Chapter 56 Nothing has changed

‘Mr. Junshi is in the imperial capital and is also an internal minister. He has been appointed as a member of the Huangmen Pavilion in just a few years. This is a miracle in the world. What’s even more difficult is that Junshi relies on real talents and knowledge. I still feel that I am very polite when I read many edicts, which makes me admire you!”

Sima Guang smiled calmly and said, "Compared with the Huangmen Pavilion, the young son prefers to guard the land of a state and a county, and he is plagued by documents. The words are all about the people and corn. After carefully handling the official business, he feels calm and peaceful. Then he buys a pot of light wine in a wild shop, with one or two wild vegetables and a bowl of light rice to fill his stomach, read at night with candles at night, and pursues the saint's subtle words and righteousness. This is the day that the king really yearns for.

Isn’t it a pleasure to talk about mulberry and hemp with old farmers, to old women, to old women, to talk about mulberry and silkworms with young children?”

Yun Zheng laughed and said, "But only made Tianxiang's red sleeves bitter!"

Zhang Fangping and Sima Guang burst into laughter. Zhang Fangping pointed at Yun Zheng and said, "As a general, can't you change your tired and careless nature?"

Sima Guang smiled and said, "Brother Yun has such a wonderful personality. He is like a fish under lotus leaves, willows in the wind and rain, and birds in the snow. Without these pictures, it would be a bit rigid."

Yun Zheng picked up the wine glass and drank Sima Guang and said, "I used to think you are Mr. Donghan, with a stern face in front of the person and a stern face behind the person. He will always be a square face. Walking only on the road. Even if you are burning, you must take into account the etiquette of scholars. There is no difference between the wind, rain and swords and swords for you."

Sima Guang sighed and said, "A gentleman, you only need to have a gully in your heart, and your appearance is like a skin sac that follows the flow."

Zhang Fangping smiled and said, "You are really powerful and difficult to reach? Life is just like this. There are always some vicissitudes left to us after the prosperity has fallen. Let's live. If one day I feel unbearable, I might as well write down these resentment with a giant pen, it will be a big article."

Sima Guang put down his wine glass heavily and said, "I just felt sad when I saw Your Majesty struggling to survive for the subjects of the Song Dynasty. As a minister, I could not replace him with the king and father. I also admired the famous mountains in Shu. Seeing Brother Yun's free and easy life, I felt that I wanted to stay away from the court and express my love to the mountains and rivers."

Zhang Fangping laughed and said, "The mountains and rivers in Shu that Junshi saw were really good at seeing the free and easy Yun Zheng. The tiger lying on the deserted hills was just to prepare for the next fight. He never calmed down one day. There was only prey in the eyes of the tiger. His eyes were fixed on Dali Kingdom and Tubo, and he wanted to tear off a piece of meat from others at any time. Where did the free and easy intention come from?'

Sima Guang bowed in unison and said, "The general is the bravest army for the three armies for our Great Song Gancheng. In recent years, the eastern expeditions and northern expeditions have set a stable frontier for our Great Song Dynasty. The king of the king has long wanted to say hard work!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand and smiled, "Unlike you, you are enjoying hard work in the desk, but I am enjoying fighting on the battlefield!

How many times did Yun dream about the middle of the night? He looked at the bright moon in the painting. He heard the sound of a tricky fight, and wished he could start fighting again immediately! He just wanted to kill all the powerful enemies in the world, and only by being tired from the enemy's corpse could he fall into a dream."

Sima Guang picked up the wine glass and toasted Yun Zheng and said, "Then let's say that I'll handle trivial matters at the yellow gate. You can open the border and expand the territory. If you and I still have your life in twenty years, you might as well make a reservation!"

Zhang Fangping said with emotion: "It takes twenty years to see a person clearly. What I said makes me sad. Twenty years later, you are still in my prime, and my corpse may have turned into ashes..."

Peaches can't get drunk, but they made Zhang Fangping feel a little drunk. I don't know what he remembered. He staggered and prepared to leave with the help of his old servant. Before leaving, he bowed and said, "I can't drink well, so I'll say goodbye. I'll go far tomorrow. I won't send it. I'll leave once more. I'll leave once more. When I'm old, I don't like separation..."

Sima Guang said, "I dare not trouble the elders to see you off."

After the two returned to sit back, Sima Guang poured a glass of wine for Yun Zheng and said, "I went to the capital. Even if I had been in a state of turmoil for twenty years, there would always be a ox cart dragging me to wander in the countryside. Brother Yun will be the most powerful minister in twenty years. Where will he go?"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "The ocean is wider than the earth, and the sky is wider than the ocean. My heart is enough to cover the sky. Yun Zheng is a tiger, and a shark in the sea. After there is no prey on the earth, I will go to the Changhai to hang whales. Without giant whales in the Changhai, I will throw myself into the endless starry sky..."

Sima Guang burst into tears and said, "It is true that Brother Yun is very heroic, but it is always sad to have a real man to such a state."

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Pang Ji, Han Qi underestimated me, Yun Zheng too much. My career in the officialdom was purely accidental. Their character was discovered by them. Why, now I am worried that the tiger will retaliate? They are too villainous.

Junshi, after you go back, tell Han Qi, let him open his eyes and watch, I am a tiger when I go up the mountain, and a dragon when I go down the sea. There is a monarch on the land, but there is a land without a border in the sea. I can be king on the land and become a legend in the sea.

Tell him, don’t go into the sea in the future, I will wait for him in the sea..."

After saying these words, Yun Zheng drank all the wine in his glass and bowed to his goodbye. It was already the moon in the middle, and under the moonlight, the stars were sparse...

At dawn, Sima Guang left, and no one was alarmed. Only the old clan leader got up very early and ordered people to open the village gate and watch the high official from the capital leave quietly. The war horses quickly walked up the mountainside and gradually became obscured by light fog...

The grassland is green again. The cattle and sheep that were not seen last year have been sprinkled over the grassland again. Women and children in thick old sheepskin drive the huge flock of sheep through the hillside, as if a cloud was spreading across the hillside.

There are still some white bones in the grass. The Tubo people don’t care. It is not uncommon to see dead bones on the grassland. Some are killed, and some are left by the old and weak who were abandoned by their tribesmen...

Living is a luxury, especially for those of them. Regardless of whether the peace in front of them is real or not, at least they have cattle and sheep to graz.

The woman held the child and sat on the back of the yak, moving with the movement of the cattle and sheep. They were always passive, and the cattle and sheep were the owners here.

Zhao Hao, a young royal family member, has now become a standard plateau cavalry. The wind blows through his dark face, and he is carefully distinguishing the countless information brought by the wind.

Langlige once said that if an excellent cavalry cannot understand the wind, it is not a qualified cavalry. On the grassland, only the wind is omnipresent. They will bring about everything that has happened in the distance and eventually turn into some tiny smells and spread into the nose of the cavalry.

The wind today is very soft and a little cold, but there is still some blood mixed in the fresh air.

Zhao Hao waved his hand gently, and the fifty cavalry ran forward with him against the wind. He had no time to pay attention to Danzhu's youngest son's shouting. He felt that something seemed to have happened ahead.

This feeling needs to be cultivated. He can't tell if there are wild wolves in front of him by sniffing the air, but he can still smell the thin smell of blood.

After the cavalry ran for a cup of tea, they went up to a gentle slope. There should be a large farmhouse below the gentle slope, but at this time, the farmhouse was as quiet as death.

Zhao Hao waved his hand, and a cavalry raised the horn hanging under his neck and blew it up. After three consecutive sounds, he took the cavalry to take a scattered line and slowly approached the farm with his powerful crossbow.

No one came out of the farm, but the newly built valley ground was terrible. Six Song people were tied to wooden stakes, and each of them had a wooden pin nailed to their chests. Blood flowed all over the ground under their feet, and the blood had solidified and turned black.

A cavalry jumped off the war horse and stepped on the blood on the ground with his feet. Then he looked at the corpse tied to the wooden stake and turned to Zhao Hao and said, "The team leader, he has been dead all night."

Zhao Hao looked at the quiet farmhouses and ordered his subordinates to investigate. He used his spear to pull the dead people, carefully looked at the face of the dead body and said: "The one who died was the manager of Heyisheng Shang. The leather armor on these guards was stripped off. If the Tubo people in the farm were gone, 80% of them would be Tubo serfs rebelled. This is the sixth killing of the master this year."

After a cavalry explored the farm, he smiled and said, "Another incident of serf rebellion, team general, we can only pursue those serfs now. The serfs who are eligible to be recognized are easy to recognize. They have fire marks on their faces and cannot be hidden."

Zhao Hao sighed and said, "Leave it to fate. Such things are inevitable. If you are too oppressed, such things will always happen. However, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, these serfs are still dead.

There are no horses in Heyisheng Farm. They can’t walk far, and a night is not enough to run out of this area. We divide our troops into three groups to chase and suppress them!”

Zhao Hao's arrangement was a bit redundant. After the Tubo serfs killed their master, the only place they would go to was Daxue Mountain. This was the case with the first five murders reported. As long as the cavalry chased the Daxue Mountain, they could always find them. Zhao Hao divided his troops into three groups for the sake of foolproof.

The Great Snow Mountain is just west, looking very close, but it is actually very far away. It takes three days for the horse to reach it, so Zhao Hao believes that those people can't escape.

Zhao Hao didn't know what was behind the snowy mountain, but those Tubo people liked to regard it as their last place.

The terrain is gentle nearby. The rivers formed after the snow-capped mountains melt are covered with grasslands. The land is fertile enough and is the best farmland land, so most of the farmlands are located here.

After two hours of the war horse galloping, Zhao Hao saw a series of Tubo people trekking hard on the grassland. If the free Tubo people on the grassland had no cattle and sheep around, they would definitely be escaped slaves.

The sound of trumpets sounded again, and three cavalrymen in the same direction quickly chased the Tubo people. The Tubo people who found the traces of cavalry became panicked. The strong Tubo people abandoned the old, weak, women and children, jumped into the cold river, and wanted to cross the river and escape. (To be continued)
