Chapter 40 Qingming River

The sword is a symbol of authority.

In ancient times, when the Yellow Emperor crusaded against Chiyou, he used the Xuanyuan sword. The Xuanyuan sword is the sword of the royal road, and it is also the majesty of the Yellow Emperor; when Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he used the Tai'a sword, which symbolized the supremacy, the supreme and the noble.

Later, there was the saying of Shang Fang's sword. Shang Fang's sword, where he came, seemed to be the emperor himself.

The purple Microsoft sword, with the name of Zi Weixing, is the sword of imperial power, but unfortunately this emperor doesn't like swords, only pen and ink, and now he wants to give the sword to others.

"Hmph!" Song Huizong flashed a trace of displeasure, isn't it just to give a sword, is it worth making such a fuss!

"I do things, I have my own opinions, I can't wait for more!"

The emperor was furious, and although he was a powerless scholar, the old eunuch retreated.

"Thank you!"

Saying that, Dugu Kang used the soft sword as a trouser belt, pinned it to his waist, there was a spring on it, and he wanted a leather scabbard, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see that there was a soft sword hidden at all.

This time, it is said that it is an envoy to the Song Dynasty, and it is better to visit the mountains and rivers.

Walking on the streets of Bianliang, Dugu Kang experienced the prosperity and happiness of the Great Song Dynasty, and only felt like a paradise on earth.

It is no wonder that the main war faction of the Jin State is ready to move, thinking of going south and occupying the flowers and mountains, just because the Great Song Dynasty is too prosperous, like a fat lamb; but after a war, the prosperity of the entire Bianliang will be gone forever.

Even if the Jin army does not go south, there will be strong grassland clans going south in the future to destroy the prosperity of Bianliang.

"When the gods have dusk, when the heavens and men have five decays, there are no immortal beauties, there is no immortal dynasty, time is like sand, and every qiē will be weathered. Things are like this, how can people be worthy!" Dugu Kang felt sad in his heart.

Beautiful things, towards the disillusionment, always make people sad!

Sooner or later, Bianliang will be ruined, so why not make a note of the prosperity of Bianliang!

Capture this beautiful moment!

The beauty is afraid of aging, so let the painter paint a portrait to record the most beautiful moment, and he also wants to paint the prosperity of Bianliang, even if Bianliang is ruined, look at the painting in the future, you can also remember.

Dugu Kang asked: "In Bianliang City, who has the highest painting skills?"

The guide said: "Naturally, it is the official family of today!"

"Emperor Song is the emperor with the highest painting skills, but among the courtiers, who has the highest painting skills!"

"Zhang Zerui!"

"Zhang Zerui!" Dugu Kang said, "I want to ask him to paint for me!"

Zhang Zeduan is just a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who is not high or low, but later offended people and was dismissed. At this time, he was making a living by selling paintings, and he was living a very hard life with the help of friends. After learning about Dugu Kang's request, he did not hesitate and began to paint.

Zhang Zeduan is a dedicated person, after getting the promise, he began to collect and paint, and spent more than a dozen in a row, but he was still not satisfied!

It wasn't until a month later, when Dugu Kang was about to leave Bianliang, that Zhang Zeduan sent the perfect painting to the door, and in return, Dugu Kang gave him a thousand taels of pen money.

"What is this painting called?" Dugu Kang asked.

"Messenger, you can think of a name!" Zhang Zeduan said. Before, this envoy of the Jin Kingdom came to the door and said that he wanted to paint a picture to record the prosperity of Bianliang. Zhang Zerui nodded and agreed, but he didn't expect that the painting was done, but he hadn't thought of a name yet

"It's better to call it Bianliang Jishi!" Dugu Kang came up with a name for this painting......

"It's not proper!" Zhang Zerui said, "It's better to call it Bianhetu!"

The two of them thought of a lot of names in a row, but they were all inappropriate.

Zhang Zerui said: "Only the painting does not make a appearance, and the painting, calligraphy, and seal should be one." Why don't you ask the official to inscribe the painting and press the seal!"

In the Great Song Dynasty, there is no shortage of talents, and there are many painters.

In the Hanlin Academy, he has been painting for more than ten years, but he is still unknown, and now he has lost his official position. If there is an official inscription, there is a private seal of the official. At that time, his fame soared, and the pen fee was also raised by a few grades, and his life was better.

Dugu Kang nodded.

When parting, Dugu Kang made a request to Song Huizong!

Song Huizong only hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Song Huizong said: "This painting is painted near the Qingming Festival, and it symbolizes the prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty, the government is Qingming, and the people are happy. ”

After finishing speaking, he wrote a poem on it and pressed his personal seal on it.

Dugu Kang said to himself: "Good man! No wonder my father is embarrassed to fight the Song Dynasty." Such an emperor asks for money for money, and grain for food, at most he complains, and such a neighbor is difficult to find for ten thousand years. When you meet such a neighbor, you can't find an excuse to beat someone. If you force your hands to do it regardless of your face, you will feel guilty in your heart!"

The Liao State is a fierce god and evil spirit, and when the Liao State is raised, there is no sense of guilt;

However, the Song Dynasty was extremely well-behaved, sent money, food, and things, and was extremely respectful to the Jin Kingdom, and could not find the slightest excuse for beating such a neighbor; if they insisted on finding a reason to attack by force, they would feel uneasy and guilty!

............

embarked on the way home, went back and forth, and half a year passed.

At this time, the remnants of the Liao State were also exterminated, and the Liao State completely entered the coffin, and was nailed with several iron nails, and could no longer climb out of the coffin. In the fierce battle, the Jin army also suffered a lot of losses, the soldiers were tired and needed to rest, and the entire Dajin temporarily stopped the war.

And some of the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom also began to enjoy the fruits of war, fiefs, gold and silver, slaves, and women. In the past, in the Liao Kingdom, noble concubines, princesses, county lords, noble ladies, etc., were taken away like cattle and sheep, and they were bought and sold like cattle and sheep.

Sleeping is not only a noble woman of Liao, but also an identity. The physical enjoyment is fascinating, but the spiritual pleasure is even more evocative.

The world is peaceful, there is no war, no burning and looting, as if the prosperous era is coming.

However, the high-level leaders of the Jin State were quarreling violently, and the main war faction advocated tearing up the alliance and finding an excuse to go south and plunder. The reason is that the Song Dynasty was too prosperous, and the Song Dynasty army was too bad, and it only required a very small price to obtain huge benefits;

The anti-war faction opposed the southern invasion of the Song Dynasty. The reason is that tearing up the covenant will bring notoriety to the Jin State, and going south to invade the Song Dynasty will go against Taizu's proposition; and the most important reason is that if you conquer Bianliang, you will not be able to hold it, but you will fall into a quagmire.

Historically, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Han land was torn apart, and the Han people were the weakest at that time. The Khitan army went south, destroyed the Later Jin, conquered Bianliang, and captured the Later Jin Emperor. But tactically it succeeded, but strategically it failed.

After capturing Bianliang, they were besieged by the Han Chinese, and finally the Khitans had to withdraw their troops and leave from Bianliang.

At that time, the weakest moment of the Han people could not be extinguished.

At this time, the Song Dynasty was at its peak, although the army was fighting five scum, but the Han population was too large, and there was too much money. At that time, the Jin Kingdom may stage the tragedy of the Khitan destroying the Later Jin, and if you don't get it right, you will have to kill many people.

And at this moment, there is no need to use swords, the Song Dynasty will send a rich New Year's coin; if it invades the south, it is not good, and the New Year's coin is gone, and it will cause a commotion.

The main war faction and the anti-war faction are quarreling and arguing!

At this time, a painting appeared, which was "Qingming Riverside Picture".

This painting is rich in content, depicting a variety of things, rigorous structure, complex but not chaotic, long but not redundant, clear paragraphs, in terms of technique, the combination of large strokes and fine brushwork, drawing the prosperity of Bianliang and the wealth of the Song Dynasty.

Immediately, the anti-war faction stopped speaking and no longer opposed the war.

The war planes that had been stopped started again, and the Jin army began to plan a southern invasion.

a steamed bun led to a bloody case;

A painting that led to a war!
