Fu Song

Chapter 78 The first image is very good

Xiao Ding didn't expect that in White Horse, he would meet a big man again.

The last time he stayed in Baima, he accidentally met Cui Ang and Cui Huaiyuan, the newly appointed appeasement envoy of Hebei Road. The conversation between the two sides was not speculative.

And this time, he and Xiao Cheng were just halfway through their tour of the Yellow River to pay tribute to the ancients, and He Zheng hurriedly chased after him and told him that His Royal Highness King Jing had returned to Beijing and was preparing to stay at Baimayi today.

Different from the last time, Xiao Ding heard that he had met King Jing by chance, but he was busy rushing back excitedly. Xiao Cheng was also very curious about what kind of character this King Jing was.Although he has never left Bianliang since he was a child, he has never seen the second king who is now famous all over the world.

In the history of the Song Dynasty, apart from the founding Taizu and later Taizong, there has never been an official family proficient in military affairs!His Royal Highness King Jing is quite accomplished in military affairs. Is this an atavism phenomenon?

The two of them flew back to the inn, but the surrounding area of ​​the inn was already heavily guarded, but the guards of King Jing recognized Xiao Ding. .

Xiao Ding didn't dismount, and said to them very familiarly: "This is Xiao's second brother, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Chongwen."

"The Erlang of the Xiao family is really handsome!" On the way, hearing so many compliments, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but wonder if these words came out of these people's mouths, did they mean something else?
I always thought they laughed weirdly.

However, he was still very surprised at the status of the elder brother in front of King Jing.

Go straight in, and bring an outsider to them.

Or, this is trust.

In the huge yard of the White Horse Inn, a large group of people were busy, unloading things from several carts, from bedding to pots and pans.In the whole yard, in addition to the guards, there are all kinds of servants.

Xiao Cheng already knew when He Zheng went to notify that those people in his family were originally going to be kicked out because King Jing wanted to live in, but they were blocked by King Jing, but now, everyone is staying in one place. Inside the small cross courtyard, you cannot enter or leave at will.

This is what it should be.

Earlier, an appeasement envoy was able to expel all the other residents in the inn. King Jing's status is even higher, so he naturally wants to live alone, that is, Xiao Ding is his confidant, and that's why he has this treatment.

But this place is really big!Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but stunned inwardly. It seemed that even if King Jing lived in Baimayi, he was just borrowing their house. As soon as he used the equipment, he basically brought it all by himself.I am afraid that even the food will not be provided by the inn.

King Jing Zhao Zhe, dressed in a purple robe and with a neat little beard, was standing in the yard, smiling at Xiao Ding and Xiao Cheng who entered the door.

"Meet the pacifier!"

"Meet Your Highness!"

The two folded their fists and bowed.

"Forget it!" Zhao Zhe laughed and stretched out his hand to help Xiao Ding: "Changqing, I originally said that when I returned to Bianliang, I would invite you to drink, but I didn't want you to turn around in a hurry."

"Today, I will accompany the appeasement envoy for a drink." Xiao Ding nodded again and again: "The last general never thought that things would be like this."

"To be honest, I heard that ten people challenged the four armies and one hundred people. Although I already know the result, it still makes me feel frightened. You are still too reckless, so remember not to be like this in the future." Zhao Zhe converged. He smiled and said sternly.

"As soon as a burst of blood rushed into my head, I couldn't care less. I said it, but I couldn't take it back. I had to bite the bullet!" Xiao Ding said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is no danger."

"By the way, although it's a bit reckless, the end result is good." Zhao Zhe laughed again: "We'll talk about these things later, this is your brother Xiao, who is called the seed of reading. Is it sincere Xiao Chongwen?"

"It's the subordinate officer!" Although Xiao Cheng did not hold a real post, he was also a yin officer. He received a salary from the eighth-rank undertaker, so in front of Zhao Zhe, he also called himself a subordinate officer, and heard Zhao Zhe say that he was The seeds of reading couldn't help but blush: "But what seeds are reading, some people misrepresented it, and the lower officials have no face and dare to bear it."

Xiao Ding said softly: "Your Highness, you have told me about the three-way attack on Liaoning before, but Chongwen told me about the strategy of training troops in round battles, and it is precisely because of this strategy that The latter matter. The entire memorial is also in charge of Chongwen."

Zhao Zhe's eyes couldn't help but light up. The so-called seeds of reading did not mean much to him. There were many people in the world who could read and write articles, but there were not many people who could have vision.

Immediately he stretched out his hand, grabbed Xiao Cheng's hands and shook it vigorously, saying, "I have read the copy of that memorial on the way back, every word is precious, I thought Chang Qing was invited. Xiao Jixiang caught the knife, but it was Chongwen, you are amazing, amazing."

"It's really shameful!" Xiao Cheng sighed: "Xiaguan did not expect the reaction of the Fourth Army to be so violent, nor did he expect that the eldest brother actually made a ten-to-one-hundred match. At home, he was almost scolded by his father and mother to death."

Zhao Zhe sighed: "How can they not react violently? That's all for Zhang Chao. He is in position, and he must cleanse himself, and how can the soldiers of the Fourth Army leave the prosperous Bianliang to drink and eat. What about the hardships on the frontier of the sand? Naturally, I would like to swallow Changqing to prove that they are brave and good at fighting."

"His Royal Highness, the house is generally arranged." A long attendant came over and said back with hands.

Zhao Zhe nodded: "Changqing, Chongwen, let's sit and talk in the room, don't stand here."

Following Zhao Zhe into a small room that was used as a reception room, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded again.

The furnishings in the inn are basically the same, and they are mainly simple, sturdy and practical, but at the moment, the original furniture does not know where it is, and all the replaced ones are all good at first glance. The object, there is a faint fragrance in the room, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. When I look closely, it is an incense burner in the shape of a delicately carved rockery on the table. At this moment, there is a small groove on the top of the mountain. There is a piece of incense embedded in it that is emitting wisps of smoke. The magic is that the aroma does not drift upwards, but hovers down along the rockery, making the entire rockery incense burner seem to be caught in the clouds. It is really a rare idea. thing.

In the room, there was also a beauty in a palace dress, who was skillfully cooking tea. When she saw the three people coming in, she just bowed slightly.

This woman should be a maid next to His Royal Highness King Jing, because His Royal Highness King Jing's concubines are all staying in Bianliang!
But even if she is a maid, her temperament is too tight!
Xiao Cheng couldn't help sighing that the royal style was really not what most people could imagine.

The eldest brother also said that His Royal Highness King Jing was very simple and unusual when he was in the Daming Mansion, and he never extravagantly wasted!Just from what I saw today, it's already amazing.

But perhaps in the eyes of the royal family, such a day has indeed passed a lot, right?

His Royal Highness King Jing is also someone who can really do things.When he grabbed Xiao Cheng earlier, Xiao Cheng could feel the calluses on his hands, and he could also see the frost on his face. Compared with the Chu King Zhao Jing in Bianliang, he was indeed much older.

Although it was the first time they met, Xiao Cheng's image of King Jing Zhao Zhe was still very good.Especially his laughter is very contagious.

Of course you can pretend to laugh.

But the skin can hold it, but the eyes cannot.

When King Jing laughed, Xiao Cheng observed it carefully. He was really laughing, laughing from the bottom of his heart, because his eyes were all laughing.

He was really happy because he met Xiao Ding and his party here.

"Your transfer to Dingbian City, Shaanxi Road this time is the result of the combined efforts of many forces. I already know the general situation." After entering the room, Zhao Zhe said, without much scruples, and said directly: "But This may also be a good thing. Cui Ang, this person, may have bad things on Hebei Road. If you are still there, you will bear the brunt. Going to Shaanxi Road, Ma Xing has always been disliked by Li Xu, and he has always wanted to clean up. He, so he will let you do it instead."

"His Royal Highness, since you also noticed the inappropriateness of Cui Shumi, didn't you tell him?" Xiao Ding asked.

Zhao Zhe smiled selflessly: "Who is Cui Ang? He was a member of the Privy Council who signed the same contract, and he was the new appeasement envoy of Hebei Road. How much influence do you think I can have over him?"

"His Royal Highness, he may ruin your years of hard work." Xiao Ding said disappointedly.

"Not at all!" Zhao Zhe shook his head: "He will definitely go ahead, but in the early stage, it will only be limited to testing. If there is not enough confidence, he will not risk his life. After being the husband for so many years, the city government still has some calculations. . Once his aggressive temptation encounters a fiasco, he will definitely rein in it. With the defense system we have operated in Hebei over the years, it should be safe."

Xiao Cheng's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Your Highness, what if there is a powerful figure in the Liao Kingdom who has broken through Cui Shumi's mind and kept him tasting the sweetness in the early stage, and induced Cui Shumi to fall into the trap step by step? "

Zhao Zhe frowned slightly: "With Cui Ang's level, of course, I don't mean his level of leading the army and fighting, but his level of fighting for officials and politics. You shouldn't be able to see through this strategy to lure the enemy, right?"

"I hope so!" Xiao Cheng could only say.

"Yeluzhen, I have only heard that he was brave and unparalleled in suppressing the Jurchen tribe, but I have never heard that he is good at tactics. When he can't set up such a tight match, he can't make any mistakes." Xiao Ding also said. .

"Let's not talk about Hebei, both you and I have already left. If something goes wrong, he, Cui Ang, is responsible for that!" Zhao Zhe smiled and waved his hand: "Changqing, how long do you think it will take you to go to Dingbiancheng? In time, can you stand on your heels?"

"One to two years." Xiao Ding said: "The first year is mainly to stabilize the military's heart, arrange for family members, wait for the opportunity to attack Hengshan, knock the mountain and shake the tiger. In the second year, I will build a city at various points in Hengshan. When the city is completed, I will also It's time for the entire Shaanxi Road to attack the Difficult Army in a big way."
