Chapter 2 Returning Home
The second volume is malfunctioning and re-uploaded.
When the sun sets, not only does it dye half of the sky red, but the river water is also half red and half dark blue. Seeing Yuezhou City from afar, the tossing and turning outside made Ma Yun's feeling of homesickness even stronger, and finally returned to his own territory, I am in charge of my territory, and there is no longer the embarrassment and helplessness in Bianjing.
The travel in the Central Plains gave Ma Yun a different feeling, and the suffering people of the Central Plains faintly made Ma Yun feel an inexplicable sense of responsibility. In the 21st century, Ma Yun is a nobody, seeing people begging along the street, Ma Yun is more than willing to help but not enough; But now it's different, Ma Yungui is the prince, and he is still very powerful. And Ma Yun faintly felt that it was a little different from the five generations in the history books, not only that Zhao Pu came to the south, but also in Xiangzhou City, the person sent by the shopkeeper to contact was actually Pan Mei! Pan Mei is a famous general in the early Song Dynasty, but she is also in the south?
Looking at the clear water and blue sky, Ma Yun's thoughts were rippling, and he couldn't help but be stupid. Suddenly, someone next to me said, "Lord Wang, are you homesick?" ”
There is no need to look back, Ma Yun knows who it is, since this Zhao Pu knows Ma Yun's identity, he no longer refuses to be a brother, and he does not have the freedom of the past between his gestures and opening his mouth. Ma Yun has also said more than once that we are still brothers, but Zhao Pu is dead or alive.
Ma Yun glanced back at Zhao Pu and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect to be there for two months, and I don't know if Yuezhou has changed?" ”
Zhao Pu smiled lightly and asked again: "Lord Wang, how do you feel when you pass by Nanping?" ”
This topic changed quickly and steeply, Ma Yun was a little surprised, and said: "The people are very poor, even more than Yanzhou?" ”
Zhao Pu looked at the blue sky from afar and asked softly: "In the troubled times, the land of Yuezhou is a state, and the north-south traffic is choked, and the place where soldiers must fight, is definitely not a place to settle down, I don't know what the prince has planned?" ”
After talking for a long time, it turned out to be this meaning. Ma Yun suddenly became playful, and wanted to try what Zhao Pu, who was "half of the Analects of the World", was capable of, so he said: "In Brother Zhao's opinion, what should we do? ”
Zhao Pu seemed to have expected Ma Yun to ask such a question, and replied slowly: "If the prince wants to show his ambition and save the people." Then just one Yuezhou is simply not enough. Speaking of this, Zhao Pu glanced at Ma Yun and continued: "And the prince supervises Yuezhou, presumably because some people in the court are squeezing out." If you want to ascend to the position of the king of Chu, you can't stay outside for a long time, if you can make some contributions, then it will be logical to return to the auxiliary government of the dynasty. Now Nanping is embarrassed, tyrannical, and the people's grievances are boiling, this is the heaven-bestowed Nanping and the prince, I don't know if the prince can be interested? ”
Ma Yun sighed and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhao, Xiao Wang Duyue, it is indeed the elder brother who is suspicious, if he takes Nanping, won't he be even more suspicious?" ”
Zhao Pu said with a smile: "How can the prince be afraid of illness and avoid medical treatment, he can attack and retreat after taking Nanping, this is where the hero can live and die." And the king of Chu is in one day, and Brother Ling will not be too presumptuous. If you can ascend to the throne of the king of Chu, the southern expedition to the Han Dynasty, the eastern Tang Dynasty, half of the country will return to the Great Chu, and it will not be difficult to wait for the gap in the north, the north and the south will compete for the front, and it will not be difficult to unify China. ”
Ma Yun admired this remark in his heart, but he didn't have the idea of mixing up with China, after all, saying and doing are two different things. Then he laughed and said: "Brother Zhao is really Wang Zuozhicai, let Xiao Wang think about it." ”
In the evening, Ma Yun finally returned to Yuezhou, and at the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, Ma Guangmeng, Shi Wende, Li Xiang, Wu Ban, Ding Sijin, Cao Yun and others were already waiting there.
Seeing Ma Yun dismount and walk slowly, these people saluted one after another. After the ceremony, Ma Yun introduced Zhao Pu to the civil and military officials in Yuezhou, Ziying and Jingniang, who avoided them from behind. After everyone said goodbye to each other, Ma Yun returned to Yuezhou Assassin's Mansion accompanied by them. At this moment, it was already completely dark, seeing that Ma Yun and the others were very tired, Shi Wende and the others glanced at each other, and got up together to say goodbye.
Because they both lived in the Thorn History Mansion, the next morning, seeing Ma Yun get up, Li Xiang and Wu Ban came over to pay a visit. When Ma Yun saw them coming, he hurriedly asked them to sit down, and asked someone to invite Zhao Pu to come, preparing to have breakfast together, and chatting about the government and military affairs of Yuezhou by the way.
After the two came in, they both knelt on the ground, Ma Yun was taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to help the two of them get up, Li Xiang knelt on the ground and said: "Please forgive the sins of the two of us first, and we dare to get up." ”
Ma Yun said: "Two gentlemen, please hurry up, Xiao Wang will forgive you for your innocence." ”
After the two got up, Li Xiang said: "A few days ago, Lord Tuoba returned to Changsha with a mission, and the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty also sent a Hanlin scholar to accompany him to the south and canonize the king of Chu. Does the prince know about this? ”
Jack Ma nodded.
Li Xiang continued: "I waited to greet me in Yuezhou and had a chat with Master Na Hanlin. The king, that person is full of talent, so the two of us made our own decisions and privately sent someone to Bianjing to prepare to bring that person's family to Yuezhou. At this time, I didn't have time to report, so I ask the prince to forgive me. ”
Ma Yun's heart was relieved, and he smiled: "It turns out that this is the case, it's not a big deal, the two gentlemen are also thinking about me, come and take a seat." ”
Wu Ban saw that Ma Yun didn't seem to care, so he said: "If the prince just wants to govern Dachu and divide one side. To put it mildly, it is enough to have us people, if the prince wants to raise troops to the north and mix with China, then this person must be used, even if he can't use it, he must kill it, and he can't leave it for others to use. ”
Seeing Wu Ban's serious face, Ma Yun secretly thought: Who could it be? The cattle of that era, the military generals were naturally the brothers I met a few days ago, and Wang Pu, Zhao Pu, Wang Pu, Fan Zhen, and Wei Renpu were the first to be recommended among the Wenchens. Wu Ban doesn't matter, Li Xiang is extremely accurate in seeing people, it seems that this Hanlin should not be a nobody.
Ma Yun was about to ask who it was, when he saw Zhao Pushi Shiran walking in. Ma Yun hurriedly beckoned Zhao Pu to sit down, and the group of four sat at a table and began to have breakfast. Ma Yun, who ate this meal, was extremely depressed, thinking that he would talk and laugh like when he was with Guo Rong and them in Yanzhou, talking and laughing, and chatting while eating. How do you know that these people are just eating and don't talk much, even Zhao Pu seems unusually quiet. Ma Yun didn't know that in ancient times, scholars paid attention to "gentlemen eating and not talking", and in addition to banquets, other dining occasions were to talk as little as possible. These three people are all scholars, and they are not familiar with each other when they meet for the first time, so they refuse to leave a bad reputation, and they are only willing to answer when Ma Yun asks, but it is also extremely simple in three words.
Ma Yundong looked at the west, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, two gentlemen, there is a great happy event, I forgot to tell you, I have married a family in Yanzhou." ”
Li and Wu were taken aback, and Wu Ban hurriedly asked, "But the concubine you married?" ”
Ma Yun said a little proudly: "It's a wife." Of course, the concubine also married one, hehe. ”
Wu Ban put down the chopsticks and sighed suddenly: "Lord Wang, this... How can you make your own decisions? ”
