Chapter 433: Is It Fragrant?
What kind of people are the most hateful?
The answer to this question is definitely a thousand kinds of things. But traitors, for sure, will be able to rank in the top three. There was a Song traitor among the party members, which was an absolutely emotionally difficult fact for all Song people to accept.
is not only the national feelings, but also the reason is that the Great Song Dynasty is now the most prosperous and civilized dynasty, and the party? That's the same thing, the turtle can't do it.
This is like the scum of the world hegemon, someone has betrayed the interests of the country, and the object of the betrayal is still the indigenous people of Africa, and such a result is difficult for individuals to accept.
"Song traitor?"
"Sir, kill him!"
"Kill him!"
After a brief period of consternation, the mood of the forbidden army was suddenly stirred. The dignified people of the Great Song Dynasty didn't do it, they had to go to the party to make dog legs, and they shaved their ugly heads, and they forgot their ancestors. On the contrary, Ren Duoyan was dumbfounded, he didn't seem to have to speak, and the Great Song people didn't seem to have the intention of letting that guy live, but because of his own impulsiveness, he exposed his identity.
Wei Zuo, who called himself a Song person, would also be unlucky.
It's a bit redundant to shout in my own voice.
The soldiers were excited and angry, because they came from the capital, the most arrogant people in the world, and after joining the army, they were even more pro-army of the Son of Heaven, which gave them a strong sense of belonging to the Great Song Dynasty. Seeing the Song people who betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, the hatred in his heart was difficult to calm. This is even more painful than the hostility towards the party.
When everyone poured their anger on Wei Zuo, who betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, Li Kui stared at Ren Duoyan, and the light in his eyes made Ren Duoyan afraid.
Sure enough, Li Kui gave up Wei Zuo, and instead stared at Ren Duoyan, and said slowly: "Do you know how to speak?" ”
"I ......"
Can Nitohiko say no? He asked to kill the Song man Wei Zuo in a hurry just now, and what he opened his mouth was the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty. The official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty.
The Western Xia had its own script, and it was Li Yuanhao who established the Western Xia and ordered Yeli Renrong to spend three years imitating the Western Xia script created by the Hanzi.
It is a pity that the Tangut script has been congenitally deficient since the moment it appeared.
For the northern aristocracy of this era, Chinese characters were certainly the easiest characters to learn, and it was not easy to learn. But the Tangut script was more difficult than the Chinese characters, and of course, this is not to show that the wisdom of the Dangxiang people is equal to or even superior to that of the Han Chinese. Rather, it exposes the paleness of the party members in the creation of words. The writing of the Western Xia is like a dismantled Chinese character, several characters form a character, and then use the most bizarre pronunciation to create it.
For the nobles who learned the Tangut script, such a script was simply a nightmare-level script.
Of course, the Tangut script is not the most difficult to learn, the most difficult is the Khitan script. In line with the emergence of the Tangut script, the Khitan script is also based on Chinese characters, combining several Chinese characters into a man, for example: the four Chinese characters of 'Fortune and Treasure' are composed of one character, and the Khitan script is usually not less than 30 strokes, and 50 strokes is not a lot, which is simply hellish difficulty for scholars.
Therefore, whether it is Western Xia or Khitan, the nobles need to learn their own script, and they can only start by learning Chinese characters. As long as the educated Western Xia and Khitan nobles could speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty.
And when they learned Chinese characters, they were full of disgust for their own writing - what idiot created such a two-handed script, tired to death.
Like most of the Tangut nobles, he received an elite education for the nobility, and of course, after learning Chinese characters, he decisively gave up the Tangut script that belonged to his country.
In the Tangut Dynasty, only the monks and historians of their own country were too bored to expend their energy to learn the Tangut script.
In the face of Li Kui's questioning, Ren Duoyan opened his mouth and did not deny it, which was tantamount to acquiescing to the fact that he could speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty. But knowing the official language of the Great Song Dynasty does not mean that Ren Duoyan is willing to be a traitor to the party and tell the Song people the secrets of Western Xia.
If only Wei Zuo knew the official language of the Song Dynasty, as a smart person, he naturally didn't worry about his safety.
But when Li Kui saw that Ren Duoyan could also speak the official language of the Song Dynasty, Wei Zuo was anxious. knelt on the ground, eager to show his worth: "My lord, the official language of the Tangut people is not good. ”
How can there be a good or bad reason for official words?
His opening made Li Kui clearer, stared at Wei Zuo and said: "You are a scholar, you have read the books of sages, but you don't know what is the shame of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country?" As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, but he took refuge in the party and thieves, disgraced his ancestors, where is filial piety? took refuge in the master, but did not know how to maintain the master's integrity, where is the loyalty? ”
Faced with Li Kui's series of questions, Wei Zuo was nervous and didn't know how to refute.
Because what Li Kui said was correct, perhaps Wei Zuo was just captured by the Tanguts at the beginning, and had to make compromises. But since he took refuge in the Tanguts, he has never had a chance to turn back.
"My lord, the villain is the people who have been plundered by the party?"
Wezo could only deny his identity as a scholar.
On the contrary, Li Kui smiled, he didn't understand the Western Xia people, but it was rare to understand talents. The culture of the Tangut people was rooted in Han culture, especially after the Song people Zhang Yuan, and the Xixia generally had a good feeling for the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty.
But Da Song gritted his teeth with hatred for the scholars who betrayed the country.
If Wei Zuo was not a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he be left by the nobles of Western Xia?
If Wei Zor was not a scholar, he could only become a slave, or even not live at all, and he would have been taken captive to Western Xia and killed. After all, the party is a grassland person in their bones, and the law of the grassland is deeply ingrained in their hearts. Women and children are their wealth, and men, especially adult men, are not wealth but trouble for the Tangut people.
Therefore, to survive the raids of the Western Xia and live a good life can only be a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, Great Song craftsmen may also be given preferential treatment. But it was absolutely impossible for a craftsman to be taken by the nobility.
But not every scholar in the Great Song Dynasty is Zhang Yuan, and there are countless people with strong personalities, and they look down on party members in their bones. Not to mention defecting to the party. As a result, the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty learned how to be fragrant and sweet in Western Xia.
Li Kui does things without thinking about the consequences at all. It's like stirring up the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, is it dangerous? He's a civil official from the seventh grade, isn't he still involved in a group of kilometers to make trouble?
Li Kui's attitude has already decided Wei Zuo's fate, and he can only be a dead end. Lu Qian, who wanted to befriend Li Kui, saw that the opportunity had come, so Mao recommended himself: "My lord, this thief wants to kill like this?" ”
Li Kui raised his head and glanced at the flattering Lu Qian, and muttered, "Bury it, right?" ”
Lu Qian hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Buried alive?" He couldn't help but say in his heart, this scholar is too cruel to the reader, right?
"That's right, it's buried alive." Any outrageous means against Song traitors are not excessive, and Li Kui does not feel cruel to be buried alive. Immediately waved his hand to Lu Qian and said, "Bury it farther away, don't affect the master to eat meat." ”
After a fight just now, Li Kui's stomach was already empty, and he sat hungrily by the bonfire prepared by the party members, swallowing saliva at the squeaky roast sheep.
Wei Zuo said that he couldn't imagine that Li Kui had not even asked his name from beginning to end, and he was going to be executed without even a decent interrogation. In order to survive, if you sacrifice your dignity once, you can have a second time. But when no one gave him a second chance, Wei Zuo suddenly became angry and couldn't contain it: "I am a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty, you thieves are equipped with an army, and you are not qualified to execute me!" ”
"Reader?" If Wei Zuo didn't say that he was a scholar, maybe he would have died a little more peacefully, at least although Gao Yu despised this product, he didn't have the intention of falling into the well. After all, the person Li Kui wants to kill, one of them is counted as one, and he can't stop it. But speaking of readers, how could Gao Yu, who was once a member of the readers, be willing to let the three words of readers be tarnished by Wei Zuo, a bastard? said angrily: "You are a scholar, as if you are the only one in the world, who is not a reader?" ”
In the face of Gao Yu's angry reprimand, Wei Zuo was stupid, but then laughed madly: "Haha, hahaha, you are a scholar, you are also worthy?" ”
"In the first year of Shaosheng, shouldn't he be a scholar?"
Gao Yu once dreamed of being a civil official, but unfortunately the reality was too cruel, so he had to give up the idea of the imperial examination.
After Gao Yu revealed his identity, Li Yun sneered: "Don't look at me, I also participated in the provincial examination of Shaosheng Jiaxuke, but unfortunately I fell off the list." ”
Those who can participate in the provincial examination are not Jinshi, but among the scholars, they are not ordinary existences. It's already an outstanding talent.
After the imperial examination, after eliminating most of the scholars, only the most elite handful of scholars were left, who were entrusted with important tasks by the imperial court.
Wei Zuo claimed to be a scholar, but he didn't even have the qualifications for the provincial exam, and he was already inferior in front of Gao Yu and Li Yun. And the blow to him was far more than that, Li Yun pulled Li Kui out: "This is the first Jinshi and the third place in the Jiaxu Branch, Tanhualang Li Kui." Do you look down on him too? ”
"How is that possible? Impossible, you lied to me, you lied to me? ”
Wezo exclaimed, his proud identity struck by reality. Especially a good person like Li Kui is still a Jinshi, how can he accept this?
And Li Kui's identity is not a secret among all the Song Army, this thing is a death, but the identity of the Jinshi is real, and it is still the rarest Jinshi and the first among the Jinshi, there are three people in each subject.
For a pedantic nerd who doesn't have much talent, and a cheap bone who has no backbone, it's strange that Li Kui can have a good face, and said to Lu Qian: "When you bury him, cut him twice on the head, and die slowly." ”
These words frightened Lu Qian, it seems that Li Kui is very experienced!
Lu Qian hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Li Zhimi." ”
Like Ruan Xiaoer, Lu Qian is Gao Yu's domestic servant, and he is not a forbidden army at all. He usually calls Li Kui, and prefers to call Li Kui's most prominent official position to show respect. It's a pity that Li Kui's most shining official position is the direct secret pavilion from the seventh grade.
A straightforward secret old man suddenly made Ren Duoyan's eyes light up.
Since Zhang Yuan got off to a bad start, although there were many Great Song scholars who defected to Western Xia, there were few who were really talented, and most of them were straw bales that cheated on food and drink. Although Zhang Yuan was the one who failed the list, he participated in the palace examination four times, and each time he almost won the Jinshi. Angry, his brain went up like a pot.
In the first battle of Haoshuichuan, Zhang Yuan assisted Li Yuanhao to defeat the Song army, establishing his position in Western Xia. And Zhang Yuan was also the first minister after the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty, and his status was transcendent.
Although Zhang Yuan has no fame, he is at least an elite scholar who can pass the provincial examination.
How can others compare to Zhang Yuan?
Therefore, the Western Xia nobles had an almost crazy worship for the Great Song scholars, and at the same time, the Western Xia nobles knew far more about the Great Song Dynasty civil officials than about the military generals. The official position of the Straight Secret Pavilion is not a common official position, but after hearing Lu Qian call Li Kui the Straight Secret Master, Ren Duoyan immediately exclaimed: "You are the Straight Secret Pavilion? The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
If Li Kui was a military general, Ren Duoyan would definitely not say anything about the Great Song Dynasty, such a shocking momentum.
But the direct secretary cabinet can only be given to civil officials, and it is also an important official who has both talent and learning, and is subordinate to the secretary province, and cannot be held by a person who is not full of learning.
Li Kui just cut off a piece of mutton, as if he was burned by Ren Duoyan's hot gaze, he was startled, and said in his heart: What expression?
In the distance, Wezo's screams became weaker and weaker, and he clearly realized that Nitohiko was not his own.
However, Ren Duoyan was the most valuable captive in Li Kui's hands, and Li Kui gave him a rare preferential treatment, nodded and said: "It's just a post, you also know my Great Song Dynasty official system?" ”
"Hou Xueren Duoyan, I have seen Brother Li."
Although Ren Duoyan said that he was tied like a zongzi, he shouted like a star-chasing fan: "After the younger brother entered the school, he continued to write and cultivate occasionally, and the good sentences were carried with him, and he also asked Brother Li to correct the axe." ”
Li Kui looked at being tied to the back of a horse, and he still had an enthusiastic attitude towards learning, and he couldn't help but have a big head.
Obviously refusing to show that he was empty, and he couldn't say nothing, he said to Gao Yu: "Send the captured and captured horses to Gonggong Hao, and tell him that Jin Mingzhai has fallen into a heavy siege, as for Fu Shi?" If Fu Shi is not close to the party army, then beware of the party people besieging Jin Mingzhai, but in fact, they want to sneak attack the Fu Shi reinforcements, so that he can decide to stay for himself. ”
"In case, if Fu Shi is besieged, let Lu Longtu beware of the party members who want to force the Jinmingzhai guards to relieve the siege, so as to loot a large amount of materials in Jinmingzhai. Find a way to tell the Jin Mingzhai guards that once he wants to break through, burn the supplies. ”
There may have been worries about Li Kui's identity before, but Li Kui only said the combat intentions of the party members in just a few words. This made Nitohiko's mouth grow in surprise and couldn't believe it. Li Kui didn't even ask him, how did he know?
Only then did Nitohiko feel the horror of reading people, and he could do anything.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess these, the party people have already appeared in Jinmingzhai, for the Xixia people, in addition to the mountains of materials in Jinmingzhai, as well as the materials of the skin, they can't think of any other offensive targets. And Jinmingzhai is the gateway of skin Shi, and the skin is the trend of each other's corners, one loss and one glory.
This is also why Li Kui doesn't care about the life or death of Wei Zuo, a Song traitor, because no matter how much Wei Zuo is valued by the party and aristocratic masters, it is impossible to steal all the most important tactical information on the front line.
This guy is dispensable in Li Kui's hands, since it is useless, it is also a burden to keep it.
On the contrary, Ren Duoyan's status is noble, and he can also be used as a bargaining chip for negotiations at critical times.
Ren Duoyan was ruthlessly ignored by Li Kui, but he still wanted Li Kui to see his articles and poems: "Brother Li, the younger brother's article is in the red horse's backpack, you must read it!" ”
