Chapter 22: Step by Step: I'm Low-key!
The carriage left the Yueling area, and after two days, it stopped at the foot of Huiji Mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Huiji Mountain was originally close to the edge of the mountain, and from the foot of the mountain, the autumn maple on the mountain was like fire. Several people got out of the carriage together, and Ning Xiaomeng said, "Brother, don't you go up the mountain with us?" ”
Ning Jiang smiled with a fan: "I won't delay." Next, the weather will slowly get cooler, so take care of yourselves. ”
Xiaomeng said softly: "Hmm." ”
After speaking, Ning Xiaomeng, Chun Jianli, and Qin Xiaoya'er went up the mountain together. On the way, Xiaomeng turned around and saw that his brother was still watching them at the foot of the mountain, so he waved at him.
When they entered the mountain, they were no longer visible, and Ning Jiangfang turned around: "Let's go too." ”
Holding a knife, he got into the carriage, and Ah Cai led the horse. A few miles away, more and more people from the rivers and lakes gathered on horseback to their side, and they didn't say much, either opening the way in front or escorting them in the rear, in an orderly manner. Lei He Daoren, Sun Ziluo, etc., are all among these people.
A few days later, the group came to the Fuchun River. At this moment, the flower boats on the Fuchun River come and go, a prosperous scene. As the largest flower boat on the entire river, Hua Haolou stopped on the river in the distance.
Ning Jiang took the knife and boarded one of the restaurants, where there were already three people waiting for him, namely Gan Yushu, Ju Zhirong, and Qin Hongyun, the owner of Huahaolou.
"Alliance Leader!" Qin Hongyun got up softly.
Ning Jiang smiled: "Don't be so polite. ”
sat down with the three of them, and first looked at Gan Yushu and Ju Zhirong: "The imperial court thought that Huangfu Lu gave marriage in the name of Huangfu Lu, and ordered Huangfulin and the sixth princess to enter Lin'an, what about the two of you?" ”
The two glanced at each other, and Ju Zhirong said: "The imperial court issued an edict, saying that Pu'an Xuanfu Si Xuanfu made Turai claim himself king, and he had a counter-intention, so he ordered the Shenwu Left Army to go to Lingnan to suppress it. ”
"Pu'an!" Ning Jiang said with a smile, "When the barbarian army invaded on a large scale, Bashu fell, the southwest was in chaos, and the emperor and the civil and military officials in Haojing were all taken captive, Tulai Na only dared to call himself 'King Fan', and then he was beaten by the Red Turban Army and shrank back. To pacify Lingnan, where is the need to transfer the Weiyuan Army? This is just turning the tiger away from the mountain. ”
looked at Gan Yushu again: "Brother Gan is still in the Sanya Army now?" ”
Gan Yushu held the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Because of my merits in resisting the inspection and recovering Lin'an, the saint has made me a prince of the country, awarded the Pillar Country, and awarded 2,000 households in the food estate. ”
Ning Jiang praised: "Add an official to the knight, the saint really has the wisdom to know people." ”
Gan Yushu continued: "Then he ordered me to go to Baozhou to establish the Governor's Mansion, and now although I have handed over the post of the commander of the guard Ma Jun Du Yu, there are a lot more soldiers under my command, but the people are no longer in Lin'an, this time, when you come to Lin'an, I can't help you." ”
Ning Jiang smiled dumbly.
Qin Hongyun got up gently, poured wine for the three of them, and said, "According to our investigation, there is already a desire to change the military system and cancel the current three yas and ten imperial systems, so as to control the envoys and control the armies. The Privy Council selects and assigns the envoys, and in this way, it returns to the previous situation of using civil power to control force. ”
Gan Yushu sighed: "Thinking back to when the Holy Lord first ascended the throne, he was ambitious, and he was determined to recover the Central Plains, reuse military generals, delegate power to various armies, and make great efforts...... I didn't think it would be just a few months......"
Ju Zhirong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty may have given up the ambition of the Central Plains in the north, and the battle of Cha and the south, although it ended in the crushing defeat of the barbarian army, has already scared him." The reuse of Lu Yuhao, the right servant who was bent on peace talks with the barbarian army, is a clear proof of this. If the south wants peace talks, the top brass of the barbarian army will definitely take advantage of this to make conditions. We don't know what the conditions are secretly, the only thing that is certain is that His Majesty has already made contact with the envoy of the barbarian army, and initially, the one who set up the line for the saint should be the Ciyue Fairy of Cixinzhai. ”
Qin Hongyun said: "In today's Jiangnan, Cixue has become more and more popular, not only the court, but even the people at the bottom have begun to release their lives one by one, and there are more and more vegetarian people, and even the ladies in my boat are also affected by this." In addition, there is the theory of reincarnation and the theory of compassion for things, but in the name of Confucianism, it is far from Confucianism......"
Ning Jiang shook his head and said: "It's not far away, since Confucianism can come up with the 'Heaven and Man Induction Theory' that can't be matched with the concept of Old Master Confucius, then there is nothing unusual about the 'Compassion Theory of Things'." In fact, I think that this compassion is closer to the original meaning of Confucius than the heavenly and human induction, which is about the difference between 108,000 li and 105,000 li...... Compassion says it's the one that is 105,000 miles. ”
Gan Yushu and Ju Zhirong were speechless together.
For them who have been exposed to the induction of heaven and man since childhood, it is still not very acceptable to hear Ning Jiang say that "compassion theory" is closer to the original meaning of Confucius than "heaven and man induction theory...... Although it is only the difference between 108,000 miles and 105,000 miles.
Of course, Ning Jiang doesn't care about this, a pre-Qin Confucianism that can respect ghosts and gods and stay away, the whole thing of heaven and man induction, a famous sentence that respects and advocates Confucius to "repay grievances with virtue", and completely ignores what Confucius really said is "repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue", in the final analysis, it is just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.
What's more, he now knows that the "Heavenly Induction Theory" is something with ulterior motives created by Su Qin, a pseudonym Dong Tianshu, one of the Seven Disciples of the Ghost Valley. As for the so-called Confucian benevolence, it is even more impressive, when the barbarian army was defeated in front of it, the rule was unstable, and it was temporarily unable to invade the south, it ran out and said that it wanted to eliminate the flames of war and resolve hatred.
Gan Yushu looked at him and said, "This time, the imperial court transferred me from Lin'an, and the so-called Baozhou Governor's Mansion gave me are all old and weak soldiers. The Shenwu Left Army was transferred to Lingnan to suppress Pu'an Town, and the Red Turban Army was ordered to enter Rose Lake, and the Broken Army followed, staring at the rear of the Red Turban Army, and let General Huangfulin enter Lin'an, obviously preparing for the replacement of the Xuanfu Envoy of the Southern Sword Xuanwei Division, this series of actions is all aimed at you, what are your plans? ”
Ning Jiang held the folding fan in his hand and let out a long sigh: "Alas, in the end, I used to be too low-key, should I still be high-profile and arrogant?" ”
Gan Yushu smiled and said, "You are still low-key? You're just too high-profile for everyone to target you. Jiuyin Zhenjing, the leader of the Southeast Alliance, has been the champion, has been the prime minister, Momen and Daomen have all risen because of you, even if you are not in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are full of your legends, you are still low-key? ”
Ju Zhirong and Qin Hongyun couldn't help laughing.
Especially Qin Hongyun, who covered her mouth for a while. As his fellow countryman, she has secretly admired his woman from the beginning, but she knows more than anyone else about this young man's publicity, whether it is the earliest, a poem of the Yuehu Poetry Club to become famous, or the later Kongshan poems, Lianzhong Sanyuan, until the later rival barbarians, the world is shaken, this person has never been low-key.
Ning Jiang smiled, changed the topic, and looked at Ju Zhirong: "On the Lingnan side, you don't want to go, there is another task for you......"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Gan Yushu again: "The Governor's Mansion in Baozhou, don't worry about it, you help me go to these places, and you can meet these people on the note." He took out a note and handed it to Ganyushu.
looked at Qin Hongyun again: "There is one thing, you go and help me publicize it everywhere......"
Ju Zhirong was shocked, Gan Yushu opened the note, his face changed slightly, and Qin Hongyun's eyes widened in surprise...... He's actually making such preparations?
Ning Jiang slowly stood up, walked to the window with his hands in his hands, looked at the night scene full of lights outside, and let out a long sigh: "Alas, in fact, I am already very low-key, why don't you understand?" You think I've been very high-profile, and that's because you haven't seen me really high-profile. I'm a good person, but there is only one drawback, and that is that once I get high-profile...... I can't control myself! ”
Ju Zhirong, Gan Yushu, Qin Hongyun: "......"
***
For the next two days, the autumn rain continued.
The drizzle hit the surface of the Qianchao River, splashing countless splashes. On the bank of the Qianchao River, there are figures coming and going, and the willow trees along the shore look misty in the light rain.
Under the dilapidated eaves, the beggars gathered all looked blank and helpless. Jiangnan is originally a land of fish and rice, even if the world is not good now, compared to most other places, it is still good after all. However, the chaos caused by land annexation, coupled with the large number of refugees who fled from the north, was unavoidable.
Among these refugees, there are many landlords and squires in the north, after fleeing to the south, overnight, they became nothing, and the hardship of being driven everywhere now, and even having no place to stand, formed a strong contrast, as if the gods played a huge joke on them.
However, even so, people will always struggle to survive in the mud, life is the last thing they have, but it is also the source of all their suffering. Life goes on and on, suffering goes on and on, and they don't have the courage to end it, and they don't have the ability to end it.
On the other side of the pier, an old woman knelt under a willow tree, clasped her hands together, muttered something in the drizzle, and then poured two carp from the basin into the river. People eat fish in this life, and fish eat people in the next life. Confucius once said that we should repay grievances with virtue, and now this ugly and unbearable world is because everyone has forgotten this, if we can forget hatred and stop the cycle of retribution, this world will undoubtedly be much better...... The old woman, who had never really read the words of the saints before, now truly understood the teachings of the saints.
In the lower reaches of the Qianchao River, there is a place, called the big gap, in the big gap, there is a small island, called the Little Parrot Island, at the beginning of August, when the tide of the Qianchao River rises, the tide head rushes down from the upstream, the momentum is magnificent, the waves crash on the shore, rushed to the Little Parrot Island, and because of the obstruction of the Little Parrot Continent, it is divided into two strands, rushes down left and right, meets below the Little Parrot Island, the two tides collide with each other, forming a cross tide, which is also one of the famous wonders of the Qian Tide.
This year's autumn rain is later than in previous years, and by this moment, the weather has turned cooler, and there is not much sign of the flood season of the money tide.
In the county town south of Little Parrot Island, which is now a world-famous house, once again ushered in its young owner, who was nowhere to be found most of the time.
"Alliance leader, subordinates don't understand, even if the alliance wants to enter Lin'an City, why do you want to make it known to everyone now?" A man dressed as a headcatcher whispered in the back garden, "As soon as you get back here, almost everyone is watching. Shengshang, Lu Yuhao, Changhe Wulin Alliance, and other forces in the open and in the dark......"
The young man in the rain pavilion said: "These people have secretly reached a consensus a long time ago, my existence has hindered the affairs of many people, whether I appear or not, they will not stop." I just appeared in such an open and honest way, and they were not easy to do. This will also relieve the pressure on other people, and instead of letting them cut my wings step by step, it is better to let them come directly at me. ”
That man is Nangong Jiayou of the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions, and now he also has the strength of a grandmaster. He was originally a Xiucai, although he has not been able to pass the examination, but he is also a Confucian background, and later entered the rivers and lakes, entered the White Road, and became the famous capture of the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions, and in the succession turmoil of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, he entered the ancestral cave in the depths of Longhu Mountain.
Since then, he has secretly joined the Heaven and Earth Society, and his identity on the surface is still that of a head catcher affiliated to the Criminal Department. It is precisely because of this identity that he knows better than many people the turbulent undercurrents under the table at this moment. The southern court has begun to enter a situation of partial peace, and the danger of the barbarian invasion of the south can be said to have been lifted, and for the Northern Expedition, the vast majority of people have no confidence, and the squires and heroes who originally lived in the south have little interest.
In this situation, various internal contradictions began to erupt. Confucianism, martial arts, royalty...... Some of the various forces began to fight, and some began to merge. In the complicated situation, yesterday's enemies are likely to be tomorrow's friends, and some people have become everyone's common goal.
Nangong Jiayou said in a low voice: "Please also ask the alliance leader to think again, in this situation, if the alliance leader enters Lin'an, even if we are in Lin'an City, it will be difficult to keep you safe." The imperial court canonized Mr. Mei Jian as the Taibao, followed by Mr. Mei Jian's second apprentice Chen Songba as the crown prince Shaobao, and at the same time, reused Lu Yuhao and indulged in compassion. For these two people, although Imagami is also quite jealous, but under the art of checks and balances, it can be tolerated, but for the alliance leader, you ......"
Ning Jiang smiled: "Why don't I know? But I couldn't help but go. They didn't expect me to dare to enter Lin'an, and when I arrived in Lin'an, they didn't dare to mess around for the time being. If I don't enter Lin'an, then, in Lin'an City, all those who may be inclined to me will be eliminated. Transferring Ganyushu and cutting off the influence of Ganyushu in Lin'an City is just the first step, and immediately after, the court and the market, I'm afraid they will not let go, even you will not be an exception. Just looking at the fact that you have made a lot of contributions over the years, but you have never been able to be promoted in the Criminal Department, you can know that the matter of you secretly doing things for me has already been investigated clearly. The dispatch of the Nanjian Xuanwei Division, the Red Turban Army, and Gan Yushu is just the first step before the real move, and then, if I don't appear, they will also kill me until I appear, Qin Ze, Qin Kan, and you, I'm afraid they are all on the list of what they must kill. My fame is too great, if you kill me, they will have some scruples, Lu Yuhao wants the people of the Changhe Martial Arts Alliance to do it, and the people of the Changhe Martial Arts want to let Lu Yuhao's side do it, they will continue to test like this until they find a balance that is acceptable to both parties. But they won't hesitate to kill you......"
