Chapter 137: Unexpected Joy for the Moon
Hurry up and finally arrived in Wushan.
The moment Wang Henian walked off the boat, his mood was very complicated.
Since ancient times, literati and poets have had a special liking for Wushan.
There are many parts describing Wushan in poems and songs.
But in Wang Henian's eyes, Wushan is no longer a graceful girl, but a man with a tendon and fleshy body.
As an important part of the towns in Kuidong, the importance of Wushan is self-evident.
As long as the Yangtze River waterway was controlled, the Qing army in Huguang would not be able to attack Sichuan through waterways.
And it is even more terrifying to enter Sichuan by land.
The road to Shu is difficult, it is harder than climbing to the blue sky. This is not a joke.
Wang Henian knew very well about his mission in this trip, and he was a chess piece.
It seems that he cannot reflect any value on weekdays, but he is needed to help the Ming army gain local advantages at critical moments.
Wushan is Liu Tichun's residence, so Wang Henian still knows something about this.
After presenting the customs clearance documents, Wang Henian went to the Duke's Mansion to meet Liu Tichun.
Wushan County is not big, and the Duke’s Mansion is the only three-entry courtyard in the county.
Wang Henian was led by soldiers to the Duke's mansion to sort out his appearance, and then he stepped into it.
No matter what, Liu Tichun is also a Duke of the current emperor, so Wang He Nian still needs to express full respect.
Under the guidance of the butler, Wang Henian walked through the courtyard and came to the small garden of the Duke's Mansion.
Wang Henian saw a strong middle-aged man doing boxing in the garden. After confirming with the butler, he waited quietly.
After Liu Tichun finished punching, he walked forward and exclaimed while squeezing: "Duke Wan is really good, Wang admires it!"
Liu Tichun had already received the news and laughed: "This is the prince."
He knew that Wang Henian was the secret guard of the Jinyiwei, but Wang Henian was still a merchant on the surface.
Liu Tichun used the word "Young Master" to call Wang Henian very much.
"I admire the name of Duke Wan for a long time, and I saw it today and it was indeed worthy of my reputation."
"Haha, my Duke has long heard of the prince's deeds. Come here to sit down and tell me how you connected the relationship between Chongqing."
Liu Tichun pulled Wang Henian to a stone table and sat down, and wanted to listen to the details of Wang Henian's layout in Chongqing.
Wang Henian had no choice but to tell Liu Tichun in detail.
Liu Tichun listened with relish and praised him from time to time.
This made Wang Henian quite embarrassed.
"Duke of Wan, this is what happened. Actually, it's not that amazing."
After saying that, Wang Henian swallowed his spit.
"If you want to say, the one who Ming lacks is people like you. They all play guns and sticks like us, or bite pens, which is useless. One person can reduce millions of troops, and you are talking about you."
Wang Henian turned red by Liu Tichun's praise, and he didn't know what to say.
"By the way, Your Majesty will arrive in Wushan soon. Should the prince wait here?"
Wang Henian was stunned when he heard this.
"What, Your Majesty is coming to Wushan?"
He looked unbelievable and confirmed to Liu Tichun again and again: "Duke Wan said that Your Majesty is coming to Wushan?"
Liu Tichun said in surprise: "Don't you know? I also received the document a few days ago. I thought the prince was the first to serve His Majesty."
Wang Henian shook his head repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty only asked me to go to Huguang to do secret stakes, and he didn't say he was going to Wushan. Duke Wan quickly tell me what's going on."
Seeing that Wang Henian seemed to really not know, Liu Tichun explained: "Your Majesty is going to fight in Huguang in the east, and he has personally led a large army to set off from Chengdu. It will not take too long to reach Fengjie. Take a boat downstream and arrive in Wushan very quickly."
"Your Majesty is going to fight east..."
Wang Henian was completely shocked now.
When he left, His Majesty did not express this idea at all.
Of course he didn't know that this was a temporary decision made by Zhu Youlang after learning that the Qing court had completely blocked Kuidong.
The emperor had a counterattack, but of course Wang Henian could not know.
"It seems that I don't need to hurry up in such a hurry."
Wang Henian murmured.
Liu Tichun nodded and said, "Yes, I think the prince might as well stay in Wushan for a few more days, and then make plans when His Majesty arrives and asks His Majesty what he means."
He also saw that Wang Henian was a little confused, so he suggested kindly.
"Since that's the case, Wang will be bothering the Duke for a few days."
Wang Henian bowed with embarrassment.
Liu Tichun hurriedly said, "What are you talking about by your grandson? Your grandson is just a simple task. Come on, clean up a clean room for your grandson and let your grandson rest first."
The housekeeper quickly came and walked to Wang Henian and said respectfully: "Prince Wang, please."
Wang Henian nodded, thanked Liu Tichun again, and then went with the butler.
...
...
After Wang Henian left, Liu Xingming walked closer and said, "Dad, I don't think Wang Henian knows about His Majesty's Eastern Expedition. It seems that His Majesty's Eastern Expedition was a temporary intention."
Liu Tichun nodded and said, "Yes. The one who can make His Majesty decide on the Eastern Expedition temporarily is the notice of the captain."
Liu Tichun was furious when he saw the notice and directly killed the messenger, let alone the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
This is simply the most direct provocation, and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not be able to bear it.
It is naturally a good thing that the emperor attaches so much importance to the towns in Kuidong.
Liu Tichun felt that this battle could make His Majesty have more impression of his son.
"You can take advantage of the past few days to walk around with this prince. He is the emperor's confidant and Jinyiwei, so he will definitely be able to speak next to the emperor."
Liu Tichun didn't plan to let Wang Henian go. If such a big Buddha left, his old brothers would be cheaper.
"I know my dad, but he is only five or six years older than me. Is it so magical as he said? All the civil and military officials in Chongqing are kept in the dark?"
Seeing that Liu Xingming was still a little dissatisfied, Liu Tichun glared at him fiercely and said, "Look at others and look at you, you should know how to make progress, right? I don't ask you to break up the soil and become a king, I just want you to be able to keep this family business. Being with the king is like a tiger, don't cause trouble for me."
Liu Xingming said a little aggrievedly: "I know Dad, will it not be possible if I do whatever you say at that time?"
Liu Tichun sighed: "We are not the direct lineage of the official army. If we want to win the emperor's respect, we have to work harder. This emperor's east expedition is a great opportunity. You must perform well in front of His Majesty. What position our Liu family can in the Ming Dynasty in the future depends on this time."
Liu Tichun has made up his mind that he will make a comeback no matter what, he will make the emperor remember the Liu family completely.
In the future, if the emperor revives the world, he will probably learn from Emperor Taizong of Tang to build Lingyan Pavilion?
I just hope that by then, Liu Tichun will have a portrait on Lingyan Pavilion.
