Vol 2 Chapter 6: Human Heart (continued)

"Not only that, there is one more thing." Zhang Jun stopped by the empty government office road, glanced at the government office not far behind him, and looked down at the intersection where the crowd gathered hundreds of steps away. Shaking his head seriously. "Do you know that Han Shizhong had a waiter who was looking for me this morning?"

   Liu Ziyu immediately nodded: "Just now when the Xiantai found me, he told me that, fortunately Han Shizhong had not asked the attendant to mention the summoned last night, otherwise the Xiantai would be closed today."

   "Then do you know what the attendant said to me?"

   "Please enlighten me from Xiantai." Under the bright sun in the morning, Liu Ziyu somewhat dissipated his previous grievances.

"The attendant told me that Taiwei Han had heard that the officials were suffering, and the people below would pay tribute to them, so they must give them out as rewards, so that they don’t even have anything to use on their sides, and sometimes they only light candles at night. Click on one... and then he captured some in front of him. He wanted to use it as a tribute, but he was afraid that the officials would not use it, so he asked me how to deal with it?"

   "It must have been seen with my own eyes last night." Liu Ziyu suddenly realized what Zhang Jun said before, and then sighed again. "I have been with me for many days, and I have heard some sayings, but unexpectedly the officials are really so miserable..."

   "It's not just suffering." Zhang Jun became more helpless. "Yan Xiu, your vision really needs to be higher... During the national crisis, who is not clear about the suffering? Walking here, half a year can not pay salary, many people drag their families with their mouths, and treat Jiang Lai as a treasure before arriving in Huainan. Isn’t it a pity that you, Liu Ziyu, has just settled down with your family, and you came from the southeast and traveled thousands of miles. Isn’t that punishing? I just ask you, why don’t you feel pity?"

   "My father hangs himself in the national disaster, my second brother and his family are walking slowly, my wife and three sons all died in the chaos, the country hates the family, how can you care about the suffering?" Liu Ziyu almost blurted out.

   "Aren't the officials hated by the country and the family?" Zhang Jun sighed again.

Liu Ziyu looked around and saw a team of imperial squads walking away with straight armoured sabers. He frowned slightly: "Does the heaven also have this friendship? What's more, there is also the strange thing about falling into the well. I heard that the official family has since then, There are few who are moved by things in the north, and do not rescue the two saints, just as if they are at odds with their father and brother."

   "Does the Southeast come from this way?" Zhang Deyuan paused obviously.

   "Before the great victory of Shouzhou, there were quite a few such words spreading, and then there were a lot of them, but they were spread on the good side. After all, in the southeast, what good reputation can Ersheng have?"

   "That's fine." Zhang Deyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Everyone knows its practice here. The official language is indeed quite disrespectful to the two saints. Previously, it was not allowed to negotiate with the Jinren, and it was not allowed to talk about the return of the two saints before the restoration of the two rivers. A few days on the road, I even said that the disaster of Jingkang lies in the fact that the two sages descended from the world... Such an attitude, this kind of language in the southeast is also common. But Yan Xiu, think about it, if there is no resentment in the heart, why is this? And since there is grievance, it still cares how much. It's just that the official caring is not necessarily just a certain person."

   "This makes some sense." Liu Ziyu also took a deep breath. "Jingkang's change is an unheard of shame, and the officials have resentment and hatred, and it is also common... However, is it not a good thing that the officials have such aspirations?"

   "It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing." Zhang Jun shook his head repeatedly. "This is the key to what I want to say. In my opinion, it is right for officials to concentrate on reviving and reviving shame, but if there is only one idea of ​​reviving shame, what if you don't think about the rest? You Liu Ziyu hates the country. , Don’t care about relatives, family members and old friends in your hometown? A few days ago, Jianzhou broke out, don’t you still ask me about related matters? You are in ministers, who don’t want to have higher ranks? This is Lu Xianggong, who has always been courteous and peaceful. He heard that Li Xianggong was not here before. Didn't he follow the boat and recognize Nanyang? But what about the officials?"

   "The official..."

"Lu Xianggong told me that the officials were extremely selfish before and after they fell into the well... But in my opinion, the officials are undoubtedly selfish before they fall into the well. It's hard to tell whether public and private are united." Zhang Jun said sternly. "One piece of evidence is that since the officials went down the well, they were determined to resist the rejuvenation of gold, and wealth, treasures, women, and even personal lives were all left behind."

   "Yes." Liu Ziyu was also thoughtful. "It's like Li Boji and Li Duke are now in the southeast, and the southeast said that he had troubles, because the official entrusted the emperor and empress to him. As a courtier, what else can he do besides doing his best? But on the other hand, which one? The emperor will entrust a courtier with the faint abolition of power and responsibility, isn't it to fight against gold? But..."

   "But how can a twenty-year-old man be able to stand this behavior?" Zhang Jun finally said what he really wanted to express. "The official family is too tired... Before, Li Xianggong was like a puppet at the time, and he was too stretched when fighting in Shouzhou, but once he went west, he was nervous and worried that he could not do it well. You must know, when you and I were 20, how could you ever be able to bear the world? On the shoulders?"

   "But the official family is the emperor after all."

   "The emperor is also a human, and the emperor today just wandered freely before the age of twenty." Zhang Jun became more helpless. "You people, you only think that he is the emperor, think he should be a sage, but you don’t treat him as a person... A strong person will ask him to do woodcarving, and a veteran will think that he is too reckless to resist gold. Lie asked him to take care of the overall situation, and then recklessly thought of making him wise and martial. As everyone knows, if you just blindly do this, the emperor will not be stretched in the future, and he will return to the old Nanjing (Shangqiu) appearance, and he will choose the woman in the clothes. , You are trying to avoid the battle again, what can you do? Do you want to push up the king of Wuma Mountain in the north or the emperor heir who has only been in Yangzhou for a few months? Can Han Liangchen and Zhang Boying agree?!"

   Liu Ziyu frowned slightly, as if not wanting to get involved in this topic, but had to ask: "So, let me stay and enrich the center?"

   "Otherwise?" Zhang Jun smiled helplessly. "In the current situation, as a courtier, you can't choose a concubine for the official family, and persuade the official family to pay less attention to state affairs and get more sunshine? The only thing you can do is to recommend talents as much as possible and let people like Yanxiu stay in the government. By the side of the family, I help the officials make plans, so that there are fewer twists and turns when the officials do things..."

   Liu Ziyu sighed aloud, as if he had been persuaded, but still couldn't help feeling suffocated slightly.

   "No matter what, if the safety and security of today are actually tied to this person, the stability of the officialdom will ensure the stability of the world!" Zhang Jun said painstakingly. "Why don't I want to go out to be in charge and do something big? But at least I have to wait until the official house is completely settled down and there are regulations, right?"

   Liu Ziyu heard this, so he could only nod his head and stop saying more.

Besides, Zhang Jun’s remarks are mostly conjectured by himself, and as a private official, the so-called confidant of the so-called civil servants has a position that is biased towards the official. It is Liu Ziyu that although he has had an excellent friendship with him these days, But he didn't completely believe in him.

However, there is one sentence Zhang Deyuan said that broke the key, that is, the officials who have traveled westward after the Shouzhou victory are obviously a little uneasy, obviously some do not know what to do... This is natural, because Zhao Jiu has never been serious. Once a serious official, I don't know how to be an official.

When I came over, I was immediately isolated by a few people and finally broke away from the restraints. I just sat there and waited for Li Gang. Li Gang came to be a puppet. After Li Gang got sick, he was squeezed to the extreme, so he went to break the can and ran to the Huai. Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun fought a battle... The battle was won, and the official Zhao also took his heart. It was logical to say that he should be an official. However, when the road was not smooth, Nanyang could not land, and everyone did not think about the instructor. Doing things; Secondly, the Shouzhou War gave Zhao officials a little bit of color, and not everyone had the courage to teach him to be an official, so he has this impetuous status quo.

   And this is also an important reason why Zhao Guanjia had been confused before and left Wanyan Yinshu Ke. He seemed to believe that the ‘serious thing’ of the anti-gold is only fighting, so he was a little pleased to hear about the enemy.

Going back to the present, Zhao Guan’s family may be dull, or because of being in the game, but did not think so much. On the contrary, he slept in a dark and sweet sleep until the afternoon, and he first received a good news. Then I was cheered up-without him, Tokyo stayed behind, the Deputy Marshal of the World Army Marshal's Mansion, and the Secret Envoy Zongze played again, and the content of the memorial was exciting.

In this note, Grandpa Zong said very clearly that Huazhou was completely regained by him, and Qingzhou and Weizhou on Jingdong East Road were definitely abandoned by the Jinren. Now a man named Li Cheng is in possession of it... In short, Jinrenda A large-scale withdrawal is a foregone conclusion. As long as the Zhao official family is well-preserved and securely occupy the city, there is no need to worry about the perfection of the silver technique. The latter may continue to attack, but if it cannot succeed, it will inevitably go north.

   Of course, at the end of the letter, I can’t help asking once again about Zhao Guan’s house, is he coming to Tokyo?

Not mentioning the important information in the first half, only the politeness in the latter words, almost made Zhao Jiu weep... You must know that it has been more than half a year since I passed through, except for the time when Li Gang was in power in the middle. He, the official Zhao, issued twelve invitation letters, all for him to settle down in the old capital, one every half month on average.

And the previous eleven ones were all about national justice and loyalty and filial piety. It was also “the great unification of the ancestors is difficult to complete”, and “the two saints have built a small palace, and the official family has come to live in the old palace.” Every sentence They are poking someone's backbone accurately, and moral kidnapping is so slippery that it is difficult for Zhao Guanjia to explain. In addition, there are so many soldiers and horses in Tokyo, and how many grains there are. They are waiting for the official family to rectify the six divisions to cross the Hebei expedition!

   This time, with such a polite invitation, it was really the first time Zhao Guan's family met.

This shows what? This shows that after the First World War in Shouzhou, after Zhao Guan’s swift and desperate action, all the way to Ruyang, the current first commander who is now stationed in Tokyo just north of Tokyo finally began to trust him a little bit!

   The only problem is the face, so I'm still stubbing my neck to continue the invitation. Of course, as a 70-year-old person, Tsundere is completely understandable.

All in all, this spring in the second year of Jianyan, for the entire world, the Kingdom of Jin further prospered and expanded, while the Song Dynasty further languished and lost control... After all, Jingdong Lianglu, Jingxi, and Guanxi were swept away, causing extensive damage to soldiers and generals. Scholars and people from all over the country went south, and the city storage was looted. At the same time, several cities in Hebei that persisted in the War of Resistance against Japan were continuously being uprooted.

   However, if only talking about Zhao Guanjia and Xingzai, although there are still some waves at the moment, the general situation is still good.

This is mainly because the soldiers and horses have been collected, and the hearts of the people have been gathered to a certain extent, and according to the remarks of Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, and Liu Ziyu, as long as they are properly dealt with, Wanyan Yinshu is not a big problem here, so stand up by then. Nanyang is also visible to the naked eye.

   A stable companion is self-evident about the meaning of walking up and down.

The situation in the next few days is also roughly the same. Not to mention the ups and downs in the periphery, just to say that they are here. With the Zhao official’s sent out to pacify the staff, many broken soldiers, bandits, and rebels in Caizhou surrendered, and then Unified accepted the act of Zhaoan.

   Among them, although the movement of silver art is unknown, Han Shizhong did not rush to start a unified reorganization, but seeing the map change from an enemy domain to its own border, everyone's sense of security has been significantly improved.

After another day or two, even Tangzhou and Yingchang Mansion had good news. Although the various independent armed forces there did not come up to agree, they really did not refuse, as Liu Ziyu said. The reason, but mostly hesitate to wait and see. Come to think of it, as Han Shizhong and Wang De hurriedly lead their troops into the other place, perhaps they should also make up their minds.

However, on this day, on the eighth morning of March, Zhao Guanjia was playing chess with Liu Ziyu, a newcomer, while discussing the matter of'Tuanjuan', but suddenly saw an unexpected courtier~www.novelmt.com~Chen Hanlin Scholar Lin Jingmo has seen the official family! "Scholer Kobayashi was panting, with a pale face. He was introduced by Lan Gui, the resident of the Ministry of Internal Attorney, but he bowed his head to face the official as soon as he saw the official, and said something quite shocking. "The minister walked to the Tang Dynasty. Zhou Biyang received the message that Fan Zhixu was frightened in Nanyang, and recently took the initiative to ask the monk Zongyin who was stationed in Wuguan to go out and rescue him. As a result, Zhao Zongyin led thousands of soldiers out of the gate and was killed by a gold army in the northwest of Nanyang. The partial teacher easily defeated, Zhao Zongyin convicted himself very guilty, did not return to Wuguan, did not go to Nanyang, but fled to Xiangyang to go to Fan Qiong! Nine out of ten times in Wuguan, it has fallen! "

   Under the eaves of the house, Zhao Jiu was silent for a while while pinching a chess piece, but he didn't get angry.

   "So...Nanyang is not guaranteed?" Liu Ziyu, who had already gotten up to avoid Bachelor Kobayashi, blurted out. "Because this time the Jinren can safely take Nanyang, and then return to Kansai from Wuguan calmly."

   Zhao Jiu still didn't speak, but was a little weak...what could he say?

   Han Shizhong, Zong Ze, Liu Ziyu, and even himself and the others in the line did their best. The panting Bachelor Kobayashi was even more willing to take risks before. However, he still couldn't stand a monk who was a demon. .

   "Officials!" Kobayashi hesitated for a moment, but he managed to speak again. "Liu Yan went to Ruzhou in the north to look for Taiwei Han... He told me to come back and must tell the official, be careful not to go to Nanyang, but will take advantage of the situation to fetch Ruyang! Because the golden man has a back road in the west. The previous arrangements to cut off the Jinjun’s retreat at Ruzhou and Yingchang Mansion in the north were cumbersome."

   The Zhao official family suddenly looked up, but there was not much panic: "I, I see."
