Chapter 44: Banquet for Guests
Princess Zhu Yujiao of Changping made an opening remark.
Zhou Xian took the opportunity to say to the few people present: "Today, all of you are the humerus of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will become more and more perfect in the future, Zhou Mou is here to thank you for your support."
Zhou Xianyan said this, and took the lead in getting up and toasting a few people.
This move can be regarded as a great courtesy to everyone.
Several ministers were immediately flattered, and hurriedly stood up, raised their glasses, and said, "Thank you, Master Ma, Chitose Horse, Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"You don't have to be polite, I'll have a good drink today."
"Good!"
「……」
After a period of staggering.
Zhou Xian was already a little drunk.
In fact, it is this hazy effect that he wants.
So Zhou Xian began to get down to business.
"Sun Aiqing, the Hongyi cannon in Beijing City, I'm giving it to you."
"From now on, I will give you as much as you want."
"I used Xu Rongbing to cast cannons for the border army."
Zhou Xian's words completely touched Sun Chengzong's heart.
He is currently racking his brains to think about how to strengthen the defense level of Ji Town.
Unexpectedly, at such a difficult time, Xu Rongbing was reused by the horse master.
Then he will have no worries about the transfer of military supplies at all!
Worried that Xu Rongbing was under pressure, Zhou Xian persuaded him: "Xu Aiqing, you don't need to think about anything else here, you just invent and create, just keep improving. I'll give you all the money."
As soon as Xu Rongbing was obedient, he was naturally happy to enjoy it.
In the past, he was worried that the people in charge would think he was spending money indiscriminately.
I didn't expect the horse master to be more atmospheric than anyone else.
Therefore, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Although Chitose Lord can rest assured, the lower officials will definitely do their best."
Zhou Xian said again: "Okay, after the banquet, you can rest assured and do it boldly."
"Chitose Sema."
Zhou Xian said again: "Also, the Imperial Court's Armaments Division, does the Firearms Division need to expand its scale?"
This is the core factory area of Daming to deal with the dilemma, so Zhou Xian will not take it lightly.
"The lower official needs to use it for a while, and if the production capacity is insufficient, then give the horse Chitose an answer."
"Very good, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must report to me as soon as possible."
"I will take care of all difficulties for you as soon as possible."
Xu Rongbing listened to Master Ma's serious statement, and he was so excited that he couldn't sit steadily.
"Thank you for the horse Chitose, the next official is willing to go to the soup for the Chitose Lord, and then die!"
Xu Rongbing never dared to think that he could have today's achievements.
At the banquet, Zhou Xian had a deeper understanding of each other with several people in power in the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, two ministers were also activated.
These two capable ministers are both border defense talents allocated for Sun Chengzong.
Therefore, the situation of mutual cooperation and win-win situation has been promoted in the laughter.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Xu Rongbing, Sun Chengzong and Chen Weikun were too drunk, so Zhou Xian arranged for his father-in-law to send them back to their respective homes.
and motioned for Chen Weikun to stay for a while.
Zhou Xian said: "Yang Guogong."
"What do you command?"
"I want to reward the forbidden army in the capital."
When Chen Weikun heard this, his expression turned cold, he didn't expect that this master of the prison country was going to the forbidden army station.
But he also hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The old man will arrange it tomorrow!"
"Okay, then you can go back and rest."
"The old man retired."
After Chen Weikun left.
Only Zhou Xian and Yue Ling were left in the hall.
"Yue Ling, you come with me."
Zhou Xian waved his hand and returned to the wine table with Yue Ling.
This time Xian
Hui's Princess Changping had already ordered the palace maid to clean up the dining table.
The big red robe of Wuyi Mountain was prepared for Wu Sangui.
Zhu Yujiao personally made tea and brewed it for the two.
Seeing this scene, Yue Ling was flattered, and said in a thick voice: "The princess's daughter's body, how can she be lowly and degraded."
"Eh, here, there are no princesses, no horses, no prisoners. You and I are the same court, talk to each other today, and get up."
Zhou Xian patted Yue Ling on the shoulder.
After the latter stood up, he sat down resignedly.
Although he heard the colt and the princess say so.
But can he not observe the etiquette between kings and courtiers?
Even if Zhou Li is a prisoner of the country, when someone is a relative of the emperor.
It was a royal family who had stepped into the Jinluan Palace.
What's more, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping, who was regarded as the pearl of the palm by Emperor Chongzhen, served tea and poured water on the side.
Who can enjoy such treatment?
Who dares to enjoy?
Seeing that Yue Ling was still silent, Zhou Xian slowed down his tone and asked, "Yue Ling, do you know what I am looking for you for?"
"Humble duty, please ask the horse Chitose to make it clear."
"I'm going to set up a very important department, but I don't have anyone worth entrusting my life to."
"Therefore, I thought of you, and now there is only you above this temple."
Zhou Xianke is the ancestor of sensationalism.
His voice had just fallen.
Yue Ling's body trembled violently.
He was really touched.
Back then, he was able to kill people like hemp and lick blood from the knife edge in Jinyiwei, but he never shed a single tear.
Today, all his tears were confessed in the Horse Mansion......
Thinking that above the Daming Temple at the beginning, the atmosphere of the Donglin Party being suppressed by Wei Zhongxian did not dare to breathe.
But only Yue Ling dared to disobey Wei Zhongxian's authority.
Although he didn't pull Wei Zhongxian off the horse, he also made Wei Zhongxian feel scared.
It wasn't until he resigned and returned to his hometown that Wei Zhongxian was completely relieved.
Then they didn't dare to send someone to assassinate him.
Because Yue Ling's prestige within Jinyiwei is in full swing.
Even if he was an errand under Wei Zhongxian, he should not be underestimated.
Although it is not what it used to be.
Time has passed, and this time he was found by Zhou Xian, and he didn't know what was going on.
After listening to Zhou Xian's statement, Yue Ling's closed heart restarted again.
"Please tell Chitose the horse, no matter what, even if the humble position is ruined, it will be done for Chitose Lord!"
"I don't allow you to be ruined, instead, I command you to live in the world. No matter how intolerable things are, you have to stay alive."
Hearing this, Yue Ling was a little depressed.
What the hell is the mission?
Is it the first place to be alive?
He had been in the palace for many years, but he had never heard of a mission with similar prerequisites.
Finding Yue Ling's confused face, Zhou Xian went straight to the point and said, "From now on, you will leave the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, how about going to Jiannu?"
Yue Ling was slightly stunned, and his originally cloudy eyes suddenly bloomed with a little brilliance.
He seemed to get it.
"How to arrange it for the Chitose Lord, the subordinate officials are respectful."
"But let the lowly go undercover?"
it!
This guy has a clear mind.
Zhou Xian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad."
"Go behind enemy lines and set up an espionage agency."
"Specializing in spying on the inside story of Jiannu and Warat."
"So that I can know myself and my opponent in the next military confrontation, and win all battles."
