That's all for Chapter 48
readx; Gao Jixuan looked at the undulating sea, and didn't speak for a long time, until Shi Zhongxin couldn't bear to leave before he smiled and said, "Binghou, tell me, who is the person we serve?" Is it the official family, or the people of the world? ”
Shi Zhongxin said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is an official family!" ”
"Since we are serving the official family, why do we pay attention to other people's thoughts? This sneak attack on Yelu Hongji was personally planned, initiated, and ordered to be carried out by His Majesty, you say, since the official family wants to prove his martial arts and resourcefulness, we, as courtiers, can only go all out to carry it out, and go all out to complete an impossible task well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Top" and "Point". x.co this is our vocation.
The prime minister has the duty of arguing and correcting, the governor has the duty of assisting the emperor in governance, and the general has the duty of conquering the four provinces and stabilizing the country, so the emperor is angry, the four seas are prosperous, and the blood of the earth is the only choice.
He Pang Ji, he Han Qi, he Di Qing, he Yun Zheng, and he are also the emperor's courtiers, what reason does he have not to serve the emperor?
Binghou, you always remember one thing, we are actually the retainers of the official family, as long as the official family does not abandon us, we cannot leave the official family, you carefully count our advantages, in addition to the unconditional service to His Majesty, what is left?
In terms of political affairs, we are not as good as Pang Ji, Han Qi, Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo, and even Fu Bi, Bao Zheng, Zeng Gongliang, in terms of military merits, we and Di Qingyunzheng cannot be compared at all.
Our children and nephews can only eat, drink and have fun, this is our way of survival, and it is also the foundation of our world, and continue like this. Within two generations, our family will be in ashes.
You and I both know very well that our wealth was bought by our fathers and ancestors, and now we have no capital to be born and die, and we have only one way to go to death for the official family.
Do you think I don't know how difficult it is, and you think I don't know how hard it will be? Gao Jide is my cousin, Gao Yue, and Gao Deng are my sons and nephews, and Zhang Dongyao is a rare warrior among us.
But don't you send it to death? Di Qing. People like Yun Zheng are about to replace us. Do you know what happens when you are replaced? Binghou, do you know? ”
Shi Zhongxin was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after a long time, he said, "Send to death? ”
Gao Jixuan nodded heavily and said, "Send it to death!" ”
"Are you crazy? Take your juniors and brothers to death, you can do this. I have many sons. I don't want to do it. Even if the title is gone, it's not a big deal, even if we can't be honorable, at least we can still be rich.
Gao Jixuan smiled and grabbed Shi Zhongxin's shoulder and said, "The people of my Gao family have already risked their lives. The next one should be the Shi family, the emperor is an evil dragon, he needs flesh and blood to be fed, where are you going to escape? ”
Shi Zhongxin broke away from Gao Jixuan's hands, pulled his legs and ran to the side of the carriage, got into it as soon as he was short, and slapped the door of the car and yelled at the groom: "Go back to Beijing, go back to Beijing, let's leave Dengzhou, go quickly!" ”
The groom flicked his whip, and the cart drawn by the four horses sprang out and threw Shi Zhongxin to the back of the car, and even then he yelled at the groom to go quickly.
Lao Wei and Bobo are looking for a place to get out, but they found nothing, the reason why the Liao royal family takes a fancy to this mountain forest swamp, the biggest reason is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the three ways out are locked, the entire duck river water will become a relatively closed space, but this year is different, the emperor came earlier, the ice on the duck river is still very thick, all people can still break into the duck river from the ice, and this is how the carving bowl enters here.
However, Lao Wei is not in a hurry, the six Haidongqing were driven to the old forest by Bo Bo, the Liao people can't see it, they feel very comfortable living in this hot spring mountainous area, the wind and snow in Liaodong will turn into a drizzle here, there are many beasts in the whole valley, there is no shortage of food, plus the salt they originally planned to bring to the Bo people, life here is not hard, and there will even be some wild fun.
This valley was originally a winter refuge for the whole clan, as long as the Liao emperor began to live in the spring bowl, the women and children would hide here for the winter, and only some of the strongest warriors in the tribe were left to guard the cattle and sheep of the whole clan, until the next spring when the flowers bloomed and then returned to the blisters to continue grazing and hunting.
This is the valley that God has given to his people, and Bo Bo insists that every time he hunts, he only allows everyone to hunt the old, weak, sick and disabled goats, and elk, and never harms the prey that comes here with their young for the winter. Listen to him, this is the family rule of the Jurchen clan.
Hunting in the valley is very simple, just aim and shoot, crossbow arrows have a natural invincible power here, those elk, goats even if they see their companions dead, will not panic and run away, but continue to gnaw on the moss and little grass on the ground very resignedly.
The days are lonely, this is the greatest enemy, Bo Bo said that in the past they would dance in the valley, worship the gods, and get married, the old people would teach the children how to hunt, the women would weave fishing nets, and when the Liao people were gone, they would go to fish in the blisters, and some young men and women who were not good at learning would go to the caves......
Now counting Bobo, there are only thirteen men here, so naturally there will be no such varied activities, but fortunately, Lao Zhao is a know-it-all, and he has been running around the business roads all his life, and when he has nothing to do, he will soak in the hot springs and listen to him tell about what he has seen and heard about various places.
If Lao Zhao was tired of talking, or drunk, Bo Bo would pester Lao Wei to tell him the story of the general's battle, especially the story of the general's capture of the king of Jiaozhi. Lao Wei didn't know how many times he had told it, so that as long as Bo Bo approached him, the other generals would naturally disperse, and whoever heard a story hundreds of times would avoid it.
The sky never saw the shadow of the White Jade King again, and Bo Bo told Lao Wei that if Hai Dongqing didn't fly in the sky for a long time, it wouldn't be able to fly, and Hai Dongqing, who fell to the ground, would soon grow fat, and finally never want to fly like a fat goose.
Lao Wei didn't know if what Bo Bo said was correct, but he hadn't seen the White Jade King these days, which made the best footnote to Bo Bo's words. Not only Lao Wei, but Lao Zhao also sincerely hoped that the White Jade King would be as fat as a pig and could no longer fly.
Yelu Hongji looked at the white jade king standing on the shelf angrily, he decided to starve the white jade king for ten days, and wait for the fat on the white jade king's body to consume a part of it before trying to fly, the eagle should fight in the sky, only the duck will forage on the ground.
The king of Qin did not come for a long time, but Zhang Shiyu, the envoy of the Song state, came first.
He came to participate in the "Head Fish Banquet" and "Head Goose Banquet" presided over by the Liao Emperor, which was the most important sacrificial activity of the Liao State, and the envoys who came were not only the envoys of the Song State, but also the envoys of the Western Xia, the Goryeo envoys, and the leaders of the ninety-six Jurchen tribes in Beishan.
All the people will give the most precious gifts to Yelu Hongji, and the annual New Year's coins and silk of the Great Song Dynasty will also be delivered at this time.
Yelu Hongji frowned and looked at the gift list presented by Zhang Shiyu, and asked, "Why are there so few coins this year?" ”
Zhang Shiyu bowed and said: "I learned that His Majesty was here in person, and the gifts were naturally very rich, but it was a pity that I met two evil ministers, who snatched half of the gifts as their own military expenses. ”
Yelu Hongji said angrily: "Liao and Song are the countries of in-laws, the Great Song Emperor has such evil ministers under his command, it is really infuriating, I know that the Song soldiers will be cowardly, if I send troops to capture this evil thief and present it to His Majesty the Emperor, in this way, the in-law relationship between the Song and Liao countries will be further advanced!" What do you think? ”
Zhang Shiyu applauded and praised: "Your Majesty is wise, if you can eradicate these two evil ministers, I am grateful to Your Majesty!" ”
Yelu Hongji sat back on his throne, looked at the courtiers and envoys around him, and said, "Who are these two?" ”
Zhang Shiyu said with a smile: "One is Di Qing, the other is Yun Zheng, now these two people are in Hejian Mansion, the other is in Yanmen Pass, all day long soldiers and horses are ready to plunder everywhere, my Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, how can there be such evil deeds, especially Yun Zheng, this person is a robbery nature, arson robbery is already commonplace, and now the emperor of Jiaozhi is still detained in Tokyo, it is difficult to return home, and it is difficult to run to the country, it is Lai Yunzheng's gift, a good country has become a place of war in an instant, and it is heartbreaking to hear it.
There are lessons from the past, and our officials have persuaded them countless times, asking them to have a little mercy and not to harm their neighbors, but these two people still die unrepentant, which is really hateful! ”
The ghost slave general under the pedestal of Yeluhong came out of the class and played: "Your Majesty, since the emperor of the southern kingdom cannot control his own courtiers, if he gives his ministers 100,000 soldiers and horses, he will definitely clear the demonic atmosphere for the Great Song Dynasty, and return the Great Song Dynasty to a clear and clear sky. ”
Zhang Shiyu laughed and said: "When I was last year, Xixia did not hide Pang Xiangguo also had this thought, I look forward to His Majesty that Xixia Xiangguo can help our country, but unfortunately, the battle of Rocky Slope, the famous general Zhang Zhi of Western Xia was cast into a wax statue by Yun Zheng and transported back to Beijing, and it is still placed in the Wucheng Hall for me to pay respects. ”
The ghost slave was furious, but was stopped by Xiao Ke, the deputy privy envoy of the Privy Council of the Liao State, and saw Xiao Ke smile and said, "What is the reason why the Song envoy is aggressive? My emperor is above, and I will definitely be able to give you an explanation! ”
Zhang Shiyu said with a smile: "Without him, when the old man is about to make an envoy, the two generals Yun and Di said that there will be so many coins in the future!" (To be continued.) )
