Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 98
"It doesn't have to be like this." Zhao Dezhao waved his hand, told Huang Erzhu and others to put away their sabers, and said with a smile, "With this hero's skill and strength, if he intends to commit an assassination, all of you should draw your sabers now." It's too late."

Of course, this statement is not in line with the truth. Those who can be selected by Zhao Dezhao as personal guards are all veterans who have survived many battles in the battlefield. They have both courage and agility, experience and courage. The body will be chopped into sausages with a few waist knives.

Zhao Dezhao joked like this deliberately, in order to put gold on that person's face. What the hairy Phoenix cares most about is not to be regarded as a weak chicken. A little praise will be beneficial to the following conversation Otherwise, the disparity in status between the two parties will make it difficult to get rid of each other's wariness, and it will be more troublesome to get the desired result.

Sure enough, after hearing this joke, the burly man's face became brighter, and he smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment."

Zhao Dezhao wanted to find out about his details, but he didn't directly ask him about his name and past experience, which aristocratic family he was born in the Southern Han Dynasty, what officials he had been in, etc. Others might be very concerned about this, but what he was interested in was Another problem:
"You just said that you once led troops to fight the Great Song Dynasty. Did you win or lose that battle?"

"The villain is ashamed and failed to win."

"There's no need to be ashamed. The small imperial court of the Southern Han Dynasty has always been weak, and it deserves to be defeated by the Great Song Dynasty!"

"But the villain was not defeated. In the battle in the plains, the damage of the two sides was roughly equal."

Zhao Dezhao was really taken aback at this time. The Southern Han Dynasty has always had extremely weak troops, and there were almost no cavalry. It would be quite unreasonable to draw a tie with the Song army in the plains with weak troops at a disadvantage. Of course , provided that the person is not boasting.

"No! You just lost, a big defeat!" Zhao Dezhao's tone suddenly became cold. No matter how interested he was in this person, he would never loosen his position on this issue.

The burly man suddenly raised his head, with a look of resentment on his face.

Zhao Dezhao was not afraid that he would not be convinced, so he said coldly: "My great emperor of the Song Dynasty is in the court, with a lot of virtuous officials, and the same desires, the national power is strong, the land is vast, the household registration is numerous, and the financial resources are rich. How could your small court in a remote corner of the Lingnan be able to do this?" Comparison? Since ancient times, whenever the weak resist the strong, and the small enemy is strong, if it fails to win a big victory, it will be tantamount to a big defeat—is this saying wrong?"

The burly man lowered his head and remained silent. Those grandiose words such as "the sage is in court, and the virtuous ministers are in abundance" may sound a little bragging, but it depends on who you compare with. Compared with the Southern Han The absurdity of the small imperial court is unbearable, and the Great Song Dynasty really doesn't know how to get better.

After beating enough, Zhao Dezhao's tone turned gentle, and he began to use words to find out the details of this person.

"Hero, since you are quite capable of leading troops, why did you flee north to Tokyo, the Great Song Dynasty? Could it be that your king has blind eyes and mistook gold for rubble, or that you committed a serious crime in the country, you must not Why don’t you escape and flee north?”

In Zhao Dezhao's view, since this person was an official and led a soldier in the Southern Han Dynasty, he must be familiar with the internal affairs of the Southern Han Dynasty, and he will definitely be of great use in the future. This person is even more important than the Zhou who will be entertained later. The Minister of Dali Temple, you have to find out the details before you can recruit him.

The burly man showed embarrassment on his face, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Your guess is wrong, the villain has not committed any serious crimes in the country, our king also appreciates the villain, and wants to promote the villain's official position, the villain This is why people have to abandon their official positions and flee north."

Huang Erzhu and the other three guards looked at me and I looked at you, each of them had an absurd look on their faces;

Zhao Dezhao was so angry that his fists were hardened. How dare I chat with you here for a long time and treat you as a treasure. I didn’t expect that you are actually a fucking fool who brags and doesn’t draft, because you are avoiding promotion. Want to escape?Your fucking integrity is comparable to that of Zhou Wuwang's elder brother!

The burly man seemed to know what Zhao Dezhao and the others were thinking, lowered his head and said slowly: "Our lord has a strange rule, he only trusts eunuchs, and believes that only eunuchs can have no selfish desires and be truly loyal to the lord..."

"That's because he favored eunuchs and eunuchs. The disasters caused by eunuchs were common in the Han and Tang dynasties, so it's not surprising." Zhao Dezhao interrupted impatiently and didn't care much.

The burly man shook his head.

"It's not because of favoring eunuchs and eunuchs, but because civil servants and military generals want to be trusted and reused by the lord, they must first undergo castration, making them full court eunuchs."

"But all high-ranking officials and important positions in the country are not granted to those who have been eunuchs. Some people do not hesitate to eunuch themselves in order to gain power, so that is up to them."

"But like a villain, if he is appreciated by the king and promoted to an important position, he must be castrated first, even if he doesn't want to, he can't refuse..."

Before the man had finished speaking, Zhao Dezhao suddenly recalled the relevant historical gossip about the small imperial court of the Southern Han Dynasty. It really happened!Liu Yu, the undying emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, was really an extremely wonderful master. After counting the years, it was roughly this person who was in power.

"Fang is such a good man, how can he bear such humiliation? If he really suffered that knife, he will die without seeing his ancestors in the future!" The burly man's forehead was bulging with veins, his tone was angry, he gasped heavily, and said no more go down.

But everyone has already understood that he had to abandon his official position and flee to the north in order to keep the flesh under his crotch and his dignity as a man.

Zhao Dezhao knew some historical facts, so he was a little prepared. Although he felt it was absurd, he was not too surprised.

It's just that Huang Erzhu and the other three guards suffered so much that their faces turned purple, and their right hands on their sabers kept shaking. It was really hard to endure.

Zhao Dezhao looked at the sky, it was almost time to go to Fanlou to receive guests, so he stopped talking with that person immediately, and said calmly: "Since you have nowhere to go right now, you should first get the security money and go there with other refugees. Set it up in my farm for now."

In Zhao Dezhao's plan, this person will be of great use in the future, but there is no need to tell him too much right now, just keep him.

Unexpectedly, the burly man shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, I am willing to work on the land and get food and clothing. It's just that the villain just heard that he is going to settle down in the farm and needs to stand down." The deed, selling yourself as a slave, the villain is not willing, so I have to thank you for the money. The villain did not come here for thousands of miles, not to be a slave!"

A lowly vagrant who is not as good as a wild dog dares to be so rebellious in front of His Highness, he simply doesn't know what is good or bad, several guards couldn't help but get angry, and pulled out half of their waist knives one after another as a threat.

Zhao Dezhao appreciated this person's arrogance more and more in his heart, but the words he said became colder and colder: "If you want to settle down in Tokyo for a living, if you don't want to sell yourself, then you have to sell your life. Selling your body or your life, this king happens to be able to buy both." Come on, it's up to you to choose!"

My king?The burly man's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he raised his head in amazement to look at the luxuriously dressed and imposing young man in front of him.

"His Royal Highness Tianshui County is here, can you look at him rudely? Hurry up and kneel down to pay respects!" A guard sternly shouted.

The burly man's thoughts turned sharply, and he knelt down without any hesitation and said in a deep voice: "Fang Zhengqi, the villain, is willing to die for His Highness! Your Highness is coming to Japan to march, and the villain is willing to be the vanguard of his subordinates!"

Zhao Dezhao nodded with a smile, and snapped his fingers lightly, well, this life was bought cheaply, and he bought it without any official titles, and he was so clever.
