Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 1 Recruitment
Two figures strolled on the high bank by the pool. The long heat finally ushered in the first rain. Although it didn't help the drought much, it relieved the sweltering heat. It was already the beginning of September, but it didn't have the smell of high autumn air at this time in previous years. The heat of the red sun hanging in the sky was still undiminished. If it hadn't been for the rain just now, the two of them would not have dared to go out for a walk, even if the willows by the pool were lingering.
"Brother Cheng Song, I'm afraid it's been a long time since you visited here?" The big fan opens and closes from time to time, and the gold-threaded one-horned dragon-shaped pattern is faintly visible between the wide sleeves.
"Your Highness, please don't use this title anymore. Cheng Song can't bear it." The middle-aged man with a sickly pale complexion had an embarrassing but touched wry smile on his face. It sets off the skinny bones, and the slightly high beard under the cheekbones seems to have just been trimmed. Although it is neat, there is always a little bit of incongruity. Shuo, I have never had the opportunity to visit again, and for more than ten years, things have changed."
The thin man's words were full of sadness, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes, apparently recalling some sad past.
This Taiye Pond is a large artificial lake excavated by the former kings. It was formed by drawing water from the Han River. There are Yingzhou, Penglai and Fangzhang mountains in the pool, and strange birds and beasts such as ichthyosaurs are carved with gold and stone. With luxuriant water and grass beside the pool, flocks of birds and birds on the flat sand, and beautiful scenery, it was a recreational resort for the former kings. Going east to the Han River, there is the famous Baqiao bridge, which is a famous Fengyue area in the Kansai region. It is surrounded by willow trees. In spring, catkins dance in groups like snowflakes in the wind. Chinese and Chinese people often see off their guests and travel eastward here. Folding willows for farewell, so it is also known as Xiaohun Bridge. In the past, poets had the phrase "the willows are beautiful every year, and Baling hurts farewell".
Seeing that his casual words brought back the sad past of the other party, the young man also felt a little regretful. The other party has been in prison for many years, his wife, children and children have all died in the war, and he has become a lonely family. , so as not to spoil the interest of the conversation.
The thin man spoke suddenly and the other party was silent, and then he woke up from the sentimentality, and said lightly: "Your Highness, don't worry about Cheng Song. Since Cheng Song can live in prison for many years, he has seen many kinds of hardships in the world. The only thing to do is to worry about Cheng Song." I'm afraid it will be difficult to knock down Cheng Song, but the world has been turned upside down in the past few days, and it's hard to get used to it for a while."
The young man is Li Wufeng who has been named King of Qin by the central government of the Tanghe Empire, and this thin and thin man is one of Wufeng's gains from the Hejian Prefecture - the former city guard of Hejian Prefecture Fang Chengsong. Fang Chengsong was at odds with Tan Keren, the governor of Heshuo County, his superior, and was framed by Tan Keren and imprisoned on the eve of the Taiping Sect's uprising. Later, the Taiping Sect swept Heshuo, and Tan Keren fled in a hurry. Fang Chengsong was thrown into the prison of Hejian Prefecture. No one cared about it, and after Taipingjiao people took over Hejian, Yu Yongzhi and others were busy making money and controlling the territory, and they didn't bother to ask the prisoners in this big prison, so the former city guard was put on hold in this prison Day after day, some important prisoners from the Taiping Sect were thrown into the Hejian Prison. For the remaining mortals, because there was no one to make decisions, they simply rushed to the place where the minor offenders were located in the outer court, and cleaned, boiled water and cooked food on a daily basis. That's how it went day by day.
Wufeng had heard that Fang Chengsong, the city guard of Hejian, was a Heshuo genius when the city guards marched westward. Hejian, who was later promoted to the city guard of Hejian, transformed Hejian Mansion from a chaotic place full of bandits and economic depression into a veritable capital of Heshuo in five years. The people of Jinzhong Mansion and Hejian all spoke highly of their city guards. It's a pity that although this person is pragmatic and honest, he is at odds with Tan Keren, the governor of Heshuo County. People started an incident in Heshuo, and Heshuo fell in a blink of an eye until the Northwest Army entered Hejian.
"Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Therefore, they must be motivated to endure and strengthen what they cannot." Wufeng patted the other party's shoulder lightly, with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Since Brother Cheng Song can endure such hardships, he must also accept various heavy responsibilities. The current situation in the empire is dangerous, with frequent invasions from foreign enemies and internal turmoil. Too urgent, this king would like to ask Brother Cheng Song to help me save the people from the fire and water, I don't know what Brother Cheng Song wants?"
In fact, Fang Chengsong had already expected that the other party would rescue him from prison, and he traveled thousands of miles from the river to return to Hanzhong. But it also makes him, who has always believed in receiving the favor of dripping water from others, and takes the spring of water as his creed, to be caught in the other party's network of love, and he can vaguely guess the other party's thoughts and intentions. But no matter what, the other party's good intentions also made him remember in his heart. Logically, a prisoner like himself who had been convicted and imprisoned before the fall of the enemy had no room for recovery, especially when the situation in Heshuo was so bad. No one can explain clearly what happened back then.
In fact, from the moment he was freed, Fang Chengsong tried his best to understand the situation in the empire as soon as possible. Newspapers, magazines, and discussions with soldiers and officials around him became the main way for him to grasp the current situation. Already have a general understanding of the entire empire situation.
It is more appropriate to say that His Royal Highness King Qin is not so much a prince of a foreign vassal as he is already a prince who controls half of the empire. In addition, he also took control of the countries in the Western Regions, Northern Luzon, and Myanmar that were not even reached in the heyday of the empire, and even the unruly nomadic barbarians on the Tengger Grassland prostrated at his feet. Even children can see that the King of Qin has in fact completely escaped the control of the central government of the Tanghe Empire and monopolized the western frontier, and the future trend of the Tanghe Empire will depend largely on the King of Qin. Wink act.
And the powerful military strength controlled by His Royal Highness King Qin is unmatched by other parties in the empire. Only with the support of His Royal Highness the King of Qin can he survive under the majesty of the Machi Khan army. Should he choose this towering tree as his shelter in the next life?
Seeing that the opponent seemed to be hesitant, Wufeng didn't force the opponent, but just slowed down along the edge of the pool. In fact, he has done quite a lot of research on this person, and he already has a good understanding of his temperament. He is born as a commoner but yearns for success, and he is not afraid of power but hopes to show his ability in governance. On the contrary, he doesn't pay much attention to it. Whoever can give him a stage to display his talents is the biggest factor for him to be willing to contribute.
Sighing faintly, Fang Chengsong drooped his eyelids, thought for a while, raised his head and smiled wryly after a long while: "Your Highness has done so much for Cheng Song, and Cheng Song has nothing in his body, so why should he repay the king's kindness? There is only one body." It's just that Cheng Song doesn't know much about military affairs, and only gets a little income from government affairs. I hope I can share some trivial matters for His Highness, that's all."
A wave of enthusiasm surged through Wufeng's chest, all kinds of pretentiousness are due to the other party's words, the lack of talents has made Wufeng worry to the point of scratching his head, and there is no shortage of military generals themselves~IndoMTL.com~ Fang Chengsong's performance in Hejian Mansion is a strong proof of this, and the other side is still achieved under the suppression of the superiors.
"Hehehehe, with Brother Cheng Song's help, it is better than this king to get a land in Hejian!" Li Wufeng couldn't suppress the joy in his chest, and he grinned loudly, "The gain of the Hejian battle is not to get a land. It's because of the help of Brother Cheng Song!"
Seeing the joy from the heart of the other party, even though Fang Chengsong was mentally prepared for the other party to recruit him from the very beginning, he was still deeply moved. move.
"Your Highness, you are too praised. Cheng Song entered Kansai from Tianshui, and traveled all the way. What he saw and heard, the people and gentry all wholeheartedly supported His Highness's actions in Kansai. The barren land in the northwest, in just a few years, With the rise of the West Frontier, the land outside Lianhua has surrendered to His Highness's prestige, which shows that His Highness has so many talents, Cheng Song only hopes to be able to do his part in the last seat of His Highness and be satisfied." Although Fang Chengsong was pleased to receive such praise from the other party, But he is quite self-aware. The other party can manage such a large territory with great fanfare. Of course, he has a group of capable people and strangers under him. He is just a newcomer, so he should stick to his duty and behave in a low-key manner.
"Cheng Song, you don't have to be overly cautious. This king hates those who can envy virtuous people the most. It doesn't matter if you are incompetent. If you lose even virtue, that is what this king can't tolerate. Although everyone under this king has different personalities However, he is not very picky in terms of conduct, please bear this in mind, Brother Cheng Song." There was something in Wu Feng's words, and Fang Chengsong was also interested in what he listened to.
After solemnly bowing and saluting, Fang Chengsong said solemnly, "Your Highness's words will be kept in mind."
