Outside the Zhengyang Gate in the south of Jinling City, a group of people dressed in various official robes were waiting in a queue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the front of everyone, there was a young man wearing the crown of the county king and an old man wearing a first-class official uniform.

Judging from the clothes of these people, the person they said they would greet must be extraordinary, otherwise they would not have bothered these two people who are rarely seen to wait here.

Today is the day when the former lord of Fujian, the king of Langya, arrived in Jinling to meet Yang Wu, the king of Wu, according to the news from the front, Wang Shenzhi's party has arrived three miles away at this time.

"Your Highness seems to be a little nervous?" On the side, Yin Wengui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw Yang Longyan looking forward from time to time, and immediately asked with a smile.

"Yes, a little!" Yang Longyan may have been trained too much during this period of military training, and after hearing Yin Wengui's inquiry, he subconsciously straightened his chest and replied loudly.

But then he reacted again, and immediately laughed a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, although Wang Zhenzhi is the lord of a feudal town, but now that he has surrendered to our country, his previous identity is not important, what matters is his future identity in the Wu Kingdom." Yin Wengui whispered.

"His Royal Highness is the king's own brother, and he is deeply loved by the king, and now he is already a hereditary prince of the county, and he may not be able to go further in the future and become a hereditary prince. In my Wu Kingdom, how many people can be more noble than His Highness? Therefore, His Royal Highness only needs to treat him with a normal heart, and at most give him some courtesy, and he can't lose the face of our country. ”

Yang Longyan is still young in the end, although he is very smart and understands what Yin Wengui said when he thinks about it, he is still inevitably a little nervous in his heart.

This is the first time he has officially come out to do things, and he is also representing Yang Wu to greet the feudal towns who came to meet him, so with such a heavy responsibility, he naturally can't be as indifferent as Yin Wengui.

However, after all, he has been in the army for nearly half a year, at least his mind is still very determined.

He secretly admonished himself in his heart: "When Brother Wang officially joined the army as a general, he was only fifteen years old, and he began to lead the troops to fight and command Ruoding on the battlefield; And I'm thirteen years old this year, so I don't even feel nervous when I see a king, so how should I go to war in the future? ”

Thinking like this, the tension in his heart was reduced a lot, and he began to ask Yin Wengui what he needed to pay attention to for a while.

Yin Wengui couldn't help but admire in his heart when he saw that he had adjusted his mentality so quickly.

"After a while, when you see the king's judgment, don't be too busy to speak, but wait until he has saluted you first, and then you will speak; Because not only is your title higher than him, but you also represent the king, so the rules in the middle must not be messed up......" Yin Wengui stared in a low voice.

Yang Longyan wrote down these details one by one in his heart, recalled them in his mind, and found that he had memorized them, so he asked the next question.

And not far away, Wang Xianzhi was also a little nervous.

As the lord of a feudal town who has been in charge of Fujian for more than ten years and is accustomed to being in power, Wang Xianzhi has never felt that he will have such a nervous day.

Of course, considering that he came to Jinling this time to decide not only his own fate, but also the future fate of his large family, as well as many of his subordinates, it was not surprising that he felt nervous.

"Guogong, according to the news I just received, the king has other important matters today, so he can't come to greet Guogong in person; After a while, Yin Wengui Yin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the king's younger brother, the king of Hailing County, will be responsible for greeting, and please don't feel rude! Pi Guangye, who was riding side by side with him, whispered to Wang Xianzhi.

"How dare you? The king's status is noble, and he has every opportunity, how dare the old man dare to come to greet the king in person? Saying that the labor Yin Shangshu and His Royal Highness the King of Hailing, the old man was a little uneasy in his heart! Wang Xianzhi hurriedly said humbly.

Yin Wengui and Yang Long play the two, one can represent the court of Wu Guo, and the other can represent Yang Wu himself, this arrangement can be said to be just right, which will not make Wang Xianzhi feel neglected, and will not make Wang Xianzhi despise because it is too grand.

As for the statement that Yang Wu has other important matters, this is naturally a prevarication, and there is obviously nothing more important during this period than Wang Zhenzhi's entry into the court.

Wang Zhenzhi was naturally very satisfied with Yang Wu's arrangement, the only thing that made him feel a little embarrassed was that his title after entering Wu was the Duke of Min, and after seeing Yang Long play the king of the county later, he was afraid that he would take the initiative to salute him.

Bowing to a child who is only thirteen years old this year made Wang Zhenzhi, who is now nearly fifty years old, a little embarrassed.

Of course, if you take into account that Wu Wang Yang Wu is not very old, and he can only be regarded as a junior, I am afraid that the embarrassment in the future will be even more.

It's just that Yang Wu, a famous man who moved the world and relied on his own efforts to win many territories in Zhejiang and Jiangxi, even Emperor Zhu Wen of Liang did not dare to underestimate the heroic salute, and the resistance in his heart will naturally be much less.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the foot of Jinling City, looking at this magnificent city that had just been built two years ago, the newly built wall bricks, the dense city towers, and the neatly arranged female walls still surprised everyone who stayed in the small city of Fuzhou all the year round.

"Is this Jinling City? Sure enough, it is worthy of being the capital of a big country, it is magnificent! Someone couldn't help but praise loudly.

"The circumference of this city is forty-two miles, three feet high, three feet wide, all made of bricks and stones. It's a pity that it's still inferior to Chang'an City! Seeing this, Pi Guangye smiled slightly, and introduced to Wang Xianzhi with a hint of self-satisfaction.

Wang Zhenzhi naturally wouldn't be as unsteady as his subordinates, but the majesty of Jinling City still left a deep impression on him, at least in his impression, there were few such majestic cities in the south.

"Sure enough, it is a majestic city, and the king is the capital here, which is the inheritance of the ancient emperor's spirit!" Wang Xianzhi praised slightly.

At this time, everyone was already able to see Yang Longyan, Yin Wengui and others who came to greet them from the city.

Wang Zhenzhi didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly rushed forward and jumped off the horse, and prepared to salute Yang Long.

"The minister has seen His Royal Highness King Hailing......"

Among so many people, only Yang Longyan at the front is a child, and Wang Zhenzhi naturally will not recognize the wrong person.

However, before he could finish his salute, Yang Longyan stepped forward and pressed Wang Shenzhi's hand to prevent him from bowing.

"The Duke of Min came from afar, and my brother Wang has some important matters to deal with recently, so he lives on his behalf, and he is not welcome, please don't blame him!"

Yang Long was still a little nervous before, but at this time, he calmed down, and his words and deeds were just right, so that Yin Wengui and Pi Guangye couldn't help but smile when they saw it.

Wang Xianzhi also didn't expect that although Yang Longyan was young, he acted so thoughtfully, neither did he speak first, messed up the etiquette, and did not really let Wang Shenzhi bow down, avoiding his embarrassment, which made him very surprised.

"This King Hailing is only thirteen years old, and he acts so steadily and thoughtfully, plus the current King Wu, several of the heirs of King Wu have all become talents!"

Thinking back to his sons, although they can't be said to be waste, their abilities are indeed a little mediocre, and compared with Yang Xingmi, he is far inferior.

But then Wang Zhenzhi came to his senses again, and now that he has surrendered to Wu Guona, what do you want to do so much?

He hurriedly thanked Yang Longyan, and then greeted Yin Wengui, and tried his best to greet the other officials who came to greet him, and did not neglect anyone.

Seeing his attitude, the smiles on the faces of Yin Wengui and Pi Guangye became more and more obvious.

"Min Guogong must be a little tired from the journey? It's better to go and rest for a while; Tonight, the king will set up a banquet in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust for the prince! Yin Wengui introduced today's itinerary to Wang Xianzhi.

Although it is most important to determine the surrender as soon as possible now, as the so-called anxious can't eat hot tofu, this matter is still in a hurry, so you can only take it slowly step by step.

At that moment, Wang Shenzhi, under the leadership of Yin Wengui, went to the place where he was prepared to rest.

At this time, in the canopy hall, Yang Wu and other cabinet members basically gathered here.

"Wang Zhenzhi has arrived in Jinling, I don't know what kind of mood he is in now? Do you feel the prosperity of my Wu country? Gao Miao and the others were a little excited on their faces.

Wang Shenzhi entered the Hajj, which should have been safe in the eyes of everyone.

This was the first time that other feudal forces had surrendered without a fight, which not only greatly boosted the hearts of the people of Wu, but also highlighted the legitimacy of Wu.

Of course, more importantly, with this successful demonstration, it will definitely be much easier to solve the problems of other feudal towns in the future.

So Gao Miao and the others smiled one by one.

"We can't be too happy yet, until the dust settles on the final result, everyone must be cautious and not make any mistakes!" Yang Wu reminded everyone with a smile.

His voice was equally relaxed and cheerful, and although he reminded everyone to be cautious, he was afraid that he already felt that this matter was nine out of ten.

"Tonight's banquet must be done well, the officials above the fifth grade in Jinling, except for the necessary personnel on duty, everyone else must participate, and the banquet must be held grandly!"

"As for tomorrow, the Lone Club will personally go to review the military academy exercises, and then let Wang Xianzhi accompany him, so that he can see how the elite of my Wu army is refined!" Yang Wu loudly announced the plan for the two days.

If tonight's banquet is to show favor to Wang Zhenzhi, then tomorrow's review is naturally to demonstrate to him, so that he can further understand the gap between the two sides and strengthen his determination to surrender.

"Please rest assured, the ministers will arrange these things!" Gao Miao and the others hurriedly replied. Scripture IV
