Chapter 47: Teachings

The news of Tong San's defeat came from the front, and above the court, Long Yan was furious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it weren't for the old lady Tong Li's public opinion to protect his unfilial son, it is estimated that he would have to be used as a model for killing chickens and monkeys.

The current Shuibo Liangshan has gradually grown stronger and stronger after the development of the past two years. This time he used the terrain to defeat Tong San, which was also unexpected. After all, in the eyes of everyone, Liangshan Shuibo is just a bandit nest, and there is nothing to toss. If it weren't for Tong Sanhao's great joy, he would not have sent an army to encircle and suppress at all, after all, this is too big a problem and useless. originally thought that he would be able to capture the encirclement and suppression, but by the way, he sold Tong Lao Taishi a face, so that Tong San could use this military merit to promote and make a fortune. Now it is a good thing, the officers and soldiers have been defeated and retreated, and the face of the court has been damaged, which is a great thing.

Of course, Gao Shide has not received any news about this matter yet. At this time, he was busy accompanying the prince to Xiaoyang Village outside the eastern suburbs, watching the family close their windows and lock their doors. The prince looked at Gao Shide with a puzzled face.

"Brother Gao, what do you say is going on, why do the villagers all look like this when they see us coming?"

"What's so strange about this, we are followed by thousands of soldiers and horses, and in the eyes of the common people, there is actually no difference between soldiers and bandits." Gao Shide explained with a smile.

"There is no difference between a soldier and a bandit?" The prince muttered these six words in his mouth, but he shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand.

"Then let's go, and we'll be here tomorrow." Probably around the vicinity of the village, Gao Shide took the prince around for a while, and then set off for his return.

The prince was full of doubts, as if he wanted to ask Gao Shide a lot of questions, but he was rejected one by one. "Don't worry, the prince will know everything when he goes again tomorrow."

The next day, early in the morning, the prince came to find Gao Shide. After the prince went back yesterday, he had no sleep all night. I really can't think of what this means, is it that I haven't even seen the common people like this, it's called observing the people's feelings. So the prince came early in the morning, wanting to know thoroughly what medicine was sold in Gao Shide's gourd.

"Haha, it's early, just have breakfast together." Gao Shide looked at the prince with bloodshot eyes, and could see at a glance that he didn't sleep well last night.

"It just so happens that I was in a hurry and didn't bother to eat." The prince did not politely pick up the soy milk fritters on the table and ate and drank.

After eating and drinking, Gao Shide picked up the set of clothes he had prepared and put it in front of the prince. looked at the prince with a forced face indifferently, and said: "The prince has been wronged, put on the clothes of this poor family, and we will set off." ”

"Where to go? I have to change this outfit. The prince looked at the casual clothes made of coarse linen with disgust, and asked curiously.

"Where else can I go? Of course, it is a revisit to the old place, a private visit to the micro-service, and a sense of public sentiment. Gao Shide opened the fan in his hand, with a strategic expression, but it was not very convincing.

The prince followed him suspiciously, and there were six people in the group. All of them were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, except for Gao Shide and Ma Liu, who were powerless, the other three were the prince's personal guards, and they were first-class masters. Of course, everyone is headed by the prince, giving people the appearance of a passing boy.

The six people led the horses to Xiaoyang Village, but the people in the village all came out to watch with their heads probed in a curious manner. This scene is just the opposite of yesterday, seeing this scene, the prince is also puzzled at this time. "Why is this happening?"

Hearing the prince's inquiry, Gao Shide shook his head and explained: "As the old saying goes, when a show meets a soldier, it is unreasonable to say. What's more, it is an ordinary person, in their eyes, soldiers and bandits are not separated, they are all the same. ”

"Is this the so-called peaceful and prosperous era, under the peace and contentment, the dark side of my Great Song Dynasty?" The prince said all that he thought.

"What is this, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, outside Luoyang City. These people can be regarded as much happier, and ordinary thieves don't dare to be presumptuous here. But it's hard to say if you change it to another place. Gao Shide laughed and said nothing.

Today's seemingly simple words actually deeply touched the heart of this carefree prince who has held a golden key since he was a child. The people's livelihood is suffering, and the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment, which can shake the foundation of the country. After all, every future prince will be taught what is called the art of the emperor and the way of the emperor since he was a child. I deeply understand the truth that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat.

Gao Shide did this with good intentions, you must know that in a few years, the so-called Jingkang difficulty will break out. As the so-called nest is finished, Gao Shide's current plan is also to support the crown prince, that is, the later Song Qinzong, to guard his homeland at a critical time. Even if it is not good, it can protect it from escaping safely, as long as there are people, one day it will make a comeback.

was originally a smooth trip, but when I returned to the city, something big and small. A man dressed as a low-level officer of the forbidden army, led dozens of forbidden troops under his command to collect money and food in the surrounding small villages, referred to as labor and military expenses. According to the convention, it is the unspoken rule of uniformity and default.

But these forbidden soldiers, who have long been accustomed to it, did not consider the feelings of the people at all, and in fact, this month's labor and military expenses have been handed over in Xiaoyang Village. But recently, another one took over, and the new official took office three times, and as soon as he came up, he wanted to make money. No, he brought his horses to collect it.

Xiaoyang Village is a small mountain village that mainly focuses on agriculture and logging. Due to its special location, it is close to Tokyo City. Therefore, it has become the main object of collection.

"Master General, we handed it over in Xiaoyang Village a month ago, and now it's just the middle of the month, why do we have to collect it again?" As the village head, Yang Laoshi, as the principal, is responsible for negotiating with these officers and soldiers.

"Old man Yang, the share a month ago was received by the former Commander Liu, and now this is the newly appointed Commander He. As soon as he took office, should you pay a filial piety money? "A dog-legged little soldier, there is nothing good-tempered to say.

"Master General, this, this is not in accordance with the rules! What's more, Xiaoyang Village can't take out this money now, or you can be accommodating first. This Yang honestly explained with good words.

"Be accommodating to your sister, you have to make it up today no matter what." The dogleg, who was originally still pleasant, immediately changed his face and pushed the old village chief, who was a little old, to the ground.

"Grandpa." With an exclamation, a young girl rushed out of the house and picked up the old village chief who had fallen to the ground.

And the one who took the lead didn't care about this. Instead, he stared blankly at this slender figure that had just appeared.
