Chapter 68 Enjoying the Mountain
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed. He looked at Ao Bai and smiled: "Then many people have built a shrine for me, do you have any feelings?" ”
This question is really difficult to answer, Ao Bai thinks that the matter of Jiansheng Temple is too sb. What is this for? Do the believing eunuchs have eternal life?
Eunuchs can become gods, and the special function of officialdom is undoubtedly exposed, it can reverse black and white and play with the truth in broad daylight. If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you don't do it, you can do it. If you say no, you can't, and you can't.
Ao Bai was silent, he found that his face was still too thin, and he wouldn't even be a sycophant at a critical moment.
Wei Zhongxian asked, "What, don't you dare to say it?" ”
Ao Bai pondered for a moment and said: "It's not that I dare not say it, but it is not easy to say." I'm not a person in officialdom, I don't know why they built these shrines, and I can't talk nonsense about things I don't understand, this is my principle. ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded, satisfied with this answer. smiled: "The reason is very simple, our family has embarked on a lot of reforms, re-stabilized the crisis-ridden Ming Dynasty, united a large number of people from all walks of life around, and made officialdom more efficient." Ning Yuan's great victory, the people are cheering, how can the officials from all over the country not thank me? Many people say it's flattery. Hmph, why didn't anyone slap the Donglin Party's ass? They claim to be righteous and honest, but they are separated from the people for personal gain, and they also spread rumors that those who pat on the back will be reused, and those who don't slap on the back will be murdered, and our family is not a god, how can we harm those magistrates outside Beijing? ”
Damn, Lao Wei, you are even more shameless than the one who spent 300 million to invite Hong Kong, Japanese and Korean stars to sell steamed buns! Hearing you say that, how do I think your self-palace is as significant as the crucifixion of Jesus?
Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "This ...... I still don't quite understand. ”
Wei Zhongxian opened the conversation box and chatted as if Ao Bai was his best friend. He believes that he has a lot of credit, and the proudest thing is to suppress the Donglin Party. In his opinion, the Donglin Party is just a bunch of old and rotten people, who are good at writing eight-strand essays, and they don't know anything about economics and military affairs.
"This group of people, it's okay to take money and not work when they are divided, but when they are restless, they want to provoke infighting, satirize the government and politics, and judge the characters. Our family unites the bottom and appeases the people. Emphasizing the use of low-level officials (those who sing praises of virtue) who understand the people's feelings, strengthen the defense outside the gates, and also whitewash the peace and boost morale through projects such as the construction of the Imperial Palace. They don't do anything, they just want to reduce taxes for businessmen and burden the common people! ”
The more Ao Bai listened, the more dizzy he became, so he had to smile and say: "Nine thousand years old loves the people like a son, it is indeed worthy of praise, and I hope that nine thousand years old can also do more at the border pass." ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Isn't it enough for me to appoint people, transfer them properly, reuse Yuan Zhenghuan and other practical people, and guard the border passes?" ”
Aobai's brain was blank, and he was stunned: "Lord Yuan is a nine-thousand-year-old person? ”
Wei Zhongxian said proudly: "Of course he was promoted by me, and he also relied on the military supplies and ordnance funded by me. He took the lead in building a shrine for me in Liaojing, but he knew Entu Bao very well. ”
The world is so crazy that national heroes have become eunuchs! What Wei Zhongxian said next, Ao Bai was in the left ear and out of the right ear, and he basically didn't listen to it.
The carriage traveled for a while and came to a place - Tianquan Mountain!
Ao Bai walked out of the carriage, only to see that the mountains and rivers here are around, and the walls are ten thousand thousands, which is a series of natural dangers. He was a little puzzled: "Nine thousand years old invited me here to enjoy the mountain with me?" ”
Wei Zhongxian turned his head and pointed at someone: "It's not me, it's him." ”
This man was young and handsome, with elegant manners, decent and polite, and a slender figure, he nodded with a smile and said hello to Aobai.
Wei Zhongxian introduced: "He is my righteous son Liang Bin. Let's go and enjoy the mountains together. Xiaobin, treat yourself well, when you're done, you have to send Huang Peng back. ”
"Father-in-law, rest assured." Liang Bin said respectfully.
Wei Zhongxian got into the carriage and left with many guards.
Ao Bai knew that the other party had no malicious intentions, so he was also very open, and said with a smile: "What kind of reward is Brother Liang going to give?" ”
Liang Bin made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Go to the top of the mountain first." ”
There are no improved mountain trails here. Enjoying the mountains? Do you want to try my kung fu? Wei Zhongxian asked Yizi to meet with me, probably trying to win me over. No matter what he prepares now, it will be a dead end in a year.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Liang Bin said: "Brother Huang, how about we test our foot strength?" ”
"Okay, Brother Liang, please lead the way."
Liang Bin nodded, ran towards the mountain, and after a few ups and downs, he ran out of a distance. Ao Bai also wanted to see what Wei Zhongxian's righteous son was capable of, let go of his hands and feet, and followed closely. At the same time, the inner lion mark that harmonizes the body and the sun wheel seal that restores physical strength are knotted.
The two of them didn't pause for a moment, and kept going up. Ao Bai deliberately kept a few steps away, and Liang Bin's body surprised him.
The two ran for half an hour without stopping. The further you go, the more difficult the road becomes, and soon there is no way out. Liang Bin stopped, took two deep breaths, saw that Ao Bai was breathing steadily, and sighed: "Brother Huang is really proficient in internal skills, and he has practiced a good kung fu!" The younger brother is willing to bow down. ”
Ao Baiqi said: "Brother Liang is not simple, what kind of kung fu are you practicing?" ”
Liang Bin said: "Wudang Taijiquan." What kind of kung fu is Brother Huang practicing? ”
It turned out to be Tai Chi, and in reality, the four major schools of Chinese martial arts are Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Kunlun. Ao Bai belongs to Nanquan, and it seems that it has not developed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so he said embarrassedly: "I have no door and no faction, just a master." ”
Liang Bin didn't ask much, pointed to the edge of the cliff and said, "This is the ladder to the sky." If you want to go up the mountain from this road, you can only hold on to the iron chain over there, and below is the abyss, can Brother Huang dare to give it a try? ”
Ao Bai also found the rows of iron chains on the edge of the hanging rock, and he was surprised. This mountain is so steep, leaving a good road to go, running to climb iron chains, without even some protection, these people are probably the earliest mountaineers. He didn't climb the mountain like this, but he didn't want to show weakness, so he didn't move the seal of the Ming King, and said lightly: "Let's go, I hope this iron chain is strong enough." ”
The two of them grabbed the iron chain and climbed on the mountain wall for half an hour without danger, and finally stood on the mountain at an altitude of thousands of meters. Through the dense woods, the side of the ridge is seen as a peak, and the clouds and mist love the peaks. This is a three-dimensional gallery given by nature, conveying a longed-for magic.
There is a flat land at the top of the mountain, and then turn east to the stone road, and you will come to a wide earthen platform with a red pavilion built.
Ao Bai and Liang Bin walked side by side, Liang Bin gasped for a while, Ao Bai's breathing was still steady, and he couldn't see that he had gone through strenuous exercise at all.
Liang Bin sighed: "Before I met Brother Huang, the younger brother thought that he was the person with the deepest internal skills in the younger generation, are you really only twenty-one years old?" ”
Ao Bai nodded. He was full of curiosity about Wei Zhongxian's power, he had so many masters under him, how could he be easily killed by Chongzhen? For the future, he is a little at a loss.
Liang Bin stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly: "Actually, on the first day that Brother Huang entered the city and lived in Hefu, we have already begun to investigate you, because you are tall and extraordinary. ”
I was targeted on the first day. Ao Bai smiled: "What did you find? ”
Liang Bin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Nothing." The background is unknown, the age is unknown, the martial arts are unknown, and the only information that can be found is that you have three wives, and you brought eleven Jurchens and one Mongol to the capital together. Your past is a complete mystery, can you satisfy the curiosity of the younger brother and tell me who you really are? Is Huang Peng your real name? ”
Ao Bai had a hint of pride, and said lightly: "It turns out that there are your people in the family of He Mansion." Huang Peng is my real name. I left the Central Plains with my master when I was a child, and I have been away for more than ten years, so it would be really strange if you could find out my information. ”
Liang Bin was stunned and said, "I don't know where Brother Huang went?" ”
Ao Bai said blindly: "North Korea." No matter how wide your eyes are, you can't find out what's going on there, right? ”
Liang Bin nodded expressionlessly, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
Ao Bai asked: "Nine thousand years old asked you to try me this time, do you want to find out my details and use it for him?" ”
Liang Bin smiled: "Brother Huang is a smart person, so I won't go around the bend, I don't know which side Brother Huang wants to stand on?" ”
"If you're asking which side of the force, I'm neutral. I had just arrived in the capital, and I didn't know the situation at all. And I don't seek officials or money, I face my wife day and night, and my life is very comfortable. If there is a choice, I would like to be on the side of the poor. ”
Liang Bin laughed and said: "Standing on the side of the people, it is really compassionate, but Brother Huang married three ladies, not like a person who cultivates Buddhism." ”
Ao Bai smiled: "I am a man of temperament, and I have no intention of studying Buddhism. I just want not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and I feel at ease. I also have a few questions I want to ask, and I hope Brother Liang can tell me the truth. ”
Liang Bin said: "My father-in-law knows very well that Brother Huang will definitely be suspicious of him after hearing the rumors from outsiders, and some things, when they come out of his mouth, you will also feel that they are quibbles." That's why I arranged this mountain viewing, I have two tasks, one is to try your kung fu, and the second is to answer some of your questions. If there's anything you want, just ask. ”
Wei Zhongxian thought very thoughtfully. Ao Bai asked softly, "Is the goal of the nine thousand years old for the people, or for himself?" Many people outside say that the eunuch party is chaotic, can Brother Liang talk about it? ”
Liang Bin said with a smile: "My father-in-law is for the emperor." Everything he did benefited the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the Eunuch Party was actually the Apocalypse Party. It is difficult for the emperor to do, and everything that cannot be done publicly is left to the father-in-law to complete. The people who were attacked by the father-in-law were all unpleasant to the emperor's eyes. Otherwise, he was repeatedly impeached, and the people built ancestral halls, how could the emperor ignore it? If the father-in-law wants to exterminate the Donglin Party, how can Lord Sun Chengzong be okay all the time, Lord Sun is deeply trusted by the emperor, but he resigned. ”
Emperor Apocalypse actually wants to attack the loyal and patriotic Donglin Party members, what is going on? Ao Bai is getting more and more incomprehensible. He looked at Liang Bin and said, "I don't know much about the Donglin Party, so it's better for you to tell it in detail, and I'll tell it myself." ”
