Chapter 349: Dry Bones
Leaving the palace, Li Fengyun was full of disappointment with the little emperor Shi Chonggui. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Shi Chonggui not only did not agree to his request, but also faintly warned him not to do foolish things. What made Li Fengyun even more suspicious was that Shi Chonggui was followed by three old eunuchs, and their martial arts were not weak, and they were not far from Shi Chonggui.
It turned out that Shi Chonggui didn't trust him that much, even though Li Fengyun had saved his life. The heart of the emperor is always as unfathomable as the sea. It seems that you can't rely on anyone, you can only rely on yourself.
Li Fengyun thought wildly in his heart: "No matter what, I still have to ask Ruyue about this matter." ”
Crossing the Yellow River, the north wind is like a knife cutting on the face, teaching people to sting.
Ding Hu didn't dare to ask why he went to Zhenzhou without asking for an order at this time, and he would get angry when he asked Li Fengyun. Even he knew what the crime of going out of Beijing to meet the border generals without permission was, and it was impossible for Li Fengyun not to know.
The scenery along the way is similar to when they first entered Beijing, there is not much change, the ruins are still ruins, the walls are still ruined, but the green scenery has become a withered yellow, the dead leaves on the branches are still falling, and countless dead branches are shivering in the howling cold wind, which is even more bleak and desolate.
Occasionally, a few dry bones can be found in the dead grass, and it is unknown who left them. Flocks of wild dogs, with blood-red eyes, will quietly follow when they see someone walking by. Ding Hu knew that this was because the dead had eaten too much carrion.
A few wisps of smoke and a few figures could sometimes be seen in the ruined village, but they immediately disappeared after flashing to the ruined wall, and Ding Hu could clearly feel the frightened gaze shooting from behind the ruined wall.
At this time, it should be the time for winter wheat budding, but it is rare to see a few figures in the fields, large areas of fertile fields are barren, overgrown with withered yellow weeds, no one burns the fields, and no one ploughs them.
Ding Hu did not understand what the harvest would come from if there was no one to plough the fields, and what the surviving people planned to use to make ends meet.
Along the way, the most common sights were thieves and bandits growing like wild grass, dozens or hundreds of ragged fellows holding sticks and forks, trembling to block the intersection, their thin bodies like firewood, as if a gust of wind could blow them down.
Li Fengyun really had no intention of slaughtering these poor people, so he threw down a handful of copper coins and hurriedly passed them in the midst of their scrambling, of course, more often, he took Ding Hu, Ding Leopard, and Ding Monkey to ride directly around the fields next to them.
Rather be a peace dog, don't be a troubled person.
The little emperor Shi Chonggui did not have his people in his heart, he only cared about whether his throne was stable; Liu Zhiyuan also did not have the people of the Central Plains in his heart, he only wanted to protect his interests in Hedong, or the capital for him to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains; Du Chongwei did not have the people of the Central Plains in his heart, and he only had the dragon chair on the Jinluan Treasure Hall in his eyes......
Suddenly, Li Fengyun found that none of the meat eaters who were entrenched in the temples of Huaxia seemed to be really thinking about Huaxia, they only cared about their own interests, if they could, for their own interests, they could cut Huaxia into pieces at any time and sell them to the Khitan or any other country, in exchange for their own glory and wealth.
Shi Chonggui, Liu Zhiyuan, Du Chongwei, Li Shouzhen, Yang Guangyuan, Sang Weihan...... A figure flashed in front of Li Fengyun's eyes, his face became hideous and ugly, like a huge mouse, constantly gnawing at the foundation of Huaxia.
Unconsciously, Li Fengyun's heart was full of hatred, and those faces became more and more disgusting, no matter what kind of posture they put on, what kind of expression.
Woohoo! Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are also the Six Kingdoms, not Qin. The Qin of the clan is also Qin, not the world. If the people of the six countries love each of the six countries, it will be enough to reject Qin; if the people of the six countries will be restored to Qin, they will be the king of the three generations, and whoever will be wiped out will be destroyed? The Qin people will not have time to mourn themselves, and the descendants will mourn them; and the descendants will mourn but not learn from them, and the descendants will also mourn the descendants!
"The great victory in Yangcheng is not a victory, but a disgrace! Any victory that occurs on the land of China cannot be called a victory, it is a shame for our generation!" Li Fengyun looked up to the sky and roared, "Where is the Han Wu? Where is the Tang Sect? Is it true that those who are armed with soldiers and who are searching for the people's fat and ointment are not the slightest bit uneasy in their hearts? I, Li Fengyun, fought bravely to kill the enemy, just so that these people would have more opportunities to fight for power and profit?"
"Lord ......" Ding Hu was startled by Li Fengyun, who suddenly went crazy, and wanted to comfort Li Fengyun, but he didn't know where to persuade him.
"Am I wrong?" Li Fengyun glared at Ding Hu fiercely, "What am I fighting so desperately for? For them? Which of them is worth my life?"
A court that treats its own people like mustard, some civil servants and military generals who wantonly fish and flesh the people, what qualifications do they have to sit on the palace and enjoy the worship of the people, and what right do they have to manipulate the life and death of the people in the world?"
Ding Bao shouted violently: "The king is not a king, the minister is not a minister, it is against this cannibalistic world!"
Ding Monkey also shouted: "Lord, what do you say, our three brothers all listen to you!"
Ding Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, if you really want to rebel, I, Ding Hu, will follow you, and my life will be handed over to you long ago! ”
Along the way, looking at this depressed scene, passing by towns with a population of less than one in ten, this anger suffocated Li Fengyun's heart, and also suffocated in the hearts of Ding Hu, Ding Leopard, and Ding Monkey.
They knew that if Li Fengyun hadn't saved them, maybe they would have turned into a pile of dry bones in the dry grass under the butcher's knife of the Khitans, and their flesh and blood would be eaten by wild beasts. Even if they can survive, the situation may not be much better than the gang of homeless people who robbed at the intersection.
What is the cannibalism of beasts? This is the cannibalism of beasts.
The Khitans came, killing and plundering like grates, and the officers and soldiers came, looting again like grates, forcing honest peasants into thieves who had to block the road and rob, who was to blame?
The fury erupted like a volcano, and after the eruption was silence.
Li Fengyun gradually calmed down, and he knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to rebel, and if he rebelled, not only would he not build a beautiful new world, but it was very likely that Huaxia would sink into an even darker abyss.
Surrounded by wolves, the Khitans can smash everything with impunity, because this is not their country, the people are not their people, and they don't care about the fall of China.
Shi Chonggui, Liu Zhiyuan, Du Chongwei and others also don't care, in their eyes, what matters is their status, the military power in their hands, and maybe their reputation among the big families. What does it matter if there are more deaths and fewer deaths? Why should we care about whether the Khitans have taken more captives and plundered more or less?
Therefore, when the 200,000 army went on the Northern Expedition, they would tear each other down, and their minds would be devoted to fighting each other, but they turned a deaf ear to the danger of the Khitans who were close at hand, and pretended not to see it.
For the sake of the throne, Shi Chonggui did not hesitate to provoke the infighting between Liu Zhiyuan and Du Chongwei.
For the sake of power, Liu Zhiyuan and Du Chongwei raised their own dignity and raised tigers, and they did not care about the life and death of the people at all.
......
They can do this, but Li Fengyun can't do it. He couldn't help but care about the lives of those people, they were no different from the old folks in Qingping Town, they all had yellow skin, black hair, and rough hands full of calluses.
Li Fengyun is not Yelu Deguang, not Shi Chonggui, not Liu Zhiyuan, Du Chongwei and the like, he himself was once one of the clusters of leeks, he knows how weak the lives of the people are, leeks can grow longer after being cut, and the human head is cut off, and can only rot into a pile of dry bones.
If he rebels, the situation that Huaxia has just calmed down will set off again, and the respite opportunity that Yangcheng won with great difficulty will become a spell to urge life, and the Khitan will definitely revive the army and sweep the Central Plains again......
Think about the scene at that time, Li Fengyun
Suddenly, Li Fengyun realized how heavy the burden was on his shoulders and how important the "Returning to the Tibetan Sutra" was in his arms.
Perhaps, the "Returning to the Tibetan Sutra" is really not of much use, but it represents the future of China and the expectations of those who still have a conscience in their hearts. Xuanyuan Tai handed this scripture into his hands, and he did not simply hope that after he translated it, he would give it to someone casually.
Unconsciously, in Li Fengyun's heart, Shi Chonggui, Liu Zhiyuan, and Du Chongwei have already been ...... and others were crossed out from the list of the "Returning to the Tibetan Sutra".
