Chapter 5: The Belly Sword
[No pop-ups.]
At this moment, everyone was stunned
The one who can't believe his ears the most is Himeno Taira Since the eldest brother can come Naturally, after getting the news of Junshan's accident, he also wants to make a contribution to the fight against Dongchang He has won the true legend of Sanssouci and has been called invincible in Jiangnan over the years The first thing he did when he appeared here today was to bow down to the other party and surrender himself
"Big brother" he hissed, "Are you crazy?"
This sound made people feel like the back of their heads were being knocked on the back of the head The eldest grandson Xiaochi knelt in place and didn't look back, and didn't pay attention to it, and said to Guo Shu Ronghua: "Juhao Pavilion can have today, I single-handedly planned and operated it, and those who followed and joined were also instigated by me, and all the blame should be borne by me Uncle Yan has been away from the pavilion for many years, and I don't know about our rebellion Chu Yuan and several other senior brothers have been in seclusion for many years, and they don't know about it, and I hope that the governor will open up to them As for Himenodaira and the other brothers."
"Big brother" Ji Yeping shook his arms and said sharply: "How can we have brothers, do you know that You Lao is dead, Yan Lao is dead, Long Ye is dead, Brother Zhu and Brother Jiang are also dead, Shen Lu died in Jingshi, and the bodies of the other brothers are lying here, lying on those boats, their bodies are not hard, and the blood is not cold, who did this, it is Dongchang, it is Guo Shu Ronghua, you want to take the blame for us, who will pay for their blood?"
"What" Yan Linyuan was shocked and said: "My father and Lao Long are also ......" A breath of cold air was drawn into his throat and he couldn't help coughing again Yan Shumei hurriedly went over to support him
The eldest grandson Xiaochi was also obviously shocked, and then his back froze there, motionless, and the whole person was like a bucket tablet Himenopaira couldn't see his expression, but it seemed to be able to see his heart, and a pair of dragons couldn't stop the tears rolling in their eyes: "Big brother, I understand what you mean, but it's not necessary...... Today is today, it's rare for you to come, the heroic souls of the brothers are not far away, this last one, let's go lively."
"Amitabha"
With a Buddha horn, the big sleeves of the big man on the hill fluttered and landed on the starboard side, he glanced at the twitching Lu Huangqiao at his feet, sighed slightly, and said forward: "Everyone, don't be impatient, please listen to the old man."
Ji Ye Ping said angrily: "Bald donkey, what kind of cold fart are you coming out to put again" Yan Linyuan hurriedly pressed his forearm Ji Yeping hurriedly said: "Uncle Yan, you don't know that when you were in Junshan, this bald donkey and that miscellaneous hair" Yan Linyuan said: "Stop, people haven't finished a sentence yet, how can you make such a mistake Lu Lao swordsman is confused is old Although the people on the hill often walk with him, they don't necessarily know right and wrong like him."
As if he was spitted with phlegm, the man on the hill closed his eyes tightly, slowly opened them again, nodded slightly to Yan Linyuan, and said: "Yan Dajian, the old man heard that there was a slogan in the Juhao Pavilion, saying that it was 'Juhao roared out of the south of the Yangtze River, punished corruption, eliminated evil, and divided the good land', may I ask if there is a mistake?"
Yan Linyuan said: "The Venerable Master remembered well, this is also the consistent purpose of Juhao Pavilion."
The man on the hill said: "The theory of dividing the fertile land is supposed to be due to the dissatisfaction caused by the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in various places who wantonly enclose land in the name of dedication."
Yan Linyuan said: "Exactly"
"In fact, the temple property of Shaolin has also been occupied by some people, and it has become more and more intense in recent years.
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Before, he said that Shangjing received the letter of the Zheng League, and he dared to have no hidden intentions, but I am afraid that this matter is more important Yes, the Shaolin faction does not fall He is the predecessor of the Zheng League, if he has something to do, how can he be invited with a letter It is too faceless He is obviously going to do his own business, but he uses the letter of the Zheng Leaguemaster as a reason This seems to accommodate the juniors and gives the Zheng Mengzhu a lot of face "Although he despises his cunning, he knows in his heart that this is mostly the truth However, at such a moment, he said these words It's a little confusing
I saw a man on the hill: "Lao Gu has been in contact with many parties in Beijing, and he has also had a meeting with the leader of the Hundred Swords League, and this matter has been mentioned in the conversation, Zheng Mengzhu is deeply worried, and has put forward some ideas and plans for land inventory and redistribution, and discussed with the old man, Lao Gu thinks that his plan is relatively mild, and the harm to the people is also small, in fact, this punishment of corruption and evil is not only the appeal of Juhao Pavilion, but also the appeal of the country and the people, it can be seen that the hero sees the same way, and the avenue can always be unified."
He glanced at Guo Shuronghua's side: "Governor, everyone, the imperial court sent troops south to quell the chaos for the sake of national stability, social well-being, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
As he spoke, he turned his face to Ji and Yan: "In the later period of Sejong, he also wanted to rise and fall However, he was old and heavy, and he was unable to do anything Last year, the emperor first ascended to the throne and was about to make a difference, but the two important ministers he relied on were framed and besieged by the traitorous party, and he was forced to go to the office one after another The times are difficult, and good talents are hard to find, and the situation must be stabilized Now he has overcome all difficulties and tried his best to overcome public opinion, and resolutely issued an order to open the sea It can be seen that the imperial court decree is harmonious It can also be seen that the people's sufferings can be dealt with and responded accordingly I believe that things such as cleaning up and rectifying officialdom can also be gradually implemented It just takes a little time As the people of the Ming Dynasty, we should also understand the difficulties of the country Seeing Himenodaira open his mouth, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling him to listen to him finish his words
"In the old man's view, everyone has their own position, but the purpose is surprisingly the same, just because they are walking on different paths, which leads to many differences and conflicts, and it is really sad to see many people with lofty ideals shed blood and sacrifice for this, and the old man thinks that the collusion with foreign rebellions and other things have not been investigated, and it is not good to make a conviction conclusion, but now the master of the Changsun Pavilion has a lofty vision, and he is willing to bow his head and confess his guilt, which is really a good start for the two sides to understand each other and reach a consensus The deceased is gone, and everything has to look forward Why don't you put aside violence and prejudices and come up with some rationality It also gives each other a chance to get to know each other and communicate with each other."
The last few words of Juhao Pavilion people are not good to listen to Even Zeng Shiquan on the side of the East Factory rolled his eyes slightly and knew in his heart: The mistakes of Boss Cao and Lu Liang brought a heavy blow to the factory Even the Governor was slightly injured But the East Factory has finally been in control of the initiative So he did not push these martial arts people led by the people on the hill to the front of the stage The appearance of the eldest grandson Xiaochi brought variables to the situation At this time, Xiaoshan should naturally go to the court Before making a move, it doesn't matter if he said a few words and put gold on his face But if you want to say that Juhao Pavilion has not been investigated for colluding with foreign rebellions, it is a bit subtle This is obviously a hidden threat He and Lu Huangqiao have personally met Tenzin Chilie and Yan Lingyun in Junshan Yu knows a lot about the five-party talks If you stand up and find out the inside information, then Dongchang will undoubtedly be suspected of fishing law enforcement Juhao Pavilion is indeed going to be reversed After one more thing, it will change from "rebellion" to "rebellion" to sympathy The spread of the shock of the government and the opposition will inevitably hurt the dignity of the factory
Thinking that the situation might deteriorate in this direction He couldn't help but feel a slight void in his heart: the matter of placing the officer in Shaolin before was given to him by the bus As usual This matter does not need to be carefully instructed It should be carefully selected after the completion of this major event Handle it slowly and properly But I have made up for it and want to pursue efficiency Second, some people around me have seen the ugliness of their defeat in Junshan It is really an eyesore So I shaved their heads and hurriedly arranged the past Now that I think about it, this thing is indeed a bit abrupt It may make the people on the hill very uncomfortable Don't look at this old thing, it's not very good, but it's not small, he always puts on a martial arts master's posture, and treats himself as a big dish He is already guilty If this move really caused his disgust, it broke out at this time and affected the situation Afterwards, the governor inquired It was a big deal
I saw that after the man on the hill said this, he didn't look at the reaction of the governor and Himeno Ping, but looked up the boat and said: "Here and now, when the title of the marquis is the highest and the closest to the emperor, the marquis has gone through the Datong military battle, and for the state affairs, he did not hesitate to protest and compete with the cabinet ministers on the top of Wanshou Mountain, a patriotic heart can be learned from heaven and man, because the Hou Ye has a lot of movement at the bottom, has a wide range of contacts, and also quite a lot of facts from all walks of life, and is even more familiar with the political propositions of the sword family, I don't know if the old monk just said whether the Hou Ye agrees."
Chang Sihao was stunned when he heard this, and felt that the situation suddenly became a little complicated
First of all, the words of the people on the hill are equivalent to a wake-up call to themselves, because the five-party talks are empty, and they are very clear that if they grasp this point, they may be able to force Guo Shu Ronghua to make certain compromises and concessions, but this premise seems to be how to make good use of their identity The people on the hill finally deliberately asked for their own opinions, and mentioned the word knighthood in the words The intention is not insignificant
Juhao Pavilion was born from the White Lotus Sect And the White Lotus Sect's suppressed feud was formed during the reign of King Sejong Jiajing Now that the earth has been changed, he has added the intention to emphasize these The intention is also obvious Juhao Pavilion has repeatedly pleaded for the people's lives If you keep this hatred in mind, it is equivalent to using the people as a guise to vent personal grievances That is not the mind of the Juhao people So in the face of this, they would rather keep silent than actively argue Dongchang also has concerns about the design of the five-party talks So the words of the people on the hill are equivalent to taking the two families His purpose is most likely really to promote peace talks
However, like Lu Huangqiao, many things done by the people on the hill are obviously in cooperation with the East Factory, even if they are not controlled, at least they are entangled in interests, and from past experience, this sudden move he made may be due to the design of the East Factory, which may contain some kind of trap Now that his injuries have not healed, Xiaoqing may also be in the hands of the East Factory, and for various considerations, the choice of action must not be careless
And then again, if he really wants to stop the two sides, then he should have stood up and spoken long before the two sides made a move, instead of waiting until now, the Qin family had an accident first, then the Hundred Swords Alliance, and now it is Juhao Pavilion, and the Shaolin and Wudang factions have not fallen for many years, maybe what they have been waiting for is such an opportunity, when the three major forces in the rivers and lakes have suffered heavy losses, and then stand up again, with the attitude of a capable person and the principal, be a balancer between the rivers and lakes and officialdom, and a great hero to save the martial arts, and then rejuvenate Wudang, reshape Shaolin, and restore the bull's ear of the world
The scene of the secret meeting in the Baita Temple, at the banquet in Dongchang and in Taoyuan is like in front of me, although I am a little disrespectful to the monks, but judging from the behavior of this great monk, I really can't think too much
But if you think about it carefully, if this is the case, the situation is going in a good direction, because whether he is out of justice or selfishness, he always wants to drag Juhao Pavilion out of the Jedi, and the biggest problem is on Himenohaira's side, asking him to give up revenge, how is it possible
When he hesitated and pondered, Qin Juexiang beside him laughed first and said: "What is the Venerable Master's words, Juhao Pavilion colluded with foreign clans, and engaged in five-party talks This matter is known to the whole world, and there are all human and material evidence, is there any doubt in your place With your identity, if you suspect it, there must be evidence Dongchang has always used facts to handle cases If you have any objections, you can submit a question on the spot Today, the Hou Ye is here, and the Duke is also There are many friends from the Jianghu Martial Arts Road on the ship Although it happens that the water is even dark, it is not a blue sky and a white day, but so many pairs of eyes With so many mouths, how can you tell the length of a male or female?"
Chang Sihao understands that he is pushing things down Because as soon as these words come out, the choice of the people on the hill is whether they stand up and expose or retreat The battle between Dongchang and Juhao Pavilion is always inevitable And losing both sides is the ending that Jue Xiang is most happy to see As for the scandal, whether it is exposed or not, it is the business of Dongchang It has nothing to do with him, the person from Nanzhen Fusi, If you insist on finding something to do with it, it can only be said that when Dongchang falls into passivity, there will inevitably be the current official who takes the blame and resigns At this time, the vacant position gives the newcomer the opportunity to come to power Maybe this is the meaning behind Cheng Lian'an's smile
Thinking of this, Chang Sihao suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little crazy, it can't be that these two children would really have the ambition to take control of Dongchang and replace Guo Shu Ronghua
I saw that after listening to Qin Juexiang's words, the white eyebrows locked deeply, and he stared at himself again It seemed to be wondering whether Juexiang's words were due to his own instructions Ji Yeping, Changsun Xiaochi, Chu Yuan, He Xi, Hu Feng, Yan Shumei and others also turned their eyes to the shipbuilding Facing these gazes, for a while, the thoughts that were stirred in his chest had no time to be sorted out Chang Sihao pressed the armrests with his palms and slowly stood up
His body grew up, his head was already up to his shoulders when he sat upright, and his height was almost close to the eaves rafters after standing upright, and he was even more majestic and majestic against the backdrop of Cheng Lian'an and Qin Juexiang's two small bodies, but people could see that his originally chestnut face was a gray that had lost its bloodcolor at the moment, and his eyes also looked a little haggard and dull
If it was something else, Himenopi would have already ignored it But after all, this matter involves the reputation of the Juhao people He was angry Looking at Chang Sihao's face at this moment, he thought of the shot he stabbed him His breath suddenly became quiet and deep
After his eyes slowly turned around on everyone's faces, Chang Sihao opened his mouth in a deep voice: "Today, all sides have arrived, and all people are coming, I know that you are not giving in vain, you all have their own scheming, each has its own calculations," he nodded, and glanced at everyone's faces again as if confirmed, "You are all smart people, and I" He poked his fingers twice in his chest, and the railing leaned forward: "I, Chang Sihao, am a rough man, a muddy person, on the officialdom, on the rivers and lakes, these accounts of right and wrong, grievances and grievances, I will not count anything."
The people were stunned, and the soldiers looked at each other, and there was obviously a question in their eyes: "What is this called?"
Chang Sihao swept over everyone and continued: "Compared with your minds, my head is a piece of charcoal, but since I asked, I will tell you In my opinion, it doesn't matter at all whether Juhao Pavilion colluded with foreigners and rebelled or not, it doesn't matter who gave the power of Dongchang, whether it is reasonable or not, which of you loves to confess and who pleads guilty, who loves to catch thieves, who loves to rebel and who rebels, no matter what you want to maintain, what you want to overthrow, and what you want to rebuild, it doesn't matter."
"Before, I once asked my most beloved brother Chen Shengyi: What is the country, but he didn't give me an answer."
"But after contacting Zheng Meng, I understand"
"At this moment, it doesn't matter to me what the answer is, now I just want to say one thing."
At this point, he stared at the crowd and was silent for a long time, then he held out a finger and pointed high up at the sky
"Peace, stability, and prosperity in any form in any country in this world should not be based on disregard for and harm to human life, liberty, dignity, and honor, otherwise it would not be worthy of being a true nation, let alone a home."
In the silence, Chang Sihao stared at the people and poked his finger down: "I know that many people look down on me as a marquis To tell the truth, I am a child of a peasant family, and I can't say any good words, and I can't give anyone a wise decision, I'm standing here now, just one person, just like all of you, the most ordinary member in the world, I think there are some things I know, and everyone must know in their hearts: what we love has never been the high imperial power, nor the bureaucrats who rely on the imperial power to rule the people, but ourselves, our wives and children, and the young. It is the old friends and relatives It is the hoe and the fence, the hot kang and the rice, the well in the courtyard The ditch in front of the door The Yangtze River is the Yellow River It is the hot land of nostalgia under our feet, it is the Chinese Shenzhou that can endure 3,000 years of slash-and-burn cultivation and always feed us with food It carries the glory of our ancestors, the life of the present and the hope of the future It was here in the past, is here now, and will always be here It is eternal and immortal The country is just a shell on it It has never been its true soul and face The country is built for us It should be a fortress for us to shelter from the wind and rain instead of smashing us down Listen to our ** If the scales here lose their balance, justice is not served, and existence is full of suffering, then this shell should be taken off This unworthy name of the Ming We would rather not, we resolutely do not "
