There is a flower bed in each of the two spacious courtyards. Wu Feng stood in front of the large oval flower bed, surrounded by greenery and the refreshing fragrance of chrysanthemums. The late autumn evening has become slightly cooler, and the outer courtyard paved with bluestones looks particularly neat and refreshing. The slightly sunken stone slabs under the dripping eaves show that this courtyard has quite a history. Although it has been painted, the traces of old vermilion paint, finely carved pear wood window lattice, and other details such as wooden railings and gates undoubtedly indicate that the original owner of this courtyard had some background.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Wu Feng did not turn around. No matter who was able to enter the hospital at this time, he knew who it was. Situ Yutang was still receiving guests, and the only one who could enter the hospital was Wang Liao, who had come to Beijing with him.
"Your Majesty, haven't you rest yet?" Wang Liao has been in a semi-excited state to be able to accompany Wu Feng to Beijing. After all, this is Wu Feng's main accompanying official to Beijing. This not only allows Wang Liao, who has been in a state of despair, to Feeling proud is also a rare opportunity for him to show off his talent in front of Wu Feng.
"Well, it's been a long day. Brother Wang Liao is a scholar, so don't you feel tired?" Wu Feng took a deep breath of the fragrant fresh air, then turned around and said.
"Your Excellency, you underestimate Wang Liao. Although Wang Liao is a scholar, he has traveled alone to many famous mountains and rivers before joining your Majesty. During this time, he had to work hard on his body and body. Such journeys are all Riding in a carriage is nothing." Wang Liao replied.
"Oh? Brother Wang Liao seems to be a person who likes to travel. I wonder which places Brother Wang has visited before, and which places make Brother Wang feel more nostalgic?" Wu Feng was also aroused, and he was also interested. As a person who likes to travel, he even traveled all over the Central and Western Continent in his youth. It would be better if he could have people who share the same interests, and he could also chat and resolve matters after busy work.
"Naturally, my subordinates cannot compare with you. I heard that you traveled to the Western Continent to study when you were young. Such independent behavior is really rare among the children of the imperial gentry. My subordinates are also studying, sometimes together with their classmates. Sometimes I travel alone, but mostly within the empire." Wang Liao did not dare to show off in front of his boss. He had long heard that his boss had a complicated experience and traveled alone to the Central and Western Continent at the age of fourteen or fifteen. He is still studying part-time at the world-famous Heidelberg University in the Western Continent. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a huge risk for the traditionally conservative Tanghe gentry. It is difficult to be accepted by mainstream society. Wang Liao also has to admire his superiors. courage and courage.
"Hey, although I have traveled to the central and western continents and seen many places, I have not been to many places in the interior of the empire. I have never been to the south of the Yangtze River, the Five Lakes, the East China Sea, and the Northland. This is also one of my It’s a big pity, if I had the chance, I’d better appreciate it.” Wu Feng showed a look of regret on his face, smacked his lips, and sighed.
"My lord, you don't have to be like this. Since even the lords of the Central and Western Continent have already been there, how can there be no chance for this mere empire? As long as the time is right, people everywhere will burn incense and bathe, covering the ground with loess, waiting for your presence." Wang Liao. Although he has a somewhat stubborn temper, he is not ignorant of current affairs, and his words are also rich in meaning.
Wu Feng could naturally hear the other party's meaning, but he didn't point it out. He just said lightly: "If there are a lot of people wearing bright clothes and angry horses, making a big show, then it will lose the taste of traveling. It will be too boring, and you will still be single or three. Only by working together can we truly appreciate the artistic conception of travel.”
Wang Liao's face heats up, and he really agrees with his boss's opinion. If he travels like he said, he will really lose his interest in traveling.
"I heard that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, with outstanding people, beautiful mountains and rivers, and the aura of an empire. I wonder what famous mountains and scenic spots are worth admiring?" Wu Feng asked casually when the other party nodded silently.
"Sir, these rumors are not enough to describe the beauty and beauty of Jiangnan. On the contrary, the two words of Bai Daguan and Wei Daguan can prove it." Wang Liao nodded enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Jiangnan is good, the scenery is great. We know each other well in the past. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. How can we not remember Jiangnan? When recalling Jiangnan, the most memorable thing is Hangzhou. Looking for osmanthus seeds in the moon in the mountain temple, watching the tide on the pillow in the county pavilion. When will we revisit Jiangnan? Recall, secondly, recall Wu Palace. A cup of Wu wine with spring bamboo leaves, Wu children dancing with drunken hibiscus. Will we meet again sooner or later?"
The three lyrical lyrics, sung in the mouth of the seemingly rigid Wang Liao, have a hint of vicissitudes of life, and the melancholy look in his eyes proves that this talented man from Jiangdong has also been reminded of the past when he traveled in the past.
"Okay, the lyrics are good, and Brother Wang sings well. Is this "Recalling Jiangnan" by Bai Daguanren? It is indeed the best song in the world. If you have the chance, you must go and see the scenic spots of Lingyin and Chaotou Nongshui in Yuhang. "I have heard the name of the Guanwa Palace in Suzhou for a long time. The beauties of Suzhou and Hangzhou are the most beautiful in the world. No man should not miss it." Wu Feng clapped his hands and laughed, looking extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, I am laughing. Bai Daguanren's "Reminiscences of Jiangnan" is good, but it is not the last song. Wei Daguanren's "Bodhisattva Man" is the most subtle depiction of Jiangnan." Maybe it was because of the excessive drinking at the evening banquet. After chatting for a while, the boss started talking again, and he seemed a little excited, "Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only like Jiangnan. The spring water is blue in the sky, and the boat is sleeping while listening to the rain. The people beside me are like the moon, and the bright wrists are covered with frost. Snow. Don’t return to your hometown before you are old. Returning to your hometown requires breaking your heart.”
"Sure enough, it's a wonderful secret that people around you are like the moon, and their bright wrists are covered with frost and snow. Where can I find such a beautiful woman?" Wu Feng laughed heartily again, raised his head and chest, patted the other party's shoulder and said, " If there is a chance, I would like to ask Brother Wang to be my guide and have a great time traveling south of the Yangtze River!"
"I have my wish, but I don't dare to fall in love." Wang Liao also bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "There are seven mansions in the south of the Yangtze River, and each of them has wonderful scenery. The West Lake, Lingyin, and Guanchao in Yuhang, the gardens in Gusu, and Tiger Hill , the Twenty-Four Bridges and Slender West Lake in Weiyang, Wuyi and Yandang in Quanzhou, and Taihu Lake in Huzhou are the best places among them. If you want to visit one place after another, you will not be able to enjoy it in a year and a half. Overseas The scenic spot of Putuo is also a holy summer resort for the royal family. I have only heard of its name for a long time but have never seen it. If I have the opportunity to follow you, I can fulfill my long-cherished wish."
"Well, what Brother Wang said really aroused my interest in traveling. Why don't you and I visit the scenic spots and historic sites in Hanzhongfu City tomorrow? I heard that the Big and Small Wild Goose Pagodas are also full of ancient charm, and the Imperial Concubine Spring in Huaqing Pool is also full of ancient charm. He is also famous all over the world, so he must swim." Wu Feng nodded with a smile, and ignored Wang Liao's troubled expression and said directly: "That's it, we have a day's rest tomorrow, and the owner will disembark the day after tomorrow."
Seeing Wang Liao's sullen expression, Wu Feng comforted him and said, "Don't worry, it won't be a delay. It's just a day's rest. The journey from Qingyang to Hanzhong is tiring, so a break is necessary. Besides, maybe tomorrow, Your Highness the Princess There are still guests to meet, so there will be more time.”
When Wang Liao heard this, his heart moved, "Sir, why don't you and Your Highness the Princess meet these gentry and merchants?"
"Haha, this is the territory directly under the empire, not my control area. It is right for Her Royal Highness the Princess to receive them, but it would be inappropriate for me to learn from them. Besides, it seems that the city guard is not willing for me to meet these gentry. Here." A smile flashed across Wu Feng's lips.
"Hmph, you are a fool who can change the flag of Hanzhong City immediately with a single order from your Excellency. He would have such a ridiculous idea." Wang Liao snorted coldly, "However, Sir, this trip to Beijing may be very risky. Da, I have been thinking over and over again along the way, and I still think it would be best if you could change your mind and not go to the imperial capital. Especially after His Majesty the Emperor's funeral, I am afraid that the conflict will intensify soon. When it comes to the issue of the throne, no one will Even if you are unwilling to express your position clearly, if someone thinks that there is little chance of your support, they will attack you desperately. By then, with the hundreds of guards around us, we can I’m afraid it will be difficult to resist.”
Seeing that the other party was still trying to admonish him at this time, Wu Feng was a little unhappy, but he also knew that the other party's concerns were not unfounded, "Brother Wang, this means that the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. If I don't go, there will be too many disadvantages, and it will be detrimental to the northwest." It is particularly unfavorable, not to mention that places with high risks mean that the competition for interests is fiercest. If we can use it wisely, we may be able to win more benefits for us. The overall situation of the Imperial City is actually controlled by the Guards Corps. I think at present Ma Yuanwang seems to have not made up his mind yet, and it may be difficult to see the outcome until the last moment. I think I can avoid it as long as I leave in advance before the clouds clear and the fog clears."
With a long sigh, Wang Liao stopped talking. He knew that he could no longer persuade his superiors at this time. He was just doing his last personnel job. This was also entrusted by Xiao Tang and Su Qin. In fact, everyone knew it. , this boss is usually approachable, but once he decides something, even nine cows can't take it back. Fortunately, he also vaguely knew that his boss's security force was not just the three or four hundred people at present. As early as when Wu Feng decided to go to Beijing, many agencies were already in operation, especially the security department, which was fully mobilized. Many people went to Beijing first. He even vaguely knew from Xiao Tang and Su Qin that there were chess pieces arranged by his superiors in the imperial army in the imperial capital. However, although he could know many things, he could not deliberately inquire about them, otherwise the security department would inevitably He will not come to ask for details, and he will not know things that he is not supposed to know. This is the rule of being an official, and Wang Liao has no intention of destroying this.
