This monk's common surname is Chen, and he is a member of the Chen clan in Yingchuan and a descendant of the family. The reason why he became a monk was naturally a big change, so he was a staunch anti-Tian faction, and his status as a monk was just a convenient condition for him to travel all over the world, and he was not a real devout Buddhist.

Otherwise, Tian Qiniang believes in Buddhism and wantonly improves the status of Buddhism, as a Buddhist disciple, there is no reason for him to have a relationship with Chen Ruzhi of the Baojiang faction, and deliberately plot to deal with Tian Qiniang, the great protector of Buddhism.

Nowadays, Buddhism is prevalent, and Guoyan travels around various state capitals, enters and exits wealthy families, and befriends officials as a monk, without attracting attention at all. Through this identity, he can cooperate with Chen Ruzhi to contact more loyal ministers and righteous people who are interested in recovering Jiang Qi.

Monk Guoyan said happily: "Chen Gong's plan can get rid of the cool officials and protect the people, and it can also attract the attention of the imperial court and strictly investigate the mediocre officials in the border counties, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone." ”

Chen Ruzhi stroked his beard and smiled: "It's not all! He is advancing and winning again and again, and the four towns of Muhua are about to be recovered. When the time comes, the power of our army will be great, and there will be no two for a while, and when the army returns, it will be even more intimidating to the barbarians. The barbarians rebelled today, and appeased them, and when the overall situation was settled, they had to dissipate their rebellious spirit, so that they would be more respectful to the court in the future. ”

Guoyan's eyes flashed, and he said happily: "This so-called, kill four birds with one stone!" ”

Chen Ruzhi: "After this incident, Yao'er is the old man's fellow boatman, this woman is a new upstart in the court, young and promising, and what is even more rare is that she is in a high position and does not forget her roots, and is the official of the country." There is this woman and the old husband in the same boat, and they will meet in the future. Isn't it a right-hand man! ”

Monk Guoyan stroked his palms and laughed: "Haha, so to speak. It's a five-way thing! Chen Gong's talent is enough to determine the world, Ansheji, and the history of a county, he is really talented, if he is the prime minister one day, he must be able to make the world peaceful! ”

Chen Ruzhi smiled and said, "The master praised it." ”

Monk Guoyan said: "Without further ado, the poor monk will go." ”

Chen Ruzhi got up and said, "There is Master Lao!" ”

The monk Guoyan said: "There is supreme merit in this matter. The poor monk dares not to serve! "Then he picked up his shoes and sprinkled them away.

Chen Ruzhi knew that this monk was casual and did not like to be bound by vulgar etiquette. After he went out, he sat down and gently turned the incense burner. There was a hint of a smile on his face: kill five birds with one stone. Is it really only five?

The imperial court's control over Yunjun was actually weaker than that of Qiongjun.

After Yunjun was annexed to the imperial court, the local wealthy clans wanted to be nominally under the control of the imperial court, but in essence they were still completely autonomous, and the imperial court tried to meddle in Yunjun and strengthen the control of the imperial court.

It is not a territory that has been taken down by force, and it is naturally difficult to insert forces into it. If it has been assimilated for a long time, it may be a few generations later. The influence of the imperial court was infiltrated step by step, but the imperial court was in too haste. The result has not only failed to strengthen and stabilize control over the region, but has instead caused long-term instability in the region.

In addition, the area is adjacent to Chuman. The Yunjun clan and the Chu Barbarian nobles both had some in-law relationship, although the Yun County clan was closer to Jiang Qi, but once the imperial court tried to meddle in the affairs of Yun County, they would fall to the side of Chu Man.

Therefore, if the imperial court tried to send troops to coerce by force, then it must be prepared to fight more than just the local tribes of Yunjun. It is also necessary to prepare for the Chu State to participate in the war, which is also a headache for the imperial court. I had to tighten it and loosen it, and I never dared to be too tough.

But Hong Seyan didn't know about these situations, he buried himself in reading poetry and books, and stayed in the capital directly after entering high school, and then because he hugged the right thigh, he was put into the Yushitai by Jun Xiachen, and since then he has been committed to the great cause of the whole person. I don't know anything about the current political changes, especially the situation in remote border states.

He regarded people outside the capital, especially the wealthy families in these border states, as hillbillies, but he didn't know that he himself was also a canary raised in a cage. In Kyori, royal power is above all else. It is a power that can destroy everything, so he who is in the hands of the Holy Purpose, thinks that when he arrives in the place, he will call for wind and rain and be omnipotent.

And he was hindered by Yao'er in Qiongjun, he couldn't play prestige, and he didn't get enough benefits, and after he arrived in Yunjun, he was even more urgent, and his methods became even more intensified.

After Hong Seyan arrived in Yunjun, he learned his lesson in Qiongjun and refused to ask the case step by step. When he was in Qiongjun, he also pretended to gather the wanderers and tried to find a satisfactory reason before executing the criminals, this time he rushed to Yunjun in the dust, and the first thing he did was to gather the wanderers and kill them.

When the Governor's Mansion was abolished, when the Governor's Mansion was established, some people were sent over, and when the Governor's Mansion was abolished, the exiles would no longer be assigned here, and when the Governor's Mansion was abolished, the exiles here would lose the control of the government, and they would leave the settlements designated by the imperial court and scatter everywhere in order to make a living.

This time, the number of displaced people that Hong Seyan hastily arrested was very limited, there were only seven or eight families in total, and these were all displaced people who had not left the scope of Yunjun Prefecture. Hong Seyan was very dissatisfied with this, and felt that there were only such a few people, and it was really unconvincing to say that they were rebelling.

But it will be difficult for him to arrest more people, on the one hand, the Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion have been abolished again and again, and a large number of official archives have been lost, and many people now have no household registration records and cannot be found. On the other hand, many homeless people were protected by the local people.

The people here don't care if you are a prisoner exiled by the imperial court, those exiled families are all eunuch families, the children are literate and hyphenated, and they are knowledgeable and courteous, and the people here like to get married to such people, and once they become in-laws, they will naturally be protected by them.

Tian Qiniang was in the first dynasty, in order to ascend the throne, the officials of the previous dynasty were innumerable, and the families involved in the big families and high-ranking officials above the third rank alone amounted to thousands of families and tens of thousands of people, and these officials still had factions and subordinates in the local area, and there were even more officials who were implicated, and there were more people who were sent to Yunjun.

However, some of the exiles lost the control of the government and moved away, and many of the exiles who remained in Yunjun were sheltered because they had married the locals, and the government could not catch these people at all, or did not dare to arrest them, and did not want to arrest them. Because of the abolition of the government several times, the prestige of the government has been discredited, and the local people are not afraid of them at all.

The few families that Hong Seyan killed were still because they didn't leave Yun County. and self-reliance on the Central Plains clan, unwilling to marry the barbarians and no one to protect them. Hong Seyan had nothing to do, so he had to focus on hugging money and women, and was ready to go to other counties and counties when he was full, but who knew that this hug would make a big leak!

In the distance, a river rolled down, and there were a few small dots on the bright silver water. Standing on the edge of the river, you can see clearly, it is a few small boats fishing in the wind and waves.

The fisherman stood firmly on the bow of the boat with his bare feet, his ten toes habitually spread. Firmly attached to the deck, the stern of the boat pierced the cobble-egg-thick penny to the bottom of the water, and held the boat steadily, his arms because of the force. The muscles bulged like heavy chimes.

The fisherman at the bow of the boat twisted his waist gracefully and raised his arms. The net in his hand is like a light cloud, and I wonder if there is a full harvest under this net......

On the hillside, there are bunches of irregularly shaped paddy fields, as if a piece of heavenly mirror has broken and distributed on the ground, and bunches of green are drilled out of the white water surface, and then the blue sky and white clouds are reflected, interweaving a beautiful picture.

The farmer with his trouser leg covered in mud on his stomach trudged through the paddy fields. With each step, the delicate and silky soft mud creaks out of their toes like mischievous loaches. Tiny bubbles ripple on the surface of the water.

Sweet mountain songs floated over the paddy fields, and the peasants who were working in the paddy fields sang a word from you and me, including men, women, old and young, singing in relay and enjoying themselves.

In fact, the sun is a bit scorching, but people here are used to this kind of weather. There was a horse on the mountainside, it was a jujube red horse, the horse hung its tail, and walked weakly, and immediately sat a man in green clothes, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and a horse bag on his buttocks, which looked like a person running long distances.

Although the bamboo hat shaded the sun, sweat ran down his sideburns, pooled into drops on his chin, and fell on the horse's back, and he looked into the distance, a mountain path that zigzagged and did not know where it led.

On the path, four or five girls were walking towards him, all dressed in white blouses and embroidered with red painted birds. There are playful fragmentary silver ornaments hanging on the right knot, an embroidered ribbon is tied on the slender waist, a pair of blue wide pants are worn underneath, and a pair of embroidered "white shoes" are on the feet, which looks beautiful, playful and charming.

The girls were not very old, twelve or thirteen years old. The girls here are precocious, and they get married early, and even the older ones are married. Even at their age, there are many people who are already wives and mothers.

The man in Tsing Yi on the horse jumped off the horse neatly, wiped the sweat on his face with the back of his hand, and asked a few girls with a polite smile: "Excuse me, may I ask the girl, how far is it from here to Yunjun City?" ”

"Ahh It's the elder brother of the Qi family. ”

As soon as they heard his accent, several girls laughed heartily, and one of them turned around and raised her hand, and pointed enthusiastically, "Oh, you go over here." There's a fork in the road, don't take the left one. Otherwise, you will go straight down, and when you reach the river, you will go upstream along the river, and there will be a suspension bridge about seven or eight miles away......"

The little girl's Chinese language is not very standard, but her voice is delicate and glutinous. The summer dress was thin, and she raised her wrist with a silver bracelet to point into the distance, twisting her waist and raising her arms. A beautiful curve stretched up on her chest, which made her red little face even more pretty.

The man in Tsing Yi nodded with a smile and arched his hand: "Thank you girl for your advice." ”

Another little girl saw that this man from the Han family was handsome. He was also polite when he spoke, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Qi, you are thirsty, do you want to drink some water." ”

"Okay!" The man in Tsing Yi showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled heartily: "But...... What do you drink it with? ”

He had seen the water basket that the girl was carrying on her shoulder, but there was neither a bowl nor a scoop, and he did not have a crow's mouth, could he put his mouth into the water basket and drink?

The girl laughed and said, "You are so stupid, they will give you a drink." ”

The girl shouldered sideways, holding the bottom of the water basket with one hand, the clear and bright water poured down, Yao'er squatted down, opened her mouth wide, and drank the sweet water with a "knock", a little girl pushed the little girl who carried the water narrowly, the little girl "oops", her body shook, and the water splashed on Yao'er's face, and several girls laughed "card".

The little girl glared at the little sisters, and under a pair of dark and bright eyebrows, her eyes were bent into a shy crescent moon: "I'm sorry, Brother Qi." ”

"It's nothing, it's cool to rush like this."

The man in Tsing Yi wiped a handful of water droplets on his face, and his originally sweaty face was really much cooler.

"Hmm!"

The girl bit her lip, smiled, and beckoned to him, "Let's go!" ”

The girls were shoulder to shoulder, not knowing what they were saying, sometimes someone laughed, sometimes someone chased after them, and the splash jumped up behind their shoulders, flashing in the air and falling back into the basket. Suddenly, a girl turned around and shouted at the man in Tsing Yi: "Brother Qi, welcome to our Hebai tribe as a guest!" ”

Shen Rendrunk turned his head and beckoned to them, and when he turned his head again, a series of fresh chirps and sweet melodious songs sounded behind him: "(A Xiaoni) sister, across the mountain (Ni) I heard (hey) bells ringing, (Ge is the mouth of Luo I Ni little brother), I don't know where Brother (Ni) is going?" ”

Shen Rendrunk smiled slightly, shaking the reins of the horse, this exotic woman really has an unrestrained style that is different from the Central Plains.

Yao'er also smiled slightly, she likes this place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are simple. Amorous girls are like Nanyang girls, they like it without concealment, pursue it generously, tease you, but do not come to accommodate you, like a clear mountain spring water, always run freely on her established life trajectory.

However, they were too enthusiastic about this drunken person, which made her a little angry, but what made her even more angry was that Shen Rendrunk still had a complacent enjoyment.

I heard that the imperial court sent 500 Guannei soldiers to garrison Yunjun, due to the treacherous terrain and the miasma gas was too heavy, they all died in the end, this time he came, Chen Ruzhi also specially prepared medicine for him to prevent the miasma. But she saw that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, is it simply a paradise, how can it be so sinister?

The sky is as blue as washing, the river is like a beautiful streamer, the wind blows gently on the hillside, the paddy fields on the hillside are sparkling, and Yao'er's figure gradually disappears at the end of the hillside in the girl's amorous and sweet mountain song...... (To be continued......)
