Chapter 360, God or Ghost

Yang Peng smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and frowned slightly; "I don't like it. Readers, what's the use? There is no need to talk about the war, these wastes are not scared to pee their pants on the battlefield, it is good," Zhao Lihua couldn't help but laugh, this laughter was very coquettish, the surrounding drinkers stopped talking, turned their heads, and saw that she was an astringent woman dressed as a man, and couldn't help but show a surprised look, and then cast an envious look at Yang Peng, and then turned his head and continued to eat and drink his own, chatting about his own, and the hustle and bustle in the tavern resumed.

Yang Peng joked: "No matter what clothes Lihua wears, she can still fascinate people!" Zhao Lihua smiled, and then urged: "Husband, you haven't finished talking yet!" ”

Yang Peng sorted out his thoughts, picked up and took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and continued: "It is not good for scholars to fight, and they can't do business and create wealth, so they look down on farmers, so they can't talk about producing food, and they sneer at technicians and workers, and laugh at their skills as strange and ingenious, so you don't have to expect these scholars to make any exquisite or useful utensils!" Then there is only one thing left, and that is to govern the country and secure the country,"

Zhao Lihua nodded, "That's what the reader should do!" Yang Peng laughed mockingly, "They think like this, everything is inferior, only reading is high, don't they just think that they can be an official and superior after reading?" But what about these people as officials? It can't be said that it is completely useless, at least famous ministers like Du Ruhui and Di Renjie who have gone down in history are all born as scholars! But there are too few such people, and in the final Tang generation, there is only one Di Renjie and one Du Ruhui. And there is only one Kou Zhun in the more than 100 years of the Great Song Dynasty! The vast majority of scholars, 99 percent, are fucking bastards who have not achieved enough success, more than enough to lose, and who are corrupt and abuse the people! Zhao Lihua frowned and nodded, "It seems to be really like this!" As far as the experience of the slave family is concerned, it seems that they have never met a decent official! However, Fujun, Yang Yanzhao, Gao Huaide, and Cao Bin have very good character! ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Thank you Lihua for the compliment!" Zhao Lihua smiled, "Husband doesn't have to be polite, the slave family is telling the truth!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and continued: "Relatively speaking, officials who are not born as scholars are much better! Merchants are officials, often try to accumulate wealth for the local area, farmers are officials will be very concerned about agricultural production, it cannot be said that they are all good people, but they at least want to do something while being corrupt and bending the law, but the scholar is an official, just want to get it into his own pocket, insatiable, shameless! Therefore, the ten-year cold window is only for money! Scholars think they are superior, but I think these grandsons are the worst of the bunch! Yang Peng said as he spoke, his voice raised unconsciously, and the surrounding drinkers all heard Yang Peng's words, and felt extremely shocked, this is a remark that has never been heard before, but after thinking about it, he felt that although these words were a little more intense, they seemed to make sense.

A drinker whispered: "That person, I'm afraid it's not a common man, he may be a general in the Yanyun Army!" The companion next to him glanced at Chen Xiao and nodded sympathetically, "I heard that there are many heroic generals in our Yanyun army, Ma Qiang, Zhan Jinguo, Yang Dezheng, etc., that one may be one of them!" Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded.

Yang Peng saw Zhao Lihua sitting there in a daze, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Zhao Lihua came back to her senses, glanced at Yang Peng, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think what the eldest brother said just now is too good!" Yang Peng smiled, "Reading, but you can recognize a few words and make a few poems!" But what's the use? Only those who can really solve the problem of dealing with things are useful! There are thousands of things in the world, and they can't be solved by recognizing a few words and making a few poems! Zhao Lihua nodded sympathetically.

"Brother Tai's words are ridiculous!" An angry voice suddenly rang out. Everyone followed the prestige and saw a young man in a white Confucian shirt standing at the table by the stairs, glaring at Yang Peng angrily. Next to him, a young man in a gray shirt looked panicked and was secretly tugging at his sleeve. When the drinkers saw this scene, they couldn't help but gloat, and secretly said: The scholar is really stupid, he can't see that the young man is a person with a great background, isn't it uncomfortable for you to come out like this?

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "You say my words are ridiculous?" "Not bad! Your remarks are clearly ill-intentioned to steal beams and change pillars! The white-clothed Confucian said angrily. Oh? I'd like to hear from you! The white-clothed Confucian snorted, "We scholars naturally don't know how to do business, can't farm, and can't go to the battlefield without the power of chickens!" But these are not the purpose of reading, reading is to understand reason, and then help ordinary people to understand reason, only when the people are reasonable, the country will develop on the right path, so that there will be no big problems! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "The so-called 'reason' you read is just made up by people, why do you say that that set of reasons is reasonable, and other people's are not reasonable?" "Since the white-clothed Confucian students read and read, they only think that the classics they read are natural, but they have never thought that those natural truths are just made up, at this time after listening to Yang Peng's question, I couldn't help but be stunned, and I didn't know how to refute for a while. After a long time, he said angrily: "Confucius and Mencius are both saints, is there anything wrong with their words?" ”

Yang Peng sneered: "Everyone is a mortal fetus, they are all raised by their parents, they all eat grains, they all have birth, old age, sickness and death, why do they say that they are saints?" The white-clothed Confucian was speechless, very angry in his heart, but he had no words to refute.

Yang Peng said: "When Kong Lao Er was alive, he traveled around the world, what achievements did he have? Is it to settle the country, or to settle the strife? When he was alive, he did nothing, but when he died, he was praised by you as a god! In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that the Confucian system is the most conducive to the king fooling the people and ruling the people! Taking the world as one's own selfishness is the essence of Confucianism! The drinkers high-fived and applauded, Zhao Lihua looked at Yang Peng with admiration, and the white-clothed Confucian was so angry that his face turned pale, and he couldn't stop panting, but there was a hint of confusion in his angry eyes.

Yang Peng's tone softened a little and said: "Confucianism is not all without merit, and some things are also very worthy of admiration!" For example, the word 'loyalty', but this 'loyalty' is not loyalty to the king, but loyalty to the country and the nation! If the king is a bastard, anyone can knock him down! ”

At this time, although Yang Peng was already vigorously abandoning the Confucian doctrine, the concept of loyalty was still a moral concept that most people had penetrated into their bones, and whether they could abide by it was one thing, but no one dared to openly deny this. Therefore, as soon as Yang Peng's words came out, everyone showed shock.

Yang Peng said: "The reason why the king is a king is to protect the people of this side and benefit the people of this side, but not for him to be a prestige!" The purpose of all acts is to serve the people, not the king, so 'loyalty to the king' is simply wrong, and it is a set of nonsense that the king made up in order to make the world his family's private property! If the king can't satisfy the needs of the people, then he must step aside! The deer has the deer king, when the deer herd is in danger, the deer king must first resist the danger to protect his people, for the last breath it will not flinch, that is its responsibility, if the deer king can not do this, then soon the deer king will be replaced, because it has not fulfilled its responsibility; The wolf has a wolf king, it is also his duty to protect the territory and protect the people, no wolf king will retreat when other wolves invade, it will be the first to meet the enemy, until the battle is dead, until the blood is shed! The tavern was silent, everyone stopped drinking, listening to Yang Peng's words, everyone couldn't help but look thoughtful, and the two Confucian scholars also showed a thoughtful look.

Yang Peng said: "Animals are still like this, but people are not as good as animals, isn't it funny!" Look at the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, before the invasion of foreign enemies, he spent all day and drank and lived more freely than anyone else, but the Khitan army invaded with iron hooves, but he ran faster than anyone else, and the people of the country didn't care about it! To put it mildly, such a person is better than a decent beast to be an emperor! ”

The drinkers laughed, but after laughing, they thought about it, and the two Confucian scholars remained silent.

Yang Peng glanced at the two Confucian students, "Actually, many of your Confucian things are contradictory!" It is said that 'the son is silent and the power is chaotic', but it also emphasizes that 'the monarch is divinely endowed, and the heaven and man are induced', so may I ask you two, do you Confucians think that there are immortals, or are there no immortals? The two Confucian scholars looked stupid and couldn't answer at all.

Yang Peng said with a smile: "You say that Confucius and Meng are saints, and saints are gods, but you also say, 'Zi is silent, strange and chaotic', I said what the hell is going on with you, you think you are amazing, but many things are inconsistent!" A drinker said with a smile: "Presumably their Confucians like to get drunk and talk nonsense, so isn't Li Bai known as a wine fairy?" Drunk and drunk talk is naturally messy! The drinkers burst into laughter. The two Confucian scholars were angry and ashamed, and they wanted to find a hole to get into.

Yang Peng restrained his smile and said to the two Confucian scholars: "There are no saints in this world, the so-called 'truth', only what meets the wishes of most people is the truth, and it is not up to anyone to say it!" Smiled, "What I said is naturally not necessarily correct, but the reason is not clear, the kind of thing that does not allow others to debate with me at all, does not allow others to question, it is really hard to believe, how much truth can it have!" Zhao Lihua couldn't help but say: "Husband is right! ”

The white-clothed Confucian threw a piece of broken silver on the table and hurried downstairs, and when his companion saw this, he hurriedly followed.

A drinker laughed, "It's called running away with your tail between your legs!" Everyone burst into laughter, and then they drank and chatted, and the scene became a scene of staggered and noisy scenes.

Zhao Lihua looked at Yang Peng, her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, "Husband is amazing!" In terms of fighting, there are few people in the world who are opponents of their husbands, and in terms of talking, those nerds who study all day and night can't talk about big brothers! ”

Yang Peng smiled, turned his head to Wang Kai, who was sitting at the adjacent table, and said, "Send someone to follow the white-clothed Confucian just now and see where he settles." Wang Kai nodded, and then gave an order to a secret guard sitting at the same table, and the secret guard immediately got up and went down. Someone saw this scene and said secretly: Those two Confucian students are probably going to be unlucky.

Yang Peng and Zhao Lihua continued to drink and chat, and after they were full of wine and food, they paid the bill and left the tavern. Back at the palace, Zhao Lihua went back to her courtyard, and Yang Peng came to the study to handle official business. Zhang Xiang, Han Bing, and Chai Yonghui, who had been waiting in the study for a long time, immediately greeted them and saluted, "King Yan." ”

Yang Peng walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, glanced at the three of them, his eyes fell on Han Bing's face, and asked, "Han Bing, how is the recruitment and training of recruits progressing?" Han Bing said: "The recruitment work is very smooth, the required soldiers have been recruited, and they are now training in the large camp outside Tianjing New City." Within three months, you can replenish your direct legion! "What these soldiers want to supplement is the direct legion of the previous war with the Liao State and the Western Xia, in this battle, the soldiers of the Yanyun direct legion were invested in Yanmen Pass and northern Shaanxi, and the other legions did not participate in it; Now that the war is over, Yang Yanzhao and Gao Hu's troops are still guarding the same place, while the 200,000 soldiers of the directly subordinate regiments who had previously gone north from Henan to participate in the war stayed in Datong Mansion, Baishan Mountain and Yanmen Pass.

Yang Peng nodded and looked at Huang Guang, "How is the pension work progressing?" Huang Guang hugged his fists and said: "The pension work is underway, and it is expected that all the work can be completed within a month!" Yang Peng thought of the scene he saw in the tavern today, and couldn't help but feel relieved and praised: "You did a good job, I'm very satisfied!" Huang Guang only felt flattered, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates are just acting according to King Yan's intentions, and they don't dare to take credit!" Yang Peng smiled: "To do well is to do well, you don't have to be modest!" "Yes!"

Yang Peng's gaze turned to Chai Yonghui's face, Chai Yonghui didn't wait for Yang Peng's question, and said with a smile: "The officials of our supervision department have supervised the pension work throughout the whole process, and have not found any problems yet, in addition, a group of supervision officials who went to Datong Mansion are ready, just waiting for the order of the eldest brother!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "When you're ready, let them go." "Yes." Yang Peng glanced at the three of them and asked, "Is there anything else?" Huang Guang hugged his fists and said: "Han Derang, the envoy of the Liao State, has arrived, and has already submitted his credentials to us, hoping to see King Yan." ”

Yang Peng thought for a while and asked, "What do you think is the purpose of Han De's trip?" The three of them glanced at each other, and Han Bing said, "Now in this situation, you must have come to ask us for peace!" The other two nodded, and Chai Yonghui said, "Sister Han Bing is right, it must be like this!" ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment and said to Huang Guang: "I'm not in a hurry to see him, you entertain me first!" Huang Guang clenched his fists and promised. Yang Peng said: "If there is nothing else, you can go and do your own work!" Huang Guang and Chai Yonghui bowed down and exited the study, leaving only Yang Peng and Han Bing in the study.

Yang Peng pondered: "After this battle, there should be a period of calm, and we can take this opportunity to develop the economy well." He raised his head and asked, "Han Bing, what do you say is the most profitable?" ”

Han Bing was absent-minded, and suddenly heard Yang Peng's question, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What? Yang Peng saw that her mind was not absent-minded, and asked curiously;" Han Bing, what are you thinking? As soon as these words came out, two blush suddenly flew on Han Bing's delicate face, and there was a panicked and shy look in his beautiful eyes! Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then his heart moved, stood up, walked in front of Han Bing, and held Han Bing's slender hand. Han Bingfang's heart rippled, raised her head and looked at Yang Peng stupidly, her beautiful eyes were infinitely charming. Yang Peng said apologetically: "We haven't had a good talk for a long time!" ”

Han Bing's heart couldn't help but rise with resentment, glared at Yang Peng, and said with jealousy: "You have so many concubines, naturally you won't take people to heart!" ”

Yang Peng's heart fluttered, "Nonsense!" Big brother thinks about you all the time! Han Bing knew that what Yang Peng said couldn't be true, but he still couldn't help but be very happy, and couldn't help but lean his delicate body into Yang Peng's arms, and asked softly, "Is what you said true?" Yang Peng immediately cursed and swore an oath. Han Bing's heart couldn't help but surge with anger, and his beautiful eyes looked at Yang Peng hotly. Yang Peng's heart swelled with infinite tenderness, and he took Han Bing's slender hand and left the study and walked towards his courtyard. Han Bing blushed and asked, "What are you pulling people for?" Yang Peng turned his head as he walked and said with a wicked smile: "Of course it's a good deed!" Han Bing lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yang Peng, his heart was pounding. ……

A cloud and rain, I don't know how time passes, when the clouds and rain stop whispering, Yue'er has climbed the treetops. Han Bing finally found out that it was already night, and said in surprise: "Why is it dark?" Yang Peng stroked her slippery skin and teased with a smile; You're so dizzy that you didn't notice! Han Bing punched Yang Peng in shame. immediately got up from Yang Peng, moved to the edge of the bed, and said urgently; "Let's get out quickly, if my sister finds out, we'll be ashamed!"

Yang Peng smiled, "You are a mighty general, why are you so cowardly!" ”

Han Bing glared at Yang Peng angrily, got off the bed, but his legs and lower abdomen were sore, and he couldn't help but fall back to the bed with a sigh. Yang Peng hurriedly hugged her, kissed her cheek, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Han Bingjiao was flushed and extremely embarrassed, turned around and punched Yang Peng heavily in the chest, "It's all your fault!" Yang Peng smiled bitterly: "Hey, it's really difficult to be a man, if you don't work hard, blame you for being useless, and blame you for working too hard!" Han Bing blushed and glared at Yang Peng in annoyance.

Yang Peng looked at the charming face and embarrassed expression close at hand, and smelled the faint fragrance, and couldn't help but feel his heart flutter, and couldn't help kissing the red lips. Gradually, both of them couldn't help but get excited, and the movements became more and more intense, and later, no one could control themselves, so they started to rain again. ……

By the end of the round, it was already midnight. Han Bing was lying on Yang Peng's chest, and the strength of being a general finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only watery tenderness. Han Bing said in shame: "The sisters must be laughing at me now!" It's all your fault! Yang Peng touched his nose and said with a smile: "Actually, you can't completely blame me for this matter, who told Han Bing that you put on such a tempting pose in front of me!" As a result, I couldn't hold it anymore! Han Bing was ashamed and angry, and raised his head, "You mean I seduced you!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "That's pretty much what it means." Han Bing glared at Yang Peng angrily. Yang Peng's gaze glanced down, swallowed his saliva, and said with a wicked smile: "Han Bing, aren't you seducing me again now?" Big brother's concentration is very weak! ”

Han Bing followed his gaze, and then realized that he couldn't help but prop up his upper body, and he was shocked, and quickly fell back. Yang Peng snorted very coolly, "The beauty is in her arms, it is even more uncontrollable!" Han Bing glanced at Yang Peng, pillowed his head on Ailang's chest, closed his eyes, only to feel the exhaustion surging, and muttered: "I'm going to sleep, don't make anyone else!" A moment later, the sound of long, soft breathing was heard, and she was already asleep.

Yang Peng smiled, wrapped his hands around Han Bing's waist, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep. …… In the study, Huang Guang reported to Yang Pengyu: "King Yan, Han Derang is anxious to see King Yan and asks to come and meet King Yan as soon as possible!" Yang Peng smiled: "He's afraid that we have something else in mind." Don't worry, let him go for two more days, we have to discuss this matter first. ”

"Yes. This morning, the messenger of Dali came to see King Yan, and he looked extremely anxious. Listening to what he said, Tubo is storming the Great Snow Mountain, which is in danger, and he has come to ask for our assistance! ”

Yang Peng touched his chin and said, "If Dali hadn't sent troops without hesitation before, the Tubo people would not have been able to withdraw their troops from Qinfeng Road so easily!" Since Dali is so loyal to us, we naturally can't let them down. Huang Guang nodded. Yang Peng pondered for a moment, "Later, at the meeting, you bring this matter up, I want to listen to everyone's opinions!" "Yes!"

Half an hour later, all the important civil and military officials in Tianjing New Town gathered in the hall to participate in the daily official business and meeting. This is a deliberative system similar to that of other national courts, where Yang Peng will always discuss major issues with the civil and military forces at the meeting, and then formulate the most appropriate plan. Sometimes, when the opinions of all parties are deadlocked, Yang Peng will make a final decision on the platform.

Yang Peng glanced at Huang Guang, Huang Guang understood, and raised his voice to his colleagues: "This morning, the envoy of Dali came, Tubo is attacking Daxue Mountain, Dali is in a critical situation, and he has come to ask us for help!" When they heard this, they began to whisper. Zhang Xiang hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said: "King Yan, Dali didn't dare to slack off on our requirements before, which made Qin Fenglu turn the danger into a disaster, and now Dali is in trouble, we should rescue!" But there's a hard part of this......"

Yang Peng nodded, "I know what you mean, you mean the problem of grain and grass." We are already short of food and grass, and after a series of fierce battles, the remaining grain and grass have been exhausted, and now we are afraid that we will not be able to send troops again! ”

After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
