Chapter 79: The Invention of the State

The mansion of Bao Xiurang, the pacification envoy in the southeast, is the palace of the king of Min in the past, the place is wide, and the carved dragon stone pillars on both sides of the magnificent gate have long been removed, and they have been replaced by two majestic stone lions. There was also a group of samurai standing on either side.

In less than five years, Fuzhou City has changed 5 masters, and the wars are frequent, making the people of Fuzhou miserable.

But today I don't know if the sun is coming out of the west, or if this person has eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard. A middle-aged man in a navy blue shirt walked over with a swagger.

"Stop, what are you doing? Don't you know that this is to appease the yamen? Before the middle-aged man could approach, the sergeant standing at the door shouted.

The middle-aged man was not afraid, stood up and said, "It's Lord Bao's reason below, and I'm here to visit today!" ”

The sergeant rolled his round eyes, looked down a few times, he saw that the man's clothes were not very good, but they were good lake silk materials, and he must also be a wealthy person, he said in a slightly respectful tone, and asked, "Do you have any credentials?" Lord Bao is busy with official business, so I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. ”

The middle-aged man smiled, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve before approaching, and quietly handed it to the sergeant. He took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Please hand this letter to Lord Bao, and Lord Bao will naturally understand after reading it." ”

The sergeant shook the silver in his hand and said with a smile: "You wait here, I will send this letter to Lord Bao, as for Lord Bao to see it, then I can't pack the ticket." ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "There is labor and labor." ”

A while ago, the king of Chu sent troops to Quanzhou, so that Bao Xiu made him nervous for a while, although Fuzhou City had been taken by him, but after all, the time was too short, the Chu army was strong, and in case the north fought for Fuzhou, he really had no certainty of victory. Fortunately, after Liu's surrender, the king of Chu was already satisfied, and actually went back with his soldiers and horses.

He breathed a long sigh of relief before he slowly began to think about how to straighten out the pawns and clean up people's hearts. Although Fuzhou is adjacent to Wuyue's Wenzhou, after all, there is such a grim place as Xianxialing on land, which is not suitable for the transfer of large armies, nor for the transportation of military food and salaries.

He was thinking about these questions, when he heard the housekeeper outside the door of the room and said, "My lord, there is a person outside the door of the house today, who claims to be your old friend, and also wrote a letter, saying that you will know it when you read it. You see......"

Bao Xiu let the corners of his mouth flash a sneer, there is a way is a person who has attained the Tao of the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, after he made his career, there are always some people who are not familiar with him who claim to be good friends, he smiled: "Take it in, let me see who is fighting the autumn wind again." ”

He took the letter from the butler's hand, opened it and saw that it was a blank piece of paper, but there was a seal under the white paper, and there was only the word "Baozheng" in red, he was taken aback, stood up and said to the butler: "Quick, please go to the hall in the future, I changed into official clothes, and the horse went over." ”

The Qian family is based in Hangzhou, although it is claimed to be a vassal of the Central Plains, but it is only separated from the Central Plains by Li Tang after all. The emperor is far away, and he is used to being the king and hegemon, and it is inevitable that he will have some extraordinary ideas. In 926 A.D., the first year of Tiancheng of the Later Tang Dynasty, Qian Hua once established his own era name "Baozheng", and it was not until he was killed that the Baozheng era name was abolished and the Central Plains era name was reused. But Bao Zhengxi has always been personally managed by King Wu Yue, and has always been used.

Bao Xiu made his heart suspicious, not knowing what happened in Hangzhou. He hurriedly put on his official uniform and came to the hall. Inside, a middle-aged man was standing with his hands in his hands. Bao Xiurang coughed lightly and walked in. The man bowed his hand and said, "Wu Qiong in Hangzhou, meet Lord Bao." ”

Bao Xiu was stunned, he didn't know this person, and these words seemed to indicate that this man was not an official. He was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't want to lose his courtesy, so he returned the courtesy, and after inviting Wu Qiong to sit down, he said: "Brother Wu came from afar, I don't know what to see?" ”

Wu Qiong looked left and right, just smiled slightly, and did not speak.

Bao Xiurang glanced at Wu Qiong, waved his hand, and asked the servants who were waiting on the side to retreat. Wu Qiong stood up, took out a ball of silk brocade from his arms, and unfolded it and read: "Bao Xiurang to receive the edict." ”

Bao Xiurang recognized at a glance that this bright yellow silk brocade was the king's order, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately got up and knelt on the ground and said: "Minister, Bao Xiurang to take the king's order." ”

This royal decree is not long, and it has three meanings, one is to express condolences and reward Bao Xiurang, the second is to appoint Wu Qiong as the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Fuzhou naval army, and control part of the naval army, and the third is to order Bao Xiurang to go out of the city to the port to meet the prince Qian Hongyu.

Bao Xiurang took the royal order and saw that the seal on this side was correct. And when he heard that the prince Qian Hongyu was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly prepared to send someone to inform the big and small officials in Fuzhou, and accompanied Wu Qiong to the port together. Time was in a hurry, and it was too late to send someone to clear the idle ships in the port, so I saw that there were many ships in the port, and there was indeed no official big ship of Wu Yue.

He glanced at Wu Qiong, and Wu Qiong smiled and said, "Lord Bao, who are you looking at the merchant ship station on the left side in front of you?" ”

Bao Xiurang followed Wu Qiong's gaze and saw a ten-year-old young man, wearing a white robe, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at him with a smile. Bao Xiu was shocked, and before the ship could get closer, he quickly knelt down and said, "Weichen Bao Xiu asked me to meet the king!" ”

Bao Xiurang knelt, and the hundred officials who followed him also quickly knelt down. Qian Hongliang arrived on the shore, stretched out his hand to help Bao Xiurang, and then helped the rest of the officials, and said, "Zhong Aiqing, flat down." The widow came to Fuzhou. It depends on the support of your loyal men. ”

Everyone was busy thanking, and when they stood up, their hearts suddenly jumped. Why did the king speak like that?

On the way back to the palace of the king of Fujian, Qian Hongliang pulled Bao Xiurang to the carriage he called and gave Bao Xiurang a seat, and then told Bao Xiurang the news of the Hangzhou incident in 1510.

Bao Xiu knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, the minister will immediately gather his troops and horses to return to Hangzhou and fight to the death with the traitors." ”

Qian Hongqi smiled slightly: "Bao Aiqing, your loyalty, the widow understands, but Hangzhou soldiers have a lot of food, and it is not so easy to fight." However, the widow escaped, and with this royal seal, the widow could mobilize soldiers and horses from Suzhou, Muzhou and other places to besiege Hangzhou. After all, Fuzhou is too biased, and our top priority is to immediately wave the army in Mingzhou, gather King Qin's soldiers and horses in Mingzhou, and act together. ”

"Obey the order."
