Chapter 245: Lin Bai appeared again
It was Chen Dingzhou, who came from Sichuan and Shu and won the seventeenth place in Wuke this time, the smile on Guo Zongxun's face was even stronger, and this Chen Dingzhou was also a big one.
Chen Dingzhou is just a pseudonym, in fact, this person is called Yang You Hu Rui, and he is the eldest son of the Prime Minister of the Western Shu Kingdom.
Why did Yang You Hu Rui come to participate in the martial arts under a pseudonym, Guo Zongxun did not know, in short, he was now called Chen Dingzhou.
Since Jin Yiwei found out Chen Dingzhou's true identity, Guo Zongxun issued a strict order, pretending not to know, just monitor it closely, and I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Yang Youtian and Yang You Hu Rui and his son.
"Chen Dingzhou, you can come from Sichuan and Shu to Da Zhou to participate in Wuke, I am very happy, come, drink this cup full, and be loyal to the country."
According to the usual practice, Guo Zongxun is also ready to encourage Chen Dingzhou, today is a happy day, I don't want to think so much, as for which country you are loyal to, I will not care for the time being.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... If the minister is guilty, please condemn your majesty. ”
When Guo Zongxun gave wine to Wuju, he took Yue Fei and others with him, and there were no other martial arts, and the emperor's side always had to keep a safe distance.
Chen Dingzhou spoke in a low voice, kneeling on the ground, but did not kowtow, but looked at Guo Zongxun with a hopeful look.
"Chen Dingzhou, get up and speak, you are the seventeenth of my Great Zhou Martial Arts, and I am preparing to send you to the army to have a good experience, what are you guilty of?"
Chen Dingzhou stood up, still bowed, and said in a low voice:
"The criminal concealed his identity, and the criminal minister was actually the son of the prime minister of Xishu, who was raised by Hu Rui ......"
Now you can call him Hu Rui, but I didn't expect him to admit his true identity, what is the purpose of his doing this?
"Raised by Hu Rui, I already knew your true identity, it was I who ordered the people below to pretend not to know, I just want to see the eldest son of the prime minister's family in Xishu, what is the intention of coming to my Great Zhou to participate in the martial arts."
Hu Rui broke out in a cold sweat, he originally thought that his father and himself were doing it seamlessly.
Since the reign of Guo Rong, the situation of the strong soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou has been formed, and he has also fought against Xishu, Xishu was defeated, retreated hundreds of miles, and sued for peace with the Great Zhou.
After Guo Zongxun succeeded to the throne, the Great Zhou brought the momentum of recovering Yanyun's great victory, sent troops in winter, fought on two fronts, pacified the Northern Han Dynasty in the north, and conquered Jinling in the south.
East...... It's the sea.
In the west, even Tubo and Da Zhou sent troops to the plateau to find trouble with the Chide tribe.
Xishu, which was left in the southwest of the Great Zhou, was not beaten again.
Yang Yutian, the prime minister of Western Shu, knew that the momentum of the Great Monday's unification of the country had become unstoppable, and he would be a loyal minister for Xishu...... There is no need for this at all, in this era, loyal ministers are a joke.
Therefore, Yoyuda must consider his own family.
Yang Youtian's eldest son, Yang Yu Hu Rui, has been smart since he was a child, both civil and military, but Yang Youtian has always declared to the outside world that the eldest son of his family, Yang You Hu Rui, is physically weak, and he can't govern the country and the country, and he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, so he can only be a Tian Shehan at home and live his whole life.
Yang Youtian secretly sent Yang You Hu Rui to the mountains west of Xishu, and recognized a Taoist priest as a master, practicing martial arts and studying the art of war.
It is said that Yang Yutian is a civil official, even if the eldest son of his family wants to hide his clumsiness, he should learn it secretly, it should be the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Eight Arguments, why did he choose martial arts?
This is the genius of Yoyuda, his vision, looking at the long-term.
"In today's troubled times, civil officials can only be wall grass, today they will shout long live to this mountain, and tomorrow they will swear allegiance to another minister, these words, if you say too much, the nature of being a human being will be gone, we will raise your family, and we must not fall to that point."
"Therefore, there must be outstanding children in the family who abandon literature and follow martial arts, and become handsome people who can lead the army, no matter how bad they are, they must also become generals who can charge into battle."
The elders of the Yangyou family are almost all opposed to this statement.
"We raised the family, and our ancestors once had a marksman, but as a military general, there was no good end in the end, either died on the battlefield, or was persecuted to death by the civil officials, so the Yangyou family has gone through the precipitation of the past generations, and finally successfully transferred to the ranks of civil officials, and now you want us to turn back, which is simply unreasonable."
Raising Yutian can't convince the family elders, so they are no longer entangled, the family is the family, and I care more about the vein of my Yutian, not in the era of war and war, when encountering a military disaster, there is no one who can save the lives of his family.
Therefore, it is up to Tian to decide, do it alone, and take care of your own family's affairs, and leave the rest to fate.
It was under such circumstances that Hu Rui was trained to become a military general, a military general with both civil and military skills.
This time, the Great Zhou Wuke, recruiting talents from all over the world, Yang Youtian felt that the opportunity had come, and he successfully changed his identity through some means, and pretended to be an ordinary martial artist Chen Dingzhou in Xishu to participate in the Great Zhou Wuke.
Before leaving, Yang Youtian specially told Yang You Hu Rui:
"Rui'er, the main purpose of your trip to Kaifeng in the Great Zhou is not to compete, but to find a way to enter the Great Zhou army, sincerely loyal to the Great Zhou Emperor, and strive to earn a foundation for our family in the Great Zhou.
"Father, what if the Great Zhou Emperor sent the child to lead the army to attack Xishu?"
"Fight, you're welcome, if you can be admitted to the Great Zhou Wuju, you are Chen Dingzhou of the Great Zhou, not the son of the Prime Minister of Xishu raised by Hu Rui, you have to remember this."
"Will that child only be called Chen Dingzhou in the future?"
"No, as long as you have the opportunity to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, you have to ask the Emperor of the Great Zhou for the first time, this is a gamble for your father, betting that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty really wants to recruit talents from all over the world, and you take the initiative to admit it, maybe not only will you not be guilty of it, but there will be great benefits."
Yang by Hu Rui came to Da Zhou to Kaifeng, all the way through the generals, and finally won the seventeenth place, in this martial arts, only he and Kong Rui two people of the art of war strategy, won the two examiners Yue Fei and Wei Renpu unanimously praised.
Yang You Hu Rui didn't expect that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would attach so much importance to martial arts, and he actually gave wine to martial arts one by one, and said some words of encouragement.
To be able to meet the Great Zhou Emperor so soon, this opportunity must be grasped.
Therefore, when Guo Zongxun walked to his side, Yang You Hu Rui did not hesitate at all, and directly confessed to Guo Zongxun and pleaded guilty.
Another thing that Hu Rui didn't expect was that the Great Zhou Emperor had already known his true identity, but he never told it.
"The criminal minister is dead, the criminal minister is forced to do this, the criminal minister's father is the prime minister of the Xishu Kingdom, if the criminal minister uses his real identity to participate in the Great Zhou Wuke, he will definitely implicate the family, the criminal minister's father came up with a way to let the criminal minister use a false identity to participate in the Great Zhou Wuke, the father of the criminal minister is the same as the criminal minister, and he is willing to belong to the Great Zhou as soon as possible and be loyal to His Majesty."
If it had just crossed over, Guo Zongxun would have hated this kind of person who had defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, but now it is different.
In this specific historical era, under the situation of changing the banner of the king at the head of the city for more than 200 years, it is reasonable to plan for himself and his family, and choose good birds and trees.
It is true that people do not destroy heaven and earth for their own sake.
It is only in righteousness...... It will be despised.
Therefore, Guo Zongxun wants to dispel Hu Rui's doubts in this regard.
"I understand the painstaking planning of your father and son for the sake of the family, I am very pleased, people like your father and son who know the current affairs, it is too late for me to welcome it, what is the crime, I will not talk about this today, come, drink this cup full, and be loyal to the country."
"Thank Your Majesty for your Majesty's grace, and the minister swears to the heavens, swears allegiance to Your Majesty, and serves the Great Zhou."
Yang You Hu Rui is a smart person, and smart people often don't need to say anything, as for whether the Great Zhou Emperor immediately believed what he just said...... The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it over time.
"I allow you to continue to use Chen Dingzhou's identity and do things well, as long as you can contribute to the Great Zhou, I will reward you without hesitation."
All 215 Jinke martial arts, Guo Zongxun gave wine one by one, encouraged one by one, and after this circle, the sky was dark.
"Yue Aiqing, you will accompany Jin Kewuju here instead of me to drink, let them drink openly today, and those who are drunk must be taken care of, and today in the palace, anyone who is drunk and has no form, I will not be held accountable."
"The minister obeys the order, and the minister respectfully sends it to Your Majesty."
Guo Zongxun left with Wei Zhongxian and Li Tongjie and returned to the imperial study, first, he was present, and those martial arts must not dare to let go of drinking, and second, Liu Bowen sent news from Jinling again.
Liu Bowen's small life for a while is simply not too moisturizing, and he sleeps on the flower boat of the Qinhuai River every day, and he is also the flower boat of the number one Oiran in the Qinhuai River.
Now, the whole Jinling City has spread all over the city, and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has sent a womanizer to the governor Jiangnan.
Is there a shortage of beauties in Jiangnan, there is absolutely no shortage of them, so why don't you hurry up and send them to the Governor to let the Governor try it, and when will it be?
Wave after wave of beauties, I don't know where these people were found, and no matter whether the big girls are happy or not, they are all dressed up and displayed on the side of the Qinhuai River, waiting to get on the flower boat to serve our governor.
Liu Bowen is unceremoniously, he will accept all the orders, I will give as much as you want.
Then, turning his head, he secretly distributed these beauties to his unmarried generals and the leaders of the Jinyi Guard.
"Remember, these girls are from good families, and they are married to you as wives and take care of the housework, so that you can do errands for your majesty without distraction, and if you let me know that there are people who look down on these girls and abuse them, you will be expelled from the barracks and deprived of your military status."
The household registration of the Great Zhou is very popular, and the people in the surrounding neighborhoods are crowded to become the people of the Great Zhou.
The military status of the Great Zhou is even more popular, this is the only way to become the upstart of the Great Zhou in the future, work hard for the country, be loyal to the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and work hard for yourself to become the upstart of the Great Zhou.
Jinling City is searching for a lot, I don't know who is caught, and there is no shadow drawing, only Zhao Pu knows, Liu Bowen guessed that he was in Jinling, and he was going to dig him out.
"Shopkeeper, come to an upper room, you want to face the street, haha, there is a lively look on the street."
Recently, the guests who came to the inn to stay, most of them want the guest rooms facing the street, they have not done anything wrong, they are not afraid of ghosts calling the door, there is a lively look, that is must be put together.
————
"Guest officer, the guest rooms facing the street are full, and to tell you the truth, even the T-shaped rooms on the first floor are full of rooms facing the street."
Zhao Pu greeted the guests with a smile, and he now ordered all the spies in Jinling City to stop their actions, and be a citizen of Dazhou with peace of mind, and they must not act rashly.
He himself is now the shopkeeper of an inn, called Sun Liang.
"Well, there's no way, then give me a room in the B number."
While registering the guests, Zhao Pu said:
"Don't worry, guest officer, when there is a bustle, I will let the guy inform you, as long as you are not afraid, this bustle, you can take a look."
After the registration was completed, he instructed the guy to lead the guest upstairs, watching the figure of the guest disappear at the corner of the stairs, Zhao Pu greeted a guy, the guy hurriedly walked over, Zhao Pu said in a low voice:
"No. 5, the two people in this room, I will be stared to death, in addition, all the people in the inn, prepare to evacuate, and the rest of the brothers in Jinling City will continue to hibernate."
Zhao Pu finally felt that something was wrong, and only then did he realize that he had underestimated Liu Bowen.
The officers and soldiers who searched the inn came once a day, and at first the search was very strict, but later, it was basically a formality, and there were even those who directly asked for silver, and gave the silver, and even the search was exempted.
I heard that in Jinling City, the most searched places are academies, literary museums, poetry clubs and the like, at first Zhao Pu was still complacent, where Liu Bowen would be his opponent, and he couldn't even guess where Zhao was hiding.
Later, the number of guests who came to stay at the inn suddenly began to increase, and all the guests who came were not from Jiangnan, but from Jiangbei.
These Jiangbei people all said that they came to Jiangnan to seek business opportunities, but when they came to see, all the commerce and trade in Jiangnan were controlled by the imperial court, and they had no chance to make a fortune by taking advantage of the chaos.
What made Zhao Pu start to be alert was that these guests were intentionally or unintentionally close to the guys in the inn, wanting to know more about the situation in Jinling City and see if there were any other opportunities to make a fortune.
The people brought by Zhao Pu also came from Jiangbei, and they didn't know much about the situation in Jinling City......
This is the flaw, if among these guests who come to stay, there are really secret agents of the imperial court, it will be too dangerous.
The one who came today, Zhao Pu looked at his hand and knew that this master's hand was holding a knife, and it was very likely that he had killed many people.
But this master spoke fluent Jiangnan dialect again, and he came to the inn to stay and said that he had no purpose, just to be able to watch the excitement and convenience.
This kind of nonsense, let alone Zhao Pu, even an ordinary innkeeper won't believe it.
So, who is this master?
The Yangtze River bandit who has not heard from him for a long time, the Jinfan thief Lin Bai, is this master.
He is really not a secret agent of the Great Zhou court, he came to Jinling City, purely to be idle, just to see the excitement.
With him came his subordinates, called the black rat, the black rat is an orphan, he has no name since he was a child, and the nickname of the black rat was given to him by Lin Bai.
"Boss, can we go to Qinhuai River tonight to find happiness?"
