Zhao Jiu finally sneered, sat up, and then asked Mrs. Guo who was kneeling below and did not dare to raise her head: "Mrs. Guo, I want to ask you, what did Zhang Jun promise you? Is the house a beautiful concubine, or is it a promotion to two

Senior officer?"

"Not even allowed!" Mrs. Guo still didn't dare to raise her head and just kowtowed. "In front of the official, I don't dare to say a word of lies!"

"Then why did you go there?!" Zhao Jiu finally frowned.

"Because the Yue Family Army is too restrictive!" Mrs. Guo quickly explained. "This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Exercise every three days, practice every ten days. It's too hard... And Zizhou is next to the Zhang Family Army, and I follow

The Zhang Jiajun people became familiar with it and knew it was easy to go there, so they wanted to go there!"

Zhao Jiu's face was expressionless, but he already believed it, and looking at the few people with military experience around him, they all looked like this... In fact, this kind of thing was very common in the army in the feudal era, and even the imperial army

After the camp system was established, it was still common even in the first two years, and the scale was still very large at that time.

But in the past two years, as the situation has gotten better and better, and the authority of the central government has gradually increased, such things have become rarer. It is more like this now, when hundreds of people change their families, and each has a quota of military pay.

It does not involve real increase or loss of troops, and the commanders of both sides are not willing to go up because of their loss of face.

Of course, I believe it, but I still have doubts, just like knowing it, I always feel unhappy when seeing similar situations.

"Then why did you come back today?" Ren Baozhong saw that the official's expression had not changed for a long time, and he woke up, so he stepped out to ask questions.

I don’t know whether it was because southerners couldn’t understand the northwest accent, or for some other reason, but after being questioned, this person just bowed his head and remained silent.

On the other side, Yue Fei gradually became a little annoyed - it is human nature to be a little angry when encountering this kind of thing, not to mention that this guy didn't know his manners and kept talking about Yue Jiajun and Zhang Jiajun in front of the officials.

These words only caused confusion for him.

"Is it because I know that Lieutenant Yue has made a great contribution this time? He became the governor of the three towns, and the commander-in-chief sat on two sides to watch one, and Zhang Jiajun lost another battle. Did he realize that Yue Jiajun has a bright future here?" Seeing the official

Wang Yan went to bring tea to drink. Wang Yan knew that the official was also angry, so he finally couldn't help but took the opportunity to stab his old subordinate Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was completely furious, so he faced Wang Yan, and he was still in front of the emperor. He was really at a loss, so he simply stood up and scolded Mrs. Guo: "Mrs. Guo, in front of the official family, the commander of the imperial camp, Wang Jiedu, asked you what to say.

What do you have to cover up?!"

After hearing the words, Mrs. Guo finally raised her head, but her face was embarrassed: "I want Jiedu to know, it's not that I don't want to say it, but it's embarrassing to say it... If there are only a few Jiedu in front of me, that's fine, how can I embarrass myself in front of the officials?"

"

"If you don't say anything, it won't be a shame!" Yue Fei narrowed his eyes. "Are you really not afraid of military law?!"

"So that the officials and the lieutenants know that this matter has nothing to do with the future."

Under the eyes, Mrs. Guo finally couldn't hold on any longer, lowered her head and told the truth. "I went to Zhang Jiajun's place. Life was really easy, but at our level, the weapons were sufficient, but the military pay was only 80%...

"

Zhao Jiu, who was drinking tea with his head down, suddenly raised his head, shocking everyone into awe.

"Twenty percent of the pay is missing. A regular soldier will not show up for a month or two, but a year will be enough for Xiao Shiguan." Mrs. Guo, who lowered his head, did not notice anything strange above him, and just continued to explain. "Nian

The younger one sent it home. After a few months, the old lady at home asked her uncle to write a letter to scold her, asking if she was a bad learner. The older one brought his wife to the local area and put the money back, and her wife was also at home.

You are making trouble, are you raising people outside? There must be 200 of the 300 brothers who are uneasy at home. If they are uneasy, they have to come to me for an explanation. The brothers around me are all from the same family and have the same surname. I really can’t survive.

Stay, and then yesterday I heard from the old brothers in the army that Yue Jiedu's four-character banner was coming today, so I came early in the morning to wait. I just asked for Jiedu's forgiveness and allowed us to come back... I didn't expect it.

Officials dressed in red and green suddenly came? If I knew this, I would not embarrass myself even if I died in Qingzhou."

After saying this, there was still silence in the hall. Now, even Mrs. Guo noticed something was wrong, and then became more and more frightened.

"Stay!" After a long pause, Zhao Jiu suddenly picked up the porcelain cup and broke the silence. It was a verbal order and decided on this ridiculous-sounding thing. "It can be said that Pengju is rigorous in running the army.

Proof of your own integrity...keep it!"

Yue Fei quickly stood up and responded, while Mrs. Guo was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

After a while, Mrs. Guo left the lobby of the military camp, and this small incident was over. However, the lobby seemed a bit dull, and almost everyone was guessing what Guan Zhao was thinking.

But soon there was no need to guess. Zhao Jiu just sat in the slightly dull lobby for a while, then stood up with a smile and gave instructions:

"Pengju doesn't want to go back to Jinan, and don't go to Qingzhou with me. Just wait here. Do you understand?"

Yue Fei was slightly startled, then quickly bowed his head and said yes.

Then, the official no longer checked the local troops in Gaoyuan, but stood up and left the military camp. The accompanying honor guard who had just rested for a while was so surprised that he stood up in a hurry and continued to follow the official to the southeast... Look at this

It means that this official only met here in Gaoyuan and then went directly to Qingzhou.

Along with the civil and military personnel, everyone is silent.

It wasn't until the evening of that day, when the time was about to pass, that Wang Yan, the most senior among them, could no longer hold back... Of course, it might also be because of the recommendation of the accompanying ministers... he came forward to advise: "Guardians, you might as well wait until dawn tomorrow.

Cross the river!"

"What's the difference between crossing now and crossing tomorrow morning?" Zhao Jiu, who was riding a horse, smiled at each other.

"We might as well send an envoy ahead to inform Captain Zhang." Fan Zongyin, the accompanying Hanlin scholar, also immediately came forward to plead.

"It's not like I'm going to an enemy territory!" Zhao Jiu still smiled at her. "I'm walking on my own country, do I still need to report?"

"Guan family, we have few soldiers." Even Liu Yan, who has always been a man of few words, couldn't help but move forward. "We might as well ask the troops from Gaoyuan, General Yue Jiedu behind us, to come over and see Guan family off..."

"This is even more of a joke. Within our country, where the imperial army is densely stationed, who do I have to guard against?" Zhao Jiu still smiled.

At this time, even Ren Baozhong, who was a little embarrassed, and Lu Benzhong, who was a little confused, could not wait any longer, so they all stepped forward to persuade him.

But Zhao Jiu had obviously made up his mind. He immediately waved his hand and directly broke the window paper: "You are thinking too much... I and Captain Zhang are not as serious as you think? Huaishang was in such an embarrassing situation that day.

After he stood firm, I regarded him as a confidant. Now when I go to see him, I can communicate with him from the bottom of my heart. Where can you interrupt?"

No one dared to persuade him.

Zhao Jiu did not hesitate, but took the lead, climbed the bridge to cross the river, and stayed on the other side of the river that night.

The next day, Zhao Guanjia abandoned the infantry and most of the civil servants, gathered 700 cavalry, and galloped southeast. After arriving in Linzi in the morning, they rested for a while. After causing Linzi city to panic, Wang Yan was left behind.

Ren Baozhong and some of the imperial squadron stayed in the military camp here, and then left with only his most trusted Liu Yan and 500 cavalry.

In the evening, they finally arrived at Yidu, the capital of Qingzhou. This is where Zhang Jun and his imperial camp right army headquarters were stationed. It was only at this time that Zhao Jiu just ordered a guard of honor to be held.

The rising dragon and the black and white oxen were released together.

Moreover, the soldiers stationed in Qingzhou are of course veterans of Zhang Jun’s imperial camp right army, also known as the veterans of the imperial camp. They are no strangers to Zhao Guan’s family, and they are even more familiar with Long Yu, and the matter of the black and white emperors also passed through Di.

Published in newspapers and widely known.

Therefore, as soon as the ceremonial guard came out, the middle section of the Tian division stationed outside Qingzhou City panicked and ordered all the soldiers not to leave the camp without permission. At the same time, they gathered several commanders and hurriedly chased Dazhen.

When Tian Shizhong came closer, he saw that it was the Imperial Banzhi and Zhao Guanjia. He was completely frightened, but he could only kowtow and say hello by the roadside.

"Where is Boying?"

At this time, Zhao Jiu still looked relaxed. "Tian Qing is just leading the way, don't disturb the people."

Tian Shizhong became more and more at a loss, but he did not dare to say any more words at this time. He just followed the order and led the way to Zhang Jun's residence. As a result, he first met Zhang Jun who was stationed in the city and had served as an imperial minister.

Zi Gai later met Zhang Jun himself, who was in a hurry to greet him. However, when the monarch and his ministers met, they all just bowed casually on the roadside, and then Zhao Guan's family still said the same thing, and only let them lead the way to Zhang's mansion.

The Zhang family's mansion occupies a large area. It is obviously the former residence of a local dignitary. It was given to Zhang Jun during the war and chaos... There is nothing to say about this kind of thing... And Zhao Jiu entered grandly and went straight to the hall to sit down. Zhang Boying headed

, along with Tian Shizhong, Zhang Zigai and other military officials, they naturally knelt down one after another and saluted and greeted again in the hall.

This time, Zhao Guan's family didn't rush to get these people up. They just smiled in the hall and said, "How are you, Boying? Did I scare you this time? Were you as surprised as I was when I went to Cai City that day?"

Zhang Jun raised his head from the ground and smiled bitterly: "The officials came at night and went straight into the minister's bedroom. It is different after all."

"Really?" Zhao Jiu smiled half-heartedly.

"But I was still frightened." Zhang Jun immediately lowered his head again. "The officials... But regarding Zhang Zongyan's matter, did I make the officials angry?"

"I'm not angry." Zhao Jiu thought for a while and responded seriously. "I'm really not angry, or I'm not angry enough... Boying, think about it, if I were really angry, I would have been on the roadside, asking you to

My son-in-law and your nephew, one holding your left hand and the other holding your right hand, why did they come all the way into your home and tell you old stories about Cai with a smile?"

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Let's have a banquet!" Zhao Jiu thought about it again and suddenly said, "I didn't get to eat at your banquet last time, but today, in the twelfth lunar month, I have traveled more than a hundred miles and am really hungry.

Try the freshness of the New Year's dishes from Qilu... Don't call others, even the local magistrates don't need to call, just four or five of us, hold a banquet in the hall and have a good chat."

"I obey your order!" Zhang Jun felt relieved.

They say it's a banquet, but everyone knows that hastily trying to put on a running table like the one Zhang Jun made in the capital is tantamount to nonsense, not to mention that it's still the twelfth lunar month of winter, and even green vegetables are rare.

However, in Zhang Jun's house, there are still meats with soy sauce such as ginger and black bean paste, stored green vegetables, fresh seafood, and local beef, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and goose meat, which is quite abundant.

Not to mention that the accompanying cavalry rarely had a feast outside. There was only a table of five people in the main hall. Zhang Jun carefully arranged it and toasted several times in person. Seeing that the officials refused to come, he

Finally, he tentatively opened the topic again:

"Isn't it true that the official family didn't bring any entourage?"

Zhao Jiu hurriedly swallowed a meatball and raised his hand to indicate: "I brought a few with me, but I met Zhang Qing here and it was useless to bring them here, so I left them all behind."

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly: "The officials are considerate of their subordinates, and I am very grateful."

"Tell me the truth about Zhang Zongyan, did you know before?" Zhao Jiu suddenly turned his head and asked.
