The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 176 Wuding Hall

Two more days.

Ren Wei finally followed the envoy from Tanjin County to Pingnan County.

Zhao Dongting met Ren Wei in his yard and met the commander of the Beggar Army.

Originally, in Zhao Dongting's impression, he only imagined that Ren Wei might be a sloppy big man.After all, most of the commanders in the God Beggar Army are selected from the disciples of the Beggar Clan, and they are people of considerable status in the Beggar Clan.

However, seeing each other at this moment, he found that Ren Wei was not only not sloppy, but rather refined, with a jade-like face and handsome appearance.

It's the kind of handsome grown-up uncle.

Of course, Zhao Dongting will never admit that this uncle is more handsome than himself.

Looking at Ren Wei who was kneeling in front of him, Zhao Dongting was not in a hurry to get him up, but said, "General Ren, you ordered the release of food in Tanjin County?"

There was no joy or anger in his words.

This made Ren Wei, who had to kneel on the ground, a little confused.He even vaguely felt that the emperor seemed to be angry about this matter.

However, he still replied: "Going back to the emperor was ordered by the last general."

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting responded indifferently, and said: "General Ren was originally a member of the Beggar Clan."

"Yes."

Ren Wei replied.

Zhao Dongting still didn't let him get up, "The food in the army is no longer rich, why did General Ren order the distribution of food privately?"

At this time, there was obvious anger in his tone, but there was a smile and expectation in his eyes.

Ren Wei's sending food was naturally in line with Zhao Dongting's wishes.It's just that he also wants to test the school and test Ren Wei to see why he distributes food.

As a superior, no one will promote his subordinates casually.Zhao Dongting is now the emperor, even more so.

Ren Wei bowed his head even lower, paused, and replied: "The last general, the last general is guilty."

The smile in Zhao Dongting's eyes was stronger, but his tone was weaker, "I'm not asking whether you are guilty or not, but why you want to distribute food."

Ren Wei did not refute, but directly pleaded guilty, which made him even more recognized in his heart.

Ren Wei said: "The last general...the last general just feels that those refugees are pitiful. Before joining the army, the last general was begging with his brothers, and he knew what it was like to be hungry."

Zhao Dongting heard the words, and said again: "I will ask you again, where does the food you distribute come from?"

Ren Wei gritted his teeth, as if he was desperate, and said: "The last general ordered all the soldiers to save half of their rations!"

Zhao Dongting was really surprised this time, "Then can the soldiers in your army have enough to eat?"

Ren Wei replied: "Brothers have all come through hardships. If you save a little food every day, you can still survive."

"Ha ha!"

A smile burst out on Zhao Dongting's face, and he quickly helped Ren Wei up himself, saying: "The righteousness of the beggar army, the righteousness of the general, let me admire you!"

Ren Weiguo's face was full of confusion, he stood up following Zhao Dongting's hand, and looked at Zhao Dongting in a daze.

Is this the rainbow after the storm?

Zhao Dongting didn't care what he was thinking, but said again: "If you want to do this kind of righteous deed again in the future, tell me, and I will send you food."

Ren Wei stared blankly at Zhao Dongting, "This is the emperor?"

He really didn't understand why Zhao Dongting's attitude changed so much before and after.

Zhao Dongting didn't think there was anything wrong, and said bluntly: "You don't need to worry, I just tested why you want to distribute food. It is a good thing to distribute food to refugees. It is a very good thing. I always believe that the people are the country. The foundation. Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. Before I left Wuzhou, I also ignored this point. You have done a good job and made up for my negligence."

Ren Wei looked complicated, stopped talking, and bowed deeply.

Although it was only a few words, it made Zhao Dongting deeply rooted in his heart.Especially the sentence that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

He belongs to the beggar gang, but he is most aware of the sufferings of the people.Although the emperor is young, it is a blessing for the common people to have such an understanding.

Originally, when he and his brothers joined the army, they just wanted to fight for righteousness in their hearts and for the common people, but now, they spontaneously thought of fighting for Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting himself would never have imagined that a few sincere words would win Ren Wei's respect.

He helped Ren Wei up again, and said: "I see General Ren's complexion is elegant and quite bookish, he must have read books?"

Ren Wei replied: "Before the last general begged, it was Zeng Hanchuang who studied hard."

"Then why didn't you become an official in the court?"

"The last general wanted to obtain fame and fame, but when the situation was turbulent, his family was in trouble, there was no way to report him, and he couldn't eat enough...so he joined the beggar gang."

Speaking of this, Ren Wei couldn't help turning a little ashamed.

He did have great ambitions back then, but unfortunately, a scholar before begging didn't even have the strength to restrain a chicken.After the disaster at home, let alone enough food, he didn't even have enough to eat, and he didn't have any survival skills. Slowly, he became a beggar.

"Oh."

Zhao Dongting just nodded slightly when he heard the words.

Ren Wei raised his head and looked at Zhao Dongting's face, he was very tactful, and said: "The final general will retire."

Zhao Dongting did not keep him.

When Ren Wei left the room, he suddenly picked up a pen and began to write quickly on the desk.Up to now, Zhao Dongting's calligraphy has been practiced quite elegantly.

However, although the words are flying like dragons and phoenixes, there is really no elegance in the words he wrote.

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and yo.

I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to imagine that this will come from the hand of the emperor.

But Zhao Dongting looked left and right at his handwriting, as if he was very proud of it.

Although the words are rough, the truth is the truth.Whether it's a mule or a horse, you can tell when you pull it out for a while, and the emperor's selection of talents is nothing more than that.

After a long while, Zhao Dongting spoke up and told Zhao Da, who was facing away from him, "Arrange people to pay attention to Ren Wei."

It was Zhao Dongting himself who ordered him not to face Zhao Dongting, because Zhao Dongting really didn't want to see his face.

Zhao Datou asked without looking back: "Your Majesty, why are you staring at him? Could it be that he has a different intention?"

Zhao Dongting covered his head, and couldn't help wondering if he had to change two followers.Zhao Da and Zhao Hu are two vulgar people who are as ugly as they are ugly, and they don't know how to figure out the holy meaning.

He said angrily: "I want to promote him, observe and observe him, do you understand?"

Zhao Da immediately replied, "Okay."

Then hurriedly ran outside.

But Zhao Dongting reckoned, he still didn't understand what he was thinking.

It would be impossible for these two brothers to become people who can hear the strings and know the elegant meaning in this life.He suddenly felt so helpless.

After a few more days, the envoys sent to various places finally returned.

People from various parts of Guangxi South Road also migrated to Pingnan, Tanjin and nearby cities one after another.

It's just that some of these messengers brought back good news, while others brought back bad news.

Some leaders of the rebel army responded very readily and led their troops to serve the king in a few days, but there were also some who insisted on staying where they were and fighting against Yuan.Whether they want to serve the country, but to take advantage of the troubled times to establish themselves as kings, no one can tell for sure.Even in the Xiang armies everywhere, there are those who refuse to serve the king.They said it nicely and righteously, but in fact they might have different intentions.After all, Zhao Dongting's edict was a solicitation for the righteous army, but it was an order for the Xiang army.

They can even refuse the emperor's order, so how can they be loyal?
As for those bandits, there are naturally fewer who are willing to accept recruitment.Those who were willing to be bandits were mostly resented by the Song court.

But Zhao Dongting also knew that this kind of thing can't be rushed, and it's useless to rush, so he didn't take it too seriously.

Before he issued the edict, he had predicted that it was impossible to issue the edict by himself, and the world would follow.When the Southern Song Dynasty was in danger, he did not have such a high prestige.

What made him happy was that after some heroes in the Jianghu learned about the edict, many people really came to Pingnan County to take refuge.Most of them are rangers, but there are also many sects who have sneaked in as disciples, saying that they are willing to contribute to the court at any time.

Zhao Dongting specially set up the Wuding Hall, and included all the masters in the Wuding Hall, enshrining them as enshrined by the court, and those who were less skilled were incorporated into the Flying Dragon Army.

To be able to enter the Wuding Hall, at least one must have a strength similar to that of Zhao Da and Zhao Hu.After all, the two of them are not masters in the arena.

Wu Ding Tang can be said to be the highest military institution of the Song court.

Hall Master Le Wuwei, the offerings under it are divided into six grades, which are judged based on their merits. The first-time martial arts masters are all worshiped at the sixth grade. Even Le Wuwei, it is only because he once beheaded Yuan Jiang Wumu and escorted Zhao Dongting to go there. Baicao Valley has meritorious service, and it is specially sealed as a fourth-rank enshrinement.If you want to be promoted, you have to make more contributions.

Of course, Zhao Dongting specially explained to Le Wuhui in advance, this is really to be fair and avoid criticism in Wu Dingtang.

But Le Wuhui didn't take it to heart at all.

He didn't care at all whether he was enshrined or not, because it was only related to salary.With his temperament, if he is not destined to be with Zhao Dongting, even if he begs to be enshrined in the Wuding Hall as a first-class enshrinement, he may not pay attention.The real top masters all have arrogance in their bones, even the unruly Hong Wutian is no exception.

This is caused by their status in the arena.Just like Zhao Dongting, as the emperor, he will naturally have a noble air gradually.
