Chapter 435: Situation
He sighed, put away the thing, and said, "Thank you, brother Xian." After a while, Fang said: "I heard that the eldest daughter of the virtuous brother is twenty-eight years old, smart and virtuous, and beautiful, and the Empress Dowager Chengtian has a good plan for the alliance between the two countries, and she specially asked the brother privately, whether the two countries can marry? "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu Han Derang is like a righteous father, and Han Derang is quite accustomed to calling him by his name.
Wu Yingying was almost about to scold my daughter for being able to match a dog, but he only smiled slightly and said, "Her mother is reluctant to let her daughter travel far away. Han Derang knew that this was the result, but he just passed the word for Empress Xiao and talked about everything, and he didn't say much when he heard it. Another form of marriage is that the princess of Liao State marries Xia Kingdom, but Wu Yingying does not mention it.
A few hours later, the five thousand palace cavalry also surrounded Han Derang and left, Han Chang rode alone behind Han Derang, looking back at the meandering city under the red glow of the sky, the wheat grass on both sides of the road floated with the breeze, and the oblique sunlight made his thin back look particularly lonely.
Wu Yingying stood on the top of the city and looked into the distance, gradually moving away from the people, and slowly disappeared into the faint night. In the tenth year of Daxia Weiyuan, the first year of Song Qianxing, in April, hundreds of boats on the river competed for the current, and two three-masted ships lowered their white sails and anchored on the bank of the quarry rock river in the vast smoke and waves.
Wang Yu looked out the window, and not far away, the official ship of the Forbidden Army's sailors was patrolling and guarding, and turned around and smiled bitterly: "The prefect of Jiangning is too enthusiastic, I am just an idle old man, but I have sent so many open and secret sentries to patrol on the left, so that Brother Wu is embarrassed." "He was over sixty years old, with gray hair, and was dressed in a crane feather.
"Add it up before and after, Brother Wang has been in charge of the government hall for nearly 20 years, and his protégés are all over the world, if he encounters any trouble in this Jiangning realm, this prefect may not be able to sleep at night. Wu Yingying's face was calm, he looked at the water and smoke outside, and felt a little regretful in his heart, since he had alarmed Wang Yu, this trip to his homeland, I was afraid that he would have to return early.
"Most of the camp has been in the camp for most of his life, and he has won some eye-catching fame," Wang Yu sighed a little, picked up a cup of hot rice wine, and drank it slowly, but still choked on a sip and sighed, "When I lived in Jinling, I talked about the heroes of the world with Brother Wu, it was really absurd to be young." Having said that, there was a look of remembrance on his face, and Han Derang had died a few years ago.
Wu Yingying smiled and said: "Brother Wang's evaluation of the current figures can be described as a pearl of words, but it is dark under the lamp, and he misses himself. He looked out again at the sailor ships that were patrolling back and forth on the river, and said with emotion, "If thirty-six years ago, who would have thought that the world would be divided into three parts. ”
"Brother Wu doesn't have to worry. Seeing Wu Yingying looking at the surrounding Song State Sailors, Wang Yu couldn't help but slap his hands and smile, "I can make Brother Wu pay attention, this Sailor is worthy of this year's evaluation." Although he is no longer in the political affairs hall, casually talking about the assessment of officials is still an ordinary thing, and later the commander of the Jiangning Mansion Navy really got the upper evaluation, and a few years later, he was also promoted.
"Don't hide it from Brother Wu, I really want to know that after the founding emperor of Great Xia returns to heaven, Han Chang of the Liao State will go west and fight a decisive battle with Wu An's nephew in Mobei, but," Wang Yu turned his wine glass and said leisurely, "Brother Wu is now in the Song Kingdom, and he is planning for the court of the Great Song Dynasty, so he will do everything possible to protect Brother Wu's safety." If there is a case, the Emperor of the Xia State and the Han Shuai of the Liao State will join forces to strike, and I am afraid that this Central Plains will be bleeding again. He said with a lot of regret, and it seemed that he had really seriously considered leaving Wu Yingying in the Song Kingdom.
Wu Yingying frowned and sighed, "In the eyes of you and others, An'er is actually a cruel and murderous king?" he paused, and then said, "Han Chang is Xiao's beloved son-in-law, who has dedicated his assistance to Da Liao, and has made outstanding achievements, how could he join forces with An'er to attack the Song Dynasty." He picked up the wine glass, touched the wine glass in Wang Yu's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang is unclear and old." ”
Wang Yu said: "Brutality may not be, but the decisiveness of killing is far better than Brother Wu, Emperor Wei Wen said, give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou." Sun Zhongmou is just a king who guards his business, how can he compare to Brother Wu Huzi, in ten years, he has expanded thousands of miles to the north, and how many fettered tribes have become soldiers under the sword, and the iron hooves of the Xia Kingdom have reached the sea of ice all year round. He drank the warm wine in his cup and said, "Brother Wu knows that Han Chang hung the portrait of Emperor Xia Guotai in the study, and the portrait of Han Derang was placed side by side. ”
Wu Yingying said with some emotion: "Derang brother has a son, and there is no regret. Han Chang is a person of pure filial piety, but it is a pity that he suffers himself. ”
Wang Yu smiled dumbly and said, "Brother Wu's comment, people who know that Han Chang is powerful are unbelievable. ”
In the past ten years, Han Chang gradually took over the authority of the original Han Derang, and even exceeded, he rebelled in the north of the Liao State Jurchen, Murwei, Mongolian, Goryeo and other departments, and the original cronies of the Han army, Han people, according to the Xia State soldier Yin Hu system, in the name of Sun Wuzi's art of war, "its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, and the immobility is like a mountain", the new establishment of the four armies. In order to distribute the land and households to the warriors who could fight, he suppressed the rebellion of the northern tribes and the Khitan nobles in the Liao State with an iron fist, but won the hearts of the Jurchen, Murwei, and Mongol warriors who benefited from him.
When Han Derang was alive, Han Chang did not want to be in Nanjing Road under his father's wings, and went to Tokyo Road as an official to dig iron mines and coal mines.
Seeing off Wang Yu, Wu Yingying came to the cabin below the deck, where dozens of wooden boxes were neatly placed in the cabin of this big ship. Huang Wen, who was slowly unfolding a long scroll, raised her head and said with a smile: "After storing it for many years, it has not deteriorated at all." "At the beginning, Wu Yingying filled all the wooden boxes with lime, and the ground was tamped with stones, and after arriving in Lanzhou, he ordered the Military Intelligence Department to buy the old mansion where the treasure was hidden, and guarded it for decades.
I don't know if Liang Zuoqiu will not be able to pull out his eyes when he sees these priceless treasures. Wu Yingying said with a smile, Xia Guo has recently derived from the Western Regions Strange Book of the school of controversy is extremely developed, Chu State Gong Zhang Zhongyao, South Korean Gong Chas, the late Prime Minister Wang Jian, all after retiring from the book to stand up, vigorously advocate Western learning, the Prime Minister's Mansion officials have many self-proclaimed legalists, Liang Zuoqiu is old and strong, and still in order to maintain the orthodoxy of Chinese culture and pen war. These classics were transported back to the Bachelor's Mansion and sorted out by Liang Zuoqiu, who should be able to help him.
The hull of the ship shook slightly, the iron anchor was retracted, the wind was in the right direction, the wooden boat turned the rudder to the north, sailed into the canal, and the lonely sail gradually disappeared into the smoke and mist.
