The previous rumors and the matter of establishing a prince were a bit too sensitive. The Taixue political group, which is mainly composed of Ether students and Tokyo elders, still adheres to the feudal moral tradition. It is inevitable that they will be somewhat concerned about the dignity of the official family, and then appear to be restrained in this situation.
Therefore, as the last major event in the seventh year of Jianyan, Taixue's political affairs itself went on smoothly... The only ups and downs occurred during the lunch break, when several ordinary people from other places knelt down to complain outside Taixue and challenged the emperor.
Complaining at this time seems to have been planned for a long time, but the court also has a very complete system for such matters, and someone will take over and deal with it.
However, the fact that the rest of the people do not cause trouble for the officials and central ministers does not mean that the officials and central ministers do not cause trouble for the rest of the people.
That afternoon, seeing that the fourth Taixue Wenzheng was about to come to a successful conclusion, Lu Haowen slowly stood up and came to the middle of the venue. In just two sentences, he announced the secret establishment system for the Zhao family.
.
It is said that "the prince was established through consultation with the central ministers without making it public; two files of edicts were made, one was carried by the official, and the two were tied under the beams of the Wende Hall. If anything happened, the imperial ministers would open it together and help them."
"Establishing a new king"...that's all.
After saying this, everyone from Zhao Guan's family and below dispersed, leaving only countless middle and low-ranking officials, imperial students, and famous Confucian elders in Tokyo, all messed up in the wind.
Many people didn’t even understand what was going on!
However, the official family had already left Taixue, and dispersed with other important ministers in front of Taixue's gate, and then went back to their respective homes to find their respective aunts.
So far, everything has been fine in Jianyan's seventh year. Even if something happens, he will have to wait until Jianyan's eighth year.
Turning back to the front of the eyes, he walked out of Taixue and respectfully sent Zhao Guan's family away with the honor guard. He did not talk about others, but only the seven or eight senior cavalry generals behind Qu Duan, the imperial cavalry commander. However, they were on the imperial street which was a bit too wide.
They gathered together and felt a little dazed for a while... Like everyone else, they were also a little confused about this secret reserve building system.
But fortunately, as an officer, he naturally has to avoid such matters, and he is not too lazy to do what other officials do, either swarming to the direction of the residence of a superior official or important minister, or gathering together for a heated discussion.
"Why are you still following me?"
After putting his hands behind his hands and looking north for a while, Qu Da suddenly turned around, frowned and spoke to his subordinates.
You didn't say goodbye either?
Everyone was speechless, but brothers Zhang Zhongfu and Zhang Zhongyan had been following this man for many years, and even Liu Qi and Li Shifu were now more accustomed to this man's words, but no one spoke up to refute him.
"I was about to ask Jiedu. It's already the annual vacation. In the next few days, even soldiers who have families near Tokyo will also go home to celebrate the New Year... Since there is nothing to do, do you want to go and have fun together?" What is Liu Qi doing?
It is most appropriate to be born in a general family.
"Where are we going to play?" Qu Duan's heart was moved, but when he saw another group of military attachés coming out from the corner of his eye, he immediately changed his tone and raised his voice on the imperial street in front of Taixue. "It's just that we are going to play, so why bother?
Many people gather together? For those who are celebrating the New Year, those who know know that we are colleagues, but those who don’t know think that I am too narrow-minded and want you to serve me after the holiday, otherwise it will be uncomfortable? What’s more,
It is rare for a civil servant to see it from afar and write a letter to us, saying that I have formed a gang to win you into the party struggle! I wonder if the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the party struggle? Where did it come from without the old and new party struggle?
Jingkang Incident?!"
After saying that, Qu Da walked away with a wave of righteousness.
However, Liu Qi, Li Shifu, the Zhang brothers and several other cavalry commanders just looked at each other and did not bother to pay attention to their immediate superiors, who were already accustomed to them. They gathered together and headed towards Maxing Street.
And since Qu Duan left alone, another Wang Yan who had just graduated from Taixue in the 10th Festival in Beijing could only bring a group of embarrassed-looking senior military attachés from the Eighth-Character Army to the door, their faces turning pale with anger... It took him half a day to recover. , but simply waved his sleeves and went home alone.
Even many civil servants, after being shouted out by Qu Da, gave up their intention to have fun and feast together on the spot and dispersed.
However, Qu Da held his head high and rode an iron elephant majesticly all the way. When he came to Donghua Gate, he continued north and walked between the Genyue ruins and Yanfu Palace. He was about to reach Jingyuan's house. I saw that there were fewer and fewer people around, but I felt a little bored... It was a rare holiday, and it was still early. If you didn't go to Ma Xing Street to look for people to drink wine and eat fish soup, why would you pretend to be dead and go home?
Now that we have come to this point, is it still possible to turn back?
Just as he was thinking about this, Qu Da suddenly raised his head and saw a man riding a mule in front of him. He was usually dressed in simple clothes. He first came towards him, and then he left the road and went into the ruins of Genyue. Naturally, he was angry:
"Xiahou! Where are you going in this outfit?"
It turned out that the person who wanted to avoid Qu Duan was none other than Xia Houyuan, a close confidant of Qu Duan who was disguised as a civilian.
One more thing to say here is that these days, it is impossible for the imperial court to completely clean up the feudal elements of the army, especially at the stage from commander-in-chief to commander-in-chief. After Zhao Guanjia focused on the grassroots level of the army, it can almost be called an army. The layer with the most obvious feudal elements.
The commander-in-chief at each place commanded an army, held military power as a general, and shared financial and personnel rights with the court. Both parties worked hard to achieve a tacit understanding and not cause trouble to the court. The commander-in-chief took the second place, and had to work with the commander-in-chief. Minister and the imperial court are all going around, and I still have a great say.
It is even exaggerated to say that under special circumstances like Li Yanxian, there was no inspection of troops and horses all year round. The imperial court only provided him with ordnance, food, fodder, and various other military supplies according to the regulations of the imperial camp of 20,000 soldiers in the past, but now it was based on the regulations of the imperial camp of 30,000 soldiers.
How to divide and allocate the money specifically is left to Li Yanxian's discretion.
In fact, everyone knows that Li Yanxian's tribe is divided into three. He has a core force of seven to eight thousand imperial battalions, which are stationed on both sides of the Yellow River in Shaanxi Province and are given priority. The remaining money, food and military supplies are another Divided into two, half is given to the Zhai family who was born in Luoyang, and the other half is given to the rebels from Zhongtiao Mountain, Taihang Mountain, and even further north... Li Yanxian himself probably doesn't know the specific number, but it must be more than 23,000. Much more than ten thousand.
Even after Dong Xian, who was in the Zhai family's system, won the battle that day, he took advantage of the opportunity of the army to fight on all fronts and asked to be promoted to commander. It was not that simple. It had the meaning of taking advantage of the situation to break away from the Zhai family's system and become a regular army.
Only Zhao Guan's family and the imperial court were so confused that they were happy to see the results and then just followed the trend.
But back to the present, when it comes to trusted school officials, this is of course an excellent feudal tradition since ancient times. The Zhao family has trusted commanders in front of them, and the generals who are full of feudal remnants will inevitably have trusted school officials in front of them. These people Most of them were from the same hometown of the commanders, pro-soldiers, descendants, or all three.
Han Shizhong had Jieyuan at the beginning, and after Jieyuan was created, Chengmin was born; Yue Fei also had Wang Gui, Tang Huai, and Zhang Xian at the beginning. After they were made and developed one by one, they also had Bi Jin, a close confidant.
The official was complex, doing chores and leading soldiers to invest; even Wang Yan, who had just been ridiculed by Qu Duan, the Eight-Character Army's starting point was not similar to that of other places, but there was a similar role next to Xiao Fan who joined the army, and now he has become a commander, but
Because of this, he and Wang Yansheng broke up.
As for Qu Duan himself, he was different from others... He rose up in chaos, and within two years of his rise, he was brought back by Hu Yin and Wan Qixi sent by Zhao Guan's family. He was in a position where he could kill or not.
Fortunately, he was whipped in front of the Wende Hall and idled for another year before he finally went to lead the army again. Then he resettled the imperial cavalry and became the commander-in-chief, but he never got enough regulations, that is,
After defeating Xixia, he gradually became stronger.
As the saying goes, every success brings glory to everyone, and every loss brings loss. Such ups and downs have made Xia Houyuan, his trusted primary school, still a trusted primary school for many years.
I think back then, when Wu Jie captured Qu Duan, Xia Houyuan was the one who followed him to the end. Now, although he has probably survived, he still needs a big battle to gain military merit before he can leave Qu Duan and go out to become an official.
"How did Jiedu come back so early?"
Xia Houyuan was called out by Qu Duan and had no choice but to turn around. However, he pretended that nothing had happened and calmly got off the mule. He stood beside the iron elephant with his hands crossed and asked each other with an honest look. "The Taixue side is already fine.
?"
Seeing this person's appearance, Qu Duan's original intention of ridiculing him suddenly disappeared... It's not that he didn't want to ridicule, but he knew that the other party would pretend to be stupid no matter what he said, and no one could do anything to anyone, but he was the most confidant.
It's not easy to fight or scold Tijiren... He simply frowned at Tie Xiang and said, "It's already over there at Taixue. Let me ask you, before you go out in the morning, let you go to Yuetai to check the duty list.
, and then privately inquired about the New Year rewards, did you do it carefully?" m :(/
"I worked hard, but it didn't work out." Xia Houyuan saw that his family asked him about business matters, and he responded solemnly. "People from the Imperial City Department, the Military Command Department, and people from the Fangfang Department went together today...
…I didn’t dare to say a word, I just walked around with them for a long time and just came back.”
"Oh." Qu Da understood clearly in his heart, but continued to confront him seriously. "Have you found anything?"
"There was no trouble in the lightly-armed Tibetan army of Deputy Dutong Li (Li Shifu), and they were all just grateful to the officials for their kindness. Zhang Da and Zhang Er (Zhang Zhongfu and Zhang Zhongyan) had always been watched by Jiedu in person, but there was nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, Deputy Dudu Liu
In the two armored cavalry teams led by Tong (Liu Qi), it seems that some accounts and personnel statements were made, and the military commander took the opportunity to expose them." Xia Houyuan said something.
Qu Duan frowned again: "Those newly recruited Fanqi are all country bumpkins. Of course, in their first year in Tokyo, they will feel good about everything they see. Liu Qi was born in a general family, and his subordinates are full of such dirty things, but he understands it in his heart.
If you don’t have the energy to change, it’s like a dog that can’t change and eats shit... These are all to be expected.”
Xia Houyuan just bowed his head in front of the mule and pretended not to hear.
"That's fine!"
Qu Duanfu thought about it again, but shook his head in response. "The officials wanted to take the annual leave to catch us off guard. They just don't want us to get involved. They just don't know... they will have their say after the new year."
"Jiedu is right, I think so too." Xia Houyuan responded immediately.
Qu Duan also nodded immediately, but soon raised his eyebrows: "So you are going to have a good time by yourself? Are you going to have a drink on Ma Xing Street?"
Xia Houyuan had no choice but to be honest: "I made an appointment with a few colleagues when I was in the camp...Besides, it's already evening, so I can't go to the north of the city to watch the Cuju competition? I can only watch the exhibition match tomorrow afternoon."
Qu Duan responded coldly and silently throughout the whole process.
Xia Houyuan, on the other hand, knew what the other party meant, but he would rather die than dare to say that... If he really let Qu Duan go, would they, a group of school officers, go to have fun or suffer, and would he, Xia Houyuan, still be here?
He was mixed up in the army... So after a few words to fool him, he could only pretend to be stupid and stand there, dumbfounded and silent.
The two were in a stalemate for a while. It was rare for Qu Duan to feel sick to his stomach because of the other people's anger, but he had no choice but to flick his sleeves, move the iron elephant on his crotch, and go home.
However, just as Xia Houyuan climbed onto the mule with relief, he heard someone yelling from behind: "You can only listen to a song when you call a prostitute! Otherwise, if the officials find out from the Imperial City Department, you may not be able to do it in this life."
It’s time for the Commander!”
Xia Houyuan nodded casually and hurried away.
And let's not mention how Xia Houyuan went to Ma Xing Street to engage in revenge consumption. He only said that on the other side, he returned home in Jingyuan, where he was greeted by his old wife, young son and servant girl with beaming faces.
But Qu Da himself had experienced the previous two incidents, but he just felt aggravated and a little deserted.
I watched for a long time inside the door, and my wife was all confused. Only then did I realize that the house awarded by the officials in Jingyuan was extremely large, and my family had a small population... There was nothing I could do about it, just like Yue Fei killed him for the sake of military discipline.
He killed his own uncle, and Qu Da also killed his own uncle for military discipline... Therefore, unlike other important ministers who have countless children, nephews, and relatives, his place has a much smaller population, and it is mostly veterans.
As for these veterans, those who have families now go to take care of their own families, while those who don't have families have long taken advantage of the excitement to have fun. How can they hang out in the house?
Of course it seems deserted.
In this way, Qu Da felt more and more unhappy. He just hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the study room to summarize the key points of today's political affairs... Unexpectedly, when he came to the study room, he suddenly saw
I received an invitation, and then, as if by chance, I spoke directly to my family and left on foot.
After walking out the door, he just walked around the Jingyuan twice, and finally came to a house with the same rules as his own, and then he boldly entered the house.
This is actually the home of Dazongzheng Zhao Shi? It turns out that just a few days ago, Zhao Shi?'s eldest son Zhao Bufan was suddenly transferred to the imperial camp, but instead joined the cavalry and became a direct subordinate of Qu Da.
This is a ceremonial invitation.
In fact, the date when the invitation was sent was because it was expected that the Empress Dowager would have a large-scale gathering, and it was a day when the invitation would probably not be seen.
However, the Zhao family themselves did not expect that their careful calculation would happen to coincide with the fact that Qu Da went too far. On the first day of the Tenth Festival, the imperial camp and the entire army were all under control. On the first night of the annual holiday, there was not even a party to drink.
There was no place to go, and in the end the commotion actually came to my own home.
There's nothing you can do about it once you're here, can you still fight out?
Can't beat it?
As a result, Da Zongzheng, who had also just returned, hurriedly held a banquet, and at the same time hurriedly sent people to invite his father-in-law Wang Shuzhan and his son Wang Ruohai to come with him. He was planning to rely on the father and son to take advantage of his son's brother-in-law Hu Hongxiu and Hu Jinglue.
To be a middle-aged person means to erase the past.
"how?"
After three rounds of drinking, some appetizers, and two sips of hot mutton soup, when it was time to speak, Qu Da spoke first. "Zhao Bufan, now you know what Feng Shui turns, right?"
Zhao Bufan raised his head blankly, but only looked at his father-in-law and biological father, not knowing how to reply.
"Don't think too much. I'm not talking about your little drunken holiday, but the inside story of you all..." Qu Duan raised his hand and pointed with his middle finger. "Before, among all the in-laws of yours, the most
It was your father who gained the upper hand, a dignified and upright man, while the Wang family relied on their in-laws to rely on your Zhao family, and then Hu Hongxiu and Hu Jinglue relied on their in-laws to rely on the Wang family. The result? As a result, once a hero has achieved great things, he can do it easily.
All of them have fallen apart, and now Hu Jinglue is known as one of the three Husbands in the current dynasty. He is ranked as a general manager at a young age, and his future prospects are unlimited. Instead, you two families have to rely on him together with your in-laws!"
Not to mention Zhao Bufan was startled for a moment, but Zhao Shi? Wang Shuzhan, Wang Ruohai, and several of Zhao Bufan's younger brothers who had set up another table in the outer hall were also startled.
In the end, it was Zhao Shi? He was sure of it. He twirled his beard slightly, and then sighed: "This is what I will do in my life. It is indeed his fate that my son can have such an in-law."
Qu Duan put down the glass of wine he was drinking from, shook his head and sneered: "Da Zongzheng, don't beat the drum here, just be at ease. Although I, Qu Da, sometimes act and speak absurdly, and I have done wrong things, but for one thing
Be arrogant and don't be slow to down, and bully outsiders but not inside... I don't know who stuffed your son into my cavalry, but since he was stuffed in, it turned out to be a good thing.
I don’t think it’s good for Hu Jinglue’s face, but it’s the opposite!”
Everyone in the audience was in high spirits, and Wang Shuzhan even winked at his eldest son-in-law. The latter understood, immediately stood up, and respectfully came to serve wine with his immediate boss, Qu Jiedou.
Qu Duan also openly accepted a glass of wine from the other party, pointed at the other party and smiled again: "Now that I have accepted your drink, I am no longer an outsider. Tell me the truth. Are you a little uneasy at first because you joined the cavalry?"
But when I think of your brother-in-law’s achievements, I can’t let go of him like a hundred claws scratching my heart? Is this why you are so coy?”
Zhao Bufan looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded slightly: "I have this intention... Jiedu doesn't know that the future of the clan members is embarrassing, but not everyone can study and study like the number one scholar.
For my sake, I would not let go of this opportunity no matter what... Besides, as Jiedu said, my brother-in-law’s achievements are right in front of me, and I have also been on the road since I was a child, so how can I not be envious of him?"
"Actually, the officials are not that harsh on you clan members." Qu Duan continued casually. "Whether you are going to school or joining the army, the officials are happy to see success. They just don't want you to occupy the honors and titles and not serve the country.
It’s just for effectiveness…”
"Who doesn't want to serve the country?" Hearing this, Wang Shuzhan, the ex-taichang who had never held an official position, finally broke his guard. He put down his wine glass and lamented repeatedly. "Jiedu, we are all the same.
I want to serve my country passionately, but there is no way to do so!"
"What do you call serving the country?" Qu Duan took two sips of the mutton soup and sneered more and more. "The officials like Yuan Xue, why do they like it? Aren't they attracted by the terms of seeking truth from facts and utilitarianism? In the end, you are good, what kind of alchemist are you?
If something is utilitarian, does it count as seeking truth from facts? It deserves it!"
Wang Shuzhan immediately turned pale... It turned out that as early as the second half of this year, the official published a small article in Lu Benzhong's tabloid, using that alchemy as an example, describing the use of mercury to melt gold, and then
The principle of precipitation, and then put forward the conjecture about the changes of solid, liquid, and gaseous states with temperature, as well as the compatibility and incompatibility between various materials, and finally encouraged everyone to summarize experimental information in this area in a tabloid... After reading that tabloid
, Wang Shuzhan himself did the experiment himself, and when he saw the gold really melting into the liquid tribute, he felt as depressed as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
Until now, every time he thinks that the Zhao Guan family had already discovered the alchemist's scam, but still resisted telling the truth, Wang Shuzhan couldn't help but want to give himself two slaps... Who didn't know that such a stupid thing,
It will be difficult for him to turn around in his life.
"That incident was caused by Zhidao (named by Wang Shuzhan) who was not aware of it for a moment and fell into the tricks of charlatans." Seeing that his in-laws had been exposed to big scars, Da Zong could not bear it, so he simply spoke out to interfere with it.
"If you say you don't notice, what does it mean that Da Zongzheng repeatedly urged the officials to sacrifice to the eight tombs?" Qu Duanfu turned back to look at Da Zongzheng, but still sneered. "The officials hated the two saints to the bone because of the Jingkang incident.
"What I want in my life is to succeed in the Northern Expedition and unify the nine states so that I can distinguish myself from the former Song Dynasty. When did Da Zongzheng wake up?"
"No matter when you wake up, you have conflicted with the official's intention. At that time, you had a clear conscience. Today, you are open-minded. Why bother mentioning the old things again?" Zhao Shiyi must take it calmly.
Qu Da took one look at Da Zongzheng and couldn't help but feel convinced, so he bypassed this person and warned Zhao Bufan again: "Your Majesty, if you learn a thing or two about your demeanor, it will be the same when you join the army."
There are benefits... And as your father said, the past is over, your family's situation is still excellent, and no matter what happened in the past, the first big plan in the future is the Northern Expedition. With your background, there is no way anyone can
If I dare to tamper with your merits, as long as I put my best effort into it, why can’t I fight for my future?”
"What Jiedu said is true." Zhao Bufan quickly stood up and prepared to pour wine again.
"It doesn't matter if you die." Qu Duan took the wine, glanced at the scene in the outer hall, and smiled even more. "Anyway, your father has a lot of sons, and they are trying to use you as a way to change your ways..."
Zhao Bufan, who had just drank a glass of wine, suddenly turned red from holding back the wine. Even the great Zongzheng Zhaoshi were also embarrassed for a moment.
While Qu Duanwu drank the wine, he looked at Wang Shuzhan, Wang Ruohai and his son opposite again, and then he was thoughtful for a moment.
Wang Shuzhan was startled for a moment, and his heart moved slightly, but he actually stood up on his own initiative, and regardless of his identity, he went around to the opposite side to pour wine for him, and then said: "Qu Jiedu has something to teach me?"
"I remembered something."
Qu Duan calmly took the other party's wine and drank it in one gulp. At this time, he was obviously smelling of alcohol. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly, but directly grabbed the other party's sleeve and asked jokingly. "Wang Taichang still wants to enter the secret in this life."
Can you enter the secret pavilion? Or can your son enter the secret pavilion in this life?"
Wang Shuzhan was excited and immediately responded sincerely: "If you can do this, you will live up to your kindness in this life."
Upon hearing this, his son Wang Ruohai also came over early and listened attentively.
"Don't remember me, this is just a matter of mutual benefit." Qu Duan shook his head and smiled, while the Zhao family and his son next to him hurriedly went to pick up the food, but they didn't see it. "The overall situation now is the Northern Expedition, and the success of the Northern Expedition is either this
It is well known to everyone that your two sons-in-law are looking for military strategy or finance... In fact, Wanqi Jinglue had an idea that day, but the officials took the initiative and missed it.
That's all, now there is still a chance, don't you father and son have any intention?"
"If we have the opportunity, we are naturally willing to do our best." Wang Shuzhan was puzzled for a moment. "But the imperial court has already exhausted all its means to obtain money. Where is there any room for us to repay the favor?"
"I'm not asking you to serve me, nor are you talking about means, but I'm talking about people's hearts." Qu Duan smiled half-heartedly. "Wang Gong, think about it...your two sons-in-law and several sons are all talented people. I can't see who can compete with them."
Who is stronger, and why was Hu Jinglue able to achieve great success first?"
Wang Shuzhan was about to speak, but Qu Duan was already in the seat and replied: "It was he who had joined the army as early as Jingkang, fought with the Jin people with weapons, and saw life and death on the ground on the front line of the city with his own eyes.
, I knew in my heart that these were troubled times, so I plunged into military affairs... Then, although I stumbled and was overly honest, I couldn't help but be the first batch of scholars in the world to know soldiers and armies. This is what is called responding to the times.
Take. Then last year, the things accumulated in my heart and the temperament I have developed over the past seven or eight years were finally repaid... This is called following the good fortune at the right time, and having accumulated a lot, so sooner or later this happened."
Wang Shuzhan rarely nodded sincerely, and even Da Zongzheng and his son, who were pretending to eat vegetables, felt a little emotional.
"Moreover, don't underestimate the difference between one day earlier and one year later, one year earlier and one year later. One day earlier is the difference between heaven and earth, and one year earlier is the difference between life and death." Qu Duan was obviously drunk.
"Han Shizhong was one year ahead of me and was the best in the world. Yue Pengju joined the army when the Jurchens first went south. Even if he was just a death warrior under Liu Ziyu's father, he had experienced the entire Song and Jin wars without fail.
How did I become the second best person in the world with this qualification? I am the greatest Qu Da. If I had not made a mistake and wasted a year in the middle, I dare not let these two people climb over me, but how could I let Li Yanxian be in front of me?
?”
This is a huge truth!
But Zhao Bufan and his son looked at each other and said nothing.
On the other side, although Wang Shuzhan and his son were already a little anxious, they could only nod their heads: "As Jiedu said, Jiedu should also have a four-character scroll!"
Hearing this, Qu Duan simply dropped his opponent's sleeves and stamped his feet... Although he usually didn't bother to pretend, this drunken gaffe was really rare:
"A real man is born in this world, regardless of all generations, regardless of one life! After the world was in chaos, I was determined to do great things and become famous for thousands of years, but I thought very highly of myself. I only felt that everything should be done by me. I only regarded others as obstacles, even officials
Neither my family nor the court took it seriously... When outsiders say I am domineering, I admit it, but when they say I am disloyal, I dare not deny it."
"It's all in the past." Even Da Zongzheng quickly came to persuade him.
But Qu Duan ignored the other party at all. At this point, he just picked up the Lanqiao Fengyue wine bottle at hand, raised his head and drank a few sips, then threw it on the ground, and continued to sigh with a mouthful of wine:
"But who would have thought that a proud person like me could actually meet this official? The strength of an official does not lie in his talent and virtue, but in his ability to always be tolerant of others and to attract the heroes of the world to his advantage... ...I have never been convinced that this official could use Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, or even Li Yanxian. Everyone knows that this kind of person is a hero in the world... But I never thought that the official could actually use Zhang Junna. The old boy in Qian's eyes can use water bandits like Zhang Rong, can use vulgar warriors like Wang De, and can tolerate useless trash like you. In the end, he can actually ignore the past and use me. Such a domineering person! Then I can only be convinced!"
The two pairs of father and son around heard the useless trash and wanted to scold them, but then they heard the other party's last sentence and didn't know what to say.
"Wang Gong." Qu Duan finished speaking in one breath, and felt much relieved. He grabbed Wang Shuzhan's sleeve again and said to him. "As I just said, you know, experience or not, it makes a world of difference... ...Have you ever thought about it, if Empress Dowager Yuanyou is coming, the Yangzhou people will most likely be unable to sit there anymore... These people have been hiding behind them for many years, enjoying their wealth and wealth without ever seeing any danger or danger. Aren't they just a bunch of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered? Where is it like in Tokyo, where even an honest man like Da Zongzheng has become so slippery that the officials can't catch them even if they want to?"
"Qu Jiedu means..."
"What I mean is... the official family has always lived up to others. As long as you don't involve the Queen Mother, no matter how you arrange it, you just need to give the officials the handle of those people and let the official family make a fortune. Are you worried that you and your son have no future? Even if the official still remembers the alchemist's bad deeds, your son will be punished! He will never sell you!" At this point, Qu Duan couldn't help but play. He flicked the opponent's waist and abdomen, which was already full of belly. "If you can make money for the official family, it will be equivalent to bringing a real alchemist into the official family... Is what happened that day still a big deal?"
Wang Shuzhan, Wang Ruohai and his son were both thoughtful.
Next to him, Zhao Shi? father and son wanted to speak, but in the end they were speechless.
After getting drunk, everyone went home.
A few days later, the New Year's Eve came, and the eighth year of Jianyan arrived as scheduled. Before the Shangyuan Festival, Queen Mother Yuanyou, who had played a huge role in supporting Zhao Guan's family, finally arrived in Tokyo. Along with her, there were countless people who had fled from Jingkang to Yangzhou in the past. The rich and powerful.
The last group of people from the prosperous Henan era, and also the most conservative and cowardly group, finally returned to Tokyo, which is as prosperous as before, after seven or eight years.
Don't tell me, maybe it's because it's full of feudalism and monarchy...The air in Tokyo actually seems so sweet and fresh.
PS: Thanks to Uncle Xiong for the reward, and thanks to the it6 student from the livestock shed for the cuteness. It took me a year to write this book, but it already has 160 alliance leaders.
