[In the future, try to update it during the day. 】
Southeast of Beijing.
More than a dozen military ships are lined up in the shape of 'Jie' and go upstream.
The big boats that serve as arrows at the front are no different from the ones next to them. They are all six-zhang-five [about 21.6 meters] long and a little more than ten feet wide [about 3.5 meters] wide willow boats with square heads and square tails.
The only difference is that the top of the canopy has a three-pole flag in the shape of a glyph, and the golden spikes on the red bottom flutter in the wind, showing endless publicity.
In the center one is written: Huguang recruiting envoys to try Qianhu-Lu.
The same is true for the left and right flags, but the surnames are changed to 'Shen' and 'Han' respectively.
Lu Jianxing came out from the awning of the boat. Before he straightened his spine, he raised his head to look at the three-pole flag, and then looked at his second brother Shen Lian, who was standing behind the bow of the boat.
After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help but leaned up and muttered, "Or should we remove this flag first? The recruiting envoy was fired a month ago, and it's okay to play a pretense in Jinmen Prefecture. Just arrived in the capital…”
Shen Lian was originally looking at the junction of Tianshui and Tianshui, and when he heard his elder brother's remarks, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling. This elder brother of his family was a great general in front of the two armies, but he was too cautious in official circles.
Still not squinting, Shen Lian hooked Lu Jianxing's broad shoulders, patted him hard, raised his chin and asked, "Brother, you said that we are waiting for us, what else is there other than the capital?"
Lu Jianxing was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at him for unknown reasons.
Fortunately, Shen Lian didn't mean to play dumb riddles, and said proudly: "It's about being promoted to an official position, it's about being prosperous and wealthy, it's about sealing a wife and a child..."
Every time I heard him say the last sentence, the light in Lu Jianxing's eyes brightened a bit - his brothers were beaten to death in Huguang, wasn't that what they were doing
"...and Master Sun."
After hearing the words 'Sir Sun', Lu Jianxing suddenly showed a simple and honest smile, nodded and said, "Yes, your lord will definitely come to welcome us to Beijing."
After speaking, he sighed without realizing it: "It's a pity that the imperial court has other arrangements, otherwise, I would like to join the adults in the East Gate and boast, Long Ran..."
"It's not bad to have less fake name and more benefits."
Shen Lian interrupted his sighing, and said sternly: "Brother, although Master Sun is no longer in the army, you and I can't forget the roots..."
"I didn't mean it!"
"Then this flag cannot be withdrawn!"
Shen Lian said, turned around and pointed to the three-pole flag: "After today, it doesn't matter whether this flag is planted or not, but today we have to plant it high - for the sake of It's not to show off, but to let Master Sun know that we still call ourselves his old department!"
After Lu Jianxing finished digesting these words, Shen Lian pressed his throat again and said, "I have inquired about it in Jinmen Mansion, Master Sun is now regarded by the Crown Prince as a minister of humility, and Tongrong State Mansion is a good friend of the family. Bet, how can you lose him in the future?"
"Our brothers are attached to the tail, and sooner or later we will be able to stand out, and then..."
scoff~
At this moment, the sound of sharp blades breaking through the sky suddenly sounded, and the two brothers lowered their bodies in unison, looking around vigilantly, but heard someone at the stern of the boat laughing loudly: "Hit, hit! Quickly row the boat over. , don't be picked up by others!"
But it turned out that it was the Han gang who shot a wild duck from the stern of the boat.
When Lu Jianxing heard the movement, he straightened his back immediately, and walked towards the canopy subconsciously, but after taking two steps, he turned back again and said solemnly: "My lord treats you and I well, it is only right and proper for us to honor him. But where did all these calculations come from?"
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Lian to respond, he strode into the canopy of the boat. After a while, the quarrel between him and the Han Gang came from the stern of the boat.
It wasn't until the quarrel between the two became inaudible that Shen Lian withdrew his gaze towards the stern of the boat, adjusted the armor on his body, and didn't know what to think, a bright smile suddenly burst into the corner of his mouth.
Beijing, I, Shen Lian, are back!
…
Outside the East Bianmen, Xi Keju is on the second floor.
Hearing the sound of Dengdengdeng's stairs, Sun Shaozong first got up to meet him, but then he could tell that there was only one person going upstairs.
Not long after, I saw Wang Zhen come in with a curtain raised, and cupped his hands cursingly: "Sir, the bird chief of the Ministry of War doesn't give us face, saying that he has business affairs, and he doesn't dare to leave his post without permission - this is Pili Yangqiu, It's not a good thing at first glance, do you want me to send a few people to investigate his roots?"
Sun Shaozong pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I won't entertain him - sit down and talk."
Although his current momentum can be said to be in full swing, there are still many noble and arrogant masters in the capital, and it is normal to occasionally hit a soft nail, and it is not enough to enmity with others.
Besides, today is here to welcome the victory of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition. On this happy day, what is more true than the chief of the military department in the same district
Wang Zhen sat next to him, but he twisted and turned on the chair, and he was not doing anything right.
"how?"
Sun Shaozong casually picked up some vegetables, chewed and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"It's not..."
Wang Zhen scratched his head embarrassingly, swept out the corner of his eyes, and confirmed that the dozen or so personal soldiers outside were shouting and drinking orders, and then he asked in a low voice, "I heard that there are some soldiers in the Rongguo Mansion a few days ago. My brother, was actually killed by a maid, I don't know..."
Sun Shaozong gave him a sideways look: "Don't ask about irrelevant things."
Wang Zhen immediately retreated, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, there is no status in the humble position, please forgive me."
Seeing that although he did not dare to ask any more questions, his curiosity did not weaken at all, so Sun Shaozong became serious again: "Although this is not a family matter, but after all, it involves the younger brother of Concubine De, so it's okay for others to spread some gossip, you just got back. Beizhen Fusi takes office, but you can't let people take the blame!"
Only then did Wang Zhen wake up and hurriedly got up and responded respectfully, saying that he would be cautious in his words and deeds in the future.
Sun Shaozong originally didn't want to talk about the Rongguo Mansion, but since he had taught him a lesson, he made such a solemn oath that he didn't trust him enough if he didn't reveal the basics.
So I picked up what I could say and described it briefly.
After Wang Zhen heard it, he was greatly disappointed. After all, the rumors on the streets were far more legendary and fantastical than the case itself.
Not to mention, there are as many as seven or eight versions of P and random X alone.
That is to say, the Jia brothers are not married yet, otherwise the uncle and sister-in-law, uncle and sister-in-law and other lace news, I don't know how much will be derived.
But he said that he was chatting, and then he heard a burst of noise below, followed by the sound of dangdeng stair. This man had not yet reached the second floor, and the shout filled his ears: "Second brother? Second brother! Where are you in the house? !"
Xue Pan
How did he come
Thinking of the white body under him in the past few nights, Sun Shaozong felt a little guilty for no reason, but he took the initiative to get up and went out, and said in surprise, "Why is Brother Xian here?"
"What did the second brother say?"
Xue Pan was all red, and when he saw Sun Shaozong come out from the private room, he immediately said with dissatisfaction: "The heroes who killed the Tartars won and returned to court, how could I, old Xue, miss it?!"
"What Tartars are not Tartars, that's called Wuxi Man."
"It's all the same, anyway, it's not the son of the Han family." Xue Pan didn't care about flicking his sleeves, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, when I was just out of the inner city, I saw a few people shopping. The real Tartar, I heard that he still came to the court to ask for an official."
"Seeking an official from the court?"
Sun Shaozong is a bit baffled. The newly established Post-Jin Kingdom is currently in the process of integrating tribes to achieve centralization. Some of the Jurchen nobles who failed in the power struggle were forced to defect to Dazhou, which is nothing new.
But those people have to wait for the imperial court to award or dispose of them. Is there any reason to take the initiative to come to the capital to seek officials
"Second Master! The official ship is here, the official ship is here!"
Just wondering, Zhang Cheng suddenly shouted downstairs, Sun Shaozong hurriedly took a few steps to grab the window, and saw more than a dozen official ships carrying the banner of Huguang recruiting envoys, riding the wind and waves straight to the pier.
