Chapter 398: People's hearts float, messengers give gifts
"Childe, there is a lot of discussion in the palace these days, and people's hearts are a little fluctuating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhou Fencao said.
Since the victory in Zhongzhou, the news has made waves. Many people felt that since the barbarian army was defeated, it was logical for the imperial court to recover Yongzhou. In this way, the domestic forces will be reshuffled, and Laoshan Mansion is no exception.
What is the court's attitude towards Chen Sanlang?
It's a bit mysterious!
But no matter what, as long as Chen Sanlang is transferred away and leaves Laoshan Mansion and even Yongzhou, then the impact on the people below will be self-evident. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the political arena: people die and politics rest.
In the same way, even if the person is still there, if he changes his place, the decree that was originally implemented is likely to be completely overturned, and there is no longer any existence.
To put it bluntly, if Chen Sanlang is no longer in Laoshan Mansion, the current system of dividing land, taxes, various industrial developments, and so on will be abolished.
In such a situation, how can you still do things with peace of mind?
Chen Saburo asked, "What about our people?"
"Everything is fine. ”
Zhou Fencao smiled.
The so-called "our people" refers to the people brought from Jing County. This group of initial followers was loyal and had no second heart for Chen Sanlang, and they had already made up their minds in their hearts: wherever Chen Sanlang went, they would follow.
These people have become the backbone of Laoshan Mansion.
After Chen Sanlang entered the capital city, the treatment given to them was also extremely generous, and slowly, this group of people has formed a class.
"Sir, you go to make an announcement to appease people's hearts, as for the government officials, but there are critics, once they are discovered, they will be punished. ”
Zhou Fencao nodded and replied, "I understand." ”
With that, he walked out.
Seeing him leave, Chen Sanlang sighed: It's really an eventful autumn, and there must be no moment of silence!
The rivers and grasses rushed to come.
Chen Sanlang asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Jiang Caoqi said: "I received information that the rebel army in Yongzhou will join forces and gather together and go to the state and county to block the Shipo army. ”
Chen Sanlang smiled: "These people are not stupid. ”
Li Hengwei read out the holy decree and said that no matter who kills Shi Pojun, he can become the assassin of Yongzhou. This pie is bigger than the sky. However, a discerning person also knows that although the Shi Po army has been defeated, there are still tens of thousands of remnants, which should not be underestimated. There is no doubt that these troops can get out of the big war, they must be elite, and they belong to the personal soldiers of the Shi Po Army, so they have not dispersed.
The rebel army in Yongzhou has a poor foundation and cannot compete with the regular army at all. Well, there is only a numerical advantage. There must be numbers, and a single rebel army will definitely not be able to do it, only to unite and form alliances.
Jiang Caoqi said: "If nothing happens, someone will come to us soon, San Lang, in your opinion, will you fight?"
Chen Sanlang glanced at him: "Do you want to fight?"
Jiang Caoqi rubbed his hands and grinned. Saying that you don't want to fight is against your will. A general has a hundred battles, born in this world, who doesn't want to make a contribution?
Chen Sanlang knew his intentions and was about to say something, when a disciple told him that a messenger asked to see him.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and he was not slow.
"Tell him to sit in the living room first. ”
Menzi answered and went to greet himself.
Chen Sanlang said: "Brother-in-law, let's go, let's go and see where this messenger is coming from." ”
When they came to the hall, they saw the messenger. He was about forty years old and very lean. It seems that it should be a person who is constantly on the move, with a weathered face.
When the envoy saw Chen Sanlang, he was neither arrogant nor humble, and his attitude was very calm. It seems that the homework has also been done at home, and I know the identity of Chen Sanlang.
Chen Sanlang secretly praised it, thinking that such a person could be regarded as a real messenger. In the past, the one sent by Su Zhenhong to greet him was completely looking for a draw.
"In Xia Liuyuan, from Zhongyuan Mansion, entrusted by Lord Mo, I came to meet Chen Gongzi. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the entourage behind him took out a burden.
This Liu Yuan took it and opened it, revealing a box inside, but half a foot long, very delicate: "It's a little meaning, it's not a tribute." ”
Chen Sanlang took it, opened it, and saw a thing inside, boxy, with a simple color, and a shape on it, but it was a tiger-shaped, lying there, lifelike, and responding to the two words "tiger".
Reaching out to pick it up, it was quite weighty, and I could see that this was a paperweight.
The meaning of paperweight, as the name suggests, is used to hold down paper. The shapes are different, there are long strips, there are four directions, and the texture is also different, iron, wood and stone, some are luxurious, and gold and silver are used, which is really jeweled. The four treasures of the study, the paperweight is not among them, but it is also an extremely important thing, but everyone who reads basically has it. If the family background is not good, directly cut a piece of wood to use.
Now this side is made of stone, the texture of the stone is delicate, the whole body is tender yellow, and it has its own extravagance.
This is Shou Huangshi!
Chen Sanlang was a little moved.
This stone is rare, the origin is only in a field in Shouhuang County, the size is only ten acres, under repeated mining, it has already been extinct a hundred years ago, it is handed down in the world, each piece is worth a lot, the quality is high, it is not exchanged. If you carve a little thumb into a seal, you can sell it for a sky-high price.
Looking at this paperweight, the color is soft and deep, and it is obviously the top grade. Look at the carving again, see the real chapter in the subtlety, lively and vivid, when it is everyone's work.
In this way, the value of this thing can be imagined.
Chen Sanlang's fingers slid across the delicate stone surface and muttered, "No merit is not a blessing, this gift is too precious, I can't accept it." ”
As he spoke, he closed the box and placed it on the desk. The other party is from Zhongyuan Mansion, and they are plain to each other, and it will definitely not be so simple to offer such a heavy gift for no reason.
That Liu Yuan smiled: "Chen Gongzi doesn't need to worry too much, and listen to what I said, this thing is a gift from my family, and you deserve it." ”
Chen Sanlang was stunned: "Repay the favor?"
"My family's surname is Mo, the word Xuanyi, from Dongting. ”
"Mo Xuanyi?"
As soon as he heard it, Chen Sanlang immediately remembered. The celebrity who used to follow Yuan Geshu was invited by Yuan Geshu from Dongting Lake. At that time, at the behest of Yuan Geshu, this person once came to Jing County to pretend to be a thief, intending to assassinate him, but failed. At that time, Xu Nianniang made a move, used thunderous means, and abolished his cultivation in one fell swoop.
Later, Mo Xuanyi returned to Yangzhou, Yuan Wenchang blamed him, and it was difficult to escape, so he escaped from Yangzhou, but he was chased and killed all the way, and fled to the dock in Yongzhou, where he met Chen Sanlang.
Chen Sanlang didn't know it was him at the beginning, and when he saw that the road was uneven, he came to the rescue, but he hit it by mistake. After recognizing it, I don't feel how to regret it. Those past grievances have long since faded, and instead gave him a bag of silver.
Time has passed, and I got the news from the other party again, this Mo Xuanyi actually entered the Zhongyuan Mansion and became the leader of a powerful rebel army, which is really surprising.
This person does have the ability.
