In order to prepare for the invaders and facilitate contact with the road supervisors, the Generalissimo's Mansion in Xiangyang in late March officially became the Yulu Yuan with functions similar to the Jinzou Yuan, allowing officials from the road supervisors and military towns and camps to be stationed there. At the same time, they were under the supervision of the marshal.
The Governor of the Palace Museum is responsible for the administration of Zhonglang, and is responsible for the delivery and transfer of messages between the Marshal's Palace and various road supervisors and military towns, as well as various documents.
Zheng Tu, as the economic official appointed by the Chushan camp, also officially went to Xiangyang to take up his post in late March.
Zheng Tuzhi went to Xiangyang and Chushan. He took a few guards with him. In order not to delay things, he traveled day and night. On the way, he was tired from traveling to isolated villages and shops and stayed for a while, but he did not feel tired.
However, this time he went to Xiangyang to take care of his family. He was afraid that his wife and concubines would be affected, so he passed through Biyang and stayed an extra night. He also planned to buy some things in Biyang and take them to Xiangyang.
Zheng Tu rarely had any free time. When the sun climbed up to the treetops, he got up from the inn where he was staying. He felt so comfortable all over that he couldn't help but hum a little tune:
"The land is fertile and it is spring, the vegetation is lush and the streams are flowing, and the two barks cannot kick."
"You can't kick it, and you still hold it like a starving ghost, because you're not afraid that your body won't be able to bear it anymore, and you're not afraid that the flood will submerge your little mallet!" Mother Tu Zheng came up from behind and said resentfully.
"If you keep nagging me, I'll tell you to go back to your old house." Zheng Tu said arrogantly.
"I'm just worried that your body and bones can't bear it. How can I talk about you? You don't know a good heart." Mother Zheng Tu said resentfully.
"You said you were worried, but don't covet my body and let me take a rest!" Zheng Tu said.
"You heartless person, how could I not let you rest? You left a stick of incense in my room? You ran into that vixen's room, and the vixen screamed like a ghost for more than half an hour. You still slept in her room at night.
"Here, I asked her to pester her again this morning, and you thought I didn't hear you." Mrs. Zheng Tu was very angry, but she was afraid that Zheng Tu would really drive her back, so she didn't dare to behave like before.
"Officer, sister," Hu Ji heard Mrs. Zheng Tu complaining in the yard. She blushed and ran over, bowed and bowed, and whispered, "it's the officer who is clinging to the slave family. The slave family originally asked the officer to accompany her sister, and now she is like this."
Okay, okay, when the official calls me later, I will serve the official in my sister’s room and won’t ask the official to leave my sister.”
The weather is getting warmer, Hu Ji's clothes are thin, her charming face is just adorable, and her breasts are firm and her legs are long. Mrs. Zheng Tu knows that men deserve to die with this kind of woman, but if three people really want to sleep in the same room, Zheng Tu is afraid.
He was even less interested in himself. He couldn't even drink the soup. He said resentfully, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried that Sha Qian Dao's body is weak. You just don't let him succeed in the morning."
"Zheng Langjun, Zheng Langjun!"
Jin Longquan looked over, cupped his hands and said,
"Mr. Zheng, have you just gotten up? Are you taking the liberty to come here so as not to disturb Mr. Zheng's pleasure?"
Zheng Tu's wife and Hu Ji followed Zheng Tu to Xiangyang to take up his post. Of course, they had already been given instructions to pay attention to the rules. When they saw someone coming, they immediately went into the house to avoid it.
"You were still thinking of sending someone to see Master Jin secretly, why did you just come here directly?" Zheng Tu pulled Jin Longquan into the side room to talk and asked.
"I was entrusted by the villagers and my old man to come here to pay homage to Mr. Zheng in an open and honest manner, but there is no hindrance." Jin Longquan said.
"Oh, so you haven't received the news yet about Jin Zhuangcheng's transfer to Xiangyang," Zheng Tu said, "but it's coming soon. Counting the days, Jin Zhuangcheng should have arrived in Xiangyang. Maybe he will be sent to Xiangyang."
The people who reported the news are already on their way!"
"Ah? What's going on?" Jin Longquan was slightly startled and asked in surprise.
Although Tongbai Mountain has more mountains and less land, it has a very vast territory. The mountains are rich in tea, tung oil, lacquer, wood, gold and iron minerals, and it also occupies a key passage from Huainan to Jingxiang. The clan power has always been very strong.
Even though they were invaded by bandits, those who chose to stay or move to Biyang because they were afraid of Xu Huai's dishonest behavior and wanton aggression after Tongbai Mountain was divided could still be said to have strength in numbers in Biyang City.
Even though these people in Biyang City did not dare to offend Xu Huai for a while, they did not completely give up their ancestral property in the mountains, and would even send people back to Chushan to negotiate from time to time.
Their biggest reliance at that time was that they were Jinshi in high school at a young age. At this time, they found out that Jin Zhuangcheng, the eldest son of the Jin family in Huangzhou, came out.
In their view, the achievements that Jinzhuang Cheng, who has Zhengmiao and Miaohong roots, can expect in the future are by no means comparable to that of Xu Huai, a reckless man. They only need to wait for Xu Huai's backer to fall, and Jinzhuang Cheng will be there.
The connections among the officials have ten thousand ways to kill this fool.
However, after the fall of Bianliang, King Jing went south to Xiangyang to open the Grand Marshal's Palace of the Army of the World, and Xu Huai, the general manager of the army and horse capital of the Chushan camp and also knew Shenzhou, commanded the Tianxiong army, which really made these people panic.
It's just that when Xu Huai returned to Tongbai Mountain this time, he just confiscated the property of the families' fields, houses, mountains and forests in the name of donating money to train the local soldiers, but he had no intention of having anything to do with the families who had fled to Biyang.
In addition to sending envoys to Xiangyang and passing through Biyang, Chushan has had no contact with Biyang for more than a month.
Each family wanted to ease the relationship with Chushan. Firstly, they couldn't find a way. Secondly, they felt that they were already too high to climb. It was not until Zheng Tu settled in Biyang City this time that the old lady of Jin came forward to ask Jin Longquan.
Find Zheng Tu to "reminisce about old times".
At this time, they were completely unaware that Jin Zhuangcheng had been transferred from Huangzhou to Xiangyang to take up a post.
"Jinzhuang Cheng was temporarily transferred to the Grand Marshal's Mansion to serve as a lieutenant. It was recommended by Zhu Hang," Zheng Tu said. "The reason is that His Highness ascended the throne in Xiangyang. Jinghu North Road and Nanyang Mansion are the elbow and center of Xiangyang.
There should be ministers who are familiar with the connections between these two places so that things can be done more conveniently!"
"The Jin family is full of resentment towards Commander-in-Chief, doesn't Zhu Hang know that?" Jin Longquan said doubtfully.
"Mr. Zhu Hang doesn't know much about the twists and turns. Of course, Mr. Zhu Hang can think of Jin Zhuangcheng, but it's what Commander Jie said," Zheng Tu said, "The main reason is to make it convenient for you to go to Xiangyang!"
Jin Longquan was still confused, but at this time he also thought that Zheng Tu had made a special trip to stay in Biyang this time to send him a message, so he listened patiently to what he said.
"His Highness has great trust in Commander Jie, but it is undeniable that Xiangyang is still under the absolute control of the ministers, not to mention that King Lu and the Ge family may regain power in Xiangyang in the future. The situation in Xiangyang will be like a whirlpool by then, but it may not be
I can handle it all on my own for Jieshuai, and Master Jin can no longer remain in the small county captain's office. It's just that there is no way to transfer Master Jin to Xiangyang overtly, so he can only build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly - this should be considered a secret crossing to Chencang.
A plan?" Zheng Tu asked with some uncertainty.
When Jin Zhuangcheng came to Huangzhou, he was surrounded by servants and staff, but when he was transferred to the Central Committee and entrusted with important tasks, he naturally needed more people around him.
Perhaps Jinzhuang Cheng proposed some promotions and recommended some clan members, so he was handed over to Xiangyang to serve as a support, which was also an inevitable move.
Although Jin Longquan is a county captain and has no chance of success, how many people can match him in terms of his ability in handling affairs and his close relationship with the old lady of Jin and Jin Zhuangcheng?
If you want to secretly transfer Jin Longquan to Xiangyang, this is indeed the best way.
Jin Longquan asked with some worry: "Mr. Zhu Hang has a close relationship with Commander Jie. He recommended the eldest son of the Jin family, and the Jin family is not on good terms with Commander Ji. This is not a secret in Tongbai Mountain. If it falls in the eyes of interested people, it will
Isn’t it a flaw?”
"Mr. Shi said there is no need to worry," Zheng Tu said. "Bianliang fell, and thousands of clan members fell into the hands of the enemy. Except for King Lu in Qingzhou, His Highness only had Princess Yingyun, Duke Wuwei and Rongle in Xiangyang.
The three blood relatives of the county lord. Zhu Langjun is close to Jieshuai. If he encounters any injustice, he will definitely speak for Jieshuai. But who would believe that he would have other affairs with Jieshuai secretly? Zhu Hanglangjun
He doesn’t believe it himself, does he?”
After Zheng Tu's suggestion, Jin Longquan came to his senses.
Zhu Hang was the husband-in-law of the Lord of Rongle County and a member of the clan.
In the past, a clan like his would have no value at all in the court, and would even be restricted from holding important positions.
Now the situation has completely changed. There are only a few members of the clan in Xiangyang, and all the previous restrictions will inevitably be broken.
Zhu Hang will definitely become one of the most relied-upon and trusted figures around King Jing. Who would think that Zhu Hang has other ideas?
This is similar to the reason why Xu Huai recommended Wen Hengyue in Puban and advocated that Taiyuan soldiers and civilians move to Xiangyang as emperor's benefactors. Zhou He, Zheng Huaizhong, Gao Junyang and others would only follow and find it difficult to refute.
Although Xu Huai is very close to Xu Wei, Qian Zerui, and Wen Hengyue, and they have the kindness to help each other, no one will question Xu Wei, Qian Zerui, Wen Hengyue, and most of the military generals in the Taiyuan garrison.
Loyalty to Dai Viet.
Even people like Zhang Xin and Qian Shangduan cannot match this point.
