Verses 669 & 670 "Punish the tyrant, kill the demon queen!" … Royal Driver's Expedition
The ministers listened to the emperor's "Linjiang Immortal", although they felt that the rhetoric was not very beautiful, but it was very suitable for the occasion, and the heroic spirit was really like the autumn breeze of the river, and it came mightily.
The so-called word in the painting first, the intention is in the text first, this "Linjiang Immortal" is ambitious, the cliff bank is ten thousand searches, like the iron bow and golden horse, full of pioneering spirit, for the world first resolute heart.
This is the gift of heroes, although thousands of people have gone to me, the realm is better than Wei Wu's "Watching the Sea"!
The heart of the Son of Heaven is as solid as a rock.
That is not only the will of swallowing the world, but also the spirit of the eternal revolution.
Wen Tianxiang and Zheng Sixiao and other literati were throbbing in their hearts, and Wen Tianxiang arched his hand and said: "It's a 'river surging, stone heart will never change'!" Your Majesty's way is not lonely, and the ministers swear to go with Your Majesty! ”
Zheng Sixiao said: "I am willing to borrow the great talents of our emperor to stir up the wind and clouds, wash the hearts of the people, and make this filthy world look new!" ”
Lin Biju said loudly: "What Your Majesty wants, what your ministers want!" ”
The ministers saluted one after another, and made their intentions clear, so as not to fall behind.
The river is surging like a swallow, and the green mountains and the remnants of the sun are picturesque. The river breeze blew Li Luo's clothes fluttering, and the sunset shone on his pine-like figure, like a stone sculpture towering on the riverbank. He stroked the hilt of his sword, looked back at his ministers, squinted his eyes, and said:
"White clouds and dogs, heroes are tired, prosperity is gone, and the prosperity is no more! Zhuqing, my Huaxia Shenzhou, just like this river goes west, the majestic wind is strong, and the twilight is gloomy! As a result, a large country has the disaster of destroying the country, and is in danger of being wiped out several times. Now, the Tang Dynasty has unified the southern country, but how can you know that there will be no more days when the country will be enslaved? ”
"Zhuqing? Only to rise up and make a revolution? Change customs and practice the nirvana of the phoenix? The transmutation of the cocoon into a butterfly? In order to stir up the wind and thunder in Kyushu and make Huaxia look like a new look? Be a tiger boy again, the rising sun! ”
"Gentlemen!" Li Luo's voice was raised in vain? "Unsuccessful? There is a long way to go, and it is not yet time for hip growth! This Xiongguan Mandao, we and other monarchs and ministers can only overcome obstacles and be the first in the world! I hope that the princes and I will encourage together: the monarch and the minister are of the same heart? Help the world and the people! ”
Ministers bow down together? Said loudly: "The monarch and the minister are of one heart to help the world and the people!" ”
Li Luo drew his sword and pointed at the sky, "Restore the Central Plains and recreate the prosperous world!" ”
In the sound of "Qiang Qiang", the ministers each pulled out the Tang sword and Han sword at their waists? Let's point to the sky and shout: "Restore the Central Plains and recreate the prosperous world!" ”
A sonorous and powerful shout overwhelmed the river? Many people burst into tears. Cui Xiuning on the side was also fluctuating. She knows very well that Li Luo is not acting? He is really "a stone heart that never changes".
"Good! Hurry! "Li Luo returned the sword into the sheath, and heard the faint sound of the bell? He opened his mouth again and said, "The flowers by the river are like the fragrance of wine? The autumn grass is setting on the mo. Where is the evening bell in the temple? Zen sound crosses the north night and night. ”
Mu Wei praised: "Your Majesty is a good poem." The metaphor is not pronounced, but the meaning is twofold, which is wonderful. ”
Wen Tianxiang and the others nodded yes. Although this song is not as lofty and majestic as the previous "Linjiang Immortal", it can be quiet and tactful, containing a duality, and the purpose is difficult to understand, which is a masterpiece. (Sorry)
Si Lu Langzhong immediately wrote down Li Luo's poems and what he said to his ministers.
These are all to be recorded in "Hongwu Political Dignitaries".
Seeing that it was getting late, the ministers asked the emperor to return to the palace. Li Luo and Cui Xiuning drove back to the palace.
"Let's go—"
"Shift—"
"Woo-woo-woo-"
In the sound of the horn, the brigade of men and horses played a guard of honor on the mighty return journey, even if it was just a few miles, they had to guard the road, be heavily guarded, and the guards and ministers obeyed layer by layer.
After all, the safety of the Son of Heaven is at stake, and there must be no sloppiness. The Praetorian Guard Division, the Guard Department, the Military Police Division, the Police Hall, the Special Investigation Bureau, the Internal Government, etc., cooperate and intersect, and the protection is not leaky.
On the top of a green mountain a few miles away, a figure watched the imperial driving procession of the Tang Emperor returning to the city from afar, and disappeared in place with a cold snort.
…………
Xujiaji, which is more than ten miles away from Jiangling City, is still as lively as before, and even seems to be a little more lively than before.
A young man in the shape of a woodcutter walked through the cramped bazaar, his eyes twinkling around the shops in the bazaar, his face gloomy.
This bazaar originally belonged to his Dong family!
But now, it has been nationalized by the Tang Dynasty!
How can this be reasonable, how can this be justified, how can there be this reason!
The young man lowered the brim of his hat so that the smug grass people would not recognize him and embarrass him.
He hurried through the bazaar to a large field of farmland, and saw the late rice being harvested in the farmland, and two flutes on his cheeks.
These fertile fields were originally his Dong family's manor. In these ten miles and eight villages, tens of thousands of acres of land are all his Dong's!
Now it has been distributed by the tyrant to the tenants of the Dong family!
He couldn't wait to rush into the field, strangle these farmers who happily harvested the crops, and strangle these former Dong family field slaves.
This is my food! It's mine!
There was a raging anger burning in his heart, and the monstrous hatred was about to explode in his chest, and the pain was like suffocation.
Whew-
He tried to calm his frustration that he was about to vomit blood, kicked the stones in the road, and came to a huge mansion.
The Dong family used to be a wealthy family in Huguang and a big family in Jiangling, and of course this house was built very magnificently, with high walls and deep moats, almost a dock fort.
"Lang Jun." When the gatekeeper saw the young man, he opened the door respectfully.
Although the Tang court did not allow the nation to be slaves, it stipulated that the nation could only be employed, not slaves. But these "liberated" slaves of wealthy families, there are still many people who are unwilling to leave, and still regard themselves as slaves and serve the master's family.
They would rather be slaves than farm.
The young man looked at the deserted mansion and sighed in his heart. Before, there were a cluster of cars and horses in front of the door, and there were a group of slaves inside the door.
But now that it has undergone this great change, it has been blown away by wind and rain, and the Dong family has been rich for a hundred years, and it will never return.
It's all because of tyrants and demon queens!
The young man threw away the woodcutter's coat and hat in disgust, changed into a brocade robe, and then passed through the magnificent Lingtai Pavilion and the Water Pavilion Flower Gallery, and came to a fine house in the garden.
It is said that it is a fine house, but in fact, it covers a large area, more like a pavilion.
In fact, Tang Ting didn't do things perfectly, after all, the Hao clan is also a human being, and they can't be slaughtered at will. As long as they obediently cooperate with the Juntian order and do not resist, they will keep 300 acres of land and will not accept the house. Give them a way to live.
Only those who resist will die and be wiped out.
"Father, my son is back." The young man went unexpectedly and found that there were more than a dozen people inside, including monks, gentry, wealthy merchants, and some righteous men, all of whom were once local figures.
"San Lang, this is the uncle of the Yan family, see it soon." Dong Eun, the head of the Dong family, said. He was once the prefect of the Yuan court and the minister of Xiao Liang. After Xiao Liang died, he forbearably cooperated with Juntian's order and saved his life.
However, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land of the Dong family were seized, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property were confiscated, and he suddenly became a small landowner from a wealthy family, how could he be willing?
"Dong Qi has seen Uncle Yan." Dong Qi said respectfully to another middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body.
He knew that this Yan Ji was also the head of the wealthy family, and he was also Xiao Yan's father-in-law, who was originally Xiao Liang's father-in-law. But this countryman didn't serve for a few months, and Xiao Liang was gone.
"Saburo is exempt." Yan Ji nodded casually, and then looked around at everyone, "Where did you just go?" ”
On one side, the big-eared monk said, "The layman talked about how to dig tunnels. ”
"Oh." Yan Ji nodded, "I won't mention this beforehand." San Lang, Ling Zun said that you personally went to investigate the tyrant's honor guard? ”
Dong Qi said with a smile: "This kind of thing, the little nephew doesn't dare to fake others, for fear of getting out of the basket, it will be amazing." ”
His father, Dong Yan, said: "What do you see? ”
Dong Qi shook his head and said hatefully: "The tyrant is greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as he goes out of the palace, he will definitely hug him from front to back, guard the road, and don't do anything like a white dragon fish suit, and he will be simple and obedient." This will not work if it follows Zhang Liang's strategy of attacking halfway. ”
Yan Ji shook his head, "Hit halfway, don't do it." Even if the tyrant demon queen is light and simple, it is difficult to succeed. ”
Dong Eun sneered: "Hongwu is perverse, people and gods are angry, there are more than 10 million people who want to kill him, and there is nothing to be done about hate." Don't look at the fact that we secretly have a lot of people, all families are involved, but they are just a rabble, how can we kill the tyrant and demon queen? ”
The so-called anti-Tang and Song Dynasty or Liang, and even the forces of the restoration, exist everywhere, and they are just one of them.
The monk said: "Therefore, it is still the safest authentic." Yan Jushi, you said in a suitable way, Xiao Yin secretly dug the tunnel out of the palace and out of the city before, in order to escape for his life, who else knows about this matter? ”
Yan Ji said solemnly: "This secret is still told to the old man by my daughter." Before Xiao Yan set out on the expedition, he once told my daughter that the secret passage in the palace was under the big tree outside the Longzhang Palace. At the entrance of the tunnel, a big tree happened to be planted, which was very hidden. ”
"In times of crisis, if you dig up the soil under the trees, you can find the tunnel. The tunnel leads to Phoenix Mountain outside the city, and the exit is also very secret. ”
Dong Eun frowned: "Then, this tunnel, the people who built it must have known it, maybe the tyrant and the demon queen will know it." ”
"Not really." Yan Ji shook his head, "Xiao Yin used this tunnel to save his life, and the people who built it were all killed. knows, that is, the Xiao family's father and son and a very small number of henchmen. Nowadays, even fewer people know about it. Moreover, my daughter learned that Xiao Yan was defeated and went home from the city a day early, and she didn't use the tunnel to go out of the city, and the tree was not touched. ”
"As long as you sneak in from the tunnel of Phoenix Mountain, sneak under the Longzhang Palace unknowingly, and drill out in the middle of the night, you can kill the tyrant by surprise."
An old man sighed and said: "The foundation of the Tang Dynasty is gradually solidified, the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart, even if the tyrant demon is killed, the prince can also ascend the throne, and it is still difficult for us to turn over." In addition to letting the Tang Dynasty raid the family and exterminate the clan, what is the benefit? ”
Dong Yan snorted, "Brother Liu's words are also false. The tyranny of the Tang State is all produced by tyrants and demon queens, the ministers may not agree, and they are not stupid, who doesn't want to have a lot of manors, wives and concubines, and one party is respected? What do they do? Only willing to be a servant and an official position? I don't believe it! ”
"As long as the tyrant demon is killed, the Tang court will be ruined, and the government will be in chaos. When it comes, I will wait and ask Dayuan Tieqi to ride south. As long as the tyrant demon queen dies, Tang Ting is the edifice will collapse, how difficult is it to destroy! ”
The monk said: "Dong Jushi is reasonable. It's just that although the tunnel is the best policy, it is also necessary to prepare the middle policy. If the tyrant and demon queen are not removed, Buddhism will not flourish. ”
The Tang court respected the Tao and suppressed Buddhism. Even if you do this, but you still confiscate the temple property and abolish the various privileges of the temple, it is really blasphemy against the Buddha, how can you be the Son of Heaven?
Yan Ji nodded, "I'll have some gold and silver, enough to knock on the door." Those toasts in the south can also gather a little soldiers and horses. Hmph, if the assassination doesn't work, poison it, and if it doesn't work, the palace changes! No matter what method you use, you must punish the tyrant and kill the demon queen! ”
"Not bad!" Dong Eun gritted his teeth, "Tell the dead soldiers below, punish the tyrant, there is gold!" After killing the demon, eat enough! ”
"Good!"
"Punish the tyrant, there is gold. After killing the demon, eat enough. Tell them this! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. They know very well what those so-called dead men are, and they are all people who dare to sacrifice their lives for money, wealth, and wealth.
Of course, such people are also easy to use!
There are many forces that want to kill the tyrant and the demon queen, and each has its own plans, so it depends on who gets it first.
Dong Eun said: "The remnants of the White Lotus Sect are loyal to Xiao Liang and also want to kill Li Luo. The other party wants to talk to us. There are also people from the Salt Gang and the Grain Gang, and their power is not small. The so-called snake without a head is not good, we still have to twist it into a rope as soon as possible before we can do great things. ”
Dong Qi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "My spy in the city, the detective is hard and dissatisfied with the tyrant. She once told people that she was originally a princess of light, but she only made the Phoenix Township. It is said that there may be some forces that have taken refuge in her. ”
Dong Eun said: "Can this woman still enter the palace often?" ”
Dong Qi nodded affirmatively: "Yes." ”
"Good. You can go to temptation, and this woman is also your acquaintance. If she can win over, she will be of great use. ”
"Yes, Father."
More than a dozen people deliberated for half a year before leaving in batches.
…………
In the Fenghuang Township Mansion, hard work is practicing archery. She seems to have a special penchant for bows and arrows.
This Hou Mansion is actually the Bright Princess Mansion before her, and the servants in it are also the ones before.
"Whoosh!" The arrow hit the bull's-eye, and immediately won a round of applause.
"Good archery master!" The maids and servants shouted. Toil is not a princess now, they can only call the master.
Hard work is not happy about the applause, "Eight buckets with a light bow, a target of ten steps, isn't it a waste to miss the shot?" What to boast about! ”
Suddenly the crowd was silent.
After struggling to sweep everyone, the red face became gloomy, "Hmph, do you think that the old lady is not a princess, and has become a Laoshizi township, and your slavery does not count, what kind of nationality has you become, so you dare to show the old lady's face?" ”
The crowd did not dare to say anything. They are really depressed, how the master has always had inexplicable seizures lately.
Hard sneered: "According to the current law, you are indeed not the slaves of the old lady, well, what kind of servant have you changed." But don't forget, you servants, this palace... Whoever you want to die, you can't live if you are a nation. ”
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand in annoyance for everyone to stand back.
Soon, the hard words reached the ears of the shopkeeper of a cloth shop in the city.
"That's what your master said?" The shopkeeper asked a subordinate of the township mansion. This person is his distant relative, and it just so happens that this relationship allows him to inquire about his hard work.
The subordinate nodded, "Uncle Cousin, it's true, the master has been getting angry a lot lately, and he is in a very bad mood." This is not the first time I have said this year. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and gave him a silver dollar, "Okay, let's go back quickly." ”
When the man left, the shopkeeper murmured: "It seems that the hard work is indeed dissatisfied with Tang Ting, isn't this just resentment?" Also, she is not what she used to be, and she has no power, how can she be willing? ”
In the Fenghuang Township Mansion, after the hard work of archery, she became a lady again and began to write.
Her handwriting is not very good, and the poem is also written strangely: "The straw snake in the water, the cold moon is like fire." The lights are not extinguished when people die, and there are more than two spring insects. ”
This poem is not poetry at all, there is no poetry at all, it is obscure, I don't know what it means, and it is very similar to her treacherous character.
At this time, the door curtain moved, and a maid entered the study, looked at the master's words, and quietly did not speak.
When she didn't want to write anymore, the maid said, "Master." He went out again, and came back a quarter of an hour later. He went to Dongqiao Silk Village. ”
"Got it." Hard nodded, "You go down." ”
"No." The maid stepped back.
Putting down the pen hard, looking at the ink on his hand, he frowned and sighed, "It's really annoying to be able to get ink on every word you write." ”
After thinking about it, he put pen to paper and wrote: "There are big trees in the east mountain, and there are good nails in the west market." I like to go to the east mountain, and I smile to the west market. ”
After writing it, I couldn't help but laugh. A scorpion crawled out of her pouch and down the placket of her coat to her shoulder, where it was caught by a small pink hand with a callus of arrows.
"It's annoying." The scorpion was immediately put into the bag by the little hand.

On November 30, Liu Tuo, the acting governor of the ocean-going fleet, said:
"On behalf of the governor of the ocean-going fleet, I would like to play to His Majesty the Emperor: On October 20 of the first year of Hongwu, the minister raised 20,000 sailors to escort Zheng He south, and arrived in Luzon on the fifth day of the first month of this month, and confronted the Hai Song sailors, but he did not dare to provoke."
"On the seventh day of the first month of this month, Zheng He's fleet toured eastward, and the minister escorted Baili Nai to the west. Your Majesty, now there are tens of thousands of sailors waiting to go, and the day can be ......"
Li Luolan played, issued an edict to the crown prince to supervise the country, the queen as the regent, and the Taiwei Wen Tianxiang as the governor of the internal and external military, envoys, and prepared for the Mengyuan and Hai Song Dynasty. He drove his own expedition to defeat the garrison army, claiming revenge for Japan.
On the same day, the edict was issued:
"The province of Dongying of the Yuan Dynasty, the land of the Chinese exiles, the overseas domain of the Central Plains, and the Yanhuang branch of the Yuan. Now five years have been covered in the dust, and millions of people with the same literature are all slaves, cows and horses, wailing all over the island, half the sea is fishy, all kinds of misery, miserable, I can't bear to hear it......"
“… Today, I personally unified the army of 200,000 people, rescued the Chinese lineage, expelled the bearded Yidi, avenged the enslavement, and relieved the pain of the country. Wherever the king goes, he will eat the pot pulp and enthusiastically move in front of the horse. When the day comes, I will cry with joy and look forward to it..."
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Li Luo didn't plan to celebrate the New Year in Jiangling, so he took the flagship of Han Shao's Yangtze River Naval Division and left Jiangling.
Cui Xiuning led the prince's ministers to see him off.
On the twelfth day of the lunar month, the dragon boat of the Son of Heaven arrived at the camp in Songjiang. As soon as the emperor arrived, the officers and soldiers of the land and water immediately fired a salute to greet them, and the generals of the land and water were dressed neatly to welcome the Son of Heaven.
As soon as Li Luo, who was wearing a black fox and wearing a black armor, appeared, the soldiers bowed down like a tsunami.
"Your Majesty Jin An! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! "At this time, the weather is cold, and tens of thousands of people shout together, and the water vapor sprayed out is like white mist.
More than 10,000 war horses also snorted, snorting white air in the cold wind.
Li Luo stood up the bow of the boat, waved his hand in the cold wind, and said, "Flat!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The sound was earth-shattering, and it was dry in the sky.
Li Luo looked at the energetic, wolf-like soldiers of the Tang Army, and felt extremely down-to-earth and safe in his heart.
"Welcome to the camp!" The generals lined up on both sides and surrounded Li Luo into the Chinese army camp on the shore.
In fact, the food and grass materials for the Japanese army have long been prepared. If it weren't for the purpose of escorting Zheng He's eastern tour, he would have been on a journey long ago.
"Your Majesty, 20,000 sailors, 80,000 land divisions, and 100,000 troops are all ready, please give orders to Your Majesty!" Liu Tuo, the governor of the water division, bowed down.
"Your Majesty, please decree!" Lu Shi generals Xiao Bei, Wu Yan, Zhang Yong, Yelu Zhongjie, Shi Mo Huaide, Liu Weitai, Yan Ying and others bowed down one after another.
"Order, trim for two days, and set off on the fifteenth day of the lunar month!" Li Luo ordered.
"Yes!" The generals shouted thunderously.
As soon as Li Luo entered the military tent, the information from the Special Investigation Bureau was delivered.
Intelligence said that the main force of the Japanese army was still in the Kanto region, and there were only 20,000 troops on Tsukushi Island, almost all of which were Han and Goryeo armies, and only 1,000 Mongol cavalry.
And the sailors stationed in the Japanese army were swept by the sailors of the Tang army many times, and there were no more boats. I can only keep in touch with Goryeo.
However, the strength of the Han army stationed in Japan was not weak, but the soldiers and horses of the Zhang family and the Wang family of the Han army in the north, and they were once Kublai Khan's bodyguards.
The most elite is still 10,000 Mongolian cavalry in the Kwantung Plain, and the commander of 10,000 households is still Li Luo's old subordinate: Zheza!
The intelligence also specifically mentions the situation with regard to the cavalry Mando Zheza.
"Hehe, Zheza. You once said that I will always be your general, so what about this time? ”
Li Luo was very playful to himself.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, after the two cannon shots, 100,000 land and water troops boarded the ship together and set sail north.
This matter has already alarmed the Yuan Court!
