Chapter 780 Wu Song’s wedding! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
In the Xiandu City Post House, several officials from Liaodong County arranged for Song Xian to stay according to etiquette.
Although Song Xian was in a state of embarrassment, the envoys of the imperial court were very polite. Either they thought the tea was too hot or the clerks in the posthouse were indifferent, so they didn't know how to help clean his mount.
When talking about mounts, Song Xian pretended to say:
"This horse is my beloved thing. The reason why I came all the way from Chang'an to this poor place like yours is entirely dependent on this horse. I must take good care of it and make sure nothing is lost."
After finishing speaking, he quietly asked several employees:
"My beloved horse is in the inn, won't it be stolen?"
The eyes of several officials in the county magistrate's office were filled with contempt:
"Don't worry, sir. Horses are just common things here and no one will care about them."
Where are we? At the border, where there are more horses than people, you are actually worried about stealing horses. Are the court envoys too petty?
After drinking tea, Song Xian ordered the servants in the post house to boil water so that he could take a bath and change clothes.
While taking a shower, this guy even pretended to move his luggage into the bathroom, for fear that others would notice him. This behavior was even more despicable.
But according to etiquette, the few servants could not leave and had to accompany the envoy.
They had nothing to do and came to the stable in the backyard to see what was different about the horse that the envoy was thinking about.
At this moment, the groom in the backyard was cleaning the mud from the horse. When he saw them coming, he pointed to the three characters Gongsun Zan carved on the saddle.
"Is this Gongsun Bogui's horse?"
"This horse is all white and has a strong body. It is indeed a BMW, but why is Gongsun Zan's name engraved on it?"
A few people thought hard for a while and quickly came up with the answer:
"It should be that the envoy passed by Youbeiping County and obtained this horse from Gongsun Bogui through some unknown means. It is nonsense to say that he rode it all the way from Chang'an!"
Before seeing the imperial envoy, they actually had some expectations for the imperial court, thinking that the Han Dynasty might still be able to revive.
When I met the envoy, I discovered that the imperial court had already become powerful on the outside but weak on the inside... The envoys sent to various places could not even form a guard of honor, and they even had to ask for their mounts from the local governor.
What hope is there for such a court?
Soon, the news reached Gongsun Du:
"The horse he is riding is actually Gongsun Bogui's horse? Isn't this too detrimental to the national integrity? Slaughter a few sheep, and I will invite the envoy to eat the mutton in the evening."
Whether you are pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger or whether you are a strong person but a strong person, you can tell after a meal.
Gongsun Kang asked:
"Father, if this envoy is shabby, it is better to capture him directly and cut down the sacrificial flag, just to appease the Wuhuan people who came to seek refuge."
Gongsun Du glanced at his son and said seriously:
"Kang'er, use your brain in everything. Killing this person will make the court lose face, so that the princes will be hostile and the court will bear grudges... The more shabby he is, the more he will entertain; the more depressed he is, the more he will give gifts. A generous gift, so that after he returns, he will promote the virtues of Liaodong and weaken the hostility of the princes and the court. "
Gongsun Kang didn't expect to be able to operate like this, and asked tentatively:
"What if there are hills and valleys inside this person?"
Gongsun Du said:
"Then kill him. Send someone to Jixian to report the news, saying that the envoy fell ill and died in Liaodong... The more capable the person, the clearer his mind. We can't win over him, so it's better to kill him directly."
Gongsun Du is over fifty this year. He has served as a minister in the imperial court and as the governor of Jizhou. He has rich experience and a flexible political mind.
Relatively speaking, Gongsun Kang, who grew up in Liaodong since childhood, was almost indifferent. He had never been to the Central Plains, had never experienced the vastness of the Han Dynasty, and his thinking about things had the straightforwardness and simplicity of a border man.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gongsun Du planned to give a few words to this successor, so as not to be unable to take over the Liaodong Foundation in the future.
In the evening, Gongsun Du cooked a large pot of mutton and entertained Song Xian.
Song Xian was wearing a patched official robe, and his eyes immediately lit up when he saw the meat. However, he still put on an air and said that the year of great disaster was too much, while pretending to take out a piece of wheat cake from his arms.
Wheat cake is a kind of dry food made by coarsely grinding wheat, kneading it into dough, and then steaming it. It tastes very rough and is usually used by poor people to satisfy their hunger.
Gongsun Du said:
"If you have enough mutton tonight, why don't you, the envoy of Song Dynasty, want to eat wheat cakes?"
Song Xian shook his head and refused:
"This is what your Majesty gave me. He said that the court is in difficulty and reminds me not to forget the kindness of the court... When I see this thing, I think of your majesty's sincere teachings."
He reminisced about it, took a bite of the wheat cake, then held up a piece of mutton with both hands and said:
"We are tired of eating mutton like this every day in Chang'an. If the prefect had not invited us, Song would not have wanted to eat it."
He said this, but his eyes were fixed on the mutton, and he made a swallowing motion. All the attendants covered their faces and smiled. They had never seen such an envoy who didn't mean what he said.
What Song Xian was holding was a piece of lamb shank. He lowered his head and took a bite. He started to swallow it without even chewing. He finished the piece of lamb shank in two breaths.
When Gongsun Du saw this scene, the smile on his face became obviously thicker, and he also ordered his son Gongsun Kang to personally sift the wine for the envoy.
What does it mean to be tired of eating? It's obviously because I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so much so that I even have to lick the grease on my hands.
The imperial court is worse than imagined. The opportunity for my Liaodong Gongsun clan has come!
The more exaggerated Song Xian's meat-eating movements were, the happier Gongsun Du was. In the end, he even asked several Goguryeo women to come in and dance to add to the fun.
Song Xian had a hard time along the way. He just climbed out of one mud pit and fell into another mud pit. He was hungry and full after eating. Now that he suddenly saw mutton, he felt like he was dying.
But there is also a pity, this lamb should have some chive sauce and onions to make it taste better.
I thought that when I came here, I would need to quarrel with the scholars and show off their tricks, but I didn't expect that I would only have to play a fool who has never seen the world. If I had known about it, I would have recommended Cao Xing. This piece of shit doesn't need to act at all, he is just a second-rate fool.
After eating and drinking, Song Xian was helped back by several officials from the county governor's office. Gongsun Duping stepped back and said to his son Gongsun Kang and his confidants:
"It seems that the imperial court is indeed in the dark. We must seize the time to seize more people and land. We may not be able to conquer the Central Plains and conquer the world in the future!"
The confidants quickly knelt down on one knee to show their loyalty:
"I am willing to follow my lord to conquer all directions and make great achievements!"
Gongsun Du began to make arrangements in an orderly manner:
"If I send people to Buyeo as envoys, if they are willing to be my vassals, I will marry my daughter to the king of Buyeo, Weiqoutai, as a show of favor."
"Anyone who sends someone to Goguryeo as an envoy and does not obey my orders will be killed!"
"Collect ships from Liaodong, Lelang and other places, assemble a large army, occupy the islands from Liaodong to Donglai County, cross the sea to occupy Donglai, and rename it Yingzhou. After capturing this place, they will sweep through the counties of Qingzhou, and then capture Jizhou. At the same time, Liao marches from east to west and captures Liaoxi and Youbeiping. When the two armies join together, the north is at your fingertips! ”
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he even thought about the name of the country.
Gongsun Kang's blood boiled when he heard this, and he said that he would start raising ships tonight to cross the sea and occupy Donglai County.
It is summer now, and the swamps are blocking the way. Taking advantage of this gap to capture Donglai County without anyone noticing will definitely surprise the princes of the Central Plains.
While we were sharpening our swords here and preparing to expand our territory and become king, in the real world, in the small conference room of the hotel, the commanders and counselors from all the worlds gathered together.
Li Jing, Guo Jia, Liu Bei, Cai Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Lu Bu, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Shimin, Liu Xie, Zhang Fei, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Li Fengyang, Mu Guiying...
Jia Xu held the thermos cup and sat at the top:
"Strictly speaking, this is a meeting of the Three Kingdoms world, the Sui and Tang world, the Water Margin world, and the Yang Family Romance world. It does not involve gods, so the Journey to the West world and the Fengshen world will not participate."
Li Jing finally understood why when the meeting was called, His Majesty Zi Shou went out to the snack street with Zhao Dahu, Sun Facai, Master Xuandu and others. It turned out that they had nothing to do.
Jia Xu said:
"Now all the worlds are at war. It was originally planned to take over the territory of China within five years, but now Master Tiandao has not obtained the authority of Heaven, so we have to speed up the process and let Master Tiandao obtain the authority of Heaven. In this way, the world in the book Development will be more stable.”
If Brother Dao doesn't get the power, everyone will have no peace for a day, because it really pushes the law of heaven to the edge, and he will just kill the fish and kill the net, which is not good for anyone.
As for how to help Brother Dao win the power of heaven, after several days of speculation, Jia Xu felt that rebuilding a unified country would be of great help to Brother Dao.
A unified country not only means that the national destiny is strong, but also that all settings can be modified.
For example, divine thrones such as the Jade Emperor can be simply canceled as human emperors. Immortals can be re-canonized, the origin, development, authority, and divine status of the immortals can be formulated to reduce the control of heaven.
The more the original plot changes, the weaker Tiandao's control becomes, while Brother Dao is the opposite. The more everyone struggles, the stronger Brother Dao's control becomes.
In view of this, Jia Xu planned to hold a meeting, plan to unite several worlds, concentrate superior forces, and directly launch a large-scale attack. Yuwen Chengdu said:
"According to the current advancement speed, before the winter of the Three Kingdoms world begins, we can wipe out all the territory north of the Yangtze River. The remaining Jingzhou and Yangzhou are also being eaten away by our army, so there is nothing to worry about... If we go to other worlds to fight , we can support some of the troops.”
Although Guo Jia was usually jovial, he was extremely serious now. He held a pen in his right hand and quickly recorded Yuwen Chengdu's words and gave some analysis.
For example, how to fight the remaining battles between Yanzhou and Yuzhou, how to deal with Guangling County at the junction of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, etc., are all considered.
The top strategist of the Three Kingdoms has such a strong brain.
Li Jing said:
"We have now captured most of the counties in Shanxi. If the Three Kingdoms World can support a group of troops, I can capture Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other places within half a year. As for Guanzhong, we still need to wait and see."
If there are enough men and horses, Li Jing can go straight to Zhendingfu from Jingxing, to Yecheng from Fukou Pass, to Huazhou of Weizhou from Baixing, and to Luoyang from Taihangxing.
In short, as long as there are enough manpower, military god Li Jing will show everyone the essence of large-corps operations and multi-front operations.
Liu Bei spoke on behalf of Water Margin and Yue Shijie:
"We have enough manpower, but it has not been made public yet, and the agrarian revolution in various places has not yet been carried out. If nothing unexpected happens, we can directly proclaim ourselves emperor in half a year, and then use a great war to declare the founding of the Han Dynasty."
Mu Guiying weakly raised her white and tender hands:
"When will our Great Zhou Empire be established?"
Jia Xu thought for a while and said:
"We can remove some of the troops and defeat the world of Yang Family Mansion first. Now that all the generals of the Yang family have joined Muke Village, no matter whether it is the Liao Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, there are no capable generals, so we can push forward... Let Gongsun Zan’s troops in western Liaoning or Zhang Liao’s troops in the northern expedition go to Yang Family Mansion to help.”
Lu Bu reminded:
"Meng Qi has been responsible for building roads and docks in Donglai recently. How about letting him go too?"
Jia Xu nodded:
"Okay, but don't inform him for the time being. This kid is still a little impetuous. He thinks about making meritorious deeds all day long. Let's take advantage of the road construction to practice, so as not to become a warrior who doesn't like to use his brain again when he becomes an adult."
Soon, everyone set the tone.
The World of the Three Kingdoms detached a force of soldiers and horses to help Mukezhai conquer the world, and provided a batch of weapons for support to the World of Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Water Margin says that after Yue Shijie captured Youzhou, Zhao Yun and Lu Junyi led their troops across the border to help fight in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
There were many famous generals in the world during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was just in time for Zhao Yun to recruit people for him. By the way, the people over there could experience Yun Danu's style.
While planning the world in the conference room, Li Yu held Dundun in his arms and played billiards in the hotel's entertainment room. Brother Dao was not interested in this kind of game. He squatted in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside quietly.
Lin Xu looked at the photos with everyone and sighed:
"They are all important figures who have left their names in history. It would be great if these photos could be made public."
Li Yu said:
"You can make it public if you want, but no one will believe it anyway... By the way, Dundun, the wedding is over tomorrow, how about you go to the book world? Let me reward the innate spiritual treasures who have worked hard recently."
"Meow~~"
Dundun raised his furry paw and patted Li Yu's hand, sealing the deal!
Lin Xu looked at the time, went to the hotel kitchen, opened the steaming cabinet, and brought out a tray full of steamed venison. He went all the way to the entertainment room and placed it in front of Brother Dao:
"Brother Dao, please upgrade quickly. I'm waiting to travel to the book world. Just tell me what you want to eat and I can cook it for you."
Now that he has come into contact with fairy-level ingredients, Lin Xu's cooking skills have improved even more, and the system tasks he is connected to have also become fantasy.
Dundun smelled the smell of meat, jumped down from the billiard table, and enjoyed the delicious food together with their heads touching.
Speaking of ingredients, Li Yu asked:
"Do you want shiitake mushrooms? There are a lot of shiitake mushrooms grown in the underworld. It took me several days to deliver more than a thousand kilograms. There are still several thousand kilograms piled in the warehouse. If you want them, you can find a car to take them away."
< br>
Lin Xu is really interested:
"Is there any harm to our people here if they eat it?"
"No, on the contrary, it has miraculous effects on restlessness, insomnia, dreaminess, neurasthenia, palpitations, convulsions, etc. Using the setting of the world in the book, it can increase the stability of the soul and make it more energetic."
Lin Xu said:
"Such a good ingredient, I'll round it up."
After Jia Xu's meeting ended, Li Yu made arrangements for everyone's tasks tomorrow, then went to the chess and card room upstairs, found Professor Zhou who was playing mahjong with his mother and asked:
"Where shall we stay tonight?"
Zhou Ruotong said:
"You can stay wherever you want. Anyway, we plan to go to the hot springs together tonight. Men are not allowed to participate. You can stay here."
Li Yu said:
"You weak women, don't you need protection?"
Mu Guiying beside her took out a throwing knife from nowhere and said while rubbing her nails:
"Husband, what are you talking about?"
Hu Sanniang also coughed slightly, indicating that she was not a weak woman.
Li Fengyang touched a card, stroked the card face with his thumb expertly, and immediately slapped it on the table:
"It's a secret, pay for it...Sir, don't worry about us. As long as the army doesn't attack, we can still deal with a few thieves."
Li Yu: "..."
Well, he was actually kicked out of the revolutionary ranks.
However, you can take your apprentices to the game room downstairs to play King of Fighters and get addicted to the game.
Early the next morning, everyone changed into Hanfu, had breakfast, and began the tedious and solemn wedding ceremony.
Li Yu arranged tasks for everyone who came to the real world. For example, the two emperors Li Shimin and Liu Xie were responsible for laying flowers, and the two empresses Changsun Wugou and Lu Lingqi supported the bride on the left and right and were responsible for guiding the way when entering.
Four handsome men, Yuwen Chengdu, Master Xuandu, Xie Yingdeng, and Yue Fei, served as best men. Zhang Fei's boss took over the job of setting off the cannons, and his son, Lu Bu, who was taller, was responsible for preparing the way for the bride.
Liu Bei and Cai Yong were elegant in appearance and good in eloquence, making them suitable for officiating and witnessing the wedding; Guan Yu and Qin Qiong were majestic and protected the bride.
Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang were both responsible for keeping accounts at the ceremony table; Jia Xu and Li Jing were thoughtful and responsible for coordinating the overall situation.
Everyone else also has their own division of labor. After finally coming to the real world, everyone has to participate. Only in this way can it be an unforgettable memory.
When they came to Hao Zhenzhen's house to pick up the bride, several groomsmen rushed in before the bridesmaids had time to block the door. Not even a red envelope was given out, but Xie Yingdeng, a man with good fortune, actually grabbed the red envelope from the woman.
Back at the hotel, Hao Zhenzhen and Wu Song worshiped heaven and earth according to the Chinese wedding ceremony. When setting up the altar table, Zhang Ping also specially placed the statues of Nuwa and Houtu.
Although the two empresses cannot feel it, the important thing is to participate.
After the lively wedding ceremony ended, before eating began, Mu Guiying planned to cash in the rewards for the innate spiritual treasures.
This matter is actually very easy to handle. Brother Dao opened a space-time door in a room upstairs. Mu Guiying hugged Dundun and traveled back to the book world. She just appeared in Muke Village with the Luobao hanging around her neck. Qian Qian flapped his little wings and came to life, and made a salute to Dun Dun.
Then, the innate spiritual treasures and treasures of merit, such as the Tai Chi Diagram, the Qingping Sword, the Book of the Earth, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the Merit Vine, the Dinghai Pearl, the Black and Yellow Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, all flew over.
Mu Guiying held a portable microphone in front of Dundun:
"Little fat cat, do you want to say a few words to everyone?"
She was joking, but Dundun actually cleared her throat and got ready to speak...
