Chapter 41 Beigu

At the end of each dynasty, it is often accompanied by the collapse of various ancestral systems. With the failure of the reform that began in the Great Xia Dynasty, the struggle between the old and new parties intensified, and the morale that was still relatively restrained and heavy in the early part of the middle of the Great Xia began to decline. Moreover, because of the 500-year-long rich life, the atmosphere of Great Xia at the moment has been biased towards indulgence and pleasure.

Shilin officialdom, including the princes here, they don't know how precious everything they have now is, and how much the Great Xia soldiers, under the oppression of the nobles and the lowly, have thrown millions of corpses to defend this civilization. Can you really be like the Song Dynasty in another time and space, under the pressure of various forces, you can also come to Yashan once? Let the Chinese nation continue to be in darkness for 600 years? How heavy it was and suffocating!

Since you are in it, it is difficult to see the road behind you clearly. Some things are measured from previous years, and the farther you look, the more you can feel the depth of the wound.

At this time, the Roman Empire had collapsed, the Western Roman Empire had been completely barbarized, and few nobles were literate.

One by one, they nested in the damp, dirty, and smelly stone castle and gnawed on the bloody beasts, grabbing raw beans with their hands and eating them.

Ordinary people are not as good as a dog in Great Xia. The Eastern Roman Empire was already struggling, with numerous mutinies, numerous bankruptcies, and bankruptcies. Even because of the horse race, the two sides fought and could make the emperor step down. Persia has become a thing of the past, and the three major leaders were locked up by Helian Yuhai and wild beasts of Yan State, and became the pets of Yan soldiers to watch.

The once rich countries of North Africa were torn apart, the hydraulic projects built by the Roman Empire were all abandoned, and the once rich land gradually turned into deserts. Only the abundance and dazzling of Great Xia made people believe that such a country once existed!

At this moment, Jiankang City is bathing in the few years left of the most prosperous civilization in the entire Middle Ages, the entire earth, and there is no feeling that the Yan Kingdom in the north is accumulating the power of destruction, and in the court, this key response, the few people who hold all this imperial power do not feel it at all.

Gan Tang's inner torment and pain can only be borne silently by himself. Sometimes I feel like I'm changing, but more often I feel helpless.

Chai Xin saw that there was no good result today, stopped the dispute among the ministers, looked at Di Xin and asked: "Chengde Gong, I see that the prince is a talent, is there a marriage contract?" ”

"Back to the official's house, I was going to tell him a family affair, but this kid said that he wanted to learn from Huo Hu, start a career first, and then start a family. To pioneer the removal of the Tartars before starting a family. ”

"Good! Men have ambitions in all directions, but starting a family and starting a career are not in conflict. Di Bo will not allow others for the time being, wait for two days to call the Duchess of Chengde into the palace to discuss with the queen, and see if there is fate with the princess! What is this called, oh, like the king of Xiangyang said, it is called free love. Hahaha. ”

Di Xin was overjoyed and said, "The minister will let my wife enter the palace tomorrow to discuss this matter with the queen." ”

"Good! That's it for family matters! ”

"There was no result in the peace talks with Yan State last time, and this time it was agreed with Yan State that our dynasty will send ministers to Luoyang to negotiate."

"Wang Chun's intentions."

"For the matter of going to Yan for peace talks, Wang Mingzhi is the main envoy of the peace talks, Wu Lin is the deputy envoy, and the two of you are fully responsible for the peace talks, and you will leave for Luoyang to negotiate peace with Yan in three days. Hope for a good outcome! ”

"King Chai Mingyuan is the Governor of Singapore. King Chong'an was named the Governor of Indonesia. King Fu and all the family members of King Chong'an accompanied him, and three days later he set off for his post. ”

"The prince of Fengfu is the crown prince, and he will stay in the palace from today onwards. Feng Song Ci and Xie Yan were the prince's concubines, and they entered the palace to teach the prince his studies. ”

"After the crown prince ascended the throne, Song Ci, Jia Ru, Wang Mingzhi, Chen Yizhong, and Yu Jie were the ministers of Gu Ming. If Song Ci cannot be a director, Gan Tang will take over. ”

"Feng Song Ci is the Taishi, Jia Ru is the Taifu, Yu Jie is the Taibao, Wang Mingzhi is the left prime minister, Chen Yizhong is the right prime minister, Yang Jieliang is the Shaobao, Han Zhong is the Jianghuai defense envoy, the official department is still the secretary Shi Chong, and the military department is the secretary Zhao Chongjiu as the deacon of the political hall and handles state affairs."

"I set aside four secret decrees, and on that day after I returned to heaven, the four secret decrees were read out in the government hall

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The government affairs hall shall be carried out according to the order. The four secret decrees were kept by the queen Xie Daoqing, Song Ci, and Gan Tang, and the other was hidden after Zhengda Guangbian. ”

In the fourth year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, the third day of February in the eleventh year of Suzong of Southern Xia.

On the mountain road more than 200 miles west of Beiping, a convoy was braving the wind and snow and trudging the rugged official road.

Once again, getting the fallen carriage out of the snow pit, Danba lifted the mask from his mouth and exhaled a heavy breath.

He now feels more and more that Gan Tang sent himself this time to point out his coolies! In order to facilitate his own protection of Lord Wang Mingzhi, he also asked the Great Xia Emperor for himself to have the title of a forbidden general. He is the prince of Tibet, and he wants the title of a fart general.

A few years ago, I walked this road myself, and the road was still smooth and wide at that time, and the damn Yan people ruined the road in a few years. Hit the shore from Bohai Bay, and his role was no different from that of cattle and horses, and even the short-distance weight was still on top of the cattle and horses.

There was no way, even Wang Mingzhi gave up the carriage and trekked on foot with everyone. It's just that Wu Lin's old dog sat in the car and didn't move!

Danba was so angry that he had to find a dog to vent his anger.

At this time, someone approached with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and said respectfully: "General, not far away, it is Handan, where can we rest and recuperate, and continue to hurry when the wind and snow have passed." ”

The person who came over to talk was Yelu Linshu, the deputy envoy sent by Yan State to lead the way, this guy was actually the younger brother of Ye Luhong, the Taifu of Yan State. A few days ago, in an inn, he was beaten by Danba, and then locked by the urine bucket overnight. At that time, he didn't know how many times he thought about it, and gritted his teeth and swore an oath: "If you don't take revenge, you won't be a person." ”

However, from that day on, every night before resting, Danba had to ask him out of the camp and fight him, and the two sides agreed that whoever lost would hold the toilet at night. Seven or eight days passed------。

Seeing that Danba only cared about patting away the snow on his hands and ignoring himself at all, Yelu Linshu leaned forward and said on his knees: "I have rushed over in advance to prepare wine and food, and recruited women who can sing and dance, and then let the general see the customs of our northerners." ”

Danba glanced at him this time, sneered and asked, "Insight? ”

"No, no, no, it's tasting, tasting!"

"I haven't eaten the meat of the little girl on the prairie yet, I must taste it this time, hahahaha------。" After speaking, he put on a new mask, covered his mouth and nose, and looked like he didn't want to say much.

Hearing that Danba asked for human flesh to eat, Yelu Linshu was so frightened that his mouth opened wide, and his legs trembled, fortunately he didn't offend the other party very much, otherwise he wouldn't have become the other party's appetizer in the past few days. Yelu Linshu, who is not very familiar with Chinese, wants to explain, but he just doesn't dare to go up.

More than ten days ago, when I just left Beijing, this guy was like a vicious wolf who chooses people to eat. And now, it has evolved into a pug that wags its tail and begs for pity.

Of course, this is only in front of Danba. In the face of others, even Wang Mingzhi, Wu Lin and Yan Guozheng, Zhang Xiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, would still show his irritable and arrogant nature.

This is of course the result of Danba's continuous training in the past ten days. But the deeper reason stems from the strong worship of individual force among the people of the various tribes of the grassland who live in harsh conditions.

It was making Zhang Xiang try to prevent Yelu Linshu from losing face in front of the Xia people. However, the result obtained was that Zhang Xiang's face was swollen for three full days. So far, the swelling has not been reduced.

Crunch, crunch, crunch------ on the white wasteland, the sound of mechanical and boring footsteps, like a never-ending lullaby, constantly deepened the fatigue in the hearts of everyone in the mission.

Tokyo City, one of the four capitals of Great Xia; Luoyang can be called a veritable model of the ancient capital.

The tall city walls, the forced pattern, and the beautiful environment can match the status of the capital of a country no matter how you look at it.

It's February weather

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The impact of the Xiaoice period on this northern city seems to be more obvious. The snow is falling, and most of the grassland rulers in the city are at home, and most of the people who work hard to make a living on the street are mostly Han family children.

This Ge Yi is dressed in a linen shirt, and his hair is tied to the right side, and at first glance, it is no different from a remote and poor small county town in Daxia.

However, every time they sit and meet, they give each other a lot of clothes that do not cover their bodies, their boots do not avoid the cold, they have tattoos on their faces, and they are sad and helpless, but they are far better than the southerners.

Of course, not all of the Han people running around the city are so embarrassed, and there are some people who are well-dressed and full of energy.

It's just that everyone is afraid of this kind of goods, and after bypassing it far away, most of them will have to scold a few words shamelessly.

Yu Li is receiving this kind of treatment now.

But unlike those who have long been accustomed to being minions, Yu Li is very angry about this.

This son is the eye of the new science list of Dayan Kingdom, and he is literary and elegant, shouldn't everyone envy and worship him when he sees him? How do you treat yourself like an enemy one by one!

If you are not in a hurry to go back to discuss important matters, you will have to grab a few 'slaves' and whip a few lashes.

This way back to the backyard of Luoyang Mansion with a sullen breath, Yu Li inevitably had some light and heavy on his hands, and the mountain that slammed the gate sounded.

I only heard the sound of scolding from inside: "Whose house is running out of water, or is the old man in the family braided, even if someone in the family is dead, he can't go to this idle place to tear down the ya!" ”

Yu Li responded in a rough voice: "It's me, Yu Li." ”

When Yu Li arrived in the room, he bowed down and reported: "Master Lu, I just heard that Nanxia sent an envoy to Luoyang, and at the end of the month, he wants to reconcile with Dayan!" I also heard that the envoys sent by the Southern Xia were less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yin Lu Shixiang, the former Great Xia State and now the Luoyang Mansion of Yan State, changed color in an uproar.

Due to the news brought back by the envoys of the peace talks sent by the Yan State to the Southern Xia last time, the Southern Xia peace talks had an additional condition that the Imperial Family of Great Xia and the Empress Lu of the original Jingzong Emperor who were imprisoned by the Yan State should be returned.

As the father of the former queen, the Yan people have always treated the descendants of Jingzong preferentially to win over the Han scholars. If Queen Lu returns south, Lu Shixiang will lose its usefulness, and during this period, Lu Shixiang also has the idea of sending his little granddaughter into the palace to wait for Helian Kuo, but Helian Kuo only matches his little granddaughter with the thousand commanders who defend the city as a concubine.

Lu Shixiang was silent for a long time, and he set his eyes on the rich scribe beside him, his eyes full of inquiry.

The scribe first glanced at Yu Li, and then said: "In my opinion, this is an opportunity for us, if we can take the opportunity to get rid of the envoy of Southern Xia, then the imperial court and Southern Xia will never turn ------around."

"It's easy to say!"

Yu Li sneered: "The envoys sent by Nanxia must be well protected, and our dynasty will send people to accompany them, just rely on us weak scholars!" Where are we going to find a bunch of fighters! ”

After hearing this, the rich scribe changed his words and said: "There is no need to make a big move, we only need to design and kill a few famous and surnamed, and it is enough!" ”

Lu Shixiang said: "This matter has to be hidden, it can't involve you and me, just kill a few irrelevant Han people, kill the envoy of a country?" If the imperial court turns its face and denies people during the bureau, and hands us over to Nanxia to atone, it will be troublesome. ”

At this time, Yu Li's eyes rolled and said: "Ximen, which Hesheri doesn't have an elite in his hand?" It's better to send him out, the news of Yanxia's peace talks, only at the top level, I don't think Hesheri knows, as long as the news is released to him, a hundred miles to the east, there is a group of Southern Xia merchants with a large number of jewels, come to Luoyang to sell, I don't believe that he will not take the bait. A few days ago, the barbarian let the granddaughter of the boss come forward to accompany the guests, why not take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone! ”

It turned out that a few days ago, the guard of the west gate of Luoyang, the commander Hesheri was feasting at home, and Lu Shixiang's granddaughter came forward to accompany his boss, Lu Shixiang's granddaughter was humiliated, and escaped from the house in the banquet and ran naked on the street. For a while, it was a joke in Luoyang.

When Lu Shixiang heard Yu Li's words, his old face turned red.
