A carriage stopped on the outskirts of Liangzhou City, and the young boy who hung the knife Peiyu stepped out of the carriage, carrying a pot of green ant wine that he had just bought, and looked up, the persimmon trees were scattered on the plain, and clusters of bright yellow fell on the branches, barely making the barren northwest land finally touch the word harvest.
The young man walked slowly, from time to time to look at those familiar persimmon trees near or far, remember that he often sneaked out of the city to wander around here, bored, and gave those persimmon trees a lot of nicknames, half a mile away the branch slightly open teeth and claws, called hanging armor, if you see it in the twilight, there is still a little scary, and this short persimmon tree, a few years have not seen, has been a few points taller, roughly looking, but more fruitful, full of gold, very happy, he gave it the nickname back then, is the little yellow robe.
The young man continued along a dry stream, and at last came to a hut surrounded by earthen walls, behind which grew a few strange crooked-necked elms.
The house has no owner.
The young man walked to a tree stump, squatted down and bent down to wipe the dust with his cuffs, then sat down on it, looked around, he gently rested the green ant wine on his robe, and shouted in his throat, "Blind old Xu, I have brought you wine." ” If it were those times in the last years of Yonghui, there would definitely be a blind and lame man who would run out quickly, take the wine jug from his hand, skillfully uncover the mud seal, bow his head and sniff hard, and then the vicissitudes of life will bloom on the old face with a big smile, smiling like a persimmon tree in autumn, but when the old man drinks with himself, he will always get cheap and sell him well, when he has a little spare money in hand, he can't be spoiled at will, no matter how small the copper coin, one by one has to be saved, then he can marry a daughter-in-law.
The world is big, and the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law and having a baby is the biggest.
At that time, Lao Xu always thought about it and said that there is a place called Rouge County in our Beiliang Youzhou, and my aunt is the most watery, if you Xu boy can ask a little lady from Rouge County to be his daughter-in-law, and then bring a message over, my old Xu will go on for three days and three nights, and I will also go to your house to rub the table and drink wine.
I remember that time, after the old man said these words, he cautiously asked himself, drinking such a big good thing, with such an old blind man as a guest like him, will he dislike and shame If Xu Xiaozi, the elders and in-laws in your family will dislike it, then he Lao Xu will not join in the fun, just go back and get two pots of green ant wine with acceptable prices.
The young man who often brought green ant wine to the old man or stole chickens and ducks patted his chest and said that he was the most effective in talking about his family, and if Lao Xu didn't go when he was holding the wedding wine, he would be anxious with him, and said that Lao Xu must sit at the main table.
At that time, the old man only thought that the young man who often chatted with him was a common young man in the Beiliang market, and when he was young, he was the kind of person who did not touch the ground with his feet, floating around and restless, so when he heard that he was going to be invited to sit at the main table and drink the wedding wine, he was happy and happy, but he didn't think much about it.
Not to mention that young man with a very strong tone and that Qingliang Mountain, there are too many people surnamed Xu in the world, not at that time, young people always revealed their longing for Beiliang in small talk, thinking of being a chivalrous and righteous ranger, using the best sword, drinking the strongest wine, and finding the most beautiful woman in the rivers and lakes, she must be more beautiful than Aunt Rouge County.
The old man always disagrees with the young man, and tells him in the tone of a passerby, don't be so big, no matter how good the Central Plains is, it is not home after all.
At that time, the young man also sighed, saying that he also understood this truth, and the master who taught him to read and write at home at home once said, "Young people are not away from home for ten years, and those who are old are going out and traveling far away."
After hearing this, the old man smiled and said that your teacher is really knowledgeable, how can he teach you such an apprentice with half a bucket of water.
Sometimes the two sat together, chatting and chatting, and the old blind man Lao Xu would sit on the tree stump next to him, holding the cane in both hands, basking in the sun and dozing secretly.
Perhaps, many years ago, on the battlefield of Xileibi, there was a young soldier of the old character battalion, his legs were not lame, and his eyes were not blind, but he was also like this, he would nap in the sun, but the crutches in his hand were replaced by iron spears, and maybe there was a big banner of Xu characters not far away, hunting in the wind.
Now that it is the autumn of the third year of auspicious charms, the blind man Xu has died a long time ago, and naturally there will be no more bits and pieces.
The old man did not live long enough to drink the wine that the young man liked.
The young man also promised the old man that after the old man died, he would personally carry the coffin for the old man for the funeral.
But the young people didn't do it.
At that time, he was far away in Jiangnan.
He didn't go to the grave of the blind old Xu, but just poured the pot of green ant wine lightly on the ground in front of the stump, and said softly when he bent down to pour the wine: "Lao Xu, the wine was secretly bought by Xi Shi, who sold wine, and now the world is not peaceful, and there will be a war soon, our Beiliang began to prohibit the people from making wine privately, so this pot of wine is not cheap, if it is not an acquaintance, the shop may not dare to sell it to me, the daughter of the proprietress is now smoking a strip of water and water, and the eighteenth change of the female university, it is really true."
I heard that the girl is now in love with a young foreigner, who is teaching at a private school near her house, and when I bought wine before, the proprietress joked that I was late, and her daughter had actually waited for several years.
Look at it, I really didn't brag to you back then, I just said that girl has a good eye, otherwise she won't be able to pick me."
There are some regrets, like an old dog crawling on the corner of the street whimpering alone, delicate and leisurely, scratching the heart and lungs.
He left the flask on the stump and got up to leave.
The carriage returned to Qingliang Mountain.
Nowadays, there are two places in the Beiliang Palace, Wutong Courtyard is nicknamed Fengge, and the official residence of the deputy envoy presided over by Song Dongming in the middle of the mountain is called Longmen.
As soon as he returned to Qingliang Mountain, a Longmen official rushed to him and reported to him that it was the deputy economic strategy that the lord had something important to discuss.
When he saw Song Dongming standing in front of the low mansion and waiting, he knew that no matter whether the news was good or bad, it was definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise with the calmness of one of the former ministers of Liyang, he would never be unable to sit still like this.
Sure enough, Song Dongming waited until he approached, then turned around and walked into the official residence in the center together, and said in a slightly hurried tone: "The four pieces of news have come together, and they are related to Liuzhou, Central Plains, Beijing and Beimang, and they are all weighed by the prince. ” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Then let's talk about the news from Liuzhou first." ” Song Dongming nodded and said: "There is an urgent spy report from Fengxiang Military Town, which is closest to the Western Regions, Cao Wei and Xie Xichen have changed the established strategy of the Duhu Mansion without authorization, and chose to take the initiative to attack, wanting to eat the Tan Cavalry in one fell swoop in the Miyun Mountain Pass."
Xu Fengnian's face was as usual, and he said: "It should be that the monks and soldiers of Lantuo Mountain did not set off with the Tan Tan cavalry.
Net" Song Dongming said worriedly: "Even so, the gap between the forces of the two sides is still not big, wouldn't it go against the original intention of Liuzhou to use troops in such a hard-fought battle."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "If we fail to wipe out the Tanbu cavalry in the battle of Miyun Pass, then this battle will be meaningless, and it can even be directly said that because of their greed, the entire Liuzhou has fallen into great passivity, but since even Xie Xichen is willing to accompany Cao Wei to move in danger, I believe in their vision." ” Song Dongming sighed and said with a wry smile: "These two guys are really not worry-free. ” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "If you win, there may be unexpected surprises." ” Song Dongming knew in his heart, "It's true, if the cavalry army of the Tan tribe is wiped out, maybe Lantuo Mountain will have to be re-weighed." ” Xu Fengnian asked: "What news is there in the Central Plains, Wen Taiyi and Ma Zhongxian are finally stumbling over the matter of soaking up grain."
Song Dongming smiled: "This is not important news. ” Xu Fengnian was a little surprised, "There are more important changes in the situation than this" After Song Dongming and Xu Fengnian sat down in the council hall respectively, the deputy envoy of Beiliang Dao, who had been nodding and acknowledging by the officials of the Liyang Imperial Court, had a playful look in his eyes: "That Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, who was originally loyal to the imperial court, has just taken refuge in the two rebellious vassal kings. ” Xu Fengnian was stunned on the spot.
Song Dongming sneered: "Wait for the price and sell, this hand is really beautiful, I estimate that this vassal king who judged the situation sold himself for a sky-high price." ” Xu Fengnian felt absurd, frowned, and said: "Could it be that Zhao Bing and Chen Zhibao want to push Zhao Xun out to be the emperor."
Song Dongming said with a smile: "In the words of the prince" Xu Fengnian fell into deep thought.
If you add Jing'an Dao in the waist of the Central Plains, plus the Western Shu Southern Zhao, which has long been controlled by Chen Zhibao, then now the entire area south of the Guangling River is completely connected with the same qi, and half of the country is far from Yang, and it has already fallen into the hands of the three feudatories.
At this time, Zhao Bing, the first and most powerful Yan King Zhao Bing, seemed to be the most qualified to ascend the throne and be the emperor, and ruled by the orthodox Liyang River, but in fact, on the contrary, Zhao Bing was the most unsuitable to replace the python robe with a dragon robe early, no matter how unbearable Song Yushu said about the Liyang Emperor in that edict, but the government and the opposition, especially the Tianxia corporal clan with Jiangnan Dao as the world, still have their hearts set on Tai'an City.
Zhao Bing is not suitable to be a bird, and the foreign surname Chen Zhibao who is not rightly named is even more unsuitable, so Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, has become a candidate to avoid difficulties, Zhao Heng Zhao Xun father and son, this Zhao family, in the Liyang Dynasty that has not yet annexed the Central Plains, is actually far more in line with the orthodox identity than Zhao Dian Zhao Zhang, the old Jing'an King Zhao Heng was "matched" with Qingzhou after the failure to seize the heir, the reason why he was so resentful, not without reason, today's Xiangfu New Dynasty, I am afraid that few officials know the secret of the early years, before Zhao Zhang's grandfather ascended the throne, Because the Prince of Alcohol of the same generation had no children under his knees, the Zongren Mansion proposed to pass Zhao Heng to Prince Alcohol, but the process of Zhao Zheng's grandfather's accession to the throne was more confusing than that of his son Zhao Dian, in short, in the end, Zhao Heng's identity became a confused account that I am afraid that even the old people of the Zongren Mansion could not understand.
But if you take out the old things and bring them up again at this time, it is better to have a coincidence, which can be described as just right.
For Zhao Xun's step to the sky, Xu Fengnian didn't have any sourness, but he couldn't help laughing, thinking of the poor guy who was thrown into the Spring God Lake twice before and after the hereditary replacement, and really gave him a dragon chair and a dragon robe Xu Fengnian retracted his thoughts, "No matter how chaotic the Central Plains is, that's it, by the way, what's going on in Tai'an City?"
Song Dongming habitually rubbed a jade pendant hanging from his waist with his thumb and forefinger, and said with a smile: "Several eunuchs in power in the seal and ribbon eunuchs have been dispatched, and they are rushing to our post road to Beiliang, leading a large number of freshly baked holy decrees. ” Xu Fengnian wondered: "A lot" Song Dongming couldn't help but smile: "Otherwise, where do you need three or four eunuchs to go out together, the most important of which is your title of Dazhuguo, as well as the posthumous sealing of Liu Jinu Wang Lingbao and other generals of the Northern Liangbian Army, such as Tai'an City's posthumous title of Liu Jinu as a first-class earl, and the name Kejing, in addition to the identity of the two future princes who are carefully prepared for the early winter of the 6 Chengyan Wang, the reason why the eunuchs of the Seal Ribbon Eunuch are walking relatively slowly is probably to wait for your relatives, so as to ask for a three-happiness color."
It can be seen that the sincerity of Tai'an City this time is really different from the previous two times. ” Xu Fengnian fell into deep thought.
Song Dongming did not disturb the young vassal king's thoughts.

Song Dongming looked out of the house quietly, and his thoughts were fluttering.
The biggest feeling of this second civil official in Beiliang Province is that Lu Shengxiang soared into the sky on the Liyang Temple, and this person was able to pay homage to the prime minister, not because of how comfortable this old man in Chunxuelou was in the officialdom, but because his talent was too high and his military achievements were expected, but the timing of Lu Shengxiang's rise was worth playing.
I believe that Lu Shengxiang himself may not be as complacent as the Beijing officialdom imagined, maybe he will be more like walking on thin ice than when he was the commander of the Southern Expedition, and he is in a high position under the general trend, and when the general trend is gone, how can he succeed in retiring from the evil scorn of the old Liang King Xu Xiao, and the old assistant Zhang Julu's raiding and exterminating the family, isn't it a lesson from the past When the two generations of Liyang Emperors before today's son Zhao Zhang, the two dragon robes on their respective bodies, one is wise and martial, and the other is magnificent, but it is impossible to deny the blood on the cuffs.
It is true that the two emperors have never killed innocent people indiscriminately, but once they want to kill people, they have always killed the people with the highest merits.
Isn't Lu Shengxiang worried about whether he will become a sacrifice for the new monarch after Zhao Zhan when he ascends the throne Song Dongming finally understood, it is not difficult to fight in the Liyang officialdom, Tai'an City can tolerate scholars with both talent and virtue like Qiyang Longhuan Wen, and can also tolerate scholars like Wen Shouren Jin Lanting who sell their fame and reputation, and can tolerate Sima Puhua and other scholars who blindly practice in the public realm, but it can't tolerate those scholars who insist that the people are the nobles and the monarch are light, and they also can't tolerate those who have no merit.
Liyang and the Central Plains, it is easy to be an official for the Zhao family, but it may not be easy to do things for the people.
Many things, even the emperor, will be constrained in every way, in the early years, the blue-eyed governance of Cao Yun and Xu officials, may be itself what the first emperor Zhao Dian wanted to do, but around the Zhao family around the complex forces accumulated for a hundred years, or the new upstart in power who has recently become a temple, each has its own desires, each has its own selfish intentions, just like a deeply entangled net, overwhelming, covering the territory of the Central Plains, on this big net, mixed with all kinds of unimaginable complex situations, the struggle for imperial power, the dispute between parties, the dispute between civil and military, the dispute between the scholars and the Han clan, The dispute between the north and the south, the dispute between the capital and the place, the dispute between the gentleman and the villain, there is a dispute between the high and low seats in each yamen, and there is a dispute between the yamen and the yamen inside and outside.
Therefore, Song Dongming recognized Beiliang more and more.
Here, doing things is relatively simple.
But at the same time, Song Dongming also knew that this kind of valuable simplicity would deteriorate rapidly if the Beiliang Xu family was no longer limited to the four states of Beiliang Province in the future.
For example, between him and Bai Yu, between the "relatives" of the six kings, between young people such as Xu Beitong and Chen Xiliang and veterans of the border army, between Huang Shang, a person with outstanding hope and notorious people such as Huangfu and Li Mofan, between the Beiliang cavalry army and the infantry army, between the elite border army, and so on.
Even one day, the contradiction will appear between Xu Fengnian and "everyone".
At this moment, Song Dongming had mixed feelings.
A voice sounded in his ears, "Lord Song, what's going on over there in Beimang?"
Song Dongming came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The Beimang County Lord with the pseudonym Fan Bainu entered the customs from Jizhou, transferred to our Youzhou, registered with the Huangfu Emperor, and finally arrived at Qingliang Mountain in about two days under the escort of the Tongguan cavalry. ” Xu Fengnian was surprised: "What is she here to do?"
Song Dongming shook his head and said, "I can't guess either."
However, she brought a few servants with her, all of whom were cowardly Xue Wei of the Beiting King's Tent. ” Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "When did Beiliang become so lively. ” Song Dongming was radiant, sharp, spread out his palms, and then clenched, "The world belongs, all in my Beiliang thoughts." ” Xu Fengnian said with a smile for no reason, "This kind of thing, Xu Xiao liked to hear it most when he was alive." ” Song Dongming smiled and asked, "Don't you like it?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said frankly: "There is no one in the world who doesn't like to be slapped on the back." ” After saying this, Xu Fengnian looked a little lonely.
After Xu Xiao became famous, after he gradually grew old, perhaps the only regret of that old man in his life was that he didn't hear his son say a good word about him.
It doesn't seem to have a word
