Half an hour later, the old villagers arrived one after another, and the banquet started at noon.
Some people have become obsessed with Cuju recently, setting up a goal in the back hill and playing wild ball.
At noon, everyone gathered in the meeting hall for a banquet.
Wang Da, Monkey and Geng San sit at the same table.
Wang Da looked around and suddenly said: "Why isn't that guy Qian Shouxin here?"
Geng Sandao: "Why are you looking for him?"
Wang Da glared and said: "After that boy became the city's defense general, he didn't do his job. He even closed the chicken house, leaving me with no place to gamble on chicken. I was about to settle the score with him!"
The monkey grabbed a leg of lamb and gnawed it, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have the guts, go find him. He should be in the palace study now!"
Wang Da was stunned and said: "Why is the king calling him?"
The monkey glanced at him sideways and said, "It's also about the Chicken House!"
Wang Da rubbed his hands and said happily: "I know, the king must secretly play a few games in secret, so he called Qian Shouxin over and gave him a scolding!"
The monkey glanced at him and said angrily: "Fart, will the king be like you and indulge in stupid things like cockfighting?"
Wang Da argued: "Why is cockfighting so stupid? I heard that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty loved cockfighting!"
The monkey curled his lips and said: "So the Tang Dynasty is gone!"
Wang Da Xin Zhi was no match for a monkey, so he snorted and said, "What are you doing when your Majesty calls Qian Shouxin over?"
The monkey looked around and lowered his voice: "To tell you the truth, the people who reported the Chicken House were the king and the princess. That kid Qian Shouxin was frightened, so he arrested everyone in the Chicken House!"<
/p>
Wang Da and Geng San both lost their voices and said: "It's impossible!"
The two people's voices were too loud, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. They quickly lowered their heads and ate in silence, and no one talked about it anymore.
After the banquet, it was already afternoon, and Qin Lingjun took Liang Rong back to the palace.
She asked Liang Rong to wait outside the study and entered the study directly.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard a voice.
"... Gambling is not prohibited in the preliminary laws, so it is legal for private people to open gambling houses. General Qian arrested all the owners of gambling houses for no reason. The impact is extremely bad. Please punish him severely!" p>
The person who spoke was clearly Lu Liangzuo, and standing next to him were Ma Yulin and Qian Shouxin.
Zhang Yangquan turned to look at Ma Yulin and said, "Isn't gambling prohibited in the Chu Laws just promulgated?"
Ma Yulin said: "Indeed not!"
Zhang Yangquan said solemnly: "Then immediately enact the second version of the law to strictly prohibit gambling. I don't want to see anyone open a gambling house on the street again!"
Lu Liangzuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, even if a new law is promulgated immediately, General Qian broke the law first. If he does not deal with it, he will not be able to give an explanation to the people!"
Zhang Yangquan waved his hand and said: "General Qian closed down the Chicken House not just because of their gambling, but because after the Chicken House gathered for gambling, they committed many crimes in order to collect gambling debts, and they have all pleaded guilty!"
Lu Liangzuo was stunned for a moment and said: "In this case, the crime needs to be announced as soon as possible to prevent the people from making unreasonable guesses."
Zhang Yangquan waved his hand and said: "You can discuss this matter on your own!"
The two looked at each other and resigned together, Qian Shouxin also resigned.
"Madam, how are you?" Zhang Yangquan poured a cup of tea for Qin Lingjun, his face full of concern.
Qin Lingjun picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Liang Rong can be of great use!"
Zhang Yangquan was overjoyed: "Did anyone bring it?"
"Just outside the study!"
Zhang Yangquan immediately ordered someone to call Liang Rong in and told him what Kang Maocai and Tian Wanjun had done carefully.
Liang Rong was secretly surprised, thinking that the king and the princess already knew that Kang Maocai had a problem.
Zhang Yangquan said: "Kang Maocai approached you, probably hoping that you would join the Tianwan Army and inform Chen Youliang of the truth about our army!"
Liang Rong said hurriedly: "I would rather die than betray the king and princess!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Of course we believe you, that's why we hope that you will pretend to be bewitched by Kang Maocai and pretend to surrender to Tianwan's army! This task is extremely dangerous. If you don't want to, I will never force you!"
Liang Rong was ecstatic. Jiangdu Army's standard for military merit has always been that the greater the danger, the greater the credit. For such a great danger, the officer will definitely be reinstated!
"I, I will, will you!" He felt that this was an opportunity for the king and the princess to give him a chance to redeem himself, and his voice became choked with sobs.
Zhang Yangquan patted him on the shoulder and said: "I will let Fu Youde deal with you about this matter. This matter is extremely dangerous, so be careful!"
Qin Lingjun said: "After you leave Jiangdu Mansion, I will take care of your children in the palace, so you don't have to worry!"
Liang Rong cupped his hands and said: "The final general will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Two days later, the holiday of the first lunar month ended, farmers began to go to the fields, officials went to the government offices, and Jiangdu government offices also began to implement the employment system and recruit workers for infrastructure construction.
Zhang Yangquan does not dare to leak the cement formula now, lest it be used by Chen Youliang and Yuan Ting, which will cause obstacles in future sieges.
Therefore, most of the materials used in infrastructure construction are basically lime mortar.
On this afternoon, Lan Yu and Han Lin'er returned to Jiangdu Mansion together.
Zhang Yangquan summoned the two of them in the study and gave them a few words of encouragement, but not too much praise.
Lan Yu and Han Lin'er were actually a little worried, thinking that they would be blamed if they led troops on an expedition without authorization and violated the rules.
Seeing that the king did not punish me, he was very happy and did not feel aggrieved.
When Lan Yu returned home, he was greeted by roasted meat on a stick.
Lan Yu dodged in the courtyard and shouted: "Sister, the king has praised us, why are you angry?"
Lan Xiangyu held a stick as thick as a bowl, with a dark face, and said: "How old are you, how dare you go to the battlefield to fight, and chase you to Sizhou? If Zhao Jun hadn't been afraid of our army's reputation, you would have
I was slaughtered!"
Lan Yu hummed: "This general naturally took into account his fear of our army, so he boldly pursued us!"
"Thinking about it! Let me ask you, how did you end up in Haozhou while hunting?"
"We heard that there are big insects in the mountains around Haozhou, so we wanted to catch one and give it to the king!"
"You are crazy! Just the two of you are not enough for the big insect to eat!"
"We are not stupid, we will definitely bring weapons and set up traps! Besides, Bian Yuanheng can kill a big insect with one kick, so it is obvious that the big insect is nothing more than that!"
Just as the siblings were arguing, Chang Yuchun suddenly came back.
Lan Xiangyu hurriedly put down her stick and asked, "Why are you coming back so early today?"
Chang Yuchun walked into the lobby and said: "Military information has just been reported. Chen Youliang has assembled an army in Raozhou. The king has issued a military order to transfer a group of generals and an army of 100,000 to Huizhou Road. I am also among those mobilized and will set off in five days.
!"
Lan Xiangyu followed him and said in a daze: "Are you going to the front line so soon?"
Lan Yu put her hands behind her head, curled her lips, and said: "Sister, this battle will happen sooner or later. Only by killing Chen Youliang as soon as possible can our army unify Jiangnan and be prepared to deal with the north!"
Chang Yuchun took off his armor and said with a smile: "Lanyu is right, it's better to fight late than to fight early. Tianwanjun is no match for us! Just wait for the victory at home!"
In January of the 16th year of the Zhengzheng Period, Zhang Yangquan established six new departments in Zhongshu Province.
None of the six ministries has a minister, and the highest official position is minister. They are all filled by officials with good evaluations in the local government last year.
Subsequently, Zhang Yangquan appointed Xu Baisheng as the general marshal of the expedition to the west, Fang Yuan and Li Er as the deputy marshals of the expedition to the west, and mobilized 100,000 troops to go to Huizhou Road.
The mountain pigs still returned to Chuzhou to guard.
Just as the army was about to set off, Kang Maocai finally began to instigate a rebellion against Liang Rong.
"Your Majesty, Liang Rong has defected to Tianwan's army as planned. Kang Maocai asked him to go to the dock at You time tomorrow afternoon and escape from Jiangdu Mansion with him."
In the study, Fu Youde handed over his report.
Zhang Yangquan said: "Okay, I understand."
Fu Youde suddenly said: "By the way, Kang Maocai also gave Liang Rong a task!"
Zhang Yangquan raised his head and asked: "What?"
"He asked Liang Rong to go to Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion tonight and try to find a way to stay in Zhu's mansion overnight!"
Zhang Yangquan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a moment, his expression changed drastically.
This is obviously a sinister strategy of Cheonwanjun!
After Liang Rong publicly betrayed him, the other party calculated that he would definitely investigate Liang Rong!
By then, Liang Rong's one-night stay at Zhu Yuanzhang's residence before his defection will naturally be revealed!
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't clean himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Either he will be directly accused, or even if he is not accused, he will no longer trust him!
Fu Youde reminded: "Your Majesty, this is their plan to kill someone with a knife!"
Zhang Yangquan took a deep breath and said: "I can see it too. I will handle this matter well. You can step back first."
