Chapter 291: Lu You sent Sun to see Zhao Bai, Zhao Bai angrily scolded Shi Mi...
When Zhao Bai returned to the General's Mansion, the sky was already slightly bright.
He was about to take a rest when he heard a report coming from outside the door, saying that someone from Shanyin wanted to see the general.
Shanyin, Zhejiang, is the hometown of Lu You, the famous patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty.
84-year-old Lu You is recuperating in his hometown.
Zhao Bai had always admired Lu You. When he heard that the visitor was coming from Shanyin, he didn't care that he was very tired and quickly invited the visitor to the living room.
The visitor was none other than Lu Yuanting, Lu You’s grandson.
"General."
As soon as Lu Yuanting saw Zhao Bai, he knelt down and presented a poem manuscript full of poems.
Zhao Bai took the poem manuscript with trembling hands.
"When I die, I know that everything is in vain, but I am sad that I will not see the same people in all nine continents. When Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, he never forgot to tell me about family sacrifices."
Zhao Bai's eyes were fixed on this short four-line poem, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He understood Lu You's mood at this time very well.
No patriotic person would be willing to have his heart taken away by the Kingdom of Jin.
Any patriotic person longs for the victory of the Northern Expedition, the return of his homeland, and the reunification of the motherland.
But, as Lu You said, Jiuzhou is different, so I can only feel sad secretly.
Zhao Bai's eyes were moist.
"How is the old man's health?"
"Back to General, Grandpa's health is getting worse and worse."
Lu Yuanting raised his head, his dark eyes flashing with sadness.
"My grandfather heard that the God of War was back a few months ago, and he became very energetic. He clamored to come to Lin'an, join the command of the God of War, and contribute to the Northern Expedition."
Lu Yuanting added: "Grandpa heard that General Zhao became the prefect of Lin'an and solved several major cases. At that time, he felt that Lin'an was blessed, but where is the blessing of the Song Dynasty?"
There was no trace of complaint in Lu Yuanting's eyes, but Zhao Bai felt uncomfortable all over.
He knew that he had given up fighting the enemy on the battlefield to become a small prefect of Lin'an, which had broken the hearts of countless patriotic people who wanted to make the Northern Expedition.
"The old man is still thinking about the future of the Song Dynasty, which really makes Zhao Bai feel ashamed. Brother Yuanting, I hope you can go back and tell the old man that Zhao Bai will treasure this poem by the old man forever. When will Zhao Bai bring the aliens to the world?"
Drive me out of the Central Plains, Zhao Bai will definitely visit the old man in person."
When Lu Yuanting heard this, he leaned over and bowed again: "General Zhao, grandpa's health is not as good as before. Please general Zhao can let grandpa see Jiuzhou Nengtong before he leaves. Don't be like what grandpa's poem said. Wait.
Only at the family ceremony can he know the good news he has been dreaming of."
After sending Lu Yuanting away, Zhao Bai could not calm down for a long time.
On this day, he had just been trained by Mr. Silver Snake, which made him feel how superficial it was for him to be trapped in Lin'an during these days, trapped in worries about Xiaolan and the children.
Everyone tried their best to restore his sanity, not just to make him a small prefect of Lin'an.
His Zhao Jiajun is still waiting for him to raise his arms and attack Huanglong.
As for what he has done in the past few months, perhaps only Shi Miyuan would applaud him.
No, he can't go on like this.
He wanted to find an opportunity to make the Northern Expedition.
Take back the land that was plundered by the Jin people, and take back the dignity that was trampled by the foreigners.
"General, the Sixth Prince is here."
Zhao Bai quickly said please.
Qin Shaobai walked in wearing the clothes of Jin Yiwei commander Shi.
"Sixth Prince, what are you..."
Zhao Bai asked as he introduced Qin Shaobai into the secret room.
"Shaobai, why are you wearing official uniform? Where have you been these past few days?"
Qin Shaobai threw the thick official uniform directly onto the chair.
"I don't know who designed this dress. It's so damn cumbersome. It's almost suffocating me."
"Imperial City Secretary's clothes are already very light, mainly to facilitate your movement."
Zhao Bai explained.
Looking at Qin Shaobai's tired face, he asked again: "Where has Shaobai been these past few days? Why didn't even I say anything?"
"Stop talking about it. This is really the first time I have seen such a tragic scene. It can truly be called purgatory."
"What is purgatory?"
Zhao Bai asked puzzledly.
"Purgatory is part of Dante's trilogy."
Qin Shao laughed as soon as the words came out of his mouth, "Don't ask me who Dante is. He is just like Su Dongpo and Lu You in our Song Dynasty. He is a famous literati."
When Zhao Bai heard about Lu You, he lamented again.
He showed Lu You's final poem to Qin Shaobai, but he held his hands together, walked slowly, and started reciting it slowly.
Qin Shaobai could memorize this song "Shi'er" when he was in elementary school, and has heard countless people recite it.
But I feel that what I heard today is the most moving.
"Yes, everyone wants to reunify the motherland. General Zhao, it is not a long-term solution for the Song Dynasty to live in a corner. Even if it is a trapped beast, we have to fight for that trapped beast."
Zhao Bai listened quietly and suddenly held Qin Shaobai's hand.
"Shaobai, I know you have the ability to predict. Can you tell us about the future of our Song Dynasty?"
Qin Shaobai almost said that the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty.
Before the words were spoken, I felt the world was dark.
Sure enough, the secret cannot be revealed.
"Actually, the Song Dynasty can still be saved, especially General Zhao, your awakening is most likely an opportunity given to the Song Dynasty by God."
Qin Shaobai could only say implicitly that he believed that with Zhao Bai's intelligence, he would be able to understand what he meant.
"Does Shaobai also think that now is the time?" Zhao Baihua was asking Qin Shaobai, but his eyes fell far away.
It was obvious that he was talking to himself.
"Time waits for no one, and there is not much time left for the Song Dynasty. There is a Jin Kingdom in front of it, and there may be another one behind it..."
"Shaobai, after you finish speaking, what threats are there behind Da Song?"
"In order to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside. The Song Dynasty is now in devastation. In the past ten days or so that I have been out, all I have seen is the displacement of the people."
"People are displaced?"
Seeing Qin Shaobai nodding, Zhao Bai couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? Last night, the emperor and I went to inspect the people's situation. We clearly saw that the streets were very lively and the people were laughing and laughing. There were no refugees at all as you mentioned.
"
"General Zhao, you are going to patrol the streets with the Emperor. Is this really a secret?"
"Shaobai, what do you mean?"
"In our hometown, whenever a big shot comes, the officials in our hometown will come and get vaccinated."
"What is vaccination?"
"Simply put, it's about being fully prepared."
"What are they preparing?"
Zhao Bai continued to ask, his face already very ugly.
"For example, drive away all the beggars on the road, clean the dirty streets, find some volunteers, and dress up as happy citizens..."
"Isn't this reasonable? Isn't this the crime of deceiving the emperor and deceiving the emperor's eyes?"
"What General Zhao said is really ridiculous. The things in our hometown are not all learned from history. The Song Dynasty contributed the most richly and colorfully."
"Shaobai means that what we saw last night was all fake and was a deliberate arrangement by Shi Miyuan?"
"General Zhao can arrange a good show of public sacrifice for the emperor to see, why can't Shi Miyuan arrange a good situation for the emperor to see the peace of the country and the people?"
"Shi Miyuan, do you really want to cover up the sky with one hand?"
Zhao Bai roared angrily and slammed his fist on the coffee table next to him.
Unfortunately, the coffee table broke into two pieces in an instant.
