Chapter 462: The Battle of Hangzhou (Part II)
In the city of Hangzhou, although Mingjiao has 20,000 troops and horses, but scattered everywhere, Liu Yun only mobilized thousands of people to block the enemy in a hurry, but since ancient times, whether it can fight first depends on the hearts of the people, such as people's hearts and minds, although there are few soldiers, but Hangzhou is now the people's hearts do not want to fight, the city is broken, what else is there to fight? If it was Guangming Ding at this time, I am afraid that these 20,000 people would still have the idea of martyrdom, but Hangzhou is really just a larger stronghold for Mingjiao.
Liu Yun saw that Fang Tianding was surrounded and retreated, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is the prince okay?" ”
Fang Tianding's face was as pale as gold paper, he covered his chest and said, "I was slashed by a thief, it's no big deal, General Liu will wait for me to bandage it, and then I can fight again!" ”
Where did Liu Yun dare to let this prince continue to be trapped, shook his head and said, "The prince must not be reckless, the Song army is elite, our army is unstoppable, if you fight to the death, I am afraid that the Holy Sect will be destroyed in one city." ”
Fang Tianding was still reluctant to say, "The Holy Father will not agree." ”
At this time, there was a burst of cannons, Fang Tianding and the others looked up and saw that a few shells hit the city wall and fell into the city, smashing several attics out of big holes.
"Kill!!" Yuan Weiyi led his troops to kill a Mingjiao army that came to block at this time, and saw a group of armor soldiers surrounding Liu Yun and Fang Tianding, knowing that it was the main general of the Ming Sect, he hurriedly summoned archers to shoot, dozens of arrows and feathers were thrown at Liu Yun and others, Liu Yun and others hurriedly resisted, Fang Tianding recognized the current situation and understood that the 20,000 old and weak in Hangzhou City were not the opponents of the Song army at all, and if they really had to fight hard, I am afraid that the only result would be the martyrdom of Fang La and others.
"Withdraw... Remove!! ”
Fang Tianding spoke, and Liu Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, he continued to mobilize the sergeants to break the queen, and escorted Fang Tianding back to the Holy Prince's Mansion.
In the Holy Father's Mansion, Fang La was already equipped with swords and armor, and when he saw Fang Tianding being helped back, he knew that he couldn't do anything, and said with a strong smile to the left and right, "The foundation of my religion is in Guangmingding, not Hangzhou, return this place to the Zhao family first, and then try to restore it in the future." ”
Fang La withdrew from Hangzhou City with officials large and small under the escort of thousands of Mingjiao soldiers,
Zhu Wu saw that Fang La was defeated and retreated, although it was a pity that he did not capture the king in a battle, but he did not chase after him, but asked the soldiers to seize the inventory and appease the people.
After counting, Zhu Wu was surprised to find that more than 700,000 stones of grain and grass had been hoarded in Hangzhou City, enough for 300,000 troops to eat for four or five months, and these grains and grasses should be prepared to support the battlefields of Suzhou and Jiaxing.
Zhu Wu was excited, but also secretly worried, it is not easy to transport so many materials, while informing Wu Xuan to speed up the transportation, while mobilizing the maritime merchants in Hangzhou to help, but in this way for two days, there are still most of the materials hoarded in Hangzhou can not be transported, Zhu Wu is helpless, he does not dare to stay in Hangzhou for a long time, simply distribute to the people, and then take away all the thousands of craftsmen collected by Fang La in Hangzhou.
Speaking of Fang La, he didn't dare to stay in the field for a long time after losing Hangzhou, so he first went to Fuchun County to live temporarily, and sent someone to order Deng Yuanjue to return to Hangzhou.
Deng Yuanjue had just arrived in Jiaxing, and when he saw Fang Qifo and Fang Jie, he asked, "I have seen the three kings, and I will come to help by the order of the Holy Father, I don't know what is so powerful about this Jiaxing, the three kings have been fighting for a long time." ”
Fang Qifo blushed a little as soon as he said this, and said, "I didn't expect this Song Zhaonian to be different from other officials, extremely tough, he summoned the four villagers to enter the city to guard as early as when I didn't enter Hangzhou, and built a coffin to hang on the city tower, so that the ten thousand people in the city were united, so it couldn't be attacked for a long time." ”
Deng Yuanjue couldn't help but wonder when he heard it: "There is such a character? Is there a brave man in the city? ”
Fang Jie said, "There is only one commander Wang Ziwu in the city, if he is a fighting general, I can kill him in three ways, but I can win the hearts of the people, and I have been driven down three times in the city." ”
Mingjiao people are familiar with the fight in the rivers and lakes, and they are not suitable for the battle array, and it is good to deal with the Xiang army or the ten knots in the field, but as soon as they face the martial arts background, the prince Wu who dares to fight begins to show his timidity, in fact, it is also the same in Hangzhou, although Zhu Wu has few soldiers, but after the battle, the battle loss is less than 500 people, but more than 3,000 people in Mingjiao have been killed.
Fang Qifo led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Jiaxing, and has lost more than 10,000 people in battle so far, but he can't even see the shadow of breaking the city.
Deng Yuanjue thought for a while and said, "When the poor monk walked the rivers and lakes, he heard a sentence called Jiahe Yiyu, and Jianghuai was healthy; Jiahe apologized, Jianghuai was thrifty, saying that Jiaxing is rich, rich is more literate, so there are many official families here, I think I know that I teach it, so I fight to the death. ”
In fact, Deng Yuanjue did not approve of Fang La's practice of killing officials, Buddhism, and literati, he himself was originally a Buddhist person, and he only joined the Mingjiao because he was uneven and violated the killing precepts.
But then again, the Mingjiao uprising originally had some religious connotations, and naturally it could not tolerate pagans like Confucianism or Buddhism.
Deng Yuanjue and others discussed for a while, and felt that they could only attack, so they continued to attack after resting for a day, Deng Yuanjue and Fang Jue respectively led a large army to attack the city from the southwest side, and the soldiers were divided into five divisions, taking turns to attack the city, day and night.
After two days of attacking, Fang La's letter arrived.
Song Zhaonian in the city was already bloodshot and crumbling because of the two days and nights of fighting at this time, he had been sitting on the city tower in order to boost morale, and then suddenly saw the retreat of the Ming Sect, and couldn't help asking, "Have I hallucinated?" Do thieves retreat? ”
Both left and right were happy and said, "My lord, but it is the thief who has withdrawn." ”
Elder Song Zhao exhaled, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in his position.
In the Mingjiao military camp, Fang Qifo and the others had gloomy faces.
"I didn't expect the soldiers and horses of Liangshan to be so sinister, they actually attacked Hangzhou with a sailor, and Hangzhou fell, and we had no way back, what should we do?" Fang Qifo asked.
Deng Yuanjue said, "Liangshan is far away, and there are not many soldiers and horses, but the problem of grain and grass is the key, and I have a plan for the city lock-up law." ”
"Master, please speak." Fang Jie asked curiously.
Deng Yuanjue said, "I have traveled to the northwest, the western thieves are good at field warfare, but not good at attacking the city, when they are blocked by the fortified city, they will dig roads, turn the attack to defense, lock the city with partial divisions, and plunder the main force everywhere.
In addition to Jiaxing, Xiuzhou also has three counties of Haiyan, Huating and Chongde, which are rich in grain and grass, so why not attack them? ”
"Good!" Fang Qi Buddha said happily.
At the moment, Fang Qifo's soldiers were divided into five routes, he led his troops to lock the city, Deng Yuanjue led an army of 15,000 to aid Hangzhou, Fang Jie and the other five generals were divided into three ways to take Haiyan, Huating, Chongde three places, which five generals, respectively, Zhang Wei, Xu Fang, Guo Shiguang, Wu Fu, Gou Zheng five people, all have courage.
When Deng Yuanjue returned to Hangzhou, he found that Hangzhou was already an empty city, and the grain, grass and money were empty.
On the other side of Xuanzhou, although Jiang De deliberately slowed down, he also broke through Xuanzhou.
After taking Xuanzhou, Jiang De no longer advanced, but stationed troops and horses to Wuhu, close to the river, ready to evacuate at any time.

"Official, good news, good news!" Wang Hao happily ran into a room in Qionglou, in the room, Master Li was playing repertoire with several people, Zhao Ji sat on the stool and clapped his hands, hearing the noise outside, Master Li got up and prepared to retreat and said, "Zhao Guanren has official business, and Master Li has retreated." ”
Zhao Ji heard that Wang Hao said that it was good news, and wanted to use the good news to show Master Li his Mingjun style, so he stepped forward and held Master Li's hand and said, "Miss Shi Shi is not an outsider, it should be an interesting story to listen to together." ”
Master Li took out his hand and nodded to the people behind him, and the others got up and retreated, Wang Hao walked in at this time, and when he saw the musician retreating, he couldn't help but smile at Zhao Jimei and said, "I've seen the official family, the teacher's girl, the official family, Tian Hu has been captured." ”
Zhao Ji took over the folds, it turned out that on the ninth day of July in the second year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan led the Western Army to break through Tian Hu's last city of Weisheng, Tian Hu was captured by Han Shizhong, a young general of the Western Army, and his subordinates were killed or captured, but Sun An and Shan Shiqi took hundreds of people out of the encirclement, fled to the mountains and disappeared, and are continuing to pursue.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said, "A few days ago, I received a good report from the Marquis of Pingyin, and today I received a good report from Mrs. Tong, it seems that it will not be long before the world can be peaceful again." ”
Wang Hao bowed to Zhao Ji and said, "This is thanks to the kindness of the officials, the flower stone, the Fangtian, and the rewards and punishments, which made the three armies die and win this great victory." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but miss the flowers and stones in the south of the Yangtze River.
It turned out that since Fang La's uprising and Cai Jing's dismissal, many officials have written to ask for the removal of Hua Shigang, thinking that Hua Shigang caused turmoil in Jiangnan, Zhao Ji had no choice but to agree, and then Zhao Ji issued an edict to dismiss Fang Tian.
But in the final analysis, aren't these messy things still made by Zhao Ji himself, although others say that the official family is wise, but Zhao Ji knows it in his heart, so he can't be happy.
"Official, now there is only one thief left in Fang La, the Privy Council has ordered the western army to go south, the Marquis of Pingyin to advance eastward, under the encirclement and suppression on three sides, I want to come to Fang La's rebellion to be pacified in two or three months." Wang Hao smiled and said, "Today, there is the lord of Zhenla coming to the court, and it is really a double happiness." ”
Zhao Ji is familiar with a hundred books, and he also knows where Zhenla is, and sighs, "Zhenla is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and the sincerity can be seen in the court. ”
After speaking, Zhao Ji turned back to Master Li and smiled, "I want to feast on the messenger of Zhenla, I don't know if the master girl is willing to perform?" ”
Master Li nodded and said, "The officials have orders, and the teachers should obey their orders." ”
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction, and Wang Hao said again, "Official, there is another person from the north." ”
Zhao Ji squinted his eyes, and the north was naturally talking about the Jin Kingdom, and at this time, the two sides of Song and Jin were in frequent contact, constantly exchanging information and conditions, and preparing to jointly attack Liao.
"Be careful not to let them know the reality of our country." Zhao Ji is a face-saving person, he doesn't want the people of Jin Guo to know that smoke is rising inside, so he said so.
Wang Hao nodded to show that he understood, and went down to make arrangements.
- Wuhu
"Wow, this Hangzhou is really a place of ointment, Zhu Wu has 200,000 yuan of grain and grass, and tens of millions of money, and Manager Pan's face can finally look better." Jiang De looked at the battle report, clapped his hands and smiled.
Although Liangshan won the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, they have all gone through wars and have not had much tax revenue, so the financial statements of the past two years are very unsightly.
"Master Hou, now that Tian Hu is dead, the Western Army is about to go south, and our army should prepare as soon as possible." Li Zhu arched his hand and said, "The student thought about it again and again, and felt that Fang La couldn't be defeated too quickly. ”
Jiang De asked with some interest, "What do you say?" ”
Li Zhu continued, "We thought that Natian Tiger could hold out for a month or two, so we were ready to use this month or two to enter Jiangnan, first, to get troops, second, to get money and food, and third, to let the people in Jiangnan know the benevolence and righteousness of our army, but now the Western Army will go south at any time, and when the time comes, the Western Army will unite with Gao Yu and our army to start a war, and our army will be in danger."
Rather than this, it is better to secretly form a party with Fangla, divide Shandong, and take Goryeo and Wadao as the foundation, so that you can become a hegemon and retreat into a prince. ”
Jiang De sometimes really wanted to ask Li Zhu if he had any hatred for taking his wife and killing his father with Zhao Ji, and there was hardly a day when he didn't incite Jiang De to hurry up and rebel.
"What Master Li said makes sense, Master Hou, let's go back to Liangshan later." Zuo Mou also persuaded.
Cui Yizhi got up and said, "We want to return to Liangshan, what should we do with Huaixi Chudi?" ”
Jiang De squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Jiangnan can't go, if you go to Jiangnan now, you will inevitably be commanded by Tong Guan and others to be consumed by Fang La, and in the end, you may be killed in Jiangnan."
The order was sent to the water division, ready to evacuate, as for Huaixi, the structure of various places has been erected, since ancient times, the royal power does not go to the countryside, what we want is the countryside, as for the city, it will be given to the court first! ”
"Duke Ming, if the court comes to retaliate, what should we do?" Cui Yizhi asked again.
Jiang De smiled and said, "I have received the news, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom is here again, our official family is now Yan Yun in their hearts, and they will not easily start a war with our army."
But just in case, I will send someone to bribe Wang Hao and the others, those people"
Jiang De has made a decision, and the rest of the people don't say anything anymore, so they start to act, the land of Huaixi has been placed by Jiang De, and there is also a person in charge of the overall situation, Jiang De left Li Zhu, Liu Yijing, and Shangguanyi, headed by Li Zhu, hidden in the countryside, not against the government, only control the people, and wait for the wind and rain to rise in the future, and then do other things.
- Huzhou
Song Jiang looked at the Fang La army that kept rushing up, panting and holding his sword, this is already the eighteenth day of Shibao's siege, Shibao besieged on several sides, and threw the banner lost by Gao Yu's defeat to the city wall, which made the army's heart drop greatly, if it weren't for the fact that most of these people were Song Jiang's brothers who pulled out from Weishan, I am afraid that the city would be lost on the second day, even so, Song Jiang had already lost Zheng Tianshou, Kong Liang, and Yang Lin in these eighteen days, and the soldiers and horses were also lost more than fifty percent, if they continued to fight like this, Song Jiang didn't know how long he could support it.
"Ming Gong, I just walked around, the sergeants are already overtired, the captain has not been here for a long time, we should think of retreating." Zhu Yan walked over and sighed to Song Jiang.
"How do I get back?" Song Jiang Hammer Wall sighed, "Taiwei was defeated by thieves, for the sake of today's plan, I can only stay here and wait for the imperial army to come to help." ”
"Brother! Brother Gongming! ”
A person hurriedly ran over, only to see that this person was short, it was the bantam tiger Wang Ying.
"Brother, the thief army has withdrawn!"
"What?" Song Jiang looked out in disbelief, and sure enough, he saw that Fang Lajun was packing up his ordnance and retreated to the south in turn.
"Why did the thieves retreat? But trickery? Song Jiang swallowed his saliva and asked.
Zhu Yan carefully observed, "If it is not a trick, if it is a trick, when it is a haste to retreat, not to mention that our army only needs to sit in the city, and it is not easy to fight and be greedy." ”
Song Jiang thought about it, no matter what strategy you have, if I don't go out of the city, what can you do with me.
After waiting for a day, Song Jiang knew that Suzhou had changed, Tong Guan's Western Army took Tianhu and went down the river, and at this time had arrived in Yangzhou, Shi Bao was shocked when he learned about it, and immediately withdrew to prepare to return to Hangzhou to defend.
- Half a month later, Bianliang
This day is the Great Dynasty, Zhao Ji yawned and sat on the dragon chair, and Liang Shicheng next to him shouted, "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat." ”
One person came out and said, "Weichen has something to play, and now he receives the joint battle report of Tong Taiwei and Gao Taiwei, and another Pingyin Hou war report is submitted." ”
Zhao Ji looked at it, it was Deng Xunwu of the Privy Council, nodded and asked, "But it's good news?" ”
Deng Xunwu bowed and said, "But it is good news, Gao Taiwei's subordinate Song Jiang garrisoned Huzhou on the 18th, more than 20,000 thieves, Tong Taiwei sent troops to Xiuzhou, its vanguard Wang Yu defeated the enemy with cavalry, five battles and five victories, and killed 10,000 thieves, at this time the nearly 300,000 troops of the two Taiwei have surrounded Hangzhou, and the thieves are only in the evening. ”
"Color!" The ministers praised together.
Deng Xunwu and the others cheered, and said, "In addition, the captain said in the book, the reason why the thief can succeed is that the crime lies in Huashi, and there are many corrupt officials in Huashi, so in the name of tribute, it is tamed and harassed, please stop the worship bureau!" ”
"The world has been bitter for a long time, please ask the official family to strike the worship bureau!"
"Don't go to maladministration, calm the chaos today, and rise tomorrow!"
Many officials felt that this was an opportunity and came out to worship one after another.
Zhao Ji hesitated, looked around, and saw that no one spoke for him, so he waved his hand a little unwillingly, "That's it, let's issue an edict to dismiss the worship bureau first." ”
"My Emperor is wise!" Everyone said in unison.
"What about the Marquis of Pingyin?" Zhao Ji took a breath and asked again.
Deng Xunwu continued: "The Marquis of Pingyin ordered the partial division to take the waterway and broke through Hangzhou on July 12, but because the reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, Hangzhou was abandoned on the 15th, and on the 24th, he received an urgent report from Goryeo, and some Liao people went to Goryeo to bewitch the nobles to cause trouble, and at this time they had already raised troops back to Goryeo to quell the rebellion. ”
"Official, without the order of the Privy Council, the Marquis of Pingyin returned to the teacher without authorization, this crime is a great rebellion! Immediately order him to return to Beijing for trial! "An imperial historian came out and opened the cannon.
"Your Majesty, it's not the first time that the Marquis of Pingyin has been arrogant, he didn't obey the general's order, and after restoring Hangzhou, he abandoned it without authorization, and he should be severely punished!"
"Official, this move of the Marquis of Pingyin was done by the late Tang Dynasty, and troops should be sent to attack it!" This is a more radical statement.
For a time, more than a dozen officials came out to say that they would punish Jiang De, Zhao Ji was also angry, he felt that Jiang De was already benevolent and righteous, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, in addition to the generals such as the Zhi family, where are there courtiers who can support the army, not to mention that the Zhe family is now listening to the tune and listening to the announcement.
Although Zhao Ji was confused in military affairs, he was very politically sensitive, and he already felt that Liang Shanjun's tail was too big to fall.
Zhao Ji looked at Wang Huang, the Song Dynasty was the Son of Heaven and the scholars shared the world, Zhao Ji hoped that Wang Huang and other scholars could express their positions, as for the imperial history just now... Just listen to it, whether you should fight or not, whether you can fight or not, it has never been what the imperial history says.
Wang Hao thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, although there is something inappropriate in the withdrawal of the Marquis of Pingyin this time, but Weichen suggests that the order is reprimanded for the top, and the big move is for the bottom, and the most important thing for me today is to restore Yanyun!"
Goryeo is far overseas, on the side of the Jin Kingdom, if our dynasty attacks the Marquis of Pingyin, the Jin country's intentions for our dynasty will also be confused, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm down in three or five years, how can our dynasty restore Yanyun at that time? ”
Wang Hao's words made Zhao Ji nod, things matter, restoring Yan Yun is the first priority today, and other things can be put aside unless they are pulling the flag and rebelling.
Zhao Ji praised, "Wang Xianggong is the old city seeking the country, so the Privy Council ordered to reprimand the Marquis of Pingyin, and the Marquis of Pingyin pacified the rebellion of Wang Qing and rewarded a thousand taels of silver." ”
All the ministers shouted long live Shengming, and when the dynasty was dispersed, Wang Hao walked on the road, and Liang Shicheng ran and said, "Wang Xianggong, the official family said, I will go to your place to play later." ”
Wang Huangxi said, "Thank you Liang Neiguan, the next official will go back to prepare." ”
Liang Shicheng said hehehe, "You are a minister, how can you be called a lower official?" ”
Wang Hao said with a flattering smile, "The internal official is the internal minister, just like half an official family, how can he not be a lower official?" ”
"Ouch! Don't talk nonsense! Liang Shicheng was so amused that he tapped Wang Hao and said, "In the past few days, the official family has been talking about the new opera in Qionglou, you can serve dim sum yourself, where will I go to the official house." ”
"Thank you for your advice!" After Wang Hao finished speaking, he whispered, "Today, the captain went to the book to call the worship bureau, but it is an opportunity, what do you think?" ”
Where there are people, there is competition, this is the case in the officialdom, and it is also the case among the eunuchs, so there are three eunuchs around Zhao Ji who are the most useful, one is Yang Jian, one is Liang Shicheng, the other is Tong Guan, Yang Jian is in charge, Tong Guan is outside, Liang Shicheng is serving by Zhao Ji's side, which is also stable, but at this time, Yang Jian's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he has reached the point where he cannot go to court, and Liang Shicheng has a mind.
After Yang Jian's death, the position of the head of the inner court was vacant, and the next person to take the position was either Tong Guan's person or his Liang Shicheng's person, in order to make his own people take the position, Liang Shicheng must find a way to fight Tong Guan.
"Congratulations to the Governor!" After Wang Hao saluted Liang Shicheng, he whispered, "Xiaguan understands. ”
When he returned home, Wang Hao first found the housekeeper and asked, "Is Brother Yan still there?" ”
The housekeeper smiled bitterly, "Yes, not only here, but it's great, he's in the backyard with the servants, and those girls are about to go crazy with him." ”
Wang Hao couldn't help but come to the backyard curiously, and found that not only the servants, but even his wives and concubines, and daughters were all around him to watch him perform, and the eyes... How does it feel like seeing a wolf like meat?
"Ahem!" Wang Hao coughed and walked in, everyone saw Wang Hao coming back, and hurriedly saluted, Yan Qing parted the flute to her waist, and arched her hand and said, "I've seen Wang Xianggong." ”
"Brother Yan, you and I go to the study." Wang Hao walked in front with his hands behind his back, and Yan Qing tilted his head at the girls and followed, causing another burst of laughter.
When he came to the study, Wang Hao closed the door and said angrily, "Little Brother Yan really deserves to be the first clever person in Qionglou, I think if you come a little later, you can take more gifts than you bring." ”
Yan Qing hurriedly confessed, "Wang Xianggong forgives the sin, Xiaoyi Meng Lang." ”
Wang Hao touched his beard, he didn't think about anything, so he said, "Okay, the matter of the Marquis of Pingyin has been decided, and the Privy Council will order a reprimand, but it will also reward a thousand taels of silver, and you can send a message when you go back." ”
Yan Qingxi said, "Thank you Wang Xianggong, Pingyin Hou heard that Wang Xianggong has a great deal of research on antiques, no, Pingyin Hou accidentally got a small thing, and I don't know if it's good or bad, please appreciate it." As she spoke, Yan Qing took out a scroll from her arms and carefully spread it out on the table.
Wang Hao stepped forward to take a look, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he said with a smile, "Look at the style of brush and ink painting, it should be a thing of the Sui and Tang dynasties, or not, I will appreciate it, and then inform you when the result is available." ”
After speaking, Wang Hao sighed to Yan Qing again, "Your Qionglou is really the first profitable business to do such a business, I don't know how much Pingyin Hou gave you Qionglou?" ”
Yan Qing sighed and said, "Wang Xianggong doesn't know, since the resignation of the prime minister, our Qionglou business is becoming more and more difficult to do, Jiang Xiaolangjun came to complain to the teacher and the girl a few days ago, no one in the court is difficult to do." ”
Wang Hao touched his beard and said meaningfully, "You have a teacher and a girl here, is there still no one in the court?" ”
Yan Qing understood what Wang Hao meant, and arched her hand and said, "If there is still Wang Xianggong to solve problems for us, the teacher and the girl can also concentrate on writing some small songs for the official family, right?" ”
Wang Hao laughed and said, "That's it, the teacher girl is a celebrity in front of the official family, I can't let her work too hard, we can be closer and closer in the future." ”
The two vaguely said some interest issues to each other, and Wang Hao still remembered that Zhao Ji was coming, so he asked Yan Qing to leave, and asked the housekeeper to prepare together.
In the afternoon, Zhao Ji took Liang Shicheng to Wang Hao's mansion together, under the leadership of Wang Huang, he first visited Wang Huang's courtyard, only to see that it was the cloister coiling, the flower shadow powder wall, Zhao Ji nodded again and again, and there was even some envy in the words, if this is a different emperor, I am afraid that Wang Huang's official will be the end, but Zhao Ji is different, Zhao Ji originally liked elegance and luxury, seeing Wang Huang's courtyard, I only felt that Wang Huang had the same taste as himself, he was an elegant person, and the minister would not rebel if he liked luxury, This is the consistent view of the emperor of the Zhao family, if Wang Hao's house is extremely difficult, Zhao Ji will have to worry about whether Wang Hao is raising his name.
When I came to the courtyard, a stage had been set up here, Wang Hao asked Zhao Ji to sit for a while, walked out by himself, and didn't come back after a while.
Liang Shicheng asked the housekeeper next to him, "Wang Xianggong, where did you go?" The official family is still waiting here! ”
The housekeeper next to him only said that he didn't know, and Zhao Ji smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to wait." ”
At this time, only listening to the sound of gongs and drums, a group of servants went on the stage, Zhao Ji was surprised to find that Wang Hao was actually among them, or the costume of Xiaosheng, Wang Hao is not very old, but he is also a big beard, pretending to be a Xiaosheng, extremely funny, Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing.
Wang Hao saw Zhao Ji laughing, and he was even more energetic, and staged a "Legend of the West Chamber" with the servants.
After the play, Wang Hao stepped down to salute Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji praised, "I didn't expect Wang Xianggong to have such a ability, but he has practiced hard in singing just now?" ”
Wang Hao said, "I learned that the official family was coming, and I practiced from the next dynasty to just now, just because the official family can laugh after being tired." ”
Zhao Ji sighed: "The prince is a loyal minister. ”
Wang Huang rolled his eyes, sat down on the side and said, "What does the official family think of Weichen's courtyard?" ”
Zhao Ji praised: "Wang Aiqing is really good, I'm afraid that only the future widow Yue Gen can compare with your mansion." ”
After speaking, Zhao Ji sighed again, "It's a pity that the flowers and stones disturb the people, and the Taishi is also old, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yue Gen to be built." ”
Wang Hao got up and bowed, "Weichen has a word, don't be disloyal, I hope the official family will sit and listen." ”
Zhao Ji saw Wang Huang like this, and said with a straight face, "Say it all." ”
Wang Hao said, "The thief caused trouble, but he suffered from the tea and salt method, and it has nothing to do with Huashigang. This matter is the blame of Your Majesty for the sake of inviting the name! ”
Zhao Ji was furious when he heard this, got up and asked, "Is this true?" ”
Wang Hao said: "How dare Weichen bully the king? Although the flower stone has the original owner, but every time the levy is made up to the silver, the people are not happy about it, why suffer?
Wechen heard that there are still wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan who collect flowers and stones everywhere, and when the government levies, they raise the asking price to make them rich! ”
Zhao Ji slapped the table and said angrily: "Eunuch Nu'an, dare to bully me!" ”
Liang Shicheng said, "Official, this is not the first time that Taiwei Tong has done this, after all, there is a saying since ancient times, the general is outside, the king's order is not affected, and Taiwei is also doing this in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible." ”
Liang Shicheng's words reminded Zhao Ji of the past when Tong Guan was in the northwest, not only did he not listen to his will to withdraw the army, but instead made an edict.
Zhao Ji turned around a few times with his hands behind his back, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you say anything today?" ”
Wang Hao looked like he was thinking about the country and said, "The captain led the army to fight abroad, I am the minister, and I should endure for the country, as I pointed out in the court, I am afraid that the captain will be distracted outside and cause damage to the country, so I dare not speak." ”
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "The prince is reasonable, that's it, let's stop here today, go back to the palace!" ”
Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng glanced at each other, understanding that this matter had become a thorn in Zhao Ji's heart, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
