Volume 2 Reverse Water Chapter 35 Landing in Xuzhou (Eighth Watch)
"Your Highness go back and rest first, beware of the dampness, the lower official will wait here with someone." Wang Guoan looked at Fu Pi and said with some anxiety. The Great Qin Dynasty knew up and down that His Royal Highness took the lead in attacking Xiangyang and accidentally suffered an arrow wound in his calf. Although it has long been cured, it has left hidden dangers and cannot stand the dampness.
This is Donghai County, Xuzhou, the sandy land by the sea is covered with ceremonial canopies, and all kinds of officials, gentry and people of all sizes are arranged neatly, standing in a regular manner, facing the sea. The two people standing in the front are the eldest prince Fu Pi and Wang Guoan.
Fu Pi glanced at Wang Guo'an from the corner of his eye, and said lightly: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, I came to greet Pei Shui Master by the emperor's order, how can I go back to rest without anyone seeing it?" Pei's soldiers fought bloodily and opened up the territory in the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians for our dynasty, and they were not too tired. If you stand here for a few days, what are you afraid of getting wet? ”
Now the imperial court has distinguished the mutinous Yizhou sailors from the Pei soldiers who captured Huiji, one is a rebel and the other is a hero. Although the imperial court did not know the name of Tiance Army, it would no longer use Yizhou Sailor to refer to the soldiers who later captured Huiji, but collectively referred to these soldiers as Pei Bu. The so-called Pei Ministry, Pei Yuanluo's father and son's trilogy also!
Wang Guoxin sighed silently, he and His Highness have been friends since childhood, and naturally knows His Highness's thoughts. The reason why His Royal Highness is so enthusiastic is that he even did not hesitate to put out a bunch of honor guards every day for more than ten days after arriving in Xuzhou, and then went back after standing for a day. Of course, there is respect for the meritorious soldiers, but more of them are only for Pei Shengqin.
This Pei Shengqin was originally a famous family, but this time he was ordered to be in danger and made a monstrous contribution, he is not very old, and the future must be unlimited. Especially now, the high-ranking monk Shi Dao'an, who is trusted by His Majesty, has a faint friendship with the crown prince, and what His Highness urgently needs is a person who can speak in front of His Majesty. Fools can see that His Majesty is now full of good feelings for this Pei Shengqin, which is even more unmissable.
A hundred years after Your Majesty, there will always be a new emperor in the Great Qin Dynasty. There is only one dragon chair, but there is more than one person who wants to sit on it, which forms competition and intrigue, referred to as winning the heir.
Wang Guoan didn't know why, and suddenly remembered the topic of "establishing a long-standing chief, a successor, and a virtuous person" that had been circulating in China for a long time, and his heart sank, and he persuaded: "The lower officials think that it is the King of Nan'an who should be more careful than the prince." ”
Fu Pi smiled and said softly, "Fu Deng? He is just good at fighting, and he is far away from Xizhou, and he has no connections in the court. Although there are some good names, what kind of climate has it become. ”
Wang Guo'an buried his head: "The king of Nan'an has soldiers, and compared to the imperial edict, Xizhou Jian'er may be more willing to obey the arrangement of the king of Nan'an." This is what both His Highness and the Crown Prince lack. ”
Fu Pi smiled again and stopped answering, still unimpressed in his heart. Since ancient times, Lichu has looked at nothing more than three things: grandi, long, and virtuous. The country has been boiling for many years, and they all think that the crown prince Fu Hong is the grandson, the eldest prince Fu Pi is the long, and the king of Nan'an Fu Deng is the virtuous. It is believed that the next emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty will definitely be produced from these three people.
Fu Pi has always scoffed at this statement, and in his opinion, his opponent is only the crown prince Fu Hong. As for Nan'an Wang Fu Deng... After all, the Great Qin Dynasty is the final say of the characters in the temple, and compared to the imperial court, the will of the army in Xizhou is nothing.
Virtuous name? Without the support of the princes of the court, can this virtuous name be eaten?
Wang Guoan knew that Fu Pi couldn't listen, and he didn't persuade anymore, and began to plan other things for Fu Pi in his heart. The Wang family and the eldest prince are tied too tightly and have long been inseparable, and now even if Fu Pi wants to jump out of the fire pit, Wang Guoan can only follow.
Most of the time passed, and seeing that there was still no movement on the sea, Wang Guoan said: "Your Highness, it seems that you can't wait for today. ”
Fu Pi was a little disappointed, and said: "Wait another hour, if there is no movement, let Zhen Evil take the officers and soldiers down to rest first, and you and I will continue to stay and wait." ”
Not only did the gentry and the common people come to greet them, but Fu Pi also summoned thousands of defenders of the East China Sea, and at this moment these officers and soldiers were patrolling the surroundings under the leadership of Wang Zhenxi. This was to prevent Pei Bu from having pursuers behind his butt when he arrived in Xuzhou. After all, Pei Bu can take the sea route, and Nanban also has a sailor, and if he can't keep it, there will be a sailor from Nanban chasing Pei. It's very unlikely, but it's important to be prepared. It's the same day of standing, and ordinary people are just tired at most. But the soldier is clothed in armor, holds a sword and shield, has a heavy load, and standing for a long time is a kind of torture.
Fu Pi didn't see the shadow of the ship every day in the afternoon, so he asked Wang Zhenwei to retreat with the officers and soldiers to rest, and the others stood for two more hours, if they couldn't wait for them to leave.
Another half an hour passed, and many of the officials who came to greet him stood numb and drowsy.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in alarm: "Boat! Boat! The ship is coming! ”
Fu Pi's spirit was shocked, and when he looked around, he saw ten big ships gradually appearing on the sea. Fu Pi nodded and said: "That's right, it's Pei Bu's boat, Pei Shengqin mentioned in the good news, he built a total of ten ships."
Wang Guo'an shouted from the side: "Cheer up and prepare to meet the warriors of our dynasty!" ”
On the deck, Pei Shengqin looked at the land in the distance, and faintly saw that the shore seemed to be covered in red and green, colorful, I don't know if he was dazzled.
Fu Rong walked to his side and said with a smile: "It must be that the imperial court has received the good news from Mr. and sent someone here in advance to arrange it to welcome Mr. back to China." I just don't know who is here. ”
Pei Shengqin smiled bitterly: "The general can call the name of the general, don't torture the general, the general is young and ignorant, how can he be worthy of the general's name." ”
"The ancients had a word of teacher, and the words of Mr. that day were really a good way to save the country and help the world, and he deserved to be my sir." Fu Rong spoke lightly, and there was a faint murderous aura around him. He seems to be a Confucian student, but he is a great general, and after years of golden iron horses, he doesn't know how many enemy soldiers he has killed to accumulate such a strong murderous aura.
Pei Shengqin felt the murderous aura that Fu Rong had unintentionally emitted, and he only felt uncomfortable. Xin said that the trick of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots was invented by Liu Yu thirty years later, and he was just plagiarizing, and Fu Rong should really be grateful to Liu Yu, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who participated in the Battle of Weishui. After thinking about it, Fu Rong would not become a royal killer because of that question, so wouldn't he have to mourn in advance for the families of the former Yan Murong clan, the Northern Dynasty Tuoba clan, and the former Liang Zhang clan?
"I wonder what the general and the dog are talking about?" was about to land, Pei Yuanluo also led the generals to the deck in advance to wait.
"Gongzi Pei is smart and benevolent, and he will definitely be reused by His Majesty in the future, I want to congratulate General Pei on giving birth to such a good son." Fu Rong is called Mr. Pei Shengqin in front of people, but he never calls him that in front of people. He also knew that no matter how great Pei Shengqin's merits were, he lacked qualifications after all, and it was impossible for him to rise to a high position all of a sudden. In his capacity, if he is called Mr. Pei Shengqin in public, it will not be respect, but killing.
When Pei Yuan heard this, he said happily: "Hahaha, then it's the general's auspicious words!" ”
The corners of Pei Shengqin's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that his father was really immodest.
At this time, everyone gaged one after another, and the atmosphere was very good. The landing is imminent, and the strings that have been stretched in my head for more than a month can finally be loosened, and everyone is in a happy mood.
Especially the soldiers of the Tiance Army, these soldiers were originally born soldiers, but they were pulled onto the ship a few days after surrendering, and they broke into the sea with their families in tow, and their future was uncertain. At this time, seeing that he had arrived at Qintu safely, there was such a huge welcome on the shore. You said that a group of our Jin Dynasty surrendered troops, not only was not judged by the Jin Dynasty, but also suddenly became the heroes of the Great Qin Dynasty? Meaning that his identity has become a hero, the officers and soldiers of the Tiance Army have straightened their waists, especially those generals who are veterans of Yizhou.
Finally, ten large ships came to shore.
Fu Pi's identity is here, although he values Pei Shengqin, he must also pay attention to the system. So he stood still, Wang Guo'an beside him took a few steps forward, arched his hand to the deck, and said loudly: "Wang Guo'an, the captain of Great Qin Xuanwei, with His Royal Highness the Great Prince, led the officials and gentlemen of Xuzhou to greet the soldiers of Peibu's sailors!" ”
