When night falls, the lights are on, the lights and candles of Cuiyun Tower are bright, the light is brilliant, the guests are full, and it is a lively scene.

In the evening, he accompanied him, but he was replaced by Guo Yong, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion. It seems that Wang Song also did what he liked, making everyone talk more openly.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Xun shook his head and said: "This Wang Song is really from a martial artist, and there is not even a courtesan in this wine and feast, which is really boring!"

The scholars of the Song Dynasty devoted themselves to studying the Confucian classics, learning the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and participating in scientific examinations in order to obtain the title of Jinshi and become court officials.

Song courtesans provided singing and dancing performances and persuasion of wine, but they were not allowed to serve pillows privately, and the imperial court also used this to inspect officials. But men and women attract each other, the scholar doctor is talented and romantic, and the courtesan is versatile, gentle and beautiful, and the two sides hit it off. When officials associate with courtesans, in addition to singing and dancing with wine, it is natural for courtesans to sleep.

Since the Song Dynasty, not only scholars and doctors have indulged in flower streets and willow alleys, neglecting government affairs, but even ordinary people are also nostalgic for the tile shop and the fence, up to the scholars, down to the small people in the market, smelting and feasting, buying drunk in green buildings, and the social atmosphere is sluggish.

Liu Yong's "Three Changes in the Burial of Prostitutes", Li Zhiyi and Courtesan Yang Shu's "I Live at the Head of the Yangtze River", Zhao Ji and Li Shishi's "Slender Hands Break New Orange", and Liang Hongyu went from "Courtesan" to "Female General......

Even the famous Su Dongpo is also "Looking back at the beautiful land of Chang'an, thirty years ago, I was handsome." In order to find the old things from the Qinglou, the flower branch is missing the remaining name". named his concubine Chaoyun, "Dan is the morning cloud, and the twilight is the rain", which shows the romance of his youth.

This is also why Cao Xun felt strange and entertained officials, but there was no courtesan to accompany him.

Guo Yong's face was a little embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly:

"The Xuanfu Department issued a decree that officials are not allowed to enter and exit the Goolan tile, and violators will be prosecuted. He also said that singing, dancing and drinking misled the country and hurt the people, causing the people of the Great Song Dynasty to languish and the officials to neglect their administration. All the shingles were removed according to the law, and all the courtesans were either assigned to the priesthood or from the good register. Now, in the land of the two rivers, including the city of Bianliang, there are no courtesans or hook fences!"

Uncle Zhang said in horror at night: "Wang Song is not afraid of the opposition of the merchants and scholars in the city if he does this?"

"Against? It's too late to rejoice, how can anyone object!"

Guo Yong shook his head and said: "The government banned Goolan Tile, and within a few days, inside and outside the city, married vulgar women entered the city one after another, knelt at the gate of the Xuanfu Division, thanked Wang Song, and let their men not fool around outside. It became a big joke in the city. ”

Several people laughed, but they didn't expect Wang Song to be the bosom friend of these married women. Men don't have a place to spend their days drinking and buying drunk, so they naturally have to stay at home, and they can save money, and they can also take care of their children and families, and the harmony between husband and wife has also solved many livelihood problems.

Liu Tao couldn't help asking, "What should I do with these courtesans?"

"The courtesans and dancers have entered the Department of Teaching and Workshop, and have become some normal government officials. Those who dance and play poorly will be given money and food, and they will go home to be good. Wang Song specially prepared a so-called "meeting" for these courtesans, so that the soldiers and courtesans could choose each other, and those who agreed would get married. Those soldiers were vulgar, and the courtesans were helpless, and the two sides hit it off, and countless families were formed in an instant. Therefore, I am afraid that the word courtesan will disappear. ”

A few people were stunned, after this Qinglou bought drunk, I am afraid that there will be no chance.

"These lowly thieves are armed with armies and mud legs, and those courtesans are also willing?"

Cao Xun couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes.

"Cao Gong, you are wrong again!"

Guo Yong shook his head and said: "Now in these two rivers, these soldiers in the army are amazing!" If you pass by the "Lecture Martial Hall" and look at the big characters on it, you will understand. ”

He said contemptuously, "Soldier sacred,

Inviolable! I don't know when these lowly soldiers have been lifted to such a high position, it's really ridiculous!"

He looked at him with disdain, wrenched his fingers and said: "Grant land, build a loyal martyr's shrine, and marry, look at everything Wang Song has done, which one is not extremely arrogant, apostasy, and very different from the law of the ancestors!"

Uncle Zhang's face was solemn, and his voice was full of sorrow.

"Soldiers are sacred and inviolable! It is precisely by virtue of this that Wang Song made his subordinates' more than 100,000 male soldiers happy to die for it. It is because of these words that Wang Song has become so indestructible and intimidating. If the imperial court can ......"

He shook his head, disappointed in his heart, unable to say anything more.

The development of the two rivers is like this, Wang Song has long been no longer in the pool, but the imperial court is mired in a quagmire, and the water is in dire straits. If it goes on like this, where is the way out for the Great Song Dynasty?

"Master Zhang, since the imperial court has already cut the north of Huaishui, why can't it wait to recruit Wang Song? Could it be that the imperial court is partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and is it still afraid that this Wang Song will turn his face? ”

Guo Yong was puzzled. A huge Song Dynasty court, if you have to recruit an Wang Song on the land, what is your intention?

He didn't notice at all that the dissatisfaction with the Great Song Dynasty in his words was inadvertently revealed.

"Brother Guo, you are really outspoken."

Zhang Shuye and Liu Tao glanced at each other, both shaking their heads and smiling bitterly.

"Brother Guo, I'll tell you the truth, the court is having a hard time now. Thieves rise from all over the country, especially the Yang Qi Department of Dongting Lake, cutting off the top and bottom of the river, and if it goes on like this, you say......"

Uncle Zhang didn't finish his words at night, and Guo Yong had already understood.

"The imperial court wants to recruit Wang Song and let him deal with the traitors of Yang in Dongting Lake. In this way, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court also have nothing to do with Yang's troops. ”

"Exactly! In addition to Yang's department, there are also Cao Cheng, Fan Ruwei, pirates in the east, and pseudo-Qi in the north. Tell me, is the court overwhelmed?"

Liu Tao's words shocked Guo Yong's heart. Even thieves can't deal with it, so it seems that the court is already weak.

"Brother Guo, since you are dissatisfied with what Wang Song has done, why do you want to serve under his command?"

Cao Xun couldn't help but say it again.

Guo Yong's face turned red, but he shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"I won't hide it from you, Guo is a native of the Daimyo Mansion, and I can't see my father and fellow villagers suffering. Rather than someone else to be the parent official, it is better for Guo to do it himself, which is also more reassuring. Speaking of which, Wang Song is not in a thousand ways, but he is still dedicated to the people. ”

Guo Yong said it calmly, and everyone admired it in their hearts. In these years, it is not easy to have such an infatuation.

The downstairs was bustling, and several tables of people were very lively, which attracted everyone's attention.

Guo Yong carefully identified it and said:

Some of these young people are students of the "Lecture Martial Arts Hall", and they are all generals in the army. The other part is the students of the "China Administration School", who will be local officials in the future. These people were all followers of Wang Song and were loyal to Wang Song. ”

"These people seem to know each other, and that's why it's so lively."

Zhang Shuye was surprised: "Wang Song is really bold, there are even women here!"

Guo Yong nodded while looking at it and said: "There are 2,800 new students recruited by the "China Administration School", including 98 women, which is Wang Song's initiative. In a few months, these people will be on their way to various places. ”

Everyone was secretly surprised, and looked up together, wanting to hear what these people had to say.

A young man in a military uniform, with a straight figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the words "Lecture on Martial Arts" embroidered on his chest, raised his wine glass

Said: "Brothers and sisters, it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, even if it is outside, it can only be done in moderation. With this cup alone, I wish you all a bright future, a term of office, and a benefit to one party. ”

"Thank you, brothers!"

A round-necked uniform, a handsome white-faced young man raised his wine glass first, followed by all the students in the two academies picked up the wine glasses, touched them together, and then drank them all.

"Brother Sanwa, I heard that you are about to lead troops to the Northland, yes or no?"

The white-faced young man's words made Li Sanwa's face blush slightly, especially in front of several female students of the "China Administration School".

"Brother Li Chao, brother, I don't call Li Sanwa now, I have a new name now, called Li Weiguo, just call me Brother Weiguo in the future."

Several female students of the "Administrative School" are young and beautiful, and they are looking at the majestic Li Weiguo in front of them and the people around him with envious eyes.

Li Chao nodded and said, "Brother Weiguo, junior brother just wants to ask you, is there another war ahead, is what the newspaper said true?"

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "What you said is good. Fanzi has been eyeing the Northland, and the friction with our army has always been constant. In a short time, the wheat in the fields will be harvested, and the Jurchens will definitely come to threshing the grass again. When we lead our troops north, we also have to take precautions, to keep Fanzi out and prevent them from harming the people!"

Zhang Shuye and the others glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be frightened, and they couldn't imagine that the war ahead would start again. If the Jurchens attack the country, I don't know if the loyal and righteous army can withstand it?

"Brother Weiguo, Fanzi is murderous and vicious, are you their opponents?"

A female student of the "Administrative School" asked Zhang Shuye's worries.

The pitiful feeling of the female student immediately aroused the anger in Li Weiguo's chest.

"This student, what you said is not right!"

Li Weiguo straightened his chest and said firmly:

"When did my loyal army be afraid! In the first battle of Fuzhou that year, Wang Xianggong had many arrow wounds and gunshot wounds in his body, and there were 15,000 brothers in my loyal army, and in the end there were only about 600 people left, and they never flinched, and when were they afraid of gold thieves!"

He glanced at the officers around him, pointed to two of them and said, "This is Brother Zhu Sheng, this is Brother Shao Ping, and all three of us participated in the Fuzhou War at that time." You ask the two of them, but is anyone afraid of Fanzi?"

Shao Ping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Although Fanzi rides vertically and horizontally, coming and going like the wind, it can only scare and scare the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. When you come to our loyal army, as long as you shoot him with artillery and guns, discipline him to cry and cry for his mother, and he will not be able to form an army!"

Zhu Sheng's eyes were cold, and he hated: "If Fanzi doesn't come, it's enough, and if he comes, he will let his blood flow like a river." Everyone can rest assured, with the prince and the loyal army, there are not many waves!"

Li Chao said excitedly: "A few days ago, Wang Xianggong asked me and other students where they would like to take up their posts. Brother Weiguo, I have thought about it, so I will go to the northern border, Zhendingfu, Cangzhou, Hezhongfu, anywhere. If the army recovers the land of Youyan, I will go to Yanjing and Xijing!"

Several beautiful female students also showed joy on their faces, and one of them also said aloud: "Wang Xianggong is invincible and invincible, let's wish Brother Weiguo and the generals a victorious victory and a triumphant return."

The students were all emotional, and they didn't know who started, so they stood up together and sang "Man Jianghong":

“…… Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, and he is empty and sad......"

The voice was impassioned and spread far away, causing a crowd of onlookers around him.

Uncle Zhang's face turned pale, and Liu Tao and Cao Xun were also silent. The heavens of these two rivers seem to have changed.
