Chapter 300 Shi Ji Behind a pile of official documents, an old man sat. . He has black hair with strands of Chinese hair, a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. The most impressive thing is his eyes. They are not cloudy like those of the elderly. Instead, they are bright and energetic. With his tightly pursed lips and the iron whiskers under his chin that looked like a lion's mane, he gave off an aura of calmness and authority even when he was sitting quietly. "Has he arrived?" The dignified old man said suddenly while handling official documents. His staff were startled, but they knew how their boss did things, so they were not at a loss. "It's already here. Chen Tongpan has arranged for a boss to greet him!" A flash of disdain flashed across the old man's face, and he nodded slightly and said: "Send someone to watch this guy, don't make any trouble! Humph! I won't even look at it. What kind of place is Shaanxi and who do you think you dare to come here, it¡¯s really ridiculous!¡± ¡¡¡¡¡ Jingyuan Building is not big, it is more like a unique manor than a hotel. Although he is not big, he is the first of the thirty-six main stores in Jingzhao Mansion, which is also commonly known as the head of the line! When a group of people arrived at Jingyuan Building, two waiters walked out of the Jingyuan Building and went up to inquire. After learning that they had made a reservation, they immediately welcomed Zhao Juan and his group in with smiles on their faces. Opening the car door, Hua Xiangrong looked slightly tired. "Husband, are you here already?" "Well, we are already here. This is the head of the main store of Jingzhao Mansion! Thank you for your hard work along the way!" Looking at Hua Xiangrong, although she looked a little haggard, she still remained unabated. With his graceful appearance, Zhao Yan secretly felt a little sorry in his heart, and his voice was indescribably gentle. "What are you talking about, husband? Being able to be by your husband's side, what does the fatigue of the journey mean to you?" Hua Xiangrong shook her head and said with determination on her pretty face. Zhao Xun was moved and reached out to help Hua Xiangrong get out of the carriage. Zhao Xun stepped forward, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Madam, because Your Majesty is traveling all the way, I don't dare to disturb you for too long. I have already asked the waiter to serve the food. "Now that the prince and his wife have entered, they can use their chopsticks!" "Who is this?" Hua Xiangrong looked at Zhao Xun in surprise, and was very happy when Zhao Xun called her. "He's a friend!" Zhao Xun reached out and patted Zhao Xun's shoulder, saying with a touch of affection. Zhao Xun was flattered and said: "How can I be the prince's friend?" "I don't have so many red tapes, just meet each other's eyes!" Zhao Xun said disapprovingly. Zhao Xun couldn¡¯t help but feel a little moved in his heart, and made a gesture of invitation to change the topic that made him a little confused. "Your Majesty, please!" The group of people, led by Zhao Xun, turned around the corridor and saw a small courtyard with clumps of bamboo planted outside. In the hot autumn, people immediately felt a sense of spiritual cleansing. of coolness. There were two beautiful maids standing outside. When they saw Zhao Juan and his party, they immediately bowed and each opened a wooden door. Instantly reveal a chic bamboo house. Zhao Xun said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, this is one of the most famous villas in Jingyuan Building, the Bamboo Courtyard. Originally, the owner of Jingyuan Building was not willing to give it to me, but thanks to Your Majesty's face, I knew that I was going to have a banquet." It¡¯s the prince. Not only did he agree, but he also gave some discounts!¡± Zhao Yan smiled and said, ¡°Dalang¡¯s words are enough. I am just a prince who is just waiting to die. This time in Shaanxi, it¡¯s even more so. It¡¯s not much of a skill, how can it have such a great reputation?¡± Zhao Xun smiled and said, ¡°Not only that, but there are also several generals who came here because of their fame, but I didn¡¯t arrange for them to go to Zhuzhou for fear that the prince would be unhappy. In the courtyard. I wonder if the prince can see them?" "Who are they?" Zhao Juan knew that this was not a general who came here because of his fame. How could these generals of the Western Army at the border be convinced of their achievements? Among the Song army, one head of Xixia cavalry was equivalent to five heads of Xixia infantry, and the head of one Xixia infantry was equivalent to the heads of three bandits, bandits, etc. In the eyes of the Western Army officers and men, the Mengshan bandits that Zhao Juan fought on Jingdong East Road were top-notch bandits. Even if the barbarians on Guangnan West Road were more powerful than the bandits, they were just one barbarian soldier's head on top of two bandit heads. Who are the people being bullied by Song Jun? It's like a strong man fighting a young man, he deserves to win. Therefore, Zhao Juan's achievements really do not have much effect in Shaanxi. And why are the generals of the Western Army coming? ¡°You don¡¯t need to ask, you know that it is most likely because of the face of Zhao Zhen, who has been stationed in Shaanxi for ten or eight years. Even though Zhao Zhen was demoted, the life-and-death friendship forged on the battlefield would not be broken so easily. "There isWhat about these? "Zhao Xun asked with a calmer tone. Zhao Xun knew that the other party knew about his good intentions, or else he really thought that he came because of his reputation, and his tone must be a bit proud. He thought highly of Zhao Xun in his heart. Although this strange prince does not have a good reputation outside, he has made great achievements wherever he goes. He is indeed not an ordinary person. What a pity for his background! If not, he would definitely be in need of a position as husband-in-law! Xiao He. Although Zhao Xun felt a little regretful, he did not forget to answer Zhao Juan's question. "There are not too many people. General Wang Gui, the governor of Jingyuan and the commander of the Shengjie Army, and the commander of Yongping Village. Wang Hengping, the governor of Ji and Longzhou, and Liu Jizong, the governor of Jingyuan Road, totaled four people. " Zhao Juan couldn't help but take a high look at Zhao Zhen's face. Even though he was demoted, he still invited some well-known figures to meet him. Wang Gui is probably not Zhao Zhen's face. He is Zhao Juan's old subordinate, and he once served as After a while, Zhao Jian's generals had a deep relationship with them, but this was not the case with others. They usually had three thousand troops under their command, and their status was quite high in Shaanxi. He was equivalent to a modern brigade commander or even a division commander. When he arrived at the Yongping Village prison, Zhao Juan was a little surprised. As he entered the bamboo courtyard, he asked, "Who is that Shi Ji?" " Zhao Xun didn't ask the question very clearly, but the meaning was revealed. " If Zhao Xun really goes all out, inviting twenty or thirty generals of the Western Army is not a problem at all. It's just not necessary, and it will also reduce Zhao Xun's status. . Although Zhao Juan was squeezed out of Bianliang City by Lu Yijian and Zhang Shixun this time, he is still the King of Wei and can pay homage to anyone. He, Zhao Juan, is afraid that someone will step on him. Yes! And this Yongpingzhai prison is a very embarrassing official position. If you want to say it is low, it is not very low, but if you want to say it is high, it is completely unjustifiable. Yongpingzhai is a border village in Yanzhou and is relatively inland. The soldiers and horses stationed were only two battalions, that is, seven to eight hundred soldiers and horses, and the prisoner was only the second in command, not the first in command. Zhao Xun smiled calmly and said, "It seems that the prince does not know Shi Ji. But it doesn't matter. After all, the war took place in February and the prince had not yet arrived in Bianliang. It was not surprising that he had not seen the victory report. " Seeing that there was a reason, Zhao Xun looked at Zhao Xun quietly and listened to what he said. Zhao Xun said with admiration in his tone: "When the thief chief Li Yuanhao captured Jinming Village, he immediately sent a partial division to attack Anyuan, Saimen and Yongping are important border towns. At that time, because Yongping Village was relatively far away from Jinming Village, the news was received before the Xixia army arrived. Shi Yongping, the leader of the village, and the prisoner were frightened. After a short discussion, they decided to lead their soldiers to hide in the mountains to avoid the Xixia thieves. Shi Ji, who was still serving as the commander at that time, led his 400 people and blocked the gate of Yongping Village. Shi Ji rode on his horse and said to the village leader and the prisoner: "If the soldiers leave, what will happen to the people and food in the city?" ah? There will definitely be officials who will accuse me of this matter in the future. I, Shi Ji, am the commander and cannot avoid being beheaded. Please, you two, behead me, Shi Ji, in front of my horse! Otherwise, I, Shi Ji, would not have the guts to lead my troops and follow you. ¡¯¡± When Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but clapped his hands and said, ¡°Okay, if the generals of the Song Dynasty are like this, why worry about Xixia not being destroyed? " Zhao Xun smiled, avoided Zhao Juan's words, and continued: "The leader of the village and the prisoner were ashamed and afraid, so they returned to the Yamen with their soldiers and horses. The Xixia thieves arrived, and Shi Ji took the lead and led his soldiers to defend. The Xixia army fought hard for more than ten days, but had no choice but to retreat. Afterwards, the village owner and the prisoner shamelessly moved to another official position based on their merits. When Shi Ji received the reward, he said: "Fortunately, the enemy did not capture the city. How dare I talk about my merits!" ¡¯¡± Zhao Yan sighed: ¡°He is a good man, but he is afraid that he will be ostracized by others! It's hard to break, so Dalang asked him to come to see me, but how much do you want me to take care of you? " Although he was told that his thoughts were broken, Zhao Xun did not feel resentful. Instead, he said with a bit of helplessness: "That's it! I have some friendship with Shi Ji, but I really can't bear to see such a loyal person being shredded in a horse-and-mortar because of being ostracized! He might even be falsely accused of being afraid of the enemy and defeated. But now in Shaanxi, the only person I can think of who can help him is the prince who is equally loyal! " Zhao Yan laughed and said: "You don't have to flatter me, but you are right. Such a loyal person should not fall for the machinations of his own people! Go and invite the four of them over! " Zhao Xun was overjoyed and nodded quickly. However, he did not follow Zhao Juan's instructions and invite Wang Gui, Shi Ji and the other four people over now. Instead, he took the last step and brought Zhao Juan and others into the exquisite living room. , then left.The room has a strong Tang Dynasty style. In addition to the hall, there is also an inner room for people to rest. Hua Xiangrong was really tired, so she went into the inner room to freshen up. Zhao Juan was sitting on his knees in the hall, where cold dishes were already prepared. In hot weather, eating crisp and sweet melon fruits is really the most wonderful thing. Zhao Juan asked Du Xiansheng, Yang Zhen, Mei Yaochen, Qian Yanyuan and others who had followed him to Shanxi to sit down.
