Chapter 17 The mountain rain is coming

"Now Your Majesty's health has become worse and worse, and the towns in the world have made people's hearts fluctuate, and the feudal domains are even more powerful, and the world is afraid that it is about to be in chaos."

The purple-clothed eunuch said worriedly.

Although the eunuch group was unprecedentedly powerful during the reign of the emperors of previous dynasties, after the slaughter of Emperor Shengshu and Emperor Shengwu, the power of the eunuch group has been declining.

Fortunately, His Majesty Emperor Shengheng was more benevolent, so they were able to survive under the oppression of Wenchen and the feudal towns.

And there was still Gonggong Chen in the dynasty who could win the trust of His Majesty, withstand the pressure from all sides, and shelter them from the wind and rain for those who were disabled.

To say that Gonggong Chen can be regarded as the mainstay of the court.

His real name is Chen Boze, a native of Jingzhou, who was sold into the palace by his parents to become a eunuch due to the Jingzhou famine when he was young.

He was the palace he entered during the period of Emperor Shengcheng, and he went through Emperor Shengcheng, Emperor Shengyin, Emperor Shengjing, Emperor Shengshu, Emperor Shengwu, and now Emperor Shengheng can be regarded as the patriarch of the Six Dynasties.

And in the decades since he entered the palace, he has experienced the most glorious era of eunuchs and the most tragic era of eunuchs.

He watched those seniors blindfolded in front of power, he watched them rampantly manipulate the government, watched them depose the emperor, and finally watched them behead all over the place.

Fortunately, he was only an inconspicuous little eunuch at that time, and he was not qualified to participate in it, so he was able to survive.

He escaped the emperor's butcher's knife, the axe of the vassal kings, and the erosion of time.

Because he lived a long time, and finally after he survived many emperors, he succeeded in sending the supreme throne to Emperor Shengheng, which he brought with his own hands.

You must know that Emperor Shengheng is not the son of Emperor Shengwu, he is the son of Emperor Shengcheng, and according to his generation, he is the grandfather of Emperor Shengyin, Emperor Shengshu and Emperor Shengwu.

The reason why he was able to ascend to the throne was entirely because Emperor Shengwu died young, and the princes in the royal family who were eligible to inherit the throne were still too young.

The deeper reason was that the feudal towns and the Wenchen were united to support Emperor Shengheng.

The reason why the feudal towns and the bunchens, who had always been at odds, were able to agree was because they feared that the other faction would be too powerful.

And this force that makes the feudal town and the Wenchen very jealous is: foreign relatives.

"Father-in-law Bai is too worried, although Your Majesty is now in poor health, so the feudal town has begun to make some small moves behind the scenes, but they are just a group of clowns who jump off the beam."

Zhao Jian Zheng stood up and paced to the balcony of the Stargazing Tower, looking at the brightly lit Dayu Imperial City below and said disdainfully.

"Today, the major forces are beginning to move, and some people have begun to lose this big game of chess, but those feudal towns are just chess pieces, and they don't know it yet."

"Did Lord Zhao interpret something from the "Wanyan Fu"?"

"I have already said that I have not read any future trends from the Ten Thousand Legends, but I have seen the clues from the current situation."

Zhao Jianzheng's eyes were deep, and the momentum of Chengzhu in his chest made Bai Gonggong's body shock.

"In that case, how should I tell Gonggong Chen and His Majesty when I go back?"

"You don't have to say anything, just tell Your Majesty and Gonggong Chen: as always, there is no need to worry."

Zhao Jianzheng's words made Bai Gonggong frown, although he didn't know the deep meaning, but he still got up and withdrew from the Stargazing Pavilion after answering the promise.

And Supervisor Zhao was sitting back in front of the desk, picked up the "Wanyan Fu", flipped it over, and threw it to the ground.

"Since you know the ending and where you get the courage to lay out, the person who plays chess should move forward without distractions, whether you don't look at it, or if you don't look at it! Ha ha! ”

Zhao Jianzheng laughed, at this moment Zhao Jianzheng finally opened the knot in his heart that had never been opened, he felt that his heart was transparent at this time, and he was extremely comfortable.

And in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, thousands of miles away from the Dayu Dynasty, a white-haired old woman listened to the sound of undulating waves outside the window, her eyes were deep, and her face was groaning.

Outside the window, under the peach blossom trees, there are tables and tables, and women are sitting in front of the desks.

Some are playing the strings of the piano, and the melodies of the people are wafting in this forest, which makes people fascinated.

Some are splashing ink, and the green mountains and flowing water are jumping on the paper after chatting a few strokes.

Some are singing and reciting poetry, and when they spit out, they are the splendid articles, which makes people yearn for it.

~~~~~~

Such a beautiful scenery and such a beautiful woman are simply beautiful.

"Your Excellency, according to your orders, I have issued a secret order to all the people outside!"

"Okay, I know, you can step down!"

The white-haired old woman's eyes drooped slightly, and she muttered to herself: "The general trend has risen, whether this thousand-year-old foundation will be dispersed once and for all, or whether it will rise in the wind can only be left to fate." ”

At the same time, in a deep mountain in Zizhou, the sound of reading came from the mountains and forests.

These reading voices are full of frustration in the middle of the period, and there is a sense of righteousness and awe.

And the sound of books came from the mountains of houses, these houses are blue bricks and tiles, antique.

Stretches of houses stretch for miles.

Several stone trails wind down the mountain, connecting the outside of the mountain with the inside of the mountain.

On these paths, people dressed in green robes gather in twos and threes, shaking their heads and reciting poems, or studying and discussing allusions to articles.

And these stone paths eventually converge in front of a mountain gate.

Although there is a gilded plaque on this mountain gate, because of the fog lingering in the mountains, the words written on it are faintly unreal.

The two woodcut couplets on both sides of the mountain gate can vaguely see the text of the book.

Shanglian is: deer and swimming, a place where things and I forget each other. The following couplet reads: The spring peaks are intertwined, and Zhiren is unique.

On the steps at the entrance of the mountain, an old man in a long shirt looked away with his back to the mountain gate.

He whispered: The building is about to fall, is the way to reassure the people still feasible?

Compared with these two places, which can make people calm down, thousands of miles away in a small city on the plains of Shuzhou, a person is lying on the roof with his thoughts drifting away.

And under the roof, a large number of men in short coats are busy.

Some of them were ping-pong iron by the scorching fire, and scattered sparks flew in the air, bringing up white smoke.

Some people are pulling the saws hard to see the saws of a thick log scattering the wood chips.

There are also people who are comparing to the drawings as if they are studying something.

~~~~~~

These people are serious and focused, only the man on the roof is out of step with everyone below.

It's just that his face always maintains a hint of melancholy.

At the same time, there are still many unnoticed places in the land of the Dayu Dynasty, and many people are worried and hurriedly calculating something.

Even in the wolf's court, thousands of miles away, there are people who are grieving.

Compared with these people who are painstakingly calculating something, Li Yi at this time is much more relaxed.

At this time, it was already the afternoon of the second day after Qiao Fugong was killed, and after he carried Yi Chongdao on his back and climbed over the mountain in Duliang City, Yi Chongdao also woke up.

When he woke up, he had already lost his ferocious killing aura.

Although his appearance was still fierce, Li Yi clearly felt that his momentum had changed a lot compared to before.

Regarding the fact that Li Yi saved the head of the grass army, the attitudes of everyone in the inn were different.

Yang Ping, the fat shopkeeper, has always expressed strong opposition, in his opinion, the grass army is all cruel and murderous thugs, and saving this kind of person is the biggest threat to them ordinary people.

It's a pity that his opposition can't have any effect, because Li Yi's attitude is very resolute.

He obediently shut up Yang Ping with one sentence: If you are dissatisfied, you can go separately from me now.

And Cheng Saburo is much kinder to Yi Chongdao and Mi Yiren, and even his attitude is a little flattering.

Li Yi originally thought that Yi Chongdao would return to the ranks of the grass army as soon as he woke up.

But what he didn't expect was that after inquiring about their destination, Yi Shigedao insisted on escorting them there.

According to him, the grass army's activities in this area are ordinary now, and it is easy for them to be robbed by such a swaggering journey.

And with him in the grass army, no one dares to touch them.

It is precisely for this reason that Yang Ping agreed to walk with Yi Chongdao.

Along the way, Mi Yi and Yi Chongdao took turns to talk to everyone, and they quickly inquired about the specific situation of this group.

When they learned the specific situation, the faces of Yi Chongdao and Mi Yiren became playful.

As it was getting dark, they rushed to a ruined temple.

Since Emperor Shengwu destroyed the Buddha, the number of such broken temples in the Dayu Dynasty has skyrocketed.

Due to the lack of people to take care of them, most of the temples were dilapidated and collapsed, but the one they lived in was still relatively intact.

After hastily eating some dry food, everyone began to chat around the campfire.

Everyone chatted and couldn't help but bring the topic to the grass army, after all, the reason why everyone fled from Duliang City was because of the grass army.

And through this period of understanding, they found that Yi Chongdao and Mi Yiren are not the kind of madmen who only know how to wield knives indiscriminately.

"Yi Zhuangshi, I have heard that all the leaders of the Grass Army are righteous and chivalrous, but why do you want to rob the states and counties?"

Cheng Saburo has a plot of admiration for the grass army from the bones, and his impression of the grass army has never been too bad.

"That's right, aren't you shouting that you want to fight for the lives of the people of the world? But why do you turn around and plunder the people? ”

Yang Ping followed and asked.

But when he saw that Mi Yiren's face was a little unkind, he immediately shrank his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Actually, our grass army is not what you see today, and today's grass army is not my subordinate."

Yi Chongdao's face was limited and ashamed, although these grass soldiers who burned and looted were not his subordinates, but they were indeed part of the grass army.

Although he could restrain these undisciplined grass troops in the same way as he restrained his own subordinates, it was bound to clash with Yue Mian.

At that time, with Yue Mian's temper, he will definitely not give up, and it is likely to lead to a fight between the two parties in the end.

"Brother Yi, I was also in the city when the grass army entered the city to loot, I saw the people fleeing in panic, if your grass army really wants to earn a way to live for the people, you can't do this."

Li Yi sighed and said.

"You must know that no matter when, the people are the foundation of this world, whether it is a hero through the ages or a famous person, only if the people want, they can prosper forever."

"That's right, that's right, it's what the boat can do, and what the water can do."

When Yang Ping saw Li Yi speak, he immediately followed.

But when he opened his mouth, he realized that he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat!"

Yi Chongdao added with a look of disdain.

"Alas, yes, yes, yes, that's what I'm going to say."

Yang Ping patted his chubby thigh and said with a smile.

Not only was he not disgusted by Li Yi's preaching, but he felt that what he said was very reasonable.

This sentence: Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat is what the big master Ling Feibai said, at that time he felt that the big master said it very well, and he felt that the scholars were really different from them.

"After I go back this time, I will definitely state this matter to all the leaders, and I will definitely regulate the actions of the grass army, not let them plunder the people everywhere, and return the people to a good place."

Yi Zhongdao nodded and reassured.

"How did the Yi Zhuang and Mi Zhuang join the Grass Army?"

Cheng Saburo is very curious about the past of Yi Chongdao and Mi Yiren, and at the same time, he is also very yearning for the grass army.

After that, Yi Chongdao told his experience without reservation, which also let Yang Ping know why Yi Chongdao wanted to chase after the Qiao family.

"It's really hard to draw the skin of a tiger and a tiger, I don't know the face but don't know the heart, but I used to think that the head of the Qiao family was a good person who was pure and devoted himself to cultivation."

Yang Ping successfully dragged a sentence this time, but he didn't know who taught him this sentence.

And Mi Yiren also talked about his own experience in general.

After listening to this, the atmosphere among the crowd seemed slightly depressed.

They didn't expect that most of this seemingly barbaric and ferocious grass army would have an unbearable past.

And the reason why they joined the grass army was also forced by reality to be cornered, so they fell into the grass army.

In the middle of the night, everyone had already fallen asleep, only the clothes were heavy, but they were lying on the ground, their eyes still wide open.

His eyes focused on Li Yi's body.

For Li Yi, I like it from the bottom of my heart, it's not because Li Yi saved himself.

It's because Li Yi is a person who can be compared with both force and Wen Tao.

I have a lot of respect for this kind of person who is both civil and military.

At this time, he was thinking that if he could persuade Li Yi to join the Grass Army, then with his martial arts and knowledge, he would definitely be able to quickly make a name for himself in the ranks of the Grass Army.

And he felt that Li Yi would definitely be able to grow into an existence that he looked up to in the future.

After this kind of rare talent joins the grass army, he will definitely be able to assist the big bosses to overthrow the corrupt Dayu court, and it will definitely be okay to pay homage to the prime minister when the time comes.

At that time, as an introducer, he will definitely be able to leave a mark in the history books, and he will be able to go down in history.

Thinking of this, Yi Chongdao became even more determined to get Li Yi into the grass army.

But the biggest difficulty at present is that Li Yi does not have a good impression of the grass army.

He had also heard about Li Yi's life experience just now, and knew that his entire family had been killed by bandits.

In his opinion, the grass army is also a bandit, and he has no possibility of joining the grass army.

Thinking of this really made it difficult for Yi Shigedao.
