Volume 2 Mountains and Rivers Chapter 17 Chess outside the chess, the immortal among the people
Zhou Bomin and Ye Liuli were all shocked, there are countless tragic cases of unjust souls in the world, who can calm it, if this can become a great avenue, wouldn't it be beyond the avenue?
Suddenly I felt cold, like entering an ice cellar.
For a long time, Zhou Bomin looked at the mountains and rivers under his feet, and said slowly: "My people of Liyang are well-being here, if they become enlightened, everyone will build this avenue, and the world can be the same."
Ye Liuli was in a trance, not knowing where she was.
"Let's go", Zhou Bomin stretched out his finger and pointed to the bottom of the mountain, and the person next to him immediately stepped up, like a puppet.
Huang Longshi stared at the chessboard in front of him, his brows furrowed, scratching his ears and cheeks.
The old Taoist priest laughed: "Today, my stinky chess basket can be regarded as winning your hand." The words were proud, and I couldn't help humming a song, and the more I thought about it, the more proud I became, and the louder my voice became.
"Big brother, I'm done practicing."
A stupid boy broke into the door, saw the big bowl on the table, took it up and drank it, hit the chessboard and vibrate, the old Taoist squirted out a sip of wine, this collision, the chess pieces flipped around, fell down a lot, faintly black chess actually had the upper hand, Huang Longshi's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and was overjoyed, and twisted a chess piece and fell on the chessboard: "Haha, I won."
The old Taoist priest was dumbfounded and said: "How can it be counted if you don't count this, if you don't count it, let's have another plate."
"The chess pieces don't have to be on the chessboard, I have killed many of your generals, and if you lose, you will lose, what is the noise", in a blink of an eye, he saw Li Jingyun drinking his own wine, and quickly ripped it from his mouth.
"Ask him if he wants to go."
Li Jingyun drank his fill, pursed his lips and said: "Good wine, much better than pear blossoms."
Huang Longshi rolled his eyes and muttered, "Isn't it good enough to eat and drink me?"
The old Taoist priest said repeatedly: "That's that, this is the best Baihua Yulu, even if you have traveled all over the nineteen states, it is only here, Xiaoyou will go down the mountain with me, and I will ensure that you drink enough."
Huang Longshi scolded: "Are you still thinking about this? Li Jingyun, go and practice your sword."
When Li Jingyun heard this, he hurriedly turned around and escaped from the hut, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his body.
"Hey, don't tell him to go ......."
"What's the matter, he went to practice the sword by himself, what's the matter, come back again", said and rearranged the chessboard on the table.
The old Taoist priest sighed and said, "Jingyun, Jingyun, how about I give him a name, call him Jingxian?"
Huang Longshi said: "The name is cheap and easy to feed, and I'm afraid that the immortal is not going to call your ancestor from the ground."
Ye Liuli Zhou Bomin went down the mountain, I don't know where to go, Zhou Bomin looked at Ye Liuli, only to see that his eyes were empty, and worried: "Brother Ye has something on his mind?"
Ye Liuli woke up as if in a dream, and sighed: "I claim to be the first person below the Sword Immortal, today I know that I have been cultivating swords for more than ten years, and I don't even know what my own way is, and I have lived this scene in vain, alas, ......."
Zhou Bomin said: "Where is it, since you are a carefree disciple, cultivation is naturally the Tao, and the rules set by the ancestors can be changed if you can say it."
Ye Liuli laughed at herself and said: "There are hundreds of schools in the world, and now there is only one Confucian family left, where is the previous Tao?"
Zhou Bomin said: "Naturally, it is still in the White Deer Cave, all the people in the world, if everyone cultivates Confucian orthodoxy, the cultural context can be prosperous."
Ye Liuli was stunned when she heard this, and sighed: "That's right, miscellaneous is not as specialized, except for the Central Plains, there are still eighteen states, which can be prosperous."
When Zhou Bomin heard this, he was displeased.
"Where do you go next?".
"I heard that there is also a Dongting Academy on the side of Yuelu Mountain, and it is the Confucian Avenue that is being built, do you want to see Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Bomin said: "If you have nothing to do, let's go."
Ye Liuli said with a smile: "It's been a few months since I went, I have to prepare first, so as not to be ridiculed by people in the place, Brother Zhou, I'll go and change a few big horses and copper cars, so as not to make His Royal Highness the Prince of the World dust."
Zhou Bomin waved his hand and said: "Where is it, I am not for the people, how can the people think of me, even if I explore the people's situation along the way, my father always says that I am in the high pavilion, I don't know the suffering of the people in the world, go through it today, and see how the people of Liyang are doing."
Ye Liuli arched his hand slightly.
Zhou Bomin walked first and headed west, worried in his heart, not knowing what he would see along the way.
"The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated. Sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. The people are suffering from the prosperity, and the people are suffering from the death." There was a burst of singing in the mountains and forests, and Zhou Bomin listened carefully and was silent.
"What kind of song is this?", turned around and asked Ye Liuli.
Ye Liuli bowed his hand slightly: "It's a hillside sheep made by Zhang Ximeng."
"The people are suffering when they are prospering, and the people are suffering when they die", Zhou Bomin sighed and said: "What can I do?"
Ye Liuli shook his head.
"Let's go and see", go up the ridge, all the way up the mountain road is difficult to climb, eat a lot of ash, halfway up the mountain to see an old man, the old man wiped his sweat, sat on the ground panting, the firewood knife was put aside, and a small bundle of firewood was tied to his side.
Zhou Bomin said slightly angrily: "Such an old man, going into the mountains alone to chop wood, aren't your children distressed?"
Ye Liuli didn't answer.
Zhou Bomin stepped forward and said, "How is the old man?"
The old man said: "Alas, is it good and that's it, how good can it be, and not much worse, the two of you don't listen to the accent like locals?".
Zhou Bomin said: "Come from the Central Plains, come and see when you hear the singing."
"That's it, the old thing has lived for more than 60 years, and people who haven't heard such an accent must be Jiangnan Shizi", the old man's breath gradually stabilized, and he reached out to pick up the water hyacinth on the ground, and said, "Do you want to drink?"
Zhou Bomin frowned slightly and said, "Drink."
I took the kettle, poured it into my mouth, and felt a sweetness. wiped his mouth and handed the water hyacinth over.
The old man took it in his hand and pointed at Ye Liuli, Ye Liuli waved his hand lightly and said, "I'm not thirsty."
"I just heard the old man say that he has lived for more than 60 years, and I don't know if he has children under his knees?"
The old man said: "Yes, the two sons are now married to their daughters-in-law, and their grandchildren are half old", he said and smiled, comparing the height of his grandson.
Zhou Bomin said: "How can you teach the old man to go up this mountain alone?
The old man sighed and said: "The emperor's old thing is immortal, what kind of palace is he going to build in Lishan, and he caught a strong man three years ago."
Zhou Bomin was shocked in his heart, and said: "Isn't there an order from the imperial court to reduce the resignation? There is only one person from each family, how can you bring both of them to the forced service?"
The old man sneered and said: "Heh, the emperor thinks well, but the underground people don't think so, just take this Feng County as an example, each pavilion and each county has its own way, which family has more servitude, which family is considered to be a good ruler, in the words of the official master, that is, if the common people eat badly, how can there be so many servitudes, then naturally you can catch one and catch one, you can catch two, you can catch two, the emperor is above, and you will not check one by one, of course, I think that the people are rich, everyone is well fed and warmly dressed, there is an order at the top, and there are ten thousand mouths at the bottom."
When Zhou Bomin heard this, a cold breath broke down his back. It was as if someone had knocked him with a hammer in his head, but he shook it twice, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe in his nose, and he almost didn't get it.
Then I heard the old man say, " The song is sung well, the people are bitter, and the people are bitter, but in the past two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and they have eaten enough, and the old decay is struggling for two years, and when the sons come back, it will be much lighter, and it can be regarded as a hope, but, childe, you see, the pavilion on the mountain was built by the previous dynasty, and there is a section of the city wall to the east, which was a long time ago, the mountains and rivers under our feet are the Pangu Emperor who opened the sky, what people are suffering, when it is the same, the mountains and rivers rotate, the wind and the moon remain the same, the people are still those people, the things are still those things, the emperor is incompetent, the people are naturally bitter, when the dynasty changes, maybe the old grandson who is sitting here, hey, who can say clearly, this country will always be the people's country, it's just a different person to name him."
When Zhou Bomin heard this, he suddenly fell down as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face turned pale.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou......", Ye Liuli helped Zhou Bomin and hurriedly went down the mountain, the old man was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and he didn't know what happened to the person in front of him.
Ye Liuli ran wildly for more than 20 miles, and finally stopped in a small town.
Zhou Bomin struggled to open his eyes and said, "Brother Ye, where are you?"
Ye Liuli said: "This is Feng County."
When Zhou Bomin heard this, he fainted again.
I don't know how long it took, I woke up and heard someone in front of me: "Childe don't worry, this person in bed is tired and has a cold, I will prescribe a few medicines here to regulate his body."
Ye Liuli arched his hand and said: "I'm tired."
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the man drifted away.
Zhou Bomin struggled to get up from the bed, didn't say a word, and looked out the window in a daze.
Ye Liuli didn't know what to say, made two cups of tea, and handed Zhou Bomin a cup.
Zhou Bomin looked at the teacup and muttered: "My father said that the people are water, and the emperor is the boat, I have never understood what it means, but now I know that the boat will eventually part, but the water will always be water", said a sigh.
turned around and said, "Bother Brother Ye to find a pen and paper."
Ye Liuli turned around and went out when she heard this.
After a while, bring pen and paper.
Zhou Bomin put down the teacup and wrote with a pen.
"Playing the father's emperor, the sons of the ministers visited the people's suffering, there is a word that must be played, the sons of the ministers visited Fengxian County, Qingming Mountain, saw an old man chopping wood, and asked: "There are no children under the knees? , the holy merit is immeasurable, reduce the burden and reduce the burden, the people and ministers of the world are too speculative of the holy will, confuse the public, and have corrected their own merits, so please suspend the construction of Lishan Afang Palace, where the house is, for thousands of generations, not in a hurry, I hope that my father and emperor will think deeply, and my son Zhou Bomin will say it."
was about to hand it over to Ye Liuli and ask him to send it to this post station, after thinking about it, he crossed out a few words from his son, Zhou Bomin, and wrote: Minzhou Bomin.
Ye Liuli saw that he finished writing, and knew that it was inappropriate, so he held it in his hand for a long time, and hesitated: "I'm afraid this matter can't be done like this, it's better to ask Xie Weng to take a look at it first, and I'm making plans."
Zhou Bomin got up and paced for a long time, coughed twice, picked up the teacup, thought about it, and took out a seal for a long time, stamped it with a gold seal, and said: "Don't be late, you go to the post station here, tell them, eight hundred miles is urgent."
The horse rushed straight out of Feng County, with three military flags on his back.
As the sun set farther away, Zhou Bomin sat at the table, feeling even more apprehensive.
said: "If it doesn't rain, it's a natural disaster, and people don't do it, so officials here should be beheaded."
Ye Liuli said: "This is the emperor's family matter, and the small road dare not discuss it."
Zhou Bomin was displeased and said: "Everyone thinks that the emperor is a family matter, but the emperor also has the difficulties of the emperor, if you don't cut it, you can't calm the people's hearts, if you cut it, who will do it, alas, it's difficult to do, it's hard to do."
He also said: "The people will not say a word about the officials of the big and small here, but will only say that the current emperor is incompetent, and I am the third generation of the Liyang Dynasty, which dynasty is not dedicated to the best of his heart, painstaking blood, thinking that he is worthy of the people of heaven and earth, and now it seems that the bureaucratic ills have accumulated a lot, and it is not enough to be angry with the people!"
Ye Liuli said: "It doesn't matter if His Royal Highness doesn't kill the prince now, after all, he has no right in his hands, so let's wait for the will of the saint."
Zhou Bomin's heart was inappropriate, but he couldn't think of any way for a while, so he thought about it and said: "Go to the Nanshan Provincial Mansion first, and find the prefect here to settle accounts."
