Chapter 102: The Year of King Xu Kan of the Expedition to the West (Second Watch)
The general of Zhengxi is a heroic legend that will never fade in the Tianqian Dynasty, and people now talk about that hero, and they all yearn for worship.
At the age of twelve, he joined the army and was invincible, at the age of fifteen he became a general and deputy general, and at the age of eighteen, he was appointed by the emperor as a general, and made countless great military exploits.
No matter what one thing is talked about, it is a legendary story, and General Zhengxi is undoubtedly a heroic figure worthy of admiration and worship.
More than 200 years have passed, and the folk still circulate all kinds of legends about the general of Zhengxi.
The name of the general of the expedition to the west is Xu Rengui, the general of the expedition to the west at the age of fifteen, the expedition to the west at the age of twenty-five, the war lasted for ten years, and the thirty-five teams returned to the dynasty to appoint the king of the expedition to the west, and added a generation of kings.
The emperor considered that the king of Zhengxi, his ancestral home was Hangzhou, so he sent him to garrison the south of the Yangtze River and look at the south, in fact, the south had no ambition at that time, and the people of the south had always pursued peace, and there was no legend of him for the next 30 years.
In the 358th year of the Tianqian Dynasty, King Zhengxi died of illness at the age of 63.
After the death of King Zhengxi, the eldest son succeeded to the throne.
When Xu Rengui was alive, he advocated martial arts, so the Xu family had good martial arts. But in the two hundred years after the Xu family, there has never been a character as brave as Xu Rengui.
Xu Rengui is the grandfather of Xu Kannian's grandfather...... In Xu Kannian's generation, he inherited the throne at the age of thirty-eight and became the sixth generation of the king of Zhengxi, and he was still stationed in Jiangnan for a generation.
Zhengxi Palace, located in Hangzhou, in front of Zhengxi Palace, there are two mighty and domineering stone lions, the stone lion is high, the spirit is mighty, and the hoarse grinning appearance reveals the fierce and domineering.
People in Hangzhou know that Zhengxi Wangfu is a place where idlers are forbidden to walk.
Zhao Liang stood in front of the gate of Zhengxi Palace, looked at both sides, and saw that there were no acquaintances, so he came to the gate of Zhengxi Palace with a smile.
"Who?" In front of the gate of the West Palace, four guards with knives asked at the exit.
"I'm Zhao Liang, a fellow staff member in Hangzhou, and I'm here to talk to the prince about something, and I'm asking a few people to report it." Zhao Liang smiled kindly, lowered his identity as a colleague, took out a silver ingot in his arms, and stuffed it into the guard's hand.
The guard's face turned pale, he glared at Zhao Liang, pushed his hand away, looked Zhao Liang up and down, and said, "You wait here for a while, I'll report it." "Tongzhi's identity is still worthy of his report.
"Yes, yes, trouble." Zhao Liang said in a low voice, he knew that his identity as a colleague was nothing in the eyes of others, and he had not seen any person, so his identity would bluff the people.
After a while, the guard turned back and said, "The prince let you in, please!" After saying that, the guard made a gesture of please.
"Thank you." After Zhao Liang said that, he nervously walked into the Zhengxi Palace.
The guard led the way, and Zhao Liang followed cautiously, not daring to look around.
The guard took Zhao Liang to the door of a room and said, "Go in!" The prince is inside. ”
After Zhao Liang entered, he knelt down on one knee, "See the prince." ”
At this time, Xu Kannian, the king of Zhengxi, who was writing with a brush, put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and said unhurriedly: "Get up!" Zhao Liang, what are you looking for me? ”
Xu Kannian is in his early forties, middle-aged and righteous, with a few wrinkles on his smooth and distinct face, Xu Kannian will have these strands of white hair, all combed to the back of his head, tied with a blue ribbon, wearing a lilac robe, and three gold rings embroidered on the cuffs.
The whole person looks stable and peaceful, but there is a kind of momentum that is not angry but powerful in him, which is a kind of kingly aura of a high-ranking person, which puts an unfathomable sense of mystery on his whole person.
Zhao Liang didn't dare to raise his head in front of Xu Kannian, and only when he replied, did he dare to raise his head. Bi Gong said: "There is something to ask for. ”
"When?" Xu Kannian stood up gently, his face did not show joy and anger, and he was as smooth as usual.
"I came here to ask the prince to lend a helping hand and save my father-in-law." When Zhao Liang said about his father-in-law, he was really a little uncomfortable, Ren Changqing was almost the same age as him, but nominally Ren Changqing was really his father-in-law.
"Father-in-law? Isn't your father-in-law long gone? Xu Kannian frowned and said, he met Zhao Liang this time completely because he felt that this person would be useful in the future, if it weren't for the fact that this person had helped him do a lot of things that were inconvenient for him to do, he really didn't bother to meet this fellow acquaintance in Hangzhou.
"This ......" Zhao Liang didn't know what to say about the concubine, for fear of being disgusted by the prince.
"If you have anything to say, don't say it." Xu Kannian glanced at Zhao Liang and was a little displeased.
"Yes, yes, that's it." Zhao Liang broke out in a cold sweat.
After that, Zhao Liang said that it was the father of his concubine, not the original match, and was imprisoned by the prefect, and asked the prince to come to the rescue, and he Zhao Liang was grateful.
After listening, Xu Shanshan asked, "When was he imprisoned?" ”
"It's the crime of secretly possessing a crossbow." Zhao Liang originally said it, he didn't dare to lie in front of the prince, he didn't have the guts, if he didn't tell the truth, the prince would find out that he was lying, and he would not spare him.
"Huh?" Xu Kanshan's face sank, "How can he have an eight-bull crossbow?" Xu Kanshan exuded a biting chill on his body.
Zhao Liang hurriedly said: "It was sent to him by his humble duty and let him use it for self-defense, but who knows......"
"What the hell is going on, it's all told the truth, did you tell you, the eight-ox crossbow is a forbidden item in the army, who asked you to give it to others privately." Xu Kanshan looked at Zhao Liang with a sharp gaze.
The latter's body couldn't help but tremble, and his weak legs suddenly knelt on the ground, "The prince is angry, he knows his mistakes in his humble position, and he knows his mistakes in his humble position, I hope that the prince has a large number of them, and he doesn't care about them." Zhao Liang cried.
"Get up!" Xu Kanshan said slowly, his face calmed again, "Tell me how he was discovered." Xu Kanshan knew that it was not easy to cure Zhao Liang's sin for this matter, and now was the time to employ people, after all, Zhao Liang was much easier to do in many things.
Zhao Liang roughly explained the situation, he just said that there was a business enemy who went to Ren Mansion to make trouble, Ren Changqing was defeated, and he took out the Eight Bull Crossbow out of self-preservation, and did not say anything about the grievances with the Bai family. Then he truthfully explained the matter to the Yamen, and when it came to Tong Lao, Xu Kanshan frowned.
After Zhao Liang finished speaking, he stood aside respectfully.
"Okay, I know, you can go back first!" After listening, Xu Kannian did not express his position.
"Lord Wang, this matter ......" Zhao Liang asked cautiously.
Xu Kannian approached Zhao Liang and said coldly: "What time is it now, the big thing is coming, you still add some chaos to me, do you want me to come forward to rescue your father-in-law, so that those who have a heart suspect that I have something to do with this eight-bull crossbow?" Isn't it the father of a concubine, it's also worth you to open your mouth to me, and wait until the big thing is completed, how many women do you want. "Xu Kan Nian's words contain ice.
Zhao Liang's cold sweat was pouring out one by one, and he was busy kneeling on the ground, "I know my mistake in my humble position, I shouldn't cause trouble for the prince at this time, and I will never mention this matter again." Zhao Liang trembled after lying on the ground, so he didn't regret it, knowing that he shouldn't have come to ask for help from the prince, this was indeed a trivial matter compared to the prince's big thing.
"Let's go!" Xu Kannian issued an eviction order.
"Yes, yes, retire." Zhao Liang stood up without panting, turned around and prepared to go out.
"Wait......" Xu Kannian drank Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang, who had just relaxed his heart, heard the shout, his heart jumped again, turned around, and said respectfully: "What else does the prince have to order." ”
"I will take this matter to heart, but you don't have to report too much hope, you also know Qi Guodong's personality, the overall situation is important at the moment, do your own thing, go down!" Xu Kannian sat back in his chair and said.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zhao Liang undoubtedly took a reassuring pill, and he was content with a word from the prince.
Sometimes buying people's hearts is a matter of one sentence, and Xu Kannian knows this truth very well.
