smile on his face: "Mrs. Qin, you are double happy today!" His Royal Highness said that he loves Ling Qianjin very much! ”
