Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 164 No way, he brought an army to negotiate
In autumn, the Yangtze River is quiet, the sky reflects fluctuations, the shadow of the moon follows the river, or the stars hang flat and wide, and the moon surges across the river. A drop in the ocean.

Zhou Jun's Qiyun ship has five decks and is more than ten feet long. It can be called a mobile fortress on the river, or a mobile mansion. At least at this moment, Shi Congyun is willing to call it a mansion.

The beauty's pure white jade legs are the most slender that Shi Congyun has ever seen, and the beauties of the Southern Tang Dynasty are too outrageous.

Li Chuyun had already compared Zhao Shijian and Fu Liu by just grabbing a noble concubine. He couldn't even imagine what the Empress of the Zhou Dynasty, who was recorded as "national beauty" in the history books, would look like.

Zhou Xian's complexion was flushed, filled with grief, anger and embarrassment, she tried her best to avoid the gaze from the other side of the bed, and listened to the sound of the waves on the river, her feet were weak, and even the mess was taken care of by Shi Congyun.

She knew that she was forced to do this for the sake of the righteousness of her family and the country, and she had no choice but to forget one important thing, so that now she regrets, ashamed and angry that she forgot to struggle and resist.

She originally thought that even if she had to, she would resist!
But that villain was like a mountain, so fierce that she was dazed from the very beginning, not knowing where she was and where she was standing, and her mind was blank.

She didn't realize it until she returned to the world from the fairyland in the clouds and mist, but it was too late, she was ashamed, she hated herself, and she was so wronged that she shed tears.

I also hate that villain, he is unreasonable, let her lose her virginity and even has no strength to fight back.

She was ashamed and wanted to find another chance to die, but he always reminded her softly in her ear, "You are sacrificing your life to feed a tiger", "You are sacrificing your life for benevolence with a deep understanding of righteousness", "You are saving the people of Jinling from fire and water."

There are various reasons for her to be ruthless. In fact, no one is afraid of death. As long as the determination is uncertain at that moment, it will be difficult to push yourself again.

In the end, she had no choice but to bite his shoulder fiercely with her teeth like revenge.

Until it tastes fishy and sweet, it's time to drink his blood and eat his flesh to relieve his hatred.

She closed her eyes in fear, but the villain Shi Congyun didn't beat her violently or curse at her.

He just bared his teeth and gave an ugly smile: "In troubled times, you, a weak woman, can control anything. It's not your fault; it's your fault that you met an unreasonable villain. Follow me back to Daliang."

Those words were still in her ears, but her heart was overwhelmed.There are 1 things she doesn't want, but what can she do?She always has to face the cruel reality, yes, she is a weak woman in troubled times, can she go back to the sixth prince?Everything was caused by Shi Congyun, and she couldn't help crying just thinking about it.

Tired from crying and exhausted, I fell asleep without knowing when.

The next day, Shi Congyun stood on the bow deck in high spirits, and took out an imperial edict from his arms, which Guo Rong asked Cao Bin to bring along with the navy.

The meaning is very simple. Shi Congyun can accept the surrender of the Southern Tang Kingdom on behalf of the officials, but the condition is at least to cede the fourteen prefectures in the north of the Yangtze River.

However, the edict also stated that this is the minimum condition. If this condition is met, the surrender of the Southern Tang Dynasty can be accepted. If it is higher, he can also fight for it by himself.

This is one of the biggest purposes of this trip.

Upstream, Jiangxinzhou in the north of Jinling City was taken by Si Chao and Guo Tingzhi last night.

The downstream Qilizhou was occupied by Shao Ji and Cao Bin.

Now the Yangtze River waterway near Jinling is completely under the control of the Zhou army's navy. After the Southern Tang Kingdom lost five or six hundred warships in Tushan and Chuzhou, the current navy is not enough to protect itself. Confrontation.

The [-] landing troops led by Li Chuyun also established a firm foothold at the edge of the case and built camps. Nantang sent troops to the riverside twice in a row yesterday afternoon and evening, but they were all about ten miles away. confrontation.

Shi Congyun firmly held the "right to control the river" in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it was precisely because of this that he dared to lead [-] ships to show off his power under the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

I'm afraid the result will come out soon, and the war that lasted for more than a year will definitely come to an end within this year.

After a while, he heard a slight noise coming from his cabin, turned back and walked into the cabin, only to find that the beauty was still lying on the bed, but seeing her eyelashes flicker, he knew she was awake, just pretending to be asleep.

In the early morning, he was afraid that he would starve her, so he sent a lot of melons, fruits, cakes, meat and vegetables, and put them on the bedside table. She must have been hungry and dared not open her eyes.

Shi Congyun was full of vicious humor and had no intention of deceiving others. He picked up the dishes on the table with his chopsticks and ate them. I'll finish eating right away." He slammed his mouth loudly as he spoke.

It wasn't until the beauty who pretended to be sleeping was wronged that tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and then he laughed loudly, picked her up and put her on his lap, he was just so cheap.

"Don't sleep, get up and eat. You were too tired last night. Replenish your energy. Later, I will bring you some clean clothes for you to change and show you where to wash and go to the toilet." In the sea, the conditions are much better.

The beauty's eyes were red, and she glared at him, with grievances and anger in her beautiful eyes.

Shi Congyun turned a blind eye and handed her the chopsticks, "Eat quickly."

Even a beautiful woman has to eat and drink. She has exhausted a lot of energy and is really hungry. Even though she is very reserved and eats in small bites, she still eats faster.

Shi Congyun asked her to sit on a chair by herself, and when she saw her sad expression, he conveyed something positive to her.People must have a certain meaning in order to make progress every day and live a good life, otherwise material things and desires will only lead to greater emptiness.

"Don't worry, as long as you serve me obediently on the boat, I guarantee that the 20 troops under my command will never go to Jinling, and wait for your lord to send someone to negotiate peace with me. These are all due to you, and it depends on you Show it." Shi Congyun encouraged her.

In fact, it was pure nonsense, whether to fight Jinling or not, he could decide by himself, unless he was the emperor.

But fortunately, this girl doesn't understand either, she is probably a young lady who grew up in a boudoir's embroidery room, thinking about problems is too simple and innocent, that's why she fell into his trap.

"Isn't it one hundred thousand?" she asked.

"Ahem, there are still [-] in Jiangbei, and they can be transferred at any time." He made up nonsense.

Sure enough, the beautiful woman had a resolute look on her face again, and her eyes gradually became determined, "I will do what you say, and General Shi must keep his promise!"

"Okay, don't worry, a certain word is well-known in the army." At the same time, he asked her curiously: "What is your name? I didn't tell you when I asked you yesterday. I can't keep calling you a beauty."

She hesitated for a while, then whispered: "My name is Zhou Mingxian."

Shi Congyun almost spit out the tea he just drank, "Zhou Xian! What's your father's name? He can't be called Zhou Zong!"

The beauty nodded slightly.

Shi Congyun felt a little surprised and confused, and said: "No, you are Zhou Xian, so isn't your useless husband called Li Yu? Why did Li Chuyun call me Li Congjia? He must have misheard."

Speaking of her husband, Zhou Xian's face immediately flushed red, and she shed tears sadly, Shi Congyun quickly said: "It's all right, I'll be your husband from now on, anyway, he's useless."

"You are not allowed to say that! I am not that kind of woman!" Zhou Xian blushed anxiously, Shi Congyun said repeatedly, don't argue with her, women are, and they were fine last night.

He finally came to his senses.

He said why this person is so beautiful, is this the legendary "national beauty"!It turned out that he had already slept with the Empress of the Great Zhou that he had been thinking about so much!

After reacting, I was a little unbelievable, a little proud, and a little bit disappointed, in short, there were mixed feelings.

Then Li Congjia might be Li Yu?The name should have been changed after succeeding to the throne. The name of the emperor should be taboo. Changing the name can avoid a lot of trouble.

Immediately, he looked at the ashamed and indignant Zhou Xian, who was charming and charming, and made up his mind to take her back to the north.

He remembered that in history, the ending of the big week was not good. He died at the age of 28. He fell ill that year, and it happened that his sister, who was 14 years younger than her, was quietly taken to the palace by Li Yu to have an affair. died.

If history hadn't changed, the legendary Xiao Zhou Hou should only be six years old this year.

It's really a confidante.

What does Li Yu say? Most of the people who like him probably only understand his poems. If you understand his various deeds and still like him, then it is really a unique taste.

Shi Congyun thought for a while, turned his eyes to Zhou Xian and said, "I originally wanted to kill the sixth prince of the Tang Kingdom to sacrifice the flag to strengthen our army.

But now you can let your husband go. In exchange, you will stay and serve me in the future, and follow me back to Daliang. You think, everything you do is to save his life, and this has no effect on your personal morality. "

Zhou Xian stood there in a daze, his face was red and white, Shi Congyun didn't force her, he just said: "You think about it here alone, but don't do anything to despise yourself, if something happens to you, I will immediately take your cheap Lord, take it to sacrifice the flag." He threatened viciously, and then left the cabin.

Of course, his nonsense can only scare the silly and sweet Zhou Xian, and people with a little knowledge can find countless loopholes.

After getting out of the cabin, he quickly called the officer up: "Immediately send someone across the river, and ask Li Chuyun to release that Li Congjia.

Write another letter for me and ask him to take it back to the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, saying that Li Congjia is in the commander's camp, facing many soldiers with swords and axes, he is very demeanor, and he is a man. Appreciate him, so let him go. "

The officer in charge was a little puzzled, but he nodded and went to do it.

Ever since he realized that Li Congjia was Li Yu, Shi Congyun suddenly felt that he could not be detained, so he quickly put him back, what if he scared him out of trouble.

If his capable elder brother is allowed to succeed him and create a character like Sun Quan, then he might prevent the reunification of the country and make them all criminals in history.

In any case, if Li Yu can succeed to the throne, it will be great news for him and Da Zhou.

Not to mention Li Yu's submissive deeds before the country's subjugation, when the Northern Song army surrounded Jinling City for a few months, he was still reciting poems and composing romantic poems with Xiao Zhouhou, and talking to Taoist monks about the scriptures. Surrounded, the country is about to perish.

It is a blessing for them to have such a person in Nantang, but they must treat him as a treasure and send him back to Nantang as soon as possible.

But what to do with her daughter-in-law is a problem.

Shi Congyun thought about it, and felt that he was not afraid of Li Yu if he directly told him that your wife and I were not well raised. He didn't dare to do anything with Li Yu's temper.

But it's not good if you take people away without saying hello.

So after thinking about it, he decided to talk about this matter in a diplomatic way and add it to the terms privately.

Yu Gong left an excuse for the official Guo Rong, and Yu privately gave Zhou Xian some fame, so that she would have no moral burden and live a more open life, at worst, she would become a big villain.

Just like Diao Chan in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms committed herself to Dong Zhuo, Zhou Xian is Diao Chan for the country and the people, and he came to be Dong Zhuo.

As for future evaluations and people's discussions, to be honest, Shi Congyun is not afraid at all.

Because he sees it very thoroughly, do people really judge great people by their moral character?If you think so, then it is really a rotten Confucian opinion.

For example, Zhao Guangyi was fortunate enough to know what happened after Xiao Zhou. The paintings and stories were all compiled in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Song people only had an unreliable note with ambiguous records, which did not conform to Zhao Er's style.

Qin Shihuang's burning of books and Confucianism "started" from the Jin and Tang Dynasties, and it became more and more exaggerated.The history books recorded by the Han people are all about burning poems and books and trapping warlocks, and there were many doctors of Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty.

There are too many such examples in history, and most ordinary people believe it to be true.

in turn.

Li Shimin really killed his brothers and took over his sister-in-law; Zhao Kuangyin also really took over Mrs. Huarui in a yellow robe.

But people's evaluations of Tang Zong and Song Zu are almost all positive, not to mention the historians, even folklore and opera romances have made up many stories.

Either it proves that Li Shimin had no choice but to kill his elder brother, or that Zhao Kuangyin took over the country because the arrow is on the string
There are also stories that Li Shimin and his sister-in-law are in love; there are many stories that show how good Zhao Kuangyin's character is.

Could it be that Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin are really of good moral character?
Shi Congyun has always disdain this kind of view, if they have good moral character, they will not be able to be emperors!
That's why Liu Bang is the role model of the emperor through the ages. In fact, it can be seen from many historical records that Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin both worshiped Liu Bang. Li Shimin also compared his returning home banquet to Gaozu returning home.

To put it bluntly, whether it is folk or historians, what people praise is merit!Seeing is also merit.

It's just that China has been educated by Confucian rituals and music for thousands of years, and Confucianism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has been subtly influenced.

Confucianism pays attention to governing the country with virtue, but ordinary people cannot see the essence of problems when they look at them.Therefore, many ordinary people look at problems within the framework of Confucianism, and feel that any monarch and minister who has meritorious service must be because of his good moral character.

And morality is broad, ambiguous, and can be double-standardd at will.

Therefore, as long as it is beneficial to the people and a meritorious monarch, people will make up many things, operas, operas, and romances to beautify him and get rid of his moral dilemma.

On the contrary, it will be ugly.

Because in the simple values ​​of Confucianism, virtue is greater than heaven.

A person can do great things, it must be because of his good moral character.If someone is incompetent and does something that is hated by others, it must be a corruption of moral character.

If you can't find any proof, even if you make it up, make it up for him.

But in fact, what people praise and belittle is whether there is merit or not, but under the world view of Confucianism, they insist on covering it with a moral cloak.

Ordinary people's understanding of history is like this, so Shi Congyundao never worried about how others scolded him or how unpopular he was.

He felt that he had a clear view of the general trend of the world and the general direction of history.

As long as he does great things in the future, big things that are beneficial to the people, and great achievements, there will definitely be many people who will make up stories for him, write novels, brag, and say that he and Zhou Xian are in love with each other. Maybe Li Yu will be pulled out as a villain.

Conversely, if he has no achievements in the future, or even corrupts his achievements, and does things that are not good for the people of the world, even if he is really a moral sage and comes to Jiangnan for a clean trip, countless people will make good stories for him. He is morally corrupt.

In the final analysis, it is merit.

If Dong Zhuo ruled the world in the novel and governed the country, people would definitely say that he and Diao Chan were a natural match, and Diao Chan was willing to be with him, and could make up dozens of stories for him.

With Shi Congyun's current achievements, he can definitely leave a mark in the history books.

In the afternoon, after noon, envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty rowed boats to visit him in the middle of the river. Shi Congyun unexpectedly met the new father-in-law, Zhou Zong, and a famous man, Han Xizai.

He almost called his father-in-law directly. Considering that Zhou Zong was getting old, he felt that he had to proceed step by step, what if Zhou Zong had high blood pressure.

The two sides greeted each other and sat down on the deck, and the negotiations were about to start.

Zhou Zong and Han Xizai kept their postures very low, and their words were very polite.

There is no way, Shi Congyun brought a large army to negotiate.
