Chapter 260 Bole from a past life
When heavy snow falls, it doesn't favor any inch of land.
The snow was heavy the day before yesterday, so until tonight, there was still nearly a foot of snow in some uncleaned alleys in Yunzhou City.
Snowflakes falling on pine trees are a sight, falling on cornices is beautiful, and those who admire them will sing about them, but snowflakes falling on narrow dirt alleys will only create a muddy landscape, and those who slip and fall will spit foul language. When they spit on "damn it", you don't know if they are angry with the old weather road or themselves, just like the literati who praise the snowy scene, and you don't know if they are praising the beauty of heaven or their noble sentiments.
Zhou Ying walked carefully on the slippery and muddy roads of the alley.
As a scholar, even if he is a down-and-out scholar, his demeanor must always be maintained, and it doesn't look good when he falls into the mud. He had walked cautiously enough, but still lay in the mud. It's not that he is unsteady on his feet, but that a woman passing by him pulled him when he fell, and in the end both of them failed to stabilize and fell together and ate.
The woman scolded the street in annoyance.
Zhou Ying was different from them after all, although he fell very painfully and his clothes were dirty, he was not angry. This is not because he has suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins, and he can already ignore this dirty and unsmooth, in fact, the more he suffers and offends, the worse his temper will become, and he will not be free and detached. Zhou Ying can not care about these because he is in a good mood today and has great hopes for life, so he has become very open-minded.
Helping the chattering woman up, Zhou Ying smiled and sent her back to the house.
It was already night, and there were few pedestrians in or out of the alley, and sending a beautiful woman home at such a time would make one doubt his intentions, and it was not necessary to look at it in any way. What's more, Zhou Ying also helped the woman open the door and stepped into the threshold with her.
Of course, Zhou Ying is not kind to the point of pedantic.
There was also a scholar in his thirties and forties in the room, who described the vicissitudes of life as almost withered, and his face full of stubble had not been trimmed, and he sat behind the old case, glanced at Zhou Ying and the woman who entered the door, and saw that they were all covered in mud, first surprised, and then laughed:
"You two can still roll in the mud together in the middle of the night, I didn't know that your relationship was so good, could it be that you two have some ulterior secrets behind my back?"
The woman took a sip and went to the inner room to change her clothes, Zhou Ying put the two jars of wine in his hand on the small case under the other party's ridiculous gaze, and sat down himself: "Good Jiannan Shochu." ”
Huang Yuandai's eyes lit up, he didn't care about the mud on the wine jar, hugged a jar and patted the mud, closed his eyes and sniffed for a long time, his face was full of intoxication: "Good wine, really good wine!"
Heran laughed twice, he continued: "My wife didn't buy the wine, and I turned back with you halfway, I thought that tonight was a long night and I could only get through it, but I didn't expect to be able to get this wine, and the life experience is really coincidental and wonderful." ”
After speaking, he looked Zhou Ying up and down with a suspicious gaze:
"I heard that you fell into the river today, should you have committed suicide by throwing yourself into the river? However, if I knew that I could get such a good wine by jumping into the river once, I would still drink the sour yellow soup of the old Zhou family in the street, and I would go to jump into the river every day. ”
Seeing that he spoke lightly and was busy hugging the altar and drinking, it seemed that even if Zhou Ying drowned today, he would not have any grief. Zhou Ying naturally felt this, "How do I feel that if I really die, you will still sing songs?"
He spit out a long mouthful of mixed wine, and Huang Yuandai, who was satisfied, shook his head and said:
"That's nature, you are out of this worldly suffering, how can I not sing for you? I should jump on your grave for three days to celebrate your reincarnation. Just like Zhuangzi did with his dead wife.
Although we are not husband and wife, we can be regarded as brothers, and I am still willing to do this for you. ”
Zhou Ying arched his hand helplessly: "Brother Huang is so affectionate, Zhou thanked him first." ”
Huang Yuandai drank half of the small wine jar in one go, his face was flushed, and he almost died on the spot before he could catch his breath, he finally took a breath, he beat his chest and said indifferently: "If I didn't have a lady to accompany me, I would have ended this life of eight lifetimes of blood mold a long time ago, where would I wait until today." ”
Speaking of this, he put down the wine jar and glanced at Zhou Ying, "Say, come to the door late at night, and bring fine wine, what do you want me to do for you?"
Zhou Ying didn't hide it, "Brother Huang's writing is brilliant, Zhou admires it the most, but this time I still want you to help me write a 'Discussion of Fang Yuan'." ”
Huang Yuandai touched the stubble on his face and said strangely:
"I wrote for you once before, but I was broken by someone from the Fang family afterwards, and now I am still lame when I walk, otherwise I wouldn't let Madame go to buy wine at night - I'm not worried that the other leg will also be broken, as long as the third leg is still there, it can be used by Madame."
"The question is what is the use of writing, the public opinion of this Yunzhou City is controlled by the Fang family, and the assassin is just an echo worm of his family, and our text can't spread at all. ”
Huang Yuandai's wife had just changed her clothes and was about to come out of the room, but when she heard his words, her feet immediately retracted, she blushed and spat, and scolded the old and immodest stinky rascal, so she didn't plan to show up again.
Speaking of the leg that was broken by the Fang family, Huang Yuandai still looked like he didn't care about anything, but Zhou Ying felt guilty, and could hardly raise his head in front of the other party, so he said solemnly: "This time we have noble people to help, and the certainty of success is not small......
To deal with the Fang family, Zhao Ning himself has his own needs, and he is not entirely helping Zhou Ying, so the two sides can be regarded as an equal cooperative relationship.
"Noble?" Huang Yuandai interrupted Zhou Ying's words, "How expensive?"
"The most expensive under the imperial family. ”
Huang Yuandai was slightly stunned, and a smile quickly appeared on his face, "I didn't expect you to jump into the river and get acquainted with the people of the Zhao family in Jinyang, I knew that I would rush to the water before you today." ”
He didn't ask a word more, and agreed to write the essay. Zhou Ying breathed a sigh of relief, slapped open the second jar of wine, and took a sip with Huang Yuandai.
With Zhao Ning's help, it is not difficult to bring down the Fang family, it is rare to put this matter on the commanding heights of morality, and reap the effect of making all the people applaud, so that he is not only revenge, but also got rid of the bullies and tumors of one side, and can have the effect of punishing evil, promoting good, and promoting righteousness.
Because of the joint efforts of the government over the years to control public opinion and grasp the power to define right and wrong, although the Fang family has done many evil things, and the powerful road is full of bloody corpses, it has always been well covered, and those who sue the Fang family for wanting to shake out the other party's various crimes like Zhou Ying before have the same results as Zhou Ying.
So until now, the Fang family's reputation in Yunzhou is good, and many people still worship their process of changing from weak to strong, and praise their struggle in different ways.
The Tsing Yi swordsman in Yipinlou, the big and small stewards of the Fang family who tortured to extract confessions, and mastered all kinds of criminal evidence of the other party, is only the basis for crushing the reputation of the Fang family.
The two armies are fighting, and an excellent essay can top 100,000 elite soldiers, which is definitely not just talking.
If Huang Yuandai wants to write a powerful piece of writing, it is necessary to look at the things explained by the Fang family's big and small stewards. After Zhou Ying finished taking a sip with him, he pulled the other party out of the door, and met the Tsing Yi swordsman at the mouth of the alley, and the other party quickly took him out of the city and came to the building where Zhao Ning was.
Just finished a game of left-handed and left-handed games, and listened to Hu Hong
Zhao Ning, who was practicing the report, saw Huang Yuandai, who was following Zhou Ying and limping into the door, his eyes were slightly strange.
After the two sides finished saluting, Huang Yuandai didn't mean to sit down, and the first sentence was to ask for wine with a smile, and emphasized that it must be good wine. Zhou Ying was a little uneasy, and hurriedly explained to Zhao Ning, saying that although Huang Yuandai looked very sloppy and drunk like his life, he basically did not work very firmly when he was drunk.
Zhao Ning didn't care, and waved his hand to send two jars of wine.
The happy Huang Yuandai intercepted him halfway, hugged them all in his arms, bit off the mud and poured a big mouthful of it as if no one was around, and was full of praise, and proposed to go to the place where the Fang family was in charge of the torture immediately, and asked Zhao Ning to ask someone to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for him.
From entering the door to leaving the room, although Huang Yuandai had a brief greeting with Zhao Ning, he had no intention of respecting Zhao Ning from beginning to end, even if he knew Zhao Ning's identity and past achievements.
Although his behavior is a little different from ordinary people, he does not have unruly, high-minded and self-contained words and deeds, and it is more appropriate to describe it as cynical and dissolute, and it seems that he does not care much about anything except wine. When walking, he doesn't hide his lameness, and his limp is very rhythmic.
"Please don't blame Brother Ning, Brother Huang's temperament is a little weird, but he is full of economy, and he only learns ten times as much as me......" Zhou Ying was very embarrassed and explained to Zhao Ning with a blushing face. In his opinion, the heir of the Zhao family must attach great importance to etiquette and personal cultivation, and may not be used to Huang Yuandai's vulgar behavior.
Zhao Ning smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Of course he didn't care.
Because in their previous lives, they were siblings.
Zhou Ying and Huang Yuandai joined the army together, and they have been working together since then. Zhao Ning was able to become friends with Zhou Ying, who hated the powerful, in fact, because he first befriended Huang Yuandai, who was unrestrained and valued by love and righteousness.
Zhou Ying's so-called "ten times more talented than me" is of course to praise Huang Yuandai, but the latter's talent is indeed one in ten thousand, no, to be more precise, Zhao Ning has never seen the second one in his previous life.
Unlike Zhou Ying, who is good at government affairs, Huang Yuandai's talent can only be described as imaginative, he is brilliant in writing, good at debate, once in the battle of Jingzhou, when the king ran out of ammunition, he used a piece of paper to make a few speeches, and raised 500,000 stone grain and grass for the army within three days, and recruited 70,000 young people.
This man's military strategy is also extraordinary, often with unexpected troop strategies, bringing many victories to the army, and when the army is surrounded by ten times the enemy, the whole division can retreat.
In the years when Huang Yuandai showed his strength, the name of the ghost and military god was resounding for a while.
However, it is a pity that when the building is in decline and the general trend has been decided, no matter how outstanding his personal strength is, he cannot turn things around, so he can only survive, and finally become a funeral object for the fall of the dynasty.
In his previous life, Zhao Ning thought countless times that if people like Zhou Ying and Huang Yuandai could be on the side of the important positions and gain the support and trust of the emperor when the national war began, then the national war would most likely be a different face.
In fact, there is no shortage of talents in the Central Plains Dynasty at any time, and there is no shortage of top talents, the question is only whether these people can be in a high position and have the opportunity to influence the fate of the country.
At a time when the decaying edifice of the imperial dynasty is about to fall, the people who hold power are often villains who can only flatter and flatter and compete for power and profit.
Because of this, an important goal of Zhao Ning's southward trip this time is to play the role of Bole and collect these thousands of horses according to the memories of his previous life.
He wants to let them have a different fate from their previous lives, give them a starting point, so that they can give full play to their talents and methods when the national war breaks out earlier and better, and help him complete the ultimate mission of Zhenguo in the process!
