Tong Zhi and the other three stood very carefully in front of Tang Ao, who was dressed in yellow robes, showing respect from the bottom of their hearts.
"Your grades are very good. It proves that you worked very hard when you were in Longyuan. I am very happy. From now on, you will be real officials. As the saying goes, when you gain power, the benefits will come naturally. You will meet when you are enjoying the power.
Faced with all kinds of imaginable and all kinds of unimaginable temptations, if you can stand it, truly serve the people wholeheartedly, and obey my king's call, you will naturally have a bright future, and even honoring your ancestors will be just a matter of course.
But if you cannot keep your original intention when you became an official and choose to sink, you may enjoy temporary happiness, but you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life."
"You can do things with confidence and boldness. As long as everything is done according to the rules and regulations, you don't have to worry about anyone making things difficult for you. As for the assassinations that may result from this, you don't have to worry about it. I have my own backing."
"In short, this is just one sentence. As long as you are upright, you don't have to worry about your shadow. If you don't do anything illegal, others will not be able to do anything to you. You are my students. You must be courageous and decisive when encountering problems. Don't hesitate...
"
"In the future, if you encounter any difficulties when you leave the country, you can write directly to the king and I will make the decision for you..."
Tang Ao said a lot in succession, and the central meaning of Tang Ao was one. While handing over their power, he also reminded them who gave them all this, and what should be done in the future is the most correct choice.
Tong Zhi and the others listened very carefully and tried their best to write down everything Tang Ao said. When they saw King Ji saying that he was tired and picking up the tea, they knew it was time for them to leave.
He bent down and saluted: "Dean, please rest assured that the student will not embarrass you, will learn how to use it, and will devote his life to making the people rich, so that the law can fully reflect the equality of everyone, and create a
Prosperity."
Tong Zhi and the others left after staying for nearly half an hour, with excitement on their faces. Tang Ao had made a lot of promises to them, giving them more confidence to do things.
The three of them left, and Xue Fei appeared beside Tang Ao at some point, "If you value them so much, do they really have such ability? They are just three students."
In ancient times, the concept of hierarchy was very serious. As Tang Ao was both a prince and a vassal king, it was rare to be able to talk about these things with three newcomers to the officialdom. No wonder Xue Fei
will be confused.
Tang Ao, on the other hand, explained with a calm expression, "The three of them may seem ordinary, but they are seeds. When one day, all states, counties, and counties are all these seeds, the world will be unified.
There will only be one voice in the world, and that is when those powerful people have no place to stand. At that time, they have only two choices, either to disobey the king and wait to be confiscated and exterminated; or to obey the king and adapt.
With the new system, you can be a rich man with peace of mind."
When Tang Ao talked about this, he felt a sense of confidence and majesty. At this moment, Xuefei looked a little crazy. Then, her face turned red, then she thought of what had happened and said:
"I heard that my uncle wants you to get married as soon as possible?"
"Oh!" Tang Ao, who was still upright at first, lost all his strength in an instant. He blushed and said with a guilty conscience, "That's what my uncle said, but I don't agree."
After all, Tang Ao was from later generations, and he still felt somewhat guilty about talking about marrying other women in front of his own woman. However, Xuefei did not have such a consciousness. In her opinion, someone with Tang Ao's status,
It is normal for someone with such ability to marry more women and spread their wings. A huge family fortune will always need someone to inherit it in the future.
"Well, it's okay that I didn't agree. Although I suffered a bit, if I can break into the master realm one day, everything will be worth it."
"Yes, I've written it down." Tang Ao nodded solemnly, and couldn't help but give up the idea of marrying a wife now and becoming a real man immediately.
...
Jizhou was developing step by step, but the world was already restless. After King Qing united with the barbarians to attack King Zhong, King Yuan Zhong of Qi united with King Shun, who was reorganizing the army under his rule, and began to use troops towards Huizhou. This led to the spread of war in the south of the Yangtze River.
The ground was filled with smoke again.
King Shun was finally persuaded by King Qi and chose to help him, mobilizing an army to send troops to Huizhou. As for generals such as Mo Chengyu and Lu Zhi, since the food and grass for the army were provided by King Qi, it was difficult to express their refusal.
Wan Dajun even became King Qi's minions.
The Battle of Suhui has begun, and the Battle of Qingzhong seems to be coming to an end.
King Yuan Zhong, who had previously stated that he would send a large army to fight to the death with the coalition forces of King Qing, but now Emperor Qianying Tang Qingchuan, had no intention of sending troops out of the city to fight. He just stood firm on the Chengdefu tower and allowed the other party to attack.
It seemed that Emperor Qianying was afraid and had only defensive power but no offensive ability. But in fact, only King Qing and the generals of the coalition forces knew about the suffering.
In battles between two armies, especially in siege battles, the attacking side often suffers greater losses. Facing tall city walls, they often have to pay more to win.
The allied forces of King Qing came from afar, and it was difficult to transport food and grass, and the distance required was very long, which was a disadvantage.
Even the coalition forces have their own thoughts. If the war goes well, no one will say anything. But once difficulties are encountered, the selfish side of human nature will be easily revealed, and people who are holding back will naturally appear. This is why
Second bad.
Chengde Mansion is the land of Jizhou, and the Qingwang Allied Forces are in Jinzhou. It is impossible for Jin Wang Li Sheng to say that he is not worried. He is afraid that when the Qingwang Allied Forces have no choice but to take Jizhou, they will suddenly attack Jin.
In this way, a large army was sent to the side of the coalition forces, even if they were staring at him, they were also in a defensive posture. Over a long period of time, the coalition forces were unable to concentrate on the war, which was three disadvantages.
Under various constraints, the morale of the Qingwang coalition forces, which had been unable to attack the city for a long time, began to drop sharply, and the morale of the army was inevitably shaken. It happened to be snowing heavily, the roads were difficult to travel, and the transportation of grain and grass was unfavorable. After they did not arrive on time, there was news that the military grain was limited.
With this news, this unsettling factor finally played its greatest role.
Tai Lei, the commander-in-chief of Suzhou and one of the main generals of the coalition forces, was meeting privately with a long-robed Confucian scholar. If King Qing could see this person, he would definitely be very surprised and shout -
Zhang Zhen.
As one of the original staff of King Zhong, his status rose sharply after Tang Qingchuan became the Qian Yingzong, and he became the leader of hundreds of officials. When he was serving Zuo Pushe, he was a very popular minister.
For such a person to appear in the enemy's military camp and become Taylor's guest, this is a very abnormal thing.
Tai Lei knew the other party's identity and was still willing to see him, which was enough to show that he had other ideas in his mind and had his own little Jiujiu.
The big tent was surrounded by Tyree's soldiers to ensure that no one would disturb them. In a quiet environment, the two parties sat together and started bargaining like businessmen.
"The prestige of General Tai Liang is well known in the world. His Majesty knows that you are a great talent and have always respected generals. As long as you look back now, you can choose from glory and wealth. If you are willing to join Daliang as an official, the post of Minister of the Ministry of War and General of Daliang City is yours. It's none other than. If you don't want to go to Beijing, you can still be the commander-in-chief of Suzhou, and His Majesty will issue an decree to appoint you as the magistrate of Suzhou, so that the entire Su region will be in the hands of the commander-in-chief alone." Zhang Zhen took it with a smile on his face. Out of your own conditions.
Taylor's face was calm, and his sharp eyes like an eagle scanned the visitor. But his expression soon softened, and he thought of his current situation.
The heavy snow fell, making it difficult to harvest food and grass. I heard that King Qing went to see King Jin, but it was probably difficult to solve this problem. After all, King Qing’s coalition forces came to Jinzhou, and King Jin was also a little worried, fearing that these people would attack After defeating Emperor Qian Ying, he will be defeated with the power of great victory. I am careful, I may be able to provide a certain amount of food and grass, but it will definitely not be too much.
The army has no food and grass, and the soldiers will not have enough to eat. Under such circumstances, who is still willing to work hard for you? How much more can the combat power be used?
Especially those 30,000 Western barbarian cavalry. After the horses are deprived of refined food, they will only become thinner day by day. How can they still give full play to their advantages?
But if the 30,000 cavalrymen leave first, this so-called coalition army will be nothing more than a flower in the world and a moon in the water. At that time, as a member of the coalition army, will what I do will cause the displeasure of Emperor Qianying?
Looking at the journey from Jizhou to the west, Suzhou is the first to be hit! If so, what will he do once the main force of the Liaozhou army arrives?
Without long-term worries, there must be immediate worries. At this moment, Taylor had to think about the tens of thousands of Suzhou troops and the nearly one million Suzhou people.
Even those who have a temper must bow to reality. Taylor sighed in his heart and then said: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know what your Majesty means?"
Zhang Zhen smiled.
Although Tai Lei did not say that he would surrender immediately, even if they could talk, everything was hopeful. At that moment, he told all the benefits that Emperor Qian Ying had promised when he came. But it obviously did not meet Tai Lei's expectations. The two sides began to argue again like businessmen bargaining.
...
As the female officer beside the eldest princess, Zhuyun disguised herself all the way and mixed with a caravan to reach Jicheng.
When Zhuyun first entered Jizhou, it was an eye-opener. Thanks to Tang Ao, although he had never been to Jizhou, he had heard about everything here, such as its remoteness, poverty, bitter cold, etc.
But now that I enter the city, I don't feel the poverty at all. On the contrary, the originally cold weather seems to have eased a lot because of the crowds in the city, and it is not that cold anymore. From the first sight, the prosperity here seems to be no less than that of Daliang City. , and even worse in some places.
