The Three Kingdoms Chapter 57 Banquet
"His Royal Highness King Yin, what the national teacher wants, Lao Dao knows, it's not a troublesome thing, after a few days, I will go out for a walk and take a look, and I will do it with me." Wan Nianqiu did not have the slightest awareness of 'debt is the master'.
Zhou Zhengqing took out two jars of catching flowers and brewing, and didn't care whether it was in the Taoist temple at all: "The old Taoist priest is bold! I came empty-handed, but it is rude, and I have the right to leave you a thought, and next time I will look for someone who can get my hands on it."
If it is the rest of Jiuzhou, most of the Taoist priests are abstaining from alcohol, but in this Songyun Temple, there is no such rule. My husband said that two jars of good wine are enough for this old Taoist priest to work hard.
Cao Lianqing asked his master suspiciously: "Is this wine? The senior brothers always say that you can't drink, but there is no such rule in the appreciable!"
As he spoke, he walked over and stretched out his hand, wanting to hug a jar and take a closer look.
Wan Nianqiu sat on the stone bench with a straight face, grabbed an altar in one hand, and received an unknown artifact in the blink of an eye: "You are still young, and you will slowly understand it in the future, you can go and see for yourself the rules and regulations of your senior brothers who are not in the precepts." Don't worry about what you don't like, just keep what you like."
turned to look at Zhou Zhengqing again: "Given by His Royal Highness, the old Taoist dare not accept it, this gift is more considerate than the tattered scriptures that have been stained with dust all year round in the view"!
The heavy rain was still pouring, and the old Taoist priest watched the two go down the mountain.
The Daming ship that had been waiting for a long time stopped at Jianlan City, and Zhou Zhengqing and Lang Yuan set off again to go to Yongping Pass.
On the ship, Zhou Zhengqing had no time to rest, except for Shi Song, the general of Annan who he had never met, he had to look at the complicated situation in Lingbei Province again.
At least judging from the espionage reports in the archives over the years, there are many problems. Shi Song is not only the general of Annan who is in charge of the 150,000 eagle army, but also the position of the envoy of Lingbei Province and the assassin of Pingzhou. I don't see anything in itself, but herein lies the problem. Shi Song has been stationed here for more than ten years, and many of his soldiers have taken root here.
Over the years, Pingzhou, Kuozhou, Shaxi Prefecture, one after another, only in the seven years of Shuoxing, here by the day and night gods to grasp the real evidence to catch the enemy traitor there are 127 people, the greedy people are nearly 400. More than half of the officials, whether civilian or military, committed capital crimes.
Especially Pingzhou, after this incident, it was reduced by one-fifth of the officials, if it weren't for the transfer of many lower-level officials in the state school, the Ming Dynasty did its best to deal with the situation, I am afraid that Pingzhou would face a chaotic situation for a long time.
This led to the government and the opposition calling the three states of Lingbei Province as the state of crime, the state of punishment, and the state of detention. And between Xiangliucheng and Xiye, this section of the only way to be transferred to Lingbei Province is called the Wandering Road, and those who take office are like exiled prisoners.
Many literati and writers denounced Lingbei Province for ten years, demanded the rectification of the rule of officials, and were ashamed of being inscribed on the three states of retention, punishment, and detention. The Xiangliu Building, which was originally not famous, became famous, and turned into a coquettish guest before going to Lingbei Road, leaving a place to vent his frustrated writing in officialdom, with gorgeous rhetoric and mighty rhetoric. There are also those who came here on purpose to express their admiration. A lonely courage turned into melancholy, and he wrote poems and poems.
That sentence comes from the mouth of Jin Yun, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University in the current dynasty, "Since then, the same stream has been resenting me, and the soul of Lingbei is full of camps", which is rumored to be the most widely circulated sentence in the poem of going to Lingbei written in the corner of a certain pillar of Xiangliulou when Jin Yun was released.
After Jin Yun was recalled to Kyoto to serve as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, his original casual remarks made him a household name and wore a gorgeous hat of 'liver and gallbladder'.
That time, Shi Song returned to Beijing to report on his work, and saw Jin Yun jumping outside the palace gate, and entertained this golden monkey who did not know the height of the sky. After that, every time he saw Shi Song again, Jin Yun greeted him with a smile, and did not invite the old general to Hangtong Tower for a drink, he did not dare to go out all day, and the holy decree was not at the door, and he was all called sick at home. As for where the money comes from, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the family doesn't talk to the two families, and they go to the father-in-law to get it, even if they are locked out of the door by their daughter-in-law for a few days in a row, this matter must not be repented of.
In the evening, the original shower began to drain again, and the palace of General Annan in Yongping Pass was not lively.
Zhou Zhengqing sat in the first place, and Langyuan sat second on the left. In the army, the old general Shi Song sat first on the right, and the family also sat separately.
General Annan, Lingbei Province Jiedu Envoy, Pingzhou Thorn Shi Song.
Zhou Zhengqing remembered his dossier deeply, Shi Song was not ignorant of the affairs of the immortal family, and took the path of humane cultivation. For the generals in the Ming Dynasty, although it is not low, it is not profound, and it is barely enough.
Nearly 100 years old, decades of hard work, and now in the border of Pingzhou, he is a civil official in a state with the name of Pingzhou's assassin history. In addition to the name of a Lingbei Province Jiedu envoy, the entire Lingbei Province civil and military affairs are mostly headed by him.
There are three sons and one daughter under his knees, and the youngest son Shi Huaigong started a family and served in the Ministry of Industry, so that the old general has a full house of children and grandchildren. The eldest son Shi Huaiwen apprenticed to the Luzong Sect, and the second son Shi Huailiang visited overseas to seek immortals.
It's just that the youngest daughter Shi Bao made up and became a monk in Huaying Zen Temple, which really broke the hearts of this old couple.
Shi Huaigong married Wang Yuanmei's queen Wu Wei again, and let Shi Song be a generation younger among the old brothers.
"His Royal Highness King Yin, the affairs of the Ming Dynasty are busy, and I have to bother you to come and run in person, which really makes the soldiers grateful in their hearts! Many soldiers have rushed to Yazui a few days ago, and the last general will also set off today, and they dare not drink, and when the war is over, they will drink with His Royal Highness." Shi Song, who was already wearing armor, tall, with an angular face, but just looked like a fierce general, got up and picked up the teacup and drank it all.
Zhou Zhengqing got up and also picked up the teacup: "I also replace wine with tea, the old general doesn't have to be polite."
Zhou Zhengqing squinted, on such an occasion, in fact, he didn't need armor. Even if you have to leave, it doesn't take a lot of time to get dressed. This outfit is just for himself, and the soldiers here are all guarding the land of the Ming Dynasty with their lives. Spread out, Shi Song covered the banquet with armor, and King Yin made a strong trip with tea, which is a good name.
"Your Royal Highness, Miss Langyuan, I will stay in the mansion today, and let Lang'er take the two of you around tomorrow." The middle-aged plump beauty beside Shi Song got up, and her voice was soft like water.
"Then I'm not welcome, and I'm going to bother the house." Zhou Zhengqing replied with a smile.
For this middle-aged beauty, Zhou Zhengqing knows something, she is Shi Song's second wife Pang Luo, born in Xiaochong Island, Xiazhou is in the East and overseas, after the death of the Yu Kingdom, it also came under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.
"Lang'er has been smart since he was a child, although he is not as refined as His Highness, he should be able to be a companion with His Highness." Pang Kou still whispered softly.
The handsome son on the side stood up and saluted, his facial features were like jade carvings, and his angular face was extremely handsome: "Shi Tuan has seen His Royal Highness, you can call me Yulang, and I will take you to visit this Yongping Pass tomorrow."
"The little boy is handsome, and if he really lives up to his reputation, I have heard a lot in Kyoto, and I don't know how many young ladies miss you!" Zhou Zhengqing clapped his hands and praised.
As early as after taking his seat, Zhou Zhengqing had already noticed that this 'famous' Jiangmen boy was indeed worthy of his reputation.
Now Shi Song's three sons and one daughter are all from Shi Song's first wife, Hu Hanzhi, and this Shi Tuan is Shi Song's eldest grandson, nicknamed Yulang.
"This Yulang in my family is the most like Hanzhi, and this time I heard that I was going to lead the troops, so I rushed over. If there is anything inappropriate, Your Highness, please bear with me." Shi Song looked at the wine on the table, but never reached out to pick up the wine glass.
"What did the old general say, the little boy is sensible, you who are a little older, you always feel that your sons are not angry, in fact, you are just too worried." Zhou Zhengqing didn't look very happy.
"In this case, I will thank Your Highness. The hour is almost up, and the last general will say goodbye, and His Highness should take a good look at this Yongping Pass." Shi Song got up and walked out of the table to salute.
"May the general return be triumphant". Zhou Zhengqing also got up and saluted.
Zhou Zhengqing moved, and the people in the whole house got up and marched in unison: "May the general triumph."
As soon as Shi Song left, the banquet was quickly dispersed, Pang Luo dragged Lang Yuan, saying that he wanted to talk about some women's things, and Zhou Zhengqing was accompanied by the Yulang son.
It's just that Lang Yuan still called Zhou Zhengqing, wanting to avoid people and quietly ask a few words, but before he could say it, Zhou Zhengqing took the lead in speaking: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know it in my heart."
Lang Yuan looked at Zhou Zhengqing, with a serious expression, so he didn't say anything more and followed Pang Luo for a walk.
Zhou Zhengqing naturally knew what had just happened, and the kind of malice from all directions was very familiar.
In this general's mansion, there were at least twenty monks lying in ambush just now, and I am afraid that if General Shi Song drank wine, he would immediately rush out and kill His Royal Highness King Yin on the spot.
This kind of situation, except for the ship when he returned to Beijing that day, Zhou Zhengqing experienced it for the first time.
It's just that Zhou Zhengqing knows better that Shi Song probably didn't expect Langyuan to leave the palace together and come to Pingzhou, a remote border. The news here is very tight, and it is impossible to reveal the slightest rumor. A monk from the Listening Rhyme Realm was present, and it was absolutely impossible to kill people with the help of the twenty or so monks who had not yet touched the threshold of the Listening Rhyme Realm.
And if you miss a blow, the two of you are on guard, and there is no possibility of a second time. Listening to the perception of the rhyme, it is not difficult to cover this Yongping Pass, and if you want to kill someone, even if the purpose is successful, you will make a big move, and you can't hide the eyeliner of all parties.
Moreover, Zhou Zhengqing asked himself, when he went out of Beijing with Langyuan, how could he not have the support of the Japanese Wandering God in the hands of the national teacher?
Day and night, there are 1,200 wandering gods, and there are 300 wandering gods alone. The huge power of those three thousand days and nights wandering gods was even more terrifying than that of a large immortal sect. Because they all listen to the command of one man, and there is no possibility of rebellion.
