Lord of the House

At the end of June, it was the summer weather, and Jiangning City was steaming like a roast. Standing outside Donghua Gate, from a distance, there seemed to be hot steam coming out of the city head, making the majestic Donghua Gate. The tower also looks distorted. Those who have time to do good things will smash the eggs and smear them on the rocks, and they will be cooked in an instant.

Except for the occasional pedestrians resting in the shade of the willows along the riverside, the post road outside Donghua Gate could not see the shadows of carriages and horses passing by for a long time...

At this time, smoke and dust rose from a distance, and although the sound could not be heard from a distance, the experienced guards of the city knew that there were fast horses coming from a distance, and thought to themselves: In such a hot weather, you can still ride your horses like this. Yes, even if people can handle it, so can horses.

Five fast horses galloped from afar, their hoofs eager to run for thunder. All five were brown armor with knives and big bows on their backs, with blue and black belts tied around their pockets, and earth-colored uniforms under their armor. Chuanyi Kuaiqi——Seeing the arrival of the station horses in such a hurry, it was only regarded as another bad news; the small school on duty did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went down to the city gate to check in front of the city gate, and asked: "Dare to ask this Where did the five soldiers come from?"

He galloped to the downstairs of the city gate, and the courier at the head got off his horse, took out a black iron plaque from his arms, handed it over, and said: "Huaidong Hou, Zhedong, Huaidong Zhizhi envoys have a special fold to come to Beijing to present the saint. , please do it for your convenience..."

"Could it be that the Marquis of Huaidong won another battle in eastern Zhejiang?"

"The victory was passed down a few days ago, how can victory be so easy to win these days?" Huaidong Yiqi, who was the leader, laughed.

"Everyone is saying that Marquis Huaidong is the reincarnation of Wu Quxing, the military **** of my Dayue Dynasty, and all the generals under his command are the reincarnations of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals - I don't think it is false. If others want to win a battle, they will use their milk-feeding energy. I can't get it, but Marquis Huaidong leads the troops, it's as easy as digging something out of one's own pocket," Chengmen small school heard that it was Huaidong's messenger, and his mind was settled a little, grinned with yellow teeth, squinted and smiled, and flattered. "Master Jun, don't think I'm exaggerating, I've been guarding this Donghuamen for some years, and I heard from other places, how many things are not frustrating to hear, but I'm looking forward to you Huaidong Junye. I can go to Jiangning twice more..."

At this time, a carriage went out of the city. The carriage was of extraordinary rigor, with a sunshade canopy and a veil hanging down. Only two people could be seen in the carriage. There were four servants behind the carriage. Listening to the conversation at the gate of the city , There was a soft snort from the carriage. In the silence of the city gate, where only cicadas chirped, the cold humming sound was clear, as if he was disdainful of the compliment of Huai Donghou by the Chengmen school. The squire was very imposing, and knew that Jiangning had now become the imperial capital, and that there were as many nobles as crucian carp crossing the river, and they were all characters he could not afford to offend. He humbly avoided the Huaidong Yiqi and let the carriage go out of the city first.

The carriage went out of the city gate, galloping fast on the hard soil road that was scorching hot, and the wind blew the hanging yarn away, but the two people seated opposite in the carriage had just been unloaded by the Northern Zhejiang System. Dong Yuan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, who went to Beijing to report his duties, and Yu Pijiang, who was newly appointed to know the affairs of Haozhou.

The most inexplicable and profound hatred these days is jealousy. Moreover, Lin Bie promoted officials who were not from the imperial examinations in Huaidong. How could he agree with Yu Bijiang, who came from the serious imperial examinations——Study Zihanmen studied hard For ten years, I wanted to use this to climb the Dragon Gate. I saw that others could find a new way and occupy a high position. How can I balance my heart?

Listening to the Chengmen Primary School touting that Lin Fu was the star of Wuqu and the **** of war was alive, how could Yu Bijiang feel at ease?

"Shu Zi's success," Yu Xinjiang was sitting in the carriage, seeing Dong Yuan's stern expression, he wondered if he was thinking about the war in eastern Zhejiang, and said, "Speaking of the Kuaiji Victory, it is the Master Dong who has the most credit, if Master Dong was not there. Hang Jia presided over the defense and dragged the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels to the point of collapse and low morale. How could Shuzi pick up the fruit so easily? Huaidong's application for merits did not mention the merits of Mr. Dong at all, which is annoyed. !"

"..." Dong Yuan let out a sigh of relief. He had just left his post in northern Zhejiang, and the Huaidong Army won a great victory over 10,000 enemies and recaptured the city of Kuaiji on the west bank of the Cao'e River. How can he look good?

Although Yu Xinjiang comforted him so much, in the hearts of more people in Jiangning, they thought that Dong Yuan's role in northern Zhejiang was insignificant and not worth mentioning, and the transfer of Dong Yuan from northern Zhejiang was an item made by the imperial court. The most correct decision, even at this time, some officials questioned whether it was inappropriate to transfer him to Huaixi to preside over the defense...

This made Dong Yuan somewhat embarrassed when he arrived in Jiangning.

Yu Bijiang saw that his words made Dong Yuan's face soften a little, and then said: "Shuzi's complacency is only for a while, the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels have assembled a large army in Xiaoshan and Shanyin, and the Huaidong army will inevitably fall a big somersault - when the time comes, we will Look at their faces!"

Dong Yuan was in a complicated mood. Although he would not be as wealthy as Yu Bijiang, he directly blurted out his curse and hoped that the Huaidong Army would defeat the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in Kuaiji, knowing that the Huaidong Army really defeated the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in Kuaiji. Jiang Ning's life would never be easier, but the Huaidong Army was so powerful on the Eastern Front that he could not let out a wave of grievances in his heart.

At this moment, there was a car driving in front of you, and there were also several riding along with you. There were several people sitting under the sunshade of the carriage, all with extraordinary bearing.

When Dong Yuan first came to Jiangning, he didn't know too many people. Seeing those who were very popular but didn't recognize them, Yu Bijiang's face suddenly became tense. The carriage was coming from the mouth of Jinchuan River, and Dong Yuan could somewhat guess that the people who made Yu Pijiang unhappy were probably the Dongyang Township Party or people closely related to Huaidong.

The two cars crossed each other in the blink of an eye, and Yu Bijiang said, "All the clowns jumped onto the girders—the one sitting on the south side is Sun Wenbing, a descendant of the He Gang, and the others don't know each other."

Dong Yuan turned his head and glanced, the carriage was getting farther away, and several people in the carriage were also turning their heads to look at them.

The biggest difference between Lin Fu and others is that he has gathered a lot of people of all kinds, regardless of their background. There are several fathers, sons, uncles and nephews of the Sun family. Scholarly underestimated, now all of them are important figures in Huaidong.

Dong Yuan sighed in his heart and said nothing.

*********

"Dong Yuan has been in Jiangning for the past few days, but he has been close to the Yu family and his son." Sun Wenbing watched Dong Yuan's carriage drifting away, turned around, and followed Lin Mengde, who came from Chongzhou to Jiangning this time. , Zhou Guangnan said, "They should go to Sanliu Zhuang..."

Sanliu Zhuang is located at the east end of Quyang Town and on the west bank of Moling Lake. Sanliu Zhuang was originally the property of the Qu family. After the Qu family was given to the Zhu people, including Sanliu Zhuang, many farm houses were handed over to officials.

After Chen Xiyan became the first assistant, Wu Party officials greatly increased their influence in the DPRK and China.

In order to further strengthen the momentum of the Wu Party in Xinjing, Chen Xiyan, Yu Xinyuan and other Wu Party leaders invested in the purchase of Sanliu Village by the Moling Lake, and moved the Xixi Society, which is far away from Jiangning City, to a nearby location. Become a gathering place of humanities.

Lin Mengde said: "Before Dong Yuan joined the Wu Party, the adults had expected it in advance, but I didn't expect him to be so straightforward..."

Sun Wenbing thought the same thing, Dong Yuan's identity was never comparable to Yu Pijiang's. Even Yu Xinyuan, the father of Yu Pijiang, might not be able to match Dong Yuan's prestige. He has been in Jiangning for the past few days. There are restaurants and teahouses in Xinjiang, and there are deliberately flattering to please - this may not be able to lower this attitude if it is replaced by others.

But Dong Yuan's biggest disadvantage is that he has no faction support. Although he had made peace with Yue Lengqiu before, that was when Yue Lengqiu came to Jiangning at the beginning, and there was no one to rely on. After that, Yue Lengqiu supported Deng Yu and Tao Chun. What was the benefit? First of all, they were given to the Changhuai Army and the Huinan Army, and then Dong Yuan was finally thought of.

Even this time, Yue Lengqiu was also worried that the Changhuai Army stationed in the Liangliang was too strong in front of the Hehuai defense line. He also hoped that Huaixi would have a general to preside over and provide strong support for the Changhuai Army from the side and the back. It was the first one. Those who agree with Chen Xiyan's transfer of Dong Yuan to Huaixi.

If Yue Lengqiu was firmly opposed, and the situation in northern Zhejiang was closely related to southern Hui, how could it be so easy for Chen Xiyan to transfer Dong Yuan from northern Zhejiang?

At this time, Dong Yuan deliberately formed a relationship with the Wu Party, which is not puzzling. Sun Wenbing added: "Dong Yuan will be in Huaixi, and there are rumors within the Wu Party that Dong Yuan wants to make great use of Wu Party officials - I am afraid that he will not be able to use them. How long will Wu Dang regard Dong Yuan as his own..."

Sun Wenbing accompanied Lin Mengde into the city, and went to Lin Xuwen's mansion first, rushing Lin Xuwen back from the political party, and met in front of the house.

"Lin Xiang..." Lin Meng got off the carriage and bowed to Lin Xuwen.

"Uncle Mengde, when did you have such a relationship with me?" Lin Xuwen laughed, clinging to Lin Mengde's arm and entering the house together, Zhou Guangnan and Sun Wenbing followed, and Lin Xuwen asked as they walked, "Uncle Mengde and Guangnan are now Huai. East's God of Wealth, why do you have time to come to Jiangning?"

"The God of Wealth," Lin Mengde said with a wry smile, "Zhedong is fast, very glamorous, my side is miserable!"

Lin Xuwen laughed and said, "You are still frowning when you win the battle, what's the matter with those who lost the battle?"

Zhou Guangnan said later: "Your Excellency intends to borrow hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Huaidong Bank for military resources, and Huaidong Bank is also in short supply. When I came to Jiangning this time, Master Lin and I were to hand over the accounts of money and grain to the Ministry of Households. The second is to come to Jiangning to raise money - Jiangning's big households are always more than Huaidong..."

"There are a lot of big families in Jiangning," Lin Xuwen sighed when he heard this, "He said that Xie Chaozhong had only been in charge of the Imperial Army for a year, and he spent 200,000 taels of silver to buy a large house in Xicheng a few days ago. , intends to tear down and build his grand general's mansion..."

The new emperor ascended the throne in Jiangning, Jiangning established a new capital, Yongxing Emperor and Chen Xiyan both have the ambition to revolutionize the old and make new, but the Jiangning regime inherited the shortcomings of the bureaucracy of the old dynasty~www.readwn.com~ How can it be possible to fundamentally change in a short period of time Get rid of it?

Xie Chaozhong won the trust of Emperor Yongxing, and jumped from the command of the small guard camp to the command of the imperial army. He and Yu Xinyuan became in-laws, taking advantage of each other and gaining power.

Lin Mengde and Zhou Guangnan looked at each other and smiled. If Jiangning had a clean government from now on, how could Huaidong have a chance?

Leaving aside all kinds of greed in Jiangning city, Lin Mengde mentioned the encounter with Dong Yuan when he entered the city just now, and asked, "Dong Yuan has almost ten days in Jiangning, why is the matter of Huaixi still happening? Haven't decided yet?"

Lin Xuwen said: "Although Chen Xiyan had the intention to transfer Dong Yuan from northern Zhejiang and send him to Huaixi to take charge of the defense, he did not expect that Huaidong would cooperate like this, and Dong Yuan agreed so simply - what did Dong Yuan do when he was Jiangning? To organize the defense of Huaixi, the DPRK and China have not yet come up with a clue..."

"..." Zhou Guangnan smacked his lips and said nothing.

It has been a month since the main force of the Qingzhou Army was besieged in Yangxin, and urgent letters are delivered almost every day. Dong Yuan cooperated and was transferred from northern Zhejiang. As for the defense of Huaixi, Jiangning actually dragged it to ten. Tiandu hadn't come up with a clue yet - Zhou Guangnan, who was used to Lin Fu's rhythm, felt unbelievable how slow Jiang Ning's decision-making was.

Regarding the fact that Dong Yuan and Wu Dang got close, Lin Xuwen thought of another thing and added: "With the help of Yu Pijiang, Dong Yuan added a ready-made mansion by the Moling Lake, and moved his family from Hangzhou to resettlement. …”

"Dong Yuan is determined to be an imperial party and relocates his family to Jiangning to reassure the emperor and the Wu party." Lin Mengde sighed softly. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
