Chapter 322: Descending South
Gao Zhisheng came to ask the king in a hurry, but he asked the king strangely: "When will the gate of my house not be released?" He asked as he asked Gao Zhisheng to sit down and speak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"After your banquet last time, some people in the palace discussed: Did the people I recruited secretly poison them. Do you still think I don't know? Now no one who comes to me is allowed to enter the house, even my two maids, who are very careful when they enter and leave. Anyway, I am also the minister of Dali, and you call me a brother and a brother, but you look at me like a thief. Gao Zhisheng said in one breath, looking really angry.
It turned out that for this matter, the king of the well had already found out that it was the problem of the water source of the well, and if the water source was carefully explored, it would be a big trouble. But since Gao Zhisheng's suspicion has been ruled out, it seems unreasonable to impose such a strict ban. Wang smiled beside him, suddenly remembered a scene on the street during the day, and turned his head sideways to look at Gao Zhisheng's shoes. Gao Zhisheng saw that Wang Bei didn't answer himself but looked at his feet, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Xian, what are you doing with my feet?" ”
The king said happily: "Your feet grow on you, how can I restrict your freedom of entry and exit." But then again, there is one thing I would like to ask you about, if you say that if the toe of your boots is upturned, what is the clothing habit of people in this place? ”
Gao Zhisheng is also a smart person, knowing that Wang Bian said this is already to release himself from the ban, after all, the identities of both parties are here, and some things don't need to be said too clearly. So he didn't ask any more, but replied to the king and said: "How did the prince study dressing, this boot is the dressing habit of the Tubo people." You have lived in the north for a long time, and you have just arrived in Yongzhou, which extends in all directions, and people from Tubo, Dali, and Jiaozhi often gather. You have to learn how to dress. ”
"Thank you Brother Gao for your advice" Wang Fang thought to himself, in the past, he only knew that the Tubo people were strong, and the relationship between Tubo and the Great Song Dynasty was good, but today I saw this madman is an exception.
"Then again, brother, you only said that you want to go to Dali with me, what are the countermeasures for the marriage? If you don't leave, I'll have to go back. Gao Zhisheng couldn't help frowning when he thought of this.
The king knew that he was anxious, and it was difficult for him to be calm about this matter: "The elder brother is troubled by the fact that he has not yet married?" If I don't agree, then Jia Qing will have nothing to do, so don't worry for the time being; Besides, before I reply, I don't think your Emperor Dali may be really in a hurry to marry Miss Duan to that Tibetan prince. ”
Gao Zhisheng stood up when he heard this: "Brother, I'm just a child?!" To tell you the truth, I have another important thing to do when I come to Yongzhou this time. The person who came to the palace to look for me on the day of your banquet was my cronie guard, and he came to Yongzhou to check the whereabouts of a person. Now it's said that there is some news, so I'm in a hurry. ”
"Oh? Who is so important to Big Brother? I wonder if there is anything that my little brother can help? ”
Gao Zhisheng smiled bitterly: "What can you help, people you don't know." I'm also for Dali, alas! Two years ago, there was a traitor named Yang Yunxian in Dali, and it was because I sent troops to exterminate it that the Holy Lord gave me Baiya and Rudian. Although Yang Yunxian was exterminated, his eldest son Yang Yizhen defected and hid in the mountains at the junction of Dali, the Great Song Dynasty and Tubo. And he still has some followers under him, if he becomes a force, it will be a disaster for Dali in the future. In fact, this time, I didn't bring the guards out, but I also wanted to lure him to dedicate himself. On the day you first came to Yongzhou, my guard Ying Darong sent me a message. Who knew that something would happen in your mansion that day, and the guards were so tight, otherwise, I guess I would have been able to lure out that Yang Yizhen. ”
Wang Fang didn't expect that there would be such a complicated matter here, originally he thought that although Gao Zhisheng had some martial arts and character, he was still talking about the past, but he was a little too childlike. This made him feel more good about Gao Zhisheng, and this Dali minister was also a little bold. He also stood up: "Who said that I can't help you, I'll call someone to draw a shadow pattern, you say, wait for me to lay a net and help you catch this thief." ”
"Brother Xian has this, I am relieved, but after all, this is Dali's business, don't worry about my brother. In addition, this Yang Yizhen is very cunning, I am afraid that it will be easy to startle the snake. I need to go out now, so I'll ask you to borrow a few people to be safe. ”
Gao Zhisheng wants to go out, this king can't stop him, and he just said that he will let go, considering Gao Zhisheng's safety, it is also necessary for a few people to follow secretly, Wang nodded and said: "Well, brother Gao, you say, who do you want to borrow?" ”
"Brother Xian's side guards are all smart, you can look at it and give me two or three people, I will contact my master, if there is the whereabouts of Yang Yizhen, we will go to investigate together."
"Good! Come! The king shouted out of the door, and then walked in with a soldier. You go and call General Zhang, Commander Wu and Commander Wa. The soldier was ordered to go out.
Wang Bi turned his head to Gao Zhisheng and said, "You are familiar with Zhang Ping and Wu Ling, and Wa Zhuang is a local, and he is very familiar with the terrain and people. These three people lend you well, do you think? ”
Gao Zhisheng was very happy when he heard this, he knew that these people were the personal guards next to the king, and they were the top guards in terms of martial arts, and they were also good brothers next to the king. Being able to lend himself these three people shows the king's trust in himself: "Good! Thank you, brother, then I'll go and prepare first. ”
Minister Gao Zhisheng went out in casual clothes to visit the whereabouts of the traitor Yang Yizhen in Dali, and Wang Bei asked Zhang Ping and the three to protect them closely and pay attention to Gao Zhisheng's safety. When they were all gone, the king called Chen Kang again. Chen Kang was not idle during this time, his legs and feet were inconvenient, so Wang asked him to sort out the missing chapters in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts". At the beginning, Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang presented the book "Wujing General Essentials" to Wang Bian, and the book was missing a volume, in which the fire attack and defense of the city part, it was inadvertently discovered by Wang Bian. And Chen Kang has made a great contribution, although he is particularly afraid of gunpowder so far, but he has a deeper understanding when he looks at it again.
After coming to Yongzhou, Wang Bon stepped up the construction of Yongzhou and ordered Chen Kang to fill in the missing chapters and prepare to choose a place to build his own arsenal. This is not a trivial matter, on the one hand, this matter must be carried out privately, on the other hand, all the gunpowder formulas in it must be reviewed and revised by Wang Fang, so the matter of sorting out these volumes falls on Chen Kang's head. After learning about the progress of Chen Kang's side, Wang was very happy to know that the volumes had been sorted out.
"Mr. Chen, you pay 500 miles of silver from the account, find a remote place, and build our own arsenal first, and then hand over this matter to Mr. to supervise, and the responsibility is heavy. Sir, I'm going to have to worry a little more. During this time, Wang saw that although Chen Kang had a cowardly personality before, he was extremely serious about doing things.
When Chen Kang heard this, his hands trembled with excitement: "Lord Wang, you trust me so much, I will definitely try my best to do this well." ”
"Haha, when the arsenal is built, can't Mr. Chen find a pit to bury it when he sees gunpowder?" The joke next to the king made Chen Kang relax, remembering the first time he went to Wang Anshi's mansion in Linchuan, he grabbed the fireworks and gunpowder that Tong Guan was playing with and buried it in the ground, Chen Kang himself laughed. "What the prince said, you just put the gunpowder in front of my eyes, and I won't do that. When he was naughty, he couldn't blame the power of gunpowder, if he fought in the future, these would be necessary, don't worry. ”
Wang Bian smiled with satisfaction, and arranged for Chen Kang to hurry up, this matter is also a big deal for Wang Bian, now the imperial court does not allocate troops to Yongzhou, this autonomy is not so simple and easy. While repairing the plank road to develop the economy, it is also necessary to secretly cross Chen Cang to do a good job of defense, Wang Bian did this not without reason, he knew that after the establishment of the Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi, he stared at the Lingnan states to which the Northern Song Dynasty belonged, intending to take the opportunity to devour. Moreover, the famous war between the Northern Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi took place during the reign of Zhao Ji, and Wang Bi clearly knew that in the next few years, the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi would launch an attack on the Lingnan region of the Northern Song Dynasty, capturing Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Yongzhou. After the capture of Yongzhou, more than 58,000 soldiers and civilians of the Northern Song Dynasty were killed.
Since arriving in Yongzhou, after Wang Bi's subconscious received the information of this history, he began to lay out the defense of Yongzhou, for him, Jiaozhi was like a slave, they were all foreign enemies. This kind of sentiment is different from Wang Bei's feelings towards Dali, Tubo, Western Xia and Liao. Therefore, preventing and resisting Jiaozhi is also one of the important things that Wang Fang has to do in Yongzhou, but such a big thing is now handed over to Chen Kang to do. Can Chen Kang not feel pressure and honor? Especially when Chen Kang was instilled with the importance of defense, Chen Kang felt that Wang Jian took himself very seriously, not to mention the gunpowder that he resisted because he had a crippled foot since he was a child, and now he asked him to learn Dong Cunrui to blow up something with a gunpowder bag, and he would never give up. Of course, he didn't know who Dong Cunrui was.
It was already dark in the busy, and after a brief dinner in the study, Jiao Deyou took Jia Xian to the palace. The huge entrance hall of the palace is magnificent, and the carved beams and paintings in the palace are brilliantly lit, Jia Xian has been dizzying, and he followed Jiao Deyou to the study next to the king while admiring and marveling. At this time, after seeing the king sitting on the bookcase, it was different from the big shopkeeper who appeared in the bank in civilian clothes during the day. The king is sitting in a precarious position, the room is decorated with generous and elegant, and the Nanmu book case in front of him is really heavy, which sets off the majesty of the king. Originally, if he held his stomach, he would see the prince in the palace, but suddenly Jia Xian was really a little flustered, if he said it wrong, what should he do? He didn't think so when he chased the king during the day, that kind and pleasant handsome boy, once he was decorated by this momentum at this moment, he really felt a little bit sitting behind the bookcase without being angry and arrogant.
"Lord Wang, I brought Jia Xian here." Jiao Deyou stepped forward and saluted.
Wang waved his hand: "Please sit down, Jia Xian, what do you have to say to me?" ”
Jia Xian didn't dare to sit down, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Wang, I, I, I" He said and peeked at Jiao Deyou.
"What am I, let you say it, you can say, what are you nervous about?" Jiao Deyou glared at Jia Xian.
"Ambiguous!" Jia Xian agreed, brewed his emotions, and thought that he had studied actuarial science for many years, and now he was finally useful, and he must show it well in front of the prince, so as to be worthy of his trip south to the king.
