Seeing Wang Junlin's hands sliding down against his waist again, the calluses on his palms slid across the satin-like skin, making his heart feel numb and numb. He was still thinking about being favored, but his body could no longer bear the strength, so he had to change his words and beg for mercy.
Jun Lin remembered that he really had to meet Zhao Chen and Pei Yanmao today, so he let her go, stopped having fun, and sat up to look for the clothes at the foot of the bed.
Chen Danying endured the softness of her body and put on a piece of clothing to get up. Wang Junlin said: "You can sleep a little longer..."
"How can you get up and I'm still asleep?" Chen Danying said, "I'll help you scrub your body. It doesn't matter if you let Zhao Chen and Pei Yanmao wait for a while..." The sweat towel was wet for the king.
Jun Lin scrubbed his body, but her clothes were draped sideways, revealing a large area of white skin, which made Wang Junlin's blood boil and almost got under the covers again to fight again.
…
…
Yu Wenshu acted quickly. The day after Wang Junlin's report was approved and replied by Yang Guanghe's court, Zhao Chen, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the Zhonglang General of the Navy in Fanyang County and arrived in Fanyang County.
Yu Wenshu also understood in his heart that Wang Junlin was the Duke of the county. He had a great reputation, outstanding military exploits, and powerful methods. He was trusted by his majesty. He sent ordinary people to serve as navy commanders, which was not enough to compete with Wang Junlin in Fanyang County.
King's Landing.
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War was already an important minister of the imperial court, ranking in the third rank. In terms of official rank, he was even one level higher than Wang Junlin. Yu Wenshu persuaded Yang Guang on the grounds that the next step was to conquer Goguryeo, and Fanyang County's navy would be of great use.
The official rank of the Lieutenant General of the Navy of Fanyang County was raised by one level.
In addition, Zhao Chen inherited the title of Duke of the County from his father, which was the same as Wang Junlin, so Yuwenshu tried his best to send his confidant Zhao Chen over.
In Yu Wenshu's opinion, only this arrangement could suppress Wang Junlin slightly and prevent Wang Junlin from taking control of the navy.
Wang Junlin had no interest in picking up Zhao Chen, but he was accompanied by Pei Yanmao, the imperial envoy sent by Yang Guang to the Silla Kingdom, and his party. They had to pass through Fanyang County and take a boat to go to the country that was almost destroyed by Goguryeo. He was the most respectful to the Sui Dynasty.
Silla Kingdom.
Pei Yanmao was a direct descendant of the Wenxi Pei family and Pei Yuanqing's cousin. For Pei Yuanqing's sake, Wang Junlin also wanted to give him a warm welcome.
Therefore, after breakfast, Wang Junlin took Zhao Zhanpeng, Du Ruhui, Shan Xiongxin and others to mobilize 500 soldiers and went to Gu'an County to meet with Yingyang General Xue Li, Gu'an County Magistrate Cui Shijie and other Fanyang County officials.
.
Zhao Chen and his party did not have many carriages and horses, but Pei Yanmao brought a large number of gifts from Yang Guang to the Silla Kingdom. There were more than thirty carriages and horses, so they walked slowly. Zhao Chen and his party arrived first and had been waiting for almost half a month.
The time happened to be at the place where Wang Junlin had just arrived in Fanyang County last year and was assassinated by a thousand cavalry.
"I was delayed by an urgent matter, and I am late to meet you. I hope General Zhao Lang will be there, so don't be offended!" Wang Junlin changed into a purple official robe, rode on a blood-maned horse, and gave Zhao Chen a fist while talking to Xue Li.
Salute and say hello.
Zhao Chen's title was the same as Wang Junlin's, but his official rank was one level higher. In addition, he was seven or eight years older than Wang Junlin, so it was appropriate for Wang Junlin to salute him.
Zhao Chen is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with a long, thin face and a few goatee beards. He is also wearing a purple official robe. He is quite tall. When talking to Xue Li, he walks with his head held high, as if he is deliberately posing as if to let others know.
, he is the largest official in Fanyang County.
His grandfather, Zhao Wenkuo, was a former Northern Zhou Dynasty general with the title of Duke. Zhao Chen entered the official position due to his kindness and was bequeathed by his ancestors. He became the left minister of the rear. He was only one step away from being the minister of the three provinces and six departments. He was considered a young man who succeeded in his ambition.
figure.
When Yuwenshu first gained power in the court, many people sat on the fence and watched. In the past two years, Yuwenshu had completely established himself in the center. Although he could not compare with Yang Su back then, many officials changed their offices and took refuge with Yuwenshu. This Zhao
Chen is one of them, and of course he takes refuge secretly.
Yang Guang's eyes were on the whole world, staring at the Turks and Goguryeo tens of thousands of miles away, as well as the armies in various border counties and prefectures, but it was dark under the lamp. He couldn't see clearly how the courtiers around him formed cliques and formed cliques for selfish purposes.
He has always regarded Yuwenshu as his number one loyal minister. This made those opportunistic officials give up their previous positions and secretly defect to Yuwenshu.
As early as three days before Zhao Chen came over, Xu Jingzong wrote a letter to Wang Junlin and sent a courier to rush Zhao Chen's information to Fanyang County. Therefore, Wang Junlin knew Zhao Chen's details very well.
Zhao Chen waited here for more than half an hour for Wang Junlin. He didn't see Wang Junlin until Pei Yanmao and his team's motorcade arrived. How could he have so many thoughts in his heart? He looked at Wang Junlin, and then saw Wang Junlin with him.
Five or six hundred soldiers from the government came to greet him, and he said with a smile: "Qin'an is very busy with government affairs, and I know it well. If I blame you for such a trivial matter, it will appear that I am narrow-minded and inconsiderate..."
Difficulties…”
Zhao Chen specifically mentioned that Wang Junlin was one level lower in official rank than him. Wang Junlin didn't mind, and he liked this person even more. After all, what he wanted to see most was that the Navy was controlled by a fool with no city.
Condition.
Looking at the three hundred guards brought by Zhao Chen, Wang Junlin asked with a smile: "I would like to ask, I wonder how much salary Zhao Lang will bring here from Kyoto..."
"Your Majesty and Mr. Yuwen are both concerned about the reconstruction of the Fanyang County Navy. This time, I specially asked my officer to bring one hundred thousand taels of salary." Zhao Chen raised his head and said: "This is the first one. After I understand the situation of the Navy, I will return it."
Depending on the situation, the scale of the navy will be expanded, and the royal court’s pay will also increase..."
"Thank God." Wang Junlin said ecstatically: "The navy's military pay and rice grains have been borrowed from the county's finance for the past three months. I dare to ask Mr. Zhao where the money is. Mr. Zhao, you have come a long way.
It’s been a lot of hard work, we can just do it ourselves!”
"Wang Junlin, you are so brave, are you going to kidnap me?" Zhao Chen's face turned pale, and then he realized that Wang Junlin had brought five to six hundred soldiers. It turned out that he was not here to greet him, but to steal money.
.
As soon as Pei Yanmao and his party got off the carriage, they saw Wang Junlin and his soldiers coming to snatch Zhao Chen's money. He just stood aside and smiled without saying anything, watching Wang Junlin making things difficult for Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen thought that Wang Junlin could be shaken by the rank of official, but he was really wrong. Wang Junlin's situation made it clear that Zhao Chen would not want to enter Fanyang County if he did not give him money.
"General Zhao Lang, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm tricking you?" Wang Junlin stared at Zhao Chen with a cold look on his face, snorted coldly, and asked unceremoniously.
