Tiger Roar (1)

It's late at night, and the sky hasn't cooled down yet. The hot wind is damp, so that the sweat is all attached to the person's body, and it can't be wiped clean.

"The unlucky weather doesn't let people live!" The director of the Xiangfu sent off the last group of guests, cursed a few words in a low voice, greeted a few small servants, took a broom, and began to clean the open space in front of the door. Since the old man Dong Wenzhi in the family was sick, everyone has not been idle for a day. Those who visited the sick and delivered medicines, paved the way for relations in the name of visiting patients, and from morning to night every day, they trampled the ground in front of Dong Wenshan's mansion by half an inch. Often this gang doesn't leave, and the next gang comes again. is so busy that the Dong Mansion is overwhelmed, and even Dong Li, the porter, is almost tired and out of his arms. However, the Dong family is not as good as the A family, and the concierge is not allowed to slow down and accept red envelopes from guests. caused Dong Li and the others to see a lot of treasure money every day and didn't dare to take it, and the fire in their stomachs was as stuffy as the weather outside.

Faintly, there was another sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the street, and two officials in civilian clothes rushed over with a dozen guards. Far away, the first official with a short beard under his chin, who looked more easy-going, greeted him, "Hey, this housekeeper, is your master resting?" ”

Feed? What to feed, donkeys or horses? The fire in Dong Li's heart suddenly rushed to the top door. Youdao is the fourth official of the concierge of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although he Dong Li does not have an official uniform on his body, the backer behind him is the prime minister of the left dynasty. From the first-grade prime minister to the fifth-grade general, what kind of official Dong Li has never seen. Usually no matter which adult comes here, he will arch his hand and call him an old man or a brother. Two people who looked very unfamiliar and didn't even wear official uniforms dared to call him with the word "hey", which was really lacking in education. Stopping the broom, Dong Li didn't bother to raise his head, and replied cleanly: "Hey, don't look at how late it is, I'm embarrassed to ask." My lord is sick, don't you know? Disturbing the patient so late, do you have the intention or do you mean it! ”

"Hmm!" The short-bearded guest was so choked by Dong Li that he couldn't speak, and his whole face turned black and red. Under the bright lantern illumination in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it looks like an eggplant that has been ripened in autumn. Raising the horsewhip, he was about to attack, but his arm was pressed down by the short, stout official next to him, "You are a top member of the imperial court, why should you be like a slave of others." You punished him, and the eldest brother didn't look good on his face! ”

After speaking, the five short bodies circled and jumped off the horse neatly. took out a small ingot from the pocket of his underwear and gently threw it in front of Dong Li, "Take it, count your errand money." Trouble to say to the young master of your family, that Lord Hututmur, and your master's good brother are here to visit the sick! ”

"Poof!" The ingots fell on the bluestone slab with a muffled sound. Dong Li's eyes jumped out of his sockets with the ingots. From the sound to the color, it shows that people are giving a piece of gold. Over the years, the treasure money has become more and more woolly, and the gold net worth has more than doubled.

Bending down, Dong Li carefully picked up the gold ingot, wiped it, and handed it back to the guest. While handing it, he replied extremely unwillingly: "Two adults, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, just now, don't go to your heart, the little one is tired and confused, and his mouth is full of tongues." The small one is going to give you a gift, this gold, you still take it, my master has strict rules, and he is not allowed to accept red envelopes! ”

"Take it and go. Your master is to blame, and tell the truth, his good brother gave it to you! The five short figures waved their hands, and in their words, they revealed a majesty that could not be refused.

Dong Li was stunned for a moment and slowly raised his head. He was accustomed to seeing the faces of officials, but he was actually robbed of this person's bearing, and unconsciously took half a step back. He opened his clenched fists, hid the gold in his pocket, and let the guests into the porter while greeting: "The little one will borrow your blessing, two adults, and a few bad masters, sit in the hall for a while, and the little one will come when he goes!" ”

With that, he handed the broom to the little servant Shuangxi, and ran to the depths of the yard.

The little servant who followed him was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly beckoned the guests to dust inside for Dong Li. Why Dong Li's attitude is congratulatory and deferential, Shuangxi doesn't quite understand. But what the bounty ingot guest said just now, he heard it very clearly. Hututmur is the current dynasty Pingzhang, only a little smaller than his master's official position. And the guests around Hututmur who are short in stature, bold in hand, and slightly lame in walking, look bigger than Hututmur. Then, this person's identity is either a member of the Mongolian dynasty or a prince of the outer seal. This kind of person can't be lazy, otherwise the master will blame him, and he can't afford to lose his three lives.

Just as the servants were hurriedly greeting the guests, there was a noisy trotting sound in the courtyard. The front and back yards, the attic wings, all the doorways are lit up, illuminating the yard as bright as day. Dong Wenshan's eldest son, the young master Dong Dexin, wearing a six-grade official mansion, stumbled out with a family, regardless of the dirt of the brick floor, knelt on both sides of the trail, and said loudly while kowtowing: "The ministers don't know that Your Majesty is coming, and they have not been greeted from afar, capital crime, capital crime!" ”

"Your Majesty?" The feather duster in the hands of Double Happiness "Smack!" The ground fell to the ground with a thud. Immediately afterward, his whole body went soft. I guessed that the person was a big official, but I didn't expect it to be the head of the Tartars, the legendary Kublai Khan who eats people and does not spit out bones. Knowing that it was him ......., Shuangxi's face was covered with cold sweat and he didn't dare to think about it again.

"I didn't tell you, what kind of crime are you?" Kublai Khan smiled and stepped forward with both hands. "Let everyone get up, today we will talk about family life, not the courtesy of monarchs and ministers. How is your father, is he feeling better? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dong Dexin bowed down again, and after shouting long live three times, he climbed up with the family. Hanging his hands, he replied respectfully: "The courtier's father took medicine and just fell asleep. Wechen has already sent someone to help, and he will come out to meet him in a while! ”

"Nonsense, where is the reason for the patient to come to greet me. Lead the way, I'll go see your father and block him in the house!" Kublai Khan flicked his sleeves and reprimanded him with some unpleasantness. Dong Wenshan is rich and upright, and he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of himself. But when it came to his son's generation, it was a gray rabbit crawling out of the wolf's den, which was not as much as the previous generation.

"Yes, the ministers thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!" Dong Dexin's face was covered with sweat and replied in a low voice. Turning around, he ordered the people to carry lanterns to light the way, and personally led Kublai Khan and Khuttumur to the main house.

After walking a few steps, I saw Dong Wenshan lying on the shoulders of the two subordinates, and he forced himself over. The sound of heavy breathing could be heard from afar.

"Nonsense!" Kublai Khan glanced at Dong Dexin, pushed away the little guy who led the way, and quickened his pace to meet him. Grabbed one of the arms of Dong Wenshan, who was about to worship, and while carrying it to his shoulder, he said angrily: "Why is the eldest brother so polite, I knew that I would toss you, so I won't run this trip!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Dong Wenshan didn't know what words to use to express the gratitude in his heart, his pale lips trembled for a long time, and then he muttered: "Your Majesty's kindness to your ministers...!"

"Well, what a grace, don't I look at my old friends, and they have a lot of exquisiteness. You are my eldest brother, I am your younger brother, and the second brother is far away and has not returned, so the younger brother should naturally come to visit you a few more times! Kublai Khan shook his head and interrupted Dong Wenshan's words. He and Dong Wenzhi have known each other since childhood and have always regarded them as siblings. Before becoming the emperor, he called Dong Wenshan as the eldest brother, and Dong Wenchuan as the second brother. became an emperor, and he has never changed less. Now that Dong Wenhuan is sitting on one side, Kublai Khan has a second brother who has not returned.

Seeing Kublai Khan say this, Dong Wenshan was no longer pretentious. Let Kublai Khan support him, walked back to the main hall, and walked to the bedroom where he was recuperating.

Dong Wenshan's wife left early, and a few concubines heard that His Majesty the Emperor was coming in person, so they avoided it early. Kublai Khan put him on his hand and put him on the bed, forced him to lie down, covered him with a thin blanket, and tucked the corners of the blanket. Then, twitching his nose, he smelled the fragrance of medicine all over the room, and asked with concern: "Have you used the medicine, have you seen it by the imperial doctor?" Chinese medicine, Mongolian medicine or Wusi Tibetan medicine. Have the lamas of Wutai Mountain come to recite the scriptures and cleaned the house? ”

"Imperial Doctor Zheng saw it, and said that he was deficient in qi and blood, and he prescribed a lot of tonics, and he couldn't eat all over his body, and he was very depressed." Dong Wenshan smiled bitterly and lifted the spy away. "The Mongolian doctor has also seen it, and he said something about the same. Tibetan doctors and lamas, the ministers didn't believe their pretending to be gods and ghosts, so they didn't send anyone to invite them! ”

"Alas, big brother, this is your dullness. Those Tibetan doctors, lamas, the methods of curing diseases are easy to use, you don't care what kind of god they pretend to be, and which sutra they recite. Tomorrow, I will issue an order to send someone to send you several well-known lamas on Wutai Mountain! Kublai Khan smiled and blamed, as if persuading his wayward brother, "It's that Doctor Zheng, don't take more of his tonics, you and I are the same, I grew up in the wilderness, he should be those scholars in Jiangnan, and he needs to use ginseng to hang himself at every turn." Our Mongolians and Han people have different stomachs and intestines, instead of eating ginseng and shou wu, it is better to eat a few roast lamb backs to make up for it. When the autumn came, I issued an order to drive a thousand fat sheep from the Weng Niu Special Department to come over to replenish your body on the side of Quanning Road. There is also a rowing fish in the Darahai, eating that thing is much more effective than drinking bitter medicine soup! (Drinker's note: Paddlefish, a freshwater fish in eastern Inner Mongolia, is only found in lakes in eastern Inner Mongolia, and is a marine fish in other areas, and is now endangered.) ）

"Your Majesty, minister, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to eat, when I slept at night, I already faintly heard the call of Changshengtian!" Dong Wenshan smiled, and the leisurely days of wandering around and shooting with Kublai Khan when he was a teenager appeared in front of him.

"Big brother Hugh said these frustrating words, you are in the prime of life, how can you be summoned by the Immortal Heaven so easily!" Kublai Khan said, grabbing Dong Wenshan's hand.

"The minister's body bones, the minister himself knows. If you meet Your Majesty, you will have no regrets in death. It's a pity that I didn't see His Majesty dominate the four seas and collect the world's weapons to recast Jiuding! Dong Wenshan shook his head, and his wheezing gradually became worse. The flushed face looked a little unwilling, and there was a little pleasure in decomposition.

"There are Jiubadu and Boyan outside, and you inside, sweeping **, it's just a matter of fingers. Big brother, don't say anything discouraged, I'm still waiting for you to make a plan for me, cross the sea to the east, and be ashamed of the failure of the expedition before the snow! Kublai Khan patted Dong Wenshan's shoulder and said half-truthfully. He was late tonight to deal with government affairs with Huthuttimur and other ministers. Later, he talked to Hututmur about how neatly Dong Wenzhi handled things before he was sick, so the two had a whim and came to visit the patient together. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a few days, his arm was already terminally ill.

Thinking that there are still many things that he can't make up his mind, Kublai Khan hopes that the Taoist lamas in the world really have the ability to give Dong Wenzhi a three-year life span from the hands of Changshengtian. Three years, it doesn't take much, there are three years, he and Dong Wenzhi will suppress all the unstable factors in the world, and reproduce the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty in the legend of the Han people. It can be inferred from ancient books that Kublai Khan believed that King Wu of Zhou was not a tribe of the Central Plains, but he could be the co-ruler of the world, and Kublai Khan believed that he could do it too.

Dong Wenshan knew that Kublai Khan was comforting himself, and he did know that his time was short, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "By Your Majesty's auspicious words, after the minister recovers, he will do his best." Does Your Majesty want to rebuild the Marine? That's a rush! ”

"Alas!" Kublai Khan sighed involuntarily. In the last expedition to Japan, Dong Wenzhi persuaded himself in this way, and after taking all the world, he would use the first-class sea ships built in Quanzhou and Guangzhou to carry elite soldiers, instead of using the warships built by the former Jin Dynasty docks in the area of Goryeo and Hainingzhou. The two types of ships look similar on the surface, but in fact they are not the same in terms of seaworthiness and robustness. I didn't listen, thinking that Dong Wenshan was too cautious, and wanted to concentrate on eliminating the remnants of the Song Dynasty, step by step. As a result, the Eastern Expedition failed due to the storm, and the southward advance was delayed, resulting in the fact that the Navy Division now has no strength to compete with the Broken Army.

Dong Wenshan heard Kublai Khan sigh and knew that he was worried about the affairs of Jiangnan. Turning around, he supported half of his body hard, looked into Kublai Khan's eyes and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will wait for the enemy, there is no sea and no defense in the two provinces, and there are cities without walls, so Wen Tianxiang got the opportunity." But the captive army is unable to occupy the two Zhejiang provinces for a long time, and it is also unable to go deeper, so it will not cause a big disaster! ”

After a few words, Hututmur, who was silent on the side, nodded again and again, with a look of admiration on his face. He discussed with the ministers for most of the day before he came to a conclusion, and Dong Wenshan, a patient with no information in his hand, actually pointed it out sharply. Among them, the ability is high, and even fools can see it.

It's still Dong Da, in a word. Kublai Khan nodded and explained in a low voice: "Temur they also said the same, but I was still a little apprehensive. The two Zhejiang are important places for finance and taxation, and the eldest brother also knows that if I don't have enough money to appease the northern tribes, if there is a drought on the grasslands this summer, or a snow disaster in the winter. Those who are not convinced by me will definitely have trouble again! ”

"Your Majesty thinks that within three years, you can still count on the income of Liangzhejiang?" Dong Wenshan said with a smile, "The minister heard that the army was divided into the treasury and hidden the wealth and the people. If Your Majesty is forcibly collecting, I am afraid that people's hearts will be bought by Wen Tianxiang. It's better to be a favor, and the next will will be to exempt the money and food within three years of the two Zhejiang. Whoever planted the ownerless land belonged to whom, and even if the imperial court took back the two Zhejiang, it would no longer pursue the original owner. ”

"This?" Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the key for a while. Dong Wenzhi repeatedly persuaded him to exempt the money and grain from all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, which had been war-torn for a long time, to implement benevolent governance, and to compete with the captive army for the hearts and minds of the people. He never made up his mind to accept the advice. One reason is that the treasury is tight, and the other reason is that the Mongols have always valued heroes over ordinary people. shared power with Dong Wenshan, Zhang Hongfan and others, although everyone complained, they could barely accept it. If the princes and nobles rashly gave benefits to the southerners who originally planned to kill them, not only Ahmad and others would oppose it, but some princes and nobles who did not participate in the government would also jump out to stop it.

Dong Wenshan knew that Kublai Khan would have such a reaction, gasped for a while, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the land of Liangzhejiang has been easy to attack but not easy to defend since ancient times. As long as I divide my troops from the two lakes to attack them, the two Zhejiang will be defeated. Therefore, this time, the army broke several cities, but it was not like in Fujian, and the troops were divided to defend it. just blindly divide my treasury and kill my officials. Wen Tianxiang's move, without him, wants to share the heart of Hongfan. Its army was overly dependent on seagoing vessels. Although the movement was swift, the front was also controlled by sea vessels, and could only be along the coast, or in the lower reaches of the river. Entering the depths of the river, the sea ship is huge, and it is blocked by the current and wind in the river, which is far less fast than the river boat. Therefore, its soldiers are bound to be no more healthy (Nanjing), and the harm to our DPRK is limited. ”

"It is precisely because of this principle that I am still worried that Hongfan's grain road will be cut off by pirates, and listening to the words of the eldest brother, my troubles will be gone!" Hearing this, Kublai Khan praised with joy.

"But if the nine generals are unable to end the war in Guangnan for a long time, or if Wen Tianxiang abandons the dynasty in order to preserve his strength, the two Zhejiang will be trapped in the war for a long time. No one can hold it, today the captives will attack, and tomorrow our army will take it. Even if His Majesty had the heart to collect the grain money from now on, he would not be able to collect it. It's better to be generous and make a personal favor. Dong Wenshan's face became more and more excited, and he actually revealed a bit of the flush of life.

Kublai Khan was afraid that he would be affected, so he nodded again and again. Indicate that you have understood what he means, and you can ask someone to draft the purpose later. Dong Wenshan didn't stop, gasped, and continued: "We Han people have a saying, Cangqiao knows etiquette, and food and clothing know honor and disgrace. Thinking about the homes of ordinary people, I only care about who keeps them fed and clothed. When you're hungry, you don't care who will be the emperor. For them, land and a small amount of family property are far more tangible than fortune. Wen Tianxiang took a fancy to this, so he would rather abandon the decree of the dynasty and ignore it, and blindly please the people. Your Majesty's future troubles may not be remnants of the Song Dynasty, but Fujian. Therefore, to compete for the hearts and minds of the people, we must put it first! ”

"I know, big brother, you rest, I just do it!" Kublai Khan saw that Dong Wenshan's face had already presented a return to the light, and agreed loudly, lest he say something wrong, and Dong Wenshan would leave with regret. A heart is like being cut with a knife, and it is indescribably sad.
