Chapter 604 Cang Lei (4)

Chapter 604 Cang Lei ([-])

In the palace of the imperial city, the voice of words continued to come out.

"...Hetian, a pair of white jade cups, a pair of white jade cups, a pair of white jade bowls, a brush washer, an inkstone, and a sapphire carved dragon screen... A painting of the Ten Saints by Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty... ...a golden and jade Guanyin statue, a golden and jade Buddhist altar, a copy of the "Lenga Abadara Sutra" written in gold leaf and jade skin, and the "Diamond Sutra"..."

With the sound of speaking, a large number of treasures and utensils were carried into the hall.When the Deputy Envoy was reading out the gift items, Xu Zerun secretly looked around and the Emperor of Jin Kingdom above.

As a new force that rose suddenly and replaced the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom was not an aristocrat with a profound background, but an upstart who had acquired a lot of treasures suddenly.However, as far as the imperial city of Huining is concerned, even the shadow of the nouveau riche has not been revealed. It occupies a relatively large area, but the palace walls are actually wooden structures, mostly made of willow and elm. There are offices in the courtyard and people living in the backyard. Only this hall looks a little powerful, but compared to the slight Wu Dynasty imperial palace, this "palace" here is just a hut.

However, Xu Zerun also knew in his heart that what really determines what a place is is not its shape, but the people who live here.Regardless of whether they were in a hut or a yurt, the people gathered around the man in front were already existences that the whole world would not dare to insult.

On the throne, Wu Qimai was watching with great interest the various curios brought in.

As the second emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Wu Qimai is a little bit less world-swallowing than his brother Aguda, but he is actually bigger than Aguda. It is said that he is born with supernatural power and can fight with bare hands Xiong Hu.Before Aguda started the incident, Emperor Tianzuo called a gathering of Jurchen chiefs, and asked all the chiefs to dance to make the emperor happy. Aguda refused, and Emperor Tianzuo wanted to kill him. It was Wu Qimai who came out as an attendant to perform his best. , captured the bear and tied the tiger with his bare hands, amused Emperor Tianzuo, and saved A Gu from beating him to death.

But it is also because of this that a loyal big man who is by Aguda's side seems a bit honest and stupid.Although after inheriting the throne, according to other people's evaluations, he did inherit a few brushes from Aguda, but his administration was relatively peaceful and steady.Even seeing the other party, Xu Zerun couldn't help but think of a rumor he heard before:

When A Guda was in power, he was very frugal in his conduct. He had made an agreement with the officials that the property in the treasury could only be used during wars.After Wu Qimai succeeded to the throne, his money was relatively tight, and he had to spend money in all aspects. This emperor was a person who lived a hard life, and he could bear everything else, but he had a preference for wine and meat. One day in March this year, he couldn't bear it. Stopped, stole the money from the treasury and went out to spend it. After being found out by Zong Han, he exposed it in front of the courtiers, then pulled Wu Qimai down and beat him twenty sticks, and then the entire courtiers knelt down plead guilty.

Xu Zerun had seen Wanyan Zonghan before, he was one of the most terrifying ministers in the court, maybe it was really possible to do such a thing.Of course, if something really happened, I really don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse for Wu Chao.

As an envoy of the Wu Dynasty, Xu Zerun himself was originally a long-sleeved and good dancer, and he was also good at observing faces and people.In the process of dealing with these warriors and reckless men, he also knew that these people have one advantage, that is, they basically know how to do things after receiving money.In the past three months, he has contacted quite a few ministers of the Kingdom of Jin, and he also knows that the court of the Kingdom of Jin has been arguing endlessly over this matter.Came here today, although some of the ministers he knew were not there, but looking at the satisfied smiling face of the Emperor Jin above him, he felt that this matter should have a good result.

Various gifts were presented, and then formally handed over the credentials containing various trade treaties, Wu Qimai accepted them, just glanced at them casually, put them aside, and got off his seat.

Once he stood up, Xu Zerun felt the oppressive feeling in front of the huge figure. The Jurchen emperor who was dressed in sable brocade and fur like a giant bear came here, reached out to touch the tributes of porcelain and jade, and then He picked it up and played with it for a while: "It's a good thing." He whispered, and when he saw some bacon for tribute and good wine sealed in a porcelain bottle in the gift, he couldn't help playing with it, and bent down to smell it: " Really good stuff..."

"When we broke into the Khitan Palace." He turned back and said to Xu Zerun, "The emperor ran away and took a lot of things with him. He broke them all the way, and some good things were not left behind. Of course, they were also the ones who went in first." Boy, I don't understand at all, after the beating, they set fire everywhere..."

He was over 50 years old, and the frightening but honest emperor seemed to be saying, "I love you so much." After he finished speaking, he looked around the pile of gifts again, and then waved to a group of courtiers. Waving: "I have retreated from the dynasty, I have retreated from the court today, you go back."

The courtiers began to leave, and Xu Zerun frowned: "Your Majesty, that...that agreement..."

"The matter has been settled." Wu Qimai stood up from the rare play, walked towards Xu Zerun, then reached out and put his arms around his shoulders, and said in a rough voice, "Messenger Xu, don't think too much. Come, you can do whatever you want." Here I am, let me show you something."

Wu Qimai was a head and a half taller than him. He stretched out his hand to pat him on the back, and he couldn't help but take a step forward. At this time, the other party had already started to walk out of the hall. Xu Zerun and others followed. There are a few white clouds floating in the sky, and the sun has risen, bringing a slight warmth.The emperor got into his carriage and asked someone to bring him over together: "Envoy Xu, sit with me."

Xu Zerun declined, but finally went up. He leaned against the curtain of the carriage and sat on the stool with only half of his buttocks, but Wu Qimai gave him a hand and told him to sit more firmly: "The road is bumpy, don't you sit down?" Be steady, but you will fall."

The emperor sat upright on the other side of the carriage, with his hands on his lap and a smile on his face, looking like a giant bear sitting there.

For some reason, Xu Zerun felt somewhat flustered.A moment later, while the carriage was moving forward, Wu Qimai spoke.

"Emissary Xu, my brother and I have admired Sinology many years ago. We know that there is a Wu Dynasty in the south, which is prosperous and prosperous, and everyone... can learn and be educated. It is the kingdom of heaven. Envoy Xu, you understand ?"

Xu Zerun cupped his hands respectfully: "Zerun...Understood. Your Majesty, as long as the two countries can open border exchanges and have more exchanges, soon, the Kingdom of Jin..."

"Like those things you brought today, they are all good things." Wu Qimai waved his hand, interrupting his long talk, "Of course you also have problems, you always like to make some...we don't What's the use of those? I can't figure it out, it's useless..."

"Of course, we also have problems." Wu Qimai didn't entangle too much, and continued, "Hey, I have just succeeded to the throne. There are enemies in the court, and the bottom must be stable. I really don't want to fight anymore. Now Liao The country is over. Youyan and whatnot, you take back what you should take, it would be best if you can take a rest. But!"

He stretched out his hand and raised his voice: "But... I absolutely don't want anyone to think that my Jurchens are afraid of fighting, and I won't dare to fight again after winning the world! If anyone has such thoughts, he will die. Messenger Xu, do you understand?"

Xu Zerun was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Foreigner, I understand." But he was happy in his heart, because when someone said that, the actual threat would no longer appear.Sure enough, Wu Qimai also laughed afterwards: "It's good to understand, it's good to understand, if you people in the court also understand, then the world will be peaceful."

While speaking, the bumpy carriage gradually stopped, and Wu Qimai said, "Here we are, let's get down." But he got up first, and Xu Zerun got off the carriage behind. In the well-formed courtyard, a few trees were moving in the autumn wind. Apart from the envoys like Xu Zerun and the group of guards brought by Wu Qimai, there were not many people around.Standing in the courtyard, the emperor looked at the slightly bleak scene, took a deep breath, and raised a finger to the people beside him.

"Messenger Xu, close your eyes and listen, listen to this voice."

At this moment, Xu Zerun's heart was fluctuating, full of doubts, he closed his eyes and listened, only the rustling sound of the autumn wind blowing through the tree canopy was heard, but he couldn't hear the sound that was farther away.When he opened his eyes, Wu Qimai's whisper sounded again.

"When I was young, I hunted in the Changbai Mountains. To be a good hunter, ears are very important. From a distance, I can hear the sound of bears and tigers. Their paws, stepping into the snow, and leaves Ah, gently swaying, where does the wind come from... a pair of good ears will save your life, you listen now, this sound is really... hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...

He waved his hand, gently imitating the sound of the wind, and smiled at Xu Zerun, but Xu Zerun looked puzzled. He also knew that many emperors might like the feeling that others could not understand him, so half His doubts were also deliberately pretended.After Wu Qimai laughed, he stepped forward, towards a courtyard gate over there.During the journey, the last words he said to Xu Zerun were: "By the way, Messenger Xu, do you remember what I said on the carriage?"

Xu Zerun replied: "Return to Your Majesty, remember."

Wu Qimai stepped through the small door.

Xu Zerun also followed, the scenery unfolded in front of him, and then something densely packed, like thousands of ants walking, spread up from his back, his scalp was numb, his whole body was tightening at that moment... …

*************

Shangjing, Linhuang Mansion.

When Wanyan Xiyin walked into the exquisite small courtyard, the sound of the guzheng sounded. He walked up the small building, opened the door and entered the exquisite room. The woman was stroking the strings of the zither in front of the window, and smiled softly at him. laugh.

He sat down on the chair, closed his eyes and listened to the woman playing.

"God of Valley" Wanyan Xiyin is considered the head of civil servants among the Jurchens.Of course, it is said that he is the head of civil servants, mainly because he is the most knowledgeable among the people. Regarding the knowledge of the Han people and the study of Confucianism, he is not inferior to many great Confucianists in the Wu Dynasty in the south.In the early years, he even independently created the Jurchen characters.

Not only has he made achievements in learning, but among the ministers of the Jurchen, he is full of genius, both civil and military.Jin Wushu, the fourth son of Aguda, who left behind a demonic name in later generations, Wanyan Zongbi, respects and fears him at the same time.

The person living above this small building is one of his concubines, Wanyan Xiyin admires Sinology, this concubine is also a daughter of the Wu Dynasty living in the North, named Chen Wenjun, the two have been married for a long time For many years, Qin Se has been singing in harmony, loving each other, and Chen Wenjun has given birth to two children for Wanyan Xiyin. After the death of Wanyan Xiyin's main wife, the wife's position has been vacant, and she has become Wanyan Xiyin's real wife. .At this time, the Jurchen had no prejudice against the Han people, and people in the mansion often called her "Mrs. Han" in private.

Every time she came home, Wanyan Xiyin would habitually listen to the other party play a guzheng, and this time was no exception.When the soft flowing melody stopped, Wanyan Xiyin opened his eyes and stared at the beloved woman for a long time.Chen Wenjun stroked the strings of the zither, tilted his head, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, my husband?"

Wanyan Xiyin was silent for a moment, then said: "I'm going south."

***************

The vision unfolds ahead.

Huge school field, countless banners.In front of the school grounds is a high platform, and the figure in front of it walks towards the high platform. Under the high platform, a large number of officials dressed in court uniforms of the Jin Dynasty were tied up with ropes and knelt there. All of them were officials who had been visited by Xu Zerun and gave gifts. All kinds of gifts were piled up on the floor, together with precious porcelain and real silver vessels, a huge charcoal brazier was burning under the high platform, and the heat wave was billowing, distorting the air.

The leaves swirl and pass underfoot.

Xu Zerun is a smart person, a very smart person. The moment he saw the scene in front of him clearly, something emerged from the bottom of his heart and grabbed his mind.Goosebumps surged up with the coolness, Wu Qimai’s words in the car came out, and then something farther away, he went all the way north in a boat, saw great mountains and rivers, and when he left home, his wife My son's eyes, countless eyes are passing through my mind...

The strong wind blew across the school grounds, the banners and leaves were rustling, and the sky and clouds stretched and rolled.

"Close your eyes and listen to this voice..."

He was still walking forward, his body was cold, and the back of his head was numb.This was an ordinary day, he never thought that he would see this scene in front of him, but some serious feelings had already rushed in front of him, like the wind, the sea and the rain, rushing towards the rocks.

The soldier walked over, and the swordsmen hit the backs of the envoys, but there was no sound. At this moment, he couldn't hear the sound surprisingly, and he also felt that his vision was shaking. He was beaten so that his knees were bent. The emperor stepped onto the high platform, the wind blew his robes, and his fur was flying in the air. With his huge body, he clenched his hands into fists and faced countless soldiers in his field of vision. Beside him was a small mountain of porcelain , gold and silver, treasures.Then, his voice sounded like thunder.

"Dear Jurchen brothers, do you know what these are in front of you—"

……

The wind and rain are overwhelming, and Zhou Tong's master and servant are walking on the road between cities in a foreign land, and the rain is falling from the sky.

Jiang Ning, a girl called Xiaoqi by her family, pushed the old man with white hair, went out to bask in the sun, watched the pedestrians walking by the side of the road outside, the old man spoke occasionally and smiled.

Miao Jiang, a one-armed swordsman named Du Sha swung a knife, and the blood of the enemy splashed on his face. Next to him, his brothers were fighting fiercely with the enemy...

……

"They are the treasures of the Wu Dynasty in the south. Here, there is such a porcelain in front of your eyes. It is worth dozens of guan, hundreds of guan of silver. The most expensive one here, take it away, and you will be able to live comfortably for the rest of your life. ... There is this kind of Hetian sheep fat jade, such a large piece, it can drive many people crazy, and it can be kept at home as a family heirloom, which can be handed down for ten lifetimes... There are paintings and calligraphy from the Tang Dynasty... There are Buddhist scriptures inlaid with gold and silver... There are tributes to the emperor of the Wu Dynasty... There are fine wines that you can't buy even if you have money... Here, there are thousands of things worth hundreds of thousands or millions of guan thing, it's here-"

The wind blew across the high platform, and the emperor opened his hands in the wind: "You guys! Do you want it or not!"

……

Hangzhou, a city that has gone through wars, has been rebuilt. The awning boats rowed across the peaceful waterways. In the prosperous market, vendors shouted loudly. Pedestrians and business travelers came and went between the city gates, bustling and lively...

In a yard, two green forest men fought quickly. One of them was sent flying, spitting out blood, and the other raised his hand: "Assassinate the heart demon, I will take the lead, who else is not convinced?"

Li Pin walked through the path of the mountain village, and when fetching water by the stream, he picked up the mud and sand in the water and smelled it in his nose.He likes the fresh smell.

Looking up, in the mountain village below, the scene of farmers coming and going can be vaguely seen. The sky is just right, and the rice is golden and is about to ripen.

……

"You should want it!" Wu Qimai's voice echoed over Huining, "Everyone should want good things! I want them too! But, I don't want to give them alms—"

"My Jurchen! Since the first emperor's rebellion, we have fought from the white mountains and black waters. In just ten years, we have swept the entire Liao Kingdom! Once the world of the Liao people, all their good things belonged to us! This world! This world Aren’t there more curiosities than here!? These things, what are they—”

Amidst the roar, he grabbed a huge porcelain shelf next to him and swung it violently. The shelf flew up in the air, and countless porcelains flew up, and smashed down the high platform like a hill. It was smashed into pieces in front of my eyes, and several Jin Guo officials who were kneeling in front of me were directly knocked down inside, their heads bleeding...

……

In the fan building, the handsome scholars are shaking their fans and reciting poems and fus.Shi Shi smiled while playing the piano, while looking at these people in front of him, outside the window, the heat had faded, and the leaves were about to turn yellow.

Well, it's autumn again.Sometimes when I think about it, the warbler flies and the grass grows, another year has passed...

To the north, another convoy of goods entered Luliang Mountain. Hongti stood on the gate of the built village, looking at the passing merchants.

Zhou Bangyan poured tea in the hut to entertain the guests.Song Yongping was surveying around a valley with a military book in hand, and several county government soldiers followed him boredly.

In Ning Mansion, Xiao Chan clutched her stomach and let out a loud cry.All of a sudden, the entire Ning Mansion was in chaos...

……

There was a rumbling sound of things being broken, followed by boxes containing gold and silver, and those golden and precious things flew into the sky and fell into the huge charcoal stove, and the wind and fire rose.

"Porcelain! What—"

"Gold and silver! What—"

"Calligraphy and painting! What are you—"

"Haven't you seen these things! No! You have all seen them! When you walked across the mountains and rivers of the Liao Kingdom, when you rushed into the cities of the Liao people, and when you rushed into the palace of the Liao people, you have all seen them. Many of you have taken them back home, you have everything! The entire Liao Kingdom belongs to us—"

"We are the snow bears in the ice field, and the wolf kings in the forest! We Jurchens, as long as we gather together, no one in the world can beat us. We brought what we wanted openly! We won the entire Liao Kingdom , including these people kneeling below, they used to be your brothers, they used to get all the things they wanted! You know why they kneel here! Because when they saw these things they wanted, they started Receiving charity! They are like dogs, receiving charity from the Wu Dynasty people, and then they have to lobby and do things for the Wu Dynasty people—"

"They're not Jurchens anymore, they're dogs—"

The wind was roaring, the flames were rising, and under the high platform, countless hill-like treasures were shattering, smashed into pieces, melted into golden water, and burned to ashes.The huge emperor rushed across the stage like a demon god, throwing that priceless thing to destruction with one hand...

……

In the south of the Yangtze River, next to the official road in and out of the county, Wang Shanyue sat in a tea shop, watching the traders coming and going, showing a bored smile.

In the small dark room, Chengzhou Haigui was always looking at the information at hand, and occasionally entered useful information into the small notebook beside him, calculating the Yinren's steps and success rate.

Shi Jin threw the troublesome and drunken man out the door, then turned around and drank his corner of the wine.Pedestrians on the street looked at the man on the ground and were taken aback, then walked past and went about their own business.Only then did Shi Jin's younger brothers rush forward, punching and kicking him.

In Grand Master's Mansion, Cai Jing wrote a good picture and waited for himself to dry in the autumn wind, then sat there and told the housekeeper beside him: "This picture is not bad, I will frame it later."

The sun shone in, and the autumn wind stroked the paper. On the wet ink marks in the corners, there was this handwriting:... the virtuous younger brother of the Yazhihui.

In the fragrance of ink, there is a slight fragrance of tea and books, which is the demeanor of a gentleman.

……

"The envoys of the Wu Dynasty turned them into dogs! They brought so many things, after all, they are afraid of us! They are afraid that we will beat them, but are we going to beat them? We didn't—"

"For a long time, we have regarded the Wu Dynasty as a country of brothers, and we have regarded them as brothers! But what did these brothers do! They beat the Liao people, they did not work hard! After the fight, they jumped around in the dark , They are like hateful rats! They instigated Zhang Jue's rebellion, and they took in the remnants of the Liao Kingdom! They are in our place, sending money everywhere, giving bribes, and corrupting my subjects! They are digging my flesh, and they are alienating yours! Brother! And these people below are the guys who have been transformed from humans into dogs!"

"They! Live in the warmest place! They have the best mountains and rivers, and countless good things! It's a pity that they are not human! They are dogs! They only have intrigue, never have sharp teeth and claws! We Jurchens, treat Have brothers ever been stingy? We Jurchens, have we ever been stingy with our friends? They had no achievements in the Liao Kingdom. We defeated them, and then gave them things! Let them be happy and boast , but looking back, they want to stab you with knives! They stabbed knives into my subjects! They destroyed all of your brothers—”

"But it's okay—" Wu Qimai opened his hands, and rolled up the sleeves of his robe in the wind and fire, "They came over and told us what they have, they have so many, such good things. And I can see that you want it, haha, but we don’t want the dog feeders on the table. But there are countless things, and there are ten times, a hundred times and a thousand times more good things, all in the south—”

……

In the south of the land, beyond the Yanmen Pass, there is the warmest land, the best water and soil, and the most suitable sunshine and weather.They nourish the people on this land year after year, giving them the best cradle for survival and reproduction.

For thousands of years, they have built a great and splendid civilization here from generation to generation. They will also experience wars, but soon, they will gather again and recast order.Today, more than 200 years of large-scale wars have passed here. Between the heavy mountains and green waters, cities and villages are full of peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. As soon as they went out, the shops in the city opened up, the craftsmen drank hot porridge and rice, and picked up the tools for carrying out work. The officers and soldiers guarded the city gate while chatting and inspecting the passing merchants.The boatman propped up the oars by the river, and the fishermen set up sailboats on the seashore to start their day's work. Their families shook their arms on the beach, the sound of the suona sounded, and the welcoming procession passed the Qingshi Banqiao. The bride in the sedan chair was happy and nervous. waiting for another life to come.The smoke and clouds curled up in the Buddhist temple, and the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were doing exercises to cultivate their health. On the cliff with green trees, the huge Buddha head carved by the stonemasons began to gradually reveal their clues.

This is a world where thousands of lives and countless treasures gather...

In the mansion at the turning point of Langyuan, a new life was being born. It opened its eyes and let out its first loud cry.The mother felt joy in the great pain. Some people clasped their hands together and burst into tears...

……

Everything fell down like a hill.

"Since they are dogs, since they reminded us, and since you really want it, then we—let's take it in a dignified manner! Today, let these courtiers from the Wu Dynasty sacrifice the flag for me—"

Xu Zerun's thoughts had already sunk down, and gradually came up again, he could already guess what the other party was going to do, blurred light and shadow, floating thoughts, the soul was torn apart on both sides of the body.At some point, he had already stood up, rushed out, yelled to rush to the figure on the high platform, he didn't know what he was cursing, but someone had already stopped him under the high platform——

"Don't stop him, let him come up, let me—show you—"

"Fun Lord, the hundreds of millions of subjects of my Wu Dynasty will definitely..."

They watched as the figure rushed up the high platform and slammed into Wu Qimai, but the giant bear-like emperor grabbed him with one hand, and then blasted him on the hill-like ceramic ruins with his backhand.He punched down with two punches, the body was twisted, he pulled the person up again, stepped on his foot, tore off the opponent's arm, blood gushed out, and after three booms, the giant bear smashed the whole person It was torn apart abruptly, and the plasma sprayed on the huge Wang Qi flagpole, and also sprayed his entire body.

"Long live the Jurchen—" The roar of the giant bear swept across the sky. In the response that shook the earth like thunder, countless sword lights fell, and countless blood gushed out. Under the autumn sky, the emperor licked the blood and opened his mouth. big hand, "We—"

His voice is as thick as a devil: "Let's go to war——"

Clouds, sweeping over.
