Chapter 48
As Yue Fei said, Huang Daren repeatedly emphasized that he was not afraid of death, but proved that he was afraid of death. was taken to the prefect's prison, and before the execution, he confessed everything he knew.
Huang Daren is the master of Amitabha Buddhism. Chen Fu is Chen Shenxian's apprentice, and his status is higher than that of Huang Daren. This assassination was proposed by Chen Fu. Because Chen Fu wants to avenge his master Chen Shenxian. Although Yue Fei, Meng Hun and others have always claimed that after Chen Shenxian was captured, he recruited an auspicious cloud, sat on the cloud and ran away. But Chen Fu, as Chen Shenxian's apprentice, naturally knew how many catties and taels the master had. He firmly believed that Chen Shenxian was secretly executed by Yue Fei and others.
After the two were arrested, there was no high-level Amitabha Buddhism in the entire Yingtianfu. Although there are still secret followers of Amitabha Buddhism in the counties, in the eyes of Chen and Huang, they are not reliable.
Because there were no reliable followers, the assassination could only be carried out by Chen Fu Huang Daren himself.
After Huang Zong asked Huang Daren's confession, he hurriedly told Yue Fei and Li Bashao, asking them if they wanted to arrest all the believers whose names Huang Daren had named. Although Li Bashao was extremely angry at the assassination of Huang and Chen, he calmed down and felt that Amitabha Buddhism was no longer terrifying. So it is recommended that Huang indulge them and let them go.
Li Bashao stated his reasons. "Since even Huang Chen and the others don't dare to trust those sect members, doesn't it just prove that those sect members will not cause chaos? It's better not to arrest them, just let the villagers everywhere closely monitor them. ”
Huang Zong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Li Bashao still didn't agree to Xingshi and move the crowd. "Although Mr. Li's love for the people is good, the government controls the people, not only to give grace, but also to threaten. Otherwise, the criminal law will be abandoned, and the people will no longer be afraid of punishment. Since the imperial court has already legislated prohibiting the people from trusting Amitabha Buddhism, they still secretly believe in it, and it is also appropriate to arrest them. ”
Yue Fei also agreed with Huang Zong's opinion, and said to Li Bashao, "If the villagers are in turmoil, they will suffer from the oppression of the filthy officials, and they will not survive, so they will rise up." But Amitabha Buddhism is different, even if the people who are brainwashed by them live a worry-free life, under the order of the head of the church, they will kill people and set fires, and do everything. The teachings of Amitabha Buddhism led them to believe that living in the world was only to suffer sin. Since these people have violated the criminal law, they cannot be let go by the ass that they have not done harm. The reason why they didn't get Chen Fu's trust may not be that they are really unreliable, but that Ah Fu thinks they are unreliable. Mr. Li is benevolent and respectable, but cult members cannot use common sense to deduce it. ”
Li Bashao was persuaded by Yue Fei and Huang Zong, so Ying Tianfu quickly dispatched a people's protection army, and within a few days, all the believers recruited by Huang Daren were arrested.
The arrest of the Amitabha Buddhists did not cause panic among the people, but rather made them feel more at ease. After all, the ruins of Mulan Village are still there, if anyone thinks that Amitabha Buddhism is a living Pusa to save the suffering and save the suffering, a good team for the Heavenly Way, let them go to Mulan Village, the truth will make them shut up.
The believers of the Amitabha Sect lurking in Yingtian were swept away, but Yue Fei's heart did not calm down. On the contrary, it is getting more and more chaotic. The reason for the upset is because there is an extra woman in my heart.
Since meeting Li Xiao'e at the birthday banquet, Yue Fei began to visit the Li Mansion often. He had been to Li's Mansion more than a dozen times before, but he had never met Li Xiao'e. After the birthday banquet, every time I go to Li's house, I will meet Li Xiao'e.
They quickly went from being shy and blushing when they first met to being friends who talked about everything.
Yue Fei likes to talk to Li Xiao'e, and only when he talks to Li Xiao'e, Yue Fei will let go of all kinds of worries and enjoy a short relaxing time. Li Xiao'e also likes to talk to Yue Fei. Before meeting Yue Fei, Li Xiao'e could only chat with the girl Fluttershy. Fluttershy is a quirky girl, but she can't understand some of Lee's words.
There is a pond in the back garden of the Li house, and the pond is planted with soft weeping willows. Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e sat on the stone bench under the tree, chatting and talking.
Li Xiao'e is well-read and knowledgeable. Although Yue Fei is not a simple martial artist, he can write words and recite poems, but he reads more military books and battle strategies. So when talking to Li Xiao'e, you will always unconsciously get involved in the military. When it comes to poetry and words, Yue Fei is really not Li Xiao'e's opponent.
But Li Xiao'e is not like other women, she likes to listen to the wind and snow, and she is tired of hearing the art of military armor. More than once, he said to Yue Fei, who was ashamed of his lack of learning, "Brother Yue, poetry is just a small way, it can't stabilize the country, it can't save the people's suffering, what Brother Yue has learned is the way that all the people urgently need." ”
Yue Fei looked at Li Xiao'e's eyes and asked, "Doesn't Sister Xiao'e think my words are boring?" ”
A trace of red clouds flew over Li Xiao'e's face, and she also looked at Yue Fei's eyes, and said softly, "As long as it is what Brother Yue says, I love to listen to it." ”
When Yue Fei left Li's house and returned to the barracks to deal with military affairs, his mind was full of Li Xiao'e's smiling shadow.
After practicing martial arts twice in the morning and evening, Yue Fei also lost his previous meditation.
The punches that were punched out were no longer lethal, and the iron spears that were stabbed out also lost their indomitable murderous aura and became soft.
Yue Fei was very angry at his weakness. It seems that he can't be a hero anymore. I can't let go of the love of my children.
But more often, what Yue Fei felt was warmth and happiness.
Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband.
Instead of being a ruthless and unrighteous emperor, it is better to be a loving and righteous hero. The former is just a beast of power, but the latter is always human.
This is the first time in Yue Fei's life that he has enjoyed the feeling of love. He never imagined that the love between men and women could make people so worried. Heroes are short of breath, children are long, and the ancients are true.
Although Yue Fei had a marriage, his ex-wife Liu was ordered by his parents, and the words of the matchmaker had no emotional foundation at all.
Liu is a typical country woman, who just wants to eat and drink well at home and live a safe life. She couldn't get used to Yue Fei, who had big ambitions. She thinks that Yue Fei is a mud leg, and he the heart of the country, which is purely full of food. No matter how good you practice martial arts, can you still be a general?
Because the Liu family often sneered at Yue Fei, the relationship between the two was very tense.
Yue Fei participated in the Pingding Army and did not return for several months, and Liu thought that Yue Fei must be no longer in the army, so he decisively remarried a merchant in Xiangzhou City.
When Yue Fei returned home from the Pingding Army, he found that he had become the laughing stock of men in Tangyin County. What about the invincibility of a county? can't even keep his wife, what kind of hero is he?
Yue Fei's group of brothers and sisters all said that they wanted to kill the Liu family, but they were all persuaded by Yue Fei.
Yue Fei was actually very angry, but he had no intention of killing Liu.
Liu did humiliate him, but not to the point of being killed.
Compared with the men of the same era, Yue Fei is more like a modern man, and his machismo thinking is extremely weak. Yue Fei has never been a murderer.
Yue Fei couldn't imagine how to face the Yue Yun brothers and sisters after killing the Liu family. After all, his two children were pitiful enough, and he didn't want them to suffer anymore.
However, Liu's departure still dealt a big blow to Yue Fei. In the past few years, Yue Fei has lived a completely ascetic life. In addition to reading military books every day, it is to work hard. traveled to various places and met countless women, but none of them could make Yue Fei's heart move.
It wasn't until he met Li Xiao'e, who was dressed in plain clothes like Chang'e, that Yue Fei was moved.
Li Xiao'e is beautiful, knowledgeable and well-read, born in a wealthy family, but does not have the arrogance of a young lady. Kind-hearted and does not despise anyone. If Li Xiao'e was not like this, Guo Jin, the banner leader of the Protector Army, would have starved to death on the streets of Yingtian.
Yue Fei regretted more than once that he rejected Li Bashao's marriage proposal. He very much hoped that Li Bashao would propose marriage again, but Li Bashao just didn't speak.
Since Li Bashao did not take the initiative to propose, Yue Fei decided to take the initiative himself. He wanted to ask the prefect Huang Zong to be a matchmaker and go to Li's house to propose marriage. However, before officially proposing, Yue Fei felt that he had to ask Li Xiao'e what he thought.
He has already suffered the loss of the arranged marriage, but he can't let Li Xiao'e suffer this loss again.
So Yue Fei once again boarded the door of the Li family and asked Li Xiao'e very directly by the willow pond, "Sister Xiao'e, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Li Xiao'e immediately bowed her head and was silent, but her face was as red as an early morning cloud.
When Yue Fei saw that Li Xiao'e didn't answer, his heart was cold, thinking that Li Xiao'e didn't want to marry him. Yue Fei said in a low voice, "Sister Xiao'e, I originally wanted to ask Governor Huang to propose marriage tomorrow, but since you don't agree, I won't force you." Anyway, I haven't told Governor Huang about this yet. ”
After Yue Fei said this, he turned around to leave. Since Li Xiao'e is unwilling to marry him, he can no longer be alone with Li Xiao'e, otherwise it will make people gossip and ruin Li Xiao'e's reputation.
How did Yue Fei know that the reason why Li Xiao'e bowed her head and remained silent was completely out of the shyness of her daughter's family. Although Li Xiao'e is not a weak woman, she is not a female man like Hua Ruyu. It wasn't until he heard that Yue Fei was leaving, he raised his head, looked at Yue Fei and said, "Brother Yue, you can come and propose tomorrow." ”
After saying this, he returned to the main hall with a red face. Fluttershy, the ghost girl who was hiding next to her and eavesdropping, immediately changed her tune and began to call Aunt Yue Fei. "Uncle, my sister Xiao'e has left, why are you still stupid? Hurry up and go to Lord Huang to propose marriage. ”
Yue Fei looked up and found that Li Xiao'e had long since disappeared. He immediately patted Fluttershy on the head and strode out of Li's house and walked straight to the yamen.
Huang Zong was handling a case in the court, and when he saw Yue Fei coming, he thought that Yue Fei had something important to say, so he hurriedly introduced it into the back hall. When he heard that Yue Fei was going to propose marriage to him, he immediately laughed. "Pengju, you should have said this a long time ago. Do you know that Li Lao has already treated you as a son-in-law. In my opinion, you and Miss Li are a natural pair. You don't need to say it, I'll go to the Li Mansion tonight to propose to you. ”
Huang Zong did what he said, and after leaving the hall, he didn't take off his official uniform directly, and went to the Li Mansion. As soon as he saw Li Bashao, he immediately laughed and said, "Congratulations to Elder Li, Pengju will change his voice to call you Lord Taishan in the future." ”
Li Bashao had already learned about Yue Fei's marriage from Fluttershy's mouth. That ghost girl was originally Li Bashao's spy. Immediately laughed and said, "Let that kid from Pengju get hired quickly, the crisp weather in autumn is a good time for men and women to get married." ”
Yue Fei was rewarded, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Immediately asked Huang Zong to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac and go to Li's house to hire.
As soon as Ji Qian heard that Yue Fei was going to be hired, she gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind to hire Hua Ruyu, whether it was a violent wife, who would dare to provoke me Ji Qian in the future, the husband and wife were flattened together.
And Xu Qing, who has always been wooden, was also hired by Hua Xiaoqi at Hua Xiaoqi's strong request.
One guest does not bother the two masters, and the three guests do not bother the two masters. The matchmakers of the three people are all Huang Zong.
July 29 is the last auspicious day of the zodiac in July, and it is advisable to hire and marry. Ying Tianfu, who settled down, had countless couples hired or married on that day. But decades later, the people of Ying Tianfu only remembered three pairs of newcomers.
Ying Tian's storyteller likes to talk about this happy event in the teahouse, and he often pat the wood, look at the audience around, and say loudly, "The day of July 29 is a rare good day in a hundred years, and it has long been calculated by Huang Xiang, who knows astronomy and geography. One king and two candidates were hired at the same time. Break the capture and wait for Ji Qian to hire Hua Ruyu, and Ding Jun Hou Xu Qing to hire Hua Xiaoqi. Don't look at the three of them now, they are all rich in China now, but they were all penniless at that time, and they were all born poor. The dowry of the three people is different. Ji Poyu's dowry is a pair of iron maces, and Hua Ruyu returns a flower gun. Xu Dingjun's dowry was a steel knife made by himself, and his hair was broken. What took Xiao Qi back was a piece of clothing made by himself. They are all coarse people, so the dowry given is also a coarse gift. But King Yue and Empress Li are different, their dowry is extremely elegant. Yue Wang knew that Li Hou loved the words of Master Su the most, so Wang's dowry was a picture of Master Su's own words, when is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky. And Empress Li's return gift happened to be the word of Master Su, and Da Jiangdong went. It turns out that King Yue also loves the words of the Great Su Bachelor. The magistrate asked, since King Yue was born poor and didn't take money, how could there be Mr. Su's calligraphy and paintings. The officials don't know, don't talk about King Yue, even Master Li Ba is known as rich, and there is absolutely no calligraphy and painting of Master Su at home. The level is not enough. So the magistrate asked again, where did the two calligraphy and paintings of Master Dasu come from? This is going to start from the day Li Yi'an came to our Ying Tianfu. ”
