Chapter 227 [How difficult the road ahead is]

————————————

Who says good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.

In fact, good things can also spread quickly, and they can spread throughout the city in just one cup of tea.

The premise is that something is true, it is inspiring enough to make people unable to help but run around and tell them, and even wish they could put wings to tell their relatives and friends the first time.

As long as you have this weight, the enthusiasm and energy of the people can be completely stimulated, and it is no problem to have a thousand miles in an instant.

The imperial sign at Caishikou, Dongcheng, was like a fuse at a glance. There were more than fifty other bombs connected with it. After one was ignited, it would quickly detonate other blasting points. When more than fifty blasting points broke out, the huge Xiangyang City was completely out of control. The strange story of taking scholars in the imperial examination was like the morning glow in the sky, and it was immediately heard of hundreds of thousands of people and the soldiers in Jingzhou, which made them deafening and didn't know what to do.

The most bizarre thing is that in the Palace Palace,, oh no, there are two imperial lists posted on the left and right walls in front of the Southern Han Palace Palace, attracting many civil and military officials to watch. Unlike other places, the imperial list in front of the Palace Palace does not have a detailed interpretation of the well-dressed "Mr.", because most of the people who are qualified to enter and exit the Palace are literate and need no explanation from others, they can understand it with a glance.

As for those who were illiterate, they were probably the iron-armored soldiers standing in front of the palace gate. The imperial list was close to them, but they turned a blind eye. During the night patrol, they turned back and forth in front of the imperial list for more than ten times, but they didn't find anything wrong with the notice. On the contrary, after dawn, they saw that the imperial list was covered with a jade seal, so four armored soldiers spontaneously stood on both sides of the imperial list. They were afraid that some guy who was interested in seeing the money would take a look at the yellow silk nailed to the wall and secretly tear it off and take it away, so they stood beside them to protect the imperial list, thereby maintaining the supreme majesty of the royal edict.

Unexpectedly, when the officials went to court, they immediately discovered the imperial list posted outside the palace gate. They were surprised and thought to themselves: "When will the emperor's edict be changed to public announcement? Why didn't they hear any news? It's such a strange thing!" Driven by curiosity, the officials stepped forward to watch together. After seeing the contents of the edict, the chief assistant Kuai Liang and the general Cai Mao were in tune with each other and took action. They slapped the four soldiers standing next to the emperor's edict twice, causing bleeding from the corners of the mouths. Their cheeks instantly expanded and fermented, and they bulged up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and four flesh and blood buns were alive.

The four soldiers who were beaten for no reason were very aggrieved, their faces were full of resentment, and their fists were clenched, but they didn't dare to fight back. They originally thought that the two military and political chiefs should have explained why they beat people after being beaten, but they expected that Kuai Liang and Cai Mao turned around and left after they beat people, without any explanation at all.

"I'm too bullying! I'm a great guardian. How could you beat me and scold me if you want to fight me!" The backs of Kuai Liang and Cai Mao who were leaving with anger were fiercely staring at the backs of the two soldiers. The four soldiers were angry and began to curse. But they didn't dare to make a sound, so they could only curse silently. After all, their arms could not twist their thighs. How dare they offend the two chief ministers in person, unless they were too tired of living.

Seeing Kuai Liang and Cai Mao left, the officials naturally did not dare to stop. They looked back and looked at the imperial list on the wall one by one, thinking about it. They walked into the palace gate with great worries. At this time, the military advisor Pang Tong, who stayed at the last, stepped forward slowly. However, his eyes were fixed on the imperial list without blinking. After a while, he said in a deep voice to the four soldiers who were still guarding the left and right: "You open your eyes and take a look at this imperial list carefully, and see who did you do on duty last night?"

When the soldiers heard this, they turned their heads and opened their eyes wide and saw from the bottom, but they didn't see anything wrong. So they looked back at Pang Tong with a blank expression. One of the soldiers' eyes happened to meet Pang Tong's eyes in the air. In an instant, Pang Tong was completely defeated by his innocent and aggrieved gaze. He couldn't get up in one breath, and his lungs were about to burst, and he wanted to hit the wall with his head.

"After a long time, it turns out that the four of them are illiterate!" Pang Tong asked the sky speechlessly, then walked up indignantly, tore off the imperial list on the wall, then rolled it up and stuffed it into his sleeve. Before leaving, he noticed that the four soldiers stared at the imperial list on the screen in shock. Pang Tong said to them earnestly: "If you don't study in a private school, you should still read and read. Otherwise, when you are beheaded in the future, you still don't know how you died!"

Seeing Pang Tong speaking, his face was very kind, one of the handsome men, who looked very handsome, quickly replied respectfully: "Young people must remember the teachings of the military teacher and will definitely learn more in the future."

Pang Tong was very pleased when he heard this. Finally, there was another wise man. He nodded immediately and said, "You can teach me, learn hard, and don't happen today again." After saying that, Pang Tong raised his leg and left.

When the military officer saw Pang Tong leaving, he respectfully said: "The military advisor walked slowly. To be honest, the small ones knew some words, and there were sixteen words on the imperial list, and the small ones knew all the small ones."

"Uh!" Pang Tong was surprised when he heard the sound, and his mind suddenly became blank. At this time, his left foot stepped on a round stone, and he staggered a few steps away, almost falling to the ground.

Pang Tong finally stood firm, and his cheeks suddenly turned into pig liver color. Then he turned his head and gritted his teeth in anger, "Summer insects can't speak of ice! I'm so angry?" He was so embarrassed to say it only when he knew the sixteen words. It was too shameless!

With indignation, Pang Tong no longer wanted to say anything more to them, and immediately forced his heart-wrenching left foot into the palace gate step by step. Obviously, the sprained left ankle just now, causing him to make a fool of himself in public, no wonder he would be angry. If he had not been from a scholarly family, very well-educated and self-relied, he might have ordered the four soldiers to be dragged down and beheaded on the spot.

?In the court, the morning court is still starting step by step.

First, the Prime Minister Kuai Liang reported on the recent emergencies encountered by the counties and counties under the Southern Dynasty, such as the spring epidemics of the three counties in Jingnan, the drought in Fancheng under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Yin, and the Xinye area. After Kuai Liang finished reporting, it was General Cai Mao's turn to report on the relevant situation of the troops in Jingzhou. It was still the same thing. For example, the soldiers and horses of various battalions are actively practicing, and the navy also needs to add some nonsense such as warships and armor and the border peace. The old tune is long and the bullets are always said so every time, without any novelty.

It is worth mentioning that since Li Li of Xiliang ascended the throne and became emperor, Cai Mao was promoted from his original general to a general, and he was in charge of the three armies of the Southern Han Dynasty. His power and momentum were so strong that he had no one in Jingzhou. He became a powerful minister above ten thousand people in the Southern Dynasty, and his status was still above the Kuai brothers.

At the same time, after Liu Biao ascended the throne, he expanded the scale of the inner palace. Each county selected a large number of young and beautiful young girls to fill the inner courtyard. So far, although the backyard of the Southern Han emperor was not as good as three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand beauties, it had already exceeded one thousand. As long as he walked into the inner palace, he could see palace maids dressed up everywhere. Every time Liu Biao went to court, he was always surrounded by beautiful people. Liu Biao was in the middle, just like an old man with a group of granddaughters. He was truly outstanding and eye-catching.

Fortunately, Liu Biao is somewhat self-controlled and knows that he is old. If he indulges in his lust, he will die on the woman's belly one day. Therefore, in the past year, he has been quite diligent in handling government affairs, and often asks about some of the situations in the army, and is quite wise. Even so, Liu Biao's physical condition is too good, and his spirit is declining day by day. Even if he sits up to the court, he seems to be ineffective and drowsy. It is particularly eye-catching that he doesn't know.

From when did Liu Biao's eyes have dark circles around his sockets, and his eye sockets were deep. At first, it was just a little gray, but now it has become as dark as ink, which is very conspicuous. What followed was that Liu Biao's vision became worse and worse. It was very difficult to review and review the simplified scripts. The eunuch often needed to read out the contents on the bamboo slips, and then he could approve a few words in the blank space. The words were written very much. It was obvious on the font that his hands were trembling when he wrote, resulting in wavy patterns on the font.

These signs indicate that Liu Biao is really old and the future of the Southern Han Dynasty is worrying. What is most worrying is that Liu Biao, who is nearly 70 years old, is still not restrained. Although he does not sing every night, there are always sounds of drums and zithers in the inner courtyard every now and then, and there are also the harsh laughter of the palace concubines.

Not long ago, Pang Tong encountered once, and saw Liu Biao lying almost half naked in the arms of two palace concubines, squinting his eyes to watch the nearly naked dancers swaying. The dance posture was unbearable and was extremely provocative. For this reason, Pang Tong was deeply worried about the future prospects of the Southern Han Dynasty. He often couldn't sleep all night and thought about countermeasures, but he had no idea and could not do anything.

Originally, the eldest son Liu Qi was the most ideal heir to the throne, but Liu Qi was not old but had already been hollowed out by alcohol. He couldn't even straighten his waist when walking, his steps were light, and his legs became weak. A young man in his twenties had two dark circles every day, and the dizziness on his eyes was even worse than his. A discerning person could tell at a glance that he died prematurely and his life would not last forever. If he indulged himself like this, he might still walk in front of Liu Biao. A white-haired person gave him a black-haired person.

In the morning court, for some reason, all officials did not mention the imperial edict issued by the Western Jin emperor. Perhaps they guessed that Liu Biao had known it a long time ago. Since Liu Biao himself was unwilling to mention it, they would not be so bad that they could not know it.

The Regal is unpredictable. No one will take risks with their own wealth and life. It is better to let things go.
