Half a month later, just when the auspicious tide in Liaodong gradually receded, Jiangdong, which was far away in Jianye, fell into a complete madness because of the arrival of Bailu.

In October of the first year of Jianxing, Yang Tan escorted Xiangrui Bailu to Jianye safely.

This time, the people of Liaodong came to Jianye to be warmly welcomed by the king of Langya, not only sent the new prime minister's mansion Sizhi Liu Kui, Zuo Changshi Diao Xie, and Ningyuan general Wang Dao three confidants out of the city to greet him, but also held a grand welcome ceremony for him in the Langya Palace.

Director Wang, Diao Xie, and Liu Kui stood on the dock, looking at the ships that were gradually approaching in the distance, each thinking about different things. After a while, someone came to report that the auspicious white deer offered by Liaodong was about to arrive at the wharf.

Liu Kui snorted and said to Director Wang and Diao Xie beside him: "It's finally here." Let's go, Brother Mao Hongxian, Brother Xuan Liang and I will go together to greet Xiangrui. ”

Director Wang and Diao Xie hurriedly followed Liu Kui to the dock.

After a short time, I saw a magnificent sand boat, escorted by two Mengchong warships in front and behind, slowly approaching from a distance. Seeing the rigorous formation of those warships and the skillful movements of the sailors, the hearts of the three people on the shore were terrified. There was no excessive flag guard on the ship, only a flagpole with a big flag on it, and the word 'Jin' was written on the flag!

"Hehe, I didn't expect Lord Wei to be proficient in water warfare!"

Seeing that the Liaodong Sailor was strong, Diao Xie squinted his eyes and suddenly said something that made people a little confused.

"Master Wei was born on the seaside of Qingzhou, so he is naturally familiar with the method of water warfare."

Director Wang was stunned, and Liu Kui explained a few words with a smile.

"Hahaha, in Xiayang, you will welcome you!"

Seeing three officials standing on the shore, Yang Tan knew that it was the minister sent by King Langya to greet Xiangrui, and as soon as the ship docked, he quickly stepped forward and saluted. Director Wang and Diao Xie were expressionless. only politely greeted a few words, only Liu Kui greeted a few words with a smile.

"Lord Yang has worked hard all the way, and bear with it first, and after meeting King Langya, I will arrange for you to rest."

"Oh, Lord Liu is so polite! Before coming, the captain repeatedly told me. When I arrived in Koto, I met the adults in person, and I had to say thank you for him. If it weren't for the help of adults, my lord would not have succeeded as the captain of Dongyi, and he would not have had the opportunity to dominate Liaodong County. ”

"Hahaha, your housekeeper is too polite. If you want to be grateful, thank King Langya, King Langya is very important to Lord Wei. This time, when he learned that Liaodong was offering auspicious white deer, King Langya was very happy, and specially asked Zaixia, Maohong and Xuanliang to come to greet you. ”

When Yang Tan walked into Jianye City accompanied by Wang Dao, Liu Kui and Diao Xie, hundreds of people crowded on both sides of the street in anticipation for a glimpse of the auspicious white deer.

"Quick. Look, see? The snow-white one is auspicious! I heard that there was an auspicious white deer in Liaodong, and Lord Weiwei of Dongyi specially sent it to Jiangdong to present it to King Langya. ”

"Where? Why didn't I see it? ”

"Stupid you?! Right in the back of the most gorgeous car! ”

"Oh oh, I see, it's really snow-white!"

Looking at the enthusiastic people on both sides, Yang Tan was both happy and worried. Happily, it is naturally the auspicious Rui of Liaodong to scratch the hearts of Jiangdong, and Liaodong will be richly rewarded for this; Worried. The lord Wei Shuo was originally at odds with the family led by Wang Dun and Pei Dun, and who knows how they will calculate Liaodong this time.

Where had that snow-white Xiangrui ever seen such a big formation. I was already frightened by the enthusiastic people on both sides, and I only stared at a pair of stupid and cute eyes innocently looking at the almost crazy people around me, but I didn't expect that its appearance caused more cheers from the people around me, especially those little ladies of the family, who couldn't help but want to hold it in their arms and appease it.

Not everyone welcomed this auspicious white deer, such as Wang Dun, who had just returned to Jianye to quell the Du Tao Rebellion. This time, Wang Dun was promoted to the general of Zhendong and the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong because of his merits. Jiadu Governor Jiang Yangjing, Hunan Jiaoguang, the military of the six states, the history of Jiangzhou Thorn, and the Marquis of Han An.

Wang Dun didn't have an opinion on Xiangrui Bailu, he just didn't have a cold interest in the people who made offerings. Wei Shuo has become a thorn in Wang Dun's heart, not only has he repeatedly provoked his majesty, but the Langya Wang family has also been humiliated by Wei Shuo many times.

Some time ago, Pei Yinger's escape from marriage became the biggest talking point in Jiangdong. It also made the Pei family and the Wang family lose face for this matter. Although Wei Shuo did not intervene in it, it is indeed an indisputable fact that Pei Yinger fled to Liaodong. What's more, there are rumors in the market that the reason why Pei Yinger wants to run away from marriage is because she likes Wei Shuo and looks down on Wang Dun's heir, Wang Ying.

Listening to the earth-shattering cheers in the city, Wang Dun suddenly felt a little troubled. Originally, he had always had the upper hand in the fight against King Langya, but recently he was obviously feeling pressured. It is not only the Jiangdong Shi clan that has a lot of use to contain him, but also the local powerful factions led by Zu Ti, Su Jun, Wei Shuo, Tao Kan, etc., have gradually threatened the interests of the Wang family.

King Langya has the royalist clan as the wings, and there are local powerful factions as foreign aid, and now with this auspicious white deer, its momentum has been achieved! Unless Wang Dun immediately raised an army to rebel, no one would be able to shake the political position of King Langya in the future. In the future, once there is an accident in Guanzhong, King Langya is the best candidate to inherit the throne.

This is also the main reason why King Langya attaches so much importance to the auspicious Rui of Liaodong, with Bailu Xiangrui, the political status of King Langya has been consolidated to a certain extent. The role of auspiciousness is sometimes like the emperor's holy decree, giving you the name of righteousness.

"Coming, coming, king, auspicious rui is coming......" With a series of shouts, an attendant trotted into the main hall.

Sima Rui, the king of Langya, was shocked, stretched his neck and walked towards the outside of the hall, while the other officials twisted their necks to keep the same direction. Everyone is full of curiosity about the white deer offered by Liaodong, it is not that no one has offered auspicious rui in the past, but most of them are artificially fabricated.

This time Liaodong made a big fanfare to offer auspicious white elk, at first King Langya thought that Wei Shuo wanted to please him, although he did not think of Wei Shuo's behavior, it can be seen that the subordinates he valued spent their hearts to please themselves, in fact, they were very happy in their hearts.

However, he didn't expect that the auspicious white deer was real, and this time King Langya was excited! With the appearance of Xiangrui, his political position in Jiangdong will be consolidated, and he will appear justified when he ascends the throne in the future, and will not let others make irresponsible remarks.

After a while, under the guidance of Wang Dao, Diao Xie, and Liu Kui, a pure white elk appeared in front of King Langya and the ministers. Everyone stared at the white elk without blinking, as if it would disappear.

"Sure enough, it's auspicious!"

"Yes, you see that its whole body is snow-white, its head and face are like horses, its horns are like deer, its neck is like a camel, and its tail is like a donkey.

"It is recorded in Mencius, 'Mencius saw King Hui of Liang, the king stood on the swamp, and Gu Hongyan elk said: 'The sage is also happy'! It's a pity that this thing was almost extinct in the Later Han Dynasty, and I didn't expect to see a white elk today! It can be seen that the Mandate of Heaven is still in my Dajin! ”

When King Langya saw the living auspicious white deer, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Captain Wei Jin's dedication to the auspicious white deer is meritorious, and it should be ......."

"Slow down, king!" Wang Wei expected to block Sima Rui's plan to promote Wei Shuo's official position, only to see him step forward and whisper slowly: "King, although Captain Wei is meritorious, it is not appropriate to reward him in a big way. ”

King Langya didn't expect that the first person to stand up against him was Director Wang, and asked with a little puzzled face: "Wang Qingjia, what do you mean by this?" Wouldn't it disappoint the meritorious heroes if they were not rewarded? I'm afraid this is not the way to be a king! ”

"King, any kind of merit can be rewarded, but the merit should not be rewarded, otherwise once the ministers follow suit, there will be worries about disturbing the people." Director Wang explained unhurriedly.

"Well, Aiqing has a point!" After listening to Director Wang's explanation, King Langya also felt that it was not suitable for Wei Shuo to be rewarded.

"King Qiqi, although it is not appropriate to reward the meritorious service of the captain of the guard, he can be rewarded from other places."

"Oh? What does Liu Aiqing suggest? ”

"With the help of Liaodong Zhuwenwu, Captain Wei has quelled the rebellion in Liaodong and Xuansu counties, and the king can be rewarded with this!"

Immediately, Liu Kun moved out the matter of Wei Shuo's unification of Liaodong, and King Langya was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately promoted Wei Shuo to Pingzhou Assassin History and Pingbei General in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing this, Director Wang sighed secretly and retreated. (To be continued.) )
