Chapter 57: The Covenant of the Bamboo House
Suddenly hearing the name of Zhao Kuangyin, Lu Yuan's heart was shocked, this is the founder of the Song Dynasty.
"Is Miss Qin also going to serve Zhao Kuangyin?" Lu Yuan froze and asked.
"How can I serve him as a woman, Lord Lu laughed." Qin Youyu said with a smile.
"That's too." Lu Yuan felt a lightness in his heart.
At this time, Lu Yutong finished his meal and said, "Brother, I'll go out to play." ”
She eats faster than anyone else.
Qin Quan observed his words and looks, and saw that Lu Yuan cared about his sister very much, and said with a smile:
"Sister, I watch Lord Lu act, maybe I can fulfill your dream, why don't you tell him?"
Uncle Li's heart skipped a beat while he was listening, and he thought, "Isn't a woman's dream to get married?" Qin Quan, this kid, has to marry her sister? But what is Lord Lu's identity and how can he climb high? ”
"What dreams do I have?" Qin Youyu's face remained unchanged.
"You can hide it from others, do you still want to hide it from me? You want to be a female general like Fan Lihua, yes or no? Qin Quan smiled.
Qin Youyu's cheeks flushed slightly, then he returned to his natural nature, and said with a smile: "Even if you are right, so what?" ”
Qin Quan smiled and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Miss Qin, I can't promise anything like you right now, but the world is changing, although there is not much hope, but as long as there is a chance, I am willing to help you realize your dream." Lu Yuan said slowly.
He came from a later life, and he had no mental obstacles to a woman becoming a female general, and since fate sent him to this world, as he gradually took root here, he began to have a thought in his heart: maybe he could avoid the appearance of the Song Dynasty!
Qin Youyu looked at Lu Yuan with a pair of wonderful eyes, silent.
"Lord Lu, even if you become the prime minister, you can't do this, do you understand?" Qin Quan reminded.
"I understand." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.
The Qin brothers and sisters are all smart people, and they immediately understood the meaning of his words, only Uncle Li was a little confused, and he didn't know what the three of them were talking about.
"Uncle Li, it's not too early, you should go back." Qin Youyu suddenly spoke.
"I want to accompany Lord Lu, there is no major event at home, so I am not in a hurry." Li Dashan said with a smile.
Seeing Qin Youyu glaring at him, Lu Yuan had no choice but to speak: "Uncle Li, I'll go to Jiming Village to see you after a while, you can go back and rest first." ”
Although Li Dashan was a little unhappy, he didn't want to go against Lu Yuan's intentions, and said: "Okay, I'll go first, Lord Lu, you must remember to come to our Jiming Village!" ”
After the old man left, Qin Youyu asked slowly: "Lord Lu, I don't know what you think of today's general trend. ”
The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth rose slightly, and he thought: "I may not be able to answer if you ask anything else, since you ask this, then let you see the horror of the people of the next generation!" ”
He pretended to think for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"In my opinion, the Later Han Dynasty is unstable, and it will be destroyed by the new Central Plains regime within a year, although the Southern Tang Dynasty can destroy Chu, but the emperor Li Jing is ambitious but incapable, he likes poetry and poetry and does not pay attention to practical learning, the country has no heavy martial arts, and his sons are even worse than him, so if it continues, it will be destroyed by the Central Plains regime sooner or later."
The Qin brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little shocked.
"I would like to listen to Lord Lu's ambitions!" Qin Quan said solemnly, no longer as lazy as before.
"At the beginning, I also planned to see the opportunity to go to the north to serve, after all, the Khitans of the Liao State have always been resisted by the northern regime, and if they are defeated, the people of the world will suffer."
Qin Quan became a confidant and said excitedly: "I also have this idea when I go to the north. ”
"But I had a concern, and after some thought, I decided to stay in the south and see the opportunity."
"Brother Lu, what's worried?" Qin Quan hurriedly asked.
Lu Yuan walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely:
"The frequent changes of political power in the north are all due to the emphasis on military force over literature, and the power of military generals is too great, and it is easy to overthrow the previous dynasty, and the emperors are all military generals.
In this way, of course, there may be a regime that unifies the whole country, but after reunification, the emperor knows best the disadvantages of excessive power of military generals, and in order to stabilize the imperial power, it will inevitably weaken the status of the military people, and after a few generations, the government will be all controlled by literati, the country will lose its blood, and its combat power will inevitably become weaker, and it is very likely that there will be a humiliating dynasty that seeks perfection and is oppressed by foreign peoples. ”
He is pushing the process from the results, and it is very relaxed, but listening to the ears of the Qin brothers and sisters, it is like an enlightenment, deafening.
Qin Quan has always thought highly of himself, but Lu Yuan never thought about what he said, he suddenly stood up and walked around the bamboo house, thinking about Lu Yuan's words.
Qin Youyu lit the water with his hand and scratched something on the table, Lu Yuan didn't bother them, and continued to look at the sky with his hands, pretending to be a master.
After a long time, Qin Quan sat down again and asked:
"Brother Lu, so do you think it's better for the southern regime to unify the country?"
"It's a pity that none of the regimes in the south have the ability to unify the country." Lu Yuan shook his head.
"So you want to be self-reliant?" Qin Quan's eyes lit up.
"It's not easy to stand on your own, I just want to see the opportunity to move, if there is a regime in the north that is not formed by the usurpation of the throne by the warriors, I will definitely give up everything and go to work."
He added in his heart: "It's a pity that this is impossible, in the future, Guo Wei usurped the Later Han Dynasty by force, established the Later Zhou, Zhao Kuangyin mutiny, usurped the Later Zhou, established the Song Dynasty, and then released the military power with a glass of wine, weakened the status of the warriors, and the Central Plains Dynasty began to decline from then on." ”
This is history for him, and it is something he does not want to see.
Qin Quan bowed and said, "Brother Lu, if you can promise me a condition, I am willing to serve under your account." ”
"What conditions, you say."
"If you can give me 10,000 soldiers and horses to lead, I will be under your account."
10,000 soldiers? Then unless you do it yourself, that is to say, you have the ability to stand on your own, Qin Quan's meaning is very obvious, Lu Yuan was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Okay." ”
"And it's within three years, and if the three years expire, I still have to go to the north." Qin Quan added.
Seeing that he was willing to stay for two more years, Lu Yuan was very satisfied, and said in a condensed voice: "Yes!" ”
"Although I am a woman, I am also a trustworthy person, Brother Lu, I also made an agreement with you, if you can make me a female general, I will marry you, how about it?" Qin Youyu, who had been silent, also spoke.
Hearing this agreement, Lu Yuan was stunned, and Qin Youyu tilted his head and said, "Don't you want to?" I thought you liked me. ”
Damn, how can ancient women be so narcissistic, Lu Yuan really wants to show the pride of modern people and reject her! It's a pity
The beating heart in his chest betrayed him.
"It's a deal." Lu Yuan tilted his head to the side.
"I'm going to read a book." Qin Youyu's cheeks were slightly red, although she was downright and generous, but after all, she was a woman, and she was also slightly ashamed at this time.
Lu Yuan's mood was a little agitated at this time, so he said goodbye to Qin Quan and left.
He had no good impression of the Song Dynasty, although the country was rich, but it was based on taxes several times that of the Tang Dynasty, and the common people did not live well.
This dynasty emphasized literature over military force, encouraged martial artists to abandon military and follow literature, exempted literati from paying taxes, did not allow Xu officials to participate in the imperial examination, and paid tribute to Da Liao and even Western Xia in exchange for Gou An, which made him very disliked.
He didn't have the ability to do it, so he could only find a way to survive, and now he is gradually sitting on the county order, if there is a real chance to prevent the formation of the Song Dynasty in the future, he feels that he will definitely do it.
Back in the courtyard, he was about to go to the second hall, when he suddenly heard Lu Yutong ask: "Brother, will you not want me after you marry a wife?" She is not afraid of anything, she is afraid that Lu Yuan will not want herself.
"I said that no matter what happens in the future, I will not want you, and asking this kind of thing again will slap your little ass!"
Lu Yutong grinned and ran back to the room quickly.
When he returned to the study, he saw that Zhanyuan, Qin Li and Wang Yu were all waiting for him in the study, Lu Yuan sat down on the Taishi chair and asked Wang Yu: "Wang Yuanwai, is there something wrong with me?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want to tell the county magistrate that our funds are ready, and the buyer is also found." The implication is that only Lu Yuan is left to suppress the bandits.
"Don't worry, I'll do it in just a few days."
"That's good, then the three of us will take their leave."
Lu Yuan turned to Qin Li and the others again: "What is the matter with you?" ”
Zhan Yuan didn't speak, it seemed that he was waiting for Qin Li to speak first.
If it was usual, seeing Zhan Yuan giving face like this, Qin Li would definitely be extremely proud, but now that he was doing a bad errand, where did he get up proudly, and snorted: "My lord, your book has been robbed." ”
Lu Yuan was a little confused for a while, and asked, "My book?" ”
"It's your furniture and books in Ningguo County, after you take office, I will ask someone to bring a message and ask them to send the books and furniture." Qin Li snorted.
Lu Yuan then remembered that there was still such a thing, Qin Li didn't mention it, he forgot it, the county government has no shortage of furniture, and he doesn't like to read, and it's nothing if he loses his book, but it can be seen that bandits are indeed rampant.
"Zhan Zhutou, how is the case of Ding Wei and Tian Yu over there?" Lu Yuan asked.
"I was about to tell my lord, and a total of thirteen major cases of Ding Wei were investigated, countless small cases, five major cases and more than a dozen small cases. Tian Yu has been arrested, Ding Wei heard that he was killed in another county, and his subordinates are sending people to recover the body. ”
Dinway is actually dead.
"How did he die?" Lu Yuan asked.
"It was killed by the people of the green forest hired by him, it should be for the sake of money."
"It's self-inflicted." Lu Yuan sighed: "You have done a good job in this matter, immediately announce it in the whole county, and make sure that everyone knows about Ding Wei and Tian Yu's crimes!" ”
Zhanyuan nodded yes, but did not retreat.
"Anything else?"
"Your Excellency, Leif is dead, too!" Zhan Yuan said in a deep voice.
