"The first way is to find an official to be soft, maybe the official will look at our knowledge and let us have a way of life. The second way, a desperate fight..."
As soon as Pan Su finished speaking, Shi Yuansun yelled, "Being soft, is it useful to use a soft tube? He made it clear that he didn't want to let us go. We were soft and let him kill him?"
"But if we fight to the death, it is very likely that we will follow in the footsteps of the Fu family..."
Someone hesitated and said in a low voice.
Shi Yuansun stared, and said viciously: "How can the Fu family be compared with us? How can the power of the Fu family be able to withstand the court's soldiers and horses? We are different. We can definitely give the court a painful experience by joining forces with several families Lessons.
We fight, even if we lose, we are not wronged.
If we don't fight and surrender to him, we can only be tortured to death by him in endless remorse. "
Everyone looked ugly and was silent.
Shi Yuansun hated the iron failure and shouted: "If we fight, we may not lose. If we win, we can get far more than we thought."
Pan Su said with a sullen face: "How many soldiers and horses can we influence?"
Shi Yuansun thought that Pan Su had been moved by him, and hurriedly said: "It amounts to 200,000 in the open and secretly. If you count the Wang Clan's Guangxin Army, there are 250,000 soldiers and horses."
Pan Su tilted his head and looked at Shi Yuansun, surprised: "You convince Wang De to use it?"
Lu Guo Gong Wang Deyong, nearly fifty years old, was the son of the late Wukang Gong Wang Chao.
Wang Chao was the official of Emperor Taizong's hidden residence and was trusted by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Zhenzong.
Wang Deyong can be regarded as a master of the family. During his official career, although he was not as famous as Cao Wei and Li Jilong, he managed the army well and led the soldiers and horses to many victories, so he was deeply trusted by the Emperor Zhenzong and Zhao Zhen. .
Has always held an important position.
After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Wang Deyong was dispatched to Bozhou, guarding Jingdong East Road and Hebei East Road.
The city of Bianjing has undergone drastic changes several times, and the Song Dynasty has not sent him back to Beijing on several foreign campaigns. It is not because he is unable to stand it, but because both Emperor Zhao Heng and Zhao Zhen believe in him.
Knowing that he is sitting on Jingdong East Road and Hebei East Road, he will surely be sure that there will be no fire in the backyard.
Shi Yuansun said that the Guangxin Army led by Wang Deyong would also fight to the death. Pan Su was naturally surprised.
You know, Wang Deyong and his dad are the proper direct line of Taizong's line, a diehard loyal party of Taizong's line.
How could he be against Zhao Zhen
Shi Yuansun heard what Pan Su said and snorted coldly: "He is going to clean up all of us now, and the Wang family is also in the liquidation. I don't believe that Wang Deyong will be indifferent..."
Pan Su squinted his eyes and stared at Shi Yuansun and said, "So... you didn't send anyone to contact Wang Deyong at all?"
Shi Yuansun said: "I will send someone to contact him when I turn around. I believe he will follow us to fight to the death. With the example of the Gao family before, I don't believe he will be indifferent."
Pan Su held his stomach in his heart, and said to Shi Yuansun: "Then you send someone to contact him as soon as possible. Once Wang Deyong has an answer, you immediately send someone to tell me."
Seeing that Pan Su had a desperate fight, Shi Yuansun immediately agreed: "I will go back to the mansion and send someone to contact Wang Deyong. It's just that Wang De is employed in Bozhou, and it will cost a few dozen to come and go. day.
I'm afraid he won't give us more than ten days. "
Pan Su resolutely said: "I will find a way to help you delay some time."
"What can you do?"
Shi Yuansun couldn't help but question.
Pan Su glanced at Shi Yuansun and said faintly: "Send someone to intercept the caught tongue..."
Shi Yuansun was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt that the method Pan Su said was good, so he believed what Pan Su said.
Immediately, several people stopped talking, and left the Shifu Courtyard.
After Pan Su returned home, he hurried to the study.
Pan Su's father, Pan Chengyu, is reading in the study.
After seeing Pan Su, he said indifferently, "I went to see Shi Yuansun again?"
Pan Su didn't conceal it, but nodded decisively, "Yes, I went to see Shi Yuansun."
Pan Chengyu stared at Pan Su and sighed: "I have already lost once, but are you not willing to give up?"
Pan Su gritted his teeth and said: "The official family wants to take back the riches and honors that my Pan family has won over the past few generations. The child is naturally unwilling.
Pan Chengyu stared at Pan Su and said earnestly: "The officials never said that they would take back our wealth. He just wanted to take back the power in our hands."
Pan Su stubbornly said, "But if we lose power, how can we keep the wealth in our hands?"
Pan Chengyu stared at Pan Su and frowned: "Then have you considered that those powers do not belong to you? If you really do it for power, you should obey the official order and remove yourself from the status of relatives of the emperor, and go to participate. In literary or martial arts, in official careers, standing upright on the court, holding power in your hands in an upright manner.
You have always felt that in your generation, you are the smartest one.
But are you really the smartest one
Let's not talk about the enchanting Kou Ji.
Take Cao Tong and Li Weixian.
Cao Yu is not smarter than you, but he has more foresight.
Kou Ji he came into contact with with you.
You think Kou Ji is just a grandson Kou has recognized, status and status, so he dealt with it clearly, but never went to deep friendship with him.
On the contrary, it was Cao Tong, put down his figure, interacted with Kou Ji, and even surrendered his status, calling Kou Ji his elder brother.
Today, Cao Tong relies on Kou Ji's irradiation, holding the word Jiaozipu in his hand, and is in control of the world's money.
Even if it is the money that is under the control of Shangshu of the Household Department, it is not as much as one ten thousandth in his hands.
Although Cao Tong did not stand in the court, he still had to listen to what he said, even some important officials.
Li Weixian, there is no plan for you.
Nor did he climb Kou Ji.
But he went out of his own way.
When the official family ordered that the heirs of the relatives of the emperor’s relatives can be removed from the emperor’s status and participate in the literary and martial arts as ordinary people and serve the court.
He decisively asked Li Zhaoliang for instructions, and after obtaining Li Zhaoliang's permission, he asked to remove his royal status.
Now preparing for the exam at home, preparing to participate in this year's Qiuwei.
You know his talents better than me.
After the palace test next year, there must be a place in the ranks of Jinshi.
They were the first among us Wuxuns to go through the formal imperial examinations, and they were destined to be remembered by the officials and also by the officials of the Manchu court.
Don't say he is a talented person, he is just a straw bag.
In order to establish a model, officials and civil servants will quickly push him to the top.
A few years later, there will be a place for him in the six departments of the two provinces.
And that Liu Heng who you didn't look at from start to finish.
He is now leading his army all the way, holding a good soldier and a strong general, and he is holding the title of the Duke.
What about you
who are you
With the help of the ancestors, he made up a Renshou master book.
Is the master book an official in Bianjing? "
Pan Chengyu's remarks can be said to be heart-warming.
But Pan Su sounded very harsh.
Pan Chengyu didn't care about Pan Su's expression at all. He stared at Pan Su and continued: "You used to accompany Shi Yuansun to mess around, so I will let you do it. The left and right are just looting one or two Jiaozi shops.
Even if he is caught, he will not necessarily die.
But now that you have lost a game, still want to continue the trouble
If the trouble goes on, you will only have one way to rebel.
You won't die if you plunder the word Jiaozipu, but if you rebel, you will definitely die.
Not only will you die, but our whole family will also be implicated.
Among them is the Pan family, who has blessed our grandparents and grandchildren for decades.
The Pan family owes nothing to our grandparents, but we owe them.
You are not qualified to make trouble with the lives of the Pan family. "
Pan Su's grandfather was not Pan Mei's parent and child.
But Pan Mei's adopted son.
There are divergent opinions on the origin of Pan Su's grandfather.
One of them is that Pan Weiji is a descendant of the Zhou Chai clan.
After Song Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin took the Houjiu Jiangshan, he gave the Chai descendants to Pan Mei to raise him and changed his name to Pan Weiji.
This matter is just a rumor and has not been verified.
However, there are indeed many doubts about Pan Weiji's origin.
After the death of Hou Zhou, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong's four heirs, only Zhou Gongdi, Chai Zongxun, retained the Chai surname even to his death.
The other three heirs should all change their names, dying out of the vast crowd.
Cao Wang, Chai Xirang, was missing, and it was rumored that he changed his surname to Ning.
Ji Wang Chai Xijin, there are rumors that he died in the second year of Gande, and there are also rumors that he is Pan Weiji's adopted son, Pan Weiji.
Qi Wang Chai Xi told him, but he was missing. Rumor has it that he changed his surname to Lu.
But whether Pan Su's grandfather, Pan Weiji, is a descendant of the Chai family, it is a fact that the Pan family has always protected him.
Pan Su took the life of the Pan family at risk, and Pan Chengyu was naturally unhappy.
"Father... If I don't fight it once, I still can't swallow this breath..."
Pan Chengyu snorted coldly, "What are you going to do for it?"
Pan Su said solemnly: "If we all start trouble together, there will be a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses..."
Pan Chengyu sneered and said: "Two hundred and fifty thousand? I don't think there may be two thousand and five. The news that officials and Kou Ji treat the soldiers well has now spread throughout the world.
Every lieutenant general knew that the officials and Kou Ji were very generous to them.
In this case, who will follow you to make chaos
Except for those who are ambitious, as well as the trilogy of the various provinces, no one will follow you.
You can deceive them for a while with lies, and let them temporarily work for you.
But once the official documents are introduced into the army, some officers in the army will immediately turn to each other.
At that time, without waiting for the officials to send troops to suppress you, the soldiers in the army will cut off your heads and dedicate them to the officials. "
Pan Su gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Yuansun said that Wang Deyong can be persuaded to join us. With the Guangxin Army in his hand, Wang Deyong, but the two generations of their father and son spent decades accumulating the elite.
Pan Chengyu was angrily smiled, "Do you believe this?"
Pan Su lowered his head and said nothing.
He didn't believe it.
If he believed it, he would not come to Pan Chengyu's study.
He approached Pan Chengyu just to inquire about this.
Pan Chengyu glared at Pan Su and said, "I can honestly tell you that as long as the people of Taizong's line are sitting on the throne, even if everyone in the world turns upside down, Wang Deyong will not turn upside down.
The wealth of the royal family was bestowed by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xian.
It was also irradiated by Taizong and Xiandi that the Wang family can have today.
Don't say that the official family has investigated and dealt with corruption. Even if the official family takes all the things from the Wang family back, Wang Deyong will not complain about the official family.
In the past, when Wang Deyong served as the commander of Huan and Qing Er Road and played the court, there were some errors. The first emperor condemned him, and he did not even say a word of complaint.
He treated the first emperor even this way, not to mention his treatment of officials.
Wang De is warlike, and what the officials have done over the years is in line with Wang De's intentions.
How could he be unfaithful to the officials? "
The implication is that Zhenzong Zhao Heng who is contrary to Wang Deyong's temperament, Wang Deyong can treat with loyalty.
Zhao Zhen, who is in line with Wang Deyong's temperament, will naturally treat Wang Deyong more faithfully.
La Wangde used to start the incident together, it was purely idiotic dreams.
After Pan Su heard what Pan Chengyu said, he already knew that there was no hope for the incident, but he was still unwilling.
Pan Chengyu seemed to see Pan Su's thoughts, staring at Pan Su, and said solemnly: "You have to remember that if Cao and Li do not move, my Pan family can't move. Among the family, the Cao family is really determined. It can be said to be firmly in the first place.
The official investigation of all corruption cases of military pay this time, the Cao family will inevitably be greatly affected.
If the Cao family didn't move, it means that the matter has not reached the point where the fish died and the net broke.
You jump out now, it's no different from looking for death. "
Pan Su hesitated: "But..."
Pan Chengyu said solemnly: "It's nothing good... You sent someone to looting Yizijiaozipu, but you didn't succeed, but the officials calculated it. That means that everything about you is under the control of the officials.
Maybe... the officials have prepared soldiers and horses and are waiting for you to get up..."
Pan Su was shocked, and said in shock: "Father, how are you..."
Pan Chengyu sighed and said, "You want to ask me, how did I know that you failed to rob Yizijiaozipu? If you succeed, you won't be here, let alone want to take the last step.
Su'er, you have been smart since childhood and learned everything faster than others.
But now you are no longer smart.
You have lost your mind with anger and unwillingness.
It has been judged that the key to the problem is not clear. "
"Father..."
Pan Su hesitated: "Could it be that there is no other way to protect my Pan family?"
Pan Chengyu was taken aback for a while, and after thinking about it again, he said, "Maybe you can meet Kou Ji..."
Pan Su gritted his teeth and said: "I know he can help us, but I'm afraid he won't help us."
Pan Chengyu glanced at Pan Su, "You haven't seen him, how do you know he won't help you?"
Pan Su hesitated: "Let me think about it for three to five days."
Pan Chengyu pondered for a moment and reminded: "Don't be afraid to meet people just because you have robbed Yizijiaozipu. Since you haven't robbed Yizijiaozipu's money, then those money It must still be under the control of the official.
The money in the hands of the officials has not been robbed by you. Even if there is a fire in your heart, it will not be too prosperous. There is still a way to calm it down. "
Pan Su nodded and left Pan Chengyu's study.
Pan Chengyu sighed after Pan Su left.
Among the fourth generation of Pan Mansion, Pan Su is the best.
The fourth generation of Pan's Mansion is based on Pan Su's head.
Over time, Pan Su also became the leader of the fourth generation of Pan Mansion.
Pan Chengyu knew that he was not a direct relative of Pan Mansion, so he was scrupulous in doing things and would not easily interfere with Pan Mansion's affairs.
But Pan Su is different.
After he became the leader of the fourth generation of Pan Mansion, he decisively intervened in Pan Mansion affairs.
Several other boys in Pan's Mansion also listened to him and followed him around.
Even if it was his elder who gave orders in Pan Mansion, there was no such thing as Pan Su.
After Pan Su heard what Pan Chengyu said, he stayed in the house and did not go out.
But the others moved quickly.
Both Shi Yuansun and Pan Su moved their minds on the last path.
But other people didn't have this courage, and were unwilling to gamble on Yifu's life.
Someone begged Cao's house secretly.
Someone also ran into Kou Ji in Ruian Town.
Everyone in Ruian Town knows that Kou Ji likes to eat sesame oil rings. Every morning he goes to Cao Po's shop to eat a bowl of wontons and nibble two sesame oil rings.
Song people like to fry all kinds of food with hemp.
Sesame oil ring is one of them.
It resembles fried dough sticks, but is different from fried dough sticks.
The taste is also different.
But even so, Kou Ji can still taste the taste of fried dough sticks from the sesame oil ring.
Kou Ji could teach Granny Cao to make real fried dough sticks, but he didn't.
Because the sesame oil circle not only reminds him of future generations, but also allows him to recognize the present.
The sesame oil circle can remind him that he is a person from later generations.
The sesame oil circle can also remind him that he is now in the Song Dynasty.
Two flavors, taste together, don't have a bit of flavor.
Kou Ji likes the taste very much, so he frequents Cao Po's shop.
Of course, the people in Ruian Town didn't know that Kou Ji went to visit the Cao Po Po shop because of the sesame oil ring.
They only think that Kou Ji is taking care of Cao's business.
The Song Dynasty was rich in oil, but most people did not dare to lavishly fried noodles with hemp.
Most people only add a drop or two of sesame oil to the bibimbap to enhance the flavor, and they dare not use sesame oil to fry the doughnuts.
Only the wealthy and the dignitaries can fry food with hemp.
Therefore, the price of the food fried in sesame oil will naturally be relatively higher, and most people cannot afford to enjoy it, and they are reluctant to enjoy it.
Therefore, the business in Cao's grandmother's shop is very mediocre.
The common people felt that Kou Ji was going to take care of Cao's business. It was because Cao's only grandson, who was a student of Wenchang Academy before, followed Kou Ji to the northwest and was buried in the northwest.
People followed Kou Ji and died outside. Kou Ji would naturally feel guilty and take care of Cao's grandmother's business.
As usual, Kou Ji entered Granny Cao's shop and found a corner position to sit down.
Not long after sitting down, Granny Cao appeared in front of Kou Ji with a bowl of wonton and two sesame oil rings.
Granny Cao is actually very young, only fifty years old. She was born in a poor family and worked all the year round in order to make a living and to support her grandchildren.
Kou Ji looked at Granny Cao, sighed, and said, "You don't have to worry about food or clothes, so why bother to work in front of you?"
Granny Cao smiled and did not speak.
Turn around and continue to work on her.
Kou Ji said this not once or twice.
At the beginning, Granny Cao also explained to Kou Ji, but in the end, Kou Ji said too much, and Granny Cao didn't bother to explain.
Seeing that Granny Cao ignored him, Kou Ji didn't say much, and continued to eat on her own.
After eating two bites, a person appeared and sat opposite him.
A middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a blue robe.
After the middle-aged man sat down, he greeted Granny Cao and said, "Old lady, give me a bowl of wontons and two oil rings."
Kou Ji took a bite of the oil ring, glanced at the middle-aged man, and said, "Speak politely... Granny Cao is a sixth-grade imperative from the official... Although she is not as good as you, she is still standing behind her." With seven grandsons of Jinshi.
If you don't want to be stared at by her Jinshi grandson in the future, just be polite. "
The middle-aged man looked at Granny Cao in astonishment.
After taking a close look at Granny Cao, he turned his head and said to Kou Ji: "Are you... lying to me?"
Kou Ji curled his lips in disdain, "What is your identity, what identity do I need to lie to you?"
Although Granny Cao didn't have a grandson, she had seven more grandsons.
All of them are the outstanding talents in Wenchang Academy.
Very filial to Cao's mother-in-law.
When Granny Cao's grandson died, she left no last words.
However, his seven classmates did not dislike Cao Po's background, and resolutely replaced Cao Po's grandson and showed her filial piety.
In the future generations, this is a matter of great cure.
It can be placed in ancient times, but it is very commonplace.
The middle-aged man stunned: "Since she has such an identity, why does she still practice low karma here?"
Kou Ji sighed and said, "His grandson likes to eat the oil ring made by her the most."
The middle-aged people are a little confused.
Kou Ji did not explain in detail.
The middle-aged man waited until Granny Cao delivered the oil ring and wontons, respectfully saluted Granny Cao, and then sat at the table upright, without eating or talking, and looked at Kou. Season to eat.
After Kou Ji finished eating his own things, he glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "What can I say?"
The middle-aged man nodded decisively.
Kou Ji asked, "Go to the mansion or talk here?"
The middle-aged man gave a wry smile and said, "Since I have come to see you, it doesn't matter where I say it. Whether it is here or in your house, I can't hide from others' eyes and ears."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to find me first."
The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, "Do you know we will find you?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Now, if you don't find me, who else can you find? Go to the official? There are some things, can you talk to the official?"
The middle-aged man looked bitter.
Kou Ji continued to smile and said, "Speaking of which, I have a grudge against you. If you come to me to save you, you are not afraid that I will take the opportunity to frame you?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, because you are not that kind of person."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
The middle-aged man's surname is Han and his name is Yunsheng.
The son of the late Zuotunwei general Han Chongye.
The grandson of the late Shizhong Han Chongyun.
Han Chongyun was one of the founders of the Northern Song Dynasty, the righteous brother of Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty, and the minister of Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty's imperial residence.
In his later years, someone falsely accused him of taking personal soldiers as his confidant. The Emperor Song Taizu was furious because of this and degraded his officials, and he lost his trust because of this.
After his death, he was posthumously named as a servant.
