Lin Jue laughed and said, "Has Mr. Zhao begun to miss the past? Sure enough, he is full of history books and his mouth is full of words."
Zhao Youji hurriedly raised his hands and said: "It's a joke, it's a joke. What does it mean to be a low-ranking official in front of Mr. Lin? It's the first time for Mr. Lin to come to Bolangsha Bar. Don't you have some feelings? How about writing a poem? How about it?
?”
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hands and said: "That's all, just write poems and forget about it. Don't dare to show your embarrassment."
Zhao Youji said: "Lin Da's humanistic reputation is known all over the world. How can we come to Bolangsha without leaving poems to be passed down to future generations? If I leave a poem, I can frame it and hang it in the pavilion for people to appreciate.
.Isn’t it also a good story?”
Lin Jue was sweating on his back, but when he saw Zhao Youji's face full of expectation, he refused to show weakness. So he thought for a while and nodded: "Well, let's try to compose a song. If it's not neat, don't make anyone laugh. I'll only give it to Zhao County.
Keep it privately, but there is no need to hang it in the Bolang Pavilion to admire it."
Zhao Youji said happily: "That's great. Would you like to give it to me? I would be honored."
Lin Jue smiled and nodded, pondered for a moment, and then slowly chanted: "With a single blow of courage in the chariot, the ancestral dragon's grain will be shaken; how come there are twelve golden people outside, but the iron of the world is still unsold?"
Zhao Youji frowned at first, thinking that Lin Jue's poem was very ordinary, but he soon smiled. This poem may not be neat enough, but it has profound meaning.
"Good poem, good poem. In order to bring peace to the world, the Qin Dynasty burned books, ensnared scholars, and collected the world's soldiers. They cast twelve bronze figures and stood in Xianyang. They thought that burning books could fool the people, and collecting the world's weapons and melting them down would prevent the people from rebelling. Don't you know?
There will still be big iron cones that appear out of the sky, shocking the world with one blow, and shaking the country with one blow. It can be seen that if we want to stabilize the country and the country, we must not rely on these stupid and defensive strategies." Zhao Youji said thoughtfully.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "What does Mr. Zhao think he relies on?"
Zhao Youji thought: "I think... we should only rely on the support of the people. If the people support it, the world will be at peace and the country will be stable. If the people support it, there will be thousands of precautions and it will be difficult to be stable."
Lin Jue raised his big finger and said: "That makes sense, I will give this poem to you. I will give it to you in handwriting later."
Zhao Youji was overjoyed and bowed his hands in thanks.
Wei Dakui on the side couldn't hold it any longer. The two people came to the city and chatted about poetry, recited poems and praised them, making it very lively. Wei Dakui was bored and bored, and finally couldn't help it at this moment.
Open your mouth.
"Hey, have you guys had enough? We agreed that we were here to see the city's defense terrain, but why are we chattering about so many irrelevant things? It's really boring. If this continues, I'm going to go back and take a nap.
"
Lin Jue and Zhao Youji looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time. Zhao Youji hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Don't be weird, Wei Dutou, let's get down to business now."
…
After patrolling the top of the city, Lin Jue also returned to the post and took a nap with Bai Bing in his arms. When he got up, he found that it was already dark. Zhao Youji ordered someone to come and invite him, saying that a banquet was held in the lobby of the Yamen to welcome King Jin, Lin Jue and others.
Lin Jue hurriedly organized and rushed to the Yamen lobby. Zhao Youji, Wei Dakui, Huang Ziyuan and others were already waiting in the lobby.
There were some wine and food on the table, all of which were ordinary home-cooked dishes. The meat dishes were only a plate of fish and a plate of chicken. It was not really a banquet.
After waiting for a long time, King Jin Guo Mian came out of the back office, looking sleepy. He had slept since afternoon and slept until dark, but he didn't seem to wake up. When King Jin came out, everyone was busy.
He stood up and saluted. Guo Mian stretched his waist, yawned and waved his hands casually, then sat down on the chair.
Lin Juexiao asked: "His Royal Highness, King Jin, did you sleep well? Has the sleepiness in your body been relieved?"
King Jin rolled his eyes and said: "Don't mention it now, it will kill me. I say Zhao Youji, there are so many fleas in your back office bed, but you don't even clean them up. They bite me all over the body and make me itchy."
It's terrible. Is this how you and your family sleep on weekdays? It's really unreasonable. It sucked at least half a pound of my blood."
Zhao Youji smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, forgive me, but there are indeed some fleas. This is just a small county town, not comparable to His Highness's residence in the capital. It is also difficult to remove fleas. I will order someone to help clean it up later."
Guo Mian waved his hand and said: "That's all, I've already bitten you, can I bite you again? You have to eat something good to replenish it. Oh, Zhao Youji, is this the banquet you are talking about? This counts.
Banquet? Where is this place for people to eat? Zhao Youji, are you serious about this?"
Zhao Youji was startled and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, this is the best banquet I can get. We have nothing here. The fish are from the swamps and puddles outside, and the pheasants are from the sand dunes and thorn bushes."
What’s left is game.”
"What kind of game? Can this be eaten? At least beef and mutton must be cooked. It's so stingy. I don't believe there are no cattle and sheep in the city." Guo Mian shouted.
"Your Highness, there are indeed cattle and sheep. But cattle are used for farming, and sheep are raised and milked by the common people. We can't afford to eat here. When the rebellion of the bandits subsides, the common people will go out of the city to go home and farm. Now the city
The supply of food and vegetables here is very tight, and the people are all eating steamed buns, pickles, and pickles. We have fresh vegetables, fish and chicken, which is already very good. I don’t dare to neglect His Highness at all." Zhao Youji frowned.
Guo Mian rolled his eyes and said nothing. Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your Highness, in extraordinary times, we can just make do with it. Magistrate Zhao has been very attentive. The court will know about Your Highness's hardships. After returning to Beijing in triumph, these things will happen in the future."
We will report it to the imperial court, and the emperor must highly appreciate His Highness's hard-working spirit."
Guo Mian was not stupid. He waved his hand and said, "That's all. Why should I report this to the imperial court? Let's just eat. I won't drink any more wine, so as not to have anyone else talk. I'm also very hungry, so I need to eat."
Fortunately, Guo Mian didn't drink. Otherwise, if he tasted the wine, he would probably spit it out on the spot. What Zhao Youji got was bad privately brewed wine. Guo Mian, who was used to drinking fine wine, would probably mistake it for horse urine.
It was bitter, sour and astringent, and he would definitely not be able to swallow it.
Guo Mian reluctantly ate a bowl of rice and then stopped eating. Lin Jue and others ate with gusto. They ate all the dishes on the table like a storm.
"Tell me, what did you discuss this afternoon? What should we do next? Stay here and wait for Guo Kun and the others to come? Is there any news from the bandits? Is there any news from Guo Kun and the others?" Guo Mian asked.
Ah Qian felt sleepy again, squinting his eyes and asking vaguely.
"I am about to report to the general. The news from Du Yuhou has not been sent yet. After all, it has only been two days. I guess they may have just arrived in Fengqiu. Maybe they have just started a war with the cult bandits. The cult bandits here have not moved either. I guess
We have all gone to attack Fengqiu. The general can rest here and wait for the news." Wei Dakui said, wiping his mouth.
Guo Mian nodded and said: "That's good, it's okay. You can have a peaceful sleep tonight. If there is nothing else, I'd better go and have a good sleep. My body is extremely sore and I haven't recovered in two or three days.
But I’m here. I’ll leave it to you guys to take care of things here.”
Guo Mian stood up with a yawn, and everyone hurriedly stood up and handed each other goodbye. Lin Jue sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say. But he can understand after thinking about it. Guo Mian was pushed to the shelf, and he was already
He is not suitable to fight the rebellion. He should drink and have fun with his group of literati and do so-called elegant things. Being forced to lead the army to fight the rebellion is indeed torture for him. His body is already worn out just by marching.
It would have killed him, so he was lucky that he didn't give orders randomly.
Just when Guo Mian got up and walked to the back office, suddenly, someone rushed towards the lobby door and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, County Magistrate Zhao, County Lieutenant Huang, something serious is going to happen."
Everyone was startled and turned to look. Guo Mian also stopped and looked at the door of the lobby in shock. He saw a government official running in, shouting loudly.
"What's going on? You're in a panic. Say something quickly." Huang Ziyuan shouted.
"Lord County Lieutenant, something serious has happened. The beacon fires on the six sand dunes of Bolangsha outside the east gate have been lit. It seems that a large number of soldiers and horses are coming." The yamen officer shouted.
"What?" Everyone exclaimed and stayed where they were.
…
The lights in Yingtianfu Yamen are bright. The Qing Sect's Holy Gong, Hai Dongqing, is the chief, and dozens of guardians are sitting on both sides of the lower head. Hai Dongqing's expression is stern and cold.
The brazen uprising a few days ago was a great success. Dozens of prefectures and counties on the east and west roads of Beijing and five counties in northern Beijing were attacked one after another under the brazen attacks of the believers. Overnight, the Qingjiao, which originally had no territory, suddenly
With the possession of large tracts of cities and territory, news of the seizure of prefectures and counties from various places spread, and the whole church rejoiced and their morale was high.
Hai Dongqing was naturally happy. At this moment, he really felt the power he had. This was something he had never had before. But after the carnival, after Hai Dongqing calmed down, he realized that this was just
After catching the court by surprise, the next round is when the court is about to strike. Blind optimism will only ruin everything. No matter how you look at it, the next decision is a matter of life and death.
The previous agreement with the Liao people was now a piece of paper. Yelu Zongyuan was still being dragged by the Jurchens at this moment, and it seemed that he could not even cope with the Jurchens. At this time, the so-called strategy of cooperating with the inside and outside was simply impossible to achieve.
.It was actually a helpless move for him to be forced to launch a hasty revolt. Without the response of the Liao people, he would definitely be defeated as soon as the imperial army came out.
Haidongqing knew what he had in his hands. The number of followers seemed huge, but they relied entirely on the power of deception and enthusiasm. Those Qingjiao believers were just ordinary people. Facing the suppression of powerful officers and soldiers,
Sometimes, when facing death and frustration, they will wake up quickly. Therefore, it is actually unrealistic to really rely on the ordinary members of the Qingjiao to do something. So they need to find a way out immediately.
, otherwise the imperial army will be encircled and suppressed, and everything will eventually turn into a mirror.
