Desks were placed on the left and right sides of the lobby, and the two of them sat together, and Tinghe turned sideways and said, "Young Master Yang, Young Master Xie, please take a seat." ”

Not to mention Lu Wen and the others, Xie Lu himself was surprised, how could he and Yang Yi sit on the first place on the left?

Xie Lu, the oldest, used to have the highest official position among this group of young people, but the family really doesn't care about this, they are talking about the status of the family, but unfortunately, the Xie family is in this group of families, and they are currently in the middle and lower class, it is said that Yang Yi should sit with Lu Wen in the first place on the lower left.

Zhao Hanzhang arranged this way, and he attached great importance to Xie Lu's expression.

Everyone looked at Xie Lu in unison, could it be that this brother who has been with them has outstanding talents that they haven't seen yet, and Zhao Hanzhang has already seen it across thousands of mountains and rivers?

What Xie Lu thought was, could it be that Zhao Hanzhang knew that he had a close relationship with King Langya, so he suspected that he had ulterior motives?

Thinking of the soft sword and short dagger that were taken away when he entered the mansion just now, Xie Lu was a little flustered, wouldn't he really have a misunderstanding because of this?

He panicked for a moment, and soon came to his senses, just that, he had come here, Zhao Hanzhang really wanted to harm him because of this, and it was also his fate, and it was useless to struggle.

Thinking of this, Xie Lu accepted it calmly, and walked to the first seat with Yang Yi and sat down.

Others also sat down in their assigned seats.

Tinghe glanced at a maid waiting at the door, and she retreated, and in a short time a group of servants came in with trays.

They were only sixteen or seventeen years old, agile in posture and light in their steps, and as they placed tea and snacks on the table, Lu Wen saw the calluses in their hands, and at first glance they were holding knives.

Lu Wen's heart trembled, this great general's mansion will not be full of soldiers from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, right?

Although Lu Wen didn't think it was all right, it was almost the same, except for the servants in the inner courtyard who were sent over after the Wang family's training, all the people in the outer court were selected from the army.

The servants who serve tea and water are not just serving tea and water, they are not slaves, but military members, more to protect Zhao Hanzhang, if there is an accident, they can react more quickly.

Putting down the refreshments, the servants withdrew again, leaving only six people standing behind everyone on either side, paying attention to everyone's needs.

Tinghe invited them to drink some tea first, indicating that Zhao Hanzhang would arrive in a while.

Zhao Hanzhang had been waiting for them in the lobby, but suddenly received news from Shu, and after half a year, Zhao Xin finally persuaded the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty who were still stubbornly resisting Shu to hand over those places to Shu to manage.

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly went to contact Zhao Xin, asked him to choose a credible person to stay in Shudi, and brought back the remaining officials and soldiers, and said to him, "If King Cheng has the talent he wants, the other party is also willing, don't force them to come back." ”

After the New Year, the mission of Chengguo went back, and Zhao Hanzhang officially issued an edict to entitle Li Xiong as the king of Chengdu, abolish his Yanping year name, and crown his prince as the prince of Chengdu.

Li Xiang went back with the mission himself.

The reason why it will be so smooth is because Zhao Hanzhang never thought about keeping Li Ban, and keeping him at this time is suspected of asking the other party to be a hostage.

Zhao Hanzhang and Li Xiong just came into contact, and when they tried to get along with each other, she didn't want to stiffen the relationship.

But Li Ban especially wanted to stay, especially after meeting Zhao Cheng, he ran to Zhao Cheng every day, wanting to worship him as a student.

For this reason, he went to the door of people's homes to wait before dawn on a cold day, knowing that Zhao Cheng liked to eat mutton soup and cakes from Willow Lane, he went to fetch a mutton soup and cakes and sent them to Zhao's house every morning.

Even Zhao Hu couldn't help but speak for Li Ban, "He is more filial than your son, why don't you accept such a good student?" ”

Zhao Cheng also had a moment's heartbeat, but thinking of Li Ban's identity, he shook his head again.

Li Xiang went to ask Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Cheng spoke, and he accepted Li Ban, a student.

Zhao Hanzhang's original plan was to send people away after the Lantern Festival, as for Li Ban's studies, he is not a real child, and he can also study by correspondence.

But...... Li Ban insisted on staying, he was interested in the new textbooks in Taixueli, the different points of view in Di Bao and "The Boundless Sea of Learning", and he was also interested in Zhao Cheng's teaching philosophy......

He felt that he was weak and ignorant at this time, even if he returned to Shu, he couldn't do anything for the people, he wanted to learn his skills here, and then return to Shu to be his uncle and share the worries of the people in Shu.

In a word, he wants to study in Luoyang!

Ji Yuan, Ming Pre and Zhao Cheng took turns to persuade him to no avail, and in the end, Zhao Hanzhang saw that he was so determined, and let him stay with a wave of his hand.

Li Xiang left some people to protect Li Ban, and he returned with his credentials and mission.

Because Chengguo has become a vassal state of the Great Jin, the two places have strengthened exchanges and learning.

As soon as Li Xiang returned to Chengguo, Li Xiong immediately selected twelve young children to send them to Luoyang to study, and at the same time, Chengguo purchased a large amount of salt from the Great Jin Dynasty and exchanged many craftsmen to build water mills, waterwheels, etc.

These exchanges spread to the mountains in the southwest, and the officers and soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, who had been unwilling to listen to Zhao Xin's persuasion and handed over the county to Chengguo for governance, were silent for a while, and finally were willing to sit down and communicate with Zhao Xin face to face.

"The prince of Chengguo is now hostage in Luoyang?"

Zhao Xin corrected: "Chengguo is now a vassal state of the Great Jin Dynasty, with only a prince and no prince. ”

Then he nodded and said: "Li Shizi is now studying in Taixue, studying under Zhao Zitu, who is also a family teacher. ”

Ma Cheng had never heard of Zhao Cheng's name before, and he knew that he was not a great Confucian, but his surname was Zhao, and he could make sacrificial wine, and Li Ban also worshipped him as a teacher, which should be from the Xiping Zhao family and had something to do with Zhao Hanzhang.

This means that Chengguo really obeyed Zhao Hanzhang, not pretending to be weak, but really obediently becoming a vassal state.

Ma Cheng looked back at his comrades who were hungry and cold, because of the war, many people fled, they could not collect military rations, and the soldiers in the army had been starving since the beginning of winter.

"If we give up the place to Chengguo, what will I do?"

Zhao Xin immediately said: "General Ma naturally returned to Beijing with me to report on his work, you defend the country and the land, the general will arrange it well, and he will not treat you badly." ”

glanced at the people behind him, and said: "If you soldiers don't dislike it, you can also follow us back to Beijing, if you don't give up Shudi, you can also stay, I am willing to recommend you and King Cheng." ”

Zhao Xin said: "King Cheng is a generous-minded and benevolent person, and he will not anger you because of previous grievances. ”

Ma Cheng snorted coldly, not believing it, he said directly: "Let's go together!" ”

Zhao Xin didn't stop him, he nodded directly, there was a shortage of people everywhere outside, no matter how many people he took away, he could arrange it.

Ma Cheng surrendered, Zhao Xin knew where the point of persuasion was, and in the next four months, he walked everywhere, crossed mountains and mountains, waded across rivers and rivers, and found one after another forces that resisted Chengguo, and Chengguo had become a vassal state of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the prince of Chengguo was now a hostage in Luoyang as a pry point to pry them all down.

Some people died, but not completely......
