Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liang Feng doesn't want to be alone?  This is obviously a joke.

    Lady Xian didn't even dare to answer the conversation casually. She lowered her head and asked Shang Cheng in a low voice what kind of dishes he wanted to order and what kind of wine he liked. After a while, he put on a short list of meat and vegetables. Of course, the mud seal was not removed.  A small altar of Huo's blue and white flowers.  Shang Cheng didn't ask for a Kabuki or a dancer. He sat at the table alone, poured himself a glass of wine, and started eating and drinking slowly.

    His drinking capacity was quite good. It was no problem to drink one or two kilograms of high-quality Huo's liquor by himself earlier - it was almost the same amount as a small jar.  However, in the past two or three years, he followed Dr. Zhu's advice and avoided certain things in his diet. Except for the New Year and festivals, he rarely drank alcohol on weekdays. He usually drank some fruit wine, which should be regarded as alcohol.  A drink with very low alcohol content.  If you drink less wine, your ability to drink will naturally decrease over time. After a few glasses of white wine, your depressed mood will be evaporated by the hot alcohol, and your head will gradually become dizzy He knows that if he drinks again,  I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed if I go down there.  It's not that he doesn't understand the principle of getting drunk easily when drinking alone, but it's also because drinking makes you sad. In his current situation, he is most likely to get drunk.  But he still remembered another sentence, which was called "I urge you to drink another glass of wine, and let us share our eternal sorrows"!  Since it can relieve sorrow, why bother talking nonsense?  Drink, keep drinking!  ¡­

    In the end, he didn't get drunk.  It wasn't that he didn't want to drink anymore, but that there was no more wine in the blue and white porcelain jar.

    Since there is no more wine, let¡¯s call it a day.

    He put the wine cup down on the table and walked out of the main room unsteadily.  He didn't say hello to the slender lady standing under the dripping eaves. He faced the cool night breeze and rubbed his cheeks that were a little hot from the alcohol. He tried his best to teach himself to be more awake, and then looked for the way he came, one foot high and one foot low.  Walked away.  He didn't even ask about the money for the drinks.  Jiu Zui understands in his heart, and he is very clear in his mind.  Lao Dao and Li Feng must be hiding somewhere around, but he can't see it.  Going further, as long as he did not order his actions to be kept secret, Lao Dao and the others would definitely pass the news about him in Liang Feng back to the county uncle's house, at least to let people know his current location and where he might go next.  .  In this way, if something like an emergency military situation occurs, others can find him in time; although the possibility of such a thing happening is almost impossible

    By the time he walked through the secluded corridor and came to the alley, Li Feng had already led his green horse over.

    He reluctantly climbed onto the horse's back and led a few guards back without saying a word.

    When he returned to the county uncle's house, the third watch drum was just ringing.  Hey, Liang Feng, who arrived at midnight, had already gone home at midnight. Even if he was on the road for half an hour, he would have spent most of the remaining hour alone and drank a jar of liquor - should he?  Are you proud, or should you be discouraged?

    Gao Qiang, who was on duty at the county uncle's house, reported that Jiang Tuan was still in the study, as if he wanted to see him for something.

    Shang Cheng was shirtless, washing his hands and face with water splashing everywhere. When he heard Gao Qiang's words, he opened his arms and asked, "What's the matter with him?" Jiang Tuan's family had already arrived in Shangjing.  I have been making arrangements to buy a house.  But after looking at many places, I always felt that it was not suitable, so I stayed in this county uncle's mansion for the first time.

    "He didn't say."

    Shang Cheng twisted the towel and frowned.  Something seems a little wrong.  There were several great guards around him. Shitou followed Sun Zhongshan to Jiazhou, Baokan served as a captain in Geping Daku in Yanshui, Suza took charge of a riding camp under Shao Chuan, and Duan Si went to conquer.  In Dongbo, the only ones left now are Gao Qiang and Li Feng.  Li Feng had not been with him for a long time, but Gao Qiang was the person he promoted when he was a false superintendent. Although he did not hold the post of captain of the guard camp, he was actually the number one guard leader around him, as was Jiang Tuan.  It's so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar - what could happen that would make Jiang Tuan not even tell Gao Qiang?  Could it be that Jiang Tuan made some mistakes?

    He couldn't help but think so.  The key reason why Jiang Tuan was able to enter Beijing was that the Ministry of Industry had been suffering heavy losses in the liquor business and was in urgent need of a capable official like him to turn the situation around.  He also lived up to the trust of several officials from the Ministry of Industry. After arriving in Beijing, he first participated in the revision of the liquor contract between the Ministry of Industry and the Huo family, and then organized the leasing and sale of liquor workshops in various places by the Ministry of Industry in an orderly and relaxed manner.  He easily handled the two official affairs that others were afraid to avoid, and he became a slightly famous figure in the six departments.  What Shang Cheng is worried about is the leasing and sale of liquor workshops by the Ministry of Industry.  Based on his understanding of Jiang Tuan, it was impossible for Jiang Tuan to have a hand in it - old Jiang did not lack that little money, let alone that kind of person; he was just afraid that someone would be jealous and secretly set up a trap to cause harm.  There is some truth to his conjecture.  He brought Jiang Tuan to Yanzhou. He had been working as a clerk in a small place like Xima Zhi before. Now his vision may not be so narrow, but he may not be familiar with some despicable tricks, and the possibility of being fooled accidentally is not  does not exist¡­¡­

    He slowly took the heatWiping his face with a towel, he quietly thought about what happened to Jiang Tuan. After a long while, he couldn't think of any clue. He threw the towel into the wooden basin and ordered: "Have someone boil a pot of bitter tea and bring it over."  He left Gao Qiang and came to see Jiang Tuan.

    As soon as Shang Cheng saw the door, Jiang Tuan was sitting in the study, drinking bitter and astringent tea one after another.  This scene reminded him of his time in Yanzhou.

    Jiang Tuan smiled and raised the bitter tea water in his hand to him and said, "I estimate that when you come back home, you will definitely ask for the bitter tea water, so I taught them to prepare it first." After that, he gave it to Shang.  Cheng poured a bowl.  Then he said, "You went to drink? Who did it?"

    "How did you know? Did they tell you?" Shang Cheng took the tea and took a sip.

    "You smell like drunk, and you still need others to tell me?"

    "Ha!" Shang Cheng raised his head and laughed, grinning and said, "I was a little bored at the Ministry of War and couldn't find a place to vent, so I went to drink alone."

    If it were another person, Shang Cheng would definitely not expose his shortcomings. If a person drinks too much alcohol, he would not be able to make others laugh if he told it.  But in front of Jiang Tuan, he had no such scruples.  Chiang Kai-shek had seen the panic scene when he was just pretending to be in charge of Yanshan.  At that time, there were refugees and enemy invaders in the Yanshan Guards. The civil servants ignored the generals and refused to obey. When he said a word, he could not find anyone who would obey him. He asked all the prefectures and counties to report the disaster situation, and several counties under his nose  It could drag on for three or four months; rumors and rumors that asserted that his false governor would not last long have never stopped He really gritted his teeth at that time, and then the situation of Yanshan Wei happened  For those who suffered from mother-in-law, will the scene two years ago have to happen again now?  Only when you have endured the wind and rain can you see the rainbow?

    Of course Jiang Tuan didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he followed his words and asked, "How dare the Ministry of War still make you angry?"

    Shang Cheng's tone paused and he said: "of course. I am just a member of the Shangzhu Kingdom; those who can take care of me can line up from the left and right gates all the way to the Zhuque Gate." He spoke in his mouth, but in his mind  But it's turning rapidly.  No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was something more in Jiang Tuan's words - the word "dare" had a profound meaning - and judging from the meaning of the words, hiding the words would still be beneficial to him.  As for what kind of benefits it would bring, he couldn't figure it out for a while - could something happen that made the Ministry of War not dare to offend him?

    Jiang Tuan smiled and asked: "I heard today that Zhen Huaichun went to Zhengzhou six days ago?"

    "You mean Zhen Xiang?" Shang Cheng was a little dizzy by his words of picking at the fence here and there, and he felt more and more that Jiang Tuan had something to say.  He nodded and said, "I went to the Ministry of War meeting today because I heard that he went to Zhengzhou." He looked at Jiang Tuan.  Zhenxiang went to Zhengzhou, what does this have to do with you?

    Jiang Tuan nodded and said nothing more, lowering his head to drink tea.

    Shang Cheng waited for a while and saw Jiang Tuan drinking tea and refilling water tepidly, with no intention of speaking, and he started laughing at that time.  He originally thought that Jiang Tuan had caused some trouble and wanted his help to resolve it, so he didn't tell Gao Qiang; now it seemed that he must have been mistaken.  Just by looking at Lao Jiang's leisurely look with his legs crossed, he knew that this guy must have heard about something good, so he hurriedly came to tell him the good news and take credit.

    Since it was good news, Shang Cheng calmed down.  Even if Jiang Tuan wants to show off, he is not in a hurry. Anyway, he won't be going to the office tomorrow. Let's see who can endure it.  So he also held a cup and drank tea slowly.

    Jiang Tuan and he were old colleagues. Seeing his expression, he knew he had a flaw. He laughed and revealed the mystery: "I was eating out with two colleagues this evening. One of them has a brother-in-law who works in Xuzhou."  I work in a workshop." His voice became lower and lower, and finally it was almost like a whisper.  "He quietly told us that just half a month ago, the work department workshop in Xuzhou had fired glass"

    Shang Cheng opened his mouth and took a deep breath.  There were only two sentences running in his mind, "half a month ago" and "glass", and he didn't even pay attention to what Jiang Tuan said next.  Xuzhou is only more than 300 miles away from the capital, and the horse will arrive in a day. Why hasn't any news spread to the capital?  Chang Xiu, Li Mutian, Xiu Yang Heng, none of these people told me about such a big matter. What's the reason?  Well, it can't be said that there were no rumors, at least there was something fishy about Zhenxiang's business trip to Zhengzhou.  The dignified Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War was in charge of the Eastern Japanese strategy. Duan Si went to sea, and Yan Jiu was building a lot of construction projects in Shandong. No matter how busy he was, he couldn't go to a place like Zhengzhou where the garrison was only two battalions, right?  This guy definitely didn't go to inspect the defense; maybe he just wanted to avoid the limelight of the glass.

    Jiang Tuan¡¯s words go further: ¡°¡­it is said that there are people walking around secretly in the court now, agitating to write a letter to impeach the Ministry of Works, saying that the Ministry of Works is hiding on an imaginary glass.?The large-scale war has wasted countless people's fat and money.  Especially Mr. Chang Xiuchang, saying that he has nothing to say but no morals. For the sake of his own reputation, he does not care about the people's efforts and does not hesitate to spend money and silk. He even falsely refers to Dongshan as Dongyue, just to cover up his temporary omissions"

    Shang Cheng nodded and finally understood what was going on.  It is false to impeach the Ministry of Industry, but it is true to point at the imperial court's policy of inhibiting land annexation, and the goal is to bring down Chang Xiu.  It seems that the glass is indeed burned out.  But Zhang Pu must have sensed the sinister intentions of these people, so he blocked the news.  When these people jump out one by one, hand over the articles of impeachment, and create a certain momentum inside and outside the government, Zhang Pu comes back and announces that the glass has been successful, and the so-called impeachment will naturally disappear, and then slap him back with a slap in the face.  It is difficult for those who oppose the suppression of land annexation to escape unscathed.

    He couldn¡¯t help but admire in his heart, tsk tsk, this method is really sharp and ruthless
