Chapter 54: Building Momentum
"The land of Wuqi was originally my homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, and a good dog thief dared to bully the king?" The first to break the silence was a loud shout. After the Battle of Vaxia, the official of the plant was the envoy of the Yanyan Army, which was the first signboard in the military general group.
Unmoved, he replied: "Lanzhou, Mizhi, Futu and other places were all given by Emperor Zhenzong. ”
He had a violent temperament, but he was impatient to talk about the ancients with others, so he slapped the treasure knife on his waist and said sharply: "Now these lands are the bloody battle of the Holy Son of Heaven, and if you want to get it back, speak according to my sword!" ”
Although he is an envoy, he is also a man, and when he heard what he said, he immediately rolled his eyes and said: "Since the general has the heart to fight, the subordinate will definitely make it clear to my lord, and he will be ready for the battle." At that time, the land of your country will fall, and the people will be displaced, and the world will know that it is not my Xia country that is unrighteous first! ”
Seeing that the two of them were stiffening more and more, Emperor Zhezong, who was sitting in the hall, turned pale, Sima Guang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Today is the Zhengdan Dynasty, what the Xia Kingdom asks for is known, and we will discuss it later!" After that, he glanced at the waiter standing at the foot of the jade steps.
The inner servant understood in his heart, and immediately said in a long voice: "There is a decree in the saint, retreat from the court!" ”
Yan Yu is a smart person, as soon as he heard Sima Guang say "Let's talk about it later", he knew that Song Guo was cowardly, and he snorted proudly at the moment, and withdrew from the hall under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
As soon as the Empress Dowager, Emperor Zhezong, and the envoys of the four countries left, the main hall immediately exploded. In the center of the crowd, the kind of man grabbed Sima Guang with his hand, and asked sharply: "Sima Xianggong's sentence of 'let's discuss later' is what to discuss?" ”
"The major affairs of the family and the country, how can it be lightly decided, it is natural to discuss it. Since a general is a military general, this political matter is not something you can interfere in! Sima Guang glared at him angrily, and slammed his sleeve hard, trying to break free.
However, Sima Guang is a literati, how can he earn too long to grow in the army? I saw an iron arm tightly clamping Sima Guang's wrist, and said: "I don't know that the people of the land of the Great Song Dynasty can also weigh the two discussions for the ministers?" ”
Sima Guang paid attention to his appearance, and when he saw that he couldn't break free for a while, he stopped struggling, lowered his arm and endured his breath and said: "The battle of Ling and Xia started from me, and the new number of new ones is the ...... of the field."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly laughed out loud. After laughing for a while, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted and asked: "'The battle of Ling and Xia, originally started by me'?" Sima Junshi, do you dare to say this again to the heroic spirits who have been defeated in the past dynasties in my west? "I saw that his eyes were red like ghosts, and he squeezed out words from between his teeth." Dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will slap you with a big mouth? ”
"Seed Zheng, you are presumptuous!" The ruler of a country was threatened by a martial artist. Sima Guang was angry and hateful, and couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing that the two old men, who were more than one hundred and twenty years old together, were preparing to stage a full martial arts, the seed master Dao hurriedly stepped forward, held the arm of the seed and said repeatedly: "Uncle is angry, uncle is angry!" Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he gently pinched the palm of the seed and persuaded him meaningfully. Sima Xianggong didn't know the military, and he didn't know the important points of the land of Wuqi, and it was common for him to say cession lightly. Fortunately, the prime minister knew that he was inadequate, and he spoke widely at the beginning of his tenure. Such a military event, it is natural to convene a great court meeting, and the civil ministers and military generals express their opinions and fill in the gaps for Sima Xianggong! ”
Although the words of the seed master are polite, the deep meaning is sharp, and Liu Zhi in the imperial history heard it harshly, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "The seed master said, you are only a six-grade promoter, how dare you criticize the minister?" Do you know the gift of humility? ”
When the seed master heard this, he only said innocently: "A certain self-binding study was taught by his father, and he should take Sima Xianggong as a model, be honest and trustworthy and not lie." Sima Xianggong was originally a civil minister, and he didn't know that military affairs were also common, how could this be criticized? Could it be ......" Seed Master Dao turned his gaze to Sima Guang again, and asked happily. "Sima Xianggong didn't know when he learned military affairs?"
Seed Master Dao had this question, Sima Guang immediately felt bitter in his stomach, he didn't want to lie against his heart and didn't want to lose his momentum, he was very embarrassed for a while, and only secretly slandered Liu Zhi for talking a lot.
In the end, it was a kind of man who saved him. Reminded by the seed master, he finally woke up and said loudly: "Not bad! This is a major military affair related to the country's society, and it is not a matter of gains and losses in one city or one place, it is necessary to hold a great court meeting to make a decision, so as to prevent someone from controlling the government and betraying the country for glory! Sima Xianggong, do you think this is the truth? ”
Uncle and nephew said these words with guns and sticks, and for a while they taught Sima Guang not to know how to deal with it. I saw that his face was blue and white for a while, and after a while, Fang said: "What Xixia is asking for is very important, and a certain original plan was to hold a great court meeting with the Ming official family, but the general was too anxious. After saying this, Sima Guang faintly felt that something was wrong. The matter of the Great Dynasty Meeting was originally between what could be and what was indispensable, but now that it was mentioned by Uncle and Nephew, no matter how much he said, he couldn't help but feel that the momentum was insufficient.
And everyone in this hall obviously felt this shortcoming, most of the ministers were a little discouraged, and the generals danced with their eyebrows. I saw that Chong Mo generously hugged his fist and saluted Sima Guang, and replied: "A certain person has always been anxious, and I also invite Xiang Gong Haihan." The matter of the Great Dynasty Meeting, please take care of the Prime Minister, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and even the people of the world rely on the Prime Minister to administer justice for them! With that, he raised his sleeves and walked away with a group of generals.
A group of military generals walked out of the hall gate, and the cultivator immediately sank his face, and whispered to the cultivator who was following him: "Unexpectedly, it was really expected by Murong Fu's kid!" Sima Junshi, a pus-filled bastard, wants to betray the country! You go to see him tonight, and since he expects it, he will find a way for the old man to solve it! Go quietly, don't startle the snake! ”
"Got it, uncle." The planter hurriedly responded. Murong Fu sent the news last night, and the seed master Dao You couldn't believe it. It's not that I can't believe that Xixia would make such an rude request, but I can't believe that Sima Guang, as the ruler of a country, can be so confused. Fortunately, although he and his uncle were skeptical, they were still familiar with a few key lines under the guidance of Murong Fu. "Family and country affairs" and "military affairs" are originally one word difference. However, it is precisely this difference in words that determines whether the military generals can claim to stay on the territory that the soldiers fought bloodily for. Although Master Dao didn't know why Murong Fu repeatedly emphasized that he must force Sima Guang to convene a great court meeting, he believed that since Murong Fu said so, he must have already planned what to do next.
The seed master Dao was thinking nonsense, and he heard a kind of sigh in his ears: "Murong that kid is too low in official position, even if it is a big court, it is not his turn to say a few words!" Zhengbapin...... Hiss! He took a deep breath of cold air and shook his head slightly with disdain.
As soon as the words came out, the seed master was also speechless, and only after a while did he say: "If you don't reject Princess Shushou's ......" halfway through the words, he looked around vigilantly, shrunk his head and didn't say anything, only sighed secretly in his heart: If you have such a good thing as the horse master, why do you have to find the flower of the dynasty? The first emperor acted inappropriately after all!
However, the uncle and nephew of the Chong clan didn't know that the reason why Murong Fu wanted them to verbally squeeze Sima Guang to force him to convene a great court meeting was not to let himself meet the prime minister in the great court. The Song Dynasty was a society with clear classes, and if he wanted to fight the prime minister of the first product with the sesame official of the eighth grade above the court, I was afraid that before he could attack the prime minister, he would be crushed into sesame paste by the group of thugs under the prime minister who went from the sixth grade to the first grade. And for a long time, compared to being a lonely hero, Murong Fu has always been better at the word "momentum". Plan the offensive of public opinion, coordinate the forces of the alliance, occupy the moral high ground, and wait for the general trend to be the stormy waves crashing on the shore. At that time, anyone who tries to stop it will be shattered!
took the lead in proposing to convene a court meeting and forced Sima Guang to agree. In addition to delaying the time to facilitate the momentum, it is also to beware of Sima Guang's first move to show his selflessness. Now that Murong Fu has temporarily taken the lead, this second move has been arranged after today's Zhengdan Dynasty meeting and is waiting for Sima Guang to receive it!
Just after the unitary hour, it is the beginning of the most prosperous business of the restaurant. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Feng took Jiang Changyun quietly to Jinlin Building, the most popular restaurant in Bianjing City. After two years, the popularity of Huaiyang cuisine in Bianjing has finally faded, and although there are still customers in Jinlin Building, at least there is no need for guests to book seats in advance.
When Jiang Changyun and Qiao Feng went upstairs, they heard the guests of the two-eared restaurant mention the matter of the Xixia Guoshu asking for the return of the land of Wuqi, and couldn't help but scold: "What else is there to talk about? Let the Tanguts get out of here! He took the menu sent by Xiao Er and flipped through it, and immediately changed color. I saw him close the menu casually, approached Qiao Feng's side and said in a low voice: "Gang Master Qiao, the price here is not cheap!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Qiao Feng smiled nonchalantly, took out a small two-inch square gold medal and buckled it on the table, and commanded. "Make a jar of 'burnt knives' and cut half a catty of beef with sauce."
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the gold medal, he immediately bent his waist lower. "It turned out to be a high-ranking guest of the Lou. The villain is clumsy, and the faux pas please Haihan. I wonder if the guest officer has any other needs besides 'burning knives' and sauced beef? ”
"High-ranking guests?" Jiang Changyun took out the small gold medal from Qiao Feng's fingers, threw it twice, and asked. "I don't know what you are particular about the so-called high-ranking guests of Jinlin Building?"
The shopkeeper smiled conceitedly and said generously: "Since he is a high-level guest of the contempt building, the owner of the contempt building will pay for all the consumption." ”
Jiang Changyun's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he immediately said: "Since you are a big eater, what kind of sauce beef do you order?" Brother Qiao, you really don't know how to enjoy! He hurriedly flipped through the menu and said in one go. Bring me two pots of 'Dongpo wine', crab roe lion head, Wensi tofu, crystal meat, three sets of duck, grilled whole pig's head, and ......"
"Enough!" Qiao Feng glared at Jiang Changyun, snatched the menu and handed it back to Xiao Er. He believed that if he didn't stop it, Jiang Changyun would definitely report the entire menu.
The shopkeeper took the menu and went out sweating profusely, forgetting to even pour tea for Qiao Feng and Jiang Changyun.
Fortunately, Jiang Changyun was very diligent, and after filling Qiao Feng with a cup of Biluochun, he smiled and said: "Gang Master Qiao, this Murong Gongzi is not easy to be a friend, and he is really righteous enough!" I just don't know if he has any extra ......."
Without waiting for Jiang Changyun to finish speaking, Qiao Feng immediately glanced at him coldly, and said slowly: "If Murong meets all the distinguished guests like you, I am afraid that even if the rich are rival countries, it will not be enough to compensate." ”
Jiang Changyun was dumbfounded by Qiao Feng's words, and said after a while: "I don't know the purpose of Qiao Gang Leader coming here ......"
"Watching a play." Qiao Feng glanced at him with satisfaction and said in a low voice. "After reading it, send some news out." Although Jiang Changyun said that he acted informally, his meticulous ability was the first among the beggars, so it was no wonder that Qiao Feng always looked down on him.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Qiao Feng's long-awaited Western Xia warrior finally came on the field. There were five of them in this group of Western Xia warriors, and as soon as they entered the restaurant, they drove away a table of guests in the center of the lobby. The other guests sitting in the hall saw that the situation was not good, and quietly walked a third of the way.
Jiang Changyun, who was sitting on the second floor, saw this group of people, immediately threw down his chopsticks, and said with a puzzled face: "Li Yanzong? How could he be here? "It turned out that one of these Western Xia warriors was Li Yanzong, who he and Qiao Feng were very familiar with. But as far as Jiang Changyun knew, this Li Yanzong should have died at the border a few years ago.
Qiao Feng grabbed Jiang Changyun, who was about to go downstairs to ask what was going on, and said in a low voice: "Watch the show!" As he spoke, his brows furrowed faintly. He still remembered that when he met with Gongyeqian, Gongyeqian did not mention that Li Yanzong had also come to Bianjing.
The owner of the restaurant saw that this group of Fanbang warriors were holding swords and swords with fierce faces, and hurriedly came forward to greet them in person. Fortunately, the wine and food of this Jinlin Building are well-known, and as soon as these warriors bring good wine and food to the table like flowing water, they can no longer care about showing off their martial arts, and they are busy shouting at the dinner table one by one. When they ate it, they simply threw away their chopsticks and tore them directly, and their actions were as rude as savages. Under the orders of the boss, the shopkeeper served three times of food and drinks in a row, and finally satisfied them. The boss thought that it would be time to send off the guests, but they were full of wine and food, and drew their swords and struck the table and sang. The song was hoarse and hoarse, and the rest of the guests in the hall were so disturbed that they walked a third of the way.
The boss saw that the guests had stopped and stopped, and he couldn't hold back any longer, so he ordered the shopkeeper to send two jars of Dongpo wine, and stepped forward with a smile: "A few guest officers, I'm really sorry!" Most of the guests in our restaurant are so quiet and love to listen to a commentary. Several heroes sang loudly, it was really ...... Please also ask all the adults to make it convenient, and send two jars of Dongpo wine with exclusive secret recipes, please forgive me! ”
The boss changed multiple titles in a row, each more respectful than the other, which was extremely polite. When the few half-drunk Western Xia warriors present heard this, they couldn't help but look at Li Yanzong, who was sitting on the main seat, at the same time. I saw Li Yanzong staggering to the boss with half a jar of residual wine, and asked in the unskilled Central Plains official dialect as if he was not drunk: "What kind of commentary is your restaurant talking about?" ”
"Today's talk is about the great victory of Zhu Xianzhen in "Saying the Complete Biography of Yue", and the prince of Yue broke the golden dragon tail formation." The boss replied.
"Oh? So, is it Yue Fei's victory? Li Yanzong asked again.
As soon as the boss saw that this Xixia warrior knew a little bit about the doorway, his expression was relieved at the moment, and he said proudly: "Yue Wang Ye is a hero, it is Yue Wang Ye who has won!" "In "The Complete Biography of Yue", Da Chen had two evil neighbors, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty, and in reality, the Great Song Dynasty also had two evil neighbors, the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia; In "The Complete Biography of Yue", Prince Yue finally defeated his evil neighbors and recovered the rivers and mountains, and in reality, every citizen of the Great Song Dynasty hopes that a character like Prince Yue will be able to eliminate the border troubles!
"Nonsense!" Who knew that Li Yanzong suddenly took the case and said loudly. "In my opinion, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty is a hero, what kind of thing is Yue Fei? It should be the Golden Vulture that wins! ”
These Western Xia warriors have been making trouble for a long time, and the attention of all the guests in the restaurant has been on them. Hearing Li Yanzong's words, there was an uproar in the restaurant, and even a few grumpy guests couldn't help but shout and scold. Some said: "Prince Yue has won all battles, and the golden vulture is to serve a urine basin to Prince Yue, and he is rude!" Some said: "Even if you meet Xia people, it is also Yue Wang Ye Sheng!" After a few shouts, the whole building applauded.
Even the owner of the restaurant, who has always been sleek, also had a cold face at this time, and raised his voice: "A few guest officers are drunk, come here, send off guests!" ”
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Li Yanzong jumped up and slapped the boss in the face. This slap was really majestic and earth-shattering, not only was the boss fanned to the ground, and the corners of his mouth were broken and blood flowed, but also made the entire restaurant silent. The restaurant owner covered his face and spit out half of his bloody teeth, and said in shock and anger: "Why do you have to beat someone?" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, is there still a royal law? ”
"Wang Fa? What royal law? The words of our Xia Emperor are the king's law! Li Yanzong held the knife in one hand and said triumphantly. My family wants you to return Lanzhou, Mizhi and other five lands, that is, your little emperor and Sima Xianggong have to be obedient and give the land with both hands. Isn't it the same as beating a dog? ”
Today, there is a dispute between Chong Ge and Sima Guang in the Great Dynasty, and there are faint rumors in the streets and alleys, and most of the people do not agree to return the land of Western Xia. As soon as Li Yanzong's words came out, he was even more angry, and the restaurant owner gritted his teeth and hissed: "Good fight!" Well played! Today, you are not hitting the face of someone in my Tang Dynasty, but the face of the people of our Great Song Dynasty! If the surname Tang doesn't get this one back, I will be the blood of the Han family in vain! ”
"Well said!" The owner of the restaurant said that, and immediately the house applauded.
This wave-like cheering also seemed to wake up Li Yanzong's drunkenness, and then threw down a sentence: "This official is waiting for you!" Then he hurriedly left with a group of Western Xia warriors.
The boss knew that the guys in the restaurant were no match for these Western Xia warriors, and he didn't stop them. After these warriors left, he walked onto the high platform where he usually performed a hundred operas and commentaries, and arched his hands to the surroundings and said loudly: "The surnamed Tang opened the door to do business, and he was expected to suffer some grievances. If it's wrong in the building, don't say that one slap is ten slaps, and I can take it! But today's events, everyone is watching. These Western Xia warriors deceived people too much, and it was not me who insulted them, but my Great Song Dynasty! If the Western Xia warriors really said that the imperial court wanted to cut the land, would we still be able to raise our heads and be human beings in the future? Therefore, from today onwards, tickets for Jinlinlou tea and Jinle Fang are all free, and only "The Complete Biography of Yue" will be arranged for three performances a day. I also invite all the guest officials to cheer more, and I will let the court know the blood nature of my people! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Boss Tang said, and the cheers in the restaurant almost topped the roof.
Even Jiang Changyun, who was watching coldly, couldn't help but be enthusiastic at this time, and praised loudly: "This Boss Tang is really righteous!" ”
"You can arrange for the brothers to spread the word about today's events, and the world will shake up! Let the people of the world know that if the court cuts the land of Wuqi, in the future, when we meet a foreign race, we will stuff our heads into the crotch of our pants and be people! Qiao Feng ordered.
"Yes!" Jiang Changyun answered, and when he saw Qiao Feng getting up to leave, he asked again. "Gang Master Joe, where are you going?"
"Go and be sure of one thing." Before the words fell, Qiao Feng's figure had already flipped out of the window, chasing after those Western Xia warriors. Li Yanzong's words and deeds made a lingering doubt appear in Qiao Feng's heart. If you look into it in detail, you will shudder.
