Chapter 23 Taking advantage of the rain to shed tears
After listening to Bao Zheng's words, Zhang Fangping looked at Yunzheng thoughtfully. Seeing him helplessly spreading his hands towards him, he knew that this guy didn't know anything about it. When Lao Bao clearly explained his identity, it meant that Liu Yucheng The matter of suppressing bandits cannot be taken lightly. If there cannot be a significant result, the emperor will not be able to explain it at all.
Zhang Fangping chuckled lightly and invited Lao Bao to go to the hotel to rest. He would wait until three days to discuss other matters. At this time, all time was very precious. Liu Yucheng had been away for more than a month, and now it was time to return with the results of the battle.
Of course, Zhang Fangping would be given three days of free time. At this time, even if he was as healthy as an ox, he still had to claim that he had caught the cold and needed to rest for a few days. Yun Zheng had seen this in his previous life, with his mentor and the bad old man from the principal. He often did this kind of thing, and when he was drunk, he cried out that he was no longer a scholar. After he sobered up, he still rolled up his sleeves and went further and further on the road of becoming an official with great energy.
Lao Bao wants to take a rest, which is no problem. He only needs to go to Yi Cheng and he will be served comfortably. However, Lao Bao named someone who wants to live in the Yun family, saying that the Yun family is a prominent family in Sichuan and has a distinguished literary style. He lives there by himself. You can also get a little more culture in the Yun family.
These words are just insulting. The Yun family has only lived in Chengdu for three years. The head of the family is a young man who is less than twenty years old. He is still a student of others. I don’t know where he started talking about the famous family in Shu. .
Zhang Fangping looked at Bao Zheng, and finally said with a dumb smile: "Brother Xiren is trying to spoil the child, but with your old Bao's words, it will not be difficult for the Yun family to become a prominent family in Shu in the future."
Bao Xiren smiled and said: "I was also entrusted by someone. I waited for a small infantry army, and worked hard with two prime ministers, two ministers, and two frontier officials. When I arrived in Shu, I met again. When you Zhang Fangping protects you in every possible way, haha, if this kind of family is not from a distinguished family, I will pluck out the eyeballs and throw them on the ground to trample on them."
Zhang Fangping chuckled and said, "You have spoiled me too. How can Zhang Fangping dare to compare with the Minister of the DPRK?"
Lao Bao sighed and said: "You can afford it. One young army reduced the burden of ten thousand soldiers for the imperial court, and also fed tens of thousands of people. You don't need too many such people, one for each military line is enough." , two hundred military states in the Song Dynasty could turn the world upside down, but unfortunately it backfired, there was one more Yunzheng, and in the end we had to go all the way to Chengdu Prefecture."
Zhang Fangping laughed dryly and said bitterly: "Serving the world well is what the governors consider. I can only consider matters in Shu. It is my duty to ensure the safety of the emperor and herdsmen on behalf of the emperor. This is also the origin of my name."
The two old guys spoke with sincerity, but Yun Zheng had no such thoughts. He stared at the pouring rain outside in a daze. It rained, but the weather did not get much cooler. Wearing wet clothes made people extremely uncomfortable.
A horse emerged from the heavy rain, but it was Lang Lige. He carried an oilcloth bag on his back and galloped to Yun Zheng without dismounting. He threw the package to Yun Zheng and rode back again. From the time he appeared to the time he left, , only for a short moment.
The two important people who spoke witnessed the appearance of a man and a horse, and were very surprised. They must know that Shiliting has been blocked by the government officials, and ordinary people cannot come here.
Zhang Fangping asked Yun Zheng with a dark face: "Are all your servants so rude?"
While Yun Zheng was changing his wet clothes, he said: "Ming Gong wrongly blamed me again. He is a cavalryman, and he would not dismount even when he saw Li Yuanhao. I deceived him into the Song Dynasty. Of course he should be proud. Who can let him have the ability?"
Well, aren't you also very tolerant of me? If you really enforced military law, my head would have been moved long ago. Why are you so serious now?"
Zhang Fangping liked this trick the most. He laughed, pointed at Yun Zheng and said to Lao Bao: "He is just such a bastard. Fortunately, he still knows the severity. I don't dare to bring such a person to His Majesty and embarrass him. I'd better wait for me to train him."
It’s not too late to go.”
Lao Bao glanced at Yun Zheng thoughtfully and said, "So you have already guessed my purpose?"
Zhang Fangping smiled but said nothing.
Lao Bao sighed again and said: "Han Qi, Fu Bi, and Zeng Gongliang all said that Yun Zheng could not be left outside. He could only return to the capital to shoulder important responsibilities. This would make it appear that the imperial court was treating its meritorious officials favorably."
"Same as Di Hanchen?" Zhang Fangping said with sarcasm. Lao Bao was stunned for a moment and said: "The regiment training envoy of Yizhou cannot be said to be treated badly."
"If it's a tiger, it should be left in the mountains and forests to be king. If it's a vicious dog, it should be locked in front of the gate to guard the home and courtyard. What's the point of offering it as an offering if it's placed in the inner house with fine clothes and fine food? There are not enough tigers and vicious dogs that I have offered to the emperor."
?
If you're not at ease, just kill him. Don't you think it's a waste of resources to kill a hero like this?"
Mr. Peng Li put his hands in his sleeves, rolled his eyes and looked at Bao Zheng and continued: "If my disciples can't make the best use of their talents, then they might as well follow me back to the academy to study, practice for a few years, and sing in Donghuamen.
Fame is not difficult, so why did you have to be raised like a pig so early? Bao Xiren, when you see His Majesty, ask him for me, when did I teach him such a sinister and torturing method?
Although he was young in Qiandi back then, he was also a kind-hearted person. Please help me and beg him not to damage my heroes of the Song Dynasty again. The current Song Dynasty does not have too many warriors, but too few.
Already."
Bao Xiren cupped his hands and said: "Don't be angry, Mr. Peng Li. Your Majesty has no such request. If you want to blame, blame it on Bao Zheng. I think the most powerful people need to be supervised."
Peng Li was extremely angry and pointed at Bao Zheng, who waved his sleeves and strode into the rain. Yun Zheng, Monkey and Han Niu quickly carried oilcloths and raincoats and put them on the old man. If he got sick in the rain, he might die.
Zhang Fangping cupped his hands at Lao Bao Gong and said: "You have offended my teacher, and the Yun family may not entertain you. You should stay at the inn. If you can't, you can live in my house. The Zhang family can be regarded as a prominent family in Sichuan. In the evening
We sleep together on the same bed, just talking about old times, what do you think?"
Bao Zheng said helplessly: "Don't you feel guilty for using this trick against me?"
Zhang Fangping laughed and said, "It's a shame, so I invite you to stay at my house. I'll punish myself by having three drinks at most."
Mr. Peng Li walked through the woods with Yunzheng and Monkey Hanniu. The old man stamped his feet and said, "Why don't you go to the military camp quickly? What are you doing here? Don't worry, I won't die even if I get caught in the rain."
Once you enter the capital, it will be difficult to get out of the capital. Lu Qingyuan's letter makes it clear that chaos has arisen in the court, and the position of the good old man Chen Zhizhong is not guaranteed, and sycophants like Jia Changchao will come to power.
When Xia Song left Haozhou and Tang Jie left Huangzhou, His Majesty was unyielding and merciless, which made people feel very strange.
According to Lu Qingyuan's judgment, Jia Changchao covets you. He lacks strong generals like you. Once you get involved with Chen Chen, it is impossible for you to be a flawless gentleman.
By the way, do you know that Lin Lanlan? How did he rise so quickly? Could it be that not only will the court be in chaos, but a beloved concubine will also appear in the inner palace? "
Yun Zheng carefully helped the old man tie the rope of his coir raincoat and said with a smile: "You have seen Lanlan before. She has lived in my house for almost a year and worked with me and Bacon in the silk reeling workshop. You even praised her at the beginning.
With."
Mr. Peng Li was startled and pointed at Yun Zheng for a long time before saying, "Did you arrange for her to enter the palace?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "No, I really don't want a daughter from a good family like her to enter the palace. I tried my best to stop her at first, but I didn't stop her. People said that this is her father's wish."
Mr. Peng Li wiped the water running down his forehead. He didn't know whether it was rain or sweat, but he said in shock: "Changsheng, tell me, this was not arranged by you."
Facing his husband's hopeful look, Yun Zheng swore: "My disciple has never instigated, hinted, or forced Lin Lanlan to enter the palace. If this happens, I will definitely die badly."
Mr. Peng Li sighed happily and said: "From now on, stay away from this woman as if you have never known her, let alone have any connection with her, otherwise your life will be ruined, no matter what you have established."
For such a great achievement, people will only remember that you presented a woman to His Majesty, and that you are a lucky minister, and you will never expect to accomplish anything in this life."
Yun Zheng sniffed and looked down at his once again wet clothes and said, "Unless I need to take the college entrance examination in Beijing, I will never step into Bianliang City, Tokyo."
Mr. Peng Li took Yun Zheng's hand and said happily: "Good boy, this is a good boy. Go ahead and go back to Dujiangyan directly and take your men to a distant place for training. If Bao Zheng doesn't leave, don't come out."
Yun Zheng willingly knelt down at the feet of Mr. Peng Li and kowtowed three times. He was very grateful to this Founder old man who only thought about himself. When he got on his horse and left, he looked back and saw that the old man was still standing under the big tree and looking at him.
Yun Zheng's nose felt so sore that he waved to the old man and rode away.
The war horse ran very fast, but Yun Zheng's heart was like a boiling pot of water boiling endlessly. Looking back on his past, was he really perfect? Can his lies really last forever?
I used to think that I felt at ease after lying to Zhang Fangping, but now I feel that something is wrong. I used to think that telling a few insignificant lies to my teacher was not a big deal, but now it seems that lies do not hurt insignificant people, but only hurt myself and others.
The person who cares about you the most.
The heavy rain will not wash away the guilt in Yun Zheng's heart. He can cry for a while while it rains, so that no one will notice that he has cried. The habit of lying in future generations must be corrected in the most thorough way.
I ran to Dujiangyan in one breath and looked at the turbulent river water before I felt thirsty. I cried too hard just now and lost a lot of water in my body. (To be continued)
