Chapter 244: Genius Zhenjin Second Update
The arrival of the 3,000 Perak Navy Army and Chen Dexing's speech at the Xiaoshan Ferry Wharf did not arouse much repercussions in Lin'an City.
In this prosperous and rich capital, the hottest topic at present is still the news that the two khans of the north are fighting, and Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Monan, sincerely sued for peace, and sent his son to the south to ask the official family to marry the princess.
In the midst of street talks, there are always few people who stir up the peace talks between the north and the south. The people of Lin'an at the feet of the Son of Heaven all shook their heads and smacked their lips, praising the blessings of the Great Song Dynasty's official family. Once upon a time, 300,000 northern soldiers came to the south, Sichuan, Jinghu, and Lianghuai were in a hurry, and almost all the officials wanted to move the capital to Qingyuan Mansion. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the Great Khan of the Northern Captives would die in battle, and the Great Mongolian State would be divided into two, and the two Khans of the North and the South would attack each other. Da Song can be regarded as having escaped a catastrophe, thank God, the big guy can live a peaceful life!
The most intuitive reaction is that the sales of the "Liberation" tabloid written by Wen Tianxiang have plummeted! Among the three streets and six cities, few people talk about the war anymore, and even the commentaries and southern operas that smear the Tartars and deify the martyrs of the Song Army in the Goolan tile shop are gone. Instead, it is the story of the wind and snow, the story of talented and beautiful women. The anti-Mongolian atmosphere and national righteousness that were advocated by Chen Dexing and Wen Tianxiang a while ago have disappeared, not to mention that they have become much indifferent.
At the end of a nation, morale and folk customs are actually difficult to count on. Although there is no shortage of iron-clad and righteous people, they sang a tragic elegy of 200,000 people in the sea when the sky fell in China, but the elegy means the end after all! No matter how tragic it is, it is difficult to change the fact that China is tilted.
And the prosperity before the end of the curtain is in the eyes of the real golden prince and Hao Jing. It's really a bit of a return to the light, and it is the last rich and prosperous before the death of the country. In their opinion. The city of Lin'an is too rich, and the people in the city are too leisurely. The wealth of all nations flows here through guΓ² trade. Let the whole city become a prosperous and prosperous gentle township. Even the people who are running around don't have to struggle for three meals a day.
The nobles who rule here also have some kind of women's kindness. The people who guarded such a rich city, and who were so comfortable, did not know how to loot them, and they did not know how to drive them into battle with whips and sabers. Even when Meng Ke Khan's soldiers were in Linfuzhou, when the upstream defense line was in an emergency, the people of Lin'an were still living a comfortable life, and the officials in the palace did not think that they needed to pull hundreds of thousands of Ding Zhuang in Lin'an City to the military camp and train them strictly!
When the real Kim learned, the city in front of him. There were 200,000 households within the walls alone, or at least 1.2 million people. In addition to the shock, he was probably speechless.
"200,000 households, 1.2 million people...... The population of a city alone exceeded that of the Mongols under the command of Father Khan. According to Mongolian standards, it should be possible to raise 100,000 troops, right? β
Standing on the top of the pavilion of the Concierge of the Ministry of Rites, admiring the brightly lit night view of Lin'an, the real golden prince just sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Highness, the southerners are known as ten thousand, if they are like the Great Mongolia. There are no less than 10 million brave people, who can match them in all the countries of the world? However, although the country has a large population, its people are weak and do not use force. And the monarchs and ministers of the country are either faint or treacherous, even if there are heroes, they will not be used, tens of thousands of people. It's also in vain, and it will eventually be destroyed by my great Mongolia! β
It was Hao Jing who spoke. He was dressed in plain clothes and wore a hood on his head. Because the weather was a little hot, the placket was open, and a fan was shaking in his hand.
Zhenjin and his entourage only arrived in Lin'an three days ago, and now they are living in the protocol under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. The so-called protocol house is actually the state guesthouse, specially used to receive visiting foreign envoys, related to the dignity of the country, naturally made magnificent, the site is located on the side of the royal street avenue, close to the Deokshou Palace known as "Kitachi" (the former residence of Qin Hui, later opened into a palace by Emperor Gaozong, is the residence of Gaozong when he abdicated and retired), there are gardens, ponds, flowers and trees, the building is magnificent, and the scenery is beautiful. It is a few points more gorgeous than the mansion of the real golden prince in Yanjing.
A protocol house is already like this, how rich and noble the mansion and court of the nobles of the Southern Dynasty are, think about it and know - the lack of talent in the Southern Song Dynasty is not felt at all in the mansions and homes of the nobles.
"There are still some characters in the Southern Dynasties, so isn't Chen Dexing? I heard that he was in love with the princess of Shengguo, and he was promised to marry by the official family of the Southern Dynasty before......"
"Your Highness, don't worry, Chen Dexing will not be used by the Southern Dynasty." How did Hao Jing not know the mind of the real golden prince? Chen Dexing was tantamount to the pillar of the country in the Southern Dynasties, and it was very cost-effective to use a princess to cage such a hero. If it were replaced by Kublai Khan, he would not push a figure like Chen Dexing out of the country under any circumstances. But the situation in the Southern Dynasties was different.
Hao Jing showed a disdainful expression and sneered: "Although Zhao Yun, the lord of the Song Dynasty, was born in troubled times and grew up in troubled times, he still thinks that the world is peaceful, and he is a country in troubled times with the rule of law. In the world of Chengping, people with both ability and political integrity are needed, and virtue is higher than talent. And if you want to make the troubled times peaceful, you need to use people with outstanding talents, even if they are talented but not virtuous, they may as well use them. β
Hao Jing's words are vague, if you make it clear, it is to use talents in troubled times, and Taiping uses slaves! However, since Zhao constructed, the kings of the Southern Song Dynasty wanted slaves and did not want talents...... Or that he wants his subordinates to be as well-behaved and obedient as a minion, but he is brave enough to compete with the overlord when he goes into battle. This is really a bit too high.
Therefore, Yue Fei, who is not good at speaking, is dead, and Yu Jue, who is more domineering, is gone, and there will be a Liu Quan, who can't shoot well, in history, who is angry and goes to the Mongols......
The real golden prince was puzzled: "No virtue? Chen Dexing is not greedy for money and goods, not very beautiful, does not abuse rewards and punishments, and shares joys and sorrows with his soldiers, where is he immoral? β
Hao Jing smiled and said clearly: "Chen Dexing is domineering, he has no king, and he is not a slave of the Zhao family!" β
"Home...... Slave? β
Zhenjin was stunned for a moment, nodded and said suddenly: "I understand, Chen Dexing is a hero, naturally some heroes have a temper, and they are not very good at sycophants." The emperor of the Zhao family has no room for people, he only wants minions, not heroes. β
"Exactly, Your Highness, please look at this." Hao Jing was full of smiles, as if there was some happy event, and took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to Zhenjin.
Zhenjin took it and looked at it, and there were several poems written on it. "This is ......" Zhenjin looked at Hao Jing, "Mr. Haiyun, what are these poems for?" β
Hao Jing smiled and said: "The official family of the Southern Dynasty quietly sent the title of the poem at tomorrow's banquet, which should be titled to the northern customs, flowers, silkworms, olives, Qiantang River tide, etc. The old man had nothing to do, so he selected a few poems he had written in the past for His Highness's reference. β
"Mr. Haiyun's poem ......" Zhenjin suddenly understood what was going on, and at tomorrow's banquet, the officials of the Southern Dynasty will come up with a question to compose a poem...... It is estimated that he and Chen Dexing took the exam at the same time. In order to win, the officials of the Southern Dynasty leaked the topic to Hao Jing in advance.
This Hao Jing is a poet of the Northland! Compared with the celebrities of the Southern Dynasty, it is no less than that, let alone Chen Dexing, a vulgar martial artist? The poems written by him can naturally win steadily.
"In addition to composing poetry, I can also compete in riding and shooting." Hao Jing said with a smile, "That Chen Dexing's foot shooting is unparalleled, but his riding and archery kung fu is mediocre, and it can't compare to the prince's." β
The real gold is a Mongolian prince, although he likes Confucianism, but he has not let go of his riding and archery kung fu after all. Although Chen Dexing's martial arts are good, most of his skills are not on horseback, and he can't ride and shoot.
Hao Jing touched a few beards and said: "Poetry and literary talents, riding and archery competitions, His Royal Highness's literary talents are better than Chen Dexing, are you afraid that you won't get the hearts of beauties?" β
"Beauty?" The real golden prince blinked his small triangular eyes, "Will the princess of the Ascension Kingdom come?" β
Hao Jing nodded and said, "Tomorrow's banquet is for the princess to look at." β
The real golden prince stroked his palms and laughed: "That's great, with this prince's style, martial arts and appearance, the princess must like it when she sees it!" β
The prince was still very confident in his appearance, because everyone from childhood to adulthood praised him for his good looks! He is handsome and one of the most beautiful men on the grassland......
But Hao Jing looked at the prince's big pie face, and shook his head in thought. Triangular eyes, a big nose like a ball of meat. There is really no way to look at this appearance, no matter how much you cheat, you can't compare to Chen Dexing. So I can only make some fuss about talent.
β¦β¦
The real gold genius was about to go to the beautiful woman in front of the beautiful woman by reciting the poem, but his rival Chen Dexing met the beautiful woman in the Fengle Building in Lincao Town.
The beauty is the ink shadow girl, white clothes and white skirts, clouds and fairies, as if she is a fairy who comes down from the nine heavens, but it is a little clear and difficult to approach. She came with Liu Xiaoyuan, a Lingnan genius whom Chen Dexing only met in the morning - Liu Xiaoyuan published an article in the "Recovery" newspaper and was a friend of Wen Tianxiang. Chen Dexing just glanced at it curiously, but didn't pay attention.
His mind was on a fat man who was so fat that he could even breathe when he walked, and his fat body trembled three times when he took a few steps. The fat man's name is Sun Shichen, and he is interested. Although the name of the poet is a military attachΓ©, the official worships the servant, and is the commander of the left army in front of the palace, with 5,500 soldiers under his hands, almost twice as many as the 3,000 people brought by Chen Dexing!
But this fat man doesn't look like a general no matter how he looks at it, he is just a rich and comfortable fat man, and the biggest grain number in Lincao Town is opened by him. Every year, the Huai rice and Wu rice trafficked into Lin'an through his hands are more than tens of thousands of stones.
In addition, Sun Fatzi is also concurrently engaged in winemaking, Lincao Sun's old Huadiao wine is famous far and wide, Chen Dexing often buys it with little pocket money in Lin'an to satisfy his hunger, but he didn't expect to meet the owner of Sun's winery now, and he also pushes the cup to change the cup and drink non-stop.
It's just that today's wine is happy, and I'm afraid the first thing to clean up in the coming day is this Sun Fat Man and his 5,500 good sons...... (To be continued......) R1292
