Chang Yu is extremely talented and has much more energy than normal people. He can even stay awake for several nights. However, he also has a shortcoming. He can sleep without sleeping, but he has to eat, and he will starve if he doesn't eat a meal.
It was already late afternoon when he returned to the city from the military camp and sent the emperor to the palace. He was so hungry that he hurried back to the Waidongchang Yamen. Fang San had already cooked a rich meal for him.
Why is it a table? Because he is not eating alone, there are three guests.
Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo.
This was not the first time for the three of them to be guests at Dongchang Yamen, but looking at the little eunuch devouring his food, the three of them had no appetite at all and could hardly put down their chopsticks, but they drank a lot of wine.
"I almost thought the factory master was going to entertain us in the imperial prison." Liu Zeqing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's an unforeseen disaster, it's an unreasonable disaster! If you stay in Jinan well, nothing will happen. The Ministry of War ordered us to go north to Qinwang and spare no effort to chase the thieves thousands of miles away. , The factory boss said that we have come thousands of miles to help, but nothing good has happened since we arrived on the ground. Others, we also admit, Li Chengdong's rebellion has nothing to do with us!"
Liu Liangzuo echoed from the side: "It's really an unforeseen disaster!"
Only Gao Jie had a dark face and said nothing.
Chang Yu glanced at the three of them: "The imperial edicts are for those who are unpardoned. The three commander-in-chiefs are innocent and do not have that kind of preferential treatment. There is no one else here, so let's talk about what lies deep in our hearts. What will Li Chengdong do?" What's going on? Gao Jie, as his immediate superior, you are bound to get a lot of shit from this matter. Are you going to wipe it yourself or let the governor do it for you?"
"I really don't know why he went crazy," Gao Jie complained: "But they all were killed again, leaving no one alive and dead without any evidence..."
Hey, Chang Yu was reluctant when he heard this: "Commander Gao, are you blaming me for killing someone at that time, or are you saying that I want to kill people and silence them?"
Gao Jie quickly apologized: "My lord, please don't blame me. I made a mistake in my humble position." Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo also hurriedly reconciled the situation. After all, the priority at that time was to quell the chaos. Anyone else would have killed decisively and could not tolerate a trace of hesitation. If Li Chengdong was at that time After listening to the advice, it was enough to give up the weapon and surrender. There was still a chance to explain, but he didn't listen to the advice at that time. Don't blame Tu Yuan and others for killing him.
"I don't care what the three of you think, I must give an explanation to the emperor." Chang Yu knocked on the table: "According to the witnesses on duty at the school field at that time, Li Chengdong led more than ten people to rush into the school field, and the guards on duty went to stop him. He was informed that he had entered a restricted area and was not in the area where he was on duty. However, he kept yelling and scolding and even killed the personal guards who intercepted him... What the hell has made him crazy? "
Gao Jie rubbed his head vigorously: "I really don't know what a humble job is."
Liu Zeqing must have been staring at Chang Yu, and suddenly said: "Since the factory owner also said that there are no outsiders here, I am humble enough to ask boldly, is this really not the intention of the imperial court?"
Chang Yu was startled: "What does Mr. Liu mean by this? The court planned to kill Li Chengdong? Who does the court refer to, the emperor and the governor? Okay, even if it is, then why do the emperor and the governor want to kill an unknown Li Chengdong? ?”
"To... take the opportunity to suppress us." Liu Liangzuo saw that Liu Zeqing was so daring to say this, so he stopped holding back.
Suppress? Chang Yu frowned: "If that's the case, the three of them should really be in prison at this time. Well, even if they are, then why is Li Chengdong so obedient and willing to sacrifice his life for cooperation?"
Well... the three of them were speechless.
After a long time, Gao Jie sighed: "This matter has become a suspicious case. We don't know how to explain it. Please give me some guidance, sir."
Chang Yu shook his head and sighed: "It's difficult, the emperor wants you to explain this matter, not this governor... I don't know how to explain it."
"Then, haven't we always been suspected of being guilty?" Liu Zeqing became anxious.
Chang Yu was waiting for his words.
"The governor has a suggestion here. You three should think about it and make your own choice."
"Please give me some advice from the factory owner." Gao Jie and the others still trust Chang Yu. After all, they have negotiated several times and this little eunuch is relatively reliable in handling affairs.
"Either go to the palace and clarify this matter yourself, or you can take the blame and make meritorious service!" Chang Yu's simple words made the three of them shudder.
Emperor Chongzhen is now in a rage. Will he listen to their explanation? Will he accept their explanation? If not, he will really be branded as a suspect.
You really have become a guilty person!
Little did he know, this was what Chang Yu wanted, not only to kill Li Chengdong, but also to drag down the three of him! He was guilty and only took the initiative to work hard when he was working.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Chang Yu sighed slightly: "Don't make a decision in a hurry. Let's eat and drink later. It's just that the governor can't accompany him. He has other official duties to be busy with, and Dongchang has sent people to investigate. People close to Li Chengdong and witnesses at the time may be able to find some clues later."
The three of them had no choice but to say goodbye and go to the officially designated courtyard outside Qianmen to discuss countermeasures.
As the leader of Dongchang, Chang Yu is always busy with things, but today he is definitely not the busiest one, because Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Li Yan and others will be much busier than him.
First of all, they divided the spoils, oh no, they divided the rewards. From the battle with the rebels in Baoding Prefecture to chasing the Qing army for thousands of miles, they gained a lot of money. Now, in addition to the confiscation and sharing of grain and grass, the remaining gold, silver and soft goods have to be divided. Reward soldiers.
This is a detailed job and a matter of great care. In addition, the three people who have been knighted have to go to the palace again to thank them, and then follow the people from the Ministry of Works to see their mansions, and then they have to send people to bring their family members to the capital to enjoy their blessings. Yes, a serious Beijing household registration.
Even though Wu Sangui was a knight, being one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms was also a great joy for his ancestors. He had to go back to his hometown and hold a banquet to entertain his relatives and friends for a moment of friendship between the DPRK and China.
Anyway, everyone in the military is very busy and very happy today. There are destined to be endless games tonight. Even Chang Yu originally intended to hold a banquet in the big world tonight to celebrate the generals, but he thought they would He was busy with socializing and had countless small group celebration parties, so he gave up and gathered again another day. He only gathered his cronies to prepare for a fun night with his family.
The Huitong Pavilion is located next to the middle bridge of Yuhe (also known as Yuhe) in Dongjiangmi Lane inside Qianmen. Although it was the state guesthouse of the Ming Dynasty, it was already dilapidated. After all, at this time, the imperial court did not have the time and financial resources to build any facade projects for itself. His face was filled with gold.
But there were quite a few guests in the hall, and even though they were relatives, there were also many envoys from various countries and even things similar to envoys, eating and drinking there.
In the evening, a few ferocious Dongchang fans came to the Huitong Hall and took away three people. This aroused the curiosity of the remaining people and inquired about them, but no one knew these three people, let alone when they lived here.
Fanzi put the three of them into a carriage, and when they were about to leave, one of them suddenly asked: "Do you want to go to the Siyi Pavilion to call someone, it will save you..."
Siyi Pavilion, also known as Siyi Pavilion in the Qing Dynasty, was the national translation agency.
"I'm proficient in Chinese, so there's no need for it," someone in the car said softly. A few people shrugged, then drove towards the big fence outside the front door.
