Chapter 33: The Emperor's Thoughts
The evening breeze is blowing, the battle flag is hunting, the city of Liyang is full of swords and guns, the lights are bright, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. Although he was on the front line, the sergeant's face was mostly calm and a little relaxed. After all, in the battle that just ended, the Great Jin defeated the Khitans.
In the Yanei of Liyang County, Shi Chonggui, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, had just met with the meritorious generals, and he was able to defeat the invincible Khitan, and his mood was strangely happy. He was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was quite energetic. He is known for his large eyes. As early as seven or eight years ago, Shi Jingjiao, in the suspicion of Tang Emperor Li Congke, was forced to cede land to the Khitan and beg soldiers, both as a minister and a son, and was established as the emperor by the Khitan. This child emperor was so encompassed that he didn't even dare to appoint the guards in Hedong by himself, but only sent seven or eight nephews for Yelu Deguang to choose by himself. In the face of the filial piety and deference of the "Emperor", Yelu Deguang was complacent, he looked casually, and found that there was a kid with big eyes among these seven or eight people, maybe the Khitan people thought that the eyes were blessed, or maybe Yelu Deguang liked big eyes, and immediately he pointed to Shi Chonggui and said: "This big-eyed person can also." But he didn't expect that it was this arrogance that gave Shi Chonggui a great insult.
The founding emperor rarely had such a poor life as Shi Jingjiao. No matter what he does, he has to look at the face of his godfather, who is more than ten years younger than him, in addition to sending money and things to the Khitan emperor and nobles every year. Moreover, when the Khitan envoy came, Shi Jingjiao had to kneel down and come to receive the order after three bows and nine bows. Shi Jingjiao can stand this, but the generals under him can't stand it, and Shi Chonggui can't stand this, the dignified prince and general of China, why should he kneel down to you, a barbarian, and recognize you as a godfather. This sentiment gradually spread in the court and army of the Later Jin Dynasty, which directly led to the later Weizhou Jiedu Fan Yanguang, Shannan Dongdao Jiedu made An Congjin, and Chengde Junjiedu made An Chongrong. Shi Jingjiao tried his best to finally calm them down, but this Youyou's mouth couldn't be stopped. The self-respecting festival envoys who use soldiers, such as Liu Zhiyuan to make the Hedong festival and Du Chongwei to make the Chengde army, don't listen to the emperor much, but Shi Jingjiao still can't do anything about them. Shi Jingjiao died of depression when he didn't dare to offend the Khitan, nor Liu Zhiyuan and others. Shi Jingjiao's death gave Shi Chonggui room to display and gave him a lot of inspiration. Maybe from that day on, Shi Chonggui wanted to try how deep the water was in this Khitan, which was known as the "600,000" who was known as a person who pulled the string and controlled the bow.
Looking at the flickering candlelight, Shi Chonggui thought about it. Last year, with the support of Jing Yanguang and others, he not only ascended to the throne, but also firmly severed relations with the Khitan. Feng Dao always nagged and persuaded to be kind to the people. It's really pedantic, it's really wise to send you to be the assassin of Dengzhou. It's not that I haven't read the history books, didn't the ancient Ming monarchs always tax when they had no money, and reduce taxes when they had money. Now there is a war, of course, taxes will be levied, and when the Khitan is defeated and the world is unified in the future, it will not be too late to reduce taxes. Besides, the purpose of collecting taxes is not to raise money and rations. Now that the battle has been won, Dajin has finally taken off the hat of humiliation, who should be next? Liu Zhiyuan...
----------------------
Although the food is not delicious and the wine is not mellow and delicious, Ma Yun eats quite refreshingly, of course, the main reason is that he has just walked for two hours, he is faltering, hungry, and everything he eats is fragrant. Ma Yun was eating and drinking, and when he was complacent, he suddenly thought of one thing: he didn't bring any money.
Ma Yun has been penniless since he was robbed, although he borrowed some money from Zhao Pervert the day before yesterday, but this guy is so slamming the door that he only has enough money to buy two clothes, and now he has no dime in his pocket.
Ma Yun secretly cheered himself up and said: It doesn't matter, after all, we have crossed over, haven't we seen a pig's bristle or a pig's run?
Ma Yun looked at the people coming and going in the inn at this time, and was about to swatt a fly and put it in the bowl, when he suddenly heard a person over there: "Shopkeeper, look at your dish, what is this black and slimy thing?" ”
As he spoke, the man used chopsticks to pick out something from the plate that Ma Yun looked familiar to him - flies.
Ma Yun glanced at the man approvingly, and said in his heart: The hero sees the same thing.
But when he saw the shopkeeper walking out in a hurry, he didn't speak, but just glanced at the guy who had been standing at the door. The guy immediately said: "Guest officer, I'm afraid this fly is not in the dish, our dish has always been clean and hygienic." ”
The diner said angrily: "It's not that your dishes are not clean, is it that Lao Tzu is not clean." ”
The guy smiled and looked scowling, and continued: "You are clean or not, please stretch out your hand to know." ”
The diner was stunned and speechless.
The shopkeeper sneered at this time, and with a wave of his hand, two strong men came over next to him, pulling the man and walking out. The shopkeeper arched his hand to the guests in the hall and said: "I'm sorry to disturb you, the small shop is small and weak, and it really can't stand people to eat for nothing, please understand." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a humane in the hall: "Shopkeeper Wang, you shouldn't eat for nothing, you are very right to deal with it like this." ”
Ma Yun looked at the shopkeeper in a daze, and then looked at the shopkeeper who returned to the front of the hall under the pillar, and said in his heart: I thought that this shopkeeper was welcoming guests, but it turned out that he was actually monitoring diners. Damn, these ancient people are too good.
Hearing the screams of eating white food outside the door, Ma Yun's heart sank, and he glanced at the people in the store again. At this time, two scholars walked in, one of them was dressed in purple, and he wanted to tie a green cloud belt, and he also wore a jasper pendant, which looked like a rich child. Ma Yun frowned, and came up with another clever plan.
I saw Ma Yun gently clear his throat, luck dantian, and read aloud: "The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are like this... Bianzhou Road. Looking at Bianjing, hesitating, this... Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. ”
After the recitation, he looked at the two scholars with blank eyes, and said in his heart: We are doing this word well, according to common sense, how can you two also take care of a meal. Unexpectedly, the two looked at Ma Yun expressionlessly, and one of them scolded in a low voice, "What bullshit poetry, Bianjing is flat, how can there be any mountains and rivers on the surface", ignored Ma Yun, and went straight to the table in front of him and sat down.
Ma Yun couldn't help but sigh, other people who travel through it, just recite a poem and immediately enter the phase, why is it my turn to read, I don't even care about a meal, the sky, the earth.
