Twenty-nine on the slowly turning wheel of fate
I don't know who said that life is like a play, but no one wants life to be like a play, especially when encountering dramas like Korean dramas, car accidents, amnesia, leukemia, sister, all kinds of dramas that only you can't think of and don't see without you, always make people feel deep malice from this world, no normal person wants such a drama to be staged on themselves, so no one wants life to be like a play. Le Wen Novel|
But some things are not a matter of wishing or not wanting, but something that will not happen, if fate decides that this thing will happen, no matter what, you can't escape it, unless you die now, but if you die, how can you be sure that this is not your destiny? Yue Fan never wanted his life to be a drama in the eyes of others, so he tried his best to let his life be controlled by himself, but no one could really grasp his own life, even if it was the emperor?
Did Emperor Huizong take control of his own life? Did Emperor Qinzong take control of his life? Did the Zhao Song clan with more than 1,000 people control their own lives?
When you are born in this world, you will inevitably be played with by certain laws of this world, even if you try to avoid it in every possible way, but you can't avoid it.
The harvest of the first year of Xuanhe is not very good, the summer is too hot, the autumn rain is not much, even with the entire surrounding area of Xiangzhou, the harvest of nearly 1,000 acres of Yue's land has also dropped by about 30%, Yue's land is good land, and has been helped by many tenants, even so, the loss is still above 30%, Yue's father Yue and sorrowful for a few days and nights can not sleep well and eat, seeing that the famine is approaching, Yue's father began to prepare relief grain, ready to lower the price of rice, according to the past practice, to give a bite of food to the villagers who have no food to eat.
More than three months later, winter is coming, the villagers around Yue's Zhuangzi have come to Yue's here to beg for food, the previous practice has been well implemented, Yue's father personally commanded the family Ding and the villagers to distribute relief food, but there are more and more people, just three days, the number of people who came to beg for food exceeded 500 people, Yue's grain can not save so many people, in desperation, Yue's father sent people to the county government to report the emergency.
Yue Chuan urgently checked whether these people who came to beg for food really had nothing to eat, or whether they were idle and settled down to cheat and cheat here, and within a few days, he found out twenty or thirty broken households who came to cheat and cheat, and the guards of the Yue family drove all these broken settlements away with sticks and fists.
The county officials in the county urgently asked the state government to open a granary to help the victims, because according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, local officials did not have the right to open a granary privately, and even Zhang Ying, who "had the right to know the military affairs of the prime minister", did not have this power, and needed the permission of the road transfer envoy and the promotion of Changping official affairs, and even needed to report to the central government many times, the purpose was not to allow the local small groups that threatened the central government, and the supervision was decentralized at all levels.
At the same time, a not very good news came, Zhang Ying rushed back to Tangyin County from the Xiangzhou Governance Office, brought a team of soldiers and horses, and the main force stayed in Tangyin County, he hurried to Yue's house with a few soldiers, and met with a group of people from Yue's family, and happened to meet Li Zhixian who came to negotiate urgently.
"This autumn's harvest is not good, in addition to our Xiangzhou, many states and counties north of the Yellow River have suffered disasters, in June I reported the news to the imperial court, but there was no news at all, as a result, a month ago, there were many thieves composed of people near the criminal state and the Daimyo Mansion, not attacking the city, just wandering around, robbing grain, hurting the heavens and reason, has killed a lot of people, the court has not moved at all, according to common sense, at this time, we need to wait for the army to recruit, to pacify these thieves, Otherwise, they will run around and be infinitely poisonous! Zhang Ying's face was serious, and he told Li Zhixian and the Yue family the news.
Li Zhixian and Yue He were shocked, Yue frowned, and asked, "Could it be that those thieves have already wandered to Xiangzhou?" ”
Zhang Ying nodded: "That's right, seven or eight thieves are coming in the direction of Xiangzhou, the number is about two thousand, and they can't be counted as thieves, that's the thieves, Tan Ma Lai, their number is not too much, but they are relatively scattered, Xiangzhou is not enough, the old and weak are less than a thousand people, the five hundred people I brought are already the limit, the fastest one of the thieves is coming to Tangyin, I am preparing to take these five hundred people to clean them up." ”
Yue He and Li Zhixian looked at each other, but Yue Fei showed a trace of longing, and Yue Fu frowned and said: "There are more than 2,000 thieves, and there are only 500 officials and soldiers, I'm afraid it's not enough, where are these thieves?" It's clearly a rebel! ”
Zhang Ying shook his head: "They didn't attack the city, but robbed houses and villages all the way, officials from all over the country only wanted to protect the city, no one wanted to go to the field to find their trouble, and they didn't want to expand the matter to the rebel level, the matter is big, not to mention Xiangzhou, the officials north of the entire Yellow River will be implicated, I suspect that the imperial court doesn't know this news at all!" At this point, Zhang Ying gritted his teeth: "Only my army was sent to recruit troops, I asked the Daimyo's Mansion for help, there was no news at all, there were too few soldiers in Xiangzhou, I told the court more than once, but the court also had no news at all!" ”
Zhang Ying hammered the table, his face was full of anger and helplessness, and after a while, he looked at Yue He and said, "Outside Yue, I am here, in fact, there is a reluctant request. ”
Yue He was stunned for a moment, but Yue Xuan immediately understood Zhang Ying's intentions, Yue He still didn't understand, and asked, "What is the reluctance of Zhizhou?" ”
Zhang Ying first looked at Yue Fei, pursed his lips, and then set his eyes on Yue Fei: "There are few soldiers in Xiangzhou, not to mention the talent of any generals, I am a literati, I don't know military strategy, the defeat is small, the thief army loses concerns, and it is a big matter to burn and loot, in recent years, I heard that Yue Wulang followed Mr. Zhou Tong to learn martial arts, study the art of war, and make great progress, and have the courage to be invincible, so I want to borrow Wulang from Yue Yuan for the general of our army." ”
Yue He's eyes widened, Li Zhixian suddenly realized, Yue frowned, but Yue Fei had an excited look on his face......
"Fly, Fly? But he was only sixteen years old...... He...... Alas...... Fei'er, the country is in trouble, you wait for the man, it is the time to contribute to the country and make contributions, you have long said that you are willing to join the army, this time, are you willing to follow Zhang Zhizhou to quell the rebellion? Contribute to the country? Yue He was a little hesitant at first, but with a sigh, his belief became firm, and he looked at Yue Fei and asked very seriously with his father's majesty.
Yue Fei immediately stood up, knelt down on his knees, and bowed to Yue He: "My son is willing to quell the rebellion with Zhang Zhizhou, contribute to the country, and make contributions!" ”
Zhang Ying and Li Zhixian were overjoyed: "What a good man!" ”
The matter was settled, Zhang Ying and Li Zhixian rushed back to Tangyin County to deal with affairs, Yue Fei packed up, and rushed to Tangyin County a day later to go with the army; Yue He informed the whole family of the news and also informed Zhou Tong, so Yue's mother and Yue Fei's wife Liu had a falling out, why did a sixteen-year-old child, who is about to be a father, join the army? It's not enough to join the army, it's about to go to war, this, this, this is death!!!
Yue's mother couldn't stop crying, Liu pulled Yue Fei's clothes and didn't let him go, Yue Flip watched helplessly on the side, Xiao Cuicui timidly held Yue Flip's hand and stuck to him tightly, Zhou Tong stroked his beard and didn't speak.
"Enough! This is my decision! I have the final say in this home! What's more, Fei'er himself is also very willing, he himself has been determined to join the army and serve the country since he was a child, this is the right time, why is he unwilling? Do you want to watch thieves come to our house? Ridiculous! That's it! Yue He finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily.
Yue's mother and Liu's were taken aback, they didn't dare to speak, the scene was cold, only Yue's mother and Liu's sobbing quietly, Zhou Tong saw this, so he said: "Alas, this matter, call the old man to come and see, for Fei'er, it's not a bad thing, although it is a little dangerous, but Fei'er's martial arts and art of war, the old man has been fully taught, as long as Fei'er keeps calm and doesn't rush in, there is Zhang Zhizhou on the side to guide and deal with some thieves."
But here, I'm afraid it's not very safe, according to the old man's opinion, it's better to wait for me to go to Tangyin County to take refuge together, no matter how bad it is, I have to put all the female dependents in Tangyin County, there is a city wall to protect it, those thieves are afraid that they won't go in, and it's safer, if it's still on Zhuangzi, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be thieves who have fled here, then it's troublesome, outside, what do you say? ”
Yue He looked at Zhou Tong, looked at his family, and nodded slowly: "Then, then according to Zhou Lao's words, Fei'er, when you go, take your mother and Feng'er, as well as Zhu'er and Cuicui, and take refuge in the county seat. ”
As soon as Yue Chuan heard this, he didn't know why, and immediately spoke: "I also stay, how can I let my father be in danger alone?" ”
Yue Flip didn't know, and everyone didn't know, this blurted out for some reason, or just a sentence for a filial piety, which completely changed the whole world, and from then on, the wheel of fate that belonged to Yue Flip, belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and belonged to the whole world, slowly turned, with all the previous signs and accidents, out of the trajectory of the original world, towards the unpredictable road, slowly moving forward, a completely different world, came into being
