Chapter 1272 Since the first sight of the peach blossom (8)
The wind at night has replaced the heat of the day. Under its blowing over and over again, the hustle and bustle in Fuzhou City gradually subsided, and the government officials repeatedly Patrolling the streets outside the princess's residence, officers in soap coats checked the places where the fighting had occurred and confirmed the damage. Pedestrians on the street talked about today's commotion in twos and threes. And due to the chilly atmosphere, there are occasional small commotions and waves in the streets of the city further away, like sudden explosions of sparks, showing the clues of the poor operation of this big city.
The tired emperor sat in the carriage and gradually returned to the palace. He wanted to rest, but there was also residual excitement and uneasiness in his mind. The child of the little Chan girl many years ago was now in the city. , brought him memories of the past and the message of a huge figure. At this time, he was driving a small sampan through the huge waves. He didn't know how he would explain this period many years later. journey.
Behind the princess mansion, the little Zhou Fuyang was waving her hands and talking to her aunt sitting on the recliner. She was making childish gestures, holding a candy bar, and opened her mouth "Ah woo" He wanted to stuff it inside, but of course that small mouth couldn't do such a thing. The stupid little girl and the aunt on the chair both laughed. Soon after, Zhou Pei rubbed his forehead and began to teach the other girl patiently. You shouldn't do this kind of thing, it will make your mouth look ugly. And Zhao Xiaosong walked in and whispered in her ear that a certain demon king had been placed.
Tun Yun walked in the dimness of the city, feeling the richness and harmony of the breath in his body, recalling the battle just now when he faced thousands of pursuing soldiers. Occasionally fighting such a tough battle can make him feel the boiling of his blood and the strength of his martial arts - after Zhou Tong's death, when the old people from all over the world were scattered, he was stronger than ever - of course before, He didn't care and never admired such a tough fight, but this night, his heroic appearance must have been imprinted into the heart of the lewd young man.
Soon, he would return to Jiuxian Mountain and talk about the meeting with the other party in an understatement. He doesn't need to state his strength to the other party. Anyone who sees the killings around the Princess Mansion tonight will understand all this. As for how to trust and communicate with the lewd young man, this is the matter of the little girl Chen Shuangran. Tun Yun understood that after learning that the young man might kill the princess's house again and again and still not die, This frivolous little crazy woman has already been tempted.
This crazy woman is not a good match. Under her seemingly passable skin, she is already rotten to the core and is worse than a prostitute who has been in a brothel for many years. Tun Yun, a master who has loved playing with women all his life, has no interest in her. He knew that this woman was probably interested in the boy and had some kind of perverted and twisted mentality. If she really took the bait, she would probably be as pitiful as the stupid Cao Jinlong, but it didn't matter. Men can only grow up after being hurt by women. With my own care, I can let the young man see the reality of the world and teach him some principles of life.
——These principles are very precious. They only come once or twice in a lifetime. It hurts people to the point of bone marrow but also makes them grow. It is better to understand them late than to understand them early.
The world is full of people, and as he gets older, he also begins to envy undeveloped children.
Of course, what he didn't know was: Ning Ji was already dirty in this regard.
The night breeze gradually blew away the pedestrians on the street. When it passed by, the curfew bell rang in the city. After a brief period of peace and rest, some places gradually woke up again.
Early morning.
Li Pin had already woken up, and Luo Shouwei, who slept with him, also woke up at almost the same time. She helped him put on his clothes, and then asked the maid to bring in the face wash.
"...Today is a big event."
"I know." Luo Shouwei buttoned the buttons for him.
Li Pin reached out and shook the back of the other person's hand: "We might start a fight."
"Yeah." Luo Shouwei hugged him by tying the belt, then turned around and twisted the washcloth for him.
This is a way that the two of them are already familiar with each other. There is an ambiguous tacit understanding and warmth in the purity. Luo Shouwei is a female Taoist priest of the same line. She has the hatred between her father and brother in her heart, and she also admires Li Pin's talent and learning. However, she also has her own personality. When getting along with Li Pin, the two occasionally have conflicts and quarrels. Luo Shouwei loves to be sulky. , but Li Pin is not one to coax others, which often leads to cold wars between the two.
In fact, Li Pin many years ago was actually a very harmonious person. When he was in Jiangning, he was able to make friends with Ning Yi and other literary talents of various shapes and temperaments. However, after staying in Taiyuan, the weight of family and country gradually changed some of his temperament, and he deliberately let go of many of the details that could be called literati elegance, especially after Xiao Canghe broke up with Ning Yi. , a lot of pressure is actually tormenting him in the dark. Not many people understand that sometimes focusing on his surroundings and family will make him feel a huge sense of guilt.
The Xiongnu are not destroyed, why do they want to be home?
Whether such a character is good or bad, outsiders cannot comment. In fact, Luo Shouwei may understand Li Pin's character. She occasionally gets angry, and the two of them occasionally separate, but there will always be some reason for them to "have no choice" again. The ground touches together. Just like staying by his side to protect his safety this time, Luo Shouwei came over without saying much. The two often slept together and occasionally had quite intimate behaviors. Many times, Luo Shouwei also helped Li Pin take care of his seriously ill person. In her opinion, it is not a big deal for the first wife to perform the concubine ceremony. Both of them have more important things to do.
The guards arranged by the imperial court had also gathered in the courtyard. Soon after, the carriage left the academy and headed towards the newspaper office where work had begun.
The night outside the car curtain was a quiet blue-grey sky. Li Pin looked outside for a while: "What happened at the Princess's mansion last night? Did anyone go over to ask about it later?"
"The fuss was a bit big, but Zhao Xiaosong was mysterious and replied with two words: No problem. But the more accurate news is that it was indeed Tun Yun who took action."
"It seems that the situation is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words..." Li Pin sighed, "The Princess Mansion has been attacked two or three times. , The thieves are rampant. No one can control this swallowing cloud?"
"He has excellent light skills and can fight and escape. It is really difficult to deal with."
"Yes."
Li Pin nodded, then took out a box from under the seat of the carriage and took out The objects inside were carefully inspected and charged with gunpowder. This is a firecracker that Cheng Zhouhai brought over from Ning Yi and gave it to him.
“Ning Yi has the foresight and experience to deal with the green forest people.” He looked at the fire gun in his hand, and then pressed it under his palm. “I have this thing to defend myself. Even if I encounter any master, It’s not like I have no power to fight back. If that Tun Yun comes to kill you, don’t confront him, just protect yourself.”
Luo Shouwei sat across from him and looked at him: “I have the final say on how to protect people... Mr. Dexin. .”
"Then let me ask you as a man, don't get hurt too much." Li Channel, "...it doesn't look good."
When Li Pin said the first half of the sentence, Luo Shouwei's face softened and she wanted to agree. , after hearing the last part of the sentence, he snorted slightly, turned his head to the side, and looked at the night outside the car curtain.
"...I don't look good on me anyway."
Muttered.
As a green forest man with martial arts skills, Luo Shouwei fought all the way to Fuzhou with the imperial court. Luo Shouwei had scars all over her body. Li Pin actually didn't mind, but this sentence was not said well, and she was a little unhappy.
Li Pin sighed and was too lazy to say anything more.
The carriage became quiet and passed through the darkness. When we arrived at the newspaper office, the first page of the newspaper had already been printed.
When the news came from Lin'an, the rebel forces, who knew that all aspects of the court were in a tight situation, were cheered up. The court discussed it for a day and finally made a decision. This decision has now been printed in writing and is ready to be released in the morning to compete with all the various forces with floating minds. Li Pin checked the newspaper carefully again, then picked out a few packages and ordered his servants: "Send them to the palace."
The messenger rode through the night and rushed to the palace.
In response to the fall of Lin'an again and the devastation of life in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court first sent envoys to persuade and edict the princes of the Fair Party army. At the cost of the imperial court transferring many powers, it appealed to all parties entering the city. Treating the people of Lin'an well, at the same time, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's troops began to send troops north to take in and appease all the people affected by the war.
At the same time, Zhou Junwu issued a self-incriminating edict in the newspaper. Under the tight financial situation of the imperial court, it was unrealistic to immediately recover Lin'an, which was caught in the war, but the imperial court would do its best to resettle all the people who entered the safe zone. In order to support such expenses , from now on, the imperial court will carry out large-scale expenditure reduction measures, and even the regular expenditure of the palace will be reduced to 30% of the original amount. The emperor himself will only eat one meal a day. Until the seagoing fleet returns from the south, the imperial court will immediately send troops north to save all the suffering people of the Wu Dynasty.
In order to maximize the treatment of the people affected by the war, the imperial court has taken a large number of measures, which have been densely recorded in newspapers.
This is an extraordinary, rare and detailed edict...
The newspaper was delivered to the palace.
The work of the newspaper office was still going on over and over under the lights. Li Pin inspected the workshop and began to gather the various managers, repeatedly confirming and optimizing the slogans and slogans that each newspaper needs to use. Slogans, these words will go down layer by layer, fall into the mouths of newsboys, newspaper sellers, storytellers, and finally enter the ears of every recipient.
Some will detect something unusual in these remarks...
Cockcrow.
The trumpet sounded in the Arms Academy, and a large number of students were awakened and began to gather on the playground.
Zuo Wenhuai and Xiao Jingyi walked forward.
“…students and brothers, His Majesty has made decisions regarding Lin’an, and these decisions will be put into effect this morning…And here, what I need to tell you is that your studies , it’s over for now...the exam is coming——"
Zuo Wenhuai raised his hand under the gray sky.
"Everyone gathered here today, your academic time may be long or short. During this period of time in the Armed Forces School, you learn military strategy, war, and the way to serve as an official and a government, but the most important thing is What is it... is that you learn how to be a church Upright people, you are the ones who are learning what it means to 'report to the emperor and save the people'...and then, it is time for us to truly save the people -"
"Dear students, today we are here at the Arms Academy. Among them, you come from different places, you Your family background may be good or bad, but no matter what, you were able to study quietly and have a bite to eat in the past time, but we will all remember that at the same time, there are countless people and countless people like us in this world. people are suffering, they are displaced, their families People were killed... Regarding this matter, we have talked about it, we analyzed the pros and cons, some of us came from Jiangnan, we are filled with indignation, and we also feel the same way, but no matter what, classmates... the time for practice has finally arrived. .”
"Next, we will go to the front line, together with the soldiers of the Wei Army and the Zhenhai Army, and with the compatriots and people, we will eat and live together, and use our abilities to let the most people survive. Let Everyone - can survive -"
"Everyone, the situation in Fujian is not stable. Your Majesty is determined to reform, but those who only have their own interests at heart, profit-seekers, and selfish people do not allow it. They cannot see the huge dangers of a rigid system. They cannot see the great dangers of a rigid system. The catastrophic disaster that will follow the neglect of the people is approaching... The three-hundred-year-old court was in jeopardy without new ideas or new methods. His Majesty could have chosen the simplest way to extend the life of the Wu Dynasty, and work with the original rentiers to maintain an old system that was still surviving... But There is no real truth in those systems and methods People, common people, so Your Majesty wants a new approach. In this new approach, all people in the world are equal. Whether they are squires, landlords, or traffickers and pawns, Your Majesty hopes that they can all live equally...equally, for a long time. Survival..."
"It is not easy for us to walk now, because the innovation has just begun. Many people do not understand it, and many people do not accept it... But things are always like this. We have discussed and said that there must always be awakened people and pioneers. In this matter, His Majesty is counting on us ..."
"Your Majesty is counting on us to put aside the sectarian ideas in our hearts and save the people of this world as much as possible——"
"Your Majesty is counting on us to be able to make people People in this world can really see what is meant by reporting to heaven Your Majesty, I will save the people, what is the real people-"
"Your Majesty hopes that we can break this ice... Everyone, if you rule the world with the scholar-officials, the scholar-officials will become a pool of stagnant water. And only by co-ruling the world with the people of the world can the people of the world disturb it. ——"
"Everyone, His Majesty wants to do this. He wants to have a new atmosphere, he wants to have a country for all eternity, he wants to give power and the possibility of awakening to everyone in this world. Everyone... and he wants us to be role models."
"Everyone, be an example. One day, history and countless people will remember us -"
The curfew has been lifted, and the sky shows the yellow and white colors of the morning, and when birds fly over the city , people from the Military Academy began to line up and leave the city.
The people distributing newspapers began to spread out in all directions, weaving spider webs in the city. Soon after, newsboys were running on the streets, shouting the information in today's newspapers.
Jun Wu took a nap, rubbed his eyes and woke up from his dream. The eunuch in charge handed him the newspaper. Soon after, he climbed up the wall of the palace and overlooked every detail of the city.
In fact, the leaders of all parties in the city, including Chen Shuangran, had already learned of the court's decision and arrangements in the early morning.
The discussion took too long yesterday and there was no morning meeting today. As the leaders of the Confucian ministers, Li Guang, Hu Quan and a few others met in a teahouse in the city. They took different newspapers and read every bit of it. After noticing the unusual frequency of words in the newspaper and the contents of the declaration for the opening of the Armed Forces Academy sent back by the servants, some people sat down in the room, while others started to get up.
"Wolf ambitions..."
"The Zuo family has controlled the way of speech..."
"The people, the people, they are talking openly...These are the four people of the southwest. ——”
“I saw Tu Qiongdiao... Ning Yi wants to exchange blood for Confucianism... Why does Li Pin support——”
Someone walked to the window and looked down at Fuzhou in the early morning.
"It's no wonder that the various wealthy families are dissatisfied..."
"Look, something is going to happen in the city..."
At the newspaper office, Li Pin's carriage left the alley entrance.
The arrows flew and the sound of thunder was heard.
Li Pin reached out and took out the gun and put it on his knees.
Luo Shouwei drew her sword, opened the curtain and walked out.
In front of the field of vision, the swordsmen are coming.
Nine Immortals Mountain.
Chen Shuangran took the newly bought newspaper and read it over.
"Those old guys have no retreat."
..."...Let's fight."
