Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 227 The Landlord's Friendship of the Lanzhou County King

Zhu Zhanchang and Zhu Gaojiu set out from Shuntian Prefecture, bringing food, grass and luggage, and the guards to Shaanxi Fansi first. The army was not brought out from Shuntian Prefecture at one time.

The soldiers brought from Shuntian Prefecture were mainly responsible for the transportation of grain, grass, and cargo, as well as a part of the magic battalion, and the follow-up supplies would arrive in batches.

The main forces of the Chagatai Khanate were the Shaanxi vassal, the Sichuan vassal, and the Seven Guards of Kanxi.

The Shaanxi vassal is different from modern Shaanxi, including part of the location of modern Gansu. As for the seven guards of Guanxi, it refers to the seven guards set up in the west of Jiayuguan (now northwest of Gansu, north of Qinghai and east of Xinjiang). The officials were hereditary from each tribe, and the local military and government were all managed by them. The leaders of the seven guards were all descendants of the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty.

An Ding Wei, A Duan Wei, Qu Xian Wei, Han Dong Wei, Shazhou Wei, Chijin Mongolian Wei, Hami Wei, these seven Guanxi Wei are geographically adjacent to the Chagatai Khanate, but because their ancestors seem to be related The troubled Xinjiang, although they are all descendants of the Yuan Dynasty, but the kind that do not communicate with each other.

They played a buffering role between the Ming Dynasty and the Chagatai Khanate, but after all, they were not our race. These guards were not very obedient, and the Ming Dynasty did not have strict jurisdiction over them. part of the DPRK, but more like a vassal relationship.

They first arrived at Lanzhou Prefecture, where they headed to Ganzhou, Suzhou, and finally Jiayuguan. After Jiayuguan, it was the Western Regions.

When we arrived at Lanzhou Mansion, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it was still a year before the fifteenth day. Zhu Zhanzhen planned to hold a banquet to entertain Zhu Zhanchang and Zhu Gaojiu.

Lanzhou Mansion was Zhu Zhanzhen's fief, and since he came here, he naturally wanted to show the friendship of the landlord.

"Second uncle, fifth brother, come to my mansion for a rest tonight, I will also prepare some feasts for you, let's take a rest, these days are busy on the road and have not rested well."

Zhu Gaojiu had no intention of rejecting it: "Since I arrived at Lanzhou Mansion, it is natural to try the specialties of Lanzhou Mansion. Zhanzhen, Second Uncle will not be polite to you. I must give me some local specialties."

Zhu Zhanchang understood that his local characteristics must be special colors.

Zhu Zhanzhen also understands that he is familiar with this matter, where else should he go?Call the manor directly, who can stop him?
Lanzhou Prefecture heard that Zhu Zhanzhen was back, and it was greeted by a group of nobles and clansmen at the gate of the city. Over the years, Zhu Zhanzhen took great care of these people, and everyone who had money made money together.

After all, the tyrants were returned in full, and the common people's three-seven accounts were divided. Zhu Zhanzhen played this set clearly, and all these lords and clans offered him.

Unlike Zhu Zhanchang, who is afraid and respectful of the nobles and lords in Guangzhou, the nobles in Lanzhou are all oily, but the people's lives have not improved, and the people of Guangzhou are really one heaven and one underground. .

At this time, Zhu Zhanzhen's mansion was entertaining distinguished guests, and these tycoons still wanted to accompany them.

Leaving the big team outside the city, Zhu Zhanchang and Zhu Gaojiao entered the city with a hundred guards and went directly to Zhu Zhanchang's county palace. Zhu Zhanchang also specially brought Zara, Zhu Gaojiao winked and signaled him not to bring it, How to play with this?
The most taboo thing to do at night is to bring your wife, even small ones.

But there are a lot of viruses out there.

Ai, it's a matter of plum, what's the big deal about warts, although there are less fancy diseases in this era, but they don't have the ability to protect.

Zhu Zhanzhen doesn't want to touch these unclean people, especially those arranged by Zhu Zhanzhen. My second brother is very happy and jealous. Who knows what he can arrange? Be at ease.

Zhu Zhanzhen immediately arranged a dinner party with twenty tables, but it was still put away. A large part of those with insufficient status and financial resources did not come in.

Zhu Gaojiu is also a good drinker. He is not good at drinking, but he likes to drink it, so there are people who are constantly toasting Zhu Gaojiu at the banquet, but Zhu Zhanchang doesn't drink a drop of alcohol.

"Fifth brother, why don't you drink? Why don't you show your second brother face when you come?" Zhu Zhanxun pretended to be a little unhappy.

"Second brother, my mother explained that drinking is not good for preparing for pregnancy, so I specifically told me not to drink, and brought my side concubine out, why do you think it is, I think? I have to bring a big fat boy back." Zhu Zhanchang sighed helplessly, let the Crown Princess carry the blame.

Zhu Zhanzhen laughed and said to the people around him, "My fifth brother is so miserable, and he has to be controlled by his mother when he is so old."

It could be heard that he was deliberately ridiculing, but Zhu Zhanchang was not annoyed. The second brother behaved badly, and even killed someone in Lanzhou Mansion. Zhu Di arranged for a censor to come and watch him, so there was no need to care about him.

Of course, if he offends me and goes too far, then don't blame me.

However, the fact that Zara was brought out was partly due to the continuous descendants, and the Crown Princess was really anxious.

"Second brother, where is your concubine Li Shang?" Zhu Zhanchang asked.

When Zhu Zhanyu heard Li Shang's name, his face became unhappy, why?Because Li Shang gave him a son, the eldest son.

Two years ago, Li Shang and Zhu Zhanzhen's Concubine Zheng were pregnant almost at the same time, but Concubine Nei Zheng gave birth to a daughter who died early a year ago. Instead, Li Shang gave birth to a big fat boy who was very healthy and lively.

The prince concubine gave Li Shang a lot of things for this, but Zhu Zhanzhen had an eldest son born from a concubine of a different race, which was not good for Zhu Zhanzhen.

"In your own room." Zhu Zhanzhen said nonchalantly.

"I will arrange a time tomorrow to meet her. After all, my concubine Xiaozhu and her are sisters. Xiaozhu specially explained that she must meet her in Lanzhou this time, and also prepared a gift for her nephew. , to him tomorrow."

There is no way to refuse this reason. Zhu Zhanzhen's face is as uncomfortable as eating shit, but there is no way, he nodded and said, "Tomorrow."

Zhu Zhanzhen didn't want to talk to Zhu Zhanchang anymore, so he went to another table by himself.

After a while, a group of beauties came to dance, and they all had the faces of the Western Regions, looking enchanting.

At this time, someone came to toast Zhu Zhanchang. He was a suave young man, and his dress was much more refined than the group of squires.

"This is the son of the Shi family in Shaanxi, Shi Yuntong. The Shi family is a first-class big family. The business of the family stretches across eight provinces, and many people still hold official positions in the court." Zhu Zhanyi came to introduce Zhu Zhanchang. .

"Shi Yuntong has met His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County, and he has long heard that His Highness is a first-class young hero. When he saw it today, he was indeed suave and unrestrained. Yun Tong admired him, and hoped that he could offer His Highness a glass of wine."

The words were quite pleasant, Zhu Zhanchang picked up the teacup and said, "I'm not good at drinking, so I use tea instead of wine."

In Shi Yuntong's eyes, Zhu Zhanchang's refusal to drink would despise him.

Looking at Zhu Zhanzhen, Shi Yuntong smiled again: "Your Highness, you like the dance of these dancers, but you don't know which one of these women in the Western Regions, tsk tsk tastes great."

The elegant young man had a lewd expression on his face, and Jin Yu was stunned. Although he looked like a scholar, he stripped off this expensive layer of clothing, and his words and demeanor were completely inferior.

Zhu Zhanchang didn't answer his words, he just talked about his opinions on women in the Western Regions. Obviously, he didn't think of these women as people at all, but basically regarded them as tools. Brother Qian's status quo is also the same for Zhu Zhanzhen. He seems to think that Zhu Zhanzhen should be the same.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanchang ignored him, he became even more excited: "Your Highness heard that you also brought a woman from the Western Regions, why don't you call out and dance together to help His Highness."

Zhu Zhanchang finally ignored him this time, turned to him, and looked at him blankly, as if he was looking at a corpse.

"Yang Song, take it down."

Zhu Zhanchang didn't talk nonsense, Yang Song was by his side, and immediately pressed it on the table as soon as he received the order.

"What happened to Zhan?"

Zhu Zhan's sudden action at the banquet made Zhu Zhan's face pale in shock.

"Second brother, Shi Yun agreed to inquire about our army's intelligence. I suspect that he colluded with the Chagatai Khanate, acted as a spy, and was taken back to the army for trial."

"Impossible, impossible, how could Young Master Shi be possible? It must be a misunderstanding. Zhan, you have just been released from the ancestral mansion, but you can't act so arrogantly. Don't be sent to Grandpa Huang by ginseng again."

Zhu Zhanyi sneered, he didn't want to cause trouble today, after all, the Western Expedition is more important, Lanzhou Mansion is just a stopover for one night, you Zhu Zhanyi want to disgust me, it's fine to exchange politeness between brothers, but you let this kid disgust me , then don't blame me for being ruthless.

You dare to speak madly and let my concubine come out to dance and cheer, that is my concubine, even the side concubine is also a concubine, my woman, I'm sorry you touched my bottom line.

Zhu Zhanchang naturally understood who asked him to come.

Leaning on Zhu Zhanzhen's ear, he said, "Second brother, what I brought Zara out this time is only my own imperial guard, second uncle, a few generals, and second brother. You know, ordinary soldiers may know about me. I brought a concubine, but I don't know who I brought with me, and because I was a female family member, I followed behind the team, and basically didn't show up, but this Shi Yuntong knew who I brought with me, and knew the details of our army. There must be someone. I told him that I now have every reason to suspect that he is a spy of the enemy army, and now that spies have appeared before the great cause of the Western Expedition has begun, it is too dangerous to not investigate clearly."

Zhu Zhanchang deliberately made things very serious.

I thought that Shi Yuntong would deliberately anger Zhu Zhanchang, let him beat someone like he was in the palace, and he could falsely accuse Zhu Zhanchang, but the reason given by Zhu Zhanchang was unusually formal.

I took it back to investigate first, but when I took it away, everyone knew what Shi Yuntong would experience next.

Your dude is different from my dude.

"Take it away, bring it back to the barracks today, and interrogate it strictly."

"Second Highness, Second Highness save me." Shi Yuntong shouted.

Zhu Gaojiao was lying on the table, looking drunk with a shallow smile. I don't know if he was really drunk or watching the excitement happily.
