Chapter 154: The Lobbyist
The wind of the saber has a long history, and it is one with the costume,
However, since the beginning of the previous dynasty, the ministers of civil and military affairs went to the court, and the swords worn by the court clothes were mostly wooden, which was called the class sword.
At this point, the saber has completely become a kind of etiquette, a status symbol, and has lost its original meaning as a self-defense.
Although the long sword worn by Zheng Wei around his waist had a delicately decorated scabbard, like a lotus blooming, Lu Heng could see at a glance that it was not a wooden sword, but an imitation Zhan Lu sword cast by Ouyang Zi, a swordsmith at the time.
Despite this, Lu Heng still didn't think that Zheng Wei could compete with General Gao in swordsmanship, Gao Jing, a reckless man, obviously misunderstood the meaning of the sword, and only saw that Zheng Wei had slowly got up, holding the hilt of the sword on his waist, and his expression was free and leisurely, "It's okay, but there is no need for the general to concede three moves." ”
"Goro. Lu Heng called out, wanted to say something to stop it, and looked at Zheng Wei who wanted to untie the sword, but Gao Jing's sword was still pointing at Zheng Wei, Lu Heng had to hurriedly untie the saber on his waist, and blocked Gao Jing's sword with the unsheathed sword body, "General Gao, please put away the sword." There was a tone in his voice that could not be refused.
Gao Jing shouted, "Lu Liangzhi." But he turned his head angrily to look at Lu Heng beside him.
Lu Heng didn't care, he only raised the sword in his hand, "General Gao thinks that the sword in the general's hand is sharp, or the sword in someone's hand is sharp." ”
Gao Jing glanced at the sword in Lu Heng's hand and hesitated, Lu Heng's sword was given by His Majesty.
At this time, the rest of the people in the tent came back to their senses, and saw that the field was already tense, so they couldn't help but get up and gather around to play the round, and one of the staff members with a mustache smiled and said, "I heard that Gorou is proficient in riding and archery." The Zheng family is even more famous for its bravery. Presumably, the guards who came with Gorou were extraordinary in swordsmanship and archery. It's better to have Goro's guards and the general's soldiers compete and choose a day to compete in martial arts. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Lu Heng and Gao Jing, "What do Lu Shangshu and General Gao think?"
"That's very good. Lu Heng agreed very much, turned around and looked at Gao Jing with a smile on his face, "The general's fierce generals are like clouds, and they are competing in martial arts, so why bother the general to go out in person, it is better to hand it over to his subordinates." What does the general think?"
Gao Jing's swarthy face suddenly burst out laughing, "Then it depends on Lu Shangshu's meaning." With a sonorous sound, Gao Jing inserted his sword into the scabbard, turned around and returned to his seat, although he was a reckless man, he was not without brains, or he would not have gone from a small soldier to a general who now commanded more than 10,000 people.
Lu Heng's current position in the DPRK. He had to be a little scrupulous.
Gao Jing shouted, and asked people to come in and clean up.
Lu Heng's face, which had always been tense, instantly relaxed, and he regretted it. Because he is too eager and reckless, a reckless man like Gao Jing will be angry once he gets angry. There were no scruples to speak of, so he hurriedly went down the steps given by the eight-character bearded staff. pinned the sword in his hand to his waist and looked at Zheng Wei. He arched his hand and said, "Is it okay for Anu to sit on the same bed with me?"
Zheng Wei nodded and nodded, Lu Heng was in the Shizhao Imperial Court in just a few years, from the official Shangshu of the capital, the middle secretary, and the secretary of the collar and the inside, all the way up, just this scene, he just wanted to know Lu Heng's status in the Shizhao Imperial Court now.
After the dinner, Zheng Gang returned to the camp, only to see Lu Heng coming closely.
"Is there anything wrong with Lu Shangshu?" Zheng Wei didn't get up, the expression on his face was a little careless, but he had already guessed Lu Heng's intention.
When Lu Heng heard this, he smiled bitterly, "Anu, I am more than ten years older than you, if you want, you can call me brother." ”
"The sword on Shangshu's body is a few points sharper than General Gao's, and Anu doesn't dare to climb high. Zheng Wei joked, and even showed a little smile on his face.
"I'm just a fox and a tiger. Lu Heng shook his head, "Fang Cai Wulang is also so bold, I was so scared that I was sweating." ”
"How can you scare Lord Shangshu, Anu just believes that Lu Shangshu can solve it. ”
"Anu, are you complimenting me or sarcastic about me? Lu Heng saw that the sword on Zheng Wei's waist had already been untied, and leaned back slightly on the crypt behind him, his face was full of jokes, in the end, he was young and vigorous, no better than him, he was much less timid now, and he was also much more cautious.
I only heard Lu Heng ask: "Brother Ling Boming is friendly with General Huan, according to Anu's understanding, how is General Gao compared?"
"Brother once praised: Uncle Huan Qi is a talented general in the world, which is rare. Zheng Wei glanced at Lu Heng, got up and said: "It's just that because of his father, he can't be reused, and he is confined to a corner, like a dragon swimming in the shallows, unable to stretch." ”
"Compared with the land of Hebei to the left of the river, what does Anu think?"
"Far less than Jiang Zuo. ”
"With the talent of Uncle Huan, he still can't be a shepherd, and the land of Jiangzuo is Rao, and the number of acres of cultivated land is still lost in Hebei, so it can be seen that Zhao Guoshi does not lose to Southern Chu, although my Majesty is a foreign race, but good scriptures, happy articles, and I and other clansmen are no different, Your Majesty loves Wulang's talent for a long time, if you get Wulang, you will be able to regard it as a treasure, entrusted with important tasks. ”
Lu Heng looked at Zheng Wei and was silent, and then persuaded: "Wulang Nan went to Jiankang, whether it is for the family or his personal future, he hopes to make a name for himself and show his ambitions. ”
After speaking, he asked again: "What does Anu think?"
"Yes. Zheng Wei did not deny it.
So, Lu Heng said again: "Anuk has ever thought that the Zheng family will go to Jiankang, with the suspicion of the Xiao family, 30,000 parts will not be able to enter Jiankang, besides, Jiankang, Jingkou and even Huiji, after more than 100 years of migration and development, the population has overflowed, where will the Zheng family be settled?
As soon as he heard this, Zheng Wei's heart suddenly paused, this question, he and his brother had thought about it before, the Zheng family was originally stationed in Jingkou, Xie Shangshu invited him to Huiji, uncle and brother thought that the rich fields of Jiankang were mostly occupied by local clans, and Jingkou Huiji, and the rich land was mostly occupied by the southward migration clans, and now the Zheng family has passed, and can only choose another place, in this matter, only please ask the fourth uncle and Qilangjun, however, when he was in Xiangcheng, this matter has not been determined, and he has been worried.
It's just that at this moment, Zheng Wei didn't want to say more, and said lightly: "Brother Liang is too worried, Zheng's four rooms have been moved to Jingkou for more than 40 years. ”
In Zheng Wei's expression, Lu Heng noticed the change at that moment, and immediately understood, what he said just now was about to the point, in order not to cause disgust, so he didn't say more, only got up and said: "Wulang rest early, I will arrange for Wulang to meet Zheng Shibalangjun tomorrow." ”
Zheng Wei glanced at Lu Heng in surprise, but this time he got up and thanked him, "There is a brother who works to take care of him." ”
Lu Heng laughed, "With Anu's words, even if you go to the soup and fire, you don't dare to resign." ”
Zheng Wei personally sent Lu Heng to the outside of the tent, Lu Heng suddenly turned his head and said to Zheng Wei: "Anu, you can think about it carefully, we are not in a hurry, His Majesty has been waiting for Wulang for five years, and now he is not in a hurry at this time, wait for time, if it is the Zheng family who goes south, he can't go to Jingkou or Huiji, and it is not too late for Anu to make a decision." ”
"Okay, Brother Liang also rests early. Zheng Wei arched his hand, and now that Lu Heng left, he turned around and went back to the camp tent, knelt down again, and the indifferent expression on his face had faded and became stern.
After sitting for a long time, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the front of him, and the two staff members who followed came out from behind the curtains.
Two staff members, one in his early thirties, surnamed Fang, with a white face and beard, is very handsome and young, and the other is around fifty years old, surnamed Hao, is Hao Yi's uncle, with a face of Chinese characters, a white and chubby figure, walking up, showing eight characters, the two came forward and saluted Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei ordered them to sit down, only to hear Hao Master Bo open his mouth first, "Xiao Lang must not let Lu Shangshu's words be confused, Shi Zhao has killed countless people in the past twenty years, and he has never given up on Xingyang." Because of the hot weather, Fang just hid behind the curtain, his clothes were already semi-wet, and large beads of sweat were pouring from his forehead, and he kept wiping them with his wide sleeves.
Zheng Wei snorted, looked at the landlord Bo, but the landlord Bo did not speak immediately, there was still a little hesitation in his eyes, and after a while, he pondered: "Wulang can wait for the news from Jiankang's side, just like the last sentence Lu Shangshu said, Wulang will wait for Shilang to settle down, and then make a decision." ”
Zheng Wei also nodded, and instructed the two masters to go back without making any further remarks.
It is undeniable that for Shi Zhao, he still has a gap in his heart, just like Hao Zhubo said, Shi Zhao has killed countless people in the past 20 years, and once made Hebei an empty room.
For Nan Chu, it is not so much that it is at the invitation of Xie Shangshu, but it is better to say that it is an acknowledgment of orthodoxy.
This scale, all along, in Zheng Wei's heart, is very clear, and it has long been offset, and it can change overnight.
It's just that now, for him, how to make the eighteen uncles and his party leave safely before he leaves safely, now, he can only agree first, but at the latest before Shiro settles down, if not, once Zhao Guo's patience is exhausted, what awaits him is his life.
At the same time, Zheng Jun and his entourage, who had arrived in Jingzhou, had been waiting for Jiankang's letter, so they never set off.
Nearly 30,000 troops guarded, stationed outside the city fifty miles away from Jingzhou, Zheng Jun took his clansmen and Guo Feng's two families, first entered Jingzhou City to live, during this period, the first thing to go to is to visit General Yuan.
Not only did he live in the city, but also coincided with the time of peace in Jingzhou, banquets in the city, often received invitations, Zheng Jun has always brought the children of the clan to the appointment, only once with the three sisters of Jiuniang and Ten Niang Luo, but he didn't want to cause a chaos. (To be continued......)
