The capital of Yanjing, the ...... of the imperial palace

After Emperor Yuan Shun drove away the authoritarian Boyan, he appointed Totoku as the right prime minister of Zhongshu. Emperor Shun is the only favorite, and the personal relationship is even better. At this time, Tokhtar was summoned by Emperor Shun to the imperial study to discuss matters.

Emperor Shun has been on the throne for a long time, and the original ancient people are already strong, with a majesty that reigns over the world. Emperor Shun considered himself the Son of Heaven, and when the order was forbidden, all the people supported him, but recently he heard a rumor spread into the palace, which made this rather rigid emperor very concerned.

"Have you heard any rumors lately?"

Emperor Shun inadvertently talked about it. After thinking for a while, Tokhtar blurted out: "What the sage said, but what is the great rebellious rumor that circulates in the mouth of the fool? ”

Emperor Shun nodded and muttered, "Well, that's good." A few days ago, I heard about it by chance from some mouthy palace eunuchs in the palace. ”

Tokhtar knelt down on the ground: "The saint doesn't need to worry too much, this is just a rumor spread by those foolish people. Our Great Plains Dynasty can be called a prosperous reappearance under the rule of His Majesty, and such a great rebellious rumor is certainly not to be believed. ”

The corners of Emperor Shun's mouth set up an arc, and he sneered: "The stone man has one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel against the world." Hehe, it's really a big rebellion. Even if it is not credible, such rebellious words must not be indulged. ”

When he heard this, he echoed Emperor Shun: "What the sage said is very true, and his subordinates have also sent someone to investigate the source of this rumor, and found that this rumor originated from Zhaozhou. ”

"Oh? Zhaozhou! Who is Zhaozhou Zhou Yin? Emperor Shun asked.

"Back to the saint, it's Ruan Xiangxi."

"Ruan Xiangxi?" Emperor Shun was obviously not impressed by this state Yin.

Totoku hurriedly continued: "This person once served in the Dragon and Tiger Army of General Guan Chihu, and later because of his meritorious service, the sage personally decreed that he should be named Zhaozhou Prefecture Yin. ”

"Oh...... Is it that man? has done things under General Guan Chihu, and his ability is extraordinary. Emperor Shun nodded, and I don't know if he really remembered this Zhaozhou Prefecture Yin: "However, such a major event is also extremely sloppy." Aiqing, you said, if there is really a rebellion in Zhaozhou, who to send will be enough to suppress it. ”

Tokhtar pondered for a moment, and recommended a person: "The minister thinks that Chakhan Timur in the Dragon and Tiger Army can do this important task." ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Totoh replied: "As far as the minister knows, Chahan Timur and Yin Ruan Xiangxi of Zhaozhou Prefecture are old acquaintances, and the two have a good personal relationship, and they are both under the command of the Dragon and Tiger Army, so they will cooperate better with each other." Chakhan Timur is also one of the best commanders under General Guan Chihu, and he should be able to take on this important task. ”

Emperor Shun was overjoyed: "Good, then this is the person." Spread my will, and appointed Chakhan Timur as the minister of the Qin Mission, and went to Zhaozhou to inspect on my behalf. Lead the Dragon and Tiger Army of 50,000, if there is a rebellion, help Zhaozhou Yin Ruan Xiangxi to suppress it, there must be no mistake. ”

Tokhtar immediately bowed three times and knocked nine times: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

......

Zhaozhou is the city through which the Yellow River flows, and at the beginning of the year, Emperor Shun ordered 150,000 people to build a dam. It has been half a year since the construction of the embankment, and the embankment has begun to take shape. But in the past six months, the 150,000 Chinese people who came as forcibly recruited have really suffered.

Although they had a lot of food, they had to work ten hours a day, with a maximum of two hours of rest. It's fine when it's cold, but when the weather gets hot, working for ten hours under this scorching summer day is really going to heat people to death.

The former soldiers turned a blind eye to this, but when they saw someone who was so hot that they couldn't stand it and stopped to rest for a while, they would inevitably be served with another whip. The original ancients were born with big shoulders and round waists, and when this whip came down, Rao would not die, and he would have to lose half his life. The Chinese people have long been resentful, but they can't escape, so they only hope to complete the cultivation of this dam as soon as possible, so as to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.

But in such a human purgatory, there was a joke a few days ago. said that there was a young man who took the initiative to come to the door and asked Ying to join the embankment builders. Although the original man was surprised, there was such a fool, and he did not refuse to come, and allowed him to join the embankment construction team. Everyone laughed at this strong man, it is true that there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no way to break into hell.

On the edge of the Yellow River, the bustling people are busy without stopping, everyone has a gloomy expression, only one person seems to be full of energy.

A swarthy strong man filled in a load of rocks and passed in front of the man, and said, "You are the one who has a way to heaven and does not go?" ”

The young man gritted his teeth and replied, "If you are talking about the person who took the initiative to invite Ying, it is me." ”

The swarthy strong man didn't dare to stop for a moment, so as not to attract the attention of the original people, and he would be whipped for nothing. Coincidentally, the young man seemed to be on the same path as him, walking side by side. The swarthy strong man couldn't help but ask, "Don't you know that this is a hell on earth, and there is no entry and exit?" ”

I don't want the young man to look indifferent: "I know." ”

The swarthy strong man was speechless for a while, and blurted out, "Then why are you here?" ”

The young man restrained his smile: "In this world, where is there no persecution of the original people? In this case, I don't have to worry about starving to death here, but I have to give up this strength. The younger brother has no other skills, but he is not stingy with this strength. Then what is the reason for this hell? ”

The swarthy strong man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "This damn world is really evil, evil......"

The young strong man suddenly asked with a mysterious face: "I wonder if the eldest brother has ever heard of the phrase 'the stone man has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel in the world'?" ”

The swarthy strong man was shocked when he heard this, and he almost didn't even pick up the burden on his shoulders: "Brother Shenyan, if you want to be heard by the original people, this is a capital crime!" ”

The young strong man smiled and said, "Don't hide it from my brother, I'm not here just to have a full stomach. I have heard that when the Son of Destiny comes, the rule of the Yuan Dynasty is about to become untenable. The Son of Destiny is stirring up strife in the world on the edge of the Yellow River, and the suffering people here will soon be rescued. I'm here just to wait for the Son of Destiny to bring troops to arrive, join them, overthrow the rule of the original ancients, and regain the world that belongs to our Chinese people? ”

The swarthy strong man was really frightened at this time, and he stopped where he was and forgot to continue walking, pointing at the young strong man and speechless: "You...... You ......"

Not far away, a former soldier noticed the movement here and was about to come over with a whip. The young strong man hurriedly pulled the swarthy strong man, and the swarthy strong man came to his senses and quickened his pace. When the original soldiers saw this, they gave up.

The swarthy strong man whispered to the young man as he walked, "You man, you are talking nonsense. The ancients were powerful, not to mention that the stone man's one eye was just a rumor, that is, someone really rose up and wanted to overthrow the rule of the dynasty. I can't say when, the stray arrows on the battlefield will be sent to the Yellow Spring. For the sake of both Chinese and Chinese, I won't denounce you, but you also listen to the advice of the eldest brother, this unrealistic idea should be cut off as soon as possible. ”

The young man still smiled as always, and did not say good, nor did he say bad: "Haha, thank you big brother for persuading." The little brother is going over there, so don't leave it at that. ”

The swarthy strong man didn't persuade much, shook his head and said, "Okay then." My name is Wang Er, and I don't know my brother's name. Work hard here, and you can take care of each other in the future. ”

The young strong man waved goodbye and said, "Today's talk is also fateful, and if the second brother Wang has difficulties in the future, he can come to the younger brother." The younger brother's surname is Zhu, and his name is the eighth in the first month. ”

As he spoke, he carried the burden and walked energetically in the other direction.
