Volume 1 The Dusty North (9)
In fact, it was already noisy outside, dozens of people were huddled in the small courtyard outside the main hall, and Ping Pong put down the things they had put down. Jurchen dialect, Khitan dialect, Chinese dialect, all kinds of accents are noisy, but it teaches people to listen to the head.
The chaos was helpless, but I heard a few Jurchens scolding loudly, a few whips to go down, but everyone still couldn't stop, after the chaos was half a sound, but I heard someone coughing a few times in front of the courtyard gate, but no one dared to make a sound.
The original noise and shouting immediately became silent. A great sense of coercion enveloped everyone's hearts.
Shen Tuo put on his shoes and socks and greeted the door, but saw several Jurchen men guarding a thin old man and slowly walking towards the door.
As soon as those Jurchens saw Shen Tuo, they shouted loudly in Jurchen words. Shen Tuo had been in the Five Kingdoms City for a long time, and knew that this was for him to salute, so he stretched out his hands and bowed.
He was bending over, but he was held up by two strong hands. When he looked up, he saw the old man smiling slightly, although his face was full of wrinkles, this smile was bright, but his eyes were bright and confident. But I heard him say in Chinese: "It doesn't have to be like this. ”
Seeing Shen Tuo staring at him, the old man smiled again and said to Shen Tuo: "But I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and the emperor doesn't know the old man anymore?" ”
Shen Tuo didn't know who he was, and responded vaguely at the moment: "Now I'm just fainting, and the emperor can't afford it when he says it." ”
The old man shook his head lightly, looked into Shen Tuo's eyes, and said, "Others don't think you are the emperor, but how are you yourself, is the son really unbearable?" ”
He was still an amiable old man, but he was a little angry at this time, but his eyes were like electricity, piercing Shen Tuo's heart, making him dare not look at him.
I couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so I had to mutter: "Those who abandon me will not stay yesterday; Those who disturb my heart are troubled today. The past is gone, so what is there to say. ”
The old man said, "I am sixty-five years old, and I have been in power for decades and have been the leader of the tribe. To be extremely fierce, to be the master of the capital, to lead the soldiers, to kill and take away, how happy! Now that I am old and ambitious, anyone who wants to take my power away from me unless I turn me into a corpse, and the emperor is really so depressed at such a young age? ”
Shen Tuo pondered the other party's intentions, and said: "The kingdom destroyed my homeland and captured my father and son, although I was demoted to the common people, now the north and south of the Yellow River are owned by the big countries, and my father and son are also prisoners of Chu, even if they are unwilling, what can they do?" If you are dissatisfied, it is better to look up to sanctification and be a subject of a great country with peace of mind. Don't you hear A Douyun: I am happy here, and I don't think about it. ”
His words, in response to the other party, showed that he was indeed unwilling in his heart, but he also made it clear that he had already stated his intentions, saying that he realized that the Jin country was strong and was willing to obey the people.
Before the other party could respond, Shen Tuo said again: "It would be better if I could move to Shangjing and get along with you day and night." ”
Based on the performance of Zhao Heng's father and son in the city of Tokyo, these words are also reasonable, which is completely in line with Zhao Heng's thoughts. The old man was relieved and a little disappointed, and only said: "Since the emperor is here, he can rest for a long time." I heard that when you were in the Five Kingdoms City, you were very weak, and there were days when you couldn't get out of bed, didn't say a word, and even committed suicide. In the world of life, there is no major event except death, you can dare to die, what else is there to be afraid of? Haha, relax, stay here for a few days, and in a few days I'll teach someone to pick you up to watch the game. ”
After he said that, he got up, Shen Tuo hurriedly stood up and sent him off, but he said again: "I sent someone to send some family antiques, as well as some books, pens and inkstones, your father and son both love these things, I have gained a lot, but it is useless to put them at home, send some to you." ”
Shen Tuo hurriedly thanked him, but the old man didn't take it to heart, and waved his hand again and again, asking Shen Tuo not to send him off, and then left.
As soon as he went out, Shen Tuo had not yet come out, but he saw several officials dressed in Song official uniforms rushing out of the wing room in the courtyard and bowing to him.
Shen Tuo hurriedly said: "You can't be like this, this place is the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and I am just a heavy wait for the canonization of the gold lord, so I don't deserve such a big gift." ”
After that, he flashed to the side in a hurry, refusing to be a big gift to others.
He did this, but the officials did not pay any attention, only kowtowed a few more times on the spot, and then stood up.
One of them, Shen Tuo recognized, when he just transferred his soul, the symptoms seemed to be seriously ill, difficult to turn around, the Jin people thought that they would not be able to afford it, and sent several Song ministers to visit, and the one who looked back in front of him was one of the visitors that day, the original Shangshu Ding Fu of the Great Song Dynasty.
used to be a monarch and minister, so naturally there is no need to be too polite. Shen Tuo knew that he wanted to keep his head down, but he also knew that abnormality was a demon, and he was too modest, which made people see that it was not.
At that moment, he threw off his robe, sat down in the room first, and picked up the tea to drink.
Ding Fu entered a few times, but he made a gesture to Shen Tuo before he stood on the left and right.
Shen Tuo asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Ding Fu is nearly seventy years old and has become old, at this time, he saw Shen Tuo holding a big bowl in his hand, drinking tea like a farmer, but he was overwhelmed with grief, and his two small eyes blinked a few times, and a few old tears were dropped.
Shen Tuoqi said: "Sir, what's the matter? ”
Ding Fu cried: "The incompetence of the ministers has made Your Majesty so aggrieved. Live in this humble house, and use this utensing. ”
Shen Tuo couldn't cry or laugh, put down the tea bowl, and said, "I heard that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom also drinks tea like this." Besides, the tea leaves in the north are precious, and when I was in the Five Kingdoms City, I couldn't get tea if I wanted to, so why should you be sad because of this little thing. ”
Speaking of which, this Ding Fu is a secretary of the military department, does not cultivate martial arts, has no skills to defend the country, when the Jin soldiers are in the city, it is the Tokyo scoundrel Guo Jing recommended by this person, claiming that he can summon the heavenly soldiers with the magic of Liujia to defeat the enemy, but the heavenly soldiers did not come, and the golden soldiers fell into the city, and robbed the old man's whole family, women and property, and captured him alone in the capital, because of his high status, but he never treated him badly, and let him run and serve in the marshal's mansion, which is equivalent to a high-level staff.
This person is like this, and the knowledge of the rest of the officials shows that Shen Tuo really didn't pay attention to these incompetent, useless and unintentional people.
At the moment, he only comforted a few words, and he also knew that this Ding Fu was taking this opportunity to cry about his own situation. After he stopped, Shen Tuo asked again: "This time, I came just to see how to play, and I didn't have much to do." How can it be so solemn, but it is also strange. ”
Ding Fu stepped forward, leaned into Shen Tuo's ear, and said in a low voice: "Marshal Shicai didn't tell His Majesty clearly?" ”
Shen Tuo's eyelids jumped, and only then did he know where the Jurchen old man was sacred. This person is not amazing, but he is the brother of Wanyan Aguta, the uncle of Jin Taizong, and the marshal of the Jin people who destroyed the Song Dynasty. is high and powerful, under one person, above ten thousand people. has such a status, but it is no wonder that everyone is so afraid of coming at this time.
His heart was shocked, but he just nodded and said, "I didn't mention anything serious, I just asked about some small things in life." ”
Ding Fu's face was still full of mystery, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, Your Majesty has a great happy event!" ”
Shen Tuo just shook his head and replied, "I am in such a situation, what other happy events can I have?" ”
Ding Fu said: "His Royal Highness King Kang ignored the two saints in the north hunt, and actually built himself to be the emperor. Jin people up and down, very angry. In addition, this person appointed Li Gang as the governor of the government, and Zong Ze knew Kaifeng Mansion, and the whole army was armed, and he actually had to fight against the heavenly soldiers of the kingdom. Because of this, the whole country of Jin was very angry. Everyone said that since King Kang acted like this, why not let His Majesty go back, clean up the hearts of the people, and straighten out the official government, as long as he is a vassal to the kingdom, pays tribute every year, and guards the southern frontier forever, he is much stronger than King Kang. ”
Seeing that Shen Tuo was silent with a blank face, he thought he was stunned with joy, so he said again: "The Jin people have been discussing this matter for a long time, but they can't make a sudden decision. Moreover, those who supported this matter were Xianye, Zong Bi and others, and Na Zong Han, Xipan, Zong Bi and others were opposed. The two sides were at loggerheads, and the Emperor of the Jin State could not decide. According to the minister's opinion, if His Majesty sends a letter to the gold master, he is willing to serve the father with his son, and recognize the gold master as his father, from generation to generation, forever as a domain. In this way, this great thing will definitely be done! ”
Shen Tuo was furious in his heart, and he just wanted to kick this shameless man to death with a heartwarming foot. These people read poetry and books, regard themselves as saints and disciples, and only hold official salaries on weekdays, and suffer and harm their surnames, which is fine. It is really contemptible that he should do this in the big matter of national contention in this country, thinking only about his own interests.
But although I hated it in my heart, I also knew that I should never act like this. I had to hold back the resentment in my heart and said to him: "This matter is important, I have to think about it more, it's late today, and I ask you to come back early." ”
That Ding Fu originally thought that Shen Tuo would definitely move as soon as he said it, but he didn't expect him to reply like this, and he was stunned for a moment, but he had to say: "Since this is the case, then the ministers will retire first." ”
He walked backwards and said, "Your Majesty makes a quick decision, and I am afraid that there will be changes later!" ”
The rest of the officials, Shen Tuo couldn't fully understand it, but they were obviously as knowledgeable as Ding Fu, and they all shouted with him: "Your Majesty will break early, Your Majesty will break early!" ”
Shen Tuo couldn't cry or laugh, but just waved his hand again and again, telling them to leave quickly.
When these shameless people retreated, Shen Tuo couldn't help but hesitate. If this is the case, after he goes back, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly.
