Chapter 502 Reform the old and embrace the new

Xiao Han was talking to everyone, when he heard someone outside, he strode in with a young general in full armor, followed by four personal soldiers, and when he saw Xiao Han, he bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Wang Yan'an meets the head of Xiao and the two ladies." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xiao Han, Li Yueying, and Murong Qiuyu hurriedly returned the salute, Xiao Han naturally recognized him, and said with a smile: "Has His Royal Highness King Zheng ascended the throne?"

Wang Yanan was one of the four generals of Zheng Wufu, and he was also one of the four young guards that Xiao Han saw when he first came out of the rivers and lakes. The four generals are Li Yanning, Xiao Yanshou, Tian Yanfu and Wang Yan'an in front of him, who came to Wudang last time to give gifts.

Seeing Xiao Han's question, Wang Yanan smiled and said: "Where can it be so fast? Everything depends on the planning of the head of Xiao, and there are the hidden dragon personnel and the left army of the Divine Guard who are in battle, but fortunately, there is no danger, and everything goes smoothly." Now His Royal Highness is waiting in the mansion, saying that he has something important to discuss with Master Xiao. ”

Xiao Han nodded and said, "Please General Wang wait outside the door for a while, how about I say a few words to your brothers?" Wang Yanan nodded and bowed out.

Li Yueying had already removed the mask on her face by Sunan Xing, and when she heard that the seventh brother had succeeded in seizing power, she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried, so she bit her lip and said, "Where is my sixth brother now? Zheng Yanhua's subordinates won't hurt him, right?"

Xiao Han shook his head and said: "This matter has already been decided, Li Yu must be fine, but he must not be imprisoned and exiled, and he will be spared a life." ”

Sunan Xing said: "Let's go back to the original inn and wait for you, it is estimated that you will stay in King Zheng's Mansion tonight, and we will set off to find Concubine Bai when we come back tomorrow." ”

As soon as she spoke, everyone naturally obeyed. Xiao Han asked them to be cautious to prevent Du Canghuang from making a comeback, the enemy was in the dark, and I was in the light, so I was careful of his way. Sunan Xing agreed, and immediately took Gu Zhonghe and others to settle the store money and went to the inn.

Xiao Han took Li Yueying and Murong Qiuyu to King Zheng's mansion with Wang Yan'an, and there were Zheng Yanhua's infantry troops everywhere along the way, guarding Jinling City like an iron bucket. I happened to meet Xue Dingfang, a little general with a majestic armor, this guy made meritorious service again, and a promotion and salary increase were just around the corner, so he was so proud that even his subordinates were like being beaten with chicken blood.

Xiao Han took the two to King Zheng's mansion, and saw a brand-new army in front of the door, the number of about twenty people, but the leader was a Duyu Marquis, seeing Xiao Han coming, he immediately came over and bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Ge Qinglian has seen Master Xiao." Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, promoted?"

Ge Qinglian was originally a team leader under the commander of Qianlong, and it was rumored that he was the nephew of the commander Ge Shaofeng, who had met Xiao Han a few times, so he knew him, but he didn't expect that he had been promoted to the position of Marquis of Duyu, and sure enough, there was someone in the court who was good to be an official.

The two exchanged a few words, and Xiao Han followed Wang Yanan into the mansion. There are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in the house, all of which are Zheng Yanhua's men, and some of the people on duty are actually commanders and Du Yuhou, which shows the high level of guards.

Xiao Han was led to the front hall by Wang Yanan, only to see that the courtyard was brightly lit, and hundreds of lanterns illuminated the entire mansion as if it were daylight. There were soldiers standing all around, and several generals in the hall were standing on the left and right in full armor, and on one of the chairs sat a young man with a serious face, and on the left and right stood four or five civil servants in official uniforms.

Wang Yanan led Xiao Han to stop in front of the hall, and whispered a few words to Xiao Yanshou who was guarding the door, Xiao Yanshou saluted Xiao Han with a fist, and then said loudly to the hall: "Xiao Han, the head of the Wudang faction, and the two ladies have arrived. ”

Sitting in the middle was naturally Li Congshan, who immediately stood up when he heard the words, walked straight to the door, and all the civil and military officers looked at the door together.

Xiao Han didn't know whether he was entering the door or waiting outside the door now, and was hesitating, so he heard Li Congshan smile and said, "My military division, you can be counted as coming." Without waiting for Xiao Han to reply, Li Congshan had already turned his head to look at Li Yueying and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, my sister looks good, and I can listen to it as before, and my brother is very happy." He looked at Murong Qiuyu again and said, "Miss Murong has worked hard, and this king would like to thank the girl for taking care of Brother Xiao and her sister." ”

As he spoke, he was about to bow down, Xiao Han didn't know what his intentions were, so he immediately stopped his arm and said: "King Zheng doesn't have to be polite, Miss Li is reasonable, she gets along well with Sister Murong, and it is also appropriate to help each other, Your Highness doesn't need to be polite." ”

Li Congshan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "That's that, or I'm a foreigner." "Follow Ming Tian Yanfu and take the two ladies to the back hall to talk to the lady. Tian Yanfu took the order to lead the two of them to the back hall, and Li Congshan stepped forward and took Xiao Han's right hand and walked towards the hall.

All the generals knew Xiao Han, and now they also knew that all the plans were made by him, so they naturally admired it, and they came forward to see it, and several Wenchen were also old acquaintances, naturally Chen Qiao, Xu Xuan and others. Although Zhang Quanyue, the governor of Chizhou, was a confidant of King Zheng, he could not come for a while, so the people who discussed major matters here were all important ministers of the court.

Li Congshan has been pulling Xiao Han to sit down on a chair on the left in front of the main hall, Xiao Han still understands the etiquette system, so he naturally refuses to sit, Li Congshan insists on refusing, and all the civil and military forces also follow to persuade him to sit. Xiao Han was helpless and a little annoyed, so he moved the chair to Chen Qiao, who was standing on the left, and sat down and said, "I'm still sitting here comfortably, His Royal Highness King Zheng will give me a face, don't be embarrassed anymore, okay?"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, Li Congshan was very satisfied with Xiao Han's attitude, and smiled: "Since this is the case, Brother Xiao is free." Then he slowly retracted his smile, coughed lightly, and the door of the hall closed from the outside in an instant, and everyone's faces tightened, and they looked at Li Congshan together.

Li Congshan's face changed slightly: "Changed elbows and armpits, suddenly unexpected, Xiao Wang's actions today are really helpless, everyone accompanied me in danger, fortunately safe and sound, this king is grateful to my heart, thank you here." Then he got up and looked around.

Everyone bowed down and saluted back, saying "don't dare", Xiao Han followed and returned the salute, nominally saying that he participated in the rebellion and participated in the military reform of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Cong treated everyone well and finished saluting, sat back and said: "In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, this battle is successful, and the head of the Wudang faction Xiao has made great contributions, which can be my Tang Zhuge and Jiangnan Zifang." ”

Everyone nodded together, praising Xiao Han's rare talent, and even Xiao Han, who has always been thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed. Li Congshan compared him to Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang just now, which made him really feel ashamed. Except for being lucky, he is actually a waste of wood, he doesn't know anything, even the intrigues and tricks are learned from watching TV, there is no original ingredient at all, all of them are plagiarism.

Hearing everyone's praise, Xiao Han naturally waved his hand again and again to claim that he was ashamed, everyone laughed for a while, and seeing Li Congshan's face gradually change, everyone returned to quiet again, and looked at the center together.

Li Congshan's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on Xiao Han's face and said: "It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business." The first emperor left such a family business, which was suddenly passed on to Xiao Wang, and it was difficult to sort out a thousand things, so he asked Brother Xiao for advice. ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Han together, and Chen Qiao smiled and said: "Master Xiao, are you interested in joining me as an official in Jiangnan? Isn't it better than wandering around in the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes? Fighting, killing and killing is also dangerous and abnormal." ”

Xiao Han knew that their monarchs and ministers had already discussed, and he had had some fun staying in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and the Zhao Kuangyin brothers had also recruited him back then, so he naturally would not agree. Now that the past has reappeared, Xiao Han has been prepared for a long time, and he will not easily fall into them.

After listening to Chen Qiao's words, Xiao Han smiled and said: "Jiangnan can be ruled by His Royal Highness King Zheng, Zhongxing is just around the corner, and you will definitely leave a name in history and be famous for hundreds of generations." The words made everyone nod and smile again and again.

Everyone likes to listen to good words, no exception. Xiao Han followed: "Now that everything is in ruins, I am just a reckless man, I am used to it in the field, and I am not used to the restraint of officialdom, so it is better to be a loose person." Everyone shook their heads and sighed together, and even Li Congshan's face showed regret.

Xiao Han glanced at everyone, bowed slightly to Li Congshan and said: "The people of Jiangnan are fortunate to be ruled by His Royal Highness King Zheng, and the country is strong and the people are rich, so I am really happy in my heart." Li Congshan said modestly: "Xiao Wang has always been a little concerned about the government, and everything is unclear, so I also ask Master Xiao to give me direct advice." ”

Xiao Han laughed and said: "I'm getting an axe in front of you, I'm not right, don't laugh." Everyone even said, "Don't dare", Chen Qiao smiled and said: "Master Xiao, if you continue to be polite like this, your Wudang faction's reward will be cut in half, if you don't say it well, there will be no reward at all." ”

Everyone laughed, and Li Congshan pointed at Chen Qiao and said, "What a scholar, how can you speak to Master Xiao like this, you should slap your mouth." ”

The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, and Xiao Han was also infected, and he said, "Then I want to dare to ask, what reward can my Wudang faction get?"

Li Congshan was slightly stunned, obviously not thinking about this problem. However, he reacted very quickly, and immediately said: "I heard that the gold, silver and jewelry of Master Xiao has his own garment factory, and the monthly income is not very expensive, so it is naturally not rare. Xiao Han scolded in his heart, such a cunning King Zheng, blocked his way to ask for money with one sentence.

Li Congshan saw that his face changed slightly, and the two of them had been together for a long time, so he naturally knew what he was thinking, and then he continued: "This king allows the Wudang faction to open another garment factory in Jinling, and the land, capital, and workers are all prepared by this king, and the nineteen states in the south of the Yangtze River are exclusively operated, I don't know if the head of Xiao is willing?"

Xiao Handen jumped up and said, "Agreed, agreed." Everyone laughed, and their eyes lit up with envy and jealousy. This condition is too generous, Jiangnan is rich, in this way, the copper money and silver are not as good as flowing water to fill Xiao Han's purse?

Li Congshan smiled proudly: "Second, I will marry my little sister to you as a wife, eat 500 households, and use it according to the old practice in the palace, and give 100 taels of silver a month, is Brother Xiao willing?"

Xiao Han's heart beat faster, his demeanor was greatly lost, and he said continuously: "Yes, willing." Everyone laughed wildly, Xu Xuan smiled and quipped: "Master Xiao, can we all join your Wudang faction?" Everyone laughed and fell, Sun Zhen, Yang Shui, Zheng Yanhua, Zhu Lingyun, Xue Dingfang, Feng Zicai and other generals followed and coaxed, Li Congshan looked at everyone triumphantly, and the house was full of spring for a while, but it was like the New Year.

After a while, everyone quieted down again, and Li Congshan said with a smile: "It's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, this king still understands this truth, the reward has been completed, can Brother Xiao teach this king?"

Xiao Han stood up straight, bowed to Li Congshan and said, "For today's plan, it is nothing more than the four words of reform and acceptance." ”
