The most painful thing in the world is to stop fighting. However, Qin Hui is suffering a lot at this time!
Along the Huaihe River is green grassland, and at the end of the river is a gorgeous sunset. The gorgeous glow dyes the sky deep red, like a magnificent red ocean. It is very spectacular. It is really "this scene can only be seen in the sky."
How many times can the world be visited?" At this time, the sunset was getting redder and redder, so red it was almost bleeding, like a huge red peony blooming in the sky, full of fragrance and beauty.
The rays of sunlight shine on the river, blooming golden flowers, which are dazzling.
On the grassland by the river, rows of neat white tents protruded, with rising sun flags fluttering against the setting sun. Just like Qin Hui's mood at this time, what he was thinking about was the rising sun, but what was in front of him was the setting sun.
A man dressed as a scholar stood by the river with a long table in front of him. He was holding a slender brush and swiping ink on the white paper lying on the long table. His expression was extremely devoted and unfocused.
At this time, three more people walked out of the tent, it was Chen Dong, Ouyang Che and Han Shizhong. Seeing that Qin Hui was still in the mood to paint, they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
It turned out that after Li Qiji retreated from the Xixia army, he sent a letter to Qin Hui, asking him to continue completing his unfinished mission. However, when Qin Hui and others walked halfway, the imperial edict suddenly came, four words, stand by.
No reason, no justification.
The three people stepped forward and glanced at the table secretly. They saw that the scene in the painting was not the beautiful scenery in front of them. Chen Dong was immediately surprised and said: "This---isn't this the morning glow?"
Ouyang Che was also stunned for a moment. When they saw Qin Hui facing the sunset, they thought he was painting the sunset, but they did not expect that he was painting the morning glow.
I don’t know whether Qin Hui was too absorbed in hearing it or simply didn’t want to talk to Chen Dong, but he still described it in an orderly manner.
After all, Ouyang Che and Chen Dong were both literati, and they were quite interested in what they saw. They nodded frequently when they saw something worthy of praise. However, Han Shizhong didn't know much about the painting, so he glanced at it and focused on the river.
, seemed to be hesitating whether to go into the water to catch two carps for a tooth-beating ceremony.
After a while, Qin Hui finally put down his pen and said with a smile: "Chen Dong, Ouyang, what do you think of this painting?"
Ouyang Che said with a smile: "The inspector's painting skills are as good as those of Ouyang."
Chen Dongdao: "The painting is good, but it's a pity that it doesn't depict the right scene."
"Yes! The painting is indeed wrong."
Qin Hui nodded and said with a smile: "I originally saw that the sunset was really beautiful. So I felt a little itchy. But the more I continued to draw, the more I missed the morning glow. By the time I woke up, it was already too late."
Ouyang Che suddenly applauded and said: "This painting is really wonderful, wonderful!"
Chen Dong was surprised and said: "What do Ouyang say?"
Ouyang Che said: "I am at sunset, but I can still draw the splendor of the morning glow. If it is not wonderful, it is nothing. In fact, the difference between morning glow and sunset is just one word, and it is also a one-sided difference. It depends on how you look at it.
"
"Well said."
Qin Hui chuckled, looked to the west, and sighed: "Although the sunset is beautiful, we are not qualified to appreciate the charm of this sunset. Since the scene does not match the scene, why should the painting match the scene?"
"I see."
Chen Dong nodded slightly.
Although Han Shizhong didn't understand painting, he still understood the meaning of the painting. He nodded slightly and suddenly asked: "Inspector, there has been no news since the last time the imperial court ordered me to stay where I am.
, waiting like this is not an option."
Qin Hui said: "We should come soon. But all we can do is wait. The above matters can only be left to Bu Shuai to handle. We are not qualified enough."
"Those things above?" Chen Dong asked in surprise: "Did the inspector already expect this to happen?"
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Actually, Bu Shuai and I had expected this before we came. Originally, we planned to kill those people before they could react, so I kept urging them to go faster, at least
We have to rush to Hangzhou, but unfortunately people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Bu Shuai suddenly went to Fengxiang, and such a big thing happened."
Chen Dongdao: "Inspector, who are those people you are talking about?"
Qin Hui pointed at Chen Dong.
Chen Dong was surprised: "I---?"
Han Shizhong laughed and said: "The inspector is not referring to you, but to you scholars, that is, those scholar-bureaucrats."
Qin Hui smiled and nodded.
After hearing this, Ouyang Che frowned and said, "In that case, the situation may not be good."
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the word scholar-bureaucrat meant everything.
Qin Hui said: "This is extremely bad."
Chen Dongdao: "Then what should we do?"
"wait!"
"wait?"
Qin Hui smiled and said: "Otherwise, what are you going to do? There are just a few of us. Do you think we will be the opponents of those scholar-bureaucrats? However, since Bu Shuai has already expected it, he must have a solution, so we just have to wait patiently.
yes."
At this moment, a galloping horse suddenly came over, "Report---!"
"Coming."
Qin Hui raised his eyebrows, walked up quickly, and asked, "Is it a letter from Commander Bu, or an imperial edict?"
The sentry was stunned for a moment and said, "It's a letter from Commander Bu."
Qin Hui looked happy, stretched out his hand and said: "Bring it quickly."
The sentry hurriedly handed the letter to Qin Hui. Qin Hui opened it and read it for a while, then handed it to Han Shizhong directly, stroked his beard, and suddenly said: "General Han, do you still have prison uniforms and prison cars in the army?"
Han Shizhong took the letter and had just read the beginning when he suddenly heard Qin Hui's question and said in shock: "I have prison uniforms, but not a prison car." But he thought to himself, you are in such a hurry, how can you bring a prison car with you.
Qin Hui also felt that his question was a bit redundant, and immediately said: "Here comes someone!"
Two soldiers came over immediately and saluted, "What are your orders, sir?"
"Let's make two prison cars immediately."
"As commanded."
Chen Dong was surprised and said: "Why do you want to build a prison car?"
Qin Hui smiled and said: "Of course I will do it only when someone needs it."
Chen Dong and Ouyang Che said in unison: "Who?"
"It's me and the inspector."
Han Shizhong gave a wry smile and handed Li Qi's letter to Chen Dong.
Qin Hui chuckled, "I'm so sorry, General Han. It's my first time traveling with you and I have to ride in a prison car. It's really ironic."
Han Shizhong knew that he was implying that he was dragging him down, but he had a bold personality and laughed loudly. He said: "Han has never tried the taste of this prison car, so there is no harm in giving it a try." He lowered his voice again and said.
: "Is this letter really written by Bu Shuai?"
Qin Hui was surprised and said: "Yes, Bu Shuai's handwriting is easy to recognize."
Han Shizhong nodded and said, "I can see that. In fact, that's what I wanted to ask."
Qin Hui smiled, pretending not to know, patted Chen Dong's shoulder and said: "Okay, now that General Han and I have become prisoners, it's up to you. Chen Dong, this is what you are best at.
.Don’t let Shuai Shuai and I be disappointed.”
"Ah!" Chen Dong looked at Qin Hui blankly.
Qin Hui smiled, ignored him, and said: "General Han, please go and make arrangements. The prison van must be ready tonight, and the whole army can leave camp and head to Chuzhou tomorrow."
"Well, I understand."
...
Beijing.
That is, after Wang Fu became official and Cai Jing became prime minister, another big earthquake occurred in the court. That is, Li Qi, who was at the height of his power the day before, was ordered to become an official by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty today.
However, only a few people in the court knew the reason for this incident. As for the rest, they did not react until they retreated from the court. The news was too shocking.
Li Qi became official, so the new law existed in name only. Obviously, the scholar-officials once again won a complete victory.
But when I saw those bureaucrats smiling happily, gathering together to celebrate this belated victory, it was as if another Wang Anshi was born.
For a time, the word "cook" was thrown around them one after another.
Cai Jing passed by them, nodded to them one by one, and then shook his head and said: "You short-sighted people, this has just begun."
...
Prince's Mansion.
Today's palace is no longer as bustling as it used to be. Not only that, it also looks extremely depressed. In order to make himself look even worse, Wang Fu directly eliminated 60% of the servants. Now when he enters the palace, he can't see even a single person.
"Daddy, daddy."
Wang Xuanen ran into the back hall with excitement on his face.
Wang Fu sipped the tea, looked at his son, and said with a kind smile: "Xuan'er, you are not young anymore, why are you still so reckless? Run slower and don't fall."
Wang Xuanen waved his hand and said breathlessly: "Dad, do you know that the cook was kicked out of the court by the emperor this morning?"
Wang Fu nodded and said, "I heard about it."
"Ah? Daddy has already heard about it. Haha, I didn't expect that even if we don't need to take action, the cook will not be able to do it." Wang Xuanen said excitedly. This is probably the happiest day for him since Li Qi appeared.
Wang Fu nodded lightly and said nothing.
Seeing Wang Fu's calm expression, Wang Xuan'en asked curiously: "Dad, why don't you look happy at all?"
Wang Fu smiled and said, "Xuan'er, it's too early to be happy now."
"What does daddy mean by this?"
Xuan'er is still too young, so you can't blame him if you don't understand. Wang Fu said: "Li Qi holds many positions, and every position is extremely important. How can he be withdrawn just by asking for it?"
Wang Xuanen scratched his head and said, "Dad, back then..." Halfway through, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.
Wang Fu glanced at his son lovingly and said hehe: "Dad is different. Daddy violated the emperor's taboo, but Li Qi did not. Everything he did was for the emperor."
Wang Xuan'en said: "But daddy, I heard that Qin Hui and others killed many officials in Jiangnan. Isn't this enough?"
"Not enough, not enough, far from enough." Wang Fu shook his head, but he didn't clarify. After all, the matter involved too many areas. He was afraid that telling Wang Xuan'en would cause trouble. His eyes became deep and he said: "Xuan'er,
In fact, this fight has just begun, and it is still unclear who will win and who will lose. If there is a chance, we have to rely on ourselves."
Wang Xuanen was confused when he heard this, and nodded.
...
Qin Mansion.
"I block, I block, I block again---."
"Husband, be careful."
"day."
"Haha, junior sister, we won."
Ma Qiao raised his racket high and shouted excitedly towards Lu Meimei beside him.
Li Qi, who was standing opposite them, had Yelu Guyu with tears in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "How many versus how many?"
Yelu Guxu was stunned for a while, lowered his head and said: "Eleven to --- to zero."
Obviously, just now, Li Qi and Yelu Gu wanted to play badminton doubles with Ma Qiao and Lu Meimei on the opposite side. The result can be imagined. With Ma Qiao's speed, jumping ability, and strength, it can be said that there is no blind spot in the whole field.
, he can catch wherever you hit him, and coupled with Lu Meimei's height, the smash is very powerful. Even though Li Qi tried his best, he still couldn't win a point.
What a disgrace! What an absolute disgrace! I really disgrace the youth of the 21st century! Li Qi snorted angrily and said: "No more fighting, this thing is so childish. Whoever asks me to play badminton in the future, I will
Who are you in a hurry with?"
Ma Qiao suddenly panicked and said: "No, no, no, Bu Shuai, let's play two more sets. I'm not even sweating. Please, play two more sets. I'm begging you."
Being able to get along with Lu Meimei so happily is what Ma Qiao has wanted all his life. Let alone playing badminton, even if he is allowed to farm, it would be sweet!
You idiot, you can forget about it in normal times, but now my woman is here, you won’t let me hit a ball, I’m going to beat your sister, md, I can’t even beat your sister, so I’m going to beat her! The more Li Qi thought about it, the more he got
Angry, this guy is so ignorant, he rolled his eyes, pointed at Ma Qiao and cursed angrily: "What a Ma Qiao, you came to my room last night and asked me to help you create a chance to get along with Mei Mei, but -
-But you treat me like this and don't even give me any face. It's so abominable. Don't ever come to me to beg me again."
Ma Qiao was immediately stunned.
The half-drunk drunkard who had just been lying on the bench next to him sat up suddenly when he heard this. He looked at Ma Qiao with a wicked smile and said: "Xiao Qiao, you have finally enlightened yourself."
Ma Qiao was so angry that he threw the racket at him and roared: "Asshole, wasn't I drinking with you last night?"
The drunkard easily grabbed the racket thrown by Ma Qiao, thought for a moment, scratched his neck, and said, "I was drunk last night and I don't remember."
Ma Qiao's eyes widened, and he quickly turned to Lu Meimei and said, "Junior sister, I---."
Lu Meimei nodded and said: "Brother, you don't need to say anything. I know they are united to punish you. How could you do such a boring thing?"
As if caught in the spring breeze, Ma Qiao's face bloomed with dazzling brilliance and said: "Junior sister, I am so touched that I am a brother. You are the only one in the world who understands me as a brother."
Li Qi wiped his sweat and said hehe: "What Meimei said means that she doesn't understand you very well. You are still a wolf in sheep's clothing."
"Bu Shuai's metaphor is really to the point." The drunkard chuckled, spinning the racket three or four times on his fingertips, and said with a smile: "Meimei, since Xiaoqiao is not willing to play with you, then I will compete with you as a teacher.
A few plates, please.”
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a short knife sinking into one end of the bench, only twenty centimeters away from his vital part.
The drunkard was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he suddenly heard a very cold voice saying: "Racket."
The drunkard didn't even raise his head, and threw the racket over in a panic. He knew that Maqiao had two daggers, and cried to Lu Meimei: "Meimei, look at your senior brother, he is so respectful to his teachers.
."
Lu Meimei was sandwiched between them, and she was extremely speechless. She threw the racket to the drunkard and said, "Master, I think it's better for you and senior brother to play."
The drunkard picked up the ball, raised his head, and said proudly: "Xiaoqiao, do you dare to fight?"
Ma Qiao said calmly: "Whoever loses will not be allowed to drink tomorrow."
"Not coming."
