Chapter 309: A Roadside Historical Drama
The story told today is what Song You wants to hear.
When he and Sanhua Niangniang left the barracks, it was about the middle of September, and in late autumn, it was already the end of the month, and there were not a few days left before the New Year. More than three months. Since then, Yuezhou has basically been a no-man's land, and this season's itinerary is actually the loneliest since going down the mountain, and there is no place to hear any news.
Song You wanted to know what would happen in the army.
That was after I left.
However, the storyteller was obviously well versed in this, and did not immediately reveal the answer he wanted, but said in a loud voice:
"That's an eight-hundred-mile rush! Three thousand miles of clouds and months, it took less than four days for the messenger to send the letter from the army to Changjing!
"The capital is shaking, and the government and the opposition are overjoyed!
"But happy to return, General Chen said that the matter of continuing to lead the troops to the north was hotly discussed in the DPRK!
"It has to be discussed! How big of a deal is that?
"Some people agree, and some people must oppose it!
"The people of Saibei invaded last year, with the support of demons, once crossed the border, five towns in the north of the town, five towns were lost, General Chen urgently returned to the north of the town to slowly take it back, and then held it for more than a year, the five towns and three passes were lost and recovered I don't know how many times, how many people died? How much money and food are spent? Later, with the help of the gods, this turned from defense to offense, and after more than three months of fighting, how many people were lost?
"Now that the border army is tired, and they have to fight north, the Saibei people are not easy to mess with, go deep into the enemy's territory, what if they lose?
"Everyone says yes!
"Ouch, that's called a fierce ......
"Don't talk about quarreling in the court!
"There are all fights!"
Mr. Storyteller's face was wrinkled, as if he was anxious about it.
Then he lowered his voice again, as if he was telling some secret: "Quietly tell the big guys, Your Majesty naturally wants to fight, who doesn't want to fight, it's Princess Changping!"
"Your Majesty is very old, some time ago, the health is not very good, the two princes are still young, most of the affairs of the court are handled by Princess Changping, Princess Changping is reluctant to continue to fight after listening to the general's affairs, she wants to cultivate and ......rest in peace."
The voice grew lower and lower, as if something was a great taboo.
Song You couldn't help but smile.
The atmosphere of previous dynasties is different, some dynasties are really strict in discussing state affairs, but Dayan is not strict. The common people of Changjing discuss state affairs on the street, and it is not uncommon for any literati to accuse the emperor openly and secretly, and in some places, ancient times are not necessarily more conservative than modern times, as long as they do not deliberately slander the court and the royal family and publicize it, it is not a big deal in Dayan.
It should be the storyteller who deliberately sets the mood here.
This trick really works.
There were all ordinary people in remote areas, a few knew who the emperor's surname was, a few often heard about the affairs of the imperial court, and a few knew if this kind of thing could be said.
This can bring a strange kind of pleasure.
Song You took out the small bowl of Sanhua Niangniang, poured a small half bowl of tea, and handed it to the cat next to him.
"The two sides have been arguing for ten days!
"How can the army of the north be so delayed?
"How many troops are that? How much grain and grass does it cost a day for people to eat horses? How dangerous is it to go 800 miles deep into the enemy's territory? How difficult was it to transport grain in the past?
"Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, and it will snow if you wait any longer, where are you going to fight on the white grassland?
"Listening to rumors, in the end, it was His Majesty who personally went to the court with his sick body, gave an order in the court, and wrote a holy decree to order the envoys to take it back and let General Chen lead the troops north.
"But that's it......"
Mr. Storyteller's voice was lowered: "The old man also has a way, I just heard that this is it, the princess is still unwilling." We don't know what happened, and we don't dare to say it, but we heard that the capital was in turmoil for half a month, and the forbidden army entered the city, and I don't know how many heads fell.
"But what kind of person is Your Majesty today?
"Since ancient times, how many dynasties and generations, which dynasty can be stronger than our Dayan? Dayan has experienced more than 200 years, and when can we be as strong as our dynasty? Although Your Majesty's dragon body is slightly ill, the momentum of sweeping the Liuhe Qi and swallowing the Eight Desolations has not diminished, how can it be so easy to be shaken?
"What happened in the capital during that time, thousands of years later, will be known.
"Lao Er can only tell the princess that the princess was soon abolished by His Majesty, and the forces under her command were also uprooted, when the princess's mansion was the most powerful, how powerful it was, and now, no matter how high your pavilions and towers are, it is just a passing cloud, and the world should not fall into the hands of women."
Song You was also stunned when he heard this.
The stories in the mouths of these storytellers are so off-the-beaten-track that horses can be described as cows, but for the most part, there is no problem listening to the ending.
So silently raised a glass of tea.
But the picture of the elderly emperor who doesn't know whether the real illness or the fake illness and the middle-aged princess who controls the government has already emerged in his mind, taking this opportunity to start an open and secret battle.
I don't know how much wind and rain it is.
I don't know how many old people in Changjing have been affected.
May the deceased be well.
Song You knew for a long time that after he left Changjing, the capital would be a historical drama, as short as a few years or as long as more than ten years. Either you can return to the capital and see the results, or you can get a glimpse of the staged climax of this historical drama on the road. But he really didn't expect that it would be today, in Zhaozhou, which is so far away from Changjing, to hear the results of one of these stages from the mouth of a storyteller in a roadside teahouse in such a casual way.
There is also an inexplicable meaning.
When I heard it at this moment, I naturally couldn't hear it with my own ears and witnessed it, but in this era, I can be regarded as a first-hand witness of the times.
The eyes are only so wide, the world is vast and people are small, no one can witness everything with their own eyes, but everyone has things in front of them, and it is not bad to focus on what is in front of them and hear about other things.
"Two flowers, one for each flower!
"It is said that the messenger received the holy decree and sent it to the north quickly, it took four days to travel three thousand miles when he came, and it only took three days to return.
"Wow! This battle was fought beautifully!
"Invincible, no one can stop you!
"It only took half a month, and I fought all the way to Ma Yidong, that is, the place of the Saibei Royal Court, leveled the Saibei Royal Court, and went deeper into the Saibei for more than 2,000 miles, and then stopped! Hey, don't be in a hurry, I picked a high mountain to build an altar to worship the sky, so that we can repay the heavens, we won, so that the people of Saibei know that we have fought here, and then we will collect the troops and come back......
“……”
The Taoist listened carefully.
It seems that he has just gone through the brightest period in the history of this land.
The audience in the teahouse was even more excited, and many of them had already clenched their fists.
Those who gathered at a table to play games also unconsciously stopped their movements, and turned their heads in the direction of the storyteller sluggishly, and listened attentively.
Even Song You saw that some people froze in place when they heard it, and even forgot their excitement, and their breathing became heavy - as if the major events in history had no great weight, and the people who were at the end of the era sometimes took a lot of effort just to hear about it, and they would be out of breath.
The eyes of the young man beside him have been shining for a long time.
The storyteller finished a paragraph and took a break.
The young man was still short of breath, wishing that he was a few years older, and followed the general into the army, and made great achievements and left a name for eternity.
It wasn't until he glanced at him and saw that the Taoist was aiming at him, that he quickly restrained his expression, and deliberately held his breath, pretending to be calm and calm, thinking that the Taoist couldn't see it.
Taoists just smile and don't debunk them.
"Shaoxia has been idle lately?"
The young man immediately replied calmly: "Recently, the Chinese New Year, although there are many people in and out of the city, the ones who need to lead the way are almost the same as usual. ”
"It's time to rest." The Taoist said to him, "There is a tired color between the young man's eyebrows, and although his blood is vigorous, there is a loss of variegated color, which is a sign of fatigue and dark disease." In the long run, I am afraid that I will fall into a dark disease because of overdraft, and I may not feel that I am young, but as I get older, I will show that there will be problems. ”
"Sir, know how to heal?"
"Down there is the Taoist."
"Oh, Taoists know a lot about healing." The boy said in a tone of "I've seen a lot."
"I'll be able to spell a spell next."
“……”
The young man was embarrassed again, his black face was slightly red, but his expression was calm, and he continued to ask, "What will happen to the dark disease?" ”
"At least you are old and injured and miserable, and at worst you will have a short life and enter the Yellow Spring early."
“……”
The young man was silent for a moment, and then said: "How many people who practice martial arts are not injured or sick?" ”
"Having said that, it is also related to the fact that the young do not cherish, and the ignorance does not cultivate the body, whether it can be eradicated depends on the individual, but it is always okay to pay a little more attention and slow down a little." The Taoist said to him, "It is said that older people like to maintain health, but they just sharpen their guns in battle, but in fact, when they are young, they pay the most attention to their bodies." ”
The boy's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.
He has a good heart, and the Taoist is also kind, he has good intentions, and the Taoist also has good intentions, so he advises more:
"Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and take plenty of rest. Sometimes, even if you don't advance or retreat in martial arts, you can't do it quickly. If so, if the situation allows, you can also put some effort into the diet, because the fishy smell of river fish is much cheaper than poultry meat and animal meat, but it is very replenishing, especially for martial artists. This season, the river is frozen, I heard that as long as you dig a gap, it is easy to catch, there are abundant materials here, and there are countless river fish in the stream in the mountains outside the city, and you can hit it with a mallet, but it does not cost money, it is necessary to spend some effort. ”
The boy's eyes continued to flicker.
A young man of this age is the strongest, and he never agrees to be soft easily, and it is not good to admit that he has not done enough, but he has been in the rivers and lakes for several years at a young age, but he can also distinguish between the good and the good in the words, and after thinking for a while, he still arched his hand to the Taoist.
"Thanks for mentioning it!"
The Taoist smiled and didn't say much.
It wasn't until he heard the storyteller's story that he said goodbye to the boy, and thought that the chili peppers he had dried were almost dry, so he didn't run around, and slowly went back to collect them.
