Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Among the senior officials of the two divisions in Beijing, Gao Huaide is a good friend of his father Shi Yanchao, Wang Shenqi is the most loyal subordinate of his husband, and the current top general in Beijing is his father Shi Yanchao.

Not to mention Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, Dong Zunhui, Luo Yanhuan, Shen Zhiyi, Murong Yanzhao, etc. who are the high-ranking generals in the camp outside the capital.

Wang Zhong and Shao Ji are the most loyal generals of historians, Dong Zunhui, Luo Yanhuan and Shen Zhiyi are veteran generals who later followed her husband Shi Congyun, and Murong Yanzhao is a general under his father Shi Yanchao...

For a while, the more she thought about many things, the more her heart beat wildly.

Zhao Shijian and his grandfather Zhao Ying have learned a lot. They have gone through the Later Jin Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty. They have experienced a lot. They are smart and smart, and they have been keenly aware of some unusual things.

Perhaps no one has noticed these things, or no one has thought about them, but the more she thinks about them, the more frightened she becomes. Unknowingly, the historian seems to have reached a very high and far place, and may be about to reach a crisis of life and death.

Maybe it's because today's son is focusing on the military, but he is not so keen on political affairs, or maybe the emperor is completely unaware of these subtle changes that have accumulated over time, but one day, the contacts accumulated over the years and the impact of so many wars will probably explode. .

At that time, if you take one wrong step, you may be doomed, and your body will be smashed to pieces...

Zhao Shijian didn't dare to think about it, and the hand holding Liumei was trembling.

"Sister, what's the matter with you?" Sixth Sister looked up, looking puzzled at her pale face.

Zhao Shijian shook his head, smiled and said to her, "It's okay, I just think about something tomorrow, I'll go back first."

Sixth Sister got up to see her off and walked out of the small courtyard. Zhao Shijian let out a long breath, and suddenly felt a sense of relief, but his heart began to fluctuate.

She didn't dare to think about the future, afraid of revealing her secrets in front of Sixth Sister, afraid of frightening the innocent her.

Now that I think about it, I feel more and more that it is very likely to happen...

That night, Zhao Shijian suffered from insomnia and could not sleep for a long time.

........

The next day, the Kaifeng government issued an official notice, and notices were pasted in front of several gates inside and outside Daliang City, announcing the results of the Southern Expedition Army.

There was a sensation in the capital for a while, and the news spread in all directions, and soon attracted more and more people to watch, and then the news quickly spread in Daliang City.

It was just in time for the autumn harvest, and when they heard the good news that Master Wang had regained the land of Jingchu, many people were extremely excited, and it immediately became a topic of conversation among people in the streets and alleys after dinner.

The spread is very wide and the influence is huge. Many storytellers and singers have begun to talk about Shi Congyun's legendary story.

I have to say that sometimes luck is also very important. If this year is not a good year, the enthusiasm of the people may not be so great, but in a good year, the family wins, and the double happiness is handed over for a while, and the people can't help but connect the two things psychologically. .

Outside Daliang City and its surrounding states and counties, many villages and towns even beat gongs and drums to celebrate this event. If it was just a single harvest year or a single imperial court victory, it might not be so far. The two things together are enough to make people happy Encouragement, beat gongs and drums.

For a while, it became a fashion around August. After that, Shi Congyun's deeds and reputation spread more widely. He crossed the Taotao River, spread northward, and reached Hebei and other places.

Cang County, where Cangzhou Government is located, the outer wall of the county is several feet high, which is

Chapter 209, Aftermath of the Great War

On August [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daliang City is rare to be decorated with lights and brightly lit.

Since the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there has been no such grand event for many years. The regime in Daliang has changed again and again. The Khitan kings have all come to Daliang to be emperors. The last time Daliang City was looted by the army was only seven years ago. The big ones are still vivid.

The founding emperor Guo Wei led an army into Daliang to overthrow the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, but in order to win over the soldiers, he had to promise them to plunder Daliang.

It's not that the common people don't have a long memory and forget the pain when their scars heal, but they are too miserable and have long been numb, so they have no time to think. In this troubled world, life is still difficult, and many things have no chance to think about it.

The Zhou Dynasty also brought a new atmosphere to Daliang. First, the immortal king Guo Wei made great efforts to govern in the past few years, set an example, and implemented many reforms, which made Dazhou quickly gain time to recuperate.

After that, Guo Rong, the emperor of the dynasty, was brave and diligent after he came to power, and his performance in the military was outstanding.

First, Yujia personally conquered Gaoping and defeated the army of the Northern Han Dynasty. Later, he ordered generals Wang Jing and Shi Congyun to defeat Houshu and seize the land of the four states. state land.

This year, the general Shi Congyun was reused again to seize the three states of Nanping and the nine states of Wuping, a total of twelve states.

In just five years, the Zhou Dynasty expanded its land to a total of 100 states and more than [-] counties. Such achievements are enough to inspire the people of the country and shock the world.

The prosperity of martial arts has already had the momentum of the peak of the later Tang Dynasty, and because of the smooth foreign expeditions, it has also made the country have a rare stable life. Soldiers have to fight, and ordinary people can always live in peace.

So in this autumn, it began to gradually restore the prosperity of the past, and the people finally had some spare energy, and began to celebrate this harvest world and the victory of the army in the south.

The imperial court is also gradually getting richer. Although wars cost a lot of money, they are constantly replenished after fighting in the south. More and more

The court also rewarded all officials with a lot of money, charcoal, firewood, wine, rice, dried meat, chestnuts, etc.

Opposite Daxiangguo Temple, on the south side of the East Street, the tall Zhumen is particularly fortified, the red lanterns the size of a millstone sway gently in the autumn wind, the clean and smooth stone steps in front of the gate, and the huge pillars that are difficult for one person to hug, make the pedestrians come and go can be avoided by far.

Looking at the tall guards in full armor in front of the door, together with the hideous characters of Prince Wei's Mansion, it is particularly oppressive and makes people stay away from it.

For the people of Daliang, the king of Wei didn't know much, and he didn't know much. If he crossed the Yellow River and went to the north bank, he would be famous.

For the people north of the Yellow River, everyone in the Fu family in Weizhou knew everyone, but in Daliang, there was no such arrogance and aura.

On the contrary, the gradually rising historians, the Zhao family, the Gao family, etc. are impressive.

Among them, the father and son of the historian family are the most famous, Shi Yanchao, the number one fierce general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Shi Congyun, the number one handsome talent in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Some people privately compared them to the father and son of the Wang family during the first emperor's time.

The first emperor's generals Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his father were like tiger fathers but no dogs. They made great military exploits and shocked the world.

But from today's point of view, the father and son of the Shi family are still inferior to the father and son of the Wang family. The First Emperor destroyed six kingdoms, and the Wang family and his son wiped out five.

After more than a thousand years, there is another pair of father and son who can fight, and the world is not unified, and the powerful and powerful coexist. It is no wonder that people like to talk about such a coincidence.

However, this also entrusts the expectations of ordinary people, hoping that people like the Wang family and his son will come out and end this chaotic world. The days of chaotic times are really too bitter. Decades of chaos have already caused the world to suffer from the disaster of war. Ann, I look forward to the unification of the world again and the end of the war.

That's why people compare father and son who have won successive battles to Wang's father and son.

It’s just that many people have no idea about such expectations. There are too many people who can fight in the past few decades, but no one can rule the world and end the strife and war.

.......

In the majestic Prince Wei's mansion, the atmosphere is completely different. Outside there are soldiers, but inside there are women's laughter.

A pleasant voice like a silver bell wafted around the house.

"You are not allowed to come out, sixth! You have to stand by my side, I am your elder sister!" Second sister Fu was like a child who was not grown up, threatening the well-behaved sixth younger sister with her waist in her hand, holding a poker card from which the words came out. , That was the way Shi Congyun taught his wives and concubines at home, and they brought them to Wei Wangfu.

Zhao Shijian, Fu Er and Fu Liumei played cards together, while the dignified Empress Fu sipped tea and talked with the equally generous Zhou Xian. They were all elegant people.

The sixth child was forced to be helpless. He looked at the second sister with grievances, and then looked at Zhao Shijian next to him, and whispered: "Second sister, you are a landlord, we are not a family." Then he played a card and crushed her to death. Let Fu Er lose the battle.

The second mansion couldn't help complaining: "Hmph, it's different when you're married, and you won't ask for a kiss with your second sister! I only have a husband in my heart."

Fu Liu blushed and argued, "No, no, second sister, you are a landlord, and what you want is none of my business."

The two sisters were talking about it, Zhao Shijian didn't want to interrupt, but Fu Er took a look at her, and then said with a strong sense of gunpowder: "Now you, sister Zhao, are closer than my own sister."

Zhao Shijian was not to be outdone: "That's natural. Sixth Sister and I are a family. It is said that if you marry a chicken, you will marry a dog. Sixth Sister has long been a member of the historian."

Fu Er was at a loss for words for a while, and felt that Zhao Shijian was hateful, and the eldest sister was also angry with her before.

Empress Fu over there had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, how old are you guys, and you are still noisy."

"Stop playing cards, we'll go to watch the moon later, and when Lao Liu comes over, I have a lot to say to you." Seeing the elder sister waving, Lao Liu obediently passed by.

"Go to the pavilion in the backyard and prepare the melons and fruits. Lao Liu and I have something to say." Empress Fu ordered the others as a matter of course. , the honorable status should be obeyed.

Fu Ermei was only afraid of the eldest sister in her life, so of course she obeyed.

Zhao Shijian's reaction was relatively flat, and she also saluted and agreed. She understands the relationship behind the Fu family and the Shi family better. The fact that their relatives can meet, it already shows that the relationship between the two families is close.

......

In the long corridor, the bright moonlight is shining down, the vermilion pillars are densely packed, and the shadows are scattered.

Fu Liu was a little nervous. Every time she was with her eldest sister, she would be nervous. In all fairness, she actually prefers to be with her husband.

Being with my husband is always very relaxed, with a carefree feeling, not as stiff as it is now.

"Do you know the news from the south? Your husband won a big victory in Wuping." The elder sister said.

Fu Liu nodded, "Husband said it in his letter at home."

"He is very happy with you." The eldest sister said something of unknown meaning, and then said: "It's good that you know, he has such achievements, and it will be different in the future."

Speaking of which, the elder sister stopped and looked back at her earnestly, making her straighten up quickly, "Lao Liu, now you have to understand that there is only one Shi Congyun in the world today, and there is no second one.

Especially after he leveled Nanping and Wuping this time, such a great achievement must be the most important minister of my Zhou Dynasty. You have to hold him firmly and be more obedient to him. Man, you should try your best to say what he says Promise, don't be afraid of shame, sooner or later you will be able to hold him firmly, not to mention that you are still cute and cute.

Shi Congyun dotes on that Zhao Shijian, you have to know how to snatch it, snatch it, and fight for it. You are the first wife, and you must firmly hold the doting that belongs to you firmly in your hands, and don't let others overstep it. "

She said in a low voice, "Especially that Zhao Shijian, you have to be careful, she is not an easy woman to deal with, and she has a lot of calculations. I sent someone to inquire. After she was the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, she must have a lot of knowledge. Don't underestimate her."

Fu Liu was a little embarrassed. She did think about those things before she got married, but after she passed, she realized that Shi Fu's life was much more comfortable and happy than she thought. Husband is a very carefree person, he doesn't pay much attention to them, and he doesn't treat them that much. Require.

Even the husband will take her to the river to ride a horse, catch fish, and take her to visit the scenery in Daliang.

Especially after getting in touch with other noble ladies, she understands how good her husband treats them.

That kind of free and carefree feeling was unprecedented for Fu Liu who grew up under strict family education. She liked and cherished it very much. Seeing her eldest sister again, she thought of her childhood days again.

There are many rules in the family and they are very strict. As a lady, she has been cautious since she was a child and has been reprimanded a lot.

The eldest sister is different from the second sister. The eldest sister has her own ambitions and is strict with herself. The second sister is several years older than her. When the second sister was just sensible, the Fu family was not so famous and the rules were not so strict.

But it was different when she was sensible, so she was strictly disciplined since she was a child.

Seeing Eldest Sister again, she was terrified. In her heart, she preferred the feeling when she was with her husband, but not with Eldest Sister, but she dared not say it.

She also understood the meaning of what the elder sister said, and the sixth child disagreed in her heart, but she didn't dare to refute the elder sister, so she could only nod obediently, and pretend she didn't hear it, she thought.

She remembered what Sister Zhao and Second Sister said just now, she is already a member of the Shi family...

That's right, she is already a member of the historian's family. Sixth sister secretly thought, if she doesn't listen to the elder sister's words for the sake of the historian's family, it doesn't violate women's ethics.

The two continued to walk forward slowly, the moonlight in the small courtyard was clear, sprinkled in the middle of the corridor, like a clear pool of moonlight, settled in the autumn chrysanthemums and rocks.

"What a beautiful moon..." Sixth Sister sighed, and added in her heart, if only her husband could watch it with them.

"How does your husband treat you?" the elder sister asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Sixth Sister quickly realized, "Very good."

"You..." Everyone looked up slightly, and said casually: "How is the intercourse between your husband and wife... I mean, do you have children, and you can keep your status for a long time if you have children. "

The sixth child blushed, shook his head again and again, stepped forward and hugged the elder sister's arm coquettishly, "Elder sister..."

"What's the matter? What's the difference between men and women? It's all a matter of human relations. I've seen you a lot!" the eldest sister said repeatedly.

The sixth child was convinced, but still felt a little shy, and said in a low voice, "I was scared at first, so I closed my eyes, and my husband coaxed me, he always lied to me and bullied me, but I...... I was dying, but I feel that I can't leave my husband even more, I don't know what's wrong..."

Speaking of this, Fu Liu's little face was so red that it was dripping water.

"He... looks at his tall and big appearance, and he is not afraid of crushing you." The eldest sister said and looked at her petite body.

"No, my husband is very careful, but he is too big and I am too young."

"Really..." The eldest sister suddenly stopped talking, and Fu Liu followed behind, not daring to talk too much. In the corridor of the small courtyard, everything fell silent, and the sisters walked forward one by one.

When they got out of the corridor, they had reached the backyard before they knew it. In the small pavilion by the pond in the distance, several sisters had already prepared melons and fruits. Fu Er was waving to them excitedly, telling them to hurry over and worship the Moon God.

The eldest sister sighed, "I'm going to deal with the most difficult person."

Fu Liu looked at the eldest sister with some puzzlement.

The eldest sister stretched out her hand to touch her little head, "It's that Zhao Shijian, she must be bargaining with me again, I don't know what ecstasy soup your husband fed her to make her so desperate..."

Fu Liu didn't speak, she thought that her husband didn't give them the ecstasy soup, it was something else.

.......

The Mid-Autumn Festival passed quickly, and the festive atmosphere was still in the air. Afterwards, at the court meeting on the [-]th, the officials asked the eunuchs to announce the major victories achieved in the south in front of all the officials.

Hundreds of officials came to congratulate and praised him one after another, which made the officials very happy for a while.

After that, the official issued an edict to formally establish the "Jingnan Army" in Jiangling, with Li Hanchao as the commander of the Jingning Army.

Set up "Xiaoxiang Army" in Tanzhou (Changsha), with Li Chuyun as the commander of the Xiaoxiang Army, stationed in the two places, and recruited troops, and the required expenses were funded by Nanping and Wuping.

The officials personally praised Shi Congyun's achievements, counted the previous achievements, and called Shi Congyun "my champion" again, and praised him as the pillar and mainstay of the country.

At the same time, the Hanlin Academy was asked to write a document to commend Shi Congyun's contribution to the recruiting envoy. Everyone saw the joy of the officials and praised desperately.

Afterwards, the officials asked the privy envoy Wei Renpu to announce the follow-up work of the southern war.

First, officials from Henan and Hebei were transferred to Wuping to fill the vacancies, and the vacancies of Henan and Hebei officials were replaced by talents selected from this year's imperial examination.

Later, General Shi Congyun selected two armies from the [-] to [-] troops, and left them to Li Hanchao and Li Chuyun respectively, and the rest of them still retreated to Daliang from Xiangyang and Nanyang.

At the same time, Li Guhou was ordered to retreat with the army, so as to prepare food and grass for the army to retreat, and ensure the army's safe withdrawal to Daliang throughout the process.

The edict was soon sent south as well.

At this time, officials from the Hanlin Academy stood up and expressed their wish to hold a prisoner offering ceremony.
