Song Dynasty

Chapter 267 Wang Shen's Marriage ([-])

In fact, not only the officials under him, but even Wang Shen has something like ambition sprouting in his heart, but he feels that his current power is still small.Moreover, there are tens of thousands of bandits in the north of the territory and the more powerful puppet Qi and Jurchen forces are oppressing it. It's a bit like trying to survive in the cracks, but I don't realize it yet.

After he came to Huangzhou, he seized the military power, appointed his confidants as local officials, ignored his former boss Li Heng, acted domineeringly, and had no so-called court righteousness in his mind.

This is also understandable. For a traveler, the Song Dynasty is the most humiliating page in the history of the Han nation. He has a good impression of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, there is no such thing as the so-called loyalty of ordinary people in this era to the court. .

The reason why he is now an official in the Song Dynasty is just to expand his strength under the banner of the court.Once the strength is sufficient, he will throw this flag without hesitation.

Soon, news came that Li Cheng already knew that Wang Shen's Chinese army had arrived in Dingzhou, and asked Wang Shen's envoys to meet him in the city to discuss the plan to suppress the bandits.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Li Tianwang for a year." In the early morning of the second day, Wang Shen only brought twenty cavalry and set off along the official road.

Riding on the horse, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I think back then, a certain person was just a follower of Zhang Deyuan's disciple, and he followed the official's order to go to Jiangbei to recruit Li Boyou. But he didn't want to. He encountered bandits as soon as he crossed the river, and the team was rushed away. After we broke up, I also drifted to Pingyuan Town and temporarily joined Liu Guangshi's Huaixi Army."

"The troops were besieged, life and death were at stake, for the sake of the lives of the brothers, it was worth standing up, pretending to be an angel of the imperial court to contact Li Tianwang, this is the story behind it. If Li Boyou hadn't been willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light at that time, I am afraid that this is now a A pile of bones."

Wang Shen had said such lies before, but now he said them with eloquence and emotion.

Du Shu, who rode alongside him on horseback, said with a smile: "If it weren't for this, Dao Si would not have made such great feats, nor would he be as rich as he is today. At the most important moment, Dao Si would have won the confidante Miss An. , Immortal couple, really envy the world."

Hearing about An Niang, Wang Shen showed a smile on his face: "Don't say it, I'm really homesick after being out for such a long time."

Du Shu: "Who wouldn't? I also miss my children, and my grandson whom I have never met!"

"It's coming soon, I can go back soon, and it's not a big deal to put down the chaos of Zhongxiang."

Du Shu: "By the way, when the old man came back from Jiankang this time, Du Xianggong asked about your marriage? He said that if you get married, he will give you a gift to congratulate you. In addition, he also has to pay for An Miss An has been with you for so long, you have to give her a title, right?"

Wang Shen said seriously: "That's exactly what I mean. When I get rid of Zhong Xiang, if there is time, I will marry Miss An after returning to Anlu. An Niang has suffered a lot for more than a year, and I owe her a lot." .”

Hearing this, Yue Yun, who was following behind, showed surprise on his face, and hammered his thigh with his hand: "That's a good relationship, that's a good relationship!"

Seeing his uncontrollable joy, everyone burst out laughing.

However, suddenly Wang Shen's expression changed, and he turned his head to look at Du Shu, as if two knives were hidden in his eyes: "Du Xiang just said this, is there anything else?"

Being stared at by him, Du Shu felt fear in his heart, felt the hair on his vest stand on end, and said: "No, no, nothing...it's nothing..."

Wang Shen: "Yue Zhi, think again, you definitely haven't finished what Du Xiang said."

Du Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said: "Du Xianggong said, Daosi, you are now the one who founded the mansion and built the teeth alone. According to the court's etiquette, a leading general like you has to send his family back to the capital for resettlement. He...he old man has asked someone to repair the yard for you in Jiankang..."

"Repair the yard?" Wang Shen sneered.

Yue Yun was puzzled: "Military envoy, why don't others give you and your sister's house for free?"

Wang Shen scolded: "Ying Xiang, are you out of your mind? If your sister is sent to the capital, we'll be fighting outside, and I'm afraid we won't see her in three or two years. Also, what's the point of going to the capital for resettlement? This is clearly a hostage."

"Ah, hostage!" Yue Yun was startled, and immediately furious at the thought: "Zhi Niang is a traitor, the court is full of traitors. We can't see her outside for three or two years, what if Elder Sister is bullied? I don’t agree with this ridiculous system. I oppressed me and treated us as vegetarians. I really annoyed my young master, so I changed his surname to Zhao and helped my military envoy to be the emperor.”

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked.

Du Shu turned pale with fright: "Ying Xiang, these are rebellious words, what if it gets out?"

"What's the matter? How dare you be so cowardly, Mr. Taishan? If the military envoy becomes the emperor, what's wrong with him? His Zhao family became emperor by bullying the orphans and widows of the Chai family. It's not right to win the country. He did it. On the first day of junior high school, others can do fifteen. So what if the military envoy is an angel, whoever refuses to accept it, just raise troops to fight. We have won even Jurchen and Khitan, who are we afraid of? Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun or Han Liangchen ?”

"Master Taishan, when our military envoy becomes the son of heaven, my grandpa is the uncle of the country. I will ask for a reward for you. The king is impossible, and the Duke of the country is still good." After finishing speaking, Yue Yun laughed loudly. stand up.

Others laughed too.

"Absurd, crazy..." Du Shu's face turned pale, and he couldn't stop scolding: "You bastard, I was so blind when I married my daughter to you, I'm afraid our family will be killed by you in the future. Also, don’t think that I don’t know what you did, you little bastard. You used me as a bait to lure the false Crown Prince Chu to attack, and I almost died on the battlefield. Disobedience and disobedience, little bastard, wickedness..."

Yue Yun rolled his eyes: "Old Taishan, aren't you in danger? Since I dared to set up this trap to lure the enemy, I am sure of saving you."

Wang Shen was furious, and lashed Yue Yun's back with a whip: "Shut up, do you ever talk to an old man like that? A certain person is loyal to the court and the officials, and this heart can be seen in the sky. If you say such nonsense , cut you down with a single knife. Hurry up and go back to the barracks, and let me guard the old Xingyuan camp."

Nonsense, as a time traveler, in modern society, the concept of equality has been deeply rooted in his bones.After arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, they naturally refused to kneel down and kowtow when they saw someone with a higher official than themselves like the ancients did.If so, he might as well be dead.

However, if you want to live your life without kneeling, and your own destiny is not manipulated by others, you can only be an emperor.In the world, only the emperor is not allowed to kneel to others.

Since everyone cannot be equal, I will find a way to be more equal than others.

Yes, now I have one side in Jiezhen, and one is the emperor, but so what, what if I see the emperor in the future?

Grandpa Yue, what a hero.Just because he controlled the largest field army in the Song Dynasty and violated the emperor's taboo, he had to go to the Hall of Storms to lie down.

What a hero Han Shizhong is, in order to survive and liberate himself from military power, he cried like a child in front of the emperor, and in the end he could barely save his life.

Wang Shen didn't want such a fate to happen to himself and his family.

That's right, doesn't every traverser have to go to the step of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor in the end?

It's just that my current strength is too small to talk about this.

After driving Yue Yun away, Wang Shen comforted Du Shu, who was still trembling with anger, "Ying Xiang is just a fourteen or fifteen year old child, with a fresh lanugo hair and fresh milk, so it's not worth arguing with him. You go back to Xingyuan first, and Ying Xiang will definitely come to apologize to you later."

"I killed the old man with anger, I killed the old man with anger!" Du Shu beat his chest and stamped his feet for a long time, and was finally persuaded by his followers to leave.

This time when I went to Dingzhou to meet Li Cheng, Du Shu and Yue Yun did not accompany Wang Shen.Yue Yun was under the command of the Beiwei army, so he wanted to stay in the barracks to take charge of the overall situation; and the feud between the Du family and Li Cheng was as deep as the sea, so it was naturally not convenient for Du Shu to go.

"Military envoy, it's getting late, and there is still a long way to go, please start!" Beside, Yan Yuemeng urged, his eyes gleaming.

Just now, he was really shocked by Yue Yun's rebellious words and deeds.But when Yue Yun said that the Zhao family relied on bullying the orphans and widows of the Chai family to become the emperor, it was not the right time to win the country, but he believed it deeply in his heart.

Hearing Yue Yun say that he would make his husband the Duke of the state in the future, he was even more shocked: Yes, yes, with the presence of Dukes for thousands of generations, this is a sky-high wealth.If it really gets to that point, what status should I, Yan Yuemeng, have.

It's not that I'm arrogant, I still have talents in wind and music, and it's much stronger than Fang Worong.His classmate Fang is now just a mere prince of Yu, who spends his days scooping food with a ladle in the military camp, but now I am a military envoy's praise painting.Obviously, the military envoy knows my talents.

If there is such a day, what kind of situation will I be in?Transit all the way, no no no, it's a joke, isn't that Qu Cai?It’s hard to say that I will enter the Six Departments, or even enter the Political Affairs Hall... With my Sizhou army being brave and good at fighting, what territory can't be defeated...

And these, the Zhao Song court could not give me.After leaving the military envoy, I, Yan Yuemeng, am just a small scholar.Even if you want to take the Jinshi exam, you have to go through the exam step by step from the beginning.

Thinking of this, something called ambition took root in his heart and thrived: I don’t eat five tripods in life, and I eat five tripods in death.

"Okay, let's go, don't make Li Boyou wait too long." Wang Shen nodded and rushed out on horseback first.

Yan Yuemeng hurried to catch up, and said in a low voice: "The military envoy may be troubled about the marriage, but if one of your subordinates has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"Yeah, I'm just annoyed by this, but the court's system is a system, so what can I do? You have something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Yan said to Meng: "Mrs. An must not be sent to Jiankang for resettlement. This matter cannot be agreed, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Mrs. An has a high prestige in our army and the soldiers are convinced. If it is another woman, it will be fine. If she goes to the capital, The imperial court just pinched the military envoy's soft stranglehold. A man is not controlled by the sky, the ground is not controlled by the earth, and the middle is not controlled by others. How can he let others be rounded and flattened. Moreover, General Yingxiang will not agree in the first place , I'm afraid something will happen."

Wang Shen sighed: "Yeah, that's what I think. I'm especially worried about Ying Xiang. Their sister and brother love each other deeply, and General Yue won't leave An Niang for a moment. By the way, what do you want to say?"

Yan Yuemeng: "Actually, from the point of view of my subordinates, it's easy to perfuse this matter..." He lowered his voice and said, "The general can make a trick."
