Chapter 124: See Song Que talking about the world
The exterior and interior of Songjia Mountain City will give people two completely different feelings. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć If the tall and sturdy stone walls, the strong men and large and small instruments all over the walls, remind people of attacking and defending, then the flow of people behind the city walls, and the neighborhoods where chickens and dogs smell each other, will only make people think of prosperity and peace.
There are hundreds of houses distributed in the city, connected by more than 10 orderly and bluestone-paved avenues, the most distinctive point is that it rises layer by layer according to the mountain, and each floor is connected by stone steps and slopes respectively, which is convenient for residents to fall off immediately.
Trees and flowers are planted all over the roadside, and the spring water on the mountain is introduced to irrigate into a stream, interspersed in the garden residence, forming a small bridge and flowing water, pond pavilions and other infinite beautiful scenery, the space is spacious and comfortable, the scenery of the Jiangnan garden is very large, and it is like a big garden on a mountain.
The main building complex is gathered on a large platform about two miles around the ninth floor, the pavilions are magnificent, the building is elegant, composed of wood and stone, from the eaves to the flower windows, the wisps are meticulously decorated, creating a majestic style full of southern cultural atmosphere, and making people feel the pivotal position of the Song valve in the south. Li Qin followed Song Lu and Song Zhi to intersperse the pavilions, flowers and trees, and came to the gate of the courtyard at the entrance of the Grinding Knife Hall at the end of the mountain city.
Song Zhi suddenly stopped and asked Song Lu in a low voice: "I think today's meeting is related to the future of our Song Valve, do you think the two of us should accompany Wu Gong to go in to see the eldest brother?" ā
Song Lu sighed: "I didn't know that this meeting was very important." However, the eldest brother has his own considerations, I think he should want to meet Wu Gong alone. ā
Song Zhi nodded with a wry smile, agreeing with Song Lu's guess, and the worried look on his face became deeper and deeper.
Li Qin was a little puzzled by this: "What are you worried about? It's just to meet the Heavenly Sword, it's not that scary! He shook his head slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Huh? Are you afraid that the valve owner will use me to test the knife? ā
Song Zhi was worried about this, and Zhong Zhong said, "It is inevitable to try your sword technique. I'm worried if he'll kill you out of nowhere. Whoever carved his name on the whetstone, as is customary, will eventually die by his sword. I'm afraid he'll not change it, and that's bad. ā
"Haha!" Li Qin laughed and said, "I admit that Song Que is very powerful, but why did he kill me? How dare he kill me? Can you kill me? ā
Song Zhidao: "The eldest brother has always behaved unfathomably, a while ago he secretly left the mountain city, and when he came back, he engraved your name on the whetstone." ā
Li Qin was stunned: "Did he hear about my reputation in the rivers and lakes?" Hmm, don't I have a good reputation in the rivers and lakes? ā
Li Qin laughed at himself. It is also true that under the propaganda of a certain Baidao leader, Li Qin's reputation in the rivers and lakes is indeed worse. There are some people who say that he is greedy and lascivious, there are also those who say that he is a judge of the scriptures and deviates, and there are many people who say that he is cruel and easy to kill -- these are all propaganda from outsiders. On the other hand, Li Qin also smeared a lot of that sect and the forces behind him.
In short, if you don't occupy this position, others will do it.
Li Qin just obeyed the rules of intercourse with each other.
Song Lu was dismissive of this: "It's one thing to have rumors in the rivers and lakes, and it's another thing to see it with your own eyes." Cihang Jingzhai just can't see us southerners. Speaking of this, Song Lu gritted his teeth angrily, and he didn't know what had happened, which caused him, the high-level of the Song Valve, to not be very welcome to Cihang Jingzhai.
"There's a story in this?" Li Qin had a hint of curiosity in his heart, but he didn't ask in detail after all.
I only heard Song Lu continue: "The things on the rivers and lakes can only deceive those ordinary people, and we people don't care so much." But as for why the eldest brother did this, I have no clue despite many temptations, maybe he has his own ideas. However, the Sharpening Hall is indeed dangerous, and if you leave now, we will never blame you. ā
Li Qin laughed and said: "I, Li Qin, am not the one who retreats from the battle, the Lord of the Song Valve is the grandmaster, and so am I, although I may not be able to defeat him, but self-protection should be no problem." Wait! For the sake of my great cause, I also want to survive. ā
With that, Li Qin stepped into the courtyard door casually.
After entering the door, there is a curved corridor across the pond flower bed, go forward along the corridor, turn left and right, look at the four directions, the green shade is all over the garden, the scenery is different every step, and the artistic conception is peculiar.
At the end of the corridor is a hexagonal stone pavilion, which is the center of the pond, which is connected by a stone bridge to the cloister that surrounds the courtyard.
The stone bridge points directly to the other entrance, and there is another space hidden in it, where the ancient trees are towering, dense and strong, and vibrant.
Li Qin walked through the stone pavilion, crossed the bridge and climbed the corridor, through the second courtyard gate, the eyes suddenly opened, at the end is a magnificent five-bay wooden building, a locust tree as high as ten zhang in the center of the courtyard is towering high, like an umbrella to cover the building and the courtyard, in the sun shines green all over the ground, and the main building is integrated, set off each other into a jagged and majestic shape, constituting a poetic picture.
Li Qin was very happy, and after walking slowly around the locust tree to admire enough, he slowly climbed the white stone steps of the building with a plaque engraved with the words "Grinding Knife Hall".
In the huge space of the grinding knife hall, a person stands in the center of the hall with his back door, no weapons are seen on his body, his body is as straight as a javelin, he is dressed in a blue and blue hanging robe, he is majestic like a mountain, his black hair is tied in a bun with a red scarf on the top of his head, and his hands are behind.
On the walls on both sides, there are more than a dozen treasure knives of different shapes, and on the other end of the door, against the wall, there is a boulder in the shape of a stalagmite, dark and shiny, as high as a human body, adding another indescribable meaning to the already peculiar atmosphere of the knife grinding hall.
This kind of meaning is a kind of pressure, which comes from Song Que's own aura, and the architectural pattern of the Knife Grinding Hall also comes from Song Que's prestige.
The world's first swordsman - no one dares to ignore such a reputation, even if Li Qin comes from later generations, he is not afraid of this, and he can't help but attach importance to Song Que.
He came behind Song Que, stood more than a foot behind him, took a deep breath, bowed down and saluted his back, "In Xia Li Qin, I have seen the valve master!" ā
"Li Yuanhua who has apostasy?" A soft and nice voice laughed softly: "You can go farther than Yang Guang." ā
Li Qin was stunned and said, "Go far? I don't know what the owner of the valve is referring to."
Song Quexuan opened his mouth coldly: "Those things you did, Yang Jian and Yang Guang have already changed the world a lot. You're going to keep going...... Do you want to destroy the world's Taoism? ā
"Time changes, survival is the most important thing! Daotong, what do you think is the real Daotong? Li Qin calmly asked Song Que: "Shang Tong? Zhou Tong? Qin Tong? Han Tong? Or Wei Jin? The thing of the gate valve has not existed since ancient times, and naturally it cannot last forever. In fact, I think that the so-called Taoism is all minutiae, as long as our people are still there, the Han people are still in charge, they still use Chinese, they still write Chinese characters, and some changes will be made, so let him change. ā
"Aren't you afraid that the road will be too big?" Song Que asked coldly.
"So I need someone like the valve owner to check on me. In fact, in any imperial court, there must be conservative and radical people. I hope the owner will help me with your vision. Li Qin sincerely bowed his hand to Song Que's back again.
"You're so ambitious." Song Que suddenly turned around and smiled faintly.
"I am a young man, dare to think, dare to do, this is my nature." Li Qin raised his head without hesitation, and met the gaze of Heavenly Sword Song Que.
At this moment, Li Qin finally faced this powerful world, and the opponent "Heavenly Knife" Song Que, who had never met after his debut, was the first knife player in the world in this legend.
It was a handsome face without the slightest blemish, a pair of eyes that shone like jewels and radiant under the thick eyebrows, a broad forehead that showed wisdom beyond ordinary people, and a melancholy expression that could move anyone in silence, but made people feel that the depth of the emotion was elusive.
Song Que added frost to his temples, but he did not have the slightest sign of aging, but added to him the aristocratic style of a high-ranking lord and the demeanor of a Confucian scholar. It is also daunting and unattainable. With his even and graceful body shape and Yuanting Yuezhi's posture, he does have the intoxicating demeanor of a top master in the world.
He was an inch taller than Li Qinshang, and when he swept his gaze, Li Qin had a feeling of uneasiness that he couldn't hide anything from him.
Song Que looked up at the roof beam, and said indifferently: "Since Emperor Jin was captured by the Xiongnu Liu Yao, the Western Jin Dynasty fell, and the world fell into a divided situation, since then the Hu people have been raging, to Emperor Wen of Sui in the ninth year of the emperor's reign to destroy Chen, the world has been reunited, during which more than 270 years, the evil man has been in charge, and the orthodoxy of my Han family has been disturbed. Although the Sui Dynasty was founded only 38 years, to Yang Guangweiyu culture and killed in Yangzhou, although the time is short, but it has opened the opportunity of the prosperous era, who can dominate the world at this time, can make great achievements. ā
His eyes fell on Li Qin's face again, and he snorted coldly: "Does Duke Wu know why Yang Jian can win the world?" ā
Li Qin muttered, "It's time to arrive, right?" ā
Song Que looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "Well said, at that time, the young emperor succeeded to the throne, Yang Jian was in power, and the world was easy in ancient times, and there was no one like Yang Jian." From the beginning of Yang Jian's auxiliary government to the usurpation of the Sui Dynasty, it was only ten months, and the speed of success has never been seen in ancient and modern times. ā
smiled again: "Young marshal, do you know why Yang Jian can become an immortal so quickly?" ā
Li Qin was glad that he had read Lu Miaozi's history books well, and said: "The opponent is incompetent, and the monarch of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has not yet established, so Yang Jian can take advantage of the situation to rise." At this time, Nan Chen was decayed, and the queen Chen only knew how to sing the backyard flowers in the air, and he didn't have the appearance of cheering up at all.
Yang Jian was in the north, especially the Han people, and from the north to the south, this became a civil war between the Han people. The Han people may be able to do their best to resist Hu, but if the battle between the Han people and the Han people is not enough, they can surrender, so why fight to the end. ā
Song nodded and said: "What Wu Gong said is very true, it seems that you have grasped the key point of the revival of the Han Dynasty." ā
After saying that, he showed a thoughtful expression, raised his hands, paced, passed by Li Qin's left side, and stood still five steps behind Li Qin, his eyes shot deep feelings, staring at the locust tree in the courtyard, and said calmly: "The reason why the Northern Wei Dynasty was able to unify the north was because the Xianbei Hu people were brave and good at fighting, and the Han people were not opponents at all. However, since the Hu people messed with my Middle Earth, the aspiring land of my Han Dynasty, under the threat of life and death, they all know that it is difficult to protect themselves without self-improvement, and they have turned to advocating martial arts, and washing away the decadence of respecting Confucianism and cultivating literature since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. By the end of the Northern Weekend, the generals in the army were mainly Han Chinese, and Yang Jian was the general who had held military power for generations, so it can be seen that the reason why Yang Jian was able to ascend the throne was the inevitable result of the revival of Han power. ā
Li Qin sighed: "The Han Dynasty emphasizes Confucianism, but Confucianism can cater to the idea that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has the right to the monarchy. Dong Zhongshu's set is enough to fool the people and integrate the inside.
The power of the former Han Dynasty was only integrated after the Han Dynasty, and the latter Wang Mang was chaotic, and Guangwu relied on the strong and powerful to obtain the world, although the Han Dynasty was rejuvenated, but it also set the tone for the rise of the later gate valve and the division of the world.
The Han people are very strong, but in the series of turmoil in the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty at the end of the Han Dynasty, we shed too much blood. The population has decreased dramatically, and this is the key to the chaos of China.
If we have a population of tens of billions, if our strength can be integrated into one, what other forces in the world can resist us? ā
"So, what moves do you have?" Song Que's voice became low: "Spread knowledge to all the people, gather the people in the factory...... Aren't you afraid of chaos? ā
"The people can, let it be. No, let it be known! This is my understanding of Master's words. The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. I believe in the power of the people, and I believe that making them more knowledgeable can make them stronger.
Confucius still has 3,000 disciples, how can I oppose the Master? Li Qin smiled faintly: "As long as I can make the people's lives better, as long as I can increase the combat effectiveness of the army, I will naturally feel that my country will become stronger, no matter what, I will try it." Change is not terrible! ā
Song Que said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, it is Li Yuanhua who has deviated from the scriptures." Not bad, not bad...... There are only two people in the world who can put me in my eyes: one is Li Yuan's second son Shimin, and the other is you Li Qin, your forces are all in the south, I see it more clearly than others, and the power you contain is more powerful than what you show. ā
Li Qin was still indifferent to this: "The valve owner has won the award!" ā
As he spoke, he raised his head, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the whetstone enshrined in the hall like a god, and searched for more than a dozen names engraved on the stone, and suddenly found that his name was carved on the highest part of the stone, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Song Que's voice softened, and he said softly: "Since the defeat of the Han Dynasty, there has been a confrontation between the north and the south in the world, and the reason for this is because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Wu Gong can know that the Li family in Guanzhong has reached an agreement with the Bashu Zhuxiong, if the Li family can capture Luoyang, the Bashu led by Xie Hui will surrender to the Li family, and then the south will be because the Li family has Bashu and there is no danger of the Yangtze River to defend, as long as there are enough boats and warships, the Li family's army will go west, who can resist at that time? ā
Li Qin gasped, he felt that the most troublesome thing had finally happened.
Cihang Jingzhai is more powerful than thousands of troops and horses, and he almost took down half of the country for Li Shimin without bloodshed, and it was useless to keep his concubine Xuan by his side in time.
Wang Shichong has some strength, and he understands very well that even if there is a strong city like Luoyang, it is far from Li Shimin's opponent, not to mention that he still needs to face Li Mi's attack at the moment.
With Wang Shichong's strength, even if he defeats the powerful Li Mi, he is afraid that his vitality will be greatly damaged, and by that time...... Li Shimin stabbed him in the back again, I was afraid that Li Tang would be able to take advantage of the situation to collect his territory, troops and men.
But that's at least a year or two away.
A year or two...... I should be able to pack some of my big killers as well.
Thinking of this, Li Qin's face returned to calm again.
Song Que saw this scene and was a little puzzled: "You don't seem to be scared at all?" ā
"If Li Tang wants to complete the agreement with Bashu, it will take at least a year or two of effort. What if I take Bashu before this? Li Qin looked at Song Que with burning eyes.
"You have that strength?" Song Que was very surprised by this.
"What I need is time, and in a year I will not be able to do what I can now. The owner should know what I'm best at? The current musket is only the first generation, and soon I will be equipped with the second generation, which is a terrifying existence that can far surpass the bow and arrow even if it has a rate of fire. Li Qin said lightly.
"If so, then there is hope for you." Song Que's eyes suddenly lit up.
"In that case, let's use the means of a martial artist to speak. If you can survive under my sword, then I will do my best to help you - although I am not willing to do so, I have to repay the kindness of Cihang Jingzhai in the past. The light flashed in his eyes, and Song Que's body was full of momentum, and he looked at Li Qin with the idea of wanting to compete with Li Qin.
"Good! Then let me learn the master's tricks. Li Qin said and nodded slightly.
He knew that the so-called Cihang Jingzhai was actually Song Quan's own excuse. As a valve owner and a strategist, Song Que also needs some excuses to convince others. After all, he also knew that there were actually two inconsistent, currents of thought in the Song family.
No one can act arbitrarily, even if it is Song Que, he sometimes has to take care of other things.
