[Comprehensive] Number of Merry

Wang Lang also knew that he was venting his anger.

The reason why Xiao Wang was able to hide it from her, dared to hide it from her, and the reason why his brother agreed with Xiao Wang's decision, was because she was not strong enough to make people feel at ease.

But Xiao Wang did a really stupid job in this matter, and she didn't intend to apologize.

After habitually reflecting on the gains and losses of his actions, Wang Lang pursed his lips and started a new day's work arrangement.

Just as Guan Zhong, who did not properly arrange a successor, died, and the people of Qi State missed him even more. Wang Lang, who had been stationed in Yizhou for three years and practiced good governance, received more support after returning to Yizhou.As Jiang Shang expected, Wang Yunzhi, who traveled between Yizhou and Yongzhou under the guise of doing business, helped a lot. With years of accumulated military and political experience and almost innate keen intuition, he was able to grasp all the troubles in several key positions.

Wang Lang considered whether to further smooth out the traces of the false identity for her elder brother, but according to Jiang Shang's suggestion, she and her elder brother made up a bizarre story similar to Lan Keshan, which Jin people like, and reported it to the court to restore Wang Yunzhi's original identity. identity.

Because Wang Yunzhi was originally the governor of Jiangzhou, from the second rank to the general of the guard, his rank was higher than that of the third prince. Once his status was restored, it would be difficult for the court to make up his mind about Wang Yunzhi's new official position, and Wang Lang definitely wanted to keep his elder brother in Yizhou.So he made a statement in the memorial, requesting that the position of governor of Yizhou be transferred to his elder brother, while he still led the governor of Yongzhou and supervised the military forces in Yizhou and Yongzhou.

The DPRK and the Central Committee were already quite uneasy about rejecting He Chong's proposal and changing Wang Lang from Jingzhou, which has a vast territory and a strong army, to Yizhou, a remote and dangerous place, to serve as governor. Meet Wang Lang's request.

Anyway, Wang Lang gave his elder brother the power in his hands, and it didn't affect the changes in the court, which is really what he wished for.Sima Yu, the Kuaiji king who was in charge of assisting the government, simply swiped his pen and gave Wang Lang the military governors of Qinzhou and Liangzhou in addition to Yizhou and Yongzhou, and he also added Yubao to promote him to show his favor.

For the Eastern Jin Dynasty, whether it was Yongzhou, Qinzhou, or Liangzhou, they either belonged to Qianliang or Houzhao. Anyway, they were not within the control of the Jin Dynasty, and it would not feel bad to give them away.

For Wang Lang, it was righteousness at hand, and he could justifiably take over the Guanlong and Xiliang areas after sending troops.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

While Wang Lang handled Yizhou affairs with his brother in peace of mind, he prepared his troops and waited for the opportunity.

The previous year, former Liang Zhang Jun, the self-appointed governor and general who acted as the acting king of Liang, died of illness. He had reigned for 22 years and was 40 years old. The 16-year-old eldest son Zhang Chonghua succeeded Zhang Jun.

After Zhang Chonghua succeeded to the throne, he ordered tax reduction and exemption, removed customs duties, opened gardens, helped the poor, and sent envoys to deliver seals to tie stone tigers.But how could Shihu miss this golden opportunity?Immediately ordered to invade Liangzhou, and soon captured Jincheng, the barrier of Hexi, and took advantage of the fire to loot quickly and powerfully.

In the face of adversity, Zhang Chonghua followed the advice of Liangzhou Sima, appointed Lord Bo Xieai as the backbone general, and led [-] cavalry to fight.Xie Ai lived up to expectations, smashed Zhao Maqiu, and beheaded five thousand people.In April of the following year, Shi Hu ordered Ma Qiu and Shi Ning to march west again, besieging the strategically important area of ​​Qianliang, Fanghan.Zhang Chonghua appointed Xie Ai as the general of the army, and led [-] cavalry to attack the Zhao army, advancing to the bank of the Yellow River.

Zhang Chonghua's ability is mediocre, but Xie Ai appointed is really a military genius.

Ma Qiu of Shi Zhao's army led [-] troops to meet Xie Ai. The two armies lined up and were evenly matched.Xie Ai was not in a hurry, he rode in a chariot in front of the army, wore a white scarf, and marched with drums beating.Ma Qiu was furious: "Xie Ai is just a young scholar. When the two armies are fighting, they don't wear military uniforms, but Confucian uniforms. They despise me so much!" Army positions.

Seeing the panic in the former Liang army, the generals also persuaded Xie Ai to fight on horseback.Xie Ai got out of the car and sat on the bed to deploy the army, commanded the battle, and sent the army to outflank along the river, attacking back and forth, and defeated the Zhao army.The Zhao army retreated, Xie Ai took advantage of the victory to pursue, beheaded Zhao army generals Du Xun and Ji Yu, and captured 3000 people. Ma Qiu fled back to Daxia alone.After this battle, Zhang Chonghua named Xie Ai the Zuo Changshi of Taiwei's Mansion, and made him a Marquis, with [-] households in the city and [-] pieces of silk as a reward.

In May, Ma Qiu gathered another 12 troops in Fanghan in an attempt to counterattack again.Zhang Chonghua decided to conscript himself, but was dissuaded by Zuo Changshi Xieai and Bie Jiaeng Suoya.Therefore, Xie Ai was appointed as the envoy, the commander, the governor to conquer the military, the general of the guard, and led [-] troops to go out of the city to resist the enemy.Xie Ai defeated the Zhao army again. On the way, he attacked the rebellious Siguzhen tribe, beheaded more than a thousand people, captured more than [-] cattle and sheep, and returned with a big victory.In order to celebrate the victory, Xie Ai also submitted a form to the Eastern Jin court, expressing his desire to "sweep away the demon atmosphere and clear up the heterogeneous".

Since ancient times, the master of high meritorious deeds has been shaken, especially when the monarch himself lacks ability and self-confidence.

Xie Ai defeated many with less three times, forcing Shihu to give up the idea of ​​​​destroying Qianliang. He can be called the pillar of the country and the mainstay.Liang Wang Zhang Chonghua changed his mind at this time, and under the slander and slander of his favorite officials, he released Xie Ai as the prefect of Jiuquan.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Lang immediately knew that the time had come for him to send troops.

Although Shi Hu of Zhao State was also seriously ill, it might be better when Zhao Guo was in chaos when Shi Hu died, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to subdue Xie Ai.

Xie Ai was born as a Confucian scholar. After winning the victory, he did not forget to give a table to the Eastern Jin regime in Jiangzuo. The chances of being persuaded to surrender are very high.

Wang Lang had already collected a lot of information about Xie Ai through Wang Yunzhi's secret arrangement in Qianliang. Last time, Xie Ai's confidant, who used Yizhou to send a congratulatory form to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was persuaded by Wang Lang's favor and emotion. The purpose of sending troops this time is not so much to attack the post-Zhao regime who invaded the Central Plains, but rather to get Xie Ai, who is both civil and military, and understands military strategy.

On the sixth day of April, Wang Lang imitated the technique used by Congbo Wangdao, claiming in the memorial that the territory was intruded and that troops must be sent to resist and attack the enemy's arrogance.At the same time, under the name of "rejuvenating the Jin Dynasty and regaining Chang'an", she launched a conquest of the Guanlong area where the former Liang occupied a small part and the later Zhao occupied a large part.

Shihu is tyrannical, Zhang Chonghua has no government, and the Han people in the north are nostalgic for the time when the Jin Dynasty ruled.

Under Jiang Shang's planning and planning, with his elder brother Wang Yunzhi sitting in the rear, Wang Lang, who led the army to the north by himself, won every victory, and the front line advanced rapidly until he basically took down the inherent Guanzhong land of the former Qin State, and Wang Lang became famous.

She was originally the governor officially appointed by the Jiangzuo regime, which symbolizes Zhengzuo. The clan she relied on behind her was the first clan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. She had a solid foundation in Jiankang, the capital, and naturally possessed a huge advantage that the separatist and self-appointed princes in the North could not match—orthodoxy .

And since the use of troops, the Xifu army under Wang Lang's command has always been known for its strict military discipline and strict military appearance.In the battle with the Hou Zhao army stationed in Guanzhong, Wang Lang not only repeatedly sent out surprise troops to attack the enemy unprepared, but also fought a head-on siege battle head-on, successfully maintaining his "invincible" myth.

In addition, when Wang Lang served as the governor of Jiangzhou, Yizhou, and Jingzhou, he had outstanding achievements and high prestige. Obviously, he was not a general who could only lead troops in battle, but someone like Cao Cao and Sima Yi who were able to set up overlords and stabilize the side. figure.

What the Han people in the north have been looking forward to for a long time after they have been reduced to evil spirits is a strong iron man like Wang Lang.

Therefore, after Wang Lang took Chang'an with his tricks, the rest of the Guanzhong cities surrendered in anticipation, and the Han people who were restrained by the Hu nationality spontaneously organized resistance, killed the generals loyal to Later Zhao, and opened the city gates to serve Wang Lang.

A Guanzhong scholar described it in "Chang'an Fu":

"Enlighten the morning light in the accumulated darkness, clarify the hundreds of streams with one source" (bring morning light to the long night, use one source to clarify the hundreds of streams),

"The people look forward to her, just like looking forward to Yunni in a severe drought" (the people look forward to her, just like looking forward to spring water in a severe drought),

It can probably explain the situation at that time.

And after Wang Lang issued the order to "resist the chaotic Shizhao Empire with the help of Weihan and natural dangers, but not reject the Han people who defected from the Central Plains", a young man with a weak crown lived in seclusion in Huashan, waiting for the changes in the situation. I also came to Chang'an and knocked on the gate of the General's Mansion in the dark:

"I have a plan for the general to persuade Xie Jiuquan to submit."

Wang Lang was already asleep at the time, but was overwhelmed by the words handed over by the attendant.

Xie Ai is the prefect of Jiuquan, and people call him Xie Jiuquan.Everyone in Guanzhong guessed that she was waiting for Zhao Nei to be an oriole. Only this young man guessed that she was going to Liangzhou.

She casually pulled a cloak and draped it over her shoulders, strode to the door, personally invited the guests into the main hall to receive them, held a candle to talk all night, and appointed the young man as her governor the next day.

One afternoon two months later, Wang Lang suddenly recalled that she had seen this young man's name before——

Wang Meng, Wang Meng, isn't that the name of the former Qin prime minister who was known as "Gongge No. 1" and assisted Fu Jian in unifying the north?If she hadn't always called him Jinglue according to the ancient habit, and rarely used his name, she would have remembered it a long time ago!

Staring at the Chinese book in his hand for a while, Wang Lang shook his head.

Although it was hard to remember a little bit of history, it only proved that her previous judgment of Wang Meng's superior intelligence and potential was correct, and there was no actual benefit at all, which shows that she is indeed not destined to take shortcuts.

However, there is Xiao Wang, who can't produce one person in 1000 years, who is not enough to say that there are not enough national scholars, and the historical trajectory has long been disrupted. What's the use even if she graduated from the history department?After all, dealing with people depends on IQ and EQ, not knowledge theory, and she should have been content with her small hopes.

Wang Lang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to think about government affairs.

She used to rely on the dangers of Bashu and the difficulty of getting news. The plan to regain Guanzhong was carried out under the guise of "defending against incoming enemies". Now Guanzhong and Bashu are under her control, and the matter of Liangzhou's use of space is Xiaowangbu's According to the line received by Wang Meng, the results should be seen within three to five months. The most urgent task at the moment is how to deal with the relationship with the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

First of all, since the great victory has been achieved, it is absolutely necessary to ask the court for meritorious service for the lieutenant officers and soldiers. She has selected all the candidates for the envoy to Jiankang. The celebrity of the Pi.

Kong Wang was her vassal recruited from Kuaiji before she left Yangzhou. She fought all the way from Yizhou to Guanzhong. Kong Wang was always with the army and helped her with official affairs. It is very suitable to be able to speak well.The deputy envoy represented the interests of the scholars in Guanzhong, and also showed the vigor and vigor of the customs of Guanzhong to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

However, the crux of the problem is that the current group of people in power in the Jin Dynasty are too unreliable.The content and tone of her statement must be carefully considered, and the attitude of the two envoys must also be set by her, so as not to get any weird edict after going to Jiankang, which will cause her trouble in vain.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Wang Lang rejected his subordinate's proposal to be crowned king for her in his heart, and decided that this mission would mainly focus on probing, and secondly prevent the court from meddling in the hearts of Guanlong, Ba, and Shu.Anyway, Liangzhou will be wiped out by her within a year. At that time, we will see what the two envoys who have returned from their missions say, and then decide on the attitude of the second batch of envoys to Jiankang.

◇

During the Yonghe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the servant He Chong passed away, and the situation between the court and China became more complicated and chaotic.

In the central government, Sima Yu, the general of Fujun and King of Kuaiji, who took over He Chong's power and came to govern at Shangshutai, resigned from office and lived in seclusion for nearly ten years. The well-known Chenjun Yin Hao was promoted by Sima Yu as his assistant and served in the court.

Locally, the governor of Yuzhou and the governor of the six counties of Yangzhou were Xie Shang of the Xie family in Chenjun, who guarded Liyang; the father of the Empress Dowager Chu was the general who conquered the North, and the governor of Xu, Qing, Yan, and Jinling in Yangzhou The military forces of the state of Wu, the governors of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, guarded Jingkou, and defended the capital Jiankang from the east to the west.Wang Xizhi was assigned General Youjun and Internal History of Kuaiji, and Xun Xian was General Jianwei and Internal History of Wu.

And it was Huan Wen of the Longkang Huan clan who took over Yu Yi's post as governor of Jingzhou.

Among the Nandu gentry, the Longkanghuan clan was far less prestigious than the Langya Wang clan, the Yingchuan Yu clan, and the Chenjun Xie clan.After Yu Yi's death, various families competed for Jingzhou, the most important feudal town of the Jin Dynasty. Out of balance of power, the court transferred Huan Wen, who was far from a wealthy family, and married his wife, the eldest princess of Nankang, to the Jingzhou area to meet the temporary urgent.Unexpectedly, Huan Wen quickly gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and within a few years he grew into a force that should not be underestimated by the ruling and opposition parties.

The Kuaiji King Sima Yu, who was in charge of the government, cited Yin Hao as his confidant, to a certain extent, to guard against this fast-growing Jingzhou governor who was not the same as Wang, Yu, Yuan, Xie and other powerful children.

In addition, according to Jin people's habit of admiring hermits more than officials, after the famous Yin Hao became an official, he lived in seclusion in Shangyu, Kuaiji, and made friends with Wang Xizhi, Sun Chuo, Xu Xun and others every day. Xie An of Shui became more and more famous, gradually replacing Yin Hao and becoming the number one celebrity in Jiangzuo.

In the fourth year of Yonghe, Murong Hao, king of Yan who ruled Liaodong, died of illness, and his son Murong Jun came to the throne.

In the fifth year of Yonghe, Zhao Wang Shihu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. However, within a year, five extremely serious civil strife broke out in Hou Zhao. Emperor Shi Chong refused to accept Shi Zun, but was defeated in the Battle of Pingji, and [-] soldiers were pitted and killed.Temporarily easing the crisis, the Hou Zhao ruled by Shi Zun, who succeeded in ascending the throne, has shown signs of falling apart.

Prior to this, news that Wang Lang sent troops to Guanzhong to initially pacify the Yongzhou area also spread to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Although the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty was in Luoyang, the political significance of Chang'an, which was used as the capital of the Qin State and the Western Han Dynasty, was equally important.Moreover, Yongzhou returned to Wanghua. Once stabilized, the Jin Dynasty would control the territory of Qin and Chu, the most powerful of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. Recovering the Central Plains is not a dream at all.

The only thing that needs to be considered is probably how to treat the great hero who regained Chang'an, the governor of Yongzhou and the chariot general Wang Lang who holds the three prefectures of Yong, Yi, and Qin.

Unlike the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who were full of joy, Sima Yu, the king of Kuaiji who presided over the government, immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the strategy of rewarding.Wang Biaozhi, the highest official in Jiankang, was summoned to enter the palace of Wang Biaozhi of Langya to inquire about Wang's tone.

Wang Biaozhi knew about it earlier than Sima Yu.

After Zhao cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Jiangnan, the news spread slowly, but Wang Yunzhi, who was sitting in Yizhou, could communicate directly with Wang Lang every night. The head of the Wang family living in Jiankang was summoned.

Probably after the negotiation, Wang Biaozhi's plan for Wang Lang was a bit bottomed out, and he was very calm when he entered the palace for an audience.

Actually, for Sima Yu, Yin Hao, Empress Dowager Chu and others, this was a situation they had never experienced before, but for the Wang family, such a situation would not make them feel at a loss.

You know, at the beginning of crossing the river, the folk song circulating in the world was "the king and the horse share the world", and the position of "king" was before the "horse" representing the royal family.When the royal family was at its peak, more than [-]% of the officials in the court were related to the royal family. Political affairs in the court were decided by Wang Dao, and local conquests were all under Wang Dun's management, completely overriding the royal family with absolute power.

Although Wang Lang has successively made great achievements in recovering Yizhou and Yongzhou, the status of the Wang family in the court has slipped a lot compared to when Wang Dao was alive. On the whole, it is still not as good as the situation in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty. Why panic?

From Wang Biao's mouth, I learned that Wang Lang will send envoys to report to the court after he has completely pacified Guanzhong. However, there are stones and Zhaos blocking the way, and it will take several months for the envoys to reach Jiankang. The court still has about a year You can slowly consider how to award the reward, Kuaiji Wang Sima Yu and Queen Mother Chu both heaved a sigh of relief.

In any case, regaining Guanzhong is a good thing. There are so many members of the Wang family in Jiankang, and Guanzhong and Bashu are far away from Jiankang. Thinking about it carefully, things are not as dangerous as previously imagined.

Sima Yu, king of Kuaiji who was appeased, put his mind at ease temporarily, and planned the Northern Expedition with great enthusiasm.

Now that Guanzhong has been captured by Wang Lang, and Shizhao is in serious civil strife, the imperial court should send troops to the north to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat Shizhao and regain the Central Plains.If there is a time gap, and the great contribution to regaining the Central Plains is achieved before Chang'an's tribute, wouldn't the imperial court have the confidence to face Wang Lang who pacified Yongzhou?

After closing the door and discussing with Yin Hao for a while, Sima Yu proposed the Northern Expedition at the court meeting the next day.

Cai Mo, the prime minister who was serving as a servant, Situ, and in charge of assisting the government at the time, was the first to disagree:

"The demise of the Hu people is indeed worth celebrating, but I am more worried about adding worries to the court."

Most people were surprised by his remarks. After asking why, Cai Mo replied:

"Only heroes and sages with superior intelligence can truly solve the dangers of the people. The rest of the people must do what they can. Looking at the current situation, there is no such person. The result must be a waste of money. In the end, I found that I can Short and shallow, unable to achieve the goal, causing the people to be destitute, wise and brave, and this is not a hidden worry for the court?"

But in February of the same year, Empress Dowager Chu’s father, General Chu Po, had ordered General Wang Kan’s Northern Expedition. In June, Wang Jia, the governor of Yangzhou of the Shizhao Empire, surrendered in Shouchun, and Chen Kui, the general of Xizhong Lang, led his troops into Shouchun. This is the first time that the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty set foot on Huaixi, an important military town, since the ancestor lost Shouchun nearly 20 years ago in the Su Jun Rebellion.Stimulated by this, Chu Po, who also served as the governor of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, decided to carry out the Northern Expedition—just in line with the wishes of King Sima Yu of Kuaiji.

In July, the imperial court appointed Chu Po as the governor of the conquest, and also the military forces of Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou to carry out the Northern Expedition.Chu Po led 3 people all the way north to Pengcheng, and thousands of local people surrendered every day.

However, at this time, Shi Zun has temporarily stabilized the interior, and the Shizhao Empire, facing a crisis, is at a time when it is united with the outside world and has a strong cohesion.Shi Zun sent Li Nong, the governor of the Southern Dispute, to lead 3000 cavalry to the south, just in time to meet a [-]-man army under Chu Po's command. The two sides launched a suspenseful battle in Daipi. completely annihilated.

Chu Po had never led an army before, so he had no mental preparations for Shi Zhao's counterattack.

After Daipi's disastrous defeat, he hurriedly withdrew his troops to Guangling County on the south bank of the Huaihe River.Chen Kui, who heard the news, was also like a frightened bird. He quickly burned the grain and grass in Shouchun City, destroyed the city wall, and returned to the original station.

If Huan Wen hadn't acted decisively and decisively sent troops to meet the more than 20 Han people who crossed the river from the north bank of the Yellow River at that time, those innocent people would have been slaughtered by the troops of the Shizhao Empire.

The Northern Expedition, which lasted for two months, ended in such a hasty way.Chu Po wrote a letter to the imperial court, demoted himself as the general who conquered the north, and asked to stay in Guangling.The imperial court failed with partial division, so the commander-in-chief should not be blamed. He was only dismissed from the post of conscripting governor and returned to Jingkou to guard.Chu Po, who returned to Jingkou, felt guilty day and night, fell ill with anxiety and anger, and died of a serious illness at the end of the year.The imperial court appointed Wu Guoshi Xunxian as the governor of Xuzhou to replace Chu Lin in guarding Jingkou.Huan Wen named General Zhengxi with meritorious service, opened the mansion, and continued to guard Jingzhou.

In the third month, envoys sent by Wang Lang arrived in Jiankang.

◇

Kong Wang went to Jiankang via Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiangzhou.

Among them, Wang Yunzhi, governor of Yizhou, was the elder brother of Wang Lang's direct relative. It was no secret that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was close.Before Kong Wang left, Wang Lang specifically told him that when he passed by Yizhou and visited the governor's mansion, he took a dozen carts of things prepared by Wang Yunzhi with him on the road, and only waited for Jiankang to be handed over to the Wang family.

Huan Wen, the governor of Jingzhou, cried blood on his sword when he was young. He killed the son of his father and enemy with his hands and became famous in Jiankang. A real power figure who started with military exploits.Kong Wang passed through Jingzhou, so it was impossible not to pay a visit.

Hearing, seeing, and experiencing it personally, Kong Wang felt that Liu Tun's evaluation of him as "eyes like purple stone edges, must be ugly hair, Sun Zhongmou, King Xuan of Jin and others" was indeed justified.This is a very talented person, but he has a faint heart of disobedience. No wonder King Kuaiji wants to suppress him by virtue of Yin Hao's reputation.

Thinking of this, Kong Wang frowned.

Judging from the fact that Huan Wen was excluded during the last Northern Expedition, King Kuaiji was obviously in a state of being unable to control and fear Huan Wen.The imperial court controlled by such powerful gentry as Wang and Yu turned out to be so chaotic. Compared with Guanzhong and Bashu, which are thriving and thriving with great efforts, it is really unsightly.

Zhu Tong, a famous scholar in Guanzhong who was a deputy envoy, did not think so.

Since entering Yangzhou, Zhu Tong, who has been in the war in the north for a long time, has been amazed by the prosperity and stability of the Zhuzhou counties under the Jin Dynasty.That kind of leisurely, delicate and elegant life has never been seen in the Northland for more than ten years, even in big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang.

He couldn't help expressing emotion to Kong Wang: "Back then, there was a nursery rhyme circulating in the North, praising Prime Minister Wang's achievements in supporting the Yuan Emperor and establishing a political power in the south of the Yangtze River. It said, 'Yongjiashi, the world is in disaster, but Jiangnan is in peace; Yongjiashi, Kyushu is empty. , Yu Wu soil, prosperous and abundant; Yongjiashi, Kyushu is barren, Yu Guangzhou, flat and healthy." Now it seems that the rumors are true. Compared with the desolate and desolate scene in the north, the Jiangnan area is called the paradise on earth. , Meng Huaxu is not an exaggeration, Prime Minister Wang has made great achievements."

His words basically expressed the aspirations of those who traveled from the Central Plains to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.The feeling of being suddenly enveloped by the warm sun and blown by the spring breeze in the severe cold and struggling to survive in winter is really beyond words, and only those who have experienced it can understand.

Kong Wangben was frowning, and felt rather proud when he heard what he said, and replied with a light smile: "The most famous place in the southeast lies in Sanwu. Before the general entered Yizhou, he was the internal historian of Kuaiji. If there is a chance, he will definitely invite Brother Zhu to visit."

Wang Lang used to be called Xiaowang by Jiankang people, but the scholars who made friends with her often called her the word Linlang or Zhengxi. Che Qi refers to her, and Wang Lang's staff like to call her a general.

This time Wang Lang regained Chang'an and pacified Guanzhong. People in Jiankang had many speculations about the imperial court's rewards. Promotion to General Hussars was the most conservative guess. Wang talked a lot.

In fact, it is an iron law that different surnames cannot be crowned kings, but when Jincheng Emperor Yu Bing was in power, he was forced by the situation to seal the Murong family of Xianbei as the King of Yan.

"I remember that Brother Kong is from Kuaiji? Then I will ask Brother Kong." Zhu Tong put down the roller blind on the carriage, and said again: "I heard that Jiang Zuo's famous scholars are the first to recommend Yin and Xie. Yin Yuanyuan is in the court. I might be lucky enough to see it this time. Xie Anshi is in Kuaiji?"

The surrounding guards who heard their conversation all quietly pricked up their ears.

Kong Wang glanced at him, knowing that he was beating around the bush, and what he really wanted to ask was if he could see Xie An.He was originally a Confucian upright person, and he did not suffer from the problem of Jin people's enthusiasm for gossip, so he discussed the matter as it stands:

"Yesterday, the Wang family sent someone to Hou Dao, saying that Xie Anshi brothers are all in Jiankang. If brother Zhu wants to pay a visit, he can submit the post after he has an audience with His Majesty."

Zhu Tong stroked his beard and gave a dry laugh twice: "The general prepared a letter as a gift, and it happened to be sent to Xie's house."

Sending gifts is such a trivial matter that you need a deputy envoy?

Kong Wang twitched the corners of his mouth, disdaining to expose his intention of going to Xie's house to watch.However, the general expressed his desire to know how the two sons and daughters are doing, and he will definitely visit the Xie family's door.

Then again, some of the gifts prepared by the general are invisible in boxes, but two peacocks were shipped from Yizhou all the way to Xie Shang and Xie Renzu, and one was specially chosen, one green and one white. Does it mean...

Sima Xiangru's "Ode to Changmen", Zhong Hui's "Peacock Ode", Han Yuefu's "Peacock Flies Southeast" and other famous works that mentioned peacocks floated in his mind, and Kong Wang couldn't help being distracted.
