Chapter 4: The New King (8)

The meaning of the so-called trend is often the sense of powerlessness of the individual in the whole society. No matter how good an individual is, when caught in the tide of history, it is often difficult to maintain his own independent opinions and opinions in all affairs. For example, Ding Yi at this time, he didn't want to pay attention to Sofia who came with the temptation of the Eastern Roman inheritance, but whether it was the court or the people, he obviously needed him to stand up and respond to this matter.

On the way of the four-wheeled carriage from Tianjin to Beijing, it was forced to stop many times.

Because the fathers and villagers who blocked the road, their faces were full of joy, carrying wine and meat, and they were led by the showmen or people in the village, and when they saw the car, they knelt in the middle of the road, and the light cavalry who opened the road couldn't pull out their guns and knock these people down, right? had to report back to Fat Man Wen, and Fat Man Wen complained about Ding Yi: "Young Master, it's not that the fat man said you, if you change it to another official, do you dare to stop it?" Don't be a big official, just the editor of the Hanlin Academy or the command of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, as soon as the face of the Zhun family is cold, these people will honestly shrink back! ”

Ding's reputation for treating the people well is indeed the fundamental reason why these fathers and villagers dare to stop the car.

"Yuyuki is going to see what's going on, right? Is the movement of the paved roadbed too disturbing to the people? Discuss with the people and see how to compensate. Ding Yi gave a few instructions to Liu Ji, and taught Liu Ji to see what those fathers and villagers stopped the car for.

After a while, Liu Ji came back with a wry smile: "Sir, they are all old people in their seventies, and several old people are also in their sixties and seventies, and they ask to see Mr. and kowtow there, and the disciples are really afraid that they will not be able to get up for a while after two kowtows, so they have to come back and report to Mr. ”

Ding Yi has always been very tolerant of the people, listening to Liu Ji's report, it is false to say that he is not complacent, and Ding is not a saint. This is not only how much he has done enough to keep his sweat, but also because he is so loved by the Chinese people, Ding Yi is still very happy in his heart.

"What do you see? Let's go, come with me, and go see my fathers and fellow villagers. Ding Yi rejected Liu Ji's proposal to summon a few old people to meet him, and got out of the car directly, walked over with his robe, and met the people who blocked the way.

As a result, as soon as we met, he regretted it, absolutely regretted it.

"Your Highness! This is an event for the ages! Even the strong man also has the tears of Zhaojun, today Taixi Daqin, send the princess to the Ming Dynasty and relatives, I am in the Heavenly Dynasty, how strong! "This old man who looks at a few teeth, I'm afraid I don't know that what he said in Daqin is already a historical term, but even if he knows, he will think that it is a Taixi nobleman, who came to Daming and his relatives to restore the country.

Anyway, as long as you're willing to yin, you can always find something cool.

Ding Yi was very helpless, so he could only smile and nod and said: "Today's Ming Dynasty, not the work of one student, but the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven, the cooperation of all the princes of the imperial court, the soldiers in front of the battle, and the enthusiastic support of the people. The old gentleman is overrated! ”

If this is okay, at least Ding Yi still occupies the main position of the word guidance, and the back will be completely chaotic, because an old man on the side who is so thin that he feels that a gust of wind can blow away, he doesn't know where the strength comes from, and he roared: "If there is no majesty of His Highness, peace and tranquility outside?" Overseas Zhuyi know that my Celestial Empire is mighty? Taixi Daqin, a thousand-year-old country, will not travel thousands of miles to send the princess to make peace? Your Highness is mighty! Everybody said, right? ”

Then the people shouted in response: "That's right! Your Highness is mighty! I don't know who is cheap, so I roared, "Long live Your Highness!" The people also shouted: "Long live Your Highness!" ”

Ding Yi was helpless, so he could only snatch an iron horn: "Long live Daming!" Fortunately, those cuirassiers understood, and when they heard Ding Yi open his mouth and shouted "Long live Daming" in unison, this discordant voice was suppressed. Those old people came to their senses, hurriedly turned around and slapped a few juniors who were screaming a few times, and then they were about to kneel down and ask Ding Yi for their guilt.

"What is the sin?" Liu Ji hurriedly stopped a few old people and said with a smile, "Just now they said: 'Your Highness Qianqiu, long live my emperor', although Mr. doesn't like this tone, he won't blame people for a kind word, right?" He forcibly inserted the word "my emperor" into it, and he forced a rebellious sentence in this era.

After meeting with the people, they drank two bowls of wine with them, and finally got out of the car, Liu Ji smiled and said to Ding Yi: "Sir, I'm afraid that at this time, it is easy to follow the old things of Chen Qiao, and it is difficult to refuse this princess Taixi!" ”

Liu Ji meant that it was easier for Ding Yi to usurp the throne and become emperor than to reject Sofia in Eastern Rome.

This is what the people want, this is the trend.

"Why?" Ding Yi laughed when he heard this, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "If today, marriage and marriage are still involuntary, isn't it a big joke in the world?" "Ding is still full of confidence at this time, today's authority and strength are really just like Liu Ji said, if he wants to, the yellow robe will be added, but I am afraid that there will not be much opposition.

Because the court and the people are in the midst of the great voyage and war dividends, they are fed so much that they can't do without Ding Yi!

How can it be that you can't even control your own marriage?

But it was clear that Ding Yi was wrong.

Less than a mile away, only four or five hundred meters, and there is another village of the old folks to block the road, roughly the same demand, that is, I want to see someone Ding, see it, I am so excited that my beard trembles that kind of scene, and there are more young and strong students, obviously wearing a Confucian scarf, but after drinking, they shouted: "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!" "The students are willing to join the army, and they will not be subordinate to His Highness!" "Yes, Your Highness, the student is a small student who wishes to saddle before and after the horse, and follow His Highness to conquer the barbarians, and die unswervingly!" "Collect the fifteen states of Guanshan!" ”

Even the people who came over with wine and meat also shouted: "Your Highness, I am a good hand at killing pigs!" I'm going to kill the fuck with you! "That's right! Kill the big cannibal, he doesn't have long eyes, and he occupies His Highness's field! ”

As soon as Ding returned to the carriage, he shook his head incessantly: "Crazy, all crazy!" Fucking people will die in war, such a simple truth, why doesn't anyone understand it? ”

"Where righteousness goes, why fear life and death! Sir, popular hearts are available! Liu Ji instigated on the side.

But Cao Jixiang is quite calm: "People live for a lifetime, just for the sake of a glorious ancestor, a wife and a son, at least worry-free food and clothing." If you fight with the young master, as long as you pick up a life and come back, at least you don't worship the officials, and the local bereavement is also comprehensive, in the past ten years, whether it is a disabled soldier or a martyr's family, except for the pension issued by the Governor of the Four Seas, the pension issued by the imperial court, no one dares to deduct it; Because the martyrs are posthumously regarded as the registered disciples under the Rongcheng Gate, the local yamen celebrates the New Year's Festival, and there are many gifts. This is not counted, whether it is the Ministry of Industry, Yunyuan Mine, or overseas profits, if they are assigned to the name of the young master, they will set aside a part and send it to the homes of these disabled soldiers and martyrs, they are definitely in the village and county, even if they are not engaged in farming, they are also rich, and they have face, and the people look at it, and they are naturally willing to die for the young master. ”

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been unable to give up, and they are often family members.

The green skin who is messing around on the road, full of foul language, knows that "woe to his wife and children" is not enough.

Use your own life to fight for wealth, even if you are disabled and die, at least your family will not have to worry about it in this life, many people are willing.

And Ding Yi conscription, a single male is not wanted, which leads to a problem: no one has cut off the incense at home after joining the new army because of his death! In this era, incense is a very particular thing, and no one has cut off the incense because of the people who work hard for Ding Rongcheng!

"Now there are more than 1,000 disabled soldiers and martyrs, I can naturally take care of them, if I really start a war with the Ottomans, I am afraid that the number of casualties and soldiers is far more than this, how can I take care of it then?" Ding Yi smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples, he is indeed rich now, and he doesn't care about money, as long as there are dividends, he is willing to take care of these martyrs and disabled soldiers, but he can take care of it, mainly because the base is small, and it is originally a crack soldier policy.

If there are many people, say tens of thousands, how can he take care of them? The local government yamen gave Ding another face, how could he take care of it? Scarcity is precious, there are only seven or eight disabled servicemen in a county town and three or five families of martyrs, so no matter how good the county is, it can take care of hundreds of families of martyrs and disabled soldiers?

"Sir, Uncle Cao is joking, I am a Chinese citizen, and I am loyal and righteous......" Liu Ji was on the side, but he sang opposite to Cao Jixiang. Without him, Liu is also looking forward to a big battle, the territory of Eastern Rome, in its heyday, was very big, as long as it is defeated, he Liu will naturally govern one side!

"Joke nonsense!" Ding Yi was angry and directly rude, and reached out and slapped the back of Liu Ji's head, "Don't pour soup here!" ”

But Liu Ji didn't dare to pour the soup, but those people did it correctly, and returned to Goldfish Hutong, it was already evening, Liu Yiyi stepped forward to take off Ding Yi's robe and handed it to Yahuan, waited for Ding Yi to clean his face, and after using the hot soup, he waved his hand to teach his subordinates to quit, but curled up in Ding Yi's arms and whispered: "The concubine wants to ask her husband for something, I don't know if you can say it directly?" ”

"Ten years of husband and wife, why did they suddenly get separated?" Ding Yi smiled and stroked Yi's hair, but he was a little nervous for no reason.

Because Liu Yiyi has never used such a tone, what she wants to say today is only afraid that it is not trivial! R1152
