Chapter 444: The Handle
It was getting late, and the night was like a huge black curtain, covering the entire mountain.
Liang Jiong stood at the door of the house, looking at the undulating mountains from afar, like a dormant black beast, as if he didn't know when, he was about to jump out and bite you.
In addition to the insects and frogs in the mountains at night, there is no other sound, if you climb to a high place, you can also see the scattered fires in the bamboo houses everywhere, looking at the ordinary life in the countryside, it seems to be stable, but compared to the Great Jin, don't say that the land of Gyeonggi is an ordinary state city, and it can really only be said that it is extremely desolate.
Jizhou is Shangzhou, although it has suffered from locust drought, but the city of Kezhou has always been prosperous, Liang Jiong has been living in Jizhou since he left the Guangxin Army, and now he is looking at this unpopulated place, and his heart is really panicked.
He turned and walked towards the back room, and before he could open the door, he heard the familiar sound of reading inside.
"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. Knowing and then there is determination, and then there is calmness...... If you know what to do, you will be shortcut......"
It's the son who is endorsing.
Liang Jiong didn't know how to write and ink, so he naturally didn't know that his son was reciting the university chapter in the "Book of Rites", and he didn't know that it was about the principle of the husband's self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world, but it did not prevent him from hearing his son's intention to learn in the sound of reading.
He stood in the doorway for a long time, but still did not enter.
This son of his own family has been brilliant since he was a child, and he can memorize hundreds of words of articles as long as he reads them seven or eight times. The Master once said that if you are a good student, you may be able to think about Jinshi in the future.
Liang Jiong originally planned to think of ways to send his son to the state school, even if he relied on the savings he had saved by flesh and blood in the rain of guns and arrows, he would have to smash all of them into it, as long as he could attack an official body, it would be regarded as the old Liang family's life.
However, now that this incident has happened, don't say that Jin Shi and official body, even if you want to go back to Dajin, you can't do it.
In this Guangyuan Prefecture, he is the first big cave master, what can he do?
For a while, Liang Jiong didn't know where to go.
He stood in place, as if countless thoughts were turning in his mind, as if he had been stunned for a long time, until a personal soldier beside him called him for a long time, and then he reacted.
"General." The soldier called him again and told him what had happened.
It turned out that Xu Mao was looking for him.
Liang Jiong frowned involuntarily, very reluctant in his heart, but he still raised his legs and walked out.
Xu Mao sat in the White Tiger Hall, holding the tea in his hand, but he didn't dare to drink it, the left half of his face was still swollen high, and when he saw Liang Jiong coming in, he put the tea cup aside, stood up and bowed, which was considered a salute.
"General, what do you think of the afternoon Jiaozhi?"
Liang Jiong's face was a little ugly, and he only said: "Don't say anything about this matter, it's impossible." ”
Xu Mao hurriedly said: "General, now we are the opposite, if we are together with Jiaozhi, maybe we can still make the officers and soldiers jealous, with their support behind them, we can live here steadily in the future, otherwise with these three thousand people, what use can we have?" It's better to ......."
He was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Liang Jiong's chopping sound.
"No need to say anything about it!"
Liang Jiong glared at Xu Mao, frowned, and said in a calm voice: "I don't look at how many Guangnan people Jiaozhi killed in the past, I have all the Guangxin Army under my command, and six out of ten have fought with Jiaozhi I don't know how many times, and my comrades have been killed and injured countless times, how can I be mixed with them now!" Leaving people here overnight has already given them face, and today in the hall, you have also seen what their reactions are, if the next person knows, I am afraid that they will not make trouble! ”
Xu Mao smiled and said: "The military general is talking like this, but it is a little boring, the people of Guangnan are from the Great Jin, and now we are still from the Great Jin?" Since it has been reversed, where is there any 'Great Jin' and not 'Great Jin', and what 'comrades' are not 'comrades', which place gives more benefits, which place is standing in which place, don't say that the officials and soldiers want to kill us all, that is, they don't come, we have to deal with Jiaozhi in this Guangyuan Prefecture, and we will be able to stand firm in the future. ”
He also said: "It is to move into a new house, but also to send a fruit to the neighbors, open a banquet, and pull the relationship together, we have opened the country now, and naturally we have to have a relationship with the Lala next to us, which is not the ...... in the past."
Liang Jiong was annoyed when he heard this, and said very unhappily: "I was about to talk about the founding of the country, but our own people haven't discussed it yet, so you let people go out and spread it around, what do you mean?" ”
Xu Mao looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a smile: "What's the meaning of the villain?" Since the generals have rebelled, there is no turning back from the left and right, so it is better to open the country and give the people below a thought. ”
He saw that Liang Jiong's face was getting more and more gloomy, but he was not afraid at all, but said predictively: "I am just a small soldier, I have not been in the Guangxin army for a year, although I have to be named a 'prime minister', but thanks to the generals, I can afford it, but I never take it to heart." ”
"I haven't read any books, I can't read a few words, I used to just wander around, begging for food, where like a general, in the Guangxin army for many years, by the next personal respect, when the father is a mother, but I don't know what they said to the ministers and officials in the court when they knew that some people were cutting troops that day, and what benefits they made, and what they promised......"
Liang Jiong heard the last sentence, the expression on his face changed suddenly, and he only stared at Xu Mao.
Xu Mao smiled and said: "He seems to think that he can get benefits, who knows that the people above unload the mill and kill the donkey, the silver money is gone, but the seat is gone...... It's a pity that those individuals under the head could have been dismissed for seven or eight times, but when that person patted his chest and said, those seven or eight times became one or two, and they only needed to be cut in half, but they became cut in seven......"
"Xu Mao, you're putting a basin on someone else's head!" Liang Jiong finally completely changed color and gritted his teeth.
"The basin is not the basin, but I don't know, but the matter of the reduction of troops that day, who presided over it in the Guangxin army, and who named it, who mentioned the money, who patted his chest and promised that he would not call the next person to make trouble, and also gave the officials of the prime minister a package ticket, and everyone must return to their hometown in peace." Xu Mao smiled, glanced at Liang Jiong meaningfully, the left half of his face was high and swollen, and when he smiled, he looked very hideous.
"Now the brothers don't know about it, but I have the handprint of the man on the document that day, and if the brothers can see it, I don't know what the result will be......
