Chapter 130: I came to ask for advice
Ye Yu listened to these people talk about the affairs of the imperial court, but he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he was not as well-informed as these people. But whether what these people say is true or not, you have to find out more when you go back.
He, the magistrate, was busy with trivial matters of people's livelihood all day long, but he didn't pay much attention to these things.
When the guests in the teahouse gradually dispersed, Ye Yu also left the wing room and prepared to leave. However, the shopkeeper of the teahouse is soft and hard, hoping that Ye Yu can leave Mobao to add fame to the teahouse.
Ye Yu has always been too lazy to show off his calligraphy, especially after he has won the exam, he has left pen and ink lightly. Today, although the shopkeeper of the teahouse was soft and hard, Ye Yu did not directly agree.
However, he is not ignorant of human feelings, and now the tea business has covered the entire Jianghuai and other places, and this Anfeng County is naturally no exception. Therefore, he promised the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and the purchase of tea in the future will go directly to the tea house and enjoy a 20% discount.
After returning to the county office, the sky was gradually getting dark, and as soon as I came to the back hall, I saw the scholar Ah Kuan hurriedly walking over: "Young master, there is a letter from the capital!" ”
"Oh? It's just in time! Ye Yu didn't say anything more, but stood up directly from the wheelchair after the door was closed.
After taking the letter, he sat down in front of the table, opened it and read through the letter, and then understood that what everyone in the teahouse said was true, the Jin Kingdom, Western Liao, and Western Xia would soon send envoys to gather in the capital Lin'an.
Now this matter is no secret in Lin'an, but for the distant Anfeng, the news is very closed. However, what made Ye Yu feel pity was that She Dongcheng's letter did not explain the intention of the three kingdoms.
But even so, it made Ye Yu feel that it was probably a bad person to come!
Thinking of the end, Ye Yu laughed at himself, because it had nothing to do with him at all. He's just a small magistrate, and even if there's something big, it's not his turn to worry about it. As the guests in the teahouse said, the court has its own people to manage national affairs, so why bother with that idleness.
However, Ye Yu was very dissatisfied with She Dongcheng's efficiency, even if this news was not of much use to him, but the transmission of this news was so delayed, which made Ye Yu very disappointed!
In the following days, Ye Yu was still busy with county affairs and people's livelihood chores, and he had long forgotten about the so-called Three Kingdoms. But some things are always unavoidable, and what should come will eventually come.
The cold desert footprints are gone, the boundless fine snow is chaotic and leisurely, and the mighty delegation team of the Western Xia is slowly coming to the capital Lin'an. The envoy who came to the Song Dynasty this time was the younger brother of Emperor Li Renxiao of Western Xia Shizong, Li Renyou, the king of Yue.
Li Renyou, dressed in a mink fur, sat casually in the wide carriage, holding a leather wine jug and pouring a few sips of wine from time to time. Sitting opposite him was a Confucian official, respectfully standing aside.
This person is Luo Wanming, the left prime minister of Western Xia, and his sister is the queen of Western Xia.
"Lord Luo, you said that this time the Jin Kingdom invited us to go to the Song Land together, can it really frustrate its spirit?" Li Renyou's words were very casual, but his tone was unquestionable.
Luo Wanming pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "King Yue already has the answer in his heart, so why bother asking the lower officials ...... again?"
"Hahaha! You old fox, you just don't get set! ”
Li Renyou glanced at Luo Wanming and said angrily: "But no matter what, let's wait and see what happens!" Even if my Great Xia Kingdom has always taken the Jin Kingdom as its suzerain, I don't have to offend the Song Kingdom because of the Jin Kingdom! ”
"What King Yue said is extremely true, my Great Xia Kingdom is located between Song, Jin, and Liao, and its geographical location is extremely complicated, so it is best to be neutral! If the Jin Kingdom wants to humiliate the Song Dynasty this time in order to establish supreme prestige, then we can watch the fire from the other side! ”
Li Renyou nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "The imperial brother is quite effective in governing the country with literature, and even this king is quite interested in the things of this literati and inkman. ”
There is rarely heavy snow south of the Yangtze River, but this year is particularly strange, and it has been snowing heavily since the beginning of winter. At this time, from the far northwest, a contingent of missions was also coming to Lin'an.
The guards of the Western Liao, who were covered by cold armor, surrounded the Fengluan chariot to face the wind and snow, except for the thick footsteps of the march, all the sounds were muffled by the wind and snow.
In Fengluan's car, a beautiful woman in alien costumes was sitting on the side, looking at Xiao Duolubu opposite and said with a smile: "Brother, do you think Jiangnan is very beautiful?" ”
Xiao Duolubu smiled when he heard this, and then said without hesitation: "That's nature, especially in spring and summer, it's a beautiful scenery of ten miles of blue waves!" The scenery is beautiful, the people are more beautiful......"
Seeing Xiao Duolubu's description so beautiful, the woman was suffocating: "No wonder my brother always likes to run to the Song Kingdom, and no wonder my brother doesn't agree to our family affairs for a long time!" ”
"Cough, Pu Suwan, you know, I have always treated you as a sister, besides, how dare I afford to climb high with my loose temperament?"
"But the royal brother has a life, see how long you can delay?" The woman who spoke was about twenty years old, and she was the youngest sister of the current Emperor of Western Liao, [Yelupu Suwan], and this time she followed Xiao Duolubu as a delegation to the Song Kingdom.
What Ye Lu Pu said made Xiao Duolubu sigh slightly and be silent. Whether it is the former Liao State or the Western Liao that has come back from the dead, the Xiao family has always been the first nobleman in China in addition to the royal family!
And the Yelu royal family and the Xiao family have also been married for generations, which seems to have become a rule. He, Xiao Duolubu, is the eldest son of the Xiao family and the son of the king of the Southern Courtyard, and this marriage is really not up to him.
Seeing that Xiao Duolubu was silent, [Yelupu finished quickly] took the initiative to speak: "This time, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom invited us to send an envoy to the Song Kingdom, and it seems that he is confident!" ”
"Yes, if we hadn't come prepared, how could you have invited us to be a bystander with such fanfare!"
"If this move is successful, then Song Guo's face will be gone! If a nation is humiliated in public by an outsider, even the most fundamental and proudest thing! This is more than the million male soldiers who stormed the city, and the damage caused was ten times and a hundred times! ”
Xiao Duolubu glanced at the woman in front of him, and then agreed: "The Song State has been weak for a long time, although the current Song Emperor Zhao Yan has made great achievements, but it is difficult to strengthen the country with soldiers!" Now, if I fail on this again, I'm afraid it will ......."
"This palace thinks that this is really bad for my Daliao, the Jin Kingdom has ruined our homeland, and now we can only settle in the bitter cold land in the northwest. If the Song Kingdom is allowed to fall and destroy itself, we will probably have to follow in the footsteps of Daliao in the future! ”
"Oh? You have also seen this, and it seems that he is right, you are indeed a not simple woman, and you have a good eye for current affairs......"
Xiao Duolubu smiled, and then said with a solemn expression: "Now that Li Renxiao has basically surrendered to the Jin State, if even the Song State, which is the only threat to the two countries, falls, then our Great Liao will usher in an eventful autumn!" ”
"However, I don't think Jin Guo will succeed this time! At least one person, they can't get around! Xiao Duolubu smiled confidently as if he had a deep meaning, and his eyes showed a long-lost expectation.
He was slightly stunned, but then he seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "What you said, could it be that you met that person in Jiangnan?" ”
"Yes, that's him!"
"Is he as good as you say? By the way, who is so bold as the person who said that this palace is not simple? ”
"It's him!"
"Is that him?"
"Or is he ......"
……
On the fifteenth day of the eighth year of the main road, the envoys of Liao and Xia all arrived in Lin'an, but only the envoys of Jin State did not arrive for a long time.
However, just when the envoys of the two countries, as well as the Southern Song court, were thinking about the reason, the Jin delegation had already entered the Song Dynasty......
White Deer Cave Academy, lecture hall.
The tables and chairs are lined up in an orderly manner, and the wide school hall is enough to accommodate more than 500 people! As one of the eight academies of the Southern Song Dynasty, its scale is also worthy of its name, and it is a majestic asset.
Under a portrait of Confucius, an old master with a white beard sits in front of the table and holds a feather fan, gently strokes his beard and says leisurely: "The article is the expression of the heart, and the calligraphy is the appearance of the article!" ”
"Practicing calligraphy is equivalent to self-cultivation, once calligraphy is successful, it will naturally be clear-sighted! At that time, you will understand the principle of Confucius! Do you understand? ”
The old master talked eloquently, and the students present were also very respectful, and said in unison: "Thank you for your teachings!" ”
As soon as the students finished speaking, there was a cacophony outside the gate, followed by a wild laugh. The crowd followed the prestige, but saw a man dressed in gold break in.
The old master sitting in the high hall thought that this person was rude, and saw that this person was dressed in gold clothes, so he angrily reprimanded: "This is the place where the sages study, how can you be allowed to make a mistake!" ”
"Hahaha, teaching these crappy calligraphy, don't say anything clear-sighted, even writing letters for people on the street, I'm afraid it's not qualified!"
"Humph! Who are you to dare to speak wildly and break into the lecture hall in vain! Even if you are from Jinguo, don't you know the rules? The old master was so angry that he immediately looked at him angrily and asked.
This Jin Guoren smiled heartily and said very unreasonably: "The family teacher heard that there is a gentleman surnamed Meng here, who writes well!" Therefore, I made a special trip to see if this Mr. Meng is really capable, or is he in vain! ”
"You! ……”
"Apprentice, Hugh is rude!"
Just as the two were confronting each other, a middle-aged Confucian in purple walked in from outside the door! Although this person is dressed as a golden man, his temperament is very elegant. If it weren't for this exotic costume, it would be like a great Confucian of the Han people.
The man in purple first bowed three times to the portrait of Confucius, and then saluted the old master in front of him and said: "I heard that the calligraphy of Master Mengzi is unmatched in the Great Song Dynasty, and I made a special trip to visit today to ask for advice!" ”
(The second update is over, tomorrow will be more exciting!) Different competition, different passion...... )
