Chapter 22 Farewell in the Barracks
Cheng Yanjin continued: "As the saying goes, every few thousand glasses of wine is less, and the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and none of the people here today are outsiders, so everyone does not have to be restrained in speaking." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I remember when my brothers were in Wagangzhai, they drank in a bowl and slept on a couch.
"Later, the situation in the world changed, and I said, if the brothers believe me, we will join Li Mi together, and it will be a great thing in the future, if you don't want to go, you can leave immediately. Shubao was also present at the time. I'm not wrong. ”
"Yes," everyone nodded.
Cheng Yanjin continued: "You people followed me without saying a word. Later, it was found that Li Mi was indeed very politically ambitious, but his selfishness was too heavy. And not benevolent. If Zhai Rang hadn't pushed him at the beginning, do you think he would have been able to sit on the throne and monopolize the power later? But later, this girl actually found an opportunity to design and kill Zhai Rang. It's really not exquisite! ”
"If it weren't for the battle in Beibi Mountain, because of his unfavorable command, we lost to Wang Shichong, I guess we would have been used by him all along." Cheng Yanjin said this, his eyes looking at a place in the distance, as if memories brought him back to the war-torn years.
"Yes, after we lost the battle that time, this guy took refuge in the Tang Army, so that we have no way out, you say, let's go to Wang Shichong, we will follow you to take refuge in Wang Shichong." Wu Miao answered.
Wu Miao was right. At first, I thought that Wang Shichong would not be as selfish as Li Mi, and would kill his companions. But later I found out that this person is narrow-minded, cunning, easy to talk big, good at cursing people, where is this the bearing that a monarch should have, I feel like a wizard. Do you think such a person can command the world? Can it be a big thing? Can you be a support for our brothers? ”
"Brother, you're right, such a person is not worth our lives for him at all, and he is not a lifesaver for the people in the world, it is estimated that one day even if he becomes a top position, he will be a brutal person." Ning Shu interjected on the side.
Cheng Yanjin nodded after hearing his words, and continued: "In this case, I took all my brothers to leave Wang Shichong decisively, and now it seems how wise my approach was at that time. ”
"When I first defected to Li Yuan's father and son, some people said, let me pick up the flag to order the world, I think I am a rough person, I don't know how to govern the country, but I understand a truth, whoever can make the people live a good life, who can make the world peaceful, I will support whoever I support, who I support."
There was a round of appreciative applause as he spoke everyone's mind.
Cheng Yanjin continued: "As ordinary people, no one likes to live a life of fighting and killing all day long. The requirements of the common people are very simple, as long as they live a peaceful life with clothes and food. They don't have too much luxury. ”
"And those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, those faint kings, will also deprive the people of this need. The heavy forced labor and exorbitant taxes forced the common people to have no way to live, and it was a last resort to rise up and rebel, but they said that these people were unscrupulous. If the monarchs do a good job and the officials do a good job, why will the world be in chaos. ”
Now that the Tang Dynasty has ruled the world, he has ordered the reduction and exemption of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the exemption of forced labor, and the resumption of production, so that the people can recuperate, and the country has not seen a prosperous scene for decades. Even those foreign clans are afraid of my Datang strength and dare not harass me easily. The country has such a wise king, the society is very fortunate, and the people are very fortunate......"
After a heartfelt remark, everyone present nodded yes, and they were sincerely glad for their original choice. Cheng Yanjin drank the second glass of wine after speaking, and the game continued.
Qing Xuan held the bamboo skewer and looked embarrassed. Everyone has been punished, Zhang Liang has also been fined twice, only he has not been punished once, this time, obviously he is in a catastrophe, the bamboo stick with the word "lose" written on it is held in his hand, like a hot potato, thrown and thrown away, holding and hot, making him in a dilemma, not biting gold in the process can be happy.
"Haha, I don't believe that you kid can't take his turn once, but now I've been caught, I just want to see what show you can put on to open our eyes." Obviously, Cheng Yanjin has high expectations for Qingxuan, and this time Qingxuan can't run away if he wants to.
"I'll just drink the bar, and the show will be free." He smiled at the people present, he was not afraid of drinking, thinking that when he was in college, he drank a table of brothers by himself. But when it comes out of the show, this is difficult, and he is most afraid of performing in front of others. It's okay in front of familiar people, but there can't be too many people, and if there are too many, you will be nervous, and you can sing and run to a tune.
"That's not possible, you can perform whatever you want, if you don't act, you can't do it." Wu Miao said, and winked at him.
"What are you showing?" Qing Xuan's nervousness made his brain go blank. In the end, he only remembered the "Song of a Good Man" that Liu Huan sang in "Water Margin", his voice was not very generous, and he was not very suitable for singing Liu Huan's songs, but now he could only reluctantly sing those two sentences, or obviously everyone didn't want to let him go.
"Then I'll sing a few words for your brothers." He thought to himself, none of them had heard this song anyway, and they didn't know if it was out of tune, hehe, it was decided.
So he pulled out of his stance and roared:
The great river flows eastward
The stars in the sky are in the Big Dipper
Let's go
You have it, I have it all
When the road was uneven, he roared
Shoot when it's time to shoot
Wow, in Kyushu
……
While listening, everyone tapped the dishes with chopsticks, and the listening was quite fascinating.
After singing a paragraph, Qing Xuan said: "I didn't sing well, I made a fool of myself in front of everyone." With that, he drank the glass of punishment and sat back in his place.
"'When the road is uneven, you roar, and when you should shoot, you will shoot,' I like this sentence." Cheng Yanjin clapped his hands. "Also, brother, you sing very well, we have never heard such a song, where did you learn it?"
"Hehe," Qing Xuan smirked, he couldn't tell the truth, saying that he was from the twenty-first century.
"Could it be that the brother is from an alien planet?" Cheng Yanjin asked Qing Xuan with a smile.
"Big brother is really joking."
After playing the game, everyone talked again, seeing that it was not early, and the two of them were going to leave tomorrow, so they drank a glass of wine and went back to their rooms to rest.
As soon as dawn came, there was the sound of chickens croaking. Qing Xuan got up and felt a little pain in his head, probably because he had drunk too much wine last night. After washing, I feel a little better. Seeing that Zhang Liang also got up and packed his luggage. Cheng Yanjin had already asked someone to prepare breakfast, and prepared a black horse for Qing Xuan. After breakfast, Ning Shu, the military advisor who drank together yesterday, sent the two of them to the ten-mile long pavilion outside Longmen Town, together with Wu Miao and Cheng Yanjin, who had joined the army, and said goodbye with wine.
When the two of them rode out of more than fifty steps away, they turned around and waved to Cheng Yanjin and them, looking at several generals in armor in the morning light standing on this empty field, Qing Xuan had a tragic sense of "the strong man will not return once he is gone". But this is to go back to Chang'an, and not to send him to death, his life has not yet begun, how can he feel hanging? Qing Xuan couldn't help but spit a few times on the ground, thinking to himself, what a bad idea, it's not counted......
There will be a change in a while.
