Chapter 68: Character

Everyone accompanied Xue Chongxun to walk around the workshop and kiln, and then rode horses and archery on the school field, and before they knew it, the sun was already hanging on the West Mountain, Xue Chongxun planned to rest in the Shenji Department tonight, and then learn about the technology of repairing the city tomorrow according to the plan he had thought. He doesn't know these specific things, but it will be useful to know about the engineering decisions that will be built on the Great Wall fortress.

The group rode their horses to the Wei River, and Xue Chongxun saw the sunset, so he looked back at the officials and said: "This situation reminds me of a poem by Zhang Jiuling, and I read it out to encourage you." ”

After hearing this, everyone echoed without thinking, of course, the Son of Heaven couldn't stop him from reciting poetry, and he had to applaud loudly. Let's talk about Zhang Jiuling's poems, who is Zhang Jiuling? The emperor's subordinate minister, who is now in the cabinet, and his status in the officialdom is considered a heavyweight, can the poems written by such a person be bad, can he not shout loudly? Of course, you can't just applaud, you have to say something insightful, so everyone listens attentively, otherwise they don't understand what the poem is, how can they comment?

Xue Chongxun recited Zhang Jiuling's poem on a whim: "The west sun goes down the mountain and hides, and the north wind rides the sunset." The finch feels faint, and the eaves are calling. Although the bird is far away, the mourning is not what I want. The nobleman abandons the flaws and cheapness, and the corporal tastes the worries. The public is tired of external things, and forgive yourself for forgetting internal cultivation. The sigh is like this, and it makes my heart wander. ”

Xiao Dan and the others understood when they heard it, this poem must have been written by Zhang Jiuling when he was down, and he was still complaining that those people with developed officialdom did not know how to cultivate their own morality. As for the scenery that has little to do with the setting sun, the key is the lyricism in the second half. However, when the people present heard that such a poem was actually written by Zhang Jiuling, they felt a little weird, the main person is too developed to make people red, and what kind of "nobles abandon defects and cheapness", the emperor recited his poems......

The first to speak should definitely be given to Xiao Dan, the martial arts county order is not qualified, Xiao Dan is the official of the central government, and he can still see the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court from time to time. Xiao Dan pondered for a moment and said: "Mencius said: If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. Before entering the cabinet, Mr. Zhang was lenient with others and strict with his noble character of self-discipline, and finally entered the cabinet to serve His Majesty, which is really a model for us. ”

Wugong County Commander continued: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and there are talented people such as Bachelor Zhang to be in charge of the country, and there is no cure for the Great Jin Dynasty?" Weichen and others will take Master Zhang as a model, do not forget the internal cultivation, govern the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment......"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard a voice in the distance shouting: "I am still a lady!" ”

Everyone looked sideways, and saw a raft floating on the river, and a man wearing a hat stood on it, too far away to see what kind of person it was, holding a bamboo pole and coming down the river. Li Kuiyong reacted the fastest, kicked the horse and rushed to the front of Xue Chongxun and the others with several knights to block it. Sanniang, the woman wearing narrow-sleeved men's clothes next to Xue Chongxun, didn't react, there were so many people here, and there was only one person on the river, so there was really nothing to be nervous about.

Xue Chongxun looked back left and right: "Which of you robbed someone's wife?" It's coming. ”

The martial arts county commander's expression suddenly seemed to cry, and he turned his head and glared at his staff fiercely, as if to say: What are you doing? The staff said innocently: "This Diao people dare to disturb the holy car, take it and talk about it." ”

The raft went down the river, and drove very fast, and in a moment it came much closer, and it was clear that it was a sturdy offspring, dressed in short clothes and covered with fur, with a long knife at his waist and a long bow on his back, like a hunter. This area is close to Xiaotaibai and other mountains and forests, and many farmers go up to the mountains to hunt.

Li Kuiyong saw that the latter was carrying a weapon, and he usually did it, but the emperor is here, do you want to rebel! Not to mention a five-grade and non-level commoner, even the ministers of the court and the central government have to remove their swords, otherwise they will be killed. Li Kuiyong raised his horsewhip and shouted: "Boy, don't know whether you live or die, it's nothing to do now when you turn around and hurry up!" ”

The later life found the staff of the martial arts county order, and shouted from afar: "It's him, deceive my lady!" I knew something wasn't right, but luckily I followed. Give my lady back, and let's go. ”

Xue Chongxun frowned, looked in the direction and said to a junior official behind him: "You are bullying men and women in Wugong County?" ”

The staff of the county knelt down on the mud with a plop, and his face turned white after a while, in the rumors of officialdom, when today's son was not only lustful but also murderous, this is not a small service, and there are dozens of strong men around him, and a word of cutting is not a cut. But the county staff have been in the officialdom for so many years and have seen the world, and they did not talk nonsense because they were startled, and immediately said a very high-level sentence: "Ten thousand deaths in a lowly position, it is a person who is in a daze for a while, and has done a big wrong thing privately!" ”

Sure enough, the county commander's expression has also changed a little, from the fear at the beginning to the current one, he is actually a little moved, in the end, it is his own henchman!

Seeing this, Li Kuiyong shouted to the man on the river: "Throw away the weapon, come and talk, and now you are the master." ”

"Give my daughter-in-law back first!" The man didn't know whether it was brain pumping or ignorance, and he was still excited as he spoke, so he actually took the bow from his back, drew another arrow feather and shouted, "Return the man!" ”

The guards of the Flying Tiger Regiment looked at each other, Li Kuiyong scolded, and shouted, "Dare to face each other with weapons in front of His Majesty, I don't think you will die fast enough." After drinking, he also took a heavy bow and shot an arrow, but the distance was too far, and the arrow fell into the river with a "wave". A military general left behind in the Mingguang military camp next to him said: "There are naval warships on the docks of the big camp, and they will go to get the assassins." ”

Li Kuiyong touched his round head and sneered: "To catch a person, you need to use a water army, I think you are more stupid than me." He looked left and right, and saw a small boat swimming in the water row not far away, so he looked back at the knights and said, "If you know how to water, go to the two of you, row over and catch the man." ”

Immediately, two knights with a southern accent stepped forward to ask for help, and Li Kuiyong said: "Come on, peel off the armor of the two of them before going, otherwise falling into the water is the same as falling into the water with a stone?" The sergeants thought it good, so they dismounted and helped to take off their armor.

The man on the river was still holding a bamboo pole and confronting the shore. After a while, the two sergeants stripped off their armor, and the company commander's weapon and horizontal sword were also discarded, and one with a short knife, a pair of crossbows, and a few arrows, ran to untie the ropes from the boat, and one rowed and the other rowed with a crossbow and rowed into the middle of the river. They are indeed southerners with water in the water, otherwise the oars would not have been able to play with them in their hands.

The sculled boat was upstream and paddling fast, and the man on the raft did not run away from the pole, but turned his bow and arrow at the boat. The sergeant on the ship took the crossbow and shouted, "This crossbow of mine is for the military, but it is more reliable than your hunting bow, and I will not kill you if you don't let go of your arrows!" You have also thought clearly, we are the Northern Ya Forbidden Army who has just pulled off their armor, if you hurt us, Wang Fa will not tolerate you! ”

The sergeant on the ship has no armor, and he is really a little afraid that the broken jar will break and shoot arrows, and it hurts to shoot into the flesh. The rowing sergeant also helped: "If you dare to attack the forbidden army, it can be regarded as an intention to assassinate the emperor, and it is not too much to set a rebellion against you, and it will not be a big deal for the entire village to be implicated at that time." The sergeant with the crossbow continued: "The whole village has been clicked, do you still want to get your daughter-in-law back?" ”

The two of them flickered for a while, and the man on the raft was really frightened, he was not afraid of the tiger wolf in the mountains, but the official mansion was more terrible than the tiger wolf...... The main thing is that the government is not a place he is familiar with, and people are always afraid of the unknown. The man shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”

The sergeant said kindly: "Of course, it was reasonable in the past!" Didn't you say that your daughter-in-law was arrested, it was done by the magistrate, and His Majesty wants you to explain the ins and outs of the matter so that you can be the master of the people. How can you get a witness if you don't go? The man said: "I don't want to offend the government, I just want to get my daughter-in-law back." The crossbow-wielding sergeant's face turned pale for a while, and he turned back to his companion and whispered, "This guy is very strong, but he is too uninformed!" Then he shouted: "You are holding a weapon, and you are more severe than offending the government." Hurry up and lose it, so we have something to say. ”

The man turned his head to look at the shore, but he didn't see any "Majesty", didn't the emperors sung in the play all wear dragon robes? Then he was skeptical. But by this time the boat had come close quickly, and he hurriedly drew his bow: "Stop, send my wife here!" ”

"!" As soon as the boat hit the raft, the crossbow-wielding sergeant scolded away, jumped forward and shouted with a thick neck, "You try to put an arrow on Lao Tzu!" Taking advantage of the fact that the man was at a loss, a strong step rushed forward, but the man was really in a hurry and released the arrow, but fortunately the head was not right and did not hurt anyone. The sergeant stood sideways and steadied his lower plate, and with a stroke of his elbow he snatched the man's bow and arrow, and threw him down on the raft, so that the raft lost its balance, and both of them threw themselves into the river. This sergeant is a knight of the Flying Tiger Regiment, although there is no grade or rank, but it is not comparable to ordinary sergeants, those who can enter the Flying Tiger Regiment are trained officers, and they learn the art of war and martial arts, ordinary soldiers are not opponents, let alone this amateur hunting man.

After the two fell into the water, the sergeant on the boat dropped the wood pulp to help, and after a while the man was subdued, and after a while, he got into the boat. The man's sword and bow were thrown into the river, and the sergeant with the crossbow held him down, while the other, still rowing, drove toward the shore.

When an official saw that he had caught someone, he said: "Your Majesty, this Diao people are so rebellious that they dare to threaten with weapons, and they should be beheaded." ”

Xue Chongxun pretended to be very benevolent: "It's understandable that the people don't understand the rules, and they don't have to ask for it according to the law of the court." Ask about the situation first. After saying that, he glanced back at the county magistrate of Wugong County and others, and several people hurriedly bent down and lowered their hands, and cold sweat also broke out. G
