Ren Tianxing accompanied Old Wei to the south. He soon discovered that this Wei Xianggong was very funny and easy-going, without any airs, the food on the boat was crude and the rice wine was not good, but Wei Xianggong didn't care at all. He ate and chatted with a group of pirates.

Lao Wei said that when he was young, he worked hard to study, crossed the river with his own clothes, threw himself in the river, and vowed not to return to his hometown if he did not become famous. He also said that he assisted Guo Wei and made up his mind to enter Kaifeng and restore the Han family's mountains.

Old Wei smiled and said, "You often like to say that officials force the people to rebel. This makes sense, but how did the official family come from? It is also because officials force the people to rebel. Emperor Gaozu of Han used his mere pavilion as a pavilion leader to rebel, kill the snake and destroy Qin and destroy Chu. What a hero! So those of us who seem to be superior should be more cautious. If we take off our official uniform, I am the same as you."

Wei Renpu poured a big sip of wine into his mouth and smiled and said, "Don't think I'm talking nonsense. Now the Great Zhou has abolished the land of office, public land, and academic land... In short, all the privileges of officials and gentry were exempted. When I retired and returned home, I would have to farm, receive taxes, and serve. Speaking of which, it is an ordinary person. This is the new law practiced by the Great Zhou."

After a few days of getting along, some thieves became bolder and said unconvincedly: "You are the prime minister, and the court does not have any salary and preferential treatment. How can you be like an ordinary person?"

Old Wei smiled and said, "Well, I am the prime minister, but I didn't fall from the sky casually. When I was young, I studied hard, but later I followed the former emperor by chance and started a military campaign. Today, the Great Zhou opposes gaining nothing but work, but I don't have any rewards for my efforts? Just like you, if you serve the Great Zhou and make contributions, you may be able to become generals and ministers in the future. In short, the new law of the Great Zhou emphasizes the word "fairness."

"The land is fair, taxes, labor service, and opportunities are fair. Nowadays, schools are set up everywhere, and children from ordinary families can also enter school. From now on, there will be no distinction between scholars and people... Let me tell you one thing, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, was teaching in the Dazhou School with thousands of students. His test scores are not good, and His Majesty will still be worried and scratching his head!"

"So, don't care about your background. There is no noble and lowly in this world. Everyone is the same." Old Wei said, slanting the corners of his eyes, and then smiled at the pirates: "You can't turn around, and think you are not worthy of Han Xizai's daughter. You are a toad to eat swan meat!" Old Wei curled his lips disdainfully, "How can you look down on yourself? Why do you look down on yourself so much? I also married a woman from the Li family in Longxi! How about it, for decades, I have been honest and caring for my husband and children. As a man, what I want is a sense of aura. Are you right?"

"right!"

"That's right!"

The pirates smiled and agreed, and all gave their thumbs up, "Prince Wei, you are so good at speaking. Our big leader is too brave and too thin-skinned! He is at a disadvantage!"

The pirates laughed, making Ren Tianxing’s face turn red. He wanted to throw these subordinates into the sea. Before they could do anything, you betrayed. It’s simply abominable!

Someone got closer and asked Lao Wei curiously, "I heard from the prime minister that the Great Zhou is really good, but why are there so many people scolding you? I said that the Central Plains are inverted, like hell!"

Old Wei snorted, "What is Gangchang? Gangchang means that you monkeys will quickly lie on the ground to salute when you see me, and that means that you ship owners will never want to marry a noble lady in your life! This is Gangchang! How about you?"

The pirates were stunned for a while, and then woke up, "Oh, the young men understand that it is those who hate the new law that spread rumors and slander, just like some people say that we are little ghosts on the sea, eating people and drinking blood, right?"

Wei Renpu smiled and said, "That's right, what I said to you is not just me talking nonsense and talking nonsense... My Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, Wang Pu, has brought all the scholars and masters to recompile Confucian classics to achieve a new school of learning. The new school talks about the relationship between people, the relationship between people and the court, how to govern the world, and how to maintain justice and righteousness..."

The pirates surrounded Lao Wei and were fascinated by him. In just a few days, these people were mostly fooled by Wei Renpu. Even Ren Tianxing couldn't help but sigh. Ye Hua told him that Kaifeng had many talented people and many talented people far surpassed the champion Marquis.

Now it seems that Mr. Wei is much stronger than Ye Hua. He is really like a prime minister. His belly is amazing!

Famous officials and good generals gathered, and it seems that it is a good choice to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty... The fleet sailed into the Yangtze River and headed straight to Suzhou.

As soon as they entered the estuary of the Yangtze River, a fleet appeared from the south. It was not too far from them, and it seemed that there were dozens of ships.

"Grandpa Wei, 80% of it is the navy of Wu Yue. We are going to prepare for the battle. Please go back to the cabin to rest temporarily." Ren Tianxing held the long sword and said firmly.

Old Wei smiled, "No need!"

He clicked his hand and asked the follower to take out a flag, "Let the owner, please hang up the flag, I want to see if Wu Yue has the courage to touch me!"

Soon, the pirates hung Wei Renpu's banner on the mast as instructed, and followed the wind and flew.

"I ordered the General Secretary to recruit the pacification envoy, Grand Secretary, Shizhong and Minister of Personnel, and Governor of the Military and Ma Han Gong Wei!"

This large string of people shows Old Wei's unique identity. When the banner was hung out, Wei Renpu ordered a sailor to take a boat to Wu Yue to inform their people to come and meet the imperial envoy of the Shangguo.

A young man rushed out of the sailors. He rushed towards Wu Yue's fleet like a clever monkey, flying in a small boat.

After waiting for almost half an hour, there was no movement. Ren Tianxing was anxious, "Mr. Wei, Wu Yue must have ulterior motives, so be prepared for battle!"

Old Wei smiled and waved his hand, "No need, let the ship owner, you can take a look!"

Wei Renpu handed Ren Tianxing a brass tube. Ren Tianxing just saw Lao Wei holding it in his hand and put it in front of him for a long time. He didn't understand why, so he didn't know how to ask.

Unexpectedly, Old Wei gave it to him on his own initiative. Ren Tianxing imitated Wei Renpu's appearance and took this thing to the sea, but he was shocked and almost fell on the deck.

"Oh my god! How can you see that far?"

Wei Renpu laughed, "This thing is called Qianliyan, and it was also developed by craftsmen. If the ship owner likes it, he will give it to you."

So generous!

Ren Tianxing grinned and couldn't even say polite words, for fear that Lao Wei would not give him any more.

First there is a compass, then a telescope. How many treasures are there in this big circumference?

Ren Tianxing was completely impressed. He looked at the water surface greedily through the telescope. Finally, two ships rushed over, one after another.

The young sailor who delivered the letter climbed the rope and rushed up in three or two lines.

Everyone was curious about asking if there was any danger. He raised the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Who am I? I am the envoy of the imperial envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why are the people from Wu Yue here obediently?"

Sure enough, an official from Wu Yue boarded the boat and hurried over to pay homage to Wei Renpu.

"I don't know that the prime minister of the superior country has come and the subordinate officials are polite."

Wei Renpu snorted with his nose, "Don't you give me a respect for Nan Tang, don't you respect Nan Tang? Why are you so polite to me?"

As soon as these words were said, the minister of Wu Yue immediately knelt down and cried bitterly, "Reported to the imperial envoy of the Supreme Kingdom, my country really has no way out and has to be flattered. If the superior country can pity my country and understand the difficulties of my country, my country will naturally be willing to respect the Great Zhou, but the Great Zhou will follow the order!"

Most of Ren Tianxing's subordinates are from Liangzhe. Seeing that the officials of Wu Yue were so cowardly, they couldn't help but turn their heads. It would be embarrassing to take a look at them more.

Old Wei smiled indifferently, "If you are willing to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty, you can naturally learn from the righteous people of Suzhou and surrender. I will submit a message to the court and treat you kindly. Remember not to follow the traitors of the Southern Tang Dynasty to disobey the heavenly soldiers. Otherwise, the day when the Great Zhou goes south, there will be no chicken or dog left!"

“Yes, yes!”

Wu Yue's officials nodded quickly to agree.

Old Wei said again: "This pavilion will go to Suzhou and take your subordinates to return to the garrison. If you dare to covet our army, I will never be polite!"

When they heard that Wei Renpu was going to Suzhou, the officials of Wu Yue were stunned. They seemed to want to say something, but they had no courage, so they could only run away with their heads in their arms!

"Grandma, why are you still an official in this virtue? You don't even have any bones. No wonder the people are bullied!" These pirates looked down on Wu Yue.

There was no way, who made them so cowardly, and they became even more cowardly after losing Suzhou. Not long after, Wu Yue's fleet retreated in shame according to Wei Renpu's wishes.

"The power of the prime minister is really amazing!" The pirates exclaimed in unison.

Wei Renpu smiled silently, "I am just a scholar, and I have never even killed a chicken. What they are afraid of is not me, but the Great Zhou... and my Great Zhou's tiger and wolf army! You are all good men who are rampant on the sea and have good skills. I just don't know if you are willing to surrender to the Great Zhou and become the sharp sword on the sea in your Majesty's hand?"

The pirates were excited, and some people seemed to agree, but when they reached the tip of their tongues, they suddenly remembered that the boss was here. Someone took the words back and could only look at Ren Tianxing.

Ren Tianxing pondered for a moment. In fact, his persistence had been beaten to pieces, and there was not much left. Ye Hua was so powerful that this Wei Xianggong looked even more extraordinary, so he should be defeated!

Just as he was thinking, the crew member who was looking at the mast suddenly exclaimed, "Big Dragon Head, the navy of Nan Tang is here. It seems that there are hundreds of ships, which have sealed the river surface!"

Ren Tianxing was shocked and immediately said: "Hurry, all the members are ready, fight immediately!"

After the order was issued, he turned to Wei Renpu and said, "Grandpa Wei, I'm afraid the fight will start this time. I'll ask the prime minister to go into the cabin to rest, and everything will be left to the villain!"

Wei Renpu laughed loudly, "Caring in the same boat, you should fight side by side. As the saying goes, multiple monkeys can make you three more strength." Wei Renpu said, asking his subordinates to bring his sword, and he pulled it out.
