Chapter Seventy-Four: Useful and Useless

Speaking of the August Autumn Society, floods broke out in Hebei, and a large number of refugees fled to Qingzhou.

When she heard the news, the knife in her hand was raised in the air, and it took a long time before it fell, and she continued to shred the candied plum cake and garnished it on the 'community rice' with pork slices, kidneys, milk rooms, belly and lungs, duck cakes, and melon and ginger.

She lowered her head and said, "Go, go, good men have ambitions in all directions." ”

Fu Liangbi couldn't help but want to laugh and said, "Why does it sound sour?" ”

Yizhi poured a rich sauce on Fu Liangbi's club meal, and said: "If you are empty, you are lazy, you are good, or the second brother, you are busy with official business, one is over, and the other is over." ”

Fu Liangbi frowned and said, "You are still young, why are you nagging more and more." ”

Yizhi said angrily: "Mother has introduced countless girls to the two of you, you are good, but I want other girls to rush to find you." The second brother said that there is someone in my heart, what about you, you always make excuses, busy, busy, you asked for your daughter-in-law earlier, and she looked at you, what do I have to worry about in vain, do you think I want to nag. ”

Fu Liangbi nodded perfunctorily.

Yizhi only felt angry, stared at him and said: "Now it seems that the third brother is the most worry-free, the lady has also settled, and the family property has also been saved, which is more reliable than the two of you!" ”

Fu Liangbi cross-examined: "You and Brother Xu were angry from the front, who reconciled them, and now you say such things, can you forget your feelings?" ”

Yi Zhi was angry, and he was about to pour sauce on his share of the meal, Fu Liangbi hurriedly rescued him, and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Wang Zeng and several other masters held a social banquet in the academy, and hired singers, messengers, etc., playing silk and bamboo, singing words, and cheering.

She couldn't help but think of how happy and noisy the Qingming Courtyard was during the festival in the past.

Now that he has passed away, even Ouyang Xu, who is by his side, always goes out early and returns late, and it is rare to meet him. She sat on the platform under the verandah, leaning her chin, looking at the bamboo forest, time passed along her fingers, and she didn't feel that it was late autumn.

She also put on her back from a light robe, and sometimes she also needs to hold the soup woman, as long as the wind leaks, she will freeze and ache.

She said, "Will Your Excellency follow me to Western Xia?" ”

Shi Yuansu, the deputy general who was captured with Liu Ping, was eating wine and thinking with a smile that after the girl Uncle Fan arrived in Dengzhou, he rebuilt the Lanxiu Pavilion, built the Chunfeng Pavilion, built Baihuazhou, and set up the Huazhou Academy. Now he has been promoted to the position of Governor and Privy Envoy, and he will return to Beijing in the near future.

After the girl's Yuqi brother arrived in Rensuo's Dingzhou, he first vigorously reorganized the army, adopted the method of enwei and parallelism, decisively killed the soldiers with extremely bad conduct, and rewarded those who fought with death. Later, he studied the art of war of Li Jing, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, imitating the three formations of Fang Yuanrui, and ordered the soldiers to practice the sun and the moon, so that the reputation of "Jingjin Guanheshuo" was greatly enhanced. Now he has been promoted to the deputy envoy of the three divisions in charge of the tax account case, and he will return to Beijing in the near future.

In ancient times, the method of disaster relief was to gather the common people in the city and cook porridge for the displaced people to eat, which resulted in illness and trampling on each other, and some of them could not eat the porridge for several days and starved, in the name of helping the victims, but in fact killing the victims. The girl's brother Liangbi was able to make everyone work together, not only saving more than 500,000 victims, but also recruiting displaced people as soldiers. In the future, I will also return to Beijing.

He paused for a moment before he said, "The girl married to Western Xia to be the queen." Anyway, I should have asked the girl. Is the girl really willing to use me, a slurry who steals his life? ”

His implication is that I can't afford a character like you.

Yizhi was silent for a long time, and said: "In their mouths, am I not also a bad seed who is immoral and undisciplined, and steals his life? ”

Shi Yuansu's heart moved, and he sneered unconsciously: "I waited for the country, fought bloodily, even if I fell into Western Xia, no matter how Yuan Hao bewitched, I would rather die than commit treason, and now that the two countries have negotiated peace, he has released me back." But because I didn't die, I became a sinner. I didn't die under the sword of the Tanguts, but I had to die under the mouths of this group of sanctimonious things. ”

Yizhi also took a sip of wine, breathed like frost, and said: "Whether it is Yelu Chongyuan or Yuan Hao, no matter how presumptuous they are, they don't dare to say a word, but when they scold me, their eyes are round and full of anger." ”

She paused for a moment and said, "Your Excellency hasn't said yet, whether you are willing to go to Western Xia with me." ”

Shi Yuansu was stunned for a long time and said: "I endured humiliation in Western Xia, but it was not to return to that place and serve him loyally. I, Shi Yuansu, am a person of the Song Kingdom in life, and death is the soul of the Song Kingdom. ”

Yizhi took another sip of wine, she pursed her lips, frowned and said, "Your Excellency is useless in the Song Kingdom, how can you make a comeback." You finally survived, and the rest of your life was depressed, and it was not very cost-effective to drown in the spitting stars. ”

Shi Yuansu's expression was a little relaxed.

Yizhi added: "We are here to better protect the Song Kingdom. ”

Shi Yuansu was still a little hesitant.

Yizhi continued to follow the temptation: "Our ambition, where do those fools understand, why should they care. ”

Shi Yuansu finally made up his mind, he poured down the wine in the cup and shouted, "Okay! After that, he smashed the wine cup into the snow, turned around and knelt in front of Yizhi, saluted with his hand, and said: "I am a person in history, and I am willing to follow the girl until death!" ”

Yi Zhi hurriedly puffed up his chest to show respect for him.

But he said that Xia Song lingered on the sick bed for a long time, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and finally couldn't survive the cold winter and went away.

Yizhi was silent in front of Shi Jie's stage every day, full of bitterness, and wanted to cry loudly, but his eyes were dry and he couldn't shed a single tear. The letter of more than 10,000 words sent by Han Yuqi and Fu Liangbi was left on the desk and not read carefully.

Ouyang Xu came to inquire from time to time, and Yizhi had to raise his eyebrows and scolded: "The imperial examination is going to be held in the spring, should I read the book!" He chattered a lot before he was relieved to go.

As soon as Ouyang Xu was gone, his memories were like falling into an endless sea of sorrow, watching the ripples rippling and sinking infinitely.

Before Xia Song died, he knew that he had died at the hands of the handmaid who knew how to write in Fuliangbi, because he didn't know that the kid was the handmaid's friend. If he knew, he would not have allowed the boy to strangle the handmaid and Shi Jie, as well as the handmaiden's only relative, the old but kind grandmother.

It took nearly half a year, a little bit of medicine every day, so painstaking, it was really not as pleasant as stabbing him to death.

Looking at her hands, she felt that the self was still there, but she felt that the self was dead. When Rui'er died for her, she died together.

She didn't sleep a night, and all the nights were weird and treacherous nightmares, or infinitely erosive spring dreams. Either way, she was exhausted, and the only person who could make her feel at peace was far away in Western Xia, and she had to take great pains to hide it in front of everyone, so she preferred the time she was alone all the moreβ€”at that time, she didn't need to explain to anyone.

There are still two years to go, and if you stay up for another two years and overthrow Lu Yijian, you can live a good life.

Memories' fists clenched tighter and tighter, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

The Son of Heaven in the Golden Hall wanted to summon her for the first time after many months, and he didn't know why, so he slowly collected the palace makeup. When he arrived, he was very drunk, his eyes were glazed, and his mouth was lingering.

The inner supervisors led by Yanwen Yuan were clustered around him, looking at him with blank eyes, just afraid of bumping or bumping.

Zhao Zhen made a snoring sound in his throat, and first shouted: "Sister Huang! ”

Memories watched them dance in front of them and hummed.

Zhao Zhen said lightly, loudly, and shouted: "Liao Xingzong forgot eight things, and we were not allowed to negotiate peace with Western Xia, and said that if we insist on making peace with Western Xia, we will be enemies with them, and we will tear up the covenant!" ”

Yizhi raised his spirit and said: "The covenant has been signed, and if they say they don't allow it, they won't allow it, where is the prestige of Song Guo?" ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, almost even shaking himself down, he said: "Sister Huang, this is an excellent time, let's tell this news, tell Yuan Hao, maybe we can suppress the original number of coins and silk." Sister Huang, you don't have to marry that person. ”

He said disdainfully: "He has married five wives, five! All dead, he's not worthy of you! ”

Yizhi only felt a surge in her abdomen, she endured the discomfort, and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the civil strife in the Liao Kingdom calming down?" ”

Zhao Zhen squinted, hummed suspiciously, and said, "I don't know, I just heard that the younger brother of the Liao Emperor was imprisoned in the other garden." ”

Yizhi was silent for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Liao Xingzong's rebellion was not succeeded due to Yuan Hao's intervention, and the Liao Emperor's younger brother has many supporters in the government and the opposition.

When Liaoxia fought, Western Xia might not have lost.

If we lose our trust again, Liao Guosheng will win, if it is Xixia Sheng, I am afraid that he will turn the horse's head and beat us Song Guo. ”

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a long time and said, "That's ...... According to the royal sister, what should I do? ”

The way of remembrance: "Only by doing nothing can we do nothing." ”

Zhao Zhen staggered and said, "I'm afraid, I'm only afraid of inaction...... He would turn the horse's head around and attack the Song Kingdom. ”

Yizhi was silent for a moment and said, "I will go to him, and I will accompany him." If Western Xia wins, everything will be fine. If I lose, let someone find out, it is also my personal prostitution and smuggling, and it has nothing to do with Song Guo. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Yizhi with full eyes, he shook for a long time, and finally came to his senses, he took a step towards Yu Ji and walked to sit down. He was stunned and said, "Imperial sister...... I owe you nothing in this life. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself too much...... I also have my own selfishness. She hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "I love him." ”

Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, and said: "Duke Lu also has the same intention, and he will not move, and said that as long as you are willing to go to Yuan Hao, he is willing to immediately disarm and return to the field, and never interfere in the government again." ”

Yizhi struck a scorching thunder in her ears, like a thousand arrows in her heart, her eyes were full of tears, and she said indignantly: "Why is he, why can he retreat with his whole body, my father is loyal and patriotic, he can sacrifice my life regardless of my safety, he is clean and self-reliant, and he is famous for a lifetime!" But they will end up depressed in gossip!

Lu Yijian deceived his superiors and subordinates, cheated for personal gain, bought and sold people, and lost his conscience, how could he get out of the way!

What do you say, as long as I am willing to go to Yuan Hao, he is willing to immediately disarm and return to the field, and never interfere in the government again. How can he be so great, and in the end, he can be so great! ”

Zhao Zhen's voice was calm and powerful, as if he had never been drunk at all, and the person who was staggering was not him. He cried off: "He can't go, the country needs him, the society needs him, I need him." ”

Remembering shed two lines of tears, and said sadly: "Then why do you want to tell me...... You don't have to tell me. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "When is the time for retribution, I can't let you fight anymore, and I can't bear to deceive you." ”

Yi Zhi couldn't help but shake his head: "No, no, I must destroy him, just as he ruined me, ruined my father, and ruined my home." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Sister Huang, look forward." The future and the past are more important. ”

Memories churned in her belly, and she couldn't help but gag, she said: "So you are testing me, you know that I love Yuanhao, so you must clearly know between the country and Yuanhao, how will I choose?" My future lies between these choices...... I didn't know that in this inch, I had picked up another life......"

Yizhi asked: "You know, you know everything Lu Yijian did?" ”

She said in a trance: "You want to appoint Brother Liangbi as a scholar of Jixian Palace, and Brother Yuqi as the deputy envoy of the Third Division." Uncle Fan is a member of the governor's office. He knows that the tide is over, and he is afraid that we will deal with him, so he might as well take this opportunity to leave the game with dignity......"

Zhao Zhen said: "He is still useful." ”

Yizhi explained the second half of what he didn't say, you can't fight anymore. She sneered: "I see, his role has not been exhausted...... At the end of the day, we're all for you. ”

She stayed for a long time and said, "This golden chair can turn everyone into one appearance, right?" ”

He hung his head and laughed silently, laughing so much that his shoulders shrugged and shrugged, and the laughter made people panic, and after a moment, he raised his head again and said, "Xia Song was killed by you." ”

Remembrance's heart trembled.

Zhao Zhen understood, nodded, and said, "Sure enough." I am not afraid of Fan Zhongyan, Han Yuqi, Fu Liangbi and others to admonish me, but I will never tolerate you poisoning my courtiers in private. ”

Yizhi smiled, she laughed and cried, and asked, "My brother Shi Jie is also His Majesty's courtier, where were you when Xia Song poisoned him?" Why don't you protect him and let him die cold and be incinerated...... Even ashes, even ashes! Her eyes were red, her expression became hideous, and she said, "Even the ashes are sprinkled at will!" ”

She stretched out her hand and pressed it to her chest: "He is my family, a living person, and suddenly it is gone, and if he says no, he is gone......"

Zhao Zhen said: "You don't understand, take a hair and move your whole body...... You don't understand......" Zhao Zhen couldn't help shaking his head and said, "He's still useful, he's still useful." ”

Nodding her head with her eyes full of sorrow, she said, "Therefore, we can only become more useful than him." ”
