Chapter 31: Face to face
"Are you saying that someone recommended Deng Hua and wanted him to be appointed as the Yang Chief?" When Wang Mang heard the news sent by Tian Li, he was very surprised that there were people fighting in Dangyang, a place with many bandits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"Who recommended it? ā
"The subordinates are incompetent, they didn't find out, after the chapter of Xiao Ming's Mansion was submitted to His Majesty, some officials immediately recommended Deng Hua, but it was rejected by His Majesty, and then the copy stored in the Prime Minister's Mansion disappeared."
Wang Mang snorted: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is becoming more and more useless, it seems that the proposal of the prince has made His Majesty no longer trust the new Marquis, and those officials dare to stumble on him." Wang Mang took out the map, "Isn't Dangyang a serious bandit?" Why would anyone still fight? ā
Tian Li explained: "The prince was born in Chang'an and grew up in Chang'an, and it is inevitable that he does not understand his feelings. Although there are many bandits in Dangyang, both bandits and ordinary people need iron, food and salt, most of which need to be transported from other places, and Nanyang's ironware is famous all over the world. "Princes, please see," Tian Li took out the map, "from Wanxian County through Yushui, turn to the water into Nanjun, go ashore in Ruoxian, and take the land route through Dangyang to Jiangling. Dangyang is the only place to go to Jiangling in Wanxian County. ā
Wang Mang looked at the map, was silent, and said after a while: "That is to say, although Dangyang is chaotic, it is also very promising." ā
"No," Tian Li replied, "Now that Dangyang is controlled by several wealthy clans, the bandits dare not make a fuss here." ā
"The bandits don't dare to make trouble, but they just collude with the bandits and spend money to buy peace." Wang Mang waved his hand, "There are a few old men from San Lang's Zhuangzi, who are said to be alchemists, but is there such a thing?" ā
"But my uncle and grandson invited them here in the hope that they could find a medicine for the crops to cure diseases, which my uncle and grandson called pesticides, and they are wandering around the fields these days."
"As long as they are safe, Ben Hou doesn't care about raising a few more people. Uncle and grandson are going to Chang'an in a few days, have you chosen the guards?
"According to San Lang Jun's meaning, Wei Xuan and a few of them are still in charge, they have been with San Lang Jun for nearly a year, and they know San Lang Jun's style of acting."
"It's half according to Saburo's meaning. Now that these scholars are going to Chang'an to take the exam, all parties should be concerned about the future of their children and nephews, and a fight is indispensable, so that people in Chang'an can pay more attention to avoid being taken advantage of. ā
Wang Mang thought for a moment and said: "Ning Zhi mentioned before that after the death of Yangxiang Marquis Zhu Bo, he left orphans and widows with difficulties in life, and he thought that his concubine was bought by Benhou and given to him. Ben Hou couldn't ignore it, and arranged for someone to send money to their mother and son every month. ā
"My subordinates will do it."
At this moment, Wang An is accompanying his mother Wang to inspect the gifts given to various families in Chang'an. Wang An took out a horizontal knife for his mother to see, and Wang smiled and said, "This is the gift you prepared for the eighth uncle?" Wang An nodded
Wang said: "Your eighth uncle cares most about his son, if you give this knife to his son, your eighth uncle will be even happier." You don't have to bother with gifts, my mother has already prepared them for you. With that, he asked the servant to carry up a few boxes. While introducing Wang An, he said: "The Queen Mother wants the Wang family to be thrifty, and she doesn't dare to go against her will for her mother, so the things you prepare are not valuable, but they represent your heart for your elders." This box of gifts is for your maternal grandfather and grandmother, your maternal grandfather is not in good health, you can ask Shen Tuchen to show him; This box is for your third uncle, Wang Shun, Marquis of Anyang, and this is a collection of famous works by your father; This box is a gift for your eighth uncle, and it is the "Art of War" copied by your father's own hand. Coupled with the gift you gave to his son, your eighth uncle will be even happier. ā
Wang An saluted his mother Wang: "The tired mother is thoughtful for the child, and the child is deeply ashamed. ā
Wang said: "San Lang can be cured, my mother is very happy, and she is also happy when she is tired." ā
Madame beckoned, and a maid handed Madame a piece of cloth, "This is Erya's deed of sale, San Lang can hand it over to him, San Lang mentioned the marriage of Tian Dalang and Erya, Wei Niang has discussed with Da Lang's mother, and will arrange for them to complete the marriage on a certain date." Saburo can rest assured. ā
Wang An opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.
"Does Saburo want to ask about the big girl?" Wang An nodded, and his mother Wang said: "San Lang only needs to know that the eldest girl was saved by her mother a few years ago, and she did not sell herself to the Wang family. ā
Wang An walked on the official road leading to the county seat with doubts: "It is not an ordinary family to let my mother come forward to save me?" What happened a few years ago? Isn't it that the first emperor died, the new monarch ascended the throne, and then the court changed many people? Mother's speech is also hidden, which is really annoying. ā
"Who's up ahead?" Wei Xuan suddenly shouted, waking Wang An up.
"Deng Hua, the brother of Deng Chen, returned to Xinye County in the next, and heard that my brother had offended the son of the Marquis of Xindu, and he was deeply disturbed in his heart, and went to Wangjiazhuang several times to apologize. As a result, Zhuang Ding said that the son of the Marquis of Xindu was immersed in hard work and could not see guests. had no choice but to wait for my uncle and grandson on the way back. ā
Everyone said this, and Wang An couldn't hide anymore, so he had to hit his horse forward and salute Deng Hua: "Since being recommended by Xiao Mingfu, my family has asked me to study the "Five Classics" hard, not only how much to read every day, but also to write down my experience. For Brother Deng's invitation, he had to retreat. I hope Brother Deng will forgive me. ā
Deng Hua replied: "When I was in Yuzhang, I heard that the son of the Marquis of Xindu was frightened and suddenly recovered, and at that time, I sent someone to send a letter to my younger brother Deng Chen, who stayed in Xinye, and asked him to go to congratulate, but the person who sent the letter had an accident in Dangyang, and the letter was not delivered, and the younger brother was young and vigorous, and he had a misunderstanding with his uncle and grandson, and he apologized deeply. After saying that, he gave another salute.
Wang An replied: "Please rest assured Brother Deng, after going down to Dangyang, he will definitely go all out to arrest the murderer, seek justice for the dead, and return Dangyang to a bright future." Looking up at the sky, Wang An continued: "Please forgive Brother Deng, the homework assigned by my family has not yet been completed, and I need to return to Wangjiazhuang as soon as possible to study, and then set up a banquet to entertain Brother Deng after returning from Chang'an." In the next farewell. Wang An arched his hand and rode away from Deng Hua's side. Wei Xuan and the others rode horses to follow.
Deng Chen asked Deng Hua: "This will let him go?" ā
Deng Hua waved his horsewhip: "This kid has moved out of Xinduhou, can I still stop him?" ā
"Then will he go to be Yang?"
Deng Hua looked at the direction Wang An left: "Not only will he go, he also wants to exterminate the bandits." ā
"It's better to let those bandits teach him a lesson, don't think that the surname Wang can blind him."
Deng Hua looked at his younger brother: "Wang An sent the heads of several well-known bandits in Nanjun to the Taishou Mansion, which is the reason why Xiao Ming Mansion is willing to recommend Wang An." Whether it's true or not, Wang An either has someone to help him or someone under him. ā
