Chapter 226 Lan Yu: Are you scolding me? (Please subscribe!!)
"Who?"
Ouyang Lun was a little puzzled. He had never heard of a powerful woman in the Chita tribe!
"Asuna, the daughter of Shiha, the leader of the Chita tribe, is eighteen years old. She has a sweet, pure and pleasant appearance. She is a famous beautiful woman on the grassland. She is smart, capable and good at dancing. She assists her father in managing the entire Chita tribe. It is said that it was her idea to allow the Chita tribe to establish a foothold in Qingshui Bay while grazing, farming, and doing business. It is precisely because of this that the small tribe, which originally had not enough to eat, gradually became rich."
"Master, you already know what happens next."
Shui Youxiu said slowly.
"Asuna?" Ouyang Lun muttered: "I have been to Qinghe City twice, but why have I never seen him? Is it possible that she is deliberately avoiding me?"
"This old slave doesn't know." Shui Youxiu shook his head.
"Forget it, the Chita tribe is now considered one of our own. It's a good thing to have talented people in the tribe."
Ouyang Lun didn't think too much about this matter. He still believed in the truth that "women can hold up half the sky".
"Nephew Ouyang Xian, what did you buy so many sheep for?" Tang He asked curiously.
"Of course it's for eating." Ouyang Lun smiled slightly, "The Great Wall and the New City have been built for so long, and everyone on the construction site has worked hard, so I plan to treat everyone to roast whole lamb. It's winter. Lamb is comfortable!"
“Eat roasted whole lamb and drink haggis soup!”
heard.
Many people at the scene started to chatter.
"Good boy! If I had known this sheep was for us to eat, I would have worked harder to catch the sheep just now!" Tang He said excitedly.
Ouyang Lun ignored Tang He and said to Zhou Bao: "Zhou Bao, go and arrange the cooks we brought. There are too many 20 sheep and there will definitely not be enough cooks. Fortunately, there is a canteen on every construction site." , let the cooks go to each canteen to give guidance, and divide the sheep among them. Ten people can have one sheep, a pot of haggis soup and other side dishes, which should be fine."
"Leave a cook behind to prepare roasted whole lamb and haggis soup for us. Be sure to add chili powder."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Bao nodded, then took the cook and divided the sheep.
While the sheep were being divided, Ouyang Lun, Tang He, and Xu Da came to a tent.
Soon a whole roasted lamb and mutton soup were served, as well as the 'Maotai' brought by Ouyang Lun.
The three chatted while eating.
"Second uncle, third uncle, you guys helped me guard the door last time. I really want to thank you two. Today's roasted whole lamb meal should be my thanks!"
Ouyang Lun returned to Peiping after taking An Qing and Tang Miaomiao for a trip, and heard Zhou Bao talk about what happened after he left.
Tang He:.
Xu Da:.
When Ouyang Lun said this, the two of them suddenly felt that the roasted whole lamb in front of them was not so fragrant.
The dignified prince went to serve as a door god for five days. This is really a lifetime of black history!
They originally wanted to rip off a few million yuan, but ended up giving it away by roasting a whole lamb. But under the current situation, they both had no shame in asking Ouyang Lun for any conditions.
Forget it, if you don’t eat the roasted whole lamb, then you really haven’t missed anything, so why bother!
You can't feel wronged by anything.
Tang He and Xu Da did not answer Ouyang Lun, but continued to cook in silence.
At this time, Ouyang Lun spoke again.
"By the way, I heard that you have been looking for Zhou Zhen. Have you found him?"
Tang He and Xu Da both stopped eating meat and looked at Ouyang Lun sadly.
"You sincerely don't want us to eat, do you?"
"That Zhou Zhen seemed to have disappeared from the world. We almost searched the entire Beizhili, but we couldn't find this guy!"
"Nephew Ouyang Xian, tell us secretly whether it was you who knocked Zhou Zhen off!"
Ouyang Lun quickly shook his head, "Second uncle, third uncle, you have wronged me. In this short period of time, I was either playing outside or staying at home. I didn't have time to ask about Zhou Zhen. Besides, if I really wanted to Kill him and deal with him long ago when he was arrogant and domineering in my house, why wait until this time."
"Besides, he is an imperial envoy sent by the emperor himself, who dares to touch him!"
"I guess he has returned to Kyoto to resume his life."
Hearing this, Tang He and Xu Da looked at each other and nodded immediately.
"Nephew Ouyang Xian is right. Zhou Zhen is a big man. We didn't catch him and we didn't kill him. He has hands and feet, and he has the golden order given by His Majesty. Naturally, he can go wherever he wants. !”
"Why are you talking about him! Let's keep eating meat and drinking!"
"Drink."
"It's a pity. It would be great if there were girls from heaven and earth dancing to cheer for us."
"When I return to Peking, I will invite my two uncles to go to heaven and earth."
"Good nephew! I think you should drive the Heaven and Earth to the Great Wall. Business will definitely be booming, haha."
"Heaven and Earth will only be opened in major towns. As for the smaller towns in the future, let's open a 'Golden Impression'. All the services should be provided at a more favorable price!"
"Wonderful! Nephew, you are really a genius in business, I admire you!"
While Ouyang Lun, Xu Da, Tang and the three of them were eating roasted whole lamb, drinking haggis soup and Maotai wine, a group of human traffickers were dragging a large cart of unconscious people across the Ming Dynasty. Border, entering the grassland.
In a certain night temple, two guards returned from a field trip, only to find that their master was missing.
"Master Zhou!"
"No, Mr. Zhou was kidnapped!"
Beijing.
Korean government.
Li Shanchang was flirting with two young concubines. The concubines had cherries in their mouths and fed them to Li Shanchang mouth to mouth.
While Li Shanchang ate the cherry, he also kissed his concubine.
"Haha, sir, you are so bad!"
"Master, I am not only bad, but I can be even worse."
After saying that, Li Shanchang put his arms around the waists of the two young concubines, "Let's go into the house and let you know how powerful I am!" "It's not dark yet! Isn't this good?"
"That's right, Master just tormented us yesterday, and he's here again today. We're afraid that Master, you won't be able to bear it!"
"Whether you can tolerate it or not, you have to eat it to find out!"
"go!"
Just as Li Shanchang was heading to the bedroom with his two concubines in his arms, the housekeeper hurried in to report.
"Master, Yongchang Hou Lanyu is here!"
Hearing this, Li Shanchang's smiling face suddenly froze and muttered: "Why is he here?"
"Sir, Marquis Yongchang is here in a hurry. It seems like he has something important to do." The steward added.
Li Shanchang patted the slender waists of the two concubines and said, "You go to the bedroom and wait for me. I'll come back after I finish handling the matter."
"Master, you have to come quickly!"
"We've all been waiting for this."
"All right."
After the two concubines left, Li Shanchang straightened his sleeves and sat down again, "Go and invite Marquis Yongchang to come in."
"Yes!"
The butler turned and left.
Soon, Yongchang Hou Lanyu came quickly. When he saw Li Shanchang, he immediately said loudly: "Old Prime Minister, something big has happened!"
Li Shanchang looked calm, not at all frivolous as before, and not as panicked as Lan Yu. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Ah Fu, go and pour a cup of tea for Marquis Yongchang."
"Yes!"
Butler Afu responded and left.
"My old Prime Minister, I didn't come here to have tea with you!" Lan Yu said.
"Lanyu, this is the capital. As long as His Majesty is here, the sky won't fall! Sit down first!" Li Shanchang said in a deep voice.
Although Lan Yu is a strong general, he still has special respect for Li Shanchang. This is like "Zhang Fei" to "Zhuge Liang" in the late Three Kingdoms period. Li Shanchang, as the strategist in Zhu Yuanzhang's "entrepreneurial team", worked hard to win a battle. He made many plans for the battle and was responsible for the army's logistics arrangements. These are all real contributions, and his prestige is accumulated bit by bit. He Lan Yu can call "Hu Weiyong" a brother, but in front of Li Shanchang, he respects him more .
Lan Yu sat down, and the butler Ah Fu also brought the tea.
"Ah Fu, you go and guard outside and don't allow anyone to come near. Marquis Yongchang and I have important matters to discuss."
"Yes, sir."
When the housekeeper Ah Fu retreated, Lan Yu wanted to speak again.
"Let's have a sip of tea first. This is the finest West Lake Longjing. It was originally specially provided to His Majesty. West Lake specially left some for me." Li Shanchang said calmly.
Perhaps because of Li Shanchang's calmness, Lan Yu, who was originally impatient, became calmer and picked up the tea cup to take a sip.
“Good tea!”
"Other than His Majesty, you are the only one who can drink such good tea here, Lao Xiangguo." Lan Yu admired sincerely.
Li Shanchang smiled and said, "Now let's talk about what happened to make you, Marquis Yongchang, so anxious."
Lan Yu's brows that had just relaxed immediately frowned again, "Old Prime Minister, since Hu Weiyong left, my life has been getting worse day by day. I used to be a good commander in Guangdong Province, but I was killed on horseback. Personally, I was stripped of my official position by His Majesty, and was summoned back to the capital to be scolded. Now I can only sit in the Marquis's mansion every day, and I am so busy!"
Li Shanchang rolled his eyes at Lan Yu, "You still have the nerve to say this. Fortunately, the family of the person who was killed was comforted. Is it possible for you to come to my place today?"
"Ahem." Lan Yu looked embarrassed.
Li Shanchang continued: "The dignified Ming general committed crimes in the city and enclosed the territory. You did more than Zhu Liangzu. If I and His Royal Highness hadn't interceded for you in front of His Majesty, do you think it was as simple as dismissing you from office?"
"Did you look at how Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu died?"
Lan Yu muttered: "How can Zhu Liangzu compare with me? He is just a general from the Yuan Dynasty, but I have been with your majesty since I was a child, and I am a fellow countryman of your majesty!"
"Zhu Liangzu can't compare with you, so he died." Li Shanchang continued: "The reason why His Majesty did not touch you is that you are the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty and made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, you are the founder of the Ming Dynasty. His Highness the Crown Prince’s wife’s uncle will assist His Highness the Crown Prince in the future.”
(Lanyu is the brother-in-law of Chang Yuchun, the second hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Biao is Chang Yuchun’s son-in-law. This means that Lan Yu is Zhu Biao’s uncle-in-law, and because of this relationship, Lan Yu is a member of Zhu Biao’s military generals. Representative figures in.)
Hearing this, Lan Yu looked proud, "That is, of course, there is no need to say more about my relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. When His Highness the Crown Prince becomes the emperor, I will see who dares to mess with me!"
"Even Ouyang Lun, who is in the spotlight now, can't compare to me!"
"Oh, by the way, I came here today to tell you, old Xiangguo, about Ouyang Lun."
"Is it related to Ouyang Lun?" Li Shanchang frowned instinctively when he heard the words 'Ouyang Lun'. His heart was quite complicated for Ouyang Lun.
On the one hand, he admires Ouyang Lun's ability and talent. He remembers many things clearly when he went to Yong'an Mansion, and he even wants to go a second time. Currently, his relationship with Ouyang Lun is quite good, but on the other hand , Ouyang Lun is not a descendant of Huaixi, nor is he a noble person. The two are destined to be in two political camps.
Originally, after Liu Bowen's death, the East Zhejiang Party was leaderless, and the Huaixi Xungui Party was the only one. He, Li Shan, was the chief security officer. But the bad thing was that after the Hu Weiyong incident, the "Hu Weiyong Case", many Huaixi Party officials They were all affected, either dismissed or executed, but not all the vacated positions were taken over by Huaixi children. Most of them were taken by officials from the north, especially those who had served as poor officials in Yong'an Prefecture, Beizhili. , these people are open-minded, bold and careful. After going to a new place, they often attach importance to the joint development of land and economy. Their favorite thing is to build roads!
The ability to achieve political achievements is simply ahead of the Huaixi children and other officials. The annual performance reports are filled with details. The local people are also highly satisfied, and it is often easy to get promoted.
It seems that they have become a new force in the Ming Dynasty, and some people privately call these people the 'Consort Party'. This 'Consort Party' naturally refers to Ouyang Lun.
Seeing such a vigorous and rapidly developing force, Li Shanchang had to be vigilant. After all, Ouyang Lun was the brother-in-law of Prince Zhu Biao and the son-in-law of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. This relationship was even stronger than the relationship between Lan Yu and Zhu Biao!
Li Shanchang knew Zhu Yuanzhang very well. Zhu Yuanzhang had been paving the way for Zhu Biao to inherit the throne for a long time. In addition to Lan Yu, the military generals, the 'Prince Consort Party' represented by Ouyang Lun may be the civil servants, one civil and one military, two political factions to check and balance each other. , isn’t this a typical imperial power play?
Therefore, it is completely understandable that as long as Lan Yu and Ouyang Lun do not commit serious crimes of rebellion, they will basically not die.
Ouyang Lun made a lot of contributions. Why did Zhu Yuanzhang delay recruiting Ouyang Lun into the capital? Perhaps this was reserved for the prince Zhu Biao.
These are Li Shanchang's views on the current situation in the court from the perspective of Li Shanchang.
Therefore, Ouyang Lun and the "Consort Party" who support Ouyang Lun are extremely vigilant.
"Yes, it's about the consort Ouyang Lun!" Lan Yu nodded heavily.
"I said Lan Yu, this Ouyang Lun has nothing against you, why are you staring at him?" Li Shanchang asked curiously.
Lan Yu pouted and said without hesitation: "I was summoned back by His Majesty to be scolded. Nine of His Majesty's ten sentences mentioned Ouyang Lun."
Then Lan Yu imitated Zhu Yuanzhang's tone.
"Well, Lan Yu, you've made a difference! You just went to Guangdong Province and killed people on horseback. You've ruined all the reputation Ouyang Lun had saved for the Ming Dynasty!"
