Chapter 420 Gathering together

In the thirty-third year of Yuan Zhang, on the sixth day of April, a white stone came out of the Xiongshi Gorge in Kuanzhou. Inside was a jade statue of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl. The jade statue was rough, but it had a bit of charm, very much like Mo Lingfeng. As soon as the news came out, it spread immediately. All over the world.

On the evening of the 10th day of April, officials from Kuan, Ji, and Wang prefectures gathered in Mo Mansion.

It was a rainy day, with lightning and thunder, and the night was pitch black. Mofu's lanterns were lit every five steps, illuminating the wet corridor. The violent storm hit the roof ridges like drums and trumpets.

The cold air suddenly hit, invading people's bones, and the front hall of Mo's house was even colder. Two charcoal basins were placed in the corner of the house to dispel the cold.

Cheng Taishan was the first to arrive in a carriage. Yinbei's coir raincoat and Ruo Li stood guard at the door. Seeing the carriage stop, they immediately stepped forward, held up a big umbrella, and helped Cheng Taishan get off the carriage.

Cheng Taishan stepped into the stagnant water with his mud clogs, holding the hem of his clothes in one hand, and buried his head on the stone steps. Within a moment, half of his knee pants were already wet.

When he reached the verandah, he took off his mud shoes and walked under the swinging lantern.

The wind and rain were swaying, but the Mo family was able to stand firm, with lightning and thunder, which was a shocking move.

He even hoped that the rain would be heavier, so that this night that would go down in history would not be ordinary.

He first went to the flower hall to change clothes, wash his hands and face, and then went to the main hall.

The main hall is neat and orderly. There are no flowers, plants, soft furniture, flower screens, etc. There are only cold and stiff tables and chairs. In the middle of the room is a sandalwood Taishi chair. The backrest and armrests are connected to form five screens, which is solemn and rigorous.

Below the Taishi chair, eight armchairs are arranged on the left and right, and behind the armchairs is an embroidered pier.

Cheng Taishan stood in the middle, thought for a moment, and did not sit in the east and west seats. Instead, he sat on the second chair on the east side, as he did in the morning dynasty.

The servant brought tea cakes and placed them on the small table. Cheng Taishan picked up the tea cup and took a sip first. After putting down the tea cup, he picked up an apricot and ate it.

After him, Jeju Prefecture official Huang Yunshu and three other people arrived. Yin Bei only greeted them at the door. The three of them shivered in the pouring rain. When they walked onto the verandah, most of their clothes were already wet.

At a glance, Huang Yunshu saw a pair of guards standing at five steps. The guards were fully armed and could draw the sword out of the sheath at any time by pressing the scabbard with their hands.

His heart immediately rose, and he looked around at the situation as he walked - the sky was dark, and the places where the fire could not reach were condensed into thick ink, making it impossible to see a single star.

He whispered: "There is no turning back tonight."

The other two people ignored him and walked straight in. They also changed their clothes in the flower hall. When they walked to the main hall, they saw Cheng Taishan, also dressed in Tsing Yi, sitting there eating and drinking leisurely.

They all breathed a sigh of relief that Cheng Taishan was here. Cheng Taishan, with a smile on his face, asked them to take a seat.

Huang Yunshu was impatient and sat down at the foot of Cheng Taishan without saying a word. The other two people looked around and saw that there was only one chair left in the east and four empty chairs in the west. They figured out where to sit.

The two of them did not dare to sit down in front, so they sat directly on the embroidered pier behind Cheng Taishan and waited helplessly.

Cheng Taishan said "brother, brother," and arranged for them to drink tea. At the same time, he handed them a bamboo basket of cherries: "The cherries that came off the boat, each has his own taste."

When each of them pinched a pill, he took back his hand and said that "over there" it was forbidden and the dock was controlled. Fortunately, with proper management, the ship could always come back after it went out.

Huang Yunshu ate the cherries wholeheartedly, spitting the pits into the slag bucket, and echoed that the docks were full of human beings who could walk in the water and listen to orders, so the prices of salt, tea, and grain could be stable.

Cheng Taishan also said that workshops were opened in three states, making hundreds of dollars a day, and the state capital was prosperous. Huang Yunshu couldn't agree anymore, and said hurriedly: "Brother Cheng, is General Mo going to... want to..." tonight?

He didn't dare to speak the rest.

Cheng Taishan swallowed back the gossip and wiped his hands with the handkerchief: "I don't know." He put down the handkerchief: "I only returned to Kuanzhou half a day earlier than you. I have been teaching my children at home these half days, and I don't know more than you." ,certainly--"

He picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Whether it's true or not, I'm still on this boat."

Four Wangzhou officials walked in outside the door. He turned to look and said with a smile: "It's impossible to get off the ship at this time, right?"

Huang Yunshu shook his head like a rattle: "No, I don't mean that."

Then he secretly said: "Cheng Taishan looks at the rough branches and leaves, but his thoughts are very deep, and he can't say anything."

Cheng Taishan asked Wangzhou officials to sit down - Cheng Taishan didn't even take the first seat, and they didn't have the guts to put their butts on the first seat. They sat down silently and went to eat the cherries that were so warmly received.

Huang Yunshu was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Brother Taishan, you and General Mo are closer than us on this ship right now. No matter what the situation is tonight, please say a few kind words for us. We are old officials, pretending to be In the new bottle, it will inevitably be inappropriate, so please give me some advice."

Cheng Taishan nodded: "Don't worry."

Just when everyone was about to express their gratitude, the sound of Jin's iron armor slapping the scabbard suddenly sounded outside the room.

Yin Nan and Nomad Qing entered with swords in their hands, sat down on the west side boldly, and kept silent.

Yin Nan grabbed a piece of mung bean cake, stuffed the whole piece into his mouth, and chewed it with his mouth closed, as if he was eating raw meat.

He Qing quietly spat out a cherry pit, not daring to lean over and throw it into the dreg bucket. He could only hold the pit in his hand, feeling very tormented.

At this moment, Yin Bei walked in with a smile on his face: "Mr. Wu has arrived at the flower hall."

Huang Yunshu was keenly aware of the change in Yin Bei's name for Wu Jin, and looked at each other with other state officials. He had an idea in his mind, and quickly cheered up, not daring to neglect, while Yin Nan and Nomad Qing stood up in confusion.

Cheng Taishan put down the tea cup, cleared his throat and stood up, standing with his hands down.

Seeing this, the others also stood up.

It rained heavily and after the house was quiet, the sound of rain filled my ears. The water column under the eaves made a splash, and the fire swayed in the rain. The servants were like clay sculptures, leading the way from left to right. Yin Bei walked to the door and greeted Wu Jin entered: "Mr. Wu, everyone is here."

Wu Jin stepped over the threshold, wearing a soap-colored futou and a blue tunic with a collar. Standing among a group of people wearing the same clothes, she stood out even more.

He walked to the first seat on the east side and stood there, with a smile on his face and said kindly: "The war is temporarily suspended, and there are still many chores that have not been sorted out. Colleagues, please take a seat, and I will arrange them one by one."

Amidst the sound of clothes being rubbed, everyone sat upright, and Yin Bei also sat under Yin Nan's head.

The servant brought hot tea. Wu Jin took the tea cup and shook it when he opened the tea cover with his left hand. After drinking the tea, he looked at You Mu Qing and said, "Xiao You."

Nomad Qing stood up and held his hands in his hands: "The end will be here."

"From today on, you will be the commander-in-chief of the capital army. From now on, you will be the commander-in-chief of the Mo army. There will be three supervisors in the three states. Yin Nan will be the supervisor of the Kuanzhou army, leading 5,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. Dou Lanhua will be the supervisor of the Jezhou army. The envoy will lead 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry. Zhong Tao will be the military envoy to Wangzhou, and will lead 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. The third eunuch can recruit troops on his own, and his military status will be handed over to Kuanzhou. The military envoy cannot leave the station without military orders. "

"Yes."

"sit down."

Nomad Qing sat down, his expression unchanged, but he couldn't help but raise his head and look at people through his nostrils. (End of chapter)
