Chapter 414: Never Willing to Yield a Step

He is a slave of His Majesty's family, and everything he does is to serve His Majesty, and now the punishment is coming, and the official family is still the emperor in the palace, but they are all guilty and have been relegated overseas.

Is overseas a place for people to stay? The people on the Yuanyou Party Monument are just derogatory to Lingnan, except for Su Dongpo and Su Ziyou who can come back, the rest are dead. And Su Dongpo was taken care of so well by Zhao Xing that he still died shortly after he came back. Therefore, if derogatory Lingnan is a disguised murder, derogatory overseas is even more torture and killing.

However, Tong Guan is indeed a house slave of the emperor, all his trust comes from His Majesty, His Majesty doesn't trust him anymore, a small note can kill him, can he blame His Majesty? Does he dare to accuse His Majesty?

His complaints, if no one hears it, it's fine, but what does Yangzhou Oiran do, ushering in and sending off, delivering information to guests, and disseminating news is one of their professional ethics. In this way, will his complaints be known to the whole world?

Tong Guan's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he asked Zhao Xing with his eyes: "Is it okay?" ”

As an Oiran, he naturally has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he is the best at observing words and feelings. Tong Guan's face changed, Yi Zhangqing immediately giggled, twisted his body in Zhao Xing's arms and coquettishly: "Taiwei really can't take care of people, and friends don't invite you to sit when they come, so unfamiliar, the slave will blame you...... Hehe, the slave has heard that Tong Taiwei is famous, and he is very fortunate to see it today! Sisters, Hugh snubbed Captain Tong. ”

The geisha Autumn immediately stood up to greet him: "What a majestic Tong Taiwei...... Xianggong, the slave went to greet someone to bring tea, okay? ”

The words were inquiry, but Qiu Ri didn't wait for Zhao Xing to answer, and rushed out of the house in a flash, Tong Guan didn't reach out and didn't catch it, and the chest in his eyes became more and more hideous. His hand had touched the knife.

The rest of the geisha didn't dare to approach Tong Guan, so they had to coquettish Zhao Xing in unison: "Xianggong, since it is a former friend who is visiting, the slave should greet him wholeheartedly." It's a pity that there are only leftovers here, come on, come on, hurry up and change to new wine and new tea! ”

Zhao Xing shook his head slowly and said something that no one could understand: "This is not the Ming and Qing dynasties!" ”

Pause. Zhao Xing greeted like no one else: "Captain Tong, sit down!" These are my Yangzhou playmates, this is a Danqing Song Xinxin, and the one who left just now is the 'autumn' that is as bright as the autumn cherry blossoms, this ......"

At this moment, Autumn Footsteps came running back, followed by the black man Tyson, the Gurkha Guardian Zahar. As soon as the two entered the house, Zhao Xing immediately beckoned: "It's just in time, let them serve new dishes and fruits, go quickly!" ”

When the two guards entered the door, they had already made a pounce on the ground. The target was Tong Guan, and Zhao Xing's timely stop was just a clumsy cover-up. In fact, Tong Guan had let go of the knife just now, because Zhao Xing said, "These are my Yangzhou playmates."

This is not the Ming and Qing dynasties. Killing a geisha casually is a big crime. Tong Guan was murderous in order to prevent them from spreading his words, but he was now on the cusp and did not dare to be too presumptuous. And what Zhao Xing said was to remind Tong Guan: Everyone knows that these women are by my side, I love them very much, I can't get out of it if you kill them, and I can't bear it, so I won't cover it up for you, and I can't allow you to do it.

Tong Guan immediately comprehended Zhao Xing's hint. When the guard came in, his intention was obvious, and he knew very well: if Zhao Xing greeted him a little later just now, he would have to finish the game.

Not long ago, when Zhao Xing counted those criminals, he said that several of them had been killed. The reason why they were killed was very reluctant, and at a glance they knew that it was the other party who made up the land. That's right, it was made up by the other party, but Zhao Xing is now in full swing. The Manchu ministers hated those who were killed. Now they will only applaud in unison, and then secretly complain about why Zhao Xing's list does not have Cai Jing and others. Meanwhile. Countless bitter masters who had been persecuted by them roared angrily, dissatisfied that Zhao Xing had given the dead a happy ......

In this case, if he was killed here today, perhaps, the applause in the court rang out.

Tong Guan coughed dryly, and smiled bitterly at Qiuri: "You little girl, you slipped away fast just now, I thought you really went to get refreshments, but you didn't leave your hand, and you went to greet someone...... Hehe, is it necessary? You really look down on me and underestimate Zhao Xianggong. Zhao Xianggong is also an invincible opponent in the South Seas. What am I, I have a wolf body, but even if I eat the gall of the dragon's heart leopard, I will not dance the knife in front of Zhao Xiang. Hmph, when I met Zhao Xiang's old friends, we chatted warmly, and it seems that there is no need to call these two Black Iron Towers as helpers, right?! ”

Tong Guan showed his attitude and told the geisha that he would no longer insist. At the same time, he was also covering up the truth to divert attention, transferring his hostility towards the geisha to Zhao Xing, and he was telling some people who were not in the venue: I had a lively chat with Zhao Xing, but the geisha misunderstood, thinking that I was going to fight with Zhao Liren, so I beckoned the guards to appear - in fact, I didn't mean that, I and Zhao Xing are old friends. Besides, do I dare to play with knives in front of Zhao Xing?

The geisha didn't dare to refute, and Tong Guan praised dryly: "This little girl, what a ghost!" ”

Immediately, he continued to jump the topic: "After receiving the order from the imperial court, I came non-stop. Leave people, you have to help me, I can't rely on others anymore - Shaanxi is sick and weak, you know. The war with Tibet was initiated by you, and you promised the imperial court on the supply of ordnance, I am very relieved. However, the Shaanxi soldiers have been fighting all year round, and the soldiers are already weak and weak, and they cannot fight again.

Leave people, no matter what, you need to give me some help, I know that you have power in Shaanxi, at least Huanqing still listens to you, you send me a batch of personal soldiers, lest I go to Shaanxi empty-handed. ”

Zhao Xing smiled: "I don't have any soldiers under me, all of them are generals." ”

Tong Guan knew what Zhao Xing said, and immediately agreed: "I will give the official body, and I will give each of the people you send to me, so that they will not enter the camp to tattoo the characters." ”

"Yo, I didn't expect you to have any private goods you haven't taken out...... Well, that's right, you sold thousands of official titles, and you will hide some of them yourself. Send it to me, I'll sell it for you, how about waiting for three or seven to share? ”

Tong Guan's face turned into a bitter gourd: "It's been hard for half a lifetime...... I heard that these officials sold by the imperial court are not recognized by you, what do you want them for? ”

"You are stupid, I will definitely not admit that the court sold the official, but it is another thing if I sold it myself!"

Tong Guan's spirit perked up: "It's better to be like this - now that the imperial court is investigating, the officials I sold with Cai Yuanchang in the past have been dismissed and deposed, and these official titles in my hands can no longer be sold at a good price." But it's not the same when you and I join hands. As long as you admit it to the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, the price will rise again, and it will be a good deal, how about it, why not? ”

"But I'm just admitting it overseas", Zhao Xing said in embarrassment: "This official doesn't count in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, I want it, that is, to sell it with overseas islands." Let the buyer take it to coax the natives of Nanyang. ”

"That's fine!" Tong Guan was overjoyed: "Okay, three or seven are divided!" ”

Zhao Xingdi's attitude was a little twisted: "I mean to say: I am seven and you are three." ”

Tong Guan ran: "No, at most five or five accounts." This is mine, I got the official letter from the official family, without my ......"

Zhao Xing's answer was just two words: "Officer!" ”

Tong Guan was dumbfounded, and after a pause, he shouted: "Give me five hundred officers, and I would rather share the account with you for four or six." You're six, I'm four! ”

Zhao Xing slowly: "Fifty! It's useless for you to ask for so many officers, you are going to supervise the army, only responsible for logistics, why are you taking so many people there? Waste! Give you fifty officers, three or seven cents. ”

Tong Guan endured: "300 officers." Four-six points, you six and I four! ”

Zhao Xing's reply was: "Fifty! Three-seven accounts. I'm seven, you're three. ”

"200, four six points, you six and I four!"

"Fifty! Three-seven accounts. I'm seven, you're three. ”

Tong Guan lowered his wishes again and again. Zhao Xingdi replied that it was still "fifty!" Three-seven accounts. I'm seven and you're three". Tong Guan couldn't help it, and roared angrily: "Zhao Liren, don't you ever refuse to give a step?" What if you give way? ”

Zhao Xing pushed away the green man in his arms, raised his finger and replied: "You don't know what you want, let me tell you: now, the low-level officers in the Great Song Dynasty are very early, and the chief of Wu is everywhere, and he can be competent without special knowledge." And the ones trained in my military academy are at least the heads. They know the knack of training non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, so that the army can quickly increase its combat effectiveness. If I give you fifty people, it is equivalent to giving you fifty heads.

In this world, three-legged toads are not easy to find, two-legged people are everywhere, catch a group of two-legged people, and fifty heads will immediately train fifty metropolitan soldiers for you. After two or three battles, these 'heads' had actual combat experience. It will soon be upgraded to 'command' - a war with the little Tibetans. I also sent troops in Dali to echo Shaanxi, do you need to use fifty soldiers under command in Shaanxi? ”

"What? Did you send troops from Dali? Tong Guan asked in surprise.

"Not only Dali. The Chengdu government also bluffed and sent troops to echo. That is to say: the Shaanxi Tubo rebels are isolated and will not be reinforced by a single soldier", Zhao Xing looked at Tong Guan graciously: "This is a battle that must be won, and it is a plain feat." I'll give you this exploit, what do you give me? Thirty-seven refused to divide the account...... You're so thick-skinned! ”

Tong Guan opened his mouth and stammered: "Why, I don't care about it, this, this, that's it, I can't say it, according to you, it's all up to you!" However, I have to pick this officer myself, and I will go now, so that you don't have to hide the good candidates. ”

"Okay!" Zhao Xing replied generously: "I immediately ordered the summoning of officers from Shaanxi. ”

"No need to convene, don't convene in advance, I'll look at them one by one - I will take away all the ordnance that the officer carries, and from now on I will not leave you an inch, so you don't have to do anything", Tong Guan insisted.

Zhao Xing asked rhetorically: "How many official bodies do you have?" ”

Tong Guan replied: "Not much, only more than 400!" ”

Zhao Xing reluctantly got up: "More than four hundred, ah, the profit is enough!" For the sake of your promise to divide the account, I will personally run with you...... Ladies, wash up and wait for me to come back, I earned a ticket today, and I'm in a good mood! ”

Before entering the barracks, Tong Guan hurriedly dodged: "Leave people, block me, stop the group of people to see me!" ”

Zhao Xingshun looked at Tong Guan's gaze: "Ah, it's a degraded official sent by the imperial court, and he is about to be deported, whatever, it's all your old friends." Why don't you stop by and say hello? ”

Tong Guan hurriedly waved his hand: "Only now I am alone, how to greet them when I see them, I shouldn't be hated to death!" Leave people, block me, you have to go over to say hello, or point to present, just go yourself, and I'll hide for a while. ”

"Very good!" Zhao Xing promised: "I'll go and present it, and get rid of them quickly." Once you've chosen, just go for yourself. No need to say goodbye. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Tong Guan said as he took out a small key from his arms: "The official body is in the box, and I will send someone to your house when I turn around...... Say goodbye, I'll go straight to Shaanxi when I'm done here, don't tell them I'm here.

Among the degraded officials under the corridor were the eunuchs Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others, as well as the ministers of the court, Wang Huang and Li Bangyan. Among them, Liang Shicheng was known as the "internal minister", and Wang Hao and Li Bangyan, the two future prime ministers and one of the six thieves, had a non-significant reputation at that time. Wang Hao is currently only a pavilion bachelor, and Li Bangyan is still a lang official. It was only because they followed Cai Jing too closely that they suffered together.

These more than a dozen degraded officials were detained in the corner of the corridor of the Yangzhou Navy Yamen, Zhao Xing was tall and his image was obvious, he stood at the mouth of the steps and looked at the dozen degraded officials, and the corners of the degraded officials' eyes had actually swept to Zhao Xing, but they deliberately pretended not to know. Liang Shicheng took the opportunity to raise the voice of the male duck. chattered comforting companions: "Don't worry, Lord Taiwei has always had the habit of sheltering and degrading officials. The last time he entered Beijing, it was clear that he had the opportunity to exclude dissidents, but he let the traitors of the new party and the old party continue to be officials, and also vigorously supported Chen Qian and others. Our family has always had a friendship with Lord Taiwei, and Lord Taiwei will not bear to let me go overseas. ”

Zhao Xing listened to these words in his ears, his face was expressionless, and he curiously looked for Wang Hao and Li Bangyan among the degraded officials.

According to Cai Jing's "Listening to the Qin" and some Song records: Cai Jing's eyebrows are sparse and handsome. The demeanor is elegant and calm, and he has a bit of a beautiful man's taste; Another such figure who is also an official to the prime minister is named Wang Huang. This person has a tall figure, blonde hair and golden eyes, and Li Bangyan, who was later known as the "prodigal prime minister", is also dignified, and can be called a beautiful man of the times.

Zhao Xing wondered why Wang Hao had blonde hair, it stands to reason. According to genetic theory, blonde hair is not a dominant gene, and the presence of blonde hair on one head indicates that the person has at least 90% European blood in his genes. It's a pity that the Song Dynasty did not have an detailed historical account of this traitorous minister, and now that he saw it in person, he wanted to summon Wang Huang to come over and ask about his resume and family history, so as to confirm his identity, but it was a pity that Liang Shicheng said so. On the contrary, it was inconvenient for him to say hello.

Zhao Xing was more curious about Li Bangyan. This person likes to play football, and he relied on his kicking skills to eventually become the prime minister. In "Water Margin", the story of Li Bangyan winning the prime minister's land with kicking football was placed on Gao Yu, so Gao Yu took on the reputation of "Juju Taiwei", so that he was scolded for a thousand years after that.

It is said that these three prime minister-level figures often participate in secret dramas in the palace. And Li Bangyan was especially called the "prodigal prime minister" by the people of the time, claiming to be: to appreciate the world's flowers, to kick the world's balls, and to be the world's officials.

Rumor: During a secret play in the palace for fun, Li Bangyan was mixed with the dwarfs who advocated excellence, and suddenly stripped off all the clothes on his body, revealing his body covered with mottled patterns, and muttering obscene words, which immediately caused an uproar in the audience. Emperor Huizong jumped up and chased and beat him with a wooden stick, and he fled to the bottom of the porch, climbed onto the pillars and refused to come down, begging for mercy in a coquettish voice.

The emperor laughed and fell, and ordered the eunuch to announce the holy decree, saying, "You can come down." ”

He muttered, "The yellow warbler peeked and didn't dare to come down from the branches", and only then did he come down from the beams and pillars - thus, a Chinese idiom was born: the clown jumping off the beam.

It is said that when the monarch and ministers were having fun, they were bumped into by the queen, and the queen was taken aback, shook her head and sighed: "The prime minister is still like this, how can this country be governed?" ”

Wang Hao and Cai Jing were similar to the prodigal prime minister, and they had all made the emperor's dragon heart happy in the same or similar way. However, the head of the empire at that time obviously did not see it this way, and Emperor Huizong personally wrote the title of Wang Huang's mansion and said: "Virtuous rule"......

It can be seen that in the case of the dominance of one party, in the eyes of the emperor, the clown who can cater to himself will inevitably become a first-class "national elite" of Taigongwang and Zhuge Kongming.

But now, since Liang Shicheng said that, it is obviously inappropriate for Zhao Xing to go over to say hello again.

He has always had a reputation for being bold to his friends, if he recognized this friendship in the past, he would inevitably have to imitate the old precedents and leave this group of people in the country, but this group of "jumping clowns" is really powerful, they are absolutely flatterers who can't succeed and have more than enough failures, Zhao Xing provoked them, and his reputation will be bad in the future, and it is estimated that he will not be scolded for thousands of years, so he only stood on the steps and looked at it, and then turned around indifferently and went back to the house under the call of the attendant.

The attendant whispered to him: not long ago, Deng Yufu had arrived on Jaffna Island with a caravan of blonde hair and blue eyes; At the same time, tributary envoys sent by the Arabs also arrived in Guangzhou, and the envoy is said to have traveled around the city to inquire about the purchase of firearms, and claimed to have asked the Great Song Dynasty to give them firearms technology.

Zhao Xing sneered: "Do the Arabs think that the Great Song Dynasty is still the fool in the past?" I guess that the imperial court is completely afraid of me this time, and will never let me escort this tributary group to the capital, but the imperial court will definitely push this matter back to me and let me handle it—do you still need to think about this result? ”

This attendant is a civil official, named Shi Wenguan, he is a different kind of Shi general, abandoned the military and followed the literature for many years, but he could not pass the Jinshi examination, in the original history he will be wasted for life, knowing that the Jin soldiers are in the city, he was only enabled by Qinzong. But after Shi Cheng left the school, Zhao Xing did not have a clever attendant by his side, so the Shi family sent Shi Wenguan to study while serving.

Shi Wenguan grinned, intending to meet. He then reported: "My lord, the fifteenth generation musket has been finalized, and the Guangnan Ordnance Bureau has sent it to Yangzhou with the news ship, do you want to see it?" ”

Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh: "How can people's creativity be so powerful, not immersive, it's hard to imagine the Song people's creative ability - thunder hats, how did they come up with it?" ”

Shi Wenguan smiled and patted his ass: "This is not thanks to the 'science of materialization' taught by adults." ”

Zhao Xing enjoyed this compliment, and he happily ordered: "Let's go, let's go see the new musket." I'm looking forward to the surprises they bring! ”
