Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 527

It sounds trivial, but it's actually easy to get busy.However, in the past three or five days, on the streets of the capital city, several merchants happily changed their plaques, and several big families had an imperial bestowed "good" character hanging in the middle hall, and there were no other changes.What they got in return was the hope of survival for the [-] victims. The streets of the capital city were cleaner, the moat outside the city was wider and deeper, more children were walking around with fagots on their backs, and the north of the city was much more lively...

Not to mention how the capital of Dayue has changed bit by bit, but only to say that the censor at Jinhe Estuary, who fell ill for "no reason", finally returned to the capital half a month later, and of course he also met the master behind him, Patriarch Linghu.

The grievance of the censor was short of snot and tears telling about the hardships along the way, and the most important thing was how presumptuous the generals defending Jinhekou were.

Patriarch Linghu was impatient when he heard this, so he scolded, "You don't need to ask for credit, the Linghu family will not treat you badly. Tell me quickly, what happened to Jinhekou? Why did the old fox of the Fang family deliberately change the guard?"

The censor quickly wiped away his tears, and said emphatically, "My lord, you don't know that there are many big boats lined up at the mouth of the Jinhe River. After a while, the officer took someone to investigate, and they saw clearly that they were pretending to be There are tens of thousands of loads of grain!"

"What? Grain!" Patriarch Linghu's eyes widened in shock, and his subordinates directly stroked off a few beards. He didn't care about the pain, and asked, "Is it all shipped to Dayue?"

"That's right, my lord. It stands to reason that large-scale grain transactions have to go through the imperial court, but those grain transport ships are not controlled by anyone at all. The lower officials questioned the guard at Jinhekou, but the damn warrior actually said that the imperial court did not have this document." Inform, no food is allowed out of the river mouth!"

While talking, he touched the back of his head with some fear, and said bitterly, "The lower official wanted to question him a few more words, but the warrior directly knocked down the lower official. The lower official was wronged, my lord must help Xiaguan is the master!"

Patriarch Linghu waved his hand, impatiently pushing him away, "Go back and take good care of your health, don't worry, you won't forget your achievements."

"Yes, my lord." The censor was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only retreat with resentment on his face.

Patriarch Linghu was left talking to the other three patriarchs for a while, and finally the third master Linghu passed the conversation first, "Brother, do you think there is something strange about transporting grain to Dayue?"

"Of course." Patriarch Linghu's slender fox-like eyes almost narrowed. "It was reported earlier that Da Yue's drought has reduced production, and those untouchables are waiting for the opportunity to rise up. Not only that, the two princes of Da Yue, because they were robbed by Gong Zhiming The emperor, unwilling to be reconciled, has already rushed to the capital together. But there has been no news recently. The old man was in a hurry. He didn't expect to hear about the Jinhekou, so he suddenly realized. That old fox of the prime minister must have reached some agreement with the emperor. The guard of Jinhekou was replaced under the pretext of conveniently transporting food to support Gong Zhiming. Gong Zhiming got the food, appeased the refugees, and had more confidence to resist the two anti-king armies!"

"If this is the case, it would be a pity. If we knew it earlier, we would firmly hold the Jinhekou. At that time, even if Gong Zhiming has great skills, he will not be able to appease the refugees who are about to starve to death. Even if Da Yue falls apart, we will not benefit, but I won't be thinking about Gong Zhiming's future debts."

"That's the reason. However, what agreement does the emperor have with Prime Minister Fang, so that the emperor actually wants to support Gong Zhiming under the name of 'enemy'?"

Everyone was puzzled, and no one could tell.

Patriarch Linghu also couldn't figure it out, but he knew a truth, an enemy's enemy is a friend.

So he said, "If Gong Zhiming's integration appeases the people of Dayue and gives him a chance to breathe, our life will be difficult. Why don't we take advantage of his current weakness and put him in a stumbling block? If everything goes well, maybe And get rid of this evil."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, unable to guess what good idea Patriarch Linghu had.

Patriarch Linghu didn't keep them confused for long, and simply threw out his idea.

"Let's also send food to Dayue!"

"What? Send food to Dayue?"

After everyone was astonished, they shook their heads like rattles, "It's not that we are reluctant to part with money, nor is it that we are reluctant to part with rice grains, but we are actually sending grain to Dai Viet. Isn't it helping Gong Zhiming?"

"No, we are sending food to Gong Zhiming's life-and-death rivals, those two princes!"

Patriarch Linghu finally revealed his ultimate goal, "It's just a few boats of grain, and even if we lose money, it's only a few thousand taels of silver. If we get rid of Gong Zhiming, we'll make a profit."

"Lord Linghu's words make sense, it's indeed a good idea."

After thinking about it, everyone felt that the plan was feasible, so they all nodded.

"It's just that you must keep it a secret!"

Now that the matter was settled, everyone got together to discuss it, and the third master Linghu was not even worried about his cronies outside the house, Chang Sui, so he personally went to close the door.

It's just that they were talking lively, and they were also wary that the partition wall has ears, but they didn't know that someone gently opened a gap in the tiles above their heads...

There are many people and strength, and the four great families worked together. It took almost only five or six days to gather thousands of loads of grain, and then transported to the mouth of the canal, loaded the big boat, and floated down the river to the mouth of the Jinhe River.

The originally busy Jinhekou had just been idle for a few days, and General Wang was training soldiers as usual, but he heard a report from his own soldiers that Old General Chu begged to see him, so he quickly picked him up.

Old General Chu, who had been guarding Jinhekou for nearly three months, looked thinner but looked good.

General Wang bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile, "What is the old general's order, just send someone to say it, why did you come here in person?"

Old General Chu glanced at the surrounding guards, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Let's go, find a quiet place."

General Wang thought about it, and invited the old general to his residence, a small house not far from the mouth of the river.

General Wang's wife and children did not come, but an old servant. Seeing that the master brought the guests back during the meal, the old servant added two dishes.

Old General Chu saw that the dishes were not very rich, so he asked, "Your family is living in poverty, don't wrong your wife and children, you have to get the money here at the mouth of the river!"

General Wang shook his head, "After the Western Expedition, the General sent someone to send money to the last general at regular intervals. Life at home is very good, the old general can rest assured."

It was only then that Old General Chu remembered that Gong Zhiming did give the Zhengxi Army special preferential treatment, not to mention the monthly silver for the disabled soldiers, even the meritorious generals were also generously subsidized.Even when he was feigning death and living in seclusion, he never stopped.Speaking of it, this is also the most loyal willingness of Zhengxi Army, after all, no general will do this.

The two chatted a few gossips before Old General Chu remembered the business, so he said with a smile, "Boy, our big deal is here."

"What big deal?" General Wang heard Old General Chu say that, but he was a little quack, which was very funny.

Old General Chu ignored this, and said excitedly, "Although we ensured that the grain transport ship passed the river mouth and supported the General, the grain was collected by Fang's family or the empress after all, so it is not our ability. But Just now I received the news that the four great families in Kyoto have also raised food to support the two anti-kings who are against the general. This is almost a time of sleepiness, someone sent a pillow.

Under our noses, if we let them succeed, where will we put our face? "

General Wang's eyes lit up, "What does the old general want to do?"

"Of course it is to steal his mother!" The old general Chu drank his wine bowl in one gulp, full of pride, "If you don't swallow the fat that is brought to your mouth, you will be a fool!"

General Wang also nodded, "If you were far away, you would still be powerless, but now it is easy."

Old General Chu poured him wine, but asked solemnly, "Boy Wang, you have to think carefully, if you and this old man robbed the 'fruit' of the Four Great Aristocratic Families, they might be against you. You have military power , but you can’t take care of your family members in Kyoto. If you make a decision, the old man will send your family members to the island. The goddess is like spring all the year round. I heard that the women on the island work and get paid like men, and they are as peaceful as a paradise. "

General Wang hesitated for a moment, before sending the grain boats across the river, at best, he was thinking of the great general's kindness and support. General.Although it wouldn't be said that he betrayed Dong Hao, he didn't have any position to speak of.

But if he didn't pledge allegiance, he would suddenly feel a loss in his heart.Manly man, who doesn't desire to make contributions and seal his wife and son?
Staying in Donghao is to be a small guard for the rest of his life, but if he is loyal to the general, he might be able to go to the battlefield and do great things...

"Okay, I will ask the old servant to go back to the capital with the old general's staff to transfer the family."

"Okay, simply! He's a good guy!"

Old General Chu smiled happily, and the two of you shared a bowl with each other. After drinking up the spirits and eating the food, they left.

It was another sunny and sunny day. There was no difference between the ebb and flow of the tide on the Jinhe River, and the current was always turbulent. In this weather, the view was good, and the boat was the safest. Therefore, the merchant ships who had waited for two or three days at the mouth of the river were all Go through the gate.

Last night, more than a dozen large ships came from nowhere, with heavy drafts. When the defenders inspected them, the owner stuffed a few heavy ingots of large silver ladles, and the defenders returned with the "porcelain" results.

When crossing the estuary today, no one complained, and the boat owner breathed a sigh of relief.Just wait for another seven or eight days to arrive at the field, hand over the goods, and he will complete the task.

In the end, it was too early for him to rejoice. When he had just moored at a small pier to get some water that night, there was a sudden sound of a gong, and hundreds of soldiers and horses with knives and guns rushed up.

The guards dressed as boatmen and warriors became prisoners before they could react. Only then did the super big ship hidden in the river chazi come out.Old General Chu smiled triumphantly and boldly, and said loudly, "Brothers, let's go to see the general's meeting ceremony, and it's finally all ready!"

"The general is mighty, the general is mighty!"
