Chapter 927: The Four Cowardly Xue Officials
An Tong took the lead in avenging Cheng Yue's grievances, if Cheng Yue was out of gratitude, it was not strange to invite him to come over to talk about it, but it was strange that it was this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now is the time for dinner, no matter how rude people are, they will not send someone to disturb them, and An Tong is not Cheng Yue's subordinate, so Cheng Yue must have something important to ask for.
An Tong, like Yuxi Timur, is also one of the cowardly Xue officials, but his prime minister's affairs are busy, so the cowardly Xue army is in charge of Yuxi Timur, which is also the reason why Cheng Yue ordered An Tong to lead the army to charge into battle in the Battle of Alimari. A person like An Tong, who is capable of both civil and military affairs, is extremely rare in the Yuan court.
Mongolia's cowardly officials are held by the descendants of the so-called Mongolian Four Heroes or Four Horses, the Four Heroes refer to Borhu, Muhuali, Borshu and Chilaowen, the four of them have made great contributions to Genghis Khan, and have been relied on by Genghis Khan, so that they have been able to rank as high officials for generations, and also enjoy the privilege of impunity for nine crimes. However, when it came to the generation of Yuxi Timur and An Tong, the descendants of the four heroes were different.
Borshu's grandson Yuxi Timur was in charge of the cowardly Xue army, and the fourth grandson of Muhuali, Antong, was reused and promoted to the prime minister, while Borhu's great-grandson Yuechi Cha'er was famous, but because he was proficient in the classics, he was only named in the cowardly Xue army, and in fact he was a civil official Xuanhui envoy. As for Chi Lao Wen's descendant Kuna, he was a privy judge in Huguang Province, which was the most unfavorable, but he was also one of the cowardly officials.
The two of them came to a separate small hall in the inner hall, where Shi Song was standing upright and waiting. When An Tong saw it, he secretly admired.
Seeing An Tong coming, Shi Song hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The last general, Shi Song, meet the prime minister, disturb the prime minister's meal, and the last general will be afraid." ”
An Tong smiled: "It's just a meal, what's the matter?" Come, sit down, if the prince has any commands, you can just say. ”
The housekeeper retreated to the door, closed the door, and left the two of them to talk to each other.
Shi Song thanked him, bowed his head and said: "Prime Minister, the prince invites the prime minister to the palace now, the prince wants to invite the prime minister to have a light meal." ”
An Tong's eyes flashed, he looked at Shi Song's clothes, and said, "Oh? Do I need to change my clothes? ”
Shi Song grinned and said, "The prime minister is really the prince's confidant, and the prince also said that the prime minister knows what to do when he looks at the last general's clothes." ”
An Tong laughed and said, "The prince is the one who has no last resort, so I naturally have to obey orders." He opened the door and called in the housekeeper, and said, "You go and find me a set of ordinary clothes, open the east door, I want to go out with Shi Song, don't let others know." ”
The housekeeper quickly found clothes, An Tong changed them in twos and threes, took Shi Song out of the east side door, and walked straight to Zhennan Wangfu.
Cao Ruifang and the other three brothers were not at home, and they went out to play with a few generals from the capital, but they didn't know where, and Donar only got to ask them one by one where they frequented.
According to the previous rules, the curfew would not be lifted until the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but after Cheng Yue managed the traffic, he immediately ordered the ban to be lifted near the pond. Almost overnight, Jishuitan has formed a large-scale night market, with the king of Zhennan in charge, the traders do not have to worry about the lama's forcible seizure, the government's indiscriminate collection of taxes, do not take this opportunity to make more money, isn't it stupid?
Most of them have night markets, and they are in order, the people of Dadu are naturally willing to join in the fun, and the cold weather can't stop the people from eating and drinking, so the three Cao brothers made an appointment with a few familiar city gate generals to drink, which is also one of the important tasks given to them by Cheng Yue.
Backed by the king of Zhennan, the Cao brothers can be described as calling for wind and rain in Dadu, what goods do Ahoma need in the Southern Song Dynasty, many of them have to go through their brothers, Cheng Yue's many shops in Dadu are also taken care of by them, this year, the three Cao brothers can be described as smooth sailing, soaring, becoming the dignitaries of Dadu, and the downfall of the past is not the same.
When Donar found the three Cao brothers, they were already drunk in the private seat on the second floor of the restaurant, and they had a relationship with the seven or eight Mongolian and Semu generals at the table. There is no way, the generals like this atmosphere, they can't follow their temper.
Donar walked up the stairs, and when he saw that the three brothers were really here, he was very happy, and stepped forward to hug his fists and smiled at Cao Ruifang: "Brother Cao, someone is invited." ”
Cao Ruifang fixed his eyes and saw that it was Donal, he was taken aback, hurriedly stood up with his two younger brothers, hugged his fists and said, "Yes, I will go with my brother." ”
The generals at the table were immediately dissatisfied, but they were not stupid, they just thought that Cao Ruifang didn't want to offend the people who came, and they could help a little.
A color-eyed Qianhu said lightly: "Why should Boss Cao pay attention to this person? It's never too late to go after drinking. "In his capacity, the various Shangshu don't have to pay attention to it.
Cao Ruifang smiled, leaned into the ear of Semu Qianhu and said a word, the face of Semu Qianhu changed immediately, and he hurriedly picked up the wine in front of him and smiled at Donal: "I don't know if it's an adult, I'll punish myself with a glass!" He threw himself up and drank.
Donal smiled slightly, noncommittal.
The generals at the wine table were all stunned, they were all Su Guard generals, and the official residence was a good thing, who is this person? Why can Cao Ruifang and the others be so respected?
Cao Ruifang smiled and arched his hand: "I'm very sorry, I have important things to do, take the first step, and the two younger brothers below will accompany you." ”
The generals hurriedly said: "Boss Cao, please don't send it." ”
Donar bowed slightly, said goodbye to the generals, and left in a hurry with Cao Ruifang.
The two left, and then someone asked Semu Qianhu, "Who is this person?" Is the official position bigger than us? ”
Qianhu patted his head, and said fearfully: "Of course, this person's official position is not big, but it is not something we can afford to provoke." If anyone in the army dares to disobey the order, they will have to take off their heads! After speaking, he quietly pointed to the two Cao brothers with his hand, and the Cao brothers smiled silently.
The generals suddenly realized, and someone whispered: "Why do I say it's familiar?" ”
Qianhu made a silent gesture and whispered: "The person who came didn't report his home, it can be seen that the noble man doesn't want to attract attention, so let's not mention it again." ”
The generals nodded frequently, and the Cao brothers also nodded in acquiescence.
An Tong followed Shi Song to the Zhennan Palace, Shi Song knocked on the side door and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, please go through this door today." ”
An Tong smiled and said in his words: "As long as there is a door, it will be fine." ”
The two entered the door, all the way to Cheng Yue's study, just arrived at the door, the door had been pushed open, Mrs. Song greeted the door with a smile, and said, "Please Prime Minister, the prince has been waiting for a long time." ”
An Tong smiled: "Thank you, Mrs. Song." "Step in.
Cheng Yue saw An Tong coming in, got up and smiled: "Prime Minister An Tong, you haven't eaten, have you?" ”
