Chapter 376: Zhou Lang in Those Years

The night is deep and the wind is calm, the moon is hidden and the stars are bright.

The Prince's Mansion sent a carriage to send Xie Xinghan back to the mansion. Although Xie Xinghan had a thousand words to ask Wang Yang, she knew that this was not the place to talk. Coupled with the late hour, it was not good for Wang Yang to go to the Xie residence, and Wang Yang had things to talk about with Kong Zhangyu, and Kong Zhangyu seemed to have the intention to chat with Wang Yang, so Xie Xinghan had to leave first.

Although the Prince's Mansion sent a carriage with an escort, Wang Yang saw that the night was too deep, so he pointed four guards to follow and protect.

Before the carriage set off, Xie Xinghan poked half a small face out from behind the curtain, using the return of the brocade robe as an excuse, and shyly invited Wang Yang to be a guest at home tomorrow. Wang Yang knew Xie Xinghan's anxiety, so he naturally agreed.

The carriage dust went far away, and Kong Zhangyu praised:

"Young Master Wang has amazing talent, and also has the intention of pitying fragrance. Literary and martial arts are romantic, even better than Zhou Lang in those years..."

Wang Yang smiled and waved his hand:

"What Zhou Lang, my life was almost not saved. Thanks to your mediation, I was able to turn around. This kindness and friendship, I will engrave in my lungs."

Wang Yang bowed solemnly to Kong Zhangyu.

Kong Zhangyu returned the salute in panic!

"Young Master, don't say that! Young Master has heaven-sent talent and is looked upon by the Prince, so even if I didn't say a word, Young Master would be as stable as a rock. Besides, the Prince's treatment of Young Master is really deep, so he tests him sharply. How can one hold a continuous city jade and break it himself? Young Master doesn't know, when the Prince was about to take action against Young Master, the Prince was absolutely not allowed, but Li Jingxuan..."

Then Kong Zhangyu told Wang Yang about how the Prince of Badong insisted on not allowing it, and how Li Jingxuan forced him again and again. The most awesome thing was that Kong Zhangyu didn't say a lie throughout the whole process, but had details and omissions, and changed the order, picking out Li Jingxuan's words to talk about, and then mixing in the Prince of Badong's reaction. Originally, it was all the staff, speaking in unison, wanting to kill Wang Yang, and the final decision was the Prince of Badong, but after Kong Zhangyu said so, the shit basin was all buckled on Li Jingxuan alone.

After Kong Zhangyu finished speaking, he sighed:

"Although this person has talent, firstly he is jealous of the wise, secondly he is used to taking risks, thirdly he is ignorant of the general situation, and fourthly he likes to compete for profit. If he cannot change, the one who will ruin the Prince's affairs in the future must be this person!"

Wang Yang knew that Kong Zhangyu wanted to use his own knife to deal with Li Jingxuan, so he immediately expressed his disgust for Li Jingxuan, belittled his talent, and praised Kong Zhangyu for being old and planning for the country, loyal and unparalleled, truly the pillar of the Prince's Mansion, and the most important responsibility!

Kong Zhangyu immediately said he didn't dare to be humble, saying that Wang Yang was the pillar of the Prince's Mansion, not just the Prince's Mansion, but even the pillar of the world in the future!

The two praised and tested each other, but they were very measured, stopping at the point, and many things were left unsaid, just expressing friendliness to each other, and mutual exclusion to the "public enemy" Li Jingxuan. It was considered a happy conversation.

Wang Yang took the opportunity to entrust Kong Zhangyu to take care of Le Zhan, Le Yue Xiao Pang, Yu Yuling, etc., especially worrying about Liu Zhao and Zong Ce, after all, the county prison is not comparable to the Prince's Mansion, and the two are old...

Kong Zhangyu agreed, and Wang Yang gave Kong Zhangyu twenty gold beads.

Kong Zhangyu refused to accept it, and hurriedly pushed back!

Saying that he was happy to be able to serve Wang Yang, how could he accept a thank-you gift? He also said that with Wang Yang's status, he didn't need himself to handle this little thing at all. Just a casual greeting, who below would dare not listen? He also said that he was just temporarily supplying the expenses for the Prince's Mansion, and he couldn't let him spend his own money.

Wang Yang stuffed the brocade bag containing the gold beads into Kong Zhangyu's hand while saying earnestly:

"Mr., don't refuse. These are just small things, how can they be enough to thank you? It's just that after you agree to this matter, you will inevitably have to spend money in the mansion and inside and outside the county prison. These thin assets are just for you to use temporarily. It's not good to let you spend effort and money. Besides, I am young and my qualifications are still shallow, how can I compare to you who are familiar with all things and have access to all paths?"

This remark made Kong Zhangyu feel extremely useful and comfortable!

Just feeling that the noble young master of the Langya Wang clan personally sent him a gift, and called him Mr. one by one, and asked for advice one by one, it was simply the highlight of his life! When he went back and told his young wife, and took out the gold beads, saying it was a gift from Wang Yang, that was really a face-saving thing!

Thinking about Wang Yang's arrogance towards those colleagues, even if he didn't bow his head in front of the Prince! Comparing it with the respect for himself, he couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Wang Yang!

He refused a few times, but couldn't refuse, so he accepted the gold beads with a "helpless" look, while secretly praising in his heart that he was indeed the Langya Wang clan. Even if the family was declining, the handwriting was not something ordinary people could compare with. One shot was twenty gold beads, and I don't know how big the beads are, but this weight is at least tens of thousands! (Worth tens of thousands of coins) On the other hand, he promised that he would definitely ensure everyone was safe, telling Wang Yang to rest assured.

Wang Yang entrusted Kong Zhangyu to focus on taking care of everyone's food and drink, especially in the county prison, and must let Liu Zhao and Zong Ce live comfortably, and satisfy their requirements as much as possible, and all extra expenses would be borne by him.

Kong Zhangyu praised Wang Yang for his righteousness, and then very heroically indicated that the expenses didn't need Wang Yang to worry about, and everything would be handled by him!

Although he did miss an opportunity to make money, he could calculate the account of whether to make this small money or Wang Yang's favor. Besides, he could completely spend it from the public, and he didn't need to spend his own money...

Wang Yang was most worried about Liu Zhao and Zong Ce, but he didn't know that Liu and Zong were the best among all the hostages. Firstly, the involvement was not heavy, and there was no special explanation. Secondly, they were not locked in the Prince's Mansion, but in the county prison. Now it was no longer Liu Yin who was in charge of the prison, and it was no longer the time to govern by poverty. Both were big aristocratic families, each with their own relationship network, especially Zong Ce was not a soft persimmon. As soon as he entered the prison, he released words, saying that he couldn't beat the Prince, and he admitted it. But he could easily beat the prison officials! Whoever wanted to be determined not to mix in Jingzhou in the future, then just let the horses come to govern him. Regardless of his life or death in the future, the Zong and Liu families would definitely report it in the future!

The officials and soldiers were all locals in Jingzhou, guarding their homes, who had nothing to do and offended Liu and Zong? As for the prison officials, they didn't provoke this leisure matter. Originally, this kind of case was the most taboo to participate in. Besides, the Prince of Badong's rebellion was unpredictable. Anyway, they were small people, everything had nothing to do with them, just manage their own duties, mix if they could, and ignore everything else. As long as the above didn't specifically explain to judge, they would rather be a mud sculpture, and they were happy to be idle.

In this way, Zong Ce dominated the prison, not only eating and drinking as usual at home, but even taking the piano into the prison! Liu Zhao also got a basket of books and sent them in. The two old brothers read books and played the piano, quarreling and playing chess, which was considered leisurely...

Prince's Mansion bathroom, water vapor rolling.

Li Jingxuan stood outside the screen with his head down, separated by several layers of gauze. Inside the gauze, the Prince of Badong closed his eyes and soaked in hot water, his arms stretched out, lazily saying:

"Gongyu, this Prince has always valued you. But when you are a person, your mind must be open—"

Li Jingxuan raised his head suddenly, his face a bit flushed in the water vapor:

"Your Highness! I am completely out of loyalty! There is absolutely no jealousy..."

The Prince of Badong still closed his eyes, his voice carrying a bit of happy laughter:

"Look, look, you said jealousy yourself..."

Li Jingxuan:????

"Your Highness—"

"Alright, alright, this Prince knows you are loyal. Wang Yang is also, saying what kind of dog, it's too much! This Prince will definitely reprimand him severely when he finds a chance. Alright, if there is nothing else, go back. The water will be cold in a while—"

Li Jingxuan called out urgently:

"Your Highness—"

The Prince of Badong became impatient:

The Prince of Badong became impatient:

You are not an aristocratic family, you can't suppress the field, and those aristocratic family retainers will not look at you directly. Xue Shao and Tao Rui are aristocratic families, but firstly, their prestige is not enough, and secondly, the Hedong Xue cannot suppress the four major families of Jingzhou. As for the Xunyang Tao, it is even worse. They are almost downgraded to cold families, worse than when our old Xiao family started.

Then what to do? This Prince can't lead it himself, right? So don't say Wang Yang has military strategy, even if he doesn't, just based on the four words Langya Wang clan, plus his relationship with the Jingzhou aristocratic families, every family sells him face, so it is the most logical for him to hang the name of the commander, not to mention that this strategy was offered by him—"

Li Jingxuan just wanted to speak, the Prince of Badong stretched out his arm, splashing fine water, his laziness remained, but his tone had a bit more brightness:

"He wants to plot military power, that's normal! With such talent, what's the problem with wanting to lead troops? What did he say? Something about a man's ambition, establishing merit and name, a husband's self-promise, that sentence, it's really refreshing—"

"Your Highness!"

"But rest assured—"

The Prince of Badong opened his eyes, his body leaned forward slightly, his shoulders and back bulged from the water surface, like a fierce tiger about to come out of the deep pool:

"This Prince will never let him hold military power, never.

This is not because this Prince suspects he has two hearts, but because this person's talent is too great.

This Prince can use Zhang Liang, can use Han Xin, can use Xiao He.

But if there is a person who may combine the abilities of Zhang, Han, and Xiao, and he himself is a noble of a high family, heaven-sent and intelligent, then this Prince will definitely not allow him to touch military power!

It's not just military! Even holding great power is not okay!

Now you should be at ease, right?" ===== CHAPTER 377 =====

"So this Prince can use him, reward him, be friends with him, and promise him wealth and glory, but I will never let him command troops!"

And it's not just troops! Even holding great power is out of the question!

Now you should be at ease, right?"
