"In fact, the heart of the king is the will of the people and the will of God. He holds the power of life and death in his hand, and controls the killing on behalf of heaven. The yin in his left hand is the bright moon, the yang in his right hand is the scorching sun, and his heart is a steelyard to weigh yin and yang..."
Li Dezheng talked a lot while drunk. Yun Zheng listened for a while and then left. He felt that if he continued to listen, he would probably strangle the emperor of Jiaozhi alive.
Arrogance, self-pity, and self-love to the extreme are more disgusting than the dirtiest, filthiest, and most despicable people in the world. Yun Zheng originally planned to remove all benefits from Li Dezheng and let him work with those coolies.
Well, before the order was sent out, Yu Jing rejected it without giving Yun Zheng a reasonable explanation.
Yu Jing waited until the night shift was quiet before saying word by word to Yun Zheng: "You can kill Li Dezheng, but you cannot humiliate Li Dezheng. You can deprive Li Dezheng of his imperial power, but you cannot humiliate the imperial power."
After saying this, Yu Jing patted Yun Zheng on the shoulder and went back to his tent to rest...
Yun Zheng scratched his head, thought for a long time, and then gave up the idea of rectifying Li Dezheng. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and found that today is the time of the full lunar month. The huge moon with a little yellowish light rose from the top of the mountain.
rising.
There is a jungle wolf howling at the moon in the deep mountains. The sound is long and pleasant, with a strange charm in it. Perhaps the sound of the wolf howling is too pleasant. A large group of bats fly out from the deep mountains, like a dark cloud dancing under the moon.
.
Wild wolves, bats, wilderness, bright moon, and the lonely and silent Yun Zheng formed a beautiful picture. Yun Zheng barely suppressed his urge to howl with the wild wolves, and the blood in his chest rolled fiercely.
He drew out his sword and threw it into the distance with all his strength...
The bat is too far away, the moon is too high, the wilderness is too big, and the wild wolf is nowhere to be seen, so he can't cut or hurt anything, and he has to pick up the sword by himself. This is really depressing.
Monkey and Han Niu hid in the darkness of the tent and secretly watched their young master. They didn't understand who the young master wanted to kill. It would be better to use a crossbow instead of throwing a sword. If the eight cow crossbow was not available, it was also a good choice. There was no need to throw it away.
Throw out such a good sword.
Han Niu even knew that his young master had a dagger in his arms that was as sharp as clay. He used it as a fork on weekdays to peel fruit and cut meat. When he was bored, he could even take it out to play with a knife.
game.
This game is very popular in the army. Draw a two-foot square piece of land on the ground, and then draw seven or eight very thin lines in the middle, one half for each person. The knife is the army attacking the city. If you want to cross which thin lines, you need to
Accurately using the knife to the thin line means that you have broken through the opponent's defense line, and then you can connect the points where the knife blade has been inserted. This is the result of your own attack on the city. When it comes to winning or losing, naturally one side's land is completely occupied, and the other side's land is completely occupied.
A victory is won only if the knife has no place to stand.
Could it be said that the young master is getting used to playing with swords today? It is rare to play with a sword.
Yun Zheng knew that there was no reason to be so angry. What Yu Jing said was not wrong at all. Li Dezheng's life and death was nothing, but the imperial power this guy once possessed prevented him from being stepped on like mud.
It is easy to think of this kind of thing. Insulting the imperial power means that you despise the imperial power. Then using simple mathematical formulas, you can quickly deduce the absurd result that insulting Li Dezheng means insulting Zhao Zhen.
Even though the arithmetic of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty could be called nonsense, their ability to deduce this kind of causal relationship had long been proficient. Anything that had anything to do with Zhao Zhen's majesty and dignity would be a big accident.
At this time, Yun Zheng listened to the howling of wild wolves, and was extremely envious of the iron-blooded Shi Hu during the Five Husty China period. He could do whatever he wanted with his powerful army. This guy tied a dog chain around the emperor's neck and treated the emperor as a pet.
How exciting it was when.
Yun Zheng took his sword and chopped a piece of wood randomly to vent his dissatisfaction. After all, he was not a cruel beast like Shi Hu, and he couldn't do the kind of cruel things that could be passed down through the ages.
"General!"
A merchant stood hunched behind Yun Zheng, looking submissive and looking like he had something to say.
"What's the matter?" Yun Zheng asked impatiently. These people are obsessed with money all day long, and their mouths smell like copper.
"General, I have found a new piece of wood for you. You can chop that piece of wood." Seeing Yun Zheng's eyes flashing fiercely, the merchant shrank his neck but bravely pointed at the wood carried by the two caravan guards.
explain.
"What's the difference?"
"The stick you chopped is sandalwood, and it is the property of the villain."
Yun Zheng looked at the big piece of wood under his feet, touched it with his hand and found that it was indeed sandalwood. He felt a little distressed, and frowned and said: "Then change it to another one, forget it, don't cut it, it's bad luck..."
When the merchant saw Yun Zheng walking into the tent angrily, he immediately lay down on the huge, but not yet hollow, perfect sandalwood and rubbed it heartbrokenly. He pointed at Yun Zheng's tent and wanted to yell at Yun Zheng, but he didn't dare.
He had no choice but to slap his own thigh with a bitter slap.
The emperor was an unavoidable topic in the Song Dynasty. He was the center of the Song Dynasty. Everything in the Song Dynasty needed to take care of the interests of the emperor before it could be implemented. Yun Zheng believed that the emperor was the biggest obstacle to the Song Dynasty, and others
Many people in the Song Dynasty believed that the emperor was the foundation of the Song Dynasty.
No matter who becomes the emperor, there should always be an emperor. Ordinary people think so.
Snakes have no heads but cannot move, birds have no wings and cannot fly. People come to seek refuge with their masters, and birds come to seek refuge in the forest. This is the idea of the elite of the Song Dynasty. As for those who have learned literature and martial arts and bought into the emperor's family, Yun Zheng almost doesn't bother to think about such brainless ideas.
As an example.
After thinking about it all night, Yun Zheng finally came up with the idea that he was in a feudal dynasty and needed to take good pictures of the emperor's horses, and he had to rack his brains to do so.
After figuring out his thoughts, Yun Zheng felt that he had wasted his thoughts and worries last night. He could not get out of the predicament, so he had to act according to the rules, just like the knife game he often played. In the end
The imperial city circle is always the most difficult to break. Once you accidentally cross that line, you will be sentenced to lose.
On the table is a letter written by Yun Er and Su Shi. It is full of praise for the Song Dynasty and admiration for the emperor. If others read this letter, they will definitely say that these are two smart and sensible children.
But what Yun Zheng saw between the lines was an extreme dislike of the royal family. They also asked in the letter not to disband Wu Sheng's army, but to hand over this army to the emperor...
Not only Yun Er and Su Shi mean this, but Yu Jing also means this. The old man is always walking around the military camp these days. Looking at the vulgar soldiers is like seeing treasures one by one, and the rough guys in the military camp are also from time to time.
From the bottom of my heart, I had a good impression of this kind and unassuming high-ranking official of the imperial court.
Therefore, whenever a soldier mentioned that he planned to remove his armor and return to the fields, Yu Jing would tell the soldiers how stupid it was for him to want to remove his armor and return to the fields from a series of perspectives such as clan etiquette, honoring the ancestors, the future of his descendants, etc.
Gradually, the soldiers' desire to remove their armor and return to the field faded away, and more people just wanted to use their military exploits to get themselves a better position.
Yu Jing was very satisfied with the scene. He even felt that he was helping Yun Zheng regain the morale of the army that had collapsed. He didn't know that once the morale of the military collapsed, it would never be regained. How do you expect a person with a grassy heart to serve this country? What a dream.
Go for it!
Twelve scholars, including Zhou Tong, Wu Jie, Langtan, and Chu Dazhi, took advantage of their free time to almost abandon military affairs and actively seek advice from Yu Jing, a great scholar, in preparation for this year's competition.
Yu Jing, who had been in the examination room for a long time, finally found his place of use. He gathered all these military princes, taught them in detail, and told these people his experience in the examination room without any concealment.
In the last competition of the Song Dynasty, he was one of the examiners. If this was in Tokyo, he would definitely avoid suspicion and not see guests at home. But this is Guangnan, and it is still in Wuchao City, which is full of soldiers and merchants, so
The old man lectured unscrupulously, and even dared to help Zhou Tong and the others with exam questions.
Yun Zheng felt that he didn’t need to be so serious. Someone would definitely tell him the test questions when the time came. The emperor had already mentioned it in the secret decree given to him. He felt that it would not be a problem for Yun Zheng to pass the Sandingjia test! The roll call at Donghua Gate was the icing on the cake.
matter.
Since the emperor said so, someone might help him answer the exam. Yun Zheng thought beautifully that only then would he feel that the emperor was a good person. If he could not regard himself as the emperor, he would be perfect.
.
The eccentric thinking of modern people is fighting the fiercest battle with the ideological system of the Song Dynasty. Strictly speaking, both ideas are new ideas. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Who cares, wait and see which side wins.
Let’s talk about it later.
At the end of April, Guangnan is already as hot as a steamer. Perhaps the rainy season has given Guangyuan Prefecture new vitality. Malaria, a terrible disease, has finally left this land. I heard from the sentry that nowadays, except for bones, it is rare to see people lying dead.
Liao people, this is the power of nature. Those beasts, maggots, and bacteria have finally eliminated the root cause of the disease. The first heavy rain of the rainy season has powerfully washed away the last trace of carrion in the wasteland.
After a while, the overgrown weeds gradually submerged the white bones, and the entire Guangnan returned to its previous tranquility.
The tail end of the war has not yet been cleaned up. After the war, if there is no intention to continue the war, civil servants will go to discuss post-war matters with the enemy. This time the person coming from the capital turned out to be Wen Yanbo.
It was completely beyond Yun Zheng's expectation that such a big boss came to negotiate with the little Jiaozhi. However, when he saw Wen Yanbo, he immediately understood why he was sent here. He is now the new third envoy of the Song Dynasty.
When Wen Yanbo arrived in Wuchao, he randomly sent a doctor from the Ministry of Rites to follow the Jiaozhi envoy to Jiaozhi, and he asked Yunzheng unceremoniously where the treasures of the Jiaozhi palace were! (To be continued)
