Fox Road Travel Notes

"hehe--"

Yan Feng said leisurely: "In your opinion, who are the Donglin Party members?"

Chen Zican touched his chin and took a few steps.

"I heard that in ancient times, there was a man who claimed to be a famous doctor. He put a flag at the door that said, 'Specialized in curing hunchbacks and curing diseases at his fingertips.'"

"There was an old man who had been rickets for half his life and suffered from hunchback, so he came to seek medical treatment."

"The man brought a door panel and asked him to lie on it."

"He then took a big stone grinder and said, as long as you endure the pain, I will run this stone grinder over your back, and your back will be straightened and you will be cured immediately!"

"The old man was shocked and said that if I were run over like this, how could I still be alive?"

"The famous doctor said with a smile, just use me, I will only treat your hunchback."

"As for your life and death, what does that have to do with me?"

Zhu Yong applauded and laughed: "This story is well told!"

"Emperor Lie used the Donglin Party once during his lifetime, and the country would lose a little vitality."

"This group of Donglin gentlemen only cares about the same party and against those who are different, and they don't care about the survival of the country. They are deeply portrayed and won my heart!"

Yan Feng also smiled and said: "Well, Dong Lin's character, Qian Qianyi is not afraid of death, he is just afraid of cold water."

"Gong Dingzi is not afraid of swords and axes, he is only afraid of Bai Ling. I have learned all these things."

"But I don't know what Mr. Hou is afraid of?"

"Your father is toothless and pretends to be mute. Then tell me, Zhang Cunren, what are you doing here?"

Chen Zican said with a smile: "Master Hou is only afraid of you hitting him on the shoulder, not anything else."

"Why?"

"Most of today's scholars have crooked minds."

"As far as I'm concerned, the heart of his young master is on his shoulders, so he can't be beaten..."

"My heart is obsessed with adultery - haha" Yong Ren couldn't help being unkind.

"Brother, I have convinced you, what a wonderful person!"

"Then I'll listen to my little brother. Instead of hitting him on the shoulder, I'll cut off his legs and feet that are good at running around in the camp!"

"Fifth brother, go and borrow the youngest's ax and use it..."

Zhu Yong agreed and turned to leave. "

"Hou Fangyu completely collapsed and cried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please show mercy. "

"I said, I, I said..."

Without waiting to ask questions, he quickly said: "Master Zhang is here because of the unrest in the place for many years."

"The bandits ranged from tens of thousands to millions. They attacked the state capital, harassed the good people, and were encircled and suppressed by the army, but they failed repeatedly, so I came here to discuss..."

At this point, he hesitated and looked at his father.

But Hou Xun seemed not only speechless, but now also blind and deaf.

"Snapped!"

Yan Feng crushed a blue and white porcelain cup from Ru kiln and casually let the broken porcelain shards fall from his fingers.

Hou Fangyu's whole body was shocked, he lowered his eyes and whispered: "He said that the Hou family is a big family in Yuzhou and is quite influential in the Central Plains."

"I hope we can help him stabilize the local order, make friends with various Wubao, establish township covenants, and jointly defend against bandits..."

"anything else?"

"Also, and also, I will, no, my father introduced Jia Shitai, the brave leader of Yuzhou Township, to Mr. Zhang."

"He said that as long as this person is hired, it will not cost the court soldiers, horses, food and grass, and Yuzhou can send a message to decide..."

"Huh!" Several people snorted at the same time.

Among them is Hou Xun, who has been pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"And that's all?"

"Really, that's all, Your Majesty..." Hou Fangyu wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Yan Feng stood up and walked to the window: "I won't say more about the character of your father and son."

"From now on, if I find that you continue to help the tyrants and harm the people, no matter where you hide, I will definitely come and take your life."

Hou Fangyu only said yes.

Yan Feng looked back at him: "Looking back at Mount Junshan, looking down at the river thousands of miles away. The strong wind and the tide are coming, and the waves are rising... Is this what you wrote?"

Hou Fangyu was startled for a moment: "It's just a humble work."

"How heroic that day was!" Yan Feng sighed.

"Then I will give you another test: the tip of the sword is as sharp as a awn, and it always illuminates the eyes. The iron cavalry chases the brave captives, and the golden fetters chase the shrewd Qiang. In the eighth and ninth months of autumn in the high autumn, the weather is early and frosty in the Hu land. A man will not hesitate to die, and he will bravely challenge you. .Who wrote this? "

Hou Fangyu lowered his head, frowning and thinking hard.

Suddenly his eyes lit up: "This, this is "Hu No Man Walks" written by Wu Jun of the Liang Dynasty!"

Yan Feng nodded: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Hou is a man of extraordinary talent. It is indeed true."

"Okay, what a good Hu Renxing!"

"Han'er is so strong and vigorous, he dares to call no one a fool."

"So noble and bold, not inferior to the heroic writings of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

He changed the subject: "I also heard that during the Hou Jing Rebellion, Emperor Wu of Liang was trapped in Taicheng. All the officials were terrified and had no plan."

"Emperor Wu said that Wu Jun's poems and prose are majestic and well-known throughout the world. He seems to have a hundred thousand soldiers in his chest. If he can be recruited, he must have a plan to defend himself against the enemy."

"Wu Jun came to the palace and heard that the imperial court wanted him to lead the army to kill the enemy. He couldn't help but fight with both sides."

"He said to Emperor Wu: Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is best for us to surrender quickly..."

Chen Zican and Zhu Yong looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Most of the ancient literati were like this. They spoke eloquently in normal times, but kowtowed and begged for surrender when faced with difficulties.

Not only does he have no good intentions, he also lacks any backbone!

Compared to a promiscuous woman like Li Xiangjun, she is nothing.

Isn't the young master in front of me a living example?

The reason why Yan Feng told him this was to be sarcastic and admonishing.

Hou Fangyu lowered his head and did not dare to say more.

At this time, Hou Xun said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to offer you five thousand taels of silver to compensate for the hard work of the saddle and horse."

"I see that the king is well-spoken and a well-educated man. If you want to make contributions, I have some old friends who you can recommend."

"As long as it doesn't hurt anyone's life, anything can be said."

Yan Feng sneered: "Five thousand taels?"

"So generous!"

"Shang Shu Hou, when you were the governor of Henan, within one year, you promoted Zuo Liangyu from a lowly disciple who warmed your bed and cooked your belly to a second-grade general military officer."

"It is said that he led his army through Guide Mansion and sent 200,000 taels of silver to your family at one time. Is this true?"

"The great emperor died for his country, and his son-in-law was waiting for him during the period of national mourning. He spent a lot of money every day, drunkenly living and dreaming on the banks of the Qinhuai River, chasing joy and laughter..."

"I'm too lazy to say anything else."

"Today, our brothers would like to borrow one hundred thousand taels of silver from your Hou family to donate these ill-gotten gains to the suffering people in the world."

"This can be considered as a way to accumulate virtue for you, isn't it too much?"

"what?"

Hou Xun was surprised and said: "Ten, one hundred thousand taels?"

"This, Your Majesty..."

"When Zhang Cunren left your home, there were more than a dozen boxes and two carriages in the convoy."

"Aren't you here to represent the Yuzhou squire this time and send him money?"

Hou Fangyu and Hou Xun looked at each other, both bowed their heads and were speechless.

Chen Zican no longer has a good impression of the father and son.

I couldn't help but taunt each other: "It's easy to keep stolen money, but it's hard to let go of good money. Do you not want to be a human being anymore?"

Hou Xun was shocked and took a step back: "Your Majesty, yes, we have something to discuss..."

Chen Zican smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, isn't this just a discussion?"

"Well, let me tell you a story to calm your nerves."

"It is said that two monkeys were killed by someone..."

Zhu Yong and Yan Feng couldn't help but smile at each other, but Hou Xun and Hou Fangyu looked embarrassed.

"They came before the King of Hell and cried out about their misfortunes."

"The King of Hell sympathized with them and comforted them, so what do you want to do in your next life?"

"Say it and I will satisfy you."

"The two dead monkeys said in unison, Your Majesty, we just want to be human beings!"

"The King of Hell said, well, let's pluck the hair off their bodies first."

"But before I even picked up two handfuls, the monkey started crying in pain."

"The King of Hell smiled and said, you are so broke and you still want to be a human being?"
