Chapter 573: Guanyin Sect joins the sect and enters Liang, and Xu Fengnian visits Liuzhou (3)
Xu Fengnian, who entered Liuzhou with Yudilong, walked around to another goose-shaped mountain wall and saw an unexpected pair of acquaintances: Song Dongming of Luming and his book boy. Looking at each other, Song Dongming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily: “From Wudang, where mountains and rivers are beautiful, you can meet this young master, but in this poor mountain and bad water, you really don’t meet in life! If you are relieved, I still have a small half-bag of wine here, which is the green ant from Beiliang. The wine is very strong, and it burns my throat at the beginning, but after a moment, I can drink a coolness. Song is the only way to drink it. If I had known it, I would have bought a few more pots of pots. I would regret it. Even if I had used credit, I would have to bring two more pots of green ants to my side.”
Xu Fengnian did not make too many courtesy. She took the wine bag, held it in the air, poured a small sip, and handed it back to Song Dongming. The latter asked with a smile: “Young Master, it’s okay if you don’t drink a few more sips.”
Xu Fengnian shook his head and smiled, “Xu Qi won’t take away the beauty.”
Seeing Xu Fengnian telling her home, Song Dongming probably felt that the young master with a Beiliang accent must not know who Lu Ming Song was. He said, “In the lower Song Dynasty, his ancestors lived in Luming County, Jiangnan, and met Mr. Xu twice. The fate was really great-“
Halfway through his words, the dry needle thatch wrapped in wind and sand hit his cheeks. Song Dongming reached out and grabbed the ripe yellow thatch thatched with yellow thatched with flying catkins from the earth, and sighed, “One year, two withered and flourishing, drifting with the wind.”
Shutong suddenly stretched out his finger and shouted, “Sir, look, is that wolf smoke?”
Following Shutong’s finger, Song Dongming saw a wisp of thick wolf smoke rising from the desert, which should be in the direction of Qingcang City, reporting safety to Liangzhou. Before, they had never seen this scene when they walked into Liuzhou. No wonder their book boy was so surprised. Song Dongming murmured to himself: “The ancient book says that the wolf smoke on this side is different from the Central Plains. It is named after burning wolf dung. The fireworks are straight and extremely black, and the wind cannot slant. But from this perspective, this wolf smoke is not different from the smoke in the Central Plains except for being thicker.”
Xu Feng laughed young and said, “That is probably a misunderstanding of some frontier poets. In the northwest border, wolves are likely to burn smoke, but they are all helpless actions when there is not enough cattle and sheep manure. Most of them are local materials, using poplar and red willow trees as firewood, and supplemented with flammable grasses such as dry reeds that can be obtained everywhere. Moreover, the so-called supply of wolf smoke fired materials in various parts of the Beiliang border army has been strictly allocated. If a beacon tower is found to be insufficient in reserves of a certain beacon tower, it will be useless to even behead the fourth rank officials all on the spot. In the past twenty years, Beiliang has almost died of more than 300 people because of this “small matter”, and it is relatively few in the first four or five years. This year, the most of them have killed more than 60 border soldiers who have neglected their duties in one go.”
Song Dongming was shocked and took a sip of green ant wine. Then he said, “The two generations of vassal kings took over the orders. The Northern Liang border army is different from other vassal kings’ army, and many unruly and difficult-to-dominate the achievements.The veteran holds military power and should have sought stability and prevent chaos. Why are he still so violent and sees the big ones with the small? In addition, the previous rumors, he secretly killed General Zhong Hongwu of Huaihua with one disagreement. Are you not afraid of mutiny? Mr. Xu? Listen to your previous explanation of the reason for the wolf smoke, he is obviously familiar with military affairs. Can you solve some doubts for Song Dongming? “
Xu Fengnian smiled and asked back, “Any word is not consistent.”
How smart Song Dongming is? Although he was tempted at the beginning, he also knew that he could talk nonsense about outsiders and could not take out the expert words. So he said calmly: “There are mountains in the Northern Liang army, and the new king is on the throne. He can only kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Otherwise, the war has not yet begun, and it will be difficult to convince the public with military merits. “
Xu Fengnian listened to this general conversation with calluses, and without the desire to talk, he planned to return to the Fu family horse team – he had to protect them and arrive at Qingcang City safely. At that time, there would naturally be elite cavalry teams secretly escort the newly discovered mine in Fengxiang. If the Fu family, who worked hard and made great contributions to Beiliang, knew what they would think of when the King of Beiliang personally protected him. Do you think that so many years of hard work are worth the money of course Xu Fengnian would not let them know the truth. This may be what Xu Weixiong, who is interested in detail, doesn’t like. As the master, he refuses to buy people’s hearts in detail.
When Song Dongming saw Xu Fengnian saying goodbye and left, he hurriedly lost his sheep to repair the siege and said, “Your Master Xu, I heard that you have two young aides in the Beiliang Palace: Xu Beizhi, the grandson of the King of Beimang, became the governor of Lingzhou. This is the hiring of the King of Beiliang; and the appointment of Chen Liangxi, a poor scholar, can be regarded as a person of no matter the grade, and it is very good to attract the remains of the Han people’s door to Beiliang. To put it boldly, if you Beiliangdao is a country, then these two people are sure to be the future prime ministers. However, since ancient times, important officials in the temple have all gone from public to private, that is, they first enter the center of the court with their talents and achievements. Only after entering the emperor’s eyes can they walk to the emperor. In this way, you don’t seem to be very rules in Qingliang Mountain. ”
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, “It’s not very rules. But then again, in Mr. Song’s opinion, the pros and cons of this kind of promotion is good.
Song Dongming smiled slightly, and probably because he was good at what he was good at, and he suddenly seemed extremely vulgar and said: “In the short term, buying bones for a thousand gold is naturally a good thing, especially to appease the scholars who went to Liang. Since Chen Liangxi, who was frustrated in two major events, was not punished by the King of Beiliang, then we scholars are well-read in poetry and books, and are well-educated, and they are from a background that is better than Chen Liangxi. How can we be a high-ranking official?”
Xu Fengnian interrupted Song Dongming’s words impolitely and asked: “How does Mr. Song view Chen Liangxi’s guard Qingcang, thinking that the King of Beiliang should be punished or not?”
The book boy had long disliked this guy named Xu. His master had such a sensibility. Even a famous Chinese scholar in Jiangnan Road, he listened to his master’s lectures and explanations. Xu Qi was worthy of being a barbarian in Beiliang. He just looked like a scholar, and his demeanor and knowledge were all messy. His master was not.Just the ignorant guy who was about to give a flirtatious look to the blind boy was about to teach him a lesson. Song Dongming glanced at him quietly, and he was so scared that he was the most ruler that he immediately silenced.
Song Dongming continued, “For Chen Liangxi, rewards and punishments should be used together. This man defended the city and seemed confused, so the people of Northern Liang thought that this son was a person with great ambition and talent, but he did not know that Northern Liang did not lack soldiers, good swords and horses, or even silver, but he lacked two words: people’s heart.” Song Dongming looked into the distance, “The people’s heart is the foundation of harmony between the time, the place, and the harmony between the people. The danger of the country has never lies in the danger of the mountains and rivers of the place, but in the gathering and dispersion of the people. The advantage of the place is a dead thing, and the dispute between heaven and man naturally falls on the direction of the heaven and the time, and the harmony between the people. Confucianism , Tao and Mo each have their own opinions, and countless sages did not compete for it. Song Dongming dared not speak out, but as a king, he could be upright in his heart, willing to accumulate merits, and turn disasters into blessings. This is to prove the way of heaven with humanity. Even if the heaven cannot be reversed, he will never go any further. When Beiliang was in the hands of Laoliang King Xu Xiao, 300,000 cavalry was the best in the world. If Xinliang King Xu Fengnian could gather the hearts of the people, then everyone in the Northern Liang family could fight the soldiers who were willing to fight. Even if Beimang was known as a million string control men, how could he bully Beiliang?
Song Dongming said softly: “So, Chen Liangxi gave a good start to Beiliang. Those refugees who entered the city, calculated by 3,000 people, after they survived, the so-called reputation is a reputation. Liuzhou will have 30,000 or even more refugees who know the benevolence and righteousness of the young vassal kings. They are not just full of benevolence and morality, nor are they just pretending to be porridge and food at the gate of the city, but they can really help them guard the four states of Beiliang You, Liang, Ling and Liu!” The middle-aged scholar who talked to himself looked solemn, “If Chen Liangxi had chosen to retreat at that time, it would be good, he could indeed leave the white horse Yicong in the city for the King of Beiliang, but Li Yishan’s plans back then would have been a waste of water. With both kindness and power, Li Yishan drove the refugees and was not allowed to return home, and he dispatched the soldiers of Beiliang to kill people all year round. Training troops is to show “power” in front; Chen Liangxi does not guard Qingcang, and tens of thousands of refugees inside and outside the city were all staring at it at that time. Xu Fengnian wanted these refugees to fight for the death of Beiliang! Beiliang thought that Xu Beizhi, who was meticulous, had many kindness than Chen Liangxi, who was kind to women. Hum, this is the true short-sightedness! The inner sage and the outer kings can only govern with virtue, but only by living in the sky with stars, can the real enlightenment be more helpful. Beiliang has the heart of the army but not the heart of the people, so even if the 300,000 soldiers died, they could not defend the northwest gate of Liyang! Then Xu Fengnian, who was still the crown prince at that time, said in the imperial road of the capital that to guard the national gates for the people of the Central Plains and not be disturbed by the horse hoof of the Beimang, was simply a nonsense that made people laugh! “
The book boy next to him widened his eyes, and the gentle and gentle master would be so unrestrained.
Xu Fengnian nodded silently.
Yu Dilong squatted beside his master, and he certainly couldn’t understand it, but he still felt that this slightly older scholar in Jiangnan spoke very vigorously, and seemed to be more imposing than a master in the martial arts world.
Momentum.
Yu Dilong was a little puzzled when he stared at Song Dongming. They read a few books and could still read the momentum. There are such good things in the world. Why don’t you turn back and tell your master, and we can also read and read.
