Chapter 278 Return to Shandong(1/2)
"Dongweng, things are a little bit bad..."
Most of the hour later, Master Liang hurried back to the Zhou Palace and respectfully came to Hou Xun.
"oh?"
"Then, what conditions did Xu Changqing put forward?"
Hou Xun had been anxious and anxious at this long time. He drank several pots of tea. He hurriedly suppressed his anxiety and looked at Master Liang calmly.
Master Liang smiled bitterly: "Dongweng, the student met Xu Changqing, but he didn't give the students a chance to speak. I'm afraid we were wrong from the beginning. Xu Changqing doesn't need us much..."
After saying that, Master Liang gave a deep tribute, which was even more exaggerated than the Japanese, but his eyes were secretly paying attention to the movements of Hou Xun's legs.
There will be times when riding the wind and waves, and the sails of clouds will spread across the sea!
In the past twenty years, although Liang Feng has not been able to make it through the road, even though he has paid countless hard work and price, he has been bleeding from the head, Liang Feng believes that even if he cannot get through the imperial examination, he still has the talent of the world and the world, but lacks an opportunity!
The old master Hou Xun in front of him did give him a chance, but he understood only when he was really in the game...
The difference between this Master Hou Ge and Xu Changqing is like the difference between a domestic rabbit and a fierce tiger!
Therefore, after realizing the reality, he did not hesitate too much and bowed his head to Xu Changqing's tiger like a dog.
What Liang Feng did not expect was that Xu Changqing did not set any harshness on him, but instead gave him endless trust.
This made Liang Feng further understand that if Mr. Hou Ge wants to fight with Xu Changqing, he is destined to die without a burial place.
Liang Feng finally managed to seize such an opportunity after struggling to survive. How could he let it go easily?
Even if someone is scolded as a "Erwuzi" and is notorious, how can it change the reality? It is more important to hug Xu Changqing's thick leg?
"What should I do?"
Hou Xun couldn't help but grow older again in an instant, as if he had suffered from an elderly Parkinson, and his whole body was trembling a little uncontrollably.
He also realized that he was too arrogant at this time.
How could the officials in the court not see the opportunity? But why is no one willing to come to this muddy water?
It’s no wonder they all realized the danger!
It’s ridiculous that he had been away from the center of power for several years, but he still thought he had the talent of "Great the Zong and Lianheng". He wanted to make a fortune and eat a big fat man in one bite.
It was not until he truly faced this terrible reality that he understood how cruel reality is and how naive he is...
"Brother Liang, now, do you have a clever plan to help you break this situation?"
Looking at Hou Xun's trembling appearance, Master Liang kept shaking his head in his heart.
This is not to know, but to be shocked.
Fortunately, it’s lucky!
God opened his eyes and made the right choice in time.
Otherwise, Liang Feng would probably not be able to keep a little bit of scum.
However, his core job at this time was to guide Hou Xun. He quickly adjusted his mentality and said respectfully: "Dongweng, for the sake of this plan, if you want to break the deadlock, you may only take action yourself. Although Xu Changqing is young and seems to have little experience, his influence in the army is unparalleled. Moreover, he has a noble bloodline and is the guard of the emperor, so they are almost impossible for them to pick on his thorns. Once he picks on it, it will be time to turn against him..."
Hou Xun nodded slowly and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Oh~."
After a while, he sighed, "After all, this matter is a big deal. Forget it. Now that things have come to this point, I have also given this old face. Brother Liang, you should immediately submit a message to Bo Zhongyi, and I will visit him in person."
"yes."
...
However, what Hou Xun never dreamed was that in the evening, his visit was directly rejected by Xu Changqing on the grounds that his military affairs were busy.
Xu Changqing did have some small military affairs to accompany many soldiers to have supper.
But this meal was only a quarter of an hour. After dinner, Xu Changqing returned with Chuxue and Zuo Mengmei.

Room……
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Hou Xun handed over the third letter of prayer that he finally received a reply from Xu Changqing for an interview in the afternoon.
This made Hou Xun feel like he was granted a general amnesty in an instant, and it was really like the imperial examination that year that he passed the gates of hell...
"Gei Master, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. All the matters have been complicated these days, and it's really a sin to neglect Master."
When Hou Xun arrived at Dongdaying, Xu Changqing had been waiting outside the door for a long time and enthusiastically invited Hou Xun into the guest hall.
The two of them exchanged a few greetings, Chu Huanhuan, the bright and charming Chu Xue personally presented fragrant tea. Her pretty appearance made Hou Xun slightly lost his mind for a moment.
Fortunately, Hou Xun quickly came to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Master, I have been thinking a lot these days. Speaking of which, I am old, now, whether it is energy or physical strength, I can't keep up with the current rhythm."
Xu Changqing smiled: "What are you talking about? You are getting stronger and stronger. I, the Ming Dynasty, need a mature and polite old minister like you to stabilize the current situation."
Hou Xun's eyes lit up immediately.
Xu Changqing's words mean a bit too much.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Brother, I don't know what ideas do you have about Kaifeng and repaying merits?"
Xu Changqing smiled and savored the fragrant tea: "I wonder what the Ge Lao has?"
Hou Xun was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
At this moment, he finally understood what choice he should make to overcome the difficulties in front of him.
But at this point, he had no chance to choose.
He hurriedly said, "Brother, after all, you won the battle. This reward must be based on you. As for Kaifeng City, it must be based on the people of Kaifeng City. Now, the court really cannot afford too much money and food for the time being."
Xu Changqing smiled but said nothing, just looking at Hou Xun.
Hou Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly, but could only meet Xu Changqing's gaze.
Everything is in vain.
...
After reaching a true agreement with Hou Xun and becoming a community of interests, the next thing really comes into track.
According to the current situation, if the court wants to use troops against the bandits, it will have to wait at least this year's tax revenue, which will be delayed until October or November.
However, this is only the smoothest case.
When Hou Xun came forward, the big boss of Donglin came forward, there was no problem with Jiangnan's taxes to delay for ten days and half a month.
In addition, Hou Xun has some relationship with the Governor of the Grand Canal, and it can be delayed for another ten days and half a month.
In addition, some miscellaneous relationships can ensure that the taxes in Jiangnan this year must be in Beijing after the New Year!
The court still owed Xu Changqing a lot of food and salary for the Battle of the Central Plains, let alone the reward for the victory of this war.
This means that Xu Changqing is almost able to return at this time.
If the food and wages cannot be brought down, the matter of sending troops will definitely not be completed.
Finally I can have some breathing opportunity.
But Xu Changqing certainly could not spend all his time on these trivial trivial matters. If nothing unexpected happens, the Dorgon brothers will definitely make some moves by the end of the year!
If the two brothers want to sit firmly on the throne under their butts, they must use the Ming Dynasty to sacrifice the flag!
In another time and space, Shandong was the most seriously injured area this time when the Qing army entered the pass.
Because the Qing army entered the pass several times, including the surrounding areas of the capital, they were almost robbed.
Although the historical trajectory at this time has changed, Xu Changqing understood very well that it would be fine if Dorgon did not enter the pass this time. Once he entered the pass, it would be more severe to Shandong, to be precise, the harm to Shandong Left Association will definitely be worse!
If a dog changes to eating shit, is it still a dog?
...
On August 18, Xu Changqing led the main force of the model army to officially set off for Shandong.
Also walking with tens of thousands of people from Kaifeng City.
Xu Changqing handed over the affairs of rewards and court affairs to the old fried dough stick Hou Xun.
This thing is actually very simple to deal with!
The core of Hou Xun is to "re-name" Xu Changqing, although he cannot be promoted to Hou
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Jue can add a string of rewards to Xu Changqing's title, including gold medal arrows and other things.
In ordinary times, Xu Changqing naturally has no reason to accept this, but this is the name of righteousness.
But for the sake of the overall situation, Xu Changqing would definitely not accept it, but asked the court for the food and wages they could not get at the moment.
The two sides are now in a row and dragging pace.
Of course, Kaifeng City's current status is also a big trouble.
Xu Changqing also received a lot of benefits from them, especially the King of Zhou.
