Chapter 0602: The Virtue of a Gentleman

Gao Baorong came to Guanzhong, although he brought the entire family members and some belongings, but he was not completely escorted by Zhou Xingfeng and others in the form of prisoners of war, he brought his own 500 guards, and was accompanied by his servant Sun Guangxian.

Sun Guangxian, the word Mengwen, a native of Shuzhong, was born in the first year of the restoration of Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty, is now fifty-eight years old, and has experienced the entire troubled era from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties in his life, and is a famous poet of the Huajian School. During the later Tang Dynasty, Meng Zhixiang led his troops to destroy Qianshu, Sun Guangxian avoided the war and went to Jiangling, got acquainted with Liang Zhen, the mastermind of the Nanping Shogunate, and was recommended to Gao Jixing, the king of Wuxin, as the secretary, and has been in the shogunate since then, serving the three generations of Nanping monarchs.

In fact, the king name of "Nanping" was canonized in the second year of Tongguang of Zhuangzong in the Later Tang Dynasty, and Gao Jixing never called the emperor. This is mainly due to the persuasion of the mastermind Liang Zhen. Liang Zhen was a Jinshi at the end of the Tang Dynasty, although he was retained by Gao Ji Xingqiang, he refused to serve, and only gave advice to the Gao family as a guest, and his strategy was only one: to protect the territory and the people, and to do good things to the court.

It can be said that this is Jingnan's best policy. Because at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Later Liang Dynasty, the previous Jingnan Jiedu envoy Cheng Na united with the two towns of Wuping in Langzhou and Wu'an in Tanzhou to rescue Du Hong, but the army poured out of the nest and was attacked by the two towns of Wuping and Wu'an in the rear Jiangling, thus being defeated and killed. Therefore, since the three generations of the Gao family took possession of Jingnan, they have always pursued this strategy and have been able to gain a foothold in troubled times.

Now forced to surrender by the Great Zhou, although Gao Baorong reacted slowly, but he was still very worried in his heart, he thought he would go to Tokyo, but he was actually sent to Guanzhong, all the way was scared, and called Sun Guangxian to make up for many of Zhang Yue's life deeds, but now he was courteous to the place, so he sent Gao Baomiao to test it, and finally relieved himself after getting the return, but he didn't dare to hold it up, so he supported the sick body and reluctantly got out of the car, and Sun Guangxian and Gao Baoqiao were supported by Sun Guangxian and Gao Baomiao.

In terms of identity, Gao Baorong and Zhang Yue are both titles of county kings, and the scattered officials and actual positions canonized by the Great Zhou are only Jingnan Jiedu envoys, school inspectors, school officials, and guardians. However, Zhang Yue is the Shou Situ, the inspector Taishi, the Tongping Zhangshi, the general of the right prison guard, and the deputy privy envoy, the military affairs of Quan Yongxing, the northwest border are all deployed, and the Jieyue is in charge, and he actually has the entire Guanxi land, and this status is a high judgment.

Gao Baorong was sick and fat, walking lightly and weakly, looking up and seeing three military ministers dressed in purple robes and jade belts, but with a big beard, surrounded by a young man dressed in a purple silk robe and a county king's dress, with a wide forehead and thick eyebrows and square face, and a straight posture, he stepped forward and stood firm, broke free from the hands of the two entourage, clasped his fists with both hands and bowed and said: "Jingnan Gaode is long...... Meet His Royal Highness the King of Longxi! ”

When Zhang Yue heard this, he turned his head to look at Gao Baorong and the three of them, and hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "King Nanping has worked hard all the way, I heard that your health is not safe, and you will go to the post hall with a certain person to rest, and how about asking Lang to be treated by Chinese medicine when you enter the city later?" ”

It is said that the king of the county can also call himself "lonely", but in these years, the king of the county has long been worthless, and all countries in the world can pull out a large number of votes. However, if you call others and have a higher status than yourself, you will be honored according to the highest rank or title.

"Thank you King Longxi for your kindness, you can still support it!" Gao Baorong also looked up at Zhang Yue, on the way to Guanzhong, he heard some things about Zhang Yue before he left Tokyo, as well as the news of Zhao Kuangyin's mutiny and defection, and secretly regretted it in his heart, but at that time, Zhou Jun came too suddenly, and Jingnan was not prepared at all.

Zhang Yue looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile, Gao Baorong was only thirty or forty years old, but his face was a little old, he was panting when he spoke, and his voice was rustling, probably because of his illness, so he nodded and said: "King Nanping is a guest from afar, please!" ”

"The king of Longxi is powerful in the west, the merit is in Sheji, and the minister of a foreign vassal is attached to the tail Ji!" Gao Baorong humbly gave way.

Zhang Yue is most annoyed by this kind of humility in the officialdom, sometimes when he encounters an official who doesn't know how to change, he has to pull and pull the humility for a long time in this kind of thing, and immediately smiled sideways and strode first. Sun Guangxian and Gao Baoxuan were about to help Gao Baorong to keep up, Shi Yanchao snorted beside him, and followed Zhang Yue's footsteps, causing Li Wanquan and Yang Chongxun to be embarrassed for a while, and repeatedly bowed to Gao Baorong to show humility, but they had to follow.

Gao Baorong and the three of them were a little dumbfounded when they were left aside, and Sun Guangxian smiled and said: "This King of Longxi is young and respectable, but he can not be arrogant or boring, but it is rare!" Those martial arts handsomes are unruly and short-sighted, how can they govern the place, no wonder the king of Longxi wants to withdraw the domain, now it is just right! ”

"We should have gone to Tokyo to present the household registration album of Jingnan Sanzhou, but we were sent to Guanzhong, and the name is not right, how should we deal with ourselves?" Gao Baorong asked with some uneasiness.

Sun Guangxian comforted: "If you come, you will be safe, the king of Longxi has just won Jingnan and attacked Bashu, and entered Guanzhong to harvest the town, it is really a fight with elimination, such a clever strategy must be assisted by a powerful strategist, you should know that treating my king well is deeply helpful to its great cause, and this trip is not to blame!" ”

Gao Baorong pondered for a moment, followed all the way into the post hall lobby, and was guided by Zhang Yue to sit down on the upper road on the left, and Zhang Yue sat down opposite the upper right head, and did not sit in the middle of the main seat, every detail reflected respect, which made Gao Baorong feel greatly moved.

"King Nanping, please use tea!" Zhang Yue stretched out his right hand flat and raised it to signal, took a sip of the teacup and put it down, and said: "King Nanping has traveled all the way, have you heard about what happened in Tokyo?" I don't know what to think? ”

"This ......" Gao Baorong was stunned, and replied: "Naturally, I have heard that Zhao Yuanlang was favored by the first emperor, but if he acts rebelliously, he will be spurned by the world!" ”

Zhang Yue chuckled lightly and said, "Hehe...... Don't hide it from you, Zhang Mou also used some extraordinary means to leave Beijing, and it is said that it was not done by human ministers, so what does King Nanping think of the "Guanxi Withdrawal Order"? ”

When Gao Baorong heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and stammered, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, and his lips trembled and he didn't know what to say. Someone bluntly said that he was not a minister, neither a minister, but also a rebel? The "Decree on the Withdrawal of the Guanxi Domain" is naturally illegal without the emperor's edict, and it is even more so to attack Jingnan rashly.

Sun Guangxian saw that his lord couldn't answer, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he hurriedly bowed and said: "The deputy envoy of Jingnan Jiedu and Sun Mengwen in the trial imperial history visited the king of Longxi, please let Xiaochen reply on behalf of my highness!" ”

"Although the king of Nanping has not officially accepted the land, it seems that the shogunate has been dissolved, right?" Zhang Yue smiled lightly, with a calm and calm attitude of a superior, and reminded him leisurely, but said: "However, since the king of Nanping is sick, of course Mr. Meng Wen can reply on his behalf, and Zhang also wants to hear your high opinions!" ”

Sun Guangxian was stunned for a while, thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and replied: "The king of Longxi said frankly and bluntly, although he was disrespectful to the court, but since the rebellion of the Anshi of the Tang Dynasty in the world, the town has repeatedly rebelled, and the town will be embraced and coerced, ignoring the discipline and law, and the world is deeply suffering. The Tokyo court fought for many years, recovering Huainan and Keyouzhou, and the feats were unprecedented, but they stopped here as soon as the first emperor went.

The king of Longxi should leave Beijing at the right time, do not bully orphans and widows, do what the court can not do, although the behavior is disrespectful, but it is the virtue of a gentleman, in line with the will of the corporal and the people, the world is obvious to all, as long as you insist, there will be achievements! ”

"Haha...... Mr. Meng Wen has no arguments! Zhang Yue was a little embarrassed, stroked his forehead and smiled bitterly: "But...... That orphan and widow is indeed sympathetic, if some things are done, then they must be done all the time, Zhang Mou thinks that he is not a vicious person, I hope there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain......"

"This is inevitable, it depends on whether the king of Longxi will go smoothly in Shu!" Sun Guangxian is quick to think and naturally sees through the mystery behind these things.

Zhang Yue smiled and said nothing, Shi Yanchao, Li Wanquan, and Yang Chongxun looked at each other, they were not their own people, but they were not hostile, and suddenly they understood the meaning of these words, and their faces became a little weird.

Sun Guangxian arched his hand, turned back to Gao Baorong's side and sat down, and the master and the two muttered something quietly. After this conversation, the future relationship between the two parties gradually surfaced, and the status was defined as master and slave.

So as the future superior, Zhang Yue must make a promise, otherwise, if he robs other people's territory, why should he let people show their loyalty. If you want a horse to run, you have to feed the grass first! But this is exquisite, the more wise the superior, the less easily it is to make a clear promise.

"The king of Nanping dedicated his land to return to the dynasty, and he understood the righteousness, and he was really an example in this troubled era. You can go to Yongxing Military Mansion to live in peace first, and there will be no shortage of daily flowers! Zhang Yue smiled and spoke, as if he didn't give any benefits, but it showed that you were politically correct.

That at least reveals that safety is guaranteed, or...... The wealth of children and grandchildren is also guaranteed, which is nothing to lose for Gao Baorong.

Half an hour later, the host and guest sides set off together at the post station, chatting and laughing and leading the carriage and horse team into the Yongning Gate in the south of the city, all the way to the front of Yongan Street in the west of the city, and sure enough, there is a mansion with a plaque of Nanping Wangfu.

Gao Baorong felt deeply favored, arranged for his family to stay, and immediately went to the hall of the government with Sun Guangxian and Gao Baomiao with Zhang Yue, and officially dedicated the book.

After negotiating with Gao Baorong for a while, Zhang Yue asked Wen Yuankai to send him back to the house on his behalf. It just so happened that Liu Guangye came to report, and Feng Qianhou escorted his family and court envoys to Lintong.

Zhang Yue was overjoyed, and sent his own soldiers to the back house to inform Bian Yu to prepare. Since he led Liu Guangye and other three hundred fast horses out of the city, they just arrived at the Baqiao in the northeast of the city, and the opposite chariot and horse team also arrived.

Feng Qianhou still looked so unfazed, and when he saw Zhang Yue coming, he only gave up his hand from afar, and continued to accompany Hu Zai and others beside him to ride slowly across the Ba Bridge, and he didn't get off the horse next to the official road.

It's all his own people, but he didn't have anything to say, so Zhang Yue ignored him, and when the next few carriages came, the children were already waving happily and shouting at the carriage window.
