Chapter 49: Concubine Wei Xian's Plea for Help
On that day, Wu Kai accepted the heroine Liang Hongyu as his goddaughter, although he felt a little awkward at first, but after getting used to it, he gave birth to an inexplicable sense of achievement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
You must know that not everyone can be called godfather by a national hero, especially a rare heroine!
It's a pity that this sense of accomplishment was thinned a lot by another person - in order to appease Gao Yu's father and son, Wu Kai had to agree to accept Gao Yanei as a registered disciple, which made his reputation in the capital a little more stinky.
Now that the status of father and daughter has been decided, there is no need to find any mansion alone, so he directly approached the Wu Mansion of Liang Hongyu's family, separated a courtyard, and assigned two maids and a servant woman to serve in the past.
said that it was a family, but in fact, as soon as the man who was the backbone died, most of the family was scattered, and the rest were only Liang Hongyu's mother and daughter, plus an aunt and a younger brother, and it was not difficult to settle.
And these little things can be done with Hu Sanniang coming forward, and what really needs Wu Kai's dedication to prepare is the ceremony of sacrificing the sky on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Therefore, Wu Kaida has been stationed in Daxiangguo Temple since the twentieth day of the lunar month, asking the monks in the temple about the ceremonial process of previous years, and after fusing it with the gimmick he prepared, he secretly conducted a rehearsal, and when everything was arranged, it was already the twenty-eighth of the lunar month.
Originally, Wu Kai planned to go home and rest for two days, to recuperate for the ceremony, but when he arrived at home, he didn't have time to play in the water with Hu Sanniang and Gu's sister-in-law, so he saw Li Cunzhong's roaring general come in and urgently summoned him into the palace to see him.
Wu Kai inquired in detail on the road, only to know that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River had deteriorated again, more than ten days ago, Fang La had conquered Yuhang County, gathered 100,000 troops and horses, and went straight to Hangzhou City - and Hangzhou City at this time can fight soldiers and horses, a total of only more than 20,000, and half of them are militia groups temporarily requisitioned by the imperial court.
Hangzhou can be said to be the center of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also a rare important town in the south, if it is conquered by thieves, it will be a major event that shocks the government and the opposition, and it is impossible to say that the thieves are so powerful, it really occupies the entire south of the Yangtze River!
At this time, Song Huizong was not nervous, so he immediately summoned the important ministers of the court, as well as Wu Kai, a capable man who predicted Fang La's uprising in advance.
The cause and effect, Wu Kai has basically mastered it, but he doesn't understand, the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang with the more than 10,000 militia groups temporarily recruited are not muddy cities, how can they be wiped out in front of the enemy in just half a month?
"Don't mention it."
Li Cunzhong said with a frown: "The imperial court only thinks that they are native to their hometown, and they can also occupy some geographical advantages, who knows that these southern barbarians are all masters of eating inside and outside, and many people secretly believe in Namanichaeism!" In addition, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are tired from south to north and from north to south, not to mention, they still owe a lot of food and wages, so they naturally complain, and when these two are combined, what kind of military spirit is there? ! ā
Tut~
In the final analysis, it is still the pot that the imperial court does not pay attention to the local Xiang army.
If Wu Kai remembers correctly, it seems that among the Western Army, the Border Army, and the Forbidden Army, all those who are on standby on the Song-Liao border have been making double rings in the past two months - the Jiangnan Xiang Army has rushed over thousands of miles, and Baba has been driven back, but they haven't even fished the hammer, so it's strange that they can be happy!
However, this also made Wu Kai feel a little more at ease, it seems that his birth has not greatly changed the course of history, and this Holy Duke Fang La still has to rely on Tong Guan, Han Shizhong and others to completely calm down.
As for Wu Song's safety, he didn't worry too much, first, Wu Song secretly carried some firearms, and took them out to defend himself at a critical moment, which was definitely a god to kill the gods and Buddhas; Second, the Red Turban Army is just a militia group, and it stands to reason that it will not attract much firepower from Fang La.
And even if Wu Song is hot-headed, there is still Luan Tingyu watching, so he will not be in danger.
It's just that Wu Kai didn't expect that Luan Tingyu went south this time, but he was also fascinated by the words 'meritorious service', and he wanted to glorify his ancestors, so he was naturally not as calm and calm as usual, so the Red Turban Army only defended in Hangzhou for a few days, until the loss of troops and the strength was greatly reduced, and he finally woke up.
Without further ado.
However, it was said that Wu Kai entered the palace and went to the left side of the vertical arch hall again, but this time Song Huizong did not summon him to the palace to discuss matters, but arranged for him to rest nearby for a while, and then summoned him after waiting for the meeting technology.
After waiting in the side hall for about half an hour, Wu Kai didn't wait for Song Huizong to summon him, but he waited for an uninvited guest - Zhao Gou, the king of Guangping County!
I saw that the future Song Gaozong's face was flustered, tiptoeing and cautiously into the side hall, and he immediately closed the door with his backhand, his little face turned white with fright, and his chest was embarrassed.
Wu Kai was not in a hurry to pick up the stubble, and when he was a little breathing, he asked kindly: "I don't know why the little prince is coming?" ā
"Zen Master!"
Because he had already learned the truth about 'King Kang' from his mother, Zhao Gou's attitude this time was much more respectful, solemnly clasped his palms together and saluted, and then said hurriedly: "Please also ask the Zen master to think of some ideas to help my mother and concubine survive this catastrophe!" ā
Concubine Wei Xian is in trouble?
Because she was mistaken for a noble person by Concubine Wei Xian last time, it is not unusual for her to ask her son for help, but how does Wu Kai know what difficulties she has encountered?
But looking at Zhao Gou like that, he seems to be sure that he has calculated the cause and effect - Wu Kai is embarrassed to ask in detail?
Fortunately, Zhao Gou is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his IQ is not very high.
But it turned out that Concubine Wei Xian was in front of Song Huizong that day, and the things he said for him somehow reached the ears of Lin Lingsu and Wang Zixi.
When the 800-mile expedited military information was delivered today, it happened that Wang Zaixi was by Song Huizong's side, and he immediately used the topic to play, saying that Song Huizong had been hindered by a strong yin qi recently, and the divine power of the Son of Heaven was dim and unknown, so the officers and soldiers were confused by Fang La, which led to such an unfavorable battle situation!
Recently, Concubine Wei Xian has almost been favored by herself, if Song Huizong believes this nonsense, even if he doesn't put Concubine Wei Xian into the cold palace, he will never spoil her again!
Therefore, after Concubine Wei Xian got the tip, she was immediately shocked that the six gods had no master, and after thinking about it, she could only pin her hopes on Wu Kai - she originally planned to send someone to ask for help, but it happened that Wu Kai was recruited into the palace, so she directly asked her son to come forward in person, so as not to divulge secrets.
This Concubine Wei Xian can also be regarded as being affected by Wu Kai, coupled with Zhao Gou's future potential stock, Wu Kai naturally can't sit idly by, his mind turned a few times, and he suddenly thought about it, and hurriedly asked: "Little prince, but I don't know that Concubine Xian usually has symptoms of fear of heights?" ā
