Chapter 340: Not obeying the order and taking two concubines

"If our family hadn't had bad luck, we wouldn't have come to Jinan City this time. We were unlucky and we must go to worship the Bodhisattva!"

The eunuch who sent the imperial eunuch sat in the carriage and kept complaining to the coachman that it was a very bad job to send orders to the local military generals. Adjusting the defense was equivalent to causing trouble for the local military generals. Let them leave their familiar territory, and no one would give them any good faces.

The order to Li Meng was the worst among the bad jobs. General Zhendong and General Shandong, Li Meng, was called "Li Bujie" among these eunuchs and Jinyiwei who often deal with outsiders.

The reason why it is called this is nothing more than that the biting dog does not bark, it is a very vicious name.

The civil and military officials and civil servants in the world and the inner officials in the palace have some ways to deal with each other. For example, if you know the other party’s preferences or have the other party’s handle, even if there is no one, everyone will look up and see each other, and the mountains and rivers will turn around. Perhaps there will be a day of goodbye, so you will always save three points of face.

But Li Meng was not in the five elements at all, and jumped out of the three realms. He seemed to be a common sense and cognitive existence. When dealing with this person, he was completely inconspicuous and could not figure out his joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness. If he was not careful, he would suffer a loss. Maybe he would suffer a great loss.

The internal officials are well-informed, and in addition to their own family dealing with Shandong Li Meng, they naturally get this impression.

I came to Jinan City to announce the order and ordered the defense. I really don’t know what kind of trouble I will encounter.

As a result, when Wang Chengen arranged his errands to the lower level, no one of the eunuchs on duty in the inner court was willing to go and refused to let each other go. In the end, they actually played Paijiu and rolled the dice.

The eunuch sent was not lucky, but he was a bachelor. He chatted and laughed with several Jinyiwei who were accompanying him along the way, making jokes. The Jinyiwei sitting next to the coachman couldn't help but smile when he heard the eunuch complaining:

"Old Xiao, you don't have to be afraid of being like this. No matter how fierce Li Wuying is, he can still eat us in Jinan. He has a little bit of a temper, so let's bear it, just pretend it suddenly rains..."

A group of people riding horses and carriages laughed, and the eunuch who was delivering the order smiled sharply:

"Brothers, wait until this errand is done, and we will go back to the capital to have a drink together. Our family will be the host."

The people around were applauding, and the atmosphere was particularly high for a moment.

The treatment of Zhang Ruoqi, the head of the Ministry of War, came to Jinan City to inspect the troops and horses, was still widely circulated among these lower-level officials and eunuchs. It is indeed a headache to go to Jinan City.

But when these people enter Shandong, they don’t have to walk like in Northern Zhili. They have to stay in the city every night, otherwise bandits will be rampant in the wilderness, and even if there are dozens of Jinyi Guards escorting them, they dare not say they are safe. In Shandong, there are stations along the way.

Moreover, walking on the official road, except for the patrol cavalry and horse teams, they were all pedestrians and business trips, and along the way were farmers who were plowing in spring. Looking at the scenery of Shandong, it always means that the peaceful year is the scene.

Zhang Ruoqi, a scholar like Zhang Ruoqi, knew the scenes of the people, and could not detect anything when he saw them. However, the eunuchs and Jinyiwei sent out this time were both unsatisfied. They lived a hard life in their lives, and they knew how the people below lived.

Besides, they are actually no different from the people. They are amazed when they see Shandong. Shandong is completely different from Northern Zhili. There are people in the Jinyiwei who have been to other provinces. They are surprised to see this. They say that even the places in the south may not be so peaceful.

This difference made these people even more nervous, feeling that this job could not judge the result and treat the other party. The closer they got to Jinan City, the more they were.

They thought Jinan City was like a dragon's nest, and they thought they would be locked outside the city for a few days. Who would have thought that when Jinan City was in charge of reception, the minor official in charge of reception was still polite. On the first day of arrival, they were invited to Jinan City and arranged to live in a good inn, and the food and consumption were also of particular importance.

I have never heard of anyone receiving such good treatment in Jinan City, but today it is used on us, which makes people even more worried.

What was even more unexpected was that I thought that I would have waste some talk, but who would have thought that on the first day of the city, I was invited to the General Army Office the next day, and set up incense tables and various essential utensils. The head of Shandong Governor Yan Jizu, and Shandong General Li Meng took over the decree together.

Li Meng's troops were transferred to Hengshui and stationed in Yizhou. Shandong General Li Meng accepted the order meticulously and respectfully according to the full set of etiquettes of local etiquettes.

The more eunuch Xiao was reading the order, the less he heard it, and he always felt that this matter was very strange.

After Li Meng shouted "I received the order to thank me", he stood up from the ground, and his personal soldiers next to him gave it to him with red envelopes of gold and silver, which was considered a necessary and regular money.

This was like doing things according to the rules, which made Eunuch Xiao sweat all over. He thought, if there was something else to do later, but he heard Li Meng say:

"When this father-in-law returned to the capital, he would have to submit the letters together, so that I would not send an expedited messenger to Shandong."

After saying that, he directly spoke at Yuan Wenhong behind him. Yuan Wenhong, the chief clerk of Jiaozhou camp, quickly handed over the memorial that had been drafted long ago to Eunuch Xiao. Li Meng said calmly:

"Li was infected with the cold during this period of time, and the soldiers and generals below were all hungry. It was really a dilemma for the soldiers to adjust their defenses. It would take some time to delay the processing. Please ask the imperial envoy to return to Beijing to report!"

Li Meng clearly stated that he would delay, but the eunuch Xiao and the Jinyiwei who came with him breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, this respectful and polite attitude would make people feel cold. Speaking of this, it was extremely ironic. If the generals were not domineering and arrogant, if they followed the rules completely, the people from the capital would feel abnormal.

Now Li Meng said simply that he could not be mobilized for the time being, but instead made them feel that everything was back on track.

The capital said that it was necessary to mobilize troops, but Li Meng replied that it was impossible to mobilize for various reasons. This was how the matter was settled, and the order was received and the memorial was submitted. What Li Meng did was to leave enough face for the court. Everyone pinched their noses and the matter was exposed.

Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and even Liu Zeqing of that year, the imperial court dispatched them to change defenses, and the decree and the Ministry of War's documents and dozens of orders were also available.

These military generals never listened, so Liu Zeqing used the reasons such as getting sick, falling off a horse, having trouble at home, and even having strong winds in Shandong, but he was still not moving. The court had no choice but to make sure that he had to withdraw his order or to make up for his documents and orders, which was also considered as giving him some decent attitude.

What Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, said was to adjust defense, just look at Shandong General Li Mengping, acting low-key and honest, and thought the other party would be obedient.

But he was obviously not as old as Zhou Yanru, no matter how low-key the general was, as long as his strength was not damaged, the court would use him without any means of checking the troops and improving his deputy. He also hoped that the other party would be honest and obedient to adjust the defense and change the base.

Shandong General Li Meng was just lukewarm and replied to the court according to etiquette and procedures: I won’t leave. The court and the Ministry of War are completely helpless. The other party’s army is stationed, can we send more official troops to expel it? As for the use of pay and silver, this is even more funny. You haven’t given Li Meng’s troops a copper coin for nearly ten years. Do you think the other party will still care about the military pay?

Eunuch Xiao listened to Li Meng's unyielding reason for not following the order, and did not dare to say a word of refutation. He just listened with a smile, with a very respectful look.

Governor Yan Jizu and Shandong General Li Meng left directly after receiving the order, and there was no need for them to stay in this place for too long.

Seeing that the brigade left the main hall where he received the order, only Eunuch Xiao and the Jinyiwei escorted him were left in the room. Eunuch Xiao then reached out and pulled off the collar of his back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself:

"This errand is really hard to handle. My back was covered with cold sweat, but it was finally over. We brothers and others rushed back to the capital. We stayed in Shandong for one more day and felt uncomfortable."

The Jinyiwei next to him was about to express his feelings, but they all stopped talking. They winked at the eunuch Xiao repeatedly. Eunuch Xiao turned around and looked around. But Yuan Wenhong turned around and walked in.

Eunuch Xiao suddenly felt nervous, thinking that the few words he had just said would be a bad thing if the other party heard them. However, Yuan Wenhong did not mention what he had said just now and said with a smile:

"Sir, you came this time, but you have a good opportunity. My general will take a concubine tomorrow. You are invited as guests. This time, you didn't invite any foreign guests, but you guys are just right."

When he heard such a good thing, Eunuch Xiao vaguely understood why he treated him so well along the way. He couldn't escape the land when he participated in other people's weddings, wine and meat. Moreover, Li Meng's status with such a high status would not care about his red envelope gifts. Sure enough, Yuan Wenhong said with a smile again:

"The red envelopes and gifts are exempted. My boss said that since he is here, he is destined to be together. There is also a share of money for everyone here."

Yes, there is wine and meat to eat, fun to watch, and money to get it. Eunuch Xiao and his party suddenly felt that the image of Shandong general Li Meng suddenly became much more friendly. It turned out to be a great person.

Yuan Wenhong said politely:

"Since I am a guest of my adult family, it is a bit simple to live in the inn. My grandmaster told you to prepare the best inn in Jinan City for you, so you can go there to rest!"

Good things are one after another. Eunuch Xiao and others are small eunuchs and Jinyiwei schools of the Jinyiwei. After the order was passed, the errands were completed. There was also such a festive ceremony to attend. Everyone was happy and the group had no moral integrity. They followed them out with shouting.

Eunuch Xiao and Yuan Wenhong were walking in the front and set a distance between them from behind. Yuan Wenhong lowered his voice slightly and said with a smile:

"I heard that Eunuch Xiao and our old man in charge had a relationship with each other?"

The old master of the General's Mansion naturally refers to the old eunuch Liu Fulai. The old eunuch Liu Fulai was taken down from the position of the eunuch in Nanjing and was demoted to the people. When he was powerless and powerless, he was taken in by Li Meng, the "nephew" of the general, and welcomed him into his family with filial piety and support. Even though the eunuch was powerful, he was often lonely and helpless when he was old, so he went to take possession of his adopted sons.

But these adopted sons are often snobs and are not reliable at all. Therefore, the old eunuch Liu Fulai was lucky and spread widely in the inner court. It is said that Liu Fulai didn't know how much he accumulated virtue and good deeds in his previous life, so he was so lucky. Even the eunuch Wang Chengen once told his confidants:

"Although Liu Fulai is not as good as Yi Bai Ding at the moment, he is much more blessed than our family."

Moreover, this inner court is also a place for seniority. After all, Liu Fulai served as a master of the Sili Supervisor and the eunuch in Nanjing. This eunuch Xiao cannot be on the table. After all, it is on the other party's territory. And speaking of all, the two really fought and fought when they were in the capital.

Eunuch Xiao quickly said politely:

"The word "father-in-law" is not allowed. When we were learning to read in the inner court, Eunuch Liu gave us a lot of advice. I still feel that I have benefited a lot and always want to have a chance to repay and thank you, but I am not good at it. I am still like this, hehe..."

After saying this, the two sides got in the car and became much closer to each other. Yuan Wenhong smiled, regardless of eunuch Xiao's politeness just now, he continued to ask:

"Are there any relatives in Eunuch Xiao's family?"

Eunuch Xiao vaguely guessed what the other party was saying, but he was not sure. He was a little excited. He didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity to be bribed. He immediately replied calmly:

"Our family is from Renqiu. When we were young, our family was poor, so we found an acquaintance to send our family to the palace. Our brother had tuberculosis last year. My sister-in-law pulled a man and a woman, and life was difficult. Although our family was a supporter, we might not be able to take care of ourselves... Alas, that's the incense of the Xiao family."

Yuan Wenhong had a gentle smile on his face. When he heard Eunuch Xiao say this, his smile became even stronger. Looking back, the entourage guards and the officials from Jiaozhou camp in the direction of the way were chatting happily. No one was taking care of this. Yuan Wenhong lowered his voice slightly and said:

"Renqiu comes and goes to the places where soldiers are not peaceful and poor. Shandong has a good year in the past two years. It is better to move here and take care of it nearby. You have a bit of a passion for our old man. This is my own relationship. I will definitely not treat my sister-in-law Ling and her nephews with her."

If those eunuchs with responsibilities and local responsibilities, Yuan Wenhong's blunt words would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion, thinking what they meant to buy like this.

But this eunuch Xiao was originally from a humble background. He was sent to this Shandong place because he lost the dice. He was used to being poor. People these days have a great view of the inheritance of incense. This eunuch Xiao would not think about anything strange and agreed willingly.

But after Yuan Wenhong said those words, Eunuch Xiao hesitated for a while, and then spoke for a while:

"Our nephew looks smarter than others. Can we arrange to study and learn to read in Shandong..."

Yuan Wenhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. He thought that the other party had any unacceptable conditions. This small request was enough for the public school in the military farm. The nephew of the eunuch Xiao could even enter a private school that serves civilians. It was too simple.

Eunuch Xiao was satisfied with his promise. Jiaozhou Camp did his best and would definitely have some requirements for Eunuch Xiao, and he would naturally raise it when the time comes.

The wife's wife and children of the Xiao family were taken to Shandong for support, but there were also hostages in the hands of the other party. Whatever you do in the future and how you do things will be controlled by Shandong. Of course, if you get the benefits, you have to do things. This is also the rule of doing things.

When the Jinyiwei was staying in the evening, they were all taken to a small room to entertain, and they didn't know what each other was doing.

There were also Jinyiwei who met "relatives and friends" in Shandong at night. Jinyiwei was hereditary military households in the capital for generations, and many people have relationships such as relatives. Many people from Huang Ping's subordinates had a relationship with these people. What they had discussed in detail was not something outsiders said.

Anyway, when I went out the next day, everyone in the imperial envoy seemed to be fine and still looked the same.

General Zhendong, left governor, and general of Shandong, Li Mengli, held a concubine ceremony in his mansion in March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

The day before, he said that he was in poor health in front of the imperial envoy, and held a concubine ceremony the next day. This was indeed contradictory and amused, but no one would say this without any worries.

Yan Ruoran is the wife, and it caused a sensation in Shandong during the wedding. Mu Yunyao is one of the core figures in the Jiaozhou camp. Although he is a concubine, Shandong civil and military officials attach great importance to it. Compared with the two, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi are indeed inferior. Moreover, although the status of these two girls in the inner account room is not low, they have no reputation outside. This is the private intelligence work of the inner house. However, unlike Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao, Li Meng's concubine this time, although there are not many people invited to post, he has really rebelled in provinces outside Shandong.

The first place in the Southern Song Dynasty, Gu Hengbo, the beautiful willow in Jiangnan is famous everywhere, and it is the place where fireworks in the Qinhuai River in Jiangnan, and it is very popular. However, when the statement was at its peak, it was plundered by the eunuchs in Nanjing and sent to Shandong to serve as a concubine for his nephew Li Meng. The poor two famous flowers withered, and two strange women who were rare were humiliated by the rude Shandong martial artist. This vulgar and uncivilized martial artist knows how to burn incense, listen to music, and how to use poetry? It would not be like the cheapest yellow croaker. Just like...

I don’t know how many scholars and literati from Jiangnan who admired the two women wrote to mourn the two women, regretting that they had pitiful fate and that they had not seen the style of the two women.

Of course, there were also those dirty scholars who wrote erotic novels, describing the fate of two poor strange women, such as beatings and humiliation, and stories like Li Meng forced to receive those military generals. There are countless stories, and for a time, Luoyang was also expensive.

The scholars in the late Ming Dynasty had the best gossip. Especially the gossip of famous people. Wang Shizhen, a famous scholar in the Wanli Dynasty, wrote a book on the history of the earth. It was very clear that Xu Da was given a steamed goose by Zhu Yuanzhang and died on the same day. After his death, Zhu Yuanzhang was barefoot and carried paper money with a mourning stick. He went to Xu Daling to mourn. He forgot that Xu Da died in Beijing, and Zhu Yuanzhang was in Nanjing... and the eternal book "Jin Ping Mei". It is said that it was written to attack and allusion to Zhang Juzheng.

Now that the party struggles are fierce, the two sides not only attack each other in the court, but even the novels have become tools for party struggles. In the end, they have developed to the limit. The masterpiece "Gu Wangyan" compiled by the scholars of Donglin after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. In it, the eunuch party members, even the eunuch party members, were not eunuch party members at all, but the people of the enemy of Donglin, became disobedient, promiscuous, and even had sex with beasts. They were very good.

Li Meng was originally a martial artist and could not enjoy this treatment, but after such a fuss, he enjoyed the status of Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying in advance. As for the people of Nanjing, there was a saying that "General Li robbed his bride - a cow chewed peonies". Some people imitated Song and Yuan dynasties, such as "Grain of Yanzhou" and "Li Zhailang", which wrote many compilations of General Li, which were prosperous. Because of this, Li Meng's reputation in Nanzhili and Zhejiang was not very good, especially among scholars, who had always criticized him. When the canal transportation card was charged, Jiangnan

Shilin was almost infuriated. The woman who used to touch everyone was only touched, but now she dared to touch everyone's wallet. It is unbearable. The Master said: "Repay grievances with righteousness." Everyone is a disciple of a saint, so naturally he must practice the way of a saint. It is really a new and old hatred. Among them, Donglin scholars almost began to mobilize. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he attacked political enemies. The most cruel crime was "eunuch party". Li Meng was firmly labeled on his head, and there was no way to argue, because Liu Fu, the eunuch in Nanjing, had indeed sheltered and cared for Li Meng for a long time, and there was also a scholar who wrote.

Wen said that this Shandong general Li Meng was a remnant of Wei Yin back then. He had been lurking for a long time and had a ill-intention. If he was allowed to become bigger, there would be unexpected disasters in the future. Some people wrote an article saying that military generals were rampant and illegal, and this was especially true for Li Meng. The reason why the military generals in the world were so domineering was because they were not punished when they took Gu and Liu, which led to great damage to the laws. What is even more incredible is that when Li Meng was a general, he killed nearly a thousand Tartars in Qihe County. The great victory of Li Meng in Qihe County was colluding with the Tartars outside the pass. This Li Meng was a remnant of Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong wanted to shed Ma Dengzhou and take

Nanjing was like a hand, so the chess piece buried in Laizhou. Later, Kong Youde and others made trouble. Li Meng did not run out and lurked to subvert the Ming Dynasty. He had already defected to the Tartars and was named the prince. He wanted to help the Tartars to acquire this colorful world. Zhang Bangchang and Qin Hui were all along the way. As for the statements such as setting up checkpoints in the canal, collecting money, having ulterior motives and having ill-hearted intentions, they were already a mess and were not worth discussing. The gentry of the Ming Dynasty was all public and forgetful. Everyone was clean and innocent, and every family was bare. Where would they come from any business? How could they be exploited by Li Meng?
