Qin Ce's central army was already responsible for the defense of the capital. Before, due to amnesia, the empress dowager took advantage of the loopholes. Now that he is back, he will be able to raise his arms and shout, and it will be only a matter of time to retake the imperial city. However, in order to ensure the safety of the young emperor, Qin Ce did not make a big move, but made a secret arrangement to prevent the soldiers from being killed.

On this day, his subordinates finally captured the Empress Dowager's legitimate son alive and brought him back to the military camp.

Qin Ce tortured the other party and obtained a list of traitors. That night he prepared to raid the imperial city to clear the court. Several generals gathered in the commander's tent to deduce the sand table, and suddenly heard someone outside report, "General Yu, someone outside the camp is asking for a meeting."

General Yu was Qin Ce's capable general, and General Dingyuan, who had been ordered to protect the Zhu family before. When he found that the governor frowned and showed dissatisfaction, he did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately waved his hand, "It's time for things that have no eyes, even if the Emperor comes, I won't see you! Tell him to leave quickly!"

The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "The other party claimed to be Zhu Ziyu from Qingmin County, and came to deliver food and grass to the general."

As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass are carried out, which shows the importance of food and grass supply to military combat. Several generals all lit up and looked at the governor together.

Why did Ziyu come to deliver food and grass to Yucheng? Qin Ce frowned and waved his hand, "Bring him in. You can leave Yucheng, and you will disperse first."

Several generals bowed and left.

"What is your relationship with Ziyu? Have you ever known each other before?"

The governor's tone sounded very gloomy. Yucheng was slightly shocked and replied quickly, "I have never met Master Zhu. I was ordered by the governor to protect the Zhu family. I think Mr. Zhu is grateful for this, so I came to deliver food and grass."

It was obviously an order issued by himself, but the benefits were made possible by his subordinates. Qin Ce felt very unhappy, but he didn't expect to reveal his identity at this time. He had to avoid it behind the screen and said, "You talk to him, I'll avoid it for now."

Yucheng was confused by him, but he didn't ask too much, so he had to ask Mr. Zhu in.

The curtain was lifted open, and a young man wearing a scarlet gauze dress and beautiful appearance slowly walked in. His thin red lips were naturally raised. Even if he didn't smile, he seemed to have a three-point smile. The peach blossom eyes were shimmering and clear, as if they were affectionate and ruthless, which made people involuntarily sink into it.

This is a person who is comparable to the sun, and he is the focus of everyone's attention wherever he goes.

Yucheng was stunned. After returning to his senses, he looked for cinnabar moles on the other party without any trace. Brother's cinnabar moles usually grow in a very obvious position, either on the wrist, earlobe, or on the eyebrows. The redder the color, the more positive the position, the higher the value. If any brother can grow a bright red cinnabar mole on the eyebrows, it would be like a fairy descending to earth and seeking from all directions.

But it’s a pity that Ren Yucheng couldn’t find the cinnabar mole no matter how hard he looked. He had to regretfully admit that Mr. Zhu was a man, and he looked like this and turned out to be a man. It was a waste of resources!

He was confused in his heart, but Yucheng was not at all visible. He asked straight to the point, "Dare you ask Mr. Zhu why he came to deliver food?" There is no free lunch in the world, and everyone understands this principle.

Zhou Yunsheng didn't say nonsense and bowed, "To be honest, Zhu really wants to ask the general for something. Three years ago, Zhu's parents encountered bandits in the Luoshui area and both died. Luoshui was the general's jurisdiction. Zhu dared to ask the general to send troops to suppress the bandits at the cost of 200,000 dan of food to eliminate the harm to the people."

Although Zhu Ziyu's only wish is to protect the Zhu family, Zhou Yunsheng felt that this was not enough. Since he had robbed someone else's life, he must do his best.

Of course, in addition to this, he also wanted to explore the reality of the Dingyuan General. Yucheng was eight feet tall, with a handsome and cold temperament, and his body exuded a familiar tobacco smell. No matter how you look at him, he looked like his long-lost lover.

If it were normal, Yucheng would naturally not refuse, but the current court situation was in danger. He was carrying heavy responsibilities and was powerless, so he could only apologize, "Your Madam Zhu's request, Yu is afraid that he will not agree to it. To be honest, Yu has more important things at the moment, and he is really a waste of time..."

Zhou Yunsheng knew that he must be worried about the Empress Dowager's capture of the palace, so he waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, when this matter is here, Zhu will bother the general again. The 200,000 harbors of food will be left to the general first, which is Zhu's little intention. The general was escorting the Zhu family before, but Zhu still had time to thank him."

If he doesn't smile, he will be dazzling. When he smiles sincerely, he is so fascinating and dizzy. Yucheng was stunned again and quickly waved his hand and said, "It should be."

Zhou Yunsheng didn't dare to stay in a military important place, so he bowed his hand and was about to say goodbye. When he was about to leave the camp, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you like to smoke dry tobacco?"

"Yes, is Mr. Zhu smelled of the smoke on my body?" Yu Cheng awkwardly flirted with his clothes.

"No, this smells very good." Zhou Yunsheng curled his lips slightly and walked away. He used to feel that the smell of smoke was pungent, but when he couldn't smell it, he suddenly realized that he had already gotten used to it. This was an extremely reassuring smell.

Yucheng's cheeks were flushed red. When he walked away, he found that the governor was standing in front of him, his face dark and his eyes were gloomy.

"Don't smoke dry tobacco again in the future. If you go back, you will throw your gun away."

“Why?”

"It is not good for you to get too much, and you can easily cough when it is cold."

"But Governor, you're even better than me."

"I quit after losing my memory." But now it's time to get it back.

Thinking of this, Qin Ce lowered his head and smelled his arms, and found that there was only a refreshing smell of soapberry without smoke, so he frowned very unhappily.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night, 100,000 soldiers of the central army suddenly surrounded the inside and outside the imperial city, capturing all 137 people from the Empress Dowager's mother's family alive. The Empress Dowager wanted to take the little emperor to break through, but found that the little emperor was missing. His son was tied up at the gate of Cining Palace, and was compared with a steel knife by two soldiers.

The empress dowager was unable to surrender.

In the early morning of the next day, the death knives rang out inside and outside the imperial city. The fourth generation of Emperor Chu Yun died. The throne was passed to the young prince who was less than five years old at that time. He chose the central army commander Qin Ce, the left prime minister Yang Rong, and the right prime minister Huang Bingwen as ministers to assist in the government affairs.

The whole country was mourning for three months. After three months, the young prince ascended the throne, exempted taxes, issued graces, and pardoned the world. Then, a heavy rain suddenly came, bringing the blessing to the Chu Yun Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away. The people bowed to the direction of the palace, saying that the little emperor was the true dragon emperor.

After pacifying the court, Qin Ce, who had inherited the throne of Shenwei, ordered 50,000 soldiers to go to Luoshui to suppress bandits, while his confidants went to the Zhang family to thank him with great gifts.

The grain and silver notes before were naturally not enough to buy Qin Ce's life. This time he added a lot of gold, silver and jewelry and several manors, and sent them to the door of Zhang's house with great fanfare. He also asked famous teachers to teach Zhang's family for a special trip.

The story of the Zhang family saving Shen Weihou spread throughout the countryside. All the people who bullied the Zhang family were retaliated by Zhang Shulin and Zhang Jiarui. Another month later, Zhang Jiarui went to Beijing to participate in the autumn examination, won the sixth place in the second place, and then participated in the spring examination and went back to high school again.

In the final palace examination, the young emperor heard that the Zhang family was kind to the Lord of Shenwei, so he appointed Zhang Jiarui as Tanhualang. It was so proud that the horse's hooves were so anxious that they traveled all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

The former Qingmin County Magistrate was promoted to Zhaozhou magistrate for his contribution to protecting the emperor. Zhang Jiarui naturally replaced him and became the new county magistrate.

Zhang Jiarui, who thought he would stay in the Hanlin Academy, was very dissatisfied with this position. He visited the Shenwei Marquis' Mansion several times to clear the relationship, but he was unable to enter, so he had to take office with a lot of resentment.

Zhang Shulin was very happy, thinking that since his younger brother became the local emperor of Qingmin County, he could show his strength without restraint and not be afraid of offending any local tyrant.

He planned to open a wine shop to make wine. Because no one in Qingmin County planted grapes on a large scale, the purchase cost might be very high, so he planned to buy a mountain to plant it himself. After searching near Qingmin County for a few days, he finally took a fancy to a mountain and asked someone to find out that the mountain belonged to the Zhu family, so he handed a message to Zhu Ziyu.

"Not selling." Zhou Yunsheng refused neatly.

Zhang Shulin still did not give up and increased his reserve price by 10% to return it to the other party to know.

"I said I won't sell it." Zhou Yunsheng won't be cheaper than anyone else.

Zhang Shulin could not do so, so he had to continue wandering the mountains. However, the soil and soil conditions on the other hills were not as good as those of the Zhu family, so he could not grow high-quality grapes. He was a nitpicking Virgo, and he was worried about this.

"He is unwilling to sell?" Zhang Jiarui sneered when he heard about this, "Then I'll come to talk to him in person." As the saying goes, Hedong and thirty years, Hexi are now the parents of Qingmin County. Who can't sell him any face? Zhu Ziyu repeatedly refused his brother's request, and was simply blatantly slapped him in the face.

The county magistrate came to the door in person, and Zhou Yunsheng had to invite people in no matter how bored Zhou Yunsheng was.

The two sat opposite each other, both of them didn't smile under the skin.

"Mr. Zhu, my brother is interested in that mountain. Please give me a price."

"Do you pay a price first?" Zhou Yunsheng picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"What's this number?" Zhang Jiarui stretched out a slap.

Zhou Yunsheng immediately smiled, "My Zhu family spent 800 taels when buying the mountain. You cut off 300 taels for me. Lord Zhang, are you doing business or robbing it openly?"

Zhang Jiarui narrowed his eyes and said, "You give me a benefit today, and I will give you a convenience another day. We benefit each other, and no one can suffer any loss. Mr. Zhu is extremely smart and will definitely make the right choice."

As the saying goes, the people do not fight with officials. A small landlord mainly wants to compete with the county magistrate is like hitting a stone with an egg. However, Zhou Yunsheng is stubborn and the more he is forced, the more he rebounds, and he sneered, "I have nothing to ask for Lord Zhang, and I can't say that I have mutual benefits. I won't sell this mountain, please, Lord Zhang." After saying that, he shook his sleeves and drove people away.

Zhang Jiarui did not expect him to be so tough. His face turned from red to white, and from white to blue. He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Zhu, I hope you don't regret it in the future."

"Why, do you still want to use your power to suppress others? Suppress the benevolent family that the emperor praised, you have to find a good name to achieve it, otherwise you will be careful of the black hat being protected." Zhou Yunsheng pointed to the imperial gold plaque enshrined in the hall and wrote the four words "Benevolent family". With this plaque, people who want to touch the Zhu family have to think about it first.
