Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 497 The arrival of the saint

Zhu Chenhao seemed to have returned to the Ning Wang Mansion in Nanchang. When he saw his princess for the first time, he felt that there was no woman in the world more beautiful than Lou Suzhen.

Out of his competitive spirit, Zhu Chenhao could not help wanting to give the little girl some warning. Etiquette, music, archery and charioteering were too difficult for her, so he might as well test her in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Unexpectedly, Lou Suzhen was able to answer these tests with ease, showing extremely high attainments in each one and being proficient in everything.

Zhu Chenhao liked her even more and believed that this girl was the one who would accompany him for the rest of his life.

After getting married, they painted and wrote poems together, and their footprints covered most of Jiangxi.
The memory was so beautiful that King Ning was immersed in it and was unwilling to wake up from it for a long time.

However, the hunger in his stomach mercilessly pulled him back from his beautiful memories, forcing him to slowly open his eyes.

When he turned around, he found Ou Zanghua was still there, and King Ning suddenly felt that it was good for him to be unconscious.

"Now that the prince has woken up, I feel relieved." Upon seeing this, Ou Zanghua said calmly.

"Jingyu is still here, I guess you have something else to say!" King Ning sighed and sat up: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Ou Zanghua nodded and said, "Concubine Lou had previously arranged for Prince Ning and the four concubines to leave by boat. Now the boat has been protected by us. Do you want to send the prince and the four concubines over to reunite with the prince?"

"Haha. What kind of protection are you talking about? A prisoner is a prisoner."

Prince Ning shook his head listlessly: "They have enjoyed the luxurious life of Ning Fan, now it is time to repay them! There is no need to send it, everything will be handled by Zhengde."

"I understand." Ou Zanghua nodded and stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute." King Ning didn't expect Ou Zanghua to leave so freely. He couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to know who else my accomplices are?"

"That's not important," Ou Zanghua shook his head and said calmly, "Your Majesty will make his own arrangements."

King Ning frowned, then suddenly realized something, laughed bitterly and said, "I finally know where I lost. You two are really a pair of king and minister. You are sweet on the outside but treacherous on the inside! Hahaha."

Ou Zanghua smiled and said, "Your Majesty, take care!"

After saying this, he turned around and left. Now he was the governor-general of Jiangsu, Fujian and Jiangxi, and also the provincial governor, and he had a lot of things to do. If it weren't for the sake of such an extraordinary woman like Concubine Lou, he would not have waited until Prince Ning woke up before leaving.

At present, Ou Zanghua is temporarily living in a house in Qixia Mountain. When he came back, he found that there was one more person in the courtyard.

"Elder brother, long time no see!"

When Xiang Danian saw his senior brother coming in, he went to greet him.

"Da Nian, why are you here? Did Governor Wang send you here?"

As soon as Ou Zanghua saw Xiang Danian, he excitedly shook his hand and asked with concern: "Da Nian, how are you doing in the northwest? Wei Yi also went to the northwest after the New Year. Have you met him?"

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. I have seen Wei Yi and the foreign girl. Lord Wang also knows the situation."

Xiang Danian smiled and replied, "I'm fine. Yingying gave birth to a baby in April this year. We thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good name, so we temporarily nicknamed her April. So I came to ask Senior Brother to give her a name!"

"Great!"

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua was even more delighted and asked immediately, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a girl!"

Ou Zanghua thought for a moment and then happily suggested, "Then let's call it Xiang Qinghe. April is also called Qinghe Month, which means today is beautiful and warm but not hot, just like the beauty of Qinghe." "Qinghe... Xiang Qinghe... what a good name!" Xiang Danian nodded happily and praised, "I think Yingying will like it too."

"Oh, look at my brain, I almost forgot something more important!" Xiang Danian suddenly knocked his head and said with a smile: "Big Brother, the real guest is still inside!"

Ou Zanghua was startled and looked up involuntarily. He saw a man with a slightly thin face, bright eyes and extraordinary temperament resting in the lobby.

"Mr. Wang Yangming?"

"Ou Chunguan?"

Wang Yangming bowed and said calmly, "I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here uninvited."

"I have heard of Mr. Yangming's great name for a long time. Now that I have met him, I have no regrets in my life."

After Ou Zanghua returned the greeting with a bow, he made an inviting gesture and said, "There is a pavilion in the backyard, which is quiet and elegant. Please come and have a gathering with Mr. Yangming. No matter what, I must have a good chat with you!"

"Please excuse me, Mr. Chun!" Wang Yangming responded with a smile.

The two men walked towards the rain pavilion in the backyard, one in front and one behind. Wang Yangming was now the governor-general of Ganxi and the governor of Anxi, a second-rank frontier official.

Ou Zanghua was the Minister of Rites, Governor-General and Governor-General of Jiangsu, Fujian and Jiangxi, also of the second rank. In terms of rank, the two were equal.

It’s just that Ou Zanghua was a Beijing official, naturally half a level higher than local officials, so Wang Yangming lagged behind Ou Zanghua half a step.

When you encounter a dull moment talking to someone you meet for the first time, finding common ground is undoubtedly the most effective way to bring you closer.

Wang Yangming was from Yuyao, Zhejiang, and Ou Zanghua was from Hengyang, Huguang.

Wang Yangming was already 47 years old, while Ou Zanghua was only 28 years old.

In the Ming Dynasty, if the little prince had worked harder, his son would be almost as old as Ou Zanghua.
So strictly speaking, the two men had nothing in common except that they were both ministers of Emperor Zhengde.

But who could blame Ou Zanghua for having his teacher being Comrade Li Dongyang, the famous Ming Dynasty dream maker?

Wang Yangming's teacher
It's him too!
"Brother Wang, please have some tea."

"Junior Brother Ou, you are so polite!"

The two chatted like this, and as soon as they sat down in the pavilion, they became fellow apprentices and brothers, which surprised Xiang Danian who was standing beside them.

Wang Yangming took a sip of tea, put down the porcelain cup, and his expression became even softer: "Junior Brother Ou, the Northwest is the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and now it has returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. I really hope to manage it well and make it regain its former glory. It's a pity that a good cook can't cook without rice!"

"The land is extremely barren, the mountains are barren, there is a lack of water and food, and most importantly, there is an extreme shortage of manpower!"

"Especially the lack of Han people!"

“Without the Han people, even if the region is run brilliantly, it will only serve as a wedding dress for others.”

"So, when I heard about Junior Brother Ou's plan, I immediately wrote to His Majesty, begging for His Majesty's grace to allow me to come to the south to 'rob people'."

Ou Zanghua smiled when he heard this and said, "Brother Wang really came at the right time. I was thinking that even if the means were a little tough, as long as we could successfully relocate people to the three places of Northwest, Liaodong and Guizhou, we would have achieved our goal."

"Now that Senior Brother is here, we can make some good plans and make them willingly follow Senior Brother to the northwest."
