Nong Zhigao quickly asked: "Is this Zhang Heng very powerful?"

Huang Shimi said bitterly: "How to describe him? Let's put it this way. We were candidates in the same class back then. He was the emperor's favorite son in the clouds, but we two brothers could only stand a few hundred meters away from him.

Looking up at him... We two brothers were dismissed in the palace examination, but he won three prizes in a row!"

Huang Shimi glanced at Huang Wei, and then said: "I have experienced it for two years to this day. In fact, it is only a short seven years. We brothers are still in the wilderness, but he is already the prime minister of the Song Dynasty...

This was still in the Song Dynasty, when geniuses abounded, and he was still able to surpass countless geniuses..."

Nong Zhigao was also speechless: "No wonder, he turns out to be such a god-like figure...Have you ever interacted with him?"

Hearing Nong Zhigao's words, Huang Shimi laughed and said: "It's not that we didn't. We had barbecue in his courtyard back then and thought about the future together..."

Huang Shimi fell into memories, and after a while he said: "...it was just after the exam, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and I don't know what happened that night. Suddenly the students informed each other,

It is said that a student named Zhang Juzheng was doing a program in the courtyard near the Imperial College.

If the listener has a share, there will be wine to drink and meat to eat, and if you are talented, there will be girls to pick up.

As you know, we are all young people, who doesn’t like the excitement, so we ran over to join in the fun..."

Huang Wei immediately picked up: "There were so many people that night. Children of all kinds of high-ranking officials and the second-best picks from the high school were all here, and many of them were involved in the Yameni at that time.

For example, there are now rising political stars in the Song Dynasty court, such as Han Jiang, Han Zhen, Wang Anshi and others, but at that time, the most dazzling one was still Zhang Juzheng.

Haha, Nong Shuai, you may not be able to understand how dazzling he was at that time.

We are all such proud people. After all, those who can go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, who knows the talented people everywhere, are not supported by thousands of people?

But in front of him, we all pale in comparison!

Not only are they inferior in talent, but they are also eclipsed in appearance!"

As soon as Huang Wei paused, Huang Shimi immediately picked up: "Zhang Juzheng has many nicknames, including Zhang Twenty-four and Zhang Sanyuan, but Nong Shuai, do you know what Zhang Heng's most famous nickname is?"

Just as Nong Zhigao was about to shake his head, Huang Wei immediately said loudly: "You look like a person from the Song Dynasty! Hahahaha."

Huang Shimi was also very excited: "Yes, he looks like a person from the Song Dynasty! Haha, he was the most handsome and handsome person in the Song Dynasty. Can you imagine what he looked like?"

Nong Zhigao glanced at the two Huang Wei brothers. Huang Wei immediately shook his head and said: "Don't look at us brothers who are tall, fair in complexion, and have decent facial features. But in front of Zhang Juzheng, we are like this.

Mud in the gutter!”

Nong Zhigao: "..."

Huang Shimi saw Nong Zhigao's expression and immediately smiled and said: "Nong Shuai, it's not that we two brothers are praising him, this is a fact.

But these are nothing. The Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival back then... is really nostalgic."

Huang Wei nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, maybe that was the happiest time in our lives... That night, Zhang Ju and I were beside the bonfire. He was singing a water-melody song, and I was writing to record it.

After he finished singing, I poured the wine and we drank together, arm in arm... When will the bright moon come..."

Huang Wei had just stood up, and Huang Shimi immediately continued: "...ask the wine to the sky. I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid that the high places will be too cold!"

The two brothers laughed loudly, and then sang loudly: "...Dance to figure out the shadow, how it seems to be in the human world.

Turning around the Zhuge Pavilion, looking down at the door, the light is sleepless. There should be no hatred, so why do we have to be reunited when we say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult to do in ancient times. I hope that people will live forever, and we will share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away...

"

The lingering sound made Nong Zhigao feel the charm of the poem at this moment: "This is the poem written by Zhang Heng. It's so good, so good. It's really fairy-like, like banishing an immortal! I really want to read it.

Look what he looks like in person!"

Huang Wei smiled and said: "Nong Shuai, if you have a chance, you can find a painting called "Zhang Heng's Night Banquet". Don't even think about the original painting being in Bianjing, but there are many copies, but you can get a glimpse of Zhang Heng.

Heng's style..."

Huang Shimi chuckled: "I have it here."

Huang Wei was shocked: "How could you do it?"

Huang Shimi chuckled: "I secretly found someone to copy it. Didn't I borrow money from you at that time, just to buy this painting..."

Huang Wei suddenly became furious and said: "You Huang Shimi, you have kept it secret from me for so long! I...I...I'll beat you to death!"

Huang Wei rushed over and beat Huang Shimi. Huang Shimi ran away quickly, leaving Nong Zhigao speechless.

Huang Shimi quickly said: "I'll take it out and show it to everyone!"

Huang Wei then stopped angrily, with a look of expectation on his face.

Sure enough, Huang Shimi took out a tightly packed scroll, pulled out the painting, and unfolded it for Nong Zhigao and Huang Wei to see.

When Huang Wei saw it, he was immediately entranced, and his private matters were already lost in his memories.

Nong Zhigao also took a closer look, and saw that the painting was quite large, and the faces of about ten people in it were painted quite finely, while the rest of the people, although there were many, were mostly just sketched.

Although Nong Zhigao didn't understand painting, he just looked at it and saw the ten or so people who were painted in detail in the center of the painting. Whether they were drinking or talking, their eyes were still

The body was facing the young man who was lying on his back in the center of the picture. The young man only showed half of his face, but this half of his face really amazed Nong Zhigao.

Nong Zhigao was surprised and said: "Is this what it looks like after being beautified by an artist? How can a person look so fairy-like?"

Huang Wei smiled and said: "Although the painter is a very famous top painter in Bianjing, he can only paint half of Zhang Heng's expression. He is much more handsome in person."

Nong Zhigao was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't that just like an immortal?"

The two Huang Wei brothers nodded as if they were Yourong Yan.

But this is just an interlude. The three of them have important matters to discuss, and they can't really waste too much time on such matters.

Although Nong Zhigao was surprised by the amazing figures of the Song Dynasty, his own future was more important after all. After a slight delay, he asked: "Qi Bin said that conquering Guangzhou can make him the king of the south. Is this true?"

Huang Wei and Huang Shimi looked at each other, and then Huang Wei said: "It was not possible before, but it is possible now. After Guangnan East Road was managed by Zhang Heng, it has indeed become a corner of peace.

If Nong Shuai can really win Guangnan East Road, the two regions will be connected. With the current population of one million households on Guangnan East Road, plus enough food to supply two million households, as well as rich mining and massive taxes,

Nong Shuai can go north to block the Song Dynasty, or even go south to conquer Jiaozhi!"

Nong Zhigao trusted Huang Wei. Hearing Huang Wei say this, he was trembling with excitement, but he was still a little afraid of the power of the Song Dynasty. He quickly asked: "Can you really stop the Song Dynasty? There are hundreds of people in the Song Dynasty."

From the Forbidden Army!"

Huang Shimi smiled and said: "The Song Dynasty did have a million-strong army, but sixty-seven out of ten of the million-strong army were placed in the northwest. The remaining part had to defend Bianjing. What can be used to fight us?"

How many? A hundred thousand troops."

Nong Zhigao's expression turned bitter when he heard this: "There are less than ten thousand of us. If an army of one hundred thousand really marches south, we still can't stop it!"

Huang Wei smiled and said: "When we take Guangnan East Road, we can recruit soldiers on Guangnan East Road, and then we can resist the army of the Song Dynasty. As long as we can take root on Guangnan East Road, we can become the king of the south by then.

It’s not impossible!”

Nong Zhigao was silent. He had to think carefully. It wasn't that he didn't have ambitions, nor that he wasn't brave enough. He pitted a family against a country in Jiaozhi and was indomitable. He had already proven his perseverance, but no matter what,

Persevering, he still knew what a behemoth the Song Dynasty was!

Just say that Jiaozhi, a country that failed him many times and made him hide in the mountains for several years, was just a small country in the eyes of the Song Dynasty. He couldn't even cope with Jiaozhi, but he wanted to conquer the Song Dynasty.

The tiger's beard, this really requires a lot of courage.

Nong Zhigao suddenly thought of something and said quickly: "Since you brothers know Zhang Heng and he is now the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, can you write to him to explain that we are willing to annex the Song Dynasty? If Zhang Heng is such a

If Zaizhi is willing to speak for us, can this matter be done?"

As soon as Nong Zhigao said these words, the two Huang Wei brothers suddenly realized.

"Yes, why can't we find out who is the same year as Zhang Heng? Even if Zhang Heng doesn't agree, we can at least spread the news!"

"Yes, we have repeatedly contacted the magistrates on Guangxi South Road to ask for permission to join the annexation. They said yes, but there has been no result. It can be seen that they are not really helping each other, but with Zhang Heng in the court,

But you can go straight to heaven and hear it, it’s feasible!”

Nong Zhigao suddenly became happy: "You think it's okay too, don't you?"

Huang Wei nodded and said: "Yes, this matter is worth a try!"

Nong Zhigao became even more happy: "Then please Gui Xianzhong write a letter quickly, and I will find someone to send it to Beijing!"

"etc!"

Huang Shimi stopped him.

Nong Zhigao was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

Huang Shimi fell into thinking. Nong Zhigao knew that Huang Shimi was thinking about important issues, so he calmed down.

After waiting for a long time, when Nong Zhigao became a little impatient, Huang Shimi suddenly said: "We still have to fight in Guangzhou!"

Nong Zhigao was stunned when he heard this: "Why, if we attack Guangzhou, Song Ting will be furious, and Zhang Heng's words may not be effective."

Huang Shimi said: "It is precisely to make Zhang Heng's words effective, so we have to give him a handle!"

"How do you say this?" Nong Zhigao asked quickly.

Huang Shimi wanted to speak, but Huang Wei said thoughtfully: "What the second brother means is that we need to show our strength. If the strength is not enough, it will make everyone in the Song Dynasty think that we only need to send an army."

If we are wiped out, there will be no need to recruit An.

But if we can even capture Guangzhou, and Zhang Heng has such a channel to recruit us there, then Zhang Heng will have the weight to speak, and then recruiting us will be a feasible strategy?"

Nong Zhigao reacted immediately: "That's indeed the truth!"
