In July, the summer harvest, the land of Chuzhou is golden, while the sky has not changed its face, the golden rice fields are already full of people, and the rice in the field is also a stubble falling.

On July 3, Qin Cha and his entourage arrived at Nanhu County in Xiqian Lake, Yangzhou, and here they took a boat along the Jinhe waterway to reach the Weeping Blood Valley, and hurried all the way without delay, and arrived at Zhuque City in Chuzhou on July 17.

Leng Zhuo, Leng Invincible led people out of the city for ten miles to greet him, this welcome ceremony is not grand, after a toss, to settle down, it is already sunset.

Soldiers and Horses Envoy Mansion, Leng Zhuo knelt down to receive the new emperor's reward edict, the content is nothing more than praising Leng Zhuo for how loyal, turning the tide and so on, and finally, Leng Zhuo was given the official position of the soldier and horse envoy, and the title of Zhennan General was added, as well as a number of rewards, of course, in order to show care, Leng Zhuo's wife also got the title and reward.

After a while, Leng Zhuo asked people to accompany the Qin mission, and opened a table in the backyard, Wei Zhilan held the prince as a companion, Wei Guang hugged this great-grandson, and gave Leng Zhuo a rare smile.

Leng Wushu smiled and said, "I said the old guard, you have a black face this time, who owes you money!"

Wei Guang heard this, but handed the child to Wei Zhilan, his face turned up again, and said, "Old Leng Tou, your Leng family can't rebel!"

Leng Wushu was not happy, and said: "Old Weitou, if you don't make it clear today, don't blame the old man, I don't want to see you, our Leng family is under the banner, or has sent a message, why did we rebel!"

Wei Guang snorted coldly, but it was-for-tat, and he said unambiguously: "Hmph, it's not a rebellion under the banner of rebellion, along the way, how many counties and counties say that you are nepotistic and exclude dissidents." Wantonly meddling in local government affairs, and even openly abolishing the Imperial Palace. The county and county three systems, what is appointed to participate in the internal government, and the state capital is elevated. Officials appoint and dismiss your Leng family, but if you don't agree with it, you will wipe out your family!"

"The empire is in chaos, but it's not dead. If you don't want to serve the country, it's just that you're still demolishing the stage here, engaging in self-reliance and forcing the palace, I feel cold when I look at it!"

Leng Wushu snorted, and said quite boldly: "Hmph, if you have to say that, I also admit it, anyway, I have no nostalgia for this broken empire, Zhuo'er, Lord Qincha said." Our Leng family has rebelled, and tomorrow you will let people get a document out, and we will pull the banner. It's the other way around!"

"You!" Wei Guang was suddenly annoyed by the appearance of the invincible and bachelor, and he didn't know what to say.

"Two grandfathers, if there is anything you can't say well, you have to say something to rebel and not rebel!" Wei Zhilan hurriedly spoke.

"Hmph! I can't make sense with you old ghost!" Wei Guang said and looked at Leng Zhuo and said, "I don't care if you kid has any thoughts, but I have promised the emperor that your Leng family is a loyal minister." It's definitely not a rebel, I put all the heads of my Weiguo Mansion on the ground, if you want to rebel, cut off my head first, and step on hundreds of corpses of my Wei family!"

Leng Zhuo snorted, although his guess was not accurate, but it was not much worse, Wei Guang came here to stare at himself, but he didn't expect that Wei Guang would actually do this, didn't he force him! Fortunately, he didn't plan to stand up on his own in the short term.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I, Leng Zhuo, am still loyal and patriotic! As long as the new emperor is still on the throne, my Leng family is willing to serve the imperial court!" Leng Zhuo patted his chest and said.

Wei Guang was immediately relieved when he heard this, and said, "It's still your kid who knows reason!" Wei Guang said and took out a bright yellow holy decree from his arms, threw it to Leng Zhuo, and said: "This is the emperor's secret decree, and it is also stamped with the cabinet seal, and it is also archived inside!"

"As long as you help the new emperor to take down the anti-king Situ Hao, the new emperor promises to make you the generalissimo of the empire, the king with a different surname, and the Vermilion Bird City as your Leng family fief, hereditary replacement!"

Sure enough, it is roughly the same as what Beicheng Mingyue said, this new emperor really dares to open a line, but these three positions, looking at the wind, are not very real, the generalissimo of the empire, in the Tianlong Dynasty is just a temporary fictitious title, such as Wei Guang, he has been appointed as the generalissimo of the empire many times, commanding the legions, and conquering Beihu in the north.

And this generalissimo was appointed by the emperor, and after the fact, the emperor can take away your generalissimo with an edict, which is the lord of the central coordination, the king with a different surname, not to mention, the Tianlong Dynasty, there are many brothers who kill each other, and there are very few kings who have a good end, not to mention Leng Zhuo, the king with a different surname, is estimated to be more ruthless, and this head is not very auspicious.

As for the fiefdom, even more damn pit father, he is now the king of Chuzhou, and the ten prefectures of Chuzhou have the final say, your words are good, and they will directly turn the entire Chuzhou into a city, and the blacks are not so black.

However, Leng Zhuo still smiled, the position is sealed, but whether it will be as you wish when the time comes, is another matter.

"Grandpa Wei, this new emperor is really expensive, but it's all false, not a little sincere, I, a million soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, eat horses every day, pay for the war dead, settle down at home, restore the place, repair the damaged town, this is a lot of money spent, you see if the court is helping to solve the problem, anyway, I am also the official soldier and horse envoy appointed and dismissed by the court, this Chuzhou soldiers and horses are all soldiers and horses of the court, and I can't let me take money to raise the soldiers and horses of the court!"

Leng Zhuo said this, Wei Guang was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled bitterly and said: "You kid, do it on purpose, the empire is now in Kyushu and the treasury has long been spent, but since you say so, it is not wrong, this time I came over, and there are also some officials appointed by the imperial court who will fill the vacancy in the Chuzhou Prefecture and sort out the local finances and taxes, and the new emperor said that all the taxes collected by Chuzhou will be used to raise the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou!"

Leng Zhuo smiled and said: "That's good, speaking of which, I was also wronged, if it weren't for the war, a large number of officials died, no one was available, how could I vacate so many positions, these people are good, I am also so idle, wait for the future, I will let the generals spend statistics, it is better to make it clear in the future, I always let my own family suffer, the ladies in the backyard complain to me every day, saying that I am a loser!"

Wei Zhilan listened to what Leng Zhuo said, but she suddenly rolled her eyes, but she was a little sympathetic to her grandfather, her grandfather had served the imperial court all his life, and this time he came to fight for power with his grandson-in-law, just to restore the rule of the imperial court in Chuzhou, but is this possible?

Wei Zhilan is in charge of the secretariat, although she spends a lot of time on her son, and she doesn't have much time in the secretariat, but how can she not know how huge the secretariat is now, especially the secretariat manages Ping An Bank, the largest industry of the Leng family.

In just less than a year, Ping An Bank has set up branches in the ten counties of Chuzhou, above the town, all over the ten prefectures of Chuzhou, and this Ping An Bank is now also responsible for the commercial tax collection, the government expenditure account management, only this one, most of the finance and taxation in Chuzhou are controlled by the Ping An Bank, the government is responsible for the collection of summer and autumn land taxes and some miscellaneous taxes, and the money of the government is not stored in the yamen treasury, but in the bank, the yamen wants to use the money, they have to open a strip to pay, which means that the operation of the government is manipulated in hand.

It's just this, no matter how much my grandfather tosses it, it is difficult to make a splash in the end, and as for the officials appointed, it is even more useless, because the internal government of the government is directly under the jurisdiction of the counties, and the officials in these counties have already been cleaned up, and they are vertically managed by the financial internal government, and the government, and even the yamen of the big state, only have some vacant positions, which are purely used to place those powerful and have backgrounds, and it is not appropriate to dismiss officials all at once.

And the most important thing is that Leng Zhuo has a million military power, in this troubled world, military power is the fundamental, and now in the army, it is not easy to shake Leng Zhuo's foundation, the army does not dare to say that it is monolithic, but it is estimated that there are few people who dare to openly separate, the Huang family and other four major families have only passed for more than half a year, and the purge in Vermilion Bird City is enough for many people to know how to choose.

Wei Zhilan didn't say this, she only hopes now that her grandfather and her husband won't fall out in the end, it seems that after they disperse, she has to give him good instructions!

Leng Zhuo didn't continue to block Wei Guang, without this official matter, the family was happy, and Leng Wushu and Wei Guang hadn't seen each other for a few years, so naturally they drank a little more, and the trouble ended very late.

The next day, Leng Zhuo was in his room, refining a new batch of Tempered Body Pills, and before it was over, he heard a sound of footsteps outside, Leng Zhuo put away this furnace pill, opened his eyes, came to the courtyard, and said, "What's wrong Ya'er, you are in such a hurry!"

"Just now, Grandpa Wei appointed dozens of officials in the Yamen of Vermilion Bird City in one go, and posted notices widely, and now the city knows about it, and everyone is waiting to see the joke!"

"I thought it was something, let them toss, I want to see if those guys who are hiding deep will pop out! You will go to the government and the inner mansion in a while, and say that everything is as usual, but don't have any conflicts with that side, as long as it is not too excessive, give them some face!"

"Got it, young master, by the way, Grandpa Wei just came back and said that he planned to go to the nearby barracks to have a look, and he said that he wanted to visit the forbidden troops who had been rescued!" Li Ya'er continued.

Leng Zhuo listened, touched his nose, and said: "This old man is too anxious, just arrived at the ground, he drank so much wine yesterday, and he is so tossed today, and he is not afraid that his body will not be able to bear it, I know, you go first, I will go to him later!"

Wei Guang's meaning couldn't be more obvious, there were many people in the forbidden army who knew him, and many people had worked under his account, but Leng Zhuo didn't think that Wei Guang could win the hearts of the forbidden army, because these forbidden troops who went south didn't have a backbone at all, and Leng Zhuo, the military general above the battalion captain, didn't accept any of them, and Wei Guang's most contact in the army was obviously not those soldiers, and most of his students were also those generals.

If he just relied on a few words, the soldiers and horses under his command would defect, Leng Zhuo really didn't have to mix, and the so-called famous generals under his command were all in vain. (To be continued)
