Chapter 56: Banquet for King Chiang

After teasing Zhaoren for a while, Yuan Guifei said goodbye first, and took Zhaoren's princess Zhu Yukuang and a few entourage palace maids to leave first, and Xiao Zhaoren was still a little reluctant.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Zhang Ping also said goodbye.

"Xuan'er, I'll have dinner here at the mourning house before leaving." , Zhang Yan said.

She hopes that Zhang Ping will stay for dinner, and if she likes this child, she will be happy to have someone to accompany her to eat.

"Queen Mother, no, my son asked Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan to go to the North Post House for dinner today."

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Ping, "Xuan'er! There's something you can't say during the day, it's not good to ask the minister to eat together. ”

Zhang Ping knew what Zhang Yan wanted to say, and the ministers got together in private, and they were to be tabooed by the emperor.

"The queen mother, the minister has already told the emperor, mainly to talk about some serious things, everyone is busy during the day, so they can only choose at night, and the emperor also rewarded a few jars of good wine for this."

Zhang Yan was relieved when she heard this, it seems that this kid is an understanding person.

"Xuan'er, Hou Ye has sent someone here, the old couple wants to enter the palace, the idea of the mourning family is that we go to Hou Ye, the mourning family knows that you have been very busy in the past two days, look at your time, let's go if you have the kung fu."

Zhang Ping knew Zhang Yan's thoughts, Tai Kangbo and the old lady had to salute her as a daughter according to the rules when they entered the palace, and they felt awkward in their hearts, and they could be exempted from this set by going to the Hou Ye's Mansion, "Tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yan was surprised, "Tomorrow, the case of Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen is at a critical moment, can the emperor allow you to leave?" ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "It is estimated that Li Banghua can investigate the case almost today, and the confessions of the two people, after tomorrow and even for a period of time in the future, will definitely be checked one by one, and there will only be one thing tomorrow, that is, arrest the people of the two families and raid the homes of two people, so it will be fine." ”

Zhang Yan smiled, "That's good! Everything is ready, let's go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow for a day. ”

"Okay, everything is in accordance with the Queen Mother's will."

After entering the Yuehua Gate, Zhang Ping walked towards the Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Youzhen saw Zhang Ping who came in and immediately asked, "Xuan'er, what's the matter with Li Banghua?" I've been checking for a day, and I haven't replied to the letter until now, and I'm dying. ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "Your Majesty, this shows that it is a good thing, there are many people who may be implicated, and Li Banghua is interrogating and checking them one by one." ”

"How could it be that Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen are dead ducks with hard mouths, knowing that they are finished, gritting their teeth and not explaining?"

"That's definitely not going to happen, the emperor thinks, Li Zicheng came in, Zhu Chunchen and Li Guozhen surrendered immediately, Zhu Chunchen and Wei Zaode also took many officials to bow to Li Zicheng and persuade him to enter, which shows that these two guys are soft eggs, what is the place of Jinyiwei's Beizhen Fusi? All kinds of means can only be imagined, but they can't be done, and the two cowards have that backbone? ”

After Zhang Ping said this, the anxiety in Zhu Youzhen's heart suddenly disappeared, "Xuan'er, what you said makes sense. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment, if there is nothing to do, the minister will leave, don't let Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan arrive first, then the minister will be rude."

Zhu Youzhen smiled, "Come back, you guys have a good chat, explain it to them clearly, and the more detailed the better." ”

He knows that the more detailed Zhang Ping speaks, the more clear the two of them will do in the future, mother! If you really go step by step according to the plan, what will be the effect in the future? Just think about it and make people dance with pleasure, alas, find someone to share, right! Go to the Queen.

"The courtiers."

Li Xiaoshan and the others were in the outer court, and when they saw Zhang Ping coming out of the Qianqing Palace, they immediately ran over.

In the past two days, they have seen a lot, the emperor's home is really not anyone who wants to go in, they saw a lot of ministers were blocked out of the door, did not let in, they wanted to enter the palace to see the idea seems hopeless, however, in the past two days, they have seen the outside of the court almost, seeing the tall white marble steps of the imperial palace, as well as the various carvings and utensils on it, they all feel that it is too long to see.

It's a pity that I didn't go inside to take a look, and everyone didn't dare to climb the window, and the brocade guards on duty were strictly guarded.

However, these ten people are no longer as timid as when they first came, and now, they are wearing the clothes that they look at at the Jinyi Guard, and they feel that no one is worse than the other, and they feel that they are better than the Jinyi Guard.

"Back!"

"Obey! Dudu, Liang Duo has already brought out the wine, mother! Twelve altars! All pulled back. ”

"That's good, you've done a good job lately, and you're allowed to get drunk, but don't drink that much, you know? These are royal wines, and the way you drink them is too bad. ”

"Know! Know! Didn't the Governor say that? It's most comfortable when we're three points drunk, and we're all three points drunk today. ”

Their horses were left outside the Donghua Gate, and there was a special person to take care of them, and everyone rode on their horses, and walked towards the North Post House.

Liu Qinglian was directing the setting of tables and chairs in the living room, and at noon, when Xianggong left, he explained that tonight he invited Lord Jiang Dejing and Lord Wang Jiayan to come as guests at night, and it was possible to have a long conversation all night, and it was more convenient to change the meal to the living room, so he took a few people to carry the tables and chairs to the hall.

Dou Meiyi felt a little uncomfortable, she was not liked because of Liu Qinglian, she couldn't see it, she was quite good at seducing men.

Is it two days early? It's like a hostess, and when I saw the governor calling Xianggong, I didn't know what my surname was, but the annoyed lord also said that he would obey Liu Qinglian in the future, and dare to violate the military law, this little goblin is better than me, why?

If you are engaged in military law, what will it be? The marching method is definitely different for men and women, will it strip you naked and spank? If there is no one else around, you can clean me up as much as you want! The slave is willing.

Hearing the sound of horses outside, Liu Qinglian came out with someone, "Xianggong, are you back?" ”

"Oh! You're back, but the two adults haven't come yet, have they? ”

Liu Qinglian replied with a smile: "Not yet, the chef has already done some of the dishes, those imperial wines, eight altars were transported to the small warehouse, and Li Xiaoshan and they left three altars, our altar is enough." ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "Give them so much?" They still have to get drunk, Li Xiaoshan, call Liang Duo and Qian Jin, you eat together, the two of them are also our people. ”

"Obey!" , Li Xiaoshan is most afraid that Zhang Ping will take back a jar of wine, this is imperial wine, and it is a pity not to drink enough at one time.

One altar of five catties, twelve people, Zhang Ping estimated that Li Xiaoshan and others would get drunk a few today.

Drink it! Drink it! The brothers have had a hard time, and they have done a good job.

As soon as they washed their faces, Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan arrived.

Li Xiaoshan knew that it was a guest, so he directly asked Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan to lead the horses they were riding into the back stable.

"Governor, bother!" , Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan, who entered the hall, bowed their hands.

"Hah! The two of you came so quickly, the governor of Pontus has just come back, Qinglian, arrange for someone to inform the serving, two adults, let's go directly to the table. ”

Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan happily obeyed and sat directly at the table.

Wang Jinying brought out the tea.

Zhang Ping ordered Liu Qinglian to sit at the table, and Liu Qinglian was a little embarrassed.

"Xianggong, how can there be a woman at the table, just serve the master and the two adults in the slave family and drink."

"If you are told to sit, you will sit, the two adults are in their fifties, they are both the ages of the elders, what is there to be restrained, Meiyi will be in charge of pouring wine for a while."

Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan were surprised, and they asked the same question, "Governor, who is this?" ”

"Oh! This is Liu Qinglian, the female official next to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has made the two of us married, but the Liukou has cut off Henan and other places, and when the Liukou is swept away and her parents are brought in, we will get married on a certain day. ”

"Rude! Faux pas! See the Governor's Wife! ”

Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan came like this, and Liu Qinglian was embarrassed, "Two adults, please take a seat." ”

Dou Meiyi finally understood that she was really a girl in the room, and Liu Qinglian was not, in the future, Liu Qinglian would be the worst second lady, alas! It's only two days late, why is the gap so big?

Liang Duo and Qian Jin personally led people to send six cold dishes and four hot dishes, and today the two of them were very happy, becoming the governor's subordinates, not to mention the promotion of the official, the imperial wine rewarded by the emperor is about to be drunk.

"Governor! There are also two big signature dishes, which will be served at about the same time, and if there is something to do, we will be in the big dining room with everyone. ”

"Okay, you go, tell everyone, a few of the servants of the governor of Pontus will also eat with you, everyone be restrained, don't be rude and unreasonable, otherwise the military law will be heavy."

"Obey! Obey! ”

Zhang Ping turned his face to Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan and said: "The two adults are busy during the day, so they can only sit at night. ”

Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan both bowed their hands in the direction of the palace, "The emperor's grace is vast, and we all occupy the light of the governor." ”

Dou Meiyi poured wine, and Liu Qinglian only asked her to pour a little bit.

"Come on! Dry the first bowl! As he spoke, Zhang Ping picked up the wine.

"I'm afraid it's not okay to drink like this!" It turned out that Jiang Dejing had drunk the wine in the palace and knew that the degree of this wine was not low at all.

"The first bowl must be drunk, otherwise how can it be the emperor, let's drink it slowly in the future, mainly to eat."

Hearing Zhang Ping say this, after the three of them touched the bowl, Jiang Dejing finished the wine.

Zhang Ping and Zhang Luo ate vegetables, Jiang Dejing and Wang Jiayan both picked up the wine, Wang Jiayan said: "Without the governor, there would be no court today. ”

The three of them did it again.

"A bowl of Lady Jingdu." , Wang Jiayan proposed, Jiang Dejing also picked up the wine.

Hearing that Wang Jiayan was going to toast, Liu Qinglian was frightened, "Don't! Other! The little woman is the slave of the governor, how dare she let the two adults toast, and the little woman toasts the two adults. ”

Dou Meiyi was a little annoyed, but she pretended to have a very smile on her face, from this moment on, she and Liu Qinglian have been completely decided, and you should still want to please Liu Qinglian in the future, otherwise, there will be no leftover soup of your own.

Zhang Ping is a bold person, Wang Jiayan is also a bold person, and Jiang Dejing is also a cheerful person, and then, everyone will be unrestrained immediately.

Jiang Dejing had already drunk wine with Zhang Ping in the palace yesterday, and at the banquet, Emperor Zhu Youzhen had already told the big plan, and later Jiang Dejing and Li Banghua, Fan Jingwen, and Ni Yuanlu sat in the south study and chatted until midnight, and basically knew about the future operation of the imperial court.

Of course, he can only know one, seven, eight, eight, because Li Banghua and the others roughly know so much, Jiang Dejing seems to have seen what the Ming Dynasty will look like in the near future.

Of course, no one said anything else about such an idea, but Jiang Dejing knew that all this was planned by Zhang Ping.

In the past, what was the emperor like? Jiang Dejing knows too well, what predicament did the imperial court face in the past? Jiang Dejing knew better, if he didn't feel hopeless, he couldn't leave the stall and stop doing it, what happened in the imperial court in the past two days was surprising, he eliminated Wei Zaode and Zhu Chunchen, two traitors, and appointed Li Banghua as the first assistant, and he also had endless money, can't he think about it? Who brought about this change? I can't count it in my heart.

"Governor, I've been thinking about it for a day today, what will I do in the military in the future? In the south, Li Zicheng has become the climate, and the army of the imperial court is not as large as that of others, and in the north, Jianyu is eyeing him, and he may come in and loot when he thinks of this. ”

"Hahahaha! Lord Wang was overly concerned. Zhang Ping looked at Wang Jiayan and laughed.

"Governor, what are you laughing at?"

Zhang Ping looked at Wang Jiayan, "The overall situation is that it seems that we have no possibility of breaking the situation at all, in fact, we still have a chance, and we can make a big difference, and achieve unexpected results. ”

Wang Jiayan thought about it carefully, and then looked at Jiang Dejing, "Lord Jiang, you haven't been in the court in the past two days, so many big things have happened, the emperor is really not in a hurry, and he still looks confident and has a chance of winning." ”

Jiang Dejing stood up and bowed to Zhang Ping, "I wish to hear the details." ”

Zhang Ping laughed, "Lord Jiang, please take a seat!" I'm going to tell you all about what we should do. ”

"I'll hear you!"

What the two didn't expect was that Zhang Ping picked up the wine, but wanted to drink with Liu Qinglian, "Qinglian, let's take a sip." ”

Liu Qinglian hurriedly picked up the wine with both hands, "Xianggong, you drink less, just entertain Lord Jiang and Lord Wang." ”

Wang Jiayan is a little anxious, all governors! Hurry up, why did you two get drunk? Show affection?
