Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yizhou, Chengdu, Zhang Song's residence.

    Zhang Song hurried into the room and saw a young scribe in white smiling slightly at him.

    "Xiao Zhi, how long have you been waiting?" Zhang Song bowed his hand.  .

    The scribe in white is Fazheng, who is on good terms with Zhang Song.  At that time, Fa was serving as the military council captain, but he was not reused by Liu Zhang. He was not involved in any important military or political affairs. Recently, some fellow countrymen living in Shu County reported to Liu Zhang that Fa Zheng had bad conduct, and Liu Zhang was even more dissatisfied.  Fa Zheng was unwilling to use him, which made Fa Zheng feel frustrated.

    Fazheng's eyes were intense, staring at Zhang Song's face, as if he could see a flower. After a moment, he smiled and said: "It's worth waiting for the good news from Brother Ziqiao, no matter how long it takes!"

    Zhang Song laughed and said, "How can Xiaozhi know that there is good news?"

    Fazheng took two steps forward, held Zhang Song's hand tightly and said, "Brother Ziqiao, you might as well speak frankly, but the lord has agreed to send you to Jiangdong to pay tribute?"

    Zhang Song narrowed his eyes and said happily: "I really admire the filial piety plan! My lord has agreed! When the tribute items are ready, we can set off!"

    Fazheng was overjoyed. He let go of Zhang Song's hand, walked quickly back and forth in the room, and said excitedly: "Bashu has been isolated from the court for a long time, with no information and no ambition. This time we finally have a chance! Zi Qiao!  When brother goes to Moling, he will definitely meet with the current Wu Hou, and I also have a relationship with him!"

    Zhang Song was obviously in a good mood, he chuckled and said: "Xiao Zhi once mentioned that in the past, in order to marry Jiangdong Erqiao, a group of young talents competed with each other. Their swordsmanship, piano skills, chess skills, and archery were all top-notch in the world.  ! It¡¯s a pity that Xiao Nao lost to Sun Bofu in Go and only got second place.¡±

    Fazheng nodded and said: "Er Qiao's beauty is famous all over the world. It is enough for me to catch a glimpse of her beauty. That day I played chess with Wu Hou. I was at a disadvantage, but Wu Hou made an inexplicable mistake and I won by chance.  Later, the Marquis of Wu took this opportunity to talk to me, and I was convinced that I would not go against it. We started to exchange letters every three months and five years. The Marquis of Wu has a broad mind that no one in the world can match. The way of benevolent government, caring for the people, enriching the country and strengthening the army is the ideal of our generation.  Samethis person is the Ming Lord!"

    Hearing this, Zhang Song hurriedly closed the ajar door.  He grabbed Fazheng's sleeve and said, "Be filial and upright, so be careful! How can I change what you and I have agreed upon? If Marquis Wu treats us sincerely, I will go to Jiangdong to offer him a plan!"

    After saying that, Zhang Song took out a small scroll from the hiding place of his room.  The outside of the scroll was tightly wrapped in yellow kraft paper. Zhang Song patted it with his hand and said solemnly: "The object here is the geographical map of Bashu mountains and rivers!"

    The night is slightly dark.  It was the time to hold the lantern, and Liu Zhang wore a wide robe and long sleeves.  With his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran was enjoying a tour in the back garden.  Accompanying him is his beloved concubine Pang, who has picturesque features but a plump figure.

    The back garden is filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, which are basically common types in Bashu. They are colorful and blooming in full bloom. Occasionally, there are some rare flowers and plants, which are brought to and sold by Bashu merchants from the Central Plains.

    Liu Zhang usually likes to play with flowers and plants. At this time, he was carefully admiring an orchid. A personal maid with delicate features hurriedly came over. When she saw Liu Zhang, she saluted and said: "Master, Mr. Wang has something important to see you!"

    Liu Zhang frowned slightly when he heard this. The official matters had been discussed during the day. Wang Lei was asking to see him now. Is there any other emergency?

    "Take him to the room to meet me." Liu Zhang suppressed his unhappiness and asked Pang to go back to the room to rest before he walked lightly to the room.

    Wang Lei was already in the room. After saluting, Wang Lei hurriedly reported: "My lord, please do not send Zhang Ziqiao to the court to worship him. This person may do something detrimental to Bashu!"

    Liu Zhang was secretly surprised and asked hurriedly: "Have you heard anything? Or seen anything?"

    Wang Lei shook his head and said: "We are just suspicious. Zhang Ziqiao has been harboring disloyalty for a long time, and Zhou Gongjin has been spying on me, Bashu, for a long time. If Zhang Ziqiao and Zhou Gongjin collude with each other to plot against Bashu, then Bashu will be in danger! My lord is in danger!"

    Liu Zhang felt relieved, thought for a moment, and pondered: "There is no real evidence for this matter. Zhang Ziqiao has lived in Bashu for many generations and is very loyal to me. You don't need to be suspicious. Everyone, remember not to make wild guesses and be good at uniting.  Otherwise, the political situation in Bashu will no longer be as clear as it is today!"

    Wang Lei became anxious and argued: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Why did my lord trust Zhang Ziqiao without any reason and ignore our loyal advice?"

    Liu Zhang felt slightly unhappy when he heard this, waved his hands and said: "I am not Jie and Zhou, and you are not Bigan, so how can I say such loyal words that go against my ears? I have great trust in Zhang Ziqiao, and he will repay me with his loyalty. This is the human heart. You don't have to.  Say more!"

    After saying that, Liu Zhang ignored Wang Lei, turned around, and walked slowly back to the house, leaving Wang Lei with a look of astonishment on his face.  Evening breeze??, Wang Leikong stood for half an hour, finally stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and left.

    Half a month later, Zhang Song and his party set off. There were more than a hundred packhorses carrying Shu brocade, well salt and many other tributes. It can be seen that Liu Zhang spent a lot of money this time.  This time, Liu Zhang made an exception and led all the civil and military officials out of the city to see him off. To Zhang Song's surprise, he felt a little grateful and sighed more.  Liu Zhang loved his people like a son and was generous to his subordinates. It would be great if he were more ambitious!  With Bashu's wealth, it can also have a place in the Central Plains.  Pity!  In troubled times, you must always find a wise master, who can be your wife, your son, and your family, instead of settling in a corner and being a boring rich man!

    Zhang Song hid his complicated eyes and bowed politely to bid farewell to Liu Zhang. He glanced around and saw the gloomy faces of Wang Lei and Huang Quan, and couldn't help but chuckle secretly.  Turning around again, Fazheng's eyes full of encouragement met his.  Zhang Song nodded slightly, meaning to tell Fa Zheng that he could rest assured.  Afterwards, Zhang Song bowed to everyone, turned around and left gracefully.

    Due to the large number of pack horses, Zhang Song and his party traveled very quickly. Fifteen days later, they arrived in Jiangzhou. Here, they no longer had to take the land route, but instead took the water route down to Moling.

    Li Yan, the governor of Bajun, was familiar with Zhang Song, so he naturally wanted to host a banquet. After the two chatted for a while, Li Yan waved his hand and ordered the servants around him to go out. His face suddenly darkened and he whispered: "Ziqiao is here."  Go, are you planning to vote for Zhou Yu?"

    Zhang Song was startled and almost couldn't hold the wine cup in his hand, "Brother Zhengfang, why do you say this?" Zhang Song's voice trembled slightly.

    Li Yan stared at Zhang Song for a moment with intense eyes, then suddenly slapped the table, and sneered: "I already understand what Brother Ziqiao meant! In less than three to five years, Bashu will change its flag and change its ownership! I'm afraid  Brother Zi Qiao is Zhou Yu¡¯s internal agent!¡±
