Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 955: Entering Tongchuan Mansion, the official army welcomes you
Chapter 955: Entering Tongchuan Mansion, the official army welcomes you
Chapter 955: Entering Tongchuan Mansion, greeted by officers and soldiers
"My lord, I bow to your Majesty for your kindness!"
Diao Hongxin fell to the ground bitterly. It was originally a sure-fire plan, but it suddenly became like this!
As for the Jinghu North Road, it stands to reason that the comfort envoy along the way is not much worse than a deputy privy envoy, and the grade is also similar.
Even, because the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, the authority is somewhat greater.
However, leaving the court first means that he has left the core of power! Being able to be in the court every day, the speed of receiving information and responding to some things is of course different!
Moreover, it is easy to leave, but it is difficult to come back! In the entire court, countless people are staring at their seats. How easy is it to get back?
In addition, Jinghu North Road is a little different from other places! The greatest power of the Pacifier is to control the soldiers and horses along the way. Just like Shen Tang, the several soldiers and horses under his command only follow Shen Tang's lead, so Once it comes, Shen Tang's authority is naturally different.
However, almost all of the soldiers and horses on Jinghu North Road are Zhang Jun's direct soldiers! Just like Chang De's army, he can't control it even if he goes there!
At that time, I will be just a puppet on the stage, so what rights do I have?
A court meeting, a calm yet thrilling past! In fact, except Zhao Shen, almost no one knew what happened behind the scenes!
This matter was certainly not Shen Tang's plan, and Shen Tang did not expect that anyone would use such a thing to criticize him.
However, there is one thing that Shen Tang understands very well, that is, as a general outside, if you want to live in peace and safety without being suspected by the emperor, some things must be done correctly, let alone being caught! Therefore, within the borders of Tubo, Shen Tang had already made arrangements for the matter, and the purpose was to make Zhao Shen feel at ease.
He just didn't expect that because of the actions of some people, the effect of this matter reached an extent that he himself did not expect.
From Kuizhou to Wanzhou, we went all the way west, which was relatively slow. However, after arriving at Wanzhou, we turned south and the sails were raised. It took less than a day to travel less than 200 miles and we arrived.
Then, a group of people disembarked from the boat. Zhao Ling took Qingqiu and two maids who could ride horses with them, while the others continued on the boat!
Zhao Ling is not one of those delicate little daughters. When she first met Shen Tang, she was wearing riding boots and carrying a riding whip! Although she was born in the royal family, she was usually quirky and had a passion for galloping horses. An unusual preference! Otherwise, how could she have such a close relationship with Wanyan Yue?
Speaking of which, these two princesses really have a lot in common.
There were more than a thousand people in the group, and Zhao Ling and the other women all changed into casual clothes!
"Brother Shen, when you return to Lin'an, I will take you to see my Hong'er! Hong'er is now five years old, in her prime, and extremely well-behaved!"
The Hong'er that Zhao Ling mentioned was her favorite BMW. In comparison, it was naturally much better than these ordinary military horses.
Although Qingqiu and the other two maids who accompanied them could also ride horses, they were not very skilled! Therefore, Shen Tang and his party did not let their horses run wild! However, even so, it only took less than two days to enter Tongchuan. Within the territory of Quzhou on Fu Road!
"Not far ahead is Linshui Town. Let's stay here for one night. Tomorrow we will go directly through Guang'an and Hezhou and arrive at Suining Mansion!"
Shen Tang said to Zhao Ling who was standing aside.
"Everything depends on Brother Shen's arrangement!"
Although riding a horse is not as comfortable as riding a boat, for Zhao Ling now, as long as he can be with Shen Tang, he is full of joy, and he can't care about the "painful" expressions of Qingqiu and others.
Step, step, step...
"Sir, there are soldiers arriving from ahead. They are still five miles away from us. We don't know their identity at the moment!"
Shen Chou came back and reported to Shen Tang.
"Let the visitor stop and find out his identity before we talk!"
Shen Qiu rode away quickly, and soon he led two people towards the direction of Shen Tang.
"Tongchuan Prefecture Road appeases Nong Liqiang, Guang'an Army General Meng Bao, meets the princess, pays homage to the imperial envoy..." The two men dismounted and saluted Shen Tang and Zhao Ling respectfully.
Zhao Ling's whereabouts were relatively secret before, at least, not everyone knew about it.
However, the incident in Kuizhou caused an uproar in the entire court, and as a pacifier along the way, it was not surprising to know Zhao Ling's whereabouts.
Therefore, Nongliqiang came directly to welcome him!
"I know that the princess and the imperial envoy are coming, so I have sent my troops to protect you!"
Nong Liqiang said respectfully.
Zhao Ling ignored it. Shen Tang got off his horse and stepped forward to respond, "There are the laborers and General Meng!"
The west of Quzhou is adjacent to the Guang'an Army, so it is not unusual for these soldiers and horses to come to protect them! Shen Tang saw the ceremony and exchanged a few words with the other party, and then the Guang'an Army led the way in front, and Shen Tang and his party were in the rear. Follow along and head towards Linshui Town, which is not far ahead.
Zhao Ling and others fell behind the team, while Shen Tang and Nong Liqiang rode together!
"The imperial envoy traveled to five places for several months to punish corruption and stabilize the people. He is really admired by his subordinates!"
Nong Liqiang said respectfully, "I'm not afraid of the imperial envoy's jokes. Although I am a pacifier along the way, I have never cared about disaster relief in this place before.
After all, no matter whether they are junior officials or these subordinates, they are all big-headed soldiers with no brains. They spend their days drinking, having fun, and practicing military skills. What do the affairs of this place have to do with us?"
"But when news came about that your Excellency was providing disaster relief in Chengdu, I suddenly woke up! A general should not only be able to resist foreign enemies, but also defend the land and bring peace to the people! Those barbarians with swords and guns are enemies, and this flood is also an enemy.
Therefore, I, the lower officials, should follow my example and order the Guang'an Army, Huai'an Army, Changning Army, and the Military and Horse Supervisors of each state to send troops to assist local disaster relief!"
"Speaking of which, my official position is not low, but this is the first time I have been sincerely thanked by the local officials and the people!"
Shen Tang nodded slightly, but did not comment on what he said! Some things have to be seen with one's own eyes to know whether they are true or not. The governors of the state government he met one after another were more capable than Nong Li and could tell countless things.
Not long after, the group arrived at Linshui Town!
This is just a small town with not many people. Outside the small town, many military tents have been set up!
"Your Majesty, the imperial envoy, all the brothers will rest here, and the official has made arrangements! Your Excellency and the princess will go to the post station in the city, and the official has prepared a banquet for you two!"
Shen Chou brought a group of personal guards with Shen Tang and others into the city. Although the inn was small, arrangements had been made in advance, so although the banquet was not luxurious, it was extremely sumptuous.
Zhao Ling went directly to the arranged courtyard, while Shen Tang accompanied Nong Liqiang and his party to have a banquet!
