Lu Xiangsheng turned to the main gate of the garrison mansion, but saw that the entire street had already been under martial law, and the officers and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition held the entrance of the street and did not let anyone pass.

Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward to report his identity, and when the officers and soldiers saw that he was wearing a Zhongjing crown on his head, wearing a dark cloud pattern official uniform, and embroidering brocade chickens on his son, he knew that he was a second-class officer, and he did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly notified the Chinese officers. After a while, the Chinese officer hurriedly arrived, and gave a military salute to Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Liu Jing, the commander of the fifth military camp and the lieutenant of the military academy in the superintendent division, see Lord Shangshu!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng saw that Liu Jing and his subordinates were clean and tidy, and there was a world of difference between them and the local guards guarding the city gate, and he liked it very much in his heart, and secretly thought that Zhou Yanru was also strict in governing the army. He hurriedly explained his intention and asked Liu Jing to speak.

Liu Jing was embarrassed and said: "Lord Shangshu doesn't know anything. The Governor has decreed that no one shall be allowed to enter the Governor's Profession before the seat is dispersed, and no one shall be allowed to pass the ceremony. I don't dare to disobey my life..."

Lu Xiangsheng originally heard the noise and frolicking in the courtyard, so he held back a fire, and when he heard Liu Jing say this, he immediately became angry and said angrily: "Could it be that when there is an emergency military situation, the Inspector will ignore it?" ”

"This..."Liu Jing snorted, "Master Inspector said, unless the Holy Lord comes, no one or anything else will be ignored..."

"Nonsense!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't suppress the fire anymore, pushed Liu Jing away, and strode inside. Liu Jing had the intention to stop it, but he was also very unaccustomed to Zhou Yanru, and Lu Xiangsheng was also a second-class member, so he couldn't afford to offend either, so he had to hurry in, wanting to report to Zhou Yanru quickly.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng entered the garrison mansion, he strode straight to the backyard, and Liu Jing couldn't catch up at all. As soon as I stepped through the door of the flower hall, I saw that the backyard was full of more than a dozen tables of banquets, and the banquets were full of delicacies. The guests attending the banquet were all richly dressed and looked to be either gentry or wealthy. The rest are the young women who accompany the wine, all with bewitching makeup and revealing clothes. These people were drunk and ugly, and no one noticed that Lu Xiangsheng walked into the courtyard.

Lu Xiang was furious when he ascended, thinking that the soldiers were fighting bloody battles on the front line, although the food was sufficient, but it was only coarse tea and light rice, and sometimes the war was urgent, and he couldn't even take care of hot food. It's good that you guys are good, the rebellion hasn't subsided yet, and this Chengtian Town is not an ordinary prefecture and county, but a military town where officials and soldiers are stationed, how can you spend time drinking here behind closed doors?!

But Lu Xiangsheng is not Huang Degong after all. If it was Huang Degong, maybe he would have flipped the table. Although Lu Xiangsheng also has a strong temperament, after all, he has been an official for many years, and the city government is much deeper, so at this time, the strong anger passed through the banquet and came to the door of the back hall of the garrison mansion.

There was only one table of banquets in the back hall, and all the guests with the most distinguished status sat down, and of course, the host of the banquet, Zhou Yanru. At this moment, Zhou Yanru did not wear an official uniform, but wore a silk brocade robe, eating and drinking red, and there were two women next to him who diligently persuaded him to drink, and the other guests kept slapping their beards.

I only heard Zhou Yanru smile proudly: "The wine is okay." Su Dongpo said: There are guests without wine, there is wine without food, the moon is white and the wind is clear, so a good night. Today, there are guests and wine, and there are more beautiful people to accompany them, if you only drink with your head bored, and don't talk about the past and the present, won't it seem that we are vulgar and unbearable, and we are laughing and generous? ”

Immediately, someone complimented: "I wish to hear the high opinion of the Inspector." ”

"Say what? Let's talk about this Chengtian Town. Zhou Yanru deliberately flirted, shook his head and said, "This city was originally built by Zhongshan during the Warring States Period, and the Chengtian Army was set up to defend it in the Tang Dynasty, so it was named." But the people nearby call it 'Niangzi Pass', because according to legend, Princess Pingyang, the daughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, once led the Niangzi Army to garrison here. According to the opinion of this superintendent, the name of 'Niangziguan' is far better than 'Chengtian Town', what is the meaning of 'Chengtian'? If it's a 'lady', it's wonderful, hahahaha! ”

The crowd burst out laughing. Lu Xiangsheng couldn't listen to it anymore, and immediately protested: "What the Inspector said is extremely true. Although the princess of Pingyang in the past was a woman, she had the courage to help Gaozu raise troops against Sui, and made countless military exploits, which can be passed down through the ages. Unlike some people, the front-line soldiers fought bloodily, but he sang and danced in the rear, drunk and dreamed of death! ”

These words were so harsh that everyone was shocked. Zhou Yanru didn't know Lu Xiangsheng, he was stunned at first, and was about to get angry, but he saw Lu Xiangsheng wearing a second-grade official uniform and looking extraordinary. He was a very smart person, and he reacted immediately, got up and laughed: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be Brother Jiandou!" The Chinese army doesn't know anything, but it doesn't know everything, and the younger brother should have been demoted to greet him. ”

Liu Jing, who had just arrived, had to bow down and apologize, but scolded Zhou Yanru in his heart: Didn't you let anyone enter the mansion, and didn't let you pass through? Now let me take the blame!

Although Lu Xiangsheng was angry, he still gave Zhou Yanru a serious salute. Zhou Yanru smiled a little embarrassedly: "My brother originally wanted to build a fight and brother would have to go to Jingcheng in another three or five days, but I didn't want my brother to arrive today." Please come to the table, this banquet is just right for Brother Jiandou to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't have the heart to have a drink with Zhou Yanru, and immediately said without humility or arrogance: "The military situation on the front line is urgent, Xiangsheng doesn't dare to delay the major affairs of the superintendent, so he should hand over the military affairs first." ”

Zhou Yanru had no choice but to announce the dismissal, invited Lu Xiangsheng to the back hall, freshened up and changed clothes, and came over for a long time. Lu Xiangsheng had heard that Zhou Yanru was proud of his talents, extremely arrogant to others, and very good at figuring out the emperor's mind and doing what he liked. When I see it today, I despise him even more. However, he was dismissed, and he was newly appointed, so he had to conscientiously hand over all military affairs. It mainly includes the detailed affairs such as the garrison position, troop strength, and military quartermaster of each unit of the official army, as well as the location and strength of the remnants of the thieves, all of which are clearly explained in 1510.

Although Zhou Yanru tried his best to listen, firstly, he did not know anything about military affairs, and secondly, he had just drunk a lot of alcohol, and at this moment the alcohol was attacking, and the more he listened, the more sleepy he became, and his eyes were almost unable to open. When Lu Xiangsheng saw him like this, he was really worried, and secretly wondered what was wrong with the emperor, how could he hand over the responsibility of the superintendent to such a person!

Originally, Lu Xiangsheng had already stepped down, so he could be "unofficial and light". But he really didn't want to see that under the command of Zhou Yanru, the scourge of thieves became more and more intense, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Master Inspector, the two thieves Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are advancing quickly, and Hanzhong is in danger. If you don't quickly mediate Yong, Hao Yongzhong, Li Laiheng and other troops to enter Shaanxi, I'm afraid..."

Who knew that Zhou Yanru smiled and waved his hand, and said to Lu Xiangsheng in a tone of old qualifications: "Brother Jiandou, don't blame Brother for bluntly, you are an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, but you can't be an official." The Donglin Party people already look at you unpleasantly, and you have a big package, how can you not provoke a short and long flow? Although the younger brother is not talented, he only adheres to one thing: everything is subject to the holy decree! The holy temple is far-reaching, and there has already been a holy judgment, and the younger brother only needs to act according to the order. Hanzhong is dangerous, my brother doesn't know it, as for how to mobilize the officers and soldiers, it still needs to be asked for orders! ”
