Chapter 12 The twelfth chapter Hao Lingquan presents his head to ask for credit Wang Maozhong strongly recommends Zhang Shuo

Mo Chuu failed to propose a marriage at the beginning, so he invaded the Tang Dynasty, but Guo Qianquan was in the west, and Xie Wan was guarding the frontier in the middle.Since Mo Chuai asked for marriage, it also showed that he would no longer use force to fight Datang, and the northern frontier was relatively peaceful.Li Longji ignored his marriage proposal, but allowed the two sides to send envoys to communicate with each other, and the tense situation between the two sides eased slightly. During the Spring Festival, the princes and princes of all parties sent envoys to Beijing to pay tribute as usual. After the Spring Festival, the imperial court also sent envoys to visit the four directions. They carried a lot of money and goods and distributed them everywhere in the name of rewards from the emperor.That year, Hao Lingquan, head of the Dianke Department of Honglu Temple, was sent to the north as an envoy to Tibet, and he was going to visit various Turkic ministries.On this day, when they arrived at the gathering place of ten Turkic surnames, the leader Ba Yegu welcomed him into the tent and gave him a big gift, which was a head of a person.

The ten Turkic surnames are a branch of the Western Turks. When Guo Yuanzhen was the governor of Anxi, its leader, Que Chuo Zhongjie, had a feud with the Western Turkic Suoge Khan. It was very well arranged.Later, Zong Chuke and Ji Chuna accepted Que Chuzhongjie's bribe and expelled Guo Yuanzhen, which caused war in the Western Regions.A few years later, the imperial court still came forward to place the Turkic ten surnames in the Dolos River Basin, and ordered Khan Suoge and Khan Mochuu not to be embarrassed.Since Dolos Water is close to the ground governed by Mo Chuo, Que Chuo Zhongjie took the initiative to express his favor to Mo Chuo and was willing to accept its control.After Que Chuzhongjie's death, his successor Ba Yegu continued to maintain this situation.

Mochuo has been hostile to Datang over the years, causing heavy casualties and losses, and demands more and more from these weak tribes.At first, Ba Yegu gritted his teeth and persisted, but when he couldn't bear it anymore, he made up his mind and made an earth-shattering event. In fact, there are no jewels and jades here, they are nothing more than cattle and sheep. One day, Mochuu sent someone to see Ba ​​Yegu and asked for how much cattle and sheep to send.For nomadic tribes, these cattle and sheep were actually the rations of the tribe, and Ba Yegu had no extra cattle and sheep to give away, so he flatly refused.The visitor said coldly: "It's fine if you don't give it. Big Khan said that if you don't give it, he will ask for it himself." Then he walked away.

Silently hearing that Ba Yegu, who had always been submissive, dared to disobey orders, he was furious, and he led a hundred horsemen to ask for it.It's a pity that before he reached the tent of ten Turkic surnames, he was surrounded by hundreds of people who had ambushed and beheaded on the way, and Mo Chuai's head fell into the hands of Ba Yigu. Hao Lingquan couldn't help being ecstatic when he saw Mo Chuan's head placed in front of him.Silently swaying the Tang Dynasty for many years, it is really a happy thing for him to be killed so easily.Hao Lingquan even thought that the imperial court had rewarded him with great military merits before, and he must have made a great contribution by bringing Mo Chuan's head back to the capital. The imperial court would at least reward him with a general for doing it.Thinking of this, he asked ecstatically, "So, this head will be dedicated to Datang from now on."

Ba Yigu respectfully said: "Yes, I was about to send someone to send this head to the capital, and it happened that the envoy came. Isn't such a beautiful event specially designed for the envoy?" Although Hao Lingquan is a ninth-rank official, he has seen the world after all, and now he is the ambassador of the Shang Kingdom. Of course, he knows the advance and retreat of words, so he snorted and said: "Hmph, don't I know your thoughts? I think that in the Three Kingdoms, Wu The state beheaded Guan Yu, but sent his head to the state of Wei. This is a plan to put blame on you. Your plan today is just to seek protection from the Tang Dynasty for fear of causing trouble to your upper body."

Ba Yigu saw that Hao Lingquan recognized his intentions, and said more respectfully: "Yes, your envoy really understands my intentions. In this case, I ask your envoy to speak more kind words for our department after returning to Beijing. Here we prepare some gold beads and other items, please bring them back to the envoy to communicate with the joints." Hao Lingquan saw that Ba Yigu was quite sensible, and said in a big bag, "It's okay. Today's Tang Dynasty is either for the kingdoms of Wei and Wu in the past, or if it really kills Mochuo, what's there to be afraid of?"

By the time Hao Lingquan rushed back to the capital full of joy, Li Longji had already led all the officials to tour the capital.Seeing such a big matter, Zhang Jiazhen didn't dare to specialize in it, so she asked Hao Lingquan to take Mo Chuai's head to catch up with the driver, waiting for the emperor to make a decision. Li Longji's car had already patrolled to Bianzhou at this time, which is the junction of Henan Road, Hebei Road and Duji Road.Before leaving Beijing, Li Longji said that his eastward tour would stop in Bianzhou, and he would return to Beijing after staying in Bianzhou for a few days.According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, when the emperor stayed in a certain place for more than three days, all the governors of the states with a radius of three hundred miles would come to see him.Zhang said that he was the governor of Xiangzhou at that time, and he was also among the audience.

An important part of the emperor's tour was to inspect the fields. The day after Li Longji arrived in Bianzhou, he inspected the fields surrounded by officials and governors of various states. The ground of Bianzhou is flat, and the Bian Canal dug in the Sui Dynasty connected the Yellow River from Banzhu near Hulao Pass, and then flowed southeast into Hongze Lake, thus connecting with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.At that time, the Yellow River had not changed its course, and it was nearly 200 miles away from Bianzhou to the north.The opening of the Bianqu can not only benefit the irrigation of farmland, but also facilitate the transportation of boats.If one is far away from Bianqu, one can see the huge Hongge ships on the surface of the canal constantly coming and going, with their towering sail shafts, showing a busy scene.

The wheat seedlings in the field have already turned green and are nearly a foot high. It can be seen that the seedlings are fat and strong, and the leaves are dark green in color.Occasionally, there is a cluster of yellow flowers on the ridge of the field, which contrasts with the large green area, which is quite lively and vivid.Li Longji learned that this field is not afraid of drought, and as long as there is water in the Yellow River, it can still guarantee a good harvest in autumn. It is considered a good deed to benefit future generations.” Ni Ruoshui had already served as Shangshu Youcheng at this time, and he was the predecessor of Bianzhou. At this time, he and the new governor of Bianzhou followed the emperor.He heard the words and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. When I was the governor of Bianzhou at the beginning, I looked at this canal and felt that the former Sui Dynasty did something good. Before the Sui Dynasty, the Guanzhong Plain was the main food producing area of ​​the country. Without these ditches, the grain output in the Central Plains has surpassed that in Guanzhong, and the grain production area has already moved eastward.”

Li Longji was in high spirits today, and asked with a smile: "I heard that when Ni Qing first came to Bianzhou, she felt bad. Dust'. Is the beauty of the paddy fields in Bianzhou not as beautiful as the horseshoe dust of Ban Jingqian?" Ni Ruoshui knew that the emperor was making fun of him, so he said with a normal face: "I first came to Bianzhou, and I was thinking about the capital, so I used the horseshoe dust to chat and express love. Your Majesty, this behavior of the minister should not interfere with political affairs, right?" "Hmph, if you follow your actions with your heart, you will be in the way of political affairs! If I didn't see that you are still diligent and have done a lot of practical things in this position, I would have sent you to a more remote place. Back to Beijing?"

The people around Li Longji chuckled when they heard the words, Song Jing always had a serious face, but now he also had a smile on his face. Li Longji asked again: "I heard that you are here in Daxingzhou County to learn, respect teachers and learn, and as a teacher, you make the weather flourish. You are diligent in political affairs, you have made great achievements in catching locusts, and you have made the fields ripe. The matter is actually the last step, the most important thing is to practice the strategy of enlightenment. I know that you are very good at eloquence, so you are not bragging about such things, right?" Ni Ruoshui bowed and said solemnly: "I don't dare. Please move to the nearest school to inspect the situation to find out the truth." Li Longji looked at Song Jing and said: "Song Qing, let's find a school to have a look. If Ni Ruoshui's actions are true, they must be promoted in all states in the world. In this way, they can not only educate people for the court, but also educate the world with the principles of sages. " Song Jing cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty's trip will really benefit future generations. The policy of enlightenment must be consistent. Only by gradually accumulating in this way can we slowly improve. I respectfully praise the emperor's grace." Li Longji didn't want to talk about this commonplace topic anymore, he nodded to Song Jing, waved to Zhang Shuo in the crowd, and shouted: "Zhang Qing, come here." Zhang said that he hadn't seen Li Longji for a long time, and he hadn't spoken face-to-face this time. Now he suddenly heard the emperor calling him, and he was overjoyed. .” Li Longji hadn't seen Zhang Shuo for several years, so he looked at his face now and felt a little older, so he sighed: "It seems that Zhang Qing is quite diligent in Xiangzhou, and the performance appraisal of the Ministry of Officials seems to be good." Zhang said: "The minister presides over Xiangzhou according to the order, and dare not slack off. It's just that it's hard to see His Majesty's holy face, and I really miss it in my heart." When Li Longji first lived in the East Palace as the prince, Zhang said that he was a student in the East Palace, and the two really had a teacher-student friendship.Hearing this, Li Longji's heart throbbed for a moment, but his expression remained the same, and he asked: "I see that Bianzhou can benefit from the irrigation of the Bianqu, which can guarantee the harvest in times of drought. Because there is no water from the Yellow River in Sixiangzhou, the fields with acres Is it not moistened only by the rain from the sky?" Zhang said: "Your Majesty, there are Zhangshui, Huanshui and other waters flowing from west to east in Xiangzhou. The east, south and north of Xiangzhou are mostly flat land, which can be irrigated with water; only the west is in the mountains. If there is no rain for a long time, people and animals in the west will be in trouble." "I have made it known to the world many times to let all states build water conservancy projects according to local conditions, why don't you try to change your mind?" "Your Majesty, I have visited the mountain many times. There are cliffs, and it is difficult for people to stand on it. It is really impossible to build. Fortunately, there are not many people there, and I encourage them to move out of the mountain, so the impact is minimal." "Well, it would be a good idea to let the mountain people cultivate on the flat land." At this time Wang Maozhong came over and said: "Your Majesty, there is a school hut two miles away from here. After your Majesty inspects it, it's time to eat." The sun in the sky had gradually reached the top of the head, so a group of people got on their horses and galloped northward. When Hao Lingquan arrived in Bianzhou, he greeted Song Jing with the box containing the head of Mo Chuai.After Song Jing heard about Hao Lingquan's envoy, disgust appeared in his eyes, he looked at the box and said, "Is this box containing the head of Mo Shui? You traveled from the desert to the capital, and then came to Bianzhou. That box Wouldn't the head in the middle be rotten like mud?" Hao Lingquan replied proudly: "The lower official knew this festival, so I asked Ba Yigu to find a master craftsman, and selected mulberry wood to make this box carefully. It is very well sealed, and the head is put in it for a year, and the water is smelly. There's not even a trace of flavor." "You have been with this box these days, and you hear the slosh of the juice in it, don't you feel disgusted in your heart?" Hao Lingquan won the first rank, thinking that his great wealth will come from this, his heart is filled with joy, where is there a trace of nausea?He replied honestly: "Prime Minister Song, this man is my great enemy of the Tang Dynasty. I feel happy and gnashing my teeth at the title of the head of a lower official, but I have no other feelings." Song Jing snorted and said angrily: "Although Mo Chuai is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, he is still the leader of the Turks. You have carried this box for thousands of miles, it is like a plaything of yours, it is really humiliating. If the Turkic people know about your behavior, they will definitely humiliate me and hate you to the bone." Hao Lingquan had thought many times before that the Holy Majesty would give him an official position if he won the head of Mochuu this time. Jin Jue.Now Song Jing's reprimand was like pouring a ladle of cold water on his head, and the coolness in his heart permeated his whole body. However, he was unwilling and muttered: "Prime Minister Song, I want to see the Holy Majesty..." Song Jing interrupted him, and reprimanded: "You are nothing more than a ninth-rank patron of Honglu Temple, and you can report to the Dianke Order of Honglu Temple as usual! You think it is strange to have obtained the first rank of Mo Chuu One merit? Hmph, do you still want to see the Holy One? Let me tell you, you are already offside when you see the truth in such a way. If you keep talking, the truth will punish you immediately." Hao Lingquan was dazed by the harsh reprimand, and was afraid to speak. Song Jing said: "Take this box back to Beijing quickly, and the Turkic people in the capital will be summoned by Honglu Temple to have a good funeral. You can leave today, don't delay!" Hao Lingquan left sadly. Song Jing was not a reckless person, so of course he had to report such a big matter to the emperor.After Hao Lingquan left, Song Jing got up and went to Li Longji's residence. After entering the room, he found that Wang Maozhong and Gao Lishi were accompanying the emperor. Li Longji listened to Song Jing's report of the process of finishing the matter, and said: "Okay, I have been silently harming the Tang Dynasty for many years, and was finally beheaded by my fellow clansmen, so I got rid of a piece of my heart." Song Jing frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Mo Chuu used to be the dominant Turkic tribe. We can fully observe its movements and plan to respond to it. Now that Mo Chuu is dead, and the Turkic people are scattered in the sand, it is even more necessary for us to go to the north. cautious." "Well, what is Song Qing worried about?" "I think that the Turkic people are doing their own thing now, and I don't know where they will enter to harass the Tang Dynasty. Now there is Guo Qianquan in the northwest, and Xie Wan is guarding in the middle, so they should be safe; only in the north of Bingzhou, Yunzhou and Daizhou. Slightly weak. Bingzhou is the place where the Tang Dynasty prospered, so it must not be harassed by the Turks." "Bingzhou has been guarded by heavenly soldiers for a long time. Their soldiers are strong and strong, and they have kept Bingzhou safe for many years. According to Qing, does Bingzhou lack a strong general to preside over it?" "Your Majesty is wise. The governor of Bingzhou has always been led by the vassal king, and the governor of Bingzhou and the ambassador of the Heavenly Army. This person must be capable of writing and martial arts to be able to take up the post. Now that there is a vacancy for this position, please fill it up as soon as possible. .” "Well, do you have anyone to recommend you?" "How is Ni Ruoshui?" "This person has never been in charge of military affairs in his entire life. Song Qing, there is no need to rush this matter. Let's think about it slowly and discuss it later. By the way, Hao Lingquan went to the desert and brought back Mo Chuai's head. It can be said to be meritorious, and should be rewarded according to the regulations of the imperial court. Why did you reprimand him and rush back to the capital, will this chill the hearts of others?" "When His Majesty was in Lishan in the past, Mr. Yao once said ten things. Among them, Mr. Yao asked His Majesty not to seek to expand the territory within 30 years. It seems that His Majesty agreed at the beginning?" "That's right, I promise not to ask for meritorious service, but to be quiet." "That's right, if I let His Majesty promote Hao Lingquan, in case His Majesty rewards him with money and goods, this will be a declaration to the world: From now on, everyone can use their merits to invite favor!" Li Longji was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then laughed: "Haha, Song Qing is 'Xiao Gui Cao Sui'. However, in this way, Hao Lingquan's hard work has been wronged." After Hao Lingquan returned to Beijing, he was hopeless, looking forward to the imperial court's appointment and promotion, so he waited for more than a year, and in the autumn of the next year, Song Jing just awarded him the title of Youwuweilang General, a military officer of the sixth rank.Hao Lingquan had not been promoted for a long time, and his heart was already full of anxiety and anger. Now seeing such a low-level dismissed official, he became even more enraged, and died of anger a few days later. Song Jing played the matter to the emperor, Wang Maozhong and Gao Lishi at the side did not dare to intervene, they knew that Song Jing would not show mercy to them, if not, they would be reprimanded by Song Jing.After Song Jing left, Wang Maozhong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if Song Jing is the chancellor, it will be difficult for a soldier with a background like a slave to have a bright future." Wang Maozhong is now in command of the Forbidden Army. He was Li Longji's long-term follower in the past, and he is actually the most trusted person around Li Longji.Li Longji laughed and said: "Song Jing is indeed like Wei Zheng. Every time I see him, I have to cheer up in my heart, lest I say the wrong thing, let alone you? , will benefit the country in the end. I have such a good look, why bother with the little things?" Wang Maozhong said: "Your Majesty, when Song Jing mentioned the candidate for Bingzhou just now, I think of a person. This person is capable of writing and martial arts, and he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Duke Yao." At this time, Li Longji knew the person Wang Maozhong recommended, and said with a smile: "You probably want to recommend Zhang? Actually, when I was talking to Song Jing just now, I already thought of this person. Well, let me tell you the reason for your recommendation." "There are rumors from outsiders that the reason why Zhang Shuo was demoted from Beijing was due to his disagreement with Yao Chong. It goes without saying that Zhang Shuo's literary talent and official ability, the slaves also heard that he read military books when he was young, and knew military affairs well. Emperor Zhongzong once served as the Minister of the Ministry of War. Such a person who is capable of writing and martial arts can be worthy of the post." Seeing that Gao Lishi had been silent, Li Longji asked, "General Gao, what's your opinion on this matter?" Gao Lishi bowed and said, "I'm an internal official. I don't know military affairs, so I dare not speak out." Hearing the words, Wang Maozhong was a bit harsh, and thought to himself: This old eunuch is really very cunning.When he spoke like this, it reflected that he was lying. Gao Lishi had previously heard that Zhang Shuo had a hot fight with Wang Maozhong in private, but now that Wang Maozhong strongly recommends Zhang Shuo, it proves the truth.Wang Maozhong is becoming domineering now, and he has the intention of bullying Gao Lishi in his daily words, but Gao Lishi is very reserved, and he will never show his dissatisfaction with Wang Maozhong. Yao Chong was worshiped by Li Longji in Lishan, and since then he has made drastic changes in his administration, and his authority has increased day by day.Zhang Jiuling wrote to Yao Chong several times as a Zuo picker, urging him to be flattering and honest. The words in the book are sharp. The use of talents is not a lesson from ignorant people, and the reason why he lost his drowning is an act of fate." After Yao Chong read it, he paid attention to Zhang Jiuling.Shortly thereafter, Zhang Jiuling was transferred to the Ministry of Officials. Zhang Jiuling is now Wailang, a meritorious examiner in charge of officials, and he accompanied him this time.When he arrived in Bianzhou, he learned that his teacher had also arrived, so he went to visit his post that night. The two talked for a while, and Zhang said with a smile: "You are now a merit tester, Wailang, and all the officials in the world must be judged by you. Then when the officials in the world see you, they will be more obedient if they are afraid that they will not be enough. Yao Chong is still a man of knowledge. , he himself is not clean, but he can choose you to take this position. Well, you have a good reputation, even though you are a teacher in Xiangzhou, I often hear praises for your good reputation of fair evaluation." "Students should keep in mind the teaching of respecting teachers, and dare not be arrogant." "Well, in fact, you are in this position, after all, it is an errand that offends others. Now the Holy Majesty wants to act according to the Zhenguan story, but most officials can behave according to the imperial court strategy. You treat people fairly and fairly, and there will be no hindrance to them. However, there are always some Officials have bad morals and poor talents, and they definitely hope that you can cover up one or two things for them, but if you don’t know how to adapt, you will eventually offend them. Although these people are afraid to speak out on the surface, they are secretly gnashing their teeth.” Zhang Jiuling thanked: "The teacher reminded me so earnestly, students must be careful in the future. However, human nature is hard to change, and students always think about the imperial court's regulations when they encounter problems, and they will not change." Zhang Shuo shook his head and sighed, "As a teacher, I know that you are hard to change after all, and that is something you can't do." He changed his mind a little bit, and then smiled, "Actually, why do you need to change? Your personality probably suits Song Jing very well. You two are a perfect match if you act similarly, haha, it’s also very interesting.” "The words of the respected teacher are very true. The Prime Minister of Song Dynasty has not been in power for a long time, and his straightforwardness is comparable to that of Wei Zheng. He either directly remonstrated the mistakes of the Holy Majesty in the court, or spoke harshly about the faults of hundreds of bureaucrats in the government. The Prime Minister of Song Dynasty is upright and fair. , the students are absolutely inferior." "Hmph, if Song Jing keeps going on like this, how can he last long?" "The teacher may not know that the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty advised the country's father to repair the tomb beyond the regulations. The Holy One was not angry but happy, and gave four hundred pieces of silk to show his deeds." "How do I not know? This matter is published in the form of an imperial edict, and the world knows it. Jiu Ling, people's temperament is the most flattering, and Emperor Taizong's sage can't escape the vulgar. He removed Wei Zheng's tombstone at the beginning, that is, to vent his anger." Angry. Although Emperor Taizong restored Wei Zheng's stele later, his mental journey has been fully revealed. Today's sage wants to restore the country, of course he can bear it, but if it takes longer, he will not know." When Zhang Shuo said this, he suddenly felt vigilant in his heart, and said: "We can talk about it between teachers and students in a secret room, but when we go outside, don't say a word like this! Although the Holy One does not allow cruel officials to behave Feng, although the human mind is the most unpredictable, someone is the best at extracting your few words to make a name for yourself, this must be guarded against.” This is the teacher's kind reminder, and Zhang Jiuling certainly listens to this instruction. Wang Maozhong strongly recommended Zhang Shuo as the military governor of Bingzhou Governor Shi and Zhitian Bingjun, which was exactly what Li Longji wanted.After Li Longji discussed this with Song Jing, Song Jing had no ill feeling towards Zhang Shuo, and felt that if Zhang Shuo took up this position, his talents and talents were more than enough, so he agreed with it.Li Longji signed the book, and Zhang Shuo was awarded a new post before he left Bianzhou. Zhang said that he was overjoyed when he was appointed. Ordinarily, this post has the same rank as the governor of Xiangzhou, so he shouldn't be so happy. However, Zhang said that he knows the mystery of it, and that Bingzhou is the place where the Tang Dynasty prospered, and its status is of course much more important than that of Xiangzhou. , and Bingzhou was the Pingfan in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. He went here to take charge of both the political affairs of Bingzhou and the military affairs as the Heavenly Army Jiedushi. This move shows that the emperor has changed his view of himself.If I take this as a basis, as long as I grasp it well, my official career will become brighter. It was night, and Zhang Yue took advantage of the moonlight to go to the post where Wang Maozhong lived alone.Wang Maozhong is not what he used to be today. There are military guards at the front and back of his post, and he can only enter after he has passed the report. Zhang said that he was allowed to enter. When he saw Wang Maozhong, he immediately made a strange move.He put his knees on the ground, gently put the wooden box in his hands aside, then put his hands on the ground, and his tone reached Wang Maozhong's boots, he couldn't afford to kneel for such a long time. Wang Maozhong has not yet received such a big gift, let alone Zhang said that he is older than himself and is the leader of Wenzong who is well-known all over the world, so he was stunned for a while.When he came to his senses, he stretched out his hand to support Zhang and said repeatedly: "Mr. Zhang please come up, how can Wang Maozhong He De, how can he accept this great gift?" Zhang Shuo stood up and said, "Why is General Wang so modest? Zhang Shuo was in such a predicament. If General Wang had not rescued Zhang Shuo, how would he be today?" He handed the wooden box to Wang Maozhong and said, "I heard that General Wang I just got another daughter, it's a mere gift, please accept it." Wang Maozhong knew that there must be gold beads in the box, so he didn't shirk, stretched out his hand to take it, and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang gave you a great gift, and Wang Maozhong can only thank you very much." The two returned to their seats, Zhang said that his tongue was as bright as a flower, and he continued to thank Wang Maozhong for his help. Wang Maozhong sighed: "The Holy Majesty heard Yao Chongzhi's words at the beginning, and thought that Mr. Wang was a conspiracy man. Alas, it is really not easy to make the Holy Majesty change his original intention. You know, the Holy Majesty is very wise. If I say something If you talk too much, you will show your traces, and things will not be beautiful, and the time will be delayed a little longer." Zhang said how smart?Listening to Wang Maozhong's voice, he knew that he was still showing off his achievements.The more difficult things are, the more credit he has made, so he repeatedly claimed yes. Wang Maozhong then smiled and said: "Actually, Mr. Zhang is quite good at being a man. The inscription you wrote for the head of the country is very good. The queen also said good things about you in front of me several times, and the sage also appreciated it. In addition, Yao Chong resigned. If people think about Mr. again, things will follow the trend." Zhang Shuo cupped his hands and thanked him: "In short, Zhang Shuo is deeply grateful for the kindness of General Wang. There will be a long time to come, and everything will depend on General Wang's support and grace." Wang Maozhong waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be too modest. You are in charge of Bingzhou this time, and you also know military affairs. Your status is not the same as in the past. You will have a chance to meet the Holy One. Mr. Zhang, the world is so big, as long as you If you can win the favor of the Holy One, what else can you worry about?" "General Wang's words are very kind. Zhang said that in the future, whenever he has the opportunity to enter Beijing, he can not only face the saint, but also meet General Wang." "I forgot, you used to be the teacher of the sage, and you have more friendship than us. Haha, Mr. Zhang, if you take care of yourself, you will surely be able to flourish." "Zhang said he didn't dare. From now on, he will rely on the support of General Wang to be the best way." Zhang said that when he saw Wang Maozhong today, his words and deeds were so nasty.If Zhang Jiuling sees his respected teacher like this, he doesn't know how he would feel. After that, Zhang said that Bingzhou was going to take office, and the emperor's chariots also began to return west to Beijing.At that time, the sun was getting warmer, and the fields and mountains along the way were green, and the flowers bloomed one after another. The scenery was so beautiful that the whole group was pleasing to the eye.
