On Bingyin (the 10th day of February), the fourth year since the beginning of the year, the "Thousand People Petition" drama in front of the Prince's Palace in Peking was destined to go down in history. The main behind-the-scenes workers of this drama can basically be determined Yes, chief director Liu Zhiyuan, executive directors Liu Chengyou, Yang Bin, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei, etc.
And the performers: starring Liu Zhiyuan, Zhang Yanwei, etc., supplemented by Hedong civil and military and thousands of Jinyang officers and soldiers...
Perhaps after the processing of historians' Spring and Autumn Period, this story will evolve into a legend that will be passed down through the ages, just like the drama of "Yellow Robe Added to the Body", which will last forever.
However, this drama did not end with a "perfect" ending. Peking King Liu Zhiyuan still maintained his last bit of reserve.
As for the petitioners, few of the military and civilian officials were determined to "remonstrate to death". After Liu Zhiyuan gave an answer that was not an answer, they gradually dispersed. If they don't leave, the patrolling army in the city will come. Suppressed.
Although the petition activity has come to an end for the time being, its influence continues to ferment, and this time it spreads faster and wider, not only in Jinyang City, but also in the entire Taiyuan Prefecture.
But this time, even the most ordinary Guizhou leader in Jinyang City felt something. This Jinyang City, I am afraid that another emperor will emerge!
Later, Liu Chengyou called Zhang Yanwei to a wine shop in Jinyangdong City and set up a simple banquet as a reward for his hard work.
"Have all the sergeants who petitioned left the city?" Liu Chengyou asked directly after eating a few mouthfuls of food and wine without saying anything nutritious.
"According to your arrangement, we have arranged for everyone to leave the city and return to camp without staying." Zhang Yanwei replied.
"Pay out all the rewards!"
Zhang Yanwei said somewhat insincerely: "Brothers who come to the city to persuade us to come in do so out of sincerity, not for rewards."
"The rewards you deserve will not be short of yourselves, sergeants, I——" Halfway through his words, Liu Chengyou stopped and suddenly turned his head to stare at him.
Liu Chengyou's sudden look made him a little nervous, but he felt a little confused in his nervous heart. Only when he noticed the suspicion in Liu Chengyou's eyes did he realize it and quickly explained: "The rewards are all given by Ma Quanyi himself. ,do not worry!"
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's eyes dimmed and his expression returned to calm. He raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Yanwei's bloody forehead: "You have worked hard this time, and I will remember all the hard work! "
Feeling slightly happy in his heart, Zhang Yanwei smiled modestly and his beard trembled three points: "This is what a general should do!"
Zhang Yanwei had already told Liu Chengyou some of today's details. Suddenly, Liu Chengyou was a little interested in the little disturbance at the city gate: "That captain?"
Hearing Liu Chengyou advance this matter, Zhang Yanwei was filled with resentment and cursed: "When I mention that guy, the general will get angry. A small city gate captain, so blind, dares to reject the general and is like a door. Liu The same goes for Xin, such a small thing cannot be arranged well!"
As soon as he finished complaining, Zhang Yanwei suddenly realized that Liu Xin was Liu Chengyou's uncle, and he cleverly changed his words: "The general is not criticizing Liu Du's commander behind his back..."
Liu Chengyou waved his hand. In fact, he didn't think much of Uncle Cong. He was just a man without virtue and talent, but he was also corrupt. More importantly, Liu Xin supported his eldest brother Liu Chengxun.
"A small captain can be so loyal to his duties, and he can neither be humble nor arrogant when facing you. This is rare among the armies in Hedong." Liu Chengyou's focus was still on the small captain, and he sighed leisurely in his tone. With some approval.
"If you think about it carefully, it's true!" After hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Zhang Yanwei changed his tune and agreed with him. Looking at Liu Chengyou's calm face, he smiled and said: "Are you interested in talents again? Don't go and investigate. After today's incident, I don't think the team leader will be in a good situation!"
"It doesn't hurt to understand it!" Liu Chengyou said calmly.
Liu Chengyou acted indifferently and didn't care, but Zhang Yanwei silently took it to heart. He secretly thought that he was just a squad leader, so he would just look for an opportunity to be transferred to his subordinates first.
After drinking a few sips of old wine and eating a few bites of dishes, Zhang Yanwei showed a little hesitation on his face. He glanced around, but couldn't help but lower his voice and asked: "Military Commander, we have gathered so many people this time, weeping." I support you with tears, why doesn’t your Majesty agree and still wants to postpone it?”
"Father has his own ideas and reasons. You just have to do your own thing!" Liu Chengyou replied, thought for a while, and added softly: "The ancient kings had to make three concessions when receiving orders. explain."
Zhang Yanwei seemed to understand now. He shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "There are such twists and turns in this. The king has strong soldiers and generals, and he can just ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Why do you need to do the useless tricks of literati? Corrupt rituals, causing trouble?"
Hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou frowned and stared at him sideways: "Are you studying?"
Liu Chengyou's indifferent eyes were always frightening. Zhang Yanwei was stunned when he heard the question, and then replied anxiously: "I will be a rough guy who doesn't study."
"If you have time, read more!" Liu Chengyou withdrew his gaze and said.
"Ah?" Zhang Yanwei was even more confused. He looked at Liu Chengyou and asked honestly, "What book are you reading?"
"The Analects of Confucius!" Looking at this naive military man, Liu Chengyou felt a little annoyed: "I asked those literati to go into the military camp to 'tell stories', not just for the sergeants, but also for you generals. You have to listen, and you have to listen carefully!”
"Yes." Zhang Yanwei could only nod in agreement.
"Forget about these things, come on, eat and drink enough, don't waste anything!" Upon seeing this, Liu Chengyou took the initiative to change the topic and greeted Zhang Yanwei, intending to clear away some food and wine on the table. His image of frugality and frugality, Regardless of whether he is pretending or not, at least for now, Liu Chengyou is performing well.
"By the way, father may have some warnings for you later!" After giving Zhang Yanwei another hint, Liu Chengyou let him go.
After he retreated, Liu Chengyou sighed. Looking back on Zhang Yanwei's response just now and his pure warrior mentality, Liu Chengyou believed that that was his truest reaction. But just like this, there is still a long way to go to change the army. .....
After wiping the grease from his mouth, Liu Chengyou got up and went back to the palace. After returning, he had to discuss the next matter with Liu Zhiyuan. At this time, his old father didn't know whether he was happy or worried.
...
The next day, the Peking Palace announced to the army and people of Jinyang that they had given a reply to yesterday's request. However, the reply was still disappointing. It did not mention the matter of proclaiming the emperor, but instead announced a decision to send elite soldiers to the east to rescue Jingxing. Return to the Jin Shao Emperor Shi Chonggui and his family who were captured by the Khitans in the north.
This decision seemed to show Liu Zhiyuan's determination. Even though the Jin Dynasty fell, he still wanted to be a "loyal minister"!
