Chang'an Da Nei, specially used to store the forbidden things in the Chong Room Palace. Huang Chao, whose face was a little yellowed and emaciated, was also looking at the pavilions and cabinets covered with silk cloth.

"Saint, this is the dragon anointment wine offered by Wuyi Mountain when the Xian Temple was in the past. It is to hunt and kill the local pig Po Long and extract the essence of wine, known as black as pure lacquer, and it is refreshing to drink. ”

A fat white official with a rickety body followed the introduction with small steps.

"Xian Temple is regarded as a treasure, set as the top grade of wine, collected in the gold bottle, only private banquet distinguished guests are different, the party to the room of Jiuhua, set up a purple cocoon seat, must use the white jade cup. Now there are only three altars left. ”

"Take it."

Huang Chao nodded a little tiredly.

Immediately, another internal official brought over a purple wood luodian flower branch box and said carefully

"This is why when Daqin came to envoy, he also added pills to the bottom of the enshrinement, which can relieve dysentery, wind paralysis, thirst, and headache, and is known as the medicine of all spirits."

"Take it too."

Huang Chao still cherishes words like gold, as if saying one more word will cost him a lot of energy.

"Shengshang, this is the five sons of Shouxian Pill offered by Zhang Guo, a stranger in the Kaiyuan Dynasty, known as the solid foundation of Peiyuan, adding essence and marrow, and soothing kidney qi. It is known as the special recipe for raising heirs of the heavenly family"

Then someone brought a jade bottle from the wooden plate like flowing water.

"Is that really the case?"

Huang Chao was slightly moved and said a few more words. During this period of time, in order to have more children to consolidate the country's foundation, he worked the new concubines in the palace.

However, after all, he is over fifty years old, and after a long time, he is inevitably a little overwhelmed; Just yesterday, when I was playing with a pair of ministers' sisters in the soup pool of the Ganlu Palace, I was actually top-heavy and out of breath for a while.

So he had to ask Lin Yan to dispose of everyone present, so as not to have any unfavorable rumors from flowing out. Then, he ordered to search the palace for a remedy. At least his two children are still young, and he still has a lot of things to do.

If he collapses at this time or lingers on the sickbed, don't say that he is the cheap son-in-law who is far away in Jinghu and is hidden and taboo; Even Shang Rang, the head of the city's ministers and the second member of the long-term rebel army, or the sons and nephews of the Huang family, are not so reassuring.

With this in mind, he immediately drank the dark and bitter dragon ointment wine with a white jade cup after he tried the medicine for a while; After only a few moments, the heat rose from the internal organs, spread to the limbs and bones, and became relaxed and refreshing all over the body.

Then he took a bottom pill with this honey water, and in just a moment, even the pain and wind paralysis of years of fighting on his body suddenly disappeared. And after taking the Wuzi Shouxian Pill again, the kidney water, which was originally a little weak, also began to become full.

At this time, the head of the internal officials next to him asked in detail very intimately:

"Does the Holy One want to announce that people will come and serve one or two?"

It's just that he hasn't waited for the concubine who has come to summon him, but he first saw Lin Yan, the envoy of the inner camp watching the army with a somewhat hurried face.

"Holy Jin'an, Brother Hao. Ah no. It was General Zuo Wuwei's department, and suddenly there was a change and went south. ”

- I'm the dividing line -

And on the third day of the Chinese New Year in Gangneung City. Zhou Huai'an, who took the women of the family to various departments to accept group worship and discussions, and gave some New Year speeches, received an unexpected news.

"There are hundreds of people from the old dynasty clan of Luodu, and they are in the land of the two mountains, but they are heard by."

Zhou Huai'an paused for a moment, and suddenly decided to pack up and send the Tang clan over, what does Huang Chao mean by this. Then he decided.

"Then send them all to be reformed through self-supporting labor."

"Jiangdong's money Gumei has an urgent report. There are those who claim to be the general of Zuo Weiwei, Zhang Zimian, who raised troops in the territory of Kuozhou (now Kuocang County), and have successively defeated the Tutuan, Zhenshu and Yiying soldiers of Qu (Quzhou), Wu (Jinhua), and Taiwan (Linhai) prefectures."

Then Mi Po handed over another wooden clip.

"Chen Yan, the Fujian observer who was attacking Mingzhou (now Ningbo), heard that the back road was cut off, and he was demoralized and had no intention of fighting again, and was invited to attack at the foot of Tiantai Mountain on the way back, and retreated all the way to Wenzhou."

"Chen Yan himself was seriously injured and couldn't take care of things for the time being, and most of the people under his command were killed, injured and scattered, and now Qian Gumei was elected to maintain the local situation. Please also ask the metropolitan governor to show the follow-up way to stay. ”

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but be surprised, this Qian Poliu is really the son of luck of the times, even after being changed in disguise by himself and cutting off the possibility of rising in Hangzhou, he can still seize the opportunity to control the situation in Wenzhou.

According to Qian Gumei's instructions and suggestions in the urgent report, he hoped to obtain follow-up support from the Lingnan side from the sea, gain a firm foothold in the local area, and serve as a support point for wedged into the war between Jiangdong and Zhejiang.

Or simply lead troops south, abandon Yongjia, Angu, Hengyang and other places in Wenzhou, which are located in the plains that are obviously not conducive to defense, and retreat through the water pass to enter Fujian and then plan for follow-up matters.

Here, Qian Gumei also vaguely put forward a conjecture; Because Chen Yan exhausted the 30,000 troops raised by the Fujian elites, only a few thousand people are now gathered in Wenzhou. Therefore, the five states of Fujian today are already in a relatively empty state.

Zhou Huai'an thought about it for a while, but then verbally replied:

"Grant what he asks, but everything must be done prudently, now that the local people have a firm foothold and control the situation, I will let Lao Guan lead the troops to exert pressure and contain from the Jizhou side."

"There is no problem with the support by sea, and the Guangzhou side will soon be able to form a ship group and gather the corresponding materials and equipment, and the personnel will be selected from the new soldiers in Chaoshan."

"But the follow-up matters in Fujian will be delayed, and the Taiping army does not need to take advantage of the danger of others, and can also seize the world in a dignified manner. Sauromon who went north has not returned, so he can return to his hometown to find out the situation. ”

Then Zhou Huai'an added.

In addition, I made a special trip to tell him that the most valuable thing in the five prefectures of Fujian in the metropolitan governor's office is not the local hukou land, but the ports and commercial ports along the coast of Fujian. There's no need to get bogged down in the mountains of the Inland for this. ”

After dealing with these temporary and unexpected matters, Shu Shi Lu Yan continued to report.

"Governor, it's time to preach to the Confessors who have come recently."

Only then did Zhou Huaian remember that there was another such arrangement. Then he drove the crowd to the auditorium of the Great Seminar.

I am afraid that there are not four or five hundred people in such a gathering, and countless faces that are old and young, childish, nervous or worried, awe-inspiring, eager to try or have anxiety, just focus on themselves, and try to suppress their voices to make a low buzzing sound;

People can't help but think of the past when I was invited by my alma mater to come to the stage in the early years and gave a speech as a volunteer teacher in the mountainous area. But I also have a different sense of accomplishment about the fate and future of others.

However, Zhou Huai'an threw away the content of several different forms of speech that had been written by the local language group, and asked people to obliquely print a line of large characters on the wall board behind him: "Fighting righteousness is mostly dog slaughtering, and useless is Confucianism." ”

As soon as this group ridicule sentence was written, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and there was an uproar in the crowd and its burst. Pi Rixiu and the others on the side basically became bitter and helpless. It wasn't until after a moment of silence that Zhou Huai'an spoke again:

"I'm not talking about any one person, but all of you here, and most of the people in the world. In my opinion, it's useless waste and weak chickens. ”

"Because compared to those who come from humble backgrounds and are happy to take revenge, most of you are the more you read, the more you think, and the less you actually do. Or do nothing. ”

"You can't carry it on your shoulders, you can't carry it in your hands, you can't farm and weave cloth to provide food and clothing, you can't trade and circulate goods, you can't communicate with each other, and you won't have the courage and martial arts to raise a knife and spear to protect the township and even the country."

"Or will you only spend your days in the empty space of talking, to talk about righteousness or needle the evils of the times, and to satisfy a momentary sense of moral superiority and vanity. Or do you have an empty conscience and morality, but you are helpless against the ugliness and evils of time, and you can only use your mouth to denounce it? ”

"In this way, even if you read a lot of the saint's book, it will not help. Even the more you learn, the more confused your mind becomes, and the more you don't know what to do, and where to go. ”

"As for the career? Isn't the easiest thing in the world to be an official, a mediocre official, a corrupt official, and a traitorous official? As long as you try your best to be better than the superior and try your best to exploit the lower, you will be the most appreciated by the king and the superior officials in the world. ”

"Speaking of which, the best in this regard are not the eunuchs in the palace. The way of the world has changed, and the era when you can get an official position or be lucky enough to be left and right by just relying on lip service or self-righteous reasoning is no longer there. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Huai'an ordered someone to write a line of big words on the wall panel behind him again:

And in another, larger auditorium, "Please go elsewhere for promotion and wealth, and don't enter the door if you are greedy for life and fear of death." Under the slogan, a group of newly graduated students are also waving their arms and raising their hands and swearing loudly:

"Who is our enemy?"

"It is the faint monarch and corrupt officials who have created endless suffering in the world, the family gate valve who holds and monopolizes the power position in the world and the way to advancement, and the powerful family who supports and follows their generation to fight for the tiger."

"What if we don't rise up and resist?"

"These jackals, tigers and leopards will knock out the bones and suck the marrow, squeeze out the last trace of our flesh, and then point to our bones and say, look, this is the cheap bones and mud legs that deserve to be cattle and horses forever."

- I'm the dividing line -

In Jinguan City, Tian Lingzi, who had just made a wish from the Dacisheng Temple and donated a lot of treasures and treasures, also embarked on the road back in the front and back of the honor guard.
