The cold winter has passed, the frozen tiger water is surging and rushing, the endless Ma Jiling is dressed in green, the wild deer are running in the grassland, the eagle is soaring in the long sky, and spring has descended to the land and mountains of the north.

In the spring, the Jurchens, under the advocacy of Aguta, learned the production technology of the Song people by smelting iron and casting ploughshares, and gradually switched from fishing and hunting to farming. Looking at the mountains and fields, a group of people are shouting and ploughing oxen to plow the fields and sow seeds, and for a time thousands of miles of fertile fields present a busy scene of spring sowing.

One day, on the grassland on the bank of the Hushui River, a group of hunters came, they were the emperor of the Jin State and his confidants. In the eyes of everyone, the first monarch of the Jin Kingdom did not show the supreme dignity and was intimidating, and he still talked and laughed with everyone as a brother or elder.

While walking, a hare suddenly woke up from the grass. The living girl shouted: "Your Majesty, look! As he spoke, the hare had run a hundred paces away, and the arm wound had healed and he immediately opened his bow, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, and the hare fell to the ground.

The living girl ran forward to pick up the hare, and the crowd cheered. He ran to Akuta and held the hare in his hand and exclaimed: "The emperor is a true divine arrow." ”

Pu Jianu on the side said: "You kid don't know, the emperor's arrow is not a day's work, when the emperor was ten years old, the Liao envoy came to visit and sat in the house, saw the emperor holding a bow and arrow, just at this time there were a flock of birds flying in the sky, the emperor raised the bow and shot, even the hair was hit, the Liao envoy high-fived and praised. ”

Xi Yin patted the living girl on the shoulder and said, "How is it?" It's the first time I've heard of it. The living girl said, "How can the emperor know that the younger generation is so miraculous?" As she spoke, the living woman hung the hare under the saddle.

The centaur continued to move forward, and a pheasant was startled in the grass, and the bone thug was quick and an arrow was fast, and the pheasant fell to the ground in response, causing a cheer again.

Suddenly, a lost yellow sheep rushed up in front of herd, and the living girl had already opened her bow, and Ah Gu said, "Zongxiong, it's up to you." The yellow sheep galloped away, and when Zongxiong Pegasus drew his bow and chased after him, the living woman's hand shook and the arrow flew out, and he exclaimed: "Arrow! Zong Xiong's right hand caught the eagle Ling like lightning, he held the bow in his left hand and raised his head to shoot, the wild yellow sheep fell to the ground in response, Zong Xiong pulled back his horse, and Ah Gu sighed: "My nephew's eyes are fast, and the arrow is not as good as me." Zong Xiong hugged his fists and said: "Emperor Xie praises." ”

Suddenly, one of them exclaimed, "Look, roe deer! "I saw three roe deer galloping up. Ah Guda said loudly: "Zongxiong, come again!" But seeing Zongxiong chasing the horse and pulling the bow and arrows, both shots were hit, and just about to shoot the third, the horse lost its front hoof Zongxiong and landed, but when he saw Zongxiong rolling on the ground, the bow pulled the full moon, and it was another arrow, and the roe deer also fell down in response, and everyone shouted loudly while running.

Ah Guda praised: "Zongxiong's nephew's archery skills are unparalleled in the world!" ”

Xi Yin asked his retinue to put the prey on horseback, and the group continued on their way. Ah Guda and the others came to a high hill where the grass was not over, which was a large highland paved with cow hair grass. Ah Gu reined and dismounted, and all Bo Jin also dismounted.

Ah Guda looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and said to Xi Yin: "For this land, our fathers don't know how much blood and sweat they have shed. Then he sighed: "I think of the previous kings, my brother Wu Yashu, and the clan lord Huandu and the clan uncle conspired, without them, we would not be the real women today." ”

"Yes, we must not forget those who were born and died to lay down this land, and the living must not only defend it but also expand it. ”

Ah Guda withdrew his gaze from afar, glanced at the soft grass under his feet, and perhaps sat down on the ground because he was a little tired, and everyone sat down one after another. Horses are scattered on the hills, leisurely grazing on the grass.

Ah Qi said: "Your Majesty, it has been more than half a month of hunting, and the village houses are dilapidated, and I am afraid that the emperor will not rest well, so it is better to return to Huining as soon as possible, and-" Ah Gu laughed: "What else?" Eighth uncle, if you have something to say, I won't mind. ”

Ah Lihe paused for a while and said: "Yelu Yanxi hunted, he never got tired of it, and finally lost the city and land, the emperor must know." ”

Ah Gu glanced at Yang Pu and said: "There are many allusions to the Central Plains, you must know the story of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, who lived in peace and five roads, right?" Yang Pu, who is well versed in the culture of the Central Plains, said: "The minister knows a thing or two, when the Shu Emperor Liu Bei raised troops to attack Wu in order to avenge Guan Yu, because he did not know the soldiers, he committed the taboo of the soldiers, and set up the camp in the woods. was burned by Lu Xun of Eastern Wu for 700 miles, and died of illness in the White Emperor City in a hurry. The army returned to Chengdu, and his son Liu Chan ascended the throne. Soon, the Wei State had a five-way army to attack Shu, and Liu Chan was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly looked for Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng. Looking around, he saw Zhuge Liang watching fish by the pool, Liu Chan was anxious and said, the father of the soldier still has the leisure to watch the fish? Zhuge Liang said slowly, I am watching the fish, I am retreating. Soon, the Fifth Route Army really retreated without a fight.

After Yang Pu finished speaking, Xi Yin already understood the meaning and said: "Zhuge Liang was busy and retreated from the Fifth Route Army. Although the emperor is in the hunting ground, his heart is on the battlefield. ”

Ah Gu laughed after inquiring: "Those who know me, the clan uncle!" ”

The group walked on the grassland again, and flocks of swallows flew up and down in front of the people and behind the horses, hovering left and right. Not far away, a farmer is plowing his fields. Ah Gu said: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

When the group came to the cultivator, they saw an old man and a young man, the old man in his sixties wearing a shabby jacket with a head and a braided hair, which was a typical Jurchen dress. The old man held the plow, and the child led the ox in front of him with unkempt head and bare feet. Ah Guda dismounted early and walked to the old man.

Ah Gu arched his hand and said, "The old man can rest for a while." The old man raised his head and looked at Ah Guda and his party, and he "shouted", and the child pulled the reins and the ox stopped. Aguda asked, "How many people are there in the old man?" How much land to plant? ”

The old man looked sad, sighed and said, "There were originally five mouths, but now there are four left." Ah Guda asked, "My wife has passed away?" "No, my son was killed in the attack on Ningjiang Prefecture." As he spoke, the old man's voice choked and wiped his tears with his hands, "This is my grandson." ”

Ah Guda's heart was sour, and he walked up to the child and asked, "How old are you?" The child's voice was loud and replied, "Fifteen," and Ah Guda stroked the child's head and asked in a low voice, "Do you want Daddy?" The child replied, "When Daddy was leaving, he said that if I die on the battlefield, let me grow up and join the army to avenge him." The child's reply was resounding.

"What a good child, with the backbone of our Jurchens!" Ah Guda said with emotion, and he turned to look at the old man again, "Dad, my son is dead, and life is very difficult." ”

"How so? My son was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, my family was originally a slave, but now he has been redeemed and become a commoner, and the emperor also rewarded a cow. He pointed with his finger, "This is it, I used to make a living by hunting and fishing, but with this cow, my grandson and I can grow five acres of land, and a total of eight acres of land." ”

Ah Guda asked: "Old man, your son died in battle, don't you hate Ah Guta?" ”

The old man said: "My son said before he left home that we Jurchens are alive in humiliation, it is better to fight to the death, alas, he really did not come back." Although my son is dead, I don't hate Aguta, because he thinks about the people everywhere and is a good emperor. In the past, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty made us suffer a lot, and at that time we were worse off than dead, and the common people hated Tianzuo. ”

When Ah Guda heard this, he said affectionately: "Old man, take care." ”

The old man never dreamed that the one in front of him was the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, and he shouted at the ploughing ox to pick up the plough stick and continue to farm.

After crossing a mountain beam, there were some farmers in the distance. Ah Guda turned around and said to Ah Qihe: "Eighth uncle, after I go back, add an article to the new law, open up an extra wasteland, reward a ploughing cow, and implement it immediately after the formulation is completed." ”

Ah Clutch said angrily: "The minister will do it when he goes back." Ah Guda said as he walked: "The powerful Central Plains Dynasty of the past dynasties all attached importance to farming, and if there is grain, the world will be safe, Yang Pu, I am right." ”

Yang Pu immediately clenched his fists and said, "The emperor knows the Central Plains too well. ”

"Yelu Yanxi hunted in all seasons, ignored farming, and mourned all over the wilderness in a disaster year, which is also a warning he gave us." Junchen and his entourage walked and chatted with the hunted game in the direction of Huining, and soon disappeared into the depths of the grassland.

In Huining City, there is still no difference between the thatched hut where the prime minister lives and the houses of other people. On this day, in this mud-walled thatched hut, he and his family once again bought a wine banquet with the game they had hunted. Ah Clutch, Pu Jianu, Yang Pu and others arrived one after another, some sat on the kang, some sat on the wooden bench, and everyone talked and laughed.

Sagai asked the family to serve tea, and the young maid quickly made the tea, poured it into a purple porcelain bowl, and placed it in front of everyone. This tea was specially bought from the field yesterday, and everyone said that it was a high-quality tea after tasting it.

The last one to arrive was Xi Yin, who said: "Uncle Clan is late, and your nephew must punish you with two bowls of wine." ”

"I admit punishment." Xi Yin said, "However, the last time the prime minister set up a family banquet to discuss the affairs of the emperor and the founding of the country, what is the name of the family and friends who are having a big banquet today?" "You don't know this yet, brothers and nephews are rare to get together outside all the year round, and today we will feast everyone with the game that the emperor played, even if it is to catch the wind and wash the dust, the emperor will come in a while." Sagai said as he let Xi Yin onto the kang.

At this time, Madame Sagai entered the house and wiped her hands with her apron and said, "The banquet is ready." ”

Wu begged and said: "Look, the clan uncle won't dare to open a banquet if he doesn't come." Xi Yin smiled: "It's not too late for the emperor to come to Ceres." Everyone was talking and laughing, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

Yang Pu said: "My sister-in-law cooks herself, I have to drink more." ”

Zongxiong looked at his busy aunt and said, "Auntie, it's hard for you to cook." Mrs. Sagai wiped the table and said, "Isn't it right for my aunt to be busier than you are going to fight?" ”

At this time, the servant entered the house to report that the emperor had arrived, and everyone went out and knelt on the ground to greet him. ”

Mrs. Zacchaeus hurriedly came to meet the emperor, she held hands and saluted, and said, "Pusan clan to meet the emperor!" ”

Ah Gu snorted repeatedly: "Brother and daughter-in-law salute and salute." ”

Ah Gu entered the house and sat on the earthen kang, although he respected the emperor, he was as approachable as he was back then, and everyone felt very cordial. When Sagai saw that the emperor had arrived, he ordered someone to set the wine on the table, and the servants poured the wine into the porcelain bowl of Aguta, and then poured it for everyone in turn.

Sagai picked up the wine bowl and said: "Sagai uses home-brewed rice wine to set up a family banquet to entertain fathers, brothers, sons and nephews. ”

Ah Guda looked at Sagai, and also raised the wine bowl and said: "There are not so many etiquettes under the court, today is a family banquet, it should be in the order of generations and years, I will first salute the eighth uncle with a bowl, and then I will salute the clan uncle." When Ah Clutch heard this, he hurriedly said: "The emperor can't help it, or the emperor drinks it first." ”

"Eighth uncle, this is what you said, since you keep respecting my emperor, then you have to listen to my will, if you don't listen to my will, it is disrespectful to the will, and if you don't drink me, you will be severely punished by the holy decree."

When Ah Lihe heard that the emperor was going to give an order, he hurriedly said: "Okay, good, the minister obeys the order." He raised the bowl and drank it all, and everyone accompanied him. Ah Guda took the wine urn and poured it for Xi Yin personally, Xi Yin stood up and said busily: "The emperor poured wine, and he was tormented by Gu Shenye." ”

Ah Gu said: "Today, regardless of the courtiers and emperors, they are only called uncles and nephews." After hearing this, Xi Yin drank and everyone went in, and there were bursts of cheerful laughter in the room. （）
