Chapter 759, rare leisure
Nozomi Saga said: "I want to be a great Mingren!" He glanced at his father, "Father, I don't think there is a future for staying in the country. Our Saga family is based in Kyushu, Kyoto is not our hometown, we are just outsiders, and it is very difficult to gain a foothold. Even if you can get a foothold in the end, you can only look at the faces of the local daimyos, and the days of looking up to people are not easy! ”
The Master Saga sighed, "You're right. But what can be done about it? We're still good, most of the property has been brought out, and although we have to look up to people, the noble life of the daimyo family will not change in the slightest. Unlike some Kyushu daimyos, only if people escape, when they arrive in Kyoto, everyone despises them, and they live a life that is not even as good as the local people, then it is miserable! ”
Saga Nozomi said: "The prince of the Wa Kingdom previously learned that the Ming army was about to attack, so he gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to set up a large array on Kyushu Island, in a vain attempt to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop. However, although the opponent only had 30,000 or 40,000 horses, he was invincible in successive battles, hundreds of thousands of troops were annihilated, and Kyushu was annexed by the Ming Dynasty in an instant! The battle of Kyushu is like this, if the Ming army attacks Honshu, will we be able to resist it? The Venerable Saga's face changed, and he did not speak.
Nozomi Saga snorted and said; "Although I don't understand military affairs, I also know that the Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers and unlimited support. I heard that the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty was the directly subordinate army and the Xuanjia army, and it was not these troops who attacked Kyushu. If in the future, the Ming Emperor pounced on Benzhou with 100,000 directly subordinate troops, what would the Japanese do? The Venerable Master Saga looked worried.
Nozomi Saga sneered and said, "I think that the Japanese will only lose worse at that time than during the Battle of Kyushu." If Honshu is lost, Shikoku will definitely not be able to keep it, and where else can the Japanese flee to? Hokkaido? Honshu is lost, can Hokkaido still be able to resist stubbornly? Father, if we follow the Japanese people, the final fate will be very miserable! ”
The Master Saga glanced at his daughter, frowned, and asked; "Do you want to go to Daming again? Didn't I say that we can't get through! Then he looked around and said in a low voice, "There is something you don't know yet. There is a way out. Not long ago, our navy finally found a new world in the southeast, a new world inhabited by only a few primitive people, vast and vast! Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the ministers of the Imperial Court are secretly relocating the common people and daimyo to the New World. As soon as we get to the new world, everything will be fine. Even if the four islands of Honshu sink, it doesn't matter. ”
Nozomi Saga snorted coldly, "Even the old nest has been lost, can you really live a happy life in the new world?" This is just self-deception! The Master Saga said unhappily, "Xiyu! ”
"Father, you should know that what I said is correct, but I still have illusions about the Japanese people in my heart, and I don't want to admit it!" The Venerable Master Saga was depressed.
Nozomi Saga said excitedly: "I didn't think about how to surrender to Daming, but after listening to what my father said, I already have an idea." The Master Saga was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he exclaimed urgently: "You, you want to tell the truth?" ”
Nozomi Saga nodded, "That's it." I'm going to Daming secretly, and I'm going alone without attracting anyone's attention. I am going to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and tell him about the discovery of the new world by the Japanese people. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who has made great achievements will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds. Since I have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty must reward me. I asked the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to give us the title of a Ming nobleman, and then sent a ship to pick us up. ”
The Venerable Master Saga couldn't help but feel that his daughter's idea seemed to be very feasible. The Ming Dynasty is known all over the world, no matter what kind of person you are, as long as you make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, you can be knighted and become a respected Ming nobleman, which is naturally far better than the name of the Wa Kingdom! Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has never allowed outsiders to bully their subjects, such as the war against Bagan, which was largely triggered by the persecution of the local Han people by the Bagan court, and as a result, the country was shattered, and the king of Bagan is still missing. If he had made a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would definitely send the elite to pick up his family, and the information that the Japanese people had discovered the New World should be shocking enough and valuable enough for the Ming Dynasty. In an instant, the Venerable Master Saga had so many thoughts in his mind.
Nozomi Saga saw that his father did not object, so he said; "Father, I plan to secretly go to Kyushu tomorrow, and then go to Daming."
The Venerable Master Saga frowned and said, "Your idea is very good, but it is not easy to go to Daming in secret!" ”
Nozomi Saga said, "I've already thought that my father could secretly buy a fishing boat and send a few absolutely reliable retainers to follow me. We pretend to be fishermen and go out to sea without anyone noticing. The Master Saga nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Yes, but why are you going?" I'll send a reliable person there! No, No, I have to go. Because I used to get along with the Ming Emperor, if I go, I should be able to meet the Ming Emperor, and it is impossible for others to do so. ”
The Master Saga smiled, and then said contemptuously: "The Kimura family is arrogant! It's just a rural landlord, compared to the Ming Emperor, it's just dust, it's shit! The man our family is looking for is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Saga Xiyu couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly said, "Father, it's not what you think!" ”
The Venerable Saga smiled and said, "Why is it not what I thought, the Ming Emperor can get along with you for a while, and he obviously has a good eye for you." Daughter, work harder, strive to become the princess of Daming, and make those who look down on us jealous! Nozomi Saga sighed faintly and said, "He just pitied me!" I heard that the princesses of the Ming Dynasty are all peerless beauties who have captivated the country and the city, and he will not take a fancy to me! The Venerable Saga's eyes widened, "Nonsense, our Saga family's Nozomi will not be worse than any woman!" Nozomi Saga blushed, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she didn't know what she thought.
The sight was transferred to Hangzhou.
Yang Peng was wandering around the harem garden boredly, when the guards suddenly came to report that Commander Wang Rong was coming. Yang Peng looked towards the gate of the garden, and sure enough, he saw Wang Rong in military uniform walking towards this side, and couldn't help but smile.
Wang Rong came straight to Yang Peng, looked at Yang Peng with her eyes, and said with her fists clenched: "The last general will meet Your Majesty!" ”
Yang Peng smiled: "What are you doing with so many courtesies?" Is there something wrong with coming to me? ”
Wang Rong glanced at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Of course you can come!" glanced at Wang Rong and said with emotion: "For so long, we haven't been able to talk well!" Wang Rong glanced at Yang Peng sadly, Yang Peng's heart was about to melt, and he subconsciously stretched out his hands and held Wang Rong's slender hands. Wang Rong was taken aback and hurriedly looked around.
Yang Peng smiled: "What are you doing?" Like a thief? ”
Wang Rong asked, "What about Niangniang?" Yang Peng teased: "Come to steal her husband, afraid of being caught by her?" Wang Rong said angrily: "It's clear that you seduced me!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, I seduced you!" Wang Rong chuckled and said, "Such a flamboyant tongue, it seems that Niangniang must be gone, where did Niangniang go?" Yang Peng said: "She went to Huaxu headquarters, and she may not be able to come back until the evening, and we still have a lot of time!" Wang Rong looked at Yang Peng excitedly and said, "Then let's not waste time!" Then he pulled Yang Peng and ran towards the palace bedroom.
Wang Rong pulled Yang Peng to the front of the bedroom, but suddenly stopped, and then ran towards the utility room next to the dormitory with Yang Peng. Seeing this, Yang Peng was surprised, and didn't understand why women liked those dark places?
The two came to the utility room, Wang Rong threw Yang Peng to the ground, and then rode on his lap. The eyes of the two were entangled, and their expressions were full of love, Wang Rong raised her hands and prepared to untie her robe. Yang Peng suddenly raised his right hand and held Wang Rong's slender hand, and said, "I'm wearing an armor!" Wang Rong smiled, leaned down and kissed Yang Peng's lips. Yang Peng hugged Wang Rong in an armored robe, and was very excited, this kind of uniform temptation is extremely attractive to any man.
……
Yan Ji came back from outside, but didn't find Yang Peng in the study, so she came to the flower courtyard, but she didn't see Yang Peng either. So I asked the palace maids, and several palace maids were flushed and hesitant, and they couldn't say why. Yan Ji immediately realized what was going on, and sternly questioned the palace maid, but the palace maid didn't dare to hide it anymore, and immediately told Yan Ji what they knew. Yan Ji was amused and angry, and immediately rushed into the utility room. I saw a graceful figure hurriedly running away from the back door. Yan Ji immediately went to chase after her, and shouted at the same time: "Don't run! Who are you? ”
When he was chasing, Yang Peng, who was only wearing a pair of pants, jumped out from the side, hugged her, and said with a smile: "Okay! You've scared people away, and you still want to chase them to the ends of the earth? ”
Yan Ji turned her head and glanced at her lover, and said angrily: "What a gluttonous cat, stealing fish behind his wife's back!" ”
Yang Peng hurriedly said: "She is actually my wife, but she has no name, she is not a messy wild woman!" ”
Yan Ji asked, "Is it Wang Rong?" ”
Yang Peng showed a look of surprise, "How do you know?" Yan Ji glanced at her lover, raised her slender jade finger and poked her lover's chest, and said angrily: "All the way back, I always see you two eyebrows, don't I understand?" Yang Peng laughed. Yan Ji said angrily: "Sister Wang Rong is really, am I just such a jealous woman, why are you avoiding me?" ”
"!" Wang Rong's voice came from the back door. Yan Ji followed the prestige and saw Wang Rong coming in. Wang Rong was wearing an armored robe, but the clothes and pants under the armor were gone, and two white beautiful legs were exposed under the skirt armor, which looked particularly charming against the background of the armor and cloak, Yan Ji was also a woman, and she couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart. turned around and glanced at his lover, as if to say, another good woman has been deceived by you. Yang Peng smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
Yan Ji walked up to Wang Rong, took Wang Rong's slender hand, and said, "Sister, let's go to the room and talk, ignore this hateful man!" As he spoke, he took Wang Rong's slender hand and left. Wang Rong glanced back at Yang Peng. Yang Peng shouted: "Hey, you don't care about me? I'm your husband! Yan Ji turned her head and glanced at her lover, and took Wang Rong's slender hand and left the utility room.
Yang Peng smiled, straightened his clothes, and left the utility room. Looking at the upstairs window where two beautiful shadows were reflected not far away, he thought that the two of them must be talking about women's private words, and it was better not to disturb him, so he left the palace and went to wander around the city.
Yang Peng didn't like a large crowd of people surrounding him, so he only came to the city with a few retinues. I saw that Hangzhou City is more beautiful than Bianliang, not as magnificent as Bianliang, but there is a unique soft posture of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Small bridges and flowing water, weeping willows by the lake, building pagodas, water pavilions; The streets are full of folding fan calligraphy and paintings full of literati atmosphere, and the sound of literati singing after drinking comes from the restaurant. However, as one of the most important commercial hubs in East Asia, Hangzhou is now one of the most important commercial hubs, and the atmosphere of commerce is also indispensable, with pedestrians on the streets like weavers, all kinds of different skin tones gathered here, and voices with different accents mixed into a wonderful music. Today's Hangzhou is more prosperous and noisy than Lin'an, which was the temporary capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Yang Peng looked at such a scene, very happy, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Dangdang...... There was a melodious bell in the distance, Yang Peng couldn't help but look up, only to see the distant mountains outside the city, the green hills stretched, and the bell seemed to come from there, but whether there was a temple or a nunnery there, it was completely invisible. The white clouds are long, the green mountains are faint, and it seems to be a fairyland.
Yang Peng wandered around the street for a while, and saw a teahouse not far away, so he walked in. When he came upstairs, he saw that there were already seventy or eighty percent of the guests sitting upstairs, so he led a few guards to a more secluded position and sat down. Xiao Er immediately came over to say hello, Chen Xiao casually asked for a pot of fragrant tea and a few snacks, Xiao Er responded and retreated, and after a while, he brought tea and snacks, said slowly, and went to greet the other guests.
Yang Peng and a few guards ate, drank and chatted. At this moment, only one tea guest was heard shouting: "If my left hand is not broken, I will still follow the army to battle!" Those are the days that men should live! Everyone couldn't help but follow the prestige, and saw a man who was not tall or very strong, but with a fierce face, talking to his companions at the same table. I saw that his left sleeve was empty, and obviously his left arm was no longer there, and everyone couldn't help but be in awe when they thought of what he had just said. I only heard the man say again: "Since I was discharged from the army, I have nothing to do all day long, and I am about to have a problem!" ”
A man at the same table smiled and said, "Brother Li, you are okay now!" The court supports you, you can live comfortably and steadily, and you don't have to work for a living, we are all envious! The other person at the table nodded in agreement.
That big brother Li glared at the man, and said angrily: "Manly man, how can you be satisfied with this kind of life!" You should go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, so that this man is in vain! He glanced at the two of them and said, "You two, you are young, you should also go to the army, and you always nest in your hometown!" ”
A man said depressedly: "I also want to, Xiaojuan, she likes to be a soldier the most!" But the last time I went to enlist, the adults in the military government didn't look down on me! Another also said, "My body is weaker, and I was not chosen." That big brother Li glared and said: "If you are weak, you can exercise, which one is born with a strong body!" The two men nodded sympathetically, and one of them begged Brother Li: "Brother Li, you are the big hero in our shop, you can train the two of us." Brother Li's expression moved, and he nodded: "Okay, since you two have such thoughts, I will train you well." But listen to me, or I'll be unkind!" The two nodded together, picked up the teacup, and toasted Brother Li with tea instead of wine. Brother Li waved his hand and said, "If you want to drink and go to the restaurant, what kind of thing is drinking tea!" Walk! So saying, he stood up, took out a piece of broken silver, threw it on the table, and led the two boys down.
As soon as the three of them left, there was a discussion in the teahouse, all in a tone of envy and admiration. However, there was a murmur, which was made by an old pedantic-looking person sitting not far from Yang Peng, and the voice was very low, and Yang Peng heard it: "Hmph! The world has been made like this! If you are in charge like this, how can the world last long! Etiquette is bad, etiquette is bad! Several of the guards frowned, and they were about to attack. Yang Peng waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to pay attention. For this kind of voice that exists in Confucianism, Yang Peng is not surprised, Confucianism has ruled China for thousands of years, but suddenly lost its dominance, from heaven to the mortal world, naturally dissatisfied and difficult to accept, if you want to complain, let them send it, as long as you don't make trouble.
"Your Majesty, Great, Big Brother!" A woman's surprised voice suddenly came from Yang Peng's side. Yang Peng turned his head to look and saw a man face that was a little more beautiful than a woman and a little familiar. couldn't help but be stunned, and then remembered, isn't that the Hangzhou Oiran flower Xiangrong brought by Shen Yuqiu before? I didn't expect to meet her here!
Yang Peng smiled, "It's you." ”
Hua Xiangrong looked at Chen Xiao excitedly and said, "I didn't expect to meet the eldest brother here!" ”
Yang Peng smiled and pointed to the seat next to him, "Sit down and talk." Several guards immediately left their seats and dispersed to the seats at the adjacent table, and Hua Xiangrong led the little maidservant dressed as a scholar to sit down next to Yang Peng. The little maid looked at Yang Peng curiously with big eyes.
Yang Peng glanced at the little maid and asked with a smile: "Little sister, what are you looking at me like this, do you have flowers on my face?" ”
The little maid thought this person was so funny, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "There are no flowers on the child's face, the maid just looks at it again, has you seen the child?" ”
Yang Peng immediately became curious and asked, "Could it be that there are many sons who go to find your young lady?" The little maid nodded and said, "Yes! ......" Hua Xiangrong shouted urgently: "Don't be unreasonable!" The little maid had never been scolded so much by the young lady, so she couldn't help but be stunned, and then she looked very aggrieved with a burst of tears. Hua Xiangrong couldn't help but soften, and said warmly: "How noble is the identity of the eldest brother, it is really rude for you to talk to the eldest brother like this, you know?" The little maid nodded with a pout, "Got it!" ”
Hua Xiangrong turned around and said to Yang Peng apologetically: "Big brother, she has never seen the world, please don't be surprised if she is rude!" ”
Yang Peng waved his hand, looked at the little maid and said with a smile: "It's nothing strange, I think this little girl has a straightforward temperament, is very cute, and has an appetite for me!" ”
Hua Xiangrong couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Yang Peng looked at Hua Xiangrong and asked with a smile: "Why didn't Miss Hua stay in the painting boat to deal with those boys, but came to the teahouse?" ”
Hua Xiangrong glanced at Yang Peng with a strange expression, then lowered his head and whispered: "The concubine body is mixed with red dust, although she has a bit of a posture, but she is a good person, and the eldest brother naturally looks down on the concubine!" Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what she had just said made her misunderstood. In fact, Yang Peng didn't mean to look down on Hua Xiangrong at all, or didn't look down on the women in the Qinglou, but just thought that they were all pitiful. is different from modern society, in this era, if a woman does not have a sad past, who wants to live by selling jokes!
Yang Peng was about to explain, but the little maid said urgently: "Childe, don't look down on our young lady." Our young lady is also a poor person, she was originally the daughter of Lord Hua, and it was only because Lord Hua offended Master Pang that Miss fell into such a situation! Our young lady is very nice, she has adopted a lot of orphans! Then he pointed to his nose and said, "I'm one of them." ”
Yang Peng felt a little surprised, looked at Hua Xiangrong, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. Hua Xiangrong sneered at the little maidservant: "Don't talk too much in front of the big brother!" The little maid pouted, looking so aggrieved.
Yang Peng said: "I didn't expect Miss Hua to have such a kind heart, which is much more admirable than so many ladies!" Then he picked up the teacup and said, "I'll use tea instead of wine to toast Miss Hua!" Then it dried up. Hua Xiangrong only felt flattered, and hurriedly said: "I, how dare I!" Big, big brother, no, how can I be qualified to call you big brother! Yang Peng laughed, "What qualifications are not qualified!" If you want, just call me big brother, and I'll take you as a girl! Hua Xiangrong never dreamed that Yang Peng would recognize a person like herself as a girl, and looked at Yang Peng blankly. came back to his senses, shook his head shamelessly and said, "No, no, I, I'm a dirty Qinglou woman, I, I'm not worthy!" ”
The little maid said unconvinced: "It's not! Miss is the nicest person! Yang Peng smiled: "The little girl is right, if you have a kind heart, you are the best woman!" ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
