Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 577 The Mysterious Guest at the Wedding
When Yang Qian got married more than a year ago, the state capital was also very lively. Now, when the second master of the Yang family got married, it was also very lively.

Of course, the standards and etiquette were quite different. After all, Mr. Yang had no title, and the woman opposite him was not an official, but an ordinary merchant.

Therefore, the liveliness of a wedding is reflected in the flower cars and banquets.

Half of the restaurants in the city were booked. This was not something that could be done simply by having money, after all, it would arouse jealousy and lead to punishment.

But who dares to mess up the Yang family’s marriage?
Moreover, there are rumors that the head of the Yang family, Lord Yang Qian, is in the state capital. He is a figure comparable to a god. Who would not open his eyes? Are you looking for death?

Look at the scene again.

Except for the royal family, all the important people in Jizhou Prefecture came, and they all brought generous gifts.

Of course, the Yang family is not stingy. They will accept everything you give them, but you cannot refuse gifts in return.

Yang Qian, the head of the Yang family, said: The Yang family does not take advantage of others.

There is another subtext: Don't let others take advantage of the Yang family.

Just a little money and you want to get involved with the Yang family? Are you dreaming?

The main table for the wedding banquet was in the backyard of Yang’s house.

In the pavilion.

A small table, three or five dishes and a pot of wine. There were only three people sitting at the table.

Yang Qian, Liu Chuan, and Zhou Tai.

Yang Qian never expected to see Zhou Tai today.

During the Hongwu Dynasty, when the country was at war and the situation was tense, the Hongwu Emperor did not stay in the imperial city to take charge. He traveled all the way to Jizhou Prefecture and came secretly without alerting others. Liu Chuan only knew that the emperor had come to his territory this morning.

The emperor did not show up at noon. It was not until the evening that Liu Chuan passed on the message, and the three of them set up wine in the backyard of Yang's house, ate and talked about things.

Yang Qian did not refuse Emperor Zhou Tai's visit. He could guess why he had gone to so much trouble to come here. But he was an emperor after all, so he must have something to rely on. Yang Qian wanted to see what he could say to him.

Liu Chuan consciously picked up the wine pot and poured wine for the two of them. He knew that he had no right to speak today.

"Zi Jue Yang, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but due to the busy state affairs I never had the chance. Now that I have come uninvited, please don't blame me for being rude." Zhou Taixian raised his glass and spoke calmly, as if it was an ordinary drinking party.

Yang Qian also raised his glass and clinked it with the other person, and then the three of them drank it all together.

"Your Majesty is too polite. Yang Qian's previous dirty work in Shuangqing Mansion is not worthy of Your Majesty's concern.

Your Majesty's presence today is a great honor to the Yang family, and we must drink a few more cups."

Zhou Tai shook his head and said with a smile, "At my age, I don't dare to drink too much. I've been busy with government affairs all day, and even my martial arts have slacked off. Liu Chuan can drink a few more glasses with Yang Zijue today."

Three rounds of drinks.

"Has Lord Yang heard the latest battle report from Donglin Mansion?"

coming!

Yang Qian smiled and said no. He was not in Shuangqing Prefecture during this period, so he could not know these first-hand battle reports immediately.

Zhou Tai put down his chopsticks and said, "Donglin Prefecture has already begun martial law. All men aged 16 and above and under 50 have been lined up and are undergoing the simplest marching and spear formation training on the spot. The granaries in the three surrounding prefectures have already been sealed and all of them have been transferred to Donglin Prefecture for use.

In addition, the Imperial City's Light Feather Camp has already set out ten days ago, and will be able to enter Donglin Prefecture in half a month. All prefectures will need to recruit soldiers. I estimate that at least 300,000 soldiers and 700,000 civilians will be needed."

Zhou Tai did not recite the battle report of Donglin Mansion, but laid out the situation of Donglin Mansion and its surroundings. From these responses alone, it can be known that the content of the battle report must be very bad.

Because what Zhou Tai said was completely in the direction of mobilizing the whole country's strength, rather than the previous plan of using the Donglin Prefecture's soldiers who had been prepared for many years to deal with the war.

In other words, the previous plan has completely failed.

Yang Qian was fine, but Liu Chuan, who was wearing the earphones, had a slightly changed expression. If the whole country was mobilized, Jizhou Prefecture would not be able to escape, and would also contribute manpower, which was definitely not good news for him, a local official.

And the total number of civilians and soldiers is one million? ! Liu Chuan's heart was trembling.

Zhou Tai continued: "Xue Tianbao's strategy is fine, but he took his decisions before the battle for granted. He made mistakes one after another in the face of Yi Chao's counterattack. At present, Guo Chao has switched from offense to defense.

But the intelligence was that the princes of Yi Dynasty were not going to let Xue Tianbao go. They were preparing to counterattack Donglin Prefecture in one go and even take over the entire Hedong area.

Hey, their idea is that as long as they take over the Hedong region, they can divide up the fiefdoms and balance the power struggle that broke out in the country before. "

"To establish vassal states?"

"That's right. But they are targeting our Hongwu Dynasty's land."

Yang Qian wanted to laugh after hearing this. The Little Hongwu Dynasty took things for granted, but ended up losing more than it gained. Now, what they need to think about is not expanding their territory, but how to avoid being invaded by the enemy. You know, there is only one mountain range in Donglin Prefecture that is not considered a natural barrier, and there is no decent terrain to defend.

If they really break in, the entire Hedong region will most likely be in chaos.

In addition, Yang Qian was amazed at the internal struggles among the princes of Yi Dynasty. The brains of these people were even more outrageous than those of Hongwu Dynasty.

The country itself was in internal turmoil and civil war, and was finally gathered together by external invasion. Instead of thinking about how to take the opportunity to quell the internal strife, it thought about counterattacking and seizing other people's territory.

Yang Qian took a sip of the wine and suppressed his smile. But he still didn't speak, because he knew that the emperor would ask for something next.

"The war is intense, and the entire Donglin Prefecture is in danger. If Xue Tianbao is defeated again, the people of the Yi Dynasty will come in large numbers, and I don't know how much damage it will cause and how many people will die.

But if Lord Yang is willing to lend a helping hand, I don't ask for much, I just hope that Lord Yang can shock Donglin Prefecture. I just hope that the 200,000 soldiers can be safely withdrawn from Lingshan. "

After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he took out a box from his arms and pushed it in front of Yang Qian.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"Yang Zijue, you have a high level of cultivation, and you can't give away ordinary things. This item was obtained by the royal ancestor by chance. It is called "Tianmen Sutra" and is said to be the secret to becoming an immortal. Yang Zijue might as well take a look and see if you like it."

The secret to becoming an immortal? !
Yang Qian couldn't help but be curious when he heard these four words. After all, what he wanted now was really the word "becoming an immortal". The road ahead was uncertain, and he urgently needed a direction or guidance.

At the same time, Yang Qian also understood that once he received this thing, as long as Zhou Tai was not cheating, he would have to go to Donglin Mansion to help Donglin Mansion stabilize the situation. At the same time, this would be equivalent to once again being tied to the Hongwu Dynasty.

After thinking for a while, Yang Qian reached out and picked up the box on the table. When he opened it, there was a jade disc inside.

The divine consciousness probed in but did not trigger any prompt on the experience panel.

What on earth?
