Chapter 23 Taking advantage of the rain to shed tears
After hearing Bao Zheng's words, Zhang Fangping looked at Yun Zheng thoughtfully. Seeing him spreading his hands at him helplessly, he knew that this guy was not aware of it. Lao Bao explained his identity clearly, which means that Liu Yucheng's suppression of bandits should not be underestimated. If there was no significant result, the emperor would not be able to explain it at all.
Zhang Fangping chuckled and invited Lao Bao to the inn to rest. He would wait three days for other things to talk about. At this time, all the time was very precious. Liu Yucheng had been out for more than a month, and now he should have the result of the battle.
Of course, the old bag would give Zhang Fangping a three-day free time. Even if he is as strong as a cow, he must claim that he will feel the cold occasionally and need a few days to rest. Yun Zheng has seen this set of things in his previous life. He often does things like this with his mentor and the bad old man of the principal. When he was drunk, he cried and said that he was no longer a scholar. After sobering up, he still rolled up his sleeves and walked further and further on the road of officials.
Lao Bao wanted to rest, but it was fine. He could be served comfortably as long as he went to the postmaster. However, Lao Bao asked the name to live in the Yun family, saying that the Yun family was a prominent family in Shu, and that he could be more literary.
This is a curse. Yun Jiaman has only lived in Chengdu for three years. The head of the family is a young man under 20 years old. He is still a student of someone else. I don’t know where he will start with the prominent clan in Shu.
Zhang Fangping looked at Bao Zheng, and finally laughed and said, "Brother Xiren is going to spoil the child, but with you, Lao Bao, it will not be difficult for the Yun family to become a prominent family in Shu in the future."
Bao Xiren smiled and said, "I am also entrusted by someone. A small infantryman is in charge of the lords. I have worked for two prime ministers, two ministers, and two officials in the border areas to inquire about it. When I arrived in Shu, I saw you, Zhang Fangping, and you were protected in every way. Haha, if such a family is not a prominent family, I will pick out my eyes and throw them on the ground as a snail."
Zhang Fangping laughed and said, "You are spoiled even me. How can Zhang Fangping dare to compare with the court Zhongqing?"
Lao Bao sighed and said, "It's worth it. A young army reduced the burden on the court by 10,000 troops, and supported tens of thousands of people. There is no need for too many such people. One military route is enough, and two hundred military states in the Song Dynasty can turn the world upside down. Unfortunately, things went against my wishes. With one more Yun Zheng, I had to go all the way to Chengdu Prefecture."
Zhang Fangping laughed bitterly and said, "It is the matter that the priests consider, and I can only consider the matter in Shu. Being able to ensure the safety of one side on behalf of the emperor is my duty, and this is also the origin of my name."
The two old guys were very serious, but Yun Zheng didn't have such thoughts. He was stunned when he looked at the heavy rain outside. It was raining, and the weather did not get much cooler. Wearing wet clothes made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
A horse emerged from the heavy rain. But it was Langlige. He ran to Yun Zheng with a bag of tart cloth on his back and did not dismount. He threw the package to Yun Zheng and rode back again. From the moment he appeared to leave, it was only a short moment.
The two big men who spoke were very surprised to see the appearance of one man and one riding. You must know that Shili Pavilion has been blocked by the yamen runners. Most people cannot come here.
Zhang Fangping asked Yun Zheng with a dark face: "Are all your servants so rude?"
While changing his wet clothes, Yun Zheng said, "Mr. Ming is wrongly blamed me again. He is a cavalryman. Even if he sees Li Yuanhao, he will not dismount. He was deceived into the Song Dynasty. Of course, he should be proud. Who can make people have the ability? Aren't you generous to the lower officials? If you really enforce military laws, the lower officials' heads would have moved around long ago, why are you serious now?"
Zhang Fangping was the most accustomed to this trick. Haha, he pointed at Yun Zheng and said to Lao Bao: "It's such a bastard. Fortunately, he still knows the importance of such a person. I dare not send him to the emperor to embarrass him. It's not too late to wait until I get well trained."
Old Bao glanced at Yun Zheng thoughtfully and said, "You have guessed my purpose long ago?"
Zhang Fangping smiled without saying a word.
Lao Bao sighed again and said, "Han Qi, Fu Bi, and Zeng Gongliang all said that Yun Zheng could not be placed outside, and could only return to the capital to shoulder heavy responsibilities. This would make the court preferential treatment of heroes."
"Same as Di Hanchen?" Zhang Fangping said with sarcasm, and Lao Bao was stunned for a moment and said, "The team training envoys in Yizhou cannot be said to be unfair."
"If it is a tiger, it should be placed in the mountains and forests to be king. If it is a evil dog, it should be locked in front of the gate to guard the house. What is the point of offering the gift of wealth and food in the inner house? Are there few tigers and evil dogs I offer?
If you are not at ease, just kill it. Wouldn’t you feel like it’s a waste of talent in this way?”
Mr. Peng Li put his hands in his sleeves, rolled his eyes and looked at Bao Zheng and continued, "If my disciples cannot use their talents, it is better to follow me to go back to the academy to do research. After a few years of training, it is not difficult to sing a name in Donghuamen. Why should I be raised as a pig early? Bao Xiren, when you meet His Majesty, you ask me when I have taught him such a sinister way to torture people?
Although he was young in Qiandi, he was also a kind-hearted person. Please help me beg him and don’t lose my strong generals in the Song Dynasty. Now, there are not too many strong generals, but too few."
Bao Xiren bowed and said, "Mr. Pengli, don't be angry. Your Majesty has no such request. If you want to blame, it will be blamed on Bao Zheng. I think the top talents need to be supervised."
Peng Li was extremely angry and pointed at Bao Zheng, waved his sleeves and walked into the rain. Yun Zheng quickly held the oil cloth and straw raincoat with monkeys and Hanniu to put it on the old man. If he got sick from the rain, he might be dead.
Zhang Fangping bowed to Lao Bao Gong and said, "You have offended someone else's teacher. The Yun family may not be able to entertain you anymore. You should stay in the inn. If you really can't live in my mansion, it's better to live in my house. After all, the Zhang family is a prominent family in Shu. We sleep together at night, just in time to reminisce about the past. What do you think?"
Bao Zheng said helplessly: "Wouldn't you be sorry to use this trick to deal with me?"
Zhang Fangping laughed and said, "It's a shame, so please stay in my house. At most, I'll punish myself for three drinks when I drink."
Mr. Peng Li took Yun Zheng and the monkey and the monkey and the old man paused through the woods, and the old man paused and said, "Why don't you go to the military camp quickly? Why don't you stay here? Don't worry, I can't die if I get wet in a little rain.
Once you enter the capital, it is difficult to get out carefully. Lu Qingyuan wrote clearly that chaos in the court has arisen, and Chen Zhizhong's good man's position is not guaranteed, and a slander like Jia Changchao will rise to power. Xia Qiang came out of Haozhou, Tang Jie came out of Huangzhou, and Your Majesty was ruthless. This makes people feel very strange.
According to Lu Qingyuan's judgment, Jia Changchao was drooling at you. He lacked a mighty man like you. Once he had a relationship with a slander, it would be impossible for you to be a flawless gentleman.
By the way, do you know Lin Lanlan? Why is it soaring so fast? Is it said that not only the court will be in chaos, but the inner palace will also have a favorite concubine?"
Yun Zheng carefully tied the rope of the old man with a straw raincoat and said with a smile: "Lan Lan, you have seen me. I have lived in my house for almost a year, and I was working on a silk reeling workshop with my Qingying and bacon. You praised her at the beginning."
Mr. Peng Li was shocked and pointed at Yun Zheng for a while before saying, "The palace did you arrange for her to enter?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I really don't want her a good daughter like her to enter the palace. I tried my best to stop her, but she didn't stop her. They said that this is her father's hope."
Mr. Peng Li wiped the water flowing down his forehead, and didn't know if it was rain or sweat, and said in a panic: "Changsheng, tell me that this was not what you arranged."
Facing the husband's hopeful look, Yun Zheng swore: "The disciple has never instigated, hinted, or forced Lin Lanlan to enter the palace. If there is such a thing, I will definitely not die a good death."
Mr. Peng Li sighed with relief: "From the distance from this woman, just pretend that she never knows her, and don't have any connection with her, otherwise you will be destroyed in your life. No matter what kind of great contribution you have made, people will only remember that you gave your Majesty a woman, a minister who is lucky enough to do nothing in this life."
Yun Zheng sniffed and looked down at his clothes that had become wet again and said, "Unless I need to take the Beijing Grand Exam, I will never step into Tokyo Bianliang City."
Mr. Peng Li grabbed Yun Zheng's hand and said happily: "Good child, this is a good child. Go and go back to Dujiangyan and take your troops to train far away. If Bao Zheng doesn't leave, don't come out."
Yun Zheng willingly knelt down at Mr. Peng Li's feet and bowed three times. He was very grateful to the old man Fang Zheng who was devoted to himself. When he rode a horse and left, he looked back. The old man was still standing under the tree and waved to him. Yun Zheng's nose was so sour and he waved to the old man and drove away.
The war horse ran very quickly, but Yun Zheng's heart was boiling like a pot of water. Looking back on his past, was it really perfect? Can his lies really last forever?
I used to think that I had deceived Zhang Fangping and felt at ease, but now I feel that it is a bit inappropriate. I used to think that saying a few lies to my teacher is not a big problem. Now it seems that lies do not harm irrelevant people, but will only hurt yourself and the people who care about you the most.
The heavy rain can't help Yun Zheng's guilt. He can cry for a while while it rains, so that no one can find that he has cried. The habit of lies in later generations that open their mouths must be corrected the most thoroughly.
I ran to Dujiangyan in one breath and looked at the surging river water. I felt thirsty. I cried too hard just now and the water in my body was lost a little.
