In the Imperial City Hall, the sound of words continued to be heard.
"... Hotan, a pair of mutton-fat white jade cups, a pair of mutton-fat white jade bowls, mutton-fat brush washers, one inkstone, and a sapphire dragon screen... A piece of "Ten Sacred Pictures" by Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty...
…a gold and jade Avalokitesvara statue, a gold and jade Buddhist niche, a gold-leaf and jade-leaf handwritten copy of the Lankavatara Abhadra Sutra, and the Diamond Sutra..."
With the sound of voices, a large number of treasures and utensils were carried into the palace. While the deputy envoy read out the gift items, Xu Zerun secretly looked around and at the Emperor of Jin above.
As a new force that suddenly emerged to replace the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom was not a noble with a profound background, but an upstart who had suddenly acquired a huge treasure. However, as an imperial city in Huining, even the shadow of the upstart was
It's not obvious, it takes up a lot of space
It is quite big, but the palace walls are actually wooden structures, mostly made of willow and elm trees. There are offices in the front yard and people living in the back yard. Only this main hall seems slightly more powerful, but compared to the humble Wu Dynasty Palace, this "
"Palace" is just a hut.
However, Xu Zerun also knew in his heart that what really determines what kind of place this place is is not its shape, but the people here. Whether they are in a hut or a yurt, the people gathered around the man in front have already
It is an existence that no one in the world dares to insult.
On the throne, Wu Qimai was looking at all the treasures being brought in with great interest.
As the second emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu Qimai was his brother Aguda. At first glance, he seemed a little less world-devouring. He was actually bigger than Aguda. It was said that he was born with supernatural powers and could fight with bare hands.
Before Xionghu and Aguda started to take action, Emperor Tianzuo summoned
There was a gathering of Jurchen chiefs. At the meeting, the chiefs were asked to dance gracefully to make the emperor happy. Aguda refused, and Emperor Tianzuo wanted to kill him. It was Wu Qimai who came out as a follower and performed his best trick, catching a bear and binding a tiger with his bare hands, which made the emperor amused.
Emperor Tianzuo spared A Gu from being beaten to death.
But that's also why. A big guy who follows A Guda and is loyal seems to be a bit honest and stupid. Although after inheriting the throne, according to other people's evaluations, he did inherit a few brushes from A Guda. But
The administration is relatively peaceful and steady. Even seeing the other party, Xu Zerun couldn't help but think of a rumor he heard before:
When Aguda was in power, he acted very frugally. He once made an agreement with his ministers that the property in the treasury could only be used in war. If anyone violated it, no matter who it was, he would be beaten with twenty military sticks. After Wu Qimai succeeded to the throne,
, money is also relatively tight, and money has to be spent on everything. This emperor lived a hard life.
People who come out can tolerate other things, but they have a preference for wine and meat. One day in March this year, he couldn't bear it anymore and stole money from the treasury and went out to spend it. When Zong Han found out about it, he exposed it in front of the courtiers.
Then Wu Qimai was pulled down and beaten with twenty sticks, and then all the courtiers knelt down to apologize.
Xu Zerun had seen Wanyan Zonghan before. He was one of the most terrifying ministers who ever passed through the court. It might be possible for him to do such a thing. Of course, if it really happened, I really don’t know what would happen to the people of the Wu Dynasty.
Say, it is a blessing or a curse.
As an envoy of the Wu Dynasty, Xu Zerun himself was a good dancer, and he was also good at observing faces and people. In the process of dealing with these warriors and reckless men, he also knew that one advantage of these people was that they received money
, which basically means that he can do things. In the past three months, he
I have contacted many ministers of the Kingdom of Jin, and I also know that the court of the Kingdom of Jin has been arguing about this matter. When I came here today, although some of the ministers I knew were not there, I looked at the satisfied smiling face of the Emperor of Jin above.
, he felt that this matter should have a good outcome.
After presenting various gifts and then formally handing over the credentials containing various trade treaties, Wu Qimai accepted them, just glanced at them, put them aside, and walked out of his seat.
Once he stood up, Xu Zerun felt the pressure in front of the huge figure. The Jurchen Emperor, who was dressed in mink brocade and fur and looked like a giant bear, came over and reached out to touch the porcelain and jade tributes, and then
He picked it up and played with it for a while: "What a good thing." He whispered. When he saw some bacon used as tribute and good wine sealed in porcelain bottles in the gift, he couldn't help but play with it and leaned down to smell it: "
It’s really good stuff…”
"When we entered the Khitan Palace." He turned back and said to Xu Zerun, "The emperor ran away and took away many things. They were broken into pieces along the way. Some good things were not left behind. Of course, they were also the first ones to go in.
Boy, you don’t understand at all. After the fight, they set fire everywhere..."
The emperor, who was already in his fifties but was frightening yet honest, had a face that seemed to be saying, "I feel so sorry for you." After saying this, he looked around the pile of gifts, and then turned to a group of courtiers.
Waved his hand: "I'm retreating from the DPRK. I'm retreating from the DPRK today. You can go back."
The courtiers began to retire, and Xu Zerun frowned: "Your Majesty, that... that agreement..."
"The matter has been settled." Wu Qimai stood up from the treasures, walked towards Xu Zerun, then reached out directly, hugged his shoulders, and said in his thick voice, "Mr. Xu, don't think too much. Come on, you can do whatever you want.
Let me come and show you something."
Wu Qimai was a head and a half taller than him. He reached out and patted him on the back. He couldn't help but take a step forward. At this time, the other party had already started to walk out of the hall. Xu Zerun and others followed him. Qiu Ri's
There were a few white clouds floating in the sky, and the sun had risen, bringing a slight warmth. The emperor got on his carriage, and then asked someone to bring him over: "Envoy Xu, sit with me."
Xu Zerun declined, but finally went up. He leaned against the curtain of the carriage and sat on the bench with only half of his buttocks. But Wu Qimai pulled him and asked him to sit more firmly: "The road is bumpy, don't you sit down?"
Be steady, but you will fall."
The emperor was sitting on the other side of the carriage, with his hands on his legs and a smile on his face. He looked like a giant bear sitting there.
For some reason, Xu Zerun felt a little panicked. For a moment, while the carriage was moving forward, Wu Qimai spoke.
"Mr. Xu, my brother and I have been admiring Chinese studies many years ago. We know that there is the Wu Dynasty in the south, which is prosperous and prosperous. Everyone...can get knowledge and education. It is the kingdom of heaven. Mr. Xu, you understand
?”
Xu Zerun bowed his hands respectfully: "Zerun... understand. Your Majesty, as long as the two countries can open border trade and have more exchanges, soon the Kingdom of Jin..."
"Just like the things you brought today. They are all good things." Wu Qimai waved his hand, interrupting his long speech, "Of course you also have problems, you always like to get some... we don't
I know the twists and turns. What's the use of those? I can't figure it out. It's useless..."
"Of course. We also have problems." Wu Qimai continued without further entanglement, "I have just succeeded to the throne. There are enemies in the court, and we must be stable below. I really don't want to fight anymore. Now Liao
The country is over. You Yan and so on, you have taken back what you should take. It would be best if you can take a rest. But!"
He raised his hand and raised his voice: "But... I never want anyone to think that my Jurchens are afraid of fighting. After conquering the world, I don't dare to fight anymore! If anyone has such an idea, he will die.
!Mr. Xu, do you understand?"
Xu Zerun was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said: "Foreign Minister, I understand." He felt happy in his heart, because when someone said this, the actual threat would not appear again. Sure enough, Wu Qimai also laughed afterwards.
: "It's good to understand, it's good to understand. If you people in the court also understand, then the world will be peaceful."
While he was talking, the bumpy carriage gradually came to a stop. Wu Qimai said: "We're here, let's get off." But he got up first, followed by Xu Zerun and got off the car. In front of him was a row of low houses with square walls.
A well-organized yard with a few trees
Moving in the autumn wind, there were not many people around except for the envoys such as Xu Zerun and the guards brought by Wu Qimai. The emperor stood in the courtyard, looking at the slightly bleak scene, and took a deep breath.
He raised a finger to the people next to him.
"Mr. Xu, close your eyes and listen to this voice."
Xu Zerun was in a state of confusion at this time, full of doubts. He closed his eyes and listened. Only the rustling sound of the autumn wind blowing through the tree crowns was heard, but he could not hear the sounds farther away clearly. He opened his eyes.
At this time, Wu Qiqiu's whispering sounded again.
"When I was young, I hunted in the Changbai Mountains. To be a good hunter, ears are very important. From a long distance, I could hear the sounds of bears and tigers. Their claws stepped into the snow and the leaves of the trees
Ah, shake gently, where is the wind blowing from... A pair of good ears will save your life. Listen now, this sound is really... Huwuwuwuwu..."
He waved his hand, gently imitating the sound of the wind, and smiled at Xu Zerun, but Xu Zerun had a puzzled look on his face. He also knew that many emperors might like this feeling that others could not understand him, so half of them
Doubts, too
It was deliberately pretending. After Wu Qimai smiled, he walked forward to a courtyard gate over there. As he walked forward, the last thing he said to Xu Zerun was: "By the way, Messenger Xu, I said this on the carriage.
Do you remember those words?"
Xu Zerun replied: "Return to Your Majesty, remember."
Wu Qimai stepped through the small door.
Xu Zerun also followed, and the scenery unfolded in front of him, and then there was something densely packed, like millions of ants walking, spreading up from his back, his scalp was numb, and his whole body was tightening at that moment...
…
*************
Go to Beijing, Linhuang Mansion.
When Wanyan Xiyin walked into the exquisite little courtyard, the sound of the guzheng rang. He walked up the small building, pushed the door and entered the exquisite room. The woman was stroking the strings of the zither in front of the window, and then smiled softly at him.
laugh.
He sat down on the chair, closed his eyes and listened to the woman's playing.
Wanyan Xiyin, the "God of Grains", is considered the leader of civil servants among the Jurchens. Of course, the main reason why he is said to be the leader of civil servants is because he has the most knowledge among them. He does not have much knowledge about Han people's knowledge and Confucian studies.
He lost to many great scholars from the Wu Dynasty in the south. In the early years, he even independently created Jurchen writing.
Not only did he make great achievements in knowledge, among the Jurchen ministers, he was extremely talented, both civil and military. Jin Wushu, who had a devilish name in later generations, was Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth son of Aguda. At this time, he was very interested in him.
They were both respectful and afraid.
The person living in this small building is one of his concubines, Wanyan Xiyin, who is passionate about Chinese studies. This concubine is also a daughter of the Wu Dynasty who lives in the north. Her name is Chen Wenjun. The two are already married.
For many years, the piano and the harp played in harmony. In love with each other, Chen Wenjun completed the marriage together.
Yan Xiyin gave birth to two children. After the death of Wanyan Xiyin's wife, the position of his wife has been vacant, and she became Wanyan Xiyin's de facto wife. At this time, the Jurchens had no prejudice against the Han people.
People often call her "Mrs. Han" in private.
Every time she returned home, Wanyan Xiyin would habitually listen to the other party playing a guzheng song, and this time was no exception. When the melody stopped, as soft as flowing water, Wanyan Xiyin opened her eyes and stared for a long time.
Looking at this beloved woman, Chen Wenjun stroked the strings of the zither, tilted his head and said with a smile, "What can I do for you, husband?"
Wanyan Xiyin was silent for a moment, and then said: "I will go south."
***************
The view expands ahead.
The huge school ground, with countless flags. In front of the school ground is a high platform, and the figure in front walks towards the high platform. Under the high platform, a large number of officials wearing Jin Dynasty uniforms are tied tightly with ropes. Kneeling there, all of them were visited by Xu Zerun.
, the official who handed over the gifts. Various gifts were piled up on the high platform, plus precious porcelain and real silver vessels. A huge charcoal brazier was burning under the high platform, and the heat waves were rolling and distorting the air.
Leaves swirled past feet.
Xu Zerun is a smart man, a very smart man. The moment he saw the scene in front of him clearly, something emerged from the bottom of his heart and grabbed his mind. Goosebumps surged up along with the coolness. Wu Qi bought him in the car
Those words came out, and then something farther away. He rode a boat, a carriage, and a horse all the way north. He saw the beautiful mountains and rivers, the eyes of his wife and children when he left home, and countless eyes passed through his mind...
The strong wind blew through the school grounds, the flags and leaves all rustled, and the sky clouds stretched and rolled.
"Close your eyes and listen to this sound..."
He was still walking forward, his body was cold and the back of his head was numb. This was an ordinary day. He never thought that he would see the scene in front of him, but some serious feelings were already rushing in front of him.
Coming over, it was like the wind and sea rain, crashing onto the rocks.
The soldiers came over, and the swords hit the backs of everyone in the envoy group, but there was no sound. Surprisingly, he could not hear the sound at this moment. He also felt that his field of vision was shaking. He was beaten until his knees bent. In front of his field of vision,
The emperor stepped onto the high platform and the wind blew
His robes and furs were flying in the air. His huge body was clenched into fists. He faced countless soldiers at the other end of his field of vision. Beside him were mountains of porcelain, gold, silver, and treasures. Then, he
The voice sounded like thunder.
"Dear Jurchen brothers, do you know what these are in front of you -"
…
It was windy and rainy, and the masters and servants of Zhou and Dong were walking on the road between cities in a foreign land. The rain was falling from the sky.
In Jiangning, a girl called Xiaoqi by her family pushed the white-haired old man out to bask in the sun, watching the pedestrians walking past the road. The old man occasionally spoke and smiled.
In Miaojiang, a one-armed swordsman named Du Sha swung his sword, and the enemy's blood was sprinkled on his face. Next to him, his brothers were fighting fiercely with the enemy...
…
"They are the treasures of the Wu Dynasty in the south. Here, you have such porcelain in front of you. It is worth dozens or hundreds of silver coins. It is the most expensive piece here. Take it away and you will be able to have food and clothing for your whole life.
...There is such a large piece of Hotan mutton-fat jade, which can drive many people crazy.
At home, it can be used as a heirloom that will last ten lifetimes... There are calligraphy and paintings from the Tang Dynasty... There are Buddhist scriptures inlaid with gold and silver... There are tributes to the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty... There are things you can't buy even if you have money.
Fine wine... Here, there are thousands of things worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars worth of good things, they are placed here - "
The wind blew across the high platform, and the emperor spread his hands in the wind: "You! Do you want it or not?"
…
Hangzhou, a city that has gone through wars, has been rebuilt, with awning boats rowing along the peaceful waterways, vendors shouting loudly in the prosperous markets, pedestrians and business travelers coming and going between the city gates, and the bustle...
In a courtyard, two green forest men fought quickly. One of them was knocked out and spit out blood. The other raised his hand: "Assassinate the inner demon, I will take the lead. Who else is dissatisfied?"
Li Pin walked along the path of the mountain village and when fetching water from the stream, he picked up the sand in the water and smelled it in his nose. He liked the fresh smell.
Looking up, in the mountain village below, you can vaguely see farmers coming and going. The sky is just right, the rice is golden, and it is about to be ripe.
…
"You should want it!" Wu's begging voice echoed over Huining, "Everyone should want good things! I want it too! But, I don't want charity -"
"I am a Jurchen! Since the late emperor rebelled and fought out from the white mountains and black waters, in just ten years, we have swept the entire Liao Kingdom! The world that was once the Liao people's, all their good things are ours! This world! This world
Aren’t there more treasures and curios here than here!? What are these things—"
In the midst of the roar, he grabbed a huge shelf with porcelain next to him and waved it violently. The shelf flew up in the air, and countless porcelains flew up and hit the high platform like a mountain. Countless white treasures fell in front of everyone.
The scene in front of him was smashed into pieces. Several ministers of the Jin Kingdom who were kneeling in front were directly smashed inside, with their heads broken and bleeding...
…
In the Fan Tower, the elegant scholars were waving their fans and reciting poems and composing poems. The teacher was playing the piano and smiling. He was looking at the people in front of him. Outside the window, the heat had faded and the leaves were about to turn yellow.
Well, it’s autumn again. Sometimes I think about it, the warblers are flying and the grass is growing, another year has passed...
To the north, another group of goods entered Luliang Mountain. Hongti stood on the built gate of the village and looked at the passing business travelers.
Zhou Bangyan was pouring tea in the thatched cottage and entertaining the guests. Song Yongping was surveying around a valley with a military book, and several county government soldiers followed him boredly.
In the Ning Mansion, Xiaochan clutched her stomach and screamed. Suddenly the entire Ning Mansion was in chaos...
…
There was a rumble of things being broken, followed by boxes containing gold and silver. Those golden and precious utensils flew into the sky and fell into the huge charcoal furnace. Wind and fire rose up.
"Porcelain! What the hell-"
"Gold and silver! What's that-"
"Calligraphy and painting! What the hell -"
"Haven't you seen these things? No! You have all seen them! When you walked through the mountains and rivers of the Liao Kingdom, when you rushed into the Liao people's cities and into the Liao people's palace, you have all seen it.
!Many of you have taken them back home, you have everything! The entire rivers and mountains of Liao Kingdom are ours——"
"We are the snow bears in the ice field and the wolf kings in the forest! As long as we Jurchens gather together, no one in the world can defeat us. We got what we wanted in an upright manner! We took over the entire Liao Kingdom
, including these people kneeling below, they were once your brothers, it
They once went and got everything they wanted in an upright manner! You know why they knelt here! Because when they saw these things they wanted, they actually started to accept alms from others! Like dogs, they accepted alms from people in the Wu Dynasty, and then they
I want to lobby and do things for the people of Wu Dynasty——"
"They are no longer Jurchens, they are dogs——"
The wind is roaring, the flames are rising, and under the high platform, countless hill-like treasures are being shattered, smashed into pieces, dissolved into golden water, and burned to ashes. The huge emperor is running around the stage like a demon, and he is smashing them with one hand.
Throwing that priceless thing to destruction...
…
In Jiangnan, beside the official road in and out of the county town, Wang Shanyue sat in a tea shop, looking at the vendors going in and out, showing a bored smile.
In the dark small room, Cheng Zhou returned from overseas and summarized the information at hand, occasionally adding useful information to the small notebook beside him, and calculating the Yin Ren's steps and success rate.
Shi Jin threw the drunken man who was causing trouble in the tavern out of the door, then turned around and drank his own corner of the wine. Pedestrians on the street looked at the man on the ground, startled, and then walked past, each doing their own thing.
It was only then that Shi Jin’s younger brothers rushed up and beat and kicked him.
In the Taishi Mansion, Cai Jing wrote a beautiful calligraphy and waited for it to dry in the autumn wind. Then he sat there and told the housekeeper next to him: "This is a good painting. I will frame it later."
The sun shines in, the autumn wind touches the paper, and on the wet ink mark in the corner, there is this writing:... The wise brother of the Yazhihui.
In the fragrance of ink, there is a slight fragrance of tea and books, which is the style of a gentleman.
…
"These envoys of the Wu Dynasty turned them into dogs! They brought so many things. In the final analysis, they are afraid of us! They are afraid that we will beat them, but do we want to beat them? We don't-"
"For a long time, we have regarded the Wu Dynasty as a country of brothers and treated them as brothers! But what did these brothers do! They fought against the Liao people, but they did not work hard! After the fight, they jumped around in secret
, like nasty rats! They instigated
Incited Zhang Jue's rebellion, they took in the remnants of the Liao Kingdom! They are in our place, sending money and bribes everywhere, corrupting my subjects! They are poaching my flesh, they are driving a wedge between your brothers! And these people below... were killed by them
The guy who turned from a human into a dog!”
"They! Live in the warmest place! They have the best mountains and water, and countless good things! It's a pity that they are not humans! They are dogs! They only have intrigues, but no sharp teeth or claws! We Jurchens, treat
Have brothers ever been stingy? Have we Jurchens ever been stingy with our friends?
Did you pass? They made no achievements in the battle against the Liao Kingdom. We defeated it and then gave it to them! Let them be happy and show off, but then look back. They want to stab you in the body! Go to me.
They stabbed their subjects! They destroyed all your brothers—"
"But it's okay -" Wu Qimai opened his hands and lifted up the sleeves of his robe in the wind and fire, "They came over and told us what they had. They had so many, such good things.
And I can see it. You want it, haha, but we don’t want these dog feeders on the table. But there are countless things, and there are ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times better things, all in the south-"
…
In the south of the earth, beyond Yanmen Pass, there is the warmest land, the best water and soil, the most suitable sunshine and weather. They nourish the people on this land year after month, giving them the opportunity to survive and reproduce.
The best cradle.
For thousands of years, they have built a great and splendid civilization here from generation to generation. They will also experience wars, but soon they will unite again and recast order. Today, large-scale wars have begun here.
More than two hundred years have passed, and mountains and green waters have
Between them, cities and villages are filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. When the sun rises, farmers walk out of their houses in the villages. When the sun rises, shops open in the city, and craftsmen drink hot porridge and rice.
, picked up the tools of the job, and the officers and soldiers stood guard at the city gate.
While chatting and inspecting the passing merchants, the yamen shouted powerful slogans in the courtroom. The boatman propped up his oar on the riverside. On the seaside, the fishermen set up their sailboats and started their day's work. Their families swayed their arms on the beach.
The sound of suona and the procession of welcoming the bride
Walking across the bluestone bridge, the bride in the sedan is happily and anxiously waiting for the arrival of another life. Smoke and clouds are curling up in the Buddhist temple, Taoist priests in Taoist temples are doing bodybuilding exercises, and on the cliffs with green trees, there is a huge Buddha carved by stonemasons.
The head begins to show its clues gradually.
This is a world where millions of lives and countless treasures gather...
In the turning mansion of Langyuan, a new life was being born. It opened its eyes and let out its first loud cry. The mother felt joy in the huge pain. Some people clasped their hands together and shed tears...
…
Everything fell down like a mountain.
"Since they are dogs, since they reminded us, and since you really want it, then let's go and get it openly! Today, let these courtiers from the Wu Dynasty sacrifice the flag for us-"
Xu Zerun's thoughts had already sunk down, and gradually came up again. He could already guess what the other party was going to do. In the blur of light and shadow, and the floating thoughts, his soul was torn apart on both sides of the body. I don't know when, he had already
He stood up, rushed out, and shouted that he was going to rush to the figure on the high platform. He didn't know what he was cursing, but under the high platform, someone had already stopped him——
"Don't stop him, let him come up and let me - show you -"
"Hunjun, the hundreds of millions of subjects of our Wu Dynasty will definitely..."
They watched the figure rush up to the high platform and crash into Wu Qimai. However, the giant bear-like emperor grabbed him with one hand and then backhanded him into the hill-like ceramic ruins. He punched him with two fists.
When he went down, his body was already twisted, and he
He pulled the person up, stepped on him, and tore off the other person's arm. Blood spurted out. Then with three booms, the giant bear tore the whole person into pieces, and the plasma sprayed towards the huge royal flag.
The flagpole was also sprayed all over his body.
"Long live the Jurchens -" The roar of the giant bear swept across the sky. In the response that shook the earth like thunder, countless sword lights fell and countless blood spurted out. Under the autumn sky, the emperor licked the blood and opened his mouth.
Big hands, "We——"
His voice was as rich as a devil: "Go to war——"
Clouds are sweeping in. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better novels and faster updates!
