A middle-aged man in the commander coughed and asked, "Which one is the commander of this ship?" ”

Lin Xi gave the helmsman Fei Zhishan a look, Fei Zhishan understood, and walked out: "A certain is the helmsman of this ship, what do you have to ask for?" ”

[Note: Please benefit, the words of "The Book of Rites, Qu Li", "Please start from the industry, please benefit from it."] It is to the effect that if you ask the gentleman a question in the book, you should stand up; Please repeat what you don't understand, and stand up.

In the past, Zheng Xuan noted: "Yes, it is said that you can't say it, and you want the teacher to say it." In other words, if you don't understand what the teacher is teaching, ask the teacher to explain it again. And in the middle, there is a certain etiquette. According to the Book of Rites, students must stand up and respectfully ask the teacher for advice. The term was later appropriated by Buddhism to refer to the fact that disciples have questions and ask for advice from the knowledge of great virtues and goodness and gain lessons from it, and "asking for benefits" is not very casual, at least it is also "asking for benefits with incense".

"Benefit" has the meaning of increase, but also has the meaning of progress. Therefore, please benefit is "ask the teacher to increase for me" and "ask the teacher to help me improve".

This "benefit" can refer to knowledge, but according to the nature of education in ancient China, it should be more of a study derived from the writings of sages to improve one's inner self-cultivation.

In this way, "please benefit" reflects a kind of academic spirit in it: I urgently need to improve, I deeply feel my own shortcomings, and the best way to improve and supplement is to ask the teacher for advice; My study is for myself, for my own "benefit", so I "please".

Here, the helmsman Fei Zhushan has a lower official rank than the capital, but the status of the Xuanyi is much higher than that of ordinary warships, if he has the rank of a helmsman, then he must bow to the officials who come from his subordinates to his superiors, and if so, then he should obey the dispatch of his superiors.

But in this way, it will make the Xuanyi more dangerous out of public opinion and the situation, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the shore, and the Xuanyi is only a few hundred people, so it needs special wisdom to deal with it.

In this way, the rudder head Fei Zhushan uses the word "benefit", which has three meanings:

First, it is qualitative, you are here to find help;

Second, we don't need to bow to you.

Third, if Lin Xi chooses to accept these people in the end, then on many occasions, it is also a polite and humble word, which means mutual benefit, and it can be more convenient to turn around. 】

Sure enough, when Fei Zhishan said such a thing, the person who came seemed a little unexpected, but soon, a tall officer still spoke:

"I heard that the Queen Mother is here, so I will wait for me to escort her."

As soon as this sentence came out, several officers apparently found confidence, and one of them went on to say in the appearance of a civil official:

"Yes, why don't you ask us to see the driver soon?"

Xuanyi and others, some people don't understand, but there are also people who understand.

In fact, Tu Xicai was originally a scholar, so when he heard it, he was furious, and couldn't help but say: "The Queen Mother, how can you see it when you want to see it." ”

The civil official coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, and then slowly spoke:

"Yes, although you are a small official, but also know the etiquette, I am a dignified meritorious work, now now the purge of the crown, adults, please also clean up the crown, now when the war is chaotic, change clothes and bathe, there is a lot of inconvenience, the matter is urgent, but the ceremony can not be spent.

Rao then rapped, why don't you bring the clean basin and clean the face to all Shangguan? ”

When Tu Xicai heard this, his nose was about to be crooked, and Mi Sanmei couldn't understand it, so she asked Zhen Niang: "Zhen Niang, what is that yellow-faced scribe so blind?" ”

The former county commander Jiang Chen directly explained in a low voice: "That scribe should be surnamed Rao, listen to his own words, about a lifter, they came to the name of escorting the Queen Mother, and named the Queen Mother to see the Queen Mother, Commander Tu said that the Queen Mother is not something you can see if you want to see it." ”

Mi Sanmei said: "That's it, why do they want to ask for wind and rain on our Xuanyi?!" ”

Jiang Chen said: "That's not what he said, after all, it's also Song Jun, but the tone is too unfriendly, Commander Tu gave them a hard word, this scribe's brain is quite fast, he first tidied up his clothes and hat, which is also a kind of etiquette." ”

Zhen Niang said: "That's also knowledgeable." ”

Jiang Chen pouted: "This, but you misunderstood, a scholar is the best at exploiting loopholes......"

Mi Sanmei said: "Mr. Jiang, you are also a scholar."

Jiang Chen said: "Yes, so I understand best, before, I was also like this." Let's put it this way, this Rao scribe misinterpreted the meaning of Tu Command by tidying up his clothes and crowns, and then asked the four or five commanders to also tidy up his clothes and crowns, and said that things were urgent and in power. ”

Only then did Zhen Niang know that she had been tricked, and said angrily: "Then what are they going to do with the water?" ”

Jiang Chen said: "This is the cunning of this Rao scribe, what is even more hateful, he asked Tu to command the fetch water and give them clean faces." ”

[Note: Cleansing can also be understood as washing the face, but in ancient times, cleansing was more ceremonial, including cleaning, beautifying, and even applying beauty products and fragrance products, just like now girls say that there is a huge difference between washing your face and putting on makeup. 】

Guo Yijiaotou stood up and said: "On our Xuanyi, there is no shortage of good water, but it can only be used by people on the Xuanyi." Each of your boats has been installed with a boiling sea god cauldron, and you can fetch water by yourself. If you come to ask for water to drink, it is not impossible. For the sake of defending the world......"

Rao Wenshi was furious: "Bold, let's escort the driver, how do you push back and hinder, don't you coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" ”

Lin Xi looked at these people and felt ridiculous, and asked the Empress Dowager Xiuniang in a low voice: "Are all your officers and soldiers here like this?" ”

Xiuniang's face was slightly red: "Shang~~~ people~~~, your words are bad!" How do you answer the slave family~~~"

Lin Xi looked at the embroidery girl's voice, and then she reacted, it turned out that this was already a routine, and she couldn't help but shake her head gently: "Xiuniang, if it is a responsible person, I have the heart to accept it, but these tempers, I am afraid that if I accept them, I also have different intentions." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiuniang half-bowed her head: "Hey, I don't know, it's just defenseless, it's difficult to control, and it's already rare to have the heart to help Han." Venerable Master, if you are able to forgive, you hope to be considerate. ”

Lin Xi said: "Okay, but they have to admit it." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiuniang said: "Or, I will come forward and let them respect your orders?" ”

Lin Xi said: "Don't, your face, if they accept it, they plan to continue to be in your court, ranking in the court, I have a different system here from yours, when the time comes, won't I deceive them." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiuniang said: "I am in a hurry to follow the power, and sometimes I can't take care of it much." ”

Lin Xi said: "The rules must be established at the beginning, otherwise it will be much more difficult to change"

......

After a few minutes, Rao felt that his heart had been hit by 10,000 points. When you are angry, you will come forward and accuse.

As soon as he moved his steps, Mi Sanmei shouted: "Stop, don't move without permission!" Otherwise, I will blame my third sister for breaking her face. ”

Lin Xi suddenly remembered that when someone came to pass the word, he said that these commanders wanted to return to the building, but now it seems that this is not the case, so he asked Hu Buqi: "Hu Buqi, didn't you just say that they heard that the Queen Mother is here and wants to return to the building?" Who said this? ”

Hu Buqi said: "It's the scribe." ”

Lin Xi asked: "Did you hear him say the word Guijian?" ”

Hu Buqi thought for a while, nodded and said, "I heard it with my own ears, and I didn't dare to lie." ”

Lin Xi said: "Then, you can ask this scribe, what is the reason why the preface does not match the afterword?" ”

Hu Buqi originally had a heart of apprehension (Note: sound tǎn tè, 忐, 忐忑, heart deficiency, cowardice, fear. - "Five-tone Collection Rhyme, Feeling Rhyme", uncertain, the meaning of seven up and eight down) is very good, but when I heard Lin Xi say "What is the reason", I was relieved, because if Lin Xi asked "What is the heart", it would be to find trouble for them, and now that I think about it, Lin Xi wants to figure out the reason for the matter. So he nodded, took half a step forward, and said: "This Rao Juren, just on the shore, you personally said that you want to be rebuilt, how can you come over, and you say that you want to escort and drive?" ”

Rao Juren said: "Yes, this is a one-and-two, two-and-one thing, we want to return to the building, and after the reconstruction, we will better escort it." But we have to know whose establishment it belongs to, so we must first meet the Queen Mother and the Emperor. ”

Lin Xi said: "Our Xuanyi is not in the establishment of the Song Army, and you can't return to build here." Okay, let's send it back first. ”

Mi Sanmei immediately shouted loudly: "Get off the boat!" ”

......

At this time, a herald came up and reported: "Commander Qi Tu, an old man who claims to be Wei Jie came to vote, saying that there are 100,000 urgent military intelligence reports. ”

Tu Xicai asked: "How did you come, how many people?" ”

The herald said: "A shadowless boat intercepted by our patrol ship, they were also straightforward at that time, and did not escape and hide. The number of people, an old man, a young man, four boys, six Han army oarsmen, and a shadowless boat full of boarding. ”

Tu Xicai said to Guo Yijiaotou: "Guo Jiaotou, what do you think? ”

Guo Yi said: "Come to vote at this time, so straightforward, if it is a killer, then it is either too white or too chicken thief." Heralds, where are they? ”

A water ghost next to the herald said: "The Shadowless Boat is tied to one of our patrol boats, and several people have searched their bodies and are detained in the patrol boats. ”

Guo Yi said: "Commander Tu, Mo Ruo brought a boy and an old man to be interrogated separately. ”

Tu Xicai said to the herald: "Do what Guo Jiaotou said"

After the herald received the order, he hurriedly left with the water ghost.

At this time, several Song Army commanders and Mi Sanmei quarreled.

Mi Sanmei forcibly wanted to expel these commanders, but Mi Sanmei beat the scribes, but two of the commanders were powerful, and they knocked down three or four Xuanyiwei soldiers one after another.

Mi Sanmei was furious: "Fire Yasha, prepare a bazooka for me...... These old immortals, see that I don't burn you! ”

Zhen Niang couldn't help jumping up, her hands were about to hold her heart, she raised her head and said to Hui Niang: "Hui Niang Hui Niang, the third sister is so heroic, my heart is going to melt, I am so envious." ”

Xiuniang was secretly anxious, and couldn't help but say to Lin Xi: "Venerable Master, these ...... These were originally bad habits of officialdom, but they were not really disrespectful, our Xuan Yiwei was also employing people, and now Mi Sanmei's girl's family is also so aggressive, I am afraid that if the army does not belong to it, there will be a conflict, but it will not be beautiful. ”

Lin Xi said softly: "Confucianism does not pay attention to the words quiet and pure, let's wait and see the changes first." ”

Then Tu Xicai hurriedly walked over and said to Lin Xi: "Venerable Master, there is an old man who has come to vote, and our patrol ship will intercept it, and after a while, two people will come over for interrogation, and now that the time is almost noon, we need to make some preparations for the afternoon trip." These Song soldiers were in charge, and how to behave, please ask the master to show you. ”

Lin Xi said: "It's not a bad thing to let Mi Sanmei resist them, Mi Sanmei has just experienced a war, and her mood is agitated, if she can't be released, it will be unfavorable to her, she will be overly angry, and her mood will be better, besides, she also needs to set up some prestige and some stories, otherwise how can they build prestige and lead the team?" Be careful not to let Song Qing spoil her affairs, we must be united internally, and we are not allowed to tear each other down. ”

Only then did Tu Xicai understand, and said gratefully: "If the Venerable Master is so considerate, it is really the luck of the third sister Mi, so I will arrange it." ”

......

But in a moment, an old man named Wei Jie and a boy called Qiu Gong were respectively put on the Xuanyi number.

Song Qing was brought over by Tu Xicai to do this matter, and he was not allowed to disturb Mi Sanmei's performance, Song Qing was quite dissatisfied at first, but when he heard that it was an interrogation, he was also very interested, but when he put the two people on the deck of the ship, he realized that they were brought to Lin Xi for interrogation.

The old man walked over and saw Lin Xi, so he gave a deep salute: "Caomin Weijie, I have seen the general, and there is an emergency military situation." ”

Lin Xi said: "Wait first, don't speak, that boy, come and come, who are you?" ”

The boy said, "Well, grass people, grass people are seeking merit." The grass people's name is called to seek merit. ”

Lin Xi said: "The answer is calm, where are you doing things?" What do you do for a living? ”

The boy said, "Little boy, little boy, little boy is, back to the general's words, the little boy is a tea boy." In Mr. Weijie's place, he worked as a tea boy and made a living as a tea boy. ”

Lin Xi asked, "How old are you, and how much money does he give you?" ”

The boy said, "Back to the general's words, I am seven years old, and I have a monthly amount of silver, sometimes more than ten coppers, and sometimes I can earn one or two hundred coppers." ”

Lin Xi said: "In this way, it is a bit less. ”

The boy said, "I can't say very little when I go back to the general. ”

Lin Xi smiled: "Oh, I don't hear much about this, so how little do you say?" ”

The boy seemed to be asked: "Return, return to the general... Target... Words, this, how little? What does this word mean? ”

Lin Xi pretended to be surprised: "Oh, you just said that it's not very little, that's how little?" ”

The boy was very entangled: "Back to the general's words, I don't know this, it's just a common saying, but I have never encountered such a more truthful thing, the little boy really can't answer, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Song Qing was surprised: "You boy, you are a little quick. ”

Lin Xi asked, "What does this old man do?" ”

The boy was very glorious now, and the look on his face also soared: "He, I scared you to death when I said it, he was the Great Khan of the Great Yuan Dynasty - Kublai Khan rewarded his son with a Jin - the master of Turuk Badu, my teacher." Turuk turned out to be a broken household, and escaped to Dadu, those ladies in the palace did not like Turuk, the Great Khan casually rewarded some gold and silver, and later rewarded my master to Turuk, as a result, my master gave an idea, let Turuk shoot the eagle in the sky, let the eagle fall into the tent circle of the Great Khan, Turuk was developed all of a sudden, and became tens of thousands of households, you know, ten thousand households, or tens of thousands of households, there are really tens of thousands of soldiers, plus the military household servants and daughters, that is the head of forty or fifty thousand people, but it is amazing. Those manuu in their hometown are not counted. ”

Lin Xi pretended to be surprised: "So powerful? ”

The boy said, "That's right! You don't know yet, my master gave General Turuk an idea, this time to kill the queen mother and emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he can go back to the fiefdom, the Great Khan promised him to run a horse for a day and a night of fiefdom, a day and a night of running horses, I don't dare to think, what a big piece it is, in the future, there will be as many cattle and sheep as the white clouds in the sky. ”

Hearing this, Tu Xicai couldn't help but clench his fists, and hurriedly arranged for the soldiers to surround Master Weijie.

When the boy saw it, he couldn't help laughing: "Then don't be afraid, my master usually doesn't kill people, he uses his brain to kill people." ”

Song Qing said: "Oh, little rabbit cub, you have laughed at you!" ”

The boy laughed: "This little general is really funny, what we were like a moment ago, and what we are like now, you have changed color, if it is really the master who did his tricks and feet, and got on your boat, you would not be able to kill him." ”

Lin Xi said to Wei Jie: "Master Wei Jie, the name is good, if you are a boy, you teach him?" ”

The boy snatched up and said: "Where you can use the master to teach, every day you will be exposed to it." ”

Master Wei Jie said: "Lin Shangren, the grass people are insignificant, but this military situation is like fire, if you miss it, kill the villain, and you can't recover the time, it's better to listen to the grass people." ”

Lin Xi said: "Okay, you just have to pick up the important ones." ”

Weijie Shili bowed to the end: "I was originally a Han people, my family surname is Yuan, Yuan Weijie is also, because of the migration to avoid disasters to teach, and was later recruited by the Jurchen government (note: pronounced zhēng bì, it is called to recruit cloth clothes out of the office. The court called it to be called Zheng, and the three dukes were called to be called Pi), and then he was captured by Meng Yuan, and he was promoted through the accumulation of merit, and he didn't want to be included in the staff of the Great Khan, and he assisted in the assassination, so he couldn't get out. Then it was given to Turuk. Now that I am lucky, I am willing to give advice to the general, and I beg my lord to be merciful and let me go south. ”

Lin Xi looked at Wei Jie generously and decently, and he didn't have the slightest fear, which was very strange: "You don't have the slightest fear, you must have some basis!" ”

Wei Jie smiled: "Don't dare, it's just that the old slave knows that there is no free meal in the world, so he does it himself, and he is used to having enough food and clothing." ”

Lin Xi looked deeply into Master Weijie's eyes, the two looked at each other for three minutes, and Lin Xi said, "Then let's talk about it." ”

Master Weijie said: "Turuk is eighty or ninety percent dead, Zhang Hongfan is eighty or ninety percent dead, Zhang Shijie is eighty or ninety percent dead, although I don't know what the general's basis is, but if you don't pay attention, half a day away, within a day, eighty or ninety percent will also die." In addition, at this moment, the soldiers of the naval battle of Yashan, no matter whether they win or lose, within ten days, if there is no accident, or there will be bloody rain, there is not much left. ”

Lin Xi smiled: "So what did Master Weijie come from?" Bringing blood? ”

Master Wei Jie said: "No, I didn't bring the bloody rain, but I want to die less and change my own life." ”
