Gathering of Storms (59)
Kou Zhun was satisfied, after this battle, Jianhou Camp was familiar with the war, and he was not crushed by his will. Especially in the Jianhou camp, there are weapons in hand at the south gate, and with the ability to defend and attack, there is a foothold, and the next thing will be easy to do. Now Kou Zhun is thinking about it is extremely cautious, he will not be unable to consider the current situation with the steps of the bandits, he needs to conserve his strength in prudence, and at the same time, the supply and settlement of manpower must be used at any time. There are many things that Kou Zhun can't do alone, and the prestige in the army is Wang Jixian in addition to him, but in fact, in his mind, Kou Zhun values He Jin more. Before coming south, Kou Zhun specially mentioned it to Zhao Heng, and he actually said that he would use it immediately to save these people. Kou Zhun's intentions Zhao Heng didn't know, the dark ten directions of the heavens, the eight directions of the earth network is the emperor's life talisman, so that Kou Zhun can be in charge of the ten directions of the heaven Luo is not the emperor's trust, but the emperor has enough confidence to trust the eight directions of the network, which shows the power of the eight directions of the network. Although Chaowu knew the existence of darkness, he didn't know anything about its establishment and scale, and Kou Zhun just wanted to test it.
To this end, Zhao Heng deliberately put a lot of effort. Although the vertical and horizontal goalkeepers Tang Yu and He Jin were imprisoned respectively, the dark eight-sided ground net was pervasive, and they rescued the two with one blow. For this matter, Zonghengmen deliberately kept quiet, but secretly chased and beat the rescuer, although the person was saved, the loss was not small, Tang Yu's four beautiful maids were even more desperately blessed, leaving only Xia He alone. The people were rescued, but Tang Yu was disheartened and insisted on retreating. As for Long Xiangzi, who was arrested, he became Zhang Shaoying's swordsman, and he couldn't persuade him back, while Zhang Yuyi has always been taken by Ji Lingshuang's side, and he is very well-behaved. But with the South Gate Prison Gate He Jin, Kou Zhun was still pleased, so Kou Zhun personally led the civil and military generals to greet him, so he didn't care. The eagerness amazed the generals. For the six guards in front of the emperor, the government and the opposition are all disdainful, and they only feel that these people are just the emperor's favor, but they are just a showman, after all, no one has seen the skills of a few people. But Kou Zhun's posture shocked He Jin's spirit, even if he was captured, he was arrogant. The Zonghengmen did not embarrass him, and served him with good food and drink. And he also knew that he would always go out, and as the Chaowu became more and more ruthless, He Jin knew his position.
A person like him who was fortunate enough to be in front of the emperor, with the emperor's trust, had an even more conceivable influence on the emperor, and the Zongheng faction would definitely consider this, otherwise what was the point of this battle? He Jin has always held the sword of Zhongrong. Hu Dao's death dealt a big blow to He Jin, but what he could do was not revenge, but to follow his friend's wishes and fulfill his responsibilities. Staring at the generals, although He Jin had seen Wang Jixian, it was all when he was waiting for His Majesty, and his identity was just an inner eunuch, but today is different. He represents one of the six guards of the Imperial Inner Class. Although he knew Wang Jixian's identity, he was in the palace. When Wang Jixian appeared as the imperial inner class, they were all wearing hats.
also stared at He Jin, before he came to the south, he had a lot of vicissitudes, and he also experienced a lot when he came to the south, and what he lost was not the original arrogance. It's a more real pride. After a long time, Wang Jixian said: "Being captured is a shame, but it can also be regarded as the beginning of glory, and the pride of the imperial class will never regress." He Jin responded: "What Your Excellency said, the generals in the army will keep it in mind. Then the two of them saluted. He Jin walked towards Kou Zhun. The Imperial Inner Class is the personal guard of the Emperor, and it is strictly forbidden for officers and soldiers to associate with each other, and it is because the Imperial Inner Class is masked when they are engaged in it except for the six major guard commanders.
Kou Zhun stared at He Jin and praised: "Gains and losses are not humiliation, you are very good." He Jin saluted and replied in a deep voice: "The pride of the lower officials today is due to the gift of His Majesty, and he should do his best to repay it in this life." Kou Zhun nodded in approval, such a military general with both civil and military skills is indeed what he needs, His Majesty's vision is okay, with his cronyistic temperament, he will always cultivate a few capable cadres, Zhao Heng will not be unprepared, these people around him are the ones he trusts the most. Kou Zhun specially prepared a banquet for He Jin, and many people who were familiar with He Jin sighed that He Jin was much more arrogant and calm, and there was emotion in his eyes, which was completely different from the condescending, indifferent and rigorous in the past. It was at the reception banquet that Kou Zhun immediately appointed He Jin as the capital of the Qingtian Camp, He Jin refused, and sighed: "My roots are in the south gate, and I also ask Kou to attach to my south gate." Kou Zhun nodded, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I will hand over the six commanders of the light cavalry assisted by the East Gate to you, and merge them into the South Gate as the Southern Sect, and you will also serve as the Sect Master of the South Gate and the West Sect." He Jin shook his head and said: "Martial arts know that it is twisted into a rope, we have the true sect master and the deputy sect master, and there must be a prison gate, one mountain does not allow two masters, what we need is to integrate the strength, not these complicated officials and lords, there will be no more prison gates in the south gate in the future, and I implore Kou Xiang to attach the minister to the south sect and serve His Majesty." Kou Zhun nodded in agreement, and said: "I am no longer the prime minister, and this dynasty cannot tolerate two prime ministers. He Jin sighed: "The ministers are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and your majesty, but now the Great Song Dynasty is now only Kou Xiang can bear the national disaster, and in the hearts of the army, only Kou Xiang can be the public, and the name of the prime minister is not the prime minister's appearance, and it should be respected." Kou Zhun nodded, but there was not much joy. The six guards Kou Zhun only knew five people, and the other Imperial Inner Class Master originally thought it was Zhao Heng himself, but when he came into contact with the darkness, Kou Zhun knew that it was not His Majesty. And among the five Wang Jixian, He Jin, Daozu, Wang Yanchang, and Kunnu, only Wang Jixian is familiar with He Jin, and he also understands the overall situation. Especially the Dao Ancestor and Kunnu, they are only loyal to His Majesty, and for him, who is a noble prime minister, he is just a royal minion, although he can be abandoned from time to time, except for the etiquette on weekdays, he rarely speaks to Kou Zhun.
Subsequently, Kou Zhun retreated left and right and talked with He Jin secretly for a long time before he was sent out of the camp. He Jin didn't let anyone send it, but in front of the big camp, the remaining nine disciples of the imperial inner class led by He Jin all came to greet him, crying bitterly. He Jin sighed lightly and let the group get up, but asked about everyone's current situation. This inquiry really frightened the Imperial Inner Ban, once upon a time the commander of the guard had such a move? Along the way, He Jin was chatting with the Imperial Inner Class, speaking very plainly, which really flattered the Imperial Inner Class, He Jin even compared his foot strength with the Imperial Inner Class, and instructed everyone on the shortcomings of walking. For He Jin's change, the imperial class was delighted and apprehensive, as if in a dream. When they arrived at the Sangfeng camp, Guo Xiao led Li Bozhong, the sect leader of the West Sect of the South Gate, and He Jinchang, the sect leader of the North Sect, to greet him in front of the Yuanmen, and there were not many people. As in the past, Guo Xiao, who once led the south gate for his subordinates, but He Jin was not jealous, and he did not feel ashamed of being captured this time, because he saw an unforgettable scene in his life, which power and money could not be exchanged. As for Guo Xiao, He Jin still doesn't know much about this person, although he is obese in this life, he is still dressed in Confucian shirts, which looks very weird, but he still likes to use swords and wear white clothes. In fact, Guo Xiao's appearance does not leave a deep impression on people except for obesity, but the seemingly opinionated character exposes his calm and introverted personality.
But compared to Guo Xiao at the South Gate, in his position, the character of being a certain politician jumped to the top. That confidence, that calmness, that dignification is so skillful and comfortable. Despite this, Guo Xiao still greeted him with a VIP gift, after all, He Jin's document had not been officially issued. This time, there was no banquet, Guo Xiao set up a tea meeting at the top of Sang Peak, He Jin knew Guo Xiao's intentions and gladly agreed. The four of them sat opposite each other, and a pot of tea was fragrant, but He Jin had never smelled it. The mountain breeze is slight, with the impact of the bonfire in the mountains, the fog of the mulberry peak is gradually clear, and the green in the mountains is as magnificent as the rain, it is so majestic, so fresh and natural. Guo Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Today's tea meeting friends, I don't know if you are interested in the army?" He Jin snorted and said: "The Tao is the same, the people are the same, and the three ways can be taught?" Guo Xiao asked: "Is this a friend's last wish?" He Jin shook his head and said: "The last wish is only an emotional bond, and inheritance is the continuation of faith." Guo Xiao asked: "Do you know the principles of heaven, the people of heaven, and the nature of nature." He Jin said: "Heavenly principles are positive, and the discomfort is left and right, the people of heaven are the key elements, it is the essence of the world, nature is desire, it is where the change is, where the nature is, is where the advocacy is, the heart is good, the light is dark, then the heavenly reason, look up to the desires of people." Li Bozhong and He Jinchang are both new, and they are promoted internally, and the first time they were with these powerful people was terrified, and when they heard these remarks, they were shocked and at the same time carefully realized that if these things are glowing out, it will change the ethics of the world. Like these powerful people, their behavior can easily affect people's morality, but all this seems reliable, but will His Majesty the Emperor accept this?
Seeing the trembling of the two, He Jin swept towards the two, then looked at Li Bozhong, and asked, "I don't know what Your Excellency is?" Li Bozhong bowed and said: "The surname is Li Bozhong, the word is Xiankui, and I have seen friends in the army." He Jin returned the salute and asked He Jinchang: "Brother Yongji should be familiar with the road when he is about to come to the door, and he will be caught, right?" He Jinchang smiled and responded: "Farewell in the past, reunion today, Shengjian at the south gate, can have such a demeanor in the military brother, it is also a lesson for us." He Jin smiled bitterly, it seems that after being captured, these people's views of him have changed a lot, at least they dare to call him brothers, this is exactly what he needs, arrogance is not indifference, but the connotation of self-learning and knowledge. He Jin replied: "Compared to being defeated and captured, this is nothing. He Jinchang said: "Then I thought that I could know all this, these are not suitable for the South Gate, and the South Gate is not here at all." He Jin sighed: "And this is exactly the unclear place of our so-called righteousness and so-called loyalty." Even the bandits you don't know are following this, and this is not a duel of forces, but human nature. Guo Xiao sighed: "Isn't what they are doing for their own benefit?" (to be continued......)
