Chapter 133: Renewing the Dust Collection (Part 1)
.Gangcheng, Lord Luo Anluo, the Duwei of the Diancao, had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw the princess's guard of honor, he immediately came up to meet him.
Luo An had a bright smile on his face. He greeted Princess Wuyou in the car first, then came to Zhang Chi's horse and said, "Young Master really lived up to everyone's expectations. He won the Hu people and returned triumphantly. It's a happy congratulation! It's a happy congratulation! The young master has solved the danger in Shu alone."
With perseverance brings harm, humility benefits, Zhang Chi hurriedly said humbly: "How dare you? This victory was the victory in Shu, not me, Zhang Chi."
"Young man, you're kind."
The two of them were polite, and Luo An wanted to welcome the young master to the palace, saying that the King of Chengdu had been waiting for a long time.
Princess Wuyou had been opening the curtain to talk to Zhang Chi, but when she saw Luo An coming, she put down the curtains on the fragrant car. Now she was through the gauze and couldn't see the princess's expression clearly. She only heard Princess Wuyou say in a faint tone: "Now that the young master has been welcomed to the inner city, and Lord Luo is here to greet him. Please go to the palace to see your father first. I will chat with you another day."
Zhang Chi didn't know what the ancients should say on such occasions. After thinking for a long time, he only said four words: "The princess walks slowly."
Seeing the princess' convoy leaving, Luo An also smiled and rode on the horse, and went to the hall with Zhang Chi, and said with a smile: "Young Master doesn't know that Princess Wuyou is the pearl in the hands of the King of Chengdu. I heard that the King of Chengdu had made a marriage for him, but he was unwilling to marry a poor scholar. But since I heard that the Prince defeated the Hu people, I was full of joy again, and I was determined to see how handsome the prince was, so I went out of the city to greet the prince himself. According to me, everyone would be happy to see this marriage."
In Zhang Chi's opinion, Princess Wuyou's typical young daughter mentality is inevitable, and she admires heroes. She smiled bitterly and headed straight to the Chengdu Palace with Luo An.
The King of Chengdu also went down to the hall to greet him. He pulled Zhang Chi's wrist and went to the hall to meet all the officials one by one. The governor of Yizhou and the governor of Liangzhou were also among them.
From ancient times to the present, there are all kinds of people. There are many people who flatter, and they are praised by everyone, but they lose the power and step on the same thing for the past. Now that Zhang Chi is victorious, it is the time to gain power, and of course there is a voice of flattery.
However, although these people are flattering, they are still a little happy without the threat from the Hu people. There is only one exception, that is, the governor of Liangzhou. He hated Zhang Chi to the core in his heart, but due to the situation, he could only smile and say a few lukewarm compliments to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi had long suspected that the governor of Liangzhou was traitorizing the enemy, but he would not say anything without evidence, haha, but he despised himself extremely. His face in the officialdom was really ugly.
The King of Chengdu pulled Zhang Chi and said, "Young Master won the flag this time, and it is inevitable that the strong support of the troops in Jingzhou will be strengthened. General Huan Qian led his troops to cut off the food route of the Hu people, and he also made great contributions. Now General Huan Qian's clan brother is in Shu, so I will recommend it to the young master."
As soon as the King of Chengdu finished speaking, a man had already stood up among the officials and said with a smile: "Why should I recommend it? The King of Chengdu didn't know that I, Huan Heng and Mr. Zhang, are old friends."
The "old friend" mentioned by Huan Heng does not mean that the two have a good relationship, but that they have known each other before.
After Zhang Chi traveled through time, he met two monks Daoxuan and Daoyuan. The three of them joined the caravan where Miss Wang transported horses. Huan Heng was also in the caravan at that time. It was because Huan Heng first met with Buddhism that Zhang Chi argued Huan Heng speechlessly at the banquet. In addition, Miss Wang's evaluation of him was unparalleled in poetry and wine. Huan Heng was narrow-minded and could remember even the big sesame things for the rest of his life. How could he forget these humiliating experiences in his opinion?
The Huan family sent people to Shuzhong. The meaning of the clever ones can tell at a glance that he wanted to upload his official heroic figure to infiltrate the sphere of influence into Shuzhong.
However, the King of Chengdu seemed to have never seen these hidden crises, and he was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth: "Today there is a strong support from Jingzhou, and a young master who is invincible in wisdom and courage. He defeated the Hu people and returned victoriously. It is a day of great joy. It is better to have more joy and get more joy in the marriage between Mr. Zhang and his little daughter, Princess Wuyou. Wouldn't it be more joyful and double happiness?"
When all officials saw Zhang Chi, this was amazing. They had just defeated the Hu people and were now going to become the son-in-law of the King of Chengdu again. Why didn’t they quickly curry favor with him? They all agreed: “The King of Chengdu really had a keen eye for talent, Mr. Zhang was unparalleled in knowledge, and what was even more rare is that he was both wise and brave. Princess Wuyou was very smart and beautiful. She was really a pair made of heaven and earth.”
The emperor was really not anxious. The eunuch was anxious. Zhang Chi shook his head and wanted to shirk it. He had to say, "Reported to the King of Chengdu, although he has defeated the Hu army, the six northern counties are still in the hands of the Hu people. I think it is important to take advantage of the defeat of Hu and recover the six counties."
As soon as Zhang Chi finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the palace were silent.
In fact, in the original intention, these people are very reluctant to fight because they are full of their salary. The outcome of the war is unpredictable, so how can they enjoy leisurely and leisurely?
After a while, a man tentatively said, "Reported to the King of Chengdu, although the Hu people were defeated, I was also injured in my Shu family. Why not rest and rest? Let's talk about the weapons of the soldiers. According to the officials' opinion, it is better not to use swords and guns."
Some people took the lead, and all the civil and military officials in the palace followed suit.
"Nonsense." He sat down and drank.
Zhang Chi still had an impression of this man. The first time he came to see the King of Chengdu was when the Hu people had just captured the six counties. At that time, Zhang Chi came from Badong. The King of Chengdu was discussing whether to fight or reconcile with the civil and military officials of the palace. At that time, this person was the main war.
There is another reason why Zhang Chi was impressed by him, that is, the sound of his voice was muffled: "A group of timid men! When the Hu people came, you were afraid of death and advocated surrender. Now Mr. Zhang has returned with victory. The Hu people lost 300,000 soldiers and horses. It is a great opportunity to take the opportunity to recover the six counties. When will they wait until they don't take it? The great rivers and mountains in Shu are all misled by you!"
The hat was very tight, and all the officials hurriedly bowed to the King of Chengdu, especially the officials of various counties, who were very afraid that their troops would be damaged. The fundamental reason for the troubled times was military power. If they had no military power, they would have no weight to speak in Shu. Therefore, they quickly argued: "Mi Wang Mingjian of Chengdu, and others are really sympathetic to the soldiers and horses of various counties, and the tired troops are really not easy to go on an expedition. The so-called "the end of a strong crossbow cannot be worn on Lu's scrim" by Kong Ming of the Three Kingdoms is exactly this."
The King of Chengdu is a little confused again at this time.
"Since the soldiers and horses of each county are tired, I don't need the soldiers and horses of each county." Zhang Chi said firmly: "I welcome those who are willing to follow me. If you don't want to, I will release them back to their own counties tomorrow. Even if all the soldiers and horses of each county are withdrawn, I will still swear to regain the six counties for Shu!"
At this moment, all the officials had nothing to say.
The King of Chengdu pulled Zhang Chi's hand meaningfully and held it hard: "I rely on the prince for many matters in Shu. It's just this marriage..."
Zhang Chi hurriedly said, "No, no hurry, it's not too late to talk after the Hu people are pacified."
