Chapter 424: Zeng Gongliang
That night, Xiao Mo and his entourage were dressed in plain clothes, holding Meng Qiuxiang's coffin, hurrying slowly, and finally advanced Chen Liu after dark, and then chartered an inn for everyone to rest. ()
It is expected that it will take some time to go on such a journey.
Because you can't take the waterway!
Early the next morning, Xiao Mo and several ladies continued to hurry.
This time, because it was a mourning period, all the women wore plain white clothes with a corset, and they all looked a little heroic.
Especially Yang Yanqi, the whole woman is like a chivalrous person.
In addition to Yang Yanqi, there are also two men with good skills Zhao Guanying and Ma Yidao, as well as some guards transferred by Yunxue from Yuwang's Mansion, which can be said to be a large number of people, so along the way, it has also attracted the attention of many pedestrians on the road!
Everyone began to talk to each other, and finally inquired about the innkeeper where Xiao Mo and his party stayed last night, only to know that this group of people was the famous horse master Xiao Mo and his family and servants!
So everyone was amazed, and in the crowd, a well-dressed man rolled his eyes when he heard this, and then ran quickly towards the gate of Chen Liu!
Finally arrived in front of the city gate, the man intercepted the place where Xiao Mo and his party went, and stood alone in the path of Meng Qiuxiang's coffin!
This is disrespectful to the dead!
Xiao Mo's face sank on the horse, and there was no need for Xiao Mo to speak, Zhao Guanying and Ma Yidao beside him had already slapped their horses and walked towards the man.
When the man saw Zhao Guanying and Ma running towards him with a knife, left and right, he didn't panic, but slowly patted the dust off his body, and after tidying himself up decently, he knelt down in front of Meng Qiuxiang's coffin!
This action made Zhao Guanying and Ma Yidao can't help but pull the reins, and then look at the man's next move in confusion.
The man bowed four times to Meng Qiuxiang's coffin, then slowly got up and shouted to Xiao Mo in the distance: "Master Horse, Zeng Gongliang is below, does Master Horse know if you are below?" ”
Zeng Gongliang?
Xiao Mo frowned when he heard this, he was not this person in the image?
After thinking about it again, Xiao Mo's eyes suddenly lit up!
Don't...... This person is ...... The great god?
That Zeng Gongliang, the author of "Wu Zongjing"?
Xiao Mo hurriedly dismounted, came to Zeng Gongliang's side and asked, "Your Excellency is Zeng Gongliang?" ”
Zeng Gongliang straightened his chest and said: "It's exactly below!" ”
"Brother Zeng's treasure is ......," Xiao Mo asked uncertainly.
Zeng Gongliang replied: "Ming Zhong! ”
Zeng Gongliang, the word Mingzhong!
Is it really him?
Xiao Mo was excited, but he was still not sure whether this Zeng Gongliang would be the same person as Zeng Gongliang who wrote "The Essentials of the Martial Arts" in the An Dynasty!
So Xiao Mo continued to ask, "What position is Brother Zeng in now?" ”
Zeng Gongliang sighed when he heard this, and said to Xiao Mo: "Ashamed! Master Horse, don't hide it, Ming Zhong is a ...... I didn't do well in the exam, and I was planning to go south and return to my hometown! ”
In other words, it's off the list!
Didn't do well in the exam?
Xiao Mo became interested, thought about it, and said to Zeng Gongliang: "Where is Brother Ming Zhong's hometown?" ”
Zeng Gongliang said: "Quanzhou, Fujian! ”
Hearing Zeng Gongliang's answer, Xiao Mo was somewhat sure of this Zeng Gongliang's identity, so he said to Zeng Gongliang: "Brother Zeng, if you don't give up, are you willing to go with me?" ”
Zeng Gongliang nodded happily when he heard this, in fact, this was the purpose of him who came out to stop Xiao Mo and his party!
In this way, among Xiao Mo's group, there is one more companion!
The capital, above the early dynasty!
This is the first time that Zhao Ziji presided over the early dynasty after becoming the prince, Zhao Quan was much more cheerful after yesterday's turmoil of the prince's blessing, he had the energy to preside over the early dynasty, but Zhao Ziji's performance made Zhao Quan very pleased, so Zhao Quan decided to sit on the dragon chair and watch the prince preside over the early dynasty!
Zhao Ziji stood beside Zhao Quan, and first the eunuch next to him announced: "If there is something to do, play early, and there is nothing to retreat!" ”
After the eunuch finished speaking, Ji Ping walked out, hugged him and said, "The minister has a play!" ”
Zhao Ziji glanced at Zhao Quan, and saw that Zhao Quan's eyes were slightly closed, his face was expressionless, and he didn't intend to make a sound at all, Zhao Ziji nodded secretly and said to Ji Ping: "Ji Aiqing has something to say!" ”
After all, he is only the crown prince, so naturally he can't just say like Zhao Quan: "Quasi-play!" "That's it.
Treat old ministers, especially the richest minister, Zhao Ziji still has to be polite.
Ji Ping said: "The flood season of the Yellow River is approaching, and it is advisable to send people to the prime minister of the river to govern the river......
The flood season of the Yellow River, this is not a trivial matter, the An Dynasty began to govern the Yellow River from the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it has been ineffective, almost every year when the flood season comes, the DPRK and China will be nervous.
After all, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River involve too many places, and if you are not careful, if you are not careful, if you flood, the loss will be great!
So Zhao Ziji asked Ji Ping: "Who does Ji Aiqing think is better?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Ping glanced at the people in the court, and then said, "The old minister thinks that he should send an old man!" ”
Old-fashioned people?
Isn't it Jiang Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?
Everyone's eyes looked at Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye stood up and said, "Your Majesty! Your Highness! The minister has already sorted out the official documents with his subordinates, and he will be able to go to Henan in a few days! ”
Henan during the An Dynasty was south of the Yellow River!
Zhao Ziji glanced at Zhao Quan when he heard this, and had some intention of asking for Zhao Quan's opinion, but Zhao Quan still had his eyes slightly closed.
Governing the Yellow River is not a trivial matter, but Zhao Quan still does not speak, which fully explains his attitude.
He supports Zhao Ziji!
Zhao Ziji gritted his teeth and said, "Then please ask Jiang Aiqing!" ”
Jiang Ye nodded and stepped aside.
Ji Ping also stepped aside, and then Zhao Ziji asked, "Do you Aiqing still have this music?" ”
The court was silent for a moment, and then Cao Gang gritted his teeth and walked out, and said to Zhao Ziji: "Your Highness, the old minister, please play, go to Shandong to deal with the aftermath and suppression of bandits, and also recommend one person to govern Shandong with the minister!" ”
This remark was full of uproar!
Cao Gang is the auxiliary minister, the chief military and political officer of the country, and he actually personally asked to go to Shandong?
Everyone knows that now that Li Zhun has fallen back to the capital, and is on his way to the capital, Shandong must have someone with prestige who can suppress it!
But after the rebellion of King Qin, there are only a few old ministers left in the court.
Shen Renyi is old, Ji Ping is the first assistant, Shi Zhongyuan is the deputy minister, and the others are ...... Either the prestige is insufficient, or the soldiers are not good at using soldiers, think about it, it is true that only Cao Gang can be qualified for this position!
But...... Cao Gang is gone, who will fill his vacancy?
When Zhao Ziji heard Cao Gang's words, he was also dumbfounded, and involuntarily glanced at Zhao Quan who was on the dragon chair.
Zhao Quan's eyelids moved, and then he finally couldn't sit still, looking at Cao Gang suspiciously!
