Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 170 Shi Congyun's Reward
At night, occasionally unknown strange birds could be heard crowing outside the big tent, and Zhou Xian couldn't fall asleep.

She slept alone tonight, that guy drank with his generals, and consciously went to sleep next to her.

He said carelessly that he would go crazy when he was drunk. He said that once he was drunk, he smashed the baby of his favorite girl. Since then, he has been very self-conscious, and he dare not go to a woman as long as he drinks.

Hearing this, Zhou Xian felt an inexplicable feeling in his chest, stuffy.She knew who the girl was. She had heard it when she was staying at the station on the road. It must be an ordinary person who can make a villain like Shi Congyun change. There are people singing in Chenzhou, Zhengzhou and other places.

"Xianyun is clever, flying stars spread hatred, and Yin Han is dark.

As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.

The tenderness is like water, and the good times are like dreams.

If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening. "

She could even imagine such a situation, two people who love each other, love each other, but have to separate because of family and country affairs, and military expedition. If the love lasts for a long time, how can it be in the day and night" lingering emotion.

Zhou Xian has mixed tastes. In her previous life, there was the wind, the moon, her own small world, plain and unremarkable, and her own elegance. She firmly abided by the things she learned from elementary school, and never crossed the threshold.

In her original perception, her husband Li Congjia was an excellent person, gentle, respectful and frugal, the two respected each other like a guest, he was like a gentleman, elegant and coquettish, he did everything well, just like the literati and poets she admired since childhood.

In the books she read since she was a child, those stories are all so admired, the literati have a strong character, and the Wei and Jin Dynasties are romantic.Originally, I also thought that this life would pass like this, until the army of the Northern Dynasty came to the Yangtze River.

Her husband, Li Congjia, trembled in fear in front of those soldiers, and did not dare to resist and disobey at all.

The father he admired since he was a child was submissive in front of Zhou Jun's envoys, and he did not dare to neglect him at all.

Her father, who made her feel aloof since she was a child, the extremely majestic lord Li Jing did not dare to resist at all, and fawned on Shi Congyun.
She explained to them in her heart, it's not their fault, it's the same in the whole Southern Tang Dynasty. Woolen cloth.

Husband is a man of culture, he doesn't know how to wield a spear and stick, he has his own talents, and he is not comparable to a martial artist like Shi Congyun.

She was so relieved in her heart, but it couldn't change the fact that Tang was forced to cede land to seek peace, and waggled her tail to pray for survival. The court officials, ministers, and even her father said to themselves, "This is for the sake of the overall situation."

"It is for the benefit of the people in the south of the Yangtze River."

"It's not that our army is not good at fighting, but because Shi Congyun is too powerful."

"It's not our fault, but heaven treats us poorly" and other words, forcibly find out various reasons and excuses to excuse, but they can't change the naked facts.

Jiangbei was lost, Shi Congyun flaunted his power in Jinling, paid a lot of indemnities, the king lost his honor and went north to worship, and she was also bullied and taken away by Shi Congyun.

On the way, she also figured it out. She had to face the reality. Excusing her husband, father, and monarch was just to make herself feel better and not feel that they were so bad.

There is no need to directly face the fact that it is hard for me to accept for a while, her husband, father, and monarch are actually not capable at all.
Especially compared with Shi Congyun, the villain who kidnapped her.

The many things she saw and heard all the way to the north subverted her cognition, and she gradually discovered that Shi Congyun had been lying to her, and that this person was completely different from what she had originally thought.

He did not know how many people he killed in Huaibei, everyone said he was vicious and cruel, and there were rumors in Jiangnan that he liked to serve wine with children's hearts.

But in fact, he was a man with a heart for the people and a conscience. He reflected on himself outside the city of Jinling and said, "Success or failure is nothing but jokes." He ordered the army not to disturb the people and not to kill prisoners.

In Huainan, he personally went to each village to talk to the people, asking them to submit to the Zhou Dynasty, exempting them from taxes, and pardoning their sins.

Even to himself, he always lied to others. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so he always found a lot of reasons for her, and he didn't hesitate to call himself a heinous villain.

This is different from the rumors.

He is obviously good at fighting, making the whole country fearful, but he also has a side of talent that is rarely known, and his words shocked and fascinated her.

Unlike Tang Guo's mildly sad and petty poems, his words are not so particular about neatness and confrontation, but full of grandeur and pride. Everything is just a matter of jokes", even if you talk about love, it is not so lingering, but "if the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night".

There is no euphemism, no lingering sentimentality, just so straightforward, rampant, full of momentum.

This is in line with his style, Zhou Xian blushes a little, he is not even willing to cover up for his oblique actions, and he does not cherish his reputation, he is a strange person, a strange person, and a person who cannot see through.

But one thing is certain, he is actually very capable and charming.

Listening to the birdsong, Zhou Xian thought to herself that she had given up struggling, maybe it was because of her father's instructions, maybe it was because of Shi Congyun's threat, and she also looked away a lot if she didn't want to seek death anymore.

When she heard that Shi Congyun had a wife and a concubine, she felt uncomfortable and worried. She was robbed and his spoils of war. How should she deal with herself?His wife and concubine would treat her like this, and everything made her feel upset and uneasy.

The next morning, when she woke up from the post station, Shi Congyun found a middle-aged old woman in Chenzhou to take care of her and help her wash and dress. Before she finished, she heard the noise outside.

She opened the window curiously and saw that there were soldiers in bright armor standing on both sides of the road in the distance, and a large number of people came from all directions inside and outside the city.

Hundreds of soldiers in the army sprinkled water with wooden basins to prevent dust from flying on the ground, and then hundreds of people dragged green pine from the roadside and distant mountains, and began to use green pine to pave the road outside the post station. A red carpet is spread on the leaves, and flags of various colors are inserted on both sides of the carpet.

"What are they doing?" She was a little curious and wanted to ask Shi Congyun who lived on the first floor, but she felt shy with so many people outside and didn't want to show her face, so she didn't go.

"Shall I call Master Jun?" asked the old mother who was serving her.

Zhou Xian shook her head, she felt that no matter what it was, Shi Congyun might be very busy at this time, it would not be good to disturb him, so she just watched from the gap in the window.

At noon, there was the sound of gongs and drums in the distance, and many flags stood everywhere. She tried her best to look, and saw a large sedan chair in the middle, followed by a large number of people dressed in red and purple, holding ruyi, and wearing Guanguan, with long The team was very luxurious, and when they came out from Daliang City, they couldn't see the tail at a glance.

She immediately understood what was going on. It was the emperor and officials of Zhou who came out to greet Shi Congyun triumphantly!

I was very shocked and emotional, that guy was really powerful, he was one or two years younger than himself, but when he returned triumphantly, even the emperor of Zhou Kingdom had to lead a hundred officials to greet him in person.

But after thinking about it carefully, I don’t think it’s strange. After all, he lost half of his country’s Tang Kingdom with this fight. He is only young, but his achievements and abilities are not small at all, or he is not small at all.
The old woman from Zhengzhou, who was hired by Shi Congyun to take care of her, also sighed frequently: "Little lady is really lucky, your husband is a very big man, the streets and alleys in my place are talking about him, and the storyteller in the restaurant next door Tell me that if it weren't for General Shi's greatness, my son would not be able to come back next year or the next year.

Now in the capital, you see the emperor came out to pick him up in person, isn't he a great nobleman? "

As she spoke, she took another look at Zhou Xian: "If I were as handsome as you, I might have a good life."

Zhou Xian blushed and didn't argue with her, but thought in his heart, if I wasn't so handsome, I wouldn't be robbed by that lecherous villain.

But she didn't say that subconsciously. Looking from a distance, he saw the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty wearing a yellow robe, personally handing Shi Congyun wine, Shi Congyun took it and kowtowed again.

Many generals following behind him also came forward to kneel down to worship the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Both sides were talking, a scene of a monarch and his ministers competing for each other. There were soldiers guarding outside, and there were many onlookers outside.

After talking a lot, an official in a purple robe stepped forward and began to open the imperial edict and read it out. It should be a reward for returning from this war.

He will probably be in a high position and powerful, Zhou Xian thought in his heart, after all, he has made such a great contribution.

Afterwards, everyone stopped and talked in the pavilion next to the post station. Only the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and a few purple-robed ministers went into the pavilion, and more people stopped outside to guard.

It took more than half an hour to come out, and then the emperor took a car to inspect the army, and then entered the city surrounded by everyone.

It was late in the afternoon after all this was done, and the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty left. Many ministers and generals surrounded Shi Congyun to congratulate and speak. The flattery on many people's faces could be clearly seen even from a long distance away. .

Everyone is the same everywhere, Zhou Xian thought to herself, and looking at Shi Congyun's smug smile, she thought to herself, can't that person be more restrained and humble like a modest gentleman.

Until the afternoon, someone downstairs said that General Shi sent someone to pick her up. Zhou Xian packed up her things and asked the old lady to carry them downstairs. There were already two carriages waiting downstairs, and there was a middle-aged maid beside her. There are drivers, and there are cavalry guards at the front and back.

After asking the other party's identity, she got into the car, and the car drove slowly towards Daliang City. The people on both sides of the car hadn't dispersed yet, so she didn't dare to lift the curtain of the car to look, because there would always be eyes on her .

The maid who came to pick her up was very respectful to her and told her that she was going directly to Vice Marshal Shi's mansion. Zhou Xian nodded, feeling uneasy. Whether she wanted to or not, she would have to face the women in Shi Congyun's family.

In fact, Shi Congyun was not nervous about meeting the emperor face to face, he knew the truth in his heart, but what was nervous was how to tell Zhao Shijian and Fu Liu about Zhou Xian.

He actually understood in his heart that the government gave him face in this way and personally led a group of officials to welcome him to show their favor, but it should be more of a "guilty heart" and a little bit of formality given by not wanting him to be the head of the front office compensation.

After all, after the Huainan War, even a bastard like Wang Zhong in the army felt that he should be inspected, so one can imagine the thoughts of the rest of the soldiers.

But the officials would not let him be, Shi Congyun knew that Zhao Kuangyin was like this in history, if he said his credit and prestige had already surpassed Zhang Yongde, but Zhang Yongde had always been Zhao Kuangyin's boss.

The officials gave him so much face in this regard, it must be to let him make concessions in other places.

Politics is like this, mutual compromise and coercion, Shi Congyun is very clear in his heart, so of course he will not be tough with the officials.

Sure enough, the officials greeted him in person again, gave him wine to suppress the shock, and even took off the purple cloak on his body and put it on him, making a full gesture.

In the following rewards, Lu Duoxun, a Hanlin scholar, came out to announce his will.

Many generals had rewards, among which Shi Congyun received the biggest reward.

Promoted Shi Congyun to be the deputy capital inspector in front of the palace, the inspector Taiwei, and the servant, and gave him a jade belt, a brocade robe, and a saddle, as well as 500 taels of gold and 2000 taels of silver, and gave him 50 beauties who just came up from the national anthology. people.

And it also directly stated that it was because Prime Minister Fan Zhican violated the law and took other people's wives forcibly, so he was punished lightly, and he could not be allowed to be inspected by the capital, but downgraded to inspect by the deputy capital.

Fan Zhi, who was dressed in a purple robe, raised his chin by the side, stood upright, showing an upright attitude, as if to say that no matter how meritorious and powerful you Shi Congyun is, I am not afraid, and impeachment will be impeached.

He also said a few words in person.

Little did he know that he was being used as a spear by the government, and many people in the army were afraid that they would hate him to death.

Shi Congyun naturally thanked the officials for their generosity and kindness.

He didn't argue with Fan Zhi, not to mention the quarrel, and even his face didn't change.

Because he knew in his heart that on the surface it was Fan Zhi's impeachment that caused this, but it was the officials who really prevented him from being inspected by the capital. Fan Zhi just talked and couldn't decide anything.

He didn't even think about being inspected by the police. If he was really elected, maybe the officials would be on guard against him all the time, not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about him, and then he really couldn't sleep well.

After a busy day, the official's family returned to the palace, and all the officials fawned on him for a long time. Many people invited him to the banquet openly and secretly, and some asked about his sister's marriage. Shi Congyun dealt with it casually.

When the crowd dispersed one after another, he immediately rushed back to Daliang first, and went to the old house to meet the aunt, aunt and younger sister.

Unknowingly, the younger sister also appeared to be generous, and when she reached the age of marriage, she was not as close to him as before, but rather shy, after all, she was a big girl.

After seeing them, while arranging for someone to pick up Zhou Xian at the station outside the city, he racked his brains to think about how to tell the two young wives at home about Zhou Xian.

When he returned home absent-mindedly, he was immediately spotted by the porter, who yelled and went to notify the people inside.

Shi Congyun wished he could give him a big mouth, I haven't figured out what to say, what are you shouting about!
So he went in cheekily and went straight to the backyard.

But when he was about to solve everything with a thick skin, he found that Zhao Shijian and Fu Jinling were waiting for him dressed up, which was different from what he thought.

The well-behaved loli Fu Jinling was more reserved, but her little finger pointed out that she was excited when they got together, and she burst into tears when Shi Congyun hugged her.

Tsundere Zhao Shijian calmed down a little, and snorted, glanced behind him, and said jealously: "Didn't you find a beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rumors in the capital are raging, so don't let us see it, woo. "

After being kissed by Shi Congyun, he immediately sobbed obediently and softly in his arms. I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I can no longer restrain my lovesickness.

Shi Congyun was also very excited, he had no such experience before, but fortunately the imaginary Shura field did not explode, and Xiaobiesheng was newly married.
