Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 128 The Meeting of Peng Ze
Wang Hong welcomed Liu Yizhen into the banquet, and greeted Liu Yizhen enthusiastically, as if the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and even asked his son and daughter to toast Liu Yizhen, and asked them to treat Liu Yizhen like a junior.

And Liu Yizhen responded cheerfully, without any aggressive attitude.

Wang Hong's eldest son, Wang Xi, is the same as Wang Hong, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chang'an is really good at both civil and military affairs. I don't know about political affairs, but I have heard of the poem written by Mr. Chang'an. Our brothers and sisters are very fond of it." like!"

The scene seemed harmonious, but the water behind it was getting deeper and deeper.

Liu Yizhen marveled at how seamlessly with Wang Hong, and Wang Hong also lamented that Liu Yizhen was young and mature.

The first confrontation between the two sides did not test out almost anything.

Even if there is a harvest, both sides have only one harvest in common——

The other party is not easy to fool.

On the second day, Wang Hong simply suggested that everyone go to the famous scenic spots in Yuzhang County to have a good time together. By the way, he would clean up Liu Yizhen. Naturally, Liu Yizhen had no objections. He didn't really come to review Wang Hong's work in Jiangzhou, but Wang Hong this person.

The waterways in Yuzhang County are criss-crossed, and horse-drawn carriages are hardly needed.

After leaving Nanchang County, Liu Yizhen and a group of Jiangzhou high-ranking officials boarded a light boat and drove on the vertical and horizontal waterway with the breeze.

This is the first time for Liu Yizhen to truly enjoy the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Looking at the green hills beside the waterway, he is also full of admiration: "In ancient times, it was recorded in the "Shen Yi Jing · Dong Huang Jing" that there is Yu Zhangyan outside the eastern wasteland. This tree belongs to Kyushu. It is thousands of feet high, surrounded by hundreds of feet, and originally three hundred feet high. It is like a branch, and it is spread like a tent. Cutting it can account for the good and bad luck of the Kyushu."

"Although this Yuzhang is not a sacred tree, it is indeed related to the world. It is true that it can predict the good and bad of Kyushu. What do you think?"

Liu Yizhen refers to Yuzhang by referring to Yuzhang Shenmu, which was recorded in ancient times, and uses Yuzhang to refer to Wang Hong, or the Wang family.

It shows that he is asking Yuzhang, but in fact he is asking Langya Wang.

But Wang Hong continued to dodge: "The Yuzhang Shenmu is just a legend, and I don't know if it is true or not. Although Yuzhang County is big, it is not as important as Danyang governed by Duke Chang'an, isn't it? There is Jingzhou in the west and Yangzhou in the east. This Yuzhang really cannot be said to be related to the community of the world."

Liu Yizhen chuckled: "Your Majesty is wrong. This Yuzhang County is divided into wings and connected to Henglu. The three rivers lead the five lakes, and the wild thorns are controlled to attract Ouyue. Is it important?"

This time, Wang Hong completely started to pretend to be stupid: "Mr. Chang'an is really good at writing! He wrote neat parallel prose casually, which is amazing."

Seeing that Wang Hong was still not on the road, Liu Yizhen was a little helpless, but he also wisely stopped leading the topic, and got along with Wang Hong and others like a normal game.

I have to say that the current Yuzhang County is really a good place for vacation. In terms of prosperity, it is naturally inferior to Jiankang, but in terms of scenery, it is even higher than Jiankang.

"It's just a pity that Mrs. Guo wasn't brought out..."

Beautiful scenery and no one.Once upon a time, this was the life Liu Yizhen yearned for.

But right now it is difficult.

When you come to Poyang Lake in Yuzhang County, you will naturally go to play.

But right now this Poyang Lake is still called Peng Ze.

Everyone came to a small building by the river, looking at the magnificent and beautiful Peng Ze, they all swept away the oppression in the officialdom.

Even the two principals, Liu Yizhen and Wang Hong, did not test each other at this time, and were immersed in the scenery of the river and the sky together.

Soon the arranged banquet was served.

"Mr. Chang'an, this is my unique lake fish in Pengze. It tastes very different from river fish. You should try it carefully."

Wang Hong arranged for someone to place a plate of fragrant fish in front of Liu Yizhen, and he could tell the delicacy of the fish just by looking at the luster that spread like a beautiful jade.

Liu Yizhen took a closer look, and the tangy smell of fish really made his index finger twitch.

"It is indeed a good fish. There is no earthy smell. It must be a big fish just caught today?"

"Mr. Chang'an is indeed an interesting person."

Taking a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, the fish meat was scattered lightly like cotton wool, but when Liu Yizhen put it in his mouth and chewed, he could feel the springiness of the fish meat.

"Good fish!"

One side of water and soil supports one side of people, this Peng Ze's fish tastes really special.

Seeing Liu Yizhen move their chopsticks, the others stopped being polite and started to enjoy the fish around them.

Liu Yizhen ate very quickly, and the two chopsticks flew up and down, completely peeling off the fish meat from the fish bone, and then put it into his mouth to eat.

The fish was indeed plump, and soon there was a pile of fish bones on the table.

Liu Yizhen wiped his mouth with deep meaning: "It's delicious! It's just that this fish is a bit too small."

other people:"……"

Liu Yizhen's fish weighed two catties, it was the biggest fish, yet Liu Yizhen thought it was too small?
It was Wang Hong who reacted quickly, and immediately said: "It would be great if Mr. Chang'an likes it! I'll ask someone to make two more!"

Liu Yizhen stretched out his hand to stop it: "Although the fish is good, it lacks the fun of eating fish."

He pointed to Peng Ze next to the small building: "This Peng Ze is right in front, why don't you go fishing together, it's fun to eat the fish you catch yourself, prince, are you right?"

Wang Hong's expression changed, but he still followed Liu Yizhen's words: "That's right, the taste of eating the fish I caught is really different."

"But after all, I have never fished before. Would the prince be willing to accompany me?"

"Since Lord Chang'an invites you, is there any reason to shirk?"

As a last resort, everyone moved to the pier again.

After that, Liu Yizhen began to be "hypocritical" again.

"I'm tired of making this big boat, but I haven't done this small fishing boat that can take two people. The prince doesn't mind sharing the boat with me, right?"

Everyone hurriedly dissuaded: "Mr. Chang'an, this is a boat used by fishermen on weekdays. It is extremely dirty. And no one knows whether this boat is safe..."

"Crack!"

While everyone was still chattering, Liu Yizhen jumped into the boat.

Liu Yizhen turned around and extended an invitation to Wang Hong.

"This boat is very strong, and some fishy smell is not a problem. Why don't the princes come soon?"

Wang Hong looked around and could only force a smile: "Mr. Chang'an wait a moment."

So after getting the fishing tackle, Wang Hong also came to the boat with the support of everyone.

Without waiting for other people to react, Liu Yizhen found an oar and pushed hard against the pier, and the boat left the pier under the reaction.

"Everyone, wait for a while, and if I really catch a fish, I will definitely entertain you all!"

So everyone could only wait anxiously on the shore, watching the boat get further and further away.

At this time, Wang Hong also calmed down as he came, and tidied up the fishing lines in an orderly manner.

Liu Yizhen took a fishing rod to play with, and sat down opposite Wang Hong.

The boat just floated in the center of Pengze, feeling the gentle lake wind, and the two of them didn't say a word.

After a while, Wang Hong's fishing rod started to move.

"The prince's fishing is really stable."

Wang Hong was quite speechless looking at the fishing rod in Liu Yizhen's hand that turned over and over for a while, and said earnestly, "Mr. Chang'an. Fish, that's not how you fish."

"I know."

Liu Yizhen intensified and turned the fishing rod even more vigorously, causing ripples on the lake surface.

"But if I hadn't muddied the water, the prince wouldn't have caught the fish so quickly, right?"

Wang Hong gently put away the fishing rod, took off the baited fish and put it back into the lake.

He looked at the calm lake: "The fish are everywhere. This Peng Ze is so big, you can always catch fish in another place."

"But you and I are on this boat now, aren't we?"

Wang Hong was at a loss for words for a while.

Liu Yizhen threw the fishing rod in his hand to his feet, and looked straight at Wang Hong.

"My lord, I've enjoyed the scenery and eaten the fish. It's time to give me a good word."

Seeing Liu Yizhen's attitude of opening the skylight and speaking bluntly, Wang Hong was a little funny: "So fast? I thought Chang'an could bear it for a few more days."

"The prince is a smart man, not a fool. What should be done has been done today, and the rest is a waste of time."

"I'm not afraid to make a statement first and lose the upper hand. Anyway, this time I came here with the intention of losing money, and I'm not afraid that the prince will cheat me."

Wang Hong was left speechless by Liu Yizhen's thick skin.

"Chang'an used some belongings to drag my Wang family into trouble, and now he's getting cheap and acting like a good boy?"

Anyway, he was in the middle of the lake at this moment, and the heavens and the earth knew you and me, and Wang Hong gradually let go of his disguise.

"My Wang family has been famous for a hundred years, and now it's time to be wise and protect my life. If I still stir up the situation at this time, I will definitely end up with a narrow escape."

It's hard to imagine that the dignified head of the Langya Wang family is so pessimistic about the future of the Langya Wang family.

"The prince thinks now is the time to protect himself wisely?"

Liu Yizhen counterattacked with a questioning tone.

"The change today has never happened in a hundred years. No one knows when the next time will be. Will it be 100 years? Or 200 years?"

"If you miss today, maybe what you miss is forever."

"The prince really thinks that after enduring this moment, he can continue to find opportunities to make a comeback?"

"How did the Hongnong Yang family stir up the situation in Luoyang in the past? Now, in the past hundred years, although the prestige is still there, it is still lingering, and we pin our hopes on the next opportunity."

"As for the next opportunity, maybe we can wait for it, or maybe we can't wait until their Hongnong Yang family dies. The prince hopes that the Langya Wang family will do the same?"

Wang Hong still didn't say a word, lying on the bank of the river like a stone Buddha statue.

"Mr. Chang'an..."

"Not everyone has a chance to fight to the death."

"You have nothing to worry about now, even if you fail, it will not hurt your family."

"But I'm different, I represent the Wang family."

Wang Hong was not moved by Liu Yizhen's generous statement.

"The current situation is indeed complicated, but it is difficult to control. Mountains are still mountains, and water is still water."

"It's like this small boat, just sailing in this Pengze."

"Don't fishermen know that the catch in the Yangtze River is more abundant? Don't they know that the sea is wider?"

"But all the fishermen have is this boat."

"If the boat is gone, the fisherman will starve to death, and his family will be ruined."

Liu Yizhen rubbed the boat lightly with his fingers, there were some mottled marks on it, and the groans from the boat seemed to be telling Liu Yizhen——

This Peng Ze is his heaven.

The Yangtze River and the sea in the distance are attractive, but they are powerless.

"Then dare to ask the prince, how can this boat enter the sea?"

Wang Hong patted the hull lightly: "Don't Mr. Chang'an understand the truth?"

"Small boats cannot enter the sea, but large boats can ride the wind and waves."

"When the boat becomes bigger, stronger, and able to carry more people, it's time for it to go to sea."

"But the premise is that Mr. Chang'an will become the owner of this ship."

"Not the helmsman, not the captain, but the master."

"Otherwise, the boat will never sail."

Liu Yizhen looked at Wang Hong as if he was looking at another self.

"Then how can I become the owner of this ship?"

"This is not something I can answer."

Wang Hong did not want to talk about this step.

Besides, it's presumptuous.

Liu Yizhen was no longer in the mood to appreciate the gorgeous river scenery at this time, but sighed sadly.

"That's going to take a long time."

"When it grows... many people will die of old age."

Rubbing his temples, the divine light in Liu Yizhen's eyes gradually gathered again.

"But the ship has to go out no matter what."

Seeing Liu Yizhen regain his strength, Wang Hong's eyes showed a strange brilliance.

And Liu Yizhen also began to ask some questions routinely.

"I plan to open a public school, is the prince willing to come to sit in the town?"

"Teaching is not the old man's forte. But if Duke Chang'an doesn't dislike it, I can ask the court to let my younger brother go."

"It's fine if you don't want to, don't cheat on your brother. It's not easy for them to grow up so big."

"My father asked me to ask you if you have any resentment in your heart."

"No."

"really?"

"There... a little bit."

Wang Hong laughed awkwardly and shyly.

It's right, if not, then treat Liu Yizhen like a fool.

Liu Yizhen didn't care too much. After talking with Wang Hong, he clarified his attitude, and everything else was trivial.

At this time, the sun had already set on the surface of the water, and there was some golden light around the rippling boat.

Seeing that it was about the same time, Liu Yizhen rowed his oars and planned to go ashore.

"Mr. Chang'an won't look at this beautiful scenery any more?"

"not in the mood."

Liu Yizhen looked back at the sunset, and then started rowing vigorously again: "When my heart is full of regrets, looking at this sunset is not a beautiful scene, but melancholy."

"It's hard to find a confidant in life."

"Wang Xiu counts one, and the monk guide counts half. When I saw the prince today, the prince can take two."

"It's a pity that these two people don't want to go with me. Isn't this a great pity in life?"

Wang Hong was amused by these words.

"Why is the prince laughing?"

"Mr. Chang'an's gesture reminds me of a good friend of mine. He also persuades me all day long. Unfortunately, I have always declined his kindness."

Liu Yizhen chuckled: "Then my friends and the prince's are all hard-working people? Are they begging the prince?"

"Mr. Chang'an was joking."

Wang Hong also picked up an oar from the side to help Liu Yizhen row the boat, and finally got to the pier when the last light in the sky was swallowed.

Liu Yizhen showed everyone his empty fish basket in embarrassment: "Peng Ze's fish is too fine, but I didn't catch it. It's a pity. I can only catch it with a net later, when a lot of fish fall into the net. It's all up to me to cook or fry!"

Wang Hong, who was about to go ashore, staggered when he heard Liu Yizhen's words, almost fell to the ground, and looked at Liu Yizhen with disbelief.

Liu Yizhen showed a sly smile.

"A prince... a gentleman cannot be a master."

You, I am determined!
