Chapter 510: The Old Man of Luoyang
The hibiscus tent was warm for a spring night, and Han Jian got up early to leave the palace, because he was about to leave for Jiangdu at noon, and Yang Li'er did not stay in the palace.
After this incident, Han Jian found that Yang Li'er was not arrogant and withdrawn as she appeared on the outside, but mainly to people, Yang Rui was sincere to her, and she got her response. Han Jian also had to sigh in his heart Yang Rui's ability to treat people, and he could obey Yang Li'er's obedience, Yang Rui seemed to have found a feeling of being his eastern princess.
At the gate of the palace, Han Jian sent Yang Li'er to the carriage back to the East Palace, but he himself did not accompany him. After all, Yang Li'er is pregnant with Liujia and needs to be carefully recuperated, and while there is still some time before leaving at noon, Han Jian also wants Yang Li'er to rest more.
Leaving the palace, Han Jian went directly to the Wu'an Institute. In the Wu'an Station, Zhang Xing, the supreme general of the capital's defense, was talking to a person, and when he saw Han Jian, Zhang Xing and the person got up to greet him.
Han Jian didn't look recognizable at first glance, he was very young, but his cheeks had been full of vicissitudes, and his beard seemed to have not been repaired for many years. But if you look closely, you can still vaguely distinguish the original appearance, which was the former champion Su Tingxia who once set off a bloody storm in Luoyang and finally ended up with Su Tingxia, the former champion of southern Xinjiang.
"Someone Su has seen the East King." Su Tingxia saw Han Jian and bowed.
When Han Jian heard Su Tingxia report to his home, he was sure that he didn't recognize the wrong person.
Originally, Su Tingxia gave him the impression that he was young and promising, and he was quite scheming, but after thinking about it carefully, in fact, Su Tingxia had gone through three imperial examinations, plus two years of exile, and he was already nearly thirty years old. It's not uncommon to have such a mature old look.
"Brother Su is polite, please take a seat." Han Jian also sighed with some emotion in his heart.
I want to be at the beginning. Su Tingxia also predicted the imminent turmoil in Luoyang, and also predicted that Yang Xi would become the crown prince, such a genius person, just because of a little mistake in the first half of his life, not only did his family suffer, but even he himself was able to save his life, and he is still alone. Han Jian thought about it, and felt that Su Tingxia's life was quite difficult.
Su Tingxia returned the salute: "Don't dare to be." ”
Han Jian sat down first, and Zhang Xing and Su Tingxia sat down.
Han Jian said: "This king heard that Brother Su was working under the command of the Southern Prince's Mansion, and he admired Brother Su's talent before, so he asked the Southern King for personal favors. Borrow Brother Su here. Please don't mind, Brother Su. ”
Su Tingxia smiled and said, "It is an honor for Su to appreciate someone from the East King. I don't know what the king of the east drives, Su must serve with all his heart. ”
Han Jian nodded and asked, "What is Brother Su's official position under the command of King Nan?" ”
"The chief of the left army palace guard." Su Tingxia replied respectfully.
Han Jian nodded in understanding. This official position is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant. It's much taller than Lin Xiaoyun's stunned blue. However, Su Tingxia and Lin Xiaoyun can rely on their own ability to find a position in the army after they are assigned to southern Xinjiang, which also shows that they have the ability.
Han Jian said: "Brother Su is the chief. In the army of the Eastern King, he naturally served in the army on an equal footing. Brother Su served as the right envoy of the army as a chief official, and temporarily served under General Zhang. I wonder if Brother Su can dislike it? ”
Su Tingxia was a little surprised when he heard this, the chief official was not a general in the army, and because he was thin and came from a pen, at most he was just around the officials at the level of deputy generals. But now Han Jian appointed him as the right envoy of the army, although he was at the rank of captain, he was already a civilian officer with the rank of deputy chief of staff of a large group army.
"I'm afraid someone Su won't dare to take on this responsibility." Su Tingxia stood up and saluted.
"Brother Su doesn't have to be too polite. You and I, as well as General Zhang, are all friends in trouble, and this king also regretted not listening to Brother Su's persuasion, which made our dynasty fall apart. Now I am fortunate to have a general like Brother Su, if I can't use it, it is really the king's fault. Han Jian said with a little emotion.
Only then did Su Tingxia bow down and receive the order.
Han Jian instructed Zhang Xing and asked him to hold a simple appointment ceremony for Su Tingxia, who is now nominally one of Zhang Xing's military advisors.
After speaking, Zhang Xing was going out to take charge of the dispatch of the army, after all, the army of the Eastern King Army was going to return to Jiangdu, and there were still some things to do in the army to ask for rewards for meritorious service, and Zhang Xing was very busy these days.
After Zhang left, Han Jian had the opportunity to talk to Su Tingxia alone.
Han Jian first asked Su Tingxia about his experience in the army of the Southern Prince's Mansion, and Su Tingxia didn't want to mention it anymore between his words. Han Jian had also roughly investigated before, Su Tingxia had also suffered a lot when he first arrived in the Southern Xinjiang Army, after all, he was not born in martial arts, he was a weak scholar, and it was difficult to last for the first period of time when he served in the army.
"Brother Su, do you have any plans to return to your hometown to visit this time?" Following the conversation, Han Jian asked.
Su Tingxia shook his head helplessly and said, "Alone, there are no relatives in the countryside. If it weren't for the help of the East King, Su would not even have revenge. Who do you see when you return home? ”
Han Jian comforted him, and Su Tingxia asked, "I heard that Brother Lin is now a general under the command of the East King, I don't know if there is any chance to see you again?" ”
Han Jian saw Su Tingxia's eager eyes, and suddenly felt that Su Tingxia was not asking Lin Zhan, but Lin Xiaoshu.
"Naturally, there will be opportunities." Han Jian smiled and said, "Brother Lin and Miss Xiao Shu are now serving under the command of the East Prince's Mansion. ”
"Oh? Miss Lin is also there? Su Tingxia's eyes also had some light.
Han Jian nodded and said: "Xiao Shu is now the chief butler of the Dongwang Mansion, responsible for the deployment of military rations on the front line of the entire Dongwang Mansion, and now he is still in Quzhou, we should meet us on the way back to Jiangdu." ”
Su Tingxia smiled reluctantly and said, "Miss Lin is a benefactor of someone Su, and she has always wanted to repay her, but she never had a chance. Don't think that the king of the east has anything to think about Miss Lin. ”
"How?" Han Jian also smiled.
But there is still some nostalgia in his heart, if you want to talk about Su Tingxia's ability, he does admire, once a scholar, he can compete with forces like Beiwangfu, not only courageous, but also courageous. However, for Lin Xiaoshu, Han Jian was not so comfortable in his heart. He used to refer to Lin Xiaoshu as "Little Girl", but Su Tingxia also heard some meanings, and immediately explained that he didn't think about it, but in fact, he just showed his attitude.
After talking for a while, Han Jian asked: "Brother Su has a unique understanding of the current situation, I don't know what Brother Su thinks of the shape of Jiangbei now?" ”
Su Tingxia seemed to have expected Han Jian to ask this question, and shook his head slightly: "Jiangbei is no longer a separate unit, but is closely related to the land of China, the two dynasties and the six kingdoms. Su should not have made any false arguments, but in my opinion, the Jiangbei Rebellion took a long time, and I am afraid that it will not subside in three or five years. (To be continued......)
