Chapter Eighty-Five: Meeting Liang Jun
"Yang Aiqing has worked hard all the way, why don't you stay in the palace for a few days and chat with me to relieve boredom?"
"Thank you, your lord, the minister should obey the order, but ......"
Yang Xiuyuan paused and said, "Yanzhou has just been recovered, and there are still many things to deal with, so the minister is really a little relieved. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I know that you are a person who truly loves the people like a son, and there are very few people like you in the court now. ”
Liang Jun suddenly sighed, and then said: "Yang Aiqing, since you care about the people, then I will appoint you as the governor of Yanzhou, and concurrently serve as the general soldier of Yanzhou, you can lead the Suzhou Army to garrison the Yanzhou military camp, then by the way, the banner of the Suzhou Army will be used as a modification, from now on, the 'Suzhou Army' will be renamed the 'Zhenzhou Army', and at the same time expand your 200,000 military power, and you can recruit troops in Yanzhou at any time." ”
Yang Xiuyuan was immediately overjoyed, bowed down and saluted: "Thank you, your lordship, the minister will definitely live up to the trust!"
"Yang Aiqing, you first go back to Suzhou to summon Lu Ming, I can't wait to meet this famous poet of Zhenguo. ”
"Yes, the minister retired. ”
Yang Xiuyuan bowed slightly, and then left the palace with steady steps.
After returning to the Suzhou military camp, Yang Xiuyuan immediately sent an order for Lu Ming to come and see him.
After a while, Lu Ming came to the military tent and saluted Yang Xiuyuan: "The student has seen the scholar!"
Yang Xiuyuan immediately smiled and said: "The old man summoned Liang Jun on behalf of Xuan Luming to go to the palace to meet him." ”
"What did you say, Your Majesty wants to see me?"
Lu Ming's face was shocked, he was just a scholar from a poor family, and the monarch of the Great Liang Kingdom actually wanted to summon him, this is too incredible, right?
The king of a country is not something that anyone can see if they want to.
"Yes, Liang Jun really wants to see you, hurry up and take a shower, change into clean clothes, and follow me to the palace!"
"Yes!"
Lu Ming saluted and took the order.
After taking a bath, Lu Ming changed into a clean scholar's uniform and flew to the palace in Yang Xiuyuan's steady steps.
Standing and looking down, the prosperity of the entire capital was suddenly visible, which made Lu Ming feel that his scholar's uniform was a little rustic.
The steady steps under Yang Xiuyuan's feet fell outside the palace, and Lu Ming swaggered into the palace, and the soldiers in it saw that it was Yang Xiuyuan, and they saluted him one after another, with an extremely respectful attitude.
The Imperial Palace is a small city in Jingzhou, and in addition to going to court in the Jinluan Palace, whether it is a large or small official, if he wants to ask to see Liang Jun, he must report it and get permission to enter.
Lu Ming could see from this that Liang Jun was very important to Yang Xiuyuan, and he could even let him enter and leave the palace at any time without reporting or using a pass.
The scale of this palace is not small, and its architectural style is very royal, which reminds Lu Ming of the Forbidden City on earth.
The construction technology of this world has developed rapidly, and the craftsmanship of the Luban family has been passed down from generation to generation, constantly improving and refining, and has a great status.
"This palace is really magnificent!", Lu Ming praised.
Yang Xiuyuan said with a smile: "That's nature, after all, it is the mansion of the king, and naturally it can't be compared with the buildings of the people." ”
At this time, a eunuch came up and said, "The slave gave a salute to the scholar, may I ask if this is Lu Ming and Lu Shusheng?"
"Exactly the students. Lu Ming arched his hand slightly.
"The king has an order to order Lu Shusheng to go to the imperial garden to wait. ”
Lu Ming arched his hand and said, "Then Father-in-law Lao will lead the way." ”
"Scholar, please take care of yourself. ”
The eunuch saluted, and then took Lu Ming to the Imperial Garden.
"Does that mean that scholars can walk around the palace at will?
Lu Ming felt a little incredible, Liang Jun's favor to the scholar was really different.
After walking for half a day, Lu Ming arrived at the Imperial Garden, which is a very beautiful landscape garden, with small bridges and flowing water, strange flowers and fruits, and pavilions in the garden, as if it was a fairyland.
"Although it is artificially constructed, the environment is natural, it is simply ingenious!"
Lu Ming was amazed, and came to a pavilion to sit down, the beautiful palace maid had already served tea and snacks, waiting for Lu Ming's arrival.
"I've seen Lu Gongzi. ”
The palace ladies bowed slightly, and a welcoming smile appeared on their faces.
"No excuses, no need to be polite. Lu Ming returned the salute.
The eunuch said: "Please enjoy it for a while, the king will come in a while, and the slave will retire." ”
"Father-in-law walks slowly. ”
Lu Minggong sent the eunuch away, and then sat down in the pavilion, with more than ten kinds of snacks on the table, as well as the imperial wine of the palace, which had a charming aroma.
The palace maid played a beautiful music with a flute, with beautiful scenery and fine wine, which made Lu Ming even more intoxicated.
Lu Ming poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, and praised: "It's really good wine!"
"Since the girls are so elegant, then Xiaosheng will compose a poem, and the name of this poem is called "Mountain Pavilion Summer". ”
The maid of the first palace immediately clapped her hands and said, "Okay, good, we have heard of Lu Gongzi's literary name for a long time, and it is really a blessing to be able to listen to you chant a poem." ”
"Don't interrupt, keep playing. ”
Lu Ming laughed and said: "
The green trees are thick and the summer days are long,
The terrace is reflected in the pond.
The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises,
A courtyard full of roses. ”
"Good!"
A neutral voice sounded, and I saw Liang Jun wearing a white shirt and holding a folding fan in his hand, walking slowly towards the pavilion.
"It's a 'crystal curtain moving in the breeze, full of roses and a courtyard of incense', this poem is at least Mingzhou!"
Liang Jun laughed and walked into the pavilion, and the palace maids immediately stopped playing music and wanted to salute, but saw Liang Jun waving his hand and said, "The old man is just passing by, hehe, passing by." ”
Lu Ming saw that Liang Jun was arrogant and high-spirited, and he was dressed as a scholar, presumably a respected prince, so he got up and said with a smile: "Lu Ming, who was born late, has seen the old gentleman." ”
The palace maids suddenly lost their faces, this is the monarch of the Liang State today, the lord of a country, Lu Ming actually called him an old man?
But when I think about it, I am relieved, Liang Jun is not wearing a dragon robe today, and Lu Ming has not seen Liang Jun, of course he will not know that the person in front of him is Liang Jun.
"Excuse me. ”
Liang Jun waved his hand and looked at it for a while, Lu Ming smiled and said, "You are today's Zhenguo poet Lu Ming?
"The old gentleman has won the prize. Lu Ming said modestly.
"Eh, why did you come to the palace?", Liang Jun said knowingly.
"Xiaosheng was fortunate to be summoned by Liang Jun, so he waited here. ”
Lu Ming said slowly: "Eh, old man, let me ask, I don't know the rules very well when I first came to the palace, can you give me some advice?"
"Of course, come, let's sit down and talk. ”
Liang Jun sat down with Lu Ming and poured a glass of wine for Lu Ming, which made the palace maids open their mouths even more in shock.
A scholar, actually with Liang Jun...... Liang Jun also poured wine for him personally? You must know that even if he is the top leader, he has to make a big salute when he sees Liang Jun, and he is also not qualified to sit on an equal footing with Liang Jun.
However, the young scholar in front of him was able to get such treatment, and Liang Jun was very happy to do so, how not to make the palace maid feel incredible.
"The old man told you that there are indeed many rules in this palace, whether it is a palace maid or a eunuch, you must salute when you see all kinds of officials. ”
Lu Ming nodded, this is the most basic courtesy, it is normal, and then asked: "Actually, what I want to ask more is, how should a child of a poor family like me salute when he sees the king?"
"Don't worry about this, Liang Jun is approachable, usually not rigid and subtle, you can rest assured. ”
"Really? Then I'm relieved. ”
Lu Ming, who was originally nervous, suddenly felt a little more relaxed.
Liang Jun said: "Little scholar, the old man heard that the scenery of Jiang County is good, it is the hometown of ancient bridges, and there are many famous bridges left by the ancients, right?"
"Of course, our Jiangxian County is located in the south, there is a beautiful river, and many scholars like to take a boat to play and hold cultural meetings......
Lu Ming began to relax and talked about the beautiful scenery of his hometown, which made Liang Jun listen to it for a while.
Jiangxian is the hometown of ancient bridges, famous for bridges, and there are also many special products, which are very famous in Suzhou.
"The old man remembers that the county order of Jiang County seems to be called Luo Pang, right?
"Old man, don't hide it, the Naluo County Order is simply innocent!"
Lu Ming couldn't help but say: "He relied on the first assistant of the dynasty to support him, so that the learned scholars fell off the list, but let a group of people who were hangers go to high school, brutalize the township, and do all kinds of evil, in Jiang County, all the people are eager to kill Luo Pang!"
"So serious? Then Luo Pang is really damned!"
Liang Jun then asked: "But listening to your tone, it seems that you have a great prejudice against the first assistant of the dynasty." ”
"What ...... this", Lu Ming hesitated for a moment.
"There is no one else here, does the little scholar still have any concerns? Or are you worried that the old man is not a good person?", Liang Jun said dissatisfiedly.
Xiao Sheng had no such intention. ”
Lu Ming said: "Let me tell you, it's not just that I'm prejudiced against him, but there are more people in the world who hate Yan Kun!"
"I won't mention other things, just take the matter of the Eastern Demon Army committing our country's frontier as an example, at that time, the Eastern Demon Army soldiers pressed the border, and Yan Shoufu didn't send troops to recover the lost territory, even if he still advocated cutting land and seeking peace with hundreds of civil and military officials, isn't this a traitor to seek glory? Where is the majesty of my Liang country? Where is the arrogance of my scholar?"
"Also, Scholar Yang received Liang Jun's holy decree and led the Northern Expedition of the Suzhou Army, Yan Shoufu actually took this opportunity to transfer more than half of the Suzhou Army directly, does this not clear that he wants us to send him to death?"
"Is there such a thing?", Liang Jun's face sank.
Therefore, the Suzhou Army had no choice but to temporarily recruit troops, gather enough 150,000 troops, and without waiting for the training of new soldiers, they went directly to the Northern Expedition. ”
"There is also Yan Feihu, the commander of the Cangzhou army, who dared to take advantage of the fire to rob and loot the property of the people, and the people of Cangzhou dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, hey...... Not to mention how miserable it was. ”
"Oh......"
Liang Jun stroked his beard, his eyes flickered, and he thought about it.
