In Dongting Lake, Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan experienced the life of a fisherman and fisherwoman for a few days, Zheng Qingchuan said to Ah Yun: "When a small tornado blows, a deep whirlpool is formed on the water surface, which scares me to death" After that, Zheng Qingchuan did not dare to continue to experience the rain in the south, it rained, Zheng Qingchuan was afraid that he would not be sick in the rain, so he didn't dare to go out casually, sitting in the inn, and found that enjoying the rain scene of Dongting Lake was also a unique style.
Echoing with the green mountains in the distance, every rain is like the strings of a musical instrument, and the sound will never make the ears feel noisy.It also washes away the dust in the air and relieves the anxiety of breathing.When Zheng Qingchuan was enjoying it, he temporarily forgot about his troubles.However, it really responded to that sentence: there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have misfortunes and blessings, the rain has not stopped, the thunder in the sky occasionally wields, and the world has also exploded A thunderstorm The news of the emperor's sudden death came out of the capital, and the people were full of discussions.The emperor is also a human being, and it is not terrible for the emperor to die, but the emperor did not leave an heir to the throne before he died, which is terrible Some people have lingering fears about the battle for the throne a few years ago, and some people are excited, and they are ready to move, Zheng You asked Su Mu: "What should I do" Su Mu said: "Wait and see what happens" Zheng You listened to Su Mu's suggestion, went back to the barracks to discipline his subordinates, did not dare to ignore it, and even had no interest in going to see Furong in the outer room, and suddenly became worried about the country and the people, and often sighed.However, the thunder rang one after another for half a month, and the second thunder exploded: a group of civil officials argued endlessly over the election of the prince in the imperial family, and turned the palace into a vegetable market, and the officials were like chickens, ducks and geese, although the emperor who died did not leave a prince, but there was no shortage of side branches in the royal family, there were no less than twenty young men, and more than five men of appropriate age who were virtuous.
When the face was red and the neck was thick, the third thunder caught them off guard: Zhao Hu, a powerful general with heavy troops in this dynasty, commanded the soldiers to occupy the palace, showing his ambition, he wanted to ascend the throne as the emperor This is really a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind Ah The civil officials were dumbfounded, some people began to scold the mighty general Zhao Hu, and some people quietly changed their camp and stood behind Zhao Hu.What's more serious is that there are other generals who rushed to the capital from the border to fight against Zhao Hu, scolding Zhao Hu for being a traitor, and the people are also excited, scolding Zhao Hu for being a traitor and a mighty general Zhao Hu's behavior, just like a person who is a small servant waits until the master dies, he occupies the master's house and takes the master's property However, Zhao Hu has military power in his hands, he has a large group of subordinates, others are scolding, he is holding a knife in his hand, and there is a large group of thugs around him to talk about the battle value, for the time being, Zhao Hu has the advantage, for example, Although the civil officials have a lotus tongue and a powerful mouth, they can scold others into anger and turn out the eighteen generations of other people's ancestors, but their necks can't withstand the knife slash and hear bad news one after another, Zheng You is so worried that his clothes are wide and people are haggard, and he asked Su Mu: "Su Mu, someone sent me a secret letter and asked me to go to the capital to crusade against Zhao Hu, what should I do" Su Mu also had a solemn look in his eyes and said: "For the sake of the family in the capital, it is best for you to stay still for the time being." ”The mighty general Zhao Hu took control of the capital, and the Zheng family was surrounded in the capital, if Zheng You openly opposed Zhao Hu, who could guarantee that the Zheng family's heads would not be thrown down from the city tower one by one by Zhao Hu's subordinates Zheng You's voice weakened, and said hesitantly: "However, the first emperor was not kind to me, am I disloyal like this" Once Zhao Hu usurped the throne and changed the surname, the previous royal family was no longer a royal family.Regarding the change of dynasty, Su Mu looked down on it than Zheng You.Throughout history, there is no dynasty, which generation can keep the foundation forever, the royal family has changed dozens of times, no one can say that it is innocent but B robbed A, C robbed B and robbed the silver The person who robbed the silver is a robber and a rat crossing the street, but the person who grabbed the throne has become the son of heaven worshiped by ten thousand people, and has become the master of the palace The Cao family robbed the throne of the Liu family, and later the Sima family robbed the throne of the Cao family, using the same despicable and shameless means, but then it was not justifiably passed down for hundreds of years Su Mu's fingers tapped on the table, After pondering for a while, he suggested: "Although the main contradiction at present is that the officers and soldiers have to fight again, the people will certainly not be at peace.Ayou, I suggest that you concentrate on suppressing the bandits and send them to the imperial court, indicating that you want to maintain peace in Hubei and quell the bandits.Then, say to your lieutenants and soldiers: If there is chaos among the people, thousands of families may be implicated.Killed bandits, 100% can make meritorious contributions, if you have other ambitions, then please leave by yourself, everyone goes their own way anyway, for the peace of the world, that is, loyalty, every troubled times, even the street gangsters will not keep to themselves, the robbers are taking advantage of the fire to rob, and the people with bad intentions are active, you see the opportunity to act, don't get involved in the affairs of the capital for the time being. ”Although Zheng You felt that Su Mu's words were reasonable, he was still depressed, and said sadly: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and now I have finally realized it" If loyalty is his backbone, then the Zheng family is his weakness, because of the Zheng family, he can't crusade against Zhao Hu.After Zheng You sighed, he quickly whipped back to the barracks to appease the army, Su Mu was silent, with sorrow accumulating between his eyebrows, and said to Zheng Qingchuan frankly: "I'm worried about Aqing. ”Zheng Qingchuan's eyes were gloomy, and he had the same worries.Su Mu said: "The Fuguo Mansion supported the first emperor last time, I am afraid that they will take action again this time, and gamblers will not gamble only once" Zheng Qingchuan said in a pale tone: "The last time the Fuguo Mansion won the bet, it proves that they are not stupid." ”Under the nest, if the Fuguo Mansion does not win this time, how to ensure that Aqing is not implicated Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan are both planning for the worst, and they are thinking of a way to find a bloody storm in the worst case, which not only tests the combat effectiveness and judgment, but also tests the family affection About a group of relatives and friends who are far away in the capital, no news at this time is the best news.However, Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan's hearts were not immune to torment, A Qing, Hong Yuejing, the eldest lady of the Zheng family, the eldest master of the Zheng family, the old lady of the Zheng family, Xiao Wujiang, Xiao Wuhuai, and Fu Ting were all people they cared about, but there was no less danger lurking around them than tigers, Zheng You's affairs were relatively smooth, and he reached a consensus with the officials in this area of Hubei, and he led the troops to maintain the stability of these places, including: catching thieves, catching robbers, arresting murderers, and catching cults, anyway, to protect the people, and to do things that the people support, And he must not be idle, his subordinates are a little sneaky, to participate in the affairs of the capital, that is with the intention of "seeking wealth and danger", but most of the people are greedy for life and fear of death, content and happy, and refuse to take risks, so they follow Zheng You to catch thieves and robbers.Anyway, there is nothing wrong with doing this, and those who go to participate in the battle for the throne must first choose a camp, if the bet wins, and ensure that they are not killed by the other party in advance, that is, they will be added to the official and knighted; If you lose the bet, you will become a chaotic minister and thief, and you will have to cause disaster to your family Most people have the same idea as Zheng You, in order to protect their family, they can't take risks.Zheng You is very busy, for a month, Zheng Qingchuan and Su Mu did not see Zheng You's face, but all kinds of news have not been cut off, Hubei has become the most stable place in the country under the protection of Zheng You, and people in some surrounding places have helped the old and the young, and began to move, saying that a throne is really harmful, and many innocent people will be implicated, even the rural people who don't care about political affairs don't want to escape the mighty general Zhao Hu fought with those soldiers who were loyal to the dynasty outside the capital, and it was not easy to fight.
He asked some civil officials in the imperial court to draft an official document, praising Zheng You's merits in suppressing bandits in Hubei, which was also the idea given to him by the strategists, which means: The fewer enemies, the better, if more and more people maintain a neutral attitude, then the easier it will be for General Zhao to seize the throne, this trick seems to be quite useful, some of the soldiers are afraid of fighting, retreat, and quietly flee to Hubei, unwilling to fight anymore In short, the Hubei region is becoming more and more stable, and at the same time, the battlefield outside the capital is getting stronger and weaker, and the battle is clear for two months, The mighty general Zhao Hu finally took control of the overall situation and couldn't wait to ascend the throne as the emperor The so-called: once the son of heaven and a courtier changed an emperor, and most of the ministers in the court also changed However, the new emperor knew that he was at a loss, so he did not hold the family members of those who opposed him as emperor accountable.The emperor was tolerant, but the world was peaceful, and many people had already accepted their fate and recognized the new dynasty.Zheng You also hurriedly played a fold, showing that he was willing to hand over the military power immediately, and the new emperor took the throne because of the military power, so he was particularly concerned about the military power, and silently commented in his heart that Zheng You was smart and knowledgeable about current affairs, and then accepted Zheng You's military power and promoted Zheng You's official position.A military attaché, no military power, no matter how high the official position is, it is just an empty shell Zheng You is not nostalgic for military power, but his whole body is relaxed He went to Su Mu to drink, and after toasting, he sighed: "Almost died" Su Mu has already determined that the Fuguo Mansion is smart again this time, Ah Qing is not in danger, so he is in a relaxed mood and said with a smile: "There is no danger, don't you plan to eat fasting and chanting Buddha for a few years" Zheng You laughed and said: "I don't have that concentration, I can't do it haha" laughed and laughed, and suddenly he cried again, two lines of tears flowed on his face, Said sadly: "Su Mu, I may be written into the history books and scolded by future generations" Those loyal ministers who crashed to death on the pillar are long-lasting, and Zheng You himself feels that he has failed the word loyalty.No matter how much helplessness there is, it can't resist self-esteem.Su Mu stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said firmly: "Ayou, I admire you very much for you to go for a walk on the street tomorrow, listen to the praise of the locals for you, and you will be in a good mood" The next day, Zheng You really went to the street, which caused onlookers.There are children on the street singing ballads, praising Zheng You: "General Zheng catches robbers, majestic Saierlang God General Zheng protects the people and wins the name of thousands of generations" Listening to the meaty ballad, seeing the people kowtow to him and thank him, Zheng You blushed, but his mood is really good, after all, there is a give-and-take, Zheng You understands: After he can't take all the good things, Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan went to Suzhou, Zheng You, Ah Yun and Xun Tielu returned to the capital Su Lao Lady did not survive the winter and died in November.After Su Mu finished the funeral, he kept filial piety until April of the following year, because he was not worried about Aqing and Ayun, he and Zheng Qingchuan also went back to the capital.After the expiration of the twenty-seven months of filial piety, Su Mu re-entered the Hanlin Academy and became an official again.------ digression------ good night friends:
