Chapter 70 of the fourth "Festival in the Wind" is a crisis
has been quietly listening to King Rui's slow narration of those past events, until he talked about the lost section, he couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that the commendation incident that made a lot of noise and heard all over the world came like this, this wind festival is a character, this move is the first to start, it is really unexpected." ”
Soon after the loss of food on the Fengjin Festival that day, all parts of the country began to circulate the whole story of the loss of food at the same time. In the teahouse, in the restaurant, and in the market, people talk about this as the biggest novelty, and even more of that good thing, they have made up the lyrics and arranged the playbook, and they have performed it as a legend.
And the stories in these romances are far more wonderful than the real stories, how the refugees cried and howled, bowed down in front of General Feng's convoy, how General Feng grieved inexplicably, wept for the suffering of the people, and finally gave food for righteousness. How did the soldiers persuade them repeatedly, knowing the benefits and disadvantages, and how General Feng was awe-inspiring and righteous, and would rather give up his life to take responsibility and save the people.
That one scene after another, what chivalrous and courageous, what loyalty and righteousness, all performed to the extreme.
The listeners and viewers all looked up to the sky and sighed, applauded, and expressed their supreme respect and sincere touching for this kind of moral perfection.
In the eyes of the people, good officials are nothing more than unjust sentences in prison in ordinary times and opening warehouses to release grain in times of disaster. Therefore, the most common thing that the Qing officials and good officials who have been passed down by word of mouth for generations is to open the court every day to try cases and put food everywhere if they have nothing to do.
And in the hearts of the people, a good military general is naturally a hero who can defend his family and defend the country and often beat the enemy to the ground.
The heroic record of abandoning his family to save the country and defeating Chen Jun repeatedly in the wind festival has long been sung by the world, coupled with this act of giving food, the more and more mysterious it is spread among the people, the deeper the people's recognition of him, the more joyful and admiring, he is regarded as a hero of salvation, and a Buddha of ten thousand families.
At this time, three large grain merchants in the country suddenly organized a volunteer grain team, unfurled big pennants and high signboards, and claimed that they were willing to devote their families to make up for the general's lost grain and taste the general's crimes.
Then there were many other big businessmen in various places, although they were not in the grain business, and they also paid for grain. Everyone said that General Feng was also a leader among businessmen back then, but he went to the country with his family. Now that he is guarding the border and swearing to defend the country, he still has to throw away his life and bear the mortal sin for the life and death of the people. They are both businessmen, although they can't do such things as General Feng, but they should also do their best to be worthy of their conscience.
These people are all the old people who were promoted and reused by the Wind Festival, and now they have become a big man, each has a piece of world, and they have a letter for help from the Wind Festival, how can they not try their best to help.
They raised their arms and shouted, and the other merchants could not sit still. First, this story is indeed quite touching, the two, the heroic legend of the Wind Festival is indeed desirable, third, as businessmen, what the Wind Festival did, they are indeed honored, and fourth, those businessmen who advocate volunteering to help the border military rations are all big businessmen, big businessmen, and other businessmen are inextricably linked business partnerships, at this time, how to give some face to respond. Fifth, at this time, it is a very face-saving thing to contribute money and efforts, and it is also a big capital to go to the national crisis, and it is also a big capital, and in the future, when you interact with the government, you don't have to feel a little humble because of being a businessman.
As a result, there were many large and small businesses across the country, and there were grain transportation teams organized by the people spontaneously in various places.
Even among the ordinary people, there are those who are moved by this, and there are also those who are really worried about the Feng Jinjie, although they can't do it, they still carry the meager food at home to donate.
From the beginning, this matter was deliberately moved by Feng Jinjie. But later, the enthusiasm in the hearts of the people was mobilized, and there were people who liked speculation and had the intention of taking advantage of this incident to make capital, and this matter became more and more troublesome.
Everywhere people sang about this extremely wonderful and touching food scene that had been changed to a mess, and people everywhere praised him and respected him and said that he was good. There are also many literati who have written a bunch of poems and essays to express their admiration for this matter.
There are also faint rumors among the people, saying that if Feng Jinjie is severely punished for this matter, there will be an incident of 10,000 people writing to intercede.
In fact, the crime of losing food in the Fengjin Festival is not big or small, if there is no one who is interested in making trouble, basically all rewards and punishments can be directly decided by the marshal, and there is no need to even reach the heavens.
At this time, the men and horses of the Nine Kings had not had time to hand over the impeachment chapter to King Zhao, and they had bought it, and the imperial history, who was responsible for hearing the wind and rumors, had not yet had time to write the article attacking Feng Jinjie.
The whole country, the people, Shilin, and the business community have already praised the wind festival, and the righteous act of sending grain from all over the country has been reported to Beijing by the local government.
At this point, no stupid Yushi dares to make a head bird.
However, there was a clever official who hurriedly told King Zhao about all the matters discussed by the people as good news.
The Manchu Dynasty is called a saint and a sage, and there are generals who cherish the people so much, and even the merchants and untouchables are also touched by the benevolence of our king, and they are dedicated to contributing to the country.
King Zhao also felt that this was a great thing, this kind of spontaneous righteous act of the people, and the automatic dedication of the merchants, was the most able to embellish the peaceful and prosperous world and set off his ability to govern the world. This matter is recorded in the history books, and it is also a beautiful story.
At this time, he received a petition jointly written by Lu Dongli and Feng Jinjie, Feng Jinjie claimed that he should die if he lost food, and Lu Dongli also said that he was in charge of it
Sin is unforgivable.
At this time, King Zhao was in a good mood, where would he blame, and directly issued a holy decree to comfort the two, and also rewarded Feng Jinjie heavily, sent a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry, not to mention, and gave him a third-level promotion in vain, and he was directly promoted to the third grade.
In terms of the merchant background of Feng Jinjie, the ability to do so much is simply unprecedented in Zhao State.
And with the holy decree, the nature of this matter has been decided, even if the people who are engaged in private actions have thought of more crimes in advance, they can't say a word more, and even if there is anything in the future, they can't bring up the old things again, otherwise what they deny is not Feng Jinjie, but King Zhao.
And the new prefect of Zhenjiang saw the news that Feng Jinjie was rewarded and promoted rapidly in the newspaper, and he was so angry that he fell ill on the couch and did not come out for half a month.
And Zhenjiang Mansion, it is strictly forbidden for the theater to stage "The Story of Food", and artists are not allowed to tell stories and sing this story of the world that the people love to hear.
At this time, King Rui heard Lu Ze's slight admiration, and just smiled coldly: "No matter how shrewd and capable you are, what can you do?" His eyes looked indifferently at the lively stage outside the window, the joy outside the window, and the cold slaughter in his eyes, as if the world was unrelated, between this window, there was a gap between life and death.
"He is very skilled, he is both civil and military, he has insight into human nature, but all of this can't save him." Rui Wang's tone gradually became cold, "No matter how much he does, at the beginning, maybe everyone sighed at their skills, admired his deeds, and appreciated their merits, but any earth-shattering things, doing too much, gradually the world seems, it is only as usual." Feng Jinjie can gain insight into human nature, but he still can't open it, and later ......"
He shook his head, looking at himself regretful or sighing, ridiculing or mocking.
Lu Zewei was silent, yes, it has been two years since the loss of food back then. In the past two years, Chen Guo organized several attacks, but each time he was firmly blocked from Dingyuan Pass and could not enter the pass.
For a long time, all threats were blocked at the Dingyuan Pass, whether it was the imperial court or the people, they had never been threatened, they had never felt pain, and gradually, the big war and the big worries of the year seemed to be normal now.
Many people unconsciously have a delusion that the Chen army is very useless, no matter how the Chen army is, it will not be able to break through the Dingyuan Pass, and there is no need to worry about the war, no matter how anxious it is.
And the exploits of Feng Jinjie and Lu Dongli are gradually no longer important.
It is always easy for people in the world to forget the kindness of others and the lessons of the past.
And such a shrewd and capable Feng Jinjie, in the past few years, has never found a way to let Zhao Guo really learn a little lesson, taste a little bitterness, so that the king and the people have a real crisis and pain, and then they will really understand how important a general like them is to the country.
However, after so many years, so many wars, so many opportunities to take advantage of, and so many excuses to bargain with the imperial court, it is still useless once after all.
I don't know if I really didn't think about it, or if I thought about it, but I still couldn't do it.
No matter how insight into human nature is, but you can't let go of yourself, what can be the final outcome?
When the king no longer values them, when the court no longer cares about their military exploits, and when the people no longer say that we can live comfortably thanks to General Lu Dashuai and General Feng, those who have endured the grudges for many years, those villains who have been waiting in the shadows for a long time, finally have the opportunity to attack.
King Rui stood with his hands in his hands, and his voice was low and indifferent: "After being framed and attacked, Feng Jinjie can immediately strike first, causing the facts to be determined, and cutting off the possibility of others to increase his crimes, although it is powerful, but he forgot, he wants to add to the crime, what is the trouble, he created such a big momentum back then, in the eyes of his father, it is a great joy, but now that the times have changed, there are people who carelessly say a few more words, a general who holds military power, can win the hearts of the people so much, and he can make the monarch secretly lead to a great trouble, and all other ......"
Originally, he just said it plainly, but his tone was inexplicable, and he raised his hand sharply and punched hard at the window railing.
Lu Zewei sighed softly, and said lightly: "Lord Wang, in fact, when it comes to the Wind Festival, it is just affected by Lu Dongli, if the prince can ...... it"
"There is no need to say any more, the eldest husband should be decided, how can he leave hidden dangers, and besides...... "King Rui's face is cold, and his eyes are looking into the distance" Soon, the envoy will be able to reach Dingyuan Pass. At this time, it is too late to do anything, and there is no need to do it at all. ”
Lu Ze was silent, only his eyes lingered on King Rui's fist that hit the window railing, should the eldest husband be broken......
