Chapter 10: Giving the Sword to the Official

Da Kui heard the words and looked around again, everyone else was standing respectfully, only this person was sitting. Xin said: 'Brother Tang can't sit even if he is a general, this person is... Zhu Yuanzhang?' Da Kui thought of this, hurriedly took three steps back, and then walked around to this person and bowed his knees: "Grass people Zhang Dakui knocked to see His Royal Highness King Wu." (At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet been proclaimed emperor)

Da Kui guessed correctly, this person is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future. "Hahahaha, what a Zhang Dakui, get up. Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth first, and Da Kui got up when he heard this.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked Da Kui up and down and said, "En, eight feet tall and powerful." But he also deserves the name of General Kamui. Da Kui hurriedly bowed down and said: "The grass people have a false reputation, and His Royal Highness can't take it seriously." Of course, Da Kui knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant by this, but now that he was tired of the military, he had to be humble.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I heard that you and General Tang are acquainted, and General Tang strongly sponsors him, so this king came today to see who General Shenwei is." Da Kui only promised: "The grass people are a puppet, and His Royal Highness King He Lao Wu is here." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and paced slowly in the room. After a long time, he said: "General Tang said that you are brave to crown the three armies, and this king will crown you as the imperial envoy of the three ranks, okay?" Da Kui hurriedly knelt down and said: "The grass people are willing to be ordinary people for the rest of their lives, and I hope that King Wu will be favorable." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. But he still asked kindly, "Why is that?"

Da Kui was already choked up at this time, and said after a long time: "Caomin was once a general of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was a brother and sister to the lieutenant general of the army. However, the bad luck of the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, and the grass people watched the brothers around them fall one by one, but they had no way to return to the sky. Speaking of this, Da Kui raised his head and said: "Although I Zhang Dakui was born stupid, my heart is also fleshy, I... I... I..."Da Kui's face was full of tears at the moment, and he couldn't speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "At the beginning, General Tang said that you were brave, and this king thought so. Now I see, you are even more affectionate and sexual, so Zhang Dakui listens to it. "Da Kui lay on his stomach and didn't speak, thinking, 'If you really want to force me to do anything, I'll slip away.' ’

"Zhang Dakui, the former general of Song Shenwei, was the political envoy of Jiangnan, and he was responsible for inspecting the clean government of hundreds of officials in Jiangnan. And crowned the crown prince Taibao, received the second rank, and gave a hundred taels of gold and a thousand brocades. Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "This king is so rewarded, are you satisfied?" Da Kui lay on the ground and fainted, he didn't know what the political envoy was. Not only Da Kui was dizzy, but the officials present were all dizzy. Jiangnan Tong political envoy, the general responsibility for inspecting the integrity of 100 officials in Jiangnan. That is to say, it is equivalent to the minister, but if the official has a bad record of corruption and perverting the law, it is the duty of Da Kui.

Da Kui's mind was in chaos, Tang He came over and said, "Brother Da Kui, are you still not grateful?" Da Kui said blankly: "Grass people Zhang Dakui thank King Wu for his grace." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Today, the king does not bring a sword, since you are the political envoy of Jiangnan, you need to have a sword from the king." So I will send tomorrow with the sword and the seal. ”

Tang He stepped forward when he heard this: "The minister asked a famous craftsman to build a sword in Longquan, Yizhou, and the Tuolongping Mansion was escorted by the Zhengtong Dart Bureau, and the minister originally planned to enshrine this sword to King Wu." Now it just so happens that the dart master who escorted the sword is in this store, so it is better to give this sword to Lord Zhang in the opinion of the minister. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's fine, Master Zhang and stay here temporarily." A reward should be given tomorrow. Return to the palace. ”

Just when Da Kui's mind was full of mud, Zhu Yuanzhang led the officials to leave the Yuelai Inn. Now Zhang Dakui has become a second-class member, and what is even more ridiculous is that the darts he escorted thousands of miles are his own.

On the same day, Yingtianfu was a sensation, and the Jiangnan Tong political envoy of King Wu lived in Yuelai Inn. For a time, there were more than 100 local officials in Tianfu and officials from other places who came to report on their work, and they all went straight to the Yuelai Inn. But now there are four guards with big shoulders and round waists guarding the door in front of the Yuelai Inn, and no one is allowed to enter.

Da Kui returned to the guest room only to find that the four shopkeepers were cleaning in his room, and the tables, chairs, and beds were almost scratched. The rest of the tenants went out after the strong men guarding the door had left, and they didn't know what was going on. But then the owner of the Yuelai Inn doubled the money one by one and told them to choose another inn.

In less than half an hour, there were only four tenants left, Da Kui and Huang Ying's brother and sister. Huang Ying saw Da Kui and asked incomprehensibly: "Brother Zhang, why have you cried?" Da Kui said aggrievedly: "A big official came to eat in the front building, and no idlers are allowed to go out here." I ran out in a hurry, but the officials and family members saw it and rushed back. Outcome... Outcome. Huang Ying couldn't help but cover her nose when she heard this, and turned around and entered the room.

Fang Qishan and Luo Dahai were also puzzled, and asked a guy to ask, but they didn't know anything. That night, the owner of the goods came to the door, handed over the paperwork, paid the dart silver, and took the dart away.

Huang Ying took out fifty taels from the dart silver and handed it to Da Kui and said, "I have been taken care of by Brother Zhang all the way, and we will say goodbye." Da Kui didn't say what he wanted to say after all, but he still returned the fifty taels of silver to Huang Ying and said: "The silver I got at the beginning is also ill-gotten gains, I'm just joking with Miss Huang, why take it seriously." Huang Ying couldn't shirk it in every possible way, so she had to accept it.

Da Kui said again: "It's getting late today, so it's better for the three of you to leave tomorrow." Unexpectedly, Huang Ying shook her head and said: "My father is seriously ill, we have to rush back overnight, Brother Zhang's kind little sister understands it." Da Kui couldn't hold back when he saw it, so he could only watch them leave in a daze. Unexpectedly, Tang He happened to walk into the store alone, and when he saw Da Kui's eyes straight, he looked back and looked at Huang Ying and the other three of them leaving, and he already understood seven or eight points.

The two talked about the past and the present in the front building of the Yuelai Inn, and drank happily. Gradually, Da Kui got drunk again, and Tang He also had the urge to drink. Da Kui was drunk and said nonsense: "Miss Huang, don't go..."Tang He asked with a smile: "Brother does his heart belong?" Da Kui said in a daze: "So what?" Tang He smiled: "Why is the big husband without a wife, brother don't be like this." Da Kui raised his head and said, "Brother Tang, you don't know. Miss Huang is the most beautiful woman I have ever met. "Hahaha. Tang He laughed and said: "This matter is wrapped up in the eldest brother, and the brother will be satisfied." ”

Today's Da Kui is not as good as before, although he is drunk, he is still three points sober. felt that Tang He had something to say, so he beat his spirit and said: "Brother Tang, our brothers are all decent people, and we can't do anything to oppress people with power." Tang He smiled: "That's natural, what kind of person is my brother, how do you not know how to be my brother? Tang He and Da Kui drank until dawn, and both of them lay on the table unconscious.
