Chapter 683 Banquet 1

Chapter 683: Feast 1

It was not until dusk that Jiang Lang walked out of the room and was in the living room. A little eunuch was still waiting there at this time. Although he was a little impatient after waiting for a lot of hours, Jiang Lang's status made him dare not complain at all.

When he saw Jiang Lang, he stood up in a hurry and said, "Master Wang, the emperor invites you to the palace for dinner!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "I'm really embarrassed. I didn't pay attention when I was drinking with my brothers at noon. I drank too much and couldn't get up after sleeping. I'm so tired that my father-in-law has been waiting for a long time!"

The little eunuch immediately said, "It's okay, Lord Wang, please leave. The emperor and all of you are waiting for you in the Imperial Garden!"

Jiang Lang nodded and went out with the little eunuch. Outside the door, a carriage was already waiting there.

After getting on the carriage and driving for a while, when it was getting dark, Jiang Lang arrived at the palace and walked towards the Imperial Garden. When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, the palace was already on its lanterns.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch, Jianglang came to the Imperial Garden. Now the Imperial Garden has lanterns hanging everywhere. Although it is not as bright as day, it is enough to illuminate the entire Imperial Garden. In the small open space, many tables have been set up. Some ministers in the court have already sat on the table and chatted with each other. They don’t know why the emperor summoned them to the palace tonight for dinner, but they still understand that it may have something to do with Jianglang. After all, in the past, the emperor was easy to summon the ministers to have dinner together, but now he is suddenly anxious. Jianglang came back and no reward for the great heroes of the court, because Jianglang now lacks nothing.

Although Jiang Lang was late, these ministers were a little dissatisfied, but they could only be kept in their hearts. After all, Jiang Lang has made outstanding achievements now, and the Dongchang has been firmly controlled by him again. Of course, these ministers also understood that the only consequence of fighting Jiang Lang is death. Although Jiang Lang has always denied that Mr. Qian was killed by himself, these ministers of the court did not think so. In their eyes, Jiang Lang was the murderer of Mr. Qian. Because Mr. Qian threatened his position, especially his control, he took a terrible move.

However, no one dares to say that this was Jiang Lang's move. The first is that there is no evidence. Of course, these make the people of the Qian Eunuch Party feel helpless. However, they also know that at this time, even if there is a certain evidence to prove that Jiang Lang killed Qian Eunuch, Emperor Jingtai would not punish Jiang Lang. To put it bluntly, Mr. Qian is just a eunuch, and Jiang Lang is a minister with outstanding achievements. Apart from military achievements, the rest of the merits are remarkable. Moreover, among the people, Jiang Lang has a popularity that no one can match. If Jiang Lang is punished, it will definitely arouse dissatisfaction among the people. For the Ming Dynasty, stability is the first element. Emperor Jingtai knows that these ministers cannot know, even if Jiang Lang hated him so much,

But there was no way. After experiencing the Wang Zhen Rebellion, the other ministers knew about the danger of eunuch's autocracy. Now Eunuch Qian clearly had this intention. At that time, Eunuch Qian knew that the newly occupied land was not stable, but insisted on asking Emperor Jingtai to inspect. He was a little unwilling to do so. So now that he is dead, these ministers couldn't help but clap themselves secretly. Of course, in their hearts, Jiang Lang has not posed any threat to the court, and Jiang Lang has no intention of replacing it. Moreover, such a great change in the Ming Dynasty has a lot to do with Jiang Lang, so at this time, they chose to support Jiang Lang. Among these people, Yu Qian, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Jiang Chengzhi, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was led by Jiang Chengzhi.

Of course, the changes in the court were clearly distinguished, but on the surface, everyone was still harmonious. Before the emperor came, a man was talking and laughing, and of course he did not forget to talk about the current state affairs, and looked like he was worried about the country and the people.

"Sir Wang is here!"

I don’t know that the eunuch shouted loudly at this time.

The ministers who were talking turned around and looked at Jianglang.

Jiang Lang couldn't help but frowned slightly. This eunuch was too much talk, and he didn't plan to show up and watch everyone when he was present. In this way, wouldn't those ministers who were dissatisfied with him be even more dissatisfied with him at this time?

However, Jiang Lang had only slightly brows, clasped his fists and bowed to the adults sitting, "Long time no see you, sir, can you see you, how are you late?"

Jiang Lang gave in, and these ministers would sit there, stand up together, bow and return the salute. At the same time, someone said, "Sir Wang is so good!"

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "Thank you all, my body is not bad!"

"Mr. Wang, why are you here now? We have been waiting for a long time?"

Someone asked with a smile at this time.

Jiang Langze said, "I'm really sorry for everyone. I've had a cup of wine at noon and drank a few more drinks, but I accidentally got drunk. I lay in bed and slept for an afternoon. I knew I woke up at dusk. Please forgive me!"

At this time, Jiang Lang had already walked towards his position. Now he is still a third-rank official, so he still walked to Jiang Chengzhi and bowed and said, "Sir, please sit down!"

These ministers sat in their own seats in groups of three or three.

In front is the position of Emperor Jingtai, but Emperor Jingtai has not come yet. Of course, in order to make these ministers too bored, there is a small stage in the next head, with several palace maids dancing gracefully, and there is a group of palace musicians next to it.

"I heard you're leaving again?"

Jiang Chengzhi asked in a low voice at this time. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, he knew these situations more quickly.

Jiang Lang didn't feel anything wrong, so he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's just pacified there, and the court's policies are being implemented. I'll go back and take a look. The land that was captured by so many soldiers was sacrificed. Of course, it's good management. After all, they are the land of our Ming Dynasty now!"

"Those Komujuns are so easy to manage?"

Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help but wonder, why in Jiang Lang's words, those people seemed to be like the people born and raised in the Ming Dynasty, and they were absolutely obedient to rule.

Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "It's easy, not easy!"

"oh?"

Jiang Chengzhi immediately became interested and smiled and said, "Then I will listen carefully. What's going on with this difficult and easy thing!"

Jiang Lang said: "It's not easy. As you said, they are not people born and raised in the Ming Dynasty. The so-called non-my race will have different hearts. And there are still some reactionaries who are active and often cause some trouble for us. The so-called easy is that the court's policies can be implemented better. There is no such a close network of relationships as our court. After all, no one can protect them by our officials and those who are fleeing, so there is no harm.

For example, for example, assigning land, our approach is very simple. First, hand over the land and avoid dying around him. Second, don’t pay off the land, fight against the stubborn people, kill without intercourse, and then get back the land! After all, they are like us, and these poor people account for the majority, so when we do this, they will lose the benefits, have land, have food, and we will not collect taxes for three years. Such good things can’t be found even with lanterns. What do you think they have any other opinions?”

Jiang Chengzhi couldn't help but nodded and said, "As you said, the policies there have been implemented very quickly now?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Most cities have already started to implement it, but there are still some difficulties for some remote mountainous areas. However, we are still working hard and hope it can be completed as soon as possible!"

"Ambition!"

Jiang Chengzhi nodded and said, "In this way, the people know that only we are here can have a good life. If this continues, who will still object? Moreover, most of the people who are still resisting are already nobles and gentry. If they seize power, they will be resigned as soon as possible. If these people understand this, I guess someone will rebel at that time, and it will not be us who resist, but these ordinary people."

Jiang Chengzhi nodded in agreement, picked up the wine pot, and filled the cup in front of Jiang Lang, and smiled and said, "Look at me, I haven't poured you wine yet when you come!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly, did not answer, and picked up the wine filled with Jiang Chengzhi.

Jiang Chengzhi also picked up his wine and said, "Isn't there a saying that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Only when we win the hearts of the people will we get the hearts of the people, then we will also get the world. Of course, those people will not oppose us."

After saying that, he raised his cup and said, "This cup is my only way to congratulate you on taking down the entire island of Komu Jun!"

"Thanks!"

Jiang Lang said very politely.

"bite……!"

Touched the two cups lightly, and then they drank the wine in the glass together.

After drinking, Jiang Chengzhi sighed slightly and said, "I don't know how much time we have to drink after this time. Alas, we are so far apart. Only when you come back can we get drunk with you until we get drunk!"

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back after all. Wouldn't it be better for us to drink at that time?"

Jiang Chengzhi nodded, laughed, and said, "Then we won't wait until you come back. We'll have some drinks tonight!"

"Very good!"

Jiang Lang smiled.
Chapter completed!
