Section 1: Recruiting Talents

readx;

Two figures strolled along the high shore of the pool, and the first rain finally came after a long scorching heat, which did not help much to the drought, but it cooled down the sweltering weather. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's already the beginning of September, but there is no taste of autumn at this time of the year, and the red heat hanging in the sky is still unabated, if there is no rain just now, even if the willows by the pond are still clinging, the two of them dare not come out for a walk.

"Brother Cheng Song, I'm afraid I haven't been here for a long time, right?" The young man who walked first had handsome eyebrows, green shirts and jade belts, high hair and crowns, and although his hands were behind him, the black satin fan in his hand opened and closed from time to time, and the piping gold silk unicorn pattern between the wide sleeves of the robe was faintly visible.

"Your Highness, please don't use this title anymore, Cheng Song can't afford it. The middle-aged man with a somewhat sickly pale face had a somewhat embarrassed and touching wry smile on his face, and his slightly thin body and white robe set him off even more skinny, and the beard under the slightly high cheekbones seemed to have been trimmed, although neat, but there was always a trace of incongruity, "This Taiye Pool was probably visited by Cheng Song when he traveled fifteen years ago, and then he stayed in Heshuo, and never had the opportunity to visit again. ”

The thin man's words were full of sadness, and there was a faint trace of tears in his eyes, obviously remembering some sad past.

This liquid pond is a large artificial lake excavated by the king of the previous dynasty, which is formed by leading the water of the Han River, the area is huge, the high bank is surrounded by the lake, the clear water is rippling, just like the 'soup soup of the sea'. There are three mountains of Yingzhou, Penglai and abbot in the pool, and strange birds and beasts such as fish and dragon are carved with gold and stone. The water and grass by the pond are luxuriant, the birds on the flat sand are flocks, the scenery is beautiful, and it is the amusement resort of the king of the previous dynasty. To the east into the Han River there is a famous Baqiao, is the famous wind and moon area in the Kansai region, surrounded by willow trees, every spring group of willows flying, like the wind and snowflakes, Han Chinese people send guests eastward to fold willows here to give farewell, so it is also known as the Soul Bridge, in the past Shixian has the phrase "every year willow color, Baling hurts farewell", "Baqiao Wind and Snow" became one of the eight views of Kansai.

Seeing that his casual words reminded the other party of the sad past, the young man also felt a little remorseful, the other party has been imprisoned for many years, his wife and children have been killed in the war, and he has become a lonely family.

The thin man suddenly spoke silently, and then woke up from his sadness, and said lightly: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about Cheng Song, since Cheng Song can survive years in prison, he has seen a lot of all kinds of tribulations in the world, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to knock Cheng Song down, but the world has been turned upside down in the past few days, and it is a little difficult to adapt for a while." ”

The young man was Li Wufeng, who had been named the king of Qin by the central government of the Tang River Empire, and this thin man was one of Wufeng's gains from the Hejian Mansion Domain-the former Hejian Mansion City Guardian Fang Chengsong. Fang Chengsong was falsely imprisoned by Tan Keren on the eve of the Taiping Sect uprising, and then the Taiping Sect swept through Heshuo, Tan Keren fled in a hurry, and this Fang Chengsong was abandoned in the Hejian Mansion Prison and no one cared about it, and after the Taiping Sect took over Hejian, Yu Yongzhi and others were busy scooping up gold and silver goods and controlling the territory, and they were too lazy to ask about the prisoners in this prison, so that the former city guard was also shelved in this prison and said again and again, and then the Taiping Sect also had important prisoners thrown into the Hejian Prison, and that's it.

After graduating from Imperial University, he started from the grassroots officials because of his common people's background, and in a few years, he traveled to Tianshui, Longquan, and Hejian, and was later promoted to the city guard of Hejian, and in five years, Hejian Mansion changed from a chaotic place full of bandits and economic depression to a veritable capital of Heshuo, and its economic strength also surpassed Jinzhong Mansion that has always been the crown of Heshuo. It's a pity that although this person is pragmatic and honest, he is incompatible with his boss Tan Keren, the county guard of Heshuo County, and the two have repeatedly argued, and finally Fang Chengsong was planted in the hands of Tan Keren, but Tan Keren didn't have time to celebrate the removal of this thorn in the eye, and the Taiping Sect started an incident in Heshuo, and Heshuo fell in a blink of an eye, until the Northwest Army entered the river.

"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are motivated to endure their surnames and gain what they cannot. Wu Feng patted the other party's shoulder lightly, with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Since Brother Cheng Song can endure such hardships, he must also accept all kinds of heavy responsibilities, the current situation in the empire is sinister, foreign enemies frequently invade, and the internal strife is too urgent, this king wants to ask Brother Cheng Song to help me and save the people from fire and water, I don't know what Brother Cheng Song wants?"

Fang Chengsong actually expected that the other party would save him from prison, and he would return to Hanzhong from the river thousands of miles away, not only with fine clothes and food, but also sent Dr. Langzhong to treat his illness. But in any case, the other party's kindness also made him remember it, reasoning, like himself, who had been convicted and imprisoned before the fall, there was no room for turning over, especially in the situation in Heshuo, no one could explain what happened back then.

In fact, from the moment he was freed, Fang Chengsong tried his best to understand the situation in the empire as soon as possible, newspapers and magazines and discussions with the soldiers and officials around him became the main way for him to grasp the current situation, and after a few days, he had a general understanding of the situation in the entire empire.

It is more appropriate to say that His Royal Highness the King of Qin in front of him is not so much that he is the prince of the foreign domain, but that he is already a prince who controls half of the empire, and the nine counties and one state under the jurisdiction of the empire are already more than thirty percent in the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and in addition, he also controls the countries of the Western Regions that have not even reached the peak of the empire in the past. Northern Luzon and Burma, and even the rebellious nomadic barbarians on the Tengger steppe are also prostrate at his feet, and in the current situation, even a child can see that this Qin king has in fact completely broken away from the control of the central government of the Tang River Empire and dominates the west, and the future trend of the Tang River Empire even depends to a large extent on the eyes of His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

And the powerful military strength controlled by His Royal Highness the King of Qin is incomparable to several other parties in the empire, the once glorious Tiannan Lang clan was wiped out in an instant, and the Sanjiang Lin family, which had been choked in the throat for decades, had to rely on the support of His Royal Highness the King of Qin in order to survive under the military authority of the Maqi Khan, should he choose this towering tree as his place to live in the next life?

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little hesitant, Wu Feng did not force the other party, but just slowed down along the edge of the pool. He has actually done quite a lot of research on this person, and he already knows a little about his spleen and surname, he is born in the common people but is eager to get ahead, he is not afraid of power but hopes to show his ability to govern, it is precisely these factors that make the other party pay less attention to what is orthodox in heaven, and who can give him a stage to display his talents is the biggest factor in his willingness to work.

Youyou sighed, Fang Chengsong lowered his eyelids, thought about it again and again, and only raised his head after a while and said with a bitter smile: "Your Highness has done so much for Cheng Song, Cheng Song has nothing in his body, how can he repay the king's kindness? It's just that Cheng Song doesn't know about military affairs, only has a little income from government affairs, and I hope to be able to share some trivial tasks for His Royal Highness, that's all. ”

A wave of enthusiasm surged through Wu Feng's chest, all kinds of pretentiousness are for the other party's words, the lack of talent has made Wu Feng worried to the point of scratching his ears and cheeks, and the military generals themselves are not lacking, what they lack is the senior administrative talents who can deal with the government affairs of one party, and Fang Chengsong's performance in Hejian Mansion strongly proves this, and the other party is still the result of the boss's hard work.

"Hehehehe, with the help of Brother Chengsong, it is better than this king to get the land of Hejian!" Li Wufeng really couldn't suppress the joy in his chest, and grinned, "The gain of the battle between the rivers is not to get a land, but to have the help of Brother Chengsong!"

Seeing the other party's heartfelt joy, Rao is Fang Chengsong was mentally prepared for the other party to recruit himself from the beginning, or was deeply moved, and the other party's undisguised mood made him unable not to be moved.

"Your Highness, you have overdone it. Cheng Song from Tianshui into Kansai, all the way, what he saw and heard, the people and gentry all wholeheartedly supported His Highness's initiatives in Kansai, the barren land in the northwest, just a few years to rise in the west, even the land outside the country has surrendered to His Royal Highness's prestige, it can be seen that His Royal Highness has a lot of talents, Cheng Song only hopes to do his part in the last seat of His Royal Highness to be satisfied. Fang Chengsong won such praise from the other party, although he was happy in his heart, but he was quite self-aware, the other party could manage a huge territory with a good reputation, and there were a group of capable people under him, and he was just a newcomer, so he should be a low-key person who abides by his duty.

"Cheng Song, you don't have to be too cautious, this king hates people who can be jealous of the virtuous the most, it doesn't matter if you are talentless, if you even lose your virtue, then this king can't tolerate it. Although the people under the command of this king have different surnames, they are not very picky in their conduct, which Brother Cheng Song should also keep in mind. "Wu Feng has something to say, and Fang Chengsong is also a listener.

After a series of solemn bows, Fang Chengsong was full of solemnity: "Your Highness's words are kept in mind. ”
