On the third day of August in the ninth year of Xianchu, the autumn harvest was imminent, but Huang Banxian still taught literacy and writing to the soldiers of each battalion every day. Some people were tired of it, and told Li Xiaofei about these situations to Xiaoyu, and Li Xiaofei rushed to the barracks and pulled Huang Banxian aside to say something, and then gave up.

In the past few months, the soldiers and civilians of Shou County have been busy weeding, fertilizing, digging wells and connecting ditches, and most of the land outside Shou County has been opened up and planted. Except for Murong Ling, who didn't need to participate in Tuntian, the rest of the people were busy.

Seeing that the rice and corn were about to be harvested, a messenger came from Jinling City and issued an edict asking all the soldiers and civilians of the Liang State to recite the new "Three Outlines and Five Permanent Righteous Books" of the imperial court. So Huang Banxian and the teaching gentlemen in the city were happy, and now they could have a place to write again.

In the first few days, just to let you soldiers and civilians be familiar with the content of the "Three Outlines and Five Constants of the Great Book of Righteousness", Huang Banxian explained it through, and a three-year-old child in Shou County can recite seven or eight points. Seeing that the soldiers and civilians could memorize it, Li Xiaofei led everyone to harvest and dry rice and corn and reserve straw.

On August 13, the imperial court sent an envoy to bring the "Three Outlines and Five Constants New Note", which was so gorgeous that even Huang Banxian did not know many words. The imperial court envoy Shen Li Xiaofei was insincere and ineffective in educating the locality, and ordered Li Xiaofei to take the lead in reciting the "Three Outlines and Five Permanent Notes", Li Xiaofei had to take the lead in reciting the "Three Outlines and Five Constant Notes", Li Xiaofei had to take everyone to endorse every day, this time even Huang Banxian sat down with everyone, and Hongrui taught everyone one by one.

After five days, no one could recite three sentences, Li Xiaofei just wanted to throw the book away and threshing the grain, but the king's fate was difficult to disobey, so he had to endure his headache and continue to recite a sentence of the book he didn't understand. Everyone sighed, some cried, and some fainted. Li Xiaofei heard that some households' rice had not yet been harvested, so he led everyone to light torches to harvest the grain in the middle of the night, making it snoring when he endorsed the book during the day.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the ninth month, and the imperial court came again, Li Xiaofei wanted to draw a knife and kill people, but was persuaded by Murong Ling and Hongrui, but the will brought by the envoy this time was to stop endorsing, and all states, counties and counties only needed to play the details of the "Three Outlines and Five Permanent Notes" recited by the military and civilians of the imperial court. Li Xiaofei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and politely poured water and sent gold leaves to the envoy, but the envoy had a sad face.

Li Xiaofei saw that the envoy's face was displeased, and he thought that the gold leaves were missing: "Don't be surprised by the envoy, you are too poor in Xia, only the gold leaves rewarded by the king of Han, and then give gifts to the adults after the autumn harvest."

The envoy hurriedly waved his hand: "What did Lord Li say, this official is an honest official, how can he be a person who covets your family's property, this official is now worried about the country and the people, Lord Li, don't you know?" The people of Xuzhou rebelled because they refused to recite the "Three Outlines and Five Permanent Notes", and heard that many counties and counties in the Jiangling area also rebelled, so the imperial court issued an order to stop. ”

Li Xiaofei exclaimed: "Ah, I see, then in this case, the imperial court will send troops to quell the rebellion again, and the world will not be peaceful again."

The envoy smiled at this time: "The imperial court disposes of the people in the country, and the education is the mainstay, where there are soldiers and horses, you can recruit peace." At present, several important ministers of the imperial court are already discussing the Northern Expedition. Lord Li still has to care more about the affairs of the court, otherwise he won't be able to keep up with the general trend, and this official is not easy to do."

Li Xiaofei secretly thought in his heart that the people had rebelled, but the imperial court wanted to go on a northern expedition, could it be that the people who rebelled in Zhao'an went to the north to die? Thinking about these things in his heart, he hurriedly responded to the envoy: "My lord's reminder is very much, and the lower officials will definitely pay attention to it in the future." No, from now on, prepare for the imperial court's Northern Expedition"

The envoy laughed: "It seems that Lord Li really doesn't pay attention to the world's major affairs, only cares about farming, and now there is also a rebellion in the north, all because the Qinghe Cui clan forcibly wants to collect the hearts of the people in the north for their own use, so that the people in the north and even the herdsmen of the Fire Dragon Clan come to recite the "Hongsheng Dao Law Sutra" they made, this scripture is nothing more than an allusion to the Cui clan obeying the mandate of heaven The ninth and third princes should have been emperors a long time ago." But those who don't know the words of farming, grazing, and hunting, how can they understand this obscure scripture. Cui's strong demand for recitation, those who can't memorize it will be punished with a rod, and those who don't memorize it will be executed. As a result, the people who were close to Mobei were forced to rebel. ”

Li Xiaofei was very surprised, this envoy said that others were the first to go, and he came to Shou County three times to announce the decree was not much better than the north, and now he can still talk about the Cui family in the north with righteous words, no wonder they can be big officials.

Li Xiaofei echoed the envoy again: "My lord is far-sighted, it seems that the imperial court wants us to send troops to the north while we have no time to take care of ourselves."

The envoy smiled: "Exactly, this time Lord Li can also be a hero." However, several adults in the imperial court have different opinions, and the general Wang Xian has not yet sent a letter, I am afraid that it will be delayed until next year."

Li Xiaofei nodded: "The lords of the court naturally have to plan carefully, and I will do my best to prepare grain and grass as a subordinate", thinking that the battle in the north would have been completed by waiting until next year, and then there would be no time to send troops, I was afraid that it would be indecided.

The envoy got up and stuffed the golden leaf into his arms: "Lord Li, you have to walk around more with the adults in Jinling City, otherwise you won't be able to stay long in Shou County." When I came, someone accused Lord Li of abusing people's power, but Lord Xiao settled it."

Li Xiaofei followed the messenger and sent the messenger out, looking at the messenger's distant back and shaking his head. Murong Ling patted him on the shoulder: "Drink"

Li Xiaofei turned around: "Yes, drink"

The two were about to find Xiang Xiaoyu Meng Crow to drink, and someone came to report that the envoy of King Han and General Chen had arrived.

Li Xiaofei hurriedly ran to greet him, and the messenger was none other than Shen De. Shen De was still carrying his big knife of dozens of catties, a chain mail and a red cloak was very powerful, followed by thirty heavily armored cavalrymen.

As soon as Shen De saw Li Xiaofei coming over, he jumped down from his horse and picked him up and spun around twice: "Good boy, hiding in the city and accompanying his wife every day, did you forget about us people?" ”

Li Xiaofei laughed: "Where to speak, I am thinking about Master and General Chen all the time. ”

Shen De put Li Xiaofei down: "Yes, yes, yes, I still have to test how your kid's martial arts are doing?" As he spoke, he thrust the big knife into the soil: "Come, try to pull it out now."

Li Xiaofei held the handle of the knife with both hands, exerted all his strength, and the big knife did not move at all. Shen De patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder: "It seems that you kid has been lazy in the past few months, when can you pull out my knife, General Chen and I are waiting." Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, what is lacking is a good player who can charge into battle."

Li Xiaofei let go of the handle of the knife and pointed at Murong Ling: "Master, he will definitely be able to pull it out, you have also seen his martial arts, and he can fight with General Chen."

Shen De looked at Murong Ling next to him: "General Chen also kept Mr. Murong that day, but this Mr. Murong refused."

Murong Ling pointed at Li Xiaofei: "I said, go with him"

Shen De laughed: "You kid, your ability is greater than General Chen, this Mr. Murong will identify you, there must be something strange in it."
