Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 969
The arrival of the Xuzhou fleet had a great impact on the situation in Shouchun, especially ordinary people who did not have an exact idea of ​​the large amount of food. Full of food bags, the impact on the stability of people's hearts is undoubtedly huge.

Earlier, the Governor's Mansion transferred a large amount of rice and grain from the town to the north, and even the next year's grain was moved, which more or less caused adverse effects.The Xuzhou fleet's posture can be said to have provided a lot of help to the Governor's Mansion.

However, the help Xi Jian provided to the Governor's Mansion did not stop there. When Shen Zhezi sent someone on board to secretly welcome Xi Jian to Bieye, Xi Jian refused and instead expressed the hope that they would meet in the Governor's Mansion now.

Shen Zhezi was taken aback for a moment when he heard his subordinates return Xi Jian, and then he no longer hesitated. He changed his attitude of avoiding visitors a few days ago, and personally led Du He and other Huainan officials to Bagong Mountain Meet at the pier.

On the journey from Shouchun City to Bagong Mountain, a large number of people quickly gathered. Although Shen Zhezi had returned to the town long ago, the news was only spread in a small area, and it was the first time he appeared in front of the public. Therefore, there was an endless stream of people coming from inside and outside Shouchun City after hearing the news, and there were crowds of people on both sides of the road. Sometimes people couldn't bear the excitement, clapped their hands and praised loudly: "Liang Gong is heroic! The governor is magnificent!"

At Shen Zhezi's current stage, he doesn't need to care too much about the external evaluation, but he still feels a little proud when he hears the praise and joy of the villagers along the way. He abandons the car and gets on the horse, waving to both sides frequently.

"You have a great reputation in your youth, and all the people look up to you. In this life, there is no other son except Shen Weizhou!"

Seeing such a lively scene on the shore, Xi Jian couldn't help saying with emotion for a while.

This time when Xi Jian came to Shouchun, the two sons accompanied him, and now they are at his father's side, when they heard Xi Jian's emotion, they reacted differently.

The older Xi Min, who is currently dressed in a scholar's feather cloak in a loose bun, has a calm face, after hearing this, he smiled and said: "Liang Gong has been known to the world for a long time, and this year's northward march has made a lot of achievements, and he has lived up to his old reputation. It is reasonable for the people of Huainan to be so eager to come to the great position."

As for the younger Xi Tan, who was not as strong as the weak crown, his face showed a bit of arrogance when he heard the words, and he frowned and said: "I have little contact with Mr. Liang, but I usually hear people say that this person thinks he is young and strong. He has a domineering style, and it seems to be the case now. Even if he is not considered a famous noble, but his father came to see him as a virtuous elder, he still has the attitude of entrusting him to others, it is really a bit..."

When Xi Jian heard the words of the second son, he only glanced at the eldest son, but looked at the second son with a stern look, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Weizhou has benefited the world, even your father dare not show restraint in front of him. As for You little boy, how much is your experience, how much is what you see? You are ignorant and lying to say that you are strong with mere weakness. How dare you be inhumane? Compared with Shen Weizhou, your vision and talent are still there. It's under the feet of a cow!"

Hearing his father reprimanded him so harshly, Xi Tan was also terrified, and hurriedly bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything more, but hearing his father belittle himself so much, he felt a little uneasy after all.

He didn't have much contact with Shen Weizhou, but he saw what kind of person his brother-in-law was, and based on this, the number of people he could be friends with was limited even if he was excellent.Although this Shen Weizhou has repeatedly made great achievements that are unmatched by others, and even Xi Tan admires him, but in the end he is still dissatisfied because his father has traveled far away because of his one letter.

Especially before, he was so entrusted that he didn't come to greet him in person, and it seemed that he didn't pay attention to his family at all.But no matter how domineering Shen Weizhou is, when his father shows a little dissatisfaction, he will obediently come to greet him!
Therefore, from Xi Tan's point of view, it seems that Huainan's special arrangements for the joyous crowds on both sides of the road are just to save Shen Weizhou's face.Of course, he will only keep this understanding in his heart, and he will not pretend to be smart to preach it. After all, he has a good family education, and he still has a sense of self-cultivation.

After another quarter of an hour, Shen Zhezi and a group of Huainan officials finally passed through the crowd and arrived at the pier, and boarded the boat in person, and walked away from a distance, with a bit of sincere gratitude on their faces, and only smiled wryly when they approached Said: "Why does Xigong do this?"

Xi Jian waved his hand and pushed away his second son who was supporting him, stepped forward and handed his hand to Shen Zhezi, and said with a smile, "I am old, sick and disabled, and I am no longer able to use it. Fortunately, I have won a great reputation because of the young and strong in the country. It's nothing to worry about. If you can help out a little bit because of this, you can be regarded as old and not embarrassing."

"Xi Gong's words really make the younger generation ashamed. The most important thing in the country is that the second and third sons can be the masters. The former sages pioneered and the younger ones succeeded. Because it is Jin Zuo, there is hope for revival."

Shen Zhezi responded humbly again, then turned his head and smiled and nodded at Xi Yin, Xi Tan and the rest of the accompanying Xuzhou officials.

Everyone else on the boat also stepped forward to salute, including Xi Tan who was slightly dissatisfied with Shen Zhezi, and they didn't dare to neglect.Although Xi Tan had a little resentment towards Shen Zhezi, but when he actually stood face to face, he had to sigh with emotion that this son-in-law was indeed of excellent manners and demeanor, which made it hard to feel disgusted, and a few words already made people quite close thought.This is probably the innate endowment charm, which makes people feel inferior.

There were many people on the pier and it was not a place to stay for long. After the officials of the two towns met each other and exchanged greetings, they disembarked together.Shen Zhezi personally helped Xi Jian into the bullock cart, and accompanied him, and the group of talents headed for Shouchun City in a mighty way.

The reason why Shen Zhezi didn't greet him in person before was not because he was trying to put on a show, to be arrogant and respectful. Although he invited Xi Jian to enter the town, but in the current situation, as the two towns' uncles, it is actually a bit uncomfortable for them to meet in such a high-profile manner. OK.

Shen Zhezi doesn't have to hide too much in this regard, at least as Huainan King stubbornly went north, some of his conflicts with the Jiangdong court can be said to have become semi-public, and it doesn't make much sense to hide it.

But Xi Jian is not the case. In the past few years, the relationship between Xi Jian and Taichung has been handled well, and it has even been used as a model to contrast Shen Zhezi's inaction.Moreover, this business is already old, and there is no need to put yourself in a dangerous struggle any longer.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi was originally unwilling to disclose the news of Xi Jian's visit to Shouchun, and it was also for Xi Jian's consideration.But Xi Jian said that he wanted to make this matter public, which was tantamount to expressing his solidarity with Shen Zhezi. In any case, Shen Zhezi wanted to accept this friendship.

After getting into the car, Shen Zhezi sighed, "It's really embarrassing for Xi Gong."

"Just now my son Youyan Weizhou, you are not lacking in domineering, if you insist on thanking me again, even I will inevitably think so!"

After Xi Jian heard the words, he laughed, and there was no lack of heroism in his eyes: "Right now I am indeed a bit old and timid, but in the past years, I have also fought fiercely against rebels and protected the people of one side. Why do such disturbances deter me? It can be regarded as a little consistent if it can be beneficial to side things.”

Speaking of this, Xi Jian looked at Shen Zhezi again, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.In his opinion, it is indeed a bit inappropriate for King Huainan to cross the river this time, or because of their different positions, those people in Jiangdong are indeed narrow-minded and prejudiced against them, Fang Bo of the border town, and refuse to face up to what they have done to restore Jin Zuo effort.

It is true that if you want to maintain the stability of the Jiangdong situation, you must reach a balance between all parties.But the so-called balance is to maintain the status quo, hinder each other, and let the situation return to a pool of stagnant water.

But at present, Jinzuo's recovery is very obvious. If you don't advance, you will retreat. It is necessary to select high-level warriors and fight bravely. Those ideas in the past are simply pedantic views and are not beneficial to the world.

Previously, Xi Jian might have slightly agreed with the princes of Taifu, and the old chaos of the Langya Wang clan showed that it was not the luck of the world to dominate the family.However, with the magnificent military exploits this year, Hebei Qunni had little power to fight back, Wang Shi's power was undoubtedly displayed, and Xi Jian couldn't bear the situation to return to the old state.In the final analysis, he also advanced because of martial arts, and spent half of his life in Bianzhen.

As for the public appearance in Shouchun this time, it will indeed bring some troubles to Xi Jian, but even if he does not do so, it is absolutely impossible for him to be involved in the dispute between Huainan and Taicheng.There are only these forces in the world today. If Taicheng wants to check and balance Shen Weizhou, it is already difficult to rely on some small actions. It is necessary to find a strong Fangzhen to support them. Who else can they choose besides Xuzhou?

But not to mention that the cooperation between the two towns has become closer this year. Shen Weizhou has exerted influence on all parties in Xuzhou before, and Huainan's own strength has also expanded rapidly. Xi Jian does not think that Xuzhou still has the role of checking and balancing Shen Weizhou.

What's more, he had already lured wolves into the house before, if he still messed around with the Taifu princes, it might not be effective, not to mention, he might even pay for himself.

Another important point is that Xi Jian does not think that there are people in Jiangdong who can do better than Shen Weizhou in terms of side affairs.At his age, it is inevitable that there will be private plans, but apart from private plans, one cannot ignore the future of the country.But now, it is Shen Weizhou who can speak for the community.

So since it was unavoidable, Xi Jian simply stated his attitude and completely stood by Shen Weizhou's side.Although the two towns are next to each other, and this kid was relentless in poaching his corners in previous years, but over the years, Xi Jian thinks he can see clearly the character of Shen Weizhou, and he is a person worthy of entrustment.

Hearing the roaring cheers on both sides of the road, Xi Jian was also very affected, and said with a smile: "This time, Master Wang's Northern Expedition, I am old and sick, and I am deeply sorry. Hear the details, and make up for my regrets."

Shen Zhezi had no reason to refuse, so he smiled and nodded after hearing the words, and began to tell Xi Jian the detailed process of the Northern Expedition starting from March.Having Xi Jian, an important general in Jiushi Bianzhen as an audience, can be regarded as somewhat satisfying his desire to show off that he has been suppressing.

　At this point, I can still see this chapter. I am also a person who has fallen in the end of the world. Reading makes me feel happy. . .
