The Lian Mansion is full of lights and is festive.

People come and go in the hall, but they are all their own families, in the flower hall, only two tables are placed, this pomp is obviously a lot less than in previous years, some officials who came to the banquet are in the flower hall to greet each other, although the autumn wind is howling outside, the house is warm like spring.

Lian Jing was dressed in new clothes, a group of joy, came to the flower hall early, this person was in good spirits on happy occasions, and he didn't know whether it was for his birthday or for the credit that was about to arrive, he felt that his heart was about to jump from his cavity.

Su Wen, Duolonga, Hu Jinbao, and Morgen came to Lian Mansion early, dressed as guards, but under the red lantern, in the darkness of the night, none of the officials who came noticed them.

"My lord, Kui-sama is here." Menzi walked over and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Kui is here, come with me to meet Lord Kui." Lian Jing smiled, his tone as humble as ever.

The officials talked and laughed and followed behind Lian Jing, and when they came to the door, a small sedan chair happened to stop in front of the door.

Lian Jing walked forward quickly, lifted the sedan curtain himself, and Kuichang, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked out with a smile.

"My lord, the long night is bitterly cold, you can deign to come in person, and you can respect the three generations of a family, please, please come inside." Lian Jing bent over, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of invitation.

Kuichang smiled, "You and I are in the same officialdom, we belong to colleagues, but in terms of affection, we are better than brothers, and today is your fortieth birthday, I will come now," he smiled and took Lian Jing's hand, "Come, bring my gifts." ”

I saw a few guards behind me carrying a wooden long cabinet, as if it was very heavy, everyone looked envious, and they all guessed, some guessed that it was gold and silver, some guessed that it was antiques, and some guessed that it was silk.

Kuichang smiled, "Don't guess anymore, you will see it in a while." ”

Lian Jing also wondered a little in his heart, in the past, Kuichang either sent words or paintings, gold and silver were very rare, and he couldn't figure out what was in it, "My lord, why don't you see Master Shao?" ”

In this Uriya Sutai City, as long as Shao Naiwen does not travel far, it must be Shao who does not leave Kui, and Kui does not leave Shao.

"Oh," Kui Chang said with a smile, "I got a new Rosa concubine last night, I don't know if I was too anxious in the battle, or I ate something that shouldn't be eaten, and I broke my stomach, and now I'm lying in bed, don't worry about him, this wine, he'll come back another day to bother,...... Lao Lian, you don't have anything unclean here, right? Kuichang looked at Lian Jing.

"How can that, isn't that a slap in my own face?" Lian Jing smiled, and while laughing, he introduced Kuichang into the flower hall, he looked behind him, and the long cabinet was also carried in, but it was carried into the flower hall and placed in a corner.

Kuichang slowly walked around the flower hall before sitting down on the main seat, "Sit, sit, everyone sit." ”。

The people who came were all figures with heads and faces in Sutai City, and everyone sat down when they saw Kuichang sitting down.

"This lamp and candle are brilliant, the victory friends are just right, and the house is full of friends," Kuichang looked at everyone, and then looked at the flowers in the flower hall, and said with a smile, "They are all for Lord Lian, but the flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year." ”

"My lord, these people are still here every year, with you as the leader, and we are the only ones who look forward to you." Lian Jing looked at everyone, and everyone immediately responded.

Kuichang looked at Lian Jing, "I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together, this is full of red, red candles are shaking, and people are still the same." He seemed a little sentimental, but then laughed again, "Lord Lian said, what we are serving today is a hundred chicken feast, and there are boiled dumplings with chicken tongue filling, Lao Lian, I am a rare scene, so let's see it." ”

"Gotta serve it." Lian Jing hurriedly stood up, and the little servant behind him passed the message.

This 100 chicken feast, but not a hundred chickens, one for everyone, but with chickens as raw materials, to make a hundred dishes, but it is nothing more than different ingredients and side dishes, and it is also inseparable from stewing, frying, simmering, frying and cooking eight fancy.

The eyes of the audience were attracted by the horses at this time, Yin Tang and Zhang Fengzao smiled and climbed on the high platform, not many people paid attention, and the hundreds of Mongolian princes sitting there also stared excitedly at their favorite foals, and some actually stood up excitedly, shouting their warriors.

"Your Majesty," Yin Tang and Zhang Fengzao saluted, and handed the fold to Emperor Xuanguang, "This is the excerpt of Kuichang, the general of Uriya Sutai, saying that Ming Antu colluded with the Russians and wanted to do wrongdoing, and has been imprisoned by the general. ”

"I see." Emperor Xuanguang had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were still fixed on the galloping horses in the distance, "Kuichang, you are testing me,...... Ordered Bian General Zhaohui, Ili General Mingrui, Heilongjiang General Wu Zabu, and Suiyuan General 85 soldiers and horses to prepare for emergencies. ”

"Yes." The two agreed, Xuanguang looked at the Queen Mother, and seeing that she was also immersed in the horse, Fang continued, "This morning, I came to report from the sticky pole that all the guards at the sticky pole who entered Uriya Sutai City were martyred,...... Their heads...... Hang outside the Kuichang line. ”

Yin Tang and Zhang Fengzao glanced at each other, both of them were a little surprised, seeing that Xuanguang's face still did not change, and his attitude was calm, both of them secretly screamed ashamed.

Xuanguang immediately guessed the thoughts of the two, because he said with a smile, "Uncle and the auxiliary ministers are also for the sake of the country, we are here in Mongolia, one is the queen mother's relatives, the second is to make peace with Mongolia, and the third is to deal with Kuichang, in your hearts, Kuichang is the most important, but caring is chaos, in fact, in my heart, the queen mother's relatives are the most important." ”

He looked at Yintang with a smile, and the others didn't know, but they saw that the three of them were full of smiles on their faces, but they were laughing, but they were talking about military affairs.

"I remember that when I first ascended the throne, the army that went south to quell the rebellion was surrounded in Yongxing, and there was no information available, and I was very anxious, so that I am now resigned. Uncle, do you remember? What you left to say to me after the Council of Ministers is still fresh in my memory. Xuanguang looked at Yintang, "You said, the emperor, you have a worried face, the emperor tried to think about it, my Dajin Dynasty Manchurian soldiers will have 500 people, who can resist?" In two or three days, Yongxing will have good news! Taizu Taizong never frowned before the military service, and if the emperor was so sad because of the Yongxing military, he would be less cowardly than his ancestors. Three days later, Yongxing really won a big victory. ”

The words of eighteen years ago are still remembered so clearly, and Yin Tang became excited, "Your Majesty, at that time, the minister was reckless......

Emperor Xuanguang waved his hand, "Uncle is a sincere person, and his knowledge is also above the kings." He smiled and said, "I have written this matter in the "Teaching of the Son Court," seeing Yin Tang Yu Fa excited, Xuanguang smiled, "Future generations should take this as a training." He looked at Zhang Fengzao again, "The auxiliary minister is also concerned about the chaos today, didn't you also say it in the fold, 'When mortals have nothing to do, they often take precautions if something happens, then naturally nothing happens.'" If there is something to do, but if there is nothing to do, so as to determine the concern, then the matter will naturally disappear. ’”

"The minister said it." Zhang Fengzao was also excited, "It's rare for the emperor to be thousands of Chenhan, remember it so clearly." ”

"This is all a wise saying, the heart is small and the courage is big, Kuichang's affairs, don't worry too much, the study has been deployed, but, this puss is not squeezed or broken, I see, it is not yet time to use the army," his eyes swept over the thousands of horses, "Kuichang's courage is not worthy of the army, perhaps, one or two people are enough to sweep Uriya Sutai!" ”

"Look at the lasso!" Emperor Xuanguang smiled, stretching out his finger and pointing ahead.

In the distance, thousands of horses galloped on the grassland, and the Mongolian warriors and a cadre of guards shouted loudly behind them, chasing them, the dust was flying, the shouts shook the sky, and the onlookers were also crazy and happy.

"Well, this chef is good, the food that Lord Lian served us today is really unique, and it makes people taste good," Kuichang smiled and raised his glass, "Come on, let's raise a glass together to celebrate Lord Lian's forty-fourth birthday!" ”

Everyone smiled and raised their glasses together, only to hear a "squeak" sound in the flower hall, and they all drank it all.

"Cook the dumplings!" Lian Jing drank so much that his face was red, and he waved his hand excitedly.

A plate of steaming dumplings was served in front of Kuichang, which was stuffed with the tongues of five hundred chickens, which could be described as extremely extravagant, "You taste it." Lian Jing said with a smile.

Kuichang smiled and picked one up, "Okay, well, yes, this taste, I only know after tasting it, come, let's raise the chopsticks together, let's all come and taste it, taste it." ”

"My lord, Mrs. Backyard is not feeling well, so let you go over." A small guy leaned over and said in Lian Jing's ear.

Lian Jing's family members are all in Beijing, and only one aunt and wife accompanied him to Uriya Sutai to take office.

"Don't you see I'm talking to an adult?" Lian Jing reprimanded.

"Go, go," Kuichang said with a smile, "People eat grains, who doesn't have a lot of calamities, as long as their hearts can't be broken." ”

Lian Jing had already heard the smell inside, he looked at Kuichang, and then looked at everyone, and there was no abnormality, thinking, this is in his own house, the ambush has been buried, but this Kuichang came alone, and he didn't expect anything wrong, so he smiled, shouted to confess, and went out and gently closed the door.

He was standing outside the door, but he heard Kui Chang laugh inside, "Come, borrow this glass of wine from Lord Lian, I respect you......"

Uriya Sutai City, Guandi Temple.

In the dark night and wind, the torches are bright, the figures are building, and the horses are neighing, and the temple of Emperor Guan is already surrounded.

"Keep an eye on me, don't let anyone go," Shao Naiwen rode on a horse, majestic, the wind blew the torches, the light and shadow danced, and the Guandi Temple was as bright as day.

In the Guandi Temple, the officials of Qin Tianjian were already in a mess, panicked, "My lord, my lord, how can this be good?" ”

The officials of Qin Tianjian are all Beijing officials, and they have never known the complexity of the place, and they are all civil officials.

Ming Antu calmed down and waved his hand, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, go, go out and have a look." ”

Under the torch, Shao Naiwen was silent, and when he saw Ming Antu calmly appearing in front of the door, he still arched his hand on the horse.

"Master Shao, what are you doing here?" Ming Antu is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Lord Ming, according to the order of Lord Kuichang, the deputy general of the left side of the country, Qin Tianjian came to investigate that there were rebels hidden among the officials, and they need to be brought back to the yamen for interrogation one by one."

"Bandits?" Ming Antu looked at a group of colleagues behind him, "Plotting rebellion and committing rebellion, harassing the people is a bandit, may I ask which article and which paragraph did I commit for this crime of rebellion?" ”

Shao Naiwen couldn't imagine that Ming Antu introduced a Mongolian man, not only fluent in Chinese, but also clear in thinking, he couldn't help but be speechless, and then became angry, "You colluded with the Russians, in the name of surveying the border, betrayed the enemy, betrayed the country, lost my land, come, arrest me." ”

Swords and guns were staggered, and the blades were chaotic, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and grabbed Ming Antu, "Search, search for me, I must find evidence of their crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!" Shao Naiwen waved his horsewhip, his spirit was high, and his beard trembled.

Ming Antu and the rest of the Qin Tianjian officials were tied up in one place, and the soldiers of the general's line rummaged through the cabinets, and the temple of Emperor Guan was in a mess in an instant.

"Master Shao, there is no correspondence with Jingshi." An official came forward to report.

"Master Shao, in the back," Yiguan Zuo stepped forward with a smile, "and found two women." ”

Under the torches, two women were taken to the open space in front of the temple, one was plump, the other was weak, Shao Naiwen exclaimed, "Grandma, Miss, why are you here?" ”

Sister Yu'er and Liu Ruyan looked at Shao Naiwen, and then at the soldiers with knives and guns around them, and couldn't help but burst into tears, "It's Su Wen, it's him, who put us under house arrest here." ”

Sister Yu'er looked at Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan looked around, but she couldn't see Su Wen's figure, but she couldn't see that in the shadows, the eyes of several people were flashing with fire, and they were looking intently here, one of them was the person she thought about day and night.

"Su Wen? He can't run away either," Shao Naiwen said with a smile, Sister Yu'er's face was stunned, and Liu Ruyan's heart sank.

"You'll know later, this time, maybe you've already started to do it, and this sticky rod and those who oppose Lord Kui will be uprooted tonight!" Shao Naiwen said fiercely, he looked at Sister Yu'er, "Grandma, these days, Lord Kui is looking for you everywhere, now it's okay, I have no intention of inserting willows and willows, it doesn't take any effort to find it, go," Shao Naiwen said proudly, "Follow me to Lian Mansion!" ”

"What, Lord Lian? ......," Sister Yu'er exclaimed.

"He is a spy of the imperial court," Shao Naiwen gritted his teeth and said, "Tonight is his birthday, but this time next year will be his taboo day." ”

The group was about to set off, and another soldier came on horseback, "Report, Master Shao, Jiang Guangnai has been taken!" ”

"Okay, take Jiang Guangnai and Ming Antu to Lian Mansion together."

Lian Mansion, Flower Hall.

The staggered plans, the conversation and laughter are lively, the cups come and go, and it is lively.

Kuichang sat firmly, from time to time officials came to toast, he also did not refuse to come, knowing to drink, sometimes have to return a cup, everyone saw him so easy-going, the atmosphere was even more lively.

"Bang-"

The door of the flower hall was pushed open, and a cold wind rushed in, blowing the candles on the table and swaying, which was eerie.
