Chapter 51: Meeting with the State Government
[Congratulations to the sword master Hades Venerable for his great promotion to the helmsman, jumping to the first place on the fan list, mighty and domineering, thank you~]
Linqingzhou Ya.
Sheng Zhongquan, the governor of Linqing Prefecture, is a short, fat, and quite amiable person. Of course, this is the state in recent times. Two years ago, Sheng Zhongquan was still a short, strong, energetic, and full of lustful Zhizhou.
And all this, naturally, is because this is the third year of Sheng Zhongquan's tenure.
The third year, which means that Sheng Zhongquan's term of office has arrived, is his last year.
He asks for stability, not to cause trouble, not to have an accident. Let the family business accumulated in three years must not be beaten with chickens and eggs. This was quite smooth before April of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.
But now...... Such expectations seem to be difficult to meet.
It's all because of Zhu Cihong.
The tax division was greatly changed, and the bamboo and wood pumping branch was merged. The situation in the city is like a meteorite falling into a small lake, and it is difficult to calm down. Thinking of Zhu Cihong's predecessor Chu Lushan's encounter, Sheng Zhongquan couldn't help but sigh a little more.
But when he thought of the continuation of the family in the past three years, Sheng Zhongquan couldn't give up no matter what. So, when Sheng Zhongquan met Yang Chuan, he finally made up his mind.
A decision that looks like the winner and the negative is exceptionally clear.
Thinking of the words that Yang Chuan mentioned when he saw him, thinking of the benefits promised and his family business in the past three years, when Yang Chuan entered the backyard, his state was raised to the highest. It seems that it is back to three years ago, when it was full of energy.
"Clean carefully, miss the master's big thing, carefully care about your skin!"
"How is the Yiwu girl from Miaoyin Building? What the? How many wealthy businessmen are here? Tell that group of things that have no eyesight and can't catch up within a quarter of an hour, don't think about opening this Miaoyin Building! ”
"Good, good! The wine banquet in Pinxuan Building is ready! ”
When Sheng Zhongquan walked into the backyard, the sound of three housekeepers busy and arranging everywhere suddenly came to his ears.
It's just that being noisy by this noisy voice, the boundless encouragement that Sheng Zhongquan had just raised suddenly became deflated for some reason.
As soon as he thought of this, Sheng Zhongquan was full of irritability, and waved his hand like a fly: "Go out, is it an eyesore here?" ”
When the three butlers saw this, they were stunned by each other.
Seeing this, Sheng Zhongquan also understood that his words were serious.
Sheng Fu, the chief butler at the head, suddenly glared angrily at the housekeeper with the highest voice just now and said, "What are you arguing about, didn't you hear the master speak?" Quarrel and quarrel! ”
"Yes!"
Sheng Zhongquan waved his hand weakly and entered the inner room: "Let's do things well." Where have they been? ”
Sheng Fu's footsteps followed gently: "Master." Mr. Dongshan said that he would arrive in two quarters of an hour, and Mr. Liu said that he would arrive with Mr. Dongshan. Director Qin didn't say anything about the time when he came, and the little one had just sent someone to see it, and he hadn't left yet. There was no one in the Revenue Division's mansion either. ”
Sheng Zhongquan nodded a few times in a row, shaking Sheng Fu's eyes for a while.
After a long time, I heard Sheng Zhongquan say: "It's okay, go out and wait." ”
It wasn't until Sheng Fu left that Sheng Zhongquan suddenly sighed and said: "This Linqing, unconsciously, is no longer around me." ”
Sheng Zhongquan seeks stability, and he is bent on taking away the family business he has saved for three years, but it also means staying out of many changes, thus losing his authority. If not, who wouldn't be in the hurry to get there?
Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Zeqing and Yang Chuan both arrived.
Sheng Zhongquan stood in front of the door of the inner hall with a somewhat reserved face, until Yang Chuan saluted and Liu Zeqing was about to move, then Wen Yan smiled and went over to help up the two who were making a look.
"Mr. Dongshan, Liu Junmen, three years of watch, there is no need to be so polite. Come on in! Sheng Zhongquan smiled and welcomed the two inside.
Yang Chuan's demeanor as a celebrity: "Taishou is a local parent official, three years of hard work, and the prosperity of a place depends on Taishou, how can it be rude?" ”
The two went back and forth, and the atmosphere was quite warm. Even Liu Zeqing, who has never liked to mix with the hypocrisy and politeness of literati, also joked: "There are old ladies who help each other, and Mr. Dongshan who gives advice." This evil of Linqing is hopeless to be removed! ”
Sheng Zhongquan and Yang Chuan glanced at each other and nodded one after another, they didn't think much of Liu Zeqing, the vassal and elegant military leader, but they still heard the words on their faces and said with relief: "The most critical thing is that the military has to contribute!" ”
"Wrap it up on me!" Liu Zeqing was held by the two, and he was almost about to swear by swearing.
But when the shouting outside the door was raised, several people in the venue got up and walked out.
"Lord Qin, the head of the Linqing Tax Division of the Ministry of Households, here!"
Sheng Zhongquan's steps were not slow, and he did not stand on top of the inner hall in a reserved manner, but walked to the gate in person, watched Zhu Cihong just turn over and dismount, threw the reins to the guards, and strode over to look at a few people.
With this strong body and agile movements, he doesn't look like a civil official, but a martial artist!
Thinking of this, Sheng Zhongquan couldn't help but secretly glance at Liu Zeqing's obese body. But this Liu Junmen next to him doesn't look like a martial artist at all, as long as he doesn't speak, he has the atmosphere of a scholar.
What a mess of the world......
"This official is here, so there is no need to be polite. Go inside, let's talk about things" Zhu Cihong arched his hand slightly and went straight inside, making Sheng Zhongquan's smile just float suddenly solidify.
Yang Chuan smiled and did not speak. Liu Zeqing looked at Sheng Zhongquan with an expression of "just say it if you look at it".
Sheng Zhongquan smiled dryly, and quickly followed Zhu Cihong's pace into the inner hall. It's as if as long as the pace is slow, the main seat will be robbed.
Of course Zhu Cihong wouldn't be like this, and he didn't understand etiquette at all.
Sheng Zhongquan sat down in the main seat, coughed lightly, and really didn't engage in any red tape, and said directly: "I heard that Lord Qin intends to move Liu Zeqing, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, to play Your Majesty, and want to enter Henan to quell the chaos?" ”
"Yes." Zhu Cihong replied very crisply.
This made Sheng Zhongquan stunned for a moment, he thought that Zhu Cihong would talk about it in the clouds, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
At this moment, Liu Zeqing said with a smile: "Lord Zhizhou, Your Majesty was very happy when I heard about the joint letter with Lord Qin. This matter has been issued to the Ministry of War, and in a few days there will be a holy decree allowing us to enter Henan. ”
After the two finished speaking, Sheng Zhongquan sighed heavily, and said: "Going to Henan to quell the chaos is to relieve Your Majesty's worries, and it is the duty of a minister." But...... But...... The peace of this Shandong place depends on Liu Junmen's town. The military is dangerous, and it is naturally a great joy to win, but there is a cloud in the military book: if you don't expect to win, you will lose first. This Shandong is safe, but it is inseparable from Liu Junmen! ”
"This ...... This ......" Liu Zeqing heard this, and immediately became speechless. He looked at Zhu Cihong, and he wanted to speak with a constipated expression.
"It's too exaggerated...... Zhu Cihong commented in his heart, but he only cared about drinking tea and didn't pick up the stubble at all. With such exaggerated acting skills, if Zhu Cihong didn't know that these two were working together to force himself, he would be really blind.
