Although this reception banquet is set up for Xia Xun and Zheng He, no one dares to persuade more wine, because everything such as reading the edict is in the Ming Dynasty, and tomorrow is the main event Therefore, the wine was drunk quite easily, and the guests from all sides were dealt with, and the banquet dispersed for more than an hour, everyone said goodbye and left, and Xia Xun accompanied Zheng He to the back house.
The housekeeper, the subordinates, and the maids were already waiting there, and they all stepped forward to salute, and a pair of bright eyes in the crowd fell on Xia Xun, when Xia Xun opened his eyes, the person had lowered his head, this person was "Sakura", Xia Xun looked at her, his eyes were a little complicated, of course, this complex emotion was only a moment, and he was perfectly hidden.
The decanting soup was poisonous, and he already knew that.
From this, he had guessed that this Sakura must be from the Tatar side, and he had not yet figured out that this Sakura was trying to assassinate him, whether it was a tribesman for his own personal vendetta, or the intention of the Tatar rulers.
In order to hide her identity, she actually used more than a hundred clansmen, so does she have any other plans besides assassinating herself, in addition to her and her clansmen, and are there more saboteurs against Liaodong.
Zheng He's eyes swept away, and first he saw Sanapova and Yulata, these two girls are blonde and blue-eyed, and their appearance is already prominent, not to mention that they are unusually tall, standing in the crowd and feeling like they stand out from the crowd, and then see the little cherry blossom next to them, Zheng He couldn't help but smile, turned his head to Xia Xun and said: "Liaodong East is a little rough, partial to these women, the complexion is unparalleled, and the grandfather of the country is so blessed."
Xia Xun said with a smile: "My father-in-law said that they were just attached to a few hard-working women sent by the ministry, doing some chores in the house, and giving them a place to live." ” After speaking, he asked the steward, "Has my father-in-law's sleeping place been arranged?"
The steward said respectfully: "Lord Huibutang, everything has been arranged." ” Xia Xun nodded and said to Zheng He: "Then father-in-law, let's go and rest, I still have some things to deal with after leaving Liaodong for so long." ” Zheng He's position is too low than him, Xia Xun can't send him directly to the place where he lives, the difference between the top and bottom, the rules that should be there, if you exceed it, even if it is out of respect, it will be self-defeating.
What's more, even if the eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty did not dare to be arrogant, several chamberlains who had followed Zhu Di for many years were even more cautious and behaved in a proper manner, he was willing to send it, and Zheng He refused to agree.
When Zheng He came to the back house with him, he saw that many officials and tribal leaders such as Zhang Jun, Wan Shiyu, Ding Yu, and Meng Ge Timur did not say goodbye, but waited in the hall, knowing that Xia Xun really had many things to do, so he arched his hand to him, and was led by the steward, and went straight to his bedroom.
Xia Xun turned to a few servants and maids who were respectfully serving and said with a smile: "Okay, you all go about your own business, this governor has just come back, there is too much backlog, and I still need to meet a few people and deal with some confidential official business, so I don't need anyone to serve."
"Yes" Everyone responded one after another, saluted Xia Xun and retreated, Sakura was just a servant, so naturally she didn't dare to behave out of line at this time.
She also said that her performance was flawless, Xia Xun had not yet become suspicious of her, so she still perfectly interpreted her role, her eyes flashed, and she glanced at Xia Xun with resentment, and looked at that look, which appropriately expressed the appearance of a little woman who had not been favored and cared for by her master, and her charming face was very pitiful.
"The Lord of the Ministry has not come back until today, and those tribal chiefs are afraid that they can't wait for a long time, and they will sue the Lord Wan in front of the Ministry Hall."
"If they know each other, it's best not to open their mouths.
Lord Wan is an official who has been raised by the ministry with one hand, who is far away and who is close, haven't you seen Lord Wan waiting outside?"
"Oh, the beardless one is the father-in-law in front of the emperor, don't they all say that the father-in-law looks like a girl and speaks in a voice like a girl, I don't look like it?"
"Father-in-law just doesn't have a beard, who said that their voice and appearance are like women, that's, there is a father-in-law who also loses Ha, have you seen the same as this father-in-law Zheng, who is also tall and majestic."
"I didn't see it, when I hit the governor's yamen, I have been working in the back house."
"I've brought tea to my father-in-law, I've seen him once, and if he didn't have a beard, I'd give it to other men."
"Wrong, wrong, what the father-in-law doesn't have, it's not just a beard" "Hahahaha" A few subordinates, you say a word, I say a word, happy and laughing, Sanabova and Yulata's Chinese has improved a little, but listening to them, I still don't understand seven or eight points, three or two points rely on understanding, flashing a pair of big blue eyes just listen, people laugh at her and laugh, it will not be wrong.
Ulan Tuya was thinking about his thoughts: "Looking at his appearance, I am not suspicious, but the previous Amur and they instigated the rebellion of the various tribes, although the surnamed Wan has beheaded many culprits, but now he is still pursuing them, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be chased after them, as long as they are exposed, I will inevitably arouse suspicion, and if I want to do it, I have to do it as soon as possible."
Just now he returned to the front house, and deliberately glanced at me, this kind of man is some perverts, sent to the mouth of the fresh mutton, he is willing not to eat maybe come back tonight, he will ask me to sleep, at that time, look at him did not drink much, if poisoned, I am afraid that a bite down, he will notice that the taste is different, I have to use a knife.
This man is alert and has a high level of martial prowess, and if he wants to kill him with a sword, in order to be safe, he must first please him, and then wait until he is satisfied and sleeps before he can do it."
When Ulan Tuya thought of this, her eyes were only glowing with coldness, and she did not have the shyness of her daughter's family at all.
From the time she came to Liaodong, she regarded herself as a weapon of revenge, and the "coldness" of her father-in-law Arutai stabbed her heart again, and she has now completely closed her feelings and was only born for revenge.
A few of the subordinates were still laughing.
"Ming'er is lively, the emperor has rewarded a lot of officials, and the news has already been brought back by Ding Dusi and Master Meng Ge, but they are still waiting for the official announcement of the ministry."
"There is also the good news brought by Gonggong Zheng, doesn't it mean that Liaodong will set up three divisions to govern the place, and many people will be promoted to big officials at once, the steward has begun to prepare, and the house has bought forty fat sheep, and the Temur tribe has also sent two big bulls, saying that they are going to roast whole cows."
Cattle are agricultural animals, and they are not allowed to be slaughtered casually, but the situation outside the customs is special, for the tribes that live here and are still mainly nomadic herders, there is no such prohibition, cattle are not only a commodity they can sell, but also a kind of food, so beef can often be eaten here.
Someone laughed: "Hehe, we can feast on it tomorrow." ” Ulan Tuya listened to their answers, and even calmed down: "Wanshiyu is in a hurry, and it is better to start as soon as possible, if he doesn't look for me tonight, then Ming, my big revenge will be avenged."
The next day, Xia Xun was in the governor's yamen, convened the Liaodong generals, shogunate officials, local gentry and celebrities, and tribal chieftains gathered here, and announced the emperor's reward for the Liaodong soldiers, soldiers and civilians.
Now Xia Xun has finally officially announced, the list of rewards for more than 1,000 people, read down one by one by Xia Xun, Wan Shiyu, Zhang Jun and others, some of them are not qualified to attend the lecture, and they have their own boss representatives, but those who can come to the scene, except for a small number of gentry who watched the ceremony, most of them have been rewarded, that is, a small number of gentry who are just watching the ceremony, and there are many children and nephews in the army.
Chen Shou and Tang Jie stood in the crowd, seeing the unheard-of grand atmosphere, Chen Shou said to Tang Jie with a smile: "The Duke of Fuguo is in Liaodong, it is really popular, there was such a big incident in Kaiyuan a few days ago, and now it is still a scene supported by everyone."
Tang Jie said lightly: "It's just a matter of benefit" Chen Shou smiled and said, "Fu Guogong's merits are complete, and he will return to Kyoto soon." ” Concise and to the point, Chen Shou only said this sentence, and then said no more.
The news that Xia Xun will return to Kyoto is the news that Xia Xun deliberately released after communicating with the emperor.
In order to smoothly transfer power to Wan Shiyu and Zhang Jun, who were supported by him, he is gradually reducing his influence in Liaodong, and the news has not yet spread to the people, but most of the senior officials have heard about it.
Chen Shou is not Luo Xun's private party, the relationship between the two is very good, and Luo Xun's perception of Xia Xun also affected him, and at the same time, he really disagreed with Xia Xun's changes in Liaodong, so he echoed Luo Xun and sang against Xia Xun, but he and Xia Xun did not have an irreconcilable contradiction.
After that, on the issue of the Korean envoy's claim for Liaodong territory, he and Xia Xun were comrades-in-arms in the same trench, and their perception of Xia Xun changed somewhat.
He said this to Tang Jie to tell Tang Jie that it will not take long for people to leave Liaodong, but you will be an official of Liaodong in the future, and whether Liaodong is governed well or not, whether you get along well with the bureaucrats in Liaodong has a lot to do with your future, but it does not affect the people of the country.
And just by virtue of his identity, Qi Guogong can't help him, so you'd better not act rashly.
It's just that he is a civil official, Tang Jie is a military attaché, the two didn't have a deep intersection in the first place, and now they can barely catch up with each other, and they are just from Yanjing together.
There was laughter and laughter in the hall, and in the back house, Ulan Tuya closed the door of the room, erected on the table the spiritual seat of the deity attached only to the deceased father Harbara and the lover Abu, and made the final sacrifice, kneeling on the ground, tears flowing To be continued:
