Chapter 389 Heading to Zeng Mansion
It was dusk when Jiang Yue came out of the Ministry of Justice prison.
On the way out, she was full of worries.
She needs to relax, only when she relaxes can her brain be fully utilized.
Thinking of relaxing, she went shopping in the market alone.
The streets were filled with people of all kinds, which dispelled the mystery in my mind.
After one night, he went to the court again.
In the court today, Mu Yun and the accompanying ministers, just like yesterday, advised Your Majesty to send troops to attack the Jin Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, now that our dynasty has obtained the young general's good plan and gained such a powerful siege weapon, I dare to speak to you and ask you to lead the troops straight down and defeat the Great Jin."
Mu Yun said this and many others agreed.
Jiang Yue didn't say anything because, in her heart, she had already considered Dajin to be in Donglin's hands.
She knew that His Majesty would have a good plan.
Zhao Chongxiu's eyes stayed on Jiang Yue for a moment, and when he saw that she was silent, he looked at Zeng Guangren.
"What is your opinion, General Zeng?"
After General Zeng stepped out, he replied respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I think what Grand Tutor Mu said is very true. Now is a good time to attack Jin. However, the siege weapons need to be prepared in advance."
Zhao Chongxiu heard this and responded very much to his satisfaction.
It is necessary to prepare in advance. He has already asked people to prepare for this matter. Everything is just a matter of time.
But these court officials never considered it.
General Zeng walked towards Jiang Yue and spoke to her for the first time.
"It's my daughter's birthday today. She said she's hosting a banquet for General Jiang. She asked me to invite you along when I leave. General, please."
Jiang Yue agreed yesterday, so of course she wanted to go today.
But just as she was about to respond, she heard the eunuch say,
"Young General, His Majesty has summoned you."
"Sir Zeng, please tell Miss Zeng that I will be there soon." Jiang Yue said helplessly.
"Okay." When summoned by His Majesty, Grand Tutor Zeng didn't say much. He just added a sentence asking Jiang Yue not to forget it, and then left.
The court officials secretly thought that the young general had made great contributions and was in the limelight, so there were always people who wanted to make friends with him.
Jiang Yue accompanied His Majesty to the Imperial Garden of the Palace again.
The difference is that the original rockery has turned into a deep pit.
Jiang Yue looked at it and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Zhao Chongxiu saw her expression.
"Jiang Yue, you just made the suggestion, but you didn't ask about the fuel. Since you didn't ask, I'll ask you, how powerful is this fuel? Is it beyond your imagination?"
He thought yesterday that Jiang Yue would take the initiative to find him and tell him her views, but she didn't.
"It's very powerful. I believe that Your Majesty will do better with the help of the Taoist priest." Jiang Yue didn't ask because he was framed by Grand Tutor Mu yesterday.
She had no foundation and could only take every step carefully.
"Oh?" Zhao Chongxiu became more interested in Jiang Yue's words.
“How can we do better?”
Therefore, the good idea was proposed by Jiang Yue, so he wanted to hear Jiang Yue's opinion.
"It still requires the Taoist priest to test it himself." Jiang Yue didn't even want to say that she had stopped.
If you talk too much, you will suffer the consequences.
Zhao Chongxiu still felt that the power of the fuel was already quite strong, but he still looked forward to it:
"If you knew the formula ratio, it would save me a lot of trouble."
Jiang Yue just thought silently, afraid that it would cause me a lot of trouble.
"Where did the saltpeter you used to send General Yue's soul back to the capital come from?" Zhao Chongxiu finally asked the main question.
"There is a lot of saltpeter stored at the Xining border." Jiang Yue spoke the truth. She is a citizen of Donglin and she always considers Donglin in everything.
"Xining?" It would definitely be inappropriate to go there rashly.
Zhao Chongxiu thought of Princess Xining who would arrive soon.
"Princess Xining will arrive in a month or so. When she arrives, you will go to meet her in secret. Remember, make sure nothing goes wrong."
…After Jiang Yue left the palace, Wu Fei and the other three had been waiting outside the palace for a long time.
Seeing the court officials coming out one by one, but no sign of Jiang Yue, he thought something had happened to her.
After asking, I learned that it was His Majesty who asked me to stay and inquire about some military matters, so I stopped asking any more questions.
Thinking that it would be a bad idea to attend someone else's birthday party empty-handed, Jiang Yue didn't know how to choose these gifts, so she asked four people. Three of them shook their heads. Finally, Xue Wen volunteered to buy some wine, food, tea and fruits, suitable for all ages.
The wine was aged and the food was rare, but it was a token of appreciation.
Even though Jiang Yue didn't have any intentions at all.
As soon as Jiang Yue arrived at Zeng's mansion, the guard, following the instructions of the second young lady, immediately led her into the courtyard.
After Jiang Yue left, the place became extremely lively.
Men and women sat separately and gathered together to celebrate the birthday of Miss Zeng II.
"So many people?" Wu Fei was at this kind of event for the first time and felt uncomfortable. The three men beside him obviously had no interest in this kind of banquet.
Jiang Yue tried to reduce her presence as much as possible, but as soon as she arrived, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Zeng Xueer was the first to walk towards Jiang Yue after seeing her.
"The young general is finally here. We have been waiting for you." As she spoke, she led Jiang Yue to a table and told her attendants,
"Serve the wine."
Many female relatives came, and while they were stealing glances at Jiang Yue, their eyes would occasionally fall on Wu Fei and the other three behind her.
My fellow lords, just as Zeng Xueer said, both princes have come to support her.
Jiang Yue glanced at the crowd and discovered that Mu Chengfeng and the unpopular Ding Ping were also here.
Jiang Yue greeted everyone with a fist bump, and only had a brief greeting with the second and third princes.
What she didn't know was that the second prince and the third prince didn't want to attend such a boring banquet. It was only because Zeng Xueer said that the young general would come, and because Jiang Yue was loved by the emperor recently, that they thought of coming.
Mu Chengfeng did not stand up or say hello to Jiang Yue because he was unhappy last time.
As for Ding Ping, he only followed Mu Chengfeng and took advantage of his power to bully others.
"Cousin, why is she here too?"
"You have to ask Miss Zeng." Mu Chengfeng's gaze stayed on Jiang Yue for a moment, and then stopped on Mu Heng.
Thinking about the last time he beat me badly, I gritted my teeth secretly.
No matter how powerful he is, he is still just a little follower.
On the other hand, Mu Heng didn't even look at him.
After what happened that day, Mu Heng already knew who Mu Chengfeng was. In order to avoid unnecessary arguments, he pretended not to see him when he saw him now.
A banquet is just ordinary eating, drinking and having fun.
The only thing Jiang Yue discovered during her visit today was that Second Miss Zeng was popular and was familiar with many dignitaries.
"Thank you all for coming to Xue'er's birthday party." Zeng Xue'er said with a smile as she stood in the middle.
"Xue'er is very grateful and has prepared some wine to thank you all."
Everyone raised their glasses in response.
"Just drinking is boring." The second prince raised the wine glass in his hand.
"All of you who came here today are scholars and scholars, and you must be very knowledgeable. Since you are all gathered together, why don't you play some drinking games to liven up the atmosphere?"
