676, turned upside down (6)
(When I came back at night, I was moved to find that my friends had voted for so many monthly tickets in order to make me last monthly!) Thank you! )
Yelu Caijie was worried that time was in a hurry, and she was about to set off to return to Liao, which was also in line with Zheng Fei's intentions, and agreed to her request. And Huang Xing and the others have just left for a long time, they should be able to catch up with them and let them escort Yelu Caijie back to Liao.
Zheng Fei ordered people to prepare for Yelu Caijie's departure, and on the other hand, he sent people all the way to catch up with Huang Xing, just in case, and sent carrier pigeons to Dengzhou Port, in case Huang Xing and others really arrived at Dengzhou Port, let them wait for Yelu Caijie there.
An hour later, everything was ready, in order to protect the safety and smoothness of Yelu Caijie's way, Zheng Fei also specially dispatched a cavalry regiment of the Independent Army to escort her, and went out of the city with Li Qingzhao, Li Luoling and Hu Sanniang to bid farewell to Yelu Caijie.
Although Yelu Caijie is a princess, but the Khitan people can ride horses regardless of men and women, at this moment, she also changed into a Han family clothes, put on a horseback riding costume, I saw her leading a tall horse, showing the wild beauty of the grassland daughter's family.
Yelu Caijie looked at the tall city wall of Jiangning Mansion, looked at Zheng Fei and Li Qingzhao and others in front of him, and felt a trance, a month ago, far outside the city of Nanjing, the same was true, his father, mother and some civil and military officials in Nanjing saw him off, and he officially left Daliao with the mission given by his father and the country to go to the Song Kingdom, from a princess of Daliao to the wife of a Han family hero, and started his new life. She still vividly remembers that when the carriage left Nanjing, she hid in the tent and cried secretly, thinking that she might never have the opportunity to return to Daliao to see her father and ......mother again in her life. Unexpectedly, only a few days after she entered Jiangning Mansion, the situation in the world changed so drastically that she had to return to Daliao with a new mission to avoid putting her father and the country in danger of overturning, and the person who said goodbye to her became her husband and several sisters ......, and everything was like a reappearance of yesterday.......
Yelu Caijie suddenly felt a little tired, she didn't know what she had done wrong, why she had to bear so many burdens...... but she knew that this was a responsibility that she couldn't escape, she had to hold on, otherwise many people would die because of it!
Li Qingzhao stepped forward and handed a small flower pocket to Yelu Caijie, "Fourth sister, these are a few snacks I made just now, this is a hard journey, you can keep it and eat it." ”
Yelu Caijie already knows Li Qingzhao's personality completely, and understands that she is really completely out of good intentions, unless, she is the most scheming and acting woman in the world, but that is impossible, Yelu Caijie has never seen anyone as kind, wise, honest, and gentle as Li Qingzhao, with a great maternal brilliance that seems to be able to influence everything and smooth everything, Yelu Caijie knows that this is an invincible woman.
"Thank you, eldest sister," Yelu Caijie gratefully stretched out her hand to take it, trying to dispel the fatigue in her heart, first smiled sweetly at Li Qingzhao, then smiled at Li Luoling and Hu Sanniang, and finally fixed her eyes on Zheng Fei's face, looking at this man who was destined to become the most important man in his life.......
To be honest, Yelu Caijie was a little afraid of Zheng Fei, since landing in the Song Kingdom, everything she saw and heard completely subverted her cognition, especially after seeing everything this man had, she knew that this was a man who was stronger than her father, and it was no wonder that her father would be willing to marry him. And with her cleverness, of course she knew that it would be very beneficial for him to let him go back and persuade his father, but she also knew that what he said was not a joke, if he really did that, he would indeed be more sure to destroy Da Liao and his father after uniting the Jin Kingdom! This made her feel a kind of fear for the man in front of her.
But Yelu Caijie doesn't blame him for using himself, because even his father is using him, how can he blame a person who has only been married to him for five days for treating himself completely selflessly? He was originally the carrier of a political marriage, not a participant in the love story between him and Li Qingzhao and others, a woman born in the emperor's family is destined to become a tool and victim of various struggles, in addition to worry-free food and clothing, if you talk about freedom, in fact, it is far inferior to the ordinary women of the people......
Thinking of this, Yelu Caijie's heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, she was so envious that Li Qingzhao and they were lucky enough to meet a man who really liked her, was good to her, and was in love with her, although she also had the same man as them, he was destined to not be able to treat himself ...... sincerely. Yelu Caijie really wanted to ask Zheng Fei very much, wanted to ask him if he really liked himself even a little bit, and wanted to ask him if he really gave his father a chance because of his existence in this matter, even if it was only a little!
But Yelu Caijie knew that he couldn't ask, and even if he did, he wouldn't get a real answer, so it was better not to ask! Just think of it as ...... That's what he did!
This feeling of self-comfort made Yelu Caijie feel even more unbearable and sad, and the tears of grievance began to gather in her eyes again, and she hurriedly smiled at everyone, "Husband, three sisters, then I'll go." After speaking, she hurriedly turned around, at this time, the tears finally fell without a fight, she didn't dare to wipe, afraid of being discovered, just about to turn over on the horse to make a move, but suddenly felt that there was a force behind her back and legs to support her and easily got on the horse, she looked at the horse in surprise, and saw at a glance that it was Zheng Fei who had just helped her get on the horse, and Zheng Fei's hand was still gently holding her hand,
"Jie'er, take good care of yourself on the road." Zheng Fei said, "And ...... I'm sorry to have you endure so much for us. ”
Yelu Caijie's body trembled, she could no longer suppress the true feelings in her heart, and asked with tears, "Husband, before leaving, I just want to ask you, ...... Do you really think of me as your wife? ”
Zheng Fei nodded without hesitation, and squeezed Yelu Caijie's hand hard, "Of course, although the union between you and me is out of a political marriage, who can deny that this is not a marriage destined by God in the dark?" It's just a different form. From the moment you married me, I truly made you my wife forever! ”
Yelu Caijie smiled and nodded vigorously.......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Looking at the backs of hundreds of horsemen and Yelu Caijie drifting away,
Li Luoling sighed softly and said to Li Qingzhao, "Sister, she is really pitiful...... ”
"Yes," Hu Sanniang said, "I admire her very much, as a woman, she can be strong enough to carry all this on her shoulders, if I ...... I may not have the courage to do so. ”
Li Qingzhao was about to speak, but when she saw Zheng Fei standing on the side for a long time without saying a word, she glanced at the second daughter, and the three of them walked to his side together and asked with concern, "Husband, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zheng Fei sighed, "Am I too bad?" So take advantage of her ....... ”
Li Qingzhao shook his head, "There is no way to do this, we all understand you, husband, in order to let more people live, sometimes it is unavoidable to do something against your will, at least ...... What her husband just said to her made her very happy, and even I was very touched when I heard it. ”
Li Luoling and Hu Sanniang also nodded together in agreement,
Zheng Fei nodded, in the great river of history, who can really control their own destiny? All tragedies are caused by this unrighteous everything, and all I can do is to do my best to end him as soon as possible, to bring eternal peace and peace to myself, to Jerod Caijie, and to the whole world, so that everyone can freely choose their own life!
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from behind him, Zheng Fei looked back, and saw that a horse had rushed to the front, and a knight jumped off his horse and bowed to Zheng Fei, "Commander, according to your orders, Seed Master Dao and Zong Ze have returned to Jiangning Mansion, and they have just entered the city at this moment and are heading to the Commander's Mansion." ”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
After two months, and then back to Jiangning Mansion, the feelings of the cultivator Dao and Zong Ze have changed drastically from two months ago, just like the former Zhang Shuye, they were also deeply shocked by the prosperous and stable society they saw in front of them.
Of course, at the beginning, they also had doubts, thinking that what they saw was just a play, but as they went to more and more places, especially in the end, Zong Ze specially asked to go back to Dengzhou to have a look, so that they finally completely believed everything in front of them, because Dengzhou is Zong Ze's old territory, he knows Dengzhou too well, Dengzhou under his rule is the richest in the entire Jingdong East Road, and the most peaceful place for the people to live, he wants to see what Dengzhou has become now, He was confident that no one could deceive him on the land of Dengzhou!
Outcome...... He was completely shocked, and he couldn't even believe everything in front of him, because compared with the current Dengzhou, the Dengzhou he was once proud of was simply not worth mentioning! He also met several farmers he knew who were farming near Dengzhou City, and in the "Battle of Dengzhou" he launched a few years ago, these farmers had walked up to the city wall to help the Dengzhou army resist the attack of the Heavenly Dao Army. When these farmers saw Zong Ze, they were stunned at first, and then they all surrounded him, and warmly called him "Lord" to salute him, and it was also from their mouths that Zong Ze knew everything that happened here after he led the Dengzhou army to evacuate Dengzhou!
Zong Ze was very excited, such a society is what he has been determined to build since the day he became an official of his parents, but the chaotic and corrupt officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty has smashed his efforts again and again, he can only retreat to the second, and strive to keep the peace of the people under his rule, but it coincided with the troubled times, caught up with a catastrophe of Liangshan thieves, when he left Dengzhou with tears, he didn't even dare to look back, he couldn't bear to see the people of Dengzhou fall into the clutches of Liangshan thieves, living a life that is hot and watery, life is worse than death, who expected, It is precisely the culprit he hates the most and causes the chaos in the world that really built Dengzhou into what he idealized! Even the most prosperous period of the dynasties recorded in the books is nothing more than that, and the life of the common people is nothing more than that!
Zong Ze had already guessed that Zheng Linfeng's purpose was to let him see all this, and he had to admit that Zheng Linfeng's eyes were really vicious, and this move hit the most vulnerable place in his heart! Not only was I tempted, but I even had a feeling that I had finally met the Lord and coincided with the prosperous times!
And on the way back, after several sleepless deep thoughts, Zong Ze finally made a decision......!
Seeing Zheng Fei walk in the door, Zong Ze did not hesitate, he stepped forward and bent down, "Zong Ze, the criminal minister, see the commander!" The sinner has no eyes, and he almost made a big mistake at the beginning! Please, Commander-in-Chief! ”
Zheng Fei smiled, knowing that he had influenced another Uncle Zhang, this trick is really tried and tested, loyal ministers, most of the loyal ministers love the people like sons, and the common people are their weakness, Yasheng Mencius said, "The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light", this sentence is an important part of Confucianism, the people are the most important in the world, the country is still secondary, and the interests of the ruling group with the king as the core are even more respectful. Based on this, all rulers must put the interests of the common people first, and only when the common people are satisfied can the society be stable and the interests of the ruling group of the king be consolidated. This is the people-oriented thinking of the ancient sages, and of course these loyal ministers who have read the scriptures also understand this truth, and now I have let the common people live the best life, if they can't touch the hearts of these loyal ministers, then they are really reading the sages in vain.
Zheng Fei picked up Zong Ze and said with a smile, "Master Zong, welcome!" While speaking, Zheng Fei took a look at the side, only to see the seed master Dao looking at this side in a daze, his face was tangled, of course the seed master Dao was also moved, this is even the second time he was deeply touched, the words that his old friend Liu Fa said to himself in Tokyo seem to be still echoing in his ears, he appreciates what the Heavenly Dao Army does, and he also yearns for the high status and dignity enjoyed by the martial artists in the Heavenly Dao Army, he is even tired of being the watchdog who comes when the Great Song Dynasty recruits him, lingers and goes, and gives a bone to gnaw on when he is obedient, But he and Liu Fa and Zong Ze are a little different, he is the son of the Northwest Jiangmen family, his ancestors in the northwest, starting from his grandfather Shiheng, three generations of the family of the family of the Song Dynasty threw their heads, sprinkled blood, and laid the reputation of "the general", only people in the family died in battle, and no one surrendered and betrayed the court, and the "general" has become the pride of the master, but also became his imprisonment, he is not afraid of death, he is only afraid of defiling the heroic spirit of the ancestors because of himself! Smear the face of the seed family! So, he can't fall! No matter how mediocre the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is, no matter how dark the court is, even if he is pitted, he can't be lowered!
Seeing that Zheng Fei was looking at himself, the seed master Dao could only sigh and bow his head, expressing his attitude and decision in this way,
If it was placed in the past, Zheng Fei really couldn't do anything about the seed master, but now it's different, Zheng Fei already has enough certainty!
"I got you back in a hurry this time, because I have something to tell you." Zheng Fei nodded lightly towards the Seed Master, and then asked Zong Ze to sit back in his seat, while he sat opposite them very casually and said, "This matter ...... It has a lot to do with the kind of general. ”
The seed master couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't surrender, what else did the Heavenly Dao Army have to do with him? He looked at Zong Ze, thinking that Zong Ze knew, but saw that Zong Ze was also full of doubts.
I only heard Zheng Fei say, "I have received definite news, in order to deal with me, the Song Dynasty asked for 300,000 troops from the Liao State on the condition of ceding the thirteen prefectures including Fengzhou and Daizhou on the Third Road of Hebei to the Liao State!" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a bombshell that shook the Seed Master Dao and Zong Ze, and their faces were full of incomparable shock! A moment later, the two of them got up almost at the same time and exclaimed,
"What?!"
"How is this possible! How do you know?!"
was so frightened that Li Sangen thought that they would make some outrageous moves, so he had to step forward to protect Zheng Fei's safety.
Zheng Fei waved his hand at Li Sangen to make him stand back, and continued, "It's true, I don't have to lie to you. While speaking, Zheng Fei glanced at the seed master deeply,
Seed Master Dao's heart jumped, and he suddenly had an ominous feeling, and sure enough, he saw Zheng Fei looking at him intently and said, "There is also a definite news...... At the same time, the Song court ceded the twelve states of Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road to the Xia State on the condition that it would cede the twelve states of Huanzhou and Huizhou on the Yongxing Military Road to the Xia State, and asked for 250,000 troops from the Xia State! ”
As soon as these words came out, the seed master Dao felt that his heart was hit hard, and his body shook and fell back to his seat!
Huanzhou ...... It is the origin of the seed family, the foundation of the seed family, and all the clansmen who sacrificed to defend the northwest are buried there, including the ancestor of the seed family general, Chong Shiheng, and his father Chongji, as well as his deceased wife Yin and his two sons who have died in battle, Chong Hao and Chongxi!
Huanzhou is the root of all kinds of families, and it is the holy place in their hearts!
The family and countless soldiers in the northwest don't know how much they sacrificed, and how much blood they spilled didn't let the party members touch that land, but now, this holy land has to be ceded to the party members?
Without Huanzhou, will the planter still be the farmer? If there is no Huanzhou, where will the planting family go to find their roots? Where to go to worship ancestors? Where to visit a loved one who has passed away? How do you raise the next generation of breeders?!
All the beliefs that supported the path of the Seed Master collapsed in an instant!
"You're telling the truth...... you?!" The seed master glared angrily, his eyes were bloodshot, and he asked in a hoarse voice,
Zheng Fei sighed and nodded, "It's true, and the Xia Kingdom has already agreed to the conditions of the Song Dynasty, and the twenty-five major armies must have entered Huanzhou and other places at this moment." ”
"Ah......h The planter let out a long roar, and slammed his fist on the table in front of him, only to hear a loud bang, and a sturdy pear wood table was actually broken in two by him with one punch! Then he stood with his head hanging as if deflated, his body trembling slightly, his fists bleeding but seemingly unaware, like a beast about to explode!
Li San was even more shocked and wanted to step forward again, but he shook his head again for Zheng Fei to stop him, Zheng Fei stood up and walked in front of the Seed Master Dao and said, "General Seed, you know the northwest better than me, you should know that if Huanzhou and other places are lost, plus the last barrier on the front line of Daizhou is also lost, what will it mean to the Central Plains, if we don't act quickly, maybe the tragedy of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and even the tragedy of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms and the five chaotic Chinese disasters in the Central Plains will be repeated!" Is it worth defending the Song Dynasty, which betrayed the country to seek glory and completely disregarded the lives of the people? ”
The planter Dao's body trembled again, and then he slowly raised his head, and it was already an old tear! "You...... Is there a guarantee that the continent will be recovered no matter what? ”
Zheng Fei nodded vigorously, "Not only Huanzhou, the entire Northwest, but also the entire Hebei, the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and the entire land that originally belonged to the land of China, I will take it back, and I will not let it fall into the hands of foreign races at all!" If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”
With a "plop", the planter fell to his knees and bowed, "The planter is willing to follow to the death!" ”
