Chapter 57: Zhao Pu (2)
"Please Zhao Gongzi come in. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info An old voice came from inside the room.
The woman in green let out an 'oh', looked at Zhao Gu and smiled, "Zhao Gongzi, please." ”
Zhao Gu followed the woman in green into the attic, and at a glance saw an old man sitting in the center of the hall.
The old man was very old, probably in his seventies, his hair was all gray, and there were not a few strands left, and his beard was somewhat similar to a goat's beard, which was very sparse and unsightly.
He was dressed in very ordinary clothes, like an ordinary old man, but Zhao Gu believed that in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, no one would think that he was an ordinary old man.
Because according to Zhao Gu's guess, the old man is Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty!
Zhao Pu is sixty-eight years old this year, and in today's words, he will soon be rare, and he can be regarded as a long-lived person, and it is said that a long-lived person will naturally be invisibly respected, but he still has something more respectable.
He planted seedlings with Taizu Zhao Kuangyin!
Rice planting, a very common word, in the countryside, even children of a few years old will help adults with farm work, rice planting and the like are commonplace, but planting rice with Taizu is amazing!
As we all know, before Taizu Zhao Kuangyin made his career, he was just an ordinary family, in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, everyone's life was very difficult, although Taizu's father was an official, but there was no guarantee for being an official in that era, so Taizu was also a person who had suffered hardships.
And Zhao Puqi got acquainted with Taizu at that time.
In other words, he already knew Taizu when he was not Taizu, but just an ordinary person who had eaten a meal and was worried about the next meal.
The friendship between Zhao Pu and Taizu can be seen from this!
After that, Taizu slowly made his fortune, from a soldier to a general, from a spot check to an emperor, and there was always the shadow of Zhao Pu beside him.
When Kaifeng was still the imperial city of the Later Zhou Dynasty, it was Zhao Pu who set up a plan to deceive the two prime ministers at that time under the guise of an invasion of foreign enemies, and let Zhao Kuangyin take the Later Zhou army out.
On top of Chen Qiao, it was Zhao Pu who secretly planned to let the generals put the yellow robe on Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor.
After the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it was Zhao Pu who followed Taizu conscientiously, overcoming obstacles for him and stabilizing the situation, so that the Great Song Dynasty had today's atmosphere.
Later, Taizu died, and now His Majesty is on the throne, and he is even more extremely favored to Zhao Pu, which is unparalleled.
And now, this ordinary old man is sitting not far from Zhao Valley.
Zhao Gu had heard a lot about the legends of the old man, and even he had been in contact with the old man for a long time, but he had never seen it.
Old man, this is the honorific title of Zhao Pu in the Great Song Dynasty, this is what Lu Meng called him, this is what the civil and military officials called him, the same is true of the Lord of Cheshire, and the same is true of Cao Wei.
In fact, in the first meeting between Zhao Gu and the Lord of Cheshire, when the Lord of Cheshire mentioned the old man, Zhao Gu had already guessed that the old man was Zhao Pu.
Later, after Zhao Gu joined the army inexplicably, Cao Wei also mentioned the old man, and this old man was also Zhao Pu.
It can be said that although Zhao Gu and Zhao Pu have never met, they have known each other for a long time.
For this old man, Zhao Gu didn't know how to treat him, and he couldn't talk about holding grudges, although he had calculated Zhao Gu several times.
It can be said to be respect, let alone talked about, after all, Zhao Gu doesn't like this feeling of being manipulated very much.
So he had mixed feelings about Zhao Pu, so after meeting, Zhao Gu didn't greet Zhao Pu immediately, but observed him silently.
"You're here." Zhao Pu's cloudy old eyes looked at Zhao Gu and said with a smile.
Zhao Gu hugged his fists at this time: "I've seen Lord Zhao." ”
Zhao Pu waved his hand and pointed to the chair on the side: "Sit." ”
Zhao Gu sat down according to his words, and Zhao Pu said again: "Speaking of which, the old man and you are quite fateful, I heard that your hometown is Zhuozhou?" ”
"Exactly."
Zhao Pu showed a look of reminiscence, and said: "Zhuozhou, it's really a distant place, I don't know if the old man can go back there in this life." ”
Zhuozhou, very close to Youzhou, is one of the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Pu met Taizu Zhao Kuangyin in Zhuozhou, Zhao Kuangyin's hometown is in Zhuozhou, and Youzhou is Zhao Pu's hometown.
It's just that at that time, the sixteen states of Yanyun were still under the jurisdiction of the Han people, but since Shi Jingjiao gave the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao state, he could never go back.
"There will be a day." Zhao Gu said.
Zhao Pu nodded slowly: "The old man didn't want to see you so soon, and the few things you asked you to do before were to find someone to do it for you, but this time I had to meet you in person." ”
After a pause, Zhao Pu continued: "Boy, you completely disrupted my plan. ”
Zhao Gu didn't know what plan Zhao Pu was talking about, so he didn't say anything, because he knew that Zhao Pu didn't come to him to chat, he must have some purpose.
Sure enough, seeing that Zhao Gu didn't answer, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Pu's mouth: "Boy, you're playing tricks on me." Let me tell you the truth, your plan, the emperor and I both agree very much, you also see, we are recruiting new soldiers, ready to implement your plan, the old man thought at the time, ready to wait for this plan to be completed, and then see you, but after the incident happened this morning, this plan changed, so that the old man had to see you in advance. ”
Early today? Zhao Gu pondered secretly, could it be that Lu Mengxiu really turned his face with Lu Mengzheng in the early dynasty? In this way, the fun is great.
Zhao Pu coughed several times, and suddenly laughed: "You kid is bad enough, you actually let Lu Mengzheng's old boy steal his younger brother and sister, this is really happy!" ”
Zhao Gu was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Pu to be so old, and his taste was so heavy, and he couldn't help but feel that he was a hero and cherished a hero.
But after a while, Zhao Pu's face changed again, and said: "But do you know that Lu Mengzheng has already submitted his resignation to the emperor, once he really resigns, your plan will be difficult to implement, and the gains will definitely outweigh the losses." Boy, you're so impulsive this time. ”
Zhao Gu thought for a while, and said with a puzzled expression: "Who is Lu Meng?" What does it have to do with me that he stole his brother and sister? What does this have to do with my plans? ”
Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhao Gu to admit it until now, so he simply called the woman in green in and said, "Xiaozhuzi, you told him everything you saw last night." ”
Xiao Zhuzi chuckled, looked at Zhao Gu's expression full of banter, and said, "Yes, my daughter must have something to say." It is said that last night, my daughter was dressing up in Tianxue Building, and suddenly heard a young man's scolding, so she went out to take a look, and happened to see Lu Mengzheng's eldest son Lu Congjian and a young man scolding his cousin, and at this time, Zhao Gongzi happened to walk over, and then he discussed with Lu Congjian which is more important, nephew or son, and then Lu Congjian ....... ”
