Chapter Seventy-Six: I See Pity
Jingzhou, Jiangling, Zhengxi General's Mansion.
As the de facto owner of the entire Jingxiang. Constant temperature is not only both civil and military, but also very diligent. Almost all of the achievements that Constant Temperature has achieved today are all made by him.
Among the four major families in Jiangzuo, the starting point of the Heng family is the lowest. After the Yongjia Rebellion, when Heng Yi's father Heng Yi first came to Jiangzuo, he was not accepted by the Jiangzuo clan at that time. Even the Heng family was almost kicked out of the ranks of the family. But Heng Yi is very good at being a man, so he immediately changed into a vest. The once rigorous Confucian scholar has become a draped, crazy metaphysician. After Jiang Zuo's reputation for more than ten years, he finally became a famous person at that time. Only then did he maintain the status of the Heng family and not become a poor family. Otherwise, it is estimated that there will be no constant temperature in the future. is still the same sentence, if you are a poor man in Jiangzuo. No matter how capable you are, you can't be a high-ranking official. This is a real unspoken rule.
"Ahem, ahem!" A cough woke up the constant temperature, who was working on the text.
When he looked up, he saw a thin old man walking in on crutches. Heng Wen hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and quickly got up to support the old man who was about to salute.
"Uncle Yan, don't salute if you're not in good health." Constant temperature said with a reproachful face.
The old man is Yuan Qiao, but compared to a few months ago, Yuan Qiao is even thinner.
"Ming Gong, etiquette must not be abolished!" Yuan Qiao said stubbornly.
"Forget it, I'm really convinced! The body is like this, and he still insists on these false etiquette. Constant Temperature joked, but his tone was full of concern.
Heng Wen helped Yuan Qiao sit down and said solemnly: "There is news from Jiangzuo's side. The imperial court has promoted Yin Yuanyuan (Minghao, the origin of the word) to the history of Yangzhou. As a thank you to the king, thank you for the support of the two families. Yin Yuanyuan recruited Xie Renzu (Mingshang), Wang Yishao (Mingxizhi, that is, Shusheng) and others to command the troops under his command. ”
"You heard me right! Xie Renzu also forgot it, although he couldn't fight. But in the end, he still led the soldiers. But since the 'Wangdun Rebellion', has the Langya Wang clan ever led the troops? If you want to talk about Qing Talk, Wang Yishao writes a book. But did he go to the barracks? Isn't this nonsense? Yin Hao simply treats military affairs as child's play! Yuan Qiao said angrily.
Heng Wen smiled, he seemed to have expected Yuan Qiao to be like this, after waving his hand to signal Yuan Qiao to be quiet. continued: "However, Yin Yuanyuan also recruited Xun Lingze (Mingxian) as a general. ”
"Yingchuan Xun Clan? It seems that Yin Yuanyuan is unwilling to be set aside by the Wang Xie family. Although the Yingchuan Xun clan has declined, its strength is not comparable to the Wang Xie family. But as a thousand-year-old family. The influence of the Yingchuan Xun clan in Yuzhou is very large. If there is the help of the Yingchuan Xun family, coupled with the support of King Huiji, it is really difficult for the Wang Xie family to bridge the Yin origin. Yuan Qiao replied after thinking for a moment.
"Even if Yin Yuanyuan can guarantee that he himself will not be overshadowed by the Wang Xie family, so what? Does he have the ability to command the more than 100,000 elite soldiers of Lianghuai? A person who can talk clearly and has no military exploits, can those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of Lianghuai obey him? Perhaps Yin Yuanyuan could temporarily suppress those people with the prestige of the imperial court. But if there is a war, those people will definitely make a big mess. And once he loses the battle, Yin Yuanyuan is definitely a good substitute for the dead. Constant temperature said disdainfully.
Heng Wen, who has led soldiers in Lianghuai, of course knows how difficult it is for these Lianghuai masters to serve. Most of these two soldiers were made up of refugees who had fled from the north. They inherited the characteristics of the northerners who were tall and brave, and each of them suffered for a long time and hated the Hu people very much. They are the best quality soldiers in Jiangzuo.
But in the same way, they also inherited the brave and unruly character of the northerners. In addition, he fought with the Hu people every year. Jiang Zuo's dependence on the two Huai soldiers became more and more serious. This also made it more and more difficult for the two Huai soldiers to discipline. gradually became a proud soldier. Without a certain degree of military merit and prestige, it is almost impossible to command them.
Moreover, in commanding the troops in the two Huai, it is not only necessary to command the battle. It is also necessary to appease the displaced people in the vicinity of Lianghuai. Many of the displaced people who fled from the north could not enter Jiangzuo, so a large number of displaced people's forts were built near Lianghuai for living and defense. Most of the two Huai soldiers were recruited from these outcasts. Although these homeless people hated the Hu people, they did not have a good impression of Jiang Zuo. If the appeasement is not appropriate, believe it or not, they rebel in minutes.
Heng Wen didn't believe that Yin Hao, a famous man, would lower his head to soothe these mud legs. So from the very beginning, the constant temperature did not take Yin Hao in his eyes. He only cared about whether the military power of the two Huai would fall into the hands of the Wang and Xie families.
……
"Oh no, no!" Just when Heng Wen was discussing big things with Yuan Qiao. A clear-eyed servant rushed in shouting.
This made Constant Temperature's brow furrow. As a family, Constant Temperature is very strict with the servants in the house. It was clear that the servant boy's actions had angered Constant Temperature. In his heart, Constant Temperature was already planning to punish this servant boy severely, even if he was his favorite servant boy. The rules of the house cannot be changed.
"What's the panic, what's going on?" Constant temperature said unhappily.
"Master, no! The lady is assembling her servants. And weapons have been distributed to them. The servant boy said hurriedly.
"Is it? Not good! was discovered. Uncle Yan, there is an urgent matter, you wait for a while, and we will continue to talk in detail later! Constant temperature seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly ran out of the runway.
Yuan Qiao was left alone to laugh secretly. Apparently he knew something.
……
How did thermostat start? In addition to the political legacy left by his Lao Tzu, there is also the fact that he married Sima Xingnan, the daughter of Emperor Ming of Jin.
As soon as you hear the name of this princess, you know that this princess is quite strong. In fact, it is exactly what it is. Even Constant Temperature was very afraid of her.
How strong is it? Here's an example!
Hengwen has a friend named Xie Yi. There may not be many people who know about him. But he has a daughter named Xie Daoyun, he has a son named Xie Xuan, and he has a brother named Xie An.
Xie Yi is a good drinker, and often goes to drink at a constant temperature. But Xie Yi's wine is very bad, and when he gets drunk, he likes to run after the constant temperature. Every time he was chased by Xie Yi, Heng Wen would hide in Sima Xingnan's room. And Xie Yi would stop every time he chased to the door of the room. This shows how strong Sima Xingnan should be.
Generally, strong women are very jealous, and Sima Xingnan is no exception. As Jingxiang's soil emperor Hengwen, he doesn't even have a concubine, so it can be seen.
Two years ago, Hengwen led the army west to conquer the Han Dynasty. After successfully occupying Chengdu, he was given time to recuperate temporarily. Man! As soon as I'm free, I think about that! Constant temperature fell in love with the sister of the Han lord, Li.
The Li family looks like a flower and the moon, and the country is fragrant. And he has a gentle temperament and is knowledgeable. It's a hundred times stronger than the yellow-faced woman at home. Constant temperature was immediately fascinated by Lee's.
But the war always has to end, and the constant temperature has to go home. But Heng Wen knew that once Sima Xingnan knew about it. The Lee family is definitely dead. Therefore, the constant temperature can only hide the Li family secretly in the study. I didn't expect to be discovered by Sima Xingnan today.
……
Gangneung, Zhengxi General's Mansion, study.
"Is that slut hiding in there?" A richly dressed middle-aged woman roared with a knife. That's quite fierce, and it's obvious that she's the wife of constant temperature, Sima Xingnan, the eldest princess of Nankang.
"Yes, ma'am." A servant boy shuddered.
"Slut to death!" Sima Xingnan kicked open the door and said angrily.
There was no one else in the room, except for a dignified, very beautiful lady who was quietly combing her hair. Seeing Sima Xingnan, who broke in with a knife, the lady did not panic. straightened his clothes, folded his hands, and saluted Sima Xingnan: "The daughter of the dead country, the Li family visits the princess and asks the princess for forgiveness!" ”
Lee's voice was very low and sad, and coupled with this drooping and pitiful expression, it was very lovable. Seeing Li's expression, Sima Xingnan couldn't help but think of when he was a child, Wang Dun had threatened his family like this. Sima Xingnan couldn't help but throw away the knife in his hand, then hugged Li into his arms and said, "Azi, I have pity when I see you, let alone the old slave!" ”
A moment later, when the 'old slave' arrived at the scene, he saw Sima Xingnan and Li hugging each other. Constant temperature was suddenly confused. But I think it's good to keep the temperature constant.
Of course, the next few days. Constant temperature is not good. Because he found that Li and Sima Xingnan were glued together. Throw him aside.
