102 CHAPTER XXXV. 02
Wu Baoqi said: "I have made such a trip to the north and south, how can I not hear your gossip? I just said that unrelated people can be killed, but it has nothing to do with the gossip of the Chaos Alliance, and I don't just want to say that you have done something that should not be done." ”
Qu Lingyu said, "Master, you scared me to death. Those who are rumors and gossip will never say a good word about the Chaos Alliance, I really don't know what you have heard. ”
Wu Baoqi said: "In this matter, there are all innocent people in the world, and they can all kill them justifiably." You will definitely be able to meet this kind of person who acts cruelly and unkindly under the banner of a very nice one, and remember to learn to distinguish and not fall for them. Qingliu, your father-in-law, Mr. Jiang, may not know this truth, but he will not tell you, he always thinks that he is a scholar, and refuses to say these outrageous words, even if these words are all true. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "Master, do you mean that my father, my Uncle Zhang, and they are all using a nice banner to kill innocents indiscriminately?"
Wu Baoqi ignored this remark, but said: "This truth, or crooked reason, the three of them understood much earlier than me." We've been drinking for so many days, are we all drinking for nothing? That's all what we said at the time. ”
Qu Lingyu said, "Why haven't they told me about it?"
Wu Baoqi said: "What's so strange about this? You are still young and a girl, they don't want you to be involved too deeply, for fear of bringing you to the bottom." But I didn't expect that there are some things that should be said. Knowing this truth, it is not necessary to do evil under the banner of good, but also to distinguish the wicked, and not to fall for the wicked. ”
"There are too many people in this world to kill. If you want to kill happily, you don't necessarily have to go to sea, can't you kill happily on the shore? Okay, let's not talk about that. I went to sea to kill people, because I didn't want to have too much negotiation with the Central Plains warriors, I didn't want to take care of their affairs, and it wasn't that there was no one to kill in the Central Plains. The wicked people of the Central Plains have to be killed by themselves, so why should I do all the trouble? They are unwilling to kill the wicked, so they can only let the wicked do evil. I heard Master Kushui say, later, what did your Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wu write in the restaurant, and you met the emperor of the Xia Kingdom?"
Qu Lingyu said: "How can it be so easy? This is all made up by those boring literati. They said that the two uncles wrote on the wall of the restaurant, 'Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao came to drink here', and they were arrested to see Tuoba Yuanhao, and the crime was that they did not avoid the words 'Yuan' and 'Hao'. said that when he saw Yuan Hao, Uncle Zhang laughed at Yuan Hao for not even figuring out his surname, but he wanted to care about his own name, which was really ridiculous, Yuan Hao was shocked and looked at the two uncles differently. Isn't that nonsense?"
"If you catch any person, you have to send it to Tuoba Yuanhao to see, are people so idle? If Xia Guo really pays attention to what evasion, those two uncles have seen Yuan Hao and become big officials in Xia Tian, how can they still be called Zhang Yuan Wu Hao again?"
"The person who made up this gossip, first, wanted to laugh at Xia Guo for being too small, the emperor could know all the big and small things, and he also joked that there was no one in Xia Guo, and anyone who met a literate person could be regarded as a treasure. joke Uncle Zhang, although he can be a master in Xia Kingdom, if he really wants to return to Zhao and Song, he still can't even pass the Jinshi exam for them. When Uncle Zhang heard this fabrication, he just laughed. ”
"It took more than ten years for the two uncles to be able to speak by Tuoba Yuanhao's side from the time they entered the Xia Kingdom. Uncle Zhang first planned a few small battles, and led troops to invade Zhao Song, all of which were able to win more with less, and fought simply and happily. It was also at this time that the monarchs and ministers of the Song State knew that there were two fallen sons, Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who had become the ministers of the Xia State, and there were all kinds of rumors. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "At this point, it can be regarded as a sulking. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "The Zhao Song government arrested Uncle Zhang's family and locked them up in Suizhou, trying to force Uncle Zhang to come back. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "This is too shameless, I dislike the people I don't like, and I don't allow them to go elsewhere to beg for food." ”
Wu Baoqi said: "In the eyes of Emperor Zhao and Song, all the people in the world are working animals, and the emperor wants your life for no reason, where do they care about it." ”
Qu Lingyu said: "They didn't expect that Uncle Zhang could take advantage of this incident to humiliate Zhao Song Junchen. He forged an edict from Emperor Zhao and Song, asked Uncle Shi Han to take the fake edict, took people to Suizhou, deceived all his relatives, traveled more than 1,000 miles, and arrived in Xia Kingdom safely. ”
"When the chariot and horse came to the Xia Kingdom, Uncle Zhang's Uncle Wu had a feast on the Xia and Song borders, and greeted his relatives with songs and dances. It is estimated that he also knows that he is at a loss, and he has fear in his heart. This is also that they are quite well-behaved and interesting, Uncle Zhang has secretly hidden the ambush soldiers that day, if they dare to go over, they will have to suffer a big loss. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "With so many people, they can travel more than a thousand miles in the Song Realm with a fake edict? ”
Qu Lingyu said: "That fake edict is just a pretense. Uncle Shi Han led the team in this matter, leading Uncle Shi Wen, two Shaolin rebel monks, and some first-level city lords in Northwest Hebei, there were more than ten people. ”
"They first disguised themselves and went into the city, and first abducted the Zhizhou, Zhubo, and county lieutenants of Suizhou, and then went to the prison to ask for people. Those officials are all very shrewd, who doesn't know that life is good? On weekdays, they talk and write articles, and they are more loyal and brave to the Zhao Guan's family, it is very like they can be willing to die three times or five times, and once a knife is placed on their necks, they will show their original form. Although he knew that Zhao Guan's family did not have such good intentions, he would let Uncle Zhang's family go, knowing that the edict was fake, but they all made mistakes and regarded the fake edict as the real edict. ”
"Uncle Shi Han led people to escort the family members to the west, and Uncle Shi Wen led people to watch those officials in Suizhou. It wasn't until half a month later that they learned that the convoy had crossed the border safely that the officials were released. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "This matter is also comparable to Guan Yun's five levels and six generals." ”
Qu Lingyu said: "The Zhao and Song officials are afraid that if they say it directly, they will lose their face as officials, so they say that those who are officials just have eyes and no beads, and they can't tell the truth from the false edict, and they don't say that they are afraid of fooling the emperor to death, and they have no loyalty to Emperor Zhao." Even if they are embarrassed, they want to look good, and they have to hide from others and refuse to tell the truth. ”
After this incident, Tuoba Yuanhao was truly convinced of the two uncles, and appointed Uncle Zhang as the Taishi of the Xia Kingdom, Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling, and appointed Uncle Wu as the privy deputy envoy. After that, Uncle Zhang planned the Battle of Sanchuankou and the Battle of Haoshuichuan, in a word, it was a great victory for Xia and a great defeat for Zhao and Song. Uncle Zhang even left poems on the battlefield, and wrote a proclamation on behalf of Tuoba Yuanhao, fiercely mocking those generals and ministers of Zhao and Song. I can still remember a sentence, called 'Xia Sa He Zengsa, Han Qi is not surprised', although it is not a great famous sentence, the ridicule is quite appropriate. ”
Wu Baoqi said: "If you can get out of your anger to such a point, you can be regarded as living up to the talent in your chest." Your Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wu, have their grievances calmed down?"
Qu Lingyu said: "Uncle Wu is fine, but Uncle Zhang said that if he can't destroy Zhao Song in this life and recover Hou Zhou, he will not be blind." ”
Wu Baoqi said: "Your father thinks the same way?"
Qu Lingyu said: "My father just said that he has a breath of air, and he has to be embarrassed with Zhao Song to the end, otherwise he will be sorry for Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou." In his life, he was consumed with the surname Zhao, but he didn't say anything like death. ”
"The territory of Hou Zhou was far inferior to today's Zhao and Song dynasties, but Emperor Shizong conquered the south and the north, and the sixteen states of Yanyun had recovered the two states and three passes, but unfortunately he died of a serious illness on the road. The young emperor succeeded to the throne at the age of seven, who thought that the conscience of the two Zhao Kuangyin brothers was lost, bullying the orphans and widows, and a month later launched a mutiny in Chenqiao, seized the country's country, and killed the young emperor. Where is there a little bit of humanity in this kind of person? It's not even as good as a pig or a dog. ”
"When they were powerless to fight against the Liao State and signed the Tanyuan Alliance, the people of the sixteen states were all chilled. These things only know that they hide and enjoy themselves, and let the Han people in the sixteen states fall into the hands of foreign races. The reason why my father wanted to embarrass with Zhao Song was to embrace Emperor Shizong's kindness to my grandfather, and he also couldn't look down on these people surnamed Zhao, and wanted to re-support the Great Zhou Dynasty and rescue the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun. The Han people in Liao are really not easy, and they have to be bullied by the Khitans everywhere. ”
Wu Baoqi said: "You set up this chaotic alliance just to do this?"
Qu Lingyu said: "That's for this." This was mostly my father's idea, and Uncle Zhang's Uncle Wu also agreed with it, and Uncle Zhang recommended my father to meet Yuan Hao, and he also got an official son of a privy deputy envoy. For this official, my father didn't pay attention to it at all, and just wanted to use it to win the trust of the Xia monarchs. My father is their privy deputy, and even in the Chaos League, there are not many people who know about this. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "Dog Meat Monk, Broken Door Monk, Xiao Mofeng, Gu Yu and others also have official positions?"
Qu Lingyu said: "Some have, some don't. However, whether they are official or unofficial, only they know about it, and others don't know about it. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "Isn't this a lie?"
Qu Lingyu said: "Of course it's a lie, but it's only a lie to those who are willing to be deceived." ”
"Uncle Zhang was in the Xia Kingdom, won the trust of Tuoba Yuanhao, and trained soldiers and horses; my father used the name of the Chaos People's League in the Song Realm to co-opt and subdue various gangs and sects, extort gold and silver, in order to weaken the financial strength of Zhao and Song, and even more wanted to provoke a popular uprising. Once the Xia State sends troops, this side will send ambush troops as an internal response. ”
Uncle Wu took advantage of the official status of Xia State to run around the Liao State, trying to provoke the Liao and Song Dynasty to move troops, even if he could not call the two families to fight, he would increase the suspicion of both sides, and ask the surnamed Zhao to pay more tribute to the Liao State. At the same time, he also tried to eliminate the disputes between the two countries in Liaoxia, and strived to be able to rise both inside and outside the three parties, so as to make Zhao Guan's family look good. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "What about those Uighur monks and Tubo tantric masters, what is going on?"
Lingyu said: "These people are all sent by Tuoba Yuanhao, nominally under the control of my father, but they are really difficult to control. Fortunately, they also have to benefit their own clan, and they will sincerely help Xia Guo make trouble in the Song Realm. If Xia Song can fight endlessly, he will not be able to conquer them. ”
Wu Baoqi said: "How many people are there in the Chaos Alliance?"
Qu Lingyu said: "The number of people is not very large, less than 2,000 people, and there are less than 200 people who can be famous, most of them are heads and leaders like Lin Fang, outstanding people from various gangs and factions. As for the ordinary sectarians below the gangs, they can't be included in the roster, so it's hard to say how many people the Chaos Alliance can mobilize. ”
Wu Baoqi said: "There can be fifty talents like Shi Han and Shi Wen, which is enough to sensationalize the rivers and lakes." What did you all do?"
Qu Lingyu said: "I didn't do anything, just subdued the gang and extorted gold and silver." ”
Wu Baoqi said: "What is the purpose of going to Xiaolong Valley to grab books?"
Qu Lingyu said: "There is a minister in Xia who is called Wuzang Pang, this person has a sister who is Yuan Hao's concubine, and he also gave birth to a son to Yuan Hao, who is very favored. This person is very wrong with my Uncle Zhang, so he slandered me, saying that my father was not effective in disturbing the Song Realm, and that Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wu were not loyal enough to the Xia Kingdom, and just wanted to use the power of the Xia Kingdom for their own personal interests. His words cannot be said to be false. ”
"In order to stop the rumors, my father ordered the brigade to go south to grab the books. I thought that the strength of the Bao family in Xiaolong Valley was weak, but I didn't expect to encounter a strong enemy called Yixuetang to intervene from it. Not to mention that the book was not grabbed, Uncle Shi Wen was framed again in Xia Kingdom, and even Uncle Zhang was imprisoned. We had to rush back to Western Xia, rob the prison to rescue Uncle Shi Wen, and also exonerate Uncle Zhang. Master, without your permission, I took Uncle Shi Wen to Wanghai Zhuang to hide. "I told you all about it.
Chu Qingliu said: "There is one thing that I don't understand very well. Your father's people, after receiving the kindness of Hou Zhou, looked down on the behavior of Zhao Kuangyin's family, and sympathized with the suffering of the Han people in Sixteen Prefectures, so they had to recover Hou Zhou and be embarrassed by Zhao Song. Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao have nothing to do with Hou Zhou, why do they have to go all out to restore Hou Zhou?"
Wu Baoqi said, "What's so hard to understand? Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao were born under the rule of Zhao Song, and their grandfather and father were the subjects of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Now in Zhao and Song Dynasty, there are thousands of such people. Zhao Song's world, after all, was snatched from the hands of Hou Zhou, and it was so unbearable, they followed Brother Qu to play the big banner of recovery Hou Zhou, but they stood still, and the surname Zhao family couldn't say it. This trick is very clever. ”
Xiang Qu Lingyu said: "You send Shi Wen to Wanghaizhuang, it's nothing, and your master is not a person who is afraid of things." I'm just wondering, what are you going to do in the future?"
