Chapter 472: Internal and External Troubles
Entering the house with Meng Jun, Zhang Yue couldn't help but squint his eyes, and found that this place was even brighter than the courtyard. There are four mahogany palace lamps with a hundred bird patterns hanging on the high beams, and countless bright lampstands are also lit on the surrounding lampstands. The spacious place has already set up a banquet, but it is a few tall people, there are bowls and plates on the table, and there are also musicians in the hall.
This is the first time Zhang Yue has seen the crown of the eunuch guarding the Xuanfu Town, and he saw that he was in his forties, with a lofty physique, and only two or three beards except for his chin, as if he was just a normal man. The first on the right is Xing'an Bo Xu Heng, and the first on the left is Lu Feng, and the next hand is an empty seat that has been touched by a cup and plate. At this time, it was probably because there were guests coming, and there were girls moving a few chairs, but one was placed in the second place on the right hand and one in the third place on the left hand. However, just when another girl put the box and plate on it, Lu Feng dusted off the corner of his robe and stood up.
"It's good now, this Qin is almost complete, and the leaders of the Xuanfu are almost ready." He looked at the few young and jade-looking musicians in the hall, and said with a smile, "If this is in case Meng Yuan's secret spies sneak here, it won't be a pot of stew?" The prince should also be more restrained, we have a royal history with us this time, you invite a guest to put on such a show, there are so many kabuki and maiko, even those ministers in the capital are not as comfortable as you! I drank and ate wine just now, and our family still has something to do tomorrow, so I won't accompany us. Can you give our family a ride? ”
Xing'an Bo Xu Heng inherited his grandfather's rank, and he can be regarded as the first person among the earls, and he just drank a few more glasses of wine to relieve his sorrows, but he was really a little drunk. However, since he saw Hai Shou appear in the eunuch's mansion, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to follow Lu Feng rashly, but got up and started haha.
"Gonggong Lu's words are serious, today I just read the people of the left guard of the Xuanfu, tomorrow is just a rest, the day after tomorrow is the right guard of the Xuanfu, it is rare to relax, and there will be people who can't talk too much?"
As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Meng Jun to sit down beside him, and Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, then simply occupied the seat of Meng Jun, the second on his right, and said with a smile after sitting down: "Now is the time when the big war is imminent, and it is better to withdraw this singing and dancing silk bamboo." It's not that it's for any impeachment, but it's not for this time to listen to it. ”
Although he had just been robbed by Lu Feng, there was no movement on the crown's face, and as soon as Zhang Yue opened his mouth at this moment, he immediately withdrew those kabuki from the good, and then simply drove away from the girls who served, and then explained nonchalantly: "These are actually not invited from outside, they are all girls from poor families, and our family has taken them in and given them a bite to eat, and they will blow and blow to make our family feel tired, no different from girls." If you want to talk about impeachment, Xuanfu is not without a history of science and technology, and it is not the turn of a small trial history to talk about it. As for Meng Yuan's secret spies, if it weren't for them, why would our family bother to make a big move in Xuanfu and investigate the spies under martial law throughout the territory? ”
Seeing that Lu Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this, Zhang Yue didn't know that someone had lifted a stone and hit his own foot. It's just that he remembers it clearly, the concierge outside just now mentioned that today it was the crown who specially sent a note to call the best people in the Xuan Mansion, and even pointed out that the person was from the Datong Dynasty Palace. After a little silence, he decided not to mention the matter, and while Hai Shou had a good time to sit down, he asked casually: "I don't know why Gonggong Hai came to Xuanfu this time?" ”
"Just a few days ago, several noble families in the capital were thieves, and as a result, the Shuntian Mansion tossed up and down for a while, and the result was that several spies from the north were caught, including Warat and Tatar. Therefore, the Northern Expedition was originally a Lianwa to control the Tatars, so the emperor was extremely angry when he suspected that Wara was ill-intentioned, so he sent our family over, saying that he wanted to plow the Xuanfu like a plow, and he must not let go of any suspicious person. ”
Hai Shou, who didn't mention anything at the banquet just now, no longer covered it up at this time, and explained it with a smile, seeing that Xu Heng and Lu Feng's faces were not very good-looking, he coughed lightly again: "Before leaving, the emperor also gave an additional order, saying that it was Grandpa Lu who was in charge of Jinyiwei, since he happened to come over this time, then let Jinyiwei investigate this matter, as for our family, we will assist from the side, don't interfere indiscriminately." Even if it is a young man who claims to have escaped from captivity, he has to check it carefully this time. ”
Seeing that everyone at this banquet had their own wonderful expressions, Meng Jun, who was pretending to be drunk, couldn't help but laugh secretly. There is a way that everyone is drunk and I am sober, but at this time everyone is awake and I am drunk, he was originally most afraid of trouble, but he couldn't imagine that he could escape by getting drunk, and he didn't have to see people to talk about people, and he didn't have to talk nonsense. It was easy to get to the end of this banquet that he couldn't tell what it was like, and he heard Zhang Yue say that he was going to send him back, so he simply pretended to be thorough, and secretly stretched out his hand and spitted all over the place.
Seeing that Meng Jun was drunk like this, although Xu Heng had the intention to invite Zhang Yue to the General Military Mansion to discuss the plan, he had no choice but to give up at this time. Because the crown kept Haishou to live at home, the two sent the others to the gate together, and seeing that the two sturdy guys worked together to get Meng Jun into the car, Zhang Yue followed, and Xu Heng walked with Lu Feng, so the two of them exchanged a look.
"This time thanks to Grandpa Hai......"
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that our family and Father-in-law Liu were both old people who had followed the Northern Expedition back then, and knew that this Xuanfu was an important place to go, we wouldn't have bothered to help you this time! Don't do things too much, Lu Feng's kid is not easy to fool, Jinyiwei can you buy one, two, ten, eight, can you still stretch your hand to the capital and reach out to the whole world? Zhang Yue seems to have a good relationship with Lu Feng, but what kind of person is he, who needs to be a eunuch? As long as he is appeased, Lu Feng will naturally be alone. ”
"But that guy is the governor of Dongchang after all, what if he sues us to the emperor?"
"What are we, this is your own business, don't count our family!" Hai Shou glanced at the crown coldly, and immediately slapped the sleeves of his hands, "This Dongchang has just established, and he has only a few henchmen as an inexperienced chick, and the power is still in the hands of Yuan Fang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard." Without Yuan Fang, he couldn't clean up the situation. Remember, don't move around the people in the cell, don't think about the ones who run away, and what you're going to do now is clean up instead of stirring up trouble. ”
Peng Shisan and the others picked an affordable small restaurant on Bazhen Street to eat and drink, and then returned to Meng Jun's courtyard on time, only to find that the two main owners had not returned, which was inevitably a little strange. Xiang Long and Liu Bao also went to the Bazhen Pavilion to inquire, and only then did they learn that the two uncles went to the eunuch's mansion to attend the banquet. When the two went back, they wanted to find a place to see the situation, but Peng Shisan stopped them without saying a word.
"Don't look for it, people will come back in a short time, let's look for the past, others still think something big has happened. It stands to reason that we should live in the General Soldier's Mansion, but the young master didn't say where to stay tonight before leaving, so it's not easy for us to settle our luggage. Besides, we still have this stubborn cow, and it is really inappropriate to live in the General Military Mansion. ”
For the first time in months, Niu Dare had completely filled his stomach, and now he listened to others say things he didn't understand at all, so he just stood there honestly. However, after running around on the grassland for several months, he was extremely sensitive to the sound of the wind and grass, and after everyone stood there and talked for a long time, he suddenly said, "A carriage is coming!" ”
Peng Shisan immediately waved his hand and ordered the others to be silent, and a group of people all followed him to the gate of the courtyard. He listened intently for a while, and finally caught the sound of the wheels from the noise of the street, and couldn't help but stare at Niu Dare like a monster: "We were still talking just now, and it was noisy outside, how did you hear that a carriage was coming?" ”
"I've been on the prairie for so many years, and I'm used to hearing it. If you can't hear your master's voice when you're a slave, you can be beaten at any time. If you don't hear the sound early when you run away, you won't be able to avoid wolves, horse thieves, and the like. ”
It was not until Xiang Long noticed that a carriage was speeding towards this side, and hurriedly reminded the group of people to come back to their senses. Because of their duties, they are all suspicious people, even if Yongning County basically proves the identity of Niu Dang, no one dares to take it lightly, but at this moment, the suspicion almost turned into amazement. Such a guy with good ears was actually tempered in that terrible environment!
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of them. Seeing that Zhang Yue helped down the vain Meng Jun under his feet, and sent the carriage away, Peng Shisan took someone forward to help, and asked if he would live here tonight, so he naturally sent Lian Sheng and Lianhu to clean up the house and set it up, and then asked about the banquet tonight. Knowing that there was actually another young eunuch from the Imperial Horse Prison, he couldn't help but snort coldly angrily.
"A eunuch on the left and a eunuch on the right, how can it be like our Ming Dynasty is gone! By the way, I just took this stubborn cow to the restaurant, and he ate a pot of rice in one go...... It's a washbasin! Peng Shisan remembered that he was surrounded by countless eyes at that time, and couldn't help but shudder, and then spread his hands and said, "This money didn't cost much, except for eating, he ate two pieces of mutton, which is really good to feed." The stubborn cow also said that when they passed by Xinghe Fort......"
Peng Shisan lowered his voice and was about to say something carefully, when a deafening gong suddenly sounded outside, followed by the sound of horses' hooves of more than a dozen horsemen galloping across the street. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else, and he flashed out of the courtyard, looked around for a while, and then turned around.
"This is an urgent military situation, so I ask all the sergeants in the general colonel to return to the camp, I'm afraid something is wrong!"
