Chapter 172: The Fragrance of Flowers Strikes

Zhu Mian's nest is in Suzhou, because he is from Suzhou.

When Fang La got into trouble, the slogan he used was to kill Zhu Mian.

The root cause lies in the fact that the entire Jiangnan people who were tossed by Zhu Mian are not happy, and everyone wants to eat their bones and sleep on their skins.

The history records that Zhao Ji was interested in strange flowers and stones, and Zhu Mian was able to meet his intentions and search for rare flowers and stones in Zhejiang.

You can only trust half of the history books after the Han Dynasty.

The real reason is that Zhao Ji, who likes luxury enjoyment, has no money. In the name of Huashigang, the south of the Yangtze River was scraped.

But he also wants to save face, so Zhu Mian is a dirty glove for work.

If you think about it simply, you can know how to find stones on the edge of Taihu Lake to get the people of Jiangnan to go bankrupt and sell their children.

The truth behind it is that Zhu Mian is helping Zhao Ji make money.

And the flower stone class is just a name for scraping.

While Zhu Mian made money for Zhao Ji, he did not forget his pocket.

His family's mansion was built like a royal palace, with servants like clouds and maidservants like rain. The land owned by the name is as high as hundreds of thousands of acres.

And he is not alone, his father, brothers, sons and nephews have all used his power to become a tyrant in Jiangdong.

Theoretically speaking, Wang Xiao and Zhu Mian are people on two roads.

Before, Wang Xiao was still thinking about how to get on the line with Zhu Mian, but he didn't expect that people would take the initiative to invite. This saved Wang Xiao a lot of effort.

When Wang Xiao went to Zhu Mian's house for a banquet, thousands of miles away in Bianliang City, Prime Minister Wang Huang hurriedly entered the palace to see Zhao Ji.

In Zixiao Palace, Zhao Ji, who was meditating and cultivating in a Taoist robe, took the tea handed over by Liang Shicheng, "Aiqing, what is the so-called matter here?" But what news did the Northern Expedition have? ”

Wang Hao saluted respectfully and said, "Official, Weichen is not here for the Northern Expedition. It's a matter over there. ”

Zhao Ji was even more puzzled now, "Jiangnan, hasn't Fang Layu's party been pacified?" What else could there be. ”

Wang Hao took out a stack of letters from his wide cuffs and handed them to Liang Shicheng.

After a vague glance with Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao said cautiously, "Wu Anfu has seized a batch of letters in Fang La's lair. Because it involved important ministers in the court, he didn't dare to be good at it and sent it to Bianliang City. After Wei Chen saw it, he was frightened in his heart, and asked His Majesty to take a look. ”

Hearing Wang Huang say so solemnly, Zhao Ji was also curious.

After taking the letter and opening it, it didn't take much effort to turn his face extremely ugly.

"Dog thief! Dare to bully the king! ”

These letters were all written by someone to Fang La, and it was written that the two of them discussed the annexation of the southeast wealth through Fang La's uprising. and secretly financed grain and weapons, and provided official and military intelligence so that Fang La could become bigger. After the matter was completed, the two crossed the river and ruled and divided the world of Zhao and Song equally.

The letters were all signed by one person.

Zhu Mian.

After being furious, Zhao Ji asked puzzledly, "Didn't the rebels raise troops in the name of crusading against Zhu Mian?" How did they come together? ”

"Weichen also felt that this matter was too strange, and specially ordered someone to review it strictly." Wang Hao saluted and said, "After inspecting these letters, it is confirmed that it is indeed the handwriting of Zhu Mian. Even the imprint used is Zhu Mian's private seal. ”

Zhao Ji's face turned red and white, and he still couldn't believe that the loyal Zhu Mian would betray him, and he wanted to win the world of Zhao Song.

"Official."

Liang Shicheng on the side suddenly opened his mouth at this time and sent an assist, "Weichen heard that Zhu Mian's house is vast, comparable to the palace. There are violations of the rules in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. He even secretly accumulated thousands of dead soldiers and armor soldiers, and named them the Imperial Forest. He also forcibly occupied private houses. There is a folk proverb that says, 'Gold belt, silver belt, Zhao family world Zhu family house.' 'This man is very ambitious. ”

If you want to say why Liang Shicheng joined forces with his political rival Wang Hao at this time, the reason is that Zhu Mian is essentially a person who belongs to Cai Jing.

Zhu Mian and his son Zhu Chong took the Cai Jing line, and through Cai Jing, Zhu Mian got close to Zhao Ji and got the follow-up of favor.

Among the various factions in the imperial court, Liang Shicheng is known as the hidden phase, and he has always been against Cai Jing.

Needless to say, Wang Hao only got rid of Cai Jing before he became the prime minister.

Even if there is a fight between them, they are real allies in dealing with Cai Jing.

The reason why Cai Jing was able to be reset four times after being photographed by Zhao Ji four times was not because his calligraphy was good-looking, but because he could get money for Zhao Ji.

And Zhu Mian, who made money from Jiangdong, is an important arm of Cai Jing.

"Official." Wang Hao began to fill in the soil for Zhu Mian, "If you want to know whether Zhu Mian has any objections, just send someone to search his house, if there is a letter from Fang Mian, naturally everything will be revealed to the world." ”

Zhao Ji is a person who believes in this and believes in that. But in fact, he really cherishes and believes in only himself.

His courtiers had a different heart and obtained evidence, and it was impossible not to investigate carefully.

"In that case, this matter will be handed over to Aiqing."

"Yes." ——

"The appeasement makes the great car come, and it shines brightly."

Wearing a brocade robe and a blessed face, Zhu Mian stepped forward with a smile and saluted Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao looked at Zhu Mian, who was like a big businessman in front of him, and also gave his hand, "I've seen the defense envoy." ”

Zhu Mian has an official position, and he is the defense envoy of Hezhou. Of course, this is just a hanging name.

"Come in, please." Zhu Mian stepped forward with a smile and took Wang Xiao's arm and walked towards the gate.

Zhu Mian's house is very large, and the servants in the family wear all kinds of brocade clothes and jade belts, and they are dressed luxuriously. When they came to the backyard, the walking maids were all pretty, wearing gold and silver.

The pavilions in the courtyard and the garden lake are extremely exquisite and beautiful.

"Please take a seat at the appeasement."

In the spacious hall, Zhu Mian, who had always maintained a friendly smile, arranged for Wang Xiao to sit down. Clapped their hands, and a group of maids in colorful clothes stepped forward with all kinds of delicacies.

The dishes are exquisite and the ingredients are exquisite.

Zhu Mian clapped his hands again, and the music sounded under the porches on both sides. A team of bright singers stepped forward and danced. ::

The environment is nice and the atmosphere is nice.

And Zhu Mian is proficient in the way of flattery, although he is like a demon in front of the people, he can not only pull down his body when he needs flattery, but also keep witticism. It gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.

After eating and drinking, the singers retreated.

The plates and glasses were removed, and tea was served.

Wang Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip: "This tea is good." ”

Zhu Mian immediately beckoned outside, "Go and pack three catties of dragon group Shengxue and send it to the mansion of the pacification envoy." ”

Longtuan Shengxue is a royal tribute tea remodeled by Zheng Kejian, which is extremely precious. It is known as a myth in the history of Chinese tea. I didn't expect Zhu Mian to send it directly by the pound here.

Although it was decided a long time ago to get rid of Zhu Mian, the people of Jiangnan were also peaceful. Even Xiao Rang's reply to Fang La's letter had already been prepared, just waiting to bury Zhu Mian.

But Zhu Mian's warm hospitality still made Wang Xiao feel a little embarrassed.

Then he accepted the three catties of dragon group Shengxue.

Although Wang Xiao had drunk all kinds of tribute tea in other worlds, Longtuan Shengxue was lost after the Huizong Dynasty, leaving only an eternal legend.

"Xuanhe Beiyuan Tribute Tea Record" records: "Xuanhe Gengzi is old, Caochen Zheng Gong Kejian was founded as a silver silk water bud. The cover will pick up the ripe buds and then remove them, only take a wisp of their hearts, and store them with treasures to clear the spring stains, bright and clean, if the silver thread is gone. Its system is a new square inch, there is a small dragon winding on it, and the dragon garden is better than snow. ”

"The wonder of tea, the best of the snow, each catty is worth 40,000 yuan, the cost is amazing, and it is exclusively for the emperor to enjoy."

He hadn't drunk this tea before.

I ate food, drank wine, watched dance, and received tea.

Next, it's time to get down to business.

Zhu Mian complained that Fang La's gang had made a mess of the errand of the Jiangnan Yingfeng Bureau.

Now that he has been reinstated and returned to reorganize the bureau, there are countless people in various places to fight against errands. Make it hard for him to do things.

Zhu Mian said that he wanted to ask Wang Xiao to help send troops to suppress those Diao people who refused to pay.

In the face of such unreasonable demands, what else could Wang Xiao do. Of course, I agreed.

Anyway, Zhu Mian couldn't be around for long, so he flickered a few words casually, and regarded it as a good deed to send him on the road with peace of mind.

Seeing Wang Xiao doing things so happily, Zhu Mian laughed heartily.

After drinking tea, Zhu Mian invited Wang Xiao to go to the back house to enjoy the flowers.

The back house is very large and beautiful, so there is no need to say more.

However, the flowers that Zhu Mian said were not appreciated in the garden, but in a beautiful three-story building.

"Please appease the peace of mind and enjoy the flowers, the old man still has some mundane things to do. I took my leave. ”

For the routines of these people, Wang Xiao has long seen it thoroughly.

He nodded righteously and said, "Defense, please." I can do it myself. ”

Pushing open the door and walking into the building, the inside is indeed full of flowers, and all kinds of delicate flowers rush over like a spring breeze.

"The fragrance of flowers hits people, it is really beautiful in the world."

Wang Xiao admired the flowers for an afternoon, and I don't know how many delicate flowers were picked. It wasn't until night fell outside that the lights began to be turned on. He reluctantly left here with the fragrance of flowers.

Leaving Zhu Mian's mansion, Wang Xiao did not go back directly. Instead, he went to Han Shizhong's temporary residence in Hangzhou first.

Han Shizhong is now the commander of the Ma Army, a proper and powerful general.

Although Wang Xiao did not allow anyone to eat empty salaries, there were still local wealthy families who took the initiative to donate another courtyard for him to live in. For this kind of thing, Wang Xiao doesn't care.

Under Han Shizhong's strange gaze, Wang Xiao took a bath and changed his clothes at his house.

"If you have free time recently, go to Wuyuan County, Shezhou. Go to the local county governor Yang Bangyi. ”

Han Shizhong first received the order, and then asked, "What are you looking for him?" Could it be that this person is the remnants of Fang La? ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

Wang Xiao glared at him: "People are real heroes who have left their names in history." You go to him and say that it is time for his youngest son to serve the country, and let him be a horse envoy in your army. ”

Han Shizhong was even more surprised.

How can Yang Bangyi's youngest son, He De, become a centurion as soon as he comes? Isn't it a relative of the pacification envoy?

Wang Xiao has a large number of soldiers and horses, but there are only three battalion leaders who really have a formal establishment. The identity of the others is all military and civilian husbands.

Among the three battalion heads, the horse battalion commanded by Han Shizhong is the most elite cavalry unit, and they are all selected from the best of other battalions.

The son of a county lieutenant who had never heard of his name at all was able to be a centurion as soon as he came, which made Han Shizhong feel very unconvinced.

There were only a dozen centurions in his battalion.

"Dare to ask my lord, who is the surname of Yang County Lieutenant Jizi? Who is the hero? ”

Wang Xiao smiled: "He is indeed a first-class hero in the world." ”

"His surname is Yang, and his name is Zaixing."
