Shao Song

The larger the snowflakes, the later the sky, and the mountains are still brightly lit for a while. Zhao Jiu returned to Beiluan, but his heart was difficult to calm down. This is not only because it is the first time to celebrate the New Year in this era, it is inevitable to feel sad; also It was not because of the advice from Lu Hao asked just now that he realized his control over all aspects, even if it was just a small Huainan camp, it was only superficial and temporary...

　　 But more importantly, Zhao Jiu is still worried about Xia Caicheng, which is slightly quiet to the north.

It should be noted that the New Year’s Day is a big day for everyone living on this land, and the golden army also celebrates the New Year universally. From the great location of the northern peak of the Palgong Mountain, it is condescending and distant. Hopefully, I could faintly notice that the Golden Army Camp was also holding a lantern for a feast, but even though the huge Xia Caicheng was brightly lit, it was silent at this time.

　　This situation can only show that the hearts of the people, including Zhang Jun Zhang himself, have been depressed to the extreme. It is almost conceivable that when the holiday season is approaching, it is not an opportunity for Xia Cai to breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, it catalyzes their desperate despair.

　　 "Officials!"

　　Responsibility, Yang Yizhong saw Zhao Guan's family sitting under the dragon and looked for a long time, there were already snowflakes on his shoulders, but he couldn't help stepping forward to remind him. "It's getting late, and the snow is heavy here, so it's better to go back earlier."

　　 "Can you give Xia Caicheng something?" Zhao Jiu stood with his hands behind, without turning his head back.

　　 "It must not work." Yang Yizhong had to answer all the questions, naturally he had thought about this question a long time ago, so he almost blurted it out. "The minister knew that the officials were worried about Cai Nei's military morale, but at this time Neidu was burned. At this time, the laborers who transported goods could not even find a place to stop the ship."

　　 "If you don't send a lot of goods, just send a messenger to labor?" Zhao Jiu couldn't ask.

　　 "Single ships are of course no problem. In the daytime, it is not that the river patrol sergeant will send the condolences of the officials and the ministers." Yang Yizhong sighed. "But it can only be so. The sergeants in the city are faint and unstable, and the ships dare not pass. In this case, if you really send a serious messenger to pass, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating..."

"You mean you will end up like Zhao Yuanzhen?" Zhao Jiu mentioned one person casually, but he went to cross the river to pass the decree before the fire that day. As a result, Zhao Ding, who disappeared after the fire, was confirmed yesterday that he was detained by the angry sergeant Zhang Jun. In Caicheng, it was now'protected' by Taiwei Zhang.

　　 "Yes! If the angel is detained in the army again, it will encourage instability in Xia Caicheng. And, so..."

　　 "Besides, in such a situation, no one wants to cross the river even when there are not many civil and martial arts. From the overall point of view, it is not worth the futile sacrifice of civil and military lives?"

　　 "Yes." Yang Yizhong answered immediately, but then he paused before gritting his teeth. "However, the minister can go. The minister originally came from Zhang Taiwei's army. They are familiar with each other. They will not detain the minister. Instead, they can persuade Zhang Taiwei to settle down and maybe bring Zhao Yushi back."

　　 "Let's go!" Zhao Jiu raised his head and looked at the snowflakes flying and falling into the brazier beside him, but he gave the order directly. "Take advantage of the darkness, take my gold medal, and then you will order yourself to take a group of people to patrol the river, take a small boat, and sneak across the river to the opposite side of Cai Nei."

　　Yang Yizhong repeatedly nodded, hurried away, but went back and forth: "Does the official have any words to explain to Taiwei Zhang?"

　　 "No! It's just consolation in person!" Zhao Jiu hesitated, but suddenly shook his head. "When you are ready, I will get the gold medal from my account."

　　 It had no origin, Yang Yi's center panicked, but could only respond.

But as soon as Yang Yizhong left, Zhao Jiu went back to his own account, and summoned Lan Gui, the guardian, first let the latter get the gold medal, and let the other party personally help him with his armour... Lan Gui took a bitter all the way. Face, but he didn't dare to persuade him.

　　 After a while, Yang Yizhong returned to the imperial account and saw Zhao Jiu, who was dressed in an ordinary dress and carrying a food box, was not surprised. He just looked up and sighed.

　　 Besides, like Lan Gui, after experiencing Liu Guangshi and the deserters of the Western Army, there is no one in Huainan Camp here that can resist Zhao Jiu's recklessness on the surface. In fact, not to mention a military commander and an eunuch. Even if a decent prime minister like Lu Xianggong, who walks in the presence of the second person, can't he only use drunken speech to say a few vague remonstrances?

However, this time is still a matter of great importance. Although Yang Yizhong did not dare to persuade him directly, he was slow along the way. When he arrived at the riverside ferry, he was even more excuses to wait for delays, and he was reluctant to sail for a long time... Yes. Therefore, Zhao Jiu didn't say a word, but just let him perform, until the Yushi Zhongcheng Zhang Jun got the news from Lan Gui in the snow, and came to the ferry in embarrassment.

　　 "Guan...Guanjia, why on earth is this?"

　　 Zhang Jun came to the ferry and saw Zhao Jiu calmly boarding the boat in front of him, but he couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed forward and grabbed the food box in the opponent's hand, almost crying inquiries.

　　 "I got two things wrong." Zhao Jiu put one foot in the boat and the other on the side of the boat, and then sighed softly. "First, I thought it would be Lu Xianggong who came; second, I thought you would directly persuade you in Deyuan, but you actually asked such a sentence, which caught me off guard."

　　 "It was the minister who stopped Lu Xianggong." Zhang Jun replied reluctantly. "Up until now, with the authority of the official family, if you insist on doing it your own way, no one can stop anything you want to do. However, the minister is the imperial censor. The so-called admonishment of the presiding officer has the responsibility of contacting the prime minister and the emperor. That’s why I volunteered to come to this point. As for the minister’s question today, the minister has figured it out in the past few days. There is nothing right or wrong, but there is a choice. So the minister is asking for all those who don’t understand the officialdom, in the end. Why is this?"

"I really do not know…"

　　 "The minister asked clearly." Snow fell and the ferry brazier swayed, but Zhang Jun, who stepped on the board of the ferry, had no intention of letting go. "Why do the officials have to kill Liu Guangshi with their own hands? Why do they have to take care of the deserters with their own hands? Why is the situation so unbearable now that the Xia Cai has no turn around, and the officials must stick to the Huai River? What is the point? And this time, the officials. Why does the family have to take the risk and go to the other side in person? Don’t the officials know that once Zhang Jun has evil intentions, or he can’t restrain his subordinates, the country is in danger of overthrowing? And all the things before, after all, why the officials Do you have to go it alone?"

　　 "I still don't know." Zhao Jiu shook his head again when he heard the words. "Deyuan, I know you are kind and sincere, but there are some things where there is no answer?"

　　 Zhang Jun shook his head without saying a word, and didn't mean to let go, as if he was dissatisfied with this answer... In fact, since this Yushi Zhongcheng had plucked up the courage to this point, it would be impossible if he couldn't explain it to him. .

　　 "However, I can also understand Deyuan..." Zhao Jiu laughed when seeing the other person in such a shape. "You always use Guangwu to encourage me these days. When it comes to Guangwu, before the Kunyang war, everyone said that they would give up Kunyang, but Guangwu insisted, and then only took 13 people out of the city to find reinforcements. When I want to come, some people will also ask why the general has to go his own way? In fact, I also want to ask Deyuan, you are very knowledgeable, why did you say that Guangwu had to go his own way at that time? According to the situation at that time, wouldn’t it be better to take a step back to Xiangyang? Why is he not willing to retire?"

　　 Zhang Jun was slightly startled.

　　 "Speaking of Wang Mang, I also want to ask, why did Wang Mang be a Confucian role model for half his life, and why did he go against him in the second half of his life?"

　　 "Why did the husband let go of Goujian? Why did Goujian kill Wu in 18 years?"

　　 "Why can Qin be the master of the sixth generation, step forward and annex the world? Why did the second generation die?"

　　 "Why did Dr. Chu go across the river? Although Chu had three households, why did Qin die?"

　　Zhang Jun has gradually lost his attitude, and Yang Yizhong behind Zhao Jiu is dumbfounded.

"There is also Emperor Zhaolie that Li Xianggong used to encourage me. Liu Xuande lost his wife and lost his life. Why must he take his people across the river?" Zhao Jiu continued to ask seriously, unexpectedly. With a trace of awe-inspiring attitude. "Why did Zhuge Wuhou go out of Qishan in vain?"

　　 Hearing this, thinking of Zhang Jun from that night's story, his strength almost vented.

　　 "And why does Zhang Xun have to defend Suiyang? Why does the Overlord of Chu prefer to die over Jiangdong?! It is Wanyan Agudai, and why should he fight against Liao?"

　　 At this point, Zhao Jiu easily removed the opponent's hand on the food box. "Do you still not understand Deyuan? Do you think I have no reason to do these things these days? I haven't asked myself privately why I want to do it so arbitrarily? But what I ask you today is just my whimsical thinking. Part of it. You may not know about Alexander, Hannibal, and Caesar; it is even more absurd to say Zhu Yuanzhang and Napoleon... But no matter how much I think, no matter how many questions UU reads www.uukānshu.com, I still don’t know why. ! I can only comfort myself, do it as soon as it is done, and ask so much why?"

After that, Zhao Jiu, dressed up in class, finally sat on the boat with the food box, and ordered Yang Yi to sail at medium speed, but suddenly remembered something, and then continued to ask Zhang Jun who was standing on the ferry gate. One sentence:

　　 "By the way, what happened to Li Ruoshui that Deyuan told me last time in Xia Caicheng? You know, I really can't remember many things."

　　 "Dead." Zhang Jun answered blankly, almost blurting out. "Jingkang was captured and Er Sheng was humiliated in Jinying. He spoke and scolded Jin Ren, and his tongue was cut off. He couldn't verbally scold, so he glared at him, pointed with his palm, and was cut off by his eyes. And die..."

　　 "Look, this is it." Zhao Jiu sighed slightly. "Li Ruoshui's early mission to the Kingdom of Jin, you know from your words that day that he knows the barbarity of the Jin people better than anyone else, but why does he still scold him?"

　　 Zhang Jun couldn't bear it anymore, but he knelt in the snow on the wooden stack beside the boat, and then held the boat to tears like rain: "Officials, the ministers, please cross the river down to Cai and his party!"

　　 "If you can do it, I won't say so much." Zhao Jiu waved helplessly. "But in this situation, the only one who can settle Taiwei Zhang is I alone! If you are really interested, return to the imperial camp to control the situation for me, and try to conceal something as much as possible. It is better to wait until I come back without being noticed. ."

At this point, Zhao Jiuwu opened Zhang Jun’s hands free, but he let Yang Yi start the boat at medium speed, and Yang Yizhong no longer dared to hesitate... It will take a moment, the snow is all over the sky, and the night of New Year’s Eve is full of dignity. Song official's house, unexpectedly, only took a light boat to cross the Huaihe River to the north in the snow.

　　PS: Good night everyone...it's gone.
