On the Bian River boat, Ling Yun looked at Wei Zheng, who was standing on the bow of the boat with a fierce look, with a gloomy face.
Wang Bao walked over with a wine bag while drinking, "I don't believe that Sanlang said how powerful Wang Tong was. Unexpectedly, that little gentleman is really worth it. You went to Hedong Longmen to attend a few classes. Just now, I only signed up for his name, but I actually brought up a scholar so easily to go north. The Wei family of Julu is a famous genius in Shandong."
Ling Yun was stunned. Could it be that he had really gone to Hedong to listen to Wang Tong's lecture? It was not so coincidental. He knew Wang Tong because Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling had been classmates under Wang Tong, and even Li Jing had even listened to classes under Wang Tong. In history, Wang Tong compared himself to Confucius. Later, in the Three Character Classic, he was listed as one of the five sons of the various schools of thought. The five sons were Xun Yang, Wen Zhongzi, and Lao Zhuang. But as Wang Bao meant, he seemed to have actually gone to Hedong to listen to classes before.
He was a student of Wang Tong's auditor. The coincidence was only coincidence. Ling Yun smiled but did not reveal it. He was just thinking in his heart that if Wang Tong had so many famous disciples, did he know each other well? He remembered that among the ministers in the early Tang Dynasty, except for Wen Yanbo, Du Yan, Xue Shou and other important ministers who were his disciples, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Li Jing were all his auditors, and there were even Ru Wang? Du Ruhui, Chen Shuda and other important ministers in the early Tang Dynasty, they were also friends of Wang Tong.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wang Tong was a famous teacher of a generation.
Perhaps, I can contact Teacher Wang in the future, or contact those fellow disciples more. Any of these classmates will be an amazing person in the future.
When the clouds were soaring to the sky, the drums of the door-locking curfew on the Jingjie Street in Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River had already sounded, and the various markets planned and built by the capital Daxing City closed the doors. After night, citizens could only walk around the yard and not leave the yard. The lights of thousands of families were extinguished one after another, and the noisy Jiangnan famous city gradually fell into silence.
There are still lights in the General Administration, and the guards and maids are on duty seriously.
In the study, Yang Guang paced back and forth in front of the table with his hands on his back, his brows rising from time to time, revealing his boredom.
The guards and maids guarding in front of the door were all calm and did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing the King of Jin.
It was late at night and the dinner had been hot three times, but the King of Jin had not eaten yet. The food officer was worried and had to go and tell Concubine Xiao and ask her to persuade him.
Xiao Meiniang walked slowly under the guidance of several maids. The guards and maids standing in front of the door all felt relieved and stepped forward and bowed down to salute: "Welcome to the princess!" Xiao Meiniang waved her hand, "Your Highness hasn't eaten yet?"
"Reply to the princess, dinner has been hot three times, but your highness has not eaten yet."
Xiao Meiniang nodded, took the freshly hot food box from the food officer and carried it into the study alone. Seeing Yang Guang frowning and walking, "Why are your highness worried? You are reluctant to use dinner?"
"You know, the matter of Shi Wansui has hit us a lot. We spent more than 100,000 yuan on Shi Wansui, and we used a lot of relationships to win him over. But as a result, our father had already appointed Shi Wansui to Yangzhou to command the military of the King of Jin's Mansion, but in the end he was dismissed for the people before the journey."
The three powerful generals in the court today, Yang Su, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, Yang Su, he has already won over, but he is already in the provincial Taizhong. He Ruobi is on the side of the prince and finally won over Shi Wansui. He is preparing to come to Jiangnan to be responsible for the military of the King of Jin's Mansion and help him command the military of the forty-four prefectures of Jianghuai. If a brave general like Shi Wansui can come to Jiangnan, even if he fails to compete for the crown prince for the throne, he can still get up in Jiangnan and rule the river and wait for the future. However, after so much effort, he gets such a result. It is a huge blow to Yang Guang.
Xiao Meiniang put a fox fur on Yang Guang, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry so much. Although Shi Wansui was dismissed from office as a citizen, at least he did not stand with the prince, or the king of Han or Shu."
Yang Guang looked at Xiao Meiniang and shook his head, "Things are not as simple as you said. Why do you think Shi Wansui was dismissed? On the surface, it was because of the rebellion of the Southwest Barbarians, but in fact, the news that Gu received was actually behind the scenes of the prince and Yang Xiu. Shi Wansui was indeed bribed, but behind the rebellion of the barbarians, Yang Xiu was manipulating and supporting him, and there was also the figure of the Eastern Palace. All of this was just because he saw the attack and conquering Shi Wansui, and he didn't want to see him throwing him to Gu, and secretly took action. It was a very simple thing to buy a few barbarians to rebel, but Shi Wansui almost got lost. The prince and the King of Shu were getting closer and closer, and they became more and more scruples."
Long live Shi, it is not enough to make Yang Guang panic, but if Yang Yong and Yang Xiu join forces, it will be a little bad for Yang Guang.
"I feel that your highness is not losing this time. Shi Wansui will be able to save his life if he loses his best. I am grateful to your highness. On the contrary, this time, Yang Xiu blackmailed Shi Wansui first and joined him with the prince, and almost killed him. What side do you think Shi Wansui will stand among the princes now? Although Shi Wansui is dismissed for the people now, a general like him will be re-activated at most. At that time, he will definitely stand completely on His Highness's side.
.Besides, even if Shi Wansui is unemployed now, will his subordinates still stand on the side of His Highness? Besides, now that His Highness has successfully won over Yang Su, I feel that the prince and his friends have made a fool of themselves, and the situation is becoming more and more beneficial to us. By the way, I just received a reply from the palace. Concubine Chen was very happy for His Highness's gift. In addition, he was very grateful for Your Highness's help to treat the Chen clan well, and also very grateful for the tolerance of the Shen family."
Concubine Chen is Princess Nanchen, the daughter of Emperor Xuan, and the sister of the Later Lord. After Chen died, he entered the Sui Palace. He was originally a maid of the palace in Yeting. Empress Dugu was extremely jealous and no other women were lucky to enter. However, since the emperor came to Yuchi, Empress Dugu died in anger and caused the emperor to leave the palace, in order to ease the relationship between husband and wife, Empress Dugu had to ease a little in this regard. Concubine Chen was one of the few women selected by Empress Dugu for Yang Jian. Because of her noble background and young and beautiful appearance, Concubine Chen was very favored and was also considered the person who could speak in front of Yang Jian.
Among Yang Guang's several concubines, there were two princesses of the Chen Dynasty, but they were the niece of Concubine Chen. Yang Guang used this relationship to strengthen contact with Concubine Chen and Concubine Chen in this way. He often gave gifts such as gold, snakes, jade, etc. into the palace, and helped to resettle the children of the Chen family. Last time, when Shen was involved in the Gao family case, Yang Guanggao took it lightly and got a lot of benefits from the Shen family, but he did not forget to come to Concubine Chen to seek credit, which made Concubine Chen full of gratitude. Usually, he did not find an opportunity to speak for him in front of Yang Jian.
Yang Guang smiled: "Maybe I'm too nervous, but it's really too critical to us now."
"Have you heard that the general manager of Jianzhou came to Hu'er to come to Yangzhou to pay homage to Your Highness, and have chosen to support Your Highness?"
Speaking of Hu'er, Yang Guang was much happier. He held Xiao's hand and smiled, "Well, this is true. Speaking of which, Gu had sent someone to win over Hu'er before the New Year, and gave a lot of money, but Hu'er was a little confused. Unexpectedly, this time, he met Ling Yun in Henan, but he stood on Gu's side all of a sudden."
"Because of Lingyun?" Xiao only heard that Hu'er was about to come to Yangzhou to visit Yang Guang, but he didn't know that there were such twists and turns in it.
"Well, Gu didn't believe it at the beginning. Ling Yun was really a little unreasonable. He was a lucky general of Gu." Speaking of Ling Yun, Yang Guang was in a good mood. "This kid went north and made a lot of trouble. He is still in Huazhou, Henan, where he made friends with a group of local tyrants in Henan, green forest heroes, and so on. He called his brothers and joined gangs. This is more than just a secret message that Pei Li had just sent. When he was in Huazhou, he encountered an ambush from more than 100 black iron guards under the command of the landlord. As a result, he had nothing to do and killed the other party. Then come, he was killed.
Hu'er's young master encountered this incident accidentally and kindly helped him. However, Ling Yun showed up with Lai Hu'er, and forced Lai Hu'er to no longer have any more chances, so he had to stand on our side. More than that, this guy, in a blink of an eye, gathered his friends from the world, ran to Xingyang to confiscate an underground armor workshop of more than a thousand people built by the Zheng family for the Seiji, killed people, robbed the armies, and took away all the craftsmen. It is estimated that the Seiji has received the news from this side now. At this time, the soldiers and generals were lost, and a military armor workshop was lost. It is estimated that he was furious."
Yang Guang became happier the more he said, "Gu really underestimated this boy Ling Yun. Some of his style in the world is really useful. Seeing that he wanted to kill him, he now lost his troops and generals, he probably regretted it. It seems that there is nothing wrong with letting this boy go to the north, and there will be more surprises after he arrives in the north. Gu really wants to see what other tricks he can do, let him go to the north for a few years. Gu is ready to see. If he can really make a big noise, Gu will definitely not lose to him in the future."
When Xiao Meiniang heard her husband praise this illegitimate son, she felt a little difficult to calm down. Her two sons, who had a noble son, had never received such praise from him. She even wondered if she had planned not to interfere with the illegitimate son, was it a bit inappropriate for her to not interfere with the illegitimate son?
"Your Highness, as soon as Ling Yun goes north, it's like a dragon roaming the sea and a tiger entering the forest!" Xiao said meaningfully. "Your Highness sees that he has not yet reached the northern border, he has already made friends with local tyrants, won over the rivers and lakes, called brothers, and became a charity. Without His Highness's permission, he dared to lead people to attack the prince's workshop. If he arrives in the northern border, he will take over the power of the Tiger Alliance and the Gao family, it will be more and more difficult to control. Although Ling Yun is the son of His Highness, he has grown up in the wilderness of the world since he was a child, and he is full of habits in the world, and is afraid that he will be unable to control it and will not accept the constraints."
Yang Guang scraped his fingers over his short beard under his jaw, thought for a while, and finally said with a smile: "What my beloved concubine said is some truth, but she is a little overthinking. Although Ling Yun surprised Gu a little, she could not escape Gu's control!"
Xiao Meiniang was very smart and didn't say much. Even if she was blowing by the pillow, she had to look at the timing. When the time was wrong, she would stop when she saw it was good. If she said too much, she would have a counterproductive effect. Although her husband now believed in the illegitimate child, she believed that as long as she often mentioned a few words from time to time, she would naturally accumulate bones and achieve her goal. "It seems that I am too busy and I won't mention this. It's getting late, and Your Highness should also eat something. This is the fourth dinner delivered by the kitchen. If Your Highness refuses to eat, the food officer will be anxious to turn white."
Yang Guang laughed, "When I said this, I realized that I was really hungry. Thank you for your care, so I will have a meal."
