Chapter 122 The Book of Songs, Tang Feng, Yangzhishui
The common people have long heard the news that their relatives will return from the battlefield.
However, after experiencing too many hopes and disappointments, this expectation has gradually turned into despair. They no longer believe in such rumors. They dare not believe it. They are afraid that in the end, this expectation will only be shattered again. When
The old man who was working looked at the endless soil in front of him and wiped his tears when the son he had longed for appeared beside him and took the hoe from him with one hand.
The old people looked at their sons, and they were a little confused. Did they die and see their son's soul?
When they knelt down heavily in front of their parents and hugged their legs, they burst into tears and touched their son's face and body. All their words turned into sobs. They were just sobs and couldn't say anything.
, not all people are so lucky. Some young people who have been traumatized by the war return home, but they can only see the bare graveyards and houses covered with cobwebs.
There are cries everywhere in Handan, and no laughter coming home can be heard.
The children cried the loudest, looking at the familiar strangers whom they always missed but could not remember their faces. These rough men hugged their children hard, and even if the children cried in pain, they were not willing to let go.
, the soldiers who had been bleeding finally had a chance to shed tears. The whole Zhao Kingdom was boiling. More and more soldiers returned to their hometowns. The lifeless Zhao Kingdom suddenly came to life!
The return of young people brings the greatest vitality.
It's like a baby is born and wakes up with cries. The cries in Handan are exactly the cries of newborn babies. Suddenly, there are many pedestrians in Handan City. The returning soldiers hold their children in their arms and lead them with them.
He took them to the streets. Although the market was closed and there were no restaurants or bars, they just wanted to go around with their families and see their hometowns. The merchants opened their eyes wide, crying and laughing at the same time.
walked out of the house.
Zhao Guo woke up.
Strong men appeared on the farmland again. They waved farm tools and began to turn over the soil and sow seeds. Their wives were preparing meals in the distance, looking at their husbands in the farmland. The old people were holding their grandchildren and sitting in the countryside.
They were chatting at the gate of the city.
Mafujun, Mafujun.
When the soldiers came back, Ma Fujun's name once again appeared in the mouths of the Zhao people. It was Ma Fujun who asked them to come back to serve their families. It was also Ma Fujun who defeated the Qin people and saved them. There was no common people who did not thank him, and no common people who did not thank him.
Almost all Zhao people who loved him were blessing his hero. On this day, many people from Handan spontaneously rushed to Mafu Township.
The prison gates were all frightened. Mr. Mafu didn’t leave many guests. He blocked these people and refused to let them in. The villagers in Mafu rushed out holding their farm tools. Who dared to come to Mafu?
Making trouble?? These people repeatedly explained that they came to thank Ma Fujun's mother. The prison gate did not let them all in. They were divided into thirty people and entered one by one. Then, various people came to the door of Ma Fujun's courtyard.
.
When Zhao's mother heard this, she also walked out of the courtyard tremblingly.
Those young people who returned and their families kowtowed to Mother Zhao again and again, treating her as their elders. Faced with the gratitude of so many people, Mother Zhao’s excitement was indescribable, and these returning children
The soldiers also brought gifts, mostly toys. It turned out that they had heard that Ma Fujun had a son, and these toys were given to Ma Fuzi. Mother Zhao was speechless.
When the curious maid came out with the little guy in her arms, she was immediately surrounded by people.
"You really look like Mr. Ma Fu!"
"Yes, when you grow up, you will definitely be as wise and wise as Ma Fujun."
"The Kingdom of Zhao needs another wise man!"
The little guy was not afraid at all when he saw so many strangers in the maid's arms. He stared at them with his eyes wide open and blinked.
Just when the entire Zhao Kingdom was waking up from the dead silence, a song spread throughout the country. Many children were jumping and playing in the villages, singing, and the old people were sitting
Not far away, people were laughing and chatting, occasionally hearing children's songs and complaining a few times. Just then I listened with a smile and heard the children singing:
"The water in the small river flows gurglingly, and the smooth rocks are washed away and stirred up. The soldiers in white clothes and red collars are ready to go, following him from Quwo to the battlefield. We have met the brave lord, what else is not happy about?"
"The water in the river is gurgling, and the smooth rocks are shining white. The soldiers, dressed in white and red sleeves, are ready to go and follow him from Huyi to the battlefield. We have seen the brave lord, what else can we worry about?"
"The water in the river is gurgling, and the rocks at the bottom reflect the sparkling waves. I just got the order to start an uprising, and I don't dare to tell anyone and spread it around easily!"
The faces of the old people changed greatly. Several old people stood up in a hurry and yelled at the children: "Shut up! Stop singing!" This song "Yangzhishui" tells a story. When Jin Zhaohou granted him the title,
His uncle became a disciple in Quwo and was named Uncle Huan. Uncle Huan was good at charity and a well-known sage. He was very popular among the people and the people all attached to him. Later, Uncle Huan rose up and was killed by Pan Fu, a minister of Jin.
Jin Zhaohou wants to welcome Uncle Huan as king.
And this poem "Yang Zhishui" is about the scene where Uncle Huan's army is ready to go, preparing to follow Uncle Huan to kill the capital.
In Handan City, King Zhao, dressed in aristocratic costumes, led several of his ministers and walked happily on the streets. Ever since the war in Wu'an City spread to the royal city, King Zhao was smiling from ear to ear. Zhao Guo defeated
After defeating the powerful Qin State, Ma Fujun defeated the King of Qin's Wu'an Jun. Thinking of this, King Zhao excitedly pulled his ministers and told them over and over again how he had overridden everyone's opinions and asked Ma Fujun to rush to the battlefield.
Ma Fujun is almost on the lips of King Zhao.
No matter who he met, he would always mention Ma Fujun's extraordinary qualities, and he also decided on the reward for Ma Fujun. He originally planned to give Boyang, Pingyang, Anyang, and Zhongmou as fiefdoms to Ma Fujun.
, Yu Qing's face turned pale, and he hurriedly pulled King Zhao: No, if you grant it like this, Handan County will become Mafu County. Mafu Lord is still so young, you can give him such a reward now, and wait for him in the future.
If you make meritorious service again, how do you want to seal it?
The ministers in the palace tried to dissuade him, but King Zhao had no choice but to put Yu Qing in charge of the matter.
King Zhao has not dared to leave the palace for a long time. When he first came to the throne, he made an oath to revitalize the State of Zhao and use those world-famous talents to make other countries dare not underestimate the State of Zhao. In these years, reality has
He is always beating his ideals. He dare not leave the palace. When he sees the empty Handan, he will be afraid. There is an echo all the time, reminding him: Dan, this is all your fault.
Now, he finally dared to walk out of the palace.
Seeing the merchants on the road, King Zhao felt very friendly, and even bought some things from them that he didn't need at all. The censor Zhao Hui was following behind him. He needed to record the words and deeds of the king, and there were many things about the relationship between the king and his ministers.
The secret conversation between them could be passed down to later generations because of people like him. King Zhao looked very happy, smiling silly as he looked at Handan who had come back to life.
Occasionally, he would stop to talk to passers-by and talk about the war with the returning soldiers.
The soldiers talked about Ma Fujun's illustrious martial arts with enthusiastic expressions. Zhao Hui squinted his eyes and looked at King Zhao. After hearing these words, King Zhao was not angry but happy, and even wanted to reward him. Zhao Hui sighed secretly and continued to follow.
Behind him, King Zhao wandered around all day and was about to go back. Suddenly, he heard the familiar poem "Yang Zhi Shui" from several children in the distance.
King Zhao was stunned. After listening for a moment, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and he suddenly became silent.
Zhao Hui stepped forward and said with some confusion: "I don't know why, but after those soldiers returned, people from all over the Zhao Kingdom were singing Yangzhi Shui." King Zhao was speechless and hurried towards the palace, listening to
There was still the harsh Yangzhi water beside him. Zhao Hui lowered his head, smiled, and hurriedly followed. When King Zhao returned to the palace, he suddenly said that he was ill and stopped entertaining the officials. He stayed alone all day.
In the palace.
"Xiang Yu, please go back... Your Majesty is ill and cannot see you." The warrior was a little embarrassed and blocked Yu Qing in front of him.
Yu Qing looked haggard and did not have the same demeanor as in the past. During these days, Yu Qing was handling the logistics of Zhao's army by himself, collecting grain, distributing seeds, and sowing for spring festivals. This personable appearance was almost unbearable.
He has not had a good night's sleep. Even now, he still has to record the soldiers who have returned from various places, reward them, and let them put into farming as soon as possible, distribute the cattle, and allocate the cultivated land of the dead.
Yu Qing has no free time.
Without Yu Qing in the country, it would be impossible for Zhao Kuo to fight Bai Qi with peace of mind.
He is also the only minister in the palace who handles affairs.
But he was also the minister who was most marginalized and least favored by King Zhao.
He looked at the warrior in front of him and said, "Please tell me, I can cure his illness." The warrior just walked into the palace again. After a long time, the warrior came out and said, "Please come in."
." Yu Qing dragged his body and walked towards the palace step by step. When he walked into the palace, King Zhao was sitting on the throne, frowning, staring ahead dejectedly, his eyes full of worry.
.
This expression is somewhat similar to that of Zhao Kuo, who was concerned about his country and his people.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Qing bowed and bowed, and then King Zhao raised his head and looked at him.
"I heard that your Majesty was ill and came here to treat you."
"Oh? Do you know about the disease of widowers?"
"I know, Your Majesty's disease is Yangzhi Shui." Yu Qing said seriously. King Zhao seemed a little surprised. Yu Qing smiled and then said: "I'm here to congratulate Your Majesty.", King Zhao
Somewhat annoyed, he asked: "Why are you congratulating me?"
"At first, Yan took Le Yi as general to overthrow Qi, and the people of Qi were afraid of him, so they spread rumors and resorted to robberies instead. Now, Lord Ma Fu defeated Qin, and the people of Qin were afraid of him, so they spread rumors in Zhao to alienate you.
With Ma Fujun. It can be seen that the people of Qin are afraid of Ma Fujun just like the people of Qi were afraid of Leyi. Your Majesty, you have such a talented person to assist you. Isn’t it a matter worth celebrating? "
After hearing this, King Zhao thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "You are right...it's just..."
"Ma Fujun is the most benevolent and upright person in the Zhao Kingdom. If the Lord can't trust him, who else can he trust?"
"Yu Qing, Uncle Huan back then was also a benevolent and upright man."
Yu Qing sighed, and then said: "But Ma Fujun is not a clan member, and no one will want to support him. The soldiers and people follow him precisely because of his benevolence, righteousness, and uprightness. If he does something unjust, the people will
They will also abandon him. If you still can't trust him, you can ask him for the Tiger Talisman when he returns home. If he hands it over without any hesitation, it means that he is worthy of your trust."
King Zhao looked at Yu Qing hesitantly and said: "He defeated the enemy for me, but when I greeted him, I asked for the tiger charm. It is not appropriate."
Yu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Then let me tell you."
King Zhao then laughed and happily invited Yu Qing to stay. He wanted to entertain Yu Qing, but Yu Qing immediately refused. He still had a lot of things to do, so how could he have time to attend the banquet? King Zhao Yiyi
She reluctantly sent him out of the palace, and all the worries in her heart seemed to be gone. It seemed like this.
At the same time, within the Wei Kingdom, Yang Zhishui also sounded again.
Yangzhi Shui belongs to the Tang Dynasty. There is nothing wrong with the Sanjin area praising Tang Dynasty. After all, Jin is the Tang Dynasty. But the sudden spread of Yangzhi Shui at this moment is enough to make the King of Wei tremble, especially when Duan Qianzi is here.
When he reported the news, King Wei's eyes almost burst out with fire. In the palace, Duan Qianzi was still talking about the situation in the city. He said: "The people in various places do not go to work and look towards Hanoi.
Sing the water high.”
"There are soldiers stationed in Daliang who are purchasing large amounts of plain cloth..."
While he was talking, a person suddenly appeared. The person who came was none other than Lord Long Yang. Lord Long Yang was wearing loose clothes. When he walked quickly, his sleeves were waving like a phoenix, with a heroic appearance. King Wei said
Looking at him in a daze, Duan Qianzi stood up and was about to salute. Suddenly, Long Yangjun took out a dagger from his sleeve and rushed towards Duan Qianzi. Duan Qianzi was
He was so frightened that he didn't move, looking at Long Yangjun's dagger in horror.
"Bang~~", but King Wei drew his sword in time and stood in front of Duan Qianzi.
The King of Wei looked at Long Yangjun in front of him angrily. Their swords collided with each other. Long Yangjun stared at the King of Wei. Suddenly, he dropped the dagger in his hand in pain, a few tears streaked across his face, and he said
"Your Majesty, this is Fan Ju's plan to divorce. Duan Ganzi is a despicable villain. He has been bribed by the Qin people... Please don't trust him. Jin Bi died in battle. If Wuji is forced to die again, Wei
The country is about to perish..."
Seeing Long Yangjun's tears, King Wei suddenly panicked. He hurriedly put down the sword in his hand, walked to Longyang Jun's side, and quickly persuaded: "I don't want to kill Wuji. How many of you are there?"
Forget it, as for Duan Qianzi, his ancestors made great contributions to the Wei State. Even if he made some mistakes, he should not be killed... Please don't be sad anymore. I will not embarrass Wuji.
...When he comes back, I will personally host a banquet for him..."
Duan Qianzi was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. Looking at the monarch and his ministers hugging each other, Duan Qianzi crawled out of the palace.
He took a deep breath and then raised his head.
Long Yangjun's most powerful weapon is not his sword, but his tears.
Flowing water, chiselled with white stone, wearing plain clothes and red ruffles, follow the son in the forest. Why not be happy when you see a gentleman?
The water is rising, the white stone is bright, the plain clothes are red and embroidered, and I follow the son to the swan. Now that I have seen a gentleman, why should I worry?
The rising water and the sparkling white rocks made me aware of my destiny, but I dared not tell anyone about it.
Yangzhishui continued to resound throughout the lands of Zhao and Wei. No one except Fan Ju thought that a simple poem could cause a huge change.
Now that I see a gentleman, why should I be suspicious?
