The next day, Bai Yixue said goodbye to Lu Jingyin and set off for the north. Qin Fangpei was reluctant in his heart, and sent him to the bottom of the mountain, and the two parted in tears.

Bai Yixue took the road all the way to the north, since the early autumn of last year, since the beginning of last year, so far finally set foot on the way home, thinking of the people and things he has experienced since his journey to the south, his heart is full of feelings, and then thinking of Mo Lingsha A few months ago he was also a person who went north alone, so far there is no sound of questions, and his mind is difficult to calm down for a long time.

He went all the way north, in the rainy season, the cuckoo chirped, along the way in the fields, rivers and lakes, tea plantations, farmers and village women wearing hats and wearing lilys, busy with agricultural work, a joyful scene of spring ploughing and toil. However, after crossing the Yangtze River and crossing the Huaishui, to the boundary under the rule of the Jin people, the scene was changed.

After entering the Golden Realm, I saw an endless stream of flat-headed ox carts, mule carts and donkey carts transporting grain and grass on land, and although most sections of the Tongji Canal had been blocked and cut off, some navigable sections of the river were also very busy. He took a closer look and saw that the ship was carrying grain and grass, and it was completely in a position to fight a big battle.

Bai Yixue thought to herself, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. On that day, at Zhao Wei's house, I heard Zhao Wei say that Yu Yunwen, the envoy of He Zheng, who was sent to the Jin State, saw this scene and wrote a recital to remind the imperial court to strengthen the defense of Huai and Hai. After thinking about it, I remembered that Wan Yan Liang had the words of watching Hua Luoyang in the rainy season, and I felt even more frightened.

All the way to the north, the spring rain continued, the road was quite muddy and difficult to walk, the convoys and ships transporting grain and grass along the way did not decrease in the slightest, and a large number of gold soldiers went south. Bai Yixue gets up every day, and does not stay in the guest house until it gets dark.

On this day, when you come to Teng County, you can turn around and go west in a few days. After days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Rao is young and strong, and he also has a sense of fatigue. I invested in a store in the city, and after meditating and pranayama that night, I fell asleep early.

After breakfast the next day, I called my shopkeeper to ask, and learned that there was a "Tengwang Pavilion" in the city, which was quite famous in the local area. There is also a Tengwang Pavilion in Hongzhou on Jiangnan West Road, because Wang Bo's "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" is famous all over the world, Bai Yixue can't help but feel very surprised, a shop companion, only to know that the Tengwang Pavilion here not only has a great origin, and the Tengwang Pavilion in Hongzhou is also quite related: during the Zhenguan period, Li Yuanying, the younger brother of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, was sealed in Teng County, so the name Teng Wang. This King Teng was arrogant and lascivious by nature, and built a lot of palaces and pavilions in the local area, including this King Teng Pavilion.

Li Yuanying was extremely poor and extravagant, and abused material and people's resources, which eventually caused great public indignation. In order to appease the gentry and the common people, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi demoted him to Suzhou as a assassin, and later transferred to Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) as the governor.

After Li Yuanying arrived in Hongzhou, the habits were difficult to change, and he hired skilled craftsmen in the local area, and built a Zhulou Cui Pavilion on the edge of the Ganjiang River. In order to commemorate his edict of Teng County, Li Yuanying also named it "Tengwang Pavilion". Although the Tengwang Pavilion in Hongzhou was built later, it was famous in the world because of Wang Bo's famous article "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion", and the reputation was far above the Tengwang Pavilion in Teng County.

Bai Yixue then asked the general location of King Teng's Pavilion, and took half a day to visit. Come to Tengwang Pavilion, see that Kui Pavilion from the pedestal majestically up, the pavilion is more than five zhang high, carved beams and painted columns, the yellow glazed tiles of the roof are under the irradiation of the rising sun, the flying pavilion Liudan, it is even more brilliant.

After traveling through the Tengwang Pavilion, the hour was still early, Bai Yixue walked in the city, thinking that there were other places of interest and historic sites in the city, so he asked a passer-by dressed as a scribe to inquire, only to know that this is not only the hometown of Mozi and Meng Weijun, but also the place where the great poet Qin Guan died and died.

He inquired again, and the Guanghua Pavilion where Qin Guan was drunk and died had long since disappeared, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Qin Shaoyou has had a bumpy career in his life, and he has been repeatedly belittled. When Huizong first ascended to the great treasure, he had amnesty the world, Qin Shaoyou was on the way back to the north, passing through here, he didn't want to be depressed, and unfortunately died drunk in the Guanghua Pavilion. It's a pity that he once wrote, 'Drunk and lying in the shade of the ancient vines, I don't know the north and the south.'" In the future, he died in Teng County, and it became a poem. ”

Bai Yixue wandered around the city aimlessly, and when he saw that it was almost noon, he chose a restaurant to eat. There were not many customers in the store, so he chose a seat by the window, ordered a few snacks, asked for a pot of wine, and poured himself a drink.

After three glasses of wine, the curtain moved, and three more men stepped into the store. The shopkeeper warmly welcomed the guests and sat down at another table by the window. The leader is a famous Han man, with a tall chest and a bulging belly, and a very burly figure. Look at the appearance and dress of the other two, one is a Jurchen, and the other is a Xi person. The three of them all hung their swords from their waists, and after entering the store, they were all in the government.

The Xi people belong to a branch of the Xianbei tribe of Donghu, and the Sui and Tang dynasties were active in the upper reaches of the Xilamulun River, and lived on hunting and animal husbandry for generations. After the Khitans established the Liao State, the Xi people befriended them and resisted the Jurchen conquest together. After the Liao State was destroyed, the Xi people who belonged to the Jurchen were reduced to slaves and incorporated into Meng'an Mouke to contribute to the expansion of the territory of Jinkai. Jin was a multi-ethnic state established by the Jurchen aristocracy, and for the first time in history, a dynasty with ethnic equality and no distinction between Yixia and Xia was proposed. After going through the Taizong and Xizong dynasties, to the Wanyan Liang Dynasty, the status of the Han people, Xi people and other ethnic groups has changed greatly, and among the prime ministers and consuls of the Golden Court, there are Han and Xi people, Khitans, and Bohai people on duty. Xi Ren Xiao Yu once served as the right prime minister and Zhongshu Ling, and won the trust of Wanyan Liang, which can be said to be in power.

After the three of them sat down, they ordered a large table of wine and food, and while eating and drinking, they became a whispered and confidential discussion. The Jurchens and Xi people were quite respectful to the Han people, and frequently toasted him, showing that the Han people had a higher position. Bai Yixue didn't care at first, but in the middle of the way, she suddenly heard the Han man whisper to Xi Ren: "Nirvana, that beautiful woman...... So spicy...... Captured...... White ...... The three people at ......the table laughed at the same time, which meant a lot of love.

The Han man's voice was low, and he had food in his mouth, and Bai Yixue heard it intermittently, but suddenly heard them talk about a pungent and beautiful woman, and his heart couldn't help but move, although it was almost impossible for Mo Lingsha, but he couldn't help but keep his heart, and immediately pretended to enjoy the street scene outside the window, and listened attentively.

The Xi man's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Brother Simon, if you can capture her and her comrades, you will be the first class credit." Such a beautiful woman gave it to me, do you give it to it, brother?"

The Han man surnamed Ximen had not yet answered, and the Jurchen man on the side smiled and said: "Nirvana picks up the slaves, you don't know the inside story." Brother Simon has a fierce tigress in his family, and even if he has this thief's heart, he doesn't have the courage to ...... this thief."

Nirvana's eyes widened, and he said curiously, "Tigress?

The Han and Jurchen people surnamed Ximen were stunned and laughed. Nirvana scratched her unkempt hair, looked puzzled, and asked, "Why are you two laughing so much?"

The Jurchen man said with a smile: "When Brother Ximen Gongliu was still a little white face, he raised this tigress, and I didn't expect that when she got older, her temperament would become so vicious, as long as she saw a young and beautiful little girl, she would pounce on it and tear and bite." It's just that Brother Simon has raised her for more than ten years and has a deep relationship, and now he is reluctant to kick her out. ”

Nirvana picked up the slave and was suspicious, and said, "Impeachment, are you serious?"

The Jurchen man raised the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and said with a smile: "You don't believe it? Ask Brother Simon himself, is what I said true?"

Nirvana turned her head, her eyes full of inquiry. Ximen Gongliu smiled bitterly: "The impeachment is right, every sentence is true. ”

Nirvana's eyes were full of sympathy, and he reached out and patted Ximen Gongliu's shoulder a few times to show relief, and said, "Brother Ximen, I have really suffered you all these years. If you can't do it, and you trust me, brother, I will come to your house another day and remove ...... for you."

Ximen Gongliu was startled, his hand shook, half a glass of wine was spilled on the table, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Lao's family affairs, I dare not have Brother Lao to make a move!"

Seeing Ximen Gongliu's demeanor, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "This matter will be discussed later, and it is important to do the right thing now." The three of them discussed for a long time before leaving. Bai Yixue vaguely heard that the purpose of the three's trip was to arrest the leader of a rebel army active near Teng County.

The Jin Dynasty was reckless in military force for many years, and the domestic service was very heavy, and the people were miserable and rose up to resist. During the period of Jin Taizong and Xizong, the domestic peasants continued to raise uprisings, and there were large-scale uprisings such as the Red Turban Army, Wang Hui, Zhang Gui, Liang Xiaoge, and Zhang Heng.

Since the end of Yan Liang's reform of Yuan Zhenglong, in order to prepare for the war against the Song Dynasty, more and more tyrannical labor has become rampant, almost all young and strong men in the country have been forced to serve in the military, and the people have been miserable. In the third year of Zhenglong (1158), Zhao Kaishan Uprising broke out on Shandong East Road, and the rebel army conquered Mizhou, Rizhao and other places one after another, and at the peak of its peak, the number reached more than 300,000 people, shaking the government and the opposition. In the spring of this year, the armed movement of Zhang Wang and Xu Yuan broke out in Haizhou, killing local officials of all sizes and gathering thousands of people.

Since Bai Yixue entered the gold realm, he had already heard of the rebel armies from all walks of life, and thought to himself that the leaders of the rebel army that Ximen Gongliu and the others wanted to arrest were all heroes of the grass who were not afraid of cruelty. After Ximen Gongliu and the others left, he immediately paid for the wine, followed him out of the city gate, and headed west.
