Chapter 181: Tong Guan’s gift was rejected, and the hero was awarded the title in triumph
"After finding the Three Treasures and returning to the Song Dynasty, I will make Aiqing the King of the Sea!!"
Tong Guan was so moved that he burst into tears. His lifelong wish was to be crowned king.
Moreover, Neptune is the one-word king!
The status of a one-character king is certainly higher than that of a two-character king.
Look, King Yun Zhao Kai and King Kang Zhao Gou, the princes who have recently been favored by Zhao Guan's family, aren't they all kings of one word?
Although Tong Guan was overjoyed, he had to maintain restraint and not let Zhao Guan's family see that he coveted the throne.
Tong Guan kowtowed and declined: "The humble minister Tong Guan is loyal to the official family and loves the hungry people of the Song Dynasty. It is not my wish to be crowned king, but it will make the food abundant!"
Zhao Ji smiled and nodded, deliberately pretending to admire Tong Guan.
In fact, why did the time traveler Zhao Ji not know that Tong Guan, who had a strong desire for power, would be his biggest failure in the future? Isn't it because the Great Song Ancestor made it possible for those who could regain the sixteen states of Yanyun to be crowned king? He was so
Are you keen on uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty?
Now, I, the time traveler, will give you Tong Guan another chance to become king. It depends on whether you can seize it.
Zhao Ji picked up the imperial pen and marked out on the globe the origins of the three crops he knew: corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
Zhao Jidao: "I am afraid that my beloved will forget the origin of these three treasures, so I have marked them."
Tong Guan immediately bowed again: "Thank you Lord for your kindness..."
Zhao Ji also marked on the globe what he knew about going to sea to discover the New World, which continents and islands were needed during the voyage, and the places where he needed to stop on the coast to replenish fresh water and food.
After receiving the guidance from Zhao Guanjia, Tong Guan said gratefully:
"The official is worthy of being the emperor, and he is more considerate than the humble ministers. The humble ministers show their kindness."
Zhao Ji smiled slightly. When he learned about the geographical discovery of world history before traveling back in time, he naturally knew the famous navigation route map for the discovery of the New World. Therefore, he can now mark it accurately.
Zhao Ji pointed to the globe and three scrolls with corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, and said:
"My dear, take these back and find skilled craftsmen and painters to take pictures of the globes I made and make several more.
I also asked the painter to copy and draw the three treasures of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes that I painted with my royal brush.
I did not put my name or seal on the paintings, and Aiqing also wanted to keep it a secret from the painters and not let them know. I was instructed by the gods in my dream to find these three treasures.
Three days later, my beloved, return the original objects of the globe and the paintings of the Three Treasures to me."
Zhao Ji has made two preparations. If Tong Guan leads his troops on a voyage to discover the New World, and is shipwrecked at sea or the people of the Song Dynasty are unable to complete my instructions to recover the three treasures of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, then I will send another one.
Subsequent multi-route fleet voyages completed the historical breakthrough of discovering the New World.
Therefore, after Tong Guan finds someone to imitate the painting of the globe and the Three Treasures, the originals will be returned to me.
Tong Guan immediately vowed:
"The humble minister obeys the order and will never tell outsiders about the official's advice from the gods and his desire for the Three Treasures."
Zhao Ji smiled and said: "When the sixty large ships that can go to sea are built, Aiqing will of course tell all the people accompanying me about the three treasures I am looking for.
This is also because I want to love you and let skilled craftsmen and painters make more globes and copy a few more scrolls of the Three Treasures that I have painted, so that they can be brought to the captains of all the big ships."
Tong Guan repeatedly praised the officials for their thoughtfulness.
Zhao Ji also wrote several imperial edicts in succession, and sealed them with jade seals.
Zhao Ji waved his hand and said: "Go down, dear, and do what I asked you to do quickly!"
"I obey the decree..." Tong Guan knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye. He asked the two young eunuchs who were close to him to carefully hold the globe and the paintings of the Three Treasures in their arms, and exited the temporary palace of Zhao Guan's family, Hangzhou Mansion...
…
Tong Guan left the Hangzhou government office and immediately sent people to invite more than a dozen of the most famous carpenters and painters in Hangzhou city. After signing a confidentiality oath, he asked them to make sixty globes and sixty points separately.
The paintings of 'Three Treasures'...
Then, Tong Guan led the young eunuchs into the military camp with the imperial edict written by Zhao Guan's family, and found Wang Zhen, the commander of the imperial army, who wanted to take custody of the bandit soldiers and control their power...
When Wang Zhen received the decree and found out that it was indeed the decree of Zhao Guan's family, he also transferred the power of care and supervision of more than 30,000 soldiers to the Privy Council, the Xuanfu Envoy of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the Southeast China Sea Shipbuilding Supervision Envoy Tong.
Through.
After all, after the battle between the 10,000 forbidden troops led by Wang Zhen and Fang La's men, there were still more than 7,000 alive.
More than 7,000 forbidden troops not only have to guard the Hangzhou city owned by Zhao Guan's family, but also have nearly 2,000 people to guard the bandit army's surrendered soldiers and generals.
There was no room for them in the city, and they were worried that it would be unsafe to put them in the city. Therefore, more than 30,000 bandit troops were surrendered, guarded by 2,000 forbidden troops, and temporarily stationed outside the south city.
Wang Zhen was very worried that if the bandit army surrendered and the soldiers mutinied and caused trouble, wouldn't it be that he, the commander of the imperial army who was directly responsible for guarding the surrendered soldiers, would be held accountable and punished?
Now that the chief officer in charge of more than 30,000 surrendered soldiers was replaced by Master Tong Guan, Wang Zhen felt relaxed.
Tong Guan smiled and said:
"The King of Tongzhi, according to the imperial edict of our family, the two thousand imperial guards who guard the surrendered soldiers of the bandits must also continue to guard the surrendered soldiers and be at our disposal."
When Wang Zhen saw that the imperial edict written by Zhao Guanjia was exactly what Tong Guan said, he immediately agreed:
"My Majesty, I sincerely obey the imperial edict."
After Tong Guanjian announced the imperial edict, he also wanted to have the power to look after more than 30,000 surrendered soldiers. He would be able to prepare a sufficient labor force for surrendered soldiers to complete the tasks assigned by the officials. Naturally, he was very happy.
Tong Guan said to the accompanying young eunuch: "Presenting the gift our family has prepared for General Wang."
Wang Zhen frowned when he heard this.
The junior official presented a long red sandalwood box to Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen immediately raised his hands and said, "Master Tong, what does this mean?"
"Hahaha..." Tong Guan laughed and said:
"Our family has finished announcing the official edict. This wooden box is a small gift from our family to Wang Tongzhi. We hope Wang Tongzhi will accept it."
Wang Zhen, an upright, loyal and brave man, immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "I dare not accept this."
The smile on Tong Guanlao's face was stiff, but he still managed to hold back the anger in his heart.
He thought to himself: "If it hadn't been for Wang Zhen for your meritorious service in defending the city in the battle to pacify Fangla and your love for the officials, and our family is your superior, why would we use such expensive gifts to curry favor with you?"
Tong Guan endured his anger, forced a smile, and said:
"Open the wooden box and take out the gift. Wang Tong will definitely like it."
"I obey." The young eunuch placed the long red sandalwood box on the table. After the box lid was opened, a bright and dazzling light immediately emerged from the box.
The young official took out the contents of the box and saw a sheathed sword. The scabbard was inlaid with more than a dozen bright gems, which looked like something extraordinary at first glance.
"Crack, bang, bang..." Tong Guan pulled out the sword, but saw that the blade was dazzling by the cold light and the blade was extremely sharp.
Tong Guan said with a smile:
"The king's rule has been said since ancient times: a sword is given to heroes.
Our family got this precious sword, and I have been thinking about it for a while, which hero should I give it to?
Then I thought of Wang Tongzhi, who led his troops to defend Zhao Guan's family to the death and was extremely loyal and brave in the battle to defend Nancheng.
Therefore, our family gave this precious sword to Wang Zongzhi, but we forgot to accept it. We will use this sword to kill many enemies on the battlefield!"
As Tong Guanlian spoke, he put the sword back into its sheath, holding the sword in both hands, and handed it to Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He said loudly: "The lower official Wang Zhen will never dare to accept such a big gift from his beloved child."
Tong Guan shamelessly forced the sword into Wang Zhen's arms...
Wang Xun hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "The official has already said this and will definitely not dare to accept the great gift from Tong. If Master Tong forces the official to accept this sword, the official will have no choice but to give it to Zhao Guan's family."
"Humph!" Tong Guan was furious!
