Chapter 102: Attitude

The uprising led by Wang Ze was like a meteor, brilliant and dazzling, attracting all the attention of the whole Song Dynasty, not only because he was an army rebellion, but once successful, it could divide Hebei and make the Great Song lose the last piece of military territory that could fight against the Liao State.

But this uprising, but the end of a bit of a tiger, the regular army rebellion, and said that two days to seize the city of Beizhou as a stronghold, and contact the Hebei Zhulu garrison, straight to the Daimyo's mansion, there is a great tendency to plot to take Hebei, but such a large-scale uprising, by thousands of Xiang army, was wiped out within a month, and the other armies, although there are also believers in Maitreya Buddhism, but there are too few believers, not enough to reach the level of mutiny, and those generals get the news after the thunderous means, where can not think about their own lives, take the lead in attacking, regardless of whether you are right or wrong, as long as it has something to do with Maitreya Buddhism, kill them all, sweep them away, the most serious Weilu army, the whole army, almost one-fifth of the believers of Maitreya Buddhism, and the least Tianwei army, there are hundreds of people.

Among these people, those who wanted to resist were directly killed and pulled down, those who were as timid as rats were arrested and tortured about the whereabouts of their accomplices, and those who were honest and obedient were imprisoned, waiting for them was unknown and fearful.

Such an action was also carried out in the state capitals of Hebei Road, and the prefect and county used all the officials who could be used by his subordinates, and all townships, villages, and households were checked one by one, and it only took half a day to fill the prisons everywhere.

These things are all handed over to the officials at all levels below to do, and now the biggest boss on the ground in Hebei, Wen Yanbo, is another thing for those who are thinking.

Xu Deshan, once this name entered Wen Yanbo's mind, it could no longer linger, Wen Yanbo really wanted to know what a five-year-old child who could write his name on the battlefield looked like.

Wen Yanbo has now arrived in Beizhou City, handed over to Ming Ho to complete the work at hand, and truly became the master of the entire Hebei, and the first thing Wen Yanbo has to do is not to ask about the confrontation between the two armies, nor to interrogate the rebel prisoners, let alone care about the livelihood of the people in Beizhou, these things are routine, and whoever does it is the same, and Wen Yanbo's order is to ask Ming Ho to find Xu Deshan, and Wen Yanbo wants to meet this five-year-old prodigy.

At this moment, Ming Hao's mood was extremely depressed, he was a counterinsurgency boss, after seeing Wen Yanbo, Wen Yanbo looked like he loved to ignore it, but when Xu Deshan was mentioned, Wen Yanbo's eyes lit up, sure enough, who doesn't like young and promising children, and he really didn't look at it in the eyes of other people's bosses.

Thinking about it, Jia Changchao had to respect Wen Yanbo for three points, and Ming Hao didn't dare to provoke Wen Yanbo, so he obediently found Xu Deshan and conveyed Wen Yanbo's meaning to Xu Deshan, telling Xu Deshan to quickly get dressed and report to Wen Yanbo.

Xu Deshan is studying his compound bow these days, through the practice of high-intensity continuous use in the past few days, there are really a lot of shortcomings, Xu Deshan has nothing to do, so he is designing and changing the structure of the compound bow to achieve a more perfect effect.

I heard that Wen Yanbo is coming, Xu Deshan's mood is very complicated, for Wen Yanbo, no matter from which aspect, Xu Deshan has heard of it, the most classic is the story of Wen Yanbo's six-year-old water float, such wisdom is simply a fight with Sima Guang, another headache for Xu Deshan, who smashed the cylinder, or it is not good to say that people are too smart, even if they are like-minded, two smart people will have disputes together, not to mention Xu Deshan's Tao, and Wen Yanbo's Tao, there is a gap like the gap between heaven and earth.

How to face a top boss like Wen Yanbo, such a question, Xu Deshan had thought about it before, but he hadn't thought about it carefully, but it seemed that suddenly, Wen Yanbo appeared in front of Xu Deshan, which caught Xu Deshan off guard and didn't know what to do.

Xu Deshan felt a lot of pressure, this kind of pressure is unprecedented, whether it was facing Wang Quanzao, Liu Xian or Jia Changchao when he was young, Xu Deshan did not regard them as his opponents at all, Xu Deshan felt that he should be able to be crowned the king and worship the prime minister, and his opponent should be Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Han Qi, Fubi and other celebrities through the ages, even Jia Changchao is slightly inferior in Xu Deshan's eyes, and now that the opponent is coming, Xu Deshan's mood does not know whether to be excited or nervous, or a little scared.

It is normal for Xu Deshan to be afraid, after all, Xu Deshan is only five years old now, and his official position is only Jia Changchao's casual secretary, and Wen Yanbo, who has been an official for decades, is now in the prime of life and is at the peak of his life.

The communication between people is always linked to the strength of both sides, even if it is a young classmate, when they grow up, they will naturally get closer to each other with the same status, and if the status is very different, there will naturally be no contact, and Xu Deshan wants to be on an equal footing with Wen Yanbo, at least he must be able to come up with a way to hold Wen Yanbo, but unfortunately, Wen Yanbo is not a pragmatic gentleman like Jia Changchao, in Wen Yanbo's thoughts, in addition to the study of sages, it is his own interests, in addition, If anyone can threaten Wen Yanbo's status, Wen Yanbo will do whatever it takes to get rid of him, even if he misleads the country and the people.

Xu Deshan was entangled in his heart, he did it for a long time, but he didn't move, Ming Ho saw Xu Deshan's face was restrained, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan, I am."

I thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that there were people you were afraid of, why, it turned out that you only knew that you were in the nest, bullying Lord Jia and I didn't care about you as a child, but now that there are outsiders, you can't move with fear. ”

Xu Deshan heard Ming Ho laughing at himself, and he didn't like to deal with him, he was still thinking in his heart, what should I do, Wen Yanbo found his head, and it would definitely not work if he didn't go, in that case, Wen Yanbo would beat himself to death with a stick, and if he went, what kind of attitude should he face Wen Yanbo, is he as strong as before, declaring his sovereignty, or acting modest, going with the flow, or acting cowardly and hiding his edge......

Now Xu Deshan's decision is a decision that can determine Xu Deshan's fate, no matter what kind of performance, there are good and bad, and once Wen Yanbo has left the first impression, it is extremely difficult to change it, Xu Deshan has to choose very much, thinking about the future.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Deshan knew that even if he delayed it again, he would not be able to escape this catastrophe, and said to Ming Hao, "Lord Ming, face to face Lord Wen, I still have to change my clothes, and ask Lord Ming to wait outside for a while." ”

Ming Ho saw that Xu Deshan was wearing a casual clothes, and it was really not suitable to meet Wen Yanbo for the first time, so he smiled and said, "Okay, you can change your clothes, hurry up, Lord Wen is still waiting." ”

After Ming Ho finished speaking, he went out and waited, and after waiting for a while, Xu Deshan opened the door and came out, but Ming Ho glanced at Xu Deshan, and almost crooked his nose without anger.

Ming Ho said angrily, "Xu Deshan, what do you mean by this!" ”

Xu Deshan smiled, "I'm not interesting, I'm just a child, what does it matter if I wear this dress." ”

Xu Deshan said, but his eyes glanced at Ming Ho meaningfully, Ming Ho understood the meaning in Xu Deshan's eyes at that time, and then immediately shut up, and shouted wildly in his heart, "Damn, what kind of monster is this Xu Deshan, how old is this, I know what it means to hide clumsy, no wonder people can make Lord Wen so important at such a young age, and he can only be blinded by Lord Wen." ”

However, even if Ming Ho saw through Xu Deshan's intentions, Ming Ho still chose to remain silent, because after the counterinsurgency war, especially after Wen Yanbo came, Jia Changchao, Ming Hao, Xu Deshan, and Hebei officials have faintly formed a faction, and their interests are the same.

When everyone thinks that you are a gang, whether you want to or not, you are already a faction, even if you look at one of them very unpleasantly, but you can only help each other in the same boat, and you can no longer escape this mark.

Ming Ho and Xu Deshan, in fact, there is no conflict of interest, the two are dozens of years apart, completely two generations, after this battle, Ming Ho's promotion to the Privy Council is already a sure thing, and Xu Deshan, at the age of five, it is impossible to ask him to be the prime minister, at most, that is, to make an exception to give Xu Deshan a four-five grade official position, and when Xu Deshan grows up, step by step, even if he is promoted to the position of prime minister in ten years, Ming Ho at that time is already about to take a back seat.

Therefore, Ming Ho is willing to make a good relationship with Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan has his own ideas, no matter what he does, he has his own reason, so at this time, Ming Ho does not want to interfere too much with Xu Deshan, as for Xu Deshan's future path, it can only depend on how Xu Deshan grasps it.

In this way, Xu Deshan, who was dressed as a child, followed Ming Ho to Wen Yanbo's room, Ming Ho had not knocked on the door, Xu Deshan shouted directly outside, "Lord Wen, I heard that you are looking for me?" ”

Ming Ho was startled when he heard it, but Xu Deshan didn't care, pushed the door in, "bang", pushed the door to a full fit, Xu Deshan stepped in, and quietly gave Ming Ho a reassuring look, Ming Ho was clear, no longer followed, and retreated.

Xu Deshan is jealous of Xu Deshan in his heart, and Wen Yanbo is not afraid of Xu Deshan, as the saying goes, it is better to bully the pulsatilla, not to bully the poor youth, although Wen Yanbo is not a pulsatilla, but Xu Deshan is not a poor teenager, I think Wen Yanbo was born in a famous family, floated at the age of six, and became famous, but he studied hard for more than ten years, and only at the age of twenty did he become an official and enter the workplace.

Wen Yanbo is smart and has more means, but even so, at the age of twenty, he has more family care, so he has to go out to the county to start, and he has just been transferred to the capital in a few years and started his own career path.

Wen Yanbo thought that his life experience was already quite good, and his connivance was not unprecedented, but compared to contemporary officials, he was also one of the best, and this sense of superiority has always been with Wen Yanbo.

However, all of a sudden, I don't know where this Xu Deshan came out, but it gave Wen Yanbo's sense of superiority a slap in the face, younger than his age, younger than his record, more brilliant than his achievements, Wen Yanbo felt threatened, so Wen Yanbo was also thinking about how he should treat this Xu Deshan, how to meet his own interests.

It's in Wen Yanbo

While pondering, Xu Deshan just broke in, looking unscrupulous, and did not salute Wen Yanbo, but directly found a seat and sat on it, and Wen Yanbo, who was watching, frowned.

Wen Yanbo's cultivation was vividly expressed at this time, Wen Yanbo did not show any dissatisfaction between his eyebrows, but became amiable, just like a grandfather to his grandson, and took the lead in greeting Xu Deshan, "You are Xu Deshan?" ”

Xu Deshan nodded and said, "It's me." ”

Wen Yanbo asked, "Then do you know who I am?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "I know, your name is Wen Yanbo, and you were sent by the emperor." ”

Wen Yanbo said, "Since you know that I was sent by the emperor, why didn't you salute me after seeing me?" ”

Xu Deshan didn't care and said, "What if you are sent by the emperor, I don't bow when I see Lord Jia, can you be even bigger than Lord Jia?" ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "In terms of age, Master Jia is older than me, but when it comes to official positions, I am a governor of political affairs, and the second minister, Lord Jia is just a pacification envoy on Hebei Road, which is almost two or three levels behind." ”

Xu Deshan was puzzled: "Then who is the eldest of you two?" ”

Wen Yanbo said, "Let's put it another way, I am sent by the emperor, Qincha, and I can be arbitrary about many matters in Hebei Road, even if it is Lord Jia, if I find out something wrong, as long as I report to the emperor with a note, Lord Jia will be equally guilty." ”

Xu Deshan suddenly grew his mouth, hurriedly jumped off the chair, respectfully saluted Wen Yanbo, lowered his head and lowered his hands, stood aside, and stopped talking.

Wen Yanbo looked at it, disdainful in his heart, it turned out that this Xu Deshan was just a child, he didn't even understand who was the official between himself and Jia Changchao, it turned out that he felt that Jia Changchao was a big backer and could be unscrupulous, but now that he was older than Jia Changchao, he was immediately afraid, looking at him like that, I am afraid that he was already frightened in his heart.

Wen Yanbo was cautious by nature, but he would not let Xu Deshan go after asking such two sentences, and continued to say, "Xu Deshan don't have to be afraid, you are a great hero of my Song army, I heard that you have repeatedly made miraculous strategies in the army, and you have made the first great contribution to pacifying Beizhou, I should thank you." ”

Xu Deshan suddenly opened his eyebrows and smiled, "Is that also a credit for me, give me an official position." ”

Wen Yanbo said, "I heard that you are already a staff member under Lord Jia's account, Shi Lang, this time according to the ranking in the merit book, you are not even promoted to three levels, if you can stay in the capital, you may not be able to accompany the king." ”

Xu Deshan smiled even brighter, but Wen Yanbo changed his painting style and asked, "Meritorious service, it is natural, Xu Langjun is so witty, naturally he should do his best for the country, although the rebels have been defeated, but there are still some things to decide, I first came to Hebei, many things are still unclear, I see Xu Langjun's talent, so I asked Xu Langjun how it is?" ”

When Xu Deshan heard this, he looked frightened, and waved his hand again and again, "The kid is not talented, where is there any knowledge, don't dare to disturb Master Wen's train of thought." ”

Wen Yanbo didn't care what Xu Deshan said, he said directly, "Xu Langjun doesn't have to be too humble, now that our army occupies Beizhou City, defeats the rebels, and has more than 10,000 prisoners, plus the remnants of Maitreya Buddhism captured by the rest of the army, there are 20,000 people, how do you think these prisoners will fall?" ”

Xu Deshan bowed his head and said silently, Wen Yanbo said, "Xu Langjun doesn't need to be timid, that killing the enemy is a merit, and this government affairs is also a merit, if Xu Langjun can give me advice at this time, I will say a few good words in front of the emperor, Xu Langjun is afraid that he will go straight to the Chinese book." ”

Xu Deshan's expression became very exciting, greedy and afraid, hesitant and reluctant, and finally peeked at Wen Yanbo's smiling expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Since they are rebels, just kill them all." ”

Wen Yanbo said, "But although these rebels rebelled, they were also confused by the king, and 20,000 people is not a small number, how can you say that you can kill and kill, and kill people as ghosts, you are not afraid that these 20,000 ghosts will come to you in the middle of the night to trouble?" ”

Xu Deshan was so frightened that he took two steps back, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then don't kill, don't kill, let it go." ”

Wen Yanbo said, "The rebels are deeply bewitched, if they are released, they lurk among the people, if they rebel again, how can they be good?" ”

Xu Deshan was speechless and stammered, "This ......"

Wen Yanbo suddenly slapped the case heavily, shouted, and shouted, "Xu Deshan, you are known for being resourceful and breaking the rebels, but why I asked you such a simple matter, but you couldn't answer, could it be that the credit book remembers that someone bent the law for personal gain, and it is all fake!" ”

Xu Deshan hurriedly said, "It's really, it's true, it's not fake, it's not fake." ”

Wen Yanbo sneered: "Now that I am a messenger to investigate the rebellion, if I want to find out what is wrong with it, don't say any credit, even your life may not be saved!" ”

Xu Deshan was so frightened that he sat on the ground and said in a panic, "There is no cat, there is no cat, but I gave the plan to Master Ming." ”

Wen Yanbo sneered, "Since it's all from you, but why don't you know anything now, there must be a reason for it, if you recruit from the truth, I will let you go, if you hide the truth, I will ask you to see my methods!" ”
