Chapter 196: The Major Forces
After Wang Chong left, Meng Changsheng sat down in the room, opened the recital and looked at it carefully, the first information object in the recital was the Pingnan Palace, which was famous in the south of the Yangtze River - Pingnan King Wu Gui, and now the only king of the opposite sex under the Wu Dynasty!
However, when it comes to today's Pingnan King Wu Gui, I have to say that Yang Quan, the king of Zhennan ten years ago,
Ten years ago, there was still only one king of the opposite sex in the world, but it was not the current Pingnan King Wu Gui, but the Zhennan King Yang Quan, the current Pingnan King Wu Gui was the first general under the Zhennan King Yang Quan at that time, the Zhennan King at that time was inclined to the south of the Yangtze River, and he supported the army and self-respect, and there were many masters under him, and the court was jealous and wanted to eradicate the Zhennan King, but he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of startling the grass and snakes, so he came up with a beauty plan.
The imperial court announced that the world would marry Princess Gaoyang, who was already sixteen years old at that time, and the princess Gaoyang was full of beauty to the king of Zhennan, of course, this is all on the surface, in fact, the court ostensibly married Princess Gaoyang Zhao Feixue to Yang Quan, the king of Zhennan, but in fact, it was planning to take advantage of the slack of the king of Zhennan on the wedding day to eradicate the king of Zhennan in one fell swoop.
On the day of the wedding, the imperial court really launched an attack on the Zhennan Wangfu and killed the king of Zhennan on the charge of rebellion, but it was not the imperial court that played a decisive role in that battle, but Wu Gui, the first general under the king of Zhennan at that time.
Afterwards, the king of Zhennan was destroyed, and the court didn't know whether it was really to reward Wu Gui's merits or to fancy his strength and want to envelop this person, maybe both, but Wu Gui was named the king of Pingnan!
However, now it seems that this king of Pingnan is a king of Zhennan, with power in Jiangnan, supporting the army and self-respect, and there are 100,000 elite soldiers under his hands, and according to Wang Chong's above news, most of the officials in Jiangnan have only listened to Wu Gui, the king of Pingnan, and not the imperial court, which can be said to be covering the sky in Jiangnan.
"What a character!" After roughly reading the information of Wu Gui, the king of Zhennan, Meng Changsheng also had to sigh, this Wu Gui is indeed a character, from his betrayal of the original master Zhennan King to the position of the king of Pingnan, it can be seen that this person's means and ruthlessness, is definitely a heroic character, although the reputation is not good, but in these years, when you are really in power, what is the reputation, you don't see, now Jiangnan is not a few people who dare to say Wu Gui or something in the open, to put it bluntly, it is still a fist of the truth, if you can rule the world, the whole world is your wordγ
Looking at Wu Gui's information, Meng Changsheng looked at the information of the other people of King Pingnan, not much, there are only four people who are really important, three generals under Wu Gui, all of them are master monks, and one is Wu Quan, the only son of King Pingnan, but seeing Wu Quan's information, Meng Changsheng couldn't help but sigh slightly - he is really a tiger father and a dog!
Wu Gui, the king of Pingnan, who has the power to the south of the Yangtze River, but his only son Wu Quan is completely a playboy, his strength has only reached the second-rate level, and he lingers in the land of fireworks all day long.
"The peony flower is dead, and the ghost is also romantic, although it is a little sneering, but in comparison, this royal highness of the prince is worth it in this life. β
Meng Changsheng commented on this prince with a little joking, and then continued to look back.
"Princess Gaoyang Zhao Feixue, the first beauty in Jiangnan, is indeed worthy of it. Meng Changsheng couldn't help but think of the figure of Zhao Feixue on the painting boat when he returned to Langya last time, his figure was enchanting, and he was more beautiful than Huajiao, he was indeed captivating the country and the city, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it would bring disaster to the country and the people: "However, it's a pity..."
Then he shook his head again, Zhao Feixue is beautiful, and she is a princess of the court, but she is also an unfortunate person, she can't escape the fate of marriage, and it is also an obviously sacrificial marriage, obviously the Wu Dynasty was ready to eradicate the king of Zhennan at that time, and also married Zhao Feixue, even if the king of Zhennan was destroyed on the day of the wedding, and even Zhao Feixue still maintained a complete body, but nominally, Zhao Feixue was already married to the king of Zhennan at that time, and even if she is alive now, she still can't get rid of this identity - widow!
In this era when women's fame is greater than life, there is no doubt that Zhao Feixue's fame is ruined, and the Wu Dynasty at that time obviously regarded this princess as a victim of eradicating the king of Zhennan.
After taking a cursory look at the famous Gaoyang princess Zhao Feixue, Meng Changsheng continued to look down.
"Jing Yuan waits for Wang Lin, the county guard Lin Qitong, and his daughter Lin Yuefu, how do you feel that the name is a little familiar...."
Meng Changsheng frowned slightly, looking at the name of the daughter of the prefect of Hangzhou, he felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but after thinking about it, he couldn't remember it, so he stopped thinking about it and continued to look down.
"The Ministry of War judged the martial arts to be outstanding, the cultivation was unfathomable, suspected of being a strong monk, in charge of the Hangzhou garrison, the only son Wu Kongming, the first talent and beautiful man in Hangzhou, this martial artist is not simple. β
Looking at the information of the martial arts, Meng Changsheng couldn't help but keep a little more in his heart, secretly remembered it in his heart, and continued to look down.
"Ma family!" Meng Changsheng was slightly stunned at first, but after a few more glances, he couldn't help but laugh: "Fate is really a wonderful thing. β
Meng Changsheng smiled, because this Ma family is not another family, it is the Ma family that Zhao Changfeng married Zhao Abao that day, when he heard Li Younian give him a brief story about the situation of the Ma family, the head of the Ma family is the court servant Ma Qiong, from the third grade, and now the official in Hangzhou is Ma Qiong's son Ma Lian, the judge of the Ministry of Law, from the fifth grade official.
And Zhao Abao is married to Ma Yuming, the son of this Ma Lian, from the information, this Ma Lian is also ordinary in Hangzhou as the judge of the Ministry of Law, not too prominent, but not bad, the reputation is also good, Ma Mingyu is a student of Hangzhou College, has been famous for a long time, and is one of the famous talents in Hangzhou.
"No wonder Zhao Changfeng's old Wang Ba didn't look down on him at the beginning, compared with this Ma Yuming, the gap between himself at that time was indeed too obvious. β
After reading the information of the Ma family and Ma Yuming's information, the background is strong, and he is a talented man who has been famous in Hangzhou for a long time, although he also has some strength at the beginning, but I have to say that compared with this Ma Yuming, I did have a big gap at that time.
But that was before, as for now? Thinking of the present, Meng Changsheng shook his head again, these are all in the past, and although he had some entanglements with the Zhao family at the beginning, and it was a little unpleasant, but when it came to it, he also had a powerful purpose, and in general, it was actually not who was right or who was wrong.
People don't look down on themselves, and marrying their daughter to the Ma family is also their choice, can they still force others to marry their daughter to themselves, this is too unreasonable.
I couldn't help but smile and shook my head and continued to look down.
Although the materials collected by Wang Chong are only the basic information of the major forces in Hangzhou, they are all complete, from the top to the officials in power in Hangzhou, down to some famous families, merchant families, and even some more famous people.
The information is not very detailed, but it is very complete, which just allows Meng Changsheng to have an understanding of some of the patterns and situations in Hangzhou.
It took more than half an hour, Meng Changsheng finished reading this information, and then stayed in the room, waiting for Li Mu to arrive in the afternoon.
