Chapter 40: The Emperor's Decision
Hearing that the emperor said that he was going to kill them, Lord Liu hurriedly knelt down: "The saints must not, they are all a group of chivalrous, loyal and filial people, and they must not be ......" Before he could finish speaking, the emperor waved his hand: "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." "Helped Lord Liu up with one hand: "The second way is to unify these forces and bring them all under the management of the imperial court, so that the situation of the second Mingjiao can be avoided, and I can feel more or less at ease." ”
"In my humble opinion, the second method you just mentioned is absolutely feasible, put them all within the court, give them some rewards, and they will definitely serve the court wholeheartedly. And it can also let them share the difficulties of the imperial court, Kanto is located in a remote area, although there is a town Liao Duwei, in fact, it is a drop in the bucket, this time with them, Kanto is worry-free. ”
"How should the affairs of this official be distributed?" The emperor and Lord Liu walked into the pavilion and sat down to enjoy the coolness.
"There are a total of thirteen cities and thirteen factions in Kanto Province, with the Changbai Mountain Pear Flower Sect being the most powerful, it is better to transfer back to the original town Liao Duwei Command History and Deputy Commander History, and order the two of them to return to the capital with their respective henchmen to resume their lives and arrange other errands. For the vacant position, Yin Xuesong, the senior brother of the Lihua faction, can be appointed as the commander of Zhenliao Duwei, and the deputy commander can be made by Xiao Lie of Hecheng Yizhuang. In this way, Changbai Mountain and Hecheng are tightly tied together, and the rest of the vacant positions are arranged by themselves. The Hecheng was named the general government of the Zhenliao Duwei, and then the Pear Flower faction was the first sect of the Kanto Province, specially designed for the Zhenliao Duwei to cultivate talents, and the remaining eleven cities and eleven factions, each picked people to join the Zhenliao Duwei, so that the thirteen cities connected together is an invisible Great Wall, whether it is a strange thing, or a foreign invasion can be intercepted at the first time. To say that the Holy Lord doesn't like to hear it, in case the Guandong Road is lost, he can also retreat to Yanmen Pass to resist again, and at that time, the Waiyi troops should also be consumed heavily, and the Holy Lord can easily harvest without too much effort. ”
The emperor pondered carefully for a while, and said to Lord Liu: "Then if there is the same entanglement in the Kanto Province as the Mingjiao back then, should we intervene?"
"Your Majesty, this kind of thing depends on the development of the situation at that time, if the situation is bad, we can't sit idly by, but you can rest assured, Yin Xuesong, Xiao Lie and others will not have problems, it depends on how they deal with the situation after the trend changes, this is a very variable situation, and it is impossible to say now. ”
"Well, okay, let's do what Aiqing wants. ”
"Your Majesty. The minister will arrange it. ”
Zhao Haiquan found a place with a very good scenery for the four of them, which was originally inhabited by a hermit, and when Zhao Haiquan found this place yesterday, it was just in time for this hermit to take his wife and children to visit a few friends, so that he could say that he lent this small courtyard to them. Zhao Haiquan finally asked the hermit why the family lived here alone and did not live in the town.
In the hermit's own words, the winters here are not so cold, surrounded by mountains and a small river. Not far from the river is his courtyard, the yard is not very big, and there are four or five rooms built, the decoration is not carved beams and paintings, and some are just the most primitive pastoral style. Then I raised a few chickens and ducks, bought two or three piglets, and planted some beloved flowers and plants. At first, he was the only one who lived here, and later he asked for a virtuous and quiet wife, and gave birth to two babies for him, enjoying the happiness of children around his knees every day. Every few days, I made an appointment with three or five confidants and more than a dozen friends to come to him to drink and have fun, drink tea and play chess, talk about trivial things in the world, and talk about everything in the world. Friends scattered, reading books. In spring, I sowed fragrant flowers and plants with my wife and children, waiting to see the beauty of blooming. In the summer, you can fish by the river, and the harvest is shared with your wife and children. In autumn, take your family to enjoy the scenery around the mountains, and every time you will find different beautiful scenery and different artistic conceptions. In winter, take your children to hunt for fun, taste game, and enjoy the wind and snow. How leisurely it is, to live such a life, so far that you don't care about the world. The mountains and rivers are at his feet, the earth is in his arms, he is the lord of the mountains and rivers of this wilderness, he is the spirit of all things in this heaven and earth!
The four of them chatted in the courtyard for a while, and the shopkeeper Zhao said to Mu Zihui who was particularly knowledgeable about current affairs: "How about we eat barbecue today?"
Hearing the barbecue, Miss Mu's eyes began to flicker: "Okay, okay, this place is the most suitable for barbecue, the air here is good, and it's not noisy, it's just the four of us, you can let go of the crazy play." ”
"As long as you're happy, but now you're going to come with me to prepare something, or you'll have to delay your meal, and you're hungry and you'll be hungry. ”
"I don't, I'm going to catch fish in the river, you let my aunt and Uncle Nangong help you." ”
Zhao Haiquan looked at the state of the little girl, if she didn't use some means, she really couldn't support her, and her eyes rolled to her heart: "Miss Mu, I still have some HSBC Ju's pork jerky, Aunt Li's sugar-fried chestnuts, I originally planned to keep it for myself at night, but unfortunately I can't enjoy this sweet and salty thing." When you go back, if you want to eat, go to me and get it. ”
"Words count, but no repentance. ”
Of course, the eldest husband will never break his word. But only if you come with me to prepare something for dinner. ”
"Just give the pork jerky and fried chestnuts with sugar to save face, and this girl will deign to go with you." After speaking, Miss Mu took a proud little step and walked into the kitchen. Zhao Haiquan shook his head with a smile and looked at Nangong Junzhe. He had a very good time with the shopkeeper Jiang, picking flowers and catching butterflies, and he didn't care about the two of them just now, Zhao Haiquan was depressed in his heart, and he must let Nangong Lao'er make up for his losses these days.
The two of them walked into the kitchen one after the other, Zhao Haiquan was cutting mutton, when he heard Mu Zihui scream, he almost cut his hand, the two people outside rushed in, Nangong Junzhe hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Zihui cried and said, "I'm scared to death, such a big mouse, I jumped over with a rub." As he spoke, he got into Jiang Xiaoyu's arms.
"I'm such an adult, I'm still afraid of rats, okay, okay, I'll get it with you, so that you can eat quickly." Jiang Xiaoyu touched her head, wiped the tears on her face, and the two of them washed the vegetables together.
Nangong Junzhe peeled the garlic and said to Zhao Haiquan: "This voice is too miserable, I thought you had something wrong with her." ”
", what can I do to a little girl, talking nonsense there. Zhao Haiquan looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and said to Nangong Junzhe, "Did you tell her?"
"Having said that, the two of us have decided, the ninth day of the first month of next month is a good day, first get married at the inn, and after the event, she will hand over the inn to Xiao Er to take care of, and we will go back to Shaohua Mountain together. After I went back, I had a good drink with my brothers, and it was done. I wanted to tell you when I was eating, but I told you first when you asked. Nangong Junzhe said with a humble smile.
Zhao Haiquan cut the mutton and complained to him in his mouth: "How many losses I have suffered, how many sufferings I have suffered, and how many sins I have suffered for you." It's buying snacks for the little girl again, and renting this yard again, which costs me a lot of money, and you have to reimburse me. ”
"Newspaper, newspaper, what is this. When I'm done with my business, I'm giving you a touch. ”
"You can pull it down, stop, I'll not think about it for now, let's stop and stop. ”
The work of four people is fast, and the work of half a day is done. In the middle of the courtyard, a stove was set up, and four people sat around the roasting pot, drinking and chatting between the feasts. Mu Zihui said to Zhao Haiquan: "It's the first time I've eaten such delicious barbecue, I used to roast rabbits with my father in the mountains, and I thought it was a delicacy in the world, but compared with today, it's like a heaven and an underground." ”
When Zhao Haiquan heard this, he became proud: "That's it, this craft, I secretly learned it from others when I was in Hecheng, and only the barbecue in Hecheng is the best in the whole world." ”
Mu Zihui's mouth was stuffed with meat, and she asked indistinctly: "How did you get this meat? This dish is also super delicious, I love this to death." ”
"The barbecue of this Hecheng is the key to the word "mixing", green onions, ginger, garlic, and wine are naturally indispensable, but how much to put must be accurate in hand. It is more difficult to add salt, less and tasteless, more and more to suppress the taste of meat, early and old meat, late and the taste is not in. Another item is to mix oil, less oil, dip in the pot, more oil, smoke, all the above is hands-on effort. Eating such a barbecue is a luxury to the sky. The more Zhao Haiquan spoke, the more proud he became.
Jiang Xiaoyu stabbed Nangong Junzhe shyly, meaning that he asked him to tell Zhao Haiquan and Mu Zihui about the things they had discussed before, Nangong Junzhe nodded and said to the two of them: "Announce good news, I and Shopkeeper Jiang will get married on the ninth day of the first month of next month, and then we will really become a family." ”
"Yo~ You two are fast enough. When it started, how I don't know. Mu Zihui is still full of meat.
"It was also just decided, we actually belong to the type of love at first sight, and we both look at each other well, so we decided. Nangong Junzhe said beautifully.
"Then I'll change my name to your brother-in-law in the future. Huh?" Mu Zihui turned his head and was about to say something to Zhao Haiquan, but found that he had something more on him: "Old Zhao, this butterfly on your shoulder is so big." ”
