Chapter 327: The Monarch and the Ministers Are Candid

In the "Song Criminal Rule: Famous Laws", it is clearly stipulated: "...... If the person is over 70 years old and under 15 years old and has a disability, he shall be punished at his discretion. And so do those who are unbearable outcasts. Over eighty, under ten years old and sick, and released, no need to repeat the ...... "According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, criminals over the age of 70 can not be **, Yang Zaixing must be pardoned by the emperor if he wants to live."

After Yang Zaixing was captured, he was finally put into a prisoner car, escorted by heavy troops, and taken to Lin'an (now Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the imperial study, Song Gaozong, who was not guilty of the past, once again met with this old hero who had been crisscrossing the Wuxi area for more than 20 years, and the monarch and the minister had a last conversation.

"Miao King Yang Zaixing, I can't imagine that ten years later, you and I will meet in such a way." Zhao said.

"The two sons of this king have been cut down by the Holy One, what difference is there between seeing and not seeing?" Yang Zaixing did not bow down.

"Wugang military plan has ten villages, namely Sanmen (when in the territory of today's Dongkou), Shicha, Zhenliang (Zhezong Dynasty has this place name), Yuexi (when it belongs to Suining), Linkou, Guanxia, Huangshi, Xinning, Suining, Yonghe. Do you know the strength of each village? Song Gaozong asked.

"In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, there were 300 soldiers in Wuyang Village, and later 300 people were divided equally in Wuyang, Yuexi, and Suining, with 100 people as the limit, and the number of troops in each village varied."

"Old heroes have good memories. There are a total of 29 villages on Jinghu South Road, and the Wugang army accounts for more than 30%, why? ”

"The land of Wuxi Miao is not subdued, the imperial court has spent so much effort to strengthen the military force, and the saint is in a hurry!"

"I often think so, in the past twenty years, you have repeatedly rebelled, and I have treated you well."

"My ancestor has been self-reliant since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Fengshuo is orthodox, has never been called the emperor, and it is just to protect the peace of one party, how can he betray?"

"That's why I tolerate you again and again, and I don't care how much I pay tribute. The imperial court does not value the value of the tribute, but the loyalty and sincerity. Therefore it is often that the tribute is few, but the reward is many. ”

"Sinnerβ€”"

"I sit here and say to you that I have forgiven you, what a sin."

"Thank you, Lord Ron. The chieftain of the land of five rivers often thinks of the saint and wants to pay tribute. His Majesty has repeatedly asked the Wugang army to persuade the army that the road is far away and that it can be exempted from paying tribute. For its tribute, the imperial court asked the government to return it with a discount of five points. The minister was terrified. ”

"It's all gone...... I don't have a son, and you've lost a son. After so many years of fighting between our monarchs and ministers, it's time to end. ”

"It's still the same sentence, the city is self-governing, if the saint doesn't allow it, cut me down!"

"I can't help it, I cut you, who will protect the country of the Great Song Dynasty after a hundred years? That's it. My Great Song Dynasty has a deep relationship with the Yang generals in the south and the Yang generals in the north, and I have been ashamed of Yang Zaixing, the general of the Zhenguo, for so many years. ”

"The minister also has an army in Shiqian County, 100,000 soldiers and civilians gathered here, it will be of great use in a hundred years, I implore Your Majesty not to raise troops to chase and suppress, this is the last capital of my Yang family."

"Good. As long as they are loyal and patriotic, I should reward them heavily. Yang Zaixing, the general of Zhenguo, listened to the edict and ordered you to guard Shiqian County, and lead the city to the village, and the official to the first grade. ”

"Emperor Shengming, that old minister will leave for Shiqian County immediately."

"Don't worry, I'm nearly half a hundred years old, and I'm old, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. Qin Hui, this guy is extremely insidious, framed Zhongliang, and murdered Yue Fei, I can't regret it, I'm afraid I will be infamous through the ages. ”

"If a person is not a sage, he can do no wrong. The saint is also a saint, and he makes use of the economy. Use the income of the market to paralyze the will of the Jin people, and the Jin people will be destroyed by my Great Song Dynasty in less than a hundred years. ”

"Don't go far, I am alone, and the responsibility of governing the country and dominating the world in the future will be handed over to the next generation. The emperor is a high-risk profession, and I will retire after a few more years. Today, you will have dinner alone with me, and you will go back to work tomorrow. ”

"No. Holy Lord, let's talk about calligraphy and healthβ€”"

……

"General Zhenguo" Yang Zaixing was quite touched after a long talk with Zhao Gou in Lin'an. In his early years, he also understood the emperor's helplessness and helplessness, it was impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to have the strength and perseverance to unify China, and it was the fate of Zhao and Song to favor the south of the Yangtze River.

His two young sons were executed by the imperial court, and Yang Zaixing was completely desperate. Emperor Gaozong kept him from killing, and gave him a promotion and reward, which has his own cleverness. In any case, the Yang family can't fall this banner, and once it falls, the Zhao and Song dynasties will have to play with it......

Since Chiyou, the Miao people have their own language and writing, and the Miao King once wanted to compile the Miao text into a book during the Three Miao Kingdoms, so that the Miao people could write and speak, but unfortunately this idea was aborted before it could be tried.

Miao is the language of the Miao people, belonging to the Miao branch of the Miao Yao language family, which is a branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family, distributed in Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places in China, as well as Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, the United States and other countries.

The Miao language can be divided into three major dialects: Xiangxi (1 million people), Qiandong (2.1 million people), and Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan (more than 3 million people), and these three dialects together with Bunu and other languages form the Miao branch. Most of the Miao people are fluent in Chinese, and in some areas, they also speak Buyi or Yi.

When Yang Zaixing fought against the Southern Song Dynasty court several times, he also used Miao script to transmit information, and many soldiers read too little to say that they couldn't write, and this intangible cultural heritage could not be lost. Yang Zaixing and Zhuge Twilight discussed this matter for half a year, and finally decided to use education to save the endangered Miao Wen.

The Miao script of Chengbuzhai on Hunan Road is not pinyin, but has the same origin as Chinese characters, and is written in a similar way to the script of the Jin Kingdom, but it is thousands of years earlier than the Jurchen script. The Miao characters are basically similar to Chinese characters, and there is no punctuation between the characters, which are mixed with some patterns or symbols, which seem to be paintings but not paintings, and like seals but not seals.

Once the Miao people revolted or major sacrificial activities, they were all written in Miao script and recorded in the book, and those who were not of high moral standing of the tribe, such as patriarchs and elders, could not identify and interpret them. Now some of the patterns and patterns embroidered on the clothes of the Miao women and the carvings on the wood of the Miao carpenter are the remains of the ancient Miao script.

Yang Zaixing is the king of Miao, naturally knows and writes Miao Wen, his right-hand men Yang Zhengxiu and Yang Zhenggong were killed, and the responsibility of promoting Miao Wen fell to Yang Limei and Yang Zhengjie.

The invincible young master is also nearly fifty years old, he is a Taoist priest, has a deep cultural foundation, and his body is not very tough, so he can only write textbooks. Dong Pufei assisted in the sorting and compilation of the textbooks, and Yang Zaixing, the king of Miao, and Wang Tianru, the high priest, were responsible for the final review of the textbooks.

After a year of hard work, the "Miao Dictionary" was finally out of draft, Yang Zaixing was very happy, ordered batch printing, high priest Wang Tianru said happily: "The dictionary is complete, but there is very little order, how to promote the Miao language?" ”

Yang Zaixing stroked his long beard and said: "It is in the sky to succeed, and it is up to people to make things." The general can fund the construction of a academy, and each village will build its own private school, and the funds will be fully allocated by the Internal Affairs Department. ”

Wang Tianru said: "There are not enough people, how can the teachers be organized?" ”

Yang Zaixing said: "You should be a professor, Limei and Zhengjie are teaching assistants, and after the academy is completed, you can start teaching." Each village selects two smart and excellent people, and they will teach face-to-face for one year in the academy, and then return to the private school to teach Tongmeng face-to-face. ”

Wang Tianru said: "King, I'm afraid my body is not up to the taskβ€”β€”"

Yang Zaixing patted Wang Tianru on the shoulder and said, "Don't shirk it, you are in the prime of life, and the professor is none other than you, so it's decided." ”

With the efforts of King Miao, Miao Wen gradually spread, and for a time bilingual teaching in Chengbu Village became popular, Miao literacy achieved good results, and the Miao family's folk songs also flourished.

Miao people like to sing mountain songs and express their hearts with mountain songs. Mountain songs are like a sweet stream, nourishing their lives and accompanying them day and night, and have gradually become an indispensable cultural and traditional custom in the farming, life and festivals of the Miao people.

High Priest Wang Tianru is a desperate San Lang at work, unfortunately he is seriously ill and has a serious loss of voice, so he has to concentrate on sorting out Miao cultural classics, in recognition of his outstanding contributions, Miao Wen awarded him a "Lifetime Achievement Award", and a mansion.

The elderly Yang Zaixing often rode a horse to fish in the rivers around Dayangtong, Xiaoyangtong, and Daniudong, and returned with a full load every time. After a long time, the local Miao people know this big hero who has been a headache for the imperial court for more than 20 years.

One day, several Miao youths rowed a bamboo raft and warmly invited Miao Wang and Professor Wang Tianru to set off from the mouth of the two rivers and head north along the waterway.

The ancient vines on both sides of the river, the forest is vigorous, the boat travels, the blue waves are reflected, the water and the sky are the same color, the fish leaps and the eagle soars, the fishing song answers each other, it seems to be in the gallery of a thousand turns, and the fun is endless. Bamboo rafts swing leisurely on the surface of the lake, and the green hills on both sides of the river float suddenly.

See! In the distance is a small island, and two chic stilted buildings stand out, even though they are surrounded by thick shade. As the raft continued to move, the island moved away from sight and gradually turned into a small black dot until it disappeared completely.

Yang Zaixing looked up at the sky, and from time to time flew over flocks of milky white birds, they spread their wings and sang songs, ** at ease, bringing vitality to this somewhat lonely autumn river.

He looked down at the water, huh! Green trees and red flowers, there is a sun in the sky, there is also a sun in the water, and another Miao King and the high priest of the king are reflected on the surface of the river.

Rounded a mountain, and then a bend. There's a fire jumping ahead, it can't be a fire in the mountains, right? The young people approached to take a closer look, and it turned out to be a patch of maple forests, swaying in the autumn wind, graceful and colorful. The red maple leaves kept falling down, scattered on the surface of the lake, drifting towards the bamboo raft, and falling on the palm of King Miao......

There are waterfalls everywhere on the cliffs along the way, like a picture of white Lian hanging from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. The waterfall cascades down and falls in the mountain stream, splashing water splashes one after another, which is wonderful.

If the poet immortal Li Bai is reincarnated, he will be poetic, and casually chant the poem "Flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days", and praised it: "Strong, beautiful!"
