Chapter 41: Face Saint (2)
Wu Zhi said: "The younger brother doesn't understand what it means, I want to find some mystery, and tomorrow the younger brother will go to the street to find a Taoist priest to solve it." "This "once the fog is seen again, the dead wood sees the flowers in spring" is the lottery drawn by Wu Zhi in the previous life when he was telling fortunes, and he was very painful to take out the happy money, and this hanging post was firmly remembered, just used to cover this Taoist emperor brother.
Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "There are many swaggering and deceitful people on the street, I will go back to the palace to summon Mr. Guangtong Zhenling to solve the doubts." Said and smiled, "Second brother, Mr. Guangtong, you need to see the last one, the **** suffered a knife wound, it was Mr. Guangtong who opened the altar to pray to God, God had mercy, and the second brother turned the corner...... "After Luo Daoshi cast the spell that day, he was even more convinced by Huizong and was crowned Mr. Guangtong Zhenling.
"Oh? That brother should go to thank you, how could you see such a strange person in the countryside before, the Great Song Dynasty has such a strange person, it is really a blessing to the saint! Wu Zhi agreed repeatedly, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, hasn't he seen enough of this kind of god stick in his previous life? There are a few people in the mixed society who don't ask God to worship Buddha, even if they don't believe it, they just want peace of mind.
The two were talking, and a guard hurriedly ran on the bluestone path outside the pavilion and presented a document, Zhao Ji looked at it, his face immediately sank, and he slapped the table heavily: "The little Qiang rebellion can't be quelled, when will the clouds be recovered!" ”
Wu Zhi saw that it was a military report, so it was inconvenient to ask more, so he had to be silent on the side.
Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and handed the document to Wu Zhi, and said with hatred in his mouth: "Second brother, look at it, what is this, the rebellion of the small Qingtang Qiang tribe cannot be quelled for several years, is it true that my Great Song Dynasty has no one?" ”
Wu Zhi hesitated, but still took it, but he didn't look at it, put it on the stone table, and said: "Brother Huang, don't be angry, in the land of Bianyi, the people want to be strong, although you want to suppress the first evil, you must also appease the people, otherwise even if you calm down for a while, you will not be able to ensure peace in the future." You must know that the wildfires are inexhaustible, the spring breeze blows and grows, and the people are just blindly obedient, but they can be both graceful and powerful, enlighten them, assimilate them, and make them proud of the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty...... "Wu Zhi just thought that hundreds of years later, these ethnic groups are also members of our Chinese nation, so he talked nonsense, of course, the Jin State and Mongolia are absolutely excluded.
"Yes, the second brother is right, this Qingtang rebellion was plundered by Wang Ganzhi when he knew about Shanzhou a few years ago, and the abuse and killing of Qiang people provoked the people's rebellion," Zhao Ji couldn't imagine that Wu Zhi could guess a rough idea without reading the military newspaper, and he was happy in his heart, "What did the second brother say, enlightenment, assimilation?" ”
"Enlightenment means that you can teach them Chinese characters and learn our culture, well, it is to spread my Confucian culture to them, and slowly make them become our Song people,......" Wu Zhi slowly explained as he considered the words.
Zhao Ji frowned, since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has regarded itself as a **** country, and has always despised the uncivilized Bianyi, and the collections such as "Four Books and Five Classics" are even more self-cherished, although there are also children of foreign nobles to learn the Central Plains culture, but it is impossible to spread Confucianism on a large scale.
After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he also felt that his consciousness seemed to be ahead of his time, and now he has a life-and-death relationship with most of these nationalities, what kind of assimilation to talk about, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Chen just said nonsense, and the imperial brother doesn't have to take it seriously." ”
Zhao Ji laughed at his childish behavior, who doesn't pay attention to his appearance and demeanor in front of the saint, it is really rare to be as natural as Wu Zhi and not pretentious.
"Second brother don't be embarrassed, you better read the military report first, being cautious is not like the second brother's behavior." Zhao Ji said with a smile.
Wu Zhi smiled, picked up the document and read it, it was a military report sent from Xizhou in the northwest, saying that Shanhuang Erzhou Fan, the Qiang leader Doroba since the rebellion two years ago, now has intensified, and actually wants to build a country. The governor of Xizhou knew that the matter was very important, and he rushed up to report it for eight hundred miles.
Wu Zhi knew that this kind of division in previous dynasties was a taboo for those in power, and he also knew why Zhao Ji was so angry, but he didn't know anything about the border affairs in Western Xinjiang, and this kind of military affairs was not his forte, so how could he have any insight. Seeing Zhao Ji looking at him expectantly, he sighed in his heart and said, "Brother Huang, the affairs in the northwest are very important, and the younger brother is not familiar with the affairs of the Five Roads, so he doesn't dare to speak up. However, the younger brother thinks that the rebellion must be put down quickly, lest this chaos be used as a pawn by Western Xia and other countries to blackmail my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Ji nodded, this was also what he was worried about, "After the second brother goes back, you can go to the post house to meet the envoy from the northwest, inquire about the northwest affairs, and if you have any ideas, write a charter and send it over." ”
Wu Zhi nodded in agreement, but he was complaining in his heart, how could he have any charter, isn't this chasing ducks to the shelves?
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, Wu Zhi said goodbye and left.
Wu Zhi was preoccupied and sat in the luxurious carriage pulled by four horses, how could Zhao Ji have to write any charter by himself? I am not the reincarnation of Kong Ming, how can I deal with him? Your king is not easy to do on this errand! The first time I encountered something that seemed to be beyond my control, I became depressed.
"Your King Chitose, the post house has arrived!" Wang Jin's voice woke him up from his thoughts.
When the post house saw the luxurious carriage and the imposing guards around the carriage, he knew that a big man was coming, and hurriedly greeted him, and when he heard that it was your king Chitose, he was even more careful, invited Wu Zhi inside, served tea, and hurried to call the envoy from the northwest.
After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, the door curtain was lifted, and a soldier walked in, and saw Wu Zhi hurriedly saluting. Wu Zhi and Jun Han inquired in detail for a long time, and although they inquired about the northwest affairs, they really didn't know how to get the statute of Na Laoshizi, so they couldn't help frowning and thinking about it. Wang Jin and Hu Dehai around him are brave, but they are only generals, and this kind of big strategic policy is not their strength, and they can't help themselves with any ideas. Alas, my cheap brother, you have stumped me!
"Your king Chitose is not bothered by the troubles?" Jun Han hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help it.
Wu Zhi's heart moved, and he looked directly at the military man: "Not bad!" Do you have a good plan to quell the chaos? ”
The military man was frightened by his staring, shook his head desperately, and said: "The villain is just a messenger, where is there any good plan." But...... But ......"
Wu Zhi knew by looking at his demeanor that he was not a hermit or the like, so he withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and motioned for him to continue.
The military man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then continued: "If you talk about the northwest border affairs, who can be worthy of the general judgment, although the general judgment was dismissed last year, but do not forget the side affairs, a few days ago also came to the capital, if the prince wants to know the details of the northwest, he will know if he asks the general judgment." ”
"A kind of general judgment?"
Seeing that Wu Zhi didn't seem to know the name of the general judgment, the military man was slightly surprised. "It's the descendant of the former Yan'an Mansion who appeased the adult! The farmer has guarded the northwest for generations, hasn't the prince heard of it? ”
