Chapter 344: Journey to the North (II)
When Yang Yingqi set off, the queen, the prince, Ouyang Shi, Chen Zhenghui, etc. all came to see each other, and Yang Yingqi made a peacemaker in the Wuli Pavilion, so that Ou and Chen could get back together. After Yan Hu Ouyang Shi and others went back, Chen Zhenghui sent another ten miles, and when he saw that there was no one else, Chen Zhenghui sighed: "The four generals are willing to reconcile with me, and the seven generals must have secretly made a big effort, I know the intentions of the seven generals, you are worried that after you leave, I will be squeezed out by Han Fang and others in the Beijing division - in fact, you don't have to be like this, seven generals, now Your Majesty is acting arbitrarily, and I am also quite discouraged." Or in one or two years, or in March or May, when Your Majesty finds a suitable candidate, I will ask for resignation. ”
Yang Yingqi hurriedly said: "How can this be!" Now the eldest brother is about to go south, and without you in Beijing, I am afraid that the financial aspect will be very difficult. ”
Chen Zhenghui said angrily: "Southern Expedition! Expedition to the South! Seven, general, weren't you dismissed because you opposed the Southern Expedition! The so-called Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. We didn't come to be this official for these five buckets of rice, since we don't agree with the political opinions, why should we grieve ourselves to meet others? If it weren't for the Seven Generals' efforts to dissuade you that day, our gang would have resigned en masse! ”
"If you agree, you will come, and if you don't, you will go, which is not wrong. But ......" Yang Yingqi said: "But if you quit at this time, the Han is only afraid that he will encounter a great administrative crisis." At the beginning, Wang Anshi changed the law, Sima Wengong and other sages who opposed the change of law retreated, and after the failure of the change, Cheng Zi and others reflected on themselves and regretted it, thinking that although their position was not wrong, Wang Anshi was indeed too reluctant, but he was also too opposed to Wang Anshi. ”
Chen Zhenghui said: "Do the seven generals want me to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and balance Han Fang?" ”
"Not bad." Yang Yingqi said: "Although we do not agree with this southern expedition, the general direction has been agreed, and the next implementation can no longer be hindered, but should try our best to cooperate." It is best if you can win, and if there is a danger, I hope to minimize the loss. The controversy should stop at the discussion of the Prime Minister's Office, and as for reflection, let's wait until the war is over. Now that the matter of the Southern Expedition is actually already underway, we are arguing and reflecting at this time, and it is inappropriate to say it lightly, and it is close to misleading the country and betraying the country! Although the eldest brother is not as good as Wang Jiefu, as long as you are acting impartially, he will not completely listen to Han Fang's words. But if you retire by yourself, not only will there be a lot of advice in the ears of the eldest brother, but there will also be a lot of vacant positions in the Prime Minister's Mansion - you are gone, but someone has to do things, and then the eldest brother can only use Han Fang and Liu Cao's people. Once Han Fang borrows the letter of his eldest brother and corrects the power of the officials, I am afraid that even Chen Xian will be hollowed out. But if you are here, he will not be too indulgent, and secondly, he will not deal with Chen Xian first but will deal with you first, although Chen Xian is tactful, he is not a person who is willing to do ornaments, in such a situation, he must be fair on the surface, help you secretly, plus the help of the fourth brother, you can restrain Han Fang from daring to mess around. But if you all quit and hand over all the important positions of the Prime Minister's Mansion to others, then not only will the southern expedition that the eldest brother may not fail to lose, but even the administrative atmosphere that we have worked hard for more than ten years to establish will also be destroyed once - once the atmosphere is corrupted, then our Han will fall into the abyss of the vicious circle after the Northern Song Dynasty Shenzong and cannot extricate ourselves, if it really comes to that day, not only you, but also I will be to blame! ”
Chen Zhenghui listened to the sweat dripping down, bowed his hands and said: "Seventh General, I still don't think as far-reaching, I am older than you, but I think things more impulsively than you." Don't worry, from now on, I won't mention the matter of retreating again, unless His Majesty orders me to be dismissed, I will definitely stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I will save a vitality for the country no matter what. ”
Yang Yingqi was overjoyed and said: "If you can think like this, then I can go with peace of mind." After Chen Zhenghui went back, Yang Yingqi took Lin Yu on the road, and first found the valley of death - this is the birthplace of the Han Dynasty, and after they returned to the Yanyun area, the old people found here, built some pavilions and houses, and rebuilt the graves of their companions who died in the valley. Yang Yingqi sighed at the grave and said to Lin Yu: "If I hadn't survived that plague at the beginning, there would be no you in this world." He found the place where he woke up again, and said to Lin Yu: "There was a grass hut here, and my eldest brother and I met here and recuperated." ”
Lin Yu asked: "Recognize each other?" You've known each other before? ”
Yang Yingqi was stunned, his mind was suddenly confused, and he said after a long time: "I don't know, when I opened my eyes, the first person I saw was him, and I thought he and I were brothers...... In fact, I always felt that I was not from this world, and I felt that my eldest brother and I were from another world, but after so many years, I forgot a lot of things in that world...... Maybe it was just a dream......"
Lin Yu asked, "What is that world like?" ”
Yang Yingqi hugged his head and pondered, and after thinking for a while, his head suddenly felt a sharp pain, which frightened Lin Yu and shouted: "Dad! Don't think about it! Don't think about it! Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "Alas, since I was driven crazy by that old monk, I have a headache when I think of this, so I don't dare to think about it for a long time." ”
They stayed in the valley for a day, and after leaving the valley, they did not go south to Xiongzhou, but went directly out of the old site of the Great Wall, and came to the earthen city where they burned and killed the wolves. The earth city had already collapsed after a fire, but at this time a new earth city was built - but when Oriyan rushed to the north, he ordered Wang Dahui to supervise the construction according to the original appearance, and arranged for several families to guard it here.
Yang Yingqi entered Tucheng and saw that the layout inside was very similar, but the wood and stone were very new, and there were even dozens of barrels of oil piled up in the basement. He pointed it out to Lin Yu while watching, and told him how Xiao Tienu was ambushed back then, how he planned it, and in turn forced Xiao Tienu into a desperate situation - Lin Yu had naturally heard these things a long time ago, but at this time, listening to the person in question tell about the past on the spot had a different flavor. When he heard that Xiao Tienu was forced back by the wolves and Zhi Yan rushed to save him, he said: "Yes, if you don't mention this, I will forget that Liubo was your enemy at the beginning, and later turned his mortal enemy into a brother." ”
Yang Yingqi smiled slightly, stood on the earth city and pointed to Lin Yu: "Oh, that's it, at that time, your sixth uncle was trapped in the wolves, and his whole body was covered in blood. Your uncle is going to save him, and I said it's okay to save him, but you have to make him promise not to embarrass us in the future. Your uncle said that when facing wild beasts, humans should watch and rescue each other, so he took your second uncle and them to save people. Speaking of this, I thought of Cao Guangbi, and I felt sad in my heart.
Lin Yu said: "Uncle is really a hero, Lao Yang, you seem to be a bit of a mother-in-law compared to him." ”
Yang Yingqi smiled and didn't argue, and suddenly saw a strange hill in the north of Tucheng, but it didn't exist before, so he went out of the city to take a closer look, only to find that the hill was actually made of thousands of wolf skulls! Lin Yu was dumbfounded and said, "Amazing! Terrible! You killed so many wolves! ”
Yang Yingqi was stunned and said, "No, we didn't kill it." He summoned the people who guarded Tucheng to ask, and the caretaker replied, "This is something sent by Xiao Dashuai." Yang Yingqi asked Xiao Dashuai what he was doing with these wolf bones, and the guard said: "I don't know about this, but I heard that after the victory in Mobei, Xiao Dashuai issued a wolf killing order, to exterminate the wolves in Mobei, and also offered a reward, you can take the wolf's head to ask for a reward if you kill the wolf." Over the years, the wolves in Mobei have been killed less and less, and I am afraid they will become extinct. ”
Lin Yu stuck out his tongue and said: "Liubo is really terrible, those wolves were wiped out after just a few bites of him, which is a little pitiful." ”
Yang Yingqi looked at the place where Xiao Tienu was surrounded by wolves, meditated for a long time, and said: "Your sixth uncle is very good at holding grudges, and his grudges are different from your fourth uncle. Lin Yu asked what was the difference, Yang Yingqi said: "Your fourth uncle's words are big and small hatreds, even if it is just a trivial matter, he may remember it, but your sixth uncle is different, if you make him angry because of a trivial matter, he may beat you on the spot or even kill you, if you don't move you at that time, you will forget it later." ”
Lin Yu said with a smile: "In this way, the sixth uncle is more broad-minded. ”
"Then you can't say that." Yang Yingqi said: "Although your fourth uncle also remembers the big hatred and the small hatred, but he is not scheming, no matter the big hatred or the small hatred, even if he remembers the impression, the impression will become more and more shallow, and when the time comes, he will have a seizure and make you angry, but it may not necessarily put you to death." ”
Lin Yu asked, "What about the sixth uncle?" ”
"He's ......" Yang Yingqi said: "If you have a small grudge, he shouldn't keep it in mind." But if it's a great enemy......"
Lin Yu pointed to the hilly-like wolf skull and said, "These wolves are role models!" ”
Yang Yingqi frowned and muttered, "No, although those wolves bit him, with his temperament, he shouldn't take these small wounds to heart." Why do you have such a deep grudge that you want to exterminate the Mobei wolf pack? ”
Lin Yu said: "Maybe he hates the wolves and drives him into a corner." ”
Yang Yingqi said: "The wolves have forced him into a desperate situation, but he has also been blessed by misfortune - if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have bowed to us, if he hadn't joined the Han Department, maybe he would have been just a little horse thief in this desert until now." If it were me, instead of hating these wolves, I would be grateful. ”
Lin Yu smiled: "Sixth Uncle is not you, maybe he just wants to be a horse thief happily!" ”
His words were originally unintentionally raised, but Yang Yingqi was stunned when he heard it, and said in his heart: "Is that so...... Is that so? So he hated these wolves, not because they hurt him, but because they forced him to accept the help of the enemy? Is it because he hates these wolves that he has to bow down to us? So does he still hate us? Suddenly, remembering Xiao Tienu's deeds of killing his father and brother, he couldn't help but tremble, and Lin Yu hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Is it cold? Do you want to wear a robe? ”
"No, no." Yang Yingqi covered up his unnaturalness with laughter and said, "I thought about it just now." But I couldn't help but shake the scene of Xiao Tienu being rescued into the city back then:
"Who shot me tonight?" When Xiao Tienu asked this, how could there be a little yield in his eyes? And when he heard that the arrow was shot by Zhi Yanchong, Yang Yingqi felt a little strange when he recalled it now.
"I know why I lost to you!" After Xiao Tienu entered Tucheng, he summed up the reason for his failure: "There are many of you, and I only have one, this is the reason!" ”
This is already the past twenty years ago, so far away that Yang Yingqi has long forgotten it, and then he remembered it again when he revisited the old place, and said in his heart: "Back then, he not only broke his plan by me, but also fell into my trap in turn, and was shot by his eldest brother, and lost that battle very completely, but with his arrogance, I don't know if he really accepted it." I don't have a good temper with him, but he has been more concerned about my affairs than the other brothers over the years, is it just because of brotherly affection, or is it ...... Or is it because I'm afraid I'll die? The wolf bones in front of him suddenly rushed to his face, and one of them turned into his own head! Yang Yingqi was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and then realized that it was just an illusion.
Lin Yu hurriedly helped him and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yang Yingqi struggled to get up and said, "It's okay, it's okay." But looking at the wolf's bones like a mountain, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and he didn't want to stay, and said in his heart: "I really want to fork it, the sixth brother won't be that kind of person." But he didn't dare to look at the wolf bone hill again, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" There's still a long way to go! ”

Due to personal reasons, at the end of this month, Ah Bo has to go back to his hometown to do something, it takes two days to do things, and it takes two days to go back and forth on the road, so it is likely that it will not be updated from the 28th to the 31st, and it will resume on April 1st at the latest, and it is estimated that the whole book will end in mid-April. Since the opening of "Bian Rong", there has been basically no break for more than two days, and now it has been written to the last volume and the late season is not guaranteed, and I feel helpless. In the past two years, although Ah Bo has also been on a business trip a few times, but because there is a manuscript in the past, but now the manuscript has been broken, so I can only say sorry to everyone, and please forgive me.
