Chapter 82 Anger (1)
Chapter 82 Anger and Worry (1)
August.
The rain began to fall mistyly again.
Song Xinyou looked out the window and saw that it was raining outside, and the corridors and gardens were shrouded in a thin layer of mist. He wanted to open the window because the room was filled with a smell of herbs mixed with incense.
But thinking about the treasure in my stomach, I didn't dare to act rashly, so I could only rest and just ask: "What are the general doing now?"
"The general is playing chess with Mr. Lu Yulu!" Su'er spoke with her on Song Xinyou's soft couch to relieve her boredom, and she was talking at this time.
When Song Xinyou heard this, he nodded and smiled.
At this time, there was a chessboard in the study room, covered with black and white chess pieces.
Wang Hongyi likes chess very much, but this really requires talent. In the past and later years, this talent is not very good. Of course, there is also a factor of no integration.
Now that memory and power are gradually absorbed and improved, although this chess skill has grown a little bit, it is not enough to see it.
Lu Yu's chess was peaceful and upright. He set up a net of heaven and earth with a dignified and upright teacher, and set up a ten-sided ambush in an invisible place, but it was in line with Wang Hongyi's temperament. After playing a few games, he often realized something.
Outside the window, the wind and drizzle were drizzling, and in the room, the two of them sat by the window, and the fragrance of tea was everywhere. This was really enjoying life.
At this moment, a guard stepped forward and said, "Song Ziye asked to see the general!"
"Song Ziye?" Wang Hongyi was a little surprised.
This wife and brother-in-law is the heir to the Song family. He is usually a little arrogant, so why do you want to meet him now?
I thought about it this way, but immediately said: "Transfer!"
A rain brought autumn to a little in advance. Walking in the mansion, the originally uneven stone slabs gave people a smooth feeling after being wet. A few bunches of pink and white flowers were blooming, and the slightly cool and humid air was sucked into the lungs and abdomen, making the heart feel refreshed.
But at this time, Song Ziye was walking in a hurry without any interest.
I came once during the wedding, but this time I came, but the situation changed drastically. I saw the rain and the long green vines and leaves that were not airtight on the wall were covered with airtight.
The corridor was empty and wide, and from time to time, I saw the guards standing with their hands hanging down. The general's mansion was ruled by the law mansion. I saw the guards standing straight with their swords and standing straight, and there was no sound of coughing up phlegm.
The guards leading the way in front led the way, and only heard the sound of boots under their feet, which made them even more silent. In just one year, this majesty was completely different.
Although Song Ziye was full of worries, he gradually calmed down when facing this majesty.
When he arrived at a yard and went in, the guard said, "Young Master Song, wait a moment, I'll report to the general."
Song Ziye had no choice but to wait. After a while, the guard came out: "Please come in!"
When I got inside, I was the study room, which had a large window. At this time, Wang Hongyi was playing chess calmly.
Song Ziye just glanced at it and saw that Wang Hongyi had a very different temperament at this time. His face was covered with a smooth and smooth forehead. This was a manifestation of sufficient energy and smoothness. On the face, he said that this was a strange phenomenon.
A man opposite was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, wearing a green wide-sleeved robe, with a majestic and peaceful manners, but he ignored himself and was thinking hard.
At this time, Song Ziye came up and threw himself in front of Wang Hongyi. He kowtowed his head repeatedly and cried: "I would like to ask my brother-in-law to save my father, and I would like to ask my brother-in-law to save my father!"
Hearing this, Wang Hongyi was shocked. The chess piece he picked up was slightly stopped in the air, then put it back into the chess bowl, and said, "Mr. Lu, you're rude, let's stop this chess!"
Turning around, she helped Song Ziye, but Song Ziye refused and knelt on the ground: "Brother-in-law, save my father!"
Wang Hongyi couldn't help frowning, feeling a little unhappy, calmed down and said, "Get up quickly, there is something to say, there is no need to do this. If you don't say it, how can I know the inside story?"
Song Ziye is a big brother after all, and he can't act like a slut, so he has to get up.
Lu Yu held the chess piece and looked at it. The young man looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a pair of almond eyes on his slightly curved face. He was indeed very handsome.
"You sit down first. If you have something to do, just talk slowly. No matter how urgent the matter is, you can't be anxious for this moment." Wang Hongyi said.
Song Ziye bowed again, his eyes full of tears: "Brother-in-law, Wei Cundong from Chengdu, has taken action against our Song family."
"Oh?" Wang Hongyi was shocked and stood up and took a few steps: "How is the situation?"
"Three days before the action, my father and second uncle got the news. Second uncle left Chengdu on the excuse of collecting money, and met the person who was recalled halfway. Second uncle had a family soldier and did not go back."
"I heard the news later that Wei Cundong had confiscated my Song family, a total of seventeen shops in three counties in Chengdu, and seventy-three people including my father."
"This guy said on the grounds of seeking rebellion that we are the relatives of the thief and will be executed together next month. He also asked his brother-in-law to save my father and my tribe members!" After that, Song Ziye pounced down again and kowtowed.
After hearing this, Wang Hongyi pondered and said slowly: "With Hongze Town, I want to send troops to rescue me too much. Besides, the people are in Wei Cundong's hands. Even if they send troops now, they can't save people. You calm down first. I think Wei Cundong will not be like this. Isn't he afraid of going to do anything and no way out?"
"Don't panic like this, where is your uncle?"
"My uncle has been running overnight, and for two days and one night, he has arrived in Wenyang Mansion. He is tired and has suffered the rain. He can't see his brother-in-law for a while, so he asks for help from his brother-in-law."
Wang Hongyi sat on the chair, listened with a tilt, but didn't say anything. After waiting for a while, he said, "I'll find a way to do this. It's not a big deal for you now... Go back first, I'll call the ministers to discuss this matter today."
"By the way, you were here to meet my wife, but she is now raising a baby for five months and cannot get angry. The news is blocked first, so there is no need to say more."
Seeing that Wang Hongyi refused to agree to send troops to rescue immediately and blocked the news of his sister, Song Ziye felt a fire burning in his heart, and he was about to spit out the fire. He wanted to stand up and scold Wang Hongyi for being ruthless and innocent, but finally he was still rational and held back.
I had to bow my hand and go down.
Seeing him leave, Wang Hongyi was a little unhappy. He understood that if his father was captured, this would be the same in life and death.
But Wang Hongyi was just a relative in-laws after all. According to ancient rules, although the Wang and Song families were in-laws or two, strictly speaking, they were even outsiders.
Moreover, Wang Hongyi is the lord of the two counties, and it is involved in military and political affairs. Song Ziye wants to send troops as soon as he begs. Is Song Ziye confused? Or is Wang Hongyi confused?
However, after all, Song Ziye was young and was very grateful for his father and family’s anxiety. After thinking about it, he would forget it and said, “Come on, please ask Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi to discuss matters.”
At this time, Lu Yu originally wanted to leave but couldn't find a chance, so he quickly bowed and said, "Since the general is in trouble, I'll take it back."
"Oh, Mr. Lu, please take care of yourself. I'm in a mess now!" Wang Hongyi said, watching Lu Yu leave, and paced back and forth.
After a while, the two of them hurriedly came in with an umbrella, and someone handed over a towel. Both of them changed into wooden clogs, wiped their faces, and removed the rain.
"Just just now, my wife and brother Song Ziye came in and cried, wanting to save my father-in-law." Wang Hongyi did not sit like usual, stood on the ground and paced back and forth, playing with a small paper town in his hand: "It was Wei Cundong who took action and confiscated the Song family. There were 17 stores in three counties in Chengdu, including my father-in-law, and all of them were beheaded next month for the crime of rebellion."
Neither of them thought it was this and did not dare to speak. It was an ancient saying that people with distant relationships did not participate in those who were close to each other.
Many ministers forget this and die and die.
The room was quiet, and Wang Hongyi didn't care. He said, "Sit down and talk. There are no outsiders here, only the three of us, and even my wife doesn't know what to do today's discussion... Just talk straight."
As he said that, he turned his face and walked to the chair and sat down. He served tea and tasted it. Seeing that he had not spoken yet, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "How is the farmland and warehouse situation this year?"
Yu Liangbo hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord, I have checked my household registration and other household registrations, and the reclaimed wasteland has also been reclaimed, but the people in our two counties are not quite dense."
"The wheat harvested this summer is pretty good, but the time for cultivation is still short. Since we have to expand our military and prepare for war, not much surplus grain has flowed to the people. Through merchants, we purchase foreign grain for reserves, and the price of grain has also risen to half a cent of silver!"
After hearing this, Wang Hongyi nodded and asked again: "What about military information?"
"Lord, the 24th Battalion is training now, and it is already a little bit. Next month, you can get half of the soldiers and train for another time. By the New Year, you will almost have them."
"The information summarized by the Paper Armor Division has now been made 2,000 more sets. It is expected that in March next year, 20,000 sets of paper Armor will be collected."
After hearing this, Wang Hongyi's face changed from solemnity to relax, and nodded and said, "Very good, I'm very happy to hear it. Only with the confidence can we debate... Tell me, what should I do now?"
Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi pondered for a moment, and saw that Wang Hongyi's eyes were bright, so they had to speak.
Yu Liangbo sighed and said, "General, this use of troops is about accumulating strength. I am so kind of polite. The general will only manage the two counties for a year. Even if there is a sign of heaven, it will take some time for this person to be at peace. It is the Chinese New Year and three harvests, and this mind will be at peace. Now it is not the time to send troops."
"It's not just the time? The people's hearts are not stable and the army's morale is not unified. The new recruits in the 24th Battalion seem to be well trained, but they have not had half a year of barracks' life, and they will be in chaos as soon as they go on the battlefield!" Zhang Youzhi hurriedly said, "Besides, how can we fight in Chengdu? Chengdu is originally thicker than us. Not to mention this, to fight, Hongze Town must be pulled out - this Hongze Town is not easy to pull out? If you accidentally force Du Gongzhen to surrender to Wei Cundong, it was called ambushing from all sides!"
