Two days later, in the court, Emperor Wen decided to inspect Shuzhong. The reason was that Ling Buyi investigated that the ordnance that had been resold before had flowed into Shuzhong. Emperor Wen was worried that something would happen in Shuzhong, so he entered Shu in advance to scare the vassal king of Shuzhong.
The guard work along the way was handed over to Ling Buyi. I wonder if it was because of the last Longxi rebellion. Emperor Wen saw that Qin Hao and Ling Buyi cooperated better, so this time he still asked Qin Hao to be guarded by Ling Buyi. Don't hesitate to start.
"Zihan, I heard that you are getting married." Before leaving, Emperor Wen summoned Qin Hao, with a serious and thoughtful tone.
Qin Hao said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is the fourth wife of General Cheng's family, Cheng Shaoshang."
Emperor Wen smiled and pressed his hand, motioning Qin Hao to sit down. With an amiable look, "You and Zicheng are both classmates and colleagues. Together we put down the Longxi rebellion. Now you are about to get married, but Zicheng is still alone. You should help him more."
Qin Hao looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, Zicheng has always been a solitary man, not close to women, and the ministers who want to help him are powerless."
"You and Zicheng are the best. "It's good, do you know what kind of little girl Zicheng likes?" Emperor Wen asked in a low voice.
Qin Hao couldn't help but secretly lament that the dignified leader of the ZTE generation was like a talkative woman prying into other people's privacy. This shows that his favor towards Ling Buyi was not treated like this even for his own son.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that Zicheng has grown up in the capital and has seen many famous ladies. He has not taken a fancy to any of them. He must not like this kind of people. If he wants to find Zicheng, To find the girl you like, you have to look outside the capital," Qin Hao analyzed casually.
Emperor Wen's eyes lit up: "You are right. These noble ladies are too delicate. Zicheng has been in the army all year round. Maybe he can find a little girl for him among the generals."
"Your Majesty is wise." Qin Hao thought to himself that he had already grabbed Cheng Shaoshang first, and for the rest, Ling Busuo would harm whomever he liked, and it had nothing to do with him.
After chatting, Emperor Wen said to Qin Hao, "Zihan, now your father is serving as a minister in the court. In the future, do you plan to join the army like Zicheng, or go to work in a local area?"
Qin Hao's heart moved. Emperor Wen was busy with affairs. He must not have been bored to gossip with him. He also thought of Emperor Wen's recent inspection of Shu.
Qin Hao stood up, raised his hands and said loudly, "I am willing to be a small official, and shepherd the people on behalf of the emperor."
After hearing this, Emperor Wen laughed loudly and lifted Qin Hao up. "Okay, okay. When you mount your horse, you can kill generals and capture flags. When you dismount, you can herd horses and bring peace to the people. You are truly the pillar of the country. I am not wrong about you. In this way, after this inspection in Shu, Zihan will stay in Shu and do whatever he wants." In the Han Dynasty, large counties with more than 10,000 households were generally called county magistrates, and small counties with less than 10,000 households were called county magistrates. This Rong County is obviously a small county.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wen patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and sighed, "I have wronged Zihan. I will practice outside for a while. I will have more important tasks in the future." Task handoverfor you. ”
Qin Hao shook his head gently, “If you can protect your land, benefit the people, and live up to what you have learned in your heart, there is no need to talk about grievances.” "
"Okay, I really did not misjudge you. " Emperor Wen looked at the high-spirited Qin Hao, as if he had seen his own appearance as a boy. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
After returning from the palace, Qin Fang called Qin Hao to the study and learned that Qin Hao was going out. In Fangrong County, Qin Fang didn't show any surprise on his face. Apparently Emperor Wen had asked for his opinion beforehand.
"The situation in Shu is complicated. You have to be more careful. I followed you to the war last time. Take them all with you. ”
Qin Hao nodded. Although Emperor Wen’s inspection of Shu could frighten those vassal kings who were ready to move, it could not completely eliminate their dissatisfaction. Qin Hao was one of Emperor Wen’s thorns in Shu. Nails will definitely be jealous of the Shu vassal king, which is not a good thing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yuan rushed in, crying with tears in his eyes, "Even if it is to be released." , You shouldn’t go to such dangerous places. Master, aren’t you watching Hao’er jump into the fire pit?
Qin Fang reluctantly persuaded, "Your Majesty's inspection of Shu is just a pretext. The real purpose is to replace those garrison troops who are too deeply involved with the vassal kings of Shu. Without the army, those vassal kings can only With the few guards from the palace, Haoer will not be in danger during this trip.
Qin Hao also comforted him and said, "Mom, please be at ease. Children have experienced the Longxi battlefield. How can they not withstand this storm? Besides, Sichuan is a land of abundance. There is nothing more suitable than this." Place?"
The territory of the Han Dynasty was actually not large, and many places were not developed. For example, the Jiangnan Water Town in later generations was still a barren land at this time, and Shuzhong was the place where Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, made his fortune. The land has always been highly valued, and coupled with its unique geographical location, it was considered a very prosperous area in the era of small-scale peasant economy.
The Qin Yuan family was finally persuaded. After all, the emperor's order could not be violated. , I can only prepare things for Qin Hao in advance.
The other day, Ling Buyi also came to Qin's house. He probably learned that Qin Hao was going to be his deputy, and asked Qin Hao specifically. Let’s discuss countermeasures.
“The most important thing now is to get the map of Shu. When General Wan led his army to regain Shu, this map must be in his hands. "Ling Buyu still had a cold expression.
Qin Hao asked calmly, "So?"
Ling Buyu said in a deep voice, "But General Wan never admits it. He has the Map of the Land of Shu in his hand. I heard that Zihan’s new wife is familiar with Wan’s wife."
Qin Hao raised his hand to interrupt and said coldly, "We can find another way to get the Map of Shu. I I won’t force Niao Niao to do something that betrays a friend. "
"Your Majesty's inspection of Shu must be foolproof this time. If there is no map of Shu, how can we arrange the defense of the husband and wife along the way? She will marry you, and your business is her business. "Ling Buyu retorted.
Qin Hao suddenly laughed and asked, "Has Zicheng really liked a girl?"
Ling Buyi frowned and slowly shook his head.
Qin Haodan smiled, "If Zicheng finds someone she likes one day, he will definitely not force her to do something she doesn't like, and I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice."
Ling Buyi was silent for a long time, staring at Qin Hao for a while, and then sighed, "That map is worth it."
"I will come and ask for it."
"Then I will wait quietly. Good news from Zihan."
That afternoon, Qin Hao went to Wan Mansion with gifts. Wan Songbai and Cheng Shi were close friends, so naturally he was very enthusiastic about Qin Hao.
However, when Qin Hao mentioned the map of Shu, Wan Songbai still looked at him.
Qin Hao whispered, "After Your Majesty inspects Shuzhong, my nephew will go to Rong County to take office. At that time, some of the Qin family's properties will also be transferred there. I wonder if Uncle Wan is interested."
Qin Hao did not use Emperor Wen to pressure him. The reason why Wan Zhenqiu likes gorgeous clothes and jewelry so much is purely genetic. Wan Songbai is a typical nouveau riche. He has been working on the map of Shu. What kind of treasure map, so I have been reluctant to give it to Ling Buyi.
Wan Songbai's eyes lit up when he heard that the map of Shu had been in his hands for many years, but he had never been able to decipher the mystery in it. Even if there was a treasure that he couldn't get, he could only do it. Stare.
The Qin family's business has been booming in recent years. Vinegar, soy sauce, etc. are all making money every day. This is the gold mountain that is tangible.
"Zihan means that I, Wanjia, can participate in one share." Wan Songbai looked at Qin Hao eagerly.
Qin Hao smiled and nodded slightly, "The Qin family has no foundation in Shu, and there are many vassal kings who are restricting them. When Uncle Wan regained Shu, many of his old tribes must still be there, and the Qin family's business is still there. We need Uncle Wan to take more care of us."
In a small-scale peasant economy, the best way to achieve success in a short period of time is to develop industry and commerce. Wan Songbai is a military commander trusted by Emperor Wen. This time he will be replaced. The generals under him in the Shuzhong garrison will inevitably be promoted and reused. Giving him some shares can not only gain a layer of protection, but also tie the interests of the two families together. For the Wan family, not only will they gain profits , and can also gain the friendship of the Qin family, this deal is definitely a win-win situation.
Wan Songbai suddenly said a little depressed, "What kind of luck is it for the Cheng family to find a husband like you? Just wait."
After finishing speaking, Wan Songbai He went to Mrs. Wan Lao's room and told her the situation.
Mrs. Wan could not help but sigh, "I have long heard that the Qin family has a Qilin son. Now that I have seen it, it turns out that he is a worthy man despite his great reputation. It is a pity that our Wan family does not have such a good man."
Wan Songbai's tone was also full of envy: "I don't know if the Cheng family is smoking from the ancestral graves. Not to mention the many children, even the daughter is married so well. If our wife is I can find such a good husband."
"Okay, our family is just a wife, and we will definitely have a son-in-law in the future, so don't be infatuated.You are delusional. Go and show the map of Shu to Young Master Qin, so as not to keep people waiting. "
"Wei. ”
After getting the map of Shu, Qin Hao unfolded it and found that the map was more detailed than he thought. In fact, road-marking vehicles had already appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.
Xijing Miscellaneous Notes record that the Han Dynasty's Yujia Temple was equipped with thousands of horses, and the generals were accompanying them. Fourth, the Middle Way.
Of course, this map of Shu is still far from the maps of later generations. It only marks some county offices and surrounding mountains and rivers, without more detailed information. Marked.
Qin Hao closed the map of Shu and said to Wan Songbai, "Thank you, Uncle Wan. "
"Easy to say. "Wan Songbai smiled and sent Qin Hao to the door.
This scene was seen by Ling Buyi, who was watching in Wanfu, and his eyes widened. Even the Liang brothers who had been following him were dumbfounded.
"How did Young Master Qin do this?"
"Yes, maybe this old fox Wan Songbai looks down on our general, why did he give the map to him instead of to us? General"
Ling Buyi glared at the two of them coldly, "Go to the Qin Mansion. ”
The Liang brothers shrank their necks and followed obediently.
Qin Hao had just returned home and had not yet settled down, but Ling Buyi came, and Qin Hao didn’t either. Concealed, he told the story of how to get Kanyu Map from Wan Songbai.
"It's that simple." Ling Buyi was a little skeptical.
Qin Haodan smiled. "
Ling Buyi said nothing more, unfolded the map, and began to study the route of Emperor Wen's inspection of Shuzhong.
"Qing County and Hua County are the only routes for the inspection. Roads, complicated terrain, and rolling mountains nearby make it easy to hide troops, so we need to pay special attention to prevention. "
For a long time, Ling Buyi said in a deep voice.
Qin Hao frowned slightly, "Zicheng means to send more guards here. If so, I'm afraid the other party will hide and not notice." , but more dangerous. ”
Ling Buyu looked at Qin Hao in surprise, “Zihan wants to lure the snake out of its hole.”
Qin Hao pointed to the map of Kanyu, “After Qing County and Hua County, your Majesty inspected two places in Sichuan.” There is a way to go, so we must divide our troops. The terrain in Shu is complicated, and there are always places that cannot be taken care of. It is better to pretend to be unprepared, lure out these rebellious officials and traitors, and annihilate them one by one. ”
In the end, Emperor Wen agreed to Qin Hao’s plan and transferred the garrison near Qing County and Hua County in the name of protecting the Holy Emperor to facilitate the rebels.
Qin Hao and Ling Buyi secretly led a group of black armored guards to the center of Shu. Once there was a change in Qing County and Hua County, they could immediately put down the rebellion and intimidate the king of Shu.
Since the matter was confidential, Qin Hao did not have time to say goodbye to Cheng Shaoshang. It was not until Cheng Shaoshang had an quarrel with Xiao Yuanyi that he followed his third uncle Cheng Zhi to Hua County to take up his post. Only then did he realize that Qin Hao had left the capital..
Cheng Shaoshang didn’t know that Qin Hao had also gone to Shuzhong, and he was still a little depressed along the way. Sang Shunhua couldn’t help teasing her, “It’s just that I missed him so much after not seeing each other for a few days.”
Cheng Shaoshang was not shy at all, but said confidently, "Yes, one day is like three autumns after not seeing each other. After all, Ahao and I have not seen each other for many years. Shouldn't we miss you?"
Sang Shunhua was amused by her, smiled and pinched her cheek, "You, it's not easy to say this outside, you are shameless."
Cheng Shaoshang stuck out his tongue , leaning on Sang Shunhua, "I'm not that stupid anymore, I just told my third aunt."
After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the border of Qing County, but Cheng Zhi noticed something was wrong.
"The Magistrate of Qing County and I are old friends and close friends. We agreed to meet here again half a month ago. Even if he himself has something to do and cannot come, he should send a servant to say so. And look at that. The toilet doors in Qing County were closed in broad daylight, so something big must have happened."
Cheng Zhi asked Cheng Shaoshang and Sang Shunhua to get in the car quickly and continue to Hua County, while he. He took two followers to Qing County to investigate the situation.
On the carriage, Cheng Shaoshang saw Sang Shunhua's worried face, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Since the third aunt thought this trip was dangerous, why didn't she stop the third uncle?"
Sang Shunhua Hua shook his head gently, "A real man does something and doesn't do anything. If I stop him, if that friend has a problem in the future, he will definitely regret it."
Cheng Shaoshang murmured, "Third Aunt's It means that if you love someone, you have to fulfill him, even if you are worried about it, you can only endure it."
"It's like this, husband and wife are one, if they can't empathize with each other, wouldn't they be in the same bed with different dreams?" Sang Shunhua's eyes were filled with confusion. Consciously drifting in the direction of Qing County.
Cheng Shaoshang shook his head and said firmly, "If it were me, I would go with him, even if we die, we will die together."
Sang Shunhua gently caressed him Caressing Cheng Shaoshang's cheek, he said softly, "But if I go with him, he will be worried and have trouble walking. If there is an accident, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?"
Cheng Shaoshang suddenly opened the car curtain and pointed to the accompanying female guards, "It would be great if I could be like them, so I wouldn't be a burden."
Sang Shunhua laughed and scolded, "What a childish thing you said. "You are a little girl who is going to get married soon. Why should you learn martial arts?"
Cheng Shaoshang stubbornly said, "Ahao is very skilled in martial arts. When the time comes, I will let her teach me." "
As he was talking, suddenly, a shower of arrows shot from the woods, and the carriage was frightened and neighed.
"Enemy Attack"
The female guard sent by Xiao Yuanyi had followed her on the battlefield. She reacted quickly and found the enemy hidden in the woods in an instant.
More than twenty masked gangsters rushed over. However, they obviously underestimated the strength of these female guards. They suffered a big loss as soon as they fought, losing seven or eight people.
The remaining masked gangsters who "removed" wanted to escape, but theyThe female guards chased them on horseback and killed them one by one.
After experiencing the initial panic, Cheng Shaoshang gradually calmed down and analyzed Sang Shunhua, "I stayed at the border with my father for a period of time. Judging from the skills and actions of these gangsters, it is definitely not the case." Ordinary bandits, I'm afraid we have encountered rebels. These people are probably just early scouts. There may be large troops around, and our small manpower is simply not enough to resist."
Sang Shunhua just recovered. Come, there was a pain in my ankle. At this time, I could only hold back and ask, "Niao Niao, what to do now is up to you."
Cheng Shaoshang asked the guards for a map of the nearby area, "Niao Niao, what to do now is up to you." There is a forest farm, and there should be forest houses that can be used as support. It should be able to hold on for a while. We will send a few people to Qing County to ask for help, and the rest will go to the forest farm to wait for help."
"Everyone, please, if it's us. If you can be rescued, the Cheng family will definitely be grateful for your kindness in the future. If something unfortunate happens, the Cheng family will also take care of your family records and will not let your blood flow in vain." Cheng Shaoshang said to several servants.
Originally there were not many guards, so naturally we could not send them out any more, so we could only hope that these servants could bring the news out.
"Promise."
After the servant left, Cheng Shaoshang asked people to discard their belongings on the side of the road. On the one hand, if these masked bandits were bandits, they took the money. Naturally, they won't chase them. On the one hand, if these masked gangsters are really rebels, they can also arouse other people's ideas, and maybe they can get the news out.
At the same time, Hua County was surrounded by a group of rebels. As the leader of the rebels, Fan Chang forced County Magistrate Cheng to open the city gate at the cost of the lives of the people, and even went so far as to force Magistrate Cheng to open the city gate one by one in front of him. slaughter.
The old county magistrate Cheng knew that Fan Chang’s ultimate goal was to assassinate Emperor Wen, so he led the Cheng family and the city’s defenders to break out from all sides, causing chaos outside the city.
At this time, Qin Hao and Ling Buyi also received the report from the spies and quietly came to the vicinity of Hua County. Seeing the flames outside Hua County, Ling Buyi and Qin Hao knew that the rebels were taking action.
"The whole army attacks"
The land roared in pain amidst the sound of horse hooves and footsteps. Please remember to bookmark the website, the latest, fastest and free to read without anti-theft
