Chapter 184: Who Is That Man?
The man said: "Although this slave is only the lowest dog in Prime Minister Cai's mansion, even if it is a dog, he is still a dog in Prime Minister Cai's mansion."
Wu Song said: "So what? ”
The man said: "It depends on the owner to beat the dog." Although Prime Minister Cai will not worry about such a little minion, the officials in Bianliang City will definitely help his minion to take a breath in order to curry favor with Prime Minister Cai. You're in trouble! ”
Wu Song sneered: "I'm not afraid of trouble!" Could it be that this Cai Jing can really cover the sky with one hand? ”
Seeing that Wu Song actually dared to call Cai Jing's name, the man's face changed slightly, and he said: "The world of the Great Song Dynasty is naturally the world of today's official family. However, the Prime Minister is deeply relied on by the officials, even if he doesn't remember the villain, those who tend to be inflammatory, will definitely make you have no place to stand from now on! ”
Wu Song saw that the person was talented, and he originally had a good impression, but at this time, he was unhappy in his heart, and said coldly: "Are you threatening me?" ”
The man laughed and said, "Why should I threaten you? I'm just kindly reminding you! ”
Wu Song said: "Thank you!" You said you know this Cai Jing's dog minion, could it be that you are familiar with Cai Jing? ”
The man said, "It's familiar. I'm a man who has no other skills, but I can never forget people. I once saw this servant in Prime Minister Cai's mansion, so I knew him. ”
Wu Song said: "So, are you talking for him?" ”
"Haha!" The man smiled dryly: "Such a dog minion, as filthy as an ant, how can it be worth me to help him speak." I'm just here to help! ”
Wu Song said: "Help me? How can you help me? ”
The man said: "It's also a coincidence, I was asking the Prime Minister to help me do something, so that I owe him a favor, and I happened to meet you in this matter." I can just give a letter to the Prime Minister and ask him to sell a thin noodle so that no one can pursue you again! ”
When Wu Song heard this, he looked at the person carefully, and saw that although the person was not in a hurry or slow to speak, he was indeed extraordinary, and there was a faint aura of superiority, obviously not an ordinary person. Since he was able to write a book for Cai Jing and let Cai Jing sell his face, I am afraid that he is also a big official in the court.
Wu Song asked, "Why do you want to help me?" ”
The man laughed, "Good question! A true hero will naturally not receive favors in vain. Didn't I just say the reason why I want to help you? It just so happens that I want to ask the Prime Minister for help, and I happen to use your incident as an excuse. In addition, since you chanted Master Su's words just now, and I happen to be deeply favored by him, even if you and I are destined! ”
Wu Song said: "It's that simple? ”
The man said: "There is also a big thing I want to do right now, which is the time to employ people." Seeing that you are a strong man, a little martial arts, and a little bloody, you have the heart to promote you to a place, are you willing? ”
Wu Song became more and more curious about this person, and said, "Where to go?" ”
The man said: "Tomorrow outside the Nanxun Gate, there will be a selection." You can go there and participate in the auditions, and the future is limitless! ”
Wu Song said: "What is the selection?" ”
The man said: "The forbidden army is specially selected." ”
When Wu Song heard this, he immediately said, "It turned out to be a soldier." I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in being a soldier! ”
Although Wu Song is a traveler and is not particularly familiar with history, after crossing over, he also knows that the army of the Song Dynasty is now divided into three types, namely the forbidden army, the box army, and the township army. The guards of the Son of Heaven are guarded in Beijing, prepared for conquest, and are called forbidden troops; The town soldiers of the states are divided into envoys, called the Xiang Army; Selected in the household registration or recruitment, so that they can be united and trained, thinking that they are defending, they are called village soldiers.
Although the forbidden army is known as the "Guardian of the Son of Heaven" and seems to have a very high status, it is actually just a regular army, just individual soldiers, and its social status is actually very low. The soldiers of the forbidden army implement the conscription system, and along the five generations of Zhu Liang custom, tattooed on the face, the social status is lower than the ordinary people, once enlisted, lifelong service, until the old age and illness retired. Therefore, "a good man is not a soldier".
This is also because Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, once worshiped the commander of the Zhou forbidden army after five generations, and after the Chen Qiao mutiny, he was added to the yellow robe and supported by the forbidden army as the founding emperor. Since he himself was supported by the forbidden army, he was worried that other people would also snatch him and his descendants from him and his descendants under the support of the forbidden army, so instead of repaying the favor of the forbidden army, he was more guarded, causing the status of the forbidden army to become lower and lower.
Okay, Wu Song naturally wouldn't be this kind of soldier. What's more, if history has not changed, it will not take a few years for the Jin soldiers to go south, and the Northern Song Dynasty will perish, and an important factor is that the forbidden army has no combat effectiveness at all. Joining the forbidden army is simply sending you to death. He is so decent, how could he make such a mistake?
The man naturally saw the doubts in Wu Song's heart, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this special selection of the forbidden army. This is what today's official family Hongen personally approved to recruit. However, the selected forbidden army will be trained as the elite soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty, directly defend the Beijing Division, and be selected as a general in the particularly outstanding middle school, and will have a wife and a cute son in the future. What's more, if you go there, you will naturally have my face to take care of! ”
Wu Song saw that the man was calm and relaxed, as if the specially selected forbidden army would listen to his orders, so he asked, "Haven't you asked the honorable name yet?" Can you see what kind of official you are now? ”
The man laughed and said, "You'll know this later!" As he spoke, he stood up and sighed: "When I was not a career back, I often accompanied Mr. Su to this restaurant to entertain guests, but because of my low status, I could only wait downstairs, and I never went upstairs once. So at that time, I thought that one day, I would definitely come to this restaurant to have a good time. In the past few years, whenever I have free time, I have to come here once in a while to sit. However, this kind of thing happened today, this restaurant, I'm afraid that it will change owners, and it is no longer suitable for me to come! ”
As he spoke, he stood in front of the window and looked out, quite elegant. Turning around, he took out a small fan from his arms, threw it on Wu Song's table, and said with a smile: "When you go to participate in the selection, you only need to show this fan, and naturally everything will go well!" ”
After that, he threw a silver ingot to the guy at the restaurant, and calmly went downstairs.
This man is clearly not an ordinary person. Wu Song tried his best to search in his memory. Although his memories of the time travel became more and more blurry after crossing over, he was still vaguely able to remember some of the storylines written in the books of his previous life. He carefully compared the people in the story with the person who had just left, trying to guess who this person was.
Suddenly, he remembered and said, "It's him!" It turned out that this person was him! ”
