Volume 1 Mu Xuanzhou Chapter 20 Past Events (3)
"In the past, when the emperor was in the past, after Wednesday to conquer our dynasty, our dynasty was defeated in Huainan in a row, and only the eldest son of the emperor, Li Hongji, won in Runzhou and Changzhou. Since then, there have been voices of reform in the country, when many ministers of the DPRK and China wrote to change the crown prince, the first emperor could not, so the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui abdicated and renamed Li Hongji as the crown prince. Among the ministers who supported Li Hongji at that time, Zhong Mo, who belonged to the Ministry of Rites and judged Shangshu Province, was the most powerful. At that time, Tang Changshi was only Dr. Taichang, and Prince Yu Hongji said, "Now the prince wants to save the country and become strong, and he should be unique, how can there be a conspirator with the enemy chieftain?" However, Prince Hongji did not listen, and Tang Changshi retired. Later, the case of Prince Hongji's assassination of his uncle occurred, and the emperor abolished Li Hongji's crown prince, and soon Li Hongji died inexplicably. ”
After that, the emperor recruited Tang Changshi with the palace to serve the imperial history, until His Majesty ascended the throne, and Tang Changshi successively supervised the imperial history and the imperial history. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Zhang Xun was extremely favored, and gradually alienated from Tang Changshi, Tang Changshi said that Zhang Xun was 'forgetting righteousness and forgetting righteousness, repeating villains', which was why His Majesty appointed the Duke of Guogong as the Xuanzhou Assassin History, and then followed the Tang system to set up the Assassin History of the Governor of the Tang Dynasty to Tang Puze. ”
"The subordinates thought that it must be the amazing talent of the Guogong that Tang Changshi happily served. The Tang Changshi has served in two dynasties, although the official position is not obvious, many contacts are multiple ministers. It is in line with the shortcomings of the National Duke in the lack of Austrian aid in the court. ”
Li Congyi's historical knowledge is not so detailed. It was Zhong Mo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but he was evaluated as an "enemy chief", and Li Congyi didn't know why. It turned out that the Later Zhou attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, and under the successive defeats of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they sent Zhong Mo and Sun Ji as envoys; But what you can't get on the battlefield, you certainly can't get at the negotiating table. Zhong and Sun Ju were detained in Bianliang. When the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty in Jiangbei was decided, he had to accept the conditions of the Later Zhou and completely withdraw from Jiangbei. During this period, Zhong Mo and Sun Ji also tried to rebel against the Later Zhou general Huainan Jiedu to make Li Chongjin, and Sun Ji was killed after the defeat. Zhong Mo was released back to the Southern Tang Dynasty to supervise the transfer of the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Jiangbei states. Zhong Mo actively supported Li Hongji's implementation of reforms, and later Zhou Bingwei suppressed opposition, which seemed to have had a short-term effect, but actually shook the legitimacy of the reforms.
Historical stories are often emotional. The two of them were immersed in the turmoil caused by Tang Puze and the latest reform of the Southern Tang Dynasty, when they heard the sound of military songs on the playground. First, a loud male voice sounded, followed by a chorus of dozens of people; Then the chorus of the other eight platoons (which the new recruits joined every day) also sounded, and although it seemed a little chaotic, it seemed to be alive, and the sound waves seemed to be like real ocean waves, rushing in all directions in all directions.
After the soldiers finished singing three times, they didn't enjoy it, and sang it again three times, and then rushed back to their respective dormitories to sleep in the sleeping bell.
It's only been three days, and after three days of training, it has already had such momentum, and it is already different from the rabble three days ago.
Xu Shiming suddenly smiled and said, "When I watch the Lord Guogong talk about the economy, I feel that everything can be done, and even his subordinates are also arrogant. But now looking at the country's public governance and military affairs, there are always two feelings of war among subordinates. Do you know why? ”
"With a sharp weapon, the murderous intent arises?" Li Congyi hesitated.
Xu Shiming read it silently a few times, and laughed loudly: "Lord Guogong's words are true!" ”
Xu Shiming told the story of Tang Puze tonight, in fact, he mainly wanted to talk to Jiang Guogong about Prince Li Hongji. It is indispensable for Chujiang Guogong to engage in reservoirs, construction, commerce, and companies, and to open up new horizons. It is Jiang Guogong who uses the company's value-added tax and income tax to create another source of income for the local government, which is not a trivial matter for the court. However, Jiang Guogong's change of military system really touched the edge of taboo.
But Hou Hongye and Xu Shiming reacted very differently. It's just that because the two have different perceptions of the crisis, Hou Hongye clearly understands the danger of the Song Dynasty, once the Song Dynasty defeats the Southern Tang Dynasty, then the things that everyone does around Jiang Guogong are likely to die in one day, which is the wealth created by many companies, and may also marry others; Xu Shiming was worried about the conservative pressure within the Southern Tang Dynasty and worried about Jiang Guogong's military reform, which caused the vigilance and attacks of some people in the court, resulting in his death and political disappearance.
"Shiming, when the three reservoirs presided over by Zheng Deshui are completed, you take the time to go to the Guangjiao Temple in Quarry Rock with him. Fan Ruoshui went to the Song Dynasty before the monk, in the quarrying Guangjiao Temple for monks, concentrating on measuring the hydrology of the Yangtze River for many years, and then in the name of donating the stone tower of the Guangjiao Temple, he dug out a number of stone caves in the river of Niuzhu Mountain, and built a stone tower in the hole. You ask Zheng Deshui, how can you make these stone towers look unremarkable on the surface without knowing it, and when the pontoon bridge is built, can Song Jun find that these stone towers are no longer usable? If this is not possible, how can the above-mentioned stone pagoda be uprooted in the shortest time and with the least movement? ”
Xu Shiming was taken aback, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.
"Otherwise, why do you think Fan Ruoshui was appreciated by Emperor Zhao Song? Once you can soar. ”
Xu Shiming only felt that his hands and feet were cold, this Fan Ruoshui was so scheming, so ruthless, if the Yangtze River pontoon bridge could really be built, then the Song army would cross the river like walking on flat ground, advancing and retreating; Tang lost the Yangtze River and was bound to fail.
————
That night, Li Congyi and Xu Shiming returned to Xuancheng.
Xu Meilan had a high fever overnight, and the fever subsided the next day, but she lost a lot of weight overnight, and her face was even more yellow and wilted.
Xu Meilan's room furnishings have also been transformed, and at this time, Xu Meilan is lying on the newly made brown cushion bed of Daqiang Wood, with two cushions on her waist, and reclining on the curved bedside backrest.
Wang Daqiang tried to make a brown mat bed according to Li Congyi's requirements, but the big bed was easy to make, but this palm mat took a lot of thought. In ancient times, there was a brown bed, which was made of brown silk to form a brown rope, and then a brown rope was woven into a brown bed, but if the brown rope was hard, it had no elasticity; If it is soft, the bed will naturally drop towards the center. Therefore, brown beds are expensive and unpleasant.
The brown mat that Li Congyi asked for was stacked with layers of brown silk to form a brown mat. If the thickness of the brown silk is different and the weaving density is different, the brown mat will be soft and hard. Wang Daqiang organized more than a dozen apprentices, a month to try to produce more than a dozen brown mats of different specifications, and finally Li Congyi settled down the three hardness of soft/medium/hard, and asked Wang Daqiang to strictly record the materials used and the production process to ensure the differentiation of the three different hardness mats and the stability of the hardness.
In this way, Jiangguo Mansion has also become the first batch of experience users of the current palm mat.
However, at this time, Xu Meilan was naturally in no mood to care about these. What will Grandpa Guo do? Maybe I'll be hiding in Wuthering Heights? Or just ask me to leave? Or give me a piece of red silk?
Xu Meilan closed her eyes, and tears poured down again.
At this time, Li Congyi stepped in softly, and Li Chunhua, who was waiting on the side, said justice to Jiang Guo, so Li Congyi waved his hand and drove out. Xu Meilan heard Li Congyi coming in, but she didn't dare to face it for a while, but just turned her face inward.
I didn't want Li Congyi to sit on the bed roughly, hugged Xu Meilan, turned her face with one hand, and kissed her fiercely.
Xu Meilan was like a lightning strike at the beginning, her body stiffened, and then she was as soft as cotton. I only felt that Jiang Guogong still squeezed his tongue in, which was really embarrassing, but I felt that the graceful feeling of relying on my lips and teeth finally took the initiative to stick out my tongue and linger with each other, until both of them were panting, and they were separated.
Xu Meilan was finally thin-skinned, only to see that her little face was flushed, and the spring waves in her eyes seemed to be dripping water, sweeping away the decadence just now. Seeing Li Congyi staring at her in a daze, he wanted to pull the quilt to cover his face, but Li Congyi stopped him and covered him with another long kiss.
With Jiang Guogong's two kisses, Xu Meilan also calmed down. Let's talk about the past in detail.
It turned out that after Xu Le'an brought the real Xu Meilan to Xuancheng, Xu Meilan was either tired from the journey or unaccustomed to the water and soil, so she vomited and diarrhea, and she was dying.
When Lin Renzhao was the history of Xuanzhou, he occasionally saw a guard secretly wiping his tears in the corner, so he asked why. So he ordered someone to take Xu Meilan to find a good doctor and ask for medicine, and he hung the ginseng from the general's mansion to continue his life, and he was finally saved. After that, Xu Meilan became Lin Qianlan's maid, and then went to Nanchang.
Unexpectedly, that year, someone came from Jinling, but it was Emperor Li Yu who forced Lin Renzhao to commit suicide with poisoned wine. The envoys were all in the front yard, and Xu Le'an and more than 30 other guards followed the command of the guards to point out that Yan Yuanjia suddenly attacked in the backyard, broke the courtyard wall, and robbed Mrs. Lin Renzhao, a son and a daughter.
The besieging soldiers were caught off guard and were easily broken through. Unexpectedly, Zhu Lingyun had expected it. Yan Yuanjia led people to rush to the city gate, and there was a rain of arrows on his head, and Yan Yuanjia was also killed on the spot. Everyone couldn't, so they had to rush back again, and occupied an empty house along the way as a buffer.
At this time, there were only more than 20 people left, and the deputy commander Wu Feixing said: "Today's matter is already broken, and it will be dangerous to stop for a little more, so I will take a few people to break through along the back door to attract the attention of the peripheral Divine Guards, and the rest of the three or four people will break through separately in a group of three or four people, each with one person each." As long as you can hide for a while, you will eventually have to search the city by the officers and soldiers of Zhennan, and you will be able to survive at that time. ”
At this time, Xu Le'an ordered Lin Qianlan not to leave, "Miss Lin and I will stay here." "I want Lin Qianzhuang and Xu Meilan to exchange clothes again. Wu Feixing didn't say much when he heard this, and when Lin Meilan cleaned up, he turned around and led the team to attack. Only Xu Meilan walked to the left wing with a few people, and reluctantly glanced back at Xu Le'an and Lin Qianlan. This is the last look.
Lin Qianlan and Xu Le'an hid in the cellar in the courtyard, and sure enough, the soldiers of the Divine Guard outside the door broke through the gate and did not stay, so they went out again. Lin Qianlan heard the commotion in the city until midnight in the cellar, and there was no sound after that.
After a few more days, Xu Le'an took Lin Qianlan to transfer, and at the pre-agreed meeting place outside the city, the two waited for half a month, and finally more than a dozen people came to meet, and Wu Feixing was among them.
It turned out that the Divine Guard Army was just going to strangle Lin Renzhao's family, and Wu Feixing rushed to kill him, wanting to create a breakthrough opportunity for the other three groups. The Divine Guard could not hide its edge, and they scattered when they rushed in, but they were surrounded on all sides; After a long time of scuffle, they surrounded everyone together. But it was Mrs. Lin who laughed miserably: "Ladies and gentlemen, my general's army is like this, and he must have laughed at Jiuquan." Now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, I am afraid that it is no longer necessary. After that, I unfolded the child in my arms to show everyone, and it turned out that an arrow passed through Mrs. Lin's ribs and shot straight into the child's chest and abdomen.
Mrs. Lin said, "What the officers and soldiers want is nothing more than the heads of my mother and son." If you soldiers can live, he will go to the tomb of General Lin and put a pillar of incense on it. After saying that, he took out a knife from his body and stabbed it in the chest at that time.
Everyone was silent, and then listened to Xu Meilan again, "Brothers, when you talk to my brother Le'an, you will say that the Meilandlin family has already lived a few more years to save the Lin family, and they have lived very happily in the past few years." My sister went, so I asked my brother to treat Miss Lin as Meilan. With that, he bowed to everyone, and then picked up a broken knife from the ground and cut his neck.
