First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Yang Yuangao took his head and saluted together to thank him.

Seeing that they listened, Zhang Ximeng couldn't help smiling gently, "My lord is a very promising leader, and now it's a chaotic world. Keep your eyes open, and the future is limitless. My words may not sound good, but they do come from the heart. We should know ourselves Who are you doing things for, don’t enter the real temple and worship false gods!”

Yang Yuangao's hearts were beating wildly, and he quickly agreed.

This young man is really not simple, there is temptation in the admonition, and warning in the encouragement.

I thought that Li Shanchang could coax Zhu Yuanzhang into a circle and become the No. 1 civil official... Looking at it now, I am afraid that he is not qualified!

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he took out the official document, inquired about the situation of several of them carefully, filled it in the file, and wrote his own name, and asked them to mark it and seal it later.

Yang Yuangao couldn't help being surprised when he saw Zhang Ximeng's name.

Zhang Ximeng is calm, he has encountered too many times.

"I'm from the Zhang family in Jinan, the Zhang family you know!"

Yang Yuangao couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't dare to say more, but obediently withdrew... When several people came out and got together, he could only smile helplessly.

"Unexpectedly, the descendants of Mr. Yunzhuang actually followed the Red Turban Army! We are not as noble as others!"

The remaining four looked at it and understood, don't think about it, just work hard!

So they said in unison: "Yes, we are all humble public servants!"

Chapter 73 Luo Guanzhong Visits

This is the third time that the centralized trial has been conducted against the most heinous people.

At first it was just the Lu family, followed by a group of powerful families headed by the Mu family.

Now it is aimed at the Mongolian nobles in Chuzhou, corrupt officials, and some powerful lackeys of the Yuan court who are extremely angry... The scale is getting bigger and better every time.

It's not a little good, it's a big good!

Occupying Chuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang really had the feeling of flexing his muscles. Things that he was not used to in the past can now be solved.

Except for the three main force thousands of households staying behind in Chuzhou, the remaining soldiers and horses were led by Tang He, Hua Yun, the Feng family brothers, Wu family brothers and others, and carried out a campaign against the cottages and bandits in various parts of Chuzhou.

Many of these people had followed the Feng family brothers to besiege Chuzhou, but now they became the targets of the Feng family brothers.

Anyway, they are all a group of insects, so you don't need to be polite.

Feng Guoyong and Feng Guosheng killed more than anyone else!

The two of them knew that only by clearing out the plethora of thieves and bandits could the people settle down, and with a stable environment, could the land be divided smoothly.

The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and things are naturally getting more and more.

In any case, this spring, the matter of dividing the fields must be implemented.

Spring plowing must be done well!

After a few months, after harvesting this season's crops, they will be able to gain a firm foothold and have the capital for further development.

Although Jiqing is good, it cannot be won immediately.

We must redouble our efforts!

Inside and outside the city, up and down, everyone was busy... At this moment, a caravan, carrying [-] bolts of silk, came from Liuhe to Chuzhou.

The young man at the head of the caravan was less than 30 years old, with handsome features, fair and clean, and a fan in his hand. He looked like a talented man swimming in a lake on a broken bridge, not like a businessman.

Needless to say, he is indeed known as a talented scholar in Hangzhou.

But not long ago, he received a letter from his teacher asking him to go to Gaoyou. He had to say goodbye to his relatives and friends in Hangzhou, and cross the river north to Gaoyou.

As soon as he arrived in Gaoyou, he was deeply shocked.

What a hero, extraordinary!

Zhang Shicheng's [-] poles rebelled, he was more powerful than Shengguang, he was more powerful than Cao Liu, he went to Gaoyou, and attacked Yangzhou.

And after arriving in Gaoyou, the young man heard that his teacher had done a remarkable thing.

Zhang Shicheng had just started the incident, and he had no weapons, only a bamboo basket pole. His teacher came up with the idea of ​​attacking at night, taking advantage of the moonlight... Then he tied the crucian carp to the pole, and the scales of the fish reflected cold light, similar to a sword.The defenders were sleepy, and their morale was not good. When they saw the cold light, they turned around and ran away in fright, throwing away all their weapons. Zhang Shicheng successfully defeated the Yuan army.

Once you hear such an outrageous idea, no carbon-based organisms can make it.

Indeed, the teacher who came up with the idea turned out to be a Jinshi of the Yuan court, who later resigned and returned to his hometown to help Zhang Shicheng revolt. His name was Shi Naian.

And this young man who took refuge in the Son of Destiny from Hangzhou is called Luo Guanzhong!

Zhang Shicheng was really lucky in his life to be assisted by these two crouching dragons and phoenix chicks, and he was lucky.

Shi Naian was too old to travel around, so Luo Guanzhong took the initiative to take on the responsibility.

Because on the first day of the new year, Zhang Shicheng officially called Wang Jianguo, and the country name was Zhou.

In order to show the elegant government of the new dynasty, Zhang Shicheng decided to incorporate the forces around him and strengthen himself as soon as possible.

It's just that there are not many forces around Zhang Shicheng that he can win over, only Zhao Junyong and Peng Zao live in Sizhou and Xuyi.

But the two of them have been fighting for a long time, and they don't talk to Zhang Shicheng at all, he is just a rising star, what's there to be ashamed of!We became king much earlier than you.

Zhang Shicheng got frustrated with these two people.

Suddenly got the news that a group of Red Scarf Army occupied Chuzhou.Please tell me that the general who led the army was surnamed Zhu, and he claimed to be the Zhenfu envoy, and he was under Guo Zixing's command.

Guo Zixing?

What is he?Comparable to our King of Zhou?

Luo Guanzhong took the initiative to ask for an order, and came to visit Zhu Yuanzhang with a silk gift, persuading him to submit to the King of Zhou as soon as possible, follow the orthodoxy, and assist the Ming Lord.Wouldn't it be beautiful if the world was settled in the future, and the position of Marquis would still be maintained, the country would be safe and the people happy!

For this errand, Luo Guanzhong is full of confidence, there is no reason for Zhu Yuanzhang not to surrender!If you want money, King Zhou has it; if you want an official position, King Zhou is willing to give it to you!

All in all, if you don't submit to the king of Zhou, can you be a running dog for Yuan Ting?

I can't!

When we see Zhu Yuanzhang, all we need is some words from us to discipline him and surrender.

Luo Guanzhong entered Chuzhou with unparalleled confidence.

But when he first entered Chuzhou, he encountered a commotion.

Many people flocked to the Town God's Temple, and the big guys were talking and laughing, as if it was Chinese New Year.There is nothing wrong with Luo Guanzhong, except that he is very curious.

He inquired about it, and it turned out that there was an opera troupe in this group of troops who wanted to perform for the people in the city.

Luo Guanzhong listened to music, what kind of operation is this?

Isn't the theater troupe acting for the army?

Why did it become a troupe in the army, and let the common people watch the fun?

Could it be that the one surnamed Zhu and Tang Zhuangzong have the same preference and are willing to appear on stage?

After thinking about it, Luo Guanzhong might as well watch the show first!

Do things seriously, the boss will not pity you!

Go to the show first!

This one asked his subordinates to find a place to rest first, and he really wandered to the Chenghuang Temple.

Hey!

There are so many people!

What a good show, can it be so lively?

He huddled among the crowd and listened carefully.Someone knew the whole story, so he introduced it to the big guys. It turned out that this was a story of a warrior in the army who rode alone, entered Huaiyuan, and captured the general of the Yuan army.

It has performed many times in the army and is very popular.

In the past few days, General Zhu saw that there were too many murders in the trial, and the blood flowed like a river. In order to relieve the pressure and soothe the body and mind, he specially approved to perform in the Chenghuang Temple for three days.

do you know?

It's the hero who catches all the money and plays it himself!

Not only he acted in person, but even the Yuan soldiers guarding the city and the guards of the mansion all acted in their true colors, not bad at all!

How many years have you watched the drama? Have you seen this kind of drama?

Luo Guanzhong listened in the crowd, his eyes gradually widened, quite horrified.

Be darling, it's not only the teacher who has fantastic ideas, there are also many ruthless people here!

Riding alone, dare to go deep into the enemy's city, rob the enemy's generals, and leave the city calmly... This is much more exciting than going to the meeting alone.

Could it be that this subordinate named Zhu is also a figure like Guan Yu?

Thinking of this, Luo Guanzhong stretched his neck and watched carefully, for fear of missing the material...

Not long after, the gongs and drums sounded, and the show began.

Wu Datou has performed so many performances, and he has long been familiar with the road. He also found time to find real opera singers, learned breath singing from them, and revised some libretto, which can be said to be quite complete.

As soon as he came up, he shook his big head and sang with a hoarse voice, which immediately received a flood of applause.

When he scolded Yuan Ting for killing weeping ghosts and gods all the way, the people below almost boiled.

In this way, after a play was sung, there were ups and downs and thunderous cheers.Especially when it came time to rush into the mansion to arrest people, Wu Datou added a few words of scolding to Cheli Buhua, which was so hearty and enjoyable.

In the end, he brought Che Li Bu Hua, quick wits, and went out of the city smoothly, which caused a lot of laughter!

This drama is so good, Yuan Ting is like that, Yuan Ting's generals are ugly, greedy, incompetent and useless.Our hero is both wise and brave, peerless!

At the moment, the big guy doesn't have the heart to think about any character design, the dignified general can't be such a waste... all he wants is a good time!

Many people subconsciously touched their pockets, ready to reward money.

But someone reminded him in advance, don't throw money around... This is a hero in the army, he plays himself, and he is entrusted by the governor, if he dares to throw money, he looks down on others and will be misunderstood.

The big guy had no choice but to keep applauding.

His hands turned red, and his voice became hoarse.

Wu Datou had to come out again, thank you guys, come back to the scene... He also announced in public that he is already rehearsing a new play, the name is "Mu Family Ancestral Hall", and it is about why the aristocratic family should be eradicated and the land should be divided equally story.Due to the larger scale of the play, more personnel were used.

The army has already started recruiting those who can sing operas, and they will be able to earn a military salary by then.

Please rest assured, as long as you join the army, no matter what you do, it is all for the sake of the superior, and there will be absolutely no discrimination.

Of course, since he joined the army, he had to get rid of his old habits and become a serious hero!

Wu Datou has become a signboard for communicating with the people, and immediately there are singers and stringers, expressing their willingness to join the army... On the stage, there are laughter and laughter, and they mingle together.

Luo Guanzhong watched silently, suddenly he had mixed feelings.

There is a teacher on King Zhou's side. The Water Margin is such a good show, but it has not been staged, and the military and civilian relations are also different from here.

Moreover, the leading actor surnamed Wu also said that the new play is about eradicating powerful people and dividing the fields equally...why is it different from what he thought?

Luo Guanzhong felt that he seemed to be oversimplifying things.

He was ready to think carefully before going to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

But just as he came out of the crowd, he saw several soldiers head-on, the young man at the head was less than 20 years old and full of energy.

He took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "I am Guo Ying from a thousand households under Zhu Zhenfu's command. I have been ordered to invite Mr. Luo to the magistrate's yamen."

Luo Guanzhong was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Guo Ying chuckled, "Mr. Luo brought two hundred bolts of silk and satin. If we don't know, then wouldn't we have lost a large piece of tax revenue?"

Luo Guanzhong was even more surprised, "You still collect commercial tax?"

"It's natural. There is no business tax when you enter the city. Don't you drink the northwest wind?"

Luo Guanzhong blinked his eyes, it seems that the King of Zhou is still relying on battles and robbing to live...

Chapter 74 Luo Guanzhong?Jiang Gan!

"Zhang Shicheng sent someone here, how should we deal with it, let the two gentlemen come up with an idea."

Since Jia Lu is still in Dingyuan, Li Shanchang and Zhang Ximeng are the only ones who can advise Lao Zhu, and this time Li Shanchang is very honest, and said directly: "I have already been dizzy and troubled when dealing with prisons these days. Let Mr. Zhang talk about it!"

Obviously, Li Shanchang has also entered the role more and more. Although he is the No. 1 civil official in name, he is mainly responsible for administrative affairs. These military and political general plans are still under the supervision of Zhang Ximeng, and this young man does have some unique features.

Facing Luo Guanzhong who was about to meet, Zhang Ximeng had nothing to worry about. What can he expect from a stinky character!
