Pang Ji's memorial was submitted three times, and Fu Bi's request to retire was also submitted early. Di Qing requested to retire immediately after the war and recuperate for three years. Yun Zheng should have done the same, and Han Qi had already
To say that Yun Zheng has mental problems is to stand up for him.
The emperor, who was in poor health, was very suspicious. Whether it was marrying off a princess in a big way or leading an army alone from Zhaozhou to Dingzhou, the political significance was very strong.
At this time, no matter whether you are a loyal minister or not, as long as you threaten the succession of the royal family, the old emperor will treat you with the mentality of preferring to kill you instead of letting go.
After Han Qi finished speaking, he returned to the camp. When Yun Zheng saw Zou Tong helping the emperor out to take a bath, he cupped his hands from a distance and left.
At this moment, this weak emperor controls everyone's life.
A long time ago, Yun Zheng had doubted where the foundation of the emperor's rule came from and what was the basis for maintaining his rule. In Yun Zheng's view, the saying that the emperor's power was granted by heaven was untenable.
But the damn people of the Song Dynasty recognized this. The emperor cleverly used divine power to combine royal power, and then tied all cultural rights to his station car. The smoke and dust rolled over him. Yun Zheng thought that he was just a little
The mantis raised his arms to stop the chariot. He was not crushed into a photo by the chariot because he jumped out of the way on his own initiative, thus saving his life.
In this era, anyone who dares to say that the emperor should not appear will definitely be abandoned by everyone. No matter what, China should have an emperor. Regardless of whether the emperor is smart or not, there should be an emperor.
Everyone uses it to scold the foolish emperor, praises the wise emperor, and after scolding the obscene emperor, everyone will say "Why am I not him?" After having such an experience, it is worth dying!
Without the emperor, China's thousands of years of history would be dull and boring. Without the emperor, everyone would have no object of criticism and learning goals. After coming to the Song Dynasty, Yun Zheng learned nothing else but how to have a good relationship with the emperor.
Already.
The emperor is really awesome!
In the past, "Wanhuhou Hou" was just a poem and a thought. Society and people's hearts have not developed to that point to tell everyone that they should make their own decisions. This is purely self-destructive!
After a man with mud legs and three or five people occupied a hilltop, he dared to say that he was an emperor even though he couldn't even write the word "emperor".
All peasant uprisings overthrew tyranny and unfairness, rather than overthrowing the emperor himself. Their goal was just to replace the emperor with a fairer one.
Therefore, at the beginning of every dynasty, the emperor acted relatively fairly. When he became unfair, everyone rebelled and found another emperor to sit on their heads. They never thought that they could be their own masters.
"If the king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if the king regards his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit."
Even the ultimate thought of a great intellectual like Mencius who was full of rebellious spirit was just to hope that the emperor would be nice to everyone. In such an environment, what can you expect?
Yun Zheng himself had unknowingly reached the point where his achievements were so great that if he didn't know how to restrain himself at this time, his end would not be much better than Yue Fei's.
"After returning to Tokyo, can I accompany you back to your parents' home?" Yun Zheng turned over and asked Ge Qiuyan who was lying next to him.
Unexpectedly, one sentence made Ge Qiuyan burst into tears. She hugged her husband and talked about love all night. Although her family was gone, she still wanted to go back and see what the mountain col where she was born and raised had become like now.
"Is it possible to go without my wife? I will put on my royal clothes and bring gifts back. My husband will accompany me. What do you think I should bring? Cakes or silks?"
Yun Zheng regretted what he said. He was so sleepy that he had to talk to his concubine about these useless things.
"Grandma Cao's meat cakes, the sesame cakes outside Dongzhimen, the Zhang family's cheese, the He family's Buddha's hand cakes, etc. You should bring some..."
"I took these things for thousands of miles and by the time they reached the place they had already become moldy."
"It doesn't matter if it's moldy, it was brought back from Tokyo. It's not for everyone to eat, it's for everyone to see..."
"Then you'd better not go back, otherwise the villagers will rake you to death. You went back to show off, not to see the villagers. Besides, many of your villagers are from the Maitreya religion. If I don't like it, I'll chop it with a knife.
what to do?"
"You're sleepy, go to sleep!" Ge Qiuyan unreasonably covered her husband with a blanket, staring wide-eyed not knowing what he was thinking.
The emperor couldn't control his heart, and now he couldn't even control his concubine's heart. Yun Zheng felt that he was useless and could sweat all over his head while sleeping.
At dawn the next day, the first thing all civil and military officials should do is to pay their respects to the emperor. Whether it is an old man with a white beard or a beautiful eunuch, the etiquette is the same. After shouting "Long Live the Mountain", they went their separate ways.
There is no morning to attend.
For the safety of the emperor, the army dispersed the scouts for a full two hundred miles. Hai Dongqing kept circling over the military camp. The civil servants were very busy, and Li Chang carefully served the emperor like a eunuch, leading the emperor full
While walking around the military camp, I even tried firing the Eight Ox Crossbow once. I didn't know what was hit, but there was a burst of crazy cheers from that area.
Originally, Yun Zheng and Shi Zhongxin laid out blankets on the shady slope, laid out food, and planned to have a good drink. Lao Bao found out from somewhere that there was a meal here, so he took a bunch of snacks that he bought at some time.
Came here for a meal.
"My wife put this in a snack box when my husband left Tokyo. Although it is a bit hard, it still tastes good when soaked in water."
The ageless old man was gnawing on a greasy rabbit leg and diligently persuaded the two of them to try the snacks bought by his wife.
In order to make Lao Bao feel more comfortable, Yun Zheng said: "After I return to Tokyo, I plan to take a period of leave and plan to go back to my hometown. I don't want to go home in vain. While there are still people in Dousha Village who recognize me, I will go home early."
go back."
"Dousha Pass has now become an important pass into Dali. There are more than 8,000 troops stationed there, and the Wuchi Road is also covered with post stations. There is an endless stream of merchants coming from the south to the north. Why, Marquis Yun has feelings for the country of Dali again?
Are you interested?"
Yun Zheng patted his forehead and said distressedly: "I want to go back and see if the house I built is still there, whether my land is deserted, and whether the old patriarch is still in good health and has no intention of plotting against Dali Kingdom."
Shi Zhongxin laughed and said: "Old Shi, I believe that you just plan to go back to visit your relatives. Now that you are rich and wealthy, if you don't go back, you will easily get poked in the back."
Lao Bao threw away the bones in his hand, wiped the grease on his beard and pointed to the north: "Are you not going to guard Yanmen Pass anymore?"
Yun Zheng looked at Lao Bao strangely and said: "Do you think it is possible for me to return to Yanmen Pass at this time? Since I can protect His Majesty when he goes to meet the Liao Emperor, I must protect His Majesty when he returns to Beijing. This is a logical thing, Li Chang
Everyone has already helped me pack my luggage."
Lao Bao nodded and said: "The reason why you stay in one place for a short time is because of your ability. I still haven't figured it out yet. You seem to be able to easily take root in every place, no matter where it is, it is a poor place.
It is still a place where the smoke of war is burning. As long as you are let go, the place will soon develop according to your wishes.
The earliest Douchuan was like this, and the following Chengdu was like this, not to mention Dujiangyan. The Xiang army there is still using your methods to clean up the dams and suppress bandits in the mountains. In just a short period of time in Qinzhou,
Years later, the people there even built a shrine for you.
For the benefit of everyone, you have to keep changing places. If you really want to go back to your hometown, it is not impossible. The imperial court will send officials to renovate the village where you are, and His Majesty will also award the village where you are..."
"Are you trying to torture me to death? I just want to be quiet when I go back to my hometown. I will farm the land, cut firewood, and hunt for a few days. If you do this, there will still be life in the village in my hometown.
person?"
Shi Zhongxin laughed so hard that he lay on the grass with a big belly and said: "You, Marquis Yun, will be a famous figure no matter where you go now. Every move you make is meaningful to others. You are a hypocrite but not crazy. Li Dai is too stiff."
, retreat is the way to advance, as long as it is a strategy that others can think of, they think you will use these strategies on them that they themselves cannot understand.
So, you should just stay in Tokyo City honestly, and it will be easy for you and I, Lao Shi, to gamble all day long, and everyone will feel at ease living under everyone's noses."
Yun Zheng knocked the wine pot with a hard snack and said coldly: "No matter what they think, I will go back anyway. The old patriarch wrote a letter, saying that if I don't go back, he won't be able to see me...
The person I owe the most to in my life is the old patriarch. He hopes that I will be called upon by the Donghua Sect. He hopes that I will become a great hero when I become famous. For this reason, he risked his life to help me.
Now I managed to do it reluctantly, and planned to wear official uniforms to show him what the high officials of the Song Dynasty were like.
In the past, the old patriarch thought that as long as he studied well, he would gain fame, become a high official, and have many beautiful wives. I didn't understand anything at the time, so I took the old patriarch's wishes as my own and pursued them. Now I am successful.
Yes, he is the most qualified person to judge me, Yun Zheng! How could I let him down!
All the filth in the world cannot enter Dousha Village. It is the last piece of pure land in my mind, Yunzheng. My body is in Tokyo, but my soul is in Dousha Village, where my soul is supported. Anyone who dares to intrude will die!"
When the word "death" came out of his mouth, Shi Zhongxin shuddered. He looked carefully at Yun Zheng's eyes that had no emotion at all, and whispered to Bao Zheng: "We have reached the bottom line. If we push further, someone will die."
