Usually the children of the family have a simple and arrogant style, and it is difficult to communicate, but if they have a heart to make friends with each other, it is much simpler.

Although Shen Zhezi has never met this Pei Rongzhi, since the other party has played a hand of praying mantis and catching cicadas and yellow finches in front of him, he must also have intended to befriend him. And he really needs to find some partners within Jingzhou, compared to those natives in Jingzhou, Pei Rongzhi, the surname of Nandu Qiao, is much easier to contact.

The two talked about it in the camp through Duhe's relationship, and they were happy for a while. This Pei Rongzhi is also very knowledgeable, and he doesn't talk about the farce earlier, and what he talks about is more about his own experience of crossing to the south.

Pei Rongzhi crossed to the south relatively early, counting more than ten years, because his family was not inclined to Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, in the Chinese Dynasty, and did not go straight to Jiankang to meet Sima Rui, the little pony boy of Yuefu, but followed the elders to settle in Xiangyang. In troubled times, the big family was not exempt from it, and his wife, Duhe's cousin, died soon after Nandu could not stand the turbulent life.

Later, Pei Rongzhi married the daughter of the local family Xi and Pang in Jingxiang, and was recruited by the Jingzhou Thorn History, and stayed in Jingxiang all the time. Because he rarely goes to Gyeonggi, he has no reputation in Gangdong.

To be honest, such a resume is not good compared to Pei Rongzhi's background, which also reflects the ecological environment of overseas Chinese surnames after crossing to the south. Except for Qingxuyu and a few other places that can stand in the current situation and call for wind and rain, the mixture in other places is not as good as that of people surnamed Wu, even if there are occasionally one or two high positions, they do not have real power.

This is not powerful, Pei Rongzhi has been working for more than ten years, but he is just a county government. However, Du He has not been in the south for a long time, and Shen Zhezi is already ready to fight for a real Taishou for Du He in the next year or two as one of his chassis.

But Shen Zhezi also heard the value of Pei Rongzhi, that is, the face is light, the two in-laws are both local wealthy families in Jingxiang, which shows that they have been accepted by local scholars. If you make another analogy, this is a lite version of the grass house Zhuge Liang!

Zhuge Liang is also a northerner from the south, and he married the Jingxiang Hao clan, his significance to Liu Bei, to the big picture, it is boundless, to the small, that is Liu Bei, who lives in Jingzhou, and Jingxiang people to contact and communicate a window!

When he was in the middle of his words, Pei Rongzhi suddenly smiled and said: "I have been in the south for a long time, and I rarely see old friends." Daohui has been able to help the horse, it is already quite famous, if you can be next to each other in the future, often see each other, but it can be a comfort homesickness. ”

Shen Zhezi's eyes flashed slightly after hearing this, and then he also smiled: "Daohui has a real talent, if he is trapped in Taichung, he will be covered with dust." I also want to persuade him to seek an exception, although he is not against Hanchao, he should also be above Huaisi. ”

Pei Rongzhi used Du He's appointment to test Shen Zhezi's pattern, and Shen Zhezi also used this to answer the focus he was seeking in the future.

After hearing this, Pei Rongzhi's smile became more and more cheerful, obviously it was Shen Zhezi's answer that made him feel that his intentions were not in vain.

After talking to each other, this is the end, and now they are separated from each other, even if there is any agreement, it is difficult to echo, many things will stop at the point, and it will not be too late to say anything else when the conditions are really in place on the coming day.

Tao Hong watched the two talking and laughing at the banquet, but he was just impressed by the indescribable tacit understanding between the children of these families, but he couldn't hear that Shen Zhezi had planted a seed here to dig up the corner of his eldest father in the future.

After a while, Li Gang, the superintendent who had left earlier, hurriedly walked in, nodded slightly to Pei Rongzhi, and then said to Shen Zhezi: "The governor of the capital, please meet in the tent." ”

Pei Rongzhi got up to see him off, and before parting, he whispered to Shen Zhezi: "There is no need to say much about this matter, the metropolitan governor will give a satisfactory explanation to the horse." ”

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but smile when he heard this, he didn't care if he didn't explain it, but those people in the camp before colluded and conspired to give themselves a dismount, if they succeeded, it could be regarded as a breath of relief to the Jingzhou army, and Tao Kan might not be held accountable. But now, instead of succeeding, it has caused a great turmoil, and if Tao Kan does not take this opportunity to attack these mountains in the army, it will really have no political wisdom.

Tao Kan's Chinese army tent was far from the water's edge, and Shen Zhezi and the others almost passed through half of the camp before they arrived. After the warrant was passed on in the near future, the guards behind Shen Zhezi, including Tao Hong, were all stopped outside, and only Shen Zhezi was welcomed into the camp.

As soon as it entered the tent, even if there was a strong smell of mugwort wool blowing in the face, although the space in the tent was not small, there was no one else on the seat, only behind the handsome seat there was a screen several feet wide, and the smell of mugwort wafted out from there, and through the tulle you could see a few figures shaking inside.

Shen Zhezi took a few steps forward before bowing to the screen and said, "Senior Shen Zhezi, meet Tao Gong." I don't know that Tao Gongzun is not in good health, and he takes the liberty to disturb, and he is really afraid. ”

After a while, a slightly old and lazy voice sounded in the screen: "It's just that the old and sick people, when it rains, the bones are unbearable, and the old ones are unbearable, so you can see and smile, choose a seat and sit by yourself." ”

Shen Zhezi sat on the closest position to the screen as he said, and when he heard Tao Kan's somewhat dull wheezing voice behind the tent, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. People say that seventy years old, this old man is now in his prime, but he still has to lead thousands of troops and ships, for his personal view, it is naturally an honor, but for a country, it can be seen how serious the talent fault line or the selection of talents is!

Tao Kan didn't deliberately snub Shen Zhezi, after the rainy season, his joints were really swollen and painful and he couldn't stand, so he could only rely on moxibustion to drive away the dampness. He is not a celebrity outside of things, and now it is inconvenient to see each other with his chest and abdomen open, but he faces Shen Zhezi squarely.

"Children's achievements are enviable! At your age, I'm still living in a mess, just in case of your demeanor. ”

"The dry city of the Tao Principality is a lot of work, and no one can do it. There are still many younger generations to learn from Tao Gong, how dare they be beautiful. ”

Tao Kan chuckled when he heard this, turned over in the tent, waved his hand to retreat from the servants who blocked his sight, looked out along the gap in the screen to observe Shen Zhezi, and said with a smile after a while: "Looking at your appearance today, I know that the destiny of heaven is indeed unique." Wu Zhong Wangzong, full of elegance, loyalty and bravery, and beautiful appearance, no wonder your father saw you as the treasure of the family, and specially sent a letter to me not to force each other. Such a beautiful child deserves to be loved. ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he and Tao Kan had met once or twice, but they rarely talked. This old man's age is here, even if his tone is a little old and old, he can't refute it. It is not all because of his background, but because this old man sometimes does owe a little bit of a mouth, and his mouth is open, which makes people unable to get off the stage. Compared with the embarrassment that others encountered here, Shen Zhezi was quite good.

But having said that, relying on Tao Kan's merits to compare people's unfair attitude towards him at the time, it is inevitable that he will be a little resentful in his heart, and a few words of complaining are already a rare good attitude.

"When you come home and see your father the next day, tell him that I am forcing you? I won't force you, and you won't treat me lightly. My little grandson is under your command, this time your achievements are not small, I am not good to celebrate on his behalf, you don't alienate him, he admires you very much. ”

Hearing Tao Kan's words, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sweat profusely. He originally fantasized about sitting down with such a famous minister who has been passed down to future generations, and he should talk about some general trends in the world and even profound historical laws to fit the atmosphere, but he didn't expect to be in this family for a short time, and even openly ask for rewards for his own children.

However, this did not prevent Shen Zhezi from talking to Tao Kantong first, so he said: "This time, thanks to the help of the world brother, and Tao Gong's skillful use of troops, Gyeonggi will be stable." The great achievements of the world brother can be said to live up to the family heirloom and inherit the mantle. ”

"You have a little history as a child, why do you leave your beak in my family......"

Tao Kan was a little unhappy when he heard this, thinking that what Shen Zhezi said was about his family's heir, but he was slightly stunned before he reacted, this mantle should not be himself but his son Tao Zhan. After having this thought, his face became a little calm, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "This is what Uncle Yu meant?" ”

Tao Zhan served as the Taishou of Lujiang before his death, which belonged to Yuzhou, although Tao Hong had meritorious service in this battle, of course, it was impossible to directly serve as the Taishou of a county. But if you look at it as a promise, this gift is not heavy, Lujiang is the homeland of the Tao family, and it is much more convenient to return here than other places. Tao Zhan is Tao Kan's intended heir, and returning to the countryside also has the meaning of taking care of the family business and developing the township. If it can continue, it will be extremely important for his entire family legacy.

"The guards know that they are shallow, and they will always return to the princes of Taichung in the future. At that time, I also asked to help Tao Gong, and asked Tao Gong to ......"

"I won't talk to you about his family's affairs, if he has any foresight, he will come to see me at that time."

Tao Kan interrupted Shen Zhezi's words a little unceremoniously, in his early years, he was bullied by Yu Liang, although he is now dead, but if he can release his previous suspicions immediately, he can't do it.

Faced with this old man's temperament, Shen Zhezi didn't know what to say. Although the words were blocked, he couldn't help this old man, which made Shen Zhezi a little depressed, but this old man has many sons, and after a hundred years, Shen Zhezi will not worry about finding a target for revenge.

"And then there's the ...... of the Imperial Protector"

"Ha, it turns out that today you are a lobbyist for Wang Taibao? You little thing is much stronger than your father, and although Shiju is known for its treachery, it is still inferior to you. ”

Tao Kan laughed after hearing this, there was no lack of ridicule, a few days ago, he listened to the words of those who took refuge in him, how Shen Zhezi coerced everyone and even Director Wang in Taichung, but he didn't expect this kid to turn his head and come to Director Wang as a lobbyist again. After a little silence, he said: "I am neither an auxiliary politician nor a military officer, so it is not suitable for me to ask about politics." It's just that there is one thing that is not clear, and it is okay for the Taibao to treat the guards well, but my Jingzhou Erlang is also fighting a bloody battle to quell the rebellion this time, how much merit should be discussed? ”

"Why not?"

Shen Zhezi said with a smile at the table. But Tao Kan was stunned when he heard this, and then pointed at Shen Zhezi and said with a smile: "Dare to say that, people say that you are a young tiger of Jiangbiao, I think you are a source of chaos on the river!" How can such a bad example be opened indiscriminately? ”

"The words are terrifying, and Tao Gong really doesn't dare to accept it. Speaking of the present, Taibao is also helpless, and he can't help it. ”

"He is in charge of his own affairs, and I am talking about my own affairs, so why bother seeking common ground."

After saying this, Tao Kan waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, just go back and report back to the Taibao." ”

Shen Zhezi waited until he left the camp tent before he figured out what Tao Kan meant. Director Wang admittedly had no choice, and Tao Kan didn't have any bitterness, this should be regarded as a statement of non-violent non-cooperation, and it can be done without being bad. Shen Zhezi thought that seeking common ground while reserving differences and being inclusive was already good political wisdom, but compared with the old guys' grasp of the slightest difference, it was still a little lacking.

Soon after Shen Zhezi left, another person came into the tent, it was Tao Kan's brother Tao Zhen, who hurriedly stepped forward and handed it to Tao Kan with a book in his hand.

"Seven people were shot, twenty-eight drowned and more than forty wounded...... This little raccoon dog is ruthless enough, but it is not inferior to his father's demeanor. ”

Glancing hastily at the contents on the slip, Tao Kan smacked his tongue and said, after a little muttering, he said to Tao Zhen: "With the soldiers, the flogging will be fifteen." Chen, the head of the army, is the head of the army! ”

"Is this sentence too severe? Father Zhong, although he is a colt and has made great achievements, how can we in Jingzhou be afraid of him! ”

Tao Zhen couldn't help frowning after hearing this, although he thought that this matter was his fault, but Shen Zhezi was too arrogant to kill so much. But the uncle not only did not hold Shen Zhezi accountable, but turned his head and wanted to kill his own subordinates, which made him a little unacceptable.

Tao Kan's eyebrows suddenly raised after hearing this: "Lao Tzu is showing him?" It's for all armies and battalions to see! Don't think that if Lao Tzu can't get up, they can be unscrupulous! ”

"Also, those people were cast in Taicheng earlier, you told Zhang Changshi and asked him to bring them back to Taicheng! The military and the government are not unified, and Lao Tzu is not in the high position of the three dukes, what is the use of spending rice and grain to feed this group of birds who harm the morale of the army! ”

Tao Zhen saw that his uncle was angry, so he didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly turned around and went out to give the military order. But when he was about to leave the account, Tao Kan called him again: "Let Yin Changshi pack up and return to Taicheng together, and tell him that Taichung has another appointment." What is the name of the child who secretly assists the Shen family? Later, let him go to Zhengxi Mansion to supervise the horse affairs, Lao Tzu has not closed his eyes yet, and there is no need to rush to change the court! ”
