quiet!
The first floor at this time can only be described as quiet!
There is a huge difference between a Jinwang and a prince.
But in a place like a teahouse, where traffickers and lackeys gather together, the silence is nothing more than a momentary trance.
The crowd soon started arguing about everything.
"Old Shiba, Li Mutou, you two are well-informed, what do you know?"
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, the two of them looked at each other, how could they make this up?
Waiting online, quite urgent.
The sound was noisy again, but no one had a reasonable explanation.
"I heard that the current prince was granted the title of Fanguo at his own invitation."
A steady voice came from the corner, and everyone looked around and saw an old man and a young man. The old man had gray hair on his temples, and the young man seemed to have a weak head. On the table were two bowls of tea, some food, and two bamboo hats. The sword stood beside the table.
"How did you find out?"
But the two of them stopped talking.
There was no one in Shunping Teahouse who was not interested in the news. At that moment, someone slapped the table and shouted: "I will accept the money for tea from you two, Lao Liu."
After he finished speaking, he came over with a bowl of tea. He first bowed and received a response, and then the two parties exchanged a few simple polite words.
Fu Zi is the owner of the tea shop next door, and he and the owner of Shunping Teahouse grew up naked. There are rumors that the Fu family’s tea shop has been open for as many years as the Shunping Teahouse of the old Liu family has been open. The relationship between the two families They have become extremely close friends over the years.
Fu Zi has no other hobbies than gossip, so he spends most of the day at Shunping Teahouse. Treating guests to dinner for news is a common occurrence.
Fu Zi sat down and asked, "I wonder where this news came from?"
The old man said calmly: "Of course he came from the capital."
"Oh, Yong'an City. We've been there once before. Judging from your accents, you must be visitors from the capital, too?"
The old man nodded.
Fu Zi suddenly became more interested in chatting and asked quickly: "Can you two talk in detail?"
"Thank you for having a meal, so I should tell you."
Fu Zi waved his hands indifferently, the eagerness in his eyes not concealed at all.
The old man did not hesitate and stood up immediately and said: "If you have been to Gyeonggi and Yong'an City, you will definitely know His Highness the Crown Prince. Corporal courtesy and virtuous, simple and caring for the people, and also good at both civil and military affairs, he can be called a sage."
"As a native of the capital, I am just an ordinary person, but I have received favor from His Highness the Crown Prince."
There were whispers among the crowd, and many people expressed disbelief. How could a dignified prince do this? There were many gentlemen present, and some of them had met the Crown Prince of Liang.
Whether it is scholar-bureaucrats, princes or nobles, they all pay attention to their hierarchical status, and they are not easily accessible to the people of Guizhou Province.
But Fu Zi had been there, and he had distant relatives in Yong'an City. He immediately said: "What the old gentleman said is true."
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, but Cao Ling'er in the corner was extremely proud. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Guan Chengdu as if he was about to melt, which made Guan Cheng blush.
"You may not know that our Crown Prince rarely has empathy. Just loving the people is something that many princes want to learn but cannot learn from. If he can inherit the great power in the future, he will definitely be a wise king!"
"Then how did you become the King of Jin?" Someone in the crowd asked impatiently.
When the old man heard this, his face showed a trace of regret mixed with a trace of anger and appreciation. Fu Zi, who was sitting next to him, looked at the old man's face and the corners of his mouth twitched for a moment.
The old man took a sip of tea bitterly, placed the teacup heavily on the table and said solemnly: "Why else, but for Datong!"
Fu Zi, who had been almost professional for many years, keenly sensed that there must be something inside, so he slapped the table again and shouted: "The waiter will bring the wine and food!"
As long as you can drink to your heart's content, you can also talk to your heart's content.
Soon the waiter held up a tray, a pot of fine old wine, a plate of pickles, and a plate of minced meat, and walked over while singing.
Fu Zi invited the two of them with smiles on their faces.
The old man drank the wine in the cup and was surprised. The wine tasted good.
"Old sir, please make it clear." Fu Zi took advantage of the situation and picked up the wine glass and toasted another glass of wine.
"Well, let's talk about it today."
Everyone cheered, which attracted many elegant scholars and dignitaries in many rooms on the second floor to look at him.
The old man was obviously not an ordinary person. After a glass of wine, he spoke immediately and said: "Datong has been a country for five hundred years, but today it only governs one county and eight counties."
"The world is moral, so most princes dare not act rashly. There are many people who have experienced the glory of Datong, but there are many who have seen the decline of Datong."
"In recent years, the princes have refused to submit and pay tribute, and some of them have even openly provoked and sent troops to intercept and kill them like the Jin Kingdom. If things go on like this, what will happen if Datong is close to this Gyeonggi county? Even if the eight counties are all superior counties, the total is only two With thousands of soldiers, not only will it be difficult to restore Datong’s glory, but self-protection will also be a problem.”
Everyone heard that some people were becoming dissatisfied and muttered: "But what does this have to do with Prince Jin?"
The old man turned around and glanced indifferently without saying anything. However, Fu Zi was offended. He stood up and scolded sternly: "If you don't want to hear it, go home and breastfeed me."
The old man continued: "Everyone thinks it is not feasible, but our Highness the Crown Prince sees an unbreakable truth."
"If you don't break it, you won't stand it? Doesn't that mean the fish will die and the net will break?"
The old man said disdainfully: "Are you taking a step back to open up the world?"
"I have relatives in the palace who serve as servants, and they are the masters who serve in the Yangxin Hall."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said at that time that Datong would be destroyed before it could be established. Datong is already in danger. It is extremely treasonous and unethical. If it is not changed, it will definitely be annexed by other princes in the future."
"So His Highness the Crown Prince said that instead of just sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to jump out of the circle and fight to the death. This is the main reason why His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to give up the position of Crown Prince and request to be crowned King of Jin."
After listening to this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. It's not that people here have never talked about Datong. On the contrary, Datong is always a hot topic, but everyone knows what Datong looks like. If you want to turn over, there are so many vassal states and thousands of counties in the world, even if it is Taizu had to shake his head when he was resurrected, let alone a young boy.
"By the way, where is the Jin Kingdom?"
Someone next to me immediately replied: "It's in the west. From here, we may have to walk more than three thousand miles, right?"
"Hiss, it's so far! So the King of Jin is recruiting troops here and he wants to take them to the Kingdom of Jin?"
The old man nodded, gently stroking his beard and said, "Of course!"
"Doesn't it mean that walking is useless?" Wu Da's untimely voice sounded again.
"It is indeed a long way to go, but as His Royal Highness the Prince said, if you break and then stand, if you stay in Yong'an City, you will inevitably perish. Why not fight him once? If you succeed, it will be the founding of the country!"
But everyone didn't take it seriously.
A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one's own doghouse, and what's more, just with these few ambiguous words, you can deceive everyone into traveling thousands of miles?
"Old Master, don't worry. How about we make a bet with you?"
This sentence piqued the old man's curiosity and he asked: "Oh? What kind of gambling method?"
Wu Da stood up and said proudly: "Didn't the notice say that we will only recruit a thousand people, not one more? And we will only recruit for three days. I bet he won't be able to recruit a thousand people."
"How about we just bet ten dollars?"
Wu Da stared at the old man with his eyes fixedly, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.
The old man smiled proudly and said: "Okay, I will stay with you until the end."
Wu Da laughed and said: "Mr. Don't forget my ten dollars in three days. Everyone has to be a witness."
Mr. Wu Dalian used these three words together, and he looked very proud.
"Are you so sure? You dare to conclude that I will lose before we even start?"
Wu Da chuckled and said: "It's obvious that the lice are on the bald man's head. Who can travel thousands of miles with nothing to do? People are cheap when they leave their hometown, and besides, they still work as regular servants. What a fool. Let’s go.”
The old man pointed at the young man opposite and said: "This is my nephew. After running all the way, I finally caught up with His Highness in Hecheng County. This nephew of mine came to find His Highness to join the army."
Wu Da laughed and said: "This is the Liang Kingdom. Except for those desperate beggars, no serious person would go to the Lao Shizi Jin Kingdom. And I heard that the requirements are very high."
"I'd like to try it!"
As soon as Wu Da laughed, a voice came out, which immediately made Wu Da's face feel hot. He turned around and was about to curse, but when he saw the speaker clearly, he immediately stopped his anger and wilted.
The person who spoke was named Zhang Mingdi, and he was a famous ranger in Hecheng County.
Zhang Di's parents died when he was young, and he was a poor boy who grew up eating hundreds of meals and wearing hundreds of clothes. However, when Zhang Di was ten years old, his village was looted by bandits, and almost all the men were killed to protect their wives and children. The young Most of the women were humiliated to death, and the entire village was eventually burned to the ground.
Zhang Di was filled with hatred, so he disappeared. Only to reappear six years later, Zhang Di broke into the bandit den alone and killed all the bandits. From then on, he became famous and became a famous hero.
Zhang Di loves to fight injustices. For people like Wu Da, he is the god of plague, an existence that he tries to avoid. He swallowed the curse words that were on his lips and his face turned red from holding back.
Someone asked in confusion: "What does Zhang Daxia mean by this? King Jin is going to Huoyang County, which is thousands of miles away."
Zhang Di, however, didn't take it seriously and said: "A knight is at home all over the world, so why should he care where he is?"
"I have heard about the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince, and I am yearning for him. If I have the opportunity to accompany you today, I will seize it. Moreover, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is going to wipe out the bandits and bandits who have spread across the Liang Kingdom for 600 miles. , how can such a righteous act not spare me the land?"
"Even if His Highness doesn't accept it, it would be a blessing to be able to follow from a distance and witness with your own eyes the moth cancer in my beams. Zhang is willing to go for it."
"What Brother Zhang said is true, I am willing to go with you!"
"The same goes for me!"
There were many people with lofty ideals in the teahouse, and suddenly more than ten people stood up and agreed.
Wu Da ran away in shame. Before leaving, he even threw a dog and chewed the mud, causing a burst of laughter.
