Liyang County, which is close to Taihu Lake, was under the jurisdiction of Jinling City, Liu Yu's hometown, in later generations, but in this time and space, it was part of Jiankang Mansion. Tang Gaozu Wude three years, abolished Yongshi County, and divided the eastern part of Lishui to place Liyang County, which is another important passage from Jiankang Mansion to Jingshi Lin'an.

In the south of the county, there is a big mansion, which was originally given by the late prime minister Zhao Kui. Above the middle hall of the house, a portrait is hung on the wall, like a figure with a high crown moth belt, holding a board. It is the history of the five dynasties, the official to the right prime minister and privy envoy, Xianchun died in the second year, posthumously presented to the Taifu, Zhao Kui of Zhi Zhongjing.

The next person in the hall stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the portrait and muttering, there were several documents on the table beside him, and he also held a few pages of letter paper in his hand. On the letter, however, is the handwriting of Zhao Wei, the former envoy of the Yangtze River, and this letter came with the Ministry of Officials today. And this person is Zhao Wei's younger brother, Zhao Kui's nephew, named Zhao Huai.

Turning his head to look at the clerk's department, Taifu Sicheng, Jiangdong transfer envoy, Zhiliyang County, is the eighth rank, but he is doing the four-grade ministry of the transfer department all the way. The court was already sick and rushed to the doctor, even he, a lazy man who had been idle at home for several years, did not let go.

In Zhao Wei's letter, his brother gave him a detailed description of the situation in the court, Chen Xianggong has been promoted to the right minister, and is cleaning up the rest of Jia Nidao's party, and everyone who was suppressed by Jia Nidao has been recovering one after another, is this considered compensation for himself?

Zhao Huai couldn't help but shake his head, how could he not know the mystery of this, since the Jia family came to power, people with lofty ideals have either been demoted or resigned, and only those who are fortunate enough to be as lucky as their brother can be in a high position. Chen Xianggong, what did he rely on back then? Now that I know that it is clear, to put it bluntly, isn't it just a struggle for power and profit, what a clear stream.

Or is it because of the situation, the Tartar army is advancing rapidly, and there are people fleeing in Liyang County, far in the interior. How many famous cities and cities have fallen when they hear the wind, what can they do when they go out of the mountains? picked up a document pressed at the bottom, but it was an official letter from the Jiankang Mansion Ya, which was transferred from the county government to himself.

Zhao Huai knew that the same official letter must have been received by the neighboring Lishui County, and in the official letter, the unheard of Liu Taishou told the counties to evacuate the people as much as possible, and there was no need to resist the city. However, before the arrival of the Yuan people, the grain, grass, military and other materials must be transferred, and the personnel should be withdrawn as much as possible.

This line of writing is quite unusual, because for a long time, whether it is a state or a county, the chief official has the responsibility of defending the territory, and he has never heard of the Shangguan will let his subordinates abandon the city and go away, and there is no need to be responsible. This order, no matter what the result is, will inevitably be pursued by the imperial court. Who is this Liu Taishou?

Although his uncle Zhao Kui is an official to the right minister, he is an out-and-out military general, and he is also a fierce general. Zhao Huai is also familiar with military books, and he is a person who can get a horse and a bow, whether it is Lishui or Liyang, they are all small cities, and there is no luck in defending the city.

But if it is as stated in the official letter, retreating with the county people, it will live up to the intention of the imperial court, and this kind of thing, why let yourself, a person who has been idle for many years, do it. The terrain of the entire Jiankang Mansion is in Zhao Huai's mind, thinking for a moment, a place name comes into mind, if you can hold this place, it will block the road for the Tartars to bypass Dusong Pass to Lin'an in the south, Zhao Huai can't help but fall into contemplation.

"Student petition!" When Liu Yu heard Hu Sanxing's words, he raised his forehead and looked at the sky, but he didn't expect that in this time and space, he could enjoy this kind of treatment. Although there were only more than 100 people, the government yamen was blocked.

With a hint of curiosity, Liu Yu walked to the gate of the courtyard, there were no familiar slogans or anything, and the forbidden army guarding the door did not look like a great enemy, a group of young people dressed as scholars stood outside the door, standing quietly, this is a "quiet demonstration"?

"Since this official took office, he has never visited the school, which is really a dereliction of duty, and he is ashamed of everyone." There were not many people, and Liu Yu didn't take a megaphone, so he made a gesture to the crowd, no matter what happened, it must be right to lower his posture first.

There was some commotion in the crowd, and those who had never seen Liu Yu didn't expect this Taishou to be so young, and the soldiers in the front row saw this situation, and they were in a hurry and returned the salute indiscriminately. Liu Yu raised his head and found that the street outside the door was already crowded with onlookers.

"Although the government is not a heavy place, it is also the face of the court, if you have any requests today, you can enter to discuss, it is better to get out of the way at this door. It's almost noon, and everyone hasn't eaten, how is this official doing today? ”

Under the double offensive, the students were a little overwhelmed, they did not use their imagination to suppress people, and they didn't even say a word of heavy words. Although the Song people are well-groomed, they are still flattered by the fact that a scarlet robe parent is so respectful.

There are not many tables in the house, more than 100 people can only stand in the open space in the front yard, Liu Yu did not let people close the door and let the dogs go, but just ordered the forbidden army to disperse the crowd of onlookers outside. After a while, a sergeant came with a wooden barrel containing food, and someone else began to hand out dishes and chopsticks to the people.

Today's main dish is braised pork, which was concocted by Liu Yu according to the practice of later generations, and was very popular with the soldiers of the forbidden army, even literati such as Yuan Hong of Hu San Province were no exception.

Liu Yu used his big bowl to make a bowl of rice, and regardless of the official uniform, he squatted on the steps and began to eat, which was not deliberately pretentious. Usually he does this when he has time, and usually at this time, it is also the time when the forbidden army in the palace surrounds him and listens to him talk about the ancients.

"Well, today's Huang Laosan's craftsmanship is good, crispy but not rotten, and the cut is also even, don't look at me, everyone tastes it, it's no worse than Mr. Su's Dongpo meat." Liu Yu saw that everyone was still a little restrained, and greeted with a smile, everyone laughed, each found a place to eat, and they all praised it.

Dongpo meat is sweeter, while Liu Yu makes Sichuan flavor, a little spicy, the taste is very heavy, extremely good for rice, and it is not easy to get greasy. Those who eat it for the first time will quickly like it, and the meals provided by Fuxue are not so delicious.

Liu Yu has always eaten quickly, and after eating, he deliberately waited for a while, until most of the people finished eating a bowl and some people went to add rice. Only then did I put away the dishes and chopsticks, the heat was almost over, and the students' feelings were the most peaceful time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we can still eat this meat here today, and wait until the Tartar army besieges the city, and then we want to do this and this again, but it is impossible, and I will not wait. Let's just say that this rice, which grain is not the hard-earned income of those old farmers outside the city, and now, because they want to escape the war, they are forced to abandon their homes. ”

"The day before yesterday, the official went to see it with Yuan Tongju, Hu Jiyi and others, and most of them slept under the eaves of the street. What to eat, a spoonful of gruel distributed by the government was a coarse grain cake, and the official tasted it, and it was as hard as a stone, and he almost broke a tooth. When everyone heard Liu Yu's words, they all stopped their dishes and chopsticks and gathered around.

"You are all full of poetry and books, full of wealth, in the future will be out of the imperial court, for the Son of Heaven to shepherd the people, Mencius Yun 'Yu thinks that there are drowning people in the world, as if they are drowning; If you think that there are hungry people in the world, you will be hungry yourself'Seeing this scene, everyone, you would rather not think about it. Talking to the scholar is all kinds of tiredness, and the reason why he can remember this sentence is because his name comes from this.

Hearing Liu Yu's words, everyone was speechless, and a student muttered in a low voice: "The city is vast, and there is not only the school palace, why do you have to wait for me to move away, and besides, those are cheap" Liu Yu's gaze swept towards him, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, stabbing the student to stop.

"Untouchables? The officials don't dare to say this, the Taiping rejuvenated the country for three years, the Kaifeng Mansion is flooded, the officials and the saints open the palace, and let the people in the city avoid the water, how many of them are the pariahs in your mouth! Hu Sanxing came over with a bowl and said disdainfully. The student was red in shame and bowed his head silently.

"I went to the school yesterday to discuss this matter with the teachings, and I saw a picture hanging on top of your school, day and night, I must be familiar with it, everyone here, who can recite it?" Hu Sanxing glanced around, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"The students know that it is Mr. Hengqu's words, 'Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to study for the saints, and open peace for all generations,'" one student replied as he stood up.

"Well said, what does this sentence mean, there is no need to explain it here, the gentleman who is waiting for you must have already given it. Something to say is that all things are born in nature, and only people are precious. Today's matter is urgent, the Taishou is invited, but it is only a temporary loan, and as soon as the war is over, it can be returned, why do you want to do this kind of cozy. ”

Hu Sanxing's words made all the students bow their heads, with Hu Sanxing, there is no need for Liu Yu, a half-tone literati, to come out, to solve this matter, he still has more hard work to do.
