Ochre is some distance from Jiankang. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It took about two hours to rush from home, and it was already noon when I arrived here, which also confirmed Wang Ningzhi's sentence: I won't come back at noon.

Since Huan Wen stationed the army here, the travel of people here will always be checked, after all, it is also a military place, the ox cart stopped at the entrance, Wang Ningzhi lifted the curtain and showed his head: "Yangzhou Shepherd Wang Ningzhi, I had an appointment with Duke Huan before, and I came to see him." ”

Although he is a Yangzhou pastor, he has not yet taken office, so naturally there is no seal, so he really embarrassed the soldiers who met him, this is difficult to verify, it takes a lot of time, but soon, Wang Ningzhi saw the familiar back walking in the barracks, and immediately pointed and said: "That's Wang Yuanlin?" You call him here, and he can testify to me. ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, hurriedly ran over, and after a while, Wang Xun came over with a smile, saw that it was Wang Ningzhi, immediately smiled, and said: "I can testify, this is my cousin Wang Shuping, and he is also the new Yangzhou pastor, and the reason why he did not seal the letter is because he has not yet taken office." ”

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly released the man.

Wang Ningzhi simply got out of the car, followed Wang Xun to Huan Wen's residence, chatting while walking, the two have not seen each other for a long time, but now when they meet, they have changed: Wang Ningzhi needless to say, he was promoted to Yangzhou pastor and moved to live in Wuyi Lane; Wang Xun performed well in Huanwen's military camp, and had a good relationship with Xie Xuan and Xi Chao, and is now quite valued by Huanwen.

After saying some things about the Wang family, Wang Xun took Wang Ningzhi to a house and stopped, and said: "This is the residence of Duke Huan, after you finish talking, remember to go to me, I call Shangjingxing and Youdu, let's get together." ”

Wang Ningzhi agreed with a smile, watched Wang Xun leave, and walked in after the little guy outside the house reported.

In the room, there was only one middle-aged man, thin, and not as handsome as the nobles of the family, but as if he had been weathered, only two eyes were like eagle eyes, blazing, and at the moment Wang Ningzhi entered, he hit him sharply.

"Shuping, let's meet again." Motioning for Wang Ningzhi to take a seat, Huan Wen spoke, his voice a little hoarse.

Seeing that Huan Wen signaled that he was casual, Wang Ningzhi was not restrained, and poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I was drunk on the wedding day, and I haven't thanked Duke Huan for going over in person, which is really an honor." ”

Huan Wen waved his hand and looked at Wang Ningzhi's gaze back: "I can conclude from your usual words and deeds that Shuping should not be a person who likes to be polite, since this is the case, you don't have to scruples, just say what you say in your letter." ”

Wang Ningzhi coughed dryly, took a sip of tea, and said: "I heard that the Huiji Wangfu was going to marry Yuyao to Zhongdao, so I was a little anxious, so I made this decision and wrote a letter directly to Duke Huan...... However, what was said in the letter is true, Yu Yao and I are indeed in love, and I hope that Duke Huan will understand. ”

"Shuping has a crush on Princess Yuyao?" Huan Wen's face was strange, "What should Jiang do then?" Presumably, with Yu Yao's identity, he must not be a concubine, but marry Zhong Dao, and he has no such concerns. ”

"This is not to worry about Gong Huan, since Duke Huan let me speak bluntly, then concise and to the point, whether Duke Huan canceled the marriage between Zhongdao and Yuyao is nothing more than interests, once Zhongdao and Yuyao marry, at least it can play a moderating role between Duke Huan and the court, so as to reduce the court's suspicion of Duke Huan, if I want Duke Huan to cancel the marriage, I must come up with more attractive interests than this, but so?" Judging from his own experience, Huan Wen is obviously not a self-proclaimed celebrity, but is really a pragmatic person as recorded in later rumors, so Wang Ningzhi did not beat around the bush.

Huan Wen poured himself another cup of hot tea: "Exactly, but it is obvious that the marriage has great benefits......"

"Before I say my exchange chips, I wonder if Duke Huan is interested in listening to me analyze and analyze the marriage?"

"Listen up." Huan Wen is very sincere.

Wang Ningzhi said confidently: "Well-read, let us know that the comfort obtained by the so-called marriage is all the flowers and mist in the water, unpredictable, but it is obvious that in the end they are all shattered." Then look at this marriage, it is impossible to tie Duke Huan and the court forever through marriage, I guess Duke Huan just wants a temporary buffer, before that, Duke Huan had gone to Jiankang to lobby and try his best to achieve the Northern Expedition, but there have been people who have been blocking it, and it has not succeeded. And now that there is a tendency to marry, but still there is no support from the king of Huiji, with all due respect, for Duke Huan, who is desperate for the Northern Expedition, it doesn't matter much whether this marriage is successful or not......"

Huan Wen listened to Wang Ningzhi's analysis without changing his face, and nodded from time to time, but after listening, his face did not change, but said lightly: "What Shuping said, I know everything, I don't know what you say about this?" ”

"Could it be that Gong Huan thinks I'll talk about it?" Wang Ningzhi smiled and shook his head, "Don't talk about those false ones, the so-called unanimous agreement is nothing more than using my strengths to make up for Huangong's shortcomings, what I said earlier is just to state Huangong's shortcomings, so as to contrast with my next strengths." ”

Huan Wen took a deep breath and stared at Wang Ningzhi: "Langya Wang's support? ”

"Exactly." Wang Ningzhi leaned forward, "I put all my chips up from the beginning, the choice is not in me, we just hope to reach an agreement...... Although the Langya Wang clan has begun to decline, it is still a top-level gatekeeper, and now whether the DPRK and China are on the Northern Expedition should be evenly matched, and the non-fighting faction has a slight advantage, right? ”

"That's right." Huan Wen nodded, "That's why I want to go to Jiankang." ”

"Then this will be easy to do, if the Langya Wang clan does not say all, even if only half of the Wang clan sets an example and supports the Northern Expedition, the result is ...... What does Gong Huan think? ”

Huan Wen didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a long time and raised his head: "How much support can you win from the Wang family?" ”

"At least the current head of the Wang family, my cousin Wang Xuanchen (Wang Kunzi) is supportive." Wang Ningzhi naturally couldn't tell the estimate.

Huan Wen frowned, and his eagle eyes pierced Wang Ningzhi's face: "Shuping, you are very insincere." ”

"I'm sincere." Wang Ningzhi stretched out his hand and pointed on the case, "But why I did this, Duke Huan knows, I am for Yuyao, because it is an emergency, I naturally have not said it in the family, I have no way of knowing how much support I can win." ”

"Then why did I promise you?" Xu thought of something, and Huan Wen's brows stretched.

"Time, the most important thing that Huan Gong lacks now is time, so as long as Huan Gong can delay the divination for a while, I will go to the family to lobby, and then how to choose, and then Huan Gong will decide." Drawing a horizontal line on the table with tea, Wang Ningzhi raised his head, "How?" (To be continued.) )
