Chapter 182: The Past of the Northern Zhou Dynasty

It turned out that the person who reported the target was the one that the master had arranged to prepare for the magistrate, and he had accidentally slept before, and when the drum sounded, he woke up ignorantly, and happened to meet Zhao Lanjiang shooting arrows. But this person's eyes are not very good, and he saw that the red-clothed Night Rain Concubine blocked it with marbles, which was mistaken for a pre-agreed code, so there was that scene.

The referee said expressionlessly: "Pass the test!"

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "I'll just say, I believe in my brother, Miss Ye, who is willing to lose the bet, I don't think you should be able to repay the debt, right?"

Concubine Yeyu knew that her marbles had shot down Zhao Lanjiang's arrows, but who would have expected such a change, but this hateful guy was still talking cool words on the side, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

"Who just said that gambling is illegal?"

Xiao Jinyan defended, "As the saying goes, a small gamble is pleasant, but a big gamble hurts the body, I thought about it carefully, this money is not a little money for Miss Ye, it is not a crime, it is not a crime, it is not a crime!"

The crowd was in a hurry.

Concubine Yeyu's face was ugly, she couldn't wait to give Xiao Jinyan, a poor-mouthed guy, an arrow, but she couldn't do it, seeing that everyone was staring at her, she took out ten taels of silver from her arms and was about to throw it on the ground, when she suddenly turned her eyebrows, thought about it, and turned around to give a few words to the accompanying servant.

Xiao Jinyan said, "What's the matter, Miss Ye is going to be a person who breaks her word and gets fat? However, you are indeed a little fat." ”

Concubine Yeyu said angrily, "Money, do you want it." ”

"It's cute baby fat. Xiao Jinsheng was afraid that she would regret it, so he hurriedly changed his words. Concubine Yeyu said, "Then wait." ”

After a stick of incense, I saw that Na Hu Cong was carrying a big basket with two porters, and the walking posture of the porters was very difficult, which showed that the things contained in it were not light.

Xiao Jinyanqi said: "What is this, just give money, we don't want local products!"

Concubine Yeyu ordered someone to put the basket in front of him, and said, "Ten taels of silver, every two thousand wen, a total of 100,000 yuan, come, you count and see if there is any problem." ”

Xiao Jinyan said in his heart that you are ruthless, and he actually thought of this method, "We are gambling on silver, and you use copper coins to fool us?"

Concubine Yeyu said, "The Ming Dynasty has a thousand texts and a tael, this is a serious amount of money, and now here, if you don't want it, I will ask someone to carry it back." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "I'll just reluctantly accept it, okay." ”

Concubine Yeyu said, "That's not good, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, one more son, one less child, don't pay a hundred taels, you have to count it on the spot, otherwise don't want to take away a penny." ”

That's 100,000 dollars!

If there are 10,000 divine beasts galloping in Xiao Jinyan's heart, even if he counts two breaths, three thousand six hundred breaths per hour, the 100,000 yuan will be counted, and he will not eat or drink for nearly a day and a night.

Concubine Yeyu saw that his face was embarrassed, "How, if you don't agree, just don't say it, come here, carry the copper coin back!"

Seeing the duck in his hand, how could Xiao Jinyan let it fly away, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll count!"

Concubine Night Rain gave a thumbs up, "Go up!"

Li Chengcheng showed a sympathetic look in his eyes, and he also wondered, why did Xiao Jinyan agree to such an impertinent request, Xiao Jinyan's idea was quite special, and he was probably scared. He secretly said in his heart, if the wealth of the Li family is exchanged for copper coins, let Xiao Jinyan count, and count it to the next life, he can't help but smile.

The game continues.

Xiao Jinyan had no intention of watching the battle, so he moved the basket to a secluded place, ignoring off-site matters with both ears, and only counting life-saving money.

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred.

Every thousand texts are strung together with a hemp rope for one hanging.

After counting less than three thousand texts, Xiao Jinyan only felt dizzy, his eyes were full of stars, and he leaned against the pillar and gasped.

Arrow Gongzi watched the Huiyi Arrow Conference, felt very bored, and found Xiao Jinyan in a place, and when he saw Xiao Jinyan strike, he wondered, "Why don't you count?"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "This is the first time I feel that having more money is not necessarily a good thing. ”

The arrow boy was stunned, "Just this little money, also called Qianduo?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Money is such a thing, it's really amazing, when I was in Dengwen Academy, I didn't think money was so important, tens of thousands of taels, hundreds of thousands of taels, and it was spent in the blink of an eye." However, when I was in Suzhou, I didn't have enough clothes and food, so I thought that if I had 180 Wen, I could eat a full meal and drink a pot of spirits, which would be a happy thing in life. Money can't buy happiness, and if you don't have money, you can't be happy. ”

Seeing Xiao Jinyan, the arrow boy sighed with emotion, the things in this guy's head are always different, with his martial arts, he can't make money by doing something, but he doesn't do this, he doesn't do that, it's really incomprehensible.

She said, "If you are really short of money, you might as well follow me in the future." ”

"What for?"

"Help people solve troubles, in this world, there are so many troubles, either spend money to solve them, or solve them with your life, or spend money to solve them with your life. ”

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "Killing people is a pure thing, if it is linked to money, wouldn't this world be chaotic?"

Arrow Gongzi said, "I did a vote in the Northern Zhou and earned 100,000 gold. ”

"With so much money, how many people do you have to kill?"

"One. ”

Xiao Jinyan got up with a gripped face, her eyes shining, "Four Treasure Girl, no, boss, are you still recruiting?"

The arrow boy sneered, completely amused by Xiao Jinyan. This guy seems to be not serious, and sometimes he is serious. It seems a little silly, but it's silly, and it's a little cute.

She sighed, "It's a pity, after the matter was completed, the employer repented and sent someone to hunt me down, but instead of asking for money, I was forced to wander the rivers and lakes and fled to the Central Plains." ”

Xiao Jinyan heard about this for the first time and said, "It seems that this industry is not very stable. ”

Arrow Gongzi took a deep breath, showed a resolute look in his eyes, and said, "This money, one day, I will get it back." ”

"I'll interject and ask you, who is willing to spend 100,000 taels of gold to hire you to kill someone? If it is a matter of your professional ethics and privacy, I will not ask. ”

Gongzi Jian sneered, "The current regent of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is targeting the former emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Tuoba Run. In order to kill him, I prepared for three months, and waited for seven days and seven nights on the Yanhui Tower three hundred zhang north of the Northern Zhou Palace, and finally on August 15, when Tuoba ran and climbed the Paradise Pagoda to admire the moon, I locked the arrow anchor on him and released an arrow. The little emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne, and Tuoba climbed as he wished to become the regent, but he forced me out of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. ”

Gongzi Jian has only been with Xiao Jinyan for a few days, and he is not familiar with him, over the years, she has rarely spoken to outsiders, for some reason, the man in front of him seems to be extremely reassuring, so she told him these words.

Xiao Jinyan gasped.

"Obediently, kill an emperor with one arrow, this cow is enough for you to blow for a lifetime. ”

As a party, the arrow boy was only entrusted to do what she had to do, but this arrow changed the fate of the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, the little emperor was young, and after ascending the throne, he could not handle political affairs, so Tuoba climbed an alliance with the empress dowager and killed the four major ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The thirty-three-year-old Empress Dowager ascended the Renji Hall to listen to the government, and the foreign affairs were controlled by the regent. In the past few years, the little emperor has grown in grade, and will be fourteen years old next year, according to the rules, the regent should gradually hand over the power, but the regent is firmly in control and refuses to return it, resulting in the Northern Zhou court, divided into two factions, the royalist faction and the regent faction.

The perennial infighting exhausted the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou army, which was originally able to fight in the Heishui River and Phoenix Ridge, retreated all the way north under the step-by-step camp and slow advance and encroachment of Xue Huai, the king of Pingbei, and almost retreated to Shenxian Ditch.

Xue Huai, the king of Pingbei, is also a wonderful person.

As one of the two generals on the same level as Yuwen Tianlu, he has guarded northern Xinjiang for 40 years and has stood tall after three dynasties. Over the years, he has never won a battle, and he has never lost a battle. Whenever the Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded the south, he would collect his troops and retreat in the city, refusing to respond to the battle, and he carried out the practice of clearing the wilderness, so that the other side returned in vain; after the Northern Zhou army retreated, he sent troops to recover the lost territory and rebuild the defenses. This point made the Northern Zhou God of War Tuoba Niuren, who was a royal family, unable to do anything, and finally became depressed, leaving a sentence "The Turtle King misunderstood me", vomiting blood and dying. Therefore, the king of Dingbei was nicknamed the turtle prince in the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Xue Huai also has one thing that people talk about, that is, after being crowned king, in order to prevent the "gong" from shaking the lord and avoiding the emperor's suspicion, almost every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival, he will not be able to move to the court, either asking to cut the feudal domain and hand over the military power, or asking the court to send overseers to visit in person, in addition, he also built the prince's mansion in the capital, and transported his eldest son Xue to the capital, nominally for his father's loyalty, but in fact he was sent to the capital as a hostage. Therefore, there are clouds in the capital, and this Pingbei King is also known as the "Three Kings". Of course, the emperor always feigned anger, rebuked him a few words, and then admonished him to be diligent and faithful, and not to be tired.

It is precisely with such a king of Pingbei that the Ming Dynasty did not lose an inch of territory even in the Battle of Jingyan, when the country was in danger.

On the other hand, the metropolitan governor Yuwen Tianlu fought in the south and the north, invincible, invincible, and everywhere he went, a piece of scorched earth, opened up the territory, and made great contributions to the emperor of Tiantong. To the west, taking advantage of the death of the Emperor of Western Chu, he recovered the nineteen cities of Yinyang; to the west, the army of 100,000 troops drove straight in, besieged the imperial city of Dongyi, and almost wiped out the country, and later the Emperor Dongyi led his people out of the city to surrender; to the south, he drove the six countries of the Nanban to the south of the swamp of 100,000, so that the power of the Ming Dynasty reached its peak.

Yuwen Tianlu made such a contribution, and the emperor was only crowned an Anguo duke, not a king. This point made Yuwen Tianlu's subordinates very dissatisfied, Xue Huai had no military achievements, the second was greedy for money and lustful, and he had a straw bag, why could he be crowned the prince, but the governor of the capital could only be named the duke, every time he heard this kind of remarks, Yuwen Tianlu severely reprimanded, and often said in front of people, "I am not as good as Huaigong." ”
