Lao Zhang got up early in the morning to prepare the fillings and worked until dawn, when the number of people on the street gradually increased.
At this moment, Xiao Zhang was still stacking steamers in the back kitchen when he saw his old man suddenly walking out of the shop. When he looked outside, he understood what was going on.
It turns out that Uncle Liang is back.
Lao Zhang was quite surprised at this moment. Lao Liang said something so solemnly some time ago that he thought he would not return to Beijing within three to five years.
Unexpectedly, he would come back just a few months later. Of course, he was a little surprised for a while.
"Lao Liang, when did you come back?"
Liang Sheng said with a smile: "I went to Beijing last night. Because it was too late, I didn't tell you that I would treat you to a drink tonight."
"OK."
At this time, Lao Zhang simply didn't go back to the bun shop, and took out the teapot and tea leaves by the bookshelf. It was a familiar journey.
"Lao Zhang, why don't you go back and look at your shop?"
Liang Sheng was a little surprised when he saw this. When Lao Zhang heard this sentence, he directly said it dirty.
"What are you looking at? This world is getting harder and harder day by day, and there are not many ghosts to be seen at the end of the day. If it weren't for this inheritance passed down from our ancestors, I would have just rested."
At this time, he whispered secretly: "Our Majesty is personally conducting the expedition, but no news has been received until now. It seems that he is in trouble.
Otherwise, with his overjoyed personality, how could it be that Kyoto is so quiet, and the few imperial merchants in the north of our city have been frequently visiting the household department recently. I don’t need to say more about what is going on."
Lao Zhang gave Liang Sheng a look with a "you know what" expression. At this moment, Liang Sheng was about to say something with a smile, but suddenly stopped.
Someone is coming to the bookstore.
"Shopkeeper Liang, shopkeeper Zhang, you are both here. I happen to have some freshly picked fruits at home, and I brought them to you to try."
The visitor was shopkeeper Yang from the pawnshop next door, holding a basket of fruits. When Liang Sheng and Lao Zhang saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
After a few awkward conversations, Shopkeeper Yang said goodbye and left as if he knew the atmosphere was awkward. Liang Sheng looked at Lao Zhang and asked, "Why is Shopkeeper Yang, who has always been stingy, suddenly so generous?"
Lao Zhang couldn't help but shake his head and didn't know what was going on. However, after shopkeeper Yang interrupted, Lao Zhang stopped talking about Emperor Kai Ping's personal expedition and got up to go back to the bun shop.
In the next few days, shopkeeper Yang even sent some snacks from time to time, which greatly changed the impression of Lao Zhang and nearby merchants on him.
Could it be that this iron rooster has gotten older and his temper has changed?
It wasn't until shopkeeper Yang came to deliver the wedding invitations one by one that they suddenly realized that the roots lay here.
They had eaten his food in the past few days, so how could they be disrespectful? They were quite distressed to think that they would bleed profusely after eating some worthless fruit.
After all, according to Kyoto customs, it would be civilized to require at least ten taels of silver as a gift. Naturally, Lao Zhang and Liang Sheng could only shake their heads at this.
Still careless!
However, Liang Sheng didn't pay much attention to this. In fact, he had been keeping an eye on the situation in Kyoto during this period. Lao Zhang did not know about the situation of Emperor Kaiping's personal expedition to the southwest, but Liang Sheng knew very well.
After all, with his current level of cultivation, except for the mysterious little sword, which is on par with him, even innate masters have no threat in his eyes. He has visited all the departments in the court without anyone noticing.
Emperor Kaiping's life is not easy now. He has fallen into the quagmire of the southwest, but he can't get out.
Chen Ping is worthy of being a general who has calmed the frontiers for twenty years. Although his cultivation is not as good as that of Li Hong, his military ability is beyond doubt.
If Emperor Kaiping hadn't led the elites of Great Yan, they might have been defeated long ago, but the situation was still extremely anxious, and as time went on, things might get worse.
Dayan has encountered the biggest crisis in the past twenty years, but Liang Sheng is happy to see this situation. After Kunwu Mountain, he can only take advantage of the fire if Dayan Guozuo overthrows it.
As for the loss of life and the deprivation of life for the people, this is not the cause and effect of Liang Sheng, but the result of Emperor Kaiping's twenty years of evil.
In this way, from the southwest rebellion after the beginning of summer until late autumn, when Emperor Kaiping was still entangled with the southwest rebels, the situation in Kyoto became inexplicably tense.
Kyoto even started to control supplies, restricting people's purchase of supplies. At this time, Liang Sheng looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly.
Soon.
The national destiny of the Great Yan Dynasty finally began to be turbulent, and there was a faint threat of annihilation of the country. But just when everything was developing according to Liang Sheng's wishes, sudden changes occurred.
Dayan's national destiny has indeed begun to decline, but the overall situation of Feng Shui is still entangled with the Ye family. Liang Sheng immediately thought of the reason.
It seems that Wusheng Cult has finally taken action.
This rebellious sect, which was born almost at the same time as the Great Yan Dynasty, actually began to separatize the land of Great Yan openly and openly.
Is this because the other party is ready to completely give up on Emperor Kaiping?
With the help of Wusheng Cult, the southwest rebels became more and more powerful, making the situation that Emperor Kaiping could barely maintain even worse.
Emperor Kaiping led his army to retreat steadily in the southwest battlefield. Even if Kyoto deliberately concealed it, it could no longer suppress the news.
For a time, both the common people in the court and the common people began to panic, while the powerful and aristocratic families began to make preparations.
Liang Sheng, who knew the arrangement of the Grand Ancestor of the Ye family, was still as stable as Mount Tai at this moment. Now that the Wusheng Cult had taken action to solve this rebellion, there might be another incident in the southwest battlefield.
Sure enough, not long after, good news came from the southwest battlefield. The rebellious Chen Ping was found by Emperor Kaiping, and Qin Gang personally killed him.
And it was not just Chen Ping who died, but also died under Qin Gang's sword with him, the bald master who had previously offered sacrifices to heaven and assassinated Emperor Kaiping.
It turns out that in order to take revenge, Hongzhi had gone south to join the rebels and joined Chen Ping. Therefore, Chen Ping's safety was guaranteed during this period, and his whereabouts were unknown.
But all failures began with problems within the fortress. When the Southwest Rebels cooperated with the Wusheng Cult, this result was actually doomed.
But Emperor Kaiping did not win the final victory. Twenty years of drinking, sex and wealth had long since emptied Emperor Kaiping's body.
After receiving the news of Chen Ping's death, Emperor Kaiping was overjoyed and sad for a moment. His heart was filled with tears. Finally, he could no longer hold on and fell down that day.
After that, famous doctors came to diagnose and treat him, but Emperor Kaiping was already terminally ill, and the southwest had not yet been completely pacified. Emperor Kaiping's life and death were uncertain, so the army had no choice but to return to the court.
On the way back to Beijing, Emperor Kaiping failed to hold on and died halfway, and rebellions broke out in various places.
The Wu Sheng Cult showed unparalleled strength among the major rebel forces. In an instant, they were like a spark of fire that set off a prairie fire, overwhelming the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, Kyoto also began to become chaotic. Fortunately, the prince of the current dynasty made a decisive decision and broke into the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion alone with thunderous momentum to appease people's hearts.
After taking control of the Royal Forest Army and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the Kyoto Shenji Battalion also protected the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the situation was brought under control.
