Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Emperor's Heart

The barracks are not allowed to turn around, and even the dinner is sent into the tent by the soldiers, and the food in the army is naturally not delicious, but there are cooking cakes, cured meat, vegetable soup, and even a little wine ......, Chen Ke thought that this was a special preferential treatment, but when he inquired, the battalion from the marshal to the non-commissioned officers ate all of them.

Although there is a big reason for the fact that it is convenient to march and supply in the territory, the logistics support of the Great Song army is still impressive. Chen Ke compared it longitudinally, in terms of nutrition and calories provided, it was no different from the field rations when he was a soldier in his later life, and it was the same unpalatable.

After dinner, when it got dark, Di Yong came again and invited Chen Xiliang and his son to come over, Chen Ke was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he would have his own share.

followed Di Yong to the Chinese military tent, only to see a middle-aged general with a black love scarf on his head, a half-worn black Shu brocade robe waist, a lion swallowing belt, long shoulders and broad shoulders, sword eyebrows, and masculine beauty, standing in front of the handsome case, smiling at them.

You don't need to ask, you also know that this is the famous Di Qing Di Hanchen. Chen Xiliang and his son hurriedly sang a fat song and said, "Marshal." ”

"No courtesy." Di Qing's voice was as cheerful as the autumn sky, and he hugged the two of them: "I should have met Xian Qiaocui earlier, but I was entangled in military affairs, and now I am free."

"The marshal killed my father and son."

"Hugh be polite", Di Qing asked Chen Xiliang to sit down, and he also sat on the folding stool opposite. Chen Xiliang got up and said, "Don't dare," but he raised his hand to stop him: "It's better to speak in a handsome position than to be so casual." Brother Xiaoliang had no choice but to sit upright.

Di Yong withdrew and personally led his own soldiers to guard the handsome tent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the handsome tent, Di Qing looked at the father and son opposite. I saw that Chen Xiliang had experienced the disaster of prison, his body was thin and weak, and his face was a little puffy, but his eyebrows were high, his nose was concave, and his eyes were as clear as autumn water. Chen Ke stood behind his father, tall and lofty, with a tiger father and no dog.

Only such a father and son would dare to do such a thing that pierced half the sky. , Di Qing couldn't help but secretly admire. The next moment, Fang smiled and said, "If you can fight for the country this time, you have to thank Xian Qiaocui." ”

The marshal laughed.

"It's not a joke, it's serious." Di Qing shook his head and said: "Moreover, if it weren't for your efforts, the officials and ministers would not have agreed to transfer the Western Army to the south...... by now", he said and sighed: "Otherwise, with the situation of the Liangguang army, I am afraid that Sun Wu will be reborn, and he will not be able to return to the sky." What's more, Di Qing is a mediocre person. ”

"The marshal is too modest."

"Don't be inhibited." Di Qing looked at Chen Xiliang and said with a smile: "I am talking to you, not listening to praises." ”

"Hehe" ,..." Chen Xiliang smiled and said: "Marshal Wan is the commander of the three armies, and Xiliang is still guilty, so he is really flattered by Xiliang." ”

"You're no longer guilty." Di Qing smiled and handed out a warrant: "This is the basis for today's warrant." ”

Chen Xiliang got up and took a look, only to see that it was an official document, except for those red tape, to the effect:

I heard that the case of Chen Xiliang of Hengyang Zhixian County colluding with bandits has been reviewed for several months without progress, which shows that his accusations are absurd and fabricated for no reason. When the country was employing people, he heard that Chen Jun was honest and virtuous, so he ordered the Hunan Criminal Division to be released immediately, and the official was reinstated and transferred to the front of the account to listen to the use. , there is the big seal of the two lakes Xuanfu envoy in the back, as well as Di Qing's signature and drawing.

Now, the military and political affairs of the two lakes and the two Guangzhous are all dictatorial by Di Qing alone, and no one can restrain them, so the Jinghu South Road Criminal Division has to obediently release people.

"Thank you Marshal for teaching", "Chen Xiliang got up and sang a fat song, but he was inevitably a little uncomfortable in his heart, he preferred to use normal procedures to prove his innocence, rather than this kind of 'amnesty'"

"Chen Zhixian may feel aggrieved." Di Qing said: "But this is the arrangement of the official family. ”

"Official ......" Chen Xiliang was stunned.

"Not bad." Di Qing bowed his head and said, "The official family asked the last general to pass on a few words of advice to you." As he spoke, he stood up.

"Listen to the hadith." Chen Xiliang bowed and said.

"The official said: 'It is a blessing for the country to have an upright minister like Chen Xiliang. It's just that the widow is going to let him down. Di Qing grimaced and repeated word by word: "The quartermaster case you are carrying is a serial case with the corruption case of Lingnan civil and military, and if you find out the quartermaster case, it will inevitably involve the corruption case, and the investigation of the corruption case will involve the interests of hundreds of officials in the court, which is fatal to your father and son, and it is the same for the widow." ”

"I believe in the widows, this country belongs to the Zhao family, and the widows hate these corrupt people more than anyone else", Di Qing continued: "However, the huge country and the trillions of people still have to rely on the civil officials to govern, and the widows will only work hard for me if they are satisfied first, and they will not eat the common people if they are full." However, there are more and more officials in the country, but the financial resources are drying up day by day, and the widows cannot satisfy everyone, and they can only turn a blind eye to their behavior that is not too excessive. ”

"I believe that the Qing family also knows that compared with the Sui and Tang dynasties, the officials of my Song Dynasty can be called incorruptible, and the people's lives are also

It can be regarded as satisfying, corrupt officials like the Tang Dynasty are almost extinct in this dynasty, and I can't ask for more. Di Qing recounted: "Dayu controls the water, and it is the same to govern the country as long as the officials are dissatisfied, even if the widow plugs the hole, they will dig a hole from elsewhere." Now, they eat like an army and eat as a widow, and they always have to have some scruples. If they change the way and make money directly from the people, I don't know how many times more ugly it will be, and how many times more harmful it will be.

Di Qing finally repeated: "The widow is really embarrassed to admit this, but you treat me as a countryman, and the widow can only treat each other sincerely, and I only hope that a minister like you will not abandon the country." We must believe that this is not the era of 'the Tao is not good at taking the same time as the sea, and the widow is day and night with 'pro-gentleman, far from the villain, self-police, and strive for the virtuous minister to reign. In the court, the more consistent righteousness, the less evil spirit, and the people can breathe a sigh ......of relief. ”

After finishing speaking, Di Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he looked at Chen Xiliang again, he was already in tears, and he felt five guilty: "How can Weichen be virtuous, how can he be able to get the official family to be full of courage and teach him earnestly?" If you can't understand the painstaking efforts of the officials, is it no different from a stubborn stone? ”

"In this way, it will not be in vain for the officials." Di Qing sighed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the candlelight in the camp of the Chinese army and the re-seating, Di Qing arched his hand towards the north and said: "The official family has the whole world in mind, and the problem is naturally more thorough than our ministers, so there are some things, even if we don't understand it for a while, we have to do it." ”

"It's all on the orders of the marshal." Chen Xiliang put away the look of disappointment in the depths of his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Don't be too disappointed." Di Qing said coldly: "There are some things that the official family doesn't say, and the courtiers must do what they can, otherwise they will be ashamed of the power given to me." In fact, Di Qing originally planned to just do it and not say it, but after all, he was a martial artist with Geng Jie's nature, and he couldn't bear to see Chen Xiliang so lost, so he hinted with something pointed.

"Hmm......" Chen Xi nodded brightly, not taking it too seriously.

Di Qing looked at Chen Ke again and said: "In this way, the good story of the young hero who saved his father thousands of miles is afraid that it will not be known to the world, what compensation do you want?" ”

"Hey......" Chen Ke thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Marshal, I want to do a thousand things?" I just don't know if the marshal can cover it. ”

Di Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "As long as it's two lakes and two wide, I can almost cover it." ”

"Okay, I'd like to beat someone."

"Who?"

"Yu Jing Yu Wenshuai."

"Nonsense ......" Chen Xiliang scolded: "Yu Wenshuai is highly respected, even if he ignores his father's case for a while, he ...... consider the overall situation."

"I'm very angry now, if I don't beat him, my belly will burst." Chen Ke said.

"Then beat!" Chen Xiliang wanted to reprimand again, but saw Di Qing wave his hand and said: "Punch him a few times for me, this old thing is really unreasonable, I have long wanted to beat him!" ”

"Ahh,...。h The Chen family father and son opened their mouths wide.

"Do you know what he did?" Di Qing snorted angrily, threw a copy of the military report in front of the Chen family's father and son, and said, "Look at it, there are still such fools in the world!" ”

Chen Xiliang took it and took a look, and it was an eye-opener...... It was a report on Yu Wenshuai's work since he arrived in the south:

After Yang Zheng's defeat, Yu Jing was not idle, he knew that he didn't know anything about fighting, so he used his strengths and avoided weaknesses, and was ready to outwit ...", thinking about it, not to mention, he finally let him come up with a strange plan!

He inquired that Nong Zhigao had a grudge against the Jiaozhi people for killing his father, and he had resisted Jiaozhi several times, but he was all cleaned up and said, ",... Jiaozhi is the later Vietnam, before the Song Dynasty, has always been the territory of China, and later Song Taizu thought that the country was too big to manage, and after pacifying the Southern Han Dynasty, he did not let it fight further. As a result, a poor and arrogant small country was born, and Nong Zhigao was bullied by them, and he couldn't pounce in Guangyuan, so he submitted the request to attach it. After discovering that the army of the Song Dynasty was like a local chicken and a dog, he simply burned down the old nest with a fire and moved his family directly to Zhenzhou.

Then, I can spend money and hire Jiaozhi people to send troops to clean up Nong Zhigao. In this way, there is no need to die in the Song Dynasty, only a few dollars are needed, which is really cost-effective and calculated.

Lord Yu was an anxious man, and he did it when he thought of it, so he gave 'the king of Jiaozhi County, Li Dezheng, 20,000 yuan in cash, and asked him to lead the troops to meet in Zhenzhou, and also provided grain and grass ...... after entering the country.

What does this mean? Even Chen Ke understands that this means that those Vietnamese devils can justifiably enter the border of the Great Song Dynasty to burn, kill and loot! It's at public expense!

"This kind of pig's head, how to relieve hatred just by beating it!" Chen Ke said angrily: "At least he has to live and can't take care of himself!" ”
