Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 278: Hit him up three days later!

As his informant in Datong and one of the few old friends, Jia Hui naturally prepared some life-saving means for Cui He.

It just so happens that only Jiang Huan is left in Datong in the Jiang family. The rest, including his father Jiang Sheng and his two brothers, have either come to the capital or are on errands in other places. No one is here to suppress him, so the most dangerous person in Datong Town will not be there. Now it’s the commander-in-chief and the governor, but Jiang Huan himself.

So Jia Hui taught this poem to Cui He.

If Cui He went undercover in Datong and exposed what happened to so many Shanxi merchants, there would at least be a place where they could protect their family.

This was taught to him when Jiang Huan and his party returned to Luoyang from North Korea to receive rewards a few years ago. Jia Huan invited Jiang Huan to provide one-stop service in bathhouses, theaters and brothels.

Although Jia Hui and Jiang Huanlong had not met several times in total, the last time they met was when Jiang Sheng came to Yanjing to report on his work in the early years.

However, in the few times they met, Jiang Huan never beat Jia Hui, and he was even punished and did not dare to come out to see anyone for several days.

From then on, Jiang Huan recognized Jia Hui as his eldest brother.

After Jia Hui's record of destroying two countries in a row came out, Jiang Huan no longer had any objection to Jia Hui.

Cui He also knew for the first time the origin of the four families in Datong.

"Uh-huh." Jiang Huan nodded, "You can also call them the Wuhuan family, but their family name cannot bear it alone. A dozen people died within a few days of changing their name to Wuhuan. Even the head of the family was dead, so he still used Karasuma because he couldn't bear it anymore.

After pulling out a futon from a corner, Cui He sat down face to face with Jiang Huan again.

Although the northern Shanxi surname was Qi in that battle, since the base of Wei Ming's command was intact, the idea of ​​​​defining Shanxi in one battle was definitely not possible. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides by the Wei family and his son, the Qi army surrounding Taiyuan also quickly Withdrawing back to southeastern Shanxi, Shanxi at that time formed a situation where the Qi army occupied northern and southeastern Shanxi, and the Liang army relied on the central and southwestern Shanxi to confront the Qi army.

In fact, not only Jiang Huan, but also the Wang, Jiang, and Gao families dislike this colleague who always likes to show off his family background in the name of the Millennium Family.

Jiang Huan scratched his chin: "This kind of thing that can be regarded as a timely help made the Karasuma family exposed. When the Wei family and his son took Liang Jun to Guanzhong to die, it was the Karasuma family who was the first to rush into Taiyuan City. , and in the end they were rewarded and became the 'powerful outsider' among the four families in Kaizhen, Datong."

Although his ancestors were also part of the army that conquered northern Shanxi, his father died too early and had no chance to tell him these things.

"U-Karasuma's family?" Cui He swallowed and asked with some difficulty.

Jiang Huan curled his lips. He didn't like this family. He found them annoying when they raised their heads and looked at people through their nostrils. Especially when his father always liked to threaten him with the 300-pound eldest daughter of the Karasuma family. He hated it even more.

They occupy the territory outside the customs, but all they have to eat is the death salary and the money from raising cattle and sheep. They are not even willing to sell some salt to the Mongol tribe. They live in panic. Can you believe this kind of thing? "

He had heard of the Karasuma family, but had never come into contact with them.

But at this time, news came from the north that the Karasuma family was attacking Datong under the banner of Daqi. The Liang army was immediately in a state of morale, and my ancestors seized the opportunity and beat Wei Ming away."

"There is nothing we can do about it. The army that conquered the Jin Dynasty had a very difficult time attacking Dai County. Not only did Wei Ming personally lead the troops, but even Datong's border troops went south to fight with our army.

At that time, the Three Jin Dynasties had more than 70,000 and less than 80,000 Liang troops, of which 40,000 were in Taiyuan City. Therefore, the strategy decided at that time was to contain the 40,000 troops under Taiyuan City and besiege the city, and then the other seven Tens of thousands of soldiers defeated many people, and used the fastest speed to wipe out the southern and northern Shanxi. Finally, an army of 170,000 troops joined forces in Taiyuan and annihilated the Wei family and his son in one fell swoop.

"So, Shi Bingyuan will definitely offend the Karasuma family?" Cui He asked.

But there is no way, just like the Beijing Fan of the Shui Family in Liaodong Town, the Karasuma Family has the same role as them, to contain and balance.

The Xianbei people originally changed their surname to Huan when they changed their surname to Han, but their activity range was too far north. As a result, they have been bullied by the Weiwei, Turks, Uighurs, Khitans, Mongols and even Jurchens. However, all their industries are outside the customs. I don’t know if they are reluctant to part with the family business or if they really don’t want to leave. "

There are frontier troops led by famous generals in front, and Taiyuan City defenders are watching behind them. At that time, the 40,000-strong army that entered northern Shanxi was almost defeated by Wei Ming. My ancestors almost ordered the withdrawal of the army at that time.

Jiang Huan shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. Although the Karasuma family is extremely annoying, they are not without their merits. The arrogance brought by pride also makes them unable to lose face and engage in smuggling.

But who would have thought that Wei Ming was not in Taiyuan at that time, he went to Datong!

There is no way, this family is hanging out with the guards outside the Great Wall to the west, and they almost never go back to Datong Town unless there is no big deal.

"Ah? Didn't you say that the eldest daughter of the Karasuma family weighs three hundred pounds? How can she live a poor life even if she is so rich?" Cui He said subconsciously, and then he wanted to slap himself twice!
It's over, it's over, forget that Jiang Huan is the most distasteful to the Karasuma family's 300-pound eldest lady!
However, contrary to Cui He's expectation, Jiang Huan just laughed when he heard this.
"Hehehe, the 300-pound lady. Hehehe. Finally, finally, hahaha."

Jiang Huan smiled more and more wildly, and Cui He almost wanted to leave first.
Thinking about laughing, it seemed that it was wrong to think that this was the venue of his family temple. Jiang Huan suddenly stopped laughing and suddenly reached out his hand to grab Cui He's shoulders: "Hey. From today on, nothing can threaten you. It’s mine!”

"Ah?" Cui He looked confused.

"Hehe, Karasumahui finally found a scapegoat who is willing to marry her! Hehehe." Jiang Huan's smile became even brighter.

"Huh?" Cui He's eyes widened, "Miss Karasuma is married?"

Oh my God, someone finally wants that 300-pound lady!

"Hehe, isn't that right?" Jiang Huan suppressed her smile, "But it's not about getting married, it's about getting married!"

"I heard he was a son of the Karasuma family's old clan. His father saw that he was incompetent in literature and martial arts. He had nothing but a good skin and looked like a peerless idiot. He began to worry about the rest of his life.

Then he took him to Karasuma's house for a banquet, intending to try his luck at the banquet to see if there was any chance. The result was unexpected, it was because of his good looks that Karasuma Hui took a liking to him!

Although he himself was reluctant, his father, the Karasuma family and Karasuma Hui all approved of this marriage.
Anyway, there is no need for him to lead the charge for the Karasuma family. Karasuma Hui's 300-pound physique also prevents the Karasuma family from marrying her. After all, with her physique, it is not a marriage but a feud.
Hehe, I guess Karasuma Hui made himself look like that just to avoid getting married! "

Cui He nodded subconsciously.

"The wedding is scheduled for next month, so hurry up and keep it simple!" Jiang Huan laughed again, "It's good now, Karasumahui is married, and my old dad has nothing to threaten me anymore!"

"Ahem." Cui He pretended not to hear what his father said to his son, but when Jiang Huan became interested, he held his hand and complained about his father. He didn't care that Jiang Huan might get angry and beat him. Cui He coughed twice quickly, interrupting Jiang Huan's thoughts.

"General, let's continue talking about Shi Bingyuan!" "Tsk, okay." Jiang Huan pouted, feeling that Cui He, this little brother, didn't give him much face, but he still returned to his seriousness.

"Although the Karasuma family is very stubborn and never engages in smuggling, the people under him still have to eat! Shi Bingyuan was probably smuggling things secretly in private, and Junggar found him through some unknown method. he!"

At this point, Jiang Huan suddenly stopped, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Cui He's shoulder again: "Oh no, actually you don't have to be so anxious to arrest Shi Bingyuan! Follow his line to see what he is doing. Isn’t it good to sell it somewhere?”

"Actually, the imperial court has also thought about this, but the Taiwei said it was not necessary. Even if they were caught, the artillery they resold would not be able to return to the Central Plains. Just cut this line.

Moreover, there is no conflict between arresting Shi Bingyuan and tracing which tribe sold it to Junggar! "Cui He explained.

At worst, Xiu Yi and a few of Shi Bingyuan's people would go on a trip.

"Okay, as long as you count." Jiang Huan let go of Cui He's shoulders and slowly leaned against the pillar, "Then go ahead and do it boldly. A certain family will bring their brothers to help you!"

"That's great! General, will the time be set in three days?" Cui He breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was finally done, and he was dragged to his family's temple by Jiang Huan to listen to him in vain. I’ve been telling stories for so long!
"Okay, let him go after three days!" Jiang Huan agreed, patting her chest.

Finally, there is finally something that can be done!
. . . . . .

How Beifang plans to carry out the arrest is their business. Jia Hui doesn't care. It's useless to control them. They are far away and there is no possibility of micro-management.

Therefore, just believe that Jiang Huan and Cui He can handle this matter.

Although Jiang Huan always makes mistakes, he never goes wrong in what he needs to do. Just trust him.

Furthermore, there is another more important matter that requires the whole family to take action at the moment.
"Hey, move over there, you're stepping on the hem of my skirt!"

In the carriage, Li Wan, who was wearing a lot of makeup and a shawl today, poked Jia Hui next to him with his finger.

"Ah? Okay." Jia Hui quickly moved to the side.

Just like Li Wan's make-up, Jia Hui naturally wore her own court clothes today.

Qingyuan Chiluo Yi, Qingyuan Chiluo Shang, holding a tooth wat, wearing a jade cicada eight-beam crown with a cage scarf on his head, and a large brocade ribbon of clouds, cranes, and flowers in green, yellow, red, and purple hanging on the back of his waist.

According to the ceremonial system established by Taizu in the first year of his reign, officials are required to wear court uniforms during the celebration of the Great Sacrifice, Zhengdan, Winter Solstice, and Holy Festivals, as well as when issuing imperial edicts for amnesty, entering the table, and passing on the system.

Today is the holy day, so of course you have to wear court clothes.

Holy Festival, also known as Qianqiu Festival, refers specifically to the emperor's birthday
The Supreme Emperor celebrates his seventieth birthday this year!
Who said that the Emperor's birthday is not a holy day? As long as there is a holiday and a feast, it must be Holy Day!

The Emperor's Holy Day is a rare event!

The Emperor has never celebrated a birthday since his sixty-fourth birthday. He said that since his sixty-fourth birthday, he has celebrated his seventieth, seventy-third, eighty-first and eighty-fourth birthdays. If you can still live, you can live until you are ninety or a hundred years old at most.

I don't know where he learned the method from.

But this is good for everyone. If you live your life as the emperor, it will be a kind of torture, not to torture the emperor himself, but to torture everyone except him.

In order to celebrate the emperor's birthday, the entire country was mobilized from south to north, east to west.

The entire post system was used to its extreme. Post soldiers were galloping on horseback with specialties from various places at almost every moment, sending them towards Luoyang at a speed of 800 miles!

Compared with the emperor's birthday banquet this time, Emperor Tang Ming who traveled thousands of miles to send lychees to Yang Yuhuan had to give a thumbs up!

Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, countless ingredients and precious spices were sent to Luoyang. Those who could use dry goods were okay, sometimes a few carriages could handle it, but those who had to eat fresh food were Trouble.

It would be fine if it was just for a few people, but the most troublesome thing was this. He wanted to hold a banquet, which required a lot of food!
There was no choice but to bury the things in the ice foam. Dozens or even hundreds of people, one person and two horses, ran away risking their lives!

It's just that the funds for this birthday banquet are sufficient, and finally no censor comes out to spoil the fun.

The immediate boss of the National Post Station, the usually idle people in the Yamen Military Department's Chariot and Driving Department suddenly became busy, and became one of the most miserable people on this day of national celebration.

The other one is the Shangshang Supervisor in the palace.

The emperor asked Shangshan Supervisor to host the birthday banquet by name, saying that he did not want Guanglu Temple to handle it, saying that what they made was pig food.

Guanglu Temple's arguments were completely useless, the emperor just refused to listen, so all the pressure of the birthday banquet was placed on Shang Shanjian.

I heard that the eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor was so worried that his hair was almost falling out, and even the few hairs he had left were turning gray.
After receiving the emperor's order, the eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Supervisor gritted his teeth and took the dry food, rushed into Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and began to chew books to prepare the menu. The crazy energy of chewing books, even for a noble and noble person. The officials of the Ministry of Rites, who always looked down on eunuchs, couldn't stand it any longer, and went over from time to time to persuade him to take a rest to prevent his sudden death.
"So, are there any good things to try at today's birthday banquet?" Li Wan's eyes lit up with great anticipation.

"That's for sure. If the birthday banquet of four million taels of silver doesn't have something good, let alone the eunuchs working below, even the Holy One will not be able to please him. He has to be served by the old father's bronze crane palace lantern full of paternal love. A few times." Jia Hui twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"What are you talking about? Is this what a minister and a junior can say?" Li Wan didn't understand Jia Hui's laughter at all.

"Tsk, forget it." If you can't understand it, then you can't understand it. Not many people can understand this joke nowadays.

After all, as long as the person involved, King Zhongxin, who was chased by the emperor holding a bronze crane palace lantern, didn't take the initiative to speak out, the people below would definitely not dare to speak out.

King Zhongxin might not do anything to them if they tell the truth, but Princess Zhen has not lost the Holy Family yet!

While talking and laughing, the Jia family's motorcade drove outside the main entrance of Xiyuan.
