Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 615 Guixi King, Guinan King

After five days.

Midsummer has long passed, but the autumn tigers in Guangxi are still showing off their last fierceness, and the sun is baking the land of Liuzhou Prefecture like a furnace.

In fact, there was a heavy rain in Liuzhou two days ago. Not far to the south of Maping County, where Liuzhou's capital is located, there is a place called Longtan Town. Because of the heavy rain, there is a lot of water in the low-lying areas here.

Under the scorching sun, any kind of rainwater would quickly dry up, and the ground after the accumulated water was extremely muddy, and when it was exposed to the scorching sun again, it would crack open and roll up pieces of palm-sized soil The skin is like a tortoise shell that has been broken and discarded.

Bare-backed little dolls ran around with their bare feet, peeling off the dirt piece by piece, and picking it aside as tiles, intending to save it and use it when they play house.

The weather is really too hot, except for these enthusiastic children, everyone else is lazy and unable to lift their spirits. The mistake is to go to the field to work, otherwise they will enjoy the coolness in the shade in front of the house and behind the house. There are not many people on the road. pedestrian.

Even the tall willow trees that look like covers are equally listless in this ghostly weather when the tiger finally shows its power in autumn. The willow branches are drooping weakly, and only the cicadas hidden in the bushes are endlessly noisy, as if I have to cry out unwillingly at the last time of my life, but unfortunately the people who hear it are getting more and more drowsy.It wasn't until dusk that the hotness gradually dissipated a lot.

The setting sun is setting, and the afterglow is like fog. Looking around, it is golden and red. The area around Jinghu Lake in Longtan Town is especially cool at this time, because there is a large lake with an unusual shape, with an area of ​​about five or six hundred acres, and the bay is full of plants. Lotus, surrounded by willows and mulberry trees, is a perfect place to cool off.

There is Queer Mountain in the north of Liuzhou City, and there is also a lake on the mountain, and it is closer than Jinghu Lake in the south of the city, so the nobles of the Han family in Liuzhou City usually go there to escape the summer heat when they have nothing to do.And some chieftains who often came to Liuzhou to deal with the high officials of the Han family bought properties in the Jinghu area and built a courtyard near the water.

In fact, the reason why Longtan Town has the word "dragon" is because the shape of the mirror lake is a bit like a dragon, which is divided into several independent parts irregularly, such as the dragon's head, dragon's shoulders and front claws, dragon's belly, Dragon hind claws, dragon tail, etc., which is convenient for the chieftains who deal with business here, and can get a relatively private space.

According to old legends, the dragon's head is the most scenic part of Jinghu Lake, followed by the dragon's shoulders, and the third is the dragon's belly.Since the chieftains all like the place of Longtan Jinghu, there is always a fight over who lives in the dragon's head, who lives in the dragon's shoulders, and who lives in the dragon's belly.

The chieftain of Guangxi, who is the most powerful, is called the Cen family, and is the most popular among all the chieftains in Guangxi. The Huang family is followed by the Huang family, whose land is slightly smaller than the Cen family, but because it is close to Annan, the army is not strong Then there is no way to survive, and we have always prided ourselves on being strong.

Although the other families have their own strengths, for various reasons, none of them can compete with the Cen and Huang families.Outsiders don't know how his two families competed openly and secretly at the Dragon Head of Jinghu Lake, but there are also rumors that the current leader of the Cen Clan, Cen Shaoxun, has an eccentric personality and a "hermit's heart", so he is not enthusiastic about many things. , which allowed Huang to get the mirror lake dragon head.

However, both the Cen family and the Huang family are local snakes that no one dares to provoke in Guangxi. Since their ancestors followed Di Qing, a famous general in the Song Dynasty, and were named local officials, they have been the chieftain's family for hundreds of years. To put it bluntly, sometimes it is better than the governor. The townspeople of Longtan Town dare not come here to escape the summer heat.

It would not be an exaggeration to regard Jinghu Lake as the "Five Dalian Lakes" in Liuzhou. Now the lotus flowers in this "Longshou Lake" are growing vigorously, the lotus leaves all over the bay are green, and there is a small boat in the distance. .As the small boat passed by, the lotus leaf greeted and avoided it, and a flute sound was as clear as Sanskrit singing, following the parting lotus leaf to escape in all directions.

The old farmer back at dusk bent his body with his hands behind his back, holding a piece of rope in his hand, and walked slowly across the field ridge in the distance. The rope dragged a skinny old cow. Little baby, little baby is playing with grandpa's bamboo hat happily.Farther away, the red sun with the size of a wheel was already half-submerged on the top of the mountain.This situation is like a poem and a picture.

Hearing the sound of the flute, the old farmer subconsciously glanced towards Longshou Lake.There are green lotuses on the lake, and the boat is completely hidden among the lotus flowers. Only a young man in a plain white light robe and a square scarf can be seen sitting on the bow playing the flute happily. Beside him is another The beauty holding the oil-paper umbrella is wearing a Han family spring shirt, with a light waist that is about to break, but it is a pity that she is standing facing the young master, so she cannot see her appearance, only a blue hair, holding a lazy beauty In a topknot, Wu Yaya's hair was slanted with a golden step rocker, which set off her long neck and her figure's indescribable flair, arousing infinite reverie.

Seeing this appearance, the old farmer quickly lowered his head.He is just an honest farmer, it would be impolite to see that there are female relatives on the boat, these chieftains are not something he can afford to provoke.

The old farmer lowered his head and quickened his pace to move forward. Not far away, there were already clouds of cooking smoke floating over the town.

The sound of the flute, like a voiceless Sanskrit singing, stopped, and the melodious and charming sound of the qin played again, and the red sun in the sky gradually disappeared under the horizon during the transition between the flute and the qin.

The boat stopped about a foot away from the shore, and an old willow branch growing obliquely on the shore reached out to the lake, hanging thousands of willows on the boat, and the evening wind gradually picked up, and the willow branches danced.Just now the young man was sitting on the pineapple wooden bench at the bow of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, leisurely, while the beauty was standing aside with a smile, and then turned around and ordered the servants on the boat to bring the small stove, Light a fire and prepare dinner.

The tender lotus root sliced ​​into thin slices and fragrant is freshly fished from Longshou Lake. The lively crayfish are caught with small pieces of meat from the roots of the willow trees by the river. There are old wines, all of which are grown in the Longshou Lake Villa. There is also a plate of mulberry washed like black pearls, which makes people salivate. This fresh mulberry is picked from the mulberry tree that grows by the bay. .

Looking at it carefully, if this young master is sent to catch another fat fish to serve with wine, then his merits and virtues will be completed. All the food is produced here, which is very wild and wild.

When the stars began to twinkle, Cicada was tired after a day of hustle and bustle, and the lake became quiet.The young man exchanged cups with the little beauty, enjoying themselves.

It's a pity that no outsider can get close to them, but they don't know that what the two of them are talking about at this time is not really romantic at all.

"Nandan Mo's family and Si'en Zhao's family can't help but move. The seventh son is free to let the slave family accompany you on a lake tour. I am afraid that the Cen family, the king of Western Gui I can have it."

"The King of West Guangxi?" The delicate and handsome Seventh Young Master laughed: "Could it be that Miss Huang is reminding me that the Cen family should settle down in West Guangxi? Is the King of Guinan?"

The little beauty, Ms. Huang, covered her mouth with a smile: "Young Master, you are joking. Cen's family deserves the title of King of West Guangxi, but Huang's family dares to be called the King of South Guangxi? Taiping Mansion and Nanning Mansion are both government dignitaries." , my Huang family is only a mere Siming Mansion, how dare I mention the King of South Guangxi?"

"The Huang family is just a Siming Mansion?" The seventh son laughed, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Man said that all the states and counties near the Siming Mansion are all Huang's clan, and that is the Taiping Mansion. He is a low-level official, but there is still a person from the imperial court under him? Not to mention that the Taiping Mansion guarding thousands of households that he relied on has long been controlled by the Huang family? As for Nanning Mansion..."

The Seventh Young Master waved his hand: "The fault is that there is a Nanning Guard there, otherwise how would it be better than the Taiping Mansion? As for the Nanning Guard, a hundred years ago it was paid in full and it was quite difficult to deal with, but now, why not?" Is it enough for three thousand usable soldiers?"

Miss Huang smiled and said: "Seventh Young Master, you have underestimated Nanning Guard. Nanning Guard now has more than 4000 troops, about [-] or [-] soldiers."

The Seventh Young Master raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, there is such a thing? Rare, rare. But so what, will Mrs. Huang really take these four thousand guards seriously? If your father is willing, then Even with [-] wolf soldiers, taking down Nanning is only a matter of one blow."

Miss Huang waved her hands again and again, as if she was seriously frightened, and her face was full of astonishment: "What did the seventh son say, my Huang family is loyal to Daming, how can I have such malicious intentions? Don't the seventh son know that my father was in Pingding Ba last year. In the chaos of the village, he won the first merit among the chieftains!"

There was a flash of light in the eyes of the seventh son, but it seemed that he was smiling and nodded repeatedly: "That is, that is, which of my Guangxi chieftains is not loyal? But when it comes to your father's achievements in this battle, I have to ask One sentence... Isn't your father worried about being the second Mrs. Hua?"

Mrs. Hua is actually Mrs. Wa, and "Wa" is the Guangxi accent of Hua.

Miss Huang narrowed her bright eyes, and said lightly, "Why are you worried? Mrs. Hua was hated by the court because of her husband Cen Meng's rebellion, so she had to mobilize an army to fight against the Japanese after Cen Meng's death. Prove that I am loyal to Daming, and the final result is not bad, I was named a loyal wife by the court, Le Shi Jigong..."

The Seventh Young Master chuckled, picked up the gold-painted black-bone fan on the table and opened it with a brush. He slapped his chest lightly a few times and said, "It sounds good, but it's a pity that the Cen family used Tianzhou Prefecture as the main branch back then. After that, Sizhou became the main branch... Your father is not worried about this?

I heard that the brothers Huang Gongji and Huang Gongsheng in Siming Prefecture are at odds. Although Gongji is the eldest son, the military power is in the hands of Gongsheng. The largest state of the Ming Dynasty, if there is chaos, it might not be a good thing for your father, right?At this moment, in this situation and in this situation, your father does not hold a heavy army to quell disasters at any time, but instead vigorously responds to the imperial court's call and sends troops outside. Speaking of it, I really don't understand it. "

Miss Huang's complexion froze slightly, and she immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Seven, but it seems that Mr. Seven is here today, so it's not about this business, is it?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The seventh son brushed the ground and closed his fan again, and said with a pleasant smile: "Miss Huang, I want to tell you a piece of news. According to the inquiries of the Mo family and the Zhao family, that high-ranking official came to Liuzhou for Persuade me to wait for the Liangjiang (left and right) chieftains to agree to set up officials in the Bazhai area."
