Chapter 105: King Jian's Visit
It rained heavily in Lin'an City, as if someone had poked a hole in the sky above Lin'an City, and the heavy rain fell day and night for three whole days.
The construction of the "Taiping Pavilion" had to be suspended.
Ou Dake was very happy, and he even felt that this was the happiest day of his forty-eight years of life.
Yesterday, the family affairs of his only son Ou Xiaoyang were decided, he asked someone to see the overdue meeting, five months later will usher in the best double auspicious day in the last two years, it is advisable to marry, then, to his son to do the marriage, maybe a year or two, he can hold his grandson.
With his grandson, he handed over the paper shop to his son and his wife to take care of, and he took his little grandson to walk around Lin'an City, where to go for fun, Ou's branch even if he took root in Lin'an City!
Do you want to go to Huainan Tuntian with Brother Gao?
Ou Dake couldn't make up his mind for a while. He knew that his son's family affairs could be settled so quickly, because he was stained with the light of Gaoquan.
Ou Xiaoyang's fiancée is the only daughter of the shopkeeper Zhou and his wife, who originally looked down on Ou Dake, who opened a paper shop, but the two children grew up together and had affection for each other.
The shopkeeper and his wife have been asking someone to help their daughter say goodbye, but the situation of the Zhou family is bent on recruiting an honest and reliable son-in-law to come to the door, where to find the right person for a while?
The emperor gave Gao Quan's plaque of "the house of goodness", and on the second day, the shopkeeper and his wife were relieved, and yesterday, the family affairs of a pair of children were finally decided.
Ou Dake decided to go to Huainan with Brother Gao first to see if the commander he said had a problem? If it doesn't work, I'll lie back to Lin'an, when Brother Gao is in Huainan, and I'm in Lin'an, across the distance, maybe the things in the past will pass slowly, and no one will mention it, just as if there was never such a thing!
The half-open and half-hidden door of the store was kicked open with a loud "bang", and a group of people with hats and robes broke in and quickly occupied all corners of the paper store.
Bai Yu walked in slowly, "Ou Dake, your incident happened, come with me!" ”
Ou Dake recognized that the person who came in was wearing the clothes of the Imperial City Division, and he collapsed on the chair at once, his face as dead as ashes.
Ou Dake was quickly taken away, and after about half an hour, Ou Xiaoyang took advantage of the rain to lighten and rushed into his shop from the roasted food shop diagonally opposite with an oil-paper umbrella.
"Daddy, are you there?"
Ou Xiaoyang saw that there was no Ou Dake behind the counter, so he called a few times, but he didn't answer, and he felt strange in his heart.
Ou Dake's most precious paper shop, often said that this is the capital of their father and son's life, and there must be no mistakes. It's very rare to have the door open and no one in the store.
He walked to the counter and found a note pressed under the inkstone, Ou Dake told his son that Brother Gao had an urgent matter and needed his help, and he might not be able to return home for a few days, so he could take care of the shop.
Gao Quan is now famous, his father has been helping him with things recently, Ou Xiaoyang did not doubt him, took some brand new oil paper from home, closed the shop and hurriedly ran to the fried goods shop opposite.
The torrential rain in Lin'an fell for five days and five nights, and the two counties of Yuqian and Anji also had heavy floods, and the emperor and the court made every effort to relieve the disaster.
Wu Gong and Wu Ting found a high couch and crookedly, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, while drinking some wine at will.
Wu Gong arrived in Lin'an two days ago, and as soon as he came, he was taken to Qingquan Villa, and Wu Ting also moved over.
Wu Gong is forty-two years old this year, which is the best age for men, he has a short beard under his chin, his face is solemn, and he has a kind of non-angry and self-righteous spirit.
In the nineteenth year of Shaoxing, Wu Jue, who was the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan, died of illness, Wu Gong's age was the same as today's Wu Ting, after twenty years of steady and steady fighting, Wu Gong finally brought him again to the ranks of the top generals of the Great Song Dynasty, side by side with his uncle Wu Lan!
In the past two days, Wu Ting consulted with his brother at every opportunity, and he benefited a lot.
Wu Gong got up and stood in front of the window, looking at the dense rain outside the window, he turned his head sideways and asked, "Xiao Shi should perform the crown salute this year, right?" I remember that he was born in Shaoxing in the twentieth year, what month did he come? ”
Wu Ting stood side by side with him: "Xiao Shi's birthday is the twenty-first day of the winter month, and there is still half a year. ”
He glanced at Wu Gong: "Brother Lobby knows?" ”
Wu Gong sighed: "I know! I was also there in the battle in Lajiawan, but it's a pity that Yanggu's man! ”
He pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know who was the chamberlain who ordered my uncle to withdraw his army?" ”
Wu Ting shook his head: "Father didn't say it!" In these years, he never mentioned the battle of Lajiawan. Cousin, Xiao Shi doesn't know his life experience, his father's intention is to let him live a happy life, and there is no need to mention the past! ”
Wu Gong nodded: "I know." If Xiao Shi knew his life experience, how could he continue to stay in Lin'an and stay by the emperor's side? However, Xiao Wu, there has never been an impermeable wall in the world, if you want him to live a happy life, let him leave Lin'an! At least, stay away from the Imperial City! ”
Wu Ting sighed: "I know! Originally, I couldn't make up my mind about whether to support Xiao Shi to train the new army, but since my cousin said so, I encouraged Xiao Shi to leave early! ”
Wu Gong said: "This is a good opportunity!" Most of the pirates have some martial arts, and they are all ruthless and decisive, if they can be subdued, the Great Song Dynasty will add a new army that can fight and win! ”
While the two were talking, they overheard a report from the guards guarding the gate: "King Jian's visit—"
The two brothers looked at each other and said to themselves, what is he doing at this time?
But this is not the time to think about this, King Jian has already walked towards the village under the guidance of Shi Nanting, the head of Qingquan Villa.
The two brothers were wearing civilian clothes, and their feet were wearing silk shoes worn in the homely room, and they didn't have time to change their shoes at this time, so they wore light and thin silk shoes, and hurriedly greeted them despite the rain and muddy.
In a hurry, Wu Gong's shoes flew off, and he simply threw off the other shoe as well, walking barefoot on the bluestone pavement splashed with muddy water.
The chamberlain held an umbrella for King Jian, but the rain still wet his cloak, he didn't care about the droplets of water dripping from the tips of his hair, and caught up with the arms of Wu Gong and Wu Ting with both hands: "The two generals Wu don't have to be polite!" In ancient times, Cao Cao greeted him, and now General Wu greeted him barefoot, and Xiao Wang was moved! ”
Wu Gong and Wu Ting bowed their hands again: "The prince came to visit in the rain, and the last general was inexplicably moved, please inside——"
Letting King Jian to the front, the two brothers glanced at each other and tacitly agreed.
Zhao Wei knew that he had come very presumptuously, and he might even arouse the emperor's suspicion.
But he can't help but come, he doesn't want to be a little transparent, waiting to inherit the throne like a dead man. He had different political views from the emperor, and he did not approve of blindly maintaining Gou'an.
It is difficult for brothers of the same mother to grow old in peace, let alone two hostile countries. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between Song and Jin, and only one of the two great powers can exist in the end, either the Great Song Dynasty annexed the Jin State, or the Jin State destroyed the Great Song Dynasty!
Nowadays, the people's hearts are available, and the heart of the Great Song Dynasty army and people is still there, taking advantage of the fact that the Great Song Dynasty still has the strength to fight, even if it cannot completely drive out the Tartars and restore the old frontier, at least we must take the opportunity to weaken the Jin State and stabilize and expand the less obvious advantages of the Great Song Dynasty!
If you continue to delay and hand over the mission of the war to the next one, or even the next king, the morale of the Song people will be exhausted, and the heroes of the Jin Kingdom will be slaughtered in their hearts to the Great Song Dynasty, and the weak advantage of the Great Song Dynasty will not only no longer exist, but under the growth of the other, the Jin State will become stronger and stronger, and the Great Song will become weaker and weaker!
At that time, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of national extinction!
