@@Nanjiang.

The southern Xinjiang is beautiful in autumn, and the scenery is everywhere.

Even the people like to travel with their families when they are fine. Even if they can only bring rice balls and simple pickles, they can still harvest the most pleasant time of the year in the wild.

Under the tree, autumn spreads a little warmth through the branches and leaves.

"Aye, I want to eat it!" the child shouted, wanting to eat rare jerky meat.

"You jump up and you will have it." The father teased his son with jerky meat.

The woman looked at the side with a smile. There was a two or three-year-old girl in her arms, looking ahead. Suddenly, the girl pointed to the front and said, "My grandma, soldier!"

A team of cavalry sailed on the official road like lightning and heading towards Qinghe County, the southern capital.

"It's the banner of Duke Shang!" The father handed the jerky to the child and said, "Duke Shang will win every battle, and he is worthy of being the God of the Southern Army."

The woman nodded, "Yes! And the Duke of Shang Dynasty would pity the people and would give us some benefits every time he wins."

Every time he went to a great victory, after returning, Shi Zhongtang would divide the seizure into two parts, one was to reward the merits and the other was to the people.

"I hope Duke Shang will continue to fight!" the woman smiled.

Shi Zhongtang has been on the expedition for two months and has returned today, looking solemn.

"Have you met the Duke!"

The gatekeeper salutes.

Shi Zhongtang nodded, "After I go to war, will there be something big about it?"

Whenever something big happens, his people will send messages to the army.

The sergeant shouted: "Not! The Duke of the Kingdom is mighty!"

"Hahahaha!" Shi Zhongtang laughed, threw a silver horn over, and cursed, "Little boy, follow me to fight next time, at least make merits to give you some benefits!" "Yes!" The soldier took the silver horn and knelt down and said, "I'm willing to die for the Duke of the People!"

Shi Zhongtang brought people to the outside of the Jiedushi's Mansion. An official came out and said, "That guy has a very bad temper recently. In addition, he invited many local tyrants to drink a while ago. During the meal, he mentioned the Duke and said that the Duke was a foreign race and was lucky enough to get a high position. There will inevitably be a big disaster in the future..."

"Duke, Zhang Chumao is trying to intimidate those powerful people!" said Ashina Chunyu.

"Just struggle to death!" Shi Zhongtang asked, "Is there news in Chang'an?"

"I haven't read the news just sent yet," the official said.

"Bring it."

Shi Zhongtang took the tip and opened it. There was a folded note inside.

He glanced a few times, his eyes cold.

"Drive Zhang Chumao away?"

Chunyu was very happy, "Duke, this is a good thing!"

"Yes! Drive Zhang Chumao away. This is what Your Majesty intends to use the Duke as the governor!" The official was Shi Zhongtang's confidant, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Shi Zhongtang said in a deep voice: "Look at him!"

"Receive the order!"

Shi Zhongtang went in.

In the lobby, Zhang Chumao, who had gained a lot of weight and had a little loose cheeks, heard Shi Zhongtang coming back and said lightly: "Isn't you going to report the results to me?"

"What does Duke Xu want to know?"

With this sound, Shi Zhongtang walked into the lobby.

Zhang Chumao narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Duke Shang Guo, please know that I am the governor of the Southern Xinjiang. Unless Your Majesty removes me from my position, the rules are there, and you have the ability to break one for me to see!" This is a provocation!

If Shi Zhongtang is angry, if he does something big in anger, such as slapping Zhang Chumao in the face, it would be even more perfect.

Then, Yang Songcheng from Chang'an received news that he would mobilize people to impeach Shi Zhongtang.

Shi Zhongtang said: "Yang Xuan of the Northern Frontier took down Longhuazhou, which was to completely break the backbone of the Northern Liao Dynasty. This person did not want to protect himself, but was aggressive, which was shocking."

"He wants to rebel?"

Shi Zhongtang shook his head, "I thought about this person carefully when I met in Chang'an, but I was not that ambitious person. However, the times have changed and human nature is unpredictable. The great situation in the northern border, but the vast territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty will hold Yang Xuan. What did this situation make you think of?"

"Chang'an is afraid he's panicked."

"Chang'an will do its best to deal with Yang Xuan in the northern border, but it's not enough to catch it!" Shi Zhongtang said with a smile: "I went to Chang'an many times, and every time I went to see the Chang'an guards, just a flock of sheep! Spring breeding!"

There seemed to be flames in Shi Zhongtang's eyes, and Chunyu couldn't help but bow his head and dared not look at him.

"We are alien races! Even if we become governors, in the eyes of the emperor, we are still dogs! Do you want to be a human being or a dog?"

"Of course, it's human being!" Chunyu looked up.

"The current situation is great, the emperor is old. Think about it, what should we do if he forced the southern border too much?"

"But he didn't force him!"

"I said, he forced me!"

Chunyu's heart thumped, "Duke, you want to..."

Shi Zhongtang smiled and said, "Last time I went to the pear garden, it looked so beautiful. I was wondering, when can I sit in the pear garden, watching singing and dancing, surrounded by beauties... Do you think, can you do it?"

Chunyu was trembling all over, half afraid and half excited, "I want a beauty too!"

"Hahahaha!" Later, Chunyu left and his body was still trembling as he walked.

Shi Zhongtang took out his hand from his cuff, and a short knife came out.

Later, Duke Shang said he was injured when he went on a war and wanted to go home to recuperate. All the affairs in the Jiedushi's mansion were handed over to Duke Xu Zhang Chumao for handling.

It's funny to say that the Southern Xinjiang was not the Jiedushi Zhang Chumao, but the Jiedushi Deputy Envoy Shi Zhongtang.

It was not until Shi Zhongtang recovered from his injuries that Zhang Chumao had the opportunity to touch the power.

That night, Zhang Chumao summoned many people to drink and discuss matters at home.

"Hold the grain warehouse and don't let go!" Zhang Chumao was explaining.

An official smiled and said, "Don't worry, after holding the warehouse, no one can take away a grain of food without your instructions."

Zhang Chumao nodded, "Holding food is the first priority, followed by Huang Tan."

A general stood up and said, "The Duke ordered."

Zhang Chumao said, "How many more people can you control now?"

The general said, "More than 12,000."

Zhang Chumao said, "You have to take care of the prison, don't be taken away by Shi Zhongtang."

The general smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are all fed by us!"

"good!"

Zhang Chumao raised his glass, and everyone raised their glasses to look at him.

"Shi Zhongtang relies on his so-called adopted son to be rampant in southern Xinjiang. I just want to ask, "Is the father-in-law, what's wrong with me?"

Zhang Chumao said lightly, a kind of reserve emanating from him, which made people subconsciously think of his identity: the son-in-law of the Yang family in Yingchuan, the emperor's brother-in-law.

The father-in-law, that's a man who can fight with Emperor Fu!

"The father-in-law is not moving in Chang'an, not because he cannot move, but because he takes into account the overall situation. Shi Zhongtang presses step by step, and I seem to give in to the father-in-law step by step, just to give the father-in-law a chance to take action."

Zhang Chumao was full of energy, "Today, I have already sent a message to Chang'an, and the father-in-law will definitely take action this time. You can wait and see what the wild dog will end!"

"Congratulations to the Duke of the People!" An official stood up to toast.

Zhang Chumao raised his glass to look at everyone, "Such a good time, everyone, don't go back tonight without getting drunk!"

"Don't go back if you're drunk!"

Everyone raised their heads and drank.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Amid laughter, Zhang Chumao stood up to change his clothes.

When we arrived at the back, a man in black was waiting.

"Duke."

"How?" Zhang Chumao took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

"Shi Zhongtang went to the camp to drink, and after he came back, he had been in the study. Today he met many people... all civil and military personnel."

"Follow him."

"yes!"

Aide He Zun came over, "Duke."

The man in black left, and He Zun watched him disappear into the night.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Chumao was a little impatient.
