Chapter 425: Picking up ashes
- Kyoto, Wakoku
A group of bloody warriors walked down the road, followed by a long group of captives, each of whom was tied together with a wooden root to prevent them from escaping.
"Lord Guan Bai has arrived! Lord Sekibai has arrived! ”
With a sigh of yo, the people around him ducked to the side and knelt down, and the leader of the group of samurai said, "Let's get out of the way!" ”
Saying that, this group of samurai pressed the captives and knelt on the ground, and the samurai looked at the ministers who were riding tall horses and dressed brightly, and they wanted to say in their hearts that it was natural to say that they were not envious, but at this time it was not the later generation of samurai, and the status and tools of the samurai were no different, and the gap between them and the public family was huge.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and one person lifted the curtain, looked at the samurai who were kneeling on the ground, covered his nose, and said, "I said that there was a smell of blood, and it turned out that there were samurai there." ”
The samurai at the head looked up at the man and said, "Lord Sekihaku, it's rude!" ”
Guan Bai Fujiwara glanced at the man faithfully, and said with a sigh, "It turns out to be Zhengsheng, what are you going to do?" ”
Ping Zhengsheng replied, "We have just exterminated a group of thieves and are preparing to return to the Emperor. ”
"So, it's the blood of thieves, it's dirty... Especially you, it's not good to walk in the capital covered in blood. Fujiwara said as he looked at the man kneeling behind Heimasamori.
Ping Zhongsheng raised his head and said, "These are the blood of thieves, the glory of our samurai. ”
"Shut up, Zhongsheng!" Ping Zhengsheng scolded, bowed his head to Fujiwara faithfully and said, "The child is ignorant and rude, please forgive me!" ”
"Father!" Ping Zhongsheng was unconvinced, seeing his father like this, but he could only bow his head and admit his mistake.
Fujiwara squinted at them, shook his head, and said, "It's really a group of people who only cause trouble, ahhh ”
The convoy continued to move forward, Ping Zhongsheng looked at the convoy viciously, and snorted, "People who only know how to talk loudly, what qualifications do they have to say about us!" ”
Ping Zhengsheng frowned and said, "Be careful!" ... Let's go and see the Emperor for his life. ”
In the palace of the Wa Kingdom, two people who were turning the clouds and rain finally slowly stopped breathing.
"Father-in-law, you have worked hard."
A very beautiful woman said as she helped an old man to lie down.
"Zhangzi, my sweetest daughter." The old man stroked the girl's body and muttered.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you." A waiter walked in and said.
"Oh, good." Shirakawa got dressed under Zhangzi's service, walked out, and went to the Imperial Palace to meet Heimasamori, while Zhangzi also changed his clothes.
Because the weather was still a little cold at this time, they were wearing the latest cotton cloth, which was very valuable.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is looking for you." A maid whispered.
"Okay, I got it." Zhangzi nodded and said.
This Zhangzi is Fujiwara Zhangzi, the queen of Toba, and is also the adopted daughter of Shirakawa.
It's just that only a few people know that this young and beautiful Fujiwara Zhangzi is not only Shirakawa's adopted daughter, but also a tool for Shirakawa to vent his beastly desires.
In the imperial room, Bai He praised a few words of Pingzhengsheng, and then asked, "I heard that Song Xue has spread in four places recently, but is there such a thing?" ”
Ping Zhengsheng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But there is such a thing, Song Xue is broad and profound, and there is no class of teaching, but in recent years, it has spread to four places. ”
Bai He snorted, and then said, "I heard that there is a saying in Song Xue, called... What kind of prince will Xiangning have? ”
"Wow!" Everyone fell to their knees, their heads bowed, not daring to say a word.
Bai He snorted, "I heard, this is what the Han people said a thousand years ago, this is a question, then I can answer, there is a kind!" The son of the king is king! The son of Hou is Hou! This is what was determined in the past life and cannot be changed! ”
As he spoke, Bai He's voice became louder and louder, and he even roared in the back.
Everyone didn't dare to speak up, for fear of being affected by Baihe's anger.
Bai He squinted his eyes and said, "There are many good things in Song Studies, such as Buddhism, but there are also a lot of dross that is not good for the Wang family, most of them are from the concession, you say... What is this concession really good? Or is it bad? ”
A minister said, "Your Majesty, this concession was originally taken by the Marquis of Pingyin of the Song Kingdom, and I think it can be confiscated back, and as for the goods that are now in the concession, it should also be confiscated!" Wechen is willing to do this! ”
This is the person who saw the prosperity of the concession and wanted to make a fortune from it.
"Your Majesty, no!" When Ping Zhengsheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "If it is confiscated for no reason, wouldn't it be a war against the Marquis of Peace?" If we are so good at fighting, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our country to have a peaceful life. ”
"Father, if there is a war, wouldn't the strength of our martial arts family..."Ping Zhongsheng said in a low voice.
"Shut up!" Ping Zhengsheng shouted.
Baihe pondered for a while and said, "It is unkind to punish without telling him, first pass the edict to the Marquis of Song Pingyin, you can buy and sell goods in the concession, but you are not allowed to open the school without permission, if there are still people in the concession after a month, there are still people discussing political affairs and spreading doctrines without permission, and our country will take back the concession."
In addition, it was decreed that all books should not have any anti-royal remarks, and if any, those who spread the reading and selling of books should be beheaded!
Finally, I had a nightmare a few days ago, it should be because someone is killing, from now on, reiterate the ban on killing, except for cattle, horses, dogs, monkeys, chickens, pigs, sheep, fish, etc., all hunters and fishermen must hand over their bows and arrows, fishing nets and burn. ”
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
On the one hand, because Buddhism does not advocate killing, on the other hand, there are also reasons to prevent epidemics, and the ancient Japanese people feel that people who often kill and eat meat are more likely to transmit diseases, which is actually because the ancient Japanese people do not pay much attention to hygiene, and often eat raw food, but in the eyes of the Japanese people, it is because of the killing, and therefore, the hunters, butchers, fishermen, etc. of the Japanese are listed in the lowly industry, and they are untouchable people, such people, Naturally, there will be no officials in the DPRK to speak for them.
- Settsu Concession
After two years of development, the concession of Settsu has begun to take shape, you can see two or three storey small buildings everywhere, neat streets, cement floors, rows of neat pines and cypresses, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, in the commercial street, there are neat storefronts that cannot be seen at a glance, each store is hung with plaques, and the flags stretching out of the store door are written on the main goods such as "cloth", "wine", "rice" and "rouge".
The pedestrians on the road can not see that this is a Japanese city from the dress, the head shape, most of the people's hairstyles have changed from the Japanese one-hair, Benduo bun to all kinds of heads, and even some rich and noble families began to wear Chinese-style hair crowns, if you don't hear the people around you are speaking the Japanese language, saying that this is Kaifeng will have someone to believe.
Looking down from the top of the concession, you can also see the ships coming in and out of the harbor, and the main road is also one horse-drawn carriage after another, and I don't know how many goods and coins are traded here every day, and the concession has gradually become the economic center of the whole country.
In the west of the concession, is the political center of the concession, most of the institutions and even the military camp are stationed here, because the power of the Japanese state in the concession can not enter, many people who are dissatisfied with the Japanese king or have friction with the local magnates have fled here, there is a building here, on the four characters of Tianxiang College, here is the spread center of the new Song Dynasty.
At this time, a group of people surrounded Jiang De walking in the academy, Jiang De's right hand was holding a soft and boneless hand, and the owner of the hand was Yuzao, a soft girl from the Japanese country who had married Jiang De.
"My lord, since we spread the New Song Dynasty, every day there will be students from all over the country to study, most of them are from commoners, but there are also sons of ministers." Jin Fushi said in front of the left.
"The son of the minister? There are many rebellious and justified arguments in our New Song Dynasty, and these sons of ministers can also accept such views? Jiang De asked with a smile.
Jin Fushi smiled bitterly and said, "Naturally, there are many people who are unacceptable, and there will be polemics every day, but fortunately, under our control, they are just polemics, and no more fierce conflicts have broken out." ”
"It's better to discuss it, the more you argue, the clearer the truth will be." Jiang De glanced back and said, "This college is doing well, and the environment is also very good, it's really hard to see that it has only been two years since the start of construction here." ”
"This is the concession, you have to obey the will of His Majesty the Emperor and go outside to carry it out, this place is not under the control of the Emperor!" Suddenly, a roar came from the house on the side, Jiang De frowned, and from the window, he could see that a group of people were gathered inside, and they were arguing fiercely.
"The edict of the White River has arrived?" Jiang De asked.
"I just arrived yesterday, and after the Venerable Master entered the concession, he made a big publicity, and many people knew that Baihe did not allow the spread of New Song Studies." Jin Fushi nodded.
"Oh? It's quite fast, have you found out about Baihe and Zhangzi? ”
"Where do you need to check, I'm afraid that in addition to Toba, even a dog in the palace already knows about this ugly thing." Jin Fushi said with a look of disdain, as a Korean, he looked down on the Japanese people in his heart, and now the matter of Baihe and Zhangzi further confirmed the view in his heart that the Japanese people do not know etiquette and law.
"Toba must be made known, and Toba must be furious!" Jiang De's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Chong Guan is angry, Toba is not like Baihe, he lacks courage, he has always been a puppet, if there is not enough anger and people who support him, even if he knows about it, he will only swallow his anger, which is inconsistent with our interests." ”
"My subordinates understand!" Jin Fushi nodded.
"At all times, righteousness is very important, we are not barbarians, we can't be punished without guilt, doesn't Baihe like to give bans? Remembering bittersweet and thinking is such a sharp weapon to be used, especially those who are untouchable, they must have resentment in their hearts, most of these people live in hardship, dare to fight for their lives, and want to incite it. Jiang De continued, "And those businessmen who have taken refuge in us, it's time to start up, and after making so much money, it's time to do something." ”
Yuzao looked at the man in front of him, his face was intoxicated, I don't know why, Yuzao always felt that listening to these political things was extremely interesting, and even watching the training was more interested than the flower carving of the general.
- Heiankyo
"Your Majesty, the weather has been warm recently, and there are already flowers blooming, would you like to go and see one or two?" A waiter said with his head bowed.
Toba, who was reading a book, raised his head and said with a smile, "Okay, Zhangzi likes flowers the most, let's go, let's go see how the flowers bloom first, if it's good, I'll take Zhangzi to see it together." ”
Toba happily came to the garden of the palace, and sure enough, he saw a sea of flowers, he happily walked into the field, and picked flowers in a low voice, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he imagined the scene of Zhangzi seeing his flowers, with a sweet face.
At this time, Toba heard a whisper, and he looked for it, but saw two maids squatting together, discussing something in a low voice while fertilizing the flowers and plants, and it seemed that they were lazy.
Toba was in a good mood and did not reprimand, but shook his head and prepared to leave, but a sentence shot into his head like an arrow.
"His Majesty the Emperor has summoned Lord Nakanomiya again, I heard..."
The next words, Toba can no longer hear, but what he is most afraid of is not being able to hear, countless associations appeared in his mind, he walked away quickly, the waiter who initially persuaded Toba looked at Toba's face was not quite right, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and then quickly returned to normal, and asked, "Your Majesty, is there any problem?" ”
Toba immediately said, "The Emperor. . . And the Middle Palace, where are they? ”
The waiters glanced at each other, Qi Qi lowered his head and did not dare to speak, Toba was more determined in his thoughts, he walked eagerly and quickly, the maids and waiters on the road were left behind by him, finally, he came to Zhangzi's dormitory, several guards and waiters wanted to come forward to stop him, he pushed him away, and walked into the room, but saw that Bai He and Zhang Zi had just put on their clothes, and Bai He didn't even tie his belt.
"Bastard! What do you come in for? Shirakawa shouted loudly, and Toba knelt on the ground with a nervous reflex, but then he felt that something was wrong, he raised his head to look at Shirakawa and Zhangzi, and asked, "This is the dormitory of my middle palace, I came to see Zhangzi, why is His Majesty the Emperor here?" ”
The muscles on Bai He's face twitched, and he said, "I'm here to see my daughter... Okay, I still have something to do, let's go first. ”
After Bai He finished speaking, he stood up, Ren Zhangzi helped him fasten his belt, Toba saw this scene, his hands were trembling with anger, Bai He saw him like this, but he felt extremely comfortable for some reason, he patted Toba's shoulder and said, "Zhangzi is pregnant, you have to protect her well, they are all fathers, don't be so unpresentable!" ”
Toba suddenly felt a lightning strike, and he looked at Zhangzi, who smiled at him, but he could feel that the smile was full of contempt.
Toba felt like the whole sky was darkening.
