Yangzhou City really deserves to be the world's first fireworks 'flower' place, although it is a clean street travel at the moment, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers around the tense guard, but through the streets, houses, shops around, the prosperous scene on weekdays, can still be glimpsed.

Lin Feng's temporary palace was arranged in a 'flower' garden mansion in the east of the city, originally Lin Feng thought that it was probably about the appearance of a 'flower' garden villa in the city, but when he walked to the ground, he was greatly surprised when he caught a glimpse of the long vermilion 'color' wall. The walls of this mansion are high and deep, and the momentum is extraordinary, and when you walk inside, the courtyards are one after another, the winding paths are secluded, the style is elegant, and the corridors that connect the places are full of water, and it seems that there is no end to the entrance of the big 'gate' all the way in.

Although Lin Feng himself didn't really care what house he lived in, it was really a little unexpected in this mansion, you must know that at this scale, his own palace seemed to be only at this level.

After detouring around the main house for a long time, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask Niu Qianyu, who was holding the street, "This ...... Calf...... I said, whose house the hell does it belong to?! ”

Niu Qianyu's eyelids jumped, to be honest, he is forty-five this year, and he is really not young, this "calf" screamed that he had 'chicken' skin bumps all over his body. However, in this case, there must be no way to raise objections to the title, so he wiped a cold sweat and replied cautiously: "Long live Hui, this mansion is the mansion of the original Qing Jianghuai Salt Road in Yangzhou, and he is the one who specializes in the 'door' salt business...... This one...... So...... This ......"

"Oh!! ——" Lin Feng let out a long "oh" and nodded, although he was not very clear about this aspect, but in the end, he had been through it for so long, everyone said that the salt merchant was rich, and it seemed that he was really rich, he turned his head to look at the furnishings everywhere, grabbed a small bottle on the antique shelf, threw it up and down, and said with a smile, "It seems that this official is really rich-what about others?" Where are you now?!! ”

"Long live the return! , This official is a person with the Yellow Flag, this time the heavenly soldiers went south, he tried to escape, but in the end he was unsuccessful, and was caught by the green battalion soldiers anyway, in the middle of last month, his whole family of 22 people of all ages was pulled to the West 'Gate' Street to behead him!! ”

"Bang!" With a bang, the small bottle fell to the ground and shattered, Lin Feng was taken aback, and lost his voice, "That's it...... Killed?! ”

"yes!" Niu Qianyu was surprised by Lin Feng's attitude, and said in amazement: "Could it be ......" He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great effort, and said cautiously, "...... I heard that this is the ...... of the imperial court That charter ......"

"What charter?! Says who? Did I say that?! Lin Feng scratched his head and said suspiciously, "I seem to have issued a holy decree, saying: 'All enemies who resist stubbornly will be annihilated', but I didn't say that you should kill anyone you see!" ”

The look on Niu Qianyu's face was very strange, and he smiled curtly, "Maybe it'...... It was I who misunderstood the holy will and messed up the errand...... Please also ask the emperor to calm his anger!! ”

"Anger?! What kind of anger?! Lin Feng waved his hand casually, "It's just a matter of killing a few Tartars, what's there to be angry about?!" He lifted the hem of his dragon robe, sat down, and said casually, "So, it seems that the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners of the Jiangnan generation must have been killed a lot?!" ”

Niu Qianyu was silent, this matter is just Lin Feng is not clear, but he is in his heart, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Han Empire went south, the momentum shook the sky, all parts of the south of the Yangtze River looked at the wind, with the battle of Nanjing, a wave of slaughter frenzy was set off everywhere, under such a momentum, the surrender bureaucrats everywhere, the local puppet soldiers were frightened, but I was afraid that they thought it was a "hardcore man" traitor", and immediately waved the butcher knife at the flag man when he turned his headDon't let one go.

From May this year until now, Jiangxi, Hubei, Jiangsu, and other provinces and localities have been vigorously and resolutely, or beheading on the spot, or driving the cage into the Shenjiang River, or burning the whole family, or burying them alive collectively, in less than two months, nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners in the three provinces, regardless of the good and the bad, have almost all been slaughtered--Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty would not know about such a big thing?!

The truth of the matter is that the soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners in Jiangnan have not been killed a lot, but there are no survivors.

But looking at the emperor's attitude now, I am afraid that this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly.

Lin Feng groaned slightly, covered up his words, and looked up at everyone in the hall. At this time, most of the people accompanying Niu Qianyu were big landowners and big businessmen from all over the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, this time to welcome the emperor's southern tour, these people have been preparing for a long time, and even made a bloody investment as early as a year ago.

I remember that time, when the Han Crown Prince Lin Xuan was full of moon, it was the group of people in front of him who organized a sensational fleet throughout the country, loaded with all kinds of materials to make a pilgrimage to Beijing, and used their incomparable economic strength to swear allegiance to the new emperor of China.

"Come, come, come, you're not outsiders anymore!" Lin Feng turned his head to the side and bowed, "The big guys all sit down, sit down and talk, today I came to Yangzhou, and it is rare to have the opportunity to put down the etiquette and talk to Zhuqing, this time everyone will have fun, and if there is anything to say, it will be mentioned directly to me!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

"Your Majesty is magnanimous and benevolent, and the grass people feel 'excited' and tears ......"

"Long live the love of self-emptiness, and the ministers are terrified and have no land......"

Everyone humbly apologized, and after a while, they gradually sat down sideways according to their status, but fortunately, this hall was very spacious, almost comparable to the court hall of the inner court, so many people sat down, and it was not necessarily crowded.

Wang Shirong and Li Ergou stood behind Lin Feng on the left and on the right. Niu Qianyu glanced at the head over there, trying to 'communicate' with Wang Shirong, but at a glance, he saw that the other party was expressionless, and there was no hint at all, and he became more and more nervous in his heart, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Originally, according to his plan, this time he was going to coax the emperor to be happy, strike while the iron was hot, and immediately ask for a holy decree and the like to determine the scope of the money village south of the Yangtze River and announce it to the world. But at the moment, there are many people, and these words are really not easy to say.

Lin Feng pointed to the small bottle that had just been broken, and asked casually, "What is this thing?" Why are you so unsucked?! ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, and after a while, there was an old thin old man in the crowd who stood up tremblingly, bowed and returned, "Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, this thing is called "Jade" net bottle ", according to legend, it is made to imitate the bottle in the hands of Nanwu Guanyin Master, from the Ru kiln in the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, for hundreds of years of wandering, and now there are two left in the world, one of which I heard that it is treasured by Lord Xu Danyang, Lang Lang, and the other one...... "He 'revealed' an extremely sad expression, and said dejectedly:" ...... Now there is really only one left of the Xu 'waiting' Lang family. ”

Lin Feng looked at the debris all over the ground in disbelief, what a coincidence, he accidentally destroyed the precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation just after entering the 'door', it seems that he is really declining!!

Originally, he thought it was just a bottle of something, and it was flashy, saying that it was a small mouth for tea, and it was a big belly for ink, and it looked dull, and it didn't look like a valuable product.

He rubbed his hands apologetically, "Hey! …… How much is this bottle, I have never taken the people in vain......"

The old man was a little deaf, and interrupted Lin Feng's words in a sullen manner, "Right now, it's the 'chaos', the market price of antiques is not good, according to the current market, it is about 250,000 taels of silver, right?!" ”

"What?!! Two hundred and fifty thousand taels?! ......" Lin Feng exclaimed, waved his hand, and immediately changed his words, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that it's hard for you Aiqing to be filial piety, and I'm very pleased to present such a precious thing to the imperial court!! ”

Turning his head to look at everyone's faces, he nodded calmly, and changed his words, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must remember in the future, I have always been very thrifty, don't send this kind of precious thing in the future, if you have a mind, you might as well take care of the people, do some charity or something, it is much more real than 'getting' these flashy superficial efforts!" ”

"Ministers (grass people), I respectfully obey the holy oracle!!"

Hula, the room suddenly fell to its knees. At this time, everyone was a little nervous, the emperor made a fool of himself in public just now, and I don't know if he will come up with some tricks to get back face.

Niu Qianyu regretted it in his heart, it was really inaccurate information, inaccurate information, he sent capable people in the capital to inquire around, everyone said that today's His Majesty's martial arts are extraordinary, not only can command thousands of troops and horses, but also will say that Shiyun convinces Gu Yanwu such a Confucian master, I heard that he even knows Fanbang characters, and has had a few times in the court in public "drunk grass to scare the barbarian book", which can be described as a British master who has not met for a thousand years.

I wondered myself, I am afraid that it is not possible to use other means to please a character like this, what is the Ming Lord and Holy Monarch?! Have you heard that the Lord loves money and beautiful women? On the other hand, if you love gold, silver and beauty, can you still be called the Holy Monarch?!

The so-called Ming Lord and Holy Monarch, there are no more than two hobbies: one is talent, just like Liu Beicao '', he is happy when he sees talent, and runs out barefoot; as for the second one, it is mostly some kind of antique calligraphy and painting, famous masterpieces and so on. So this time, when he heard that the emperor was lucky in Yangzhou, he immediately held back his strength and mobilized all his people to search around for treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., just to please the emperor to look at him differently.

At present, in this hall, the banners, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls are all valuable and famous handwriting, and the antique shelf behind the screen is all real porcelain such as Tang Sancai, Song Ru kiln, official kiln, Longquan kiln, etc., and even the chairs that everyone sits, which are all specially purchased from Nanjing The royal sandalwood chair of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace, which is said to have been used by Zhu Yuanzhang to entertain heroes.

It's just that he never expected that the emperor in front of him would be talking about what kind of antiques and authentic works, even if it is the traditional Chinese characters of the Eight Classics, he may not be able to know all the characters, and it is a big joke to let him appreciate and play.

Thinking that his fart happened to be on the horse's hooves, and even made the emperor make a big appearance, Niu Qianyu suddenly sweated profusely, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. He secretly glanced at the emperor's face, and saw that Lin Feng's smile was not abnormal at this time, and he was slightly relieved, and leaned forward a little, and said with a smile, "Long live Qiyu, we have a collection of humanities in the south of the Yangtze River, there are ancient and modern people, there are many graceful and romantic characters, the townspeople, and the people of the city, and the generation of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. ”

"This ......" Lin Feng was suddenly stunned, to say that this place in Yangzhou is the first time he has come to this place no matter what era it is, and he is usually not very hot or not too sad, and he loves activities such as traveling donkeys, so he is not very concerned about this aspect, and he really can't say what scenery there is.

He thought for a long time, "...... This one...... This one...... Yangzhou, I only know two places, one is Zen Zhi Temple, I heard that the peony 'medicine' and 'flower' of Yangzhou Cicada Zhi Temple are very famous......;

Halfway through this sentence, he suddenly stopped, and the look on his face seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, that is, it seemed to be longing for memories, and it seemed to be sentimental and inexplicable, and it looked very strange.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, the first place the emperor said, everyone still knows, but what is the second place?! At this moment, everyone thinks about it, but they can't always guess.

After a long silence, Lin Feng suddenly laughed, the laughter became louder and louder, it seemed that even he was about to be unable to contain it, and laughed for a while before he waved his hand and sighed: "Those who abandon me cannot stay yesterday; Those who 'disturb' my heart are troubled today. Life is really unpredictable, the past life and this life, it is really like a big dream!! ”

This time, together with Wang Shirong and Li Ergou, they couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts, the two of them 'exchanged' each other's eyes, and each other's eyes were 'confused', and they couldn't help but think in their hearts, they were all fine just now, why did they suddenly become so sad?!!

Both of them were extremely annoyed in their hearts, and they couldn't help but glared at the Cao Gang leader Niu Qianyu together.

Niu Qianyu was so frightened that he couldn't figure out what happened to him today, could it be that the words he just said offended the emperor again?!!

I only felt that even my back was cold, my back was wet, and my clothes were all soaked with cold sweat...... Your Majesty...... Really knowledgeable...... Famous ...... Line...... Catchy...... he forced himself to calm down, and pointed to the person behind him, "I don't know if Your Majesty is in the capital, but you have ever heard of Mr. Dongtang's reputation?!! ”

"Mr. Todo?!!" Lin Feng was stunned and said, he thought about it, it seems that there is no such guy in the middle school textbook, could it be that he remembered it wrong?! He looked over there with an inquiring gaze and said with a smile, "It seems that I'm still lonely?!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!!" Niu Qianyu smiled bitterly, "Brother Kong, Your Majesty has been summoned, why don't you step forward quickly?!" ”

The man hurriedly quickened his pace, stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, "Shandong Qufu Kong Shang Ren is driving, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ——”

"This ...... Please! Lin Feng felt a little strange, he really couldn't remember which master this benevolent brother was.

Looking up, the person in front of him was about thirty or forty years old, with a pale face, a withered expression, a face full of otaku elephants, a beard under his chin, and the clothes on his body were quite neat, and he could be regarded as a middle-class person.

Niu Qianyu introduced, "This Mr. Kong Shangren, the word Ji Chong, is the sixty-fourth generation grandson of the Confucian sage, young has a scientific name, virtuous township, has also traveled to study in the Quartet, once authored a play "Peach 'Flower' Fan", spread all over the world, there are many popular sentences, in today's world, on the repertoire, there is the South Hong and North Kong! ! ! ”

"Peach 'Flower' Fan" ?!! I've heard of this thing, but I can't remember exactly what it's talking about for a while, but one thing he can be sure of is that this guy has definitely been in middle school textbooks - characters who can go to middle school textbooks are definitely not ordinary people.

immediately greeted enthusiastically, "It turns out that "Peach 'Flower' Fan" was written by you, I have been looking up for a long time!! He pointed to the chair on one side, "Mr. Kong, sit wide!" ”

Seeing Lin Feng's enthusiasm, Niu Qianyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this information is accurate and inaccurate, this time 'getting' antique calligraphy and painting is smashing the pot, but fortunately, there are still talents to recommend, and sure enough, the defeat turned into victory - it seems that to deal with the "wise holy lord" This kind of thing can only use talent strategy, antique calligraphy and painting This trick is not effective, and almost let himself suffer a big loss, now I have to learn a lesson, and go back to write it on the family motto to warn my descendants.

"Ji Zhong is from Shandong, why did he suddenly think of running Yangzhou?!" Lin Feng smiled and looked very enthusiastic.

Before Kong Shangren could speak, Niu Qianyu preemptively replied: "Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, Ji Chong's "Peach 'Flower' Fan" originally told the story of Hou Fangyu, Li Xiangjun and Shi Kefa Shi Lao, this time I heard that the Han Heavenly Soldiers had recovered Yangzhou, so they specially came to return to their hometown, relying on the spirit of the old man in the sky!" ”

I don't know if it's nervous or excited, Kong Shangren seems to be very bad at 'communicating', he talks heavily, and before he speaks, his face turns red, and he doesn't make a sound, just nods again and again.

"Oh! I see!! Lin Feng said, "It turned out to be the story of Shi Kefa!" He held out his thumb and exclaimed, "Well done, well written!" Although Shi Kefa's talent is not necessarily very clever, he is iron-clad and swears not to bow his head, and he can be ranked with Wen Tianxiang in the past, and he is the backbone of my China, which is really respectful!! ”

Kong Shangren was a little embarrassed, he blushed and muttered that he didn't dare to make a sound, in fact, the repertoire of "Peach 'Flower' Fan" mostly tells the love story of Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun Qingqing, the so-called Shi Kefa's martyrdom is just one of the 'episodes' or backgrounds, and the theme of the whole play is also very different from what Lin Feng said.

However, Emperor Chrysostom 'Jade' said, of course, whatever he said was what he said, who dared to say that he was not right?!!

Lin Feng said with a smile, "But then again, the so-called 'dead are gone', we have won today, so there is no need to always immerse ourselves in those past things, I said Ji Chong, can you consider writing something else?!" He patted the table lightly and nodded, "I think in recent years, we have suppressed the Qing Kou internally and rejected the 'Mongolian' ancients externally, and there have been a lot of singing and crying stories, do you think we can also write one or two scripts like "Peach 'Flower' Fan"?!" ”

Kong Shangren's eyes widened, he hadn't thought about this again, and he couldn't help but ask in amazement, "No...... Ignorance...... I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about......"

"To conform to the main theme, in the past, the main contradiction of our Han Empire was the contradiction between the people of the world and the Eight Banners bandits, but now that the Eight Banners bandits have been exterminated in the north, the main contradiction has been transferred elsewhere," Lin Feng wrenched his fingers and counted the same number of ways, "For example, that Ximeng Guzungar is very hateful, invades my territory and kills my people, you can write it......; Even that Spanish country is also extremely vicious, so many years have killed countless of my people who have moved overseas, these guys are the mortal enemies of our Han country, you who write scripts, but you can't always keep your eyes in place, you have to keep up with the footsteps of the imperial court, you have to keep pace with the times!! ”

Kong Shangren seemed to have an understanding, and ate authentically, "Your Majesty means ...... If you want me to write about the ancient offense of Xi 'Meng', or ...... Or a repertoire like a red 'hairy' murder strategy?! ”

"Not really!" Lin Feng said with great interest, "Look, I can give you an idea: for example, you can write a Shanxi girl, but he fell in love with a son from Shaanxi, this Shanxi girl is very beautiful, but unfortunately fell into the dust and did business in Taiyuan Mansion, so this Shaanxi son met when he went to Beijing to take the exam, so he fell in love, and finally, it happened to be in the west. Meng'gu Geldan brazenly invaded the south, Taiyuan was besieged for nine months, the girl was very haggard, day and night hoping that her lover would save her, and at the same time she used her identity to fight against many Han 'traitors' who tried to take refuge in the 'Mongolian' ancients...... Anyway, this one anyway...... In short, in the end, the Han Heavenly Soldiers came, and this Shaanxi prince was filled with indignation and threw his pen into Rong, joined the Han Army and became an officer, and finally defeated Geerdan in Xinzhou, and rescued thousands of Shaanxi fathers and his lovers, so the two lived happily together......"

Lin Feng patted the chair and foamed at the mouth: "Even if you write, if there is anything you want me to help me do, I will not refuse, for example, if you find the prototype, there is no problem with writing what to reward Mrs. Fate, or even the emperor to give marriage or something, I will not refuse to admit it!" ”

The people in the hall were dumbfounded, but Kong Shangren was relished, and while listening to Lin Feng's narration, he exclaimed: "It's really twists and turns, comparable to the legendary notes of the Tang Dynasty, I didn't expect Your Majesty to have this talent...... As soon as the words came out, he immediately knew that he had said something wrong, and his face turned pale with fright.

Lin Feng waved his hand as if nothing happened, "Where, where, in addition to this, you can also write the story of the people of Luzon, for example, there is a girl from Guangdong who is very beautiful, and there is also a son from Guangxi who is very good at learning, and finally the young 'girl' fell into the dust and had to go to Nanyang, and the son of Guangxi happened to go there to do business, so the two met again, and finally the ferocious Spanish red 'Mao' fan appeared, and slaughtered my Han people...... This one...... This Guangxi prince joined the Han Navy in righteous anger, and finally defeated the red 'hairy' ghost, saved thousands of people and this Guangxi girl, and the lovers eventually became dependents......"

Before he finished speaking, a Praetorian Guard officer with the rank of captain on his shoulder suddenly hurriedly pushed the 'door' in, confessed, and leaned over to Liergou and whispered.

Lin Feng suddenly stopped talking, turned his head to look, and Li Ergou reported in a low voice: "Long live Qizuo, the outer guard received an urgent official document from Li Xiangye, a scholar of Beijing Normal University, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhengqing of Honglu Temple, saying that there are two red 'hairy' fans, one is an envoy from Spain, and the other is an envoy from France, asking for a ...... from France."

"Where are they now?!"

"I've entered Yangzhou City at this moment, and I'm waiting for the order in the outer city!"

Lin Feng stood up, suddenly laughed, and said to Kong Shangren, "Say Cao '', then Cao '' is here, these monkeys are really not slow!" ”
