Chapter 34: Ten Rebellious Ministers

"The great man of chivalry, we are the great man of chivalry!"

Chang Anjun's high hat was buttoned down, and Lu Jujian and other rangers were excited. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the rangers can be said to be the lightest group to die, and it is not strange to commit suicide dozens or hundreds of times without saying a word. As I said before, as long as they are real rangers, they all have a set of standards for how to behave in the world, and their purpose of fulfilling chivalry is nothing more than to gain fame and make people look up to them.

In the eyes of this group of people, fame is a more important thing than money, farmland, life and death, so there are endless generous and sad singers.

Today, Chang'an Jun praised them as the "great chivalrous" who surpassed Zilu, Beiguo Sao and other ranger ancestors, and it was scratched on the itch, and the ten people were immediately overjoyed, and for a while, they really thought that they were "for the country and the people".

Mingyue made persistent efforts and said: "Although the second and third sons are not capable and ashamed of their virtues, I will make a name for you and let people go to the streets and alleys to publicize this matter!" ”

The rangers are even more happy to scratch their ears and cheeks, it is conceivable that today's events, once spread, they will become veritable heroes among the Handan rangers!

On the streets of Handan three days ago, because Chang'anjun promised not much money, the rats who left for fear of death and injury, those villains who swore and finally retreated, who dared to disagree!?

Of course, Mingyue knew that these people in front of her were not so tall, but in the general environment, when half of them retreated for money, half of them were afraid of death and left, and half of them did not have a firm will and could not believe in what they said and what they did, it was already rare that these ten people could come to the appointment.

For the best of these Handan rangers, he is not stingy with his praise, of course, he can't just rely on boasting and empty "fame", if you want to take them for your own use, you also need some power tricks involving interests.

He took the piece of wood that recorded the origins of the ten people and said: "Heroes, you and others are in trouble for the country and protect my thoughtful feelings, Zhao Guang has nothing to repay, I will divide the 1,000 acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Handan given to me by the Queen Mother into ten parts, and put them under the names of each family, each family has 100 acres." Those fields have their own government to arrange for the ministers to cultivate them, and the grain harvested every year is sent to your homes by the officials......"

The harvest of 100 acres of land per household is 150 stone millet a year, which is enough for the families of ten rangers to have no worries about food and clothing, so that their parents are equivalent to becoming small landlords, who can enjoy their old age in peace and get nothing for nothing.

Some people were happy, and some people were relieved, but Lu Jujian seemed to be insulted, and said loudly: "Is Chang'anjun insulting us?" Just now, I said that our trip is purely for the country and the people, but now we want to use the food in the field to practice our righteous deeds! ”

Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh: "Where is this practice, just to settle your family and other families, expand the field house, and let the second and third sons have no worries when they go to Qi with me." The times are different, and I don't have to live in a bad alley and eat dregs to be called a chivalrous man, even if I wear ugly clothes, I can't make the strong men and their families cold. ”

Lu Jujian's complexion looked a little better, and he accepted Chang'anjun's reward.

After that, he seemed to remember something, so he turned his back and discussed it with the other nine rangers, and looked at Chang Anjun from time to time. This son, not only does not avoid danger and goes to difficulties for the country, but also understands them as a ranger, and with his generous shots, he is really appetizing to everyone.

The rangers have always made decisions with a pat on their heads, so under the leadership of Lu Jujian, they fell to the ground in unison and said:

In this way, we are also like Beiguo Sao who received the grace of Yanzi, and was benefited by Chang'an Jun, that sentence is good, and it is difficult to raise relatives. Chang'an Jun went to the country with the body of a daughter, and he was able to consider our fathers, give the field and house food, and untie the gift, which is a rare virtuous son in the world, we are not talented, and I am willing to be the doorman of the son, take the son as the main king, and serve the son and serve the Zhao country together! ”

……

After the ten people officially took refuge in Mingyue, they all swore by the gods and curses according to the habits of this era, and at the same time bit their fingertips, pressed their handprints on the small wooden chips, and asked the literate people to engrave their names on it, and solemnly handed them over to Chang'anjun, this kind of ritual is called "commissioning loyalty".

Handan rangers are not in a big circle, they are all acquaintances with each other, when Mingyue asked them to choose one to be the leader, although they were young, they were chivalrous and angry, and Lu Jujian, who liked to fight unevenly, was pushed out, and Mingyue also had a good impression of this loyal and filial young man, so he let him lead these ten people.

Looking at the ten ranger warriors in front of her, who were holding their heads high and looking radiant, Mingyue's heart was touched.

"This is my first brachial men." He thought.

Although Shu Qi is his personal bodyguard and has superb martial arts, he is the son of Master Zuo, not his courtier of Chang'anjun.

Not to mention Zhao Kuo, it is impossible for the dignified son of Ma Fujun to condescend to others.

These two people, with Mingyue's current status, can be friends and obey, but they cannot be subordinate.

As for the four black-clothed and some soldiers that Empress Dowager Zhao said to let Mingyue bring to the Qi Kingdom, they were only temporarily sent to protect him.

The only people who really established a life attachment relationship with Mingyue and called him "Lord" were only the ten people in front of him.

"Although there are few, but that sentence is good, Shun has five ministers and the world is governed, King Wu has ten chaotic ministers and died Yin Shang, Jin Wen has five scholars, and he will eventually dominate."

If these ten people can be firmly controlled in their hands and make them loyal with all their hearts, they are much stronger than hundreds of rabble, and they are not expected to have much insight and ability, but each of them is a sharp sword of Mingyue, and they can cut through obstacles for him without hesitation!

Therefore, Mingyue took a lot of effort to accept them from both fame and fortune, especially after learning the origin of their family, if they are loyal, their parents will naturally be able to worry about food and clothing, if they betray, their relatives will immediately become hostages......

Looking at the straightforward faces of this group of young people, Mingyue secretly apologized to them in her heart, he couldn't help it, after all, the Warring States were different from the Spring and Autumn Period, and the so-called loyalty was no longer reliable. The relationship between the doorman and the lord is like that between the buyer and the seller. The sovereign is powerful, and the scholars and warriors are competing to take refuge, and if they have no power, they will fall and scatter, and the door will be full of birds, which is a common thing that people in the world are not strange about.

That is, Mingyue was born as Chang'an Jun, and he is the noble son of Zhao State, if he loses this identity, even if he shouts the slogan of "for the country and the people" loudly, I am afraid that no one will respond to him, right?

Power is like a magnet that naturally attracts people.

"At the end of the day, I have to keep my position and find a way to get more power. In short, in the future, I still have to push the clothes, the food, and completely take them in. ”

As soon as he said he would do it, he immediately asked the palace warden in charge of clothing to find ten palace guard clothes suitable for the body of the rangers, and asked them to change out of their ugly clothes and wear new clothes.

After a while, ten samurai in new suits appeared in front of them, and new three-foot swords were hung from their waists, and their swarthy feet were spotless.

People rely on clothes, and now, the ten people are no longer a plate of loose sand and down-and-out rangers, but like a Wu Ben with a head and a face.

The day after tomorrow is the first day of the first month of March, the day of departure from Handan, but Mingyue gave ten people a grace day, let them wear this new clothes, ride a good horse given by Chang Anjun, go back to settle down their families, and walk around in the Lu by the way.

The other nine people were overjoyed, but Lu Jujian was so angry that he screamed, because his family was too poor and he had never been far away, so he couldn't ride a horse, but he still decided that even if he walked in front of him and the horse was in his hand, he would go back for a walk.

He said indignantly: "There is also a ranger in my neighbor's house, who has a little martial arts on weekdays, and has always refused to obey me, and he was also on the street three days ago, but he left because Chang'anjun did not promise money. When I came this morning, he was still sitting on the threshold and laughing at me for saying that Chang'anjun is such a small device, I just went to Qi Country for nothing, and I couldn't earn anything! It's really annoying to me! ”

Lu Jujian patted a new suit, as well as the sash and three-foot sword given by Chang Anjun around his waist, and said hatefully: "I'm going to go back today to humiliate him!" ”

The other nine people are almost in this way, in fact, their families and neighbors are mostly not good at these unprofessional rangers, especially this time, their "righteous deeds" are not understood, but they have suffered a lot of anger, and now they have the opportunity to vomit back.

At noon, after being entertained by Chang'an Jun with a good meal of wine and meat, the ten people left with the title deed and a small bag of tinkling "resettlement fees".

The location where they returned was different, there was an alley in the east of the city, there was a west building in the north of the city, there was the east gate in the south of the city, and there were even foreign rangers who only lived in the alleys and wine shops, and the locations were almost all over Handan City.

Looking at the figures of everyone in the distance, Li Tan asked with some concern: "Lord, will someone be greedy for that good horse and never return?" ”

"These ten people have all been tested three times, and now they know that there are many benefits to following me, and they shouldn't be so blind."

But after thinking about it, Mingyue still asked Li Tan to catch up with Lu Jujian and return home with him, and he planned to learn more about the leader of this ranger.

Of course, he didn't give up the whole forest because of ten trees.

Mingyue turned around and said secretly: "After tonight, the rangers of the entire Handan City will be shocked by this incident, and my Chang'an Jun's reputation in the cloth clothes will be even higher!" ”
