Jinghai City,
is a large city in the easternmost part of the south of the Qianjiang River. The Qianjiang River has since flowed through and flowed into the sea, so it can be said that it occupies a unique advantage.
Therefore, although it does not belong to the heart of Jiangnan in the traditional sense, the prosperity here is not inferior to others.
There is also a Yupan City in Jin. It was very prosperous in the past. Now, due to the rise of eastern Shanxi, it has returned to its former glory. Scholars in Jin compare Yupan City to Xiaojiangnan in Jin. However, If you see it with your own eyes, compared to Jinghai City, Yupan City really pales in comparison.
This is Jiangnan,
This is... richness.
There is a saying that if you do not enter Jiangnan in this life, it is as if you have never been to the world.
Jinghai City,
Flower Viewing Building,
Third floor, private seats.
Zheng Fan was leaning on the railing, looking at the dancing girl below.
Looking around, there are many literati's pens hanging on the surrounding railings, some describing scenery, some writing about singing and dancing, some writing about bohemian behavior...
There are even some who have served the country loyally and vowed to march to the north. .
The glass of wine in the prince's hand almost spit out;
Seeing this, Xie Yu'an smiled and said:
"It's also interesting, in this place of fireworks and willow lanes, There are actually people who wrote poems about the Northern Expedition."
The prince shook his head,
corrected:
"If you can stay here, you won't be confused by the flowers. Those who remain determined and think about national affairs are truly outstanding people."
"Hahahaha"
Xie Yu'an laughed.
After getting along with each other these days, he has figured out some of the prince's temper;
How should I put it,
When it does not involve national affairs and military affairs,
This prince is actually very talkative;
Moreover, this prince seems to like to have someone around him who can talk to him to relieve his boredom, and he does not talk about state affairs, but only talks about romance. .
Xie Yuan felt that if the person in front of him was not the prince and the two knew each other, he would be happy to make this friend.
Immediately,
Xie Yuan suddenly realized,
Did the emperor of Yan feel the same way as himself?
Moreover, the Emperor of Yan and the prince knew each other much earlier. At that time, one was an idle prince and the other was a business school captain. Their relationship at that time could only be purer and more sincere.
This is a... discovery that is unlikely to appear on the documents. No matter how powerful the Fengchao inner guards are, it is impossible to obtain and analyze the "true feelings between the Regent of Dayan and the Emperor of Dayan" "Explanation of the relationship.
But the longer the contact lasted, the more Xie Yuan felt that this possibility must be real.
And because the two people's equal strength has increased, it can actually make the relationship between them stronger.
It's just that it's too late to know and understand this now...
Da Chu has been defeated.
"My lord, does it look good?" Siniang came over and asked.
The prince immediately shook his head,
looked at his princess,
and said:
"Of course she is far worse than you."< /p>
This is really not a desire for survival.
The dance of Si Niang is quite wonderful, and Si Niang knows more types of dances;
It’s just that, Only Zheng Fan in this world can appreciate it.
The bastard is already that big, and it has been more than ten years since he woke up in this world, but Si Niang’s face shows no signs of aging at all, not even a crow’s foot.
On the other hand, I cannot say that I am old, but I feel more and more like I used to when I saw the characters in ancient scrolls.
In the beginning, Siniang was like a royal sister to me;
Now, she is a spoiled wife;
In a few years, she will It's like being an old cow eating young grass.
“But what’s refreshing here is this kind of atmosphere.”
In Jindong, there are also high-end venues, which are more upscale than here, and the fun is more advanced;
But this kind of thing requires a group of "elegant" people to create this atmosphere. In the east of Shanxi, no, in the entire Jin area including Yan area, there are still mostly rough men who chew peonies. There is no way. Gather this tune.
“Sometimes, even if you don’t do anything, just sitting here, drinking and watching dancing is a kind of enjoyment and entertainment. It is impossible to put it anywhere else.”
"The Lord said so." Siniang believed deeply.
Xie Yuan stood aside silently, saying nothing.
The prince was discussing the red curtain with the princess. In Xie Yuan's opinion, this might be regarded as a "husband and wife secret". How could he interrupt?
There are many people in the private room.
The sword master sat near the door,
the sword maker sat near the window,
the blind man sat there, silently peeling the orange, already peeled After ordering a small plate, he looked up from time to time to glance at Xie Yuan, who was standing next to the prince;
A Ming sat there drinking wine, ordering twelve different wines in one breath, and tasting them slowly .
Xue San is on the eaves of the flower viewing building;
Under this building, there are also worshipers of the Xie family.
The reason why the Regent of Dayan dared to have the confidence to sneak into Jinghai City first was because he was well prepared.
This guard force configuration...
Unless the Qianguo Silver Armor Guards gather quickly, there is really nothing to fear.
Even if there is an assassination or an ambush, it is enough to rush out.
Unless... Ganren mobilizes troops and horses.
But then again,
Whose troops are lurking outside Jinghai City at this moment?
Of course,
Zheng Fan did not sneak in simply to appreciate this ""Fenghuaxueyue", but he had to come.
Oh,
There are three young boys in the house, Zheng Lin is one of them.
He took the initiative A pot of tea was brought over.
Xie Yuan reached out to take it. Over the past few days, he had become accustomed to being served by the young people around Zheng Fan. This method that he had cultivated around him since he was a child was not suitable for aristocratic children. The words are not unfamiliar, because people trained in this way are more loyal and reliable.
Zheng Fan also reached out to take a glass,
His son did a good job,
He has a bad temper, only towards his own father, but he has done a good job of hiding it all the way. Xie Yuan, who often hangs out in the commander's tent, and the sword-maker who often hangs around, don't notice anything strange about him;
To a certain extent, my son, who was educated by the devil godfathers, can be said to be extremely good at least in terms of professional skills.
Six Niang took the tea cup,
Take a sip,
slightly frown,
said:
"This tea has been brewed for a long time. "
......
In the private room next door,
Xie Zhuyang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had just finished speaking to Jinghai City Commander Liu Hui.< /p>
The Regent of Dayan had lost his temper with the Secret Intelligence Department of Dayan more than once, saying that they were useless. The only thing that worked was probably that he was recruited by the Secret Intelligence Department when he joined the army, but that He was just the local Wubao master, and he had climbed up the ranks by being his son-in-law. On the other hand, Ganren could directly instigate the Nanwang City commander ten years ago.
Earlier, it was possible to add sand to the Secret Intelligence Department, and Du Juan was one of them.
The Emperor of Dayan was also very dissatisfied with the Secret Intelligence Department, compared with the Great Yan Iron Cavalry on the frontal battlefield. He is invincible in all battles, but he is really inferior on the battlefield of secret spies;
However, there are historical reasons for this.
At that time, there were many powerful people in the Yan Kingdom, and the Secret Spy Department was the most powerful. The main action was actually internal, and in that situation, the power of the Secret Service, like the imperial power, was also compressed;
It could not be used domestically, let alone infiltrate abroad. .
What this secret espionage system needs most is time;
It takes several generations to build Ganren’s Silver Armored Guards and Chu State’s Fengchao Internal Guards. It takes time to cultivate and develop to achieve such results. It is too difficult for Yan State to reach the sky in one step.
Although the situation has been greatly improved at this time, with the continuous rise of Great Yan, the world has become more and more prosperous. Return to Yan is no longer an inspiring slogan. Under the general trend, there are more and more people on both sides of the world;
There will naturally be no shortage of loyal and good generals, but trying to stand on both sides There will only be more people in the same boat.
Under this general trend, it will easily become a reality that no one in the world can understand Yan.
In fact, there is no difference between Qian and Chu. In this case, everyone cultivates and develops each other's power. Sometimes, it is not used as a secret.It is used as a pile, but in a way of "making friends";
It is not useful at critical moments, but when needed, you can see your superiors and talk to them;
Some The "family relationship" can even be traced back to the grandparents of both parties.
For example, Liu Hui in front of him, his grandmother is actually the daughter of the Xie family in the collateral line.
After climbing up, he and Xie Zhuyang are still peers. Although they don’t know how far they have left the fifth server, they are... relatives when needed!
It is almost an instinct for the aristocratic families, including the rising scholar-bureaucrat class in the Qian Kingdom, to maintain the stability of their own power strata, so as to carry out marriages and alliances.
Even, it will not be limited to the country, but also abroad. Everyone understands the principle of three cunning rabbits.
Over the past hundreds of years, there have been many examples of the fall of one side and the rise of another.
For example, didn’t the Min family marry their daughter all the way to the Fan family in Chu State?
"Mr. Xie, you are making it difficult for me."
Liu Hui closed his eyes and sighed.
Xie Zhuyang smiled slightly and said:
"Master Liu, I am giving you a chance."
Liu Hui shook his head and said: "Liu has been reading books about sages since he was a child, but he really can't do this kind of thing."
Xie Zhuyang stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the armrest of the wheelchair.
Liu Hui said again:
"I am deeply honored that Mr. Xie can come to see me. You and I are relatives. If you come, I will entertain you."
"But there is an army of 200,000 hidden outside Jinghai City. Master Liu, can you stop it?"
"After the Battle of Yanchu, could the Chu State have Nian Yao leading the army?" Qian, because at that time, the Chu State was a hundred-footed insect that was dead but not stiff.
But now,
Liu knew how tragic the battle in Shanggu County was.
Can Da Chu still collect 200,000 elites now?
Even if it does,
will it still dare to go to the border of our country? ?
It’s Mr. Xie. In the battle of Guyue City, Mr. Xie’s Xie Army suffered heavy casualties. Of course Liu knew that the Xie family had a great cause, but this elite Xie family was not that leek... No, even if it was Leeks, once cut, have to be given time to grow a new one, right?
If the Xie family wants to support, Liu can be as accommodating as possible, like a caravan, etc. You can also turn a blind eye."
This is smuggling;
"If it doesn't work, Liu can also help write a letter to the court. After all, the truth is that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. "I understand."
"Do you obey the new official of Pangzong?" Xie Zhuyang asked.
"Whether you accept it or not, he is an official." Liu Hui said.
"Haha."
Xie Zhuyang waved his hand indifferently.
Liu Hui stood up and said: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, please forgive me for not staying for a long time. In this city, Silver ArmorThere are quite a few guards. ”
“Master Liu, please stay.” ”
“Oh? What else does Mr. Xie have to do? ”
Liu Hui went to the appointment alone, bringing only a few followers, but he really wasn’t worried about what Xie Zhuyang would do to him, because Xie Zhuyang had no reason to do this.
p>“Xie wants to introduce someone to Mr. Liu. "
"But Young Master Xie is here too? Liu has been famous for a long time. "
Xie Zhuyang laughed dryly "Haha" twice,
and said:
"I dare not have such a blessing. ”
“Oh? Who is that? "
"You will know it when you see it, and come with me. ”
Xie Zhuyang was pushed out of the private room by the shadow, and Liu Hui followed.
Then,
The door of the private room next door was opened, and Xie Zhuyang was pushed in;
Liu Hui also walked in.
There were many people inside, and they looked very mixed.
Liu Hui's. His eyes first fell on the sword maker. To be precise, the sword maker placed the emblem of the Dugu family on the sword box beside him, the sword box...
At this time,
p>A handsome young man saluted Liu Hui:
“My nephew Yu’an has met Liu Shishu. ”
Liu Huigang was about to say with a smile, you said he was not your son, who is your son?
After all, Xie Yuan, the Xie family’s Qianliju, has an official position in Chu State. , but he was taller than his father, and Liu Hui would not really treat him as an ordinary nephew;
However, just when Liu Hui was about to return the gift,
he was suddenly stunned, < /p>
Because he found that there was something wrong with the position where Xie Yuan was standing.
A middle-aged man was leaning on the railing of the private room, watching the song and dance performance below. There is a beautiful woman.
And where Xie Yuan is standing... is clearly the position of escort.
We are nobles, and etiquette is the most important;
Hanging out in the officialdom is also the most taboo.
So,
Who can make the Xie family Qianliju act like a little bastard?
At this time,
Zheng Fan, who was holding a teacup in his hand, turned around and
leaned on the railing.
With a somewhat lazy and leisurely attitude,
looked at Liu Hui;
said:
"Liu Hui? ”
Liu Hui’s mouth began to feel dry instantly. He tried hard to find saliva, but found that he couldn’t find it.
He didn’t know the identity of the man in front of him, and he didn’t even guess. Guess it;
But the problem is,
The Xie family and his son are paving the way;
The most important thing is,
This The temperament exuding from the man gave the commander of Jinghai City an urge to weaken his knees. If he hadn't been hanging on the tip of his tongue,If you hold on hard, you may actually kneel down.
People,
have aura;
The aura of those who are truly in high positions is completely different.
In the early years, when Zheng Fan was chatting with the demon kings, he liked to joke about this "powerful spirit";
I always felt that once the powerful spirit shook, whoever was in front of him would be affected. Everyone accepted and worshiped, it was ridiculous;
Then,
Zheng Fan met Tian Wujing, Li Liangting, and Emperor Yan...
Zheng Fan finally realized that he was the one who was talking nonsense.
When you are making fun of this "bastard spirit", it can only mean one thing, that is, you have shallow eye sockets, you have little experience, and you are too poor to come into contact with such people. .
Time flies by;
Unknowingly,
the then-Business School Captain,
has now become The kind of people who make fun of themselves when they don't care.
He has commanded the fighting battles of millions of armies;
He has sat on this dragon chair;
With one thought, all things come to life, and with one thought, millions die. When it comes to the Regent of Dayan, these words are really not an exaggerated rhetorical technique, but...facts.
After experiencing so many things, it does not mean that I have seen it... but that I have stirred up so many storms with my own hands.
This man,
is really different.
"You...are you?"
"Zheng Fan."
Zheng Fan?
Who is Zheng Fan?
Who is Zheng Fan?
Sound familiar?
Where have you heard it before?
Liu Hui began to think.
He thought for a long time.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, because he seemed to know that he should know this person, no. , I definitely know, but I just can’t get the number right.
But the more this happened, the more nervous he became, and the more he forced himself to continue thinking and remembering.
In the private room,
many people’s eyes fell on Liu Hui.
Liu Hui clenched his hands tightly, then loosened them, clenched them again, and loosened them again. His eyes were wide open. Who is it? Who is it? ! !
He didn’t expect it, he really didn’t expect it.
However, he soon changed his method, and he began to trick...
Because in the entire Zhuxia, even if the Chu State was defeated, the Chu State was still there, and the Xie family was still It's Chu Nan's Big Mac, and there are really not many people in the world who can make the young master of the Xie family a servant...
After changing this method,
In an instant,
Liu Hui was stunned, he had been trapped!
Zheng Fan... Regent of Dayan!
"Plop!"
Liu Hui knelt down and his body began to tremble.
He passed the imperial examination, he read the books of sages, he responded to the call of the late emperor and transferred from civil service to military service. He wrote many times to state the situation in the north.The corrupt situation has even been criticized countless times by the Marquis of Pingxi, King Pingxi and the Regent of Dayan in memorials;
But all of this does not hinder the development of the country.
After seeing the regent in person, he simply knelt down.
Xie Zhuyang is here, Xie Yuan is here, that... I'm afraid he really is the sword maker of Dachu, so the person in front of me...
In fact, there is no need to deduce it at all He calculated and analyzed it,
When the person in front of him directly called out his name,
Liu Hui was almost convinced,
This is true!
Besides, Zheng Lin, who was still holding a teapot, blinked when he saw this scene.
Xie Zhuyang, who was in the wheelchair next to him, sighed helplessly. Yes, the people who were most afraid of Yan people were not Chu people, but Gan people.
What Qie Gan people are most afraid of is not the legendary Marquis of Zhenbei who led his army southward, nor the King of Jingnan who led his army southward;
but this He led his army to fight again and again, and even defeated the contemporary military god of Dayan who came to the capital in one fell swoop!
"Liu Hui..."
Hearing the call to himself, Liu Hui trembled and subconsciously said:
"I... am here."
p>
"I am outside the city. There are 200,000 Dayan cavalry waiting for me. Go and help me and open the city gate."
"Chen...chen...chen... "
"If you open the city gate, you will not massacre the city;
You Liu Hui, your Liu family, I will protect the wealth and glory of your lineage."
< p>The prince took a sip of water and said:"Okay?"
"I... I obey your order."
"Good boy, go ahead."
Liu Hui stood up staggeringly, Xie Zhuyang winked, and the shadow helped Liu Hui out.
Zheng Fan handed the tea cup to his son;
turned around and said:
"Come, let's continue to enjoy Singing and dancing.”
……
The Flower Viewing Tower becomes more lively at night.
Zheng Fan also waited for the oiran to perform in person, and the song was actually "People have joys and sorrows...".
"Zheng Lang Ci".
Six Niang smiled brightly and joked: "My lord, that courtesan sister has a little baby fat on her body."
The aesthetics of beautiful women in this era are not the same. Take the skinny route.
And Siniang knew exactly which style the Lord had always liked.
Then he stretched out his hand and gently touched the prince's beard,
Blowed and said:
"My lord, do you regret it? Regret was not born in Qian." country?
When the time comes,Every oiran from the south of the Yangtze River would be proud to recommend a pillow mat for you. "
At this time,
Xue San hung upside down to the window,
reported:
" Sir, sentry. The arrow rose. "
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand,
clasped Siniang's hand,
said:
"My son is here, you What nonsense. "
Zheng Fan's words "son" made Xie Zhuyang, Xie Yu'an and the sword-maker in the elegant room freeze for an instant.
Your Majesty,
here you are?
Now,
since we have successfully made a start, we are not afraid that the Chu people will rebel again, so , there is no need to worry about Chu people knowing that the prince of the palace is actually with the prince.
Zheng Fan reached out and put his arms around his son's shoulders;
The son instinctively wanted to resist, but his mother's eyes narrowed slightly;
The son gave up resistance and was enveloped in his father’s love.
“Smoke. ”
Zheng Lin took out the large iron box passed down to him by Brother Tiantian from his sleeve and opened it.
At the same moment,
opened together, there were Thousands of cavalry were filing in at the gate of Jinghai City!
Zheng Lin took out a cigarette and brought it to Zheng Fan's mouth.
Zheng Lin bit it. Taking out the torch,
At the east city gate, the knights of the Yan army who entered the city lit up torches and began to kill the Gan soldiers who dared to stop them when they knew something was wrong.
Shouting killing sounds. < /p>
But he saw his own father reaching out to take off the cigarette and holding it in his hand;
With his other hand, the prince gently patted his son's shoulder. ,
Asked:
"Son, do you know what kind of fire is best for lighting a cigarette? ”
At this time,
the vanguard knights led by Tiantian have already rushed here first. They will rush to the prince’s location as soon as possible after entering the city, and first protect their prince. Get up.
The entire Flower Viewing Tower was in complete panic.
The lights were turned upside down, and flames were everywhere.
The prince smiled,
reached out his hand,
pulled out a lantern hanging under the railing in front of him,
used the candle burning inside, He lit a cigarette;
then threw down the lantern casually,
and said:
"The city is in flames. ”
