Chapter 261: Jiangnan is Good in a Dream (Part II)
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass support of afei7086 and Taohuagu wine! Today's first update, 5,000 words
"From now on, a certain Ye Yingwu, as a soldier of the Tianwu Army, will practice with you in the morning." Ye Yingwu said slowly, "I specially came to report to Commander Tian, I wonder if Commander Tian is interested in letting this weak scholar become your subordinate for an hour every day?" β
"Huh?!" Xiao Yangzi was stunned for a moment. And Ye Yingwu's guards in the back also subconsciously shook their heads and shook their ears, didn't they hear it wrong just now, or did their own Ye Yuanjun not wake up in the morning, so his head was not very good?
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva gently, Xiao Yangzi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, just now he was still thinking that this envoy has always been unstoppable, and now he really gave himself such a play, which makes him Xiao Yangzi how good.
Ye Yingwu glanced at him lightly: "What, but do you have an opinion?" β
Before the words fell, Ye Yingwu threw away his coat casually, and then unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his upper body, if Ye Yingwu was just a powerless scholar before, after all, in the past few months, he has led the Tianwu Army to fight in the north and south of the river, rushing all the way, making Ye Yingwu's chest muscles and abdominal muscles feel that they have also been highlighted.
It's just that in the cold wind, what attracted the attention of the guards was not Ye Yingwu's thin skin and tender flesh that was obviously much whiter than them, but the wound on the chest that there was really no way to ignore.
These guards may not be able to dominate the overall situation. But he didn't do a good job in protecting Ye Yingwu Zhouquan, and he didn't have the face to see the "Xingzhou fathers". Now Ye Yingwu showed his scars without hesitation, which made these guards who were not afraid of heaven and earth. There was a drum beating in my heart, and I was very uncomfortable.
Everyone gritted their teeth secretly, clenching the blades in their hands.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yangzi nodded violently: "It's accurate!" Get in the ranks! β
Ye Yingwu straightened his body and responded.
A cup of tea gently fluttered with the wind and the aroma was gently sitting on the second floor of the Ye family's back house, and the table was not a hearty but nutritious breakfast. Although Ye Yingwu got up lightly, after all, he woke up all the maids in Qingping, so Lu Wanyan naturally couldn't sleep if he wanted to sleep more.
Breakfast in the backyard of Yefu. Lu Wanyan likes to use it in the two-story small building of this water pavilion with unique scenery, and several sisters in the back house also yearn for this good place, so it is often a few people who have eaten on the second floor of this water pavilion, and then chatted a few words about the length of the family, and then I don't know if I have lost half a morning.
It's just that today there is obviously something that can attract Lu Wanyan's attention more, so that after she sat down, she didn't look at the ripples in the pond and the weak willows supporting the wind as usual, but looked in the opposite direction, jumped over the wall of the backyard, and could clearly see the scene in front of the front yard.
Twist up a piece of flower cake. Lu Wanyan had no desire to eat.
"Why did my sister get up so early today, and she couldn't take her eyes off it, but she had something on her mind?" Yang Su walked up with a yawn and looked at Lu Wanyan with some surprise. She is a martial arts practitioner, and she naturally has no habit of sleeping lazy, so she is often the first to arrive. Today, when I saw Lu Wanyan one step ahead, I was taken aback.
Lu Wanyan smiled and pointed out the window: "Take a look for yourself." β
Yang Xu was stunned. Immediately, following the direction of her finger, Ye Yingwu's guards in the open space in the front yard fought back and forth with wooden knives and wooden shields, which was very fierce. Yang Xu was suspicious and wanted to ask Lu Wanyan what was wrong with this, but suddenly caught a figure he was familiar with in the crowd, and finally couldn't help but say slowly:
"Husbandγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» husband?"
Lu Wanyan took a bite of the flower cake lightly, nodded solemnly, and looked like you had answered correctly.
"Didn't Fu Junmo come back from Xiangyang, and this battle hasn't been fought enough?" Yang Xuxiu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say softly, it seems that there is only one reason to explain, although Ye Yingwu often went to the barracks before, or inspected all over Xingzhou, but he has never really trained with the Tianwu soldiers, it can be said that he has been "talking on paper" all the time, but this time he didn't know why, and suddenly joined the training of the guards.
Lu Wanyan silently continued to bite the flower cake, don't look over, it seems that she doesn't want to look at her husband who is no longer just a little strange.
Since the founding of Yizu, the Great Song Dynasty has always been a literati to govern the army, only at the critical juncture when Jianyan crossed to the south and the mountains and rivers were broken, the military power would be held in the hands of the "Zhongxing Four Generals" headed by Yue Fei, but that was only when the Jin soldiers committed the border, and after the Southern Song Dynasty Northern Expedition, the military power was once again handed over to the civilian officials represented by Yu Yunwen, it can be said that even if the country is in danger now, the Song court is still adhering to the principle of civilian governance.
And Ye Yingwu is a typical literati who governs the army, Ye Yingwu is a civilian military attachΓ© for the time being, as long as it is someone who is close to him, who doesn't know that this Ye Yuanjun is actually not only a little skilled in martial arts, but can even be said to be a white-faced scholar with no power to bind chickens and a body full of fine skin and tender meat, so although Ye Yingwu single-handedly formed the Tianwu Army and single-handedly created the victory in Xiangyang, but in the eyes of most people, including Lu Wanyan, Ye Yingwu is still a real literati.
But now this literati is pumping like the wind to train, and with a sword and shield in his hand, he is fighting happily with a group of guards, how can it not be amazing.
Qiqin, Qiongluan and Huiniang have all come up one after another, but obviously their interest is not the first breakfast after the family reunion, but their own husband in the yard. Perhaps Ye Yingwu's literati and atmosphere shown here was too heavy, so that when a group of women watched their husbands slash away from a personal guard, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their intertwined eyes no longer knew whether they were worried, loved, or what.
Coughing lightly, Lu Wanyan finally couldn't help but whisper: "Sisters, husband enters Lin'an. Who is going to follow? β
was taken aback by Lu Wanyan's sudden words, and then Hui Niang was the first to jump up. The eyes were already full of anticipation, and then Qiqin and Qiongluan both showed brilliance in their eyes. Apparently curious, too. Lu Wanyan was stunned, and barely squeezed out a smile, as for the rest of Yang Xu, she pursed her lips and said unhurriedly: "The concubine is going to accompany her husband into Lin'an, this time he doesn't want to stop it, the six doors and Jinyiwei will knock on the door of the Imperial City Division if they say anything!" β
Seeing the righteousness that Yang Xu said, the crowd couldn't help but throw her a few rolls, and finally Qiong Luan said helplessly: "After all, there is still a need to keep people to watch at home, and in addition, once there are fewer slaves on the side of Yueyuelou, it is not very reassuring." Then let the Benslave stay. β
Without waiting for Qiong Luan to finish speaking, a topless figure suddenly appeared on the small building, just now all the women were seriously thinking about returning to Jiangnan, and they really didn't notice that their husband was no longer in the courtyard for a while. Ye Yingwu casually picked up the flower scroll that Hui Niang took a bite, and in a moment, the flower scroll that was already small had disappeared in his hand.
Hui Niang was stunned, looking at the man whose sweat beads were flowing down his upper body, and she didn't know what to say for a while. And Ye Yingwu glanced at them in surprise with wide eyes, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, why don't you look right?" It's time to eat. It's time to drink, the sky hasn't fallen, even if it has collapsed, there is still a certain top. β
Even Qiqin's reserved temperament finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. And Lu Wanyan moved a bowl of rice porridge over with a smile: "Drink some porridge, don't choke." β
Hui Niang gently stretched out her hand and gently poked Ye Yingwu's chest and abdomen full of sweat. Then playfully spit out ****, the two of them didn't hug each other before. But today, I feel that Ye Yingwu's whole body seems to be full of strength, and I am afraid that any normal woman will not be able to stop such charm. Especially when this man is equally impressive in terms of poetry and song.
glanced at the several sisters around him with his spare eyes, Lu Wanyan and Qiqin, which of them was not a star eye, and stared directly at Ye Yingwu. Hui Niang suddenly felt at ease in her heart, at least for a while, she didn't just feel her heart fluttering.
ββββββββββββββββββ-
Lin'an, Geling, Jia Rudao Mansion Paradise.
A lonely carriage along the mountain road slowly to the gate of the back garden, although the name is "mountain road", but in fact are neat and uniform blue brick paving, one side extends to the West Lake, one side extends to the Lin'an Imperial City, it can be said that it extends in all directions, even the most prosperous Houshi Street in Lin'an, I am afraid that there is not so flat and wide this Geling Mountain Road.
The surrounding willow trees have pulled out new shoots, and the warm breeze blowing from the West Lake shows that spring has finally come to the most prosperous city in the Southern Song Dynasty and the whole world. The curtain of the car was lifted, and the middle-aged man sitting in the carriage looked at the verdant scene inside and outside the back garden, but his brows were always frowning, but he never relaxed.
It was as if the ice and snow in winter had melted, but the ice and snow in his heart were always frozen.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man with a slightly haggard face was already standing under the carriage, glanced inside, and then said respectfully: "Ying Long has seen Chen Xianggong. β
was so flatteringly called by Weng Yinglong, the man in the car stood up in a hurry and waved his hand: "This Chen Xianggong can't afford it, how old is the foolish brother, if Mr. Weng doesn't dislike it, he will be satisfied with the call 'Brother Hequan'." β
Weng Yinglong couldn't deny it, but just made a gesture of please.
The middle-aged man slowly stepped out of the carriage and carefully looked at the back garden that he was still quite familiar with, but because Jia Nidao had not been concerned about things since the New Year, this was the first time that the middle-aged man came to this Jia Nidao's private residence this year, and it was also the center of power in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
After the garden, after the garden, the worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world, the wise words of Fan Wenzhenggong back then, but now they are used to name such a garden, and I don't know if it is a great irony of history. The middle-aged man stood at the gate of the back garden and hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind to take a step and walked in.
It's as if this paradise is a bottomless black hole, and once you step into it, you will never be able to get out of this hole.
Looking at Weng Yinglong, who was leading the way diligently, and then looking at the back garden at the door, which was obviously much more depressed than the last time, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh softly, and the cars and horses in front of the door were cold, I am afraid that this is what it feels like. But I still walked into this step by step.
The middle-aged man followed Weng Yinglong's figure along the corridor, and the original singing and dancing in the back garden was endless. By this time they were all gone, and the maidservants who often came and went with sumptuous drinks and dishes. They were all gone, only one or two servants were carefully dusting the floor, and the pavilions and attics that had once been regarded by the Lin'an officials as the location of the Golden Cave and Bliss seemed to be immersed in this rare loneliness and desertion.
Although the willow trees in the courtyard are swaying their branches in the wind, it is difficult to find the dots of emerald green on them, as if the spring color has been blocked from the outside of this paradise, and the ice and snow and wind in the whole courtyard are still lingering.
Subconsciously shuddered, and the middle-aged man tried his best to look back at the door he had just walked through. Finally, it slammed shut.
"Chen Yizhong, Chen Yizhong, you are finally desperate now, and you have chosen this step, but you don't know which is right and which is wrong!" The middle-aged man muttered, not so much to himself, but to the lonely wind that kept blowing.
"What is on Chen Xianggong's mind?" Weng Yinglong saw the middle-aged man walking slower and slower in front of him, and couldn't help but ask. Now that Jia Rudao is almost at the time when the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing, being able to have one or two guests come to the door really makes Weng Yinglong excited. What's more, the person in front of him is not only capable, but also occupies a vital place in the imperial court.
This Chen Yizhong originally relied on his thighs to hold Jia Yidao, and played an irreplaceable vanguard in the impeachment of Cheng Yuanfeng, which made Cheng Yuanfeng, a pillar of the court and a former important minister of the court, leave Lin'an. The overseer Hanshui had a yin and yang intersection with Ye Yingwu's Tianwu army, but after that, Cheng Yuanfeng went directly back to his hometown in Huizhou. It's a return to the old man.
Because of this incident, the officials of Jiang Wanli's faction had to regard this Chen Yizhong as an enemy and a minion of Jia Yidao. And it is also because of this incident that Jia Rudao has endured a lot of pressure from the government and the opposition. Therefore, it is difficult for Chen Yizhong to make progress after coming to the step of supervising the imperial history.
Originally, according to Chen Yizhong's idea, his best choice was to go to the state capital below to have some training, but now because Jia Yidao and his party in the court have been worried about Ye Yingwu, a young man who has risen like a comet, no one is in the mood to care about the matter of supervising the imperial history and applying for external transfer, so Chen Yizhong can only feel the waste of time in Lin'an now.
After all, the official position of supervising the imperial history may have been an absolute ruthless role above the Song court before, and it was also a person who had to be wooed by both sides, but with Jia Nidao's dominance, supervising the imperial history no longer has much effect, after all, no one has the courage to impeach Jia Nidao openly, and Jia Nidao will not let this official position fall into the hands of others.
For a time, Chen Yizhong became the most idle one in Jia Yidao's party.
Of course, if he is a member of Jia Rudao's party. After all, Chen Yizhong and Jia Yidao only used each other in the relationship, one used Chen Yizhong as a gunman, and the other used Jia Yidao's power to seize a position in the officialdom, and the two sides were also a fair deal. Chen Yizhong did not deliberately embarrass Jia Yidao in the following aspects, but he was also business-like, and did not say that he wanted to pat Jia Yidao's sycophants, which also led to Chen Yizhong not being a frequent visitor to the back garden.
But now it's different, Chen Yizhong walked into the back garden at this time, saw the loneliest moment of the back garden, and finally made the most difficult but crucial choice in his life. After all, in his opinion, Jia Rudao is an evergreen tree in the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty, and he doesn't know how many ups and downs he has experienced, how can he say that he can fall down, and Jiang Wanli, who was once arrogant at the beginning, did not end up gloomily in the end?
So in this way, Ye Yingwu, who has a lot of talent for fighting, although he is famous, and even forced Lu Wenhuan to rebel, but he only has a little experience on the battlefield, and when he comes to Lin'an, with Jia Yidao's skills for so many years, he is still worried that he can't subdue a little Ye Yingwu.
This is Lin'an, not Xingzhou, not Xiangyang!
And Ye Yingwu's new opponent is not Ah Shu and those barbaric and uncultivated Mongolian Tatars, but Jia Yidao, but him Chen Yizhong and Weng Yinglong!
A hideous smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yizhong's mouth, and he looked at Weng Yinglong: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about that Ye Yuanjun, what are you thinking about now." β
Weng Yinglong was slightly stunned, and then shook his head, Chen Yizhong, Chen Yizhong, don't take the enemy too lightly, Ye Yingwu's methods have been experienced personally. At the same time, Weng Yinglong also felt the bitterness from the bottom of his heart, with such a companion, I don't know if he will win or lose even worse?
This Lin'an is a tiger's den in Longtan at any time, and now it is even more undercurrent, Ye Yingwu, I don't know how you will behave? (To be continued.) )
