Chapter 389: The Country’s Destruction (7)

On the tenth day, the wind was a little bit strong, but it did not affect the scheduled military parade.

However, the effect is not very good, because there is no shortage of military parades in the country for decades in the Great Wei Dynasty, and there is no shortage of such big scenes. On the contrary, the common people in Hebei and Henan are almost reacting to such large-scale marches. So much so that when the troops walked through the official road, they all avoided, lacking a lot of atmosphere... This made the ten battalions of Jiangling and Liaocheng Xingtai who had been preparing for a long time a little depressed.

In fact, during the ten-day winter hustle and bustle, what caused the most sensation among the public and sparked discussions among the people was the "Law of the People".

People always pay attention to the things they care about.

"The formation of the Dragon Squad is well-organized and unconventional. Among the ten battalions participating in the military parade, the soldiers are all capable and powerful. The troops are almost full, and the armor rate is extremely high, which can be seen at a glance.

The battalions led by several well-known leaders, such as Xu Shiren and Wang Shuyong's longbow and hard crossbow, Niu Da's big ax and broad blade, Jiayue's straight sword, and Zhou Xingfan's armored cavalry, each has its own merits, especially Wang Xiongdan Zhang Xing is directly under the head of the camp, and there are hundreds of Qijing practitioners. It seems that they are preparing to reorganize the system recently. Maybe it is possible to form a large army...

Even the other ordinary battalion leaders should not be underestimated. They have been in trouble for three years and have experienced many battles. They are recognized as tenacious and brave.Especially at the beginning, the Dethrone Dragon Gang lacked high-ranking officers and soldiers, and the troops advocated pragmatism, so they were famous for their well-organized logistics, solid camps, and neat marches. Go to Huaixi Li Zida Department and Gao Shitong Department for a little glimpse. "

In the flower hall, with the cold wind howling outside the window, Li Ding recorded while listening, and then asked again: "Is that all?"

"One more thing." Su Jingfang thought for a while before continuing to answer. "Their winter coats are neat."

"What is this?" Li Ding was puzzled after hearing this. "One county raises 1 people, no matter how poor they are, they can gather some rough flax and get some robes. In addition, they have a large quilt field in Jiyin, so they can tidy up some winter burqas. Once the burqa is put on, it is not uncommon for the winter clothes to be neater." Bar?"

"It's about the material of the winter clothes." Su Jingfang explained immediately. "Coarse linen gowns and paper gowns plus burqas are naturally common, but before the big collar and above, there were white short cloaks, and the head collars all had black short cloaks. Now, during the military parade, I can see clearly, and I plan to follow the team. All had variegated cloaks, and nearly all had woolen waistbands and sheepskin or buckskin leggings..."

Li Ding was stunned: "You mean Beidi?"

"Including the straight knives of Jia Yue's department, they are generally brand-new, and they may not be produced in Qiluliang County. They should be products from the Northland, and there are a large number of warehouse products accumulated." Su Jingfang said seriously. "Before there were rumors in the north that the White Wolf Guard was funded by the Dragon Gang, so they had the guts to fight with Liu Chengwei on a large scale, but now it seems that whoever is funding who is not sure, it is a serious large-scale transaction... Lacquerware, porcelain, silk, tea, pens, inks, papers and inkstones and other miscellaneous goods, and probably the standard armor in stock in Dengzhou before, carried out a large-scale barter with the people of the White Wolf Guard, and took what I needed most. Leather goods, straight knives, and maybe candles and other things, and the White Wolf Guards can double the value of those things and resell them in the Northland. In this way, no matter which side they look at, they think they have received funding from the other side. "

Li Ding remained silent, and only after a while did he speak: "What else?"

"It's the supplementary "Six Secret Teachings"... This is for the ninth day. It has nothing to do with the military, so I didn't send it back specially. I just wanted to come back after watching the military parade..." Su Jing conveniently went to take out his clothes.

"I've seen it." Li Ding waved his hand.

Su Jingfang was stunned for a moment: "What about the previous "On Guowei"?"

"I've seen it too, and it's a little new." Li Ding answered seriously. "He didn't simply regard the Great Wei as the Great Wei, but pointed out that the Great Wei inherited the hegemony of the Sima family and then inherited the Great Zhou. This can be called a broad vision."

Su Jingfang nodded and said nothing more.

The cold wind was howling outside the window, and after a while, Li Ding suddenly said again: "But there are still old problems, such as "Minlu", "Guo Wei Lun", "Replenishing the Six Secret Teachings", and "New Military Law". People don't treat people as human beings. Only when he treats people as human beings can he be more in line with the way of heaven, so no one else is worthy of competing with him. Even if he loses, he will be worthless if he wins. Value, only if he wins is the real win."

Su Jingfang remained silent. Although he was young, he had a lively mind, and because he traveled a lot with his wit, he knew the problem early on. As his master, he was good in everything, but at the best age of his life, he was depressed and depressed. Ambition is normal, but it is too deceitful to have a great talent but be depressed. Therefore, my master is almost waiting for the troubled times with some kind of hatred-like ambition to complete his career.

But when the troubled times came, I found that my talents were a bit biased. Running an army was like drinking water to eat, while politics and diplomacy were a bit inferior. More importantly, I still lost a little bit of an opportunity. There should be no tension between British and British princes in Taiyuan.

However, both of them still have their own opinions. One side regards Guanlong as one, promises a future, and uses threats and lures many times to win them over;

Su Jingfang knew well that his master just didn't come over in one breath, he wasn't the kind of person who was suffocated to death, but it was not an easy thing to make a decision, and how to make a decision was even more difficult... It might take a while Hit the south wall and turn back.

"Do you want to make a copy for Taiyuan as required?" After a while, Su Jingfang asked cautiously.

"Copy, what's there to cover up? It's as if Jiang Ling didn't want to be seen by others!" Li Ding quickly came to a conclusion.

Su Jingfang naturally carried out the execution immediately.

In fact, it is not limited to Wu'an and Taiyuan. During the twelfth lunar month, the documents and announcements of the general mausoleum were copied almost everywhere by interested people.

Not to mention the entire territory of Hebei and the East, Jin, Beidi, Jianghuai, Dongdu, and even Guanlong, Dongyi, and Beidi are all watching.For a while, some people were talking nonsense, some were disapproving, some were worried, and some were overjoyed.

"What do you think?"

In Taiyuan City, the British Duke's Mansion next to the palace, under the three-glorious golden pillars of the ancestral hall, the British Duke Bai Hengqiu who had set up the chessboard unexpectedly did not make a move, and opened his mouth after two hours of careful and repeated reading. Zhang Shijing, who was sent across the chessboard to deliver the paperwork, became more and more uneasy, because in his opinion, these things were actually very rough and unremarkable... However, the other party finally opened his mouth.

"We need to pay attention." Zhang Shijing took it seriously and temporarily changed his opinion. "This kind of thing naturally needs to be taken seriously... This guy really takes himself seriously, and he actually promulgated the law without authorization, which can be called ambition."

Bai Hengqiu nodded but shook his head again.

"Is there something I didn't understand properly?" Zhang Shijing immediately asked seriously.

"From your identity, it's quite right to say that, but from my side, it can't be limited to this." Bai Hengqiu put down the paper, looking calm.

"Is it because of Sisi?" Zhang Shijing asked tentatively. "No matter what, you have a deep affection for Sisi."

"There is such a layer." Bai Hengqiu said seriously. "When Sisi left with him, I always thought that it doesn't matter what happens to them. Once I have a good layout and control the overall situation, it is enough for them to bow their heads and surrender. It is not impossible to win over some Hebei people. But looking back now, there are two misjudgments...one is that they got up too fast, and the other is that they didn't expect Cao Lin to last so long."

"That's true, it's not a problem to go on like this." Zhang Shijing immediately nodded with her beard, then paused, and continued to sigh. "Unexpectedly, we mediated Dulan Khan and Tuli Khan, and facilitated their coalition forces to go south, but we failed to lure Cao Lin there... If this continues, if the Wu people break through the Weishui River, it will be a real disaster." He lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot. As for Zhang Xing, it was indeed scary. Thinking about it carefully, this year, he has actually slowed down, but he still defeated Xue Changxiong, killed Cao Shancheng, and took three counties in the summer; In the battle of Xuzhou in Japan, he became the chief, pierced the skin of Jiangdu, and stirred up the situation in the world; Qiuri stopped Li Ding, supported Luo Shu, and maintained the balance of power in Hebei; Dongri made these things again... too much progress quick!"

"The key is that this step is too steady, and he must have his own ideas. This and what he said, it seems that he has made up his mind to use Hebei as the foundation to fight against Guanlong." Bai Hengqiu Think for a moment and give your opinion. "You can't expect to convince him easily..."

"That's right." Zhang Shijing came to his senses, and it was possible that he followed the other party's wishes and immediately used his ingenuity. "Destroying the dragon and dethroning the dragon is the most important thing for those who are good at the world, but how many live dragons are there for him to kill? Combined with what he said in the previous article, the former emperor rewarded Guan Long without limit and oppressed the world. The original meaning of the so-called deposing the dragon , isn’t it just saying that you want to defeat Guan Long and ascend to the throne on your own?”

Bai Hengqiu nodded slightly, but finally stood up under the three-glorious golden pillar, then turned to face the golden pillar, and sighed with his hands behind his back: "No matter what, I underestimated him! If this person is not eliminated, he will become a confidant's trouble! However, Cao Lin has been stubborn all the time! We need to plan carefully!"

Zhang Shijing also got up immediately: "Do you want me to take another trip to the south slope?"

"It's necessary to take a trip, but don't expect to be able to easily shake the attitude of a great master. Although some words are vulgar, they are unexpectedly appropriate... If a master is just thinking too much, a great master can basically only speak with stubbornness. It's gone." Bai Hengqiu turned around and said. "Cao Lin is like this, old master Zhang is like this, and others are like this... You can go to Nanpo first to see if old master Zhang has seen these things, and ask him about his attitude towards Zhang San. We will make plans immediately after returning."

Zhang Shijing nodded and was about to leave, but continued to ask as if thinking of something: "Where is Sisi? Do you want her to avoid it?"

"No need." Bai Hengqiu turned his head and said indifferently. "As I expected, Grandmaster Sisi is coming soon, only in the final stage of visualization. If I can deal with Zhang San at this time, she will suddenly be enlightened, and it will be logical!"

"Understood." Zhang Shijing cupped his hands respectfully, and retreated carefully.

As soon as the person left, Bai Hengqiu didn't move at all, just looking at the three-glorious golden pillar in front of him, he suddenly spoke for a while, but he didn't know who he was speaking to: "Destroy the dragon and depose the dragon, if you depose like this, to make the best of the world, Don't you want the world to be one? All things are born with freedom, from the top to the three brilliance, from the bottom to the Yuan Yuan, to draw the vitality of the world, to form a climate, what are you trying to depose me?!"

At the end of the words, there was wind and thunder, which caused the thunder to roll.

In the city of Dongdu, along with Donglei, the first snow has fallen, and in the simple lobby of Nanya, all the dignitaries of Dongdu gathered to see these things together.

"What's there to see here?" Duan Wei became impatient after watching it. "A rebel, the number one rebel in Tianzi, a rebel who rose from the old place of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, a rebel from dozens of counties, he didn't claim the title of king, and even if he knew that the whale bones were distributed, he had already stood guard in Nanya , I have a clue... This kind of person, do you still want to accuse him of treason? If you have this thought, think about what to do in Kansai, right? It's just the opening where Dulan is in front of, but Tu Liruo abandoned Li Hong and went straight south, he has no other skills, and the essence of the three assistants will be gone by then!"

"The matter in Kansai cannot be resolved overnight." Gu Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, answered with a stern face. "Let's discuss the matter today."

"Kanxi is our foundation!" Duan Wei snapped.

"What about Dongdu?" Gu Yi asked back. "Isn't the Eastern Capital fundamental? The arsenal, storage, officials, and common people of the Eastern Capital..."

Duan Wei sighed, and interrupted the other party to speak seriously: "The Eastern Capital is also fundamental, but we must go to support Kansai. Now the Eastern Capital is still there, and Kansai is in danger."

"I've said it all, Kansai cannot be resolved overnight." Gu Yi argued earnestly. "Let's discuss the matter today..."

"What's there to talk about?" Duan Wei sneered, and patted the paper in front of him.

"There are still some explanations." Prime Minister Su Wei finally spoke, but his expression was difficult. "There are a lot of rebels. It is not uncommon for people to be kings, and it is not uncommon for people not to be kings. But those who are willing to adapt to local conditions, amend the law, and specialize in discussing the succession of the great Wei Yuan, but this is the only one. Wei is about to perish, and this is the only family."

"This is the problem." Duan Wei smiled. "So what?"

Several people were startled together.

"I know what you mean, don't you just want to say that this traitor is unusual?" Duan Wei spread his hands in response. "Of course he's not ordinary. Whether it's a farmer from the North who can take over dozens of counties, or he's chosen by the Hei Emperor as rumored, everyone knows he's not ordinary, but he's turned the other way. What new crimes can be given to him? Moreover, even this rebel knows that 'excessive rewards to Guanlong' and that 'the power of all Guanlong' can compete for the world. Where? No matter how powerful he is, he is only in Hebei. Could it be that he wants to abandon the Wu tribe in Kansai and attack Hebei..."

"You know shit!"

Suddenly, Cao Lin, who had been silent all this time, yelled loudly, his voice filled with genuine energy, like thunder, and there was even a wind in the hall for no reason, spinning and blowing countless papers.

In fact, the rest of the people just thought it was loud, but Duan Wei, who was being targeted, suddenly felt his whole body swelled, his ears were ringing and his hair was all loose, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He just held back It was nothing more than voice and blood, but he held on to the table and did not move.

Seeing this situation, there was an instant silence in the hall.

"There are two things that this thief can't bear!" Cao Lin looked around and spoke angrily as the whirlwind fell. "One is wantonly slandering the first emperor as a thief, and the other is talking about Guozuo!"

"Then go fight!" Duan Wei was stunned by the great master, but he still had the guts to respond after recovering from the table, and even his tone became more and more fierce. "It's just like the witch clan in Pingdong. You are the general, and I'm the master of bitterness. Let's see who is afraid of death?! There are only three assistants, Dongdu and Jiangdu left in the world. Great masters, if you have this ability, where should you put it? Isn’t it used? Put it in Nanya?!”

Cao Lin's eyes widened, and the two looked at each other for a moment, but they refused to give in.

Even Duan Wei, with disheveled hair, seemed to have gone crazy, and continued to curse: "Besides, is this thief wrong? There are only two emperors in the Cao family, and the Great Wei has come to this end. It is Jiangdu who lost his mind." Crazy, and the late emperor is indispensable!"

Cao Lin was about to refute.

Unexpectedly, Duan Wei suddenly turned around and pointed at Su Wei in public: "Prime Minister Su, don't lie in front of so many people... Come and tell everyone, did you come here many times to persuade the late emperor not to treat him The people in the hometown of Dongqi and Nanchen are so strict? Do you hug the late emperor’s leg every time and beg him not to like killing people so much? As the prime minister, do you know how many acres of land there are in the whole world? For the two generations of prime ministers of this dynasty, the chief of Nanya for decades, dare to tell the truth?!"

Su Wei never thought that the fire would burn himself. When he heard the words, he raised his head, but his face was wrinkled and his eyes were absent-minded. But after a while, with a look returning to his eyes, he still nodded slowly: "I am After being a prime minister for decades, the top cannot persuade the two saints, and the bottom cannot change the good governance. The world of Great Wei, when it comes to this, I will die... If the Great Wei dies, I will also be one of them... It's a pity that the thieves cherish paper and ink, so they can't publish this article to make the world laugh."

"I'm here to laugh!"

Duan Wei laughed out loud.

Then, he directly supported the table and got up, stumbled and walked out with his saber on his shoulders. Seeing this, the people around him had nothing to say, and got up and left. For a while, only Cao Lin and Su Wei were left.

After the people left, Su Wei just slowly opened his mouth: "Cao Zhongcheng, I know your current difficulties, but I can't lie... Dawei has reached this level, even a rebel can judge the country's prosperity and failure. As the prime minister, As a child of the Su Clan, you must make your own confession."

Cao Lin nodded with difficulty.

"There is more." Su Wei glanced at the other party and reminded him earnestly. "It's time to make a decision about Kansai... Unless you believe that the Great Wei will perish, you can only go to the west."

Cao Lin remained silent.

Su Wei didn't say another word, and left the empty and messy Nanya lobby straight away.

Half an hour later, Cao Lin also returned to the Black Tower, but after regaining his composure, he met an unexpected person.

"Why is Twelve Lang here?" Cao Lin asked with a smile, as if such an embarrassing thing had never happened in Nanya.

"I've been thinking about something for a long time. I finally figured it out the next day after the documents and information were delivered, so I rode here by myself. I must explain it to Zhong Cheng." Li Qingchen was expressionless, with hair on his face There was still some snow.

"Speak." Cao Lin spoke calmly, as if calm.

"The Great Wei is not Guan Long's private property." Li Qingchen said seriously. "At the very least, it shouldn't be Guan Long's personal belongings...I'm not criticizing the first emperor, but Zhang Xing's "Compensating the Six Secret Teachings", the words seem false, but the truth is the truth...The succession of the Great Wei is clear It can be seen that the Great Zhou was originally divided into two parts. The reason why the Great Zhou was able to rise to power was that the Tang Dynasty could not inherit the world. The unification of the world is the fundamental pursuit of the dynasty, so it is the Great Wei that seeks the unification of the world through the power of Guan Long, not the other way around, Guan Long uses the power of the Great Wei to suck up the world and support himself."

At this point, Li Qingchen didn't care when he saw Cao Lin's expressionless face. He just stood up and continued to talk: "The unification of the world is beneficial to the world. If the Great Wei abandons it and intends to protect Guanlong himself, he will go against the world and lose the country." .”

No wind chime sounded, Cao Lin nodded, still expressionless: "What you said makes sense, I will tell you to listen to everyone in the Nanya...you can't just hold on to Guan Long all the time."

Li Qingchen opened his mouth to speak, but finally suppressed it. To him, it was already a straight expression of his heart. He didn't feel that the other party didn't understand what he meant—if he abandoned the world, the great Wei would be helpless. saved.

Of course, if there is no salvation for Da Wei, there will be no salvation. Many times, many people are hiding their ears and stealing the bell, but now they just gritted their teeth and poked open.

As for how to take the next road, that is another matter. He is now the actual owner of Yecheng and needs to return to Yecheng quickly.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, when Li Qingchen returned to Hebei, this round of light rain and snow that seemed to be falling in response to something had passed... At the same time, it started snowing on the southeast slope of the river.

Another great master, Zhang Bofeng, quietly looked at the things in his hands, and suddenly laughed, and coughed as he laughed.

Seeing this, Zhang Shijing below wanted to get up to take care of her, but was signaled by the other party, so she could only sit back again.

"Shijing, do you know what's interesting about these documents?" After Zhang Bofeng finished coughing, he leaned on the bench and asked.

Zhang Shijing shook her head, and then tentatively asked, "Are you a bit bold?"

"Exactly what it means." Zhang Bofeng sighed with a smile. "That's exactly what it means... This guy is too courageous, too arrogant! I saw him a few times that day, and I felt that this person was too arrogant and daring, but do you know which of his words is the most daring? , the most arrogant?"

"The last sentence of "On Guo Wei"?"

"No." Zhang Bofeng said with a smile. "A few years ago, I noticed that the true qi of the heavens and the earth had skyrocketed, and when I survived, I knew that the Great Wei was about to die."

"That is: 'It is also said that those who are good at the benefits of the world take the dragon as the most important thing, so it is said that the dragon is the one who walks the way'...?" Zhang Shijing continued to ask tentatively. "Isn't this guy boasting that he is deposing the dragon and wants to abolish those who are good at profit in the world, isn't he arrogant to the extreme?"

"Bold enough and fast enough, but not yet."

"Is that the sentence of the way of heaven, the way of man, or the sentence of where the Tao is?"

"Neither of them." Zhang Bofeng took a long breath and stood up tremblingly. He was eight feet tall, and as he grew older, he was already thin and out of shape, especially the injured shoulder. A little drooping, but after standing up, it still looks tall and majestic. "It's the sentence 'everyone in the world will answer the call of the Dragon Gang to answer the call of the world'."

Zhang Shijing's heart moved slightly, and she was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the surrounding room suddenly stirred up true energy, and a faint golden light sprinkled around the figure of the great master in the room, as if inlaid with gold.

And this Mr. Jin Ge also turned around slowly, and raised his voice and said: "Since ancient times, the will of heaven has been high, and the four emperors are just people who have the right answer, but this fellow dares to speculate on the will of heaven, and first call the people of the world." It is equivalent to God's will, and then I answered it myself...According to you, I still answered in the Trinity Contemplation, I am afraid that the four emperors would not dare to intervene...This guy is too bold...The British public is angry Yet?"

Zhang Shijing was taken aback for a moment, nodded, and immediately agreed: "Yes, it's too bold."

But it didn't say whether the British government was angry or not.
