In the Imperial City Hall, the voice of words continued to come out.

“…… Hetian, a pair of flawless white jade cups, a pair of flawless white jade bowls, a flawless pen wash and an inkstone, and a green jade carved dragon screen...... Tang Dynasty Wu Daozi "Ten Holy Pictures" a ...... A statue of the Golden Jade Guanyin, a golden jade Buddha shrine, a gold leaf and jade handwritten "Ranga Abhatara Sutra", "Diamond Sutra" ......"

As he spoke, a large number of treasures were carried into the temple. When the deputy envoy read out the gift entries, Xu Zerun secretly looked around and the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom above.

As a new force that suddenly rose up and replaced the Liao State, the Jin State was not a profound nobleman, but an upstart who suddenly gained a heavy treasure. However, as the imperial city of Huining, even the shadow of the nouveau riche has not been revealed, it occupies a large area, but the palace wall is actually a wooden structure, most of them are made of willows and elms, the front yard office, the backyard is lived, only this hall seems slightly majestic, but compared to the slight Wu Dynasty Palace, this "palace" here, is just a thatched house.

However, Xu Zerun also knew in his heart that what really determined what place was here was not its shape, but the people who were here. Whether in a thatched hut or a yurt, the people gathered around the man in front of him were already people who didn't dare to insult the whole world.

On the throne, Wu Qimai was looking with great interest at these treasures that had been brought in.

As the second emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu Qimai is a little less world-devouring temperament than his brother Aguta, and his size is actually bigger than Aguta. It is said that he is born with divine power and can fight with his bare hands. Before Akuda had an accident, Emperor Tianzuo convened a gathering of Jurchen chieftains, at which he asked the chiefs to dance to make the emperor happy, Aguda refused, and Emperor Tianzuo wanted to kill him.

But also because of this. Follow Aguta's side. and loyal big guys, this kind of person seems to be a little honest and stupid. Although after inheriting the throne, according to other people's evaluations, he did inherit a few brushes from Akuda. However, governance has been relatively peaceful and steady. Even to see each other. Xu Zerun couldn't help but think of a rumor he heard before:

When Akuta was in power. He was very frugal in his manner, and he once made an agreement with his ministers that the treasures in the treasury could only be used in times of war. If anyone violates, whoever it is, he will be beaten with twenty sticks. After Wu Qimai succeeded to the throne, he was relatively short of money, and he had to spend money in all aspects, this emperor was a person who lived a hard life, and he could bear it for others, but he had a preference for wine and meat, and one day in March this year, he couldn't help it, and stole the money from the treasury to spend it, and after being known by Zong Han, he exposed it in front of the courtiers, and then pulled Wu Qimai down and beat him with twenty sticks, and then the courtiers of the entire court knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Wanyan Zonghan, Xu Zerun has seen this person, he is one of the most terrible ministers in the court, maybe it is really possible to do this kind of thing. Of course, if there is really such a thing, I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for the Wu Dynasty.

As an envoy of the Wu Dynasty, Xu Zerun himself was a long-sleeved person who was good at dancing, and he was also good at observing appearances and people. In the process of dealing with these martial artists and reckless men, he also knew that these people had some advantages, that is, they received money, which basically meant that they could do things. In the past three months, he has contacted many ministers of the Jin State, and he also knows that the court of the Jin State has been arguing endlessly about this matter. Coming over today, although some of the ministers he knew were not there, looking at the satisfied smiling face of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom above, he felt that this time the matter should have a good result.

Presented various gifts, and then officially handed over the letter containing various treaties for trade, Wu Qimai accepted it, just glanced at it, put it aside, and walked out of his seat.

As soon as he stood up, Xu Zerun felt the sense of oppression in front of the huge figure, and the Jurchen Emperor, dressed in mink brocade and fur, like a giant bear, walked over here, reached out to touch the tributes of porcelain and jade, and then picked them up and played with them for a while: "Good things." He whispered, and when he saw some of the bacon used for tribute and the good wine sealed in the porcelain bottle in the gift, he couldn't help but play with it, leaning down to smell it: "It's really a good thing......

"When we entered the Khitan Palace." He turned back to Xu Zerun and said, "The emperor ran away and took a lot of things with him, and some good things were broken along the way, and some good things didn't stay." Of course, it was the first group of boys to go in, they didn't understand it at all, and after the fight, they set fire everywhere......"

He is more than fifty years old, but the terrible but also honest emperor's face is like saying "I feel sorry for me", after he said this, he looked around the pile of gifts, and then waved his hand to a group of courtiers: "Retreat from the court, retreat from the dynasty today, you go back." ”

The courtiers began to retreat, and Xu Zerun frowned: "Your Majesty, that...... That promise......"

"It's settled." Wu Qimai stood up from the treasure, walked towards Xu Zerun, and then directly reached over, put his arm around his shoulder, and said in his thick voice, "Envoy Xu, don't think about it. Come, come with me, and I will show you something. ”

Wu Qimai was a head and a half taller than him, stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, he couldn't help but take a step forward, at this time the other party had already begun to walk towards the outside of the hall, Xu Zerun and others followed, a few white clouds drifted in the autumn sky, and the sun had risen, bringing a slight warmth. The emperor got into his carriage and then asked someone to bring him over: "Envoy Xu, you sit with me." ”

Xu Zerun excused himself, and finally went up, he leaned against the curtain of the carriage, and only sat on the carriage bench with half of his buttocks, but Wu Qimai pulled him and asked him to sit firmly: "The road is bumpy, if you don't sit firmly, you will wrestle." ”

The Emperor sat on the side of the carriage, his hands on his laps, smiling, like a giant bear sitting there.

I don't know why, Xu Zerun's heart is a little panicked. After a while, while the carriage was moving forward, Wu Qimai opened his mouth.

"Envoy Xu, brother and I. Many years ago, I was fascinated by Sinology. We know that there is a Wu Dynasty in the south, prosperous and rich, and everyone is ...... can be learned and edified, but it is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, Xu Envoy, do you understand? ”

Xu Zerun bowed his hand respectfully: "Zerun...... Got it. As long as the two countries can open a border market, there will be more exchanges, not long after. Jin Guo ......"

"It's like the stuff you brought today. It's all good stuff. Wu Qimai waved his hand, interrupting his next tirade, "Of course you also have problems, you always like to get some...... Curves that we don't understand. What's the use of those? Can't figure it out. Useless ......"

"Of course. We also have questions. Wu begged to buy not much to entangle, and continued, "I am there." I just succeeded to the throne, there are enemies in the court, and the bottom must be stable, I really don't want to fight anymore, and now the Liao Kingdom is over. Youyan or something, you should take it back, you can take a rest, it's best. But! ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed, accentuating his voice: "But...... I don't want anyone to think that my Jurchens are afraid of war, and if they fight the world, they won't dare to fight again! If anyone thinks like that, he's going to die! Envoy Xu, do you understand? ”

Xu Zerun was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Foreign minister, I understand." But he rejoiced in his heart, because when someone said this, the actual threat would no longer appear. Sure enough, Wu Qimai then laughed: "It's good to understand, it's good to understand, if you people in the court also understand, then the world will be peaceful." ”

While speaking, the bumpy carriage had gradually stopped, and Wu begged to buy: "It's here, go down." But he got up first, Xu Zerun followed behind and got out of the car, in front of him was a large row of low houses, walls, square and regular yards, a few trees were moving in the autumn wind, except for Xu Zerun's group of envoys, and a group of guards brought by Wu Qimai, there were not many people. The emperor stood in the courtyard, looked at this slightly bleak scene, took a deep breath, and raised a finger to the people next to him.

"O Messenger Xu, close your eyes, listen, listen to this voice."

Xu Zerun's heart was full of doubts at this time, he closed his eyes and listened, only the sound of the autumn wind blowing through the canopy was ringing, but he couldn't hear the sound in the distance. When he opened his eyes, Wu Qimai's whispering sounded again.

"When I was young, I hunted in the Changbai Mountains, to be a good hunter, ears are very important, far away, I can hear the sound of bears and tigers, their claws, stepping into the snow, the leaves, gently shaking, where the wind blows...... A good pair of ears will save your life, you listen now, this voice, it's really ...... Whew-woo-woo-woo......"

He waved his hand, gently imitated the sound of the wind blowing, and smiled at Xu Zerun, but Xu Zerun had a puzzled face, and he also knew that many emperors might like this kind of feeling that others couldn't figure him out, so half of his doubts were also deliberately pretended. After Wu Qimai laughed, he walked forward and went to a courtyard gate over there. As he walked forward, the last thing he said to Xu Zerun was: "By the way, Xu Envoy, do you remember what I said in the carriage?" ”

Xu Zerun replied: "Back to your majesty, remember." ”

Wu Qimai stepped through the small door.

Xu Zerun also followed, the scene unfolded in front of him, and then something was dense, like thousands of ants walking, spreading up from his back, his scalp was numb, and his whole person was tightening at that moment......

*************

Shangjing, Linhuang Mansion.

When Yan Xiyin walked into the delicate little courtyard, the sound of the guzheng sounded, he walked up to the small building, pushed the door and entered the exquisite room, the woman was stroking the zither strings in front of the window, and then smiled softly at him.

He sat down in his chair and closed his eyes as the woman played.

"Ceres" Wanyan Xiyin is the first of the Jurchens and the ministers. Of course, it is said that he is the head of Wenchen, mainly because he has the highest knowledge among the people, and he is not inferior to many great Confucians of the Wu Dynasty in the south for the knowledge of the Han people and the study of Confucianism. In the early years, he even created the Jurchen text independently.

And not only has he made achievements in learning, but among the Jurchen ministers, he is full of genius, both civil and military. In later generations, Jin Wushu, who once left a demon-like name, that is, Wanyan Zongbi, as the fourth son of Aguta, was both respectful and afraid of him at this time.

Living on this small building is one of his concubines, Wanyan Xiyin is interested in Sinology, this concubine is also a daughter of the Wu Dynasty who lives in the north, named Chen Wenjun, the two have been married for many years, Qin Se and Ming. Falling in love with each other, Chen Wenjun gave birth to two children for Wanyan Xiyin, and after the death of Wanyan Xiyin's wife, his wife's position has been vacant, and she became Wanyan Xiyin's actual wife. At this time, the Jurchens were not prejudiced against the Han people, and the people in the palace privately called her "Mrs. Han".

Every time he returned home, Wanyan Xiyin habitually listened to the other party play a piece of guzheng, and this time was no exception. When this soft melody like flowing water stopped, Wanyan Xiyin opened her eyes and stared at the beloved woman for a long time. Chen Wenjun stroked the strings of the zither. Deviated head. smiled: "Is there something wrong with the husband?" ”

Wanyan Xiyin was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm going south." ”

***************

The field of vision spreads out ahead.

Huge school field, countless flags. In front of the school field is a high platform, and the figure in front of it walks towards the high platform. Under the high platform. A large number of officials dressed in Jin court uniforms were tightly bound by ropes. Kneeling there, all the officials who Xu Zerun had visited and had given gifts. All kinds of gifts are piled up on the high platform, plus precious porcelain and real silver utensils, and a huge charcoal brazier is burning under the high platform, and the heat wave is rolling and distorting the air.

Leaves swirl underfoot.

Xu Zerun is a smart person, a very smart person, and the moment he saw the vision clearly, something emerged from the bottom of his heart and grabbed his mind. Goosebumps accompanied by coolness, surging up, Wu Qimai's words in the car gushed out, and then something farther away, he rode all the way north in a boat, a car, and a horse, and saw the great mountains and rivers, and when he left home, the eyes of his wife and children, countless eyes, were passing through his mind......

The strong wind blew through the school grounds, the flags and leaves were hunting, and the clouds stretched and rolled.

"Close your eyes and listen to the voice......"

He was still walking forward, his body was cold, and the back of his head was numb. This was an ordinary day, he had never thought of seeing this scene in front of him, but some Yan zhòng feeling had already rushed in front of him, like the wind and the sea rain, banging on the rocks.

The soldier walked over, the sword soldier hit the back of the envoys, but there was no sound, at this moment he was surprisingly unable to hear the sound, he also felt a shake in the field of vision, he was beaten to the knee bent, in front of the field of vision, the emperor walked on the high platform, the wind blew his robe, fur flew in the air, huge body, hands clenched into fists, on the other side of the field of vision faced countless soldiers, beside him, like a hill of porcelain, gold and silver, treasures. Then, his voice sounded like thunder.

"Brothers, Jurchens, do you know what these are in front of you—"

……

The wind and rain were blowing, and Zhou Dong's master and servant were walking on the road between the cities in a foreign land, and the rain was falling from the sky.

Jiang Ning, a girl called Xiao Qi by her family, pushed the white-haired old man, went out to bask in the sun, and watched the pedestrians outside walk by the side of the road, and the old man occasionally spoke and smiled.

Miao Jiang, a one-armed swordsman named Du Slash, swung a knife, and the blood of the enemy spilled on his face, and next to him, his brothers were engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy......

……

"They are the treasures of the Wu Dynasty in the south, here, you have such porcelain in front of your eyes, it is worth dozens or hundreds of silver coins, the most expensive one here, take it away, you can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime...... There is such a Hetian mutton fat jade, such a large piece, it can make many people go crazy, put it at home, and it can be used as a family heirloom, allowing you to pass it on for ten lifetimes...... There are paintings and calligraphy from the Tang Dynasty...... There are Buddhist scriptures inlaid with gold and silver...... There was a tribute to the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty...... There's wine you can't buy even if you have money...... Here, thousands of things, good things worth hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars, it's here-"

The wind blew through the high platform, and the emperor opened his hands in the wind: "You! Don't want it! ”

……

Hangzhou, a city that has experienced war, has been rebuilt, with black canopy boats rowing through the peaceful waterways, prosperous bazaars, vendors shouting loudly, pedestrians and merchants coming and going between the city gates, bustling and lively......

In a courtyard, two green forest people fought quickly, one of them was beaten out, spitting out blood, and the other raised his hand: "Assassinate the heart demon, I came to take the lead, who else is not convinced?" ”

Li Pin walked through the trails of the mountain village, and when he was fetching water by the stream, he picked up the mud and sand in the water and sniffed it between his noses. He loved the fresh smell.

Raise your head, between the mountain villages below, you can vaguely see the scene of farmers coming and going, the sky is just right, the rice is golden, and it is about to ripen.

……

"You should want it!" Wu Qimai's voice echoed in the sky above Huining, "Good thing." Anyone should want it! I want it too! But I don't want to give alms—"

"I'm a Jurchen! Since the first emperor started the incident, he came out of the white mountains and black waters, but in just ten years, we have swept the entire Liao country! In the past, the Liao people in the world, all their good things were ours! This world! Isn't there more of this world than here!? What are these things—"

With a roar, he grabbed a large porcelain shelf next to him. Swing it violently. The shelves flew up in the air, and countless porcelains flew up, smashing into the high platform like a hill, white flowers. Countless treasures were smashed into pieces in front of everyone's eyes. Several Jin courtiers who were kneeling in front of them were directly smashed inside. Bleeding from the head......

……

In the alum building, the personable scholars are shaking their fans and are reciting poems. The teacher smiled while stroking the piano. While looking at these people in front of him, outside the window, the heat has faded, and the leaves are about to turn yellow.

That's it, it's autumn again. Sometimes I think about it, when the warbler flies and the grass grows, another year has passed......

To the north, another team of goods entered Luliang Mountain, and Hongti stood on the built gate of the wall, looking at the passing merchants.

Zhou Bangyan poured tea in the grass house and entertained the guests. Song Yongping took the book of war and surveyed around a valley, and several county soldiers followed him boredly.

Ningfu, Xiaochan clutched her stomach and screamed. Suddenly, the entire Ning Mansion was in chaos......

……

There was a rumbling sound of things being broken, followed by chests of gold and silver, and the golden and precious objects flew into the sky and fell into the great charcoal furnace, and the wind and fire rose.

"Porcelain! What's—"

"Gold and silver! What's—"

"Calligraphy and painting! What's—"

"Haven't you seen these things! No! You've all seen it! When you stepped on the mountains and rivers of the entire Liao country, when you rushed into the city of the Liao people, and when you rushed into the palace of the Liao people, you have all seen it! A lot of you, you've taken them back home, you've got everything! The entire rivers and mountains of Liao are ours—"

"We are the snow bears in the ice field, and the wolf king in the forest! We Jurchens, as long as we gather together, there is no one in the world who is invincible. We got what we wanted! We took down the entire Liao Kingdom, including these people kneeling below, they used to be your brothers, and they used to get everything they wanted! You know why they kneel here! Because when they saw what they wanted, they began to receive alms! They are like dogs, receiving alms from the Wu Dynasty, and then they have to lobby and do things for the Wu Dynasty—"

"They're not Jurchens anymore, they're dogs—"

The wind was roaring, the flames were rising, and beneath the high platform, countless mountains of treasures were shattering, smashed into pieces, dissolved into golden water, and burned to ashes. The huge emperor, like a demon god, rushed on the stage, and threw the priceless thing to destroy it with one hand......

……

Jiangnan, next to the official road in and out of the county, Wang Shanyue sat in the tea shop, looking at the vendors coming and going, showing a boring smile.

In the dark small room, the returnees always have the information at hand, and occasionally put the useful ones in the small book around them, calculating the steps and success rate of the Yin people.

Shi Jin threw the troublesome drunken man in the tavern out of the door, and then turned to drink his own piece of wine. Pedestrians on the street looked at the man on the ground, startled, and then walked over to the side, each doing his own thing. Shi Jin's younger brothers rushed up and punched and kicked him.

In the Taishi Mansion, Cai Jing wrote a good picture, waited for himself to dry in the autumn wind, and then sat there and instructed the housekeeper beside him: "This is good, I will frame it later." ”

The sun shone in, the autumn wind caressed the paper, and on the ink marks that had not dried in the corners, there was the following handwriting: ...... The virtuous brother of the Ya Gift Club.

In the ink fragrance, there is a slight fragrance of tea and books, which is the style of a gentleman.

……

"These envoys of the Wu Dynasty have turned them into dogs! They bring so much to the table that, at the end of the day, they are afraid of us! They are afraid that we will beat them, but shall we beat them? We didn't—"

"For a long time, we have regarded the Wu Dynasty as a state of brothers, and we have regarded them as brothers! But these brothers, what have they done! Fight the Liao people, they don't work hard! After the fight, they were jumping around in the shadows like hateful rats! They instigated Zhang Jue's rebellion, and they took in the remnants of the Liao State! They are in our place, sending money everywhere, paying bribes, corrupting my subjects! They're digging my flesh, they're dividing your brothers! And these people below. It's the guy who was turned from a human into a dog by them! ”

"Them! Live in the warmest place! They have the best of mountains and water, and there are countless goodies! It's a pity they're not people! They're dogs! They only have intrigue, never fangs and claws! We, the Jurchens, have we ever been stingy with our brothers? We Jurchens, have we ever been stingy with our friends? Fighting the Liao State, they have achieved nothing, we beat it down, and then give it to them! So that they can rejoice, they can boast, and they can look back. They want you to be stabbed in the body! Stab my subjects! They will be these brothers of yours. It's all ruined—"

"But it's good—" Wu Qimai spread his hands and raised the sleeves of his robe in the wind and fire, "they came over and sued us." They have something. They have so much, so much of it. And I saw it. You want, haha, but these dog-feeding guys on the table. We don't want it. But there are countless things, and ten times hundredfold and a thousand times the good, all in the south—"

……

In the south of the earth, beyond the Yanmen Pass, there is the warmest land, the best water and soil, the most suitable sunshine and weather. They nourish the people of this land year after year, giving them the best cradle for survival and reproduction.

For thousands of years, they have built great and splendid civilizations here from generation to generation, and they will also experience wars, but soon, they will come together again and reforge order. Now, more than 200 years have passed since the large-scale war here, between the heavy mountains and the green water, the cities, and the villages are full of peace and tranquility, when the sun rises, the peasants go out of the village doors, the sun rises, the shops in the city are opened, the craftsmen drink the hot porridge and rice, pick up the tools to do the work, the officers and soldiers are at the city gate while chatting, while checking the passing merchants, the officials shout mighty slogans in the public court. The captain held up the oars by the river, the seaside, the fishermen set up sailboats and started the day's work, their families shook their arms on the beach, the sound of suona, the welcoming procession walked across the bluestone slab bridge, and the bride in the sedan chair was happily and anxiously waiting for the arrival of another life. The smoke and clouds in the Buddhist temple are curling, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are doing the exercises of self-cultivation, and on the cliffs with green trees, the huge Buddha heads carved by the stonemasons begin to gradually show their clues.

This is a world where thousands of lives and countless treasures gather......

In the mansion at the turn of Lang Yuan, a new life was being born, and it opened its eyes and let out its first loud cry. The mother felt joy in the great pain, and someone folded her hands and burst into tears......

……

Everything, like a hill, fell.

"Since they're dogs, since they've reminded us, since you really want to. Then let's just go and get it! Today, let these courtiers from the Wu Dynasty wait for us to sacrifice the flag-"

Xu Zerun's thoughts had already sunk, and gradually resurfaced, he had already been able to guess what the other party was going to do, the blurred light and shadow, the floating thoughts, and the soul were torn apart on both sides of the body. At some point, he had already stood up, rushed out, shouting to rush to the figure on the high platform, he didn't know what he was scolding, and under the high platform, someone had already stopped him-

"Don't stop him, let him come up, let me show you-"

"Dusk Jun, hundreds of millions of subjects of my Wu Dynasty will definitely ......"

They watched as the figure rushed up to the platform and slammed into Wu Qimai, but the bear-like emperor grabbed him with one hand and slammed him backhand into the hill-like ceramic ruins. He smashed down with two fists, the body was already twisted, he pulled the person up again, stepped on it, tore off the opponent's arm, blood gushed out, and then with three booms, the giant bear tore the whole person apart, and the blood plasma sprayed on the huge flagpole of the king's flag, and also sprayed his entire body.

"Long live the Jurchens-" The roar of the giant bear swept through the sky, and in response to the thunder that shook the earth, countless sword lights fell, countless blood spurted, and under the autumn sky, the emperor licked the blood and opened his big hand, "We-"

His voice was as thick as a demon: "Go on the expedition—"

Clouds, swept in. (To be continued......)
