Chapter 298: Annan IV

Wang Yangming looked at Zhu Houhuang and sighed slightly, and stopped talking.

Wang Yangming was unwilling to deal with Wu Chuanbo, and he never thought of making a weapon deal with Wuchuan Bo. He knew that King Yong had come anonymously, and everything he did had to be hung on himself.

And Wang Yangming is not willing to hang this infamy.

But after listening to this sentence, Wang Yangming understood that what is the most valuable quality of Zhu Houhuang is not his vision, nor his persistence, nor his action, but Zhu Houhuang's benevolence.

Wang Yangming could feel that Zhu Houhuang's concern for the lower-class people was sincere.

That's enough.

Confucius's Confucianism is a thousand words, just in the word "benevolence".

Zhu Houhuang never thought that the kind of small citizen's mind he brought from his previous life was the key to his recovery of Wang Yangming. The reason why he cares about the lower classes of the people is because Zhu Houhuang is here because he wants to put his position here, and the education he receives is proletarian education.

Even if he becomes a prince in Daming, he still can't change this.

I don't know if they came by chance, Wu Chuanbo's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Early in the morning of this day, someone came to the post station to pick up Wang Yangming and Zhu Houhuang, Wang Yangming and Zhu Houhuang and a dozen people, took a carriage to Wuchuan Bofu.

On this day, Wu Chuanbo's liveliness was extremely lively, almost the entire Annam's dignitaries and nobles came, although the specifications of Thang Long Mansion were relatively small, and they had been repeatedly warned, but the scale of Wu Chuanbo's mansion was not inferior to the magnates in the capital.

"Envoy of King Yong, Lord Wang has arrived." With a shout, the crowd immediately separated from each other, and everyone looked at Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming walked over without hurry under the gaze of everyone, with a graceful demeanor, although Wang Yangming is in his fifties and his hair is gray, but his every move has an elegant bearing, which makes everyone amazed, and in the crowd, someone from time to time said: "This is the style of the Celestial Empire." ”

Zhu Houhuang and Xu Aiyi followed behind Wang Yangming left and right, Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he saw Wang Yangming's current appearance.

He secretly said in his heart: "No wonder Master Lu said that there are few ministers of Dongyong who can convince the distant country." Sure enough, it wasn't the future generations who ate by looking at their faces, and they are now. ”

There are many small fresh meats in later generations, as if it was later generations who took a fancy to the appearance, but in fact it was not.

Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to appearance, appearance is not necessarily justice, but if the appearance is not good, it must be unjust, otherwise how can there be Zhong Kui.

After the group entered, Xu Ai seemed to see Zhu Houhuang's discomfort, comforted him and said: "Senior brother, don't care, you are not a Confucian student, you just don't know the etiquette." ”

Zhu Houhuang said with some surprise: "Just a kind of etiquette? ”

"Of course," Xu Ai said to Zhu Houhuang, explaining the problem of how to walk, Zhu Houhuang found that the details were cumbersome, Zhu Houhuang had not yet learned, just listening, he found that he didn't seem to be able to walk. He hadn't interrupted Xu Ai's speech, but he heard Xu Ai's tone change and said: "Of course, you don't have to care about these red tape, everything lies in the heart, not in these forms, the heart is there, in everything is like etiquette, and the heart is not there, then these etiquettes are just fakes." ”

Dare to love what you said is nonsense, Zhu Houhuang didn't know what to say for a while.

Suddenly, a person touched Zhu Houhuang, and something was stuffed into Zhu Houhuang's hand. Zhu Houhuang knew what it was as soon as he pinched it, it was light, round, and cracked when he pinched, it was a wax pill that conveyed news.

Zhu Houhuang gave Xu Ai a look, Xu Ai immediately held a meeting to cover one or two for Zhu Houhuang, Zhu Houhuang looked down at the wax pill, and saw that in the wax pill, there was a piece of silk cloth with a simple map on it. A red dot was dotted up and down.

Zhu Houhuang approached Wang Yangming and whispered in Wang Yangming's ear, and stuffed the silk cloth into Wang Yangming's hand.

Wang Yangming glanced at it, then stuffed the silk cloth to Xu Ai, and said, "Burn it secretly, don't leave a trace." ”

Zhu Houhuang asked, "Master Wang, why is this so?" ”

Wang Yangming said: "Things are not clear, and it is better to be still than to be still. He was afraid that Zhu Houhuang would not be able to sit still, and said: "This is Wu Chuanbo's mansion, what if it is his trap?" ”

Zhu Houhuang's heart calmed down suddenly. He understood that what Wang Yangming said was right, what if it was a trap? Although he wants to have contact with the Annan royal family, he is not in a hurry, it is not him who should be anxious, but the Annan royal family.

Wang Yangming said: "Moreover, we have already gained something on the side of Annan, so don't make any more extraneous branches." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Yes." But what he was thinking in his heart, he didn't know.

Before the feast began, he heard a cannon outside and said, "The holy decree has arrived." ”

Countless people knelt down to receive the order, but Wang Yangming did not move, as if he didn't hear it, and Zhu Houhuang would not kneel anymore, the will of the king of Annan. How can you make Zhu Houhuang kneel, let alone let this King of Annan still be a puppet.

Maybe Uncle Wu Chuanming had already prepared, so he arranged Wang Yangming's position in the courtyard, an inconspicuous place, so there was a distance from the person who read the holy decree, and Zhu Houhuang could only vaguely hear: "Uncle Wu Chuanbo of Jin is the Duke of Renguo." ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray."

When Zhu Houhuang heard this shout, he was extremely uncomfortable, and said with a sneer: "Mu monkey and crown." ”

After three rounds of drinking, a subordinate came to Wang Yangming and said in a low voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Duke of Renguo is invited." ”

Zhu Houhuang's eyes flashed, and he knew that he was getting to the point.

The group entered the study in the backyard, and Wang Yangming and others met the former Wu Chuanbo and the current Renguo Gong. Mo Dengyong was not from the scholar clan, he was just a fisherman before, because his courage was valued, and he rose step by step, to his current position.

So he doesn't have half of his elegant demeanor, and he only has an awe-inspiring murderous aura.

He saw Wang Yangming go straight to the point, and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know what kind of charter is the weapon?" ”

Wang Yangming said: "The matter of weapons has nothing to do with me, it is just a matter of my disciple. ”

Zhu Houhuang said loudly: "Foreign Minister Xu Song is the Shaofu of King Yong, and he has seen the Duke of Renguo of Annan, and the matter of weapons is decided by the Shaofu of Yongguo. ”

"And what charter?" Ren Guogong asked directly.

Zhu Houhuang said: "This is a trivial matter, why do we need to wait to talk about it, Renguo Gong needs to say, buy or not, other things, naturally by the people below." ”

Ren Guogong's eyes gathered, which made Zhu Houhuang feel a little pressure, but Zhu Houhuang was also a person who had been on the battlefield several times, and he didn't care about this pressure at all. Ren Guogong laughed and said, "That's right." Let the people below talk. ”

This time he was on an envoy, and he was prepared to talk about business. So Zhu Houhuang transferred several old shopkeepers from Xu Song's side to his side, and they had to talk about this matter.

Zhu Houhuang retreated behind Wang Yangming again, and Wang Yangming said this with Fan Jiamo here. Ren Guogong interjected two sentences from time to time. Zhu Houhuang could also feel that Fan Jiamo deliberately guided him, otherwise he would not be able to talk at all with Ren Guogong's insight in Confucianism.

After a while, two people came in, one came to Zhu Houhuang's side, and the other came to Renguogong's side.

Beside Zhu Houhuang was Zhu Houhuang's people, and he whispered in Zhu Houhuang's ear: "This time Annan wants to buy, twenty artillery pieces, swordsmen--"

"Needless to say, tell me the total amount directly, how much silver did Annan pay?" Zhu Houhuang asked.

"Annan paid for grain, a total of 200,000 stone of grain."

"200,000 stone grain in hand," Zhu Houhuang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what Dongyong lacks most is food, followed by silver, Annan is worthy of being a grain-producing area, even if it has been fighting for several years, there is still a lot of food, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need. Zhu Houhuang looked at Ren Guogong and said secretly in his heart: "If the next few countries are as smooth as Annan here, maybe you can raise the gap without using swords." ”

Ren Guogong also listened to the total report, and was quite satisfied with this result, and nodded at Zhu Houhuang's gaze.
