Chapter 414(1/2)
Most of the people in the capital were fond of things, especially those who were noble, royal relatives, and powerful disciples in the court. They have always been idle in the capital, and only a group of three, five, seven, eight, and one party, and formed gangs to cause trouble in the capital.
Although Zhao Langjiang was named King Yinyang, he was a king of a different surname, not Zhu. He was truly a status and was even less than a duke in power in the court. Secondly, he had no foundation in the capital. No one who could have established himself in the capital over the years was a complicated matter. Only Zhao Langjiang had only been a city lord for less than a year. To put it bluntly, he had less than 100,000 people in charge, and even more than a prefectural governor.
So when these playboy disciples heard that Zhao Langjiang had entered the city, they all came to join in the fun, thinking in their hearts that they wanted to give him a warning.
Zhang Shubao, the son of Duke of Lu, is one of them. This young man who has been very popular in the capital recently, has become one of the most popular people in the capital because of his father's honor. He is no different from other young men and wants to show off, so he boasts about Haikou and invites several young men from other famous families to come to Yongding Gate to block the road.
The story about Zhao Langjiang was so amazing.
Zhang Shubao did not believe it, especially Zhao Langjiang, the general who heard the teahouse story, came to earth to pick on the war god in the city. He was full of disdain. The result of the war in the Western Xinjiang was that His Majesty was wise in the layout. Xue Huai, the King of Dingbei, was restrained in the northern Xinjiang. Zhao Langjiang just took advantage of it and happened to make great contributions. If it were him, I believe he would not have done too badly. At least, when he was in the battle, he would not have flattered himself like the useless son of the Minister of War, and quickly transferred back to the Red Cavalry.
Five people stood up and stood in the middle of the street.
Song Renji was in the Red Cavalry Army and was also a senior official in the capital. He was just different from them. His father had very strict requirements on him and strictly prohibited him from mingling with these dandy playboys, so he sent him to the frontier to make contributions. However, after being in the capital for a long time, he still knew these four people.
Song Rendi said, "Mr. Zhang, today I will come to welcome Prince Zhao into the capital, waiting for His Majesty to see him. What are you trying to block the road like this?"
Zhang Shubao smiled and said, "I have heard that King Yinyang has a golden sword, which is invincible in the world. Our brothers admire him very much. I want to see if this sword is as good as the legend? If it is really that good, we will buy it at a price."
Song Renji's face changed. This kid is here to find trouble. He is now in charge of official duties. It is logical that he can disperse them, but he is not an ordinary person. He said in front of His Majesty that the position of Minister Song's official position would be lost.
"Mr. Zhang is joking. Who doesn't know that there is an arsenal in the Duke of Lu's mansion that collects famous swords in the world, and people in the martial arts world are known as the world's sword magazine."
Zhang Shubao was very helpful to him and said, "Although the knife magazine is big, there is no knife I like. I heard that Zhao Langjiang used this golden sword to show his power in Hengduan Mountain, and just happened to offer a price for me, the city master Zhao, in his mansion."
Zhao Langjiang frowned slightly.
If he had a normal personality and encountered such a thing, Zhao Langjiang would definitely ask Song Rendie first, "Duke Lu has only one son?" or "How old is Lu, I don't know if he can have children." But he is no longer the hero who killed Sun Shaoming and Li Renjie in anger, but the lord of a city.
Residents nourish qi and transfers to nourish the body.
Zhao Langjiang has already had a cunning life in his heart for a long time, so he will naturally not be angry with the arrogant words of such a boy.
What's more, before coming, Military Commander Chai also told him that the capital was deep and he would kill a turtle and take out shrimps if he swept the floor and kept the door, he might have a noble relative in the palace. These people are very proud of their face. Usually, these poor relatives will borrow money, but if you bully these poor relatives, he will fight with you until the end, and even if he doesn't help, he will stumbling to you.
Therefore, Zhao Langjiang followed the principle of entering Beijing, that he did not understand and did not dare to ask randomly. After all, there were still 100,000 people behind him and a city.
When Zhao Langjiang learned that he was the son of Duke Lu, he smiled, "This golden sword is the property of the Lord of Yinyang City. If the young master wants it, there are two ways. He either comes to be the Lord of Yinyang City or asks His Majesty for the order. I dare not give it to anyone easily."
This sentence means that even Zhao Langjiang is very satisfied with the kick of the ball to the palace. Even Zhao Langjiang is very satisfied with it. Even if he borrows Zhang Shubao's ten courage, he will not dare to go to the palace to ask for a knife.
However, Zhang Shubao was not discouraged.
"That's a pity. However, since you don't sell the sword, it's said that King Yinyang's martial arts are extraordinary. It's a coincidence that I am also a good martial arts person. I wonder if I can ask for a move and half a stance so that people in the capital can see if Lord Zhao's martial arts are exaggerated?"
Zhao Langjiang looked at Zhang Shubao, his steps were empty and his true energy was weak. It was good to be able to enter the realm of hearing. He could fight with ordinary people or fight three or five. With this body, he could not even be a gatekeeper in Yinyang City.
But he is the son of Duke Lu.
The Duke of Lu didn't know him, but he had to give him face.
"How dare I fight Mr. Zhang? No matter how good my martial arts are, I can't beat the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet."
When the other people heard this, they immediately said loudly, "Did you hear it? Zhao Langjiang, the king of Yinyang, the king of Western Xinjiang, is not the opponent of Mr. Zhang!"
Zhao Langjiang did not want to participate in the verbal dispute, so he just let him go. He said to Song Ren, "Master Song, since that's the case, we might as well take a detour."
Song Renji was responsible for the reception of King Yinyang, for fear of causing trouble and causing trouble. At first, he was worried that Zhao Langjiang would take action. He felt relieved when he heard these words, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's better to take a detour to Zuoanmen."
A tiger cavalryman who was traveling with him said dissatisfiedly, "We came to the capital and were so fucking cowardly."
Zhao Langjiang glanced at him, and the man was silent.
"This is the capital city, not as good as Yin Yang, and cannot show off one's power. If you can't bear to eat or drink at all, how can you accomplish great things in the future?"
When the tiger cavalry heard this, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
When Zhang Shubao and others saw that they were about to take a detour, they burst into laughter and said, "The Lord of Yinyang is just like this. He is a dragon outside. When he comes to the capital, he still has to keep storing."
Zhao Langjiang heard it and sneered.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone say, "Slow down!"
An old man in regular clothes rode out of the crowd. The man was burly and sat on the horse, almost the same height as Zhao Langjiang. His face was even more solemn and murderous, and he looked like he was powerful without anger.
When Zhang Shubao saw the old man, he knew something was wrong and he was about to leave.
The old man said again, "Slow down!"
As if several people were imposed on a fixed posture, they stood there and did not dare to move.
The old man said, "My Ming soldiers guard the national gate with their flesh and blood as the emperor, and use their passionate and loyal soul to defend the foreign invaders. Now that they have arrived in the capital, can't even leave Yongding Gate?"
Zhang Shubao stammered, "Old Prince, we are just kidding."
"joke?"
The old man said with a brow, "If you ask Zhang Shihe over, I want to ask, how did he discipline his son?"
When Zhang Shubao heard this, he immediately panicked, "Old Prince, my father was summoned into the palace by His Majesty today. He has not come back yet. I know I am wrong. Don't tell my father."
Zhao Langjiang looked at the old man, but he didn't know the other party's identity. When Zhang Shubao saw him like a mouse, he called Duke Lu and called him a name directly, probably because he was quite famous.
Song Renji whispered, "This is Xue Huai, the King of Pingbei."
Zhao Langjiang suddenly realized, no wonder he was so majestic in every move. This person was the King of Pingbei who was dubbed the Turtle King by the Northern Zhou people and led his army to capture Shenxiangou not long ago. He was a veteran of three dynasties, and his ancestors were a military family. He commanded the Dingbei Army and was powerful in the court.
Duke Lu is now favored, but he is just a new nobleman, not a powerful man. The emperor only needs a verbal order to kill him. But the King of Pingbei is different. His identity and the family behind him are enough to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, so even the emperor is polite to him.
Zhao Langjiang was about to dismount, but was blocked by Prince Xue. He said, "The mountains are high and the road is far away, and the boats are exhausted. I will lead the horse for General Zhao."
King Yinyang, King Jindao, Lord Zhao City, and Zhao Langjiang have countless names. Only General Zhao was the only general who was named King Yinyang when the court was named King Yinyang. As compensation for failing to be named the Grand Commander of the Western Army, this is his position in the military.
This made Zhao Langjiang feel very intimate.
Zhao Langjiang said repeatedly, "No way to use it!"
Xue Huai said, "Make!"
Zhao Langjiang wants to refuse again.
Xue Huai said unhappily, "Do you think I am leading a horse for you? I am leading a horse for the passionate men who sacrificed their lives for the country outside Hengduan Mountains, and for the thousands of soldiers stationed in the frontier!"
This was said from his mouth, and it was filled with pride and it was heard by everyone, and it was also full of passion.
Without the soldiers on the frontier, where can the sea and rivers come from? Without the blood of loyal souls, how can there be the peaceful and prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty today?
Zhao Langjiang was in awe.
He had only heard some knowledge of King Dingbei before. Rumors, even Yuwen Tianlu had said such words as "I am not as good as Duke Huai". This person is definitely not a foolish prince who is said to drink all day long and cannot hide.
Zhao Langjiang sat upright.
At this moment, he was no longer the King of Yinyang or the Lord of City Zhao, but represented the entire Western Army in the Western Front and was entrusted by Xue Huai's horse. This is the most supreme glory as a soldier.
All
In full view, the old and the young walked out of Yongding Gate. Everyone gave in to the two military generals wherever they were.
Zhang Shubao and his men left in shame while they were not paying attention.
Of course, the journey to Anguo Duke's Mansion is long, and Xue Huai will not always lead the horse. Today he came here to express his opinion and show the attitude of the Ming military.
In the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, his behavior seems more like a kind of win-win situation. I believe that in a short time, rumors will arise. Some censors even submitted impeachment, saying that the two military generals conspired to discuss matters, plotted against illegitimate plans, etc.
After the people dispersed, Zhao Langjiang dismounted and saluted Xue Huai.
Xue Huai accepted it calmly.
"If you hadn't delayed in Western Xinjiang and killed Tuoba Wudi, I wouldn't have easily taken down the Shenxian Gully. This turtle king's hat would have been worn for a few more years. Haha!"
The military man spoke straightforwardly without going around the corner, which immediately won Zhao Langjiang's favor and was even more overwhelmed with this prince.
"Why did you come to Beijing?"
Zhao Langjiang said, "I am waiting for the order, and I dare not not come."
Xue Huai said, "Since I'm here, I have a few words to give you."
"Zhao Langjiang listened carefully."
Xue Huai is an old man in the court. He has a deeper and farther view of the court, the capital, and even the whole world. Although His Majesty did not say it clearly, he almost guessed the intention.
"As an official in the capital, he is full of dangers everywhere, not as good as Yin Yang. He is directly solving problems with swords. When speaking and doing things, he must be careful everywhere, act and speak, look at ten points, listen to seven points, believe in five points, and say three points, so that he can survive in the capital."
Zhao Langjiang asked back, "Is the same true for the prince?"
Xue Huai laughed, "If someone else asked, I would have slashed it with one knife. However, I am afraid I can't beat you, so I have to tell you honestly that I am not."
"Why teach me like this?"
Xue Huaidai said, "Because I am a veteran of three dynasties, my ancestors were founding meritorious officials, I am loyal to the court, and I am loyal to Your Majesty. I have three thousand disciples, do you have the confidence of this king?"
Zhao Langjiang shook his head.
Xue Huai reminded, "Martial arts are not easy to use in the capital."
Zhao Langjiang thanked him. He had just come to the capital and was not familiar with the place. King Dingbei came to take the horse and gave a message in person, and he was very grateful.
"The Japanese king is here in casual clothes. It does not mean that the military is the only one who speaks or listens to it. Your Majesty will see you next day. No matter what conditions you put forward, you will agree."
After saying that, someone came with his horse. Xue Huai turned over and rode his horse away. Before leaving, he suddenly said, "One day, I look forward to joining forces with General Zhao to fight the enemy!"
When he left, the unparalleled eyes in the alley retreated and they all reported to their respective masters.
