Du Chong's left-behind division is located in a large courtyard in Taicheng, which is also where Zhao Gouxing used to be in the political hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After eating the soup cakes cooked by An Niang, Wang Shen's strength recovered a little.

After getting out of the carriage, he pushed away Yue Yun and Qin Sizhao who were helping him, and said to his subordinates: "You all wait here, I will go to see Du Xianggong by myself." ”

Then gritted his teeth and walked inside at a steady pace.

For Du Chong, a famous traitor and traitor in history, he was full of curiosity in his heart.

To tell the truth, this Du Chong's character is too poor, narrow-minded, cruel and easy to kill, and he is a difficult commander to get along with.

When dealing with this kind of person, you have to be careful. You can't make a mistake in saying a word, and you can't commit his taboo, so that your heinous contribution will be ignored.

As a so-called successful person in modern society, Wang Shen didn't know how many people he had gotten along with before, and he was an old fritter with a good relationship, so he wasn't too worried about it at this moment.

On the way here, he had already simulated in his mind how to deal with Du Chong, and he already had a preliminary plan.

The hall was burned with a dragon on the ground, it was very warm, and in front of him was a purple figure.

Wang Shen didn't look up, but as soon as he lowered his body, he was about to bow down: "The last general, Wang Shen, will meet Du Xianggong." ”

The fair-skinned hand reached over and supported him, and then there was a long laugh: "Excuse me, excuse me, you have such a serious injury, if you kneel down again, it will look a little unkind, look at the seat." ”

Another attendant came over and helped Wang Shen to sit on a chair.

"Xie Xianggong." At this time, Wang Shen looked up.

I saw a white face in front of me, with sparse eyebrows and bright eyes, and a dignified appearance. He is in his early forties, wearing a purple official uniform, and his aura is magnificent, which shows that he should be very handsome when he is young.

This person is naturally the right minister of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy, Jiankang stayed behind Du Chong, Du Gongmei.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Shen was stunned, a little unexpected.

There is a saying in modern society: each other is born from the heart.

It is said that a traitor like Du Chong should be a roe deer, with a gloomy face, and a wolf looking at the eagle, the Northern Song Dynasty version of Chen Peisi is right. can look at the appearance of this guy, it is a Zhu Shimao, a typical positive character.

That's right, Du Chong was born as a Jinshi, and he was already a prefect of a government before he was developed, and he was a fourth-grade official. According to the ancient imperial examination system, the imperial court had certain requirements for the appearance of officials when selecting officials, requiring good facial features and long heights and arms. If it looks too frustrating and the people are disrespectful, where is the face of the court?

Moreover, in the era of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Ji was a great artist, and the requirements for the appearance of officials were even stricter. Later, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all beautiful men, which was really pleasing to the eye.

Du Chong was in a good mood today, and said with a smile: "Wang Shen, you can be regarded as awake, the Jin people have retired yesterday, and you have made great contributions to this battle, so I am very pleased." Just now you can't stop staring, what do you want to see? ”

"Thanks to the kindness of the prime minister, the three armies have died in this way, and their subordinates dare not take credit." Wang Shen pretended to be respectful: "Wang Shen is just a mustard martial artist, he only knows how to go into battle to kill the enemy, as for the rest, he doesn't think much about it." ”

"It's nonsense." Du Chong suddenly snorted coldly, put away his smile, and said lightly: "The fame may be taken in the field or taken immediately, and the people's hearts are like this, so there is no need to hide it." People who have no ambition, who have no ambition, do not have to admit it. ”

His attitude changed abruptly, and if he replaced others, he would have been so shocked that his heart would change color.

Wang Shen scolded secretly: I have seen a lot of this set of tricks before.

He replied cautiously, "Don't dare." ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Du Chong asked coldly: "I heard that you are Zhang Deyuan's doorman?" ”

Wang Shen's heart was bright: This Du Chong turned out to be worried that I was Zhang Jun's person, Zhang Deyuan has always wanted to be in charge of the army, and he once impeached Du Chong, and the two of them may fight for the position of the palm seal of the political hall in the future, they are political enemies. I am nominally Zhang Jun's protégé, so naturally I will be disliked by him. Hehe, you have to clear up this relationship.

He replied: "Exactly, but I know Zhang Xianggong, but Zhang Xianggong doesn't know his subordinates." ”

Du Chong was stunned: "What do you say?" ”

Wang Shen said: "His subordinates are just subordinates of Zhang Xianggong's people, if you really say it, you can be regarded as his people." The last time I crossed the river to issue an edict, I encountered a chaotic army, and the ambassador who issued the edict was also separated from his subordinates...... Later, I met Li Cheng...... To save your life...... Had to ......"

After talking for a long time, he finally repeated the lie he had told many times before.

After speaking, he pretended to be frightened: "Xianggong Du, Wang Shen used to be just an ordinary person, he just wanted to live in the troubled times, where did he have any ambitions." It's just that the fortune is like this, and the subordinates can only wield the sword in their hands to survive on the battlefield. ”

Du Chong let out a meaningful "oh" and said lightly: "I see, I can't imagine that you have a small entourage of karma to assemble in Huaixi, and now in Jiankang to do such an earth-shattering event." What you have done, the princes in the court are amazed, and say, Zhang Deyuan's subordinates are so talented! You have made such a great contribution, but the court has not rewarded it in the slightest, you must be unwilling in your heart. ”

Don't deal with this sentence, if you answer that you are unwilling, you will be left behind with a bad grudge against the court and the officials; If you say something like "thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven", I am afraid that Du Chong will misunderstand that he is a loyal dog under Zhang Junmen, and Du Gongmei is not a living Lei Feng, how can he bring up the right-hand man under the political enemy, isn't that to strengthen the strength of the opponent?

Things have come to this point, but anyone who has a little brain is replaced by him Wang Shen, who will immediately scold Zhang Jun, and bow to the ground and throw himself into Du Chong's door.

However, Wang Shen can't do this kind of thing. He is an ambitious and ambitious man, commanding thousands of troops, how can he discredit himself. In ancient times, changing the court was to be despised by the world.

Moreover, in this way, he was involved in the political struggle between the civil officials and grandmothers of the imperial court, which was a taboo for the warriors of the Song Dynasty. When the time comes, not only will he be severely attacked by the civil officials, but I am afraid that Zhao Gou will also pay attention to himself: What do you want to do as a general with troops colluding with the court officials?

At least for now, Wang Shen can't afford this consequence.

Thinking of this, Wang Shen deliberately pretended to be angry, and then instantly hid it, and changed to a respectful appearance: "Don't dare, the Jin people invaded my Great Song Dynasty, destroyed my homeland, and slaughtered the people. ”

Although Du Chong has a very bad reputation in history, his character is also extremely inferior. Later generations mentioned this person in the book, and they all concluded that he was narrow-minded, brutal, and incompetent. But in fact, in this year, he was able to enter the official with the imperial examination, and the official was the official of the official seal. He also commanded one of the most powerful armed forces in the Southern Song Dynasty, and entered the political hall as the right minister, how could he be a mediocre person.

How can the resentment that flashed on Wang Shen's face be concealed from him, he naturally understood it in his heart, and he was also very satisfied: this Wang Shen is shrewd, and he also knows the duty of a martial artist.

At the moment, he will not go into this topic further. A smile resurfaced on his face, and he said, "Zhang Deyuan didn't reward you at the beginning, so he must have had his considerations. Moreover, the Jin army invaded Jianghuai in the south, and he was also busy with the affairs at hand, and put your business aside. Yes, he didn't lead any soldiers, and he didn't know a lot about it. This is to lead the soldiers to fight a war with clear rewards and punishments, otherwise, the soldiers will not believe, disobey, and disrespect, and the people's hearts will be scattered. Pacify Huaixi, you don't have to pay too much attention to this matter of whether you are rewarded for meritorious service, the court will not forget you meritorious soldiers. ”

Wang Shen: "Xianggong is right. ”

It stands to reason that after Du Chong said this, he would inevitably reward him for his meritorious deeds in the defense of Jiankang, and Wang Shen was also mentally prepared for this, and was thinking about what benefits to ask him for next.

However, Du Chong didn't press the table, and only asked Hu Cong to cook tea for Wang Shen, accompany him to eat refreshments, and chat.

Wang Shen is a calm person, Du Chong didn't mention it, he didn't ask, he just spoke carefully.

After a long time, Du Chong suddenly asked: "Wang Shen, I heard that your accent is from Hebei, but I don't know who you are, and there are still relatives at home?" ”

Wang Shen knew that Du Chong was probing his own bottom, and his heart sank, and he said: "If you go back to Xianggong, your subordinate is a person from Tang County, Dingzhou, West Road, Hebei Province, and the old and young in the family have already died in the war. Now he is alone all his life, and he is living in troubled times. He has said this to others many times before, Dingzhou is a repeated tug-of-war area between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State. Especially during the Northern Expedition, that area was a big battlefield. After experiencing the tragic war, it has long been in ruins, the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Now, it is occupied by the Jin State again, and even if anyone wants to check his details, they don't dare to go over.

"That's not right." Du Chong's face is a horse.

Wang Shen's heart trembled, but he still tried his best to make a calm appearance.

Du Chong said: "Why are you alone, isn't there a little lady surnamed Yue at home?" ”

Wang Shen hurriedly said: "Hello Xianggong, An Niang is a homeless person who was rescued from the chaotic army when the last general pacified the Huaixi thief rebellion, seeing that her appearance and morality are good, I cherish her heart." Moreover, the subordinate is twenty-seven years old this year, a handful of years. The so-called, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, so he intends to marry into the door to continue the incense for the Wang family, and also to have an explanation to the ancestors. ”

Du Chong smiled: "Yes, it should be." I heard that the little lady surnamed Yue is from Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, and she is also from Xiangzhou, so she is also a fellow villager. ”

After laughing, he looked at the people in the courtyard outside, pointed at Yue Yun, and asked, "Is that your brother-in-law?" ”

Wang Shen: "If you return to Xianggong, it is your subordinate wife and brother Yue Yun, who is now serving in our army." ”

"What a man who looks like an iron tower, how old is he?"

"Just turned thirteen."

"Well, yes, yes, but you have a family?" Du Chong asked again.

Wang Shen didn't understand why he asked, and was stunned: "What kind of family does a little child become?" ”

Yue Yun has just turned thirteen years old, and in later life, he is only a junior high school student, and he has not even understood what kind of marriage he is? Neither can puppy love.

Du Chong: "The old man has a family business that he wants to ask you." ”
