Turbulent Times Chapter 1006: The general of Zhonglang Zhao Chen
Seeing Wang Junlin's hands sliding down against his waist again, the calluses on his palms gliding over his satin-like skin, his heart felt crisp and numb, and he still wanted to be favored, but his body couldn't bear it any longer, so he could only change his words Begging for mercy, Wang Junlin remembered that he really had to meet Zhao Chen and Pei Yanmao today, so he let her go, stopped being greedy, and sat up looking for the clothes at the foot of the bed.
Chen Danying endured the weakness of his body, put on a shirt and wanted to get up, Wang Junlin said: "Sleep for a while..."
"Is there any reason for you to wake up while my concubine is still asleep?" Chen Danying said, "I'll wait for you to scrub your body, and it's nothing to make Zhao Chen and Pei Yanmao wait a little longer..." Drenched in sweat The towel scrubbed Wang Junlin's body, but her clothes were draped obliquely, revealing a large piece of white skin, which made Wang Junlin's blood boil and almost got under the bed again, fighting again.
…
…
Yu Wenshu's actions were quick. The day after Wang Junlin's memorial was approved and replied by Yang Guang and the court, Zhao Chen, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was appointed as the general of the Fanyang County Navy and arrived in Fanyang County.
Yu Wenshu also understood in his heart that Wang Junlingui was the Duke of the county, with a great reputation, outstanding military exploits, and powerful methods, and was trusted by His Majesty. The county contends with Wang Junlin.
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War is already an important minister of the imperial court, ranking in the third rank, and even higher than Wang Junlin in terms of official rank. Yu Wenshu persuaded Yang Guang by saying that the next step in the conquest of Goguryeo, Fanyang County's navy would be of great use, Shengsheng raised the official rank of Zhonglang General of Fanyang County Navy to one level.
In addition, Zhao Chen inherited his father's title of duke, which is the same as Wang Junlin's title, so Yu Wenshu tried to send his confidant Zhao Chen over.
In Yu Wenshu's view, only by such an arrangement can Wang Junlin be suppressed a little bit, and Wang Junlin will not control the navy.
Wang Junlin was not interested in picking up Zhao Chen, but he was accompanied by Pei Yanmao, an imperial envoy sent by Yang Guang to Silla. It is the submissive Silla Kingdom.
Pei Yanmao is a direct descendant of Wenxi's Pei family and Pei Yuanqing's cousin. For Pei Yuanqing's sake, Wang Junlin also wants to give him a warm reception.
So, after breakfast, Wang Junlin took Zhao Zhanpeng, Du Ruhui, Shan Xiongxin and others to transfer five hundred soldiers to Gu'an County to meet with Yingyang Mansion Lang Jiang Xue Li, Gu'an County Magistrate Cui Shijie and other Fanyang County County officials meet.
Zhao Chen and his party did not have many carriages, but Pei Yanmao brought a large number of gifts from Yang Guang to Silla. There were more than 30 carriages and horses, so they walked slowly. Zhao Chen and his party arrived first, and they were almost waiting For half an hour, it happened to be at the place where Wang Junlin was assassinated by a thousand cavalry in Fanyang County last year.
"I was delayed by an urgent matter, so I welcome you late. I hope General Zhao Lang will have a large number. Don't be offended!" Wang Junlin changed into a purple official robe and rode on a blood-maned horse to speak to Xue Li. Zhao Chen clasped his fists and saluted in greeting.
Zhao Chen's rank is the same as Wang Junlin's, but his official rank is one level higher, and he is seven or eight years older than Wang Junlin, so Wang Junlin should also salute him.
Zhao Chen is thirty-seven or eighteen years old. He has a long, thin, fair face, a few strands of goatee beard, and is also wearing a purple official robe. Let others know that he is the biggest official in Fanyang County.
His grandfather, Zhao Wenkuo, was a former general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and a county duke. A young man.
When Yu Wenshu first gained power in the court, many people sat on the fence and watched. In the past two years, Yu Wenshu has completely established his foothold in the center. . This Zhao Chen was one of them, and of course he took refuge in secret.
Yang Guang set his eyes on the whole world, staring at the Turks and Goguryeo tens of thousands of miles away, as well as the armies of various border counties and prefectures, but he was in the dark under the lights, and he couldn't see the factions and cliques around him. It is clear that Yu Wenshu has always been regarded as the number one confidant and loyal minister. This made those opportunistic officials abandon their previous positions and secretly take refuge in Yuwenshu.
Three days before Zhao Chen came, Xu Jingzong wrote a letter to Wang Junlin, and sent a messenger to send Zhao Chen's information to Fanyang County, so Wang Junlin knew Zhao Chen's details very well.
Zhao Chen waited here for Wang Junlin for more than half an hour, and only saw Wang Junlin's figure after Pei Yanmao and his convoy arrived. How could he have a lot of adults in his heart? Glancing at Wang Junlin, and then seeing Wang Junlin bringing five or six hundred soldiers to meet him, he said with a smirk: "Mr. Qin An is busy with government affairs, and I know it well. If you blame you for such a trivial matter, it would seem like a big deal." I am narrow-minded and do not understand... the difficulty of being an official..."
In Zhao Chen's words, he specifically named Wang Junlin as one level lower than him in official rank, Wang Junlin didn't mind, and he liked this person more and more in his heart. After all, what he wanted most was for the navy to be controlled by a fool with no city. see the situation.
Looking at the three hundred guards brought by Zhao Chen, Wang Junlin asked with a smile: "I would like to ask, I wonder how much money Zhao Lang will bring from the capital..."
"Your Majesty and Lord Yuwen are both worried about the reconstruction of the Fanyang County Navy, so this time I specially asked me to bring one hundred thousand taels of payment." Zhao Chen raised his head and said: "This is still the first payment, and I will wait for the official to understand the situation of the Navy. Afterwards, the scale of the navy will be expanded depending on the situation, and the royal salary will increase..."
"Thank you so much." Wang Junlin said ecstatically, "The navy's three-month military salary and rice grain have all been borrowed from the county's treasury. I dare to ask Mr. Zhao, where is the money? My lords, you have come from afar, you have worked very hard, we can do it ourselves!"
"Wang Junlin, you are so courageous, do you want to hijack this official?" Zhao Chen's face turned livid, and only then did he realize that Wang Junlin brought five or six hundred soldiers over. money grabber.
As soon as Pei Yanmao and his party got off the carriage, they saw Wang Junlin leading the soldiers to grab Zhao Chen's money.
Zhao Chen thought that Wang Junlin could be overwhelmed by the first rank of the official, but he was wrong. Wang Junlin's situation made it clear that Zhao Chen would not want to enter Fanyang County if he didn't give money.
"General Zhao Lang, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm lying to you?" Wang Junlin stared at Zhao Chen sideways, with a cold face, snorted coldly, and asked unceremoniously .
