Chapter VII Jingtai

How many people are doing the same thing at the same moment?

When Song Yang sighed gloomily in the remote town of Nanli, thousands of miles away, in the inner courtyard of the palace of Zou Cheng, Yandu, Emperor Yan Jingtai was also sighing, his dog died.

When Jingtai ascended the throne for ten years, one of the congratulatory gifts sent by Tubo was the golden-eyed snow mountain lion mastiff.

Jingtai loves this dog because it is loyal. He tried.

The dogs on the plateau are difficult to survive in the south of the Lingxiu River, and soon after being carried, the snow mastiff was seriously ill and dying. A talented person in the palace surnamed the dog, reluctant to die like this when it was still a fluffy little thing, it really took a lot of thought, carefully took care of the snow mastiff, and finally helped it through the disaster, the snow mastiff gradually grew up, majestic and fierce, and it only recognized two people in the whole palace: Emperor Jingtai and the talent.

The talented man was very happy, but Jingtai was very curious, he wanted to know who was the real owner of the snow mastiff, so one day, he took the snow mastiff to find the talented man, retired and closed the door...... First the emperor's shout, followed by the barking of the vicious dog, and finally the terrible scream of the talent, and when the door of the dormitory opened again, the snow mastiff's fangs and sharp teeth were stained with blood, and the throat of the talented person was torn off, Jingtai looked happy, he knew the answer, and he was quite satisfied.

Then, he stretched out his hand and slapped the top of the snow mastiff's head, and scolded with a smile: "I wanted you to take two bites, you are not light or heavy, and you actually bit people to death." The snow mastiff whined twice, not understanding why the master had beaten him......

Since then, except for the last dynasty, he will take this good dog with him everywhere, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the good dog has become an old dog, his minions are not falling off his mane, he began not to eat or drink a few days ago, and he has persisted until now, and finally exhaled his last breath.

The snow mastiff died in the imperial study, right at his master's feet. At this time, there were two people in the house, who were presenting important tasks, Jingtai waved them off, squatted down and reached out to pull the dog's ears. Soon, the snow mastiff's head and ears were torn and bloody, Jingtai confirmed that the dog was dead, sighed heavily, looked up at the minister in front of him, and said: "The most loyal one in the world is dead." ”

Emperor Jingtai is more than forty years old, his body is slightly blessed, he looks uglier than ordinary people, his nose and mouth are small, his eyebrows are sparse, but when he reaches the peak of his eyebrows, he becomes thicker again, and he picks up obliquely, like two knife marks.

Rao is the two ministers are quick to respond and scheming, and they don't know how to respond to his words and show loyalty? Fight with a dead dog, who is the most loyal one in the world? All he could do was to persuade His Majesty to mourn, and he was terrified in his heart, secretly scolding that it was not the right time for the old dog to die...... Everyone knows what kind of person Jingtai is, and when his favorite dog dies, he will report to him about political affairs, and his luck is really bad.

Jingtai wiped the blood on the snow mastiff, got up and returned to his seat, and his eyes wandered around the two ministers in front of him for a moment: "Do you think you are unlucky?" Rest assured, I won't be angry with you, dogs are dogs, and people are people. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the minister who was just halfway through speaking: "Go on, what's wrong with Nanli?" ”

The minister bowed: "At the end of last autumn, there was a fire in Nanli Kuitang, in which the raised masters were killed and wounded, and no one could send a first-class fight. ”

Jingtai was curious: "What kind of strange person?" ”

"Soma, animal tamers, dancers... There are many and wide encompassing. "Nanli Kyushu selected talents, and there was a vigorous scene, and this matter couldn't be hidden from people at all.

Jingtai laughed: "Could it be that Nanli sent a circus troupe to my one-product competition?" ”

The minister shook his head: "As far as the minister knows, the ten wizards have real talents, maybe they don't need to pay attention to it, but it's not appropriate to take it too lightly." "Panic is panic, the minister still said what he should say, and even his words don't need to be too careful, this is the difference between the two Han courts of Dayan and Nanli.

Jingtai was brutal, but he preferred to kill sycophants to ministers who were not too polite.

Sure enough, there was no trace of anger on Jingtai's face, but nodded and smiled: "I understand, I understand, they don't want to fight and are afraid of losing their physique, so they make a juggling team to show the prestige of the country, are they here to bluff people." They can't scare me, they can't scare you, but they can't guarantee that others won't be bluffed by them. Not to mention the entire Dayan, just me, the people of the city, if I mention Nanli, I feel that it is wild and terrible, and I am not happy. ”

Zou City, also known as 'Eye City', takes the meaning of the finishing touch, and the Middle Earth Shenglong is the eye, the most vivid and beautiful city in the world.

Emperor Jingtai has been on the throne for 22 years, and he has taken the initiative to declare war five times externally, and twice to conquer in person, not to mention internally, he has really done a lot of great things, but what he is most proud of is a study he has held.

Four years ago, in the name of the royal family, the imperial court invited domestic scholars to talk about the way of heaven and man in Zoucheng, and finally one person overpowered the sages...... The important thing is not who this person is, but the truth in his mouth, 'Shang said': Yan is on the top, the Yan people are on the top, when the Lord Quartet, other clans are cheap, so they will serve, otherwise they will be killed.

After the study, the "Shangshuo" was written into a book, supplemented by countless side commentaries, and the harm of barbarians and other races, the contempt, the imperial court spent Pang Hao's energy to promote it in all directions, first Hanlin, Xiangxue, scholars, and then the common people, in four years, it was the largest government affairs in the hands of all courtiers, even if Jingtai pulled out the Fu family, causing the government and the opposition to shake, the promotion of "Shangshuo" did not delay a little.

It is the will of the people that is agitated and the arrogance that is provoked.

This matter has finally achieved initial results, and the Yan people have been unprecedentedly xenophobic. If you are hated and contempted, you will naturally have the will to fight...... After a few years of hard work, he finally provoked some 'public opinion', and the battle of five countries and one product was originally a good show of 'adding fuel to the fire', and he was fully sure of winning the championship Jingtai.

Only Nan Li, suddenly there was a 'crooked evil way', it was not the samurai who came, it was not glorious to win, let them show Nan Li's strengths, and the madness of the Yan people who were rising layer by layer was undoubtedly a sharp setback. Jingtai rolled his eyelids and looked at the minister: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

The minister calmly replied: "It's not difficult. Soma and beast taming are still passed from us to Nanli, they are just students, Dayan is the ancestor, just find someone to compare them, I will do this immediately. ”

Jingtai shook his head: "Feng Long got a juggling team, I'm going to follow and get one?" It doesn't make sense. As he spoke, he suddenly laughed: "Let's fight, it's very worry-free." ”

The minister was stunned: "The minister is stupid ......"

Jingtai didn't sleep much last night, he was a little tired at the moment, he yawned, and his voice was a little out of shape: "Before the Dragon Boat Festival, you don't have to make too much trouble, it's enough to lay down the two city passes of Fenglong and take tens of thousands of heads from his south." With this battle at the bottom, there is no need to say anything. When the first product is played, it is generous to let Nanli's juggling team perform on stage. ”

Nanli Xiangma is powerful? Dayan won the battle.

Nanli is clever at taming beasts? Dayan won the battle.

Nanli smelting iron and fine carpentry? Dayan won the battle.

……

Even if Nanli is full of immortals, all living Buddhas, but Dayan won the battle!

As long as they win a battle before the Dragon Boat Festival, Nanli's Qishi Mission will really become a juggling team, let them go on stage to perform and play well, the greater their skills, the more ridicule they will get from the people of Zoucheng. If it is really so strong, how can it not stop the iron hooves of Yan Kingdom?

The emperor could not be presumptuous before driving, but the minister still gasped, and then fell to his knees with a grunt, and his voice was hurried: "Your Majesty, you can't fight." ”

The matter of swords and soldiers, it is not said that it can be moved, the countries of Middle-earth check and balance each other, although the southern Li is weak, but it is also a part of maintaining this balance, Yan Chong's troops go south, most of the western and northern countries will take advantage of the weakness, and the farthest Uighurs may not be honestly watching, leading a line and messing up the overall situation, no one dares to say what kind of situation it will be at that time, but the possibility of Yan falling into heavy pressure on three sides is very high.

Jingtai had long known that he would kneel like this, waved his hands and smiled: "Get up, I understand what you mean." As I said earlier, don't make too much of a fuss. I didn't want to kill Nanli, I just hit Feng Long a few times and slapped him in the face. It was more than enough for the headquarters of the Southern Front to enter the war. There is no need to transfer troops from the west and north, let alone wait for the reaction of Tubo and Inurong...... By the time they came to their senses, our army had already returned to Korea. ”

Regarding the emperor's wishful thinking, the minister was unceremoniously: "In recent years, there has been no big war between Yan and Nanli, but there are constant small battles on the border passes. ”

Jingtai shook his head indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this, I have a way." ”

The minister still knelt on the ground, frowned and hesitated, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said what he wanted to say: "You know... Not only external troubles, but also internal worries. ”

Jing Tai sighed, with interest: "Internal worries? Does my Dayan have internal worries? Let's hear it. After speaking, seeing the minister's hesitation, he added with a smile: "It's okay to say, forgive you for your innocence." Also, get up and speak, I can't see your face when you kneel. ”

The minister stood up straight: "Seven years ago, the Great Thunder Sound Terrace passed down the decree of the law, and the young and strong monks in the world practiced martial arts in order to strengthen their bodies and introspect; Six years ago, the national teacher comprehended the mystery and said that the great world Shura was coming, alerting believers in the world; Five years ago, 21 Sumeru Monastery added Veda Monastery in the name of defending the road to destroy the robbery, formally training and raising warrior monks; Four years ago, each Zen monastery added a fighting pavilion to select elite monks to refine the military book and battle strategy; Three years ago......"

Over the years, Yan Guoshi's name of the Buddha family has been moving, and the force has increased, and everyone has seen these things, of course Jingtai knows everything, but he ignores it, and lets the national teacher be busy. This time was no exception, and without waiting for the minister to finish speaking, he waved his hand and smiled: "This is what you call 'internal worries'?" Nothing new, leave him alone. ”

"Your Majesty, it's more than that." As soon as the minister had spoken, he was about to finish his words: "Since three years ago, the national teacher and the Great Living Buddha of Tubo Molin have begun to come into contact, first exchanging letters, and then exchanging envoys...... Until the last year, the Living Buddha of Tibet sent secret envoys to visit the national teacher five times; The national teacher also sent his henchmen to pay three return visits... The minister thought that since he was a secret envoy, he harbored evil intentions. Now in the Da Lei Yin Tai, there is still a Tibetan lama who just arrived three days ago. ”

There is another sentence that the minister did not say: Wen, Wu, Xian, and Snake, three of the four important ministers of the year have been removed, and now only the national teacher remains...... It seems obvious that the national teacher does not intend to sit still.

Jingtai's tone was relaxed: "Jin Qian, I have a saying, don't care if you say it ruthlessly." ”

The minister's name was Wen Jinqian, and when he heard this, he immediately bowed: "Your Majesty please teach you." ”

In the blink of an eye, the smile on Jingtai's face dissipated, his eyes became cold, and he slowly said six words: "Zha Guoshi...... Are you worthy? ”

Wen Jinqian's face was expressionless, and he stood solemnly. And Jingtai laughed again, and changed the topic in his mouth: "Jin Qian, tell me, what is the way of the minister?" ”

Wen Jinqian replied categorically: "Loyal to the monarch and patriotic." ”

"This is a scene, and if you say it, you don't say it." Jingtai smiled: "I think there are two ways to be a minister, one is to be proficient in the government affairs at hand, no matter what, you have to do the job well; The other is to find out what is in the mind of the Lord. You're doing well in the first place, but you're worse in the second. ”

Jingtai leaned back and leaned his back comfortably on the back of the chair: "What internal and external troubles, I don't care, I must fight this battle in Nanli." Do you know why? As he spoke, Jingtai turned around and beckoned, and smiled at a little eunuch standing behind him: "Little Douzi, tell me, why do I have to fight?" ”

Xiaodouzi is still a doll, about ten years old and ordinary, but with a natural festive energy between her eyebrows and eyes, she is very pleasing and pleasing to hear His Majesty's call, and hurriedly bowed down to the front of the dragon book case, and replied crisply: "Long live the dog's death, so I want to fight and kill!" ”

Jingtai laughed and slammed the table: "Hit!" ”

Long live the dog's death, someone must be buried with him; Also, Jingtai is not happy when the dog dies... Killing someone makes you happy.

Wen Jinqian had nothing to say, and he didn't know what to say, so he knelt down and bowed and retreated, and Jingtai turned his eyes to the second minister: "Is there any news of Xiaohang?" ”

The second minister shook his head: "After Lord Su went to sea last year, there was no news back, and the minister has sent his subordinates to the sea to find it, for the time being..."

"Get out! Look for it again! Jingtai suddenly became irritable, grabbed the teacup and smashed it on the ground.
