Ren Tianxing accompanied Lao Wei to the south, and he soon found that this Wei Xianggong was very funny and easy-going, without any shelves, the food on the ship was poor, and the rice wine was not good, but Wei Xianggong didn't care at all, and together with a group of pirates, he ate seastuffs and talked nonsense.

Lao Wei said that when he was young, he studied hard, crossed the river away from home, threw his clothes in the river, vowed never to return to his hometown if he was not famous, and also said that he assisted Guo Wei and made up his mind to enter Kaifeng and restore the rivers and mountains of the Han family.

Lao Wei smiled and said: "You often like to say that the officials force the people to rebel, which makes sense, but how did the officials come about, it is the same as the officials forcing the people to rebel." Han Gaozu took the body of the pavilion chief, cut the snake uprising, swept Qin and destroyed Chu, what a hero! Therefore, those of us who seem to be on the top, we must be even more cautious and take off this official uniform, I am the same as you. ”

Wei Renpu poured a big sip of wine into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't think that the old man is talking nonsense, right now Da Zhou has abolished the vocational field, abolished the public field, and learned the field...... In short, the privileges of the gentry were exempted, and when the old man returned home, he had to farm, pay the same taxes, and serve the same, speaking of which, it was the ordinary people, and this was the new law of the Great Zhou. ”

After getting along for a few days, some water thieves also became bold and said unconvinced: "You are the prime minister, the court doesn't still have a good fortune, and there is still preferential treatment, how can you be the same as ordinary people?" ”

Lao Wei smiled: "That's a good point, but the old man, the prime minister, didn't fall from the sky casually, I studied hard when I was young, and then I was lucky enough to follow the first emperor, risking a U-turn, and raising troops to do things, so I have today." Da Zhou is against getting something for nothing, but the old man has paid, shouldn't there be a return? Just like you, if you work for Da Zhou and make contributions, maybe you will be able to enter the phase in the future. All in all, the new law of the Great Zhou Dynasty pays attention to the word fairness. ”

"The acres of land are fair, the taxes and servitudes are fair, the opportunities are fair, and now schools are set up in various places, and the children of ordinary families can also go to school, and from now on, there will be no distinction between scholars and ordinary people...... Let me tell you one thing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in class with thousands of students in the Great Zhou School, and his exam results are not good, and His Majesty will be worried and scratch his head! ”

"So, don't care about your background, there is nothing noble and low in this world, the big guys are all the same." Lao Wei said, slanted Ren Tianxing with the corners of his eyes, and then smiled at the pirates: "You are the owner of the ship, you just can't turn the corner, you think that you are not worthy of Han Xizai's daughter, you are a toad eating swan meat!" Lao Wei pouted disdainfully, "How contemptuous and self-deprecating?" Why do you look down on yourself so much? The old man also married a woman from the Li family in Longxi! How about it, for decades, honestly, husband and child. As a gentleman, what you want is a breath of energy, are you right? ”

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

The pirates smiled and agreed, and stretched out their thumbs one after another, "Wei Xiangye, it's really good, our big dragon head is too timid and too thin-skinned!" He's at a loss! ”

The pirates laughed, making Ren Tianxing's old face red, and they almost wanted to throw these men into the sea, but before they could do anything, you rebelled, it's just hateful!

Someone got closer and asked Lao Wei curiously, "I heard Xiang Ye say that Da Zhou is really good, but why are so many people scolding you?" Say, say that the Central Plains is often upside down, like hell! ”

Lao Wei snorted, "What is Gang Chang?" Gangchang is that you leather monkeys will quickly lie on the ground when they see the old man, that is, you ship owners don't want to marry famous ladies in your life! This is Tsunsune! Do you want to? ”

The pirates were stunned for a while, and then woke up like a dream, "Oh, the little ones understand, it's those who hate the new law, so they spread rumors and slander, just like some people say that we are little ghosts on the sea, eating people and drinking blood, right?" ”

Wei Renpu smiled and said, "That's right, what the old man said to you is not that I am talking nonsense...... I, Wang Pu, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, have taken all the scholars and scholars to re-compile and annotate the Confucian classics, and we want to achieve a new school of learning, which talks about the relationship between people, the relationship between people and the imperial court, how to govern the world, and how to maintain justice and righteousness......"

The pirates surrounded Lao Wei and listened to it fascinated, and after only a few days, most of these people had been fooled and lame by Wei Renpu. Even Ren Tianxing couldn't help but sigh, Ye Hua told him that there are many outstanding talents in Kaifeng, far better than the champions, and there are countless people.

Now it seems that Wei Xianggong is much stronger than Ye Hua, he really has the wind of a prime minister, and the belly of the boat is amazing!

Famous ministers and good generals gathered, and it seems that it may be a good choice to take refuge in Da Zhou...... The fleet sailed into the Yangtze River and headed straight for Suzhou.

As soon as they entered the mouth of the Yangtze River, a fleet of ships appeared from the south, not too far from them, and it seemed that there were dozens of ships.

"Wei Xianggong, eighty percent is Wu Yue's sailor, we are going to prepare for battle, please go back to the cabin to rest for the time being." Ren Tianxing carried the long knife and said with a firm look in his eyes.

Lao Wei smiled, "No need! ”

He nodded his hand and asked his entourage to take out a flag, "Ren Shipowner, you hang up the flag, the old man wants to see if Wu Yue has the courage to dare to move the old man!" ”

Soon the pirates did as they were told, hung the banner of Wei Renpu on the mast, and hunted with the wind.

"Qin Ming Jing slightly recruited the pacification envoy, the scholar, the servant and the secretary of the ministry, the governor of the soldiers and horses of the Korean Gongwei!"

This large string shows the unique identity of Lao Wei, and when this big flag was hung out, Wei Renpu ordered a sailor to drive a small boat to Wu Yue's side, and inform their people to come and meet Shangguo Qincha.

Among the sailors, a young man rushed out, like a dexterous monkey, driving a small boat and rushing towards Wu Yue's fleet.

After waiting for almost half an hour, but there was no movement, Ren Tianxing was in a hurry, "Wei Xianggong, Wu Yue's side is suspicious, so let's be ready for battle!" ”

Lao Wei smiled and waved his hand, "No need, let the owner of the ship, take a look for yourself!" ”

Wei Renpu handed Ren Tianxing a brass tube, Ren Tianxing just saw Lao Wei holding it in his hand, and put it in front of him for a while, he didn't know why, and it was not easy to ask.

Unexpectedly, Lao Wei took the initiative to give it to him, Ren Tianxing followed Wei Renpu's example, and took this thing to look at the sea, but he was startled and almost fell on the deck.

"Oh my God! How can you see that far? ”

Wei Renpu laughed, "This thing is called clairvoyance, and it was also researched by craftsmen, so if the owner of the ship likes it, he will give it to you." ”

How generous!

Ren Tianxing grinned widely, and he was reluctant to even say kind words, for fear that Lao Wei would not give it.

First the compass, then the telescope, how many treasures are there in this big week?

Ren Tianxing was completely impressed, he looked greedily at the situation on the water through the telescope, and finally, two ships rushed over, one after the other.

The young sailor who delivered the letter climbed the rope and jumped up in two columns.

The big guys were curious to ask if there was any danger, he curled the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Who am I?" I'm the messenger of the Great Zhou Qincha, no, Wu Yue's people are here obediently. ”

Sure enough, an official of Wu Yue boarded the ship and hurriedly came over to meet Wei Renpu.

"I don't know that the prime minister of the kingdom is coming, and the lower officials are polite."

Wei Renpu snorted with his nose, "Excuse me, don't you lords respect the Southern Tang Dynasty?" Why are you still so polite to the old man? ”

As soon as these words came out, this Wu Yue's courtier immediately knelt down and wept bitterly, "Qi Qi Shangguo Qincha, our country is really nowhere to go, I have to bend my will to welcome, if the kingdom can pity our country and understand the difficulties of our country, I am naturally willing to respect the Great Zhou, only the order of the Great Zhou is obeyed!" ”

Most of Ren Tianxing's subordinates were from Liangzhejiang, and when they saw Wu Yue's officials being so cowardly, they couldn't help but turn their heads, and it was a shame to take a second look.

Lao Wei smiled indifferently, "If you are willing to take refuge in the Great Zhou, you can naturally learn from the righteous people of Suzhou, accept the land and surrender, the old man will play the imperial court, and wait for you, remember, don't follow the rebels of the Southern Tang Dynasty to disobey the heavenly soldiers, otherwise, on the day the Great Zhou goes south, the chickens and dogs will not stay!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Wu Yue's official hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Lao Wei said again: "This pavilion is going to Suzhou, take your subordinates, return to the station, and dare to covet our army again, the old man will never be polite!" ”

Hearing that Wei Renpu was going to Suzhou, Wu Yue's officials were stunned, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't have the guts, so they could only hug their heads and run away!

"Grandma, what kind of official is this virtue? There is not even a single bone, no wonder the common people are bullied! "These pirates all look down on Wu Yue.

There is no way, who let them be so cowardly, and if they lost Suzhou, they were even more cowardly, and it didn't take long for Wu Yue's fleet to retreat according to Wei Renpu's meaning.

"Xiangye Shenwei, it's amazing!" The pirates exclaimed in unison.

Wei Renpu smiled dumbly, "The old man is just a scholar, he hasn't even killed chickens, what they are afraid of is not me, but Da Zhou...... And my Great Zhou's Tiger and Wolf Division! You are all good men who are rampant on the sea, and you have good skills, but I don't know if you are willing to submit to the Great Zhou and become the sword of the sea in the hands of His Majesty? ”

The pirates were emotional, and some people seemed to agree, but when the words reached the tip of their tongues, they suddenly remembered that the boss was here, and they took the words back, and could only look at Ren Tianxing.

Ren Tianxing groaned slightly, in fact, his persistence has been beaten to pieces, there is not much left, Ye Hua is powerful, this Wei Xianggong, it looks even more extraordinary, let's go down!

Just as he was thinking, the crew who was suddenly looking at the mast exclaimed, "Big dragon head, the sailors of the Southern Tang Dynasty are here, it seems that there are hundreds of ships, and the river has been sealed!" ”

Ren Tianxing was shocked and immediately said: "Quick, all the staff are ready, fight immediately!" ”

After the order was given, he turned to Wei Renpu and said, "Wei Xianggong, I'm afraid that there will be a fight this time, and I invite Xiangye to go into the cabin to rest, and leave everything to the villain!" ”

Wei Renpu laughed, "Riding in the same boat, fighting side by side, as the saying goes, multiple monkeys can have three more strengths." Wei Renpu said, asking his subordinates to bring their own swords, and he pulled them out.

"Brothers, today the old man lives and dies with everyone and kills the enemy together!"
