Chapter two hundred and ninety-four the friendship of Weng and son-in-law(2/2)

Moreover, the Zhu Yisect, the King of Lu, liked to play and had no political ambitions. Since the Jiajing generation, his blood relationship with the emperor became very distant, so the King of Lu did not have too strict control. As long as he did not leave Yuyang City without the will of the court, everything would be up to him.

Zhu Yi party has a very preference for women in Jiangnan, which has become a well-known thing in the wealthy circle of Yanzhou City. Every year, there is a purchase from the royal palace. A few talents who are specially trained to serve men in Yangzhou and Suzhou are transported back to Yuyang City in May every year. This has become a common practice.

Zhu Yi, the King of Lu, was extremely close to his younger brother Zhu Yihai. After buying a woman every year, he would give Zhu Yihai one or two as concubines.

Both brothers were young people's nature, and the housekeeper sent to Jiangnan sent back the news early, saying that he would definitely send people back on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month. The two brothers of Lu were naturally looking forward to it. Who would have thought that there would be no news until after May 12th.

The anxious King Zhu Yisang sent his guards to search for him. Anyway, he came back from Jiangnan and must have to take the water route and make a transfer in Jiningzhou.

This day is May 15th, and it should be the day when the guards come back to tell the news. In fact, for these two brothers, the guards and the people of the Lu Palace treat them according to the attitude of coaxing children. In this era, it is normal to delay a day or two days apart by hundreds of miles apart. Why bother to worry? But these two brothers are so anxious that they always have to take care of their emotions.

After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, King Lu had already scolded the servants several times. Everyone knew that the prince was angry about the woman who had not been delayed or the news that had not been delayed. The head of the royal palace was waiting for the news at the door of the royal palace early to avoid listening to the master's noise in the mansion.

As lunch approached, I was enjoying the singer's dance music in the pavilion, but I heard the butler running over hurriedly, and came to me and shouted:

"Prince, there is news from those who have gone out!"

Hearing this, King Lu stood up from his seat and spoke:

"How long will it take to come, say it!"

The butler's voice suddenly became quiet and he said carefully:

"Report to the prince, they have already arrived in Jiningzhou with their men, but it will take about half a month..."

"You are so slaughtering. I have never left Yuyang City, but I am not confused. Even if you leave Jining and our Yuyang City, it will take less than half a month. Doesn't our palace have a boat in Jiningzhou?"

Before the housekeeper finished his words, the King of Lu had already scolded him, but the two brothers of Lu really had no majesty in this mansion. The housekeeper was not too afraid, and explained calmly:

"Your Majesty, this is not a fault for them. Jiningzhou has been locked down. People from Jining City cannot leave the city before May 13, and those we sent out never brought these."

"Who is it? He actually has such a courage!!"

The more the butler explained, the more angry the young King Lu became. He couldn't help but shout loudly. The butler was not so relaxed when answering this question. Instead, his voice was lowered and he whispered:

"The prince is Shandong general Li Meng..."

"A general is so arrogant and domineering. Is it him or the lonely family?"

This time the housekeeper did not speak out, but instead Zhu Yihai, the younger brother of the King of Lu, shouted in a deep voice:

"Brother Wang, don't speak nonsense. In this Qilu land, there is no place where our Lu Palace speaks? Who dares not listen to Li Meng's words?"

After saying this, the angry King Lu did not speak. He had indeed never left Yuyang City, but he had also heard of Li Erlang's name.

Jiningzhou is now in chaos. It is not a big deal to not leave the city within ten days without an official position or a road. What makes people even more complaining is that most of the ships passing by Jining have been detained, and only ships transporting grain to the capital were released.

The remaining ships must be searching for warehouses, unloading goods, merchants and friends go ashore to find inns, while boatmen and sailors must stay on the ship.

Although the canal ships are not detained, this action itself is too shocking. However, merchants who often travel on this waterway all know the severity and interests, especially the forces that require them to do this, so despite their complaints, they still do what kind of actions they should do.

Of course, there are also some travelers and other identities who have been walking here for the first time, such as the guards of the Lu Palace.

It was not a glorious thing for the relatives of Jiangnan to go to learn from those salt merchants and wealthy men to purchase women. The guards of the Prince of Lu's mansion were always unwilling to identify their identities when they were walking outside.

However, if someone is meddling in business, especially those in the government, then show his identity. The guards of the Lu Palace and the relatives of the Ming Dynasty. Once this identity is revealed, the people in the government retreat. These guards of the royal palace feel very fun in such matters.

This time they were delayed on the road, and they also knew the temper of their prince. They wanted to stop taking the time and return to Yuyang City.

But the officers and soldiers of the Yanzhou Army received the order and naturally would not let these people leave. As a result, there was a conflict between the two sides on the dock. The Yanzhou Army had many soldiers and were holding weapons in their hands. The guards of the Prince of Lu's Mansion did not dare to do it easily, so they had to show their identity.

The soldiers who stopped them were all new recruits from Jiaozhou camp. When they heard that they were servants of the vassal kings, they were a little brave. They hesitated and did not dare to take action. Seeing the soldiers of the Yanzhou army like this, the guards of the Prince of Lu's mansion became arrogant and opened their mouths and cursed, but went to the ashore to untie the cables and push and shoved the soldiers guarding the other side.

The new recruits of the Yanzhou Army had weapons in their hands, but were frightened by the other party's name and did not dare to use force. There were many people on the dock who were detained by Jiaozhou Camp. Those merchants who often walked on this waterway arranged their goods after getting off the ship and went directly to find an inn to wait with peace of mind.

On this pier are those who are new to the palace and are clamoring for conflict when they see the royal guards soaringly.

The scene became a little wrong for a moment, but it calmed down very quickly. Several non-commissioned officers chatting around heard something was wrong here, so they came to check it together.

Seeing the guards of the royal palace who were pushing, a non-commissioned officer picked up a thick bamboo pole on the dock without saying a word, put on a spear, and stabbed it flatly along the gaps between the crowd.

The bamboo pole was very long. The guards of the royal palace were standing on the edge of the dock again. In the midst of a noise, a bamboo pole suddenly stabbed towards him. Before the person who was stabbed could react, his chest was heavily concentrated and fell directly into the water from the dock. Then he heard the non-commissioned officers cursing behind him:

"Take care about his bird, whoever you eat, whoever your sword and gun are you holding, and you are afraid of a ball!"

After a while, almost all the guards of the royal palace were knocked into the river. The merchants who were still clamoring were silent and did not dare to say another word.

On May 11, Jiaozhou Camp went to the army to conquer Henan and recruited enough ships, whether they were loading food supplies or transporting soldiers and horses.
