Fu Song

Chapter 79

"How can we not fight? We have to fight!" Zhao Zhe, who was half-drinking, leaned on the table with red eyes, looked at Xiao Cheng and said, "Chongwen, you are indeed the seed of reading, and you are quite familiar with the political disputes in the court. Profound, but you are on the outside, unable to understand the helplessness of the authorities!"

have to fight.

Xiao Cheng sighed.

This is Zhao Zhe's attitude.

At the first contact, Xiao Cheng admired the frankness of this King Jing. Compared with the coldness of the King of Chu he had seen, this second king who had been in the army for a long time was really more in line with his spleen and stomach.

Therefore, while drinking, he mentioned to Zhao Zhe that after he returned to the Kaifeng House of Bianliang this time, he should restrain his sharpness, not fight or rob, and the government affairs should only be within the scope of the official affairs of the Kaifeng House, and never interfere with the general government of the court. Unless the official consultation, you can talk about their own views.

More importantly, don't bother about military affairs.

But King Jing's statement disappointed Xiao Cheng.

Or this is the temperament of the person in front of him, who is willing to take what is straight and not what is good.

"Chongwen, do you know that at my level, apart from trying my best to move forward, there is actually no room to take a step back! Taking a step back is an abyss!" Patting Xiao Cheng's shoulder, Zhao Zhe said, "Although you don't Ming said, but I understand what you mean very well, isn't it that my father has already suspected me? So after you let me go back to Beijing, you will be a man with a tail, and try to disguise yourself as a sincere and filial person! You even have to learn My eldest brother is going to sing the wind and play with the moon, fiddling with the article, in order to win over and please such a clear-cut scholar?"

"Your Highness, this is not called disguise! This can be called packaging!" Xiao Cheng said.

"Packaging?" Zhao Zhe was a little confused.

"It literally means. It's like a bottle of perfume from Tianxiang Pavilion. It was originally worth the same price, but now they have made a wonderful bottle for this bottle of perfume, and wrapped it in a carved box of precious wood. Inlaid with some broken gems, the cost is not much, but it can be sold for a better price." Xiao Cheng explained. "His Royal Highness is proficient in military affairs and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Wouldn't it be better if the world could now know that His Highness is above the civil affairs and not under the people, both civil and military?"

Gently shaking Chen's wine glass, Zhao Zhe said with a smile, "My image has been fixed over the years. I am skilled in martial arts and good at managing politics, but I am not very talented, and I am a vulgar prince."

"It's just that some people who don't really understand His Highness slander His Highness." Xiao Ding said angrily.He has had a lot of contact with Zhao Zhe, and of course he knew that the Second Highness, who had received the orthodox education of the royal family since he was a child, could be so talented?Even if it is difficult to recite poems and compose poems, they are proficient in everything.

"There's nothing wrong with it!" Zhao Zhe said lightly: "To govern a country, it is enough to have one person who is good at managing government affairs, and if you are proficient in martial arts, it is already hard to come by. How could Taizu Taizong ever do such a thing back then? It was handed down from the world? It's a sentence beside the couch, how can I let others sleep soundly and wake up the world."

"His Royal Highness, it is time to take a step back in order to go further forward. Take a long detour, but as long as the goal remains the same, maybe it will reach the destination earlier than the thorns." Xiao Cheng still wanted to work hard persuade.

"No, the time is not for me!" Zhao Zhe shook his head flatly and said: "This time back to Beijing, since I already have the advantage, I naturally have no reason to let others. I must fight for something that should be fought. Chongwen, you don't understand. The father's temperament is easy to repeat when he encounters a setback. You don't think he seems to be in high spirits now, but he doesn't know when he will become decadent again. And the country's political affairs, how can it be so changeable and repeated repeatedly. Too many times , the officials will be slack, the sergeants will be slack, the people will be slack. The story of the wolf coming, everyone has heard a lot, and they will not take it seriously. At that time, even if you scream through their ears, I am afraid it will be impossible. ."

This is true, Xiao Cheng can't help but admit that the other party is right.

"So, I have to go to a higher position and hold a higher power, and can really have a decisive influence on the direction of the court's major policies, and this position is naturally the Prince of the East Palace." Zhao Zheyi raised his head and said The wine in the cup was drained: "So I will try my best to make my father and emperor have no choice but to put me on the throne. Liao and Song Dynasties are all big countries. If you want to expedition the Liao country in the north, you have to be single-minded, try your best, and can't tolerate retreating, Hesitation, slack."

"So Chongwen, you persuade me to disguise now, oh, pack yourself, it's better to pass the jinshi examination next year and come out to help me earlier." Zhao Zhe held Xiao Cheng's hand and said sincerely: "Changqing is right. Yes, you are indeed a great talent, when you become a jinshi, I will ask you to come to Kaifeng to help, and I will be even more powerful."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your attention!" Xiao Cheng cupped his hands in gratitude.

Both Zhao Zhe and Xiao Ding were very drunk.

Even Xiao Cheng felt that he had nothing to say about such a boss. It was no wonder that his eldest brother gave up on him, patted his chest and said that within a year, he would gain a firm foothold in Hengshan and build a city.In order to cooperate with King Jing and make a big splash for His Royal Highness King Jing.

Originally, Xiao Ding's plan was for two years, but now it's good, and after one drink, it becomes a year.

Carrying the eldest brother back to the small cross-court belonging to the Xiao family, handing it over to the eldest sister-in-law, and returning to the hut where he lives alone, Xiao Cheng has trouble falling asleep.

"Second brother!" There was another girl who was not sleeping, knocking on Xiao Cheng's window lattice outside. "Sister-in-law has boiled sober soup here, and I'll bring you a bowl too."

Open the door and let Xiao Yan in, knowing that this little girl must not have the intention to take care of people like this, it must be Gao Qi because it is inconvenient for her to come here, so she called Xiao Yan to deliver it.

"Why are you still not sleeping?"

"I can't sleep!" Xiao Yan said: "Today, the second brother saw the King Jing, who the elder brother had no words to praise, what happened? Didn't the second brother say that the fate of our family is almost tied to him? One is prosperous, one is lost and all is lost!"

Xiao Cheng smiled bitterly and drank two sips of sober soup. He knew that this girl's mind was very different from that of ordinary people, so he immediately told Xiao Yan the situation of today's meeting one by one.

"Third sister, what do you think?"

Xiao Yan frowned, her brows pressed together, "This will be troublesome. Such a master is betrayal, and he can't find a good reason! He knew there was going to be a problem, but he still followed him. One way goes dark, what should I do? Second brother, let me tell you, such people seem to be wise and decisive, but in fact they are self-willed. Once they make up their minds, it is difficult to be changed by external forces. The kind of person who doesn't look back when he hits the south wall and bleeds his head, and only wants to make a hole in the wall so that he can get out of the hole."

"Yeah, so, I can't do it anymore!" Xiao Cheng spread his hands, "I said everything that should be said and should not be said, but he answered very frankly and directly. The general meaning is that you are right. Makes sense, but I don't listen, I'm going with my established strategy."

Xiao Yan grinned: "Second brother, you really don't use dirty words when scolding people."

"I really didn't scold him." Xiao Cheng shook his head, a little helpless.

Speaking of the recent emperors of the Song Dynasty, they were really useless to the outside world.At present, there is such a heroic and courageous prince among the princes. If Xiao Cheng doesn't help him, who else can he help?

"Erlang-kun!" He Zheng's voice sounded outside.

Xiao Cheng walked over and opened the door strangely, "He, Captain, what's the matter?"

He Zhengdao: "Erlang-kun, the guard from King Jing's side just came and said that a person who claimed to be Luo Gang came from outside the inn and said he was looking for Erlang Erlang. This person also claimed to be the current Shenzhi. He is the son of Lord Luo Xianggong, so the guards did not dare to neglect him, so they came to inform me that I just went to the commander, and the lady said that the commander has fallen asleep, and asked me to come to you Erlang."

Xiao Cheng was taken aback, opened his mouth wide, and was speechless for a while, then turned around after a while, looking at Xiao Yan, who was also full of surprise after looking at the table. Yan suddenly blushed, slapped the table and stood up: "This person, what's the mess?"

Xiao Yan walked away angrily, but Xiao Cheng looked at her appearance, maybe he liked her more than he was annoyed.

As a young girl, seeing her suitor chasing him all the way, she is naturally happy.

"So, you escaped from the house privately?" Luo Gang and Luo Yuting, who was disheveled, covered with gray stains, embarrassed, tired but a little excited, took him to his room, Xiao Cheng asked, he couldn't help being scolded again. Shocked.

Do the juniors of the two families have the necessary skills to escape from home?

"I didn't come after the third sister." Luo Yuting looked righteous, "It's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand volumes of books. This is what you Xiao Chongwen said, I take it seriously, so I went to chase you all day and night. It's to put this word into practice."

"I didn't run away from the house privately!" Xiao Cheng snorted coldly: "I will hand you over to His Royal Highness King Jing and ask him to take you back to Duke Luo Xianggong when it is dawn."

Luo Gang screamed strangely: "Xiao Chongwen, if you dare to do this, don't blame me for being rude. When I return to Beijing, I will tell you about Jiang Yingxue's affairs."

Xiao Cheng was furious: "You two are not good people!"

"Two, who is the other?" Luo Gang wondered.

Xiao Cheng did not speak with a sullen face, and looked really angry.

"Chongwen, Chongwen, I'm joking. Let me go with you. Big brother moves the town. I can always help with all kinds of things, right? Even if it's errands and errands, it's okay. Anyway, I also have one. As the father of a political governor, you can always spare some face, right?" After Luo Gang threatened, he kept begging for mercy again and again.

Xiao Cheng sighed and shouted: "Li Xin, Li Xin, you haven't drawn water yet, didn't you see Luo Saburo going to take a bath?"
